[00:01] de-facto: Then I tested by having my gmail inbox open on chromium, sending myself an email from my phone, hitting F5 on chromium immediately after that showed the new email [00:03] And watching the files in .cache/chromium showed no changes in anything there [00:03] what is the easiest way to change `python3` to just plain old `python` so that future installers will recognize it [00:05] and so i can just invoke python and be lazy with the extra character [00:05] gobble_gobble: I declare the version to use in the script: - # Force specific Python version >> PYTHON="python3" -. [00:06] yes but how do i get my system to recognize `python` as `python3` [00:06] right now if i type `python` i just get the command not found stuff [00:06] genii i am pretty sure its not disk caching, its more like memory or persistent connections or such [00:07] i gave up for now, seems Its just broken [00:08] gobble_gobble, I just put 'alias python=python3' in my .bashrc [00:09] gobble_gobble: I think system default currently is that /usr/bin/python points to 2.7 because some things break if it doesn't and that's why python3 is explicitly named. But you could tinker with making it the default the "proper" way by adding it to list of choices available in update-alternatives, and then switching it that way [00:09] ( to make it the systemwide default python) [00:09] gobble_gobble: setting python system wide seems to me a good way to break the system. What shows ' python --version ' ? [00:10] it was python2.7 [00:10] but i uninstalled that [00:10] now nothing :) [00:10] Bashing-om: Yep, probable breakage there :) But possible to tinker with and also revert with update-alternatives [00:11] if my system breaks, tell my mom i love her [00:11] genii: Filed for reference :D [00:12] oh yeah already seeing something broken [00:12] great [00:14] https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-from-default-to-alternative-python-version-on-debian-linux#h2-change-python-version-system-wide shows command syntax and how to prioritize which gets used first, etc === akko is now known as stallman [00:58] what file do you typically put your `export`s in? [00:58] .bashrc? [00:58] .profile? [01:03] .bashrc === stallman is now known as akko [01:14] i am trying to chown to my user of the /mnt doing sudo chown alexandrdvorkin /mnt but its still belongs to root [01:16] but what i am trying to do is to mount -t cifs -o username=pi,password=pi //192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads /mnt/Downloads butg i get error(2) no such file or directory [01:17] so i thought maybe i need to change the ownership of /mnt dir [01:18] ls -al mnt/Downloads ? does the directory exist ? [01:18] just a sec [01:18] is it ls -al or ls -la [01:18] /mnt/Downloads ** [01:19] aleksandrdvorkin: ether will do la or al :D [01:19] ls -la /mnt/Downloads ? [01:19] aleksandrdvorkin: Affirmed ls -la /mnt/Downloads . [01:19] ls cannot access mnt/Downloads :No such file or directory [01:19] but thats what i am saying the /mnt/Downloads exists [01:19] but it belongs to root [01:20] i can see in the filemanager it exists [01:20] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu and what exactly is included in the minimal install? [01:20] there you gp [01:20] aleksandrdvorkin: List "ls" would not lie to you . OK .. what then shows ls -al /mnt/ ? [01:21] drwxr-xr-x 2 alexandrdvorkin root 4096 Nov27 22:20 [01:21] drwxrwxrwx 3 alexandrdvorkin root 4096 Nov 27 22:20 [01:22] but mount -t cifs -o username=pi,password=pi //192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads /mnt/Downloads returns mount error (2) No such file or directory [01:23] i am trying to mount the share on Raspberrypi 4 to my Virtual box running Ubuntu 19.04 [01:25] aleksandrdvorkin: Hokay - we get to changing the ownership in a bit, once you understand what you are doing. One changes the ownership of the target directory, not of the mount point. // Is "/mnt/Downloads" mounted whan attempting to access ? [01:27] one does not change owner of the /mnt/ folder, change the owner of the media mounted there, or add the user to that group [01:27] so i should do sudo mount /mnt [01:27] sudo mount /mnt/Downloads first? [01:28] "/mnt/Downloads" is withing Ubuntu 19.10 [01:29] so i assume its mounter?\ [01:30] i am attempting to mount the /home/pi/Downloads dir on RaspberrypPI4 from my Ubuntu laptop its Macbook with VBox running Ubuntu 19.10 [01:31] and i can access it with smb://192.168.1.10 from File Manager [01:31] but i want to see if i can mount it using cifs [01:31] aleksandrdvorkin: Not mounted unless it is done explicitly as a mount command or is listed to mount in the /ext/fstab file. [01:32] ok so i should do [01:32] mount /mnt/Downloads [01:32] mount : /mnt/Downloads can't find in /etc/fstab [01:33] aleksandrdvorkin: ' sudo mount /mnt/Downloads ' if it is not already mounted from fstab. [01:33] i did that [01:33] and i got [01:33] mount: /mnt/Downloads can't find in /etc/fstab [01:34] aleksandrdvorkin: Back to square one . pastebin ' ls -al /mnt/ ' please. [01:35] ok [01:36] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j5n2XGSzYN/ [01:42] Bashing-om [01:42] aleksandrdvorkin: While that "should" work -here is a working example, note my ownership rights as "root". Pastebin 'ls -al /mnt/' and lets verify those rights. [01:42] aleksandrdvorkin: https://termbin.com/y045 [01:43] well the second deirectory of 3 is owned by root [01:44] did you look at the pastebin [01:46] Bashing-om did you look at the pastebin [01:46] aleksandrdvorkin: Yes i did look at you paste and the rights are not as per defaults. with "you" owning the "." directory we are stepping on insecure grounds :D [01:47] Bashing-om, aleksandrdvorkin I just checked and mount.cifs also says "no such file or directory" when the remote file doesn't exist. [01:48] Bashing-om, aleksandrdvorkin In particular I wonder if /home/pi/Downloads is a symlink? Have no idea what happens when you try to mount a symlink.... [01:48] rfm_: Thanks for the confirnation - aleksandrdvorkin; we get to that destinationin a bit. [01:49] no the /home/pi/Downloads is a directory on RaspberryPI4 [01:49] which i am trying to mount on my Laptop [01:49] to /mnt/Downloads [01:50] rfm_: seeing "/home/pi/Downloads" depends on the point of view within the filesystem. [01:51] ? [01:52] "/home/pi/Downloads" is a live directory on Raspberry PI4 [01:53] i can smb://192.168.1.10 from File Manager just cant mount using cifs [01:55] aleksandrdvorkin, yeah, I don't know what the file manager is doing. It may be mounting /home (not the lower level directory). Hmm, why don't you try that? [01:55] i already tried everything [01:55] sudo mount /home [01:55] sudo mount /home/pi [01:55] sudo mount /Downloads [01:56] mount error(2) No such file or directory [01:58] aleksandrdvorkin, what I would like you to try is "sudo mount -t cifs -o username=pi,password=pi //192.168.1.10/home /mnt/Downloads" [02:00] mount error(2) No such file or directory [02:17] aleksandrdvorkin: https://www.incredigeek.com/home/auto-mount-cifs-mount-point-on-system-startup-on-ubuntu/. I see it as " mount.cifs /192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads/ /mnt/Downloads -o user=alexandrdvorkin,pass=,uid=alexandrdvorkin " where you will provide the appropriate password. [02:19] will try now [02:20] is /192. or //192. [02:21] and i made a user pi in /etc/samba/smb.conf on Raspberry pi [02:21] do i still use user=alexandrdvorkin? === zbenjamin is now known as Guest46396 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:23] aleksandrdvorkin: Like you I think as //192 ; though the guide says otherwise :( [02:24] mount.cifs :bad UNC (/192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads) [02:26] aleksandrdvorkin: Is the utility installed ' dpkg -l cifs-utils ' ? [02:26] should be // [02:26] Bashing-om [02:27] installed [02:27] might want to run: nmblookup computername see if that says same ip you think it should be [02:27] 2:6.9-0ubuntu [02:28] dougn16k with // i get an error mount error(2) No such file or directory [02:29] I don't mount.cifs, I just mount //...ip../share... /someplace -o user=xx [02:29] don't know if that would make any difference [02:31] aleksandrdvorkin, just did it, works for me: sudo mount //10.1.0.86/raid6s /mnt/plextbserver -o user=doug Password for doug@//10.1.0.86/raid6s: ******** [02:32] no cifs? [02:32] correct [02:33] aleksandrdvorkin, just tried it again with mount.cifs, that works too [02:34] I think your mount command should work, problem somewhere else [02:34] with double slash [02:34] did you check nmblookup agrees with the IP you use? [02:34] sudo mount //192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads -o user=pi,password=pi [02:35] you didn't say where to mount it [02:35] right [02:35] sudo mkdir -p /mnt/whatever && sudo mount //192.168.1.10/home/pi/Downloads /mnt/whatever -o user=pi,password=pi [02:36] tomreyn: jeremy31: oerheks: lotuspsychje: here are the bugs i filed about the conversations today. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1854413 -- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205699 thanks for all your help. i'm in a working state and hopefully these lead towards fixes for all. (well, other than not having tested hdmi output yet with the 5.4 kernel, fingers crossed) [02:36] Launchpad bug 1854413 in linux (Ubuntu) "Backlight adjustments shows OSD but does not change anything on Samsung OLED panel" [Undecided,New] [02:36] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 205699 in Video(Other) "Backlight adjustment does nothing on Intel with Samsung OLED panel" [Normal,New] [02:36] mount error(2) No such file or directory [02:36] but /mnt/Downloads exists [02:36] home/pi/downloads isn't a share [02:36] you mount a share [02:37] no [02:37] you need to stop at home, drop the /pi/downloads [02:37] it doesn't work like that [02:37] you don't just point your finger at some path and mount it [02:37] you mount a share [02:37] the directory is in /etc/samba/smb.conf [02:38] what's in the [] above that [02:38] doug16k, I just tried and you can give a path down below the share point, it surprised me too [02:38] so i can access it via smb://192.168.1.10 [02:38] its accessible from file manager [02:38] but wont mount because its not a share [02:38] rfm_, do you reliably though? or did one test work [02:39] doug16k, one test worked. I would never do it that way... [02:39] if it is non-working, I'd try safe mount just the share [02:39] in RaspberryPi 4 NOOBS i cant right click on the folder and make it shared but i can access smb.conf and put path to the share like /home/pi/Downloads [02:39] rfm_, neat to know it could work though [02:39] i cannt seem to right click on the folder and make it make it shared [02:40] doug16k, although I just tried again (on a different path) and got permission problems... [02:40] the folders dont have that option even though the samba is running [02:40] doug16k look at the pastebin for ls -la /mnt [02:40] altendky: does that AX wifi work yet? [02:41] aleksandrdvorkin, when you added it to smb.conf, did you use the [homes] section or create a new section? [02:41] homes [02:42] aleksandrdvorkin, aha, the comment says the share is \\server\username (NOT \\server\home\username!) [02:43] lotuspsychje: it's worked in the 'current' kernels where it's expected to. jeremy31 walked through a bunch of stuff trying to get it working in 4.15 oem and we got to the error `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'iwlwifi': Exec format error` as to 'why' the backports aren't loading. but nowhere more. since i got the other stuff working in newer kernels (with patches) i am content. just need to test/maybe-fix [02:43] hdmi... [02:44] altendky: i would strongly suggest work systematic too, solve 1 bug at the time and keep your filed bugs updated with that [02:44] ok so should be sudo mount //192.168.1.10/pi /mnt/Downloads? [02:44] persmission denied [02:44] i used the password for pi [02:45] lotuspsychje: yeah, i flailed for awhile. but each issue is now isolated with identified commits that seem to be the fixes. [02:45] aleksandrdvorkin, well, at least it's different... [02:45] altendky: when you have tryed something, add a comment to your bugs, so the devs see and follow what you did/tested [02:45] mount error 13 Permission denied [02:46] lotuspsychje: i think i mostly did that up front? each one includes reference to commits or releases that i have identified as resolving the issue. [02:46] but yes, even then i could be a bit more rigorous in details of each kernel tested, a fresher install, bios reset to defaults, etc... [02:47] altendky: yeah try not to pack too much info in your original description, think to the essentials [02:49] aleksandrdvorkin, double check the username= and password=, that's the error I get when I botch them [02:50] lotuspsychje: hmm... i was thinking that identifying existing commits that were intended to fix the issue i am reporting but simply aren't present in all the places (i think) they ought to be would make a fairly clear report. but, perhaps i should reread and practice rewriting them tomorrow. [02:51] i remember i used password as just pi [02:52] altendky: im not blaming or anything, dont get me wrong, just want to widen your options, the better you comment your steps on your bugs, the more chance it will get solved and getting attention [02:52] lotuspsychje: i thought leaving out my flailing steps would improve the report :] [02:52] can i do sudo smbpasswd -a again? [02:53] altendky: no, for example when adding more steps/comments your bug might get confirmed by that [02:53] aleksandrdvorkin, I think for changing an existing password, just "sudo smbpasswd pi" works... [02:54] aleksandrdvorkin, long time since I did that [02:55] aleksandrdvorkin, (It should prompt for the new password when you do that.) [02:58] reset the password but still permission denied [02:59] aleksandrdvorkin, while you are logged on the pi, you might look at /var/log/samba/log- -- I get messages like https://termbin.com/vebvq when I give a bad password [03:00] altendky: feel free to join #ubuntu-discuss [03:00] no just mount error(13) : Permission Denied [03:01] aleksandrdvorkin, those messages were in /var/log/samba on the system I tried to mount from, not on the system where I did the mount. I think they were old messages anyway. [03:02] "/var/log/samba/log no sufh file [03:04] aleksandrdvorkin, /var/log/samba is a directory with multiple log.* files, one for each client at least [03:04] no such file [03:05] aleksandrdvorkin, probably the raspberry pi smb config is different from the stock ubuntu one I'm used to. [03:06] aleksandrdvorkin, have you considered using sshfs? at least if you can ssh into the pi you know the permissions will work... [03:07] no worries i can access the files via smb:// [03:08] aleksandrdvorkin, I'm giving up now anyway, out of ideas on how to debug the permissions stuff. [03:08] it something with the permission on the /mtn/Downloads not on pi [03:10] look at the ls -la /mnt [03:12] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QJcYyvc7gv/ [03:12] .. belongs to root [03:12] and i dont know how i can change it [03:15] cannt ssh eitehr [03:15] what do i need to have on Raspberrypi to ssh into it [03:21] aleksandrdvorkin: openssh [03:22] or just sudo apt install ssh [03:28] got ya [03:28] ok will do tommorow GN [04:02] hello, what does this mean ? [04:02] https://la.wentropy.com/VFWC [04:03] that error says you are on an outdated ubuntu [04:04] g++ 4:4.4.3 is from the 14.04 era [04:14] ok [04:49] passwd says my password is too simple [04:49] how do i override? [04:49] bleb: choose a more-complex password [04:52] EdFletcherT137: i was wondering how to override that requirement [04:53] bleb: you asked the same question in #xubuntu, where i answered it. [04:59] tomreyn: see there [06:06] does anyone have a guide on how to make ubuntu interace look like microsoft windows interface? Something like what kali linux is doing with kali-undercover? [06:10] hmm E: The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-toolchain-r/test/ubuntu disco Release' does not have a Release file. [06:10] why is that [06:11] oxek: I've used this before: https://github.com/vmavromatis/gnome-layout-manager [06:31] hi is there a nice program for labelling pictures . . . eg. quickly drawing lines on a picture that connects to a word? [06:32] Tried to use resize2fs on a ubuntu volume group. Now i'm getting ata6 interface fatal error non stop. Does that mean the disk i tried to add is bad [06:33] boat --(line)------> (image of boat) [06:34] dock---(line)--------> (picture of dock) [06:36] or if I had a picture of a motherboard . . . I could for example quickly draw lines from CPU to the word CPU, USB port to the word USB port etc etc [06:37] the default app i was thinking was gimp . . . maybe there is an addon or something let me check === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [07:29] Hello anyone familiar with working wit vg === export_ is now known as export [08:47] Lightning calendar Thunderbird addon stopped working with Google calendar today. Anyone else run into the same problem? [08:52] Found the answer already: Provider for Google Calendar (the compatibility plugin) is not compatible with the latest version of TB.

[10:47] is it possible to install the library that provides libdrm.a ? [10:48] perhaps building it by myself? [10:51] amosbird: sudo apt install libdrm-dev [10:51] tomreyn: no .a [10:51] it's dropped [10:52] not from my release, you didnt specify one [11:03] tomreyn: huh? [11:05] amosbird: libdrm-dev on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS does provide libdrm.a [11:13] tomreyn: I see [11:13] it doesn't on disco [11:45] does chrome/chromium or firefox support hardware accelerated video playback with Nvidia cards? [11:45] specifically VP9 codec [11:52] murthy, it has an option to use hardware acceleration when available [11:52] on my computer is on [11:52] I think it's the default [11:52] LuckyMan: are you using a nvidia graphics card? [11:53] nope [11:53] LuckyMan: which browser? [11:53] chromium [11:53] it's on advanced options [11:53] LuckyMan: Then definitely your video playback is not hardware accelerated [11:54] LuckyMan: see chrome://gpu [11:54] URL [11:54] maybe it works on chromium, i use chrome [11:54] LuckyMan: For Intel and AMD hardware acceleration is done with vaapi, which is disabled by default on Linux [11:54] rud0lf: what graphics? [11:55] nvidia [11:55] rud0lf: you have hardware accelerated video playback? [11:55] i have this result "Accelerated video decode is unavailable on Linux" [11:56] rud0lf: in "chrome://gpu"? [11:56] yes, under "Problems Detected" [11:57] rud0lf: Have you tried enabling the "Override software rendering list" in "chrome://flags" [11:57] i try it now [11:57] rud0lf: remember to restart the browser [11:57] murthy: hah! "Video Decode: Hardware accelerated" [11:57] rud0lf: what graphics card model? [11:58] K2100M [11:58] or M2100K [11:58] just curious, why do you need hardware accelaration to play videos? [11:58] i think the former [11:58] rud0lf, I see the same thing on my system [11:58] I play videos fine [11:58] so do I [11:58] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137247 [11:59] rud0lf: can you play a 4k video and then goto "chrome://media-internals" and see if place of "video_decoder" for the respective video it says gpu accelerated? [12:00] doug16k: thats what I am talking about, it affects vaapi, does it affect vdpau/nvidia [12:01] LuckyMan: when you play a 4k video, how much is the cpu usage? [12:01] mine is rtx 2060 super, if you're asking if I see that on nvidia, yes [12:02] where can i find 4k video, murthy ? [12:02] rud0lf: youtube [12:03] video_decoder entry says "VpxVideoDecoder" [12:04] it all it does [12:04] I'm playing a 4k video on youtube, but I have jumps on firefox, but I think it's because I'm on ADSL [12:05] my internet connection is not very good [12:05] i don't think network speed affects media playback [12:05] ? [12:05] aside of the unfamous "spinning wheel" or whatever youtube uses to show buffering [12:05] it usually buffers all it needs [12:06] doug16k: I am having the Intel HD630 internal gpu. Since the vaapi drivers are buggy, most/all the browsers have disable vaapi, which is needed for ... [12:06] hardware accelerated video playback on Intel and AMD graphics. I would like to know whether we have hardware accelerated video playback with Nvidia cards/vdpau ... [12:06] so that I can buy a Nvidia card, specifically for vp9 codec [12:07] LuckyMan: take a look at the page "about://media-internals" [12:07] LuckyMan: once video stutters on youtube appeard on my older laptop, it had intel integrated [12:07] in my chromium it says, "Video Decode: Unavailable" [12:07] what helped, is disable hardware acceleration in advanced options, close chromium, relaunch it, then enable, and relaunch again [12:07] I just put up with it, it doesn't matter enough [12:08] rud0lf: Network speed affects media playback in case of buffering [12:08] rud0lf: ADSL is not good enough for 4k playback [12:08] murthy: yes it does, but it shouldn't cause frame skip / stuttering playback [12:08] on youtube [12:08] rud0lf: ya [12:09] doug16k: how is the cpu usage when you play a 4k video? [12:09] so if you had 100kbps connection it would sit there and buffer 99% of it then play perfect? no [12:09] doug16k: no [12:09] doug16k: youtube does not buffer like that [12:10] doug16k: It only buffers for 10 sec I think [12:10] yes, I am responding to claim that your network speed doesn't matter [12:10] doug16k: They use something called DASH or something, the video is fragmented [12:10] i have intel integrated [12:11] doug16k: ok tell me how much is the cpu usage when you play a 4k video? [12:11] LuckyMan: You said Nvidia? [12:12] 184% CPU [12:12] 3950X [12:13] I'm downloading a 4k sample and I'm going to open it with chromium [12:13] meaning 1.84 cpus in case > 100 is freaking you out :D [12:14] whole thing pegged is 3200% [12:16] hum... can't open a video file with chrome, it opens external player === Yoginth__ is now known as Yoginth [12:37] doug16k: 184% means the video playback is not hardware accelerated, It should be under 20% for 4k videos [12:40] LuckyMan: When you video is played with hardware acceleration, the "about://media-internals" should show something like this for the respective video https://www.pcsuggest.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/chromium_GpuVideoDecoder.png [12:40] video can be either H264 , H265 or even MPEG-2 at 4K resolution [12:40] so playback performance and acceleration will vary by system and system configuration [12:40] also the graphics card should support the codec [12:40] ya [12:41] meaning, in a nut shell...just because sally, and johnny have poor / great performance ...doesn't mean michael will/won't [12:41] you can't use someone else's system as a measuring stick for your own 4K playback preformance [12:41] performance [12:41] in a nutshell [12:42] take care and have a great day [12:42] I had owned a nvidia card, threw that because freesoftware people said open source is good and better, now when I use Intel with open source drivers, It of no use, now people what me to buy Nvidia card [12:43] tatertots: We are not benchmarking, we are trying to find If hardware acceleration is enabled for nvidia/vdpau cards for browsers on Linux [12:43] murthy, I get very low cpu usage in 4k playback, but not though browser player though [12:44] doug16k: 4k playback with media players works out of box in Ubuntu [12:44] doug16k: no problem at all [12:44] yes [12:44] it's a chrome issue [12:44] doug16k: You are having a nvidia card right? [12:44] yes, 2060 super [12:45] Hiyas all [12:47] murthy, in firefox I get under one cpu usage [12:48] BluesKaj: hello, how are you? [12:49] doug16k: cpu usage percentage? [12:49] hey murthy, fine here, and you? [12:49] BluesKaj: I am fine too [12:50] murthy, about 70% [12:50] there is not yet any hardware acceleration support for Turing, afaik [12:50] doug16k: for a 4k video? [12:51] yes [12:51] ioria: oh [12:51] on youtube [12:51] doug16k: that is better [12:54] my screen only renders 2560x1440 [12:55] and my internet connection is slow, I can only see videos on youtube without jumping on HD down [13:46] Is there any way to make the activities menu do math expressions? [13:47] being able to do math in the launcher is something I use all the time on other systems [13:52] mort, there should be some old extensions for that [13:54] ioria: I didn't find anything by searching for "math" on the gnome shell extensions website [13:58] mort search for 'calc' [13:59] Isn't that what programming languages are for? [14:00] not when you wanna do 730/3 and be done with it a second later [14:04] leden: there's one extension which looks relevant, which is called "Calculator", but the shell version dropdown only contains really old versions of gnome and the listing in ubuntu software only has one review, "doesn't work on Ubuntu 19" [14:07] Question - have a situation where I’d prefer to move a hard drive with an Ubuntu install (16) from one Dell machine to another. Slightly different version, but still an Optiplex series. New machine boots up fine with no issues with the old hard drive installed, however my NIC isn’t detected - only the loopback comes back in an ifconfig. Tried the steps I could find Google’ing - but looks like I don’t have a 70-persistent file to modi [14:07] etc, so a little stuck. Any suggestions? [14:10] simplydrew_: post URL from terminal for> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 0200 | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:11] jeremy31: will that work even though I don’t have network conectivity? [14:12] simplydrew_: probably not, I thought you may have tethered to a smart phone [14:12] just check> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 0200 [14:19] jeremy31: nothing returned with that [14:19] simplydrew_: try> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net [14:22] jeremy31: nothing for that either. lspci -nnk without the grep filter returns a few lines. taking a picture of the output due to lack of copy/paste [14:23] jeremy31: https://m.imgur.com/a/C6mokcD [14:24] simplydrew_: Any BIOS setting for the ethernet? [14:25] jeremy31: will check now - don’t think I have onboard ethernet specifically disabled or anything [14:25] simplydrew_: strange that no network device is found [14:26] jeremy31: well, just as my luck would have it, onboard NIC was disabled in the BIOS somehow. strange. rebooting now to see if it comes up [14:26] all the turkey yesterday must have gotten to my head [14:27] jeremy31: enabled now, but ifconfig still returns loopback only [14:28] check the commands again [14:31] jeremy31: https://imgur.com/a/t6aNPmK [14:32] simplydrew_: I can't see the entire result, but try> sudo ifconfig elp2s0 up [14:33] jeremy31: viola! awesome. online now [14:34] jeremy31: thanks for the help [14:34] simplydrew_: Did you use the interfaces file for the connection when the drive was in the other PC? [14:34] jeremy31: /etc/network/interfaces? yes, I did [14:35] simplydrew_: you may need to change it so the interface is elp2s0 rather than what the other machine may have had [14:36] jeremy31: okay, will do that [14:38] what player can play x265 files on an older laptop [14:42] doesnt VLC play those? [14:42] should be [14:42] might need a free codex [14:45] free codex compdoc ?
