[16:36] <tomreyn> !tty | Sbur3 
[16:37] <Sbur3> I messed up upgrade to 19.1O. Something went wrong during "started brfilter".  Now, boot bring
[16:38] <tomreyn> "Now, boot bring" ?
[16:39] <Sbur3> brings me to "Oh no  !Something has gone wrong.A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again"
[16:39] <tomreyn> ah, such can happen on pre-releases ;)
[16:40] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Got a help for me to get to a shell? I'm thinking about sudo dpkg --configure -a
[16:40] <tomreyn> are you sure about "brfilter"?
[16:40] <tomreyn> i don't see any reference to it anywhere
[16:40] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Not exactly.  br or bp ... I"m not a hae
[16:41] <Sbur3> hardened cv
[16:41] <tomreyn> about getting a shell, ubottu told you before you started talking here
[16:42] <Sbur3> tomreyn: I saw that obuttu told me that I had to ask here instead of in ubuntu
[16:42] <tomreyn> bpfilter does exist
[16:42] <tomreyn> !tty | Sbur3 
 Sbur3: To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution
[16:42] <Sbur3> tomreyn: !tty?
[16:43] <Sbur3> tomreyn: So F3, F4, F5, or F6?
[16:43] <tomreyn> yes, any of these
[16:44] <tomreyn> do you happen to have proprietary drivers installed?
[16:45] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Think that dpkg --configure -a would help?  Just tried F3 combination.  Didn't work. I feel that the keyboard seems unrecognized until the desktop or to the users screen
[16:46] <tomreyn> so you held down Ctrl and Alt keys and then tapped F3, then released Ctrl and Alt, and nothing happened?
[16:47] <tomreyn> dpkg --configure -a     may help if your upgrade was interrupted
[16:48] <tomreyn> the keyboard should get recognized from the early kernel boot onwards.
[16:48] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Yup.  During the 10 secs in Grub boot menu, I can't even choose to get a command line or to edit
[16:50] <tomreyn> hmm this may rather point to a hardware issue though
[16:50] <tomreyn> does your keyboard work in the bios?
[16:50] <Sbur3> tomreyn: It did
[16:51] <Sbur3> ... before
[16:51] <tomreyn> so it doesn't now?
[16:51] <Sbur3> tomreyn: since the failed upgrade
[16:51] <Sbur3> no
[16:53] <Sbur3> tomreyn: I'm at the users login screeen.  is there a way to get into shell from here? The mouse works fine
[16:54] <TJ-> Sbur3: is the keyboard USB or PS/2 serial?
[16:54] <tomreyn> Sbur3: if your keyboard does not work on bios, not on grub, not for switching to a tty in linux, then it won't work anywhere
[16:55] <Sbur3> TJ-: Wireless. "Trust" brand
[16:55] <TJ-> Sbur3: does it require its own USB dongle?
[16:55] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Maybe, but I'm trying
[16:56] <tomreyn> does it require non-empty batteries?
[16:56] <TJ-> Sbur3: batteries flat?
[16:56] <Sbur3> TJ-: I believe that the mouse and keyboard share.  But the keyboard worked before
[16:56] <TJ-> Sbur3: but doesn't work now, even in firmware, before the OS is even thought of, so keyboard == problem
[16:57] <Sbur3> TJ-: I just changed the battery.  Maybe wise to reset the keyboard?
[16:57] <TJ-> Sbur3: I don't know about that but if it has to pair to its dongle then it sounds useful
[16:59] <tomreyn> apparently this keyboard uses bluetooth
[16:59] <tomreyn> so maybe not an usb dongle?
[16:59] <TJ-> If it is bluetooth that infers the firmware has a bluetooth host driver
[16:59] <TJ-> Which is unusual
[16:59] <tomreyn> https://www.trust.com/en/product/21564-wireless-bluetooth-keyboard-for-pc-laptop-tablet-phone
[17:00] <tomreyn> ah they have various, sorry
[17:01] <TJ-> My T300chi, which is a transformer with only BT keyboard, doesn't include a BT driver - have to use hardware buttons to navigate firmware setup
[17:02] <tomreyn> Sbur3: can you tell us which keyboard you have there? one of these https://www.trust.com/en/trust/keyboards or one of these https://www.trust.com/en/trust/keyboard-mouse-combos
[17:03] <tomreyn> probably one of the latter since you said "I believe that the mouse and keyboard share"
[17:06] <Sbur3> Looks like the 21132 Ximo
[17:06] <tomreyn> https://www.trust.com/en/product/21132-ximo-wireless-keyboard-with-mouse
[17:07] <tomreyn> "One USB micro-sized receiver for both devices"
[17:07] <tomreyn> so you have a usb dongle
[17:07] <tomreyn> ...which needs to be plugge dinto the computer to make both the mouse and keyboard work
[17:08] <tomreyn> and both mouse and keyboard have separate power supplies, powered by batteries
[17:08] <tomreyn> this keyboard should work universally.
[17:09] <Sbur3> tomreyn: I'm an idiot.  The mouse that has always worked and continues to do so is of the brand IT WORKS
[17:10] <Sbur3> tomreyn: But the keyboard worked before the attempted upgrade
[17:12] <tomreyn> Sbur3: okay, i don't see new information conveyed there
[17:12] <tomreyn> other than that the mouses' brand is not "TRUST" but "IT WORKS"
[17:12] <tomreyn> what's not working is the keyboard, though, so I suggest focussing on that.
[17:13] <Sbur3> tomreyn: I'm going to replace the keyboard and the mouse tomorrow with a new battery
[17:13] <Sbur3> tomreyn: Any idea how to get the keyboard working?
[17:14] <tomreyn> Sbur3: no, i can't know what's wrong with it
[17:15] <TJ-> Sbur3: is the mouse that works the one that came with that Trust Ximo wireless keyboard?
[17:15] <tomreyn> it does seem to be a hardware issue, though, which can range from depleted batteries to a broken 'micro receiver' dongle
[17:15] <Sbur3> tomreyn: But another idea?  If not by a Live CD ... if the system is able to boot from DVD?
[17:16] <Sbur3> TJ-: Of course not. I keep putting together what works. But I don't have another keyboard
[17:17] <Sbur3> tomreyn: TJ-: Thx for the help so far. I'm in Belgium and need to do something else for the moment.  I'll retry tomorrow
[17:17] <TJ-> Sbur3: so the working mouse is wired?
[17:18] <Sbur3> TJ-: Neither. Mouse wireless
[17:18]  * TJ- rolls eyes
[17:55] <TJ-> tomreyn: just noticed this in Gusj's kernel log which is what I think Sbur3 was referring to: "kernel: bpfilter: Loaded bpfilter_umh pid 342"
[18:01] <tomreyn> TJ-: interesting finding. So... they could be the same person? or be affected by the same / similar bug?
[18:03] <tomreyn> and look what i find searching the web for bpfilter_umh https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46477
[18:03] <tomreyn> hopefull ynot related
[18:06] <tomreyn> well no, probably unrelated, i'm just jumping around
[18:09] <tomreyn> i also don't think there's any reason to assume Sbur3 and Gusj are the same person or worked with the very same piece of hardware (different IP addresses / countries, different ways of communicating)
[18:11] <TJ-> tomreyn: no, not same person, just that Gusj's log shows what looks like the expected, working, output of the report... presumably Sbur3's system fails at that... so we ought to be able to track down what that bpfilter_umh is
[18:13] <TJ-> It's the kernel's BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) layer/user-space interface 
[18:13] <lenny_lemon> how can I stop music playing in background from rhytmbox. application disappeared...
[18:16] <tomreyn> lenny_lemon: try:    killall rhytmbox    # if it doesn't help, try    killall -9 rhytmbox
[18:16] <tomreyn> Berkeley Packet Filter, i see
[18:17] <TJ-> that's the 'new' kernel programming environment where the programs to be run are compiled in userspace and then loaded into the BPF virtual machine
[18:17] <tomreyn> the one wireguard was meant to be using
[18:18] <tomreyn> UMH is "user mode helper"
[18:21] <lenny_lemon> tomreyn, it worked now... thanks...
[18:21] <tomreyn> you'Re welcome, lenny
