[00:56] Bashing-om, problem still unsolved..any suggestions so far?, after reading couples of articles i can see the problem is drivers conflict [00:59] Rossenburg: Remind me of what we are working :) [01:00] just installed Nvidia-340 from Software & Updates, but havent restarted pc cause the same thing may happen... dpkg -l | grep nvidia gives me https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/NcjJ2PFTWK/ [01:01] we were working on solving my pc getting stucked at colored splashed screen and turns back to blank screen whiles monitor is on after anything i install nvidia drivers [01:01] Rossenburg: looking ^ . [01:02] the pc works completely fine with the default nouvea graphics, but any time i try to update the graphics to nvidia in other to run certain programs and games, it get stuck after reboot [01:03] !info nvidia-settings bionic [01:03] nvidia-settings (source: nvidia-settings): Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver. In component main, is optional. Version 390.77-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic), package size 922 kB, installed size 3149 kB [01:03] Rossenburg: ^^ what release is this ? [01:05] it came along with the nvidia-340 installation, when i type nvidia-settings in terminal it gives certain error, i think maybe because i have reboot, the drivers installation is still incomplete [01:06] Rossenburg: I am concerned that "418.56-0ubuntu0~gpu18.04.1" installed - so again what release is this ? [01:07] nvidia-settings gives https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ny3r262kBx/ [01:08] Rossenburg: UN-Good "Failed to execute child process “/usr/bin/prime-supported”" [01:09] Xubuntu 18.04 [01:10] Rossenburg: Humm..Pastebin a new ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' [01:20] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nHyHHqzYpk/ Bashing-om [01:23] Rossenburg94: And what are you "developing" that you have binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu and linux-libc-dev:amd64 installed ? [01:24] that wasnt installed manually, i dont think i was the one who installed [01:28] Rossenburg94: Let's see what is going to happen IF removed ' sudo apt -s remove --purge binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu '. The '-s' is simulate. [01:29] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/83MDN5KNtM/ [01:36] Rossenburg94: That appears to be the culprit. Ready to live dangerously ? [01:37] lmao, yeah ready! :D === Kumool is now known as Monev [01:39] Rossenburg94: Going to wreck havoc with the programming environmnet - If you do find you need a tool can always be reinstalled. we deal with binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu, and then linux-libc-dev:amd64. [01:40] okay [01:41] Rossenburg94: Run 'sudo apt remove --purge binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu '. [01:44] executed, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jbzp6Y6Y9H/ [01:44] got rid of nvidia-340 too i guess [01:44] Rossenburg94: looking. [01:47] Rossenburg94: So far so good -who wudda thunk it ?OK now ' sudo apt remove --purge linux-libc-dev:amd64'. Then we look at Nvidia. [01:48] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cWcpyzwnTG/ [01:50] Rossenburg94: Looks good too. OK what have we Nvidia wise ? ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ; lsmod | grep nvidia'. [01:52] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QRZ3VCwgQW/ [01:53] Rossenburg94: Humm ..and lsmod ? [01:54] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Bnj4CnB7B6/ [01:58] Rossenburg94: "nouveau 1871872 3" so we know that nvidia never did build/load. We make sure nvidia is purged:' sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* ' then look again at ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia '. Small steps will get there :) [02:00] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QhZRtrv3Ts/ (sudo apt remove --purge nvidia*) [02:01] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2BBP6Jcs6W/ [02:02] :) [02:04] Rossenburg94: ' sudo apt remove libcuda1-340 '. [02:06] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VfmxqdHGC5/ [02:06] dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia shows nothing now, looks like everything "nvidia" is removed :) [02:10] Rossenburg94: Bite the bullet for this surgical strike; We now run ' sudo apt --purge autoremove ' as the package manager suggestes. fingers crossed and reboot ! [02:12] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3qNvqqkprg/ [02:12] rebooting [02:16] rebooted Bashing-om === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:18] Rossenburg: Great -good to see you ! now let's try' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' Where you know that secure boot is not enabled ! [02:20] theres xorg.config.d/ folder at /etc/X11/ , will that cause a mess or it should be removed [02:21] i added it personally to help prevent the screen flickering and glitches [02:22] Rossenburg: remove it - [02:22] Rossenburg: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf ? [02:23] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.config.d/2-intel.conf will only remove the file in there, how can i remove de whole folder [02:23] Rossenburg: You do not want to remove the whole folder. [02:24] sorry i mean /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nvidia.conf not available [02:25] no 10-nvidia.conf file [02:26] Rossenburg: Hey ! I checked and YES that directory does not exist on my system. sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.config.d . [02:26] sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf is removed [02:28] the whole folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d is gone now [02:28] TY [02:28] Rossenburg: Anything else nvidia in /etc/X11/xorg.config.d ? [02:29] no :) [02:29] should i go on with sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ? [02:30] Rossenburg: Yup :)..fingers again crossed. I expect now that the install will install a ton ! [02:30] executed! , in progress :D [02:37] completed Bashing-om [02:38] Rossenburg: Reboot and let's see that you come up on nvidia :D [02:39] :D brb [02:42] Off topic. Has anyone tried Minux? [02:43] Of all things it dosen't see the = equal key or the + plus key? [03:13] Got a workaround using putty ssh and telnet into it. = & scrollback works. [14:38] I have a usability problem: When I fling up or down using touchpad, and after releasing my fingers press some modifier key, the fling command may change. How can you disable that? [14:39] For example, if I have the compositor enabled in Windows Manager Tweaks, and I press (maybe unintionally) alt key, the system will zoom UI. [15:24] This is also annoying when using Chromium when you press ctrl after flinging. [23:09] Hi
