[00:00] Aleric: you could try to workaround apt, but it's totally up to you, full disclosure [00:00] It would be nice if I could get more debug output from apt to see what the exact reason is. [00:01] /var/lib/dpkg/status should have the 'conflicts' and whatnot which you can modify to workaround apt [00:01] In a distant past I used nvidia's .run files and that screwed by my PC so much that I had to buy another PC (I kid you not) :/ [00:01] i'd say use the run file, probably a lot less headachy [00:02] That would mean I'd write over files installed by apt... so when later I run apt my OS will likely get screwed again. [00:03] Aleric: pretty sure they integrate it into apt and stuff, just purge all current ppa's etc and use as recommended by nvidia [00:03] It would mean that every time I run apt upgrade I have to do a lot of checks and rerun nvidia specific commands to keep my system sane - I don't think I understand this spaghetti enough to be able to do that. [00:03] If I purge all ppa's I won't have 32bit support. [00:03] didn't you say the nvidia works with 32bit? [00:04] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5778 [00:04] This is thread from steam; but it describes part of the problem. [00:04] steam requires the i386 packages of the nvidia drivers. [00:04] cuda from nvidia does not support that. [00:05] So, if you install cuda, your 32bit stuff gets REMOVEd. [00:06] Nevertheless, some people post what they did to get it to work. So I think some change must be possible to the config of apt to get it to CLEANLY work. [00:08] E.g. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5778#issuecomment-585396250 [00:08] "I purged all cuda stuffs from Nvidia's repo, Installed driver from graphic driver ppa to get 32 bit support then installed cuda with the .run file locally. It is simple and everything works." [00:09] Aleric: stuff one or the other in an lxd instance perhaps? [00:09] So ppl claim that "works", but it sounds very dirty and prone to corruption later on :/ [00:09] whats lxd? [00:10] lxd is a container tool that lets you 'run' multiple systems, similar to VMs, but with less overhead [00:10] What I'm trying to do is to get apt to install whatever the .run file installs, witout removing the 32bit stuff from graphic driver ppa. [00:10] nah [00:14] Hmm [00:15] I think I'll try to keep everything from the graphic driver ppa... and ONLY install the cuda files from the nvidia repository. That should work. The question is: how to convince apt to do that? [00:16] Basically I need to change the pinning to below 500 and then force it to install ignoring dependencies. [00:16] the 'equivs' package may help you fake up dependencies [00:24] cuda-drivers : Depends: libnvidia-compute-440 (>= 440.64.00) but 440.64-0ubuntu0~0.18.04.1 is to be installed [00:24] Why the hell isn't 440.64-0ubuntu0~0.18.04.1 >= 440.64.00 ?? [00:25] I'd say it is. [00:25] Is there is howto or manual for this equivs? === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [00:30] So tried to install 18.xx.. failed at grub install.. went to live session and threw a ubipartman error... [00:30] Wierdest thing ever [00:31] Any rhoughts? [00:34] what was the error? [00:49] hi all. i have installed image editor Pinta. There is some text in log 'Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/binfmt-support.service → /lib/systemd/system/binfmt-support.service.'. is that just creation of the link? (i am noob in linux) [00:51] fd2: that's a note from systemctl that it will try to start that binfmt-support.service when the computer boots normally [00:51] fd2: systemctl status binfmt-support.service will probably include a note where the documentation can be found, and a few log entries [01:36] sarnold, thank you [01:36] you're welcome fd2 :) [01:42] Hello, any idea how to fix this problem I have with my bluetooth earbuds, they connect and function properly for around 5 seconds and then disconnect [01:43] I tried in Arch too and same thing happened [01:44] linux bluetooth support is pretty poor [01:45] are there any messages in dmesg or bluez logs that might indicate a problem? [01:45] can you show me how to access those logs please [01:45] I'm using Ubuntu 19.10 vanilla minimal install [01:45] with latest updates [01:47] EriC^^, sarnold: thanks again... https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/5778#issuecomment-598507577 [01:47] However, ... it failed :/ [01:47] hmmpf [01:47] (No space left on device) [01:48] Oh [01:48] ugh [01:48] Both /usr and /usr/local are full! :/ [01:48] poro: for dmesg, just run "dmesg" in a terminal and look near the end if there's anything that looks bluetoothish [01:49] poro: for bluez, maybe /var/log/*blu* or maybe journalctl [01:55] https://pastebin.com/vi8WJR0t [01:57] poro: oh strange... is this an external dongle or built in to the machine? does the machine have "enough" power supply? [01:57] built in bluetooth, but I've read that some systems treat it as USB [01:58] yeah [01:58] but that does rule out "you need a powered hub" [01:58] hehe [01:58] yea it should have more than enough power supply, Its connected and I have no other usb stuff connected [01:58] the laptop is charging is what I mean when I said "its connected" [01:59] and is the laptop charger powerful enough for the task at hand? [01:59] eg not a 25 watt joke or something? :) [02:00] It's a modern Thinkpad with the original charger, full battery and charger is plugged in, task at hand is nothing except for this IRC client [02:00] so It should be ok [02:03] also other bluetooth devices work fine, is just this specific bluetooth earbuds that disconnect after a few seconds [02:04] it just took me weeks to narrow down a problem with my x1c that came down to "the monitor can't supply enough power over the usb-c to run the system at full speed" [02:04] are there any updates to install through fwupd? [02:05] sudo fwupdmgr refresh && sudo fwupdmgr update [02:08] doesnt update anything but gives a error message [02:08] Failed to update metadata for lvfs: '48A6D80E4538BAC2' is not a valid signature [02:10] https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/issues/391 [02:10] looks like "try again soon" is the outcome there :/ [02:11] yea, I was reading the same page [02:12] At least I managed to fix all the other issues, been distro hopping for the last few days because of this bluetooth issue, also failure of every DE to properly scale to my HiDPI display, and Japanese input not working or certain programs [02:13] If this gets fixed in a while my Ubuntu will be perfect haha [02:14] There is this minor issue with Gnome freezing when I copy files but that doesn't bother me much [02:15] can you move the mouse around? [02:15] when copying files? nope [02:15] well maybe every 10 seconds or so the mouse will move a little bit but not enough to be usable [02:16] poro: that's probably https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1861359 [02:16] Launchpad bug 1861359 in linux (Ubuntu) "swap storms kills interactive use" [High,Confirmed] [02:16] it's happened to me a dozen times today. I'm grumpy about that... [02:17] Have you been copying files from or to a ntfs partition? [02:18] no, I almost never copy files; but can poke it through firefox or trying a ripgrep on a huge pile of data [02:18] sometimes git pulls will do it [02:19] oh so It's a swap problem [02:19] my swap is in a HDD so that probably makes it worse [02:20] the thing is, none of the systems where this has been reported have been anywhere close to the point where they *should* be swapping [02:20] I wish we could track this thing down [02:20] it doesn't make much sense [02:23] poro: as for the earbuds, probably http://www.bluez.org/contact/ the option :( [02:24] I'm trying to install the latest kernel I can find atm to see if that fixes it [02:24] if not I'll contact them [02:25] poro: these may be handy https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [02:25] thx [02:30] gotta reboot, thx for helping out! === veryloud is now known as NASA === NASA is now known as veryloud === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === nt0_ is now known as nt0 [05:48] Anybody know some brute force way of telling snap to chill [05:49] It got stuck in the middle of removing a package and even if I abort it it just keeps being stuck [05:49] not only I cant install or remove that package now but also the whole system is freezing for a few secs here and there [06:05] "apt purge snap" should work [06:06] i think there's also some way to have it repair its metadata store, though [06:06] will that remove snap completely? [06:07] or maybe other snap packages apart from the one Im having trouble with [07:04] does it matter which interface you define nameservers on with netplan? it seems not [07:04] In short, I had Ubuntu dual booted with win10, and I wanted to get rid of Ubuntu. Following a guide, I deleted the partition then tried to access the safe mode command prompt. My computer booted into a frozen GNU GRUB prompt and won' let me boot into any bootable devices === dmo139_ is now known as dmo139 [07:06] it should be possible to restore with some boot disk, you just need to have win10 write a boot sector [07:07] The computer boots straight into the frozen GNU GRUB [07:07] Won't boot into either my USB stick or USB disc drive [07:15] So am I just like SoL? [07:31] Tried something i feel is dynamically stupid but works. So tldr to access the drive plugs I have to pop off the front panel, which has the power button, which is connected via 3 contact pins so I popped it off, Unplugged the ssd, popped back in, turned on, and my computer booted into the Ubuntu live CD instead of the windows USB. So after I'm at [07:31] the gnu grub boot manager, I plugged the ssd back in and am now starting to get a live session. [07:33] So yeah, once I'm in, is there some terminal command to fix the boot table, or boot into UEFI? [07:37] Or I guess more accurately remove grub so I have just window's boot loader [07:38] Puru_Shill: you need to install the windows bootloader from windows, so try ##windows [07:38] Alright, so is there a command from Ubuntu to boot into UEFI so I can boot into windows? [07:40] Looks like googling suggests "systemctl reboot --firmware-setup"? [07:40] if grub is properly installed, it can have an entry to enter uefi firmware [07:42] As I mentioned earlier, I had windows and Ubuntu dual booted, but in an attempt to get rid of Ubuntu, following a guide, I removed the Ubuntu partition, and tried to boot to a windows USB stick [07:42] Instead I get booted into a frozen GNU GRUB prompt [07:44] Well that systemctl command did the job [07:47] And back in Windows. Thanks === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [08:26] Hey guys, is there any way I can make a script that pulls data over ssh accessible to another user that can call it but use my user ssh key? [08:33] can anybody help me find a freezing cause i tried this workaround but it still freezes https://askubuntu.com/questions/761706/ubuntu-15-10-and-16-04-keep-freezing-randomly? [08:39] PCatinean: maybe the other script runs in a cron job getting the files [08:41] PCatinean: or there's a script running as your user, and when the other user runs his script it instructs the other to download the file [08:41] EriC^^, that is also a possibility and not a bad one. This is a docker image of debian and I want to set it maybe at entrypoint [08:41] EriC^^, how could I achieve that? [08:41] This is basically just to rsync some files over ssh and I don't want the unprivileged user to have access to ssh keys just do handle this operation [08:42] PCatinean: you could use inotifywait, when it detects a file somewhere, it starts the 'download script' (as your main user) [08:43] hmmm [08:43] and cleans up the file for a new wait [08:43] So it looks for a created file you mean? [08:43] yeah [08:44] and I would have to create a random file in order to trigger this script? [08:44] yeah [08:44] sounds a bit hacky but could work I guess [08:45] yeah, not an IT tech here, so it's a fwiw :D [08:46] but it's a solution indeed, thanks for the suggestion EriC^^ <3 [08:46] the guys in ##Linux might know of a more defacto kind of thing for it, give it a go there as well i'd say [08:46] might be easier and better solution, worth a shot [08:46] no problem :) === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [08:50] brb [08:57]

[17:34] here is the output when I try to install libwine:386 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pqjqhrf23j/ [17:34] sorry, libwine:i368 that is [17:35] anyone know how to get rid of the "low disk space" notification? the examine and ignore buttons are not responding (I'm clicking them, but it's just clicking whatever's behind the notification popup, but the popup is staying on top of everything) [17:35] i'm on 18.04 [17:35] did you run updates properly? sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade # and reboot [17:36] fury: clean your drive so you don't get the notification? [17:36] yes I did as you recommended. reboot is necessary? [17:36] i did :D i have over 100 gigs free now, but it won't go away [17:36] fury: reboot [17:36] oof. in the middle of compiling a 70 gig project, i'll have to wait :D [17:36] was hoping there was a "sudo killall notifications" or something [17:37] thanks! [17:37] fury: you could also just log out and back in [17:37] tomtomblob, apt -s install libasound2:i386 [17:37] tomtomblob, if it contains a kernel, you should, check if "cat /var/run/reboot-required " exist [17:37] oerheks after apt dist-upgrade I get ... 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [17:37] hmm... if i would've thought to put that compile session into a "screen" i could do that now [17:37] oh well [17:43] tomtomblob, try to simulate the installation of libasound2:i386 ; if it works , do the same for libglib2.0-0:i386 and so on [17:45] ok so I keep running into this error See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. [17:45] it cant be securely done and is disabled [17:46] how do I bypass this garbage so I can use my pc properly [17:46] stop blocking my apps please [17:47] any good tutorials/overviews on partitioning during installation? Eg how to setup /home/ so that you don't have to lose it during reinstall, what size should system partition be, what size should swap be, etc [17:48] (and how to pick up existing home/ subdirs after reinstall) [17:49] launch gnome disks [17:49] make your partitions, make sure the boot / volume is ext4 [17:49] add a swap partition about the size of your ram [17:49] make /home btrfs [17:49] apply, close [17:49] then start the installer [17:50] when it goes to the screen where it asks to erase, click "something else" [17:50] is gnome disks part of Ubuntu live USB? [17:50] click the drive you want it installed to, and it will install it [17:50] should be [17:50] I have Gparted now - is it different? [17:51] so if I make new user w/ same name as old user, old home would be picked up automatically? [17:51] ioria https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KM85qqvkzD/ [17:52] ioria im quite new to Ubuntu, not sure what to make out of these messages [17:53] gparted works [17:53] Note, selecting 'libasound2-data' instead of 'libasound2-data:i386' [17:54] i guess Im stuck is so called "wine dependency hell" :-) [17:55] hi all. how to make autojoin to that channel ? i use HexChat. I set "Autojoin" in popup menu, but when i am starting HexChat - i loggin to #ubuntu-unreged [17:56] tomtomblob, i said 'apt -s install libasound2:i386' [17:57] ioria https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Qkj9gM8N6c/ [17:58] tomtomblob, apt-cache policy libasound2-data:i386 [17:58] ioria could you explain a bit to me what is going on? ubuntu has trouble installing i368 packages parallel to 64 bit packages? [17:58] how much space should I put for system partition - eg would 20 GB be enough? (Ubuntu MATE) [17:59] tomtomblob, i think the regular install is broken and (possibly) requires the 'proposed' repo [18:00] ioria https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GfQbpQxB3w/ [18:01] tomtomblob, yes, it asks for libasound2-data:i386 but libasound2-data:i386 does not exists [18:01] so what to do? am I missing a repo? [18:02] if so which one? [18:02] tomtomblob, is that a vm / test machine or your main pc ? [18:02] ioria main pc [18:03] ioria why? [18:03] tomtomblob, if it's a test machine you can try to enable the 'proposed' repository [18:04] tomtomblob, that's why in proposed libasound2-data is > 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 [18:05] hmm... maybe python should define an /usr/bin/python2_or_3 so scripts that do "#!/usr/bin/env python" like poetry, can work on systems that don't have python 2 by default (like new ubuntu versions) ? [18:05] can someone help me mount my ESP with group adm instead of root? man mount says gid= is supported, but it's not in the mount options after the ESP is mounted. http://paste.debian.net/plainh/a3e48d08 [18:05] tomtomblob, but in general, proposed is not recommended [18:06] ioria sorry, Im not a daily ubuntu user, just helping a friend here. what is the "proposed" repository exactly? [18:06] lets' say this : [18:06] !info libasound2-data eoan [18:06] libasound2-data (source: alsa-lib): Configuration files and profiles for ALSA drivers. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1.9-0ubuntu1 (eoan), package size 41 kB, installed size 651 kB [18:06] !info libasound2-data eoan-proposed [18:06] libasound2-data (source: alsa-lib): Configuration files and profiles for ALSA drivers. In component main, is optional. Version 1.1.9-0ubuntu1.2 (eoan-proposed), package size 42 kB, installed size 684 kB [18:08] tomtomblob, you see the version is higher : 1.1.9-0ubuntu1.2 and the apt log says : libasound2:i386 : Depends: libasound2-data:i386 (>= 1.1.9-0ubuntu1) [18:08] Sven_vB, try the numeric gid (4) instead of the group name [18:11] rfm, gid=4 disappeared from the mount options as well, and the owner group is root. [18:14] on another machine where the ESP resides on an embedded memory card, lsb_release -sd [18:14] = "Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS" but the gid=adm does not disappear, it just changes to gid=4: mount | grep esp = "/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /mnt/esp type vfat (rw,noatime,gid=4,fmask=0113,???" [18:15] oh I think the latter runs an hwe kernel. I'll try that. [18:20] ioria, sorry I lost connection to the server. did you have any more ideas how to resolve my issue with installing wine32 on ubuntu 19.10? [18:24] tomtomblob, apt-cache policy wine32 [18:24] man update-initramfs says "-u This mode updates an existing initramfs.", but mine seems to totally ignore the initrds in /boot. I made sure there are none on the ESP, so that can't confuse it either. I can even delete all of them, it will still not generate one for the currently booted kernel. "uname -r && update-initramfs -u¶ 4.4.0-176-lowlatency¶ update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-91-lowlatency" [18:25] ioria https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/JTHZfn6VMm/ [18:26] tomtomblob: use dockers ? [18:28] Sven_vB: "update-initramfs -uvk $(uname -r)" [18:29] TJ-, thanks, it actually guessed my intent anyway, I just don't understand how. :) [18:29] Sven_vB: -u with no -k version will (try to) update the most recent kernel package version installed [18:29] TJ-, as in, I plan to boot the hwe kernel next reboot anyway [18:29] oooh I see [18:30] then "existing" is just a very bad description [18:31] Sven_vB: under "man update-initramfs" "-k" -> "... The default is the latest kernel version." [18:31] Sven_vB: which would be the HWE [18:31] TJ-, yeah I meant the man page description of -u. [18:32] hmmm, looks sane to me: "This mode updates an existing initramfs" [18:32] yeah and instead it generates one for the latest kernel even if no initrd exists prior to the command. [18:33] and if one for an old kernel exists, it doesn't care which version [18:33] misleading because in my case I had exactly one existing initrd, for an old kernel. [18:34] I don't see any misunderstanding. "-u" will update an existing /boot/initrd.img-$VERSION if it exists, else it'll create it. [18:35] "-u" has *nothing* to do with which version it works on, that is for "-k" - and when you *omit* "-k" the LATEST installed kernel package version is targeted [18:38] then it's probably just my language skills. thanks for your opinion! :) [18:42] tomtomblob, apt -s install libasound2:i386 [19:19] where can i get help with ubuntu install problems? [19:22] maybe here ? [19:24] installing 18.04LTS fails with a 'provided target dir /target was not empty' log message. [19:26]
