[00:00] davr0s: There is no way to return to a previous version. Support for focal fossa is only available in #ubuntu+1 until it's officially released [00:00] yeah i was surprised to see it just choose to upggrade me to focal fossa [00:00] i just clicked yes to updates [00:00] davr0s: What did you type in? [00:01] it said something about a partial update being available [00:01] on another note i know how to install from a startup usb stick.. can i install an image directly to a second drive from my current environment [00:02] davr0s: Have you ever followed someone's instructions in the past to install a new release of Ubuntu before it was actually released? === Guest37831 is now known as gabeio [00:02] no [00:03] i didn't conciously seek "focal fossa" [00:03] i just wanted to run a regular update. [00:03] i ended up with focal fossa [00:03] save your data and reinstall [00:03] davr0s: I'm asking when you potentially updated to Bionic [00:03] i think i did do a deliberate distro upgrade some time ago but i forget how [00:04] NEVER DO THAT... that's how this happened [00:04] oerheks, yeah my current plan is installing fresh on a second drive and copying stuff over [00:04] for future reference, [00:05] distros can upgrade themselves to latest versions? [00:05] davr0s: If you ever entered the command "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" that will place you on the development branch... which is how you ended up on focal [00:05] -d is development [00:05] but you might can go on with it: do an sudo apt install -f [00:05] ok i can't confirm or deny but its possible "do-release upgrade" happened. i really can't remember specifically what i did [00:06] it was possible you did that 2 years ago... which I'm lucky if I remember what I had for lunch yesterday [00:07] yeah i was stuck on an old version (14 somethig) for a while, and thought i needed to update , whilst not wanting to completely re-install my drive and copy data off and on again [00:07] in the future... don't try to force upgrades to the distribution. They will be released when they're appropriately ready and well tested. For future reference, LTS upgrades are released when the YY.MM.1 (that's a one on the end) is released. To ensure the upgrade is stable [00:07] i'm hoping this nvidia stuttering is just related to this dev branch.. [00:08] more than likely it is [00:08] and not the nvidia driver versus my card [00:09] ok Q2 , before i go and create a USB startup disk as i did in the past, is there an easy way to install an image directly to a second drive ? [00:09] davr0s: If you're willing, it would be a great idea to still pop over to the #ubuntu+1 channel to mention the issue. They may have you do some debugging to at least help remove the issue before the general release is made later this spring [00:09] i have a spare drive installed which i can overwrite [00:09] ok [00:10] davr0s: If you're looking to use a new drive, there isn't a fast way, but I would recommend removing the current drive to ensure you don't accidentally lose anything [00:12] yeah if i accidentally click the wrong one to format or something [00:12] trying to reset my terminal settings. I did get it back to purple bg....but my bold and folder colors and such aren't right. Everything is just one color. I've tried Tweak and reset everything there [00:18] ok i will reset and re-install, i might be back with more questions later .. [00:26] Are `ip route add` changes always transient? I get this sense that netplan sometimes doesn't set the proper routes (based on gateway), but if I do it manually the change sticks across boots. I could be wrong however. Not the first time I observed this. [00:29] adrian_1908: Unless you save it to a file, it will not persist [00:30] should setuptools.find_packages find modules too? [00:30] pragmaticenigma: ok, thanks for clearing that up! I would think so too, no idea what I'm missing. Feels like I'm punching a hole through with my manual invocation and from then on it sticks. [00:30] doh! wrong chan, sorry [00:32] anybody home? [00:32] lol [00:34] hi, I have some problem with booting ubuntu, it stalles after giving password .. now I'm on livecd, I figured there's something wrong with the encrypted partition.. anyone to help? [00:35] Partition 2 does not start on physical sector boundary. [00:35] what does it mean? === grateful-TonyF is now known as grateful [01:08] ok i'm back, I installed ubuntu 19.10 fresh on a new hard drive, booted from it. and unfortunately i see the same behaviour :( [01:08] Xorg and nv_queue are showing up in 'top' taking 20% CPU when idle, and the whole environment is pausing for a few frames every half second or so [01:09] so now I should ask if there are tweaks to the nvidia driver, if its a known problem, if its my hardware config or what. thing is it worked on the environment i had 2 days ago before an update - it seems to be a specific blend of driver and OS version [01:09] davros: I wasn't here earlier, Desktop or Notebook? [01:10] desktop [01:10] And which driver? [01:10] should i keep going back versions of ubuntu till i find one that might match what i had before? ( i'm not sure exactly what state it was in before - i did an eronesous update to 20.04 dev [01:10] 440 i think but let me confirm [01:10] `nvidia-smi` is neat for that [01:11] ok Driver Version 435.21 [01:11] i guess i can try upgrading to 440 right now [01:11] this is just what came out of the fresh install [01:12] It's certainly weird. Common Nvidia GPU I reckon? [01:12] gtx970 with a core i7 4790 [01:13] like i say the configuration i had 2 days ago worked, but i can't even tell you what version of ubuntu was installed. previous replies suggested i might have done a botched update [01:13] I got the very same GPU and driver version, no such issues. Xubuntu 18.04 though. [01:13] (i was on 14.. for ages and did something to manually update it to 17.. and continued simple updates to that) [01:13] ah [01:13] well its possible my previous config was 18.. and yes, it was the XFCE desktop === V7 is now known as nopmpem [01:14] its possible this is specific to later versions of ubuntu or rather the underlying kernel? and "not enough people are using a later version + old 970 graphics card" to care? [01:15] i'm in 2 minds here.. go back to the version of ubuntu you have (18.04)- yet another re-install - or wait for a fix to appear [01:16] davros: FYI: Nvidia recommneds the 440 version driver for your card. May have to get that driver from our trusted PPA. ' apt list nvidia-driver-440 ' to see if it is available in the repo. [01:16] Well to me that sounds unbearable, especially the stutters. You had issues with 20.04 you said? Otherwise that's something to consider, it's not that far out anymore. [01:17] davros: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/156772/en-us . [01:19] And yes, try those drivers first before considering an OS switch ;) === nopmpem is now known as V7 [01:24] update notifier crashes everytime I log into the Ubuntu desktop now. Is that happening to anybody else? [01:26] k_sze: 1st I have seen of that - what results with terminal ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' ( 18.04 saw a new kernel). [01:27] !info linux-image-generic bionic [01:27] linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.15.0.88.80 (bionic), package size 2 kB, installed size 16 kB [01:34] Bashing-om, apt works just fine. [01:34] I *think* it is something else. I get a dialog asking whether I want to report the system error. [01:34] Where can I find the log so I can dig up more details? [01:35] k_sze: /var/crash/ [01:36] hmm, the files I see in /var/crash seem unrelated (timestamps too old) [01:36] k_sze: look and see ' ls -al /var/crash/ ' . [01:37] I did, but the .crash files are dated Feb 10 and Feb 14 [01:37] way too old. [01:38] i am unable to connect to twiitter from my ubuntu [01:38] to i have to edit a /etc/hosts.allow file? [01:39] do* [01:39] ptah8: you mean through your web browser? [01:39] ptah8: there's nothing in ubuntu by default that blocks twitter or any other website [01:43] yes my web browser, im using an old mini dell laptop [01:43] ptah8: what version of ubuntu? What web browser? [01:44] outdated, but the other sites work, twitter says connection reset [01:45] ptah8: what version of ubuntu? What web browser? [01:45] hey all, I'm having an issue with cached local hostnames. I had hostnames: ec-0 and ec-1, I changed them by shifting them to a 1-index instead of 0-index, so now they're ec-1 and ec-2. I can still ping ec-0 though, and a program I'm using keeps matching the IP of ec-1 with what is now the IP for ec-2 [01:45] is there a way to somehow flush this old host info? [01:45] I ran systemd-resolve --flush-caches, but taht didn't solve the issue [01:45] Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 8.04 [01:45] Scriptonaut: sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved [01:46] ptah8: nc termbin.com 9999 < <(lsb_release -ds;cat /proc/{version,cmdline};echo "Session: $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ($XDG_SESSION_TYPE)";echo Shell: $SHELL) [01:46] ptah8: please run that and paste the URL here [01:46] leftyfb: issue is still persisting [01:47] Scriptonaut: then your local DNS server has them cached [01:47] Scriptonaut: use dig with your nameserver to troubleshoot [01:47] hmm, my resolv.conf has 127.0.0.1, is that my nameserver? [01:48] Scriptonaut: nmcli device show | grep IP4.DNS [01:55] Hi guys, what is the latest supported Kernel version on Ubuntu 18.04? [01:55] pennTeller: why do you ask? [01:55] leftyfb, I want to put the latest possible kernel in one of my computers [01:56] but still under 18.04 [01:56] pennTeller: install linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 [01:56] thanks for that. I would like to know the version first if possible [01:56] pennTeller: Which is 5.3 [01:56] pennTeller: apt-cache policy linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 [01:56] so there is no way to use 5.5.4 correct? [01:56] Nope [01:57] adrian_1908, no wonder, I kept getting a "can't talk to TPM module" error [01:57] :p === Guest33014 is now known as alphaseg [01:57] pennTeller: there is no supported or unsupported version of ubuntu which uses a kernel that was released 3 days ago [01:57] LOL thanks [01:59] ptah8: still having trouble running those commands? [02:01] didn't think so [02:37] Hi again [02:37] Well I reinstalled 18.04 - and the graphics works fine, no more stutter [02:41] I now have another problem with networking - it’s not connecting on my wired network , and it doesn’t find the Wi-fi device (settings tells me none is found) . Under 19.10,20.04 iterr connect using Wi-fi just fine. I’m using an iPad on the same Wi-fi network now [02:42] Not even sure why the wired connection would suddenly stop working [02:42] Not going to get very far using Linux without a network connection :( [02:43] davr0s: what kernel are you running? uname -r [02:44] 5.0.0-23-generic [02:45] Had to drop to Ubuntu 18.04 because 19.10 up are making my graphics card stutter [02:45] I'd say install linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 but it might not make a difference and you have no internet to do so [02:45] The later versions find my Wi-fi device just fine [02:45] davr0s: the 18.03 hwe kernel is the same as in 19.10 [02:45] What I installed was Ubuntu 18.04 [02:46] I have 20.04 on another drive on the same machine [02:46] davr0s: you should have downloaded the latest image [02:46] installer* === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [02:46] Another version of “18.94”? [02:47] Now you mention it - that 18.04 was downloaded ages ago [02:47] davr0s: lets start with ethernet. This worked before right? Cable is plugged in now? [02:47] So if I go back to my 20.04, re download 18.04, that will have more recent bug fixes etc? [02:48] davr0s: or we could just get this one going. It's just an apt upgrade away from being the latest. Just need to get internet going on it [02:48] Yeah. The Ethernet used to work, I’ve had rpis connect aswell [02:48] davr0s: what happens when you plug the ethernet in? Do you see a network icon in the top right? [02:48] I was about to try connecting a raspberry pi to check my network is actually working [02:48] ok, do that first [02:49] Yes it tries to connect and fails [02:49] Just tried unplugging - the icon disappears and reappears it definitely knows about the cable etc [02:50] see if the pi can get online. [02:50] Yes I should [02:50] In the meantime [02:51] Will I get a different result by downloading 18.04 today vs the image I had lying around for a couple of years [02:51] I suppose I [02:51] Could try 18.10 aswell [02:51] davr0s: potentially. You'll get the newer kernel now as opposed to getting online and getting it with an update [02:52] davr0s: 18.10 is EOL [02:52] davr0s: I would stick with 18.04 [02:52] I will keep this image aswell [02:52] first test the pi [02:53] I suspect the graphics problem is “latest kernel plus latest nvidia drivers” (stutter .. pausing every half second. Fine on this old kernel and fine before I did an update yesterday) [02:53] Ok [02:54] Handy little thing to have around [03:26] how can i restart a interface with netplan without reboot ? [03:31] Couldn’t get my pi organised (deskspace, wires) .. will defer that till I can get longer cables etc [03:31] raden: try: systemctl restart networking . [03:31] The 18.04 image I had was 18.04.3, I just downloaded a xububtu 18.04.4 [03:32] Bashing-om, THERE IS NO NETWORKING [03:32] sorry about caps [03:33] I will give this a go (I’m keeping this 20.04 with compromised graphics but everything else ok on my main drive, and trying various experiments on a second drive) [03:34] raden: More info - as you stated "restart". [03:55] has anyone had sound issues with bluetooth and Bose speakers? [03:57] I connect but then it disconnects. After several attemps I managed to get it to stay connect, but.. [03:57] then I could not get the volume up all the way === OICU812 is now known as TabMasher [04:28] thanks for the help , those who tried. I'm 'back in business' so to speak. Network trouble was literally just a cable loose elsewhere (other factors inc the hub really not accepting its own ethernet connections asside from my 2nd hub confused me) [04:28] i'm using 18.04.4 now and the graphics is fine, and I have my wired networking. It still doesn't see my PC's wireless but I can live with that [04:29] in the meantime i still want to know whats up with 19.10 and 20.04 with the nvidia drivers (they were stuttering) [04:34] Bashing-om, this is what I see: https://imgur.com/a/04pnzp1 [04:34] And if I click on "Report problem...", it just disappears. I'm kinda expecting it to bring up another dialog, given the "..." in the button text. [04:36] In htop, I see that the `update-notifier` process is still there though. [04:37] It's a child process of my /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-binary --session=ubuntu [04:38] Hi. [04:38] i just noticed that there is one app called Google Drive Sample in my Ubuntu. I never installed such app and i could not find its executable. does it come preinstalled with Ubuntu like amazon lenses? [04:38] how do I find its executable name? [04:40] k_sze: looking. [04:43] k_sze: Sorry - I do not know enough about apport to advise on this :( Maybe re-install apport ? [05:42] ok regarding my network not connecting , whats happening is: I've got a hub, then an apple wifi point in another room (hub-> PC1, hub->apple wifi ->Router->PC2,other devices [05:42] any attempt to directly connect PC's to the hub fails [05:42] but they work fine on the other side of the apple thing [05:42] that seems weird to me [05:43] i'm sure i had it working direct before [05:43] (i also had a loose cable but when i saw 'PC1 not working' i thought it was a deeper problem) === EdT137 is now known as EdFletcher [08:59] Does anyone know a way to disable `/usr/share/locale//Compose` when enabling Compose Key?I created an `~/.XCompose` which gets read correctly except most places say you need to explicitly do `include "%L"` to get the locale's default compose list, however without that line it seems to be adding the locale's compose list anywhere which is [08:59] behavior I would like to remove if possible === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [10:11] hi, I have a problem where I can't seem to disable the dead keys option from the keyboard layout. I've tried the keyboard settings (XFCE) and setxkbmap. Neither seem to have effect. Where might the issue be? [10:13] Hello. When it comes to the sound, I have configured my ubuntu 18.x to use specific apps on specific ports, but ... I still hear *something* on my headphones, how to test what it is? Shouldn't that be enough: https://imgur.com/a/jFT6N2I ? [10:41] I am not sure whether I'm asking the question in the correct chat room, but ... I just ripped a DVD with ogmrip. I then tried to do another. It doesn't seem to find it, though Ubuntu 19.10 found it. [10:41] And when I try to use ogmrip, it talks of an "unknown error" [10:42] And a second question ... that same Ubuntu tells me that I'm running 5.3.0.23 wheras it expects to be running 5.3.0 [10:43] .405.3.0.40 [10:43] Oops, 5.3.0.40 [10:44] How do I "upgrade" the kernel to ~.40 [10:48] Sbur3: what does uname -r result with in terminal [10:49] jeremy31: It says 5.3.0-23-lowlatency [10:49] Sbur3: did you reboot since installing the newer kernel? [10:49] jeremy31: But I've already upgraded to 5.3.0-40-lowlatency [10:50] did you restart after upgrading? [10:50] I believe so. Maybe not. Is it that stupid a thing? [10:50] err, jeremy31 already asked that, somehow I missed it [10:50] Sbur3: That could be the issue or it could be an error with the kernel install, or grub problem [10:50] jeremy31: geirha: I had thought so, but maybe not [10:51] run uptime and estamite if you've rebooted since upgrading [10:51] jeremy31: Is there a way to check that out before I reboot or should I begin by rebooting?

I have a VPS running 16.04.6 LTS and running do-release-upgrade is saying "Checking for a new Ubuntu release, No new release found [12:52] and trying "do-release-upgrade -d" but also giving: Checking for a new Ubuntu release. Upgrades to the development release are only available from the latest supported release. [12:52] any idea? [12:56] IonutVan_: perhaps you have prompt=never in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [12:57] Ool, I have Prompt=lts [12:57] and that's a;; [12:57] IonutVan_, tour software sources in the package manger is probly set to "long term releases only" (LTS) [12:57] all* [12:57] your [12:58] BluesKaj, in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[13:07] BluesKaj, I would like to upgrade to LTS, is "normal" the right option? [13:07] and why is not gibing me the option to go to 18.04 having LTS there? [13:08] Perhaps the VPS has done some custom changes to its ubuntu-images [13:08] no, lts is what you want , don't use the -d in the do-release-upgrade command [13:08] that's for development releases [13:09] ah, that makes sense [13:09] BluesKaj, with d or without d I still don't get the option to upgrade [13:09] now I am trying to add normal instead of lts in that file and run without d [13:10] this means that will upgrade to 18.04 LTS? [13:10] IonutVan_, trying to upgrade to 18.04 ? [13:10] sure, is LTS and I also want LTS [13:10] is a server :D [13:10] from 17.10? if so it's eol , end of life [13:11] 16.04 [13:11] Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS [13:12] then the lts setting in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades should work [13:12] BluesKaj, did you read my first two sentences? [13:12] :) [13:12] so, any solution? [13:13] yes, but I don't know why the command do-release-upgrade isn't working [13:13] me neither [13:14] IonutVan_, try with 'normal' but abort suddenly if it gives you 19.10 or your sources.list will be overwritten [13:14] unless you have some ppas in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d [13:22] BluesKaj, I don't [13:26] IonutVan_, I know very little about VPS setups so there could be a communication/command issue there, not sure [13:27] hi which LO version is ubuntu 19.04 LTS using ? [13:27] is 19.04 even LTS [13:27] no [13:27] littlekimmy: 19.04 is eol [13:29] so 18.04 LTS is using which version of LO, when compared to 19.10 [13:29] do LTS use the older version of LO?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [13:52] Odd problem with a 16.04 server...it stops responding to pings for a couple minutes at a time [13:52] I can see them coming in as RX packets but nothing ever gets sent out [13:53] then if I start pinging FROM that server to any other IP address after a few seconds it starts working again [13:54] mguy: sounds like a ##networking problem? [13:54] It does since I can't find anything in the server logs etc [13:56] But it's only this server that has the problem [13:58] mguy: are you admin of your server? [13:58] yes [13:59] mguy: you could check your firewall? [13:59] I turned ufw logging on but it doesn't seem to show anything related [14:01] Hello, anyone know if CVE-2018-15473 is backported into 18.04.3 LTS openssh-server version OpenSSH_7.6p1 ? [14:02] easy to find, https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2018/CVE-2018-15473.html [14:03] (1:7.6p1-4ubuntu0.1) [14:03] I am on that page [14:03] How can I verify it, these PCI compliance "people" are not fun [14:04] 2 fixes on 6 nov 2018 https://usn.ubuntu.com/3809-1/ [14:05] irrgit: keep in mind that 18.04.4 is out now, keeping your system up to date is wise [14:06] lotuspsychje, thank you, I will also check into that [14:07] !uptodate | irrgit [14:07] irrgit: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. [14:15] hey what's the way to draw boxes in LO like in here https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf [14:19] !ot | littlekimmy [14:20] littlekimmy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:20] but there is no one in #libreoffice [14:20] and ubuntu helps me and is *very close* to editing word office docs [14:20] as that's the basic use of ubuntu [14:22] this isn't the channel for that... and you know cross posting is frowned on [14:22] something like LO > table > insert table > choose format [14:22] clearly you did no research for this [14:32] hi [14:33] :-) [14:33] Hello Aadam, Welcome to the Ubuntu support channel. Is there something that the volunteers here can help you with today? [14:35] hi [14:35] https://thesafety.us/vpn-setup-ikev2-ubuntu17 [14:35] how to do the same using commands only [14:37] something like this? https://support.strongvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004594693-OpenVPN-Setup-Ubuntu-Linux-Command-Line [14:38] and why comandline, as you use a desktop with a gui? [14:39] yes [14:39] however I want to write wiki using commands only [14:40] oke, test it out, if it works for you, write it down [14:40] because linux has different UI [14:41] and this wiki is for ubuntu only:? [14:42] we have a good wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [14:42] * oerheks not interested in more wiki's, make 1 good wiki, help ubuntu-wiki [14:44] it's for ikev2 for ircnow vpn [14:44] how to use ircnow vpn on 1) linux 2) windows 3) android.... [14:45] for that purpose [14:45] for linux I just installed ubuntu [14:46] for tutorial [14:46] Aadam: it would be preferred if you were to contribute to the documentation already available on Ubuntu's help pages. More people will see it there, it will benefit from regular audits, and can be updated regularly by the community [14:47] link that vpn page to our wiki, done [14:47] lolz [14:47] sure I can write the same tutorial on ubuntu's help page but also need on ircnow because users get service from there then need to see how to setup [14:48] i think you have enough info now, go test it [14:48] ok, let me try [14:53] Any idea how to fix this? "gio: smb://server/share: volume doesn’t implement mount" [14:54] zetheroo: Are you forwarding a request from another person or channel? [14:54] pragmaticenigma: no, why? [14:55] zetheroo: because your cut and paste as the same format as if you were relaying a message from another person [14:56] ok [14:56] zetheroo: where are you typing that ? where are you seeing the message? [14:57] pragmaticenigma: in Ubuntu 18.04.4 [14:57] command: gio mount smb://server/share [14:58] The share is mountable via samba ... it's mounted on my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop [14:58] I am trying to mount it on Ubuntu 18.04.4 server via the command line [14:59] zetheroo: I assume you're sanitizing the command when posting here? [14:59] yes [14:59] it's not actually "server" and "share" [15:00] That's fine, I'm just trying to make sure I have a good grasp on the issue [15:00] sure [15:00] zetheroo: are you able to ping "server" ? [15:01] yes [15:01] via it's hostname and IP [15:01] zetheroo: Has the samba client packages been installed? [15:04] oh god ... I'm such an idiot ... no, installed it now but unfortunately still getting that same output from the 'gio mount' command [15:09] might need a restart? im not very familiar with gio [15:10] rebooted ... no go [15:14] zetheroo: Just did a little digging... gio requires that the username and password already be saved in the users keyring... since this is server... you are going to need to do the normal "sudo mount -t cifs -o..." route [15:15] pragmaticenigma: oh ok [15:18] when I try to mount a windows share in nautilus on ubuntu 18.04, I get the error "Failed to mount Windows share: no such file or directory". However, mounting from the terminal with mount -t cifs -o... works just fine. [15:55] how do I move media wiki to ssl? [15:55] a2enmod mediawiki - great [15:55] but I want to move it to the ssl side of my webserver. [15:56] you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server [16:00] Hello, is anyone here? [16:00] sudo a2ensite mediawiki.conf && sudo a2enmod rewrite # looking at https://websiteforstudents.com/install-mediawiki-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts-beta-with-apache2-mariadb-and-php-7-1-support/ [16:00] what guide did you folow KungFoo ? [16:04] pncl: 1195 users are [16:05] Thank you. [16:09] I have a ThinkPad P1 Gen2, with Ubuntu 18.04 installed, updated and upgraded, BIOS updated to latest version. The fans keep kicking in every 5-10 minutes. I have tried many 'solutions' I found online to no avail. Does anyone, by any chance, know a fix for this I can try? [16:18] why are fans kicking in a problem? [16:18] surely with a huge task/playing video [16:20] the nvidia quadro is supported with nvidia 430 driver and up [16:20] but fans should work, i guess [16:26]
