So i dig further until i find out i just had the wrong lead. today im lucky- i found it quick. [01:13] ::sigh:: [01:13] thanks for the ears though!

[01:58] sarnold apt fails [01:59] Casper26: how about 'ua status'? does that do anything useful? [02:02] sarnold: Not that i can tell [02:04] Casper26: is esm.ubuntu.com in the configured sources? [02:05] how do i download a firefox send file? [02:06] sarnold: No [02:08] Casper26: hmm; perhaps this machine hasn't been enrolled into ESM yet [02:24] ProgRam, I would assume you need to open the link with Firefox (likely the latest version) which will recognize the link and provide you with a dialog to download the file locally [02:25] hello, trying to install a package called "ls++" I performed a "sudo apt-get install ls++", somehow it managed to mark tons of package as candidate to be installed, also raising lots of conflicts and a beautiful "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." at the end [02:25] ProgRam, Or look at the help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/send-files-anyone-securely-firefox-send [02:26] nothing started to download or install. My shell is "zsh". I would appreciate any suggestion about what could have happened and if there is any way to say apt that I no longer want to install a thing [02:27] fcanela, you will have to file a bug on launchpad [02:27] I will try to reproduce my steps later in a virtual machine to ensure there is something wrong in Ubuntu and not my setup [02:28] currently I am trying to get my system back to normal and understand what happened [02:28] !info ls++ [02:28] fcanela, I attempted to run the same command and got a screen full of dependency issues [02:28] uw-mailutils (source: uw-imap): c-client support programs.

You'll need to contact the developer for support [02:31] leftyfb: yes, it seems so, no worries about that, I can install it manually... but I didn't expected the party that apt started when running the command [02:32] fcanela, looking through all the text... the "+" symbol is a wild card... by issuing the command ls++ you are attempting to install all aplications with "ls" in them [02:32] $ apt-cache show ls++ | grep ^Package | wc -l [02:32] 2741 [02:32] I knew this 'lets treat it as a regex' thing was a bad idea the first time I heard about it [02:32] boy that'll do some damage [02:32] oh, nice insight! that makes sense, thanks! [02:33] I suppose it's always nice having some ls tooling (/s) [02:33] fcanela, Are you attempting to install LS_COLORS? [02:34] curiosly g++ doesn't raise any problem [02:34] I just wanted to try this package: https://github.com/trapd00r/ls-- [02:34] that package name exists, so it doesn't fall back to regex [02:34] g++ succeeds because there is an exact match [02:35] in the install instructions it suggest installing via apt as I did [02:36] My MB does not detect my Ubuntu ESP partition.

[10:12] lotuspsychje: yeah, we swa that but it isn't in the archives any more (if it ever was) [10:22] HI. I have ubuntu 18.04 desktop intel machine with intel for VGA and NVidia K20 for GPU (no output port, only for calculations). I am trying to install cuda on this machine. I tried installing nvidia-cuda-toolkit package with apt but it doesn't turn ON the cuda, samples failed and no vidia driver was installed with it. I tried https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux/index.html guide. Installation works . nvidia-smi shows Tesla k20c off [10:22] driver version 418.87 . I was not able to login via gdm. Diabled gdm. tried startx . Error is Fatal server error No screen found . How to solve this? [10:23] Kernel version is 5 [10:31] gulzar: doublecheck your steps with https://ingowald.blog/installing-the-latest-nvidia-driver-cuda-and-optix-on-linux-ubuntu-18-04/ [10:32] think that might be a sane tutorial [10:33] gulzar: also dont use startx, thats not reccomended anymore these days [10:34] lotuspsychje: this tut is different. I followed offical nvidia guide. Will try these steps also. [10:34] lotuspsychje: how to startx? [11:17] tried that tut. it's ultimtely the same thing. Same error, no screen found [11:19] when I lower the brightness from maximum, screen making some noise [11:19] I have AMD Radeon graphics [11:24] anyone can help with intel VGA and nvidia cuda? Can't do startx. Screen found butn one have a usable confiuration No screen found. [11:42] hi folks [11:52] Whenever I change brightness to low, sometimes it makes noisy sound, very low but can be heard. It didn't happen when I had windows installed, what could be the issue? I updated all drivers? This is my first time ubuntu on physical installation [12:00] https://youtu.be/r_J1pdxVW3E [12:00] Noise can be listened in video too, and on increasing brightness to max it disappears [12:08] I think it's called "whining LCD monitor" [12:41] hi [12:42] so i just installed a 19.10 [12:42] i am having a problem with nxclient 3.5.0 [12:42] essentially it cannot connect to the server anymore [12:42] i set it up exactly in the same way as i did in my 18.04 [12:43] debugging it, it seems that the nxclient can't pick up after nxssh returns 105 [12:44] in 18.04 what happens is that the client receives from nxssh that it has connected [12:44] in 19.04 i see a "StopConnection" called [12:44] i think it must be something in the system [12:44] btw this happens with both "ubuntu" DM and plasma [12:44] so likely unrelated to the DM === beaver|b-bot is now known as beaver [13:09] !info nomachine [13:09] !info nxclient [13:09] Package nomachine does not exist in eoan [13:09] Package nxclient does not exist in eoan [13:10] pa: sorry, but nomachine/nxclient isn't available as part of the officially support packages for Ubuntu. You'll need to seek support from nomachine. [13:21] leftyfb: nomachine and nxclient are part of FreeNX ... which is(/has been) provided : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [13:22] actually correction... helps to read the documentation [13:22] pragmaticenigma: that link suggests installing from PPA [13:22] yeah... just got to that part [13:23] It's not in any of the apt or snap repo's. I looked [14:43] Hi guys [14:44] welcome lyr === lotuspsychje_ is now known as lotuspsychje [14:44] Trying to install a Dell XPS with 19.10. The "normal" live mode freeze after a minute or so, most likely the nvidia going south. The safe mode (aka nomodeset) go on a black screen before reaching live. Any idea about the latest ? [14:45] With 19.04 I managed to install using nomodeset + acpi=off, but 19.10 goes kernel panic on acpi=off [14:45] lyr: whats your card chipset please? [14:46] i7 9750H with embedded video controler UHD graphics 630 [14:47] so no nvidia graphics? [14:47] yes there's one, searching for the exact referenc [14:47] !bootlog [14:47] To get a more verbose log of the boot process, remove "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot parameters and add "debug systemd.log_level=info". For info on editing kernel boot parameters, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters [14:48] NVIDIA Quadro K3000M [14:49] that's 2012-ish apparently, so the problem won't be that it's very recent hardware, i assume [14:49] Secure boot is disabled, boot mode UEFI, and hard drive parameters whose name I forgot is AHPI [14:49] AHCI? [14:50] So "SATA mode" is not "RAID", good. [14:50] indeed tomreyn [14:50] wait, bad NVidia [14:50] looked at the bill from my previous laptop [14:50] lyr: when you say freeze, total nothing, or flickering screen, or black screen? [14:51] hehe [14:51] NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 [14:51] freeze is total when running live in normal mode : screen still displaying, nothing move [14:52] no input works at all, ctrl-c, mouse, nothing happens [14:52] gotta ahrd reset with power button [14:52] lyr: its common for GTX cards to have black screens, but normally !nomodeset can bypass this, to be able to install the proper nvidia driver [14:52] gonna try the debug systemd.log_level=info [14:54] lyr: if the stock ubuntu driver fails somehow, you can try the ubuntu graphics ppa for GTX cards [14:54] !nvidia | lyr [14:54] lyr: For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [14:57] lyr: there were some reports that people with nvidias got aroudn the black screen by choosing the "Install Ubuntu (safe graphics)" option, so booting directly to the installer, not the live disk, with the nomodeset (i.e. "safe graphics") parameter. so this is maybe the easiest thing to try. [14:57] lotuspsychje, I know about this, but I've no stable live environment to do so [14:57] s/live disk/live system/ [14:58] lyr: uefi settings can also influence your hardware, so another idea to test [14:59] yet another option would be the "recovery" parameter, to boot to the text menu, enable networking, and examine the situation furhter. [15:00] so trying live with nomodeset, I had the time to see the log reaching "Starting Gnome display manager ..." and other systemd targets like network is online, etc [15:01] going straight away for the safe graphics installation end up on a black screen too, before any menu happens [15:01] ah, pity, so "recovery" then [15:01] try to attach ethernet if you haven't [15:01] wireless is harder to get working [15:02] I know network's most likely not gonna work since there's a shitty network card (last time ever I go for a dell), but I've the fix for that [15:03] has anyone used dbus signals to check what usb device are being connected/disconnected? [15:03] lyr: by the time you reach the recovery shell: if you have a non-english keyboard layout, use the "loadkeys XX" command, replacing XX by the two letter language code [15:04] thanks for the reminder tomreyn [15:04] lyr: an usb-ethernet dongle can also help if you have that, or a smartphone set to tethering wireless, attached to the computert via usb wire. [15:05] sjt003: can you provide a bit more details of your specifix problem, whats happening to your system and usb devices exactly? [15:07] ooo kay seems I managed to dodge the kernel panic using a 18.04 live and "acpi=off nomodeset" [15:08] but that's not 19.10 ;) [15:08] but this will enable you to tell us what journalctl -b | grep 'DMI:' reports, or to post a full log journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:09] lotuspsychje: specifically need to use dbus signals to determine which device was connected, so that I can restart some services upon disconnect / reconnect. I'm able to use the dbus interface but I receive only the name of the device in major:minor format like 1:2701 or something like that. not very useful for telling which device was connected. [15:13] lyr: still around? [15:14] yes [15:14] lotuspsychje, I've been using this interface: interface=org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager; [15:15] Morning , I'm looking for a way to create a fully automated Ubuntu 16 install with extra packages but has to be offline and all network , samba / cifs shares , are already configured [15:15] lyr: so you'll install 18.04 instead? [15:15] !YY.MM | nixfreak [15:15] nixfreak: Ubuntu version numbers are: YY.MM (YY=release year,MM=release month). Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [15:16] nixfreak: Also note, if you are running Ubuntu 16.04, it is starting to move towards EOL... would recommend 18.04 for new installations [15:16] Morning , I'm looking for a way to create a fully automated Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with extra packages but has to be offline and all network , samba / cifs shares , are already configured [15:17] yeah that software is only tested for 16.04 LTS right now [15:17] tomreyn I need an OS working [15:18] I'm the SRE guy at my company & there's a new infrastructure coming out late january. My laptop bitting back at me is like irony over 9000 x___x [15:20] is this what I should be looking at ? https://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-a-completely-unattended-install-of-ubuntu [15:20] lyr: i didn't mean to citicise you for installing ubuntu 18.04 instead of 19.10, but just to understand what you're up to and whether you're still looking for assistence. [15:21] tomreyn sure, my bad, a bit jumpy atm [15:21] gosh, now that's the grub install issue [15:21] lyr: i would recommend that your company enters a commercial support contract with some entity offering that for ubuntu in the future. [15:22] nixfreak: that can work, but assumes that you have created an ISO image with all the packages you would like. Or that the system being installed has internet access [15:23] + have local support staff for your computers, so you don't need to deal with 'the basics' [15:23] yeah i need something that is a offline repo , or I can customize an iso with all packages and configurations without a net connection [15:23] nixfreak: then I think you found your answer [15:23] tomreyn on the topic, I'ld go for a safer hardware. Like system76's, or older stuff [15:23] nixfreak: not an official document but this could work for you: https://www.neteye-blog.com/2018/06/custom-ubuntu-iso-image-for-unattended-and-offline-installation/ [15:24] my bad going for a recent XPS, wanted the RAM for ansible / molecule test [15:24] lyr: dell is known to be linux/ubuntu friendly.. [15:24] lyr, it should work with kernel 5.3 out of the box [15:24] thanks tomreyn I'll looking into this [15:25] thanks tomreyn I'll look into this [15:27] ioria, which kernel 19.10 is running ? [15:27] lyr, 5.3 [15:27] !info linux-generic eoan | lyr [15:27] lyr: linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 5.3.0.26.30 (eoan), package size 1 kB, installed size 16 kB [15:28] well didn't do the trick [15:28] I wonder if the issue is around 19.10 shipping NVidia drivers [15:28] lyr, boot the live with 'modprobe.blacklist:intel_lpss_pci ' [15:29] or modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci ? [15:29] So I've discovered something interesting: `ls` seems to still think that it's 2019 [15:29] with or without nomodeset ? [15:30] lyr, yeah, modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci [15:30] lyr, that too [15:30] if I run `ll` in a directory with files from 2019 and 2020, it shows month day time for the 2019 files but month day year for the 2020 files [15:30] Anyone know why that would happen? [15:31] (also sorry for butting in) [15:32] artiemog: and date reports what? [15:33] ioria, I think I love you [15:33] lyr, really ? [15:34] the blacklist option give me a stable live (with nomodeset) on 19.10 [15:34] lyr, btw, probably we'll get some issue with wifi and camera [15:34] *s [15:35] gonna see that next, this XPS already had issue with the whole network card anyway [15:35] hopefully not [15:35] tomreyn: the date is correct [15:35] can only be better [15:37] just, can you explain me what's the blacklist disable exactly, the shipped intel video card support ? or the proprietary drivers for nvidia ? [15:37] lyr: (upstream) kernel 5.4.2.1-1 apparently works around this dell xps specific problem, so you can try upgrading to this or a higher kernel version after installation, if needed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_2-in-1_(7390)#Intel_LPSS [15:37] artiemog: okay, it was worth a try. not sure what's causing it, then. [15:37] lyr, turing chip is almost supported by 5.3 kernel; the other option i guess is still required [15:40] tomreyn: I kinda suspect a bug in `ls` [15:40] especially since I'm on LTS [15:40] lyr, see if you can install 3d party sw , if not you'll intall nvidia later; the problem is the wifi card; do you have a eth cable at hand ? [15:40] can anyone else reproduce what I'm seeing? [15:40] artiemog: that's not the expectation i'd have first of all. but you can always file a bug (but try to search the web about it first) [15:41] Just tried it on my Debian machine and it's showing times for both the 2019 and 2020 files [15:41] artiemog: i'm on 18.04.3 LTS with linux 5.3 here, don't see this behaviour on an ext4 file system [15:42] hmm, maybe it's because this partition is NTFS [15:42] let me try it on ext4 [15:44] shivam_, glad it worked [15:44] lyr / ioria: just FYI, LPSS is intels' "low power subsystem", which, amongst other, can manage a touchscreen (based on the little bit i could quickly grasp about it) [15:44] shivam_, enjoy ubuntu, arch btw <3 [15:45] okay yeah this is quite interesting [15:45] on NTFS it behaves the same as my Debian machine [15:45] er [15:45] on ext4 it behaves the same as my Debian machine [15:45] but I have the weirdness on NTFS [15:46] ioria the wifi is working fine (wasn't in 19.04, had to recompile it now and then after apt upgrade, which ended up breaking the OS yesterday somehow) [15:46] lyr, that's good [15:46] I disabled the touchscreen in the bios [15:46] Touchpad is working too (wasn't in 18.04) [15:47] lyr: possibly related - the 19.10 kernel on the live iso will be older, but the one on the installed system, after updates, should have the patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1845584 [15:47] Launchpad bug 1845584 in linux (Ubuntu Focal) "intel-lpss driver conflicts with write-combining MTRR region" [Undecided,In progress] [15:47] the special key + screen light up / down combination isn't working, though I don't care [15:47] lyr, can you check the camera ? [15:49] ioria working [15:49] lyr, great. the funcion key problem might be solved with 'acpi_osi= ' in the kernel line [15:51] lyr, and probably with GTX 1650 you want nvidia installed [15:54] anyway thanks for humouring me tomreyn :P [15:57] I'll give it a shot later on ioria [15:57] Many thanks again ioria & tomreyn too [15:58] I wrote most of the idea in https://github.com/JackHack96/dell-xps-9570-ubuntu-respin/issues/108 if needed [15:59] Gonna setup all my stuff now [16:05] lyr, ok [17:09] Hi, working on a aws instance, I'm trying to get the ip address but when i do `ip` I only get the LAN ip, is there another way to do this? [17:12] www.whatismyip.com or curl https://ipinfo.io/ip === rickybob is now known as senor_pepe === senor_pepe is now known as rickybob [17:20] why are USB signals (disconnect/connect) showing up in org.gnome.Mutter.IdleMonitor in dbus [17:21] potentially for the information toaster popup to indicate that a drive has been added or removed from the system? [17:22] pragmaticenigma, good point [17:25] is there a better way than through dbus to get access to usb events? [17:25] udev [17:25] in ruby ... rudev lib? pragmaticenigma [17:30] I'm not familiar with udev to be able to answer that. I just know from trying to figure out if I could programatically see a USB drive mount and auto-trigger a rsync job [17:30] that was the recommended approach to detection.

[18:31] physiology: you can also use ssh to make a connection [18:31] or just telnet [18:31] Modulo5k: Do I set up bridges to allow that to happen in the first place though? [18:31] All you need is an open port and an ip address [18:32] Also, I assume there will need to be two sets of IP addresses, one for behind the scenes and one for the VM network connection. [18:33] physiology: Depending on your VM environment, you will need to configure it to bridge the VM instance into the local network, or port forward through the VMs NAT table. These are specific to the type of VM software you are running and would require consulting their help forums for assistance [18:34] Okay, pragmaticenigma. Thank you. GNS3, btw [18:37] physiology: If you're talking about Graphical Network Simulator-3... support for that is not available here. You will need to consult their forums and community for help [18:47] Hello [18:47] welcome sumagna_ [18:47] I am having some problems while installing ubuntu lotuspsychje [18:48] sumagna_: ask your question to the channel please, and volunteers will help if they can [18:48] I want to dual boot ubuntu with windows 10 which is in legacy boot(if needed) [18:48] It is telling that i dont have an efi system partition [18:50] Which i am not supposed to have, since i have a legacy boot system [18:50] So how can i install it [18:51] sumagna_: you mean your computer doesnt have uefi? [18:51] sumagna_: boot the usb in legacy mode [18:51] Install Ubuntu, i mean [18:51] How [18:51] sounds like you started the ubuntu installer in UEFI mode .. [18:51] My computer has uefi but if i disable it windows stops working [18:51] sumagna_: go to your laptops boot options and select that usb legacy mode priority over usb uefi, or manually select it from the one time boot options menu [18:52] sumagna_: that sounds like windows is in uefi mode, can you pastebin 'sudo parted -ls' please? [18:52] Wait i am gonna try to do that [18:52] I don't have uefi in windows [18:53] if you pastebin that we can get a clear picture [18:53] It says legacy boot [18:53] otherwise we're just guessing like idiots [18:53] By the way, i had ubuntu before on this computer and i accidentally deleted it's partition [18:54] Is there any reason sleep(1) wouldn't return on Ubuntu? [18:54] is that why you want to reinstall? sumagna_ [18:54] Yea [18:54] my threads are all hanging in the wind [18:54] you can probably restore ubuntu easily with no missing stuff [18:54] How [18:55] sumagna_: when you delete the partition, the filesystem is still there, it's just not listed in the partition table anymore [18:55] start by pastebinning 'sudo parted -ls' [18:55] Ol [18:55] Ok [18:55] Wait [18:56] I am starting the live usb [18:57] And also the live usb contains the efi folder only and nothing else [18:57] yeah, that's normal [18:58] Guys in bionic, how can I install smartmontools 7.0? [18:58] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/smartmontools [18:58] By the way, i am messaging from mobile so there might be some delays [18:59] no worries [18:59] !info smartmontools bionic [18:59] smartmontools (source: smartmontools): control and monitor storage systems using S.M.A.R.T..

[19:01] https://pastebin.com/v5KWsgMj [19:01] The link [19:01] This is my output [19:01] EriC^^, with a new hard disk different model then before I run into this issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924892 [19:01] Debian bug 924892 in smartmontools "smartmontools: fails on nvme/Optane: NVMe Status 0x4002" [Normal,Fixed] [19:01] === START OF SMART DATA SECTION === [19:01] Read NVMe SMART/Health Information failed: NVMe Status 0x4002 [19:03] adac: there's a list of args you can use, might be helpful not sure https://www.smartmontools.org/wiki/Supported_USB-Devices [19:03] So any help you got from the output? === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_Afk [19:04] sumagna_: yeah, first you're using legacy as you said, not uefi, 2nd there seems to be a ext4 filesystem, did you reinstall ubuntu at any point after you deleted the partition you said you did? [19:05] That's another partition i made for myself to keep my things in ubuntu [19:05] /dev/sda2, it is [19:06] sumagna_: ah i see, ok, can you type "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print" and pastebin? [19:06] sumagna_: btw you can do "sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print | nc termbin.com 9999" and it will pastebin it for you and give a link back [19:07] !backports [19:07] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [19:07] termbin.com/fnva [19:08] Can i install a single package from backports? [19:08] Is that possible? If yes how? [19:09] sudo apt install -t backports [19:09] you'll need to enable the repo. Then disable it if you like [19:09] sumagna_: try "sudo mount -o offset=$((1748719616 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt" [19:11] Wait i am going to pastebin and send the link [19:12] leftyfb, thanks! [19:13] pastebin.com/pJ92xuCz [19:15] hello! having issues on a fresh kubuntu 18.04 installation, any help much appreciated. audio (speakers via xonar u5 external card, everything set to 100% in pulseaudio) is very quiet compared to windows. and experiencing poor fps in games and even watching fullscreen videos, with gtx1060, using recommended nvidia-driver-435. [19:15] sumagna_: my guess is that there was an extended partition that had ubuntu + the swap [19:15] Yeah [19:16] If you are talking about the previous installation [19:16] sumagna_: you can use testdisk to find their location and restore them, type "sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update" [19:16] then "sudo apt-get install testdisk" [19:16] How to do that [19:16] Ok wait [19:16] From the live usb? [19:17] yes [19:17] And can you please assure me that it is not gonna mess up my windows 10 installation [19:18] And i have the live usb with ubuntu 19.04 [19:18] Please assure me or else i am not gonna restore the partitions [19:19] *partition [19:19] EriC^^: please assure me [19:20] sumagna_: well, if you dont have a backup of the windows, then maybe it's better not to mess with testdisk, just in case, anyways i do have another idea which doesn't involve testdisk and is simpler [19:20] I don't have a backup [19:21] sumagna_: the idea is that we can guess the location of the ubuntu partition, it's like right after where we just tried looking, once we mount it, we can create a partition in that location, that encompasses the rest of the disk, then we can run a command that will expand the filesystem to take up all the remaining space, and you can create a swap file instead of a swap partition, which is the same really [19:22]
