| lubot | <heysoundude> Uh oh...help! What command do I issue in rescue mode to start my system? | 00:50 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | grub rescue??? oh man what did you do? | 00:51 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> I have no idea. I’m looking at a terminal screen with … grub rescue> | 00:52 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> is your drive full disk encrypted? | 00:53 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> 🤔 possibly. It’s been a few years - I can’t remember | 00:54 |
| guiverc | @heysoundude, i usually stop at that point, sysrq-reisub & boot a live system & inspect for issues (`fsck` or file-system check; if it detects & fixes something I'd expect it to normally boot next time...) I'm assuming unencrypted though | 00:54 |
| wxl | agreed. you shouldn't just randomly end up in grub rescue | 00:55 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> I am not sure which version of Lubuntu you are running but if you incorrectly type (or fail to enter in time) your password on FDE you land at grub rescue | 00:56 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> at that point you can reboot and try to enter your password (assuming FDE) | 00:56 |
| guiverc | Good point kc2bez ; my most comomn grub-rescue on laptop is b/c I mistyped the encryption key !! | 00:56 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> I did have a problem booting, and it told me to run fsck /dev/sda1 and I hit option a (yes to all). When it finished, I typed reboot, then it asked me to “Reboot and Select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key” | 00:57 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> It was 18.04.3 | 00:57 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> ^that sounds like a disk problem. | 00:58 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> It’s a ~2yr old ssd. | 00:58 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> An HP | 00:59 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> Is there something to try before we call it DOA? | 00:59 |
| guiverc | my suggestion (as before) would be boot a 'live' system (eg. Lubuntu install media & use 'Start Lubuntu') and `fsck` your ssd. The reason for using 'live' is so your ssd is unused when you boot, thus is easily checked & issues fixed with `fsck` | 01:00 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> Ok. Let me see where I put the USB stick... | 01:00 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> If it’s missing, I have other machines I can use to DL lubuntu. Can I maybe go to 19.04? Or should I? | 01:01 |
| guiverc | the 'live' system need not be the same version; ideally pretty modern but I'd use anything 18.04 or later myself | 01:02 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> 19.04 is EOL, if anything you should use 19.10 | 01:02 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> Hmm. Ok. Standby. | 01:03 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> (And thank you!!) | 01:03 |
| * guiverc got a fright; I'd not posted 19.04's EOL to fridge; but still a few days left of life.. | 01:04 | |
| wxl | don't feel bad, when i posted to the list, one of the dates i gave was in the past XD | 01:05 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> https://lubuntu.me/lubuntu-19-04-end-of-life-and-current-support-statuses/ | 01:07 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> ^ Pinned in Telegram now. | 01:08 |
| guiverc | yep 23rd fitting with https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2020-January/000252.html - notice of coming EOL (thursday 23) | 01:08 |
| * kc2bez realizes that he never mentioned that in the stand-up | 01:13 | |
| lubot | <heysoundude> Having a hard time getting the torrent of 19.10 to start... | 01:24 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> The USB I found has 17.04 iso on it | 01:24 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> Forgot this machine has avast on it...got it going now. | 01:28 |

| retardedguy12345 | Hello | 21:33 |
| wxl | hey | 21:33 |
| retardedguy12345 | Can I ask for help in this channel? | 21:33 |
| wxl | this is the place | 21:33 |
| retardedguy12345 | I've got laptop Dell with Lubuntu 18.04, it has 100mb network, I bought 1 gigabit usb 3 adapter it works like charm for like 10-15mins and then it stopps I have to replug the usb | 21:34 |
| retardedguy12345 | Is there some kind of power saving option on the USBs or its something else? | 21:34 |
| retardedguy12345 | As soon as i replug it works perfectly again | 21:35 |
| wxl | hm that's strange indeed. have you ever used it with another network? | 21:35 |
| retardedguy12345 | Like have I used the adapter on different computer? | 21:37 |
| wxl | no, with a different network | 21:38 |
| retardedguy12345 | Ive got only one network my home | 21:38 |
| wxl | well i mean there are other places in the world.. :) | 21:39 |
| retardedguy12345 | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029250/ubuntu-18-04-ethernet-disconnected-after-suspend | 21:39 |
| retardedguy12345 | People here say if I upgrade the karnel it goes away | 21:39 |
| retardedguy12345 | if i wasnt retarded i wouldnt be here you knwo bRUH! | 21:41 |
| wxl | that's kind of offensive, you know.... | 21:41 |
| retardedguy12345 | All the tech savy users use linux, and then me the fucking dumbest man on planet earth decided to go on linux I cant code i dont understand software | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | and I gotta seek help on forums and irc every single time... | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | :) | 21:42 |
| wxl | keep the language nice if you would | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | Didn't mean to be offensive to anybody expect me | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | Am really sorry, no bad intentions | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | Trust me! | 21:42 |
| wxl | what kernel are you running? | 21:42 |
| retardedguy12345 | 4.15 | 21:43 |
| retardedguy12345 | LTS | 21:43 |
| retardedguy12345 | I tried once to upgrade latest relese couldnt | 21:43 |
| retardedguy12345 | to latest release* | 21:44 |
| wxl | which specific kernel? | 21:46 |
| retardedguy12345 | 4.15.0-74-generic | 21:46 |
| retardedguy12345 | When i type in terminal sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:48 |
| retardedguy12345 | it dosent upgrade | 21:48 |
| lubot | <teward001> `dist-upgrade` will only install the latest updates available to your system and the dependent packages | 21:48 |
| lubot | <teward001> it will not upgrade your OS to a newer version | 21:48 |
| retardedguy12345 | says the Following packages were automaticlly installed and are no longer req: | 21:48 |
| retardedguy12345 | and there is list | 21:49 |
| retardedguy12345 | of 5 | 21:49 |
| retardedguy12345 | rows | 21:49 |
| lubot | <teward001> upgrading the system is the job of `sudo do-release-upgrade` or similar, and not the function of `sudo apt-get ...` | 21:49 |
| retardedguy12345 | Are you sure? | 21:49 |
| retardedguy12345 | is this person or bot? | 21:49 |
| lubot | <teward001> the bot is carrying my messages from a secondary communication mechanism | 21:49 |
| lubot | <teward001> my username is teward001 | 21:49 |
| teward | ... or if i were here on my phone, teward here on IRC | 21:50 |
| teward | (same person... | 21:50 |
| lubot | <teward001> ... different communication mechanisms, this is the support room over on the Telegram messenger) | 21:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | Ok | 21:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | so what is the command to ugprade the distro | 21:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | to the latest | 21:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | is that gonna upgrade my kernel too? | 21:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | As far as i've been seraching the internet thats the command | 21:51 |
| teward | you are on 18.04 yes? in *theory* it should be `sudo do-release-upgrade` on the command line. It should also upgrade your base kernel, but it will also upgrade a lot of other software as well. So before you do this, if there is anything you want to keep on your system you should back it up | 21:51 |
| wxl | that's not recommended | 21:51 |
| wxl | LXDE -> LXQt | 21:51 |
| teward | i also agree with wxl | 21:51 |
| retardedguy12345 | what am I supposed to do? | 21:51 |
| teward | if you need the *latest* kernel, there may be another one to install 1 moment | 21:51 |
| teward | *polls the packages* | 21:51 |
| tomreyn | HWE / LTSE is maybe worth a try? | 21:52 |
| teward | yep | 21:52 |
| guiverc | are you using 4.15 or 5.0 (HWE enabled on 18.04; soon be 5.3) | 21:52 |
| teward | guiverc: already answered earlier, they're on 4.15 | 21:53 |
| guiverc | sorry | 21:53 |
| teward | > 4.15.0-74-generic | 21:53 |
| teward | you can either install `linux-generic-hwe-18.04` or `linux-generic-hwe-18.04-edge` - the first installs 5.0, the second installs 5.3. | 21:54 |
| retardedguy12345 | thats not gonna break anytihng? | 21:54 |
| lubot | <heysoundude> @teward [<teward> you can either install `linux-generic-hwe-18.04` or `linux-generic-hwe- …], 👍🏻👍🏻 | 21:54 |
| teward | it could, not all hardware likes to behave on the HWE kernels | 21:54 |
| retardedguy12345 | ok whats the command i'll type it | 21:54 |
| retardedguy12345 | whats HWE short for | 21:54 |
| retardedguy12345 | how do i get to newer karnel safely? | 21:55 |
| teward | sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | 21:55 |
| teward | start with that one, i want to avoid edge first :P | 21:55 |
| teward | that should install the second kernel, if it fails to work on a reboot we'll instruct you how to boot to the older kernel | 21:55 |
| teward | since it won't remove 4.15 yet | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | the !LTSE / !HWE trigger recommends also upgrading X. also -hwe also points to 5.3 now, i think. | 21:56 |
| teward | !LTSE | 21:56 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 21:56 |
| teward | !HWE | 21:56 |
| teward | blah stupid ubottu | 21:56 |
| tomreyn | its an alias | 21:56 |
| teward | tomreyn: you may want to assist them with the steps | 21:56 |
| teward | as they've already stated they don't know what they're doing :P | 21:56 |
| retardedguy12345 | so sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-18.04 | 21:56 |
| retardedguy12345 | right? | 21:56 |
| teward | (and i'm headed home, so offline for a short while) | 21:56 |
| tomreyn | retardedguy12345: please just read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 21:57 |
| tomreyn | or if that's too much, run this: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04 | 21:57 |
| retardedguy12345 | alright @hanks | 21:59 |
| retardedguy12345 | thanks | 21:59 |
| wxl | i'm not sure the kernel is going to fix this. the bug report is a mess with conflicting reports 4.15.0-24.26 | 21:59 |
| wxl | oops | 21:59 |
| wxl | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1752772?comments=all | 21:59 |
| tomreyn | i should have said you also should run this: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 21:59 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1752772 in linux-kernel-headers (Ubuntu) "r8169 ethernet card don't work after returning from suspension" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 21:59 |

| retardedguy12345 | mines | 22:00 |
| retardedguy12345 | r8152 | 22:00 |
| retardedguy12345 | Thats what it shows in the network | 22:01 |
| tomreyn | i should have said you also should run this: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade | 22:01 |
| retardedguy12345 | When I go connection info: shows r8152 | 22:01 |
| retardedguy12345 | ok i havent run any commands yet | 22:01 |
| retardedguy12345 | i'll run that first | 22:01 |
| tomreyn | tell us whether it reported anything special other than that you can autoremove those 5 packages. | 22:02 |
| tomreyn | this is very old but matches the symptom https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1586195 | 22:04 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1586195 in linux (Ubuntu) "Realtek 8153-based ethernet adapter on usb3 eventually stops working requiring unplug/replug" [High,Expired] | 22:04 |

| retardedguy12345 | thats me from the laptop | 22:09 |
| retardedguy12345 | am trying to fix | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | okay, the chrome repository needs fixing. | 22:09 |
| tomreyn | winehq-staging is held back, you should see if you can fix this problem sometime. it is with a !PPA | 22:11 |
| retardedguy12345 | Thanks for taking the time to help me tomreyn | 22:11 |
| retardedguy12345 | What a nice human being, god bless you | 22:12 |
| tomreyn | hehe, you're welcome, but we're really deviating right now. i just wanted to make sure you can use apt in general | 22:12 |
| tbs | guys here helps a lot, i even ask sefish questions sometimes:) | 22:13 |
| retardedguy12345 | tbs Like what? :) | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | to remove those packages listed there you can run sudo apt --purge autoremove but that's also for later | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | (those listed under "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:") | 22:13 |
| retardedguy12345 | Its removing now stuff | 22:14 |
| retardedguy12345 | Has green " | 22:14 |
| retardedguy12345 | "process" bar | 22:14 |
| tbs | like can i add more ram to my pc, how can i make my desktop like archman openbox, is there an app like tolwiz timefreez for linux... | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | let's confirm which network interface you have (you can do this in parallel on a separate temrinal window, it's fast): lspci -knn | grep -EA3 '(Network|Ethernet) controller' | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:14 |
| retardedguy123it | https://termbin.com/k8m9w | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | i guess the "Dell RTL810xE PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller" will be the integrated one, not the usb one | 22:16 |
| tomreyn | what does this report: lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:16 |
| retardedguy12345 | ye the adapter dosent have wireless | 22:16 |
| retardedguy12345 | its gigabit cable lan adapter | 22:16 |
| tomreyn | oh and make sure you have the usb ethernet dongle attached while you run these | 22:17 |
| retardedguy12345 | its attached | 22:18 |
| retardedguy12345 | to network and everything | 22:18 |
| tomreyn | ok, so what does this report: lsusb | nc termbin.com 9999 | 22:18 |
| retardedguy123it | https://termbin.com/87as | 22:18 |
| tomreyn | you can run sudo update-usbids if you want more useful output from the lsusb command in the future | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | Hey Tomreyn | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | just so you know | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | https://termbin.com/k8m9w | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | but the first on this list will be the one we're lookign for | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | where it says 03: | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | is the adapter | 22:20 |
| retardedguy12345 | not the first one | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | the second on https://termbin.com/k8m9w is your integrated network interface, the "old" one, not on USB | 22:21 |

| tomreyn | is you run lsusb again now you will see the first line there showing your usb ethernet | 22:21 |
| retardedguy12345 | it cutt off the network on the laptop | 22:23 |
| retardedguy12345 | let me replug the adapter | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | it should say "RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter" now. but you don't need to run it unless for yourself | 22:23 |
| retardedguy12345 | ye it does | 22:23 |
| retardedguyitsme | pc@PC:~$ lsusbBus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:8153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | so that's more useful than what it used to say: https://termbin.com/87as | 22:24 |
| tomreyn | i suggest you still do the kernel upgrade, just to see whether it's already fixed ina newer kernel. | 22:25 |
| retardedguy12345 | it seems like the network cuts of after 15-16mins | 22:25 |
| retardedguy12345 | every time | 22:25 |
| retardedguy12345 | like a clock | 22:25 |
| retardedguyitsme | sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade? | 22:25 |
| tomreyn | !LTSE | 22:26 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:26 |
| tomreyn | this | 22:26 |
| retardedguy12345 | ill disconnect the donggle not to fuck it up mid installation | 22:26 |
| retardedguy12345 | you tthink thats smart | 22:27 |
| retardedguy12345 | uhh it upgrades to 5.3 | 22:28 |
| retardedguy12345 | hopefully it all turns good | 22:28 |
| retardedguy12345 | if not am gonna have some fun reinstalling | 22:28 |
| retardedguy12345 | hey that is done | 22:35 |
| retardedguy12345 | do i need to reset for the karntel to take place? | 22:35 |
| wxl | retardedguy12345: sorry for disappearing on you there but the phone rang shortly after you showed up. you do need to reboot for the new kernel to be used. | 22:36 |
| paolo_piemonte | hi | 22:38 |
| retardedguy12345 | Thanks wxl | 22:38 |
| retardedguy12345 | on the new karnel touchpad feels more responsive | 22:40 |
| wxl | generally having newer kernels is better for hardware | 22:41 |
| retardedguy12345 | lets see if the isssue is fixed | 22:43 |
| retardedguy12345 | it will take 15mins from now | 22:44 |
| retardedguy12345 | Thanks everyone here to helping | 22:45 |
| retardedguy12345 | <3 | 22:45 |
| retardedguy12345 | god bless you all | 22:45 |
| retardedguy12345 | And wish you fantastic weekend | 22:45 |
| tomreyn | retardedguy12345: sorry, my isp decided to disconnect me there, i just got back | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | (i use an irc proxy so shoul dnot have missed much of what you said) | 22:50 |
| tomreyn | okay, let's wait and see if we worked around it. | 22:50 |
| retardedguy12345 | with the new karnel the touch soft touch click is gone | 22:52 |
| retardedguy12345 | gotta press the pad | 22:52 |
| retardedguy12345 | it dosent bother me | 22:52 |
| retardedguy12345 | all i want is for the adapter to continue working | 22:52 |
| retardedguy12345 | 3mins | 22:57 |
| retardedguy12345 | ;) | 22:58 |
| retardedguy12345 | it seems like bros | 23:04 |
| retardedguy12345 | we fixed it | 23:04 |
| retardedguy12345 | wow | 23:05 |
| retardedguy12345 | thats fantastic | 23:05 |
| retardedguy12345 | <3 | 23:05 |
