tomreyndoes it happen with chromium-browser, too?00:00
aroonioooh good question00:00
aroonidownloading it now00:01
sarnoldarooni: is it *one* specific extension you need to disable? several? all? try narrowing down if it's one or any etc00:01
aroonisarnold: i know if i disable all of them it works fine00:02
sarnoldso try re-enabling the first half, see what happens..00:02
tomreyngnome-shell bisecting?00:03
sarnoldbingo :)00:03

ubottuA netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit01:22
OerHeksthank you for flying #freenode01:22

lotuspsychjeNyteRukh: if you are using 18.04 there might be a known gnome boxes bug you need to workaround01:36
lotuspsychjeNyteRukh: let me know if it works by default or not01:36
NyteRukhok yes running ubuntu 18/04 with cinnamon desktop01:36
NyteRukhalrighty01:37
NyteRukhseems my bios doesnt support or not enabled the virtualizations extensions01:41
NyteRukhnot even sure what to look for in the bios01:41

mmx_in_spacethis is windows host by the way01:54
mmx_in_spaceubuntu guest01:54
tomreynmmx_in_space: so, since qemu runs on the (windows) host, and that's where you'd need to configure networking (also in the ubuntu VM, but there it'll be the same as always), this is not really a topic for this channel. maybe try #qemu or ##windows.01:59
HNICSo I am messing around with the most current version of Wine source code to build. I am on U v18. I am trying to build to include as many features as possible. It tells me the OSS version I have is too old , thus no sound for Wine. I download the source code, build, and install. Now I am not getting sound (unless I run the OSS test), Looking in settings, I see I only now have a Dummy Output.02:25
HNICSuggestions on resolving that?02:25

NoruxHi I have an Acer Aspire ES 11 Notebook and installed Ubuntu 18.04 minimal installation on it. When I boot with secure boot mode off, I get "no bootable device found". I have to turn secure boot on and select the `grub64.efi` as trusted in order to successfully boot.10:29
vltHello. In "less", how can I jump downward N lines (like <N>j) but without scrolling?10:32
jeremy31Norux: you may need to set a BIOS password and use custom EFI file10:32
humpledthat works for me vlt10:33
Noruxvlt: for me too10:34
vlthumpled: But it scrolls, doesn't it?10:34
vltI'd like to *jump*.10:34
Noruxjeremy31: I set a bios password, and what do you mean by use custom EFI file?10:35
jeremy31Norux: I just know that some require you to set a custom EFI file or to trust and EFI file in BIOS before it will use it10:35
vlthumpled, Norux: Got it. It seems to be z (and y for backwards).10:36
jeremy31Norux: https://askubuntu.com/a/653202/30066510:37

mohnish01Is it just me, or, is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is really buggy?10:45

lotuspsychjemohnish01: what about your other system specs?10:49
mohnish01Core 2 Quad 2.67 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1 GB vram10:49
lotuspsychjemohnish01: i think you better choose a lightweight flavour of ubuntu, lubuntu/xubuntu10:50
lotuspsychje!flavours | mohnish0110:50
ubottumohnish01: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours10:50
mohnish01I am using xubuntu :)10:50
mohnish01I knew I had to pick a different flavor with specs like that10:51
Noruxjeremy31: Yeah I know that, but I was wondering if there is an option with secure boot disabled10:51
lotuspsychjemohnish01: you should mention that next time in your original question10:51
mohnish01Um, sorry10:51
lotuspsychjemohnish01: so, if xubuntu doesnt run well, you could try lubuntu perhaps? or lubuntu 16.0410:51
mohnish01Yeah, I might10:52

ericusTJ- you here?12:10
ericustomreyn?12:13
BluesKajericus, just ask your question12:13
ericusIn this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Full_Disk_Encryption_Howto_201912:14
ericusIf I already have a Windows installation is it still gonna be /dev/sda or /dev/sda5 (the left over space)?12:15
ericusUnder the pre-prepare encrypted partitions section12:15
ericusSo export DEV sda or sda5?12:16
Meufibericus: that guide assumes an empty drive12:19
ericusThats what I feared. But it also mentions dual boot12:19
Meufibericus: I dont know if it is possible to use luks to encrypt just a single parttition12:19
Meufibericus, i dont see any mention of dual booting in that guide12:20
ericusIt mentions installing alongside Windows12:21
Meufibericus: According to the first hits on Google it should be possible.12:23
tomreynericus: DEV is still the full disk, but read the paragraph following that, too, as well as the further notes later on regarding how to handle existing paritions.12:24
Meufibericus: Atleast it is not /dev/sda, this is the entire drive. ;)12:24
tomreynyes, it's possible to use block layer device encryption such as dmcrypt-luks to encrypt just a partition (or a LVM2 logical volume)12:25
MeufibSince this drive already is partitioned you can skip creating the gpt table.12:26
MeufibYou can go straight to the gparted section and create the new partitions12:26
baakohi guys, can i ask ubuntu desktop related question here?12:28
baakoi need a add a custom printer setting for one of my 3 printers12:28
ericusThe sgdisk part Meufib?12:28
tomreynbaako: sure, this is the ubuntu support channel, so if you have questions about your ubuntu installation it's a good place.12:29
Meufibericus: I would recommend using the graphical gparted tool12:30
baakoI have a ubuntu 18.04 desktop. I just got one of those printers which is used to printer those small shipping labels12:30
baakoi need to ask the setting for it12:30
mousesbaako: have you tried entered the model number of your printer and the word 'ubuntu' into a search engine?12:31
mousess/entered/entering12:31
ericusWhat about my existing EFI partition?12:32
tomreynkeep it12:33
Meufibericus: using gparted you can shrink the existing partition and create the two new ones. You can then skip ahead to the "LUKS encrypt" part12:33
ericusThe bios_boot, do I need that?12:34
ericusSo just a /boot and /?12:34
Meufibericus: Dont remove any of the existing partitions, just make some free space for the new partitions.12:34
ericusI got free space but not sure how to partition it12:34
Meufibericus: The existing partitions contain part of the uefi/bios and in most cases recovery images for your laptop.12:35
Meufibericus: let me rephrase, you need unpartitioned space.12:35
ericusI have 200GB unpartitioned12:35
SkyriderGreetings everyone12:36
tomreynericus: this posts your current partition layout to https://termbin.com, a website similar to https://paste.ubuntu.com, and returns a URL for easy copy and paste here:  sudo sgdisk --print /dev/sda 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 999912:36
ericusSo which new partitions should I create?12:36
Meufibericus: you should be able to "right click" the free space in the bar graph and get the option to create a new partition12:36
Meufibericus: Id recommend sticking with the manual, soa a '/' and '/boot/'12:36
ericusI'll go for boot and root then12:37
SkyriderI'm trying to set up keys to for login into specific users on the system. I created the files but whenever I attempt to login, I'm getting "No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)"RSA auth is set to yes in sshd config, so is pukey and auth key file location is set to a custom directory in /etc/ssh/keys/user12:37
geirhayou've added the public keys to ~/.ssh/authroized_keys?12:38
geirhaerr, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys12:39
SkyriderDoes the directory matter?12:39
SkyriderI assume as long the files are there, it should work.12:39
SkyriderThe /etc/ssh/keys/user directory contains 2 files. One without extension (private) and one with .pub (public).12:40
mgedminI think sshd wants /etc/ssh/keys/$user/authorized_keys12:41
tomreynSkyrider: you must have misunderstood part of the manual / how-to you've been following. the users' private keys, used to authenticate to the ssh server, are only created and stored on the connecting clients.12:41
mgedmin(I'm not entirely sure; I've never changed the default ssh key directory paths)12:41
tomreynSkyrider: only the users' public SSH keys are then copied to the SSH server and installed there in the location the SSH server will look for them when a matching user is attempting to authenticate.12:43
tomreynSkyrider: i.e. the private key you have stored in /etc/ssh/keys/$USER/ should definitely not be there.12:44
tomreynalso, i would recommend you go with the defaults initially, where you place, on the SSH server, users' SSH public keys (which they will later authenticate against) in their home directories, in the /home/$USER/.ssh/authorized_keys file (or in the users' respective ~/.ssh/authorized_keys - if you have decided not to store home directories in the default location, /home)12:47
SkyriderThing is.. User has no home.12:47
SkyriderIt's a customized user that has a specific www directory set, no home required.12:48
tomreynthen this specific www directory is their home12:48
SkyriderSo I can't use a custom key directory?12:48
tomreynwho owns the specific www directory?12:49
SkyriderThe name of the user? Also, I followed: https://www.ssh.com/ssh/key/#sec-How-to-configure-key-based-authentication12:50
tomreynyes you can use a custom authentication public key file location12:50
Skyrider"MOVING SSH KEYS TO A ROOT-OWNED LOCATION" in particular.12:50
ericusThe 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install to / target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.12:54
ericusSigh..12:54
SkyriderI copied over the public key to /etc/ssh/keys/esf-web/authorized_keys - using the following in sshd config: AuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys/%u/authorized_keys12:54
tomreynSkyrider: yes, this should work. it's not what i'd do the first time i set up (a concept already somewhat difficult to grasp for anyone not into it already) public key authentication in openssh. and i'd personally prefer to use documentation provided by the operating system (man sshd) or the software i'm using (openssh.org),12:55
SkyriderI still get the same error though.12:55
tomreynso time to revisit what i told you first12:56
EriC^^ericus: start the bootloader with "ubiquity -b" then chroot and manually install grub later12:56
SkyriderUsing home directory instead? :p12:58
tomreyn<tomreyn> Skyrider: you must have misunderstood part of the manual / how-to you've been following. the users' private keys, used to authenticate to the ssh server, are only created and stored on the connecting clients.12:59
ericusIt was my fault, I missed a thing12:59
tomreynSkyrider: you said "The /etc/ssh/keys/user directory contains 2 files. One without extension (private) and one with .pub (public)." - if this refers to the openssh *servers* directories then this is not how it should be. there should only be a public key, no provide key, in this directory.13:01
tomreyns/provide key/private key/13:01
tomreynsorry, still waking up.13:02
tomreynSkyrider: if it's still unclear what's wrong there then maybe you can link to the guide you followed to create the "2 files" in the "/etc/ssh/keys/user directory".13:03
SkyriderI created a tmp home directory just to create the pub/private key files13:04
SkyriderAfter that, moved them to another location.. not sure why it won't work.. it's just a file, and set the location in the sshd config file.13:04
tomreynon which system did you create "a tmp home directory just to create the pub/private key files"? on the server you want the ssh clients to authenticate against? then that was wrong.13:05
SkyriderThe main system where it should login as well. Why would it be wrong exactly? Is there anything that indicates it's directory specific?13:07
tomreynthe authenticating users' secrets should always be created on a system exclusively controlled by the authenticating client (or, in the absence of such, the same system they will use to connect from).13:09
zmagiihey guys13:09
Skyriderhi13:10
tomreynSkyrider: the server does not need to, and never should, get to see the users' private ssh key.13:10
zmagiiis there a known issue on ubuntu with xauth/xserver/xhost? I can't run for example gedit from the terminal; i get an error "Gtk-WARNING cannot open display"13:11
zmagiiexport DISPLAY=:0 doesn't help13:11
SkyriderI get that ^^, so why wouldn't a custom directory set in sshd config work where the public key is located?13:11
SkyriderThe key is generated on the same system.13:11
tomreynSkyrider: a custom directory set in sshd config work where the public key is located?13:12
tomreynthats fine13:12
zmagiithis is via ssh13:12
zmagii"xhost +" also does not help13:12
tomreynSkyrider: but storing the connecting clients' ssh private key on the server only is not going to work. and it should not be stored on the serve rin the first place.13:12
SkyriderAuthorizedKeysFile /etc/ssh/keys/%u/authorized_keys - public file is located over there, yet I receive the same  No supported authentication methods available (server sent: publickey) error though.13:13
tomreynSkyrider: because the ssh client will need to have access to its private key to be able to authenticate to the server13:13
SkyriderIn this case, filezilla. Which converted the private key to *.ppk13:13
SkyriderLet me attempt to use the same private key on ssh, 1 sec.13:14
palo-altoAwesome!13:14
zmagiioh, so it works if i run "xhost +" and then reboot13:15

zmagiiright sorry13:20
tomreynSkyrider: so this private key file filezilla (on the ssh client, i assume) and now putty (also on the ssh client, i assume) has available: how did it get there in the first place?13:20
SkyriderThe SSH public key works now on putty. Was able to login :)13:21

tomreynSkyrider: next time you setup something like this, i very much recommend you first set it up between two linux systems, using default configurations. and only when you have this working, extrapolate to the windows client and to non-default server configurations. this (a) ensures you memorize important methodologies affecting secure operation properly (i am not convinced you achieved this in this case, yet) and (b) makes for a much simpler test13:27
tomreyncase you can build on.13:27
Skyridertomreyn: Currently reading through the converting part. As for 2 systems, I only have 1.13:34
tomreynSkyrider: you seem to have at least a windows system you're using as the ssh guest, and an ubuntu system running opensshd.13:35
SkyriderMh, don't think Kitty can convert.13:35
tomreynyou could run an additional virtual (or containerized) ubuntu guest on the windows system.13:36
tomreyncats are not generally good at converting, most of the time they remain cats for their entire lifespan.13:37
Skyrider*shrugs*, I've converted it using puttygen. Even then same error.13:41
SkyriderIs it because I used "ed25519"?13:41
* tomreyn shrugs13:42
tomreynnot an ubuntu support issue13:42
SkyriderWhat isn't exactly? :p13:44
ericusI'm now getting dropped to a grub bash shell upon boot..13:45
ericusThis is starting to become annoying13:46
humpledsigh13:46
EoflaOEericus: Minimal bash like message or something?13:46
ericusGNU GRUB version 2.0213:47
ericusMinimal BASH-like line editing is supported bla bla13:47
EoflaOEericus: OK. What happens when you press ESC? Does it give a menu with an option to boot to Ubuntu?13:48
ericusNothing happens, it prints a new line13:49
EoflaOEericus: Got this. What did you do to the boot manager last time you have successfully booted to Ubuntu?13:50
humpled<ericus> The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install to / target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.13:50
ericushumpled I fixed that13:50
ericusMissed this the first try13:51
ericusecho "GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y" >> /target/etc/default/grub13:51
ericusSo yeah, not that..13:51
EoflaOEericus: Can you pastebin the output of /etc/default/grub of your affected installation?13:57
CrazySamdoes ubuntu 19.04 support mst?14:02
CrazySammulti stream transport?14:02
tomreyncan you point us to the RFC for that?14:03
Habbieit's for displays14:05
Habbienot for networks14:05
CrazySamyeah mst is for displayport14:06
CrazySamso i found the culprit for my graphics issue yesterday: i have 2 monitors daisy chained and ubuntu 19.04 doesn't like that14:06
CrazySamcurrently stuck at boot with ubuntu logo and 5 dots animating on the main monitor14:07
CrazySamatm not even ctrl+alt+del helps, i will have to pull the plug on it14:08
EoflaOECrazySam: Can you boot it again without quiet and splash?14:08
=== MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates
CrazySami could try that, yes14:10
CrazySamlet me just add that i tested a few minutes ago to unplug the slave monitor and just leave 1 monitor plugged in14:10
CrazySamthat way i was able to boot normally without freezing, and also, i noticed the behavior of the splash screen and initial mouse pointer position was different14:11
tomreyninitial support for displayport multii-stream support has been in Linux 3.16. i am not sure what the current state is.14:11
tomreynthat's for i91514:12
tomreynamdgpu should have seen initial support in 4.114:14
CrazySami would get a low-res "ubuntu 19.04" in the middle of the monitor, then it would jump up to the upper left corner with animating 4 dots (not 5), and then a black screen with purple 1 inch thick horizontal line would appear at the bottom, and the mouse cursor appears in the lower right corner14:14
CrazySamright after that the login screen appears and i can sign in normally14:14
CrazySamso that's 1 monitor only connected14:14
CrazySamif i reboot and quickly plug in monitor 2 which chained to the first one, and i do that before the boot process begins, i can effectively make it freeze14:15
CrazySamthis way i get very crisp high-res ubuntu logo in the middle of the main monitor with 5 animating dots (not 4 and not in the upper left corner). and that's all i get....14:16
CrazySamanyone seen anything like this? where daisy chaining monitors to a ubuntu host breaks the boot process and screws with the splash screen and cursor position?14:17
tomreynCrazySam: please make sure you point uot any non-common configurations (both software and hardware) when asking for support here in the future. this can save you and (especially) those volunteers trying to support you here a lot of time.14:18
uRockI'm guessing you're using a disk drive, as SSDs boot so fast I am lucky to even see a logo during startup. It flashes for a second, then I'm at the login screen.14:18
tomreyns/uot/out/14:18
CrazySamok, well if hdd counts as non-common then yes, i have one here14:19
CrazySamwd black caviar 1 tb14:19
CrazySamthat's the only disk in the system14:19
k00l3th4nWhen did Ubuntu Gnome get tray icons back?14:19
CrazySamubuntu 19.04 installed cleanly from usb, disk is wiped, so no windows left14:20
uRockk00l3th4n, I've never noticed that there wasn't tray icons.14:21
mgedmink00l3th4n: back when ubuntu decided to switch from unity to gnome as the default session, IIRC?14:21
CrazySamdoes anyone here use daisy chained monitors with ubuntu? just wondering as to why this is a problem for my system14:22
k00l3th4nuRock, Yeah, Gnome did away with tray icons in 3.26 and users were forced to use extension (Topicons Plus) to get them back.14:22
tomreynCrazySam: So what i tried to point out above is that DP MST support is subject to driver support (and possibly hardware, too). So it would certainly help to state which graphics hardware and drivers you are using to determine whether it can be supported on your system.14:22
CrazySamok, well i looked at that yesterday, and i recall seeing "radeon" as driver. the command i used didn't say much more than that.14:23
CrazySamgpu is radeon indeed14:23
k00l3th4nmgedmin, I don't understand what you mean...14:24
CrazySamhd 685014:24
CrazySamthe "radeon" driver is open sourced right?14:24
tomreynIt is.14:25
CrazySami have a done a complete reinstall of the system and made sure not to install any prop software14:25
CrazySamthe chip is called "barts" i think in the ubuntu about system page14:25
CrazySamcpu is q965014:26
CrazySam8 gb of ram, corsair14:26
CrazySam800 mhz i think14:26
EoflaOECrazySam: What message did it stuck on when you reboot with no quiet and no splash after plugging in the monitor?14:26
CrazySamright! it's been sitting here waiting, so i will go shut it down and reboot and see what happens14:28
tomreynCrazySam: So you're saying that AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6850 (BARTS generation) is the graphics hardware which manages the DP connector your screens are connected to, and that the kernel module managing it is "radeon". Can you confirm this?14:29
CarlFKwhere can I see support status of like 14.04?14:31
CarlFKI need a url I can site14:31
tomreyn!14.04 | CarlFK14:31
ubottuCarlFK: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu. !End-of-life was April 25th, 2019. Paid support (ESM) is available. See also !esm, !eol, !eolupgrade14:31

fradim looking for an organizer, like korganizer, but with times listed as 24 hour cycles, not AM and PM14:32
CrazySamtomreyn, that's what i have gathered so far, yes, and right this moment i have shut it down and without the second monitor connected and rebooted but it still hangs at boot because it's left in a bad state from last time14:32
CarlFKdax: bingo14:32
CrazySamtomreyn, i.e. it still thinks the second monitor is connected14:33
CrazySamtab tab tab for grub menu right? i can't seem to get to it14:33
uRockfrad, Google Calendar can be configured that way.14:33
fraduRock, any other options?14:34
CrazySami can see messages about "a start job is running for "Hold" until boot process finishes up"14:35
CrazySam2 lines14:35
uRockIDK, I don't use any desktop apps. My life is too simple for needing anything like that.14:35
tomreynCrazySam: if you're (legacy) bios / CRM booting, hold down shift after POST. if you're UEFI booting hit escape repeatedly after POST.14:36
tomreynCrazySam: this was about how to access the grub menu14:36
CrazySamok14:36
tomreyn!recovery | CrazySam14:36
ubottuCrazySam: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode14:36
tomreynCrazySam: Do you have additional graphics chipsets installed? Can you confirm that you're running Ubuntu 19.04 with the standard/unchanged login manager (gdm3) and graphical desktop (gnome-shell)?14:37
CrazySamctrl+alt+del worked this time without having to cut power, rebooted, tried shift, didn't work, i am left with a flashing underscore and a black screen14:38
GusjHello there, I am new to linux, used it many years ago and now trying to come back to it.. I installed Ubuntustudio on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. The laptop keyboard and trackpad do not work, I am using a USB mouse that does work, but a USB keyboard only works sometimes, sometimes it recognizes it sometimes no.I have uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-all, I have turned off autosuspend it is -1 now..  when it is booting I can see: " i8042: can’t reactiv14:39
Gusjate aux port" the USB KYBRD I coudl see showed up in the app 'Mouse and Trackpad' sometimes, it would disconnect by itself can somebody please help me?14:39
CrazySamtomreyn, no gpu other than radeon hd685014:39

=== zenguy is now known as grimguy
CrazySamat the desktop...14:43
CrazySamlet me give it a reboot for good measure to see if it works now14:44
natetomreyn: If I completely 'format' a drive from a live boot, there should be 0 remnants of a previous install or EFI correct?  Cause I spent most of last night dealing with it failing when apparently trying to do grub-install dummy, and an attempt to manually tinker with it results in `failed to register the EFI boot entry: No such file or directory.`14:45
CrazySamoh i see what the flashing underscore was about... that's where it writes out /dev/sda1: clean, 43897548932753 blocks, bla bla14:45
CrazySamso it was stuck at that previously14:45
nateAnd even after a fresh install it complains about "seeing a previous install that was set into a non-UEFI mode" right before trying to partition things14:45
CrazySamubuntu logo with not 4 but 5 animating dots... not looking good at this point...14:46
CrazySamok it' stuck again...14:47
CrazySamhow do i fix it? remove quite and splash from grub menu? you got to be kidding? ok...14:48
AlexPortableHow can I fix internet on Ubuntu? Sometimes it doesn't work, a ping yields in 'destination host unreachable'14:48
baneAnyone else here absolutely hate netplan and it's bullsh!t yaml syntax?14:50
baneEspecially when you're trying to bond & lacp multiple interfaces14:50
CrazySamnow i have 4 dots and they are not animating with ubuntu logo in the upper left corner... looking good now...14:51
CrazySamwhat the hell is the matter with 4 vs. 5 dots and 2 different ubuntu logos? and why does it sometimes appear in the upper left corner of the monitor? and why is it not animating when it does so?14:52
CrazySami am at the login screen now so it worked14:52
CrazySamwhenever the f-ed up logo appears with 4 dots i can get to the login screen, when the pretty one with 5 dots appears i can't get anywhere14:53
CrazySamsigned in and at the desktop now... thank you 4 dot ubuntu logo!14:53
CrazySamwhat does this mean?14:54
uRocklmao14:54
CrazySamhttps://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/muo-linux-plymouth-splash-default.png14:55
CrazySamthis is the pretty logo with 5 dots14:55
CrazySamthis one is always pretty (high res) and in the middle of the monitor, and won't let me get past it so i can sign in and use the system14:56
CrazySamit's also animating the dots14:57
CrazySamand here is the ugly 4 dot logo: https://i.stack.imgur.com/x8kw7.png14:57
CrazySamsee what i mean?14:58
CrazySamthese are sample images from the internet14:58
CrazySamon both of mine i see "ubuntu 19.04"14:58
uRockDoes 18.04 have the same issues?14:59
tomreynnate: depends on how you "format". if you actually zero the first 1 MB of the storage and create new partitions at different boundaries than previously then this would behave the same as a blank disk.14:59
CrazySami don't recall having this issue ever with 18.04 but i didn't have the pc hooked up to these 2 monitors before14:59
CrazySamwhat does it mean though for ubuntu to have more than one splash screen? what's the point?15:00
tomreynnate: note that efivars will remain, though. but this should not normally get int the way.15:00
tomreyn!enter | CrazySam15:00
ubottuCrazySam: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone.15:00
natetomreyn: I think unfortunately that it is, it's the only thing I can think of that might be making it 'view' a previous OS, one set in legacy mode instead of UEFI at that15:01
nateI guess I'll just have to go console and manually make sure it's all cleared out of the drive15:01
tomreynnate: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M    should overwrite the first 1MB of disk sdX. make sure not to pick the wrong target device (as indicated by "sdX" here).15:04
tomreyni would not be surprised if there are graphical utilities to achieve similar, but i am not aware of those, prefer a terminal for such changes.15:05
jfcaronIs there a viewer for 3D .stl files (like for 3D printing) in the repositories?15:06
CrazySamtomreyn, i have gnome shell 3.32.015:07
jfcaronJust a *viewer*15:07
CrazySamtomreyn, as for login manager, i assume it is the same as whatever shipped with ubuntu 19.0415:07

EoflaOEjfcaron: This can be moved to #ubuntu-discuss.15:08
CrazySamwill someone please offer an explanation as to why ubuntu has 2 different splash screens?15:09
CrazySamin the same release15:09
mgedmintomreyn: nate: without count=1 that dd command will zero the entire disk in 1 meg increments15:13
mgedminCrazySam: there's a GUI one, and a fallback text-only one in case the graphics could not be initialized for some reason15:13
EoflaOEjfcaron: I mean #ubuntu-offtopic15:14
tomreyn!info gmsh | jfcaron15:15
ubottujfcaron: gmsh (source: gmsh): Three-dimensional finite element mesh generator. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.6+dfsg1-1 (bionic), package size 157 kB, installed size 204 kB15:15
CrazySammgedmin, sounds about right what's happening here. thanks15:15
CrazySami my gnome shell is 3.32.0, what gdm version should i be on? and how do i find the version of gdm?15:16
CrazySamassuming they are not one and the same15:17
jfcarontomreyn, Thanks I will look at tha.15:19
tomreynnate: mgedmin is right, apologies15:19
tomreynjfcaron: it's more than a viewer, but it should work for vieweing from what i read. and it's in the repositories.15:20
tomreynAlexPortable: is the "destination host unreachable" issue intermittent or constant?15:25
natetomreyn: Yeah thankfully I know enough about dd to remember that lol, though at least the drive definitely would be clean clean, just would take a while :P15:25
tomreynnate: yes, and luckily you meant to 'clean' this storage anyways.15:26
nateyeah15:26
tomreyn(but this oversight (on my part) could have caused data loss results otherwise.)15:27
tomreynAlexPortable: if it's just intermittent then this is usually not an issue you can solve on your ubuntu system, but something about the router / internet connection.15:27
tomreynCrazySam: the text logo screen is a fallback in case graphical output is not available at the time for some reason.15:28

CrazySamtomreyn, gdm is 3.32.0 as well, fwiw15:33
ioriamgedmin, check your /etc/default/grub15:35
CrazySami will have to try 18.04 on this px just to see what happens15:36
mgedminioria: https://dpaste.de/ovh4 looks right to me at first glance15:36
CrazySambut at least for now it seems to be working, it stood the test of 3 subsequent reboots15:36
ioriamgedmin, sorry, you're using 'quiet splash'15:40
AlexPortabletomreyn: when the issue occurs, it's constant, until a reboot of the system. Other hosts on the same network are not affected15:41
ioriamgedmin, if you want the boot log you need the 'text' mode or remove quiet splash15:41
mgedminno, I want the nice splash screen15:42
mgedmininstead of a black screen15:42
ioriamgedmin, oh, i see; using nividia ?15:43
ioria*nvidia15:43
mgedminintel video15:45
tomreynAlexPortable: hmm, when it happens, can you still use the internet at all on this ubuntu system (reach some sites but not others)?15:45
AlexPortableno15:45
AlexPortablei cannot ping any hosts15:45
mgedminbut it's a server, the text-only logo would be more appropriate15:45
tomreynAlexPortable: can you still ping ip addresses then?15:46
AlexPortableno15:46
tomreynAlexPortable: check dmesg|tail for hints on what is going wrong when it's happening.15:46
mgedminplymouth and plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text are both installed15:46
tomreynAlexPortable: or better: run    journalctl -f    now and keep it running, and look at its output when it happens15:47
AlexPortableI already did that once, not much came out15:48
AlexPortablebut ill try again15:48
AlexPortableany other commands I can try?15:48
mgedmin... is it plymouth that provides the boot splash in ubuntu 18.04?15:52
EoflaOEmgedmin: Do you have plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo installed?15:53
mgedminno, only plymouth and plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text15:54
EoflaOEmgedmin: So you want the nice Ubuntu logo with 5 dots, right? Or just text?15:55
mgedminjust text please15:59
tomreynAlexPortable: run    nmcli    to identify the connection profile UUID, then run     nmcli c s UUID > ~/nm1.txt    now and     nmcli c s UUID > ~/nm2.txt    when it happens again. and then you can compare the two files using     diff -u ~/.nm{1,2}.txt16:01
tomreynAlexPortable: also run    ethtool --statistics NETDEVICE     with "NETDEVICE" replaced by the DEVICE given in the "nmcli" output for your connection profile.16:03
AlexPortablethe last command, when it works or when it doesnt work?16:03
tomreynshould always work, but it's best run after it fails.16:04
tomreynyou may need to install the package of the same name16:04
EoflaOEmgedmin: Write "cd /usr/share/plymouth/themes". What does "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" say? Is the text theme default?16:05
mgedmin/etc/alternatives/default.plymouth doesn't exist, text.plymouth is a symlink to the text theme16:05
mgedminupdate-alternatives says "update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for default.plymouth"16:06
mgedminmaybe I need to add 'nomodeset' to the kernel command line to tell plymouth to fall back to the text theme or something?16:06
EoflaOEmgedmin: Does the solution help? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1046370/how-to-change-boot-splash-screen-in-18-0416:08
mgedminI figure there's a reason why ubuntu-text.plymouth is not a possible alternative for default.plymouth16:16

banehmmm having issues getting my two interfaces to bond using netplan, so i removed it, disabled the services and installed ifupdown & ifenslave16:59
banestill having a difficult time getting anything to work. but i've heard that if you remove netplan, dns servers are then defined in /etc/resolv.conf rather than the config filein /etc/network/interfaces17:00
banealso, i've heard that if you create a 'bond0' by default you can't use lacp, so i'd have to create a bond interface with a different name... apparently this is only for ubuntu 1804? Not sure if there is anything truth to that17:01
tomreynbane: netplan is only used on ubuntu server by default (and so are LACP bonding configurations, i guess): /join #ubuntu-server17:15
baneohhhhh duhhhh17:17
banethanks <317:17
mekhamihey, i'm on ubuntu 18, for some reason my ethernet just stopped working and i'm wondering what i can do to figure out why? like i rebooted and now i have no IP according to i3 status anyway17:18
tomreyn!yy.mm | mekhami17:18
ubottumekhami: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle17:18
mekhami18.0417:18
tomreyndo you use network manager for managing network access?17:19
mekhaminot that i know of17:19
mekhamiit's just been plug and play since i've had this machine...17:20
tomreyndoes "nmcli" suggest that it is in use, though?17:20
mekhamiit shows eno1: disconnected17:21
mekhamithat's my ethernet connection17:21
mekhamiit says 1 connection available17:21
tomreynso you usually connect via ethernet?17:22
mekhamialways17:22
tomreyndoes  "nmcli d" say that all ethernet devices are in state "connected"?17:23
mekhamiit shows eno1 as "connecting (getting IP configuration)"17:23
tomreynwhat's the "CONNECTION" for DEVICE 'eno1'?17:24
tomreynmekhami: ^ see above, and once you know, also see if you can run "nm-connection-editor"17:25
mekhamithe connection is "Wired connection 1"17:26
mekhamiand yeah i've got that open now17:26
tomreynmekhami: in nm-connection-editor, double-click on "Wired connection 1" to edit this connection, review all the settings, then close it and delete it. then create a new ethernet connection using the + character bottom left, replacing the previous connection profile.17:28
mekhamiokay, did that17:29
tomreynare still offline, though?17:30
mekhamistill nada, maybe this is in the router then?17:30
mekhamiyeah, still offline17:30
tomreyncould be, yes17:30
tomreynif the dhcp server the router provides is not responding and your ubuntu is configured for receiving its networking configuration this way, this could be why,17:31
tomreyn(that's the default configuration)17:31
mekhamihmm this is google fiber so they don't have a conventional router config.. :/17:32
tomreynmaybe try rebooting the router, though17:32
mekhamiokay gonna disconnect then ,back in a bit. thanks for your help.17:32
tomreynyou're welcome.17:33
mekhami2tomreyn: as usual, turning it off and on again....17:37
tomreynmekhami2: so rebooting the router fixed it?17:38
mekhami2yeah17:39
mekhami2the thing i should be trying first... well at least i learned about nmcli17:39
tomreynokay, good. i had a similar situation (also on 18.04.3) yesterday, which puzzled me much, and i can't claim to really understand what happened. i also restarted my router by i tried several things in parallel so i can't relly say what fixed it.17:41

Emcypulseaudio knows about what applications are making sound, can it pipe sound from apps to different audio devices?17:51
pragmaticenigmaEmcy: Are you asking if PulseAudio has the capability of selecting different sources of sound (be it application or device) and selective send the audio stream to another device dependent on the source?18:08
Emcyyes18:09

rishavI have freshly installed Ubuntu 18.04.03.. While working in it, sometimes a symbol pops up. The symbol is like a circle and inside the circle there is line at around 60 degree18:58
rishavDoes anyone know what is the symbol about?18:58
tomreynrishav: sounds like a "disallowed" icon. but it's difficult to tell without more context. can you show a screenshot?19:03
rishavtomreyn, okay I will send url if I can get the screenshot19:04
tomreynlike this? 🚫19:04
rishavtomreyn, yes exactly19:04
tomreynokay, please show it in context.19:05
tomreynin the meantime: rishav: were there any error messages during the installation?19:05
rishavtomreyn, I am not getting the symbol now though. but I am clueless about it. No I didn't get any error msg while installing19:06
tomreynwhen you run this in a terminal, are there any error messages?   sudo apt update19:06
ncuxoHello everybody I need some help with cronjob19:07
rishavtomreyn, yes I think there are some error messages, but I overlooked everytime19:07
ncuxoI can't set up my root cronjob I get an error everytime stating that my time specifier is bad19:08
ncuxoI've checked everything a couple of times with crontab guru19:08
tomreynrishav: you can copy and paste this to a terminal. it should return just a http address which you can paste here:    sudo /bin/true && cat &>/tmp/aptlog < <(sudo apt-get -qqy update 2>&1; apt-cache policy 2>&1; sudo apt-get -syV full-upgrade 2>&1;); nc termbin.com 9999 </tmp/aptlog19:09
tomreynncuxo: post your cronjob to the pastebin and the pastebin url here19:10
rishavhttps://termbin.com/3sxx19:12
rishavtomreyn, here is the url19:12
ncuxotomreyn: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/7bDQHsmnMb/ the pastebin as requested :/19:13
ncuxoI've tried also 0 0/6 * * * and it doesn't work19:13
tomreynrishav: so there's no issue with updates, it must be something else.19:13
tomreynncuxo: which file did you configur it in?19:14
tomreyn(or using which command)19:14
ncuxosudo crontab -e19:14
rishavtomreyn, I also saw the updates are okay. Now the symbol is not appearing anymore though.. tomreyn19:14
tomreynncuxo: so in root's crontab. root'home directory is /root. from there, there is most likely no path ./home/ncuxo/bash.sh19:15
tomreyn* root's home directory is /root19:16
ncuxoohh19:16
tomreynrishav: maybe it was just temporary then.19:16
ncuxoI thought it's /19:16
rishavtomreyn, I hope so..19:16
tomreynncuxo: does this script actually need to run as root?19:17
ncuxoits apt-get update && upgrade bash script19:17
tomreynncuxo: is there a reason you run it like this?19:17
tomreynthere's the "unattended-upgrades" package which can do similar.19:18
ncuxoI'm testing some stuff on my desktop before I move it on my homelab server19:18
ncuxoI've noticed a couple of places referring to it but I don't feel like installing it if I can get it to work with cron19:19
TheWildhello19:19
TheWildTheWild: I got a movie on s**t-balanced DVD. I think you know what it means.19:20
TheWildHow to enforce 1x read speed?19:20
TheWildI tried with "eject -x 1| and "hdparm -E 1 /dev/cdrom", but neither worked19:20
ncuxoon my user I can do "echo 'password' | sudo -S apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y" but I wanted to get it to work on my root user19:20
natetomreyn: So I ended up just working around all the dramatics by installing it under a classic non-GPT partition with an MBR lol19:23
tomreynncuxo: normally, it'd be safer to have root only run scripts which other users cannot modify. the way it is done now you're having root run scripts which can probably also be modified by user "ncuxo". it'd be better to cheown root:root the script and place it in /root. but this is more a general remark - i understand you're only using this temporarily as it is now.19:23
ncuxotomreyn:  I've already changed the file to be root@root and gave it 700 permissions19:24
tomreynnate: glad you got it installed in the end. if you'd like this to be easier in the future, you could get a second storage.19:25
ncuxonow it start working with no changes19:27
ncuxoI hate it when I can not find my error19:27
tomreynTheWild: i read that "for many drives, [4] is the lowest speed supported" at https://michal.kosmulski.org/computing/tips/cd-rom-speed.html19:29
TheWildtried 4 as well and didn't work either, And this is the only drive.19:30
TheWild(okay, now surprisingly works quietly without setting anything up)19:30
aroonianyone got bluetooth working on ubuntu 18.04?19:35
arooniconnection to bluez failed; bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue...19:35
natetomreyn: Odd thing is I'm not sure that would work any better, since I did a complete wipe to this drive and it still acted like there was some sort of EFI existence lol19:38
tomreynnate: if you were hoping for a comment on this, i'm afraid i cannot, for lack of details.19:40
rishavarooni, yes the bluetooth is working. I just now connected my phone's bluetooth..19:47
aroonii see an error ' no adapters found'19:53
natetomreyn: As in I even did the initial-bytes wipe we talked about earlier but running the launcher again it was still "identifying" a pre-existing install and asked me if I wanted to install forced UEFI or not, so this time I chose not, and everything went fine.  I'm just gonna blame HP :P19:57
tomreynnate: the "launcher"? do you mean the 19.04 desktop installer?19:59
tomreynmaybe you still had a efi system partition on a different storage which it analyzed there. i don't know how exactly the installer identifies existing installations (maybe using os-prober, which is not failsafe).20:02
nikolamMy Skype on 19.04 worked yesterday with analogue headset and now it does not see andy audio device in Skype audio and video settings.20:09

naribiaHi all, I'm running 18.04 on my desktop computer, I'm not sure if it was an update or what but it is running painfully slow, and "top" does not show anything using max resources, can anyone help?20:24
naribiaI should add that this happene all of a sudden, it was running smooth for a long time before this20:24
tomreynnaribia: run    journalctl -kf    in a terminal and keep it running for a minute (ctrl-c to stop) while you browse some directories on your file browser. does it output any errors?20:26
natetomreyn: 18 LTS.  The only other storage was just the USB installer, the error was only popping up w/ the /dev/sda device when trying to partition it, so it's probably some goofiness in the system itself20:27
tomreynoh that's during manual partitioning where it pops up? i see.20:28
tomreyni'm indeed not sure why it would do this with the old partition table previously destroyed20:29

Sven_vBwhere's the config of onboard (the on screen keyboard) stored?21:57
Sven_vBmy search engine unfortunately thinks I mean mainboards.21:58
sarnolddoes it have a manpage that says?21:59
Sven_vBoh good idea, I'll check22:00
sarnoldyou could also try running fatrace before starting it, and see what files it opens at startup22:00
Sven_vBgood idea, too. manpage worked, it shows me I can configure everything I want via CLI, so I don't need to know about the config store anymore. :)22:01
sarnoldSven_vB: haha :) even better :)22:03
Sven_vByeah. thanks! :)22:03
naribiai have logged out/in and lost the person who suggested it, but I tried  "journalctl -kf" when browsing through folders, no errors22:11
naribiathis is regarding my suddenly very slow ubuntu 18.04 computer22:11
naribiaI do get errors when opening firefox, however22:11

naribiaah, thanks22:12
Sven_vBis there a way to exclude certain wifi adapters from NetworkManagers interference with rfkill?22:14

revolutionaryHey!22:22
revolutionaryMy timezone is Moscow but on the other hand i downloaded and installed English Firefox and also my OS's language is English but Firefox is showing Russian results in Google, Yahoo and other websites. How can i fix this?22:23
tomreynnaribia: can you post    journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 999922:23
cocofhow I can see a content of a repository such as ppa:ondrej/php22:23
sarnoldrevolutionary: quite often websites will serve language-specific results based on ip geo databases22:23
nateAh this laptop is gonna be an aneurysm.  Now damned airplane mode is stuck on cause apparently, surprise surprise there are issues with HP laptops and ubuntu/debian lol22:24
sarnoldrevolutionary: sometimes you can encourage the right behaviour by configuring the browser's Accept languages headers..22:24
revolutionaryHow can i prevent Russian results?22:24
revolutionarythanks sarnold22:24
sarnoldrevolutionary: check out the firefox preferences "Choose your preferred language for displaying pages22:25
revolutionarylet me check sarnold22:25
sarnoldsetting.. it's just a hint from the browser to the server, and way too often website operators are idiots22:25
cocofor lörn rüssian :D22:25
OerHekscocof, look at the launchpad page? https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php22:25
jeremy31nate post URL for this command in terminal>  cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state | nc termbin.com 999922:25
tomreynrevolutionary: 4th paragraph on about:preferences#general22:26
revolutionarysarnold i checked and just English. There is no Russian option selected. :thinking:22:26
OerHekscocof, if you have a desktop on that machine, synaptic can filter that source easily22:26
sarnoldrevolutionary: sometimes folks use VPNs and select exit points in the countries they'd like to use.. eg pick an american or canadian or british exit point to get english22:27
sarnoldrevolutionary: but that entire industry creeps me out.22:27
tomreynrevolutionary: google picks your locale by ip address, but there should be options to override it on the website. to have google display a localization neutral frontend, access google.com/ncr (no country resolver)22:27
cocofOerHeks: its a server, how I can see which ip aptitude request to access this repository?22:28
sarnoldCOOL22:28
OerHeksgrep ^Package: /var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_*_Packages22:28
OerHekssomething like that?22:28
natejeremy31: Unfortunately the laptop is not on IRC at the moment so pasting the URL cross-system is a bit difficult, that said all 3 entries (Networking, Wireless and WWAN) flags are set true.  Hard-wired networking is okay, bluetooth seems to be missing (looks to be a driver issue) and wifi is locked in airplane mode.  Googled results say to check BIOS, but BIOS has no options for this22:28
revolutionaryi don't use google services and i am not logged in. i am trying to an option for override this but no luck.22:28
nateanother said to do some key trickery to enable the airplane key on the keyboard but that didn't do anything either, still googling around using any debian/ubuntu reference I can find22:29
jeremy31nate anything blocked in this command> rfkill list22:29
natejeremy31: Nup, unfortunately using rfkill to try and force it doesn't do anything either :/22:29
OerHekscocof, which ip aptitude request to access this repository .. that is an other question,  find ip of launchpad22:30
nateOh wait sorry misread, yeah it says hard blocked22:30
nateWhich matches the GUI interface telling me that it's "hardware enabled"22:30
jeremy31nate, is there a wifi switch?22:30
nateThere's a key on the laptop (the F12 action key) but it doesn't trip anything, even after adding some extra service handling that was supposed to be a fix for it22:31
nateAll other action keys work however so it doesn't seem to be an issue explicitly with action keys22:31
donofriois anyone working on a lubuntu for ppc (even if just a small group) would like to get 18.04 if possable even though not quite needed yet would be nice22:31
jeremy31nate, what interface is the block on?  Is it after phy0 or hp-wifi?22:31
natephy0, there is no hp-wifi, phy0 is the only wifi adapter listed.22:32
revolutionaryhey. i give up for Firefox. When i try to view date from the right on the address bar it is showing date and days on Russian but system language is English. Just timezone is Moscow. Is there any option to not leak timezone? Or how can i view date/time on English?22:33
cocofty22:34
jeremy31nate, I would reboot it and go into BIOS settings and see if resetting to defaults will reset that22:35
natejeremy31: Been there and done that, but the BIOS for this laptop literally doesn't even have options for any sort of networking control.  It might be worth of note, I had to install and currently run this with ACPI set to off, could that impact the network read?22:38
nateThough I would feel like that would cause it to hard-lock it to off, not on22:38
jeremy31nate, it doesn't need to have any networking settings in the BIOS, the ACPI might have something to do with it.  Do you know what wifi device is there?22:40
nateLet me see if I can pull it up from spec sheets22:41
jeremy31nate, check in terminal>  lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net22:44
Gallomimiawow, my system magically and suddenly and unexplainedly boots from its encrypted boot volume. that's great!22:45
nateYeah just pulled that, just gotta type it out lol; Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev c3)22:45
nateInterestingly it appears to be a dual wifi and bluetooth adapter, so it's odd that the bluetooth isn't showing present at all as I'd expect the drivers to be enabling both22:45
Gallomimiabut it still hangs. it shows a list of tasks started and stopped, and near the end it says "hold until boot process is completed" it stays on that screen until i flip to a different tty and back. how can i get it to stop doing that?22:46
jeremy31nate I think the bluetooth will have and 8087 ID in lsusb22:46
tomreynrevolutionary: check the output of the "locale" command, running as the same system user firefox runs as22:46
cocofwhen I execute add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php it says press enter and after I do it, nothing happen22:46
cocofError: retrieving gpg key timed out.22:46
cocofI did added launch pad IPs, going to recheck22:47
nateYeah I just meant the devicename (I grep'd lspci -k for 'wireless'), devicename shows up as Intel Wireless AC 7260 802.11 ac 2x2 Wifi + BT 4.0 combo adapter22:47
cocofOerHeks: it seems it want to connect to yet another IP to get gpg key?22:48
jeremy31nate that info comes from a user contributed database, that info can be wrong22:48
tomreyncocof: it may receive GPG keys from keyserver.ubuntu.com22:49
natejeremy31: Ah, well for a laptop I wouldn't put it past it, though there seems to be a lot showing up now when I search 7260 Intel w/ Ubuntu/Debian22:49
Bashing-omcocof: ? Did you "sudo" ? in order to alter the system files.22:49
natejeremy31: I apparently just came across a forum post from you years ago relating to this same chipset on a dell lol, gonna try your suggestions in there22:50
jeremy31nate, there are a lot of variations of the 7260 Intel wifi card, not all have bluetooth.  The one I had with bluetooth had device ID 8087:07dc in lsusb results22:50
cocofsubdomain ppa.launchpad is on diff ip 91.189.95.83 :)22:51
nateAh unfortunately the recommendation in there was to blacklist one of the wifi adapters, of which I only have one to begin with... hrm22:52
nate(or well one of the wifi drivers)22:52
OerHekscocof, that switch would be keyserver?22:53
jeremy31nate what model HP?22:54
tomreynOerHeks: turns out the apt-add-repository --keyserver option is legacy, unused (according to python source in 18.04)23:01
tomreyncocof: ^23:01
tomreynor just --help :)23:03

tomreynnaribia: oh, i drop those by default23:16
naribiaoh I see23:16

naribiatomreyn: alright cool, thanks for the help23:20
naribiatomreyn: it's looking like the issue might just be with firefox23:27
tomreynnaribia: unfortunately not, you seem to have a broken disk there23:32
tomreynfirst line in your log: Sep 26 15:53:12 nixa kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x900382 SErr 0x0 action 0x023:33
tomreynthis is /dev/sdb23:33
tomreynthis disk was trying to reallocate data away from those broken sectors, but this failed, suggesting that it has already spent all of its spare sectors for this purpose in the past.23:35
tomreynnaribia: and (unrelated) you're literally on the first ever bios version for this board (P1.20 04/23/2014). updates at: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H97%20Pro4/#BIOS - you also have some ACPI memory range conflicts, which might go away by upgrading.23:39
naribiaoh....23:40
tomreynimpressive how asrock "add[ed] NVME support" to the BIOS not once, not twice, but five times according to the changelog.23:42
naribiaah23:46
tomreynnaribia: you have backups, right?23:47
naribiaof important stuff, yes23:47
Gallomimiauh hey...23:48
Gallomimiathis sounds really bad: Sep 26 17:31:08 draco-lambda udisksd[1509]: failed to load module mdraid: libbd_mdraid.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory23:49
tomreynnaribia: good. if you want to try and recover data you'd need a separate storage the same or larger size as the largest partition on sdb, then use ddrescue to create an image of these partitions on the other storage.23:49
tomreynGallomimia: yes it does, but it really isn't23:50
Gallomimiaoh. well, i'm hunting my boot journal for reasons that it hangs in boot23:50
cocofwhats the easy way to disable potentially harmful downloads blocking in chromium? i did search for safe browsing in settings, nothing23:50
Gallomimiathe message it shows in the screen where it hangs is: hold until boot process finishes up23:51
Gallomimiaand then if i press ctrl+alt+f2 then back to ctrl+alt+f1 it boots normally23:51
Gallomimiamy google search seems to have revealed a mixbag of causes for this error23:52
tomreynGallomimia: does it ever finish though? does      systemd-analyze critical-chain      produce non error output ?23:52
tomreyncocof: probably the icon to the left of the url23:53
Gallomimiait does finish. i'm booted now. but it only does so if i flip tty's within a few seconds of the hang23:54
Gallomimiathat command you asked for gives a pretty big screen full of mess23:54
Gallomimiawanna see?23:55
tomreynGallomimia: sure, if you can paste it to a pastebin23:56
Gallomimiatomreyn, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/M55Tf7QbBY/23:57
tomreynGallomimia: and now    systemd-analyze blame    as well23:57
tomreynsystemd-journal-flush.service took a long time during this latest boot (~14 seconds), but this doesn't usually run.23:59
Gallomimiahmmmmm.23:59
