[03:30] Ascavasaion: There is no proper fsck for ntfs filesystems on linux. If you really need to repair an ntfs filesystem, or even just check it thoroughly, you need to use Windows unfortunately. [03:40] Jordan_U: I am happy to lose any information on it. [03:41] Ascavasaion: What is your goal here? What happened to the drive / filesystem? [03:42] Wifetold me it has errors, I formated it and all seemed okay. I did not do a thorough erasing format though. [03:43] Ascavasaion: Any idea what led her to say that it "has errors"?

[04:36] what would the daemon do? [04:36] So, my phone is MTP capable. At this point I think that I'm having trouble with udev or some other permissions. [04:40] pavlos, the conntrackd package installs the daemon [04:40] and seemingly loads the modules too [04:41] realies: found it sudo apt install conntrackd then a service is created [04:41] :) [04:59] How can I find out which /dev/ is my phone?

[05:53] I never got that, but I know what you're talking about. I've seen that plugging into other computers with another phone. I don't remember doing that before with this phone, but for sure I never had to do it on a regular basis and the phone used to connect just fine up until yesterday when I recked my install, which is why I have a fresh install [05:53] today and have so many problems. Excuse that run on sentence. [05:53] What's the Ubuntu channel for unreleased (beta) versions of Ubuntu, like 20.04? [05:55] I'm looking for USB debugging now. [05:55] Citizen-Se7en: there is #ubuntu-devel for development discussion but not support of 20.04 [05:55] Also, what the end date for LTS support for 18.04?

It's in general more stable and has no bleeding edges [06:05] ok [06:07] hello [06:08] does anybody here have samba installed [06:11] when i go to the "Other Locations" of the file browser it shows my computer twice [06:11] Citizen-Se7en: Oh, check out #ubuntu+1 [06:12] ansimita: thanks for the update [06:12] and it has "(File Sharing)" after the name [06:12] can you provide a screenshot? [06:13] sure [06:13] how do i send the picture [06:13] just upload on any site and post the link here pls [06:13] but it's probably your drive shown as emulated samba filesystem (NTFS) [06:15] https://ibb.co/5MwL0Dm === aesi5 is now known as aesi [06:16] its not a mounted share === benpro0 is now known as benpro [06:16] its the computer listed twice [06:16] i find that when i stop the nmbd service only one shows up [06:17] when i stop smbd and keep nmbd it still shows [06:17] but there is an error when trying to access it [06:18] I see, that's strange [06:18] can you post your /etc/fstab [06:19] it's where all the mounting process is automatized [06:19] # # / was on /dev/sda7 during installationUUID=481ce8c0-788e-4141-9890-984201fb9aca / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# /boot/efi was on /dev/sda1 during installationUUID=10F6-887D /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1/swapfile [06:19] none swap sw 0 0 [06:19] sorry [06:19] that might be hard to read [06:19] but im not mounting any shares [06:20] I see, looks like a clean table to me. [06:20] what im talking about is browsing the equivalent of network neighborhood in windows [06:20] the older versions of samba dont seem to have this problem [06:20] gotcha and you got two shares of each instead of one. must be something in the samba config then probably [06:21] yea but i dont know whats going on [06:21] there seems to be something happening between nmbd and smbd daemons [06:21] probably better purge it and make a new clean setup... ;-) [06:22] i tried that already [06:22] i purged samba and samba-common [06:22] and installed again [06:23] same thing [06:23] I learn something new everyday. I did a lsusb -v and it shows an incredible amount of info. It also shows that my phone is capable of both MTP and PTP. [06:23] i also installed on debian 10 computer [06:23] same thing happened [06:23] that's eniac in the picture [06:23] the one i'm on now is littlearistotle [06:24] maybe a new "feature", lol [06:25] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1166653/nas-appearing-twice-in-other-locations [06:25] he has the same problem [06:26] I'm also on Google meanwhile... found a german guy with similar problem. he had shown to much shares connected with the wrong homefolder for the samba user [06:27] but you had the similar with the same package on two different machines / operating systems afai understood. [06:27] do you know how the file browsing program generates the list of computers in "other locations" [06:27] because it works even when samba is not installed [06:28] yes, thats right [06:28] i tried it on ubuntu and debian [06:29] and the debian was a fresh install [06:31] no [06:31] I don't know where this list is generated [06:31] i tried to figure that out [06:31] but i need some direction lol [06:33] well, your personal folders are configured in nautilus in the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [06:33] but that probably won't help you ;) [06:33] also, if i view the computers from windows, it doesnt have this problem [06:33] in the network neighborhood, that is [06:33] no, i need to get into the guts of the nautilus program i think [06:34] but it might be more effort than i care to exert for this annoyance lol [06:34] so your samba network seems to be set up in the right way. so it's just a listing problem of nautilus, could be possible [06:34] I hate that samba / 'windows environment' shit in my system. always leads to problems and ugly errors like this. [06:35] yes, when both nmbd and smbd are running i have the problem [06:35] when nmbd is turned off, only one computer shows [06:35] but docs say nmbd is necessary for proper function of smbd daemon [06:35] although i didnt experience any error when i tried it [06:37] maybe ill search google again in a few months [06:37] should be fixed by then haha [06:38] Which windows versions you are using? 8 and older? [06:39] it was windows xp that i looked in [06:40] ok I needed to read a little. I found a german site but I'll try to explain [06:40] excellent [06:40] your samba will resolve names over DNS. older windows versions relied on some functions of nmbd, windows versions after XP don't need it at all [06:41] so this is what probably happens: your ubuntu and debian resolves names over DNS _and_ over nmbd and you'll get two instances of each [06:41] interesting [06:41] according to that site you don't need nmbd for windows computers in the network which got windows 7+ [06:41] but i need it for the computers to be visible to xp? [06:42] and for a simple print / fileserver over samba you don't need nmbd and winbindd [06:42] yes, probably [06:42] then the question is why it is working properly with older samba versions [06:43] another thing i noticed is if i stop nmbd and smbd [06:43] then start smbd and then nmbd [06:43] it appears ok for a while (only listed once) [06:43] then after some time passes, it goes back to listing twice [06:43] but i dont know what triggers it exactly [06:43] that's DNS, it takes some time to set up [06:44] i dont think so, because the changes in the list are reflected almost instantly [06:44] for example if i stop both daemons [06:44] the listing goes away in both computers (debian and ubuntu) right away [06:45] then if i start nmbd first [06:45] and then start smbd, the problem arises [06:45] if i start them in reverse, there is no problem [06:45] ok, strange [06:46] but that's all I can help, been a while when I set up smb [06:46] thanks for your efforts, i appreciate it [06:46] np mate [07:02] F-word yeah!!!!! My phone problem was a udev problem. I have everything working now. [07:05] AssociateX: and you fixed how? [07:06] There were things that lead me to believe it was permissions, but here is how I did the repair: https://www.debugpoint.com/2016/03/how-to-access-android-devices-internal-storage-and-sd-card-in-ubuntu-linux-mint-using-media-transfer-protocol-mtp/ [07:07] lotuspsychje I wrote a udev rule. [07:07] hmm weird [07:07] phone connection works out of the box here [07:08] lotuspsychje lsusb -v gave info about the phone being capable of both MTP and PTP. [07:08] T-mobile said the phone was MTP [07:09] Well, now I can go to sleep for the night. [07:11] lotuspsychje I appreciate your help. It was all sane stuff. Also, the mtp-* tools would work part way on being plugged in fresh then fail. They did everything but succeed. I'm tired, but it looked like a strong case for permissions. [07:11] have a good night. [07:22] What is a cli for who space is used, I thought it was du but what I saw before only gave like 8-9 lines [07:22] s/who/what [07:22] dh -f ? [07:23] df -h i mean [07:24] lotuspsychje that's it.

[09:16] nice detailed .. https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ [09:17] all the benefits of aptitude are gone, afaik [09:18] what is the development process for ubuntu DVD ISOs? links? [09:19] are you looking for 20.04 beta? [09:19] !ubuntu+1 [09:19] Focal Fossa is the codename for Ubuntu 20.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [09:20] or wait 12 days and get support in here [09:20] I mean the process generally, not for a specific version [09:25] if i were to build a package from source, should i uninstall the previous version first? [09:25] oerheks, holding control does nothing [09:25] oerheks, still single selects [09:25] same with shift [09:25] neure, ctrl here works [09:26] which version of gThumb? [09:26] I have Ubuntu 19.10 / gThumb 3.8.0 [09:27] interesting, 18.04 here with 3.9.1 [09:29] I'll try to remove gthumb and build from git sourec [09:35] okay so now I have 3.9.1 [09:35] and I realize what is wrong [09:35] UI is in two different modes when there is one image previewed or not [09:35] If there is image previewed, you still get to see other thumbs, but you won't be able to multiple select from that [09:36] I need to press ESC to exit image preview and _then_ I can multiselect images [09:36] a bit annoying but I guess I can live with that [09:37] hashtag firstworldproblem [09:39] well it is annoying because in order to select multiple images already when I click first image it goes to preview which i need to immediately exit [09:42] Oo there is setting double click to open [09:42] that fixes it [09:42] weirdo default [10:26] Using aptitude, is it advisable to allow it to take these steps to resolve dependencies? https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2eac4ob8nflpvv/Selection_285.png?dl=0 [10:32] can anyone help me get dual screen working with the the AMD Ryzen™ 9 4900HS integrated vesa graphics gpu [10:39] following on from my question above, apt-get check doesn't show any problems. So, which is correct, aptitude, or apt-get? [10:58] can anyone help me get dual screen working with the the AMD Ryzen™ 9 4900HS integrated vesa graphics gpu ? [10:58] oh sorry for the repeat [11:04] qq === StathisA- is now known as StathisA [11:11] is there a "rugged" distro with linux kernel 5.5? The AMD Ryzen 4000 Mobile Series "Renoir" Graphics are no longer experimental With Linux 5.5. PS my laptop also has a nvidia RTX 2060 max-q on board.  [11:21] i put all the files from a directory in a file and delete the ones i want to keep. how do i use rm to delete the files left in the list? [11:23] for f in $(cat filecontainingdeletelist) ; do echo $f ; done [11:23] if that spits out the list of files you want to delete, run the same command but switch echo with rm [11:24] viktor_: while IFS='' read -r $file; do rm "$file"; done < mylist [11:25] be careful with stuff like rm [11:25] the for loop has some faults intrinsicly if you use it, i must add [11:26] yeh, it assumes there are no spaces in your filenames [11:27] there's also whitespaces in the filenames... [11:27] ok dont use mine then [11:28] damo22: yup, also there's other stuff, if you're interested they're here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26479562/what-does-ifs-do-in-this-bash-loop-cat-file-while-ifs-read-r-line-do/26480210 [11:32] EriC^^: i have to substitute $file or "mylist"? [11:39] If I get "rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred" can I safely assume it's just the permissions, not files? [11:42] viktor_: mylist [11:55] EriC^^: i get "rm: cannot remove '': No such file or directory" [12:00] viktor_: sounds like the list has an empty line or something [12:01] Hi, I've trouble with my laptop when It come to sleep, I sometimes at wake up loose the pad and can't move the mouse ny more, but if I 'switch user' or logout it came again [12:01] EriC^^: maybe i'll try to write a small pyhton program to sift through large directories. thanks anyway [12:02] I think a service stop or hang but I don;t know which one and don't know how to find it [12:03] Hiyas all [12:05] Logged in this morning, ran sudo apt update and apt advises there are two packages waiting: libgcc1 and libgcc1:i386 . [12:05] Running sudo apt upgrade then produced the message "packages have been held back". [12:06] A little more digging produced a conflict that because the installed versions are co-dependent, neither can be updated because it would remove a package dependent on the other package. [12:08] Well, this is a 64-bit system and so maybe I'll get away with it: using apt-get remove, I removed libgcc1:i386 then reran sudo apt-get update followed by sudo apt-get upgrade. [12:09] That fix the problem for libgcc1 64-bit [12:09] ...fixed.. [12:10] Will sudo apt-get install libgcc1:i386 (a) reinstall libgcc1:i386 and (b) install the same co-dependency? [12:17] On the "advice" of someone using an /msg along the lines of: "Well, BUDDY, why don't YOU try it and let us know what happened." so I did. apt-get indicated it would uninstall the 64-bit library and install the i386 version and did I want to continue. [12:18] No, guess I didn't. [12:23] is there anyone here who has successfully upgraded to kernel +5.5? [12:27] is it possible to remove the core snaps in 18.04? Getting ´cannot remove "core": snap "core" is not removable: snap is used by the model´,also tried to remove revisions which also doesnt work,i got no other snaps running [12:29] got it working had to purge the snapd package instead of remove... === Bonn333 is now known as bonn === bonn is now known as Bonn333 [13:22] Hey!

So, which is correct, aptitude, or apt-get? [15:40] !aptitude [15:40] Like apt and apt-get, aptitude is a terminal frontend for Ubuntu's package management system. Unlike the others, it is not recommended in Ubuntu because its behavior differs significantly from other Ubuntu package management tools and can cause issues. [15:41] try with apt only? apt is superiour over apt-get. === pyre_ is now known as pyre [15:43] does "sudo apt update" or simulating the default resolution via "sudo apt full-upgrade -syV" hint on any issues? === pyre_ is now known as pyre === pyre_ is now known as pyre [16:13] hello [16:13] could someone tell me what happened here and how to fix it? https://kopy.io/Z9FUY [16:13] (at the beginning: attempt to compile BPG encoder) [16:18] you're mixing packages from different sources which is probably the root cause of these issues. "sudo apt update; apt policy" will tell you more about how your apt sources is configured. [16:19] TheWild, i suppose it's another libpulse-dev issue [16:21] TheWild, for libsdl-image1.2-dev, at least [16:22] ioria: nope, didn't work. Now I'm curious what I broke by removing libpulse-dev. [16:22] I suppose it's deb.sury.org, but I added it only for PHP [16:24] that's not how apt repositories work, though. you add a repository, you get all the packages it provides as potential installation candidates. [16:25] TheWild, i'd start purging those deb.sury.org~xenial+1 [16:25] ioria: you mean, remove PHP or remove the repository from sources? [16:26] tomreyn: https://kopy.io/skA6W [16:26] ubuntu stuck in a loop "https://drive.google.com/open?id=13C8RpVgINeObhgiRllV_wfk2YQ7QPbJK" [16:27] before watching the video please mute it [16:27] TheWild, dpkg -l | grep libjbig0 [16:28] ii libjbig0:amd64 2.1-3.1+deb.sury.org~xenial+1 amd64 JBIGkit libraries [16:28] and surprisingly apt won't let me even remove it [16:29] TheWild: "deb.sury.org~xenial+1" suggests this system still has packages installed which used to come from an apt repository you (according to the output you just posted) no longer have active. and that repository was for ubuntu xenial (16.04) apparently, not for ubuntu bionic (18.04) which the majority of this system seems to be. [16:29] TheWild, use ppa-purge [16:29] the sury ppa is not enabled though [16:29] meh, "sudo apt install ppa-purge" [16:29] tools already there can't handle it? [16:30] so either re-enable the sury repository before using ppa-purge or use apt-forktracer [16:30] how reenable? I don't think it was disabled. [16:31] anyone please help out [16:31] database2: start by describing your problem, textually [16:31] TheWild: https://kopy.io/skA6W suggests the sury PPA is not enabled. [16:31] and it will revert PHP to older version probably :/ [16:32] tomreyn: here is the video "https://drive.google.com/open?id=13C8RpVgINeObhgiRllV_wfk2YQ7QPbJK" [16:32] database2: 404 [16:32] ohh [16:34] constantly getting surge protection from help.ubuntu.com [16:35] tomreyn: this is ondrej/php [16:35] tomreyn: I'm not really happy about downgrading PHP.

[16:39] i can boot in recovery mode [16:39] database2, enable networking and drop to root shell [16:40] okay give me a minute [16:42] Mechanismus: please report a problem as discusse don the topic of #canonical-sysadmin ("RT") providing the URL you tried to access and the error message you received. [16:42] TheWild: ah right, sorry i missed the PPA [16:43] TheWild: i doubt the packages in the 'bionic' PPA are named *-xenial-* though so what you have is likely a leftover from before you upgraded. as apt-foktracer would tell you if you used it. [16:43] Ioria: after that [16:45] ah s**t, I see [16:45] database228, check the disk space : df -h [16:45] the file is /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ondrej-ubuntu-php-xenial.list [16:45] but inside is: [16:45] # deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php/ubuntu bionic main [16:45] looks likedisabled [16:52] https://kopy.io/dGNp4 [16:52] ioria: executed df -h [16:53] database228, what about root ?

[17:06] ioria: did it what next [17:06] okay, so... let's remove libjbig0? [17:06] And also ran dpkg - l ... command and now only 8 entries [17:07] database228, can you paste the output ? dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:09] TheWild, i think that pkg is important for other programs, i suggest to not remove it [17:09] ioria: no worries, it doesn't work as well: https://kopy.io/b8HBi [17:10] ioria: https://kopy.io/zwx0 === slackerx_ is now known as slackerx [17:11] database228, i see nothing [17:12] database228, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:12] TheWild: i mentioned apt-forktracer as a way forward twice so far, now three times. this should be sufficient for now, i think. if you prefer to use software already installed, ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported can help with this as well. [17:12] ioria: sorry https://termbin.com/zwx0 [17:13] database228, sudo apt purge linux-image-4.15.0-76-generic [17:13] TheWild: if you'd like to read up more on this: https://github.com/tomreyn/scripts#foreign_packages [17:13] ioria: above link is correct you can see see [17:13] database228, sudo apt purge linux-image-4.15.0-76-generic [17:13] Done [17:14] ioria: it's downloading [17:14] database228, downloading what ?

I will wait. [17:45] ioria: https://termbin.com/jtqu [17:46] TheWild, you still have deb.sury.org~xenial+1 packages installed [17:46] TheWild: so apt-forktracer lists package versions which are installed but can't be matched against an apt repository you have configured (i call those "foreign package versions", or "foreign packages"). those packages should usually be removed or replaced by package versions (or other packages) which you have an apt repository configured for. in some cases all you want to do is configure an (usually 3rd party) apt repository which provides these [17:46] packages and an upgrade path for them. [17:47] database228, you're booting with nomodeset and nvidia is loaded [17:47] ioria: output of cat /porc/cmdline [17:47] https://termbin.com/70uv [17:48] TheWild: regarding "I want to simply fix something that shouldn't get broken in the first place (thanks apt for wasting my time)" - this problem was not introduced by apt, but by someone managing this system.

[17:51] ioria: screen something come and go with the speed of light almost 5 or 6 times [17:51] tomreyn: different question: what will be easier: fixing this mess or reinstalling Ubuntu? [17:52] database228, sudo nano /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and remove the '#' in front of WaylandEnable=false [17:53] TheWild: i don't know you well enough to answer this. for me, fixing it should be a quick process and i'd prefer it (but then i'd try not to run into this situation in the first place by purging PPAs before release upgrading). [17:54] ioria: done [17:55] database228, dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:56] TheWild: here's how i would go about this: go over the list of packages reported by apt-forktracer. see whether there are packages listed which sound like they provide functionality i do not want to loose. for those packages, see if i have this functionality already covered by other packages which are also installed, or packages provided by the current ubuntu release. in some cases you may want to re-enable the 'Bionic' version of a third party [17:56] repository you used to have enabled in the past (but try to limit this as much as possible). and anything you don't seem to actually require, should just be deleted.

[17:59] ioria: I don't know how so what next [18:00] yo.. I got boor-repair. cas your trick just boot ubuntu only [18:00] database228, sudo apt purge nvidia-384 [18:00] IntelCore: how come i thought it picked up bootmgfw.efi.backup when you did update-grub [18:00] now still only ubuntu.. but, grub menu is up [18:01] and I looked with. boot info script... and went, wow. [18:01] ioria: done [18:01] database228, sudo apt purge linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-76-generic [18:02] ioria: done [18:03] database228, try to restart gdm: sudo systemctl restart gdm3 [18:03] ioria blinked 5 times [18:04] database228, sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic and reboot [18:06] libjbig0 for example is up to date (taken from deb.sury.org). I can't reinstall it because "Reinstallation of libjbig0 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded." and I can't remove it because too many things depend on it. [18:06] EriC^ - chk yuor chat winder pls. [18:06] no rush [18:08] ioria: no graphic [18:09] database228, open a console and paste dmesg output [18:10] ioria: https://termbin.com/p08p [18:13] ioria: what you find? [18:13] database228, can you boot without nomodeset now ? [18:13] brb [18:14] Ioria: okay [18:16] TheWild: what's the output of: (sudo apt update &>1; echo; apt policy &>1; echo; apt policy libjbig0 &>1) > /tmp/ubuntusupport; cat /tmp/ubuntusupport | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:17] TheWild: ignore this [18:17] ioria: the same old problem can't even open console [18:18] I think I'm going to wipe it anyway :/ [18:18] TheWild: what's the output of: (sudo apt update 2>&1; echo; apt policy 2>&1; echo; apt policy libjbig0 2>&1) > /tmp/ubuntusupport; cat /tmp/ubuntusupport | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:18] it's broken [18:19] https://termbin.com/3xku [18:20] TheWild: do you need a PHP version which is different than the one ubuntu 18.04 LTS provides? [18:21] PHP 7.4 dammit! [18:22] TheWild: run this to install the version of package libjbig0 which is provided by Ubuntu 18.04: sudo apt install libjbig0=2.1-3.1build1 [18:22] will it simply install that version or install that version and pin it? I don't want it to be pinned. [18:23] database228, ok, boot again with nomodeset [18:24] Okay [18:25] TheWild: it will replace the leftover package version (which was built for ubuntu 16.04, and now has no upgrade path, and gets no security updates, and has the potential to break your apt dependencies), which you have installed now, by the one which is available in ubuntu 18.04, and continue to track ubuntu 18.04 for updates on this package. [18:25] it will not configure apt pinning [18:27] good! [18:27] where did you pick that version from... oh, I see [18:27] ioria: booted [18:28] Ioria: booted without nomodeset [18:28] database228, and ? [18:29] Same old problem screen keep blinking [18:29] Mouse Pointer pointer come and goes [18:29] database228, but you're not using nomodeset atm, right ? [18:29] Yeah [18:30] database228, paste lspci -nnk [18:31] Can't open console to open console I need to reboot the system and boot with nomodeset [18:32] Ioria: should I do [18:33] database228, i want to know if you can boot correctly 'without' nomodest [18:36] ioria: no I can't boot correctly without nomodeset [18:36] database228, where it stops ? [18:37] It doesn't show I can only see black screen [18:37] database228, remove quiet splash [18:38] Okay [18:38] sudo apt install libsdl-image1.2-dev [18:38] success! [18:39] thank you tomreyn and pardon my lack of patience [18:39] now I know where to search and what to fix [18:39] ioria: i didn't follow the full discussion with database228, but https://termbin.com/p08p states "NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 390.132" and states "Linux version 4.15.0-96-generic [..] Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04 [..] #97-Ubuntu" - which suggests nvidia driver 390 version 132 is being used on an ubuntu 18.04 LTS system. By default, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS provides version 116 (0ubuntu0.18.04.3) of this driver according to https://packages.ubuntu.c [18:39] om/search?keywords=nvidia-driver-390 [18:40] that's https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nvidia-driver-390 [18:40] TheWild: you're welcome. is your apt-forktracer output empty, yet, though? since it should be. [18:41] not yet. I'm still fixing this. [18:41] ioria: booting without nomodeset and quite splash [18:41] but at least I got libsdl-image1.2-dev [18:41] and maybe I'll manage to install wine. I couldn't install it because of the same problem long time ago and I gave up. [18:41] ioria still can't see anything other then black blinking screen [18:42] it's driver [18:42] TheWild: right, good start. also you're learning how to recover from this situation which you may want to take notes on since it can happen again (or most likely will, unless you're purge all PPAs before release upgrading in the future). [18:42] yes, I'll definitely save this discussion [18:42] tomreyn, 132 isin proposed-restricted [18:43] ioria: oh ok, sorry. [18:43] !info nvidia-driver-390 bionic-proposed [18:43] ioria: starting nvidia persistent daemon [18:43] nvidia-driver-390 (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-390): NVIDIA driver metapackage. In component restricted, is optional. Version 390.132-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (bionic-proposed), package size 372 kB, installed size 1081 kB [18:44] I think the only ppa I keep is docker. [18:44] database228, let's try to purge nvidia : sudo apt purge nvidia-driver-390 [18:45] ioria: starting nvidia persistent daemon and the next line is stopped nvidia persistent daemon tools [18:45] database228, let's try to purge nvidia : sudo apt purge nvidia-driver-390 [18:47] ioria: Done [18:48] database228, sudo apt autoremove --purge [18:48] Okay [18:48] ioria: done [18:49] database228, dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:53] tomreyn: I don't get this line: libicu55 (55.1-7ubuntu0.4) [18:53] there's nothing in square brackets. Should I simply remove the package. (this one has actually to do something with Unicode) [18:54] my installation has libicu55 and libicu60 [18:54] ioria: output of "didi dpkg -i"https://termbin.com/rag1 [18:54] database228, try again [18:54] TheWild: i said that the apt-forktracer output should be empty. this wasn't exactly correct: to make it empty, you'd need to not have any packages from 3rd party repositories installed. what you should try to achieve is that its output lists no packages where there is no APT repository configured for the given package, so no upgrade path for this package. in this case, you would have no square brackets on the line of output. [18:55] ioria: when I try with your command then I didn't get any URL [18:55] TheWild: also, you should not have a package installed where the version in round brackets (the one installed) is not matched by one of the versions in square brackets (the versions available from apt repositories configured ony our system) [18:56] TheWild: the line you just referred to matches the first case i just described. [18:56] database228, run only 'dpkg -l | grep nvidia ' if it's empty it's ok [18:56] Yeah it's Empty [18:57] ioria: next [18:57] database228, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:58] ioria: https://termbin.com/ahd2 [18:59] TheWild: this is a complete orphan pakage, it should be removed. that's unless you know you need and actually use this specific package (and not just one named similarily) for some reason. for example, you might have a printer driver downloaded from a wendor website, distributed as .deb package only, without apt repository, and thus without an upgrade path. [18:59] database228, deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ disco main [19:00] though nothing seems to refer to that package and I don't remember ever installing it manually [19:00] ioria: ??

[19:04] TheWild: do-release-upgrade, the ubuntu release upgrader, would remove some packages from a list of packages no longer needed, around the the later part of the release upgrade. sometimes release upgrades fail somewhere in the middle (usually due to non-purged third party packages and unsolvable package dependencies they introduce), in which case it exts immediately, and those package removals do not take place. [19:04] *exits [19:05] ioria: sorry, but what next [19:07] database228, dpkg -l | grep wine | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:08] TheWild: In the case of a xenial -> bionic release upgrade, i think that do-release-upgrade would have replaced libicu55 (only available on xenial - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libicu55 ) by libicu60 (only available on bionic https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libicu60 ) during this late upgrade stage.

[19:27] Let me see [19:28] Hello people. I did a fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04, it's updated. I did the minimal install. I could not get files off of my phone, specifically photos. I created a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/ "SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1004", ATTR{idProduct}=="633e", MODE="0666"" then restarted udev. This worked last night, but not this morning. So, [19:28] I did "sudo chmod 777 /dev/bus/usb/001/*" and now I have access to the files on my phone. I think that what I am doing is a little reckless, but proves the point that I have a permissions problem. There is probably a completely sane solution to accomplish the same thing, and I hope that someone here knows what that solution is. [19:30] ioria: started user manager for uid121 [19:32] database2, did you edit/change some system config files ? like plymouth or ubuntu.css [19:32] why is the snap version of chromium so damn broken? [19:33] ioria: never [19:34] database2, then when this started to happen ? [19:35] Yesterday morning I was watching YouTube and suddenly my computer hang and no icon were working [19:35] i see [19:36] Only mouse was working [19:36] does anyone know why I can't install a theme from gnome look? I get a page says address wasn't understood [19:36] I have gnome tweak tool installed [19:36] database2, can you open a console ? [19:36] And after that I long pressed the power button [19:37] database2, can you open a console ? [19:37] Does this seem like the right soln? https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1136805/ [19:38] Ioria: need to boot again with nomodset [19:38] database2, wow, ok [19:44] ioria: done [19:44] database2, sudo apt install lightdm and set it as default [19:45] ioria done [19:46] database2, reboot :þ [19:46] ioria: With nomodeset? [19:46] database2, nope [19:48] ioria: same problem [19:49] ioria: started light display manager [19:49] database2, instead of nomodest bootwith 'i915.modeset=0' [19:51] Hello, I tried accessing the ubuntu wiki (help.ubuntu.com) from a google search result. I got a "Surge protection" error message despite this being the first time I've accessed the site in a while [19:51] I tried waiting two minutes to no effect, not sure what else to do so I hopped onto IRC === hggdh is now known as hggdh-msft [19:53] is anyone here using djvu encoder?

[20:01] ioria right [20:01] database2, try again [20:02] ioria: not working [20:03] database2, i'am afaid i have to leave, but you keep asking in here or come back tomorrow [20:03] ioria: okay [20:04] ioria: thanks [20:07] Hi guys i am playing some games steam games, and i realized now no matter what resolution i pick, EVERYTHING becomes stretched. In windows u can choose if u wanna have black bars or stretch [20:07] how do i add black bars, for instance i wanna play a game at 800x600 [20:07] without stretching [20:07] thanks [20:10] play game in a window [20:10] not full screen [20:11] check game video settings [20:18] you mean play in windows mode?

[20:21] here is the content of my yaml file for my netplan https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3tWgQ8Mx4H/ [20:28] Mcl0vin: while it's fine here, there's #ubuntu-server for server specific questions (netplan is mostly used on servers). it could also help to describe "everytime I stop run my box i have to issue sudo netplan apply for my box to talk to my network" better, adding logs (such as from the latest shutdown / reboot: journalctl -eb -1 ), screen shots, error messages. [20:30] (personally, i will be afk for a while now, but will try to see whether you got help here later after providing more information) === slackerx_ is now known as slackerx [20:38] know about boot ing ubuntu & win10? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jjmb7Y4QCQ/ [20:39] looks like it's grub picked up firmware [20:43] IntelCore: i dont get it, last time i remember you said it picked up windows [20:45] oh nevermind IntelCore , you didnt mention that [20:46] IntelCore: are you there? [20:53] anyone know what I am doing wrong, adding a kvm bridge (01-netcfg.yaml) to /etc/netplan, current ext. IP static, when I add the 2nd .yaml and do sudo netplan apply - it works until I reboot. SO I'm doing something wrong.. [20:58] v18.04 [21:06] hey [21:07] yes [21:07] sorry [21:09] ubuntu boots via grub, nothing else [21:10] might pewin/bcd the file? [21:10] Simple question: If I install the 20.04 beta, I assume I can easily install updates as they come to get my system up to the official release, once it comes? [21:11] I'm setting up a new computer and want the new LTS, but I don't want to wait til the end of the month [21:11] TheShagg, I personally do so every LTS. No way to know for sure, but I would be all will be fine. [21:12] I am 20.04 on 4 devices. [21:12] !final [21:12] If you install a development version of Ubuntu Focal and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 20.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. [21:12] sorry grammer [21:12] great, thanks all! [21:14] I've been playing with fedora (I need some newer virtualization features for GPU passthrough), but I've been having terrible luck with problems with drive encryption. I'm hoping the new Ubuntu LTS will cover all my bases and just work + be stable.
