| Nobodyz | how to get a cd/dvd drive mounted ? | 18:41 |
| tomreyn | there should be a 5.25 compartment in the enclosure | 18:47 |
| Nobodyz | it's physically there pluged in and powered, UStudio just isn't seeing it | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | is there an optical disk in there? | 18:48 |
| Nobodyz | yuppers | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | and that contains a file system in some format that you want to mount? | 18:49 |
| Nobodyz | yes | 18:49 |
| Nobodyz | well dvd video | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | is the goal to play back the video? | 18:50 |
| Nobodyz | well sorta, MakeMKV from dvd | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | maybe try whether you can open it using "vlc dvd://" first of all | 18:51 |
| tomreyn | i hope thats the right commend, not sure | 18:51 |
| tomreyn | if it turns out not to be you can still open it from the vlc menu | 18:52 |
| Nobodyz | VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sg1'. | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | did you specify this "dvd:///dev/sg1" instead of just "dvd://"? | 18:54 |
| Nobodyz | dev/sg1 and dev/sg0 are listed in the options to choose from, both do not work | 18:54 |
| tomreyn | !dvd | 18:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 18:55 |
| Nobodyz | even if I have a cd/dvd of jpg's it doesn't read it | 18:57 |
| Nobodyz | I've also got a spare hadr drive that it doesn't see either | 18:59 |
| Nobodyz | hard* | 18:59 |
| Nobodyz | when I plug a usb flash drive in works just fine | 19:00 |
| Nobodyz | just no sata connections seem to be working | 19:01 |
| Nobodyz | also is there a way to get into the UEFI/BIOS from UbuntuStudio, I can't seem to getinto the bios | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | Nobodyz: so when you eject the disk, then run dmesg -w then insert the disk, what does it way on the dmesg? | 19:05 |
| tomreyn | * DVD | 19:06 |
| Nobodyz | not sure where do I click on that? I | 19:07 |
| tomreyn | you can type fwsetup from a uefi grub command line to access the uefi configuration screen | 19:07 |
| Nobodyz | yeah I'm pretty new to Linux | 19:08 |
| Nobodyz | as in this is the first distribution I've tried | 19:08 |
| tomreyn | i see. so open a terminal window, then type dmesg -w and press enter | 19:08 |
| Nobodyz | okie dokie, tons of info | 19:09 |
| tomreyn | then eject the dvd from the drive, then insert the dvd into the drive again, then check what it says on the temrinal window about this, and press ctrl-c to cancel. | 19:09 |
| Nobodyz | looks like my sg1 is actually my USB flash drive | 19:09 |
| Nobodyz | eject, close drive did nothing in that window | 19:10 |
| tomreyn | sg1 is the first scsi drive, you don't see this much nowadays. | 19:11 |
| tomreyn | what's ths computer, and which ubuntustudio version are you running? | 19:11 |
| Nobodyz | version finder? | 19:11 |
| tomreyn | you can copy and paste this to the terminal: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) | 19:12 |
| tomreyn | it shoould get you a http address you can post here | 19:12 |
| Nobodyz | fer goodness sake how do you paste into the Terminal window | 19:13 |
| tomreyn | ctrl-shift-v | 19:14 |
| tomreyn | or middle mouse button | 19:14 |
| tomreyn | the keyboard shortcut may actually vary by the terminal you're using | 19:15 |
| Nobodyz | https://termbin/3dkz | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | it may also say on its menu | 19:15 |
| tomreyn | so you're on UbuntuStudio 19.10 | 19:16 |
| Nobodyz | how can you tell that?? | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | well look at the url you posted | 19:16 |
| tomreyn | you missed .com but i could tell so | 19:17 |
| Nobodyz | oh hey lol .com | 19:17 |
| tomreyn | now can you copy and paste the output of this here? journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | should be just one line | 19:18 |
| tomreyn | this should hint on what kind of computer oyu have there | 19:18 |
| Nobodyz | oh I know the guts of the computer pretty good | 19:18 |
| Nobodyz | i7-7700k on a Z270 board | 19:19 |
| Nobodyz | z270 gaming k6 | 19:19 |
| Nobodyz | UbuntuStudio is installed on to the NVME drive, but there is a 1 TB spinny drive in the computer also | 19:20 |
| Nobodyz | 8GB ram, GTX 1070 installed | 19:20 |
| Nobodyz | oops 16GB ram | 19:24 |
| tomreyn | hmm, and it still has an scsi bus? | 19:29 |
| Nobodyz | uhh not sure, looking through that dmesg scsi host0-5 are listed ahci | 19:31 |
| Nobodyz | scsi host0: ahci | 19:31 |
| Nobodyz | ata1-2 = DUMMY, lol is that me | 19:31 |
| tomreyn | maybe you can post the full journalctl -b then i could get a better idea of why your dvd drive isnt seen | 19:32 |
| tomreyn | :) no, i dont think so | 19:32 |
| Nobodyz | ata3-6 = SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xdc44b000 port 0xdc44b200 irq 137 | 19:33 |
| Nobodyz | I know the board disables 2 of the sata ports when using the NVME drive but I took that into account and moved the dvd/HDD to the other ports | 19:34 |
| tomreyn | does the jounral mention the dvd drive, though? | 19:34 |
| Nobodyz | checking... | 19:34 |
| Nobodyz | any idea what line it might be on | 19:35 |
| tomreyn | it's been 10 years or so that i last used optical media. my guess is it should be something "ata" | 19:37 |
| tomreyn | maybe atapi? | 19:37 |
| Nobodyz | I'm also looking for my HDD that is also plugged and powered | 19:37 |
| tomreyn | normally, that is on a sata bus, the first HDD is sda, second sdb | 19:38 |
| Nobodyz | yeah I'm confused on that since the OS is on NVME comes up- with non-sda type stuff | 19:39 |
| tomreyn | on old scsi or sas buses you'd have those sg devices | 19:39 |
| Nobodyz | er might be nvmesda1 | 19:39 |
| Nobodyz | the board is only maybe a year or 2 old | 19:39 |
| tomreyn | nvme would be nvme0p1 or something | 19:41 |
| Nobodyz | nvme0n1p2 | 19:41 |
| Nobodyz | yup | 19:41 |
| tomreyn | thats partition 2 on the first nvme storage | 19:42 |
| Nobodyz | yes | 19:42 |
| Nobodyz | just reading through the journal thing | 19:42 |
| Nobodyz | looks like the only things comming up red in there are something called PAM | 19:45 |
| tomreyn | pluggable authentication module. this is about user logins to the system. since you seem to have logged in fine, it doesn't seem to be fatal. ;) | 19:46 |
| Nobodyz | yay no Fatal Errors! | 19:47 |
| Nobodyz | is there a way to get to the UEFI/BIOS from inside Linux? | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | journalctl -b0 -p4 prints all messages of level warning and worse | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | journalctl -b0 -p 3 prints all messages of level error and worse | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | <tomreyn> you can type fwsetup from a uefi grub command line to access the uefi configuration screen | 19:48 |
| Nobodyz | what a uefi grub command line? | 19:49 |
| Nobodyz | what's* | 19:49 |
| tomreyn | in fact if you're uefi booting your ubuntustudio installation you should already have a menu option to boot to the uefi configuration screen on your grub boot menu | 19:49 |
| Nobodyz | not sure what a grub boot menu is | 19:50 |
| tomreyn | grub is the boot loader ubuntu flavors, including US, uses by default on x86 and amd64 systems. | 19:50 |
| tomreyn | !grub | 19:50 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 19:50 |
| Nobodyz | when I turn on the computer (power) it boots to UbuntuStudio, no options | 19:50 |
| Nobodyz | this isn't a dual-boot system | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | keep pressing escape on boot | 19:53 |
| tomreyn | this should bring up the grub boot menu, which should have an option to boot to the uefi configuration screen | 19:53 |
| Nobodyz | I've tried, the screen shows the reboot/shutdown from when I rebooted/shutdown from the last time and once it enables the keyboard while pressing the "Delete" key or any key for that matter gets badly garbled, then hangs | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | generally, how to enter the uefi configuration screen is a matter that is specific to your mainboard and its firmware, though, and support for this should be provided by its manufacturer | 19:54 |
| Nobodyz | Delete is the key | 19:54 |
| tomreyn | this, too, is a hardware / firmware support case, nothing ubuntu related | 19:55 |
| Nobodyz2 | okie I switched computers so I can try stuff without losing connection | 19:56 |
| Nobodyz2 | oh | 19:56 |
| Nobodyz2 | well crappola | 19:56 |
| Nobodyz2 | thanks for helping out I learned some new commands!! | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | if you can find out how to flash the uefi to a higher version this may overcome this issue | 19:57 |
| Nobodyz2 | wait, on the grub thing how is that actually supposed to work | 19:57 |
| tomreyn | https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z270%20Gaming%20K6/index.asp#BIOS | 19:57 |
| Nobodyz2 | 2.30 is the highest version, and installed | 19:58 |
| tomreyn | on the grub menu, you'd see a "system setup" option like this https://static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/muo-linux-dual-boot-grub.jpg | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | selecting this option would effectively do the same as pressing the hot keys pre boot | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | although it doesn't always work, depends on the uefi being not too buggy. | 20:00 |
| Nobodyz2 | yeah I don't see that | 20:02 |
| Nobodyz2 | just blank screen , the [ 59.58.991246] reboot: Restarting system | 20:02 |
| Nobodyz2 | then the UbuntuStudio login | 20:02 |
| Nobodyz2 | once logged in seems to function just fine, minus the DVD and HDD | 20:03 |
| Nobodyz2 | https://photos.app.goo.gl/vcGrm2auJScUkB5dA | 20:03 |
| Nobodyz2 | that's what I get when I hit the Delete on boot-up, or ANY key for that matter | 20:04 |
| tomreyn | you get a google 404 error when you boot your computer and press a key? | 20:13 |
| Nobodyz2 | no | 20:13 |
| tomreyn | phew, good to hear this. | 20:13 |
| tomreyn | but that's what i get on the URL above | 20:13 |
| Nobodyz2 | yeah I deleted the share | 20:14 |
| tomreyn | there's also ##hardware if you seek hardware support | 20:15 |
| tomreyn | generally, it helps to type the other persons' name if you want to make sure they see what you wrote soon | 20:15 |
| Nobodyz2 | similar to this https://i.imgur.com/15tnIEF.jpg | 20:15 |
| Nobodyz2 | sorry tomreyn | 20:15 |
| tomreyn | hmm ugly. maybe try a different monitor cable. | 20:16 |
| Nobodyz2 | been years since I've irc'd | 20:16 |
| tomreyn | no worries ;) | 20:16 |
| Nobodyz2 | happens on DVI or HDMI monitors | 20:16 |
| Nobodyz2 | two separate tries on two separate monitors | 20:16 |
| Nobodyz2 | once UbuntuStudio boots it works on either/both montiors | 20:17 |
| Nobodyz2 | I think it hangs trying to get into the UEFI | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | maybe clearing cmos can help | 20:17 |
| Nobodyz2 | uhg yeah | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | see your mainboard manual | 20:17 |
| Nobodyz2 | this motherboard is kinda crappy too | 20:18 |
| tomreyn | page 20 http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Fatal1ty%20Z270%20Gaming%20K6.pdf | 20:18 |
| Nobodyz2 | when I shutdown, it shutsdown, then kicks back on like I did a reboot, did that in Windows too | 20:18 |
| tomreyn | hmm yes this doesn't sound good | 20:19 |
| Nobodyz2 | just switched the SATA ports to different ones, we'll see if that changes anything | 20:27 |
| Nobodyz2 | well heck the HDD is visible!! | 20:28 |
| Nobodyz2 | AND DVD drive seems to be working | 20:29 |
| tomreyn | https://www.asrock.com/support/BIOSIG.asp?cat=BIOS9 states the hotkey to enter uefi configuration is F2, not Del | 20:35 |
| tomreyn | (there are firmwares which support both, though) | 20:35 |
| Nobodyz2 | ugh | 20:35 |
| Nobodyz2 | nope Del/F2 gives the same response tomreyn | 20:46 |
| tomreyn | Nobodyz2: ok, i guess you'll best clear cmos then. | 20:47 |
| tomreyn | this might fix both the automatic reboot and the inaccessible uefi config issue | 20:47 |
| Nobodyz2 | yeah I'll try that later, Thanks for all your help! tomreyn now I've got to figure out how to use the HDD | 20:47 |
| Nobodyz2 | the auto-reboot has been a problem for about 1600 reboots, 1000+ in windows and about 600 in Linux/UbuntuStudio | 20:48 |
| Nobodyz2 | I think the motherboard has a short in it somewhere | 20:49 |
| tomreyn | for partitioning / formatting it, you can use gparted or gnome disks | 20:49 |
| Nobodyz2 | the drive is visible but I can't tell how to find it from a program to save to it | 20:49 |
| tomreyn | if it's already partitioned and has file systems, using a graphical file browser may be the easiest to get started | 20:50 |
| Nobodyz2 | yeah it's just a dump drive, big and slow lol | 20:51 |
| Nobodyz2 | I made a folder on it | 20:51 |
| Nobodyz2 | through UbuntuStudio | 20:51 |
| Nobodyz2 | File Manager* | 20:51 |
| tomreyn | sounds like you're getting along. ;) | 20:51 |
| Nobodyz2 | I just need to know "Where" it is in the file structure | 20:52 |
| Nobodyz2 | is it under "home/USER/ | 20:52 |
| Nobodyz2 | I can see it in the sidebar, but not in the USER folder.. | 20:53 |
| Nobodyz2 | err it looks like it's under File System/media/USER/HDD/folders but the USER has a little X over the folder | 20:54 |
| Nobodyz2 | ahh okie I think I figured it out "File System" = root | 20:56 |
| Nobodyz2 | USER =/= root | 20:56 |
| Nobodyz2 | okie thanks again for your help tomreyn | 20:57 |
| tomreyn | /media/USER/HDD/folders would be the path where this gets mounted via gio, yes | 20:57 |
| tomreyn | you'Re welcome! | 20:57 |
