[00:01] I'll try booting a Live USB [00:02] I don't know if it's supposed to but the BIOS menus and stuff don't seem to appear on the external display either [00:03] The LiveUSB isn't detecting it either [00:04] Tried with two different HDMI cables with two displays of the same model, LiveUSB doesn't detect them [00:05] So that seems like either a hardware or firmware issue [00:05] if not for the fact that you fixed it once before, I would be thinking that your HDMI port went bad [00:05] same [00:07] seanh: sarnold :: A bios switch ? [00:08] Bashing-om: it's worth a look anyway [00:09] It's partially coming back to me: last time I think it was a ThinkPad BIOS/firmware bug not an Ubuntu bug [00:09] I think I did somethingin the BIOS, that I found on a Lenovo support forum, that fixed it [00:09] Can't remember exactly what [00:10] so, my microphone isn [00:10] I think I used a physical BIOS reset button [00:10] My microphone isn't working. I bought a new gaming headset from amazon, and that has a mic, but now I don't see my normal laptop mic, nor the mic on the headphones [00:11] any tips to get my mics recognized? Sorry for posting multiple comments [00:12] Is it a normal 3.5mm or a USB headset? [00:12] 3.5mm, with a triple connect [00:13] ive never used such a thing with this laptop, but I assumed it would work. But it is weird that my normal laptop mic isn't being shown either [00:13] jjbuggle, did you check alsamixer from terminal then press F6 for sound card check if anything is muted [00:13] ill try rebooting maybe [00:13] no [00:15] jjbuggle: what's pavucontrol look like? [00:15] im looking at alsmamixer, and checking to see what is there, but i don't know what muted would look like [00:16] jjbuggle, it would have an "M" under the slider [00:17] still nothing showing up in audio input devices [00:17] lemme reboot [00:17] ok [00:18] sarnold: ozzzo Bashing-om Thanks for all your help. Shut down the laptop, used a paper clip to hold down the physical BIOS reset button on the under side for a second, booted up again--external displays are working again [00:18] This is the same thing that happened last time [00:18] nice [00:18] Windows users with this laptop (ThinkPad X1 Carbon) are having the same problem [00:18] seanh: woah owah [00:18] seanh: where's this button? :) [00:18] this sounds like something I ought to know [00:19] seanh: got a label printer hander? "stick something in me when the display stops working" :) [00:19] The funny thing is: it did not start working again immediately on booting up ... *one of my two HDMI cables was also broken* in addition to the BIOS problem [00:19] sarnold: There is a small hole on the under side of the laptop you can fit a paper clip in [00:19] seanh: be sure to destroy that cable before discarding it [00:20] seanh: the last thing you need is for someone to salvage it :) [00:20] Answer from Lenovo staff: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/X1-Carbon-6th-gen-HDMI-not-working/m-p/4092656/highlight/true#M86235 [00:20] seanh: thanks :) [00:21] seanh: :D [00:23] Ok, I can go to bed now. Had to fix this for my friend so she can work in the morning. It's half past midnight [00:23] gnight! [00:23] and good job :) [00:23] :wave: [00:38] After I upgraded the kernel to 5.3.0-23 on Bionic, the system is booting to initramfs emergency shell. Is this happening to someone else? [00:38] It's something related to mdadm [00:42] FurretUber: does it say why? [00:42] After a spam of /dev/mdadm messages, it says it gave up waiting suspend/resume device [00:44] Nothing was saved on syslog and no message about the root being clean appeared, so probably the root file system was never mounted to save logs [00:47] bummer. without an actual error message it's really hard to know the next step :( [00:47] can you boot into older kernels okay? [00:47] Yes, I'm on 4.15.0-70 now. I can reboot and take some photos [00:48] Unfortunately it's on this computer, so I'll have to leave the chat while doing that [00:53] OK. I set up another computer and I have the broken one ready to be tested [00:54] woo [01:01] http://i.imgur.com/PlcrAdQ.png [01:03] FurretUber: hmmm... the missing modules hint makes me wonder, do you have the linux-modules-extra-* packages installed for the new kernel? I think I saw something similar (but without lvm, heh) [01:03] Well, there is no sda in /dev, this is super strange [01:05] FurretUber: I no longer have raid experience, but: "there is no sda in /dev" makes me wonder if Bios dees the hard drive ? [01:06] Booting 5.0.0-36 was successful, so the computer does detect and use the drive, it's just that specific kernel version [01:07] The extra modules aren't installed, but the 5.3.0-19 was working without them [01:10] FurretUber: stick around a moment I'm going to go lok through some logs [01:10] FurretUber: In any event, the place to start is to know the UUIDs - sudo blkid -c /dev/null - and compare to what the system expects.

[01:35] you could of course use tc or other controls to ratelimit how much traffic is used [01:36] 200gb is a partial mirror; it might be useful to you or friends but it's less widely useful; a full mirror is quite a bit larger [01:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors [01:36] ^ this is what I was looking for [01:40] I added the information in the bug report no raid, lvm or md were configure and that is a normal desktop install [01:42] Hmm... when I set up my mirror, I used apt-mirror, lxd and a systemd service.

[08:24] 18.04 does not come with that kernel. [08:24] I cannot install nor 18.04 nor 19.10 nor 20.04 daily build [08:26] why can't you install? [08:26] hello i have a copy and paste bug in ubuntu 19.10, how can i fix it? [08:28] !mainline | croraf [08:28] croraf: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [08:28] its not copying one time i have to click twice, why? i had with ubuntu 19.04 no problems, sry for my bad english [08:32] EriC^ so you suggest I install the 18.04 and then update kernel? [08:33] croraf: sure why not [08:36] Well, I tried that many times, I can install only with specific options set, and then it crashed after 1 min. I had trouble getting in later. [08:36] I tried with 19.10 also, with even less success (not able to install anyhow), and with 20.04 daily build (same as with 19.10) [08:37] You think my chances are greatest with 18.04.3? [08:37] EriC^ [08:45] Does 18.04 have a daily build? [08:45] There is something like this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/bionic/daily-live/pending/HEADER.html [08:46] but there is no file list below. Is this just the released 18.04.3? [08:46] 18.04 is an LTS release, it does not have active development [08:47] EriC^ thanks, setting the gid works for my use case [08:47] EdFletcherT137 well it is being updated with patches, so it should have like a development version [08:48] croraf: yes true sorry, I took from your use of "daily build" word choice you expected it was in active, daily development [09:15] hi,i am using bionic,fresh install but importing a public pgp key is not working.made an foo.asc file,typed --gpg import foo.asc and return is no valid OpenPGP data found [09:18] sorry,the command was gpg --import foo.asc [09:30] croraf, you can find the latest 'daily' build of 18.04 via http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds [09:30] (ie. it's the work that will become 18.04.4) [09:30] guiverc, that's equivalent to running apt upgrade on an existing 18.04 install, right?

I've installed the rtl8812au kernel modules - I can see they're installed with modinfo. I can also see the id from lsusb of my usb adapter (0846:9052) is listed in the mod info. So it *should* work. [11:29] But I don't know where to go from there. When I do "ip link" I don't see any new interfaces. And gnome still isn't showing any way to use a wireless network connection. [11:30] I feel like I'm missing a step. Like there's no issue with what I've done so far, I just don't know where to go from here. [11:31] toomanyof, you may need to restart NetworkManager (guess, I'm tired) [11:32] toomanyof: or try a reboot [11:32] or unplug, replug [11:33] Hey friends! I've tried all three of those things actually. [11:33] toomanyof: in terminal look at> modprobe -c | grep 0846 | grep 9052 [11:34] Hello, anyone using Matrox DSX (SDI) capturing video cards?

[12:10] Yeah, what would I be looking for in the modprobe? === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [12:10] what's the exact command you typed that crashed? [12:10] how can I downgrade my kernel to 4.4.167? [12:10] and you wouldn't look for anything... modprobe inserts the module into the kernel [12:10] np_complete: you don't [12:11] Ah right, sorry I thought you meant modinfo. Yes, it's the module's loaded. The dkms install script for what I've found works. [12:11] It says its installed and I can find it listed as being loaded [12:12] I need to downgrade because some Matrox SDI card drivers work only up to that version of the kernel [12:12] sounds unlikely [12:13] one colleague says that after that version the kernel module does not build due to incompatible API [12:14] As a multilingual, I really don't like Ubuntu 18. I actually upgraded to 18 one whole year after its initial release. And hoped that patience and waiting can make the transition much more smooth. It didn't.

[12:16] I just tried it switch to the root user. Same result. [12:16] I said before here that fcitx doesn't work well under Ubuntu 18 and it used to conflict the system default input mechanism. Namely the hotkey to switch IME. Fine, I just rebind it from 'super+space' to 'alt+space' and things get to work somehow. [12:16] toomanyof: do "sudo -i" then "strace -o /tmp/log lshw -c network" [12:17] And I can't get those processes to die. They just sit there forever no matter how many ways I try to kill them Ben64 [12:17] toomanyof: then check /tmp/log and see whats there [12:17] leeijaw: there is no Ubuntu 18 [12:17] But today, I tried to add russian and german keyboard to fcitx, it doesn't work at all. The Chinese works, I guess it is because it uses the same US keyboard layout. [12:17] My problem is not about Ubuntu 18 or 16. [12:18] My problem is about getting fcitx to work on my current computer. [12:18] Alright. What should I be looking for in /tmp/log? EriC^ [12:18] I just don't bother to re-install my OS just for this. [12:18] Ben64 why can't I just downgrade kernel version? [12:19] np_complete: if you need 4.4 16.04 has it [12:19] until April, at least... [12:19] Hey, I do not want to reinstall my whole system after all the work I had to do to get it this far [12:19] what version of ubuntu is on there now [12:20] In fact, I have adapted myself to the later Ubuntu quite well and solved many problems of my own with asking any help. But this really annoys me for long. [12:20] 18.04 [12:20] np_complete: well you could either 1) get it working on 18.04, or 2) install 16.04 [12:20] VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" [12:21] Yes, I only used the LTS. [12:21] Me too [12:21] Ben64 get working what? [12:21] Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS [12:21] np_complete: the driver/card/mcguffin [12:21] I mean I solved my problems WITHOUT asking any help. [12:22] Except for this input method hell [12:22] Ben64 are you telling me it is not posible to downgrade kernel version? that does not sound true [12:22] np_complete: it's very true [12:22] how come? [12:22] because 18.04 comes with 4.15 [12:24] EriC^: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pvHzzkZD45 [12:24] This is the contents of the log made with strace [12:25] Seems like it terminated mid-message. But I'm not totally sure. [12:25] np_complete: and even if it was possible (i bet it is not, systemd and other core system components will probably not work well with the older kernel version), you'd then be running an unsupported and non supportable system. which you don't want, especially if you're trying to develop something usable. what you really need to do is to convince matrox or a third party to provide driver support for newer kernel versions. [12:26] it might already exist [12:26] I never had any problem with sytemd and I quite like it in fact. [12:26] that's part of option #1 - get it working on 18.04 [12:26] np_complete: and until then, your best option is to run ubuntu 16.04 LTS (which will get another 5 years of (only) security support via ESM) [12:26] tomreyn: that's paid, right? [12:27] but going back to 16.04 does it mean that I get older version of cmak and libs and stuff? [12:27] but going back to 16.04 does it mean that I get older version of cmake and libs and stuff? [12:27] Ben64: there's a free tier [12:27] you can't have it both ways, either you get old stuff or you get new stuff [12:27] np_complete: it sure does [12:27] that could be a blocker then for me [12:27] i think option 1 is the way to go [12:29] get Matrox to make their driver work on newer kernel? challange accepted.... but I do not have the people or business skills, they will ignore me like the rat I am... LOL [12:30] well the first step would be to find out why it isn't working [12:31] I have to got there yet because firsts I need to build some old versions of some libs and their deps and I am getting issues with that, then as said, on colleague claims that with newer versions of the kernel than the mentioned it can not build the kernel module [12:31] I have not got there yet* [12:31] I give up [12:32] the trick is to ignore the colleague [12:33] "sudo lshw -C network" is marked as "D" in htop, which apparently means that the only thing you can do is wait or reboot - there's no other way to kill the process. I have no idea what's going on, but I've spend 5 hours today trying to get this wifi adapter to work, and if this is happening now, I'm gonna guess there's something seriously broken. [12:34] toomanyof: return it and get something better :D [12:34] I'll have to order something online... and due to circumstance, that's hardly worth it... What a pain. =( [12:34] usually stuff that mentions raspberry pi would work well [12:35] tomreyn I managed to install 18.04.3 with some options and some errors [12:35] probably $5-10 === pikapika_lunar_a is now known as pikapika [12:35] tomreyn how can i collect stuff for report, i have no network [12:35] toomanyof: you need a rtl8821au driver [12:35] croraf: get network [12:35] apport-collect fails [12:35] i have to update kernel for that [12:36] and if i restart i might not be able to boot again [12:36] croraf: post the journal for now: journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:36] toomanyof: like https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au [12:36] croraf: ah this wont work without network either [12:37] yes, failed command [12:37] Thanks jeremy31, but that was the first one I tried. [12:37] The install of the module worked apparently. [12:37] 19.10 and 20.04 will work if boot happens [12:38] because kernel needed is 5.1+ [12:38] croraf: you can write it to a file journalctl -b &> /tmp/log and then copy /tmp/log to some removable storage [12:38] But like... nothing else happened after that. No new interface. nothing. [12:38] croraf: why do you need to upgrade the kernel to use networking? [12:38] croraf: is it a "killer" NIC? [12:38] toomanyof: you may have to remove any others installed after that one, for some reason I had to reboot twice after install [12:39] wifi driver requires 5.1+ [12:39] Ok hold up. Help me through this. [12:39] croraf: do you not have ethernet? [12:39] https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-17-cb0000-laptop-pc/26122176/document/c06411586 [12:40] First I'm gonna just get rid of the modules I've installed so I can start anew. Is that just modprobe -r? [12:40] i dont have ether unfort, router doesnt provide [12:40] let me check [12:40] toomanyof: I have to go into work soon, can you post at ubuntuforums.org or askununtu.com [12:40] Ah shit [12:41] Ok [12:41] Yeah, I'll do that in a little bit. But thanks for the suggestion! [12:41] Chilli555 might post before I di [12:41] croraf: i have yet to learn about CPE which doesn't provide a single ethernet interface. [12:43] but wait guys, why don't I try to find other SDI capturing devices that are better supported in Linux? instead of this Matrox stuff? [12:45] np_complete: we do not know this, nor is this a support question. [12:51] tomreyn | I think I managed to setup ethernet :) [12:51] croraf: congratulations. [12:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1852636 [12:51] Launchpad bug 1852636 in linux (Ubuntu) "Cannot install any release on HP Omen 17-cb0013nm " [Undecided,Incomplete] [12:52] the reporting system made a mess [12:52] in the ticket [12:53] it's normal to look like this when apport posts logs, that's ok. you should state these logs are from an 18.04.3 system if that's so. [12:54] i put a note at the end. tomreyn but I saw these reports being in a single comment, not in 20 comments [12:55] croraf: that's how this software works, don't concern yourself about it. you should probably install linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge and all pending updates now. [12:55] Don't know what should I do now. Should I persist these options I booted with, so I boot with them every time [12:56] what's that? [12:56] I used 18.04.3 which is latest release [12:56] Downloaded a week ago I think [12:56] hmm, the log you posted is that of an installer system, so you're on the live / install system now? [12:57] i thought you had said you had already installed. [12:57] hmmm, could be it booted the live version [12:57] It kinda installed but error at the end [12:57] it said something like you wont be able to boot - error [12:57] and it entered this screen [12:58] if you're trying to solve problems, you will need to collect error messages precisely [12:58] [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity quiet splash nomodeset acpi=off modprobe.blacklist=nouveau --- [12:58] I clicked on send error message, but because of no net it said error and closed and booted on desctop [12:58] this is how this system booted, it's a live/installer system [12:59] no way, I was selecting where to install [12:59] along windows system [12:59] so i suggest you reinstall, capture the exact error message this time. [13:00] be it as a text message (post to paste.ubuntu.com) or a screenshot (post to imgur.com) [13:01] Yes, I have a "intall ubuntu 18.04" icon on the top left [13:01] it's possible that using acpi=off prevented you from installing properly. [13:02] Without it it probably crashes during install [13:02] the installer kernel is experiecing issueus with the nvme storage you have there [13:03] the bot summarized info at the top what is going on, so no need to write the distro version and other stuff [13:05] [ 5.002570] nvme 0000:3b:00.0: can't find IRQ for PCI INT A; please try using pci=biosirq [13:05] you're right in that it captured this information. it did not capture your reasoning in booting 18.04 rather than 20.04 (which you initially reported) about, though. [13:06] you suggest I try live boot with only pci=biosirq | tomreyn [13:08] i find this: blacklist nouveau blacklist ibm-nouveau options nouveau modeset=0 alias nouveau off alias ibm-nouveau off blacklist acer_wmi https://jeanbruenn.info/2018/04/01/omen-hp-with-linux/ [13:09] OerHeks so I should try install with these options [13:09] ? [13:12] croraf: try booting the 18.04.3 installer using nomodeset modprobe.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=intel-lpss-pci [13:13] croraf, worth a try, like the osi line from #ubuntu+1 .. and reading the whole post, it does not set backlight correctly.. [13:13] so maybe you have a screen, but no backlight? [13:13] update about my issue with Matrox, I can confirm there is a release of the driver and SDK that works in ubuntu 18.04 (kernel 4.15), have not tried it yet, but the thing exists. [13:13] jeremy31: I love you [13:14] I guess I just got carried away with something not working. But clearing everything away and reinstalling the first one worked. [13:14] Finally. FINALLY. [13:14] Thank you thank you <3 [13:16] tomreyn I think i tried that [13:16] You want me to install or try live? [13:17] croraf: you already booted live, but you were unable to install for reasons we don't exactly know. [13:17] ok, i can click now on install if you want from live boot [13:17] Thanks for helping me as well Ben64 <3 [13:18] and there is some error which says like something failed, but you can continue but it might fail [13:19] that something id ubi-partman failed exit code 10 [13:19] more info in /var/log/syslog [13:20] i can proceed but it worns me the installation can fail or be broken [13:21] croraf: i assume the only storage this computer has installed is the NVME. Which, as shown above, this Ubuntu kernel, if booted with the options you booted with this time (including acpi=no) is unable to handle properly. as such, an installation form this system, booted with this kernel and these existing kernel parameters, is likely not going to ever succeed. so try variations. [13:22] hey guys. fresh install of 18.04 ... run apt-get update and install a couple of packages. everything works great. when i try to run apt-get install postgresql i get "Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [13:22] requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable [13:22] oops, sorry [13:22] distribution that some required packages have not yet been created [13:22] or been moved out of Incoming." [13:22] anyway, boils down to `ssl-cert` that cannot be installed. [13:23] tomreyn | how should i proceed now. should I try to boot 20.04 live with the same parameters? [13:24] behelit, run: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade # this might need a restart [13:24] dont know what is NVME, i have SSD storage [13:24] that would explain dependencie issues [13:24] !info postgresql [13:24] postgresql (source: postgresql-common (204ubuntu0.1)): object-relational SQL database (supported version). In component main, is optional. Version 11+204ubuntu0.1 (eoan), package size 5 kB, installed size 65 kB [13:25] nvme is a more recent form of ssd storage, croraf, it connects directly to the pci-x bus. [13:25] croraf: try booting the 18.04.3 installer using nomodeset modprobe.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=intel-lpss-pci [13:26] OerHeks: what would explain the dep issue? [13:26] OerHeks: would prefer no restart as i'm building an ami with hashicorp packer [13:27] behelit, really? good luck then.. [13:28] OerHeks: is it a weird thing to not want a restart to install something as common as posgres? [13:29]
