[04:37] i know there are a lot of errors as i had to make hundreds of changes just to compile the builder code...so now a sign comes up complaining about a system error...how can i just get rid of the sign [04:40] AlligatorJoe: what does the system error say, when you unfold details? ubuntu version? what did you do to your system to get there? [04:42] iotuspychije ok when i first log into ubuntu...it was the ermine version before i had to make about one hundred changes...anyway when i log in it gives a sign that says a system error is detected and wants me to send a report to ubuntu [04:42] AlligatorJoe: you are on 19.10, did system updates and you get a system error now thats it? [04:43] uiryaoatxguhw,,yes it is up to date and autocleaned but the sign comes up and i want to eliminate that nonsense [04:44] AlligatorJoe: open a terminal please, and sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade and pastebin the errors please [04:44] ok..but i have a slow internet connection [04:45] iotuspsychje how can i just get rid of that sign nonsense [04:46] iotuspsychje what does ubuntu check for when initiating the sign [04:48] ok it is going to take several days to do the upgrade...it needs to get 217 megabytes....and i only have 3k bits/second data rate [04:49] AlligatorJoe: ok, see you in few days! [04:49] iok [04:49] ok [05:17] iotuspsychje i calculate it will take about 6 days using 3k bits/second times 60seconds/min times 60 min/hr to get 10 m bits/hr and then divide by 8 to get .7 megabyte per hr times 217 megabytes gets about 160 hours divided by 24 gets about 6 days [05:19] sorry .7 hrs/megabyte [05:21] the plain and simple truth is that china is becoming THE factory of the world...and we are losing our manufacturing jobs here...and another simple truth is that math simply works [05:45] has anybody seen crocodile lily...hall and oates say "she's gone" [05:51] and the chi-lites say "have you seen her" [05:56] and Garth Brooks says since she left he needs "two pina coladas" [05:59] and brooks and dunn say "that is the honky tonk truth" [06:01] and michael mcdonald says "i keep forgetting" [06:02] no one has seen crocodile lily in more than 30 years === SuperL4g is now known as SuperLag [06:26] I'm on eoan/19.10 (kernel 5.3) and it looks like I need to downgrade the iwlwifi driver from linux-firmware to the version from disco/19.04. Is there a painless way to do that? [06:33] fructose. downgrade is out the question it is way behind the times i had to make about 100 changes to upgrade it just so it would compile the builder code [06:34] It's way ahead of the times in that it actually functions. [06:34] just for example you need enchant version 2 code and ubuntu repositories don't even have it to upgrade it [06:35] I don't want to downgrade all of linux-firmware, just that one driver [06:35] well use dkms and just compile a kernel module for yourself [06:36] AlligatorJoe: please dont advice to compile things yourself here [06:36] iotus ok as you wish but there is simply no other way to keep up with the code changes in builder and its derivatives for example [06:37] AlligatorJoe: you are not making in sense like that, please dont do that [06:38] iotus...compiling is what free software is all about.... [06:38] AlligatorJoe: the aim for #ubuntu support is to be helpful to users, not bad advice [06:38] iotus..well dkms usage is good advice not bad advice [06:38] AlligatorJoe: feel free to dicsuss this in #ubuntu-discuss [06:39] iotus ok i will check in there [06:41] lotus|NUC: So what do you recommend, then?

[07:18] viktor of course you can transfer your files from one to the other or reverse. [07:19] just using scp code to file transfer given at least one is running an ssh server...then just estabilsh a route and have fun [07:20] AlligatorJoe: so i should install an ssh server on the computer intended as backup? [07:20] the server will be used by the scp client program to copy whatever files you want from one machine to the other [07:21] so if machine b has the files you want on machine a...just put a ssh server on b and call into it from machine a with the scp program [07:22] this is just a sample of the power of free source code [07:27] AlligatorJoe: ok, i'll try to find some how-to's for that, but now i know what i'm looking for. thank you. [07:28] viktor yes and make sure you set up a route between the two machines based on thier ip numbers [07:28] viktor it is all very easy but takes a little learning [07:28] AlligatorJoe: but their ip numbers aren't static? [07:29] viktor well you will have to delete old routes and add new ones as the ip numbers change...or you can set up routed on both machines with a common routing protocol [07:30] or quagga or whatever routing server you like [07:31] if not the simple routed [07:31] but for two machines it is easiest to just delete an old route and make a new route as the ip numbers change [07:32] AlligatorJoe: but not very automatic [07:32] viktor right there are tradeoffs [07:41] there is always a tradeoff between total control by you versus control by an automated system === EuphOria is now known as OICU812 [07:44] use the route server with a routing protocol like rip or whatever you prefer if you want automation....but for just two machines it only takes a seccond to add a new route and delete an old route [07:44] and you will have complete control of the routes in your own hands [07:47] AlligatorJoe: any reading to recommend for starters? or just google manuals for SSH & routing servers? [07:47] the man pages are excellent references on the 3 components you need to get up and running with the speed of scp file transfers [07:48] viktor..just think of scp as the copy command cp but instead of local copying....you are copying from a remote machine to the other machine [07:53] AlligatorJoe: okay, will try that. thanks again. [07:54] viktor good luck to you....it will work fine but you have to climb a mountain one step at a time [07:54] AlligatorJoe: something to do in the weekend :) [07:57] viktor...my weekend is just going to be tied up trying to transfer data to this machine at just 3kbits/second since i can't afford to much internet service [07:57] too [07:58] viktor...i always tell people don't get a doctor's degree unless you want to starve and be unemployed for 30 years [07:59] AlligatorJoe: hahaha, don't worry, i'm not at risking of getting a phd. i didn't even get my master yet [07:59] viktor well choose your path and your destiny wisely...your fate is entirely in your hands [09:10] Navi the Fairy...did you like the free game Navi [09:10] Navi's Quest on Linux [09:34] hi, will ubuntu 2020.04 support zfs out of the box?

[15:56] sudo apt-get install package.deb should suffice [15:56] instead of dpkg -i package.deb [15:56] I tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Swift_5 but still get the same, no root file system available... === anonimip_ is now known as anonymip === jhutchin1 is now known as jhutchins [16:20] lotuspsychje..ok the upgrade finished and software updater reports that software is up to date..but i still get a message that there is a system error and it wants to send a report to ubuntu whenever i first log in [16:21] I have been using a compose key for years but on this new system (19.04 with leopold FC660C) it's only partially working. Combinations that contain a shift with the second key group aren't combined :( Any ideas what to try or what to look for? [16:21] AlligatorJoe: you can get a better idea of what error your uubntu installation may have encountered by inspecting the contents of /var/crash [16:22] !19.04 | madm1ke [16:22] madm1ke: Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) was the 30th release of Ubuntu, support ended January 2020. see !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2020-January/005263.html [16:22] tomreyn...ok i am just trying to figure out what ubuntu is flagging to create that login message [16:22] tomreyn: sorry, I mean 19.10 :) [16:23] tomreyn these are the crash files but the apps basically work [16:24] _usr_bin_autogen.0.crash [16:24] _usr_bin_autogen.1000.crash [16:24] _usr_bin_kexi-3.1.1000.crash [16:24] _usr_bin_meson.0.crash [16:24] _usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_brisk-menu_brisk-menu.1000.crash [16:24] AlligatorJoe: and i just explained how you can find out. in case it's empty, you can use this script to access a web page listing your systems' past reports: https://termbin.com/0we8 [16:25] AlligatorJoe: note that you were just muted temporarily for pasting to the channel.

[16:30] tomreyn ok i ran the script and the ubuntu error website says no errors have been reported from this machine [16:30] tomreyn but i still get the login message saying there is a system error [16:31] Quick question hopefully someone can help me with: After an update, I cannot log in. No graphical screen, and on tty2, I get a login: prompt, put in my name, it doesn't ask for a password at all, and says login incorrect. Any insights? [16:33] murphnj, what Ubuntu version? [16:33] tomreyn do you know what is triggering ubuntu os to generate the sign [16:33] 20.04 :) (I know I'm asking for it) [16:38] lordcirth_: It is not the only OS on the machine, I have a Fedora install that I run, and I can mount the drives, check logs and change files. Not sure what to do to resolve this though, the no request for password is perplexing. [16:39] murphnj, join #ubuntu+1 [16:43] AlligatorJoe: which sign do you mean? [16:45] AlligatorJoe: if no errors are listed on the errors.ubuntu.com/... website then your system did probably not succeed in reporting them, yet, or you have disabled reporting [16:46] AlligatorJoe: make sure you install any pending updates and reboot [16:46] !uptodate > AlligatorJoe [16:46] AlligatorJoe, please see my private message [16:57] tomreyn well i have a very slow internet connection so the reporting may take quite a while [16:57] i pushed the send report button on the login error sign [16:58] tomreyn i only have about 3k bits per second connection [16:59] AlligatorJoe: 3kbps? that's indeed not usable for anything. [16:59] the "login error sign"? where do you see this? [16:59] tomreyn well when you have to work with the proletariot version of things you don't have the money to afford the nicer things like faster internet access [17:00] which ubuntu release is this? are you able to use the system fine other than the "system error" prompt showing after the graphical login? [17:00] tomreyn...it comes up when i log into the mate desktop system [17:00] so you are using ubuntu mate? which version of it? [17:01] tomreyn yes the system is basically intact....there are a couple of bugs like brisk crashing periodically but mostly it works [17:01] can you actually download and install updates on this connection? [17:01] tomreyn the ermine version but i made about 100 adjustments in order to compile the latest gnome-builder code [17:02] and the gnome-calendar and nautilus [17:02] "eoan ermine" would be 19.10 [17:02] the 3.2 or so versions for the mate desktop system === Katnip is now known as yarddog [17:03] does sudo apt full-upgrade report that you have pending updates? [17:04] tomreyn full-upgrade reports no further upgrades [17:05] tomreyn i am moving the crash files to a different folder to see it that will stop the ubuntu error sign [17:05] but your apt cache may be outdated if sudo apt update never gets to download the info [17:06] another issue: my xorg log reports 'Option "TapButton3" "2"' but I still have to run synclient TapButton3=2 to make it work - what could be a reason for that? [17:06] tomreyn sudo apt update works fine [17:06] AlligatorJoe: at 3 kbps? [17:06] yes [17:06] AlligatorJoe: are you chatting from the same system? [17:06] yes [17:06] no way you are at 3kbps, sir [17:06] AlligatorJoe: then 3 kbps is not the bandwidth you have [17:07] madm1ke yes i am [17:08] the telephone carrier throttles down after you use up your data limit [17:08] you would not be able to run apt update at 3 kbps, nor would you be abkle to respond on IRC at the speed you do. [17:08] even the worst Edge rate is 8,8 [17:09] tomreyn well it is happening as we speak [17:09] which country are you in there? [17:09] tomreyn the us [17:09] they won't throttle to less than 64 kbps, i think [17:10] may 32 [17:10] well i can only go by the reported transfer rates on downloads and 3 k is what is reported [17:11] then the measurement is false - let's just settle with: you are on a limited bandwidth connection [17:11] hovering around 3000 b/s to 6000 b/s [17:12] those will be bytes, not bits [17:12] tomreyn are you sure they are bytes...i thought speeds were reported in bits /sec [17:13] usually it's Bytes/s [17:13] ok well then 8x faster [17:13] but it doesn't really matter, really. What tomreyn wanted to make sure is that your system is really up to date. [17:13] but still very slow === msalvatore_ is now known as msalvatore [17:13] Sorry to disturb -- is the Ubuntu download broken right now? And if so, is there an alternative? [17:14] madm1ke yes it is and far far beyond so i could compile gnome-builder code [17:14] right, i was just wondering whether your system could get updates at all [17:14] tomreyn yes the updates came in fine but very very slow [17:14] drownthewitch: there is not a single "ubuntu download", we'll need some more details [17:15] AlligatorJoe: and you rebooted since? [17:15] tomreyn no not yet let me reboot [17:15] tomreyn: The link https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=18.04.4&architecture=amd64 gives a "404 Not Found" for me right now. [17:15] Which is linked from the Ubuntu homepage for the 18.04 download. [17:16] drownthewitch: hmm interesting, that looks wrong indeed [17:16] drownthewitch: works for me.. [17:16] ... it just worked now. Maybe some issues with one of the servers? [17:16] It definitely gave an nginx 404 error page before... [17:16] drownthewitch: yes, one or more of the servers this forwards to seem to not be hosting this file [17:17] Curious. [17:17] Oh well, problem solved for me for now... [17:21] tomreyn ok tom the error sign did not come up after i moved the crash files to an oldcrash directory [17:22] tomreyn i can post a screenshot of ermine to imgur if you want [17:23] is there a way to encrypt a disk without reinstalling ubuntu? [17:24]
