[00:07] akem, sarnold So I uninstalled everything that should automatically set cpufreq. Ubuntu has crashed on me several times now, not sure if that's causal. [00:07] akem, sarnold Anyway, at 3.8 Ghz, dropdowns and UI stuff is basically instant. [00:08] So I'm pretty sure that's the problem. [00:25] cluelessperson_: Do you know how I can do that? [00:34] How to monitor memory and cpu usage by each app/daemon? [00:36] codedmart_, I just got back, do what? [00:37] codedmart_, oh, bridge lxc to your wifi connection? [00:37] * cluelessperson_ forgets how to do that atm and has to think [00:37] codedmart_, basically you'll need to setup a virtual interface and bridge it to your wifi interface. [00:38] codedmart_, https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/10/22/introduction-to-linux-interfaces-for-virtual-networking/ [00:38] yeah there should be a simple config for that for lxc [00:38] that looks like it will have the information you need. [00:38] sarnold, so I uninstalled a bunch of stuff, went back to non-wayland, and now lscpu shows 3.8ghz === benfrancis1 is now known as benfrancis [00:43] codedmart_ / cluelessperson_: bridging to a wireless adapter is quite non-trivial, and depends on the wireless adapter and the AP involved [00:43] if you can just route a subnet to the host and sit your containers behind that, it often simplifies things [00:47] does anyone know what `/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0` are? === mooses is now known as mouses === mouses is now known as longcat === longcat is now known as mouses === mouses is now known as mooses [00:53] cluelessperson_: looks like one directory per processor on the system [00:54] sarnold, there's already /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* [00:54] * cluelessperson_ doesn't like guessing [00:56] https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-cpufreq-2/index.html === TheSingingYogurt is now known as TheTalkingYogurt [01:02] hello [01:03] I'm having a very weird problem... up until two days ago, my small home server (18.04) was working flawlessly but today I find that any outgoing traffic sees a huuuuuge packet loss [01:04] it's a small OptiPlex 9020 USFF with an I217-LM NIC [01:05] I believe it uses the e1000e driver [01:06] I'm also getting weird *BAD*gran_size lines in kernel messages, and I seriously don't recall having had them before [01:06] there have been zero hardware or software changes, not even an update [01:07] I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem but netbsd doesn't seem to have a problem with it [01:07] any ideas ? [01:08] I'm accustomed to seeing those *BAD* messages in dmesg on bugreports from machines that seem pretty unhappy [01:08] but I've never figured out if those are themselves causes of problems or just indicators of firmware problems that the system is otherwise able to ignore or patch up [01:09] yep, I got to the same non-conclusion [01:10] hehehe [01:10] thanks for that :) I'll have to try to remember that one, that's good [01:10] it's so weird, SSHing into the server starts reasonably well but running anything output-heavy (like dmesg) not only slows to a crawl but actually drops the connection [01:10] :) [01:10] glad to be of service ;) [01:11] I hate this suggestion, but .. I wonder if you manually cap the MTU on the interface to something lower? [01:11] TheTalkingYogurt: is that over the LAN, or to somewhere external? [01:11] TheTalkingYogurt; where is the server over internet or in the local network [01:11] what sarnold said :) [01:11] hello people! [01:12] I'm given some slight comfort that both tds and kk4ewt seemed to be heading in the same direction, heh [01:12] it's open but behind a NAT, however the problem is the same whether on the LAN or outside of it [01:12] sarnold; need the full picture [01:12] sarnold: too many people bitten by it in the past :) [01:14] TheTalkingYogurt: Can you reproduce the problem with an Ubuntu 18.04 LiveUSB? [01:14] I'd lower the MTU if it weren't for the fact that before yesterday everything worked fine with the defaults, 1GB connection basically saturated without any issue [01:14] Jordan_U, I tried before coming here, just installed openssh-server on the live 18.04.4, same exact story [01:15] TheTalkingYogurt; unplug a replug the ethernet cable on both ends and test [01:15] unplug and replug [01:15] kk4ewt, already did, tried another cable and another switch [01:15] still the same ? [01:15] sadly yes [01:16] it's like a voodoo curse [01:16] I thought those only happened to Windows in the nineties [01:17] and the server is in the same network correct [01:18] regarding the *BAD* messages, I memtested the RAM and it seems ok; I found some reference to mtrr kernel parameters but I'm not sure I understand it all [01:18] static or dhcp? [01:19] yep, the server is currently next to me, on the same switch as the machine I'm working on, DHCP but with a static address [01:19] TheTalkingYogurt: So the DHCP server is configured to always give out the same IP to this host? [01:19] double check the ip submask and gateway on the effected machines [01:19] yes [01:20] I'll do that [01:21] default gateway and subnet mask are fine [01:21] TheTalkingYogurt: Check for ip address collisions too. [01:23] ethernet port on motherboard or external card [01:24] no ip collisions, ethernet port on motherboard [01:24] laptop or desktop [01:26] it's small desktop (OptiPlex 9020 USFF), looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/1cXRyD4.jpg [01:28] how do counters in `ip -s link` look? [01:30] TX: 495734, 1553 packets, zero errors, collisions, etc. === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:31] Hey everyone. I'm having an issue updating my Ubuntu 18.04 instance. When I do "sudo apt autoremove" I get this https://imgur.com/a/7wDqJ0h . Also I'm running this instance on Microsoft Azure. [01:31] oh wow, I've got a lot of dropped packets 799299 [01:32] probably covid19 underpaying the deliveries [01:32] * TheTalkingYogurt ducks [01:33] i'd be tempted to directly connect the two machines and test, just to rule out the switch and the rest of the network [01:33] TheTalkingYogurt: It might be interesting to compare a tcpdump from the problem computer and another machine. See which packets one sends vs what the other receives. [01:34] rainmanjam: How long has it been like that without the output changing? [01:34] Jordan_U, WHY didn't I think of that... [01:34] thanks :) [01:36] rainmanjam: I assume that you would have gotten the same "setting up grub-efi-amd64" if you had run "sudo dpkg --configure -a", the package configuration was probably interrupted the last time you had a package update. [01:36] @Jordan_U 1.5 hours [01:37] @Jordan_U correct [01:38] rainmanjam: Please pastebin the output of "ps aux | grep grub". [01:39] @Jordan_U https://pastebin.com/whR8Mw3W [01:41] OH FOR FSM SAKE [01:41] tds, good call [01:42] I just looked up the logs on my UPS [01:42] rainmanjam: This is probably what's hanging: /usr/sbin/grub-probe --device /dev/sda1 --target=fs_uuid [01:42] apparently both my switches are dead [01:42] * TheTalkingYogurt looks like a fool [01:42] sorry folks [01:43] thanks for your help [01:43] TheTalkingYogurt: I'm confused, what do you mean by dead? [01:43] TheTalkingYogurt: sorry about the swtiches :( [01:43] well it seems we had a bit of an oversurge yesterday [01:44] rainmanjam: I can possibly help you make a fake grub-probe that gives the correct output, if it ends up coming to that. Anything in dmesg? My guess is that it's hanging in a syscall somewhere, not in userspace. [01:45] and these two switches (small 5-port ones) were plugged directly on a wall socket [01:45] I have no idea what exactly happened but I just dug up an older 100bt one and it works flawlessly [01:45] TheTalkingYogurt: I wonder what magic netbsd was performing. Maybe had the link configured for 100mbps rather than gigabit? [01:46] Jordan_U, possibly, I admit that I hadn't noticed (or even checked) [01:47] sarnold, it's okay, I'd rather have two dead home switches than a dead server [01:47] TheTalkingYogurt: so true [01:48] TheTalkingYogurt: Still worth testing direct between two computers, make sure that you can actually get a reliable link when negotiating to gigabit. [01:48] Jordan_U, exactly what I'm trying now, and it's perfectly stable [01:48] Hm... I feel like there is a problem with Linux 5.3.0-46-generic. My systems hangs for about 3~5 seconds when I switch apps. This did not happen in 5.3.0-40-generic. Unfortunately I already `autoremoved` 40, so I can't go back temporarily. [01:50] thanks a lot for all your ideas, people :) [01:50] DarkTrick: if they're already gone from your mirror, you can grab them from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory [01:50] (now I just have to see if I can salvage those switches...) [01:51] tds: What do you mean route a subnet to the host. I am just running lxc on my laptop to test out some development env stuff. [01:52] add a static route on your router for a subnet via your laptop, then put your containers in that subnet, behind your laptop as a router [01:52] sarnold, how would I safely install it? like usual SW? [01:53] or the hacky solution is to just NAT the containers behind your laptop's address on the wireless interface - I think lxc should do that out of the box, there will be an "lxcbr0" bridge for it? [01:54] tds: Yeah internet was working out of the box, but I wanted to expose some ports and that led me to macvlan which didn't work with wireless which led me down this road. [01:55] DarkTrick: I don't think there's a great way to install them if they're removed from your mirror -- at least the links on launchpad are https, so if you download them manually, you'll have some assurance that they came from launchpad; but afaik there's no easy way to get launchpad's historical packages via apt :( [01:55] So really if I could expose ports from the container to the host with the standard bridge lxdbr0 that would be ideal. [01:55] if you already have NATed networking working, you could add some NAT rules to just expose specific ports via your laptop's ip [01:56] sarnold, so I guess I should endure the situation :/ Thank you [01:56] DarkTrick: at least report bugs.. [01:56] sarnold, is there a good place to report the problem? [01:56] @Jordan_U Sorry for the delay. had to let my dog out. [01:56] tds: Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am not sure how or what you mean. [01:56] sarnold, I can't really like ... make a technical bug report [01:56] DarkTrick: ubuntu-bug linux will get you started -- you'll need a launchpad account to carry through with it [01:57] codedmart_: ahh, if you're using lxc rather than lxd, looks like it has some built in stuff to proxy connections via the host's ip [01:57] https://discuss.linuxcontainers.org/t/forward-port-80-and-443-from-wan-to-container/2042/2 [01:57] sarnold, So I'd rather search for a "tell it to people in charge and when more people complain, they will look into it"-stategy...(?) [01:57] ugh, I meant "lxd rather than lxc", you get the idea [01:58] tds: Oh great I missed that. [01:58] Thanks! [01:58] I'm going to try one more thing. brb [02:03] Home do I change the workgroup name without installing samba [02:04] I assuming it some where in nautilus settings [02:06] how* [02:09] @Jordan_U New error..:-( https://pastebin.com/LM9U8FC7 [02:15] When I do sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend [02:16] When I do "sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend" the computer goes unresponsive and I have to hard reboot [02:16] o_O [02:18] @sarnold Yea.. I looked the same way. [02:19] that's the kind of thing I might chalk up to hardware failure, eg that block just can't be read off disk, but the disk is going to keep trying [02:20] and inspecting processes hung in D state it's possible to get *new* processes stuck in D state [02:20] but I haven't actually seen that behaviour in fifteen years or so [02:20] how do I change the workgroup name without installing samba I assuming it some where in nautilus settings [02:20] I am on the newest version of Ubuntu and I can't install the Mixxx software as explained in their download section because their repository reports I am already having newest version, which I am not. How to fix it, thank you. https://www.mixxx.org/download/ [02:20] I self updated my Ubuntu 18 using that guide https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/upgrade-ubuntu-18-04-to-ubuntu-19-10-from-command-line [02:21] Captain_Proton, not sure about nautilus [02:22] parak0vsky: you should have stayed on bionic -- it looks like their software doesn't build on eoan https://launchpad.net/~mixxx/+archive/ubuntu/mixxx/+packages [02:23] parak0vsky: they may not know that their software isn't available for the two most recent releases, it's probably worth reporting to them [02:23] Captain_Proton, are you absolutely precluded from installing samba? [02:23] it's remarkably stable and -- to my experience -- very smooth [02:23] sarnold: any way I can fix that on my end right now? [02:24] I can install samba but to just over ride the workgroup name seems overkill [02:25] Captain_Proton: btw *why* do you want to change the workgroup name? [02:25] parak0vsky: nothing great. you could try installing bionic in LXD or a VM and run mixxx from within the lxd instance or the VM instance [02:25] I'm not sure that you _can_ change it without declaring one (ie. it just uses the default wg name) [02:26] the default is workgroup my network is called HOME since there is a mismatch it does not find anything in HOME unless I use the ip address [02:29] sarnold, I track it down!! it is a setting in dconf > org/gnome/system/smb/workgroup [02:29] aha! cool :) === mooses is now known as mouses [02:34] that's a weird design decision [02:35] to be able to browse without installing samba but to not have a GUI to set a workgroup === vitalio_ is now known as vitalio [03:00] hello [03:04] i am about to something shenanigans and I have read up as much as I can but I am very fluent with nix as an end user and managing the post server aspect... but I am done with windows and I am tired of self punsihment in the brutal chimera that is the rotten fruit... I did indeed think different and well... low hanging fruit is low rotten quickly [03:04] I had a few questions in any vent in working this through vultur [03:04] on an instance there [03:05] I dream of my own recursive dns,,,, ahhhh over over https,my own vpn [03:06] and just insultating as much I can aginst comcastic [03:06] so I was wondering if I could ask a few questions [03:06] just as the vps concept is alien to me [03:07] n00b: https://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc/ [03:07] ask clear concise questions. If people know they might answer. do not ask to ask. be aware I myself do not know. [03:08] my apologies [03:08] my ettiquttee is way out of date. [03:09] n00b: what do you want to ask? [03:09] n00b: #6 – Do not /msg people without asking [03:10] deltab, thanks for that link, but it doesn't seem clear to me what the heck these policies are. [03:13] hi del, in looking at the server hardware from bare metal to Legion, I am unsure what is appropriate performance wise for a vpn, recursive bind or some variant and anything ele I can do. I think to start, i want to just setup a personal openvpn vps server. [03:14] and build into doh, and any other things to encapsulate data [03:15] what kind of spec should I be looking at in a vps deployment [03:15] a 128 MB RAM NAT VPS is plenty for a VPN. [03:15] i guess small medium large extra large [03:15] cool [03:16] Final question [03:16] is wireguard still a wildcard [03:16] from there I shall RTFM :( [03:17] :) [03:17] does any flavor of the ubuntu fit best [03:18] or is equal footing [03:19] cluelessperson_: in general, they're about saving power by slowing down the processor -- always, never, when needed, etc. See https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/l-cpufreq-1/ [03:22] thanks for everythint [03:23] be well and stay safe [03:43] deltab, okay, but what are these specific policy objects? [03:43] deltab, `/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0` [03:47] isn't that described in Part 2? === mrkotfw_ is now known as mrkotfw [06:10] Hi #ubuntu, I have 3 IP addresses in same network and there is only 1 network interface, is there a way to keep 1st ip active for some time and then 2nd ip, and after sometime 3rd IP [06:20] r15: maybe more a question for ##networking ? [06:27] lotuspsychje: yes it's networking ne [06:29] some idea/clue?

Should I install the driver if the wifi is already working? Will the proprietary driver perform differently/better? [08:15] hello [08:15] i need some help [08:15] i accidentally deleted all the content of my .bashrc file [08:15] it now only contains the PATH [08:17] can i get the content back somehow [08:17] i had some variables exported from there [08:18] i had a backup file of bashrc so i could get it back to default state [08:18] if you don't have a backup of the file with the variables you're missing, there's very little chance of getting it back [08:19] i accidentally overwrite it with echo export PATH=$PATH:/path [08:20] echo export PATH=$PATH:"random path" > ~/.bashrc [08:20] i used this command and it become colourless and thats when i realized that something's wrong [08:21] isnt there any way i can get it back? [08:21] No, that's what backups are for [08:21] you can get the default .bashrc from /etc/skel/.bashrc, but all your customizations are gone forever [08:22] bad luck for me then [08:22] cuz i deleted my backup folder accidentally while cleaning my drive two days ago [08:22] ouch [08:22] and i forgot to backup after that [08:23] sumagna, if you are on 18.04, my path is : echo $PATH >>> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin [08:23] i overwrote it while appending the path to the bashrc file [08:24] my bashrc https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/nWgxfVh9v8/ [08:24] :-) [08:27] thanks for the tb alias [08:27] i forgot that i had it [08:28] i also remember having pythonpath for modules although i didnt need the module i intended making the variable for [08:28] Better to adjust PATH in .profile though, that way it will be available to the x session as well, not just bash [08:29] xsession?

[11:51] when there was the amazon addware, i used ubuntu server but i want to use ubuntu without a desktop enviroment [11:52] im pretty sure ubuntu is awsome as a mainframe [11:52] i just have to plan the hardware [11:52] any ideas where i can get ubuntu certfied hardware? i havent used ubuntu for a long time [11:52] !hardware | monkwitdafunk [11:52] monkwitdafunk: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [11:53] thaNK you lotuspsychje [11:54] the reason why i dont want to use ubuntu desktop is because im scared the root can be compromised if the desktop enviroment gets hacked [11:55] what [11:56] lets say a box appears to type in the root passwd [11:56] unless i download the repository and never use the root after [11:56] ???

[12:46] good virtual keyboard to use on ubuntu? [12:51] wr: You'll probably do better asking for opinions somewhere like ##linux [12:55] Hi, I've been trying to talk a new user through their Bionic install, and they keep failing to install GRUB because Ubiquity will not let them set the mount point of the EFI partition. What is going on there? Here's their picture of the partition table https://i.imgur.com/KdGTvAy.jpg [12:57] wr "onboard". [12:57] When they click on Change for /dev/sda1, the input field for Mount Point is grayed out when "EFI system partition" is selected [12:59] Kon any issue with choosing /dev/sda [13:00] jeremy31: They accidentally chose /dev/sda the first time and could not boot to Ubuntu. /dev/sda would be the correct location for legacy GRUB,not grub-efi [13:02] grub-efi must be installed onto the EFI system partition and mounted at /boot/efi [13:02] But as I said, Ubiquity will not allow them to change the mount point once "EFI system partition" is chosen as the partition type! [13:03] It looks like windows might be installed, was the EFI partition added? [13:03] The EFI system partition already existed before the Ubuntu installation [13:05] Kon is it a newer HP? [13:06] Dell [13:08] Kon might need to search on the model number and see if it has issues. I had to change the OS boot loader setting in my HP to get it working [13:09] jeremy31: What do you mean "the OS boot loader setting?" [13:09] Are you talking about Secure Boot? [13:10] I'm using ubuntu 18.04. I'm using systemd. How should I start a service that only comes with a /etc/init.d/somename file? [13:15] Aleric: Ideally you see if the program already has a package in the Ubuntu software repository. Those will already been converted and designed to work with Ubuntu. If the package doesn't exist, you can create your own start up file for systemd [13:15] is there an eta for 20.04 RC1? [13:16] iconoclasthero: Questions about Ubuntu 20.04 need to be asked in the #ubuntu+1 channel please [13:16] pragmaticenigma: this is a ubuntu package (deluged) [13:16] It is not converted and designed to work with ubuntu? [13:16] i am 18.04 and i am facing this problem of my shell theme reverting to default frequently, it happens sometimes after i login logout , or specifically at some time. Any help to troubleshoot this ? [13:17] https://gyazo.com/83a21222e07c9e9d8724c1ed0c8b7a7a [13:24] "service deluged start" maybe? [13:25] akem: that would work if it was a systemd service, which it isn't [13:25] Kon it is a setting in my HP BIOS, I had to change it from windows boot loader to ubuntu and save or it would just boot windows [13:26] pragmaticenigma, Ok. [13:26] Ahh, you had both installed side by side [13:27] Aleric: This article appears to be comprehensive in getting deluge setup to work with systemd: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html [13:30] pragmaticenigma: I found that (on simular websites) too. The bottom line is that ubuntu's 'deluged' package is heavily broken and does not and can not work out-of-the-box. [13:31] I was asking here because I find that strange. I even found bug reports for this that nobody ever reacted to or fixed, it seems. [13:32] Most notably, by default (out of the box) deluged runs as the user 'debian-deluged', but deluge-web is broken when the user name includes a '-' and will not connect to the deluged. [13:33] That is why websites that explain how to install deluged on ubuntu all tell you to create a user 'deluge' and chown -R directories that were installed by apt. [13:34] Aleric: It's a universe package, which means it is maintained by the community. I don't know how the deluge packages are added there, if someone is simply taking them from the deluge dev group, or if someone taking the time to actually implement it specific to Ubuntu. [13:36] The Deluge team encourage people to install from the PPA... The volunteers here discourage PPAs because some PPA maintainers have been known to add Ubuntu core packages and then update those packages, breaking Ubuntu installations. Unfortunately, the best that I can do here is point you in the direction of that article [13:36] ok [13:37] This clears up enough for me to explain the brokeness and I'll just take the manual steps to make it work. Thanks. [13:52] Howdy folks -- best IRC client for Ubuntu-Gnome? [13:55] soon: For recommendations, polls, and to ask others opinions about software, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [13:59] pragmaticenigma: thanks -- I'll head over there === ace_me1 is now known as ace_me === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [14:23] have a ubuntu 18.04 that when i type on keyboard remotely it starts opening applications, when i write on terminal it goofs up text too, what could check? [14:24] not sure it if it is the virtual keyboard florence [14:26] wr: what do you mean by remotely? [14:26] pragmaticenigma, was acessing the ubuntu via teamviewer [14:29] where is "florence" running? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [14:33] hello everyone, i'd love to ask about do-release-upgrade [14:34] it has a "good" idea to kick away my graphics card driver [14:34] https://paste.centos.org/view/cb5e4560 [14:34] what should i do, if i want to boot like a normal person again? [14:36] hexo: do-release-upgrade removes packages first so that it can install the updated versions next. What you should do before all of this is back up your machine, just in case the process does do something wrong, you can restore your backup [14:37] i dont have time and place for that [14:37] and the process was already launched [14:37] packages are already updated [14:37] now it wants to delete "old" stuff [14:37] hexo: correct [14:38] so, if i press Y now, it will delete these, and install new driver, yes? [14:48] hi everyone, I tried to create a live Ubuntu USB with Etcher but apparently the available system space is just a few MB. The pendrive is a 64GB one [14:48] how to extend filesystem space to the whole usb drive? thank you [14:52] anelito, could try using gparted to extend the partition [14:52] can I use dd utility instead? === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [14:53] probably a bad idea to run any os from a usb stick for long [14:53] might be able to use dd. ask in ##linux [14:54] Hi, I'm trying to open a port on amazon EC2 ubuntu 18.04. [14:54] I've edited the security group, required from amazon's side. [14:54] I can't figure out how to open the port in linux. [14:54] I've tried iptables, but it doesn't work. [14:56] ufw is not enabled, service iptables does not exist, firewalld does not exist [14:56] sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT [14:56] is there a service listening to the port? [14:56] sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT [14:56] No. [14:57] I'm writing a client/server program in python and I need to comunicate on that port [14:58] *should* there be a service listening to the port? [14:58] I've tried netcat and my attempts are denied. [14:59] netcat: connect to iphere port 8080 (tcp) failed: Connection refused [15:09] pragmaticenigma: find /lib | grep nvidia [15:10] pragmaticenigma: nothing comes up, so it really just deleted my drivers === MassDebates_ is now known as MassDebates [15:10] and basically left me unable to boot if i reboot this now??? [15:11] hexo: that's why I recommend backing up before running do-release-upgrade [15:11] how would that help me? :D [15:12] with nvidia driver [15:12] :( [15:12] if your machine didn't come back up after you reboot, you'd be able to restore the backup from the point before you started the update... and either try again or do more research on how to avoid the problem. [15:12] reasearch is what i do now [15:13] backup wouldn't help [15:13] not if you hadn't done it prior to the upgrade [15:13] seems like no-one knows how to avoid the problem [15:13] i did [15:14] do-release-upgrade told me it would delete 4 packages during proces [15:14] Hi, does anybody have experiences about the compatibility of the AMD X570 chipset and the included RAID controller? [15:14] then BAM it was 100 [15:14] so what research when even updater lies [15:14] :D [15:14] hexo: I have performed plenty of upgrades with do-release-upgrade. I have not had my machine not come back up afterwards. What has happened is I had to install a few things afterwards. [15:15] so, what happens when i reboot it now? [15:15] hexo: do-release-upgrade does remove anything that was installed via PPAs, as it has to remove those PPAs to do the upgrade. This is to avoid package conflicts [15:15] i don't have any PPAs [15:15] do I? [15:15] hexo: Reboot and find out. you're already passed the point of no return [15:16] so basically no one knows? [15:16] no nvidia driver users around? [15:17]
