I will have a poke around in the bios === thothcastel2 is now known as thothcastel1 === thothcastel1 is now known as ThothCastel [06:15] I need help. I used to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu. I wanted Ubuntu off my laptop. I went into windows and I went to Disk Management. I deleted the partition containing Ubuntu then expanded my windows partition to reclaim that free partition. When I boot my laptop I get a grub shell, like a command prompt but for grub. I can still get into Windows by hitting ESC while booting and selecting boot options and scrolling to w [06:15] indows, but how can I remove grub and just boot normally into windows without having to hit esc? I have tried everything I have found online with no avail... [06:17] mrdavidagroves: did you try the suggestions from https://askubuntu.com/questions/429610/uninstall-grub-and-use-windows-bootloader/654913 , as well? [06:17] one moment let me check this out [06:22] I have tried the first one where you get into the EFI volume and remove the ubuntu boot directory, the second one when I try to do "bootsect /nt60 C: /mbr" the first thing cmd.exe tells me is that is updated the NTFS filesystem bootcode. It may be unreliable since the volume could not be locked during update, access is denied. Then it tells me Bootcode is only updated on MBR partitioned disks. A different partition scheme i [06:22] s used on this diso, bootcode was successfully updated on all targeted volumes. The last one where I boot from windows 10 usb and try the bootrec /fixmbr command I always end up getting an access is denied error [06:23] you need to run these commands as admin [06:23] I have ran them as admin [06:23] I always open cmd.exe as admin [06:24] I suppose you already asked ##windows channel about this? [06:24] the only thing i have not done is to reinsteall ubuntu and install the bootrepair using the ppa given and ran that command [06:24] I am not sure how access works in that system [06:24] I have an I get the same answers I have already tried, I was hoping someone here could help. I am about to pull my hair out [06:24] they do not know why your access is denied, correct? [06:25] yes and i cannot really find any answers online either and the ones i have found did not work [06:29] mrdavidagroves, hmm, I have found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6gB5Akuyms , maybe you would like to try that [06:29] bruh bring it on, ill try anything [06:29] one moment and ill check it out [06:30] they open cmd from some advanced options thing, not like usual [06:31] and also assign the volume a letter, and change to some correct directory first [06:31] I don't know which of these steps is more important [06:31] in any case you need to make a backup first [06:34] I will have to reboot and try this, I shall report back [06:57] Sadly that did not work, still getting the access is denied messages :( [06:57] I wanna scream [06:59] hmm [06:59] https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-windows-mbr-from-ubuntu/ <-- you could do this, but without installing (use live cd or live usb) [07:01] is there a gd software in our repositories that can help us send files from the desktop to a phone that is connected to the same network . say same wifi. ???

[07:52] kinda [07:54] That last one did not work so I started getting mad and screwing with every BIOS setting I had. Turns out there was a setting I did not see that allowed me to change the OS boot order, it was kinda hidden. But I changed it to boot to Windows first and now it works. The Ubuntu option is still there but it is now hidden. [07:55] Glad you got it working, mrdavidagroves [07:55] thanks, after 5 hours of working on this I feel no relief lol.

[08:21] Gargoyle: did 4.18 solve your issue or not? [08:22] Not installed yet. I'm going to have to do a whole bunch of power off / cold boots to see if I can reliably get the error first.

[11:12] I know it's a known issue, I just can't work out from 10+ years of people talking online about it - what is generally the most up to date workaround for it (and I say workaround as I don't think it'll get fixed, probably not until were all on wayland) [11:13] stevenm: do you have a bug ID on that?

[11:17] I'm on 18.04 currently [11:18] stevenm: as suggested in #93 please affect yourself and describe your experience/ubuntu version [11:18] You seem to have no real useful information [11:19] Except bureaucracy for something that is well documented and known on many different distro's and mailing lists the world over [11:20] stevenm: this is not the complaints channel, if you experience this bug, please add your description to the bug [11:20] I'm not treating it as one! I'm here to "chat" about possible up to date workaround people are aware of for this common issue [11:20] Not to discuss the issue itself or talk about bug reporting [11:21] stevenm: this is not a chat, this channel focuses on ubuntu support issues [11:21] Support in the form of chat... you know, the C in IRC [11:22] !chat | stevenm [11:22] stevenm: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[11:27] stevenm: if you have a rare bug that is is over 12 years old and spans multiple distro's, this probably isn't the best support channel to get help with it. I would stick with the reported bug, mark yourself as affected and help out by providing information to the reported bug about your system and environment. This channel is filled with volunteers from the Ubuntu community who try to help with issues as best they can. [11:27] "This channel is filled with volunteers from the Ubuntu community who try to help with issues as best they can" <-- this I know. And if all I got was no reply back, I'm fine with that. [11:28] but if I happen to stumble upon someone reading the channel logs who knows of the same issue (I know a long shot)... then that'd be great. That's the only intention I had here. [11:29] Hi folks [11:32] so e.g. an old fix from what I can find was to install something called 'evrouter' to remap these higher keycodes - but as of the X.org that shipped with 8.10 that doesn't work now [11:33] stevenm: hence why the developer is asking new information...

I wrote it in /usr/lib/systemd/system/jira.service, but using "systemctl start jira" returns "Unit jira.service not found" [11:46] where is the correct place for it? [11:46] im0nde1, in /etc/systemd/system [11:47] Habbie: was that changed? I got the path from the docs somewhere? [11:47] oh it seems I have to run systemd daemon-reload too? [11:47] im0nde1, both paths should work; but you're not supposed to put things in /usr, that's what apt is for [11:47] im0nde1, probably [11:49] Habbie: ok.

[15:36] pm-utils are obsolete in 18.04, systemd handels power matters, right? [15:37] hey? [15:37] deadrom: I'm trying to find documentation on suspend to disk, so far I was only able to find the command to verify the power state is supported [15:37] !patience | Ryu22 [15:37] Ryu22: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/ [15:38] deadrom: You should be able to execute the command "systemctl hibernate" [15:38] pragmaticenigma: lemme try [15:40] pragmaticenigma: asks for sudo passwd, then screens blank, then desktop comes back and "Failed to hibernate system via logind: Access denied" [15:41] tbh I don't know what's the problem to begin with to check on internet I tried tho but ok I will have patience... [15:41] deadrom: Because it was systemctl... there might now be something journald or syslog to help troubleshoot [15:44] Ryu22: We are all volunteers here, and most are doing the same as you with web searches in attempt to help you out. The first place I start with is, did you have any of the experienced graphics glitches when you booted form the live install media? [15:44] help me guys, I've presed some keys, and got in a terminal, I can't manage to get back to the desktop view. All I could do is run irssi and come here [15:45] ctrl+alt+f5 I've pressed [15:45] hi friends, i have a hp spectre x360 (late 2018 model). when i press F5 to toggle the keyboard backlight, *sometimes* it triggers the lock screen. [15:45] uh wdym [15:46] backlight off -> press F5 -> Ubuntu locks [15:46] qswz_: alt+f7 [15:46] nothing ? [15:47] sorry back, I messed up again [15:47] Ryu22: quick recap of the issue? [15:48] Can't get desktop driver installed and experiencing lag and screen glitches [15:48] same issue in every linux distro [15:49] ok, fixed [15:49] qswz__: alt+fx switches to tty #x. the only exception is to *exit* from graphical to an tty, for that you need to add ctrl, so within X ctrl-alt-fx gets you a tty, alt+f7 gets you back to X [15:50] Ryu22: hardware desciption please, cpu, gpu, possibly chipset or make/model of PC/laptop [15:50] Ryu22: Let's lay down some foundations.. First, make sure while you are here, you post as much as you can in a single message, it makes it easier for everyone to read and follow along. Next, if you are replying to someone, make sure you start with their screen name, you can usually type a few characters followed by the tab key to auto completed. This will make it easier for those that are helping you to see that you have [15:50] responded. Finally, do not use abbreviations. Use complete sentences and words. This is a global community and some abbreviations have different meaning to different culters. [15:51] Ryu22: What I asked is, when you installed I assume you used the Live USB method. Meaning you can try Ubuntu (or its flavors) before installing. Did you experience any graphical issues while in the Live USB session? [15:51] does anyone know of a toolbar way to use openvpn on ubuntu 18.04 LTS? I know the terminal command is very simple "openvpn --config /path/to/sample.ovpn" - but for how often I am switching on/off for work networks it would be really helpful for a toggle. Is there anything available? [15:52] jayjo: I believe it is supported directly or through installing a package in Network Manager [15:54] jayjo: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn [15:55] Is there a way to increase the default keyboard repeat rate in a virtual console (the one accessed by pressing `Ctrl-Alt-F1`), similarly to what `$ xset r rate 175 40` does under X? [15:56] crose: kbdrate [15:56] thanks [15:57] pragmaticenigma: you petrified Ryu22. add a line to the "ropes talk" at the end "we are not mean, we are efficient" or something like that. [16:01] deadrom, Processor: AMD APU A-4 6300, Don't have GPU only APU And Idk about chipset And it's a PC === BurekzFinezt is now known as Burek [16:04] pragmaticenigma, I'm sorry for posting too many texts and no didn't experience anything while installing except it was a bit laggy in test mode while installing [16:06] Ryu22: Lag is normal. The reason I ask, in the live installer, the default opensource drivers are used. If you attempted to install the proprietary graphics drivers, they are likely the reason you are having issues. I would recommend removing them, or if you haven't gotten to invested in the system. A reinstall might be quicker. [16:13] pragmaticenigma, I've been trying to install proprietary drivers but I always get errors and I did try reinstalling I tried several distros the only problem is I can't really install those drivers I don't have much experience either [16:15] Ryu22: you might wanna test some higher !mainline kernels as a test or !hwe [16:17] lotuspsychje, you mean try different kernal for my motherboard? sorry I don't really get much... [16:17] Ryu22: your ubuntu-mate has now kernel 4.15 and you experience problems, so as a test you could try hwe or higher mainline kernels [16:19] pragmaticenigma: i installed it, now in my 'Settings > Network' pane I see Wired and VPN, in VPN I have the option to use an OpenVPN setup. I see 'import from file' which seems to only populate the gateway. Not sure how to proceed with the "Authentication" options [16:19] lotuspsychje, ok how? [16:20] Ryu22: lets try HWE first: from a terminal: sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 [16:21] lotuspsychje, alright it's downloading [16:21] Ryu22: after that you can reboot, do you know howto switch kernels in grub? [16:22] lotuspsychje, no I don't.. and first of all how do I get into grub? [16:23] Ryu22: well after the installation it will automatic boot into the hwe kernel, but in case something goes wrong you might need to boot back into 4.15 [16:24] Ryu22: to enter grub, hold shift at boot and you can switch ubuntu kernels [16:24] lotuspsychje, oh ok so I just restart now and hold shift to enter grub menu? [16:25] Ryu22: just restart now and if something would go wrong and you cant boot, try reboot and enter grub to load 4.15 [16:26] lotuspsychje, Alright will do thanks~ [16:28] Hi, running Ubuntu 16.04, have php7.2-fpm installed, but /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7.2 seems to be missing? I have php5.6-fpm and php7.1-fpm installed, where both /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php5.6 and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7.1 exist. I just reinstalled php7.1-fpm and the binary still isn't showing. I have php7.2 set as my default version of the PHP interpreter through update-alternatives, and there is /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php, [16:28] which acts as a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/php-cgi-bin. Any ideas as to what is going on? [16:29] <\nilz> how did you install php [16:30] sudo apt-get install php5.6-fpm php7.1-fpm php7.2-fpm [16:30] Why is my default ubuntu user have a umask of 002? Where is this set? [16:30] Plus any modules each version requires. [16:33] <\nilz> KWhat4 i assume you find the right answer here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/disco/en/man5/login.defs.5.html (global: /etc/profile, user ~./.profile) if im correct [16:33] lotuspsychje, was it supposed to boot back normally? I mean I don't have experience with kernels.. [16:33] hi, i'm trying to create deb packages for kernel 5.1.15 using "make deb-pkg", it create only linux-headers-*.deb, linux-image-*.deb and linux-libc-dev_*.deb but not linux-modules-*.deb. What's wrong? [16:34] Ryu22: yes, check: uname -a please? [16:34] any of you guys have firefox developer edition installed? [16:35] Ryu22 I think its closer to /etc/login.def [16:35] lotuspsychje, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/m8TrCFX43h/ [16:36] Particularly USERGROUPS_ENAB [16:36] wdym? [16:36] Ryu22: yep looks good you booted on hwe 5.0.0.23 now please test your screen issues? [16:36] lotuspsychje, alright [16:37] If USERGROUPS_ENAB is set to "yes", that will modify this UMASK default value [16:39] lotuspsychje, the problems doesn't seem to be resolved and I don't get what you mean KWhat4 [16:40] Ryu22: ok, do you have time to file a bug? [16:41] lotuspsychje, ok sure but I don't have desktop drivers installed of AMD?? cuz I think that's what causing the problem Idk for sure.. [16:41] Ryu22 apparently the umask 002 (instead of the default 022) is auto applied if the uid == gid and USERGROUPS_ENAB is yes [16:42] Ryu22: ' sudo lshw -C display ' to see if a driver is loaded . [16:42] Bashing-om: radeon loaded [16:43] Bashing-om: he's on mate 18.04 4.15 and we just tryed a 5.0.0.23 [16:45] Bashing-om: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wT2bk5g8R6/ https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HD2CB32KFt/ [16:45] lotuspsychje: Looking :) [16:48] Ryu22: lotuspsychje:; " ACPI Errors " .. is this a lap top ? [16:49] Bashing-om, no it's a PC [16:49] or maybe you call it Desktop [16:52] Bashing-om: Ryu22 is experiencing screen glitches he says, on both 4.15 and 5 kernels [16:52] Hi folks - I've built the 'audacious' and 'audacious' plugins from source (apt source audacious, apply a small patch, dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc, sudo dpkg -i). This results in two packages: audacious, and audacious-plugins. Both with the same version number as the currently released. When I apt-update, it always wants to update audacious-plugins, and I don't understand why? [16:53] Peanut: we dont really support compiling from source, reccomended to use packages from the official repos [16:53] Ryu22: Well so much for my thoughts :( [16:53] ? [16:54] lotuspsychje: Ouch, is that the official policy? The issue is more with the apt tools, not compiling. What would be a good place to get help there? [16:54] Bashing-om, lotuspsychje I also experience same sorts of glitches on other linux distros [16:56] Hi! [16:56] Does ubuntu use AppArmor by default? [16:56] Peanut: maybe #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss [16:56] lotuspsychje: Ok, thanks. [16:57] !apparmor [16:57] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [16:58] okay, so it does... so I was hoping I could ask about an issue I'm having [16:58] physkets, sure [16:58] (eventhough I'm not using Ubuntu rightnow) [16:58] oh [16:59] it is purely AppArmor, and my distro does not use it by default, so I wasn't getting any help on its cahnnel [16:59] Ryu22: do you have a launchpad account please? [16:59] So I recently began using AA, and am now in the process of making a profile for Firefox [16:59] I do have a fairly populated profile right now, and am running it in complain mode [16:59] But I'm unable to view any Amazon Prime Videos... it tells me that the DRM plugin is unavailable [17:00] and when I switch off AA, then it begins to work [17:00] lotuspsychje, what's that? [17:00] Anybody know why? And how I can fix this? [17:00] Ryu22: its the website that handles bugs for ubuntu [17:02] lotuspsychje: why can't you make your own? [17:03] lotuspsychje, wait up I'll check [17:03] Ryu22: https://launchpad.net/ [17:03] physkets: sorry? [17:03] oh, nvm... [17:04] I thought you needed an account to do something, and idn;t have your own [17:08] lotuspsychje, ok registered [17:08] Ryu22: ok, now from a terminal: ubuntu-bug linux [17:10] Ryu22: this will popup a new window, and you can send the bug report [17:11] lotuspsychje, I did [17:12] Ryu22: now it will open the launchpad in your browser, asking for the bug title, write something relevant, like screen glitches happen at... [17:13] lotuspsychje, in summary? [17:13] Ryu22: yes [17:14] lotuspsychje, can you tell me what to put there? I'm confused 4 [17:15]
