[00:00] I tried to reinstall Nvidia from terminal it didn't fix the problem. [00:04] hi. I know this might sound silly, but I have a program that uses a binary to update it's own packages. but somehow, it's failing due to a Checksum error. is there any arguments that we can pass in the command line to make said update binary to ignore checksum errors? [00:08] Hi, I picked x org server something in additional driver and restarted hoping to disable Nvidia. But next time I logged in keyboard and mouse both won't work. Can anybody help? === umask078 is now known as umask077 [00:24] Kristine6: Able to boot to a terminal ? [00:24] Yes, right [00:25] Kristine6: Great - and what is your present end goal ?

[00:29] I'm in terminal in my laptop, so no browser. I'll type summary here from phone [00:30] Kristine6: Ouch - this is going to be trying :( [00:30] Ik what can I do? [00:31] Kristine6: run ' sudo lshw -C display | nc termbin.com 9999 ' the result is a URL back in terminal, pass that link back here.

[00:36] Bashing-om I was following that website, I guess it removed Nvidia driver. [00:37] Kristine6: I would expext to see in that ^ event "unkown" rather than no output at all. lspci should shed a bit more light on the situation. [00:38] Bashing-om http://termbin.com/qs47 [00:40] Kristine6: :) .. what release is this ? makes a difference where the Nvidia config files reside. [00:41] Bashing-om ubuntu 18.04 lts I think [00:41] so, there's nothing I can do about ignoring checksum errors? :/ [00:41] Kristine6: " I think" is not good enough - ' lsb_release -a ' will tell. [00:42] Bashing-om Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS bionic [00:44] Kristine6: :) .. ' cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . See here if we have old config files to remove.

[00:46] Bashing-om http://termbin.com/1op3p [00:48] Kristine6: try ' sudo apt remove --purge nvidia* '. then see if 11-nvidia-prime.conf remains. [00:50] Interesting, it's still there [00:52] Kristine6: Not real surprised - lets remove it explicitly ' sudo rm /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-nvidia-prime.conf ' . Have you attempted an OEM nvidia driver install ? as be proceed on our merry way :) [00:52] Bashing-om I don't think I have [00:53] Kristine6: secure boot on this machine a factor ? [00:54] Bashing-om ok just deleted it. I don't understand, what do you mean? 😁 [00:57] Kristine6: Late machines that are EFI endowed have secure boot enabled - as the Nvidia driver is 3rd party with secure boot the driver will not build, IF this machine is later vintage need to make sure that secure boot is disabled. [00:58] Bashing-om ok, as long as it's safe. It's not going to make my machine vulnerable. [00:59] I think I see something about uefi when I boot. [00:59] Kristine6: once the driver is installed then re-enable secure boot . We know the driver is safe. [01:00] Bashing-om ok sounds good [01:01] Kristine6: Once secure boot is disabled we proceed. Advise when :) [01:03] Bashing-om any recommended way to do it? === billybigrigger9 is now known as billybigrigger [01:03] Kristine6: Oh Yeah - I do have a pan :P [01:03] plan* [01:04] Bashing-om is this good? sudo systemctl reboot --firmware-setup [01:05] I don't think I have done it before, just wanted to confirm [01:06] Kristine6: Got me - I have no access to your machine - every vendor does it differently, Acer is a real pain. [01:07] Kristine6: I would ecpect some way when booting to bring up the firmware interface ( old term bios) . from that interface disable "secure boot". [01:08] expect* [01:09] Bashing-om Ok lemme check bios and Google [01:11] Kristine6: Good :) when disabled we proceed . [01:19] Bashing-om I think I did. Going to Ubuntu terminal [01:23] Kristine6: Good deal - OK in terminal run ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . [01:26] Bashing-om ok done, no error. I see secure boot not enabled on this system in output === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:27] Kristine6: Great ! reboot and let's see the effect :D [01:28] Bashing-om ok rebooted, should I try loggin in from GUI? [01:29] Ah yes it worked, thanks a lot! [01:32] Bashing-om I see it selected recommended Nvidia in additional driver. So I guess system is using Nvidia right now [01:33] Just checked Nvidia x server settings too [01:33] Kristine6: Great ! Glad it worked out - you can re-enable Secure boot. [01:33] Great! Thanks, I'm doing it now [01:34] Kristine6: ' sudo lshw -C display ' now shows the nvidia card and loaded driver ? [01:35] Bashing-om it still shows same as before, Intel. I don't see anything about Nvidia [01:37] Kristine6: Strange - what shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? [01:38] However when I do prime-select query it shows Nvidia [01:38] Ok lemme check [01:39] Bashing-om yes it does [01:39] It shows libnvidia*, Nvidia*...... [01:40] Kristine6: Humm - as working I will not knock it - but would be nice if I understood why the Nvidia card is not reflected by lshw .

[02:24] edgimar, you can set it up so certain users can only use sudo to run certain commands instead of any command [02:25] now, to be fair, if you let someone run "sudo programx" and programx can run other untrusted arbitrary commands, they can break out of this.

Or if so, what commands would need to be allowed? [02:34] hmm I don't have the desktop version of ubuntu installed to see but probably /usr/sbin/ubuntu-software and maybe /usr/bin/apt would suffice?

[08:46] do-release-upgrade -d took me to 20.04 :/ [08:47] bluez_, the -d option means go to the development release [08:48] oh [08:48] so without -d it would have gone to 19.10? [08:48] bluez_: There's no direct way to upgrade from 18.04-19.10, you'd need to upgrade from 18.04 -> 18.10 -> 19.04 -> 19.10 [08:48] ok how do i do that? [08:48] I believe so (I've only used 18.04->18.10 (next release), but as it's EOL yes it's to 19.10 [08:50] bluez_, be aware; flavors esp. only test 18.04->18.10, main Ubuntu is supposed to go to latest possible release (thus 19.10); but it's been tested less than say 18.04->18.10 was [08:50] bluez_: I'm not sure whether you'd be able to do the upgrade to 18.10 now with it being end of line and no longer supported, if it was possible, you'd have to do 4 upgrades one after the other, it might be better to do a fresh install of 19.10 rather than risk 4 lots of upgrade issues [08:50] ok i guess i could stay on 18.04 on these servers for now [08:51] bluez_, 19.04 was tested to 19.10 more heavily too (ie. next release) [08:52] bluez_, I've been told Canonical did test 18.04 -> 19.10, but I'd assume with 'main' packages only [08:56] why do you not want to upgrade to 20.04?

There is a button mapping part. [12:37] it wasnt like that at first but something i installed decided to make the guide button do that and i just dont know where to look to find whatever is causing that [12:38] ive looked in jstest but i dont know how to see what each button does or what button the guide button is even mapped too...when i press the guide button in jstest the buttons on the right dont turn black [12:38] try the gtk version [12:38] yes thats the one i have [12:38] well there you can modify the button mappings the way you need it [12:39] ill take a closer look at it and try to figure it out...i couldnt figure out how to map the buttons when i looked before [12:40] ill try now and see if i can come up with anything [12:48] in jstest-gtk i think the guide button is 12 but it doesnt light up when i press it [12:48] all the other buttons light up [12:48] so something else is controlling it [12:48] DocMors ^ [12:50] theres gotta be a way to see that somewhere but for the life of me im too much of a noob to know [12:51] i bet it was xboxdrv [12:59] how would I place Console/Terminal history into a Text file please?

[13:18] they are showing as mounted as well [13:21] Hello [13:21] grayHogan, well if you need plex in that setup then perhaps ask the #plex chat...peronally I don't see the point of plex in that situation [13:21] I'm trying to switch to Kubuntu desktop, is it possible these days without much reconfiguration? [13:22] !kubuntu-desktop [13:22] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [13:22] The info I see says that sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop is enough, but are there any things? [13:22] BluesKaj, to allow friends/family to view them? [13:22] but yes- I'm on it, thanks! [13:23] BluesKaj: when upgrading what? [13:23] how can a bug stay opened12 years without being solved ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/257451 [13:23] Launchpad bug 257451 in vpnc (Ubuntu) "vpnc no response from target" [Undecided,Confirmed] [13:24] Atlenohen, when upgrading packages [13:24] Several guides tell me I have to reinstall aps I manually downloaded, or I have to backup and move their local profile data, is this still true? [13:24] Which packages? [13:25] hi. It was suggested by a developer that I seek help for this error: "$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo [13:25] error: Can't load uri https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo: TLS support is not available" [13:25] I've set up firefox and downloade like 1500MB worth of apps, and did some other non-desktop tweaks, I kinda wanted to avoid doing it all over again with a kubuntu reinstall. [13:25] Atlenohen, https://itsfoss.com/install-kde-on-ubuntu/ [13:25] this occurred on both ubuntu 18.04.4 and 20.04 [13:27] I guess the question I was looking for was, will all apps and configurations work when I switch to KDE? Will firefox still be configured ? [13:28] is there any good open source software to annotate pdfs? All I wanna do is draw rectangles over the important parts of the document but after trying many things couldn't find a good one, I'm using xournal but it doesn't have shapes just a line [13:28] Atlenohen, the short answe is yes, you can choose the DE at login [13:29] Okay will try then, should I get Plasma only or Full KDE, I don't actually care about gnome I want to use only KDE [13:29] I would like to uninstall gnome stuff [13:29] hi all! i was wondering if there is any way to download the ubuntu installer application onto a non-live ubuntu install? [13:30] !info inkscape | Xeteen [13:30] to get some space back [13:30] Xeteen: inkscape (source: inkscape): vector-based drawing program. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.92.4-4 (eoan), package size 14357 kB, installed size 78249 kB [13:31] i'm trying to install ubuntu onto an external hard drive from my ubuntu installation [13:32] xeteen: yes [13:32] try foxit [13:33] https://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-reader/ [13:34] lotuspsychje: does it keep the file in pdf format? [13:34] iconoclasthero: tried it but it's shareware [13:35] i'm using 2.4.4.0911 [13:38] BluesKaj: asks me for gdm3 or sddm [13:38] Is there a way to browse packages in the multiverse? [13:39] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1196008/how-can-i-change-to-kubuntu-from-ubuntu [13:39] Atlenohen, that's your choice to make [13:39] xeteen: https://i.imgur.com/cxQs77x.png [13:39] BluesKaj: I have no idea what that means, but seems like sddm is preferred by others [13:39] if you want the the kde login system then it sddm [13:39] That article also says there's duplicate stuff ... [13:40] if you don't remove the gnome stuff first [13:40] so yeah it's going to remove firefox, and then put Knonqueror on [13:40] This is bad, desktop environment should nothing to do with apps [13:41] lotuspsychje: inkscape can only do single page documents [13:42] iconoclasthero: will try it [13:43] iconoclasthero: thanks [13:43] FOXIT **READER** doesn't appear to have any restrictions. [13:43] the phantom version is a shareware [13:43] oh okay [13:43] installing it right now [13:44] also my wife wouldn't approve of 500pxdownload.jpg :P [13:45] i have an old install on 18.04 that probably was there since 16 or before. [13:45] i'm trying to download it on 20.04 but it is slow... [13:45] Atlenohen, you need to read more about KDE/Plasma DEs and it's packages vs Gnome DE and it's packages. Do some research please ! [13:49] you actually have to look hard for smut on 500px. [13:49] and that wasn't supposed to be in the screenshot anyway [13:49] i just installed foxit reader on 20.04 (needed to do that anyway, thanks) and it works fine: https://i.imgur.com/LkvY7FK.png [13:50] iconoclasthero: just tried it works like a charm, thanks [13:52] DocMors i found it. it was a keyboard shortcut. i removed it and the problem went away [13:53] thank you for helping point me in a new direction [13:53] iconoclasthero: https://i.imgur.com/HQo1mZL.png works wonderfully thanks man [13:55] well, while you're at it, check out shutter [13:55] if you need a decent screen-grab program [13:55] oh I have it [13:55] kk [13:56] the nice thing is that you can go up to screenshot -> export -> imgur/guest and upload it. [13:56] BluesKaj: Yeah sorry, thanks for the help, I'll never use Gnome so I'll just reinstall it, I didn't lose that much time as I installed it only yesterday. [13:58] iconoclasthero, what program supports that. shutter? [13:58] yes [13:58] how do I elevate to root for a moment so gdebi can install a package? [13:59] sudo [13:59] https://i.imgur.com/akEn0yL.png [13:59] right but what options [14:00] i had been shopping around for a screenshot program and that ended as soon as i found shutter about a year ago. [14:00] not too shabby indeed [14:01] you can set it up to actually post in your imgur account but you have to go throught the whole OAuth thing and it expires so it gets to be a big PITA. [14:01] but posting as guest is easy. [14:03] I tried to connect with ssh -Y to a gnome-shell. Gnome has not started and my pc froze. Now at startup neither my keyboard nor my mouse work. What should I do? [14:06] After logging in no peripheral works [14:07] Atlenohen, if you don't have any intention of using gnome then install Kubuntu [14:13] Okay everything works with Wayland but I don't understand why it doesn't with Xorg === real_walnut_burl is now known as pinocchio [14:24] hello, how i can get log from try connect to wi-fi, i have outlet router and i dont know why i cant connect on wi fi to him i need log from this operation [14:29] Halcyforn, not sure what you mean; but dmesg | grep and grep /var/log/syslog can give you some infos [14:30] Halcyforn, you get the name with 'ip a' [14:33] ok dmesg show me is auth problem. [14:33] wtf is wrong no passwords and cant connect [14:35] Halcyforn, if you use the desktop edition , then run 'nm-connection-editor' , select the interface and set ssid and password in the proper tab [14:36] ioaria there is no password, linux windows and 4 phones cant connect to wifi [14:36] ok time to downgrade router [14:37] Halcyforn, open the router page with firefox [14:40] hmm, nothing hange ioria, even router log dont show if you log in on router to change settings firmware is dead, [14:41] dmesg is enought to find error now [14:46] hi [14:47] one file opens with emacs but other one in my pen drive opens by default on ubunutu's text editor ?why, both files are in the same dir [14:48] how was default application decided ? [14:48] and how can i change it [14:50] akflcar, the easy way, is right click, properties > open with -> set as default [14:53] ioria: but on cli how [14:54] which file attributes were changed that ubuntu read them that the application wants to open with emacs or gedit [14:54] akflcar, emacs on cli ?
