[00:00] Bashing-om: I have the `nvidia-prime` package, I just don't know what the actual program name is [00:01] BlueProtoman: And my communications skills can realy reek :P [00:03] Bashing-om: To answer your question, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VpDSkGDcxj [00:09] BlueProtoman: As there is "ii mate-optimus" -we may be at the extent of what I can help with. I have no mate experience. [00:10] Bashing-om: I think that's just an applet indicator [00:14] BlueProtoman: Beats me - but we can clean the system up a bit more: dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P . [00:14] mate-optimus [00:14] Bashing-om: What does that do? [00:15] BlueProtoman: While there is no built in way to remove all of your configuration information from your removed packages you can remove all configuration data from every removed package. To purge all removed but not yet purged packages, where The state is rc, the package is removed, but the config files are not removed. [00:17] Bashing-om: So that won't uninstall any software? [00:17] what is the difference between regular and single here? https://irc.kinghat.info/uploads/4022634ff29542e7/IMG_20191221_181727.jpg [00:18] kinghat, 'single' boots into single user mode [00:18] single must be rescue mode [00:18] kinghat, pretty much yes! [00:18] BlueProtoman: You are most advised to *KNOW* what a command does. Google away :). As stated removes the configfiles of removed programs. [00:22] Bashing-om: Noted. Thank you. [00:22] ugh my system is jacked. at least grub super disk got me back in [00:23] i really dont want to wipe everything and start fresh just to fix grub [00:29] i just tried boot-repair and it said: " [00:29] You can now reboot your computer. [00:29] Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sdb1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file!" [00:30] how do i know which that is in bios as i have a few entries in there that im sure are just borked/old/unused [00:32] interesting, normally one would have 1 efi partition on the sda drive. [00:33] i have many drives. this OS probably wasnt the first. === rickybob is now known as lsdome === lsdome is now known as rickybob [00:36] none of my BIOS options work [00:36] 😥 [00:39] so now my super grub USB won't load [00:39] incredible obstacles [00:41] https://irc.kinghat.info/uploads/511eda55982c3467/IMG_20191221_184055.jpg [00:46] can't I just remove grub and whatever and just boot to the OS directly? [00:47] then I can wipe and reinstall the OS later when I have time? [00:49] Ever since I have put my SSD with Xubuntu 19.10 into machine with AMD 7850 graphics card, I can't make it work after normal booting, but only after going into recovery and mounting root and setting network. [00:49] Then I only get 1024X768 and no radeon nor amdgpu driver working [00:50] I were previously using same card, then for some time used intel integrated cards and would like to get back using amd card again. [00:53] I need some help with XRDP... I'm trying to connect with Windows 10 RDP into a fresh Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS installation/machine... been trying this for months now without success, have tried like more than 20 guides on the internet without success... I'll really appreciate some help since I'm kinda new to Linux, Thanks!!! [00:53] i remember back in 2001 when i ran an nvidia 2 gts and had 100fps in cs 1.3, then i bought amd equiv because my gts died on me after electric outtage, bought new parts, and got myself an amd, equiv of geforce 2 gts, according to sites like Sweclockers and Tomshardware. Well, booted into a fresh install of windows, installed drivers for amd, and started Counter-Strike. Had below 10 fps, up to [00:53] 15, game could hardly run. No driver fixes came out fast enough. That was my first and last ever try with AMD. [00:53] unless NVIDIA would show similar problems in some future card ofc [00:55] to me putting anything called AMD in a PC is like buying a Fiat vs an Ferrari [00:55] could ofc enjoy both rides [00:55] depending on what you want out of it [00:57] I AMD has open drivers. That should end AMD vs Nvidia. [00:58] I have now found about switcheroo-control that uses environmental variables to run only certainf apps with faster 3D capablke card and resto of the show by default with integrated graphics. Sounds like wnat I need, except the need to tincle with variables per APP [01:04] nikolam yes in most cases it would, to me, this is just me and my personal oppinion of amd, nothing to do with anyone elses oppinion, but to me, that amd has open drivers is like a Vazz Lada or Fiat having open free service or something and Ferrari having an expensive service. Id still take a Ferrari over a Vaz Lada any day.....its not a good comparison, but the best i can muster. You go with AMD, i stick with NVIDIA, some like [01:04] apples another a pear, whos to say which is the best for someone else. Im convinced NVIDIA is best for me. And for those reasons. [01:05] it's not about opinions, it's about technical support for ubuntu users. [01:06] And this user is not using your card. [01:06] hehe sorry nikolam, nvm me [01:07] merry xmas btw [01:09] help with xrdp please? [01:09] dzragon: see if you have something amd-like (radeon, amdgpu, fglrx) blacklisted in /etc/mod* [01:10] oh this actually was for nikolam ^ sorry [01:10] ALi3naTEd0, I haven't been using XRDP for some time.. after I discovered ssh -X Sorry that didn't answer your question yet. [01:11] :( [01:11] thanks anyway nikolam [01:11] ALi3naTEd0 There are several guides available. Is there a specific step you are having a problem with? [01:11] tomreyn, tomreyn could be, let me take a look [01:12] I have tried more than 20 guides without success [01:12] ALi3naTEd0, some tips 'troubleshooting'. https://websiteforstudents.com/connect-from-windows-10-to-ubuntu-18-10-18-04-16-04-with-xrdp-rremote-desktop-protocol-rdp/ [01:13] I've tried that [01:13] then i guess it is a windows issue, some antivirus something? [01:13] the blue windows hangs in there [01:13] ALi3naTEd0, what would help, is you told us what the problem is... I know that I'm not capable of telepathy yet [01:14] tomreyn, Threre's blacklist radeonfb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf , don't know if it is related [01:14] no antivirus [01:14] ALi3naTEd0, details of what you have tried, what commands you are using, etc... all of that would help us to help you figure out what might not be working [01:14] when I try to connect on windows via RDP to the machine, RDP gets stuck at a bluescreen pragmaticenigma [01:15] ALi3naTEd0: Xrdp is properly pre-configured on the Ubuntu images in the Hyper-V Quick Create gallery, you could take a look at those [01:15] nikolam: radeonfb blacklisting is by default, should be fine [01:15] matlock, This is XRDP client, not server [01:15] don't understand matlock [01:15] I'll try rebooting and put display over Intel graphics, to see if switcheroo package helps [01:16] nikolam: show a complete journalctl -b from when you boot normally and it falls back to vesa (low resolution / performance) [01:17] nikolam: you'd want to use DRI_PRIME and / or xrandr --set-provider for switching, not vga switcheroo, i'd think [01:20] tomreyn, it starts booting and display distribution logo, but then only displays.. scanning disks and that's it. [01:20] tomreyn, ok uninstalled switcheroo [01:21] nikolam: so show a log for a default boot where it's failing. when it stops booting, try ctrl-alt-del, or if this doesn'T work, sysrq-SUB. then, after rebooting to graphical mode, post journalctl -b -1 | nc termbin.com 9999 [01:24] here pragmaticenigma https://pastebin.com/6s42GQMs [01:24] I just did that, rebooting [01:24] and trying again [01:25] [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module and [drm:amdgpu_init [amdgpu]] *ERROR* VGACON disables amdgpu kernel modesetting. https://pastebin.com/cL46Zshv [01:26] holy cow, it connected but got stuck asking me my password on linux machine don't know why [01:27] now I get this message like most of the times I have tired.... https://i.imgur.com/HOC9Wms.png [01:27] so it's not working.... [01:27] nikolam: this is not a log of a standard boot. it's a recovery boot [01:28] ALi3naTEd0, why aren't you using the already included Remote Desktop viewer app? [01:28] ALi3naTEd0, maybe local X server is set to accept only connections from local host? (me just guessing) [01:29] tomreyn, yes, let me reboot and see if I get picture on intel graphics instead, if there no one on amd side [01:29] ok I noticed the problem is I have to put the username in lowercase [01:30] now I'm stuck here: https://i.imgur.com/t3z0wPW.png pragmaticenigma [01:30] remote desktop viewer? [01:32] remote desktop viewer is to see windows on linux, I'm trying the other way around.... [01:33] so there are RDP daemons for linux now? [01:33] or do you mean this? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-remote-desktop/9wzdncrfj3ps?activetab=pivot:overviewtab [01:34] now and for the past 10 or so years [01:35] so you can access your whole X11 session, over RDP, really? [01:36] * 15 years [01:38] tomreyn, thanks for suggestions, I managed now to boot regularly, system were putting output only to Intel graphics. [01:38] https://pastebin.com/CVfqWWDY [01:39] Did not put lightdm on console 7, but I logged in on intel graphics on console 1 and did startx [01:40] I bet other graphics is disabled somewhere in the system.. [01:40] ALi3naTEd0, since you haven't told me or this channel what exactly you're trying to do... I'm giving up. you need to provide all the details about what you are trying to do, what are all the parts that are involved, configurations that you have setup, etc... [01:40] nikolam: can you boot without vt.handoff=7, too? [01:41] sorry if I wasn't clear.... [01:41] nikolam: i'd really like to know whether a default boot works [01:41] tomreyn, great, let me. [01:42] my current machine is a windows 10, but I have an old machine where I'm trying to use linux and connect via RDP with my windows machine to that machine with ubuntu pragmaticenigma [01:43] why not use vnc over ssh, ALi3naTEd0 [01:43] idk what's that [01:45] in fact after "connecting" with rdp, ubuntu installation breaks... uh! [01:46] have to re-install... [01:47] doubt it [01:47] annocent, if they're on the same network, there is no reason to tunnel [01:49] ALi3naTEd0, While RDP is possible. It's not as well implemented as other alternatives such as VNC. VNC is simply an alternative to RDP. Ubuntu Desktop comes preset to allow VNC remote desktop sessions [01:49] assuming everyone with access to that network are friends, yes. That's not always the case. Might be spies on the line, and on his local network [01:50] what do I use to connect to a linux machine via VNC? virtualbox or something like that? [01:51] ALi3naTEd0, there are a bunch of different clients. TightVNC is a popular choice, RealVNC, UltraVNC are also alternative VNC vieweres [01:56] tomreyn, https://pastebin.com/WdvxYsAE [01:58] nikolam: ah, you made it. i'll check the log shortly and get back to you. in the meantime have a look at your bios version: "Hewlett-Packard HP ProDesk 600 G1 TWR/18E7, BIOS L01 v02.05 06/10/2013" (taken from your log) and the latest available one: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-prodesk-600-g1-tower-pc/5387438 [01:58] better link: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/swdetails/hp-prodesk-600-g1-tower-pc/5387438/swItemId/vc-229760-1 [01:59] you're on the oldest one there is [02:06] nikolam: there's no X initialization on your log. which systemd target doyou boot to by default? [02:15] nikolam: looks like you're no longer around. if you want to diagnose this further later, i'd still like to see the log of a default boot (2nd reminder ;-) ), i.e. to graphical desktop if you use this as a desktop. so set the systemd default target to its default value, consider using gdm unless you're on a different ubuntu flavor which defaults to lightdm, and re-post the log. starting X using startx is not necessarily the same, so this may just [02:15] not work for you. === zbenjamin is now known as Guest15665 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [03:06] qq all [04:58] Howdy. Anyone using the Vanilla Gnome? I was wondering if it gets updated the same way the "Ubuntu" gnome does or if the packaged a lagging a bit behind? [05:17] Hello, anyone here? [05:17] raziel_: nope. [05:18] raziel_: Just Us chickens [05:18] lol, I'm trying to install nvidia drivers in linux mint 19.3. What would be the best server for help [05:18] !mint | raziel_ [05:18] raziel_: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [05:18] raziel_: unofficial derivatives are not supported here. they're over on spotchat. [05:19] raziel_: hexchat on LM is preconfigured to connect to their support. [05:19] Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob. [05:20] raziel_: All in that process of learning :) [05:20] Thanks guys. See ya later ;) [06:39] hello [06:40] snap is a failure. Why do I need to copy config files to /etc manually. Ugh. [07:05] telnet postcard.sfconservancy.org 2333 [08:28] Hi [08:29] anyone know how to get past: "It is not possible to reset this account's password." on Ubuntu login SSO? [08:33] foofighter: we don't support the websites, only the os [08:33] ok, do you know who to ask for the SSO? [08:34] i think there is a channel, but can't recall the name. you can search with alis [08:35] there we arem #ubuntu-website [08:35] foofighter: ^^ [08:44] thanks [08:45] Hi [08:50] Can i install Ubuntu on my windows laptop ? [08:53] you might wanna tryubunto? [10:11] What vm software is everyone using? I need to create two or three vms. Virtualbox is not working for me and kvm has also given me issues. Is there anything else I can use for this? Host is Ubuntu 18.04 [10:25] corshmock: I use Virtualbox. :/ [10:26] forgive me - this is offtopic but where do I ask snap related questions? [10:27] Thanks elias_a, but Virtualbox is giving me major problems [10:28] corshmock: what isues do you have with virtualbox? [10:29] aiena: #snapcraft [10:29] thanks sixwheeledbeast^ [10:29] or #snappy [10:30] ok [10:33] is 7zip available for ubuntu 18.04? [10:33] aiena: I think the install of Red Hat and Centos are having gpu issues [10:33] Why would you need 7zip? [10:34] because I have a .7z file [10:34] oh hmm corshmock yeah virtualbox especially if compiled by you can be a pain when there are proprietary GPU drivers involved like nvidia etc. [10:34] https://imgur.com/a/XlQZfMC [10:35] I installed p7zip-full and now the archive manager can open it [10:35] The strange thing is Centos was working perfectly on this same machine as host yesterday. I installed Ubuntu and tried to create vms and that was when the issues started [10:36] corshmock, may I ask what the problems are VB is causing you? [10:36] Hi IaMnEwHeRe [10:36] Can you see the pastebin I just posted? [10:36] nope, [10:36] https://imgur.com/a/XlQZfMC [10:37] corshmock: hmm so this happens when the VM is started [10:37] It happens on about the last fifth of the installation [10:37] does this happen for all VMs even with ubuntu ISO's [10:37] I've only tried Red Hat and Centos because I need them for a course [10:38] Has anyone used Xen Project? [10:38] corshmock: you could try using KVM then instead of virtualbox [10:38] i.e. the linux's kernel built in virtualisation. [10:38] corshmock, have you restart ubuntu after installing VirtualBox? [10:39] also try to install guest-extensions [10:39] I was using KVM last week, but it started creating these 'pools' which I could not delete, and they were taking up a lot of diskspace. Even when I uninstalled KVM, the pools and the program were still there [10:39] do you really need a GUI , if a terminal is all you need, vagrant might be a viable alternative [10:39] IaMnEwHeRe: usually guest-additions are installed into the guest it seems he can't get the gurst os to fully install without encountering this bug [10:39] IaMnEwHeRe: I'm not sure now. [10:40] aiena, I assume the GuestOS is fully installed, otherwise he would see a boot-error, terminal output [10:40] vagrant? I can check it out. Has anyone used Xen Project? [10:41] Guest OS seems to be working fine [10:41] corshmock: hmm try to resolve the KVM problems if you can and use that if the OSs booted fine then [10:41] btw vagrant usually uses VBox, but it also be a front for Xen, docker, podman(?), and KVM [10:42] corshmock: hmm so you can get to the terminal of the guest OS but in gui mode you get those green bars? [10:42] Yeah aiena I think there might be a command to get rid of the pools so maybe that's the way to go. [10:42] corshmock: did you read https://www.tecmint.com/manage-kvm-storage-volumes-and-pools/ [10:42] aiena: no it won't fully install [10:44] No aiena but I'll read it now thanks [10:44] this may help you to clear your pools [10:44] and better manage the vm storage space allocated [10:44] try to work with kvm if you can [10:46] aiena: will do. I think someone said there is an actual command to get rid of pools? Just reading your doc now. [10:46] corshmock: commands abound but usually GUIs are a bit easier [10:47] commands are good when the gui is not capable of doing what you want or you are an advanced user willing to mess up === tds8 is now known as tds [10:48] tomreyn, thank you for your follow-op. That was regular boot, with monitor attached to Intel graphics and there is lightdm running on VT7, but no picture , and i can switch consoles, and yes, start startx. Seems like truly additional AMD graphics is somewhere turned off. I'll see with BIOS update on dual-boot and see if that helps. === tds1 is now known as tds [11:04] anyone here? [11:04] just ask [11:05] if I am using openvpn do I still need to use the system vpn config [11:05] ? [11:05] what is system vpn config? [11:05] if you go into settings > network > VPN [11:05] usually you can put your vpn-configuration into /etc/openvpn/client and start/manage it via systemd [11:05] you can configure a vpn using a config file [11:05] it all depends on how you manage your connection [11:06] NM i don't know, I use the cli, either systemd or openvpn --config ...path... [11:06] yeah me too [11:06] sudo openvpn --config foo.ovpn [11:06] then stay on the cli and switch over to systemd [11:07] at least that is what I ddi [11:07] what is systemd? [11:07] man systemd [11:07] is that for running stuff on boot? [11:07] depends on how you define "on boot" [11:08] it is an improved init-system, lots of flamewars around that one, almost religious [11:08] so what is the point of the settings > network > VPN [11:08] ? [11:09] different path to achiving your goal, boils down to workflows and taste [11:09] but openvpn has its own protocol [11:09] I don't think giving the foo.ovpn file to ubuntu will work [11:10] anyway [11:10] read up on systemd and you will understand, it is basically managing other programs [11:10] do you get this warning? Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in client-do.ovpn:13: block-outside-dns (2.4.4) [11:11] nope, my configuration-files have no formatting-problem, that sounds like s.th. you want to ask over at #openvpn [11:11] When I try to su - I get authentication failure. I installed Ubuntu yesterday and went for erase disk, but it never asked me to enter a root password? [11:12] IaMnEwHeRe, formatting problem? [11:12] corshmock on ubuntu you want to use sudo [11:12] for su to work root needs to have a password set [11:12] there are these 2 lines in the .ovpn file [11:12] ignore-unknown-option block-outside-dns [11:12] block-outside-dns [11:13] Cooler go over to #openvpn [11:13] ok [11:13] IaMnEwHeRe, how are you blocking DNS? [11:14] https://askubuntu.com/questions/946572/options-error-unrecognized-option-or-missing-parameters-in-push-options1 [11:14] script-security 2 [11:14] up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf [11:14] down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf [11:14] like that? [11:14] Thanks IaMnEwHeRe, how do I get to /etc/network/interfaces [11:14] * IaMnEwHeRe ignores Cooler [11:14] there aren't that many people around now that it's almost christmas [11:14] corshmock what do you mean? [11:17] It's okay IaMnEwHeRe, I got it. I'm following instructions to install kvm [11:17] :+1: [11:43] hello, i'm trying to install some packages and i receive these unmet dependencies errror, https://pastebin.com/Csheqagv [11:43] how do I fix them? [11:49] ramsub07, apt update before the install? [11:49] IaMnEwHeRe i tried it. didn't work [11:52] have you explicitely intalled/locked certain packages? [11:52] IaMnEwHeRe https://pastebin.com/0cUcQuzC this is the chain of outputs [11:53] IaMnEwHeRe what do you mean by explicit installation? I don't remember locking any packages [11:54] PPA or explicit version(dunno about the last one but it mightbe that apt does not update it then) however see here https://askubuntu.com/questions/671791/lib32stdc6-package-depends-on-gcc-base-but-my-installed-version-is-newer [11:58] i think it's the case of a deleted PPA IaMnEwHeRe [11:59] :+1: [12:11] ramsub07: try apt-cache policy gcc-8-base [12:11] it shoudl show from where it's wanting to install 8.3 version [12:12] EriC^^ : http://dpaste.com/0VTK3B4 [12:13] !info gcc-8-base bionic [12:13] gcc-8-base (source: gcc-8): GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection (base package).

I have an usb c to ethernet adapter, plugged into an usbc to usb3 adapter, plugged into an usb3 hub, plugged into my computer :) now into this usb hub there are several other things plugged in (usb 1 HID, and usb 3 as well). however somethimes when I boot up this machine the ethernet port does not work. my solution to this is to unplug and reattach the usbc to usb3 adapter to the hub. is there a software workaround? for instance is [12:31] there a "detach and reattach this device" shell command? [12:44] Hi. how to tell if a third party repo is trusworthy? for instance, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cubic-wizard/release [12:45] twice I've tried to edit /etc/network/interfaces and twice after reboot, I couldn't get back on the internet. [12:45] Can anyone recommend a good document? [12:46] To create a bridge for KVM?

I use dell XPS where the wifi modules aren't compaitable with ubuntu drivers and every time i had a new kernel, I'd have to do this : https://support.killernetworking.com/knowledge-base/killer-ax1650-in-debian-ubuntu-16-04/ [12:57] I explicitly use older kernels now having grown tired of installing everyime ubuntu upgrades the kernel. how do i permanantly fix it? [12:58] ramsub07 you lock the package? [12:59] IaMnEwHeRe not sure what you mean by it, but maybe i'd have done it ignorantly ? [12:59] ramsub07: in terminal> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-hwe-team/backport-iwlwifi [12:59] ramsub07 apt-mark hold [13:00] ramsub07: the update on the ax1650 page doesn't work? [13:00] Wahey! I think I've got me bridge working! [13:01] jeremy31 http://dpaste.com/2RQZ5ZC [13:01] corshmock: good deal [13:01] ramsub07: > dkms status | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:01] i'm on 5.0.0.31 and the wifi module seems to be working. but ubuntu has installed a few more kernels on top of this, for which the wifi module doesn't work [13:02] Thanks tatertots. I'll get this lab set up if it kills me! [13:02] jeremy31 was that supposed to return something ?\\ [13:02] ramsub07: try just> dkms status [13:03] jeremy31 http://dpaste.com/1TEFT60 [13:03] ramsub07: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-hwe-team/backport-iwlwifi [13:04] IaMnEwHeRe i have nothing locked (from apt-mark hold output) [13:04] jeremy31 done and also did apt-get update [13:05] ramsub07: then> sudo apt-get install backport-iwlwifi-dkms [13:06] ramsub07: that command might take some time [13:12] How do I set a partition name? [13:13] Not a partition label [13:13] But a partition name [13:16] proneon267: https://superuser.com/questions/1099232/what-is-the-difference-between-a-partition-name-and-a-partition-label [13:17] EriC^^: but how do I name a partition like what is the command for it? [13:18] proneon267: do you have gpt or msdos? [13:19] I am currently on a live Linux image [13:19] Unable to complete install: 'Cannot get interface MTU on 'br0': No such device' [13:20] What do I have to do to just create a simple VM [13:20] proneon267: an easy way is to run the program disks and click on the partition -> cog gear and change the filesystem label or if you're using gpt you can click on edit partition and change the label/name [13:21] File system label doesn't change the partition name [13:21] I have tried it [13:21] yo [13:21] proneon267: type "sudo blkid /dev/sdx" replacing sdx with your disk [13:22] is PTTYPE gpt or msdos? [13:22] Dos [13:22] proneon267: then you don't have partition labels only fs labels [13:22] ramsub07: has the command finished? [13:23] KVM is horrible [13:23] EriC^^: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/HqAvujXw/irccloudcapture895823182975443281.jpg [13:24] EriC^^: see partition name is blank but partition label is present [13:25] EriC^^: I want to set the partition name [13:27] proneon267: As EriC already explained, there is no way to store a partition label on an "(ms)dos" (AKA "mbr") partition table. you would need to destroy the partition table, thus all data on the disk, and create a gpt partition table, to be able to set partition labels. [13:28] proneon267: read the first link i posted, it explains labels and partition tables [13:29] Ok but then why is there the partition label? [13:30] proneon267: bad gui programming? [13:30] Oh [13:30] Anyway thanks for helping [13:30] no problem [13:30] proneon267: (Only) if you're going to destroy your partition table (and thus all data stored on the disk), replacing it by a GPT one then this becomes possible: On a gpt partitioned storage device named DISK you can assign the name NAME to the existing partition PARTITION using sudo parted /dev/disk/by-id/DISK -s -- name PARTITION NAME [13:31] Should I try it anyway? [13:32] Has anyone had this horrible issue on KVM? Unable to complete install: 'Cannot get interface MTU on 'br0': No such device' [13:32] Possible data loss? [13:33] Please help [13:33] proneon267: there's no way it could work, so there's no use in trying, and in risking data loss. [13:34] proneon267: it's literally impossible [13:34] *shrug* [13:34] corshmock: hmm [13:34] aiena: I think Linux hates me :) [13:34] Thanks EriC^^ tomreyn [13:35] corshmock: linux hates and loves everyone its loving and compassionate to those who are patient and loving and compassionate to it only. [13:35] corshmock: try restarting the libvirtd daemon [13:35] service libvirtd restart [13:36] service libvirtd restart aiena, yeah I've done that twice [13:36] u know I only use virtualbox because I struggle with KVM myself haha (: [13:36] even though the linux guru's say virtualbox is responsible for a majority of linux kernel bugs .... [13:37] corshmock: googling will eventually help you I think [13:37] Yeah kvm is really horrible [13:38] You're making me feel better that you have issues with it too [13:38] I have had my fair share of spending 20 hours trying to troubleshoot certain problems and then sleeping over it to find out rest makes you a genius [13:38] Well last nights sleep didn't do anything for me. [13:38] kvm needs root priviledges for certain things and that is frustrating [13:38] I dont like living in root land for very long and you know why [13:39] In case you do damage? [13:39] well that is one reason [13:39] the other reason is setting up the whole distro after a goof up [13:39] build deps etc etc etc. [13:40] serious damage is very rare but in root anything can happen with a small typo [13:40] I get you [13:40] I have to rebuild on a regular basis :) [13:40] corshmock: I always keep root and home on separate partitions so rescue is very easy [13:41] Please don't mention partitions :) [13:41] corshmock: linux is beautiful and terrifying because it gives you ultimate power [13:42] I love it because its so easy to cobble together custom tools for whatever I need. [13:42] I need to get some vm software working. Vmware won't do it because I think you can only run one vm at a time [13:43] i think vmware has a baremetal hypervisor too but that time you need 2 machines [13:43] No use. Have you ever used xen project? [13:43] one machine to control the baremetal one as all oses run ontop of it [13:44] no [13:44] corshmock: virtualbox has always worked excellently for me so I never had the need to switch [13:44] corshmock: another option for running vm's is by using docker and creating docker containers [13:45] all options are so different though that you need some blood sweat and tears to learn each [13:45] virtualbox is very easy to adopt, kvm and docker work very differently [13:46] you already have done the blood and sweat part with kvm you will eventually succeed I think [13:46] kvm is an amazing hypervisor, why would you not use it ? [13:46] ikonia: he is using it [13:47] he has just experienced a heavy curtain he is trying to open with it [13:47] perhaps you can help him [13:47] no idea, [13:47] his query was `Has anyone had this horrible issue on KVM? Unable to complete install: 'Cannot get interface MTU on 'br0': No such device'` [13:47] unable to complete install 'cannot get interface mtu on 'br0' no such device' [13:47] it looks like something to do with networking and kvm [13:47] so the obvious question, is the bridge device there ? [13:48] ikonia: if you only knew how funny that is [13:48] KVM has me killed [13:48] relax i think ikonia can help [13:48]
