[00:02] hi guys i am trying to build Kodi from the source but i get this error [00:02] checking whether the C compiler works... no [00:02] configure: error: in `/home/kodi/tools/depends': [00:02] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [00:03] check the configure logs, it should have more detailed error messages [00:04] which configrue log [00:04] pretty copy paste, howto build kodi [00:04] https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kodi_for_Ubuntu [00:05] its not for ubuntu its for raspberrypi [00:06] what pi version? and what guide do you follow? [00:07] Raspberrypi 4 [00:08] thsi guide [00:08] https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/docs/README.RaspberryPi.md [00:09] i'm trying to load ubuntu linux 18.04.3 via iso. Busybox won't recognize my nvme ssd to format ext4 any ideas why? [00:12] I used the command fdisk -l then got msg Not found [00:14] all i find is RPi4B has LibreELEC 9.1.002 as its initial Alpha software version with Kodi's latest version. [00:15] I have absolutely had it with MS and the fruit guys. i'm not computer illiterate. I am willing to compensate someone to help me get Linux on my computer. [00:15] there is a bug with pi4 and usb, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi2/+bug/1848703 [00:15] Launchpad bug 1848790 in linux-raspi2 (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1848703 USB not working under arm64 on Pi4" [High,Confirmed] [01:11] I am trying to compile a GIMP plugin [01:12] configure: error: Package requirements (gimp-2.0 >= 2.2.0 gimpui-2.0 >= 2.2.0) were not met: [01:12] What paackages do I need to build gimp plugins? do you know this in ubuntu? [01:12] 18.04 is my version [01:13] https://github.com/inpaintgimpplugin/inpaintgimpplugin here is the plugin in question [01:17] install libgimp2.0-dev was the package [01:17] found it by much apt-file search [01:25] who is livepatching useful for? [01:26] anyone who can't reboot instantly when important kernel bugs are fixed [01:28] man I need my vision checked. I read that as "robot insanity" and .. what an interesting idea. hotpatching your robots. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest84535 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:35] iot right :) [01:45] Does debsums check *every* "registered" packages, including kernel images and whatnot? [01:46] I'm not sure all packages have md5s [01:47] sarnold, debsums tells me all packages have checksums. [01:47] As in, `debsums -l` doesn't show anything (-l lists the packages with missing checksum) [01:48] $ ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*md5sums | wc -l ; ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list | wc -l [01:48] 1355 [01:48] 1375 [01:48] 2033 vs 2036 [01:48] So debsums is lying? [01:49] I think that just means three of your packages don't have sums available to check [01:49] 2 x 2793 here [01:49] But then why doesn't debsums -1 list them? [01:50] I guess I need some command line fu to compare the two lists. [01:51] use ls -1 or better find [01:51] that's a "one" [01:52] tomreyn, why? [01:52] because ls may print multiple results per line [01:52] oh, I still need to chop off the 'md5sums' and 'list' to make them diff'able anyway. [01:52] which mean piping into awk or something. [01:52] So the -1 is redundant. [01:53] okay, just sarnolds' oneliner then ;) [01:53] This is when I wish I knew awk and friends. [01:54] diff -u <(ls -1 *md5sums | sort | sed 's/.md5sums//') <(ls -1 *list | sort | sed 's/.list//') [01:54] it's not perfect [01:55] I think that's probably good enough, especially if I qualify the search pattern with an end-of-line ($). [01:59] looks like the sort should go *after* sed [02:00] heh did that change anything? [02:00] I figured it'd slightly speed things up to move the sort after the sed, but not enough to re-write the commands :) [02:00] odd, no checksum for linux-image-4.18.0-15-generic, linux-modules-4.18.0-15-generic, and linux-modules-extra-4.18.0-15-generic. [02:01] sarnold, the sorting is actually incorrect if you do it before the sed. [02:01] Which means you get false positives (like +python3 and -python3 with a few lines in between) [02:03] k_sze: and those go away if you move the |sort to the end? weird :) [02:03] ok, I guess the checksums are not there because that kernel version is actually no longer installed. [02:04] dpkg -l tells me those 3 packages are just 'rc' now (Remove, Conf-files) [02:04] I hadn't realized the .list files were left around for packages in 'rc' state, but they are [02:05] hehe [02:05] Ok, so at least my base system seems ok. [02:05] but they're zero-bytes.. unexpected. interesting [02:05] yeah [02:05] It's been the second time that I got an inconsistent ext4 in two weeks. [02:05] I was forced to do a e2fsck in initramfs at boot time. [02:06] I don't know if it's a hardware problem or what. [02:06] S.M.A.R.T. seems to say the HDD is ok. [02:08] Hello there, I am having a problem on ubuntu with grub. Following setup: Multi-device btrfs on top of luks containers which are on top of GPT formatted nvme drives. Everything is setup in crypttab and fstab for the containers to get opened correctly at boot. /boot resides in the btrfs on top of luks, only unencrypted thing is the ESP, so grub needs to decrypt the luks containers before continuing. But grub [02:08] will only unlock one of the containers and go on, which results in an error since one of 3 containers isnt enough. If I manually decypt the other 2, it can boot fine afterwards. Why is grub not generating a correct grub.cfg in this case? Any way to circumvent the problem? [02:10] If I'm fully booted (via UEFI) and my root / is a mounted LUKS volume, can I perform a check on /boot and /boot/efi? [02:10] which are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 [02:11] GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK is enabled btw, otherwise decrypting manually couldnt even work, so that not the problem. The problem is missing cryptomount statements in grub.cfg, despite the crypttab file being setup correctly. Also fstab mentions that it needs all the 3 containers for root, so I dont really know what else to do except writing my own grub.cfg, which I really dont wanna do.... [02:12] k_sze: /boot/efi is the ESP, it is not needed once the system is running (except on upgrades where it could be modified) so you can unmount it, check it and remount it. Or create a new one if it breaks [02:13] k_sze: For /boot it obviously depends if it resides on the same FS as / and if yes, if that FS supports online checking (e.g. btrfs scrub) [02:14] l4m8d4, different FSs [02:14] It's just that gnome-disks is asking me for permission to unmount /boot when I ask it to check it. [02:14] So I'm hesitating. [02:14] you can unmount both /boot/efi and /boot [02:15] k_sze: If boot is on its on FS, you can unmount it [02:15] Can I trust gnome-disks to do the right thing (maybe automatically remount /boot and /boot/efi) after it's done checking them? [02:15] no idea [02:15] k_sze: I wouldnt, but probably it will [02:16] k_sze: Just check afterwards with "mount" if its mounted again. If not, do "mount /boot && mount /boot/efi" [02:16] it may even fail to umount /boot because /boot/efi is mounted [02:17] Yeah, these should be dismounted in order [02:18] bah, gnome-disks fails to even unmount /boot/efi [02:18] udisks-error-quark, 14 [02:18] I ran the upgrade from ubuntu 19.04 to 19.10 last night and at some point my pc turned off i thought that the installer rebooted but when i try to boto ubuntu now i get a kernel panic [02:18] use cli [02:18] vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [02:18] k_sze: ^ [02:18] Well then, you can just go into the terminal and (as root) do "umount /boot && umount /boot/efi" [02:19] is there anything that i can try and do to fix this before i just say screw it and do a fresh installation [02:20] wtf? unmounting /boot/efi causes /boot to also automatically be unmounted!? [02:21] devslash: two things: you could boot to recovery and run a file system check against /root (but it shuld already have done so automatically really). or you could https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Failure [02:21] when I choose 5.3.0 it kernel paniced [02:22] but 5.0 recovery seems to boot [02:22] i chose fix packages [02:22] So anyway, gnome-disks tells me neither /boot nor /boot/efi has a problem. [02:22] k_sze: Maybe an unmount was still pending and you unlocked it be unmounting /boot/efi [02:22] i think the upgrade was interrupted [02:22] l4m8d4, maybe [02:23] devslash: it probably sat at a prompt and the battery went dry [02:23] I forget where to control the S.M.A.R.T test to run (I mean short vs extended vs conveyance) [02:23] tomreyn, so the same thing just happend while it tried to build nvidia drivers [02:23] its adesktop [02:23] its a desktop [02:23] not a laptop [02:24] devslash: hmm maybe you have it setup to power off after a longer period of non-use? [02:24] damn [02:24] nbow it only boots to a grub prompt [02:24] now it only boots to a grub prompt [02:24] no [02:26] installing smartmontools requires me to configure postfix. I want to cry. [02:26] k_sze: only if you install recommended packages [02:26] also first option in postfix configuration is "leave untouched" [02:26] k_sze: You can just tell it you want local only mail then there isnt much to configure [02:27] I was able to get it to sorta boot ubuntu but now its on the purplish ubuntu screen with the dots and its stuck on that screen [02:27] oh nm now its at an initramfs prompt [02:28] k_sze: The mail system was used to inform an admin about failing drives. Nowadays, probably not many using it when there a things like zabbix and graylog to monitor that kind of stuff [02:29] devslash> just to see what happen before the initramfs try to remove quiet spalsh and see what was the last error/fail [02:30] ok i did that [02:31] i see that it says cannot open root device sda2 [02:31] sda2 probably is just an extended partition, what is else? [02:31] devslash: Are you using luks? [02:32] before thst it says powernow_k8 this cpu is not supported any more using acxpi-cpufreq instead [02:32] not sure if thats important [02:32] probably not [02:32] after the cant open root device it says [02:32] please append a correct root= boot option [02:32] then the kernel panic [02:33] if you have an initramfs shell, try running blkid and see which drive is the one you want in your root [02:33] devslash> I think that mean the it can't find the UUID or the /dev/sdxy [02:33] thats the root partition isnt it [02:33] which is why its kernel panicing [02:34] maybe your device numbering changed across kernel version and what used to be sda2 is maybe sdb now or something similar [02:34] at the grub prompt i was able to boot by using hd1,gpt2 as the boot [02:34] Try disconnecting excess drives you dont need for now and see if that helps with the numbering [02:35] anyone use docker? [02:37] Hmm, how do I show the progress of a long test started by smartctl? [02:38] looks like '-c' does it. [02:39] os there a way to get fro mthe grub boot menu to just a grub prompt [02:39] nm [02:41] devslash: It should be possible by pressing "c" [02:41] Otherwise, you can also just press f10 and modify the config of the highlighted entry to match your drive [02:41] (Or whatever the key may be, it displays it in the menu normally) [02:42] yes i figured it out thanks [02:45] or you can use 'e' to edit temporarly it and booting with ctrl-x or F10 when you are done [02:49] Does anybody know a site to check for known bad HDD firmwares? [02:50] My ext4 LUKS root volume has ended up in an inconsistent state twice in the past 2 weeks and I wonder if it's a firmware problem. [02:50] fsck didn't identify any bad block. [02:51] I also have no power management or write cache configured for that drive. [02:53] i think i have a hardware issue. my desktop is automatically shutting off at the grub prompt before i have a chance to enter the commands to boot up my borked install of ubuntu [02:55] k_sze: You can do a badblocks read-only test to sort out the worst ones [02:56] l4m8d4, I already did that in initramfs. no bad block reported by e2fsck. [02:56] k_sze: Regarding firmware I would start by looking up the model, if the manufacturer has issued firmware updates recently [02:56] It's a Toshiba MQ04ABF100. I have no idea if the firmware is even updatable. [02:58] This white suggests that there are multiple firmware versions for my HDD. But I can't find a firmware download on the official Toshiba HDD site. [02:58] s/white/site [02:59] https://smarthdd.com/database/TOSHIBA-MQ04ABF100/ [02:59] I think this is the official Toshiba HDD site: https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/us/product/storage-products/client-hdd/mq04abfxxx.html [03:00] No mention of firmware there. [03:00] k_sze: I'd also check for bad sata cables. They can cause corrupt data blocks too [03:00] ok so i can get to a grub prompt and know how to enter the commands to get to the grub boot menu but i dont know what to do from there [03:00] i cant boot without getting a kernel panic [03:02] devslash: See if blkid outputs matches your /etc/fstab [03:03] k_sze: Also, if you have the possibility, try another sata port. These can be bad too === not_phunyguy is now known as phunyguy === Napsterbater is now known as Guest4328 === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [03:56] Firefox 70 is out, update your systems to latest [04:07] hello? [04:07] yes? [04:10] hello is there a way to configure automatic shell login on bootup just by accessing a box on ssh? [04:10] in other words can I configure automatic login from the command line [04:11] alesan is a remote boxx? [04:12] how is it relevant [04:12] it's in the next room [04:13] besides using a terminal to ssh, there ssh apps you can use like secure crt that will save passwords. so that is how it is relevant [04:13] I was not clear [04:14] k [04:14] I need the GUI (lightdm) to login automatically an arbitrary user when the system starts [04:14] and open a desktop session [04:14] but I can only access that box over ssh [04:14] so no GUI tools [04:14] oh ok. got it [04:15] (technically, I could do X over ssh but I hope I don't have to resort to that) [04:15] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Setting_an_Automatic_Login [04:15] filename and settings to use are in there [04:16] cool [04:22] let's see if it works... [04:28] hi guys. i've been researching on setting up pptp client to connect to a windowz server... however, i couldn't find an answer on how to set up pptp especially in the PPTP Advanced Options... so many options. would appreciate if you could guide me to at least a website. i tried searching onj google and youtube but to no avail. my credentials are correct. thanks in advance for the help. [04:56] hey guys so I fixed my borked ubunbtu install and now its working fine but i still have an ongoing issue that was also the case in 19.04. i have 2 monitors and the ubuntu login screen also shows up on my 2nd monitor not my primary one. does anyone know how to fix this ? [05:02] devslash, swap the cables [05:02] what do you mean [05:03] i have one monitor connected via hdmi and the other is connected using dvi [05:03] Go into Settings > Devices > Displays and configure your monitors the way you want for your login screen (in your case, internal laptop display disabled). Click the "Save" button when done. [05:03] or screen etc. [05:04] i dont understand what you mean [05:04] i have desktop with 2 monitors [05:04] he'd need some adapters/dongles to address it physically by swapping the displays cables around [05:04] my primary is a samsung monitor [05:04] my secondary is a gateway monitor [05:04] Go into Settings > Devices > Displays and configure it [05:04] so he only has the option of addressing it in software now [05:05] i dont have the ability to fix it in display under settinbgs [05:05] if i switch my monitors there they are reverse [05:05] reversed [05:05] my 2nd monitor the gateway is to my left and the primary monitor is to the right [05:06] take your screens and swap them, so the left one is on the right and vice-versa ;-) [05:06] yea no... [05:07] why not [05:07] that ducking stupid... [05:07] thats [05:07] is it though? [05:08] yes i dont have room to do that anyway [05:08] you'll acclimate to logging in as is in time [05:08] thats a shitty solution [05:08] just allow yourself time to get used to it the way it is and obey [05:08] whatever [05:08] your question is shitty too [05:09] lol ok === CodeEarth is now known as CodeLyoko [05:22] my root drive is a fast NVMe, and my /home is a relatively slow RAID1 array of HDDs. Anyone have a thought where on the root drive to create some extra user-r/w space so I can leverage the NVMe's speed? [05:23] best I can come up with is /var/lib/home/$USER but that's probably abusing the purpose of /var/lib a bit too much [05:24] or maybe, following the lead of /var/www, just /var/home/$USER or /var/data/$USER ? [05:26] i saw a dialog about unattended-upgrades automatically restarting some services when libraries they depend on are upgraded [05:26] nicklist scroll +10 [05:26] where are the underlying configuration files that control this? [05:31] can I setup vnc so that I can login with lightdm and start the session that is also shown on the physical screen? ie not multiuser === Napsterbater is now known as Guest43219 === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [07:04] which android emulator is the best for apps and games and root things on ubuntu [07:09] err, anyone familiar with a feature I think I accidentally enabled with some weird shortcut, can't figure out anything fruitful to google: there is a line in the middle of screen and the right half is tinted dark [07:10] aha, clicking on it while holding alt made it disappear, gnome panel maybe? [07:16] NGC_6205: screenshot please? [07:19] lotuspsychje: unfortunately fixed it (apparently) before taking one [07:19] NGC_6205: was it like a corrupted half icon on the dock you mean? [08:04] I upgraded to Xubuntu 19.10 and everything is slow as hell. it is lowlatency kernel on T5600 cpu in laptop. [08:04] I can't even type, hexchat were opening for 12 minutes or more [08:05] in panel it shows large cpu usage one core at a time, but can't see anyting in top [08:06] on 19.04 it worked fine, system is on Btrfs on SSD [08:08] it's linux-image-lowlatency installed for kernel [08:17] nikolam, there is a low latency version of ubuntu 1910 installed on ubuntustudio, i think is better to test with that configuration. Is the kernel that you install 'certified' by ubuntu ? [08:22] I think that installed package is same named as one that were installed with 19.04, that is, linux-image-lowlatency . I could try installing linux-signed-image-lowlate [08:22] It should be safe to turn on write cache for a laptop that is plugged in most of the time, right? [08:22] (in fact, it should be safer to do so on a laptop than on a desktop without UPS?) [08:26] k_sze, another question is what happens when power comes back. There helps having copy-on-write FS like Zand Btrfs. But as I know, only XFS and ZFS would save you from long disk checks if unexpected shutdown on large disk pools. [08:27] My root fs is still ext4, in LUKS. [08:27] Sorry, ZFS and Btrfs === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [08:30] Actually, aside from checking the FS *within* the LUKS volume, is there any tool to check LVM2/LUKS itself? [08:37] Or can I assume that LVM2/LUKS is ok as long as I can mount the LUKS volume? [08:38] gigirock, actually linux-signed-image-lowlatency is already installed. I will see what kernel I can choose on reboot [08:51] Guys, my sound stopped working. Any ideas what I can check? [08:51] !sound | adac start here [08:51] adac start here: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[08:53] how do i recover an efi boot partition? [08:55] lotuspsychje, ook I now went to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting but all seems fine. I now simply ty a reboot [08:55] nvidia driver not working on an Optimus system [08:55] zamba: what happened to it? [08:56] arpad2: wich chipset, wich nivida driver on wich ubuntu version please? [08:57] lotuspsychje: is there any command to obtain this info? I don't know this exactly. [08:58] lotuspsychje: ubuntu is 18.04.03 [08:58] arpad2: pastebin please: sudo lshw -C video && nvidia-smi [09:00] jeremy31: i'm not able to boot off it at all [09:00] gigirock, seems there is some Xfce bug in Xubuntu now, newly introduced in 19.10 . After turning off displaying image on external monitor (945GM graphics in laptop), everything speed-wise is back to normal... [09:00] zamba: are you in a live usb currently? [09:00] jeremy31: i attempted to perform a physical to virtual migration of a running machine by doing dd over ssh [09:00] EriC^^: yes [09:01] zamba: type "(sudo parted -ls; sudo efibootmgr -v) | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:01] zamba: type "(sudo parted -ls; sudo efibootmgr -v) | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link [09:01] Turning on back external monitor again makes everything be dedaly slow, so it's som XFce/Xubuntu bug. [09:01] "Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables." [09:01] lotuspsychje: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4cPdJt8Z7z/ [09:01] zamba: any link? [09:02] EriC^^: the box is not online [09:02] zamba: can you get it online? [09:02] EriC^^: unfortunately no [09:02] zamba: ok what happened before it stopped booting? [09:03] parted -ls shows a vmware virtual disk.. 78.4GB.. partition table: gpt.. three partitions, first one is a fat16 filesystem of around 164MB.. has the boot flag enabled.. the second partition is also a primary partition.. 4GB.. it's the swap.. the third partition is the / and is ext4.. also a primary [09:03] EriC^^: the physical machine works just fine.. but i have migrated this to a virtual machine [09:03] EriC^^: so i have copied every block of the /dev/sda from the old one to the new one [09:04] EriC^^: to a virtual machine.. so the blkids should change and stuff like that [09:04] zamba: you need to add an entry to the uefi list [09:04] EriC^^: where is that? [09:05] EriC^^: in the bios? [09:05] zamba: for that you need to boot the live usb in uefi mode [09:05] which iso can be used for solving stuff like this? [09:05] zamba: no, you use efibootmgr to add it, or just chroot to the install, then run "grub-install" (after mount binding /proc /sys /dev /dev/pts) [09:06] zamba: any live iso that has the same arch as your install 32bit or 64bit [09:06] EriC^^: i'm using gparted live iso [09:06] zamba: ok, set the vm to boot in uefi mode, and boot the iso [09:07] https://www.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/enabling-uefi-on-virtual-machines.html [09:08] is this true? [09:09] i can confirm the virtualbox one yeah [09:09] well, the resolution increased [09:09] so something changed [09:09] let's see [09:12] How would I see my current machine's specs from the CLI? E.g. RAM and CPU [09:13] EriC^^: ok, now i got the system to boot through the gparted live c [09:13] +d [09:13] the option "boot from local hard drive" [09:13] but it's not able to boot on its own [09:13] zamba: ok, type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" [09:13] any dirs found or no such dir [09:14] but it's having issues finding its disks [09:14] Waiting for device /dev/root to appear: ..... Could not find /dev/root [09:15] Want me to fall back to /dev/disk/by-id/scsi--part3? (Y/n) [09:15] zamba: get to a terminal [09:15] booting the live cd again [09:16] Seems like Xfce 19.10/Xubuntu have a problem with COmpositing, when using multiple monitors. If pictures on both monitors are diferent (notjust mirror displays), then it is all urbanely slow. When screen compositing is off, everything works back again normal speed-wise. It is 945GM graphics and didn't ha an issue on 19.04. [09:17] EriC^^: yup, up [09:18] Anyone else have 945GM (Dell D620) graphics or similar, to try using multiple monitors and check if , while Display compositor is enabled, speed plunges , if 2 displays are not in 'mirror display' mode. [09:18] zamba: type "sudo parted -ls" which one is the ext4 one [09:19] EriC^^: /dev/sda3 [09:19] zamba: confirm uefi mode is enabled with "ls /sys/firmware/efi" [09:19] EriC^^: i have several folders and files dere, yes [09:19] there* [09:20] zamba: ok, type "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt" [09:20] EriC^^: already have :) [09:20] i'm chrooted into that already [09:20] and bind mounted /dev, /sys, /proc and /dev/pts [09:20] zamba: then "for i in /dev /proc /sys; do sudo mount -R $i /mnt$i; done" [09:20] yup :) [09:20] zamba: sudo chroot /mnt [09:20] yes [09:21] mount /boot/efi [09:21] already have :) [09:21] grub-install [09:22] /usr/sbin/grub-install: line 23: /etc/grub.conf: No such file or directory [09:23] odd it usually doesnt require that file [09:24] zamba: grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi [09:38] EriC^^: i'm able to get it booted if i manually navigate to the EFI file [09:39] EriC^^: so boot off file works, but not boot of device [09:39] zamba: i pasted you a command to run a while ago dunno if you noticed [09:55] I am having trouble with the new arduino: I keep getting the error message "arduino: line 35: /home/neil/arduino-1.8.10/java/bin/java: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" .... does anyone know how to fix this? [10:01] The previous version still starts up. === fling_ is now known as fling [10:44] neildugan: exec format usually means an architecture mismatch, 64bit on 32bit machine for instance [11:06] Hi, I need to check my filesystem urgently, it's btrfs both for / and home [11:06] I'm using 19.10 [11:07] the problem is if I reboot in repair mode, and select a root shell, the filesystem gets mounted rw, and there's no way to remount it ro (it's busy). [11:11] vincenzoml: go to recovery in grub, then straight to "drop to root shell" it should be ro [11:11] or run "sudo touch /forcefsck" and reboot it should fsck [11:11] EriC^^, that is precisely what is not working here: I reboot to recovery and then root shell mounts it rw [11:12] but I will try the second one and reboot! [11:12] ok [11:12] rebooting in 3... [12:12] Hi folks [12:15] In recompiling my kernel (for a config change) from a tag from git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git (e.g. Ubuntu-hwe-4.15.0-66.75_16.04.1), why does the build (`fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic`) fail unless I install the corresponding `linux-headers-4.15.0-66` debian package? [12:15] * In recompiling my kernel (for a config change) from a tag from git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-xenial.git (e.g. Ubuntu-hwe-4.15.0-66.75_16.04.1), why does the build (`fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic`) fail unless I install the corresponding `linux-headers-4.15.0-66` debian package? The error being "Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 4.15.0-66-generic cannot be found." [12:17] lucasrangit: we dont really reccomend compiling own kernels, use !mainline instead [12:18] Anyone using landscape here? [12:18] Fair enough, this is not mentioed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel though. maybe it should be. [12:19] !landscape | cgi [12:19] cgi: Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ [12:19] cgi: for landscape support, its best to contact canonical [12:20] lucasrangit: whats your real purpose with the kernel please? [12:20] trying to make something work? [12:22] lotuspsychje: I want to enable a driver that unfortunately can only be built-in. so I want to minimize the issues I have by using the same kernel I am running. [12:23] lucasrangit: are you on ubuntu? [12:23] lotuspsychje: yes 16.04.5 [12:23] lotuspsychje, thanks [12:24] lotuspsychje, is there something like landscape that is open source and easy to use? [12:25] cgi: for software reccomends you could try #ubuntu-discuss or maybe #ubuntu-server (if server related) [12:26] lotuspsychje, thanks [12:26] lucasrangit: is your system up to date to latest? [12:27] lucasrangit: if something doesnt work by default on ubuntu, i would reccomend a new !bug so developers at least know the issue [12:29] lotuspsychje: ok thanks [12:30] !uptodate | lucasrangit to doublecheck [12:30] lucasrangit to doublecheck: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [12:32] i'm a bit confused about the kernel image versions.. linux-image-5.0.0-32-generic are they stuck at 5.0.0 and just adding custom patches or? [12:33] shelter: wich ubuntu version are you on? [12:33] lts [12:33] uhm.. bionic [12:34] shelter: then you can be on 2 kernels, or 4.15 or 5.0 HWE [12:34] !info linux-image-generic bionic [12:34] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.15.0.66.68 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 15 kB [12:34] i changed kernel myself now but they seem to get increased by the last number [12:35] yeah.. whats the last numbers all about in 4.15.0.66.68 [12:36] the version naming for linux kernels are normally 4.15.xx [12:36] !info linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 [12:36] Package linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 does not exist in eoan [12:36] !info linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 bionic [12:37] linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 (source: linux-meta-hwe): Generic Linux kernel image.

[12:40] took the 5.3.6 one from the dev ppa [12:41] bvt that wasnt really my question... i was wondering about ubuntu's kernel versioning 5.0.0.32.89 ... is that the 5.0.0 kernel with ubuntu custom patches or? [12:42] easy answer to find; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ#Kernel.2FFAQ.2FGeneralVersionMeaning.What_does_a_specific_Ubuntu_kernel_version_number_mean.3F [12:43] i see, thanks [12:52] hello, on a testing machine i have a working 18.04 bionic version. Now I tried do-release-upgrade. But somehow this command simply hangs, nothing happens... [12:52] any ideas? Network connection is ok, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade etc... works [12:53] Aison, did you set updatemanager to any new version? [12:53] Aison: when it hangs, try to get the pid and run sudo strace -p [12:54] Aison: type "grep -i prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" [12:56] oerheks, yes, it is set to normal [12:56] do-release-upgrade -c says that I can upgrade [12:56] without -c it hangs [12:56]
