=== CrazyLikeAFox is now known as StupidLikeAFox [00:45] ran boot repair and at the end it said: "Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sdb1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file!" i dont recall being able to do that in bios? [00:47] i installed another os on a different disk on my system and it took over the grub menu. now when i install a new kernel on ubuntu it doesnt show up in the list so i ran the boot repair to see if it would "overtake" what the other os setup for grub. [00:48] not sure what i need to do to flip it back over or show all of the kernels that this os has installed. [00:48] kinghat: it should work if you ran boot-repair [00:49] try rebooting [00:49] after i restarted it just showed what it has always shown and none of the newer kernels i have installed. [00:49] oh [00:49] type 'sudo efibootmgr -v' and paste in a link [00:50] i didnt remember what boot repair said in the first repair other than it was successful and to restart so i ran it again to get the message and it failed. also here is what grub customizer says: https://irc.kinghat.info/uploads/3d412b484a75d60c/image.png [00:51] EriC^^: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/c65a9e95/ [00:52] kinghat: aha [00:52] kinghat: and you're booted in ubuntu right now? [00:52] ya [00:53] kinghat: type "sudo efibootmgr -o 0001,0007,0000,0003,0004,0008" [00:55] how about those nvidia beta drivers with primus offloading :) [00:55] EriC^^: then restart? [00:55] *optimus sorry [00:55] kinghat: type "sudo ls -lR /boot/efi" and paste [00:56] https://paste.debian.net/hidden/2a5facd8/ [00:58] kinghat: and "sudo cat /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grub.cfg" [00:58] magic_ninja: Have you tested: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-435.17-Linux-Driver ? [00:58] EriC^^: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/6a919544/ [01:00] kinghat: sudo lsblk -f | awk '$4 == "/" {print $3}' [01:00] Bashing-om, I left my ubunutu laptop at work today or I would. It just got released. [01:01] EriC^^: didnt print anything [01:01] kinghat: try sudo lsblk -f [01:01] see if the mountpoint at "/" is 219dc9b4-8cb3-431c-9356-26969f209238 [01:01] looks like there is some config to be done as well http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/435.17/README/primerenderoffload.html [01:02] And it also looks like x needs updated. [01:02] EriC^^: nah its: dc554724-0076-4090-b073-2e72202e05b9 [01:02] kinghat: oh, type "grub-install" [01:02] sorry sudo grub-install [01:03] install finished no error reported [01:03] 'sudo update-grub' [01:03] done [01:04] kinghat: sudo efibootmgr -v [01:04] EriC^^: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/15d87d95/ [01:05] kinghat: it looks like you're booted into "neon" right now not ubuntu? [01:05] ya [01:05] wth dude? [01:05] xD [01:06] In this case it didn't make a difference. [01:07] magic_ninja: Yeah, but Nvidia provides the patched Xorg :) [01:07] kinghat: why'd you say you're booted into ubuntu earlier? [01:09] EriC^^: oh i guess thought you meant whatever i was on atm. but i dont want the grub from the others just this one. [01:09] its like when i installed the last os it took over the grub install. [01:09] kinghat: i meant whatever you were on, that's right [01:10] kinghat: are you booted into ubuntu right now or neon? [01:10] no on neon. [01:11] ok [01:11] kinghat: type "sudo efibootmgr -o 0001,0000,0007,0003,0004,0008" again [01:12] kinghat: then "sudo blkid" and paste [01:13] EriC^^: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/d25f8cde/ [01:15] kinghat: i dont see any ubuntu partitions there, odd, unless it's /dev/sda1 [01:15] kinghat: try 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' [01:15] and see what's inside "cat /mnt/etc/issue" [01:16] not such file or directory [01:16] kinghat: i think you removed ubuntu while installing neon, cause both used the /dev/sdb1 efi partition [01:16] no* [01:16] kinghat: type "sudo parted -ls" [01:17] how important was the ubuntu install to you? do you want it back or no? [01:18] maybe it was the manjaro install? nah im just testing things out atm [01:18] only neon is important has unsaved things atm [01:18] oh ok [01:19] i doubt it's still there, but what does parted -ls show? [01:19] https://paste.debian.net/hidden/43c1ac81/ [01:21] kinghat: looks pretty gone, all space is used up by neon filesystem [01:21] kinghat: what's inside "ls -l /mnt" seems some ext4 filesystem is there [01:22] thats just my playground ssd nothing on it. [01:23] kinghat: ah alright [01:25] if its gone how come it was showing up in the boot data? [01:27] kinghat: it's still in the efi partition (grub) and the uefi list in the motherboard [01:27] oh i see [01:32] wonder why adding kernels doesnt update grub [01:47] evening (EST here).... When I try to "ifup" my br0 (interfaces bridge), it says "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" what file do I look at to try to figure out what file it means? [01:48] itall works... I jsut wnat to learn why it says that then tells me it fails to bring up the interface even though it clearly worked [01:52] i'm inside a bionic container (host is debian 10), and lz4 is "bash: lz4: command not found" [01:53] already did "apt-get install --reinstall liblz4-1" [01:53] as it was installed [01:54] which liblz4, which liblz4-1, which lz4, which unlz4: all empty [01:56] wholesum: try liblz4-tool [01:57] sarnold: liblz4-tool: command not found [01:58] wholesum: apt install liblz4-tool :D [01:58] sarnold: but i could install it! [01:58] :) [01:58] thank you! [02:08] EriC^^: should I just remove the Ubuntu entries from the efi partition and change the boot order? [02:10] and doesn't the UEFI list in the mobo get it's info from the efi partition? [02:26] why can't I change resolution in KDE? [02:34] timplaz: can you change resolution using xrandr? [03:02] Bashing-om, I didn't know that. I've stayed away from the installer for a while now. [03:05] magic_ninja: That ^ for those willing to install/test the NVIDIA 435.17 driver. [03:06] magic_ninja: Keep in mind our PPA people will do a much better job of testing - and will release in due time :P [03:09] if i go to any other boot item other than manjaro i just get the grub> prompt. possible to wipe it all or add it back in or something? [03:12] Bashing-om, I'll have to see about the PPA's. I'm perfectly comfortable with the installer, it is just easier to let the system handle it. I've been thinking about moving my desktop over, but honestly buster is really nice on here. [03:13] Evening folks! [03:13] Is there an easy way to migrate a persistent USB installation to a "real" disk? [03:14] Basically what I have on a 4GB USB stick I want to migrate to a 1TB SSD and carry on like nothing changed. [03:14] magic_ninja: Drifting off topic now - to continue please join #ubuntu-discuss :) [03:14] I'm not joining another channel, thank you though. [03:24] I believe I created the stick with unetbootin, and have spent a lot of time configuring the system. At this point, I really don't want to abandon it, but need more space. [03:24] magic_ninja: I just looked .. and that new driver is in the PPA : https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa for the forthcoming 19.10 release :) [03:25] inv3nt0r: dd clone the usb to your ssd [03:25] Is it just a matter of DD-ing the USB stick to the new disk, then reconfiguring grub? [03:25] inv3nt0r: did you change something on grub? [03:26] No, but I assume the bootloader points at the USB stick [03:26] By GUID or /sda? or whatever [03:26] inv3nt0r: you could check grub after clone sure [03:27] That is awesome [03:27] would 19.04 have that driver? [03:28] I guess there is no consequence to dd-ing the USB to the other disk. Regrettably I am booted from it now and will have to boot from yet another USB lol [03:28] doesn't appear so [03:28] magic_ninja: driver choices are related to your cards chipset [03:28] magic_ninja: Not yet :P [03:29] inv3nt0r: yeah, better not clone something live [03:30] Well, gotta use my computer to install a pit pump tomorrow, then I have some alarming and pressure monitoring to set up on a glycol system, so no testing for a couple weeks. [03:30] lotuspsychje: The reason I am here is because I used the installer, it booted once to the new install, then, on reboot would only boot to the USB again. If it wasn't plugged in the new install didnt seem to exist. [03:32] inv3nt0r: if i was you, i would fresh install on the ssd, assuming thats gonna be your new system for a long time, tweak that fresh? [03:32] inv3nt0r: If you check, bet that the grub install defaulted to sda - and the system saw the USB as device sda. [03:34] It likely did... I can fix that from my live USB though I would assume... BIOS (UEFI or whatever nowadays) is pointed at "SDB" and it seemed to fail, then fell back on the USB and booted fine [03:34] So can I somehow fix GRUB from the live usb to point at SDB? If so then giddy up. Just found it very odd that it worked once right after install [03:35] Fun tip: remove your live USB before running update-grub === pav is now known as PAV [03:35] inv3nt0r, you using uefi? [03:35] Like if GRUB worked once, why not the second time after successful boot? [03:35] inv3nt0r: One can re-install grub to the hard drive. IF an UEFI install I have bo experince there :( [03:35] magic_ninja: I assume it us UEFI, the machine is about 3 years old === PAV is now known as pav [03:36] depends on how the OS was installed. If UEFI or if Legacy [03:36] I will say almost 100% UEFI [03:37] so you can put in the USB, then you can boot from your hard drive? [03:37] I built this box a few years ago to use as a hypervisor. A buddy of mine runs a primitive operating system under it that operates a vinyl cutter [03:37] grub was just installed on the usb? [03:39] If the USB is in a plug, it boots. If not, no operating system found. However, after I ran the installer from the USB, it booted *without the USB* from SDB1. Fiddled around for 20 mins, recreated FSTAB, installed MDADM etc, then on reboot, wouldn't go from SDB [03:39] Now, if I boot with USB in, I can get back to square one. [03:39] And here we are. [03:40] You fiddled with your fstab heh [03:40] I'm certain there is an operating system present on SDB. [03:40] anyway, boot into the OS [03:40] pastebin me sudo fdisk -l please [03:40] I fiddle with lots of things... man mount/etc. [03:40] kidding of course, not that there's anything wrong with that as per seinfeld. [03:43] fiddling is fine, you just change it back if it does nothing or doesn't have the desired effect. [03:44] Yes of course. My config is simple really. Two disks in a mirrored MDADM array that I use to store VirtualBox disks in. [03:45] So I automount everything on boot, then run a script with a 30 second delay to launch VirtualBox with volumes contained within. [03:45] TeamViewer launches after a 2 minute delay automatically so I can admin the box remotely. [03:45] so /dev/sda has your efi partition [03:45] Is that a static disk? [03:46] Being an idiot, I assumed a 4GB USB stick was adequate for this purpose. Over time, log files, temp files etc seem to have filled it. [03:47] I don't know if sda contains the EFI partition [03:47] If that is system default then probably [03:47] If you can imagine, I'm not an idiot but I'm also not a trained professional. Dangerous. [03:48] You have a raid setup and stuff, so idk. What disk has your main OS on it [03:49] I'm running from /dev/sdj [03:49] Which is a thumb drive. My plan was that we have an identical copy of it, so... if anything fails we just swap thumb drives [03:50] Basically re-image in as much time as it takes to shut down, swap, boot. About 5 mins. [03:51] This has the info you need. https://emmanuel-galindo.github.io/en/2017/04/05/fixing-debian-boot-uefi-grub/ [03:51] You can skip right to this heading : Reinstall grub-efi [03:52] Pull out that pesky USB drive before you do it or you will get errors [03:53] Thanks for the Coles Notes version. I do realize that I should always RTFM but it is nice when someone helps you cut to the crap. [03:54] So I'm good to pull even though operating from? [03:55] Well, provided you remove that USB drive, you can't screw up your grub [03:55] Makes sense. [03:55] So, I mean, you can always use the USB drive. [03:56] So it is running from ramdisk or something? [03:56] Just don't go moving around cables yet. My mobo's firmware is bugged, so I have had to do that several times when moving drives. [03:56] Lets clear this up. I am under the impression that you are booted into your primary OS on your main disk, it is just that grub is installed on your usb drive instead of your main hard drive. [03:57] No. [03:57] Let's start from the beginning. [03:57] This box boots from a USB thumb drive, which the OS sees as /dev/sdj [03:58] Then follow that tutorial from the begging. [03:58] I've been running from it for years, but it seems to have filled up with whatever crap like cache / log files etc. [03:58] so you don't have a main OS disk? [03:59] Your / is on the usb drive? [03:59] I installed to /dev/sdb (as /dev/sdc has something on it that I'm unsure of). sdc and sdd are my RAID mirror from which I run my VirtualBox VM. [03:59] Yes. / is on sdj [03:59] The USB thumb drive. [04:00] Oh, well then you didn't install to /dev/sdb [04:00] you installed to /dev/sdj [04:00] I did install to /dev/sdb, just minutes ago. [04:00] *from* /dev/sdj [04:00] oh, you copied it over? [04:00] I was attempting to get away from this thumb drive crap [04:01] coulda had a new install done by now. [04:01] No, I used the Ubuntu installer [04:01] okay. [04:01] Whatever it is called. [04:01] And.... it worked! [04:01] so you have no clue where grub is installed.. [04:01] Once. Then on reboot, GRUB effed up. [04:01] Then follow that tutorial, chroot into your new install, reinstall grub [04:01] The installer offered the opportunity to put GRUB wherever. So, I chose SDB [04:02] Do it from a live usb disk rather than your current usb disk [04:02] OR, you can just reinstall and pay more attention this time. [04:02] I figured, put GRUB on the disk that I'm going to use as main disk. [04:03] So let's back up. If I put GRUB on sdb, made all of my partitions there (manually because that was the only way), set BIOS to boot from SDB, it worked once, why did it fail on reboot? [04:03] I swear I've experienced this before... like deja vu... [04:04] Everything's going great, installing software, looking great, reboot..... big fail... [04:04] because you changed something when you were booted into the OS [04:04] and didn't realize it. [04:04] I see. [04:04] For instance, fiddling with fstab [04:04] is just one possibility [04:05] Stands to reason :) [04:05] So, you can either reinstall, or you can boot into a live disk and follow that tutorial [04:05] You've seen that pastebin... [04:06] Should GRUB be on SDA? [04:06] yes [04:06] Even if / is on SDB ? [04:06] yes it should be on sda [04:06] yes [04:06] Can it be on SDB if I config BIOS different? [04:06] Or if I config GRUB different? [04:07] nope [04:07] Or 3) If I create an EFI partition on SDB? [04:07] yep [04:07] 3 [04:07] LOL OK well that seems like my magic_ninja_ticket_to_success! [04:07] if you had just done an install, and not changed much, I would just reinstall [04:08] Makes sense. Doing now. [04:08] let it wipe the disk and handle the partitioning for you. [04:09] I'm not sure if it is *required*, but I do /efi /boot then a separate / and /home [04:09] mount: /dev/sda is already mounted or /mnt/sda busy [04:09] why would I see that when sda isn't mounted? [04:10] That was output from: mount | grep sda [04:11] Sorry my mistake [04:12] Mount | grep sda returns null [04:12] LOL sorry I should have mounted sda1 [04:13] I've lost it. [04:14] As it appears, there is a fully functional installation in sda2 [04:16] hi === jack is now known as Guest91590 [04:16] So I believe that I have gotten to the bottom of things. The EFI partition on /dev/sda is booting from /dev/sdj === Guest91590 is now known as JFox762 [04:18] hi [04:21] hi [04:22] JFox762: Hey [04:22] JFox762: Do you happen to be from Canada? [04:23] no [04:23] why? [04:23] JFox762: OK way off, a strange coincidence then. [04:34] can I use Ubuntu server install disk expert mode on an Ubuntu desktop install? [04:47] is there such a thing as a gui Snap manager? [04:50] I think there's a software store or snap store or similar application [05:35] Howdy folks. I'm having some trouble dual-booting Ubuntu and Windows 10 (With Win10 being the primary OS). I can't get the GRUB loader to show up when I boot the machine, it just loads straight into Windows. After researching a bit, I suspect it may be due to UEFI but I'm not 100% sure, and I can't seem to find a working solution. Could anyone hel [05:35] p a gal out? :) [05:36] Mirit: I think you need to restart windows -- shutting down windows these days just does a suspend or something similar [05:36] Mirit: I think there's a way to disable "fast reboot" in windows, but don't know if that's via the bios interface or windows interface [05:37] sarnold: I've tried rebooting a few times to no avail, but I'll take a peek into the fastboot and see if that solves it, thank you :) [05:38] Mirit: oh :( dang [05:42] No luck on the FastBoot front either... I did try this command to no avail as well: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi [05:43] To clarify, the command was accepted successfully but nothing has changed. It still boots straight into windows. [05:43] Mirit: ugh :( [05:44] lotuspsychje: any chance you're still around? this feels like something you're liable to have seen :) ^^ [05:44] The BIOS on this machine seems pretty archaic too... Not many options. [05:59] Aha, I may have found a potential solution. I left Rufus at it's default settings, which was MBR for partition scheme. My disk is GPT though . Gonna rebuild the bootable stick and see if reinstalling it that way fixes it. [06:01] Mirit: hmm, you may need to disable UEFI or Secure Boot or both in order to head down that path [06:02] (my newish laptop wouldn't let me switch back to legacy booting until I disabled secure boot) [06:02] Perhaps, we'll see I guess, haha. [06:02] alright, cool, good luck :) [06:02] Ah, can I post a link to an image here? It's of my RUFUS settings. [06:02] Mirit: sure [06:06] https://i.imgur.com/L0ZtvEc.png This is what I've got it at now. Before it was "MBR" and "BIOS or UEFI" [06:09] Mirit: An observation " Format Options" I would suggest that as ext4 - Fat32 is a Windows file system. [06:11] Bashing-om I don't have that as an option. I only get FAT, FAT32, or NTFS. I'm creating the ISO on a windows system though so that's likely why. [06:11] heh I don't get windows.. which of those are active and which of those are disabled? [06:13] Don't worry, I don't get Linux :P The whole thing is locked down because it was installing in that screenshot. Everything there is active. [06:14] ahh okay [06:14] Mirit: Yeah - right - making up a liveUSB - then yes Fat32 is correct. [06:18] Erm, so I'm the top answer on this page for installing it properly https://askubuntu.com/questions/783654/how-to-dual-boot-windows-10-and-ubuntu-on-a-hp-pavilion-g6 and I got to the part of making partitions in gparted, but it won't allow me to select Logical, only Primary. What gives? [06:21] I'm following* the top answer, rather. [06:22] Mirit: gpt [06:23] Could you elaborate? [06:24] Mirit: you're trying to dual boot? [06:24] Yep. [06:25] Mirit: sounds like windows is installed in uefi mode [06:25] It is, it's Win10 [06:25] you have to install ubuntu in uefi mode as well [06:25] Yeah, I am. Check the uh, imgur link I sent a few messages ago. [06:26] ah great [06:26] I accidentally had it set to MBR and BIOS or UEFI on my original attempt, but my disk is actually GPT, so I'm trying again with that. [06:26] For some reason though, gparted is graying out the Logical option. I'm gonna see if it lets me do it through the install menu instead. [06:27] Mirit: alright, basically you have to shrink the windows install [06:28] Mirit: did you shrink windows in windows disk management [06:28] I did yeah. [06:28] In the stackexchange post I linked, I pretty much did the asker's steps verbatim, except that I used RUFUS instead of Pen Drive Linux. [06:29] Mirit: alright, just choose 'install alongside windows' in the installer and it should take car eof everything [06:29] Ah okay. I'm assuming it'll make Root about 20GB, detect my RAM and set the swap to the appropriate amount, and use the rest for /home? [06:31] Or will it just put everything in one partition? Seems it's putting it in one partition with the "Install alongside windows" option. [06:31] yeah that's right [06:31] swap is a swap file in ubuntu 18.04+ [06:32] Ahh okay. The last time I touched Linux was like.. 2012 when I tried Mint haha. [06:33] yeah some stuff changed a bit [06:33] And at the time, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I still don't ^^; [06:33] :D [06:49] Groan. Still no GRUB2. I still load directly into windows. [06:49] Hi everyone, after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 I am having an issue with systemd-modules-load [06:49] systemd-modules-load.service loaded failed failed Load Kernel Modules [06:50] Is anyone available to help? [06:51] is there anything in dmesg? journalctl? [06:52] what modules are in /etc/modules* files? do those modules still make sense on 18.04? [07:06] sarnold: just saw your message [07:06] I had a look in journalctl, I think this is the problem: [07:06] Aug 08 23:38:03 soba.org.nz systemd-modules-load[1253]: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.14.135-rh164-20190731212002.xenU.x86_64/modules.dep.bin' [07:06] Aug 08 23:38:04 soba.org.nz loadkeys[1254]: Loading /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz [07:06] Aug 08 23:38:04 soba.org.nz systemd-modules-load[1253]: Failed to lookup alias 'acpiphp': Function not implemented [07:07] Couldn't write '1' to 'kernel/yama/ptrace_scope', ignoring: No such file or directory [07:09] jakefb: are you running a VPS of some sort? that kiund of looks like a redhat kernel version string [07:09] Yeah it's a VPS that I upgraded from 14.04 to 18.04 [07:10] jakefb: looks like the hypervisor is providing the kernel, not you [07:10] jakefb: they may be selling you a container of some sort rather than a VM [07:11] jakefb: this might be fine, if you know that's what you're buying [07:11] oh okay [07:11] but it would explain why you can't load kernel modules [07:11] jakefb: if it's KVM based it can be done like that (the host provides the kernel and initrd) or KVM boots with your own bootloader and kernel [07:12] what does the acpiphp error mean? Seems like a php issue? [07:13] jakefb: ACPI PCI Hot Plug :) [07:13] * ACPI PCI Hot Plug Controller Driver [07:13] aww [07:13] Ah right I see [07:13] man TJ-'s quick :) [07:13] man tj - page not found :) [07:14] so its probably safe to ignore these errors? [07:14] Should I disable the systemd systemd-modules-load.service? [07:15] jakefb: 'that depends' - on what you expect to do with it. It wouldn't give me confidence in the hoster if that is there standard deployment [07:15] s/there/their/ [07:17] I'm trying to figure out which kernel modules it is trying to load [07:17] Doesn't seem like there are any [07:17] root@soba:/var/www/amember# lsmod [07:17] libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1657 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory [07:17] Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory [07:17] jakefb: that service will only load modules that are listed in /etc/modules I think, so 'd want to know why there are modules in that list if the kernel is outside the guest [07:18] hmm not sure maybe it got added when Ubuntu was upgraded [07:19] jakefb: I cannot imagine needing acpiphp on a hosted virtual machine [07:20] Hello :) Is it possible to create an alias interface with systemd-networkd? I have a network interface named enp3s0 and I'd like an interface enp3s0:1 to affect another IP to id and run drkl on the same interface. [07:20] yeah that is true like you said if it's for PCI ports [07:20] Kendos-Kenlen: aliases are no longer used, that's a concept from ifupdown. Just add the IP address directly to the interface [07:21] TJ- I did that but it seems that drkl is not able to detect it. It only lists me the docker interface and I cannot select enp3s0 for the server and client. [07:22] Kendos-Kenlen: I'm not sure what drkl is [07:22] drbl* sorry. it's a server to run stuff through PXE such as Clonezilla (if I understand well). [07:23] I want to setup a dump system to avoid installing each of my machines manually and Clonezilla is the solution I found. Trying to set it up [07:23] https://drbl.org [07:25] Kendos-Kenlen: would adding an entirely new (virtual) ethernet interface be a solution? [07:26] I think so yes. I guess that if I bridge this interface to my enp3s0, it should work. [07:26] Kendos-Kenlen: I've not used drbl so not sure what/how it needs configuring [07:27] Kendos-Kenlen: well no, because you cannot (well not a great idea) assign an IP address to a slave interface of a bridge, so you'd be in the same situation trying to attach server and client to the bridge. I'd expect you just need to ensure routing table is correct [07:30] Okay, I understand. Seems a bit complicated but I'll try to do this. Thank you! [07:30] And if you know any dump tool easier to use than drbl/clonezilla, I am in! [07:31] hi [07:32] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/bQtYHFyTXn/ can't update OS, prob got viruses been so long [07:32] what should i do? [07:32] Hello. Looking at .config folder in my home folder, I saw a folder called gtk-4.0. Is it a sign that GNOME 4 will be released? And how can I get a package that created this folder that has settings.ini inside? [07:33] MrPlayFair: It's a certificate issue for your report that is hosted on opensuse.org. I don't think it's a virus. [07:35] Seems like the issue with GRUB not showing up is related to HP hardlocking their system to not allow other OS's to boot alongside Windows. I tried using rEFInd to no avail. I'm gonna just make a system image of Windows, make a system recovery disk, and just overwrite windows entirely. I'm not using it on that machine anyway. [07:39] MrPlayFair: You can either let them know that it's expired and should be renewed, or you can bypass the certificate check. [07:39] i'll send an email [07:41] OK. In my opinion, bypassing certificate check is not good and may compromise your system, so better wait for them to renew. [07:41] it has been like 4 months [07:42] Since it's expired? Or since they are told to renew? [07:46] Hi guys, I would like to know what is the equivalent of software-properties-gtk in the command line to switch the graphics card drivers? [07:47] gst568923: what are you trying to do these few days? [07:48] i told them to hurry up or i will pursue them [07:48] idk EoflaOE but like all my programs won't update because of this [07:48] even some new ones won't install [07:49] MrPlayfair: we actually dont really support external ppa's here [07:49] lotuspsychje I have a nvidia graphics card I installed the proprietary driver nividia-driver-390 but (as a supporter of open source software) I would like to switch to the nouveau driver. However, before making the switch I need to extract the firmware blob for h264 video acceleration [07:50] gst568923: extract the firmware blob? to fallback to nouveau just: sudo apt purge nvidia* [07:52] lotuspsychje I installed ubuntu 19.04 from scratch and ubuntu installed both the nvidia-driver-390 package and the nouveau package. I would like to know if I click on nouveau with the software-properties-gtk program, the nvidia-driver-390 package is removed or only a driver switch is made [07:54] gst568923: if you use software center GUI its a driver switch and can switch back if you want [07:55] gst568923: if you use purge on nvidia versions, you uninstall them and have the choice to install the version you want from the repo (or ubuntu graphocs ppa) [07:56] lotuspsychje so software-properties-gtk with the nvidia-driver-390 driver is not removed, only switch? [07:57] gst568923: yes, thats the tab additional drivers, you can switch between what shows in the list [07:57] gst568923: is there a reason you want to use nouveau? [07:59] lotuspsychje yes, I think that the success of a product (software / hardware) is done by users who use it, so if each of us used only free software, perhaps vendors will be convinced to release their open drivers, perhaps developing them with a platform like github / gitlab [08:00] gst568923: what kind of card chipset do you have? [08:01] lotuspsychje nvidia GF119 [geforce gt 705] [08:02] gst568923: ok, good luck! [08:03] lotuspsychje the equivalent on the terminal of the software-properties-gtk software switch driver which would it be? [08:03] gst568923: to fallback to nouveau: sudo apt purge nvidia* [08:04] lotuspsychje no the uninstall, the switch I mean [08:05] gst568923: this is the proper solution to goto nouveau [08:06] lotuspsychje yes, but before you told me that software-properties-gtk does the switch without removing ... [08:07] gst568923: if you are on nouveau, and want the nvidia driver again, sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390 [08:07] gst568923: or, ubuntu-drivers autoinstall to install most reccomended nvidia version [08:08] lotuspsychje I know this, I wanted to know how to make the switch without removing [08:09] gst568923: i dont think there's a magic red button cli to switch between nouveau/nvidia [08:10] lotuspsychje you said it yourself: `yes, thats the tab additional drivers, you can switch between what shows in the list` [08:11] gst568923: GUI yes [08:11] lotuspsychje but the gui will refer to commands on the terminal I suppose [08:11] unless theres a software-properties-gtk cli trick, but i dont know it [08:12] I'm guessing my husband needs another repository. His hard drive died and this is the backup. I tried to get 'tracet' and got: Canon TS8120 [08:12] oops E: Unable to locate package tracert [08:13] however, another problem I'm having with ubuntu 19.04 is that wpa-supplicant probably wasn't compiled with PMF (Protected Management Frame) support, leaving its users exposed to wifi client authentication attacks [08:14] ... deauthentication... [08:25] Hi I started an apt update on a server while I went to a meeting. When I got back it was asking me a question about /boot/grub/menu.lst but the SSH connection had timed out. Now I can't run apt upgrade because the lock is already taken. Is there a way to resume my previous upgrade? [08:33] hello [08:33] can i use this with hexchat on ubuntu 18.04? https://github.com/horst3180/Vertex-theme [08:34] is gtk supported? [08:36] hmm https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3AHorst3180&package=vertex-theme [08:36] no ubuntu 18.04 [08:38] ? [08:41] CoolerZ, you can just install in manually [08:43] Hi guys. Can someone help me? I'm trying to start a second X server on Lubuntu 16.04 so I can switch between them with Ctrl+Alt+F7/F8. Everything I found so far is for older versions and doesn't work. [08:58] PMunch, how [08:58]
