| mmlj4 | I know it has the standard tools, but I also know it's a sudo-based distro, and I have one shot at adding a user, I can't fiddle with this and I can't go back and fix it, the server ships tomorrow | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| leftyfb | one shot at adding a user? Why is that? | 00:00 |
| mmlj4 | because the server ships tomorrow | 00:00 |
| mmlj4 | can someone else please help me out with this? | 00:01 |
| leftyfb | I don't understand the issue. You sound like someone that should be familiar with "*nix" and should easily be able to run adduser to create a user. Or run "man adduser" and see how to use it properly. | 00:01 |
| mmlj4 | O' | 00:02 |
| mmlj4 | I've only mentioned sudo twice now, maybe you missed it | 00:02 |
| leftyfb | what about it? | 00:02 |
| leftyfb | you have yet to ask a question regarding sudo | 00:02 |
| leftyfb | mmlj4: in order to give a user the ability to use sudo, you add them to the sudoers group .... like every other "*nix" that uses sudo ... which is most of them. | 00:03 |
| leftyfb | mmlj4: do you know how to add users to groups? | 00:04 |
| leftyfb | mmlj4: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-sudo-user-on-ubuntu-quickstart # found on google by search for "ubuntu add user to sudoers" | 00:05 |
| leftyfb | mmlj4: if you already have a user with the right groups you want to mirror, I would edit /etc/group directly and search and do a search and replace :%s/:myuser/:myuser,newuser/g which will add the newuser to all the same groups as myuser | 00:07 |
| sarnold | man that's a lot of work; just sudo adduser usernamehere admin # repeat for each necessary group | 00:17 |
| leftyfb | either way, someone who refers to "every other *nix" and is under a deadline to ship a server really should know all of this stuff | 00:18 |
| sarnold | which reminds me, I wonder what happened to the guy who didn't just use adduser when adding a new group to a user account and managed to remove himself from the sudo and admin groups in the process. he never replied after we told him to re-add himself immediately.. | 00:20 |
| anden | how do i disable the touchpad on the login screen? xinput does a great job of disabling it once i'm logged in, but i'm a bit sick of it messing with me entering my password all the time | 00:25 |
| ChiLLabiS | Hi! I have a question about Wine. I have to add an repo from openSUSE to install Wine on Ubuntu. Is those key packages available on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS? | 00:26 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: wine questions should go to #winehq. We do not recommend adding repo's from other distro's, especially ones not even based on debian. Ubuntu 20.04 support is found in #ubuntu+1 | 00:28 |
| ChiLLabiS | I still see this as an Ubuntu question.. But i've asked in #winehq | 00:31 |
| ChiLLabiS | Since it is regarding to Ubuntu's repo | 00:31 |
| anden | why do you want to get wine from that repo specifically? | 00:31 |
| ChiLLabiS | Because they made Wine? And i'm on Ubuntu and i want to know why Ubuntu doesn't have it in the regular repo | 00:32 |
| anden | ubuntu should have wine in its own repo | 00:32 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: sudo apt install wine | 00:32 |
| ChiLLabiS | It worked before | 00:32 |
| ChiLLabiS | now i need a another repo for it. | 00:32 |
| leftyfb | sorry, that's not right ... hold on | 00:32 |
| pragmaticenigma | ChiLLabiS, Wine is available in Ubuntu's default ... been there for a very long time | 00:32 |
| ChiLLabiS | I just wanted to know about it, i all ready have it install. Just wanted to know | 00:33 |
| anden | what's the general name for the login manager so i can google this problem? | 00:33 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: remove whatever packages you installed from the opensuse repo, remove the repo and run: sudo apt install wine64 | 00:34 |
| anden | is that it, "login manager" ? | 00:34 |
| leftyfb | anden: gdm | 00:34 |
| anden | that's for gnome though? i'm on Lubuntu 18.04 | 00:34 |
| ChiLLabiS | Ah okay. but don't i need the i386 architecture though? | 00:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, lightdm | 00:34 |
| anden | and that sounds very specific, when i said general name i meant a term that applies to any login screen for any distro | 00:34 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: installing wine64 will install all the dependencies you need | 00:34 |
| ChiLLabiS | I've read somewhere on the net that Ubuntu will stop distrubuting i386 packages | 00:34 |
| ChiLLabiS | Okay thanks | 00:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, Desktop Managers are typically what handle the login process | 00:35 |
| anden | i see | 00:35 |
| pragmaticenigma | that's what the DM stands for in both of the suggested options | 00:35 |
| anden | would it be possible to run any xinput commands for the login process though? | 00:36 |
| anden | or is that not a full X environment yet so that wouldn't work? | 00:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, That depends on the DM that you are using. gdm and sddm need an authenticated session to perform certain tasks | 00:36 |
| anden | i thought so | 00:37 |
| ChiLLabiS | Did an apt-cache search and found the correct wine names for installation. Thanks | 00:37 |
| anden | well yeah it is lightdm, and i just wanna disable the touchpad | 00:37 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: also, opensuse did not make wine | 00:37 |
| ChiLLabiS | They didn't? | 00:37 |
| anden | because when i type my password on login, the side of my palm always slightly touches the touchpad, even when i angle my hand, and screws around with the mouse so that it messes up the login | 00:38 |
| anden | and it's not like i need it there anyway, i can navigate the entire login screen with the keyboard only | 00:38 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: wine was developed 6 years before OpenSuse existed | 00:39 |
| ChiLLabiS | Aha okay. I thought it had since i needed that repo for installing a missing dependencies | 00:40 |
| anden | and if i can't disable the touchpad, i'd at least like for it to be disabled while i am typing | 00:40 |
| ChiLLabiS | Well then. I'v satisfied again. Looking forward for the next LTS | 00:40 |
| leftyfb | ChiLLabiS: you do not need anything from opensuse in order to run wine in ubuntu | 00:40 |
| ChiLLabiS | i'M* | 00:40 |
| anden | maybe i can make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and disable it in there somehow? i saw some related things on https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad | 00:43 |
| anden | i'm assuming that would apply to the login screen too? | 00:43 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, It is possible... however, do note that if you didn't create the config file, it may get overwritten during on upgrade of the packages or ubuntu version later. | 00:45 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, In otherwords if you find the setting... place it in "41-libinput.conf" instead, to avoid to repo updates from changing it later | 00:45 |
| anden | sure, that sounds like a good idea. any idea how i can figure out what to type into that file to disable the touchpad though? | 00:46 |
| anden | also, there is no config file there currently, i just copied that name from the webpage i linked | 00:47 |
| anden | i will try the accepted answer from here https://askubuntu.com/questions/919495/how-to-disable-touchpad-completely-on-boot | 00:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | anden, I also found this one: https://askubuntu.com/questions/65951/how-to-disable-the-touchpad | 00:48 |
| pragmaticenigma | your's might work a bit better as it's for a more recent version | 00:49 |

| anden | wonderful, it works! | 00:51 |
| anden | thanks for the help <3 | 00:51 |
| anden | i'm guessing re-enabling it after that isn't so easy though? | 00:52 |
| anden | if i were to need it again after being logged in? | 00:52 |
| anden | not that i probably will, just trying to learn here | 00:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | you could probably write an script with xinput and set it up to auto run in your sesssion | 00:54 |
| anden | that's what i had before, but now xinput doesn't even find the device | 00:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah | 00:54 |
| pragmaticenigma | hmm | 00:54 |
| anden | i'm guessing i would have to do something as root, at the very least | 00:55 |
| anden | since it was disabled by root | 00:55 |
| pragmaticenigma | that's possible... it's something I'm not too familiar with | 00:56 |
| anden | well thanks anyway, like i said i'm not likely to use it anyway. i'm on a thinkpad and the trackpoint is just way better :) | 00:56 |

| pdebruic | Is there a list of the kernel versions that were distributed to ubuntu 18.04 versions that have been upgraded from an 18.04 install (e.g. not from an 18.04.1 or .2 or .3 install) | 01:21 |
| pdebruic | sarnold: my nics use the igb driver, which is provided by intel. Do you think it could be the real probelm or could it be a config issue on my machine I don't know how to detect? | 01:22 |
| sarnold | pdebruic: for the "original" kernels, check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux for a big list of them | 01:24 |
| sarnold | pdebruic: no idea on that second question :( | 01:25 |
| pdebruic | thanks. me neither. | 01:25 |
| pdebruic | what are the ways the network can be configured in 18.04? I know /etc/network/interfaces but it seems like somethine else is in use as it only specifies a static ipv4 address but there is a virbr0 that shows up when I hit ifconfig | 01:37 |
| sarnold | netplan.io can generate some config for either systemd-networkd or networkmanager | 01:40 |
| sarnold | virbr0 is probably from libvirt | 01:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | pdebruic, I don't believe /etc/network/interfaces is used anymore... everything in 18.04 uses either netplan.io or network manager to configure systemd-networkd | 01:46 |
| sarnold | /etc/network/interfaces can still be used if you want to install ifupdown though -- https://netplan.io/faq#how-to-go-back-to-ifupdown | 01:48 |

To the point that installing the package does more harm than good. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1853449 Can someone mark gajim-omemo in the version that ships with 19.10 as conflicting with python3-axolotl in that version? | 13:06 |

| Rojola | Hello! I'm experiencing the problem, that my WiFi keeps getting disconnected every couple of minutes. So, I have to make it fast, and if anybody answers, please be aware, I might get disconnected! It's a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter" | 15:21 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: Often the installers will offer the ability to change partition sizes for you. Note, you should always use a live boot disk to change Root partition sizes. | 15:21 |
| Rojola | I did a lot of googling, and there are MANY reports of such an issue online for this model | 15:21 |

| Rojola | However, the problem is, that the solutions are all VERY different, and most of them want me to change my driver. | 15:22 |
| Rojola | However it has always worked well for other WiFi networks. | 15:22 |
| ericus | pragmaticenigma they do yeah, but I feel that will break my working installation | 15:22 |
| Rojola | Only this one specific WiFi network seems to cause issues. | 15:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | Rojola: Recommendation is to use a hardwired connection or more stable adpater while here. No one is going to help you if they know you're going to disappear frequenetly | 15:22 |
| ericus | I'm on a live USB right now trying to figure out how to resize my encrypted disk | 15:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: You either have to trust it won't or don't do it in the first place. Whether you use the installer or a live disk... it is the exact same tool used to manage the partitions. From a live disk, use gparted. | 15:23 |
| Rojola | But, on my phone, the same wifi network works perfectly. | 15:23 |
| ericus | I'll break it if I use gparted, and select resize? or no? | 15:23 |
| mauroc | Hi guys, i have a problem with an hdmi ultra wide monitor and ubuntu. If a connect a 1920x1080 monitor, everything is fine. With the ultrawide one, no hdmi monitor is detected. I checked the cable and i tried to connect a PS4 to the monitor, and it's works | 15:23 |
| Rojola | pragmaticenigma, I can use my mobile internet, but then we can not bugfix the wifi connection | 15:24 |
| mauroc | do you have some hints? | 15:24 |
| Rojola | the disconnects only happen every 10 minutes or so | 15:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | Rojola: That is not at all what I said now is it? The machine in question is going to need a stable connection. So either use ethernet or find another wifi adapter while you troubleshoot | 15:24 |
| ericus | pragmaticenigma gparted wont let me resize it | 15:26 |
| ericus | do I need to mount it in a chroot env? | 15:27 |
| ericus | or something along those lines | 15:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: It should be boot live disk, and launch gparted | 15:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: Is this a UEFI machine? | 15:28 |
| === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy | ||
| ericus | not sure if it is UEFI or just bios | 15:28 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: Probably a good idea to find out | 15:31 |
| ericus | it is UEFI pragmaticenigma | 15:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: I'm not familiar enough with UEFI systems. It's possible that is what is preventing manipulation of the harddrive. Are you using a live instance that is also UEFI enabled? | 15:34 |
| ericus | how would I tell that pragmaticenigma? | 15:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | when you selected the boot device, one of the options with the USB listings should have mentioned UEFI | 15:37 |
| ericus | yeah it is UEFI | 15:37 |
| ericus | the USB | 15:37 |
| oerheks | something like F8 boot-options? | 15:37 |
| oerheks | legacy/uefi | 15:37 |
| ericus | it's UEFI | 15:38 |
| ericus | gparted still wont let me resize the encrypted partition | 15:39 |
| ericus | there is sda1, sda2 and sda3. Boot, swap and / | 15:39 |
| pragmaticenigma | ericus: Oh... it's encrypted | 15:40 |
| ericus | luks+lvm | 15:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | yeah... won't be able to resize that | 15:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | You have to decrypt the drive before you can change that stuff around | 15:40 |
| ericus | haha, thats why I asked if I dont need to mount it first ;) | 15:41 |

| rana_ans | hi can anyone help me with this? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6QfZvRVQsW/ | 16:15 |
| eldowan | I've got a split DNS network. From the DHCP server, the DNS is set to our unbound server. When resolv.conf is pointed to loopback like default, I get the public DNS results. When I edit resolv.conf I get our internal address. My android phones work from DHCP with no problem. How can I start to troubleshoot this? | 16:17 |
| eldowan | to clarify, my ubuntu workstations are experiencing the issue, not the DNS server itself. | 16:17 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: Can you go into more detail of your DNS server and client configs? What you posted above leaves a lot out | 16:18 |
| === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius | ||
| leftyfb | eldowan: in fact, lets go over this 1 thing at a time .... how many DNS servers do you have on your local network? | 16:19 |
| oerheks | random_yanek, maybe you want to reask in #ros ? | 16:20 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: they're gone | 16:20 |
| oerheks | oops, gone | 16:20 |
| eldowan | leftyfb: I've got 1 DNS server, a netgate SG1100. it's using unbound as a DNS resolver, non-authoratitave. In the config, I have a line similar to: local-zone: "eldowan.duckdns.org" redirect \n local-data: "eldowan.duckdns.org 86400 IN A 10.0.0.75" | 16:28 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: ok, so you have a pfsense firewall/router that runs it's own DNS for local resolution and has a forwarder out to the internet for outbound resolution. Correct? | 16:29 |
| eldowan | correct. | 16:30 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: ok, and your DHCP gives out what address(s) for DNS to clients? | 16:30 |
| eldowan | the router's local LAN address of 10.0.0.1. | 16:30 |
| eldowan | output of systemd-resolve --status https://pastebin.com/c36qqcTF | 16:31 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: ok, and on your ubuntu client, what doesn't work? | 16:32 |
| eldowan | when I ping the duckdns.org host, I receive the correct public IP address. When I change resolv.conf to use the 10.0.0.1 address, I ping the internal 10. address, which is the desired behavior | 16:33 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: why are you changing anything? | 16:33 |
| eldowan | at first to see if the reason I was getting the public IP instead of internal IP was a client or server issue. | 16:33 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: your client is already using 10.0.0.1 as it's resolver. There's no point in changing resolv.conf | 16:34 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: ok, so your pfsense router is configured to resolve a public ip address to an internal local ip address? | 16:35 |
| eldowan | I want to agree with you. which is why i'm confused. | 16:35 |
| leftyfb | sorry, public hostname | 16:35 |
| eldowan | correct. | 16:35 |
| leftyfb | why? | 16:35 |
| eldowan | I'm running a seafile server as a self hosted dropbox replacement, and due to their design decisions it won't work correctly unless it's getting the hostname as a referrer. Their support specifically directed me to set up a split DNS. | 16:36 |
| eldowan | On an old Acer router/wifi AP it was all working great, but it failed and I replaced it with a pfsense box. | 16:37 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: ok, your issue is with your pfsense server configs. Not ubuntu. | 16:38 |
| leftyfb | eldowan: you can confirm this using dig or host. host duckdns.org 10.0.0.1 # and host duckdns.org 1.1.1.1 | 16:38 |
| eldowan | ok, I don't know what's up, but I didn't change anything. Now my workstation is properly returning the internal IP addresses. | 16:42 |
| eldowan | Last night when I was testing, I would get returned the A record of my public address when i used dig on 127.0.0.1 resolv.conf, and the internal address when I edited resolv.conf for 10.0.0.1 | 16:43 |
| eldowan | This may be an issue with my laptop that I dont' have powered on right now, my other machines are reporting correctly too. | 16:44 |
| eldowan | thanks for trying to help leftyfb, I appreciate it although it looks like i'm not having troubles at all right now... | 16:44 |

| Rojola | I am back with my mobile internet connection. | 17:30 |
| Rojola | Should I repeat my question for a few hours ago? | 17:30 |
| Rojola | I'm experiencing the problem, that my WiFi keeps getting disconnected every couple of minutes. | 17:32 |
| Rojola | It's a "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter" | 17:32 |
| Rojola | I did a lot of googling, and there are MANY reports of such an issue online for this model | 17:32 |
| Rojola | However, the problem is, that the solutions are all VERY different, and most of them want me to change my driver. | 17:32 |
| viju | When's the new LTS coming out? | 17:32 |
| Rojola | the interesting thing is, that it only affects one single network | 17:33 |
| Rojola | all other WiFi networks work perfectly | 17:33 |
| Rojola | the one WiFi network that is affected by this issue causes no problems on my phone + tablet | 17:33 |
| Rojola | so, the WiFi seems to be okay, and also my driver for the WiFi hardware seems to be OK | 17:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !20.04 | viju | 17:34 |
| ubottu | viju: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) will be the 32nd release of Ubuntu, scheduled for April 2020 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be a long-term support release. Join #ubuntu+1 for support and questions. | 17:34 |
| kristian_ | My ubuntu just went dark and it said "/dev/nvme0n1p7: clean, 654197/6111232 files, 14653923/24413952 blocks" - I had to force restart my pc and when the login screen came it was like in 640x480 resolution. This is the second time I experience this with this (newly built machine) | 17:36 |
| kristian_ | what could be causing this? | 17:36 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: are you using the recommended driver for your gfx? | 17:36 |
| EriC^^ | "sudo ubuntu-drivers devices" | 17:37 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: maybe some gfx problem and something crashing, /var/log/syslog might have info on the issue as well as /var/crash or /var/log/apport | 17:38 |
| oerheks | in the past, some have fixed that RTL8188EE by setting antenna on 2, echo "options rtl8188ee ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8188ee.conf ## sudo modprobe -r rtl8188ee && sudo modprobe rtl8188ee ## and reboot | 17:38 |
| EriC^^ | apport.log* | 17:38 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, this is recommended: "nvidia-driver-440 - third-party free recommended" and I am using "NVIDIA driver metapackage form nvidia-driver-440 (open source) | 17:39 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, this is my syslog: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FGjTnNwccw/ | 17:42 |
| EriC^^ | nope that's not where it restarted | 17:43 |
| EriC^^ | the restart should mention something like linux ...kernel here... kernel parameters, blabla | 17:44 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, there are 2 files in var/crash but those are older | 17:44 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, there are 2 files in var/crash but those are older | 17:44 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 17:45 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: does grep -ei "segfault|error" /var/log/kern.log give anything interesting? | 17:46 |
| EriC^^ | sorry grep -Ei ... | 17:46 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/36g9GW9Q8Y/ looks like it | 17:48 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, I actually had very similar errors while tryinig to boot the ubuntu installer and was suggested to use nomodeset flag to even get it to install | 17:49 |
| EriC^^ | you mean the "fsck clean" stuff? | 17:49 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: the errors in kern.log aren't very important i think, the time between the [ ..... ] is seconds since boot, so most are directly after pressing the power button | 17:50 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, I dont see the fsck clean stuff but I mean this "ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (0x000000007) is beyond end of object (length 0x6) (20190703/exoparg2-396)" | 17:50 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: yeah that's acpi related, maybe it might help to use the acpi workarounds for linux (so it pretends to be windows for the bios) | 17:51 |
| kristian_ | hm ok, so the error happend minutes ago idk maybe 10-15mins | 17:51 |
| kristian_ | maybe a bit more | 17:51 |
| EriC^^ | are you able to set the right resolution right now? | 17:52 |
| kristian_ | yeah it was fine as soon as I logged in | 17:52 |
| EriC^^ | i see, try typing "sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows" | 17:53 |
| kristian_ | I have also run some gpu benchmarks which seemed ok (I don't know much about it) | 17:53 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/thmYG24Pbf/ | 17:54 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: ok, type "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" | 17:54 |
| kristian_ | it's a dual boot with windows 10 - and I have had sudden restarts from windows (but while away, I just noticed because when I came back ubuntu was booted) | 17:54 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, do you want to see the contents or do I have to edit the file? | 17:55 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: edit the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\"" | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | i see kristian_ | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's some memory problem, did you try running a memtest? | 17:56 |
| fd2 | how can i open folder with root ? in mint there is popup menu. but in ubuntu - isn't | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | fd2: which filemanager are you using | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | fd2: if you want you can always type "sudo -H <your filemanager>" and get a browser with root privileges | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | otherwise you'll have to install a plugin for your filemanager i guess, or one that supports it out of the box | 17:58 |
| lotuspsychje | fd2: in nautilus ctrl + l then admin:/// | 17:58 |
| fd2 | EriC^^, the default | 17:59 |
| EriC^^ | which ubuntu version? | 17:59 |
| fd2 | EriC^^, lotuspsychje, thx, u am going to try | 18:00 |
| fd2 | 18.04 | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | ok, try lotuspsychje suggestion | 18:00 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, no I haven't but actually I have ram with 2666mhz (or something like that) but in my bios I remember it was lower than that | 18:00 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: ah, give the mem test a shot | 18:01 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, how can I run a memtest? | 18:01 |
| EriC^^ | !memtest | kristian_ | 18:02 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, also if I edit that grub line then I lose the 'nomodeset' | 18:02 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: try typing 'ls /sys/firmware/efi' | 18:02 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: keep it in, just make sure to add the 2 acpi_osi lines | 18:03 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, so: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\"" | 18:05 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: yup that looks good, save and exit | 18:06 |
| EriC^^ | then 'sudo update-grub' | 18:06 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, ok - your ls command gives me 'config_table efivars esrt fw_platform_size fw_vendor runtime runtime-map systab vars' | 18:06 |
| smalltalk | hey guys I've had 19.10 installed on a dell inspiron 15 7000 that I usually use an external monitor (HDMI) .. usually it runs fine, but if I take it off hdmi and battery usually docker crashes and it starts get slow and unresponsive until I reboot and goes to initramfs, after I run fsck on /dev/sdb3 (the ssd, it also has a hdd) it finds some bad blocks and fixes, after I reboot it's all good until I plug it in and off | 18:06 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: i think if it's also failing in windows, must be some hardware issue, most likely | 18:06 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, could ram with the "wrong" mhz be causing this? | 18:07 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: ok, that means you're using uefi mode, memtest isnt installed by default, if you want, you can boot a live usb of ubuntu in legacy mode, and you will get the memtest option in the menu, next to try ubuntu, install, etc | 18:07 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, I would need to set the nomodeset then again though - correcto? | 18:08 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: or you can download memtest for uefi here for free https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm | 18:08 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: i didnt get what you mean about the nomodeset again | 18:09 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, I'll just download it | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | yeah it's easier | 18:09 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: i'd ask in ##hardware about the ram/mhz, i've no clue sorry | 18:10 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: could it be that it's overheating? | 18:10 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, ok but if I see correctly i have to download it, put in on a stick and boot it. there's no way to do it directly on a running ubuntu machine? | 18:11 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: try "grep -i thermal /var/log/syslog" see if anything shows up | 18:11 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: i think there must be | 18:11 |
| EriC^^ | 1 sec | 18:11 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, I doubt it since I just started my machine started 2 programs and then it happened. I have been gaming on windows where the pc gets quite a bit louder (I guess hotter too) | 18:11 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: i think you have to write it to a usb or cd | 18:14 |
| EriC^^ | do you not have any at all to use? | 18:14 |
| EriC^^ | again if you have a live usb at hand, you can use boot and use that since it has memtest by default | 18:14 |
| kristian_ | EriC^^, ok I think I'll use my ubuntu stick I have lying aroung then | 18:14 |
| kristian_ | thanks a lot will be back when it's done | 18:15 |
| kristian_ | really appreciate the help | 18:15 |
| EriC^^ | kristian_: no worries, it'll take like 8 hours or something fwiw | 18:15 |
| kris7ian | EriC^^: looks like ubuntu won’t boot anymore since adding that grub flag :/ | 18:19 |

| Aleric | The table given on https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-linux doesn't match though... I have gcc 7.5.0 | 19:32 |
| linuxgecko | i have need of a terrible solution. is there an "easy" to install / on a lvm in a file on an lvm?(yes, it's nested) | 19:33 |
| Aleric | Also, I'm running kernel 5.2.0 :(. But if I reboot now I won't have any GUI at all. | 19:33 |
| dw1 | apt update cant resolve DNS, users cant resolve DNS, and i found with nslookup users have server 127.0.0.1 (not in resolv.conf) but root uses 127.0.0.53 (in resolv.conf) .. wtf? | 19:33 |
| dw1 | 18.04 | 19:33 |
| leftyfb | dw1: then you have a DNS issue | 19:33 |
| leftyfb | dw1: 127.0.0.x is for the local DNS caching as part of systemd-resolved | 19:34 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: Yup: 440 driver for that card: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa = install the hardware then the driver. | 19:34 |
| dw1 | root can resolve, others cant | 19:34 |
| dw1 | because of the IP issue | 19:34 |

| ubottu | Aleric: Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. | 19:35 |
| dimm | Hello, All! Ubuntu 18.04. How i can get unlimited for creating core dump? /etc/security/limits.conf contents "* soft core unlimited | 19:36 |
| dimm | ", but under user 'ulimit -c' return '0' | 19:36 |
| Aleric | Bashing-om: what does nomodeset do? | 19:38 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: Disables Kernel Mode Setting to allow you to boot with the vesa driver - until your get the Nvidia driver installed :D | 19:40 |
| Bashing-om | dimm: systemd: try: https://sskaje.me/systemd-ulimit/ . | 19:41 |
| Aleric | I'll just install nvidia without cuda for now - until I have the 2080 running | 19:41 |
| Bashing-om | alw' sudo apt update ; duso apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall '. Allow the sysytem to do its thing. | 19:42 |
| Aleric | I need to know one thing though: doing this compiles the nvidia driver for the running kernel (5.2.0), but what will happen when I boot to 4.15? No nvidia driver right? How can I cause the driver to be compiled after booting? | 19:42 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: ^^ | 19:42 |
| Aleric | I should run that before rebooting? | 19:43 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: DKMS should be installed - that will take care in a new kernel :D | 19:43 |
| Aleric | It is installed | 19:44 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: ^^ that above will install the driver that the kernel deems best. | 19:44 |
| Aleric | ok - lemme start with booting to 4.15 brb, I hope! | 19:45 |
| dw1 | k idk what it was i rebooted it fixed it | 19:50 |
| linuxgecko | i have need of a terrible solution. is there an "easy" way to install / on a lvm in a file on an lvm?(yes, it's nested) | 19:53 |
| dimm | Bashing-om, thanks a lot, working | 19:54 |

| madbilly | Hi all, I'm struggling to get a new bluetooth USB adapter working with my desktop. It is labelled CSR 4.0 and apparently has model number BTD-401 and chipset CSR8510 | 20:10 |
| madbilly | With the adapter plugged in, in the settings GUI when I try to turn Bluetooth on the switch turns orange but only moves a little bit; if I change focus to another app and leave the settings visible it turns grey but the switch moves to ON and when I return focus to the settings GUI it returns to OFF | 20:11 |

| madbilly | oerheks: thanks! I don't know how I don't find these things myself sometimes, I searched a lot last night! :) | 20:18 |
| oerheks | tip: buy an other adapter | 20:18 |
| madbilly | I should have tried searching for the lsusb or hciconfig return shouldn't I... obvious now | 20:19 |
| Aleric | Bashing-om: too much to paste here and I don't want to start my browser yet (that opens again 40 tabs) | 20:20 |
| oerheks | it is a power issue, not sure why the notes and proposals are not applied yet. | 20:21 |
| Aleric | Anyway, I'm going to put the new graphics card in now. | 20:21 |

| oerheks | madbilly, add yourself to this bugreport https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1774640 | 20:22 |

| madbilly | oerheks: will do, thanks :+1: | 20:23 |
| oerheks | madbilly, with this fix page, ofcourse, if it works for you too. | 20:23 |
| doug16k | do I need kernel 5.4 to fix zen 2 ecc? | 20:31 |
| madbilly | oerheks: by "fix page" do you mean that launchpad bug you linked to? I don't see a fix in there except to reboot. That's not working for me, but that may be because my adapter isn't working and therefore there's no hardware to enable. | 20:32 |
| oerheks | no, from that vcfed.org page | 20:33 |
| oerheks | comment #10 | 20:33 |
| doug16k | if I did install kernel 5.4, would that screw up nvidia drivers? | 20:34 |
| Bashing-om | doug16k: Should not - see ' apt show dkms ' . | 20:38 |
| madbilly | oerheks: I don't have any messages about bluetooth firmware failing to load from dmesg | 20:39 |
| madbilly | So I think my problem requires the kernel fix which is mentioned on page 2 | 20:40 |
| madbilly | I actually bought this for my RPi, not my x64 desktop, so I'll try it on the RPi and see if it works there (from what I understand it should, as the kernel regression doesn't affect ARM) | 20:42 |
| canasta | Hey, so this is a stab in the dark, and not a major concern. I'm working in Blender and often listen to some media in the background (youtube or w/e). After working for awhile, media stops playing. Everything loads and buffers correctly and I can scroll through the video. I have to close Blender and restart firefox to get it to work again. Simply restarting firefox doesn't help. So I'm guessing it's something with Blender. | 20:44 |
| canasta | Also, I'm new to ubuntu, and sorry for the novel :-) | 20:44 |
| doug16k | Bashing-om, installed 5.4.24-generic, seems perfect, no ecc issue. thanks for reply! | 20:51 |
| Bashing-om | doug16k: Great :D | 20:51 |
| jmcguckin | installing 18.04LTS craps out when asking for a user name. Keyboard prints weird junk. Arrow keys work fine. | 21:10 |
| sarnold | it's normally the other way around when things break, arrow keys print out junk.. | 21:11 |
| jmcguckin | I can move up/down page just fine (e.g. select disk for installing on, etc). When installer ask for username, it quickly times out and report that the install can't continue. | 21:13 |

| doug16k | jmcguckin, maybe you could switch to another virtual console and see if you are getting kernel errors there? ctrl-alt-F key | 21:22 |
| doug16k | as in F1 thru F12 key | 21:23 |
| doug16k | your USB or USB_HID driver might be freaking out about something - that would explain weirdness on the keyboard | 21:27 |

| Aleric | Bashing-om: I'm back... I put the RTX 2080 Super in - but since I only had one cable I have two other monitors connected to the old GPU, which is still in the PC too. However, only the 2080 works (that is, I only have one X server - which drives the single monitor connected to the 2080) | 21:39 |
| Aleric | I'd like to change that... but hmm. Question: how can I find which X configuration file is currently loaded? | 21:39 |
| Aleric | It used to be called /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. but apparently no longer the case :( | 21:40 |
| Bashing-om | Aleric: Yukkie on me - I have no experience with multi-monitors. Any hint though in any of the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d files ? | 21:42 |
| Aleric | I used to be an expert :/ .. but I just can't find back the config file anymore :/. Lemme look there. | 21:44 |
| sarnold | the config isn't needed for most users | 21:44 |
| sarnold | see xorg.conf(5) for a list of locations the X server will look for the config file | 21:45 |
| Aleric | I had a custom config file :/ ... but it seems that isn't used anymore even. | 21:46 |
| sarnold | hmm if you put one in place I'd expect it to be used | 21:47 |

| Fevix | I use Firefox and I recently discovered that Google accounts are global across all local accounts. Is there some way to fix this so that only my account can use Firefox with my Google account? | 23:05 |
| Fevix | If not, is there another browser I can use that DOESNT share google accounts across all local accounts? | 23:06 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: I do not think what you're saying is true. Firefox saves it's settings in your home directory | 23:07 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:07 |
| Fevix | I was logged in on only my account. I gave the laptop to a friend on a guest account, and I come back to find three new google accounts logged in on my local account | 23:07 |
| Fevix | My local account is password protected | 23:08 |
| oerheks | https://www.androidcentral.com/how-completely-reset-your-google-login-across-every-device | 23:08 |
| leftyfb | oerheks: that's not what they're looking for | 23:08 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: login to the guest account and try to access your google account in firefox there | 23:09 |
| oerheks | it must been stored in that device browser, change password after that, so that stored password is invalid | 23:09 |
| tangarora | where can I find swtpm for kvm on ubuntu? | 23:09 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 23:09 |
| Fevix | HOw can I check? | 23:10 |
| jemark | Fevix: lsb_release -a | 23:10 |
| leftyfb | tangarora: swtpmi is not an ubuntu package or a file included in any ubuntu package. There is the swtpm-mvo snap, but I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for | 23:10 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: also please pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy firefox | 23:11 |
| Fevix | https://hastebin.com/otatelisef.sql | 23:13 |

| oerheks | tangarora, i see the auth has a ppa https://launchpad.net/~stefanberger/+archive/ubuntu/swtpm-focal | 23:14 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: ok, there really should be no reason logins on your browser should be getting copied across user profiles | 23:14 |
| oerheks | or bionic https://launchpad.net/~stefanberger/+archive/ubuntu/swtpm-bionic?field.series_filter=bionic | 23:15 |
| Fevix | Lemme hop over to the other account leftyfb it might log me out here | 23:15 |
| leftyfb | Fevix: I think this requires more testing. Login to the guest account on your laptop and try to access your google account from your regular users profile. Then setup another account on the guest account and do the reverse | 23:15 |
| tangarora | OK... just wanted to have virt guests with encrypted disk images... not practical if you can un-encypt them automatically. | 23:16 |
| tangarora | can not I mean... | 23:16 |
| tangarora | This could have worked... | 23:16 |
| Fevix | Okay, maybe this was from a while back when I let them on my account. Gave them their own cause I got tired of reentering my pass every time they closed the laptop | 23:18 |
| Fevix | Couldn't get to ANY google accounts on their FIrefox (none were logged in) | 23:18 |
| Fevix | but I'm logged in on mine so | 23:18 |
| Fevix | -shrug- | 23:19 |
| tangarora | OK SUSE has it... | ibmswtpm2 | IBM's Software TPM 2.0 | package | 23:22 |
| tangarora | Maybe a better virtual host? | 23:22 |
