UserGuyAnybody here have experience setting up serial port terminal access? I can't seem to find a "how to" guide which works with 16.0401:30
subcoolim having stupid issues with boot. Ive used boot-repair and grub customizer - Im having issues with boot locations. I had a multi boot system - but -- i tried to reinstall one of them. - Anyways. I appear to have two grubs.... - Boot repair refuses to work even with using it on a live usb. - When used in advanced. It see''s the boot i've rcently created, but not the one thats preventing me from booting.01:37
rfmUserGuy, can you elaborate on "serial port terminal access"?  Are you trying to log into the Ubuntu system from a terminal plugged into a serial port on the Ubuntu system?01:38
rfmUserGuy, or are you trying to connect out from something running on the Ubuntu system to a device connected to a serial port?01:39
subcoolim curretnly on a live usb..01:39
UserGuyI am trying to log on to a machine running Lubuntu 16.04 using the serial port.01:40
UserGuyI have been successful in using minicom to verify that the hardware is working. I can type into the terminal and see it on minicom. But getting a login access is proving difficult and confusing for me.01:41
rfmUserGuy, probably there is not a getty spawned for the port.  I found something that talks about setting up gettys on systemd...01:42
rfmUserGuy: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html -- scroll past the console stuff to "serial terminals"01:42
rfmUserGuy, note I've never tried this (I don't think I have any systems with serial ports anymore...)01:43
UserGuyrfm, oh yes. lots of info there apparently. thank you.01:45
JoeLlamais it possible to run mIRC in linux using some kind of emulator?01:46
pragmaticenigmaJoeLlama: It is better to use a native application. HexChat is a popular choice01:47
JoeLlamacan I open 50 channels in windows and also be on 7 networks at the same time using hexchat?01:47
pragmaticenigmayes01:48

lordcirth_Yes, much easier than a browser01:48
JoeLlamaeasier than mIRC?01:48
pragmaticenigmaJoeLlama: Bet you could get it setup and running about 3 minutes... a few more to get all the networks configured with your authentication01:48

UserGuyI have returned to say that you people are awesome!05:05
UserGuyI read all the links provided to me about setting up Serial Port login to a Ubuntu machine. I managed to get it working on all 4 serial port terminals.05:07
lotuspsychjeUserGuy: you still remember who helped you?05:12
UserGuyfirst time here so not familiar with any nicks. but it was a very short one. 3 characters i believe. started with r i think.05:13
UserGuyseems rfm is the only one here who meets those criteria right now. looks familiar. probably was.05:16

DelemasWhat is broken with dpkg when it wants to unpack a package over one that isn't installed?05:46
DelemasI had a system run out of space and it got quite unhappy... fsck is clean but it keeps device locking attempting to install linux-headers-4.15.0-91. Antique I know but I need to upgrade through it...05:48
Jordan_UDelemas: Please !pastebin the output of the commands you're running.05:53
DelemasI'm simply trying to do an apt-get install -f. It's going through and attempting to install the kernel set linux-*-4.15.0-91*.05:55
DelemasEvery time it starts unpacking linux-headers-4.15.0-91-generic it devices locks 2% in and never returns.05:56
lotuspsychjeDelemas: use a pastebin of your whole apt output what you are trying, as Jordan_U adviced05:57
DelemasThat's rather challenging in a virtualbox console on another system...05:58
lotuspsychje!info pastebinit | Delemas05:59
ubottuDelemas: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.1-1 (eoan), package size 13 kB, installed size 152 kB05:59
DelemasI cannot install anything on the system...05:59
Bashing-omDelemas: ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ; df -h ' give any hints ?06:00
Delemaslinux-generic-hwe-16.04 was updated which is what is triggering the updated kernels to install.06:01
Delemassec I'll try that...06:01
Bashing-omDelemas: No fix - just info to maybe point to where the root of the issue lies .06:02
DelemasiU linux-headers-4.15.0-91 and iHR linux-headers-4.15.0.91-generic06:03
DelemasCurrently 1 CPU is pegged due to a device locked dpkg trying to install linux-headers-4.15.0-91-generic06:04
Bashing-omDelemas: Gonna have to fix the kernels - then remove old ones, what kerenl is booted presently - as we can not mess with the currently booted kernel. uname -r .06:04
DelemasClearly something is going south during unpackaging. I've got one working kernel left.06:05
DelemasI meant unpacking...06:05
DelemasThe current kernel is 4.15.0-7206:06
Delemasgeneric if it matters.06:06
Bashing-omDelemas: How well can you read command syntax ? As is with no info, I can give you a handy dandy that you must adapt to your install situation.06:10
DelemasSystem managed to fill it's root with old kernels which was impressive...06:10
Jordan_UDelemas: Is it possible that you have a separate /boot/ partition?06:11
DelemasI'm pretty good normally. I haven't seen this failure mode before.06:11
Bashing-omDelemas: Once you have the system stable one can set to "autoremove" that also takes care of old kernels.06:11
DelemasNo 16GB / with minimal install.06:11
DelemasI did manage to autoremove the old kernels without issue. Things went south after removing all the VM snapshots in Virtualbox.06:13
DelemasThere were 6 snapshots going back 2 years...06:14
HiDeHoHi all anyone know if ubuntu studio server is having some issues? its been 2-3hrs and still trying to download.06:17
Jordan_UDelemas: Do you have curl installed?06:17
Bashing-omDelemas: Something like: ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image{,-modules,}-4.15.0-{46,49,52}-generic linux-headers-4.15.0-{46,49,52}{,-generic} '. excude the current kernel! Be aware I have no experience with a VM.06:18
DelemasJordan_U, no. I do have wget though... libcurl3 is there though.06:18
DelemasBashing-om, that's what I did to uninstall all the old kernels but the current one.06:19
Jordan_UDelemas: Can you ssh into the guest from the host, so that you can more easily use pastebin?06:24
Bashing-omDelemas: The install status iu == installed but only Unpacked ; iHR == installed Half installed Reinstall required .06:24
DelemasBashing-om, I know... I can clean them up with a dpkg --purge --force-all and those two packages but even when I totally clear the apt cache the same problem happens again.06:26
DelemasThe drive the VM is using for storage is otherwise good. Smart health check is ok.06:29
Bashing-omDelemas: Jordan_U has the fresher mind - as he is willing, might be best to follow his lead. in the end we want that all files in /usr/src/, /lib/modules/, and /boot to match.06:29
DelemasIt's 2:30am and tomorrow is a work day. I'm going to have to give up for tonight... Thanks for trying guys. I'll see if I can sort out something paste bin compatible tomorrow.06:30
Bashing-omDelemas: Good deal - we be here in the event there is still an issue :D06:31

DrecondiusIs it possible to remove ownership from a folder and all of it's sub folders so anyone can read/write them?07:29
MalsasaDrecondius, hello, I think it is possible though changing the permission instead of ownership.07:31
Drecondiusi know chown -R but i don't want any owners so it can be freely written from multiple sources07:31
MalsasaDrecondius, speaking honestly, doing chmod -R 777 to a folder will make it freely writable from multiple sources.07:34
MalsasaDrecondius, however, in server, that practice is bad for security as far as I know.07:34
Drecondiusit's only going to be done on an external hdd, which, shouldn't have any permissions defined as it's ntfs07:35

Mrhubrisso, this is probably a rather stupid question but it didn't catch my eye before. How come apt isn't showing everything that is upgradable anymore? I mean, Software updates says there's an update for ubuntu base but apt update says everything is up to date ..07:57

Mrhubrisit's not a big problem but it was just weird. I'll keep an eye out for this in the future08:05

beizlotuspsychje, sound works fine in zorin and arch. so it is likely the kernel bug.10:24
beizlotuspsychje, oh, okay. i will disable secure boot.10:25
lotuspsychjebeiz: it is known yeah, bug #186780310:25
ubottubug 1867803 in linux (Ubuntu) "ALSA: No soundcards found after updating kernel to 5.3.0.42.36" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/186780310:25
beizwhy hasn't there been a fix to the kernel bug? :/10:25
lotuspsychjebeiz: work in progress, -proposed kernel has the fix10:26
lotuspsychjebeiz: so a bit more waiting10:26
beizit will be available in 20.04 i presume?10:27
lotuspsychjebeiz: 20.04 should not suffer this bug, another kernel version10:27
beizgreat10:27
beizso the only real issue then is suspend i guess :)10:27
beizyou think updating bios would help?10:27
beizwhen i was googling i found like 30 different answers, tried a few but none worked.10:28
lotuspsychjebeiz: doublecheck lenovo's site for that bios, think you are pretty up to date10:28
lotuspsychjehey MonkeyDust ; )10:28

ses1984i'm trying to use nvidia x server settings to configure x server display, and even though i "save to x configuration file" the settings dont seem to stick, i dont see any errors in xorg log, i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong12:44
CrazySampragmaticenigma: it's not installed on Ubuntu by default?12:45
CrazySam"rsh" appears to be an alias for "ssh" on Ubuntu?12:45
pragmaticenigmaCrazySam: Being that it is in universe, no it is not installed by default12:46
pragmaticenigmaCrazySam: rsh was superseeded by ssh12:47
pragmaticenigmahttps://www.ssh.com/ssh/rsh12:47
pragmaticenigmases1984: You have to save the file to your local user directory, and then use sudo to copy it to the /etc/X11 folder12:48
ses1984pragmaticenigma: pretty sure that's not the case, it asks for sudo when copying to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and i also did copy to my desktop and diff the files they are the same12:51
pragmaticenigmases1984: Then it is a problem with the nvidia application, which means you will need to contact nvidia through their support channels for assistance12:52
Bromiteguys what's the best way of deploying a react app to ubuntu?12:55
ses1984pragmaticenigma: if i generated the xorg conf it would be a problem with me, not the nvidia app. nvidia app was just a tool to generate the conf. interpreting xorg logs to find whats wrong has nothing to do with nvidia app12:59
ioriases1984, are the changes actually written to xorg.conf ?13:00
pragmaticenigmaBromite: For recommendations, polls, and opinions, please use the #ubuntu-offtopic channel. Your question is not a support related13:00
ses1984ioria: looks like they are, when i write to a new file location and inspect the file it looks like it is what i want, and when i diff that against /etc/X11/xorg.conf they're the same13:01
pragmaticenigmases1984: What exactly are you setting through the nvidia gui that isn't possible with the Display settings in Ubuntu's settings area?13:01
ses1984just checked ubuntu display settings and i guess nothing. i'll try to use it and see how it works13:03
ioriases1984, if it fails,  i 'd suggest to backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and edit it directly (or overwite with the  nvidia-settings previw output)13:04
ses1984for some reason i thought i couldn't adjust refresh rate in the ubuntu display settings. the option shows up for one monitor, not the other, which is fine with me i only want a non-default refresh rate on one monitor13:05
ses1984it's working great, thanks13:05

benfrancisHow come there are both armhf and arm64 builds of Ubuntu Core for the Raspberry Pi, and how should I choose which one to use? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/18/stable/current/14:02
pragmaticenigmabenfrancis: I think the armhf is for the 32bit ARM processors14:03
pragmaticenigmanope... looks like that isn't correct14:04
pragmaticenigmabenfrancis: armhf stands for "arm hard float", and is the name given to a debian port for arm processors (armv7+) that have hardware floating point support.14:04
benfrancispragmaticenigma: Thank you but I already know that, unfortunately it doesn't answer my question14:05
waveformbenfrancis, armhf is a 32-bit variant, arm64 is a 64-bit variant - both run on all the pis we support which is the pi2, 3, 3+, and 4, but there's one exception the pi2 doesn't support arm64 (currently)14:05
benfranciswaveform: Thank you :) Are there any downsides to choosing 64 bit?14:05
waveformwhich one you pick is largely up to what you intend to do with it - there's some minimal performance advantage to arm64, but armhf (currently) has better hardware support - there are some things on arm64 which are problematic (but which are being worked on either upstream or here)14:06
waveforme.g. last I checked the pigpiod daemon doesn't work on arm64, and there were issues with the camera firmware on arm64 - I know the latter has been worked on (might be complete now - haven't had the time to look into it)14:07

zetherooconnected via Ethernet to the router I get about 250mbps down, whereas on WiFi (less than a meter from the router) I get about 95mbps down max14:17
zetheroothis happens on both Ubuntu 18.04 laptops I have14:17
zetheroothing is that the WiFi devices are all rated as being able to do a lot more than ~95mbps14:18
oerheksdepends what type of wireless..14:18
oerheksif you test from laptop wireless to laptop wireless, both have to use the same bandwidth, right?14:19
zetheroowell the router is a fritzbox 3490 and I am connected via the 2.4ghz network14:19
oerheksso, together 190 mbs.. pretty good14:20

zetheroooerheks: you mean via the router or directly?14:23
jeremy31zetheroo: have you looked at iwconfig results to see if power management is on?14:23
Pettiszetheroo, maybe try speedtest.net on your smartphone or something?14:23
pragmaticenigmazetheroo: Wifi is affected by hundreds of factors. Your own presence in the room will have an effect, the wireless plane emitted by the router and the laptop, other wireless devices in the area, other wireless devices also communicating with the AP. You will almost never see the max throughput of your wifi device... if you look, you will always see that the rating was done in a laboratory setting under optimal conditions14:24
Pettis+1 for power management, a lot of reports of problems with Ubuntu and WiFi power mgmt on the internet14:24
zetheroojeremy31: seems it is Power Management:on14:24

pragmaticenigmaXtrem_troll: All new computers are implemented with UEFI, there might be a few that don't, but that is the direction of the overall industry. As for which is better, that depends on your use case. UEFI adds protections for preventing malicious programs or attackers from modifying boot records. Most system allow you to disable the UEFI but you will need to consult the documenation for the motherboard or computer manufacturer14:45

zetheroo1ok, so switching off the power management on the WiFi device didn't make any difference. I also tested in Windows 10 and the speed was no different. So I guess it's not the OS and not the WiFi adapter.... must be the router!?14:48

zetheroo1 pragmaticenigma: sorry, might not have ... was disconnected for a while14:49
pragmaticenigmazetheroo: Wifi is affected by many different factors. Your own presence in the room will have an effect, the wireless plane emitted by the router and the laptop, other wireless devices in the area, other wireless devices also communicating with the AP. You will almost never see the max throughput of your wifi device... if you look, you will always see that the rating was done in a laboratory setting under optimal conditions14:49

pragmaticenigmazetheroo: something else to check.. use a tool like wifi analyzer to see if your router is on a congested channel. Also, check your router settings, if it offers the ability to lower the signal strength, try lowering it if it is set to max14:58
EriC^^subcool: ok, type "exit" then try rebooting using uefi14:58

TomyWorki have a problem of my own, btw: "{systemd-resolve,nslookup,ping,host} internally-resolvable-name.mycompany.de" can't resolve that name, but "nslookup internally-resolvable-name.mycompany.de <company dns>" can. <company dns> is set as the primary dns17:40
lordcirth_TomyWork, systemd-resolve --status ?17:41
TomyWorki can even verify that systemd-resolved knows about <company dns> using, "systemd-resolve --status" and by sending sigusr1 to the daemon and looking at the journal17:41
TomyWorklordcirth_, https://gist.github.com/TomyLobo/8ba028f3f56b90a3ce1dc1b88a299dc017:42
TomyWork<correct primary dns> is <company dns>17:42
TomyWork<correct secondary dns> is the other company dns :)17:42
lordcirth_TomyWork, and is your IP on enx34298f961107 ?17:43
TomyWorkaccording to wireshark, when doing a --flush-caches and resolving something, only <my home router's DNS forwarder's IP> is queried17:43
TomyWorklordcirth_, same as my router's IP except for the last octet17:43
TomyWorkoh "is your IP on", not "what is your IP on"... uh what do you mean by that? what IP should be on there?17:44
TomyWorkoh i forgot to mention this is a VPN type situation17:45
TomyWorkthe company DNS is behind VPN and the VPN connection is established17:45
TomyWorkoddly enough, i can't find any tun devices, but that might be normal17:45
lordcirth_TomyWork, The DNS settings are on enx34298f961107. If that's not where the IP you are using is, it might not work properly.17:45
lordcirth_Any errors in "journalctl --unit systemd-resolved -S today"?17:45
TomyWorklordcirth_, but i'm querying a name... how do i use an IP while querying a name?17:46
TomyWorki know that systemd-resolved does interface-specific dns configuration, but not how17:46
lordcirth_TomyWork, IIRC, the DNS settings are set depending on which interface is currently your default one.17:46
TomyWorkhow do i tell which one is the default?17:47
TomyWorknmcli says "        ip4 default, ip6 default" under that interface, is it that?17:47
lordcirth_Which one is used to reach the default gateway, I think.17:47
TomyWorkisn't the default gateway a per-interface setting?17:48
TomyWorkdefault         fritz.box       0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 enx34298f96110717:48
TomyWorkthat'S from "route"17:48
TomyWorkapparently it's not a per-interface setting :)17:48
PettisI think I just accidentally my whole packages.  I did `sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386` and then `sudo apt-get install`ed some i386 libs but didn't notice the `518 to remove` and dpkg started nuking my system.  Shall I just reinstall all uninstalled and hope for the best or try to remove the i386 architecture first?17:48
TomyWorkPettis, is a complete reinstall of the system an option?17:49
TomyWorkcause that would be the easiest :)17:49
TomyWorkotherwise, there's some log file with packages installed17:50
PettisTomyWork, haha, well, it's always an option but less than ideal17:50
lordcirth_TomyWork, each interface can have routes that are set up when the interface is turned on, but which default route is actually in place matters17:50
TomyWorkit's at /var/log/apt/history.log17:50
PettisI still have the output so was thinking I could just copy and paste all those removed into a new install command? :/17:51
TomyWorklordcirth_, that seems to be the enx interface17:51
TomyWorkPettis, might work. after all, dpkg/apt doesn't remove your config files unless you actually purge17:51
PettisTomyWork, thanks... that's what I was thinking.  I am just wondering if there is any risk it's going to try to install :i386 versions... or does it only do that if the package names are explicitly suffixed?17:53
TomyWorkthe later17:53
Pettisgreat, thanks.  Will give it a crack17:54

nshireand when booting into recoery it just stick on "loading initial ramdisk"18:00
TomyWorklordcirth_, so the default route goes to the interface that the company DNS is configure for. any idea why systemd-resolved might not be using that DNS server?18:00

stevelandayEriC^^, Good day!  when you have a moment for me, wanted you to know that I believe I was sucessfull at backing up my APPLE drive.18:16
wingedrhinoHi! Is there an opensource tool to create and manage private apt repositories? Specifically, I want the ability to restrict access to these repositories, which seems to be supported by apt https://web.archive.org/web/20190722115404/https://debian-administration.org/article/513/Restrict_Access_To_Your_Private_Debian_Repository18:18
sarnoldwingedrhino: you can build an apt repo using apt-ftparchive (don't let the name scare you off, works fine via eg nginx or apache) or a more specialized tool like aptly18:19
jlnalotuspsychje, thank you, I'll check that bug.18:19
sarnoldwingedrhino: at least nginx and apache have incredibly detailed access controls if you want; I don't know much about aptly, but it's go SO MANY FEATURES that I have to imagine access control is one of them18:19
lotuspsychjejlna: normally -40 or -43 would fix this18:19
EriC^^stevelanday: great!18:24
EriC^^stevelanday: you could try using testdisk to recover the files or partition, sudo apt-get install testdisk18:24
wingedrhinosarnold, Aptly looks interesting! I forgot to mention, I also need some form of high availability. The idea is to create a private apt repo for Ubuntu/debian instances managed by a company and prevent unauthorized users from accessing it18:26
pragmaticenigmawingedrhino: The tools mentioned manage the packages, the access is controlled by the service provider you choose (Apache, Nginx, etc)18:29
wingedrhinoif I understand it correctly, an apt repository is just a set of files under a root folder, right? And access management should happen via the mechanism used to access these files, like SSH, FTP, HTTP w/ BasicAuth, etc?18:31
InteloI have fresh ubuntu 19 now. How to make sure I use the latest ruby and not the one that "is going to be" installed with passanger18:36
pragmaticenigmawingedrhino: yes18:37
stevelandayEriC^^, working on that, install of testdisk appears complete, however im not seeing it anywhere yet. hmmm...looking18:42
sarnoldwingedrhino: HA is *easy*, it's just http. run as many servers as you need.18:44
EriC^^stevelanday: can you screenshot what you see?18:47
EriC^^stevelanday: you want to do sudo testdisk > then choose your disk18:47
EriC^^keep the partition type as it is by default, then go to analyze quick search18:47
jlnalotuspsychje, thank you, my speaker sound has been restored. My microphone still does not work however. I use an external headset that connects straight to the audio jack, so no USB issues.18:48

lotuspsychjejlna: try 5.3 -40 maybe as a test, if you still have that version?18:52
jlnalotuspsychje, I'm afraid not. In trying to troubleshoot I issued an apt autoremove18:53
lotuspsychjejlna: ah ok, and i would not really reccomend the fixxed 43 from proposed, as you could also get in trouble18:54
gbear14275When apt is looking for a Y/n answer... does it just check if the first letter is y or something else?18:54

jlnalotuspsychje, I would have chosen a stable Ubuntu 18.04, but my laptop was too new for that O_o18:55
fraktorI just installed Ubuntu, but I'm using a fairly minimal desktop environment with i3, compton, and polybar.  I'm using nm-applet for network management, but it's saying that my ethernet device is not managed.  I've gone through several advised steps to add it to network manager, but nmcli reports that it is still unmanaged.18:55
lotuspsychjejlna: ah, you could fix that with choosing an LTS with the HWE kernel also in the future18:56
jlnalotuspsychje, I'll fire up aptitude or synaptic to see if I can still revert to the old kernel.18:56
EriC^^stevelanday: those are the current partitions in the table, try typing "sudo testdisk" then choose sda, then efi gpt, then analyze then quick search18:56
jlnalotuspsychje, Yes, looking forward to Focal18:56
stevelandayEriC^^, standby18:57
lotuspsychjejlna: no i meant like 18.04 with HWE kernel support, probably fixxing the issues on your newer hardware18:57

stevelandayEriC^^, results from entering sudo testdisk were 3 choices: Create, Append, No Log  (i'm gonna guess I'm creating a new log file?)18:59
wingedrhinosarnold, thanks! guess I'll finish reading up on aptly first, set things up without auth and then figure out access control.18:59
akemfraktor, It should be added automaticly AFAIK, do you see your ethernet card with ifconfig?18:59
sarnoldwingedrhino: cool! I always kinda wanted to use aptly, it's so well documented/promoted, hehe, but I just don't need its features19:00
fraktorakem: ifconfig is not installed on my machine, but ip link shows it.19:00
wingedrhinoBTW are there any tools to automate distro version upgrades across multiple machines? Reckon I could use aptly itself to switch sources from old mirrors (eg: 18.04) to new ones (eg: 20:04) ?19:01
wingedrhinoI assume that would be a VERY BAD IDEA if I wasn't doing adjacent version upgrades....19:02
fraktorI should mention that I switched from debian unstable to ubuntu, and I kept my home directory and configuration files.  So it's possible it's a problem with that.19:02
wingedrhinoI forgot to mention, this would be for unattended IoT devices19:03
akemfraktor, I see...Well maybe try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager ?19:03
wingedrhinoAlso maybe desktops. But the primary use-case is to upgrade some Raspberry Pis running custom software.19:03
EriC^^stevelanday: yeah, create log19:04
akemfraktor, It shouldn't affect the ethernet and the Network-manager, since it's at the system level.19:04

sarnoldwingedrhino: I think you've just got to run do-release-upgrade on each system. this might be something landscape can automate, but it's occasionally an interactive process, "how do you want to handle these changes?" kind of thing. probably best to drive them manually.19:08

yatesdudes?19:24
EriC^^stevelanday: i see, i think it might not be able to find the old macos partition in case the swap overwrote its stuff, but testdisk has another program called photorec, you can choose which types of files to get, or all, and it will go over the hdd or partition and get them, but you won't have the file structure, directory or filenames etc, but the data will be there19:24

ubottuyates: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or https://ubuntuforums.org or https://askubuntu.com/19:24
EriC^^stevelanday: anyways let deepsearch run, if it shows any promising partitions that'd be nice, also if you have an old paste or text of your old partition table that woul be helpful to try to manually mount it using its sector location19:25
stevelandayEriC^^, gotcha  its already found another one, "Unkown 116983208" so yea, i'll let this run19:26

akemshinobi_, Samba also works for Linux.20:24
lordcirth_Yeah, but it's annoying if you want to do anything with permissions or users20:24
akemYes.20:25
akemBut i don't know how NFS compares to Samba. I know streaming and sharing works fine with Samba and cooperates well between Windows/Linux/Android...so i kept using it.20:26
lordcirth_Samba should work fine for basic stuff, if you already have it setup20:27
nshiremy 18.04 lts install keeps getting stuck on "loading initial ramdisk" right after grub and then it freezes. it happens on all the boot options.20:28
nshireany advice?20:28
shinobi_akem: How does linux share files if there were no windows users?20:29
lordcirth_shinobi_, usually people use NFS.20:29
akemshinobi_, You just add new users with a command.20:30
iorianshire, Recovery20:30
nshireioria, recovery options also get stuck at loading ramdisk20:30
ioriashinobi_,  then use livecd20:30
nshirewas that meant for me20:31
iorianshire, yes, sy20:31
nshirewould I just do a reinstall after copying out my /home folder or is there a better way?20:31
akemshinobi_, Yeah try NFS, and if it doesn't satisfy you then you can still go the Samba way.20:31
iorianshire, what ?20:32
nshireis there an actual recovery option on the liveusb or does it just blidnly reinstall everything20:32
iorianshire, boot the livecd, mount the partition, chroot and inspect the problem20:33
akemThere is a boot recovery tool, but i'm not sure it would help in your case.20:34
akemhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair20:35
tomreynnshire: what's the hardware, did this system boot fine with the same major.minor kernel version previously?20:36
nshire2016 XPS 13 9350, last on kernel 4.18 I believe. and yeah everything was running fine20:37
tomreynnshire: and if it worked fine before, then what may have changed between when it did and now? did you also try booting into an older kernel version?20:37
ioria4.1820:37
nshirelast thing I did was a gnome reset and package upgrade20:38
tomreynthere's no supported kernel 4.18 on ubuntu 18.04 LTS20:39
ioriait's cosmic, hwe 18.04.220:39
nshirewhat it actually was20:39
nshiresorry 4.1520:40
ioriafeb 201920:40
nshirecurrent options are 4.15.0-91-generic and 4.15.0-88-generic20:41
tomreynand neither of them boots past "loading initial ram disk" now?20:41
nshirecorrect20:42
nshire(thats only displayed when I take "quiet" out of the boot options. otherwise its just a blank purple screen)20:43
tomreynyou probably need to use mitigations=no then as a temporary workaround, and upgrade you bios20:43
nshirejust did a bios upgrade 4 hours ago while trying to toubleshoot20:43
nshiredid that through windows and it worked fine20:44
iorianshire, if you can't access your system with another kernel or recovery, you can only boot the livecd20:44
nshireI do have a windows partition thats working fine but thats probably not helpful20:44
nshireyah I put my liveusb in, not sure what to do with it exactly20:45
iorianshire,i told your (if you read it) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery20:45
tomreynactually it's mitigations=off20:45
=== nt0__ is now known as nt0
ash_guestmy usb drive won't show up anymore20:47
ash_guestThat's really upsetting20:47
nshireso that boot-repair tool: I need to burn that separately from a normal liveusb installer?20:47
ash_guestI tried it on another laptop running the same OS too20:48
oerheksash_guest,  usb devices die over time, does it show up in lsusb?20:48
ash_guestoerheks I don't think so. Not all the line items are very specific20:49
ash_guestfor example: Realtek Semiconductor Corp20:49
akem_nshire, No you can start it from the live CD, or you may need to apt install it directly from the live CD, but i doubt it would help, it's for fixing grub usually, and you are past this point.20:49
oerheksone could try a fsck .. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting20:49
ash_guestbut the output doesn't change if I unplug it, so my guess is "no"20:49
ash_guestoerheks how long do they normally last20:50
ash_guest?20:50
tomreyni am convinced the only problem nshire is dealing with is an intel microcode update, making both installed kernel images (of which certainly one must have booted fine previously) stop working during the "loading initial ramdisk" phase now20:51
ash_guestI really hope it's not completely dead20:51
oerheksi have one 2gb, now useless for the larger isos, it works since 2009 ..20:51
oerheksothers died in 3 years20:51
ash_guestthis is a sandisc; fairly new afair; usb 3.020:52
ash_guestin any event; is there a way to recover data from it?20:52
ash_guestor at least validate that it is in fact dead20:52
ash_guestdespite the descrete notion that it is given it was working like 2 days ago20:53
* ash_guest crosses fingers20:54
oerhekssee the wiki ?20:55
EriC^^ash_guest: what did the smart test give20:55
ash_guestoerheks @me? what wiki?20:55
ash_guestEriC^^ smart test?20:55
nshiretomreyn, I did notice that the apt update last night mentioned something about downloading new firmware20:55
EriC^^ash_guest: yeah, the smart test is a test to see if an hdd is dead due to bad sectors etc20:56
ash_guestis that a out of the box utility for ubuntu?20:56
EriC^^sudo apt-get install smartmontools, then sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX   <-replace your hdd instead of sdX20:57
ash_guestan*'20:57
EriC^^it's in the universe repo20:57
ash_guestI see20:57
tomreynnshire: well did you try mitigations=off, yet?20:58
nshireyeah that left me with a purle screen and no text output at all20:58
ash_guestwants me to configure mail services. I guess it monitors email as well?20:58
ash_guestHow should I know what sd* is associated with the USB drive?20:59
ash_guestEriC^^ ^20:59
tomreynnshire: and if you combine it with removing "quiet" and "splash"?20:59
nshireI only removed quiet... ill do both now21:00
EriC^^ash_guest: try 'sudo parted -ls' it should show the drives and name /dev/sdX21:00
tomreynnshire: does it get past "loading initial ramdisk" then? if not, then it's actually more likely that you broke your initrds somehow.21:00
tomreyn!bootlog | nshire21:01
ubottunshire: To get a more verbose log of the boot process, remove "quiet" and "splash" from the kernel boot parameters and add "debug systemd.log_level=info". For info on editing kernel boot parameters, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters21:01
EriC^^ash_guest: yeah i think it also installs a daemon and whatnot21:01
tomreynnshire: what ubottu just told you only applies after the initrd (initial ramdisk) loaded, though21:01
nshireill add that debug line before I try21:02
nshireshould "debug systemd.log_level=info" be on the linux line or its own line?21:02
tomreynon the "linux" line21:02
InteloWhat seem to be wrong here? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/QbHnKnX2fv/21:03
ash_guestEriC^^ there are 2 basic, 1 EFI, 1 Windows and 1 blank partition21:03
ash_guestthe blank one is ext421:03
nshiretomreyn, yeah stuck on loading initial ramdisk still21:04
ash_guesta flag on one of the basics says msftdata; so I guess that's part of the windows dual boot21:04
ash_guestthe flags on the other basic are hidden,drag21:04
ash_guestdiag*21:04
EriC^^ash_guest: how many hdds do you have?21:05
EriC^^you just need the disk name not the partitions21:05
ash_guestthe listings do not change when I remove the USB flash drive21:06
tomreynnshire: you need to boot off a different but compatible system (such as a live/installer usb), run fsck and smartctl -x against everything and chroot into the installed system and have it rebuild the initrd21:06
EriC^^ash_guest: hmm, try typing "dmesg -w" in a terminal, and plug in the usb21:06
ash_guestum... 1 hybrid drive iirc21:06
ash_guestwait, type that first, or after plugging in?21:06
EriC^^ash_guest: it's a usb in question or usb hdd?21:07
EriC^^ash_guest: first21:07
ash_guestEriC^^ my _guess_ is that my very import backup usb flash drive is dead21:07
ash_guestwhich is what I am attempting to discover21:07
EriC^^i see21:07
ash_guestand further discover is any data on it is recoverable21:08
ash_guestas far as dmesg -w21:08
EriC^^try a different port21:08
ash_guestbefore plugging in, I already get several messages that say "usb 2-1: device not accepting address [n], error -71"21:09
ash_guestdo you still want me to try plugging it into the same port or a different port with dmesg?21:09
jeremy31ash_guest: have many USB devices plugged in?21:10
ash_guestEriC^^ too late; i tried the same port21:10
EriC^^ash_guest: i mean, it's worth a try i guess21:10
ash_guestlooks like dmesg shows it detecting it21:11
EriC^^yeah21:11
ash_guestlast message was: [747649.426596] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA21:11
EriC^^nice, so it's sdb21:11
EriC^^ok, great21:11
ash_guestalso, it was hot when I pulled it out last before any dmesg operation21:11
EriC^^type "sudo parted /dev/sdb print"21:11
ash_guesteventually I'm getting those -71 messages again21:11
ash_guest^C'ed: trying your command21:11
ash_guestcould not stat21:12
ash_guestafter the cache: disabled message:21:13
ash_guest[747685.583572] usb 2-1: Disable of device-initiated U1 failed.21:13
ash_guestthen U2, then: [747696.080537] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for setup device command21:13
ash_guestI guess I'll remove it again21:13
ash_guestthe tip is hot21:14
ash_guestfinal dmesg output after plugging in and waiting was: [747707.009637] usb usb2-port1: unable to enumerate USB device21:14

marcodiegothe screen of my laptop flickers. Mostly some time after boot. Looks like backlight suddenly turns off and on quickly for seconds21:16

marcodiegoseems to stop if activity is low21:16
ash_guestEriC^^ yes21:16
ash_guest"Device not responding to setup address." is a common message in dmesg21:17

stevelandayEriC^^, also this is the top of the list: https://imgur.com/PhJzW2321:17
EriC^^stevelanday: aha21:18
stevelandayEriC^^, I'll wait until you see my second photo before pasting...21:18
EriC^^saw it21:18
stevelandayEriC^^, ok here goes, standby21:18
EriC^^there's basically 2 partitions, one mac hfs one, but the size in sectors isnt that large21:19
EriC^^the first one seems promising though, big size21:19
stevelandayEriC^^, to confirm, i'm to paste and enter this: sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print'21:20
EriC^^stevelanday: yeah, or run 'sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print | nc termbin.com 9999' itll upload it for you and give a link back21:21
stevelandayEriC^^, since i'm still in that testdisk app in terminal, should i open a new terminal and enter it there?21:22
EriC^^stevelanday: yeah sounds good21:23
stevelandayEriC^^, https://termbin.com/tgpa21:23
ash_guestEriC^^ so, what do you think; is the drive itself damaged?21:24
EriC^^ash_guest: it seems so, i'm not entirely sure though, i'd try on another pc if you havent who knows21:25
marcodiegothe screen of my laptop flickers. Mostly some time after boot. Looks like backlight suddenly turns off and on quickly for seconds. How can I disable the OS messing with the screen light and leave it always on?21:25

stevelandayEriC^^, ok21:27
EriC^^stevelanday: first install hfsutils to read the mac fs, sudo apt-get install hfsutils21:29
stevelandayEriC^^, oh NO!  I selected the first MAC HFS and hit enter, which didnt really show anything useful, QUIT was the only option, so I selected that and i'm not back at the ANALYSE ADVANCED, GEOMETRY, etc dialog21:29
stevelandayNOW not NOT21:29
EriC^^stevelanday: no worries, we have the sectors in the screenshots + the logs i beleive21:30
stevelandayEriC^^, finished the sudo apt-get install hfsutils21:30
EriC^^*believe21:30
EriC^^ok cool21:31
stevelandayEriC^^, currently at a prompt21:31
stevelandayEriC^^, not the root prompt though21:31
EriC^^stevelanday: let's try the big one first, sudo mount -o offset=$((842272064 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt21:31
stevelandayEriC^^, response was: steve@steve-Macmini:~$ sudo mount -o offset=$((842272064 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt21:32
stevelandaymount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop13, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.21:32
EriC^^stevelanday: ok trying the next one, sudo mount -o offset=$((842418272 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt21:33
stevelandayEriC^^, similar response21:33
EriC^^ok how about sudo mount -o offset=$((947213536 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt21:34
stevelandayEriC^^, FYI those were both LOOP 13, in case thats important.21:34
EriC^^nope not really21:34
EriC^^any luck?21:35
stevelandayEriC^^, same response21:35
stevelandayEriC^^, I see, we are sending the same question to each of the results, shall i keep going21:36
EriC^^stevelanday: yeah, it's very much trial and error at this point21:41
EriC^^did you try the last one?21:41
EriC^^sector 947...21:42
EriC^^stevelanday: try sudo mount -t hfsplus -o offset=$((842272064 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt21:42

longstrideHey guys, looking for some insight.  I have a few games I play in Ubuntu and the experience is flawless in 18.04.  I play Minecraft with BSL shaders, and Factorio through Steam.  In 20.04 I have some issues, basically some minor screen tearing and the camera pan in Minecraft just isn't as buttery smooth as in 18.04.21:53
longstrideNow is this something that just goes away once 20.04 is officially released?  If it works in an older version, it should technically work in the newer version as well, right?21:55
EriC^^longstride: the guys in #ubuntu+1 might know more fwiw21:55
longstrideEriC^^, thanks, I wasn't quite sure where I should post this.  Just wanted some opinions.  I'll post there as well21:56

stevelandayEriC^^, So, what if I said that I'm mostly interestted in recovering the MAC OSX files, and that I dont NEED to have regain the boot ability22:48
EriC^^stevelanday: we'd use photorec eventually22:50
EriC^^maybe try a few more sectors just incase we get lucky22:50
EriC^^stevelanday: wb, ok try 'sudo mount -t hfsplus -o offset=$((352866411 * 512)) /dev/sda /mnt'22:51

stevelandayEriC^^, response: mount: /mnt: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop13, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.22:53
EriC^^ok one last try before using photorec, type 'sudo testdisk' same as before22:54
stevelandayEriC^^, yep, choices are CREATE, APPEND, NO LOG22:55
EriC^^same thing, analyze -> quick search press enter to skip it, then enter again to get the deep search, then let it just run for about 20secs til it shows the mac hfs ones etc, it should just take amin or so22:55
EriC^^stevelanday: nolog22:55
EriC^^then press enter to let it finish the deep search, then you should end up with something like this you had earlier https://imgur.com/TWyG9i422:55

glestradehi all, I’m trying to work with some old source code that has some very specific requirements23:04
glestradeas such, I need to load an old version of the kernel on ubuntu 14.04 LTS23:05
glestradebut GRUB doesn’t come up at all23:05
glestradeyes I held shift, disabled timeout (or whatever that advice was that I saw)23:05
glestradeI’ll find the link23:05
EriC^^stevelanday: ok, then go to analyze23:06
pavlosglestrade: change GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden to GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu in /etc/default/grub, then sudo update-grub, then reboot23:08
stevelandayEriC^^, I think I got lost. Sorry. Right not its doing a /dev/sda - 500gb cylinder scan, so far its found three results, MS data, Linux Swap, and Linux swap. and is still scanning23:08
glestradepavlos: I’ll try that. This was the link btw23:09
glestradehttps://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version23:09
glestradeI have this chat open on my Macbook. So I’ll be able to keep you appraised of what’s going on as the linux box reboots, etc23:10
EriC^^stevelanday: did you click on quick search23:10
stevelandayEriC^^, urghhhhhh, sorry, i dont remember.  maybe i selected analyise or ???  can we start over23:11
stevelandayEriC^^, STOP is currently my only other option23:12
EriC^^stevelanday: no worries, press enter it should stop what its doing23:12
EriC^^see if it says deep search at the bottom23:12
stevelandayEriC^^, here is where I am at after selecting STOP:  https://imgur.com/tU9zsSj23:13
glestradepavlos: err my grub doesn’t have GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE23:14
EriC^^stevelanday: ok press enter23:17
oerheksin 14.04, grub was at v2.02, incompatible?23:17
stevelandayEriC^^, https://imgur.com/fdoFZzC23:19
oerheksglestrade, if you want to test 14.04 kernels, put it in a VM/KVM23:19
EriC^^stevelanday: also enter23:20
EriC^^it shoudl say quick search, do it, then press enter to stop the quick search, then enter , you should see deep search23:20
stevelandayEriC^^, https://imgur.com/rTrKExh23:21
EriC^^something isnt right, try pressing q til you reach the analyze menu stevelanday23:22
stevelandayEriC^^, i'm there23:22
glestradeoerheks: the broader context is that the particular software I’m working with probably doesn’t work when you run it on any kind of VM23:23
glestradeit needs a special wifi card, special driver software for that card, etc23:23
mfoolbhello.. could anyone point me to where I can check lasted updates applied on ubuntu 18.04 box?23:23
glestradedirect access to that interface, not virtualized23:24
glestradeif you take my meaning23:24
EriC^^stevelanday: ok press analyze23:24
EriC^^then quick search23:25
stevelandayEriC^^, two options, 1 EFI system, 2 linux swap23:25
EriC^^stevelanday: basically keep pressing enter til it says deep search at the bottom23:25
stevelandayEriC^^, crap, only option was quick search, i hit enter and now has EFI highlighted, shall i continue hitting enter with EFI highlighted?23:27
EriC^^yes23:27
stevelandayEriC^^, ok done23:27
stevelandayEriC^^, its working23:28
pavlosglestrade: you can add that option23:29
glestradepavlos: so if I do that, it should come up by itself?23:31
EriC^^stevelanday: did you press quick search or deep search?23:31
pavlosglestrade: it forces to pop up a menu ... hidden sits silent till timeout23:32
stevelandayEriC^^, Yes, i chose whichever search i was offered, its currently analising the cylinder and has several things listed: https://imgur.com/4V5sl0i  fwiw, i would be just fine with recovering my ability to access my old MACOSX files and not regaining the ability to boot OSX. in other words, if I could just get back into the osx drive and grab out of there what I need, and so on.  if this helps.23:35
faLUCEhello. Why I can't run scripts with double clicking on 18.04 ? This is weird. It opens them with a text editor23:35
faLUCEand I can't change this behavior23:36
EriC^^stevelanday: yeah i get what you mean, the thing is using testdisk you can still see the structure and names and stuff, with photorec you'll get a bunch of random names in one dir23:36
kostkonfaLUCE, try making them executable first23:36
stevelandayEriC^^, I have another macbook that works and can use to connect to the macmini once i'm able to access that old macosx stuff.  but your the expert in this stuff, so I'll follow your advice and guidance, which is MUCH appreciated. :)23:37
faLUCEkostkon: already done23:38
faLUCEand I added the shebang too23:38
EriC^^stevelanday: ah nice, sure no rpoblem23:38
EriC^^*problem23:38
stevelandayEriC^^, However, if there is a chance that I can restore the mac os x drive back to being able to boot OSX, that of course would be preferable. :)23:39
EriC^^stevelanday: as soon as the mac hfs stuff and ms data ones start showing up, press enter to stop the deep search, but be sure not to continue past this screen https://imgur.com/TWyG9i423:39
EriC^^stevelanday: once you get there, you're going to want to highlight the mac hfs partition and other potential partitions, and press "P" to list the files if it can23:40
kostkonfaLUCE, you could try this https://askubuntu.com/a/1051275/165123:40
faLUCEkostkon: there's not a "preferences" voice in nautilus23:41
faLUCEthis is weird23:41
stevelandayEriC^^, i copy that23:41
stevelandayEriC^^, sorry, trying to be cool, i understand23:42
kostkonfaLUCE, hmm23:42
EriC^^stevelanday: if you're able to list those files and those are the ones you want, then you have 2 options, either to copy the dir or files by pressing "C" or you could add the partition they're on back to the table by using right arrow to make a "P" next to it instead of "D", and write the new table23:43
EriC^^stevelanday: hehe :)23:43
EriC^^stevelanday: i gtg to bed, i hope you're able to get the files back easily, good luck and if you need help tomorrow ill probably be on as well, see you23:44
stevelandayEriC^^, Oh boy, your a head of me technically here. Thank you for all the time and attention youve shown me.  I'll let this scan complete and return tomorrow.23:45
