[00:02] Elementary destroyed my computer. [00:04] Dammit, Image viewer, firefox, chrome and Darktable show that yellowish tint. Xsane and Gimp show a slightly colder tint. [00:04] why is that? [00:04] It's subtle, but it's there [00:05] woenx I feel for you. My Pixel 3A makes white areas warmer and I think that's unacceptable. Try telling that to the Filipinos who work for Google [00:06] I mean, I just spent money in a hardware calibrator for my screen [00:06] because I have to scan a bunch of picture albums (hey, I gotta keep busy during the confinement), and I want the color to be somewhat accurate [00:07] but it doesn't make any sense that different programs interpet the picture with slightly different colors [00:11] hi everyone as ur all helpful and friendly id like to ask the best place to ask, what channel would be the best place to ask for help re using dd for backup of a friends windows drive [00:11] im planning on using dd or clonezilla [00:12] ie what channel by name please [00:12] conjo: #windows comes to mind. [00:13] but they are not linux users and i will be using linux to do it [00:13] they will be stumped from point a i would imagine [00:15] as soon as i mention dd-they will be like whats start saying download this on windows (i dont run windows and im trying to save a drive; back it up clone then re flash to new drive) [00:16] but the drive to be cloned wont boot [00:16] just want a bup before i attempt the repair manipulation [00:17] lol ill try them now [00:31] conjo, try ##linux [00:43] I have been banned from linux from months, and I really dont have a clue [00:43] never spammed anyone [00:45] fred1807: Sat 25 00:44:03 [freenode] -!- 0 - ##linux: ban *!uid*@*irccloud* [by moon.freenode.net, 10987942 secs ago] [00:45] fred1807: looks like they don't want irccloud users [00:45] i think they do not accept irccloud guests [00:45] ah [00:46] oh really? what is going on wirh irccloud? [00:46] too easy to bypass to spam, scriptkiddies. [00:46] Any NFS experts online? When I mount a remote NFS share all the subfolders get d--------- permissions, i.e they're unreadable.. [00:46] anyway, not ubuntu support related [00:46] try #freenode [00:48] Slartibart: checkout rootsquash. [00:48] That is, find the arch-wiki on nfs, and look at the rootsquash section. :) [00:48] :) [00:49] In case anyone is interested, this is how different software in ubuntu display colors: [00:49] https://i.imgur.com/p00f8CV.png [00:49] Ah. Nice :). Thanks, will do. [00:53] Hi! I keep getting messages in Chromium to update flash plugin. And, myriad OS notifications to restart Chromium as it has been updated. === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [01:00] tomreyn do you mean log GUI? I'm trying to find log related to hdmi monitor, didn't find any yet. === BrianG61UK_ is now known as BrianG61UK [01:05] DumbLDoor: if you're using the snap version it's probably some funky issue with snapd [01:05] @thete: looks like it. [01:06] @there: does chromium come with its own flash plugin? [01:06] there was pepperflash-plugin-nonfree but I don't know if that works anymore [01:07] my display issues seem to be related to custom gnome stuff so I'm probably gonna end up dumping snapd altogether [01:07] sick of it [01:08] DumbLDoor: I gave up using chrome on ubuntu and have been using firefox since it works [01:08] I wonder if the deb package is still maintained.. looking [01:09] @Thete: Last time this helped me, I think, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1141108/flash-with-chromium-or-google-chrome-broken-on-ubuntu-19-04 [01:09] Thete, why me? [01:09] I just installed it after downloading the file on the google website... seems to work fine [01:09] can I upgrade from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS? [01:10] I have a Google Drive account which I want to use for backups. Is there any tool other than Deja-Dup to do a backup? [01:11] 2nd thoughts.. no, another link perhaps [01:11] I want to support different scenario, some folders I want to backup regularly, some less often. some folder encrypted and many not encrpyted [01:11] !ltsupgrade | Betal [01:11] Betal: Regular upgrades from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS will be enabled once 20.04.1 is released in late July. This delay helps to ensure that any lingering issues are resolved before people upgrade production systems. If you'd prefer to upgrade now, use sudo do-release-upgrade -d [01:14] Bashing-om: after the do-release-upgrade -d, do I need to change some repository? [01:16] you may need to reenable third-party repositories if you have any configured, once they support focal [01:17] Betal: No the manager will take care . just make sure /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades >> Prompt=lts, and the system is fully updated - graphics driver reverted to defaults. === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === tds0 is now known as tds [01:34] My system does not update time zones automatically even though I have location services enabled. gnome-clocks shows the correct time and location, but my system is still set to the previous time zone. Does anyone know why there is this discrepancy? I can manually set the time zone by disabling automatic time zone, but that kind of defeats the [01:34] point of having that setting. [01:34] I am using 18.04 [01:35] nickware: Dual booting Windows where Windows controls hardware clock ? [01:36] if the gnome clock is showing the correct time, what is showing the incorrect time? [01:36] mindofmateo: ^^ sorry nickware for that bad hilight :( [01:37] Oh, I am not dual booting. [01:37] The status bar, `date`, everything else other than gnome-clocks. [01:38] What I mean is, if I Google "where am I" or even use geoclue-2.0, it shows information that's correct enough, so IDK why it won't switch automatically. To be clear, the "time" is correct, it's just that the time zone is set incorrectly and does not update automatically. [01:39] mindofmateo: What id you do "su - mindofmateo" then "date"? [01:41] Jordan_U the same date [01:41] date output* [01:45] heyho from germany [01:45] huhu [01:46] wenn ich die Hintergrundfarbe des Panels unter MATE fürs Dock ändere, wird nach einem reboot das andere Panel in die gleiche Farbe gesetzt. Dabei möchte ich nur ein Paneö in dieser Farbe [01:46] Hat jemand eine Idee?

Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [01:47] Smaragd98: if no one here knows, try #ubuntu-mate also [01:47] thx [01:47] is existing a DE channel for mate? [01:48] Question@Kernel versions: Do I understand it right, that a low latency kernel runs faster, but uses more energy? [01:48] Smaragd98: probably not [01:49] DarkTrick: it depends what you mean by "faster" [01:49] DarkTrick: you'll get lower latency but likely also lower throughput for certain operations [01:49] sarnold, programs react faster. Operations finish faster [01:50] i use low latency kernel for hearing hi-res music [01:50] mindofmateo, timedatectl list-timezones & sudo timedatectl set-timezone your_time_zone & timedatectl to verify changes [01:51] Does it make any differences for *Listening* to music? [01:51] DarkTrick: Low latency can also trade off throughput for latency. So if you're running a long computation, it may run slower on a low latency kernel. [01:51] When installed ubuntu, secure boot should be disabled right ? [01:51] it depends on how the music is generated; for audio playback from file, probably not; for generated music via jack plugins etc, maybe [01:51] devslash: secure boot works fine; it does enable lockdown LSM though [01:51] devslash: Ubuntu works fine with secure boot. [01:51] Bashing-om: I did some weird thing, that what I did, https://bpaste.net/raw/FSMA , there is some procedure I can do to fix it now?, should I roll back the old packages from cache, or can I follow the do-release-upgrade -d, regenerate source.list and try to upgrade again? [01:51] Err installing [01:52] I had an issue on another computer where or doesnt load nvidia drivers when Secure boot is enabled that's why I'm asking [01:52] Betal: looking ^ . [01:52] do u try install dualboot @devslash ? [01:52] No [01:52] ok [01:52] Just ubuntu [01:52] Hm... so, as the website says, generic is indeed probably the best choice... [01:52] Thank you! [01:52] With 16gb ram do I need more than 2 gb swap? [01:53] devslash: even one gig is fine [01:53] no [01:53] devslash: you probably dont even need a swap... if you make one 2gb is a good choice though [01:53] you don't need any swap with 16 gb [01:53] Betal: Nope "modifyed bionic to focal on /etc/apt/source.list" I have no gnome DE experience to know how to adress. [01:53] devslash: Do you ever plan to use suspend to disk? [01:54] No it's a server [01:54] @Thete;' Chrome works but chromium keeps complaining about older flash plugin, i have to choose "run this time" to get it going. [01:54] So it will never be suspended maybe reboot or turned off but never suspended [01:55] Bashing-om: yea, I know the source.list move wasn't so cool, but what I should do now to "fix" the sources.list and get the correct packages? [01:55] devslash: no swap :) [01:55] clear [01:55] sometimes I need open windows for a short time until they are open again ./ [01:56] So it automatically created / as ext4 as partition 1 and 512mb efi on partition 2 [01:56] Err sorry that's reversed [01:56] Efi is 1st [01:57] zvrk I did that and the time zone is correct now [01:57] Mounted as /boot/efi [01:57] but IDK how to make automatic tz update work [01:57] Betal: There is no go-back button. Will have to work with what you now have - what shows ' cat /etc/issue ' ? [01:57] Betal: I would strongly recommend just re-installing at this point. You can even re-install while keeping /home/ (even if it's not on a separate partition). [01:57] i newly install ubuntu 20.04 lts in my machine and my machine screen flashing after i log out my user account , why is happening and please give a right solution to resolve my problem [01:57] Jordan_U is that good? [01:58] is it normal that the window that is already open sometimes takes a little longer to maximize? [01:58] mindofmateo, ok :) [01:58] Qwerty saying please give me a right solution like that is kinda rude and probably makes people not want to help you [01:58] I use timedatectl set-ntp true @devslash [01:58] Smaragd98: how long? [01:59] I newly install ubuntu 20.04 lts in my machine and my machine screen flashing after i log out my user account , why is happening and please give a right solution to resolve my problem , please help me out [01:59] devslash: You going without swap? Sure. Really, it depends entirely on what your server is being used for. But most likely, not having swap will be fine, maybe have a slight advantage (OOM conditions will be reached faster, so the OOM killer will "fix" the problem faster). [01:59] not longer than 1 second, maybe a half, a litte bit slower than normal [01:59] Smaragd98: ow, that is slow [02:00] Bashing-om: issue = "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS \n \l" [02:00] that only happens sometimes @sarnold [02:00] so sorry for that but i need a help brother [02:00] Bashing-om: that is the idea, fix the source.list and enforce a update or downgrade, I don't think a reinstall is need, not yet [02:00] who do you men qwerty? [02:01] Smaragd98: can you run 'vmstat 1' in a terminal, and watch the 'si' and 'so' columns when you do this? [02:01] my screen is flashing after the logout [02:01] qwerty: Is your install configured to log in automatically? [02:01] no [02:02] i use username and password to log in [02:02] qwerty: Try not to repeat your question so often. I was working on a reply while you asked again. I'd say no more than 1 repeat of your question every 5 minutes. Maybe less often if there haven't been many messages from other users in that time. [02:02] sarnold: yes, every new line takes ca. one second [02:02] its a fresh install of ubuntu mate 20.04 [02:03] and after that when ever i use to logout then again several times it flashing all the time [02:03] bit this happens with every distro: arch linux, ubuntu, debian [02:03] What the heck. It installed in like a minute [02:03] Smaragd98: that's normal, they should come every second.. [02:03] sarnold: ok, great [02:03] qwerty: Do you have another computer that you can talk to use with, so that we can talk you through trying things while the screen is flashing? [02:03] sarnold: maybe its a problem with the desktop-environment [02:03] Damn.... [02:03] Smaragd98: the 'si' and 'so' columns show you when your computer needs to use swap -- it should almost always be zero [02:04] Smaragd98: your description sounded a little bit like something I've seen on computers that don't have enough memory -- a momentary pause to read something from disk, then they can act [02:04] yes i,ve another computer [02:04] Betal: We can try :( ... Pastebin ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg -C ' . Make sure here that the package manager is in a consistent state. [02:04] sarnold: i have 8gb of ddr3 ram in here [02:05] Smaragd98: what is in the 'swpd' column? [02:05] hmm, you know, I've never tried this tool in german.. [02:05] sarnold: and a samsung ssd on a 6 gb/s SATA port [02:06] why is this issue occur btw ? [02:06] sarnold: 0 all time [02:06] Bashing-om: what exactly this does? after the do-release-upgrade -d, when I run sudo apt update/upgrade, I do see a ton of packages [02:06] is my machine not compatible with ubuntu 20.04 [02:07] Bashing-om: what I should have on sources.list at this moment? focal repositories? [02:07] Bashing-om: or do-release-upgrade -d fix sources.list [02:07] Smaragd98: aha, then my theory isn't useful. :) that's good and bad... [02:07] qwerty: We don't know yet. We'll try to figure it out. Can you log out of the machine that has flashing, then try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 after it starts flashing? If ctrl+alt+F1 doesn't do anything, try ctrl+alt+F2 . [02:08] sarnold: are u from germany? [02:08] ok i will try [02:08] Smaragd98: no; but I worked for suse for two years, and love to visit germany :) [02:08] Betal: I guess that the upgrade manager is handeling things that apt would not. [02:08] sometimes it tooks a little moment to open windows or type in hexchat :/ [02:09] qwerty: Hopefully it will bring you to a text only tty. If it does, we can log you in there and run useful commands to find more info. [02:09] cpu must be solid for linux; 4x 2,0 GhZ [02:10] Jordan_U nothing happpen its again flashing screen now ? [02:10] sarnold: but i think i have that too under windows, despite less cpu and ram load - maybe the processor sometimes can't keep up [02:10] Smaragd98: hmmmmmmm [02:10] Bashing-om: ok, ill left focal on sources.list, remove ppas and try to upgrade [02:11] Betal: Presently we want to know that the package manager is consistent. [02:12] the ssd is new but i want to check it now with smartools sarnold [02:13] Smaragd98: can you pastebin the output of grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy*/*scaling* ? [02:13] Bashing-om: so I should run your full 4 commands? [02:14] qwerty: Does ctrl+alt+del trigger a reboot? If you press the caps lock key on your keyboard does the caps lock light change? [02:14] Bashing-om: I think I did not understood your 4 commands, I should paste the update/upgrade, thats it? [02:15] Betal: I am lazy - I do not type for nothing. If I do not know that the package manager is consistent I can not help you. [02:15] aww :( [02:16] Jordan_U i,ve only option left, press hard poweroff the machine, that 's makes any sense . [02:16] qwerty: One moment before you do. [02:16] Bashing-om: you mean this? ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt -f install ; sudo dpkg -C ' [02:17] yes i had done it , so far no result Jordan_U [02:17] Betal: Yes - pastebin those results so I see what the state of the manager is and what we might have to do. [02:18] Jordan_U is my intel graphic driver issue , what do you think ? [02:19] qwerty: Try holding alt+sysrq+r then alt+sysrq+e, then the same with i s u b . Sysrq is generally the printscreen key. [02:19] qwerty: When you get to 'b' your computer should reboot. [02:20] Bashing-om: https://bpaste.net/raw/FJJQ [02:20] Betal: looking . [02:21] is 20.04 stable? [02:22] Betal: Ouch! System not fully updated when the sources list changed ? try ' sudo apt full-upgrade [02:22] '. [02:22] Jordan_U Intel skylake GT2 HD graphic 520 [02:23] qwerty: Did you understand my message about sysrq [02:23] I'm on ubuntu 20.04. I was having sound issues on my Scarlett 18i6 sound interface. It turns out some stuff was muted. I got to unmute the right channel using ALSA via the terminal. I installed alsamixer gui, but I don't get anything that represents my interface. Is there another gui I can use to unmute channels? [02:23] Bashing-om: this will take some time, about 1GB, can I confirm? [02:24] The alsamixer gui that I downloaded only shows card:PulseAudio, chip:Pulse audio. It doesn't show my sound interface. [02:24] Betal: "479 not upgraded." - depending on your net speed . [02:24] Jordan_U yeah i understand , bit what is whole point , i try so far , result is no [02:24] Thete: lolz!! simple fix, done! https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html.en [02:26] qwerty: The alt+sysrq+REISUB didn't cause your machine to reboot? [02:26] oh nice [02:28] Jordan_U yeah , my machine is rebooted somehow i don't your short keys work [02:29] so far 20.04lts looks beautiful :) [02:30] Jordan_U what's next brother ????? [02:31] qwerty: Please pastebin the output of "journalctl -b -1". Also, please be patient. Nagging me will not get me to reply sooner. [02:32] dr`venom, try 'pavucontrol' [02:32] ok, i'll give that a try [02:40] this makes no sense to me, why does xrandr and mutter fractional scaling work on 19.10 but not on 20.04? [02:41] I must be missing some kind of custom patch or something [02:42] when these returns https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes#Desktop [02:44] What prefix should I use to install a 32bit library ? For a 64 bit library, I'd install to /usr/local [02:51] johnflux: Also /usr/local. What library are you installing? [02:53] Jordan_U: libwebsockets, but the details don't matter. I don't really want to mix up my 64 and 32 bit libraries [02:54] Say I want to install both the 64bit and 32 bit version of the library [03:02] pavucontrol doesn't show all the channels ins and outs the way alsa mixer shows them in other distros. I wonder why alsa mixer in the terminal shows all the channels, but the alsa mixer gui does not. === skookum8 is now known as skookum [03:11] dr`venom: pavucontrol is re: pulse audio [03:11] Hello [03:12] I have an old machine with GeForce 7000 series card, and I'm trying to install Nvidia 304 drivers on it. I keep running into a modprobe issue which is a bit over my head. [03:12] Bashing-om: now everything looks ok, I think it worked, thanks :D [03:12] PPA no longer has 304 drivers [03:13] Betal: Wow :D ,, ' sudo dpkg -C ' returns to a prompt only ? [03:14] Bashing-om: yes [03:14] linuxpleb2: isn't worth to use nouveau in this case? [03:14] Betal: We do indeed do good work :P [03:15] Betal, I get a scrambled screen with Nouveau [03:15] linuxpleb2: see: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3142/~/support-timeframes-for-unix-legacy-gpu-releases , support ebeded several years back. [03:15] Bashing-om: yeah, I know we don't need a reinstall for most mistakes :P, linux ftw [03:16] Bashing-om, noted, but what can I do if I get a scrambled screen with Nouveau? [03:18] I am donating this machine to someone who needs a computer and I am just trying to get basic functionality here. [03:18] older nvidia drivers are not going to works on new xorg versions [03:18] linuxpleb2: Might take a look at Xorg's log - see if there is a issue reported - what release ? As last to support the 304 driver was 16.04. [03:21] I am running 20.04 [03:21] should I just try and install an old release? [03:22] Honestly, as the Nick suggests, this is all a bit beyond my knowledge levell === Eickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer[q] [03:26] linuxpleb2: you "can" downgrade xorg, but I would try nouveau first and see if I can get it to work [03:26] linuxpleb2: Not so fast - let's do look and see *IF* 20.04's nouvea driver works. does this file exist ' .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log ' exist ? [03:27] Bashing-om, /var/log/Xorg.0.log exists [03:27] is there a wiki page that explain how to read the package naming? "1:7.7+19ubuntu14" [03:28] https://pastebin.com/mvCAHrpj [03:30] kinghat: Surprise at the reversion location but OK,. pastebin command ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 '. The result is a URL back in terminal - pass that link back here. [03:33] https://termbin.com/1rj3 [03:34] linuxpleb2: reading - I be awhile :D [03:34] 🤨 [03:34] when crying after deleting someones homefolder :( [03:34] Bashing-om, I think its important that I mention I am currently on a different machine for speed reasons. I'll swap the hdd back over once I get the driver installed [03:34] my current machine has a gtx 1070 [03:35] I can't really work on the other machine due to image scrambling [03:38] hi. whats the difference between using apt-get and just apt? For example, now-a-days I'm seeing suggestions to install stuff like 'sudo apt install foo' instead of 'sudo apt-get install foo' [03:39] linuxpleb2: As is now " (EE) [drm] Failed to open DRM device for pci:0000:01:00.0: -19" : What results in the original sustem booting only to a terminal ? [03:40] tf2ftw, none [03:40] tf2ftw: Just that apt-get is being depreciated in favor of apt - see: https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/ . [03:41] johnflux: Then /usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ (to match how Ubuntu packages libwebsockets8:i386). [03:41] tf2ftw, ive seen that too and only use apt updatge apt install and so on [03:41] Bashing-om, I am unsure [03:41] I just installed this [03:41] Bashing-om, devslash - interesting. thanks [03:42] I have done nothing but blacklist Nouveau and attemp to compile 304 nvidia drivers [03:42] they wont compile [03:42] linuxpleb2: I am confused - "I'll swap the hdd back over" --we do want to work with the drive in the problematic hardware. [03:42] linuxpleb2: Did you try the restricted-drivers utility first? [03:43] Jordan_U, I did not. [03:43] Bashing-om, I can barely make out what is on screen on the problematic machine [03:44] If 20.04 LTS is realeased, then why is do-release-upgrade still telling me "There is no development version of an LTS available?" [03:44] so, for speed and usability i am using my other machine once I get the legacy drivers working [03:44] linuxpleb2: How do you know that the 304 version driver is the compatible driver ? [03:44] CrtxReavr: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently? [03:44] Bashing-om, https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/123709 [03:45] 18.04.4 LTS [03:45] 7800 gt [03:46] CrtxReavr: What is the exact command you ran? [03:46] linuxpleb2: ^^ good 'nuf for me, And as you know there is no longer support for that driver - unless you want to use the 16.04 Operating system release. [03:47] Bashing-om, because this machine will be donated to someone who just needs internet and basic word precessing, I am not really worried. [03:48] Jordan_U, https://bpaste.net/YLNA [03:48] If I have to install via an old 16.04 iso, that's fine [03:48] linuxpleb2: understand - but need to get the nouvea driver working on the install. [03:49] CrtxReavr: That's because upgrades from LTS to LTS aren't enabled until after .1, so 20.04.1 . [03:49] linuxpleb2: We can hope that 20.04 nouvea driver still works for that old card - maybe. [03:49] Bashing-om, Ok, understood, What can we do to move forward and try it? [03:50] Spiffy. [03:51] linuxpleb2: install that drive back in the problematic machine - boot to TTY from the login screen (Key combo ctl+alt+F2) and there see what the driver interface to the kernel looks like. [03:52] ok [03:52] I'll have to shut this one down to do that [03:53] I guess I could connect on IRC via my phone [03:54] linuxpleb2: My getting off time - some one else here pick this up - else I be back here tomorrow evening. [03:56] Bashing-om, OK well, once I boot to TTY, I am lost. [03:56] Goodbye and thank you for your help [03:56] linuxpleb2: Can you give a short summary of your circumstances? [03:58] Jordan_U, I have an old machine with a GeForce 7800 GT. When I boot, I get scrambled imagery, so I am guessing it's a driver issue. I tried to blacklist the nouveau driver and install legacy 304 nvidia drivers via *.run file and they fail to compile. [03:59] linuxpleb2: Did you only recently install Ubuntu on this machine? [03:59] Jordan_U, I currently have the HDD booted on a different machine because I need to be able to see what I am doing and because it's faster. [03:59] linuxpleb2: linuxpleb2 Jordan_U Good hunting :D laters . [04:00] Jordan_U, Yes, I installed it today. It is a completely fresh install other the the mucking around with drivers I have done. [04:00] Bashing-om, thanks again! [04:00] linuxpleb2: Did the LiveUSB work? What release and flavor of Ubuntu? [04:01] after a fresh install of 20.04 desktop the software store won't load. it's just snap right? snap-store not the right bin? [04:01] Jordan_U, I burned an ISO of 20.04 LTS and boot from the disk. It looked scrambled on the problem machine, so I installed from the machine I am on now. [04:03] Jordan_U, I think it's a driver issue, because I had Sabayon 4.2 and windows XP running fine on the very same machine yesterday. [04:04] linuxpleb2: Does the machine have integrated graphics? Can you remove the nvidia card and use it instead? [04:05] Jordan_U, it does, I have tried using both the card and integrated graphics, both of which are nvidia. I get scrambling with both, albeit a little different. [04:06] linuxpleb2: Can you post a picture of the scrambling? [04:07] I can't, because I have to shut this machine down to start the other. I only have one power cord. I mean, I guess I could, but it would take awhile [04:07] linuxpleb2: No phone or other device option? [04:08] I could connect to IRC on my phone. Let me try. BRB. [04:13] Jordan_U, Ok, back. On the phone now [04:15] linuxpleb2: Please post a picture to https://imgur.com/ and share the link here. [04:16] Jordan_U, working on it. give me a bit [04:16] i downloaded Waterfox browser but i dont know how to make it run! please help. I set waterfox file as an executable application but when i try to open it i get an error message https://ibb.co/4fk5xZm [04:19] i also tried $ sh waterfox but i get this error message instead waterfox: 6: waterfox: Syntax error: ")" unexpected [04:22] klu3: How did you download waterfox? I'm guessing that the file isn't marked as execuable. Also, "sh somefile" is only the way to execute a file if that file happens to be a script with #/bin/sh at the top. On Ubuntu /bin/sh is not bash. [04:23] Jordan_U, https://imgur.com/a/rO3zHUL [04:24] Jordan_U: i downloaded it from https://www.waterfox.net/download/ what do i need to do to make it run? [04:24] waterfox have almost identical files as firefox [04:25] should i just copy the launch script for firefox and use that for waterfox [04:26] klu3: Generally you don't want to install things in Ubuntu by downloading anything from a website. Try "sudo snap install waterfox-snap --edge", as shown in https://snapcraft.io/install/waterfox-snap/ubuntu . === nt0_ is now known as nt0 [04:27] Jordan_U: thanks, didnt know there's a snap for it, i tried $ sudo apt but it didnt find any [04:28] whats the binary for the ubuntu software store? it won't launch and i can't find the bin to launch from a command line to troubleshoot [04:29] cptmorgan: ubuntu-software [04:29] Jordan_U, https://imgur.com/a/rO3zHUL [04:30] wasnt sure if you saw that [04:32] Jordan_U: thx... i had to do a apt install ubuntu-software with a complete install of 20.04. weird thing is that now i have a "software" icon under application and a "ubuntu software" icon. "ubuntu software" does not launch/work [04:32] linuxpleb2: Thanks. Have you tried reducing the resolution? That seems almost like something I'd expect from dying hardware, but maybe your other installs didn't have the problem because they were set to a lower resolution that didn't trigger the problem. It's a shot in the dark, but maybe. [04:33] you know, after blacklisting and now switching to integrated, the scrambling has gone away, i just can set the correct resolution for my 1680*1050 monitor. It is showing up as 1280*1024 [04:36] Jordan_U, at this point if i could just get correct res and aspect ratio, I would be happy. Any sug [04:38] Jordan_U, https://imgur.com/a/SgnfHsI [04:44] linuxpleb2: Can you look at your recent boots with "journalctl --list-boots", find one for which you booted with the corrupt screen, and run "journalctl --dmesg -b N" where N is the number for the boot we want to see? [04:54] Jordan_U, https://pastebin.com/d4Rqrcus [04:57] Jordan_U, Got booted for some reason, did I miss anything? [05:04] linuxpleb2: I don't see anything there that gives me any hints unfortunately. [05:08] I give up. I guess this machine is going in the dumpster. Heh... [05:11] <_bradk> i just upgraded to 20.04 about 1-2 hours ago and i've noticed wifi drop outs (which never happened on 19.10) - i read that i should modify /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and set wifi.powersave = 2 (from 3), have restarted and verified via iwconfig that power management for my wireless device is off [05:11] <_bradk> [05:11] onboard doesn't always support the same high resolutions as discrete [05:11] linuxpleb2 [05:12] bonus [05:12] 20.04 update complete and the built in sdcard read finally works [05:13] <_bradk> seems very odd [05:13] i'll take it [05:13] <_bradk> just tried disabling ipv6 to see if this helps === Napsterbater_ is now known as Napsterbater [05:39] <_bradk> 9 [05:41] _bradk: Try running "journalctl --follow" and see if any interesting output shows up when the wifi has problems. [05:42] _bradk: What symptoms are you seeing exactly? Are the drop outs times where all packats are lost but you remain "connected", or do you see a disconnection and reconnection happening? [05:43] <_bradk> initial problem was packages i was updating would report errors [05:43] <_bradk> then i noticed webpages stopped loading [05:43] <_bradk> running a continuous ping to cloudflare i see drops to the destination with "ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable" [05:45] <_bradk> i'm just waiting for it to come back [05:45] <_bradk> but i ran dmesg | egrep 'iwlwifi|wlp3s0' | grep "2498.309789" -A 20 (2498.309789 seemed to be when it last came up) [05:46] <_bradk> i see this a bit wlp3s0: deauthenticating from by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING) [05:49] <_bradk> just appened, again, i'll paste it in pastebin [05:50] what is the correct location for virsh when installing ubuntu 20.04? Tried https://mirrors.cat.net/ubuntu/ubuntu/dists/focal/main/installer-amd64/ as I usually do for bionic but this time doesn't work === anon is now known as Guest55059 [05:51] I noticed that inside the installer there is a folder named legacy-images.. something changed uh [05:52] <_bradk> Jordan_U: https://pastebin.com/1U4zgutA [05:58] <_bradk> althought that time it was only a few packets dropped which i can live with [05:58] <_bradk> seeing as i [05:58] <_bradk> am running this on an old lenovo t420s laptop :D [05:59] _bradk: Please pastebin the entire output of "dmesg". [05:59] Hi so on this levono v110 laptop, boot mode is put on: UEFI, I install a GPT, non-CSM UEFI only usb image on Ubuntu 20.04 on it, after install it prompts me to the UEFI boot menu, not to grub. I can see the Ubuntu entry there but it won't do any good. [06:01] dan01: What happens when you try to select the Ubuntu entry? [06:02] bradk, can you give us 'cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf | nc termbin.com 9999' [06:04] Jordan_U: Asking for, I think it will just refresh the screen and prompt him back to the UEFI boot menu, this also happense of for other distros [06:04] <_bradk> Jordan_U: https://pastebin.com/6mL8vHP8 [06:04] Jordan_U: the strange thing, if he boots from USB, he can see and boot his system. [06:06] deluged is broken due to a python3 logging bug [06:06] in vocal [06:06] dan01: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" and the contents of /etc/fstab from that system. [06:07] <_bradk> aside from this dropout problem, i'm pretty impressed with 20.04 - the hardware i'm running this on is junk (t420s, 8GB of ram, a i5-2520M cpu and a crappy 120GB ssd) and it's significantly faster than 19.10 [06:08] Jordan_U: If it helps, he's a sleep now :)) here's fstab (it's before he also tried to install ubuntu) and parted -l [06:08] https://pastebin.com/28uZjXBk [06:09] _bradk: Please pastebin the output of "systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled [06:11] <_bradk> Jordan_U: https://pastebin.com/R6wdbDxk [06:14] _bradk: Can you reproduce the problem from an Ubuntu 20.04 LiveUSB? [06:17] <_bradk> i haven't tried yet [06:17] <_bradk> i suppose i could load it up and see if i lose connectivity [06:17] <_bradk> i think setting the power saving mode from 3 to 2 has helped [06:19] _bradk: "lspci -k" [06:19] Ok so deluged (the one included in ubuntu's repo) doesn't work with python 3.8 but ubuntu 20.04 comes with it, using latest dev branch causes new things to break, so not sure how to get this working?? [06:21] hi [06:21] what program / app / etc. would you recommend for keeping track of topics learned at home? (home-school) [06:21] I found [06:22] https://minidiary.app <== no hashtags supported [06:22] https://rednotebook.sourceforge.io/ [06:22] ^ also, no hashtags supported :( [06:22] it's necessary to search by date + hashtags [06:23] for example: March 01 - March 30 #math #algebra [06:26] I just had to reconnect to my router, but the IRC server did not notice I was gone. [06:26] if anyone replied in the meantime, please tell me again [06:30] Rojola: please dont use this channel for every step you are doing, focus on ubuntu issues only [06:31] lotuspsychje, well, where else should I go? [06:31] lotuspsychje, I am on Ubuntu Linux [06:31] Rojola: we have #ubuntu-offtopic and #ubuntu-discuss for other chat that does not fit here [06:33] lotuspsychje, I don't believe, that my question will get any attention is these low-traffic-channels you mentioned, but ok [06:34] let's try it [06:35] Rojola: thats not what i meant, you need to divide support questions with offtopic chatting, in the right channels that suit for it [06:40] Hello all. Where can I find the "alternate server install" image for Ubuntu 20.04 amd64 ? [06:49] Guest_41: Seems like it's officially gone: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/server-installer-plans-for-20-04-lts/13631 why did you want to use the alternate installer? [06:54] !rootirc | mdh [06:54] mdh: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [07:19] Hello new ubuntu was released right? [07:19] yeah [07:20] "Use the Ubuntu terminal and run Linux applications on Windows." :/ [07:20] aka WSL [07:20] p0a: can we help you with something? [07:23] where can I find the list of known issues with 20.04? [07:24] oxek: are you looking for all the bugs, or the releasenote bugs? [07:24] release note bugs please [07:24] !20.04 | oxek [07:24] oxek: Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) is the 32nd release of Ubuntu and is the current !LTS release. Download at Download at https://www.ubuntu.com/download - Release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes [07:25] the ubuntu webpage is not the best experience in accesibility, thank you [07:28]
