=== zbenjamin is now known as Guest25345 === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [01:33] so, I'm playing DOTA2 on steam and the damn thing just closed [01:33] no warning [01:33] no crash report [01:33] how can I see why it did that? [01:39] bumblefuzz: try running dmesg [01:39] maybe it died due to running out of memory, in which case a log of that should show up [01:57] worth to check journalctl too [02:20] YES, I couldnt play the DVD because the way to start a DVD in VLC is redic obscure. sarnold [02:21] tripleb: woot! [02:21] YES, I found my way to make ubuntu easy. IT is called FLASHBACK. --- SUCCESS. [02:22] thanks for all the help. (oh about the DVD, could be that update,upgrade with the latest update did it.) [02:23] sarnold, did he ever read .. ? [02:24] oerheks: hah, I was wondering the same thing :)\ === mnemonic is now known as Guest84506 [02:45] can anyone help me set up a AWUS036ACH network adapter? [02:45] I can't figure out how to get it to work [02:46] it shows up on lsusb [02:46] but I can't figure out how to install the drivers [02:46] RTL8812AU [02:47] bumblefuzz: the rtl8812au-dkms package looks promising -- but it's got a bunch of modaliases in the package description.. [02:48] don't know what modaliases are [02:48] bumblefuzz: .. so I'd sort of expect ubuntu-drivers to know if that is the best package to install for that nic, or if there's something better built-in [02:48] how can we tell? [02:48] bumblefuzz: you may also need to install the linux-firmware package, if that's not already installed [02:48] bumblefuzz: try sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [02:49] already installed [02:49] rtl8812au-dkms - distro free [02:49] apparently [02:50] alright, try sudo ubuntu-drivers install -- and hopefully it'll do what's needed :) [02:50] so 'sudo apt install rtl8812au-dkms' ? [02:50] that may also work, I'm not sure if ubuntu-drivers does other steps or not [02:51] it says 1 not upgraded [02:51] I tried ubuntu-drivers [02:51] it says 1 nbot upgraded [02:51] hmm :/ can you paste the output on https://paste.ubuntu.com/ ? [02:52] it's possible just an apt update && apt upgrade will fix that, but it'd be nice to have more context first :) [02:52] apt dist-upgrade [02:52] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/j97GbTWjJ9/ [02:55] hah, dang. I guess that means the dkms is probably already installed, and I think oerheks is right, an apt dist-upgrade ought to install whatever is not upgraded, but maybe there's a reason for that, heh [02:55] try: dkms status [02:56] I ran it anyway [02:56] seeing the timeline, i think there is no kernel module build. [02:56] I don't see the adapter in network manager [02:57] 'kernel module build' and no I'm lost [02:58] now* [02:58] can you pastebin the dkms status output? [02:58] how? [02:58] I'm an intermediate noob [02:59] run dkms status, and paste the output into https://paste.ubuntu.com/ just last the previous paste [02:59] haven't graduated to expert noob yet [02:59] lol [02:59] echo just testing! | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:59] mason: will that ! trip bash's history thingy? [02:59] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2T5QxVh6zT/ [02:59] Oh, I never use history slickly. Dunno. [03:00] I took that from termbin's front page. :P [03:00] haha [03:00] bumblefuzz: maybe try sudo modprobe rtl8812au ? [03:01] sarnold, 'modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.0-40-generic' [03:01] hrmn :( I'm not real familiar with dkms :( [03:03] i think a reboot is required [03:03] brb [03:04] just check if /var/run/reboot-required exists or not. [03:04] oh [03:04] so close :) [03:04] oh well reboot's not a bad all-purpose solvative [03:05] and now? [03:05] disable wired, try to connect? [03:05] maybe you need wpasupplicant .. [03:06] I don't see the adapter though [03:06] how would I connect? [03:07] I should see the adapter in the menubar, right? [03:08] I think so; is there anything in dmesg | grep -i rtl that looks useful? [03:08] you tell me: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/FbdVQctGXY/ [03:08] I really don't know [03:10] 'ip -c a' shows no adapter [03:10] now *wireless* adapter [03:12] no* [03:13] Sarnold thanks. [03:14] bumblefuzz: hah, I'm not sure if that means it worked or not :/ I don't know how ot use 'iw' well enough to tell you how to use it :( try something like 'iw list' and see if it outputs a thousand pages of things that look useful, or a thousand pages of things that look like it's not working [03:14] (seriously I hate iw ..) [03:14] bumblefuzz: hmm, no, first, try rfkill [03:14] iw list outputs nothing [03:14] rfkill outputs nothing [03:15] cripes :( [03:19] ip showing no adapter suggests no firmware, or did I miss something? [03:20] we did dkms and modprobe and apparently there is firmware [03:20] they even had me restart [03:20] and I still see no adapter [03:20] it's acting funny [03:24] and I don't know enough, even with google searches, to figure this out [03:27] anyone? [03:31] sorry bumblefuzz :( I'm out of ideas [03:31] bumblefuzz: mason's guess of needing firmware is a reasonable one, but I don't know what to suggest, you've already got the most likely looking packages installed [03:31] bumblefuzz: it's time for me to bail -- good luck :) [04:03] welp [04:03] I guess I'll come back tomorrow [04:04] for some reason the rtl8812au driver doesn't work [04:04] it's installed [04:04] but I don't see an adapter [04:04] go figure [04:28] Hello, How to check which gcc is a default gcc on 16.04?

[10:47] have you tried changing dns? [10:47] I have [10:47] Hello all, I would like to understand how to check if my printers (USB & network) are configured properly and is working fine without taking a test print on Ubuntu ? [10:48] Two Xboxes and the router on the same network have had DNS changed to 1.1.1.1 [10:48] They all work now. [10:48] Guest 8: what error does it give? [10:48] There was an ISP problem which sent all traffic to 78.33.48.91 which is an error handling page from the ISP. [10:49] narakrish: you wont ever find out without a test print, you can always ping it thro the network tho [10:49] Apt is resolving all sources to this page and doesn't appear to reset properly [10:49] Guest 8: https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2017/10/09/how-to-clean-the-apt-cache/ [10:50] maybe this can help [10:50] Adding an option -o acquire::forceIPv4=true [10:50] sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches [10:50] Seemed to help initially but the problem remains when this option is not included and I cannot update my system [10:51] waiting like a couple days could solve it [10:51] but to solve it now [10:51] you could try flushing systemd cache [10:51] sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches [10:51] I ran that and the command and then apt update it remains [10:52] thats rather weird [10:52] have you tried [10:52] turning it off and on [10:52] ? [10:52] I thought it would be something to do with cached DNS but this is an area I don't have experience sorting [10:52] Yeah I have rebooted a couple times [10:53] I was able to get online before with tor. So it can't be connection [10:53] how much time has passed since your issue appeared? [10:53] But now the tor browser won't connect. [10:53] what happens when you do this dig @8.8.8.8 example.com [10:53] This is day 3 [10:54] I ran dig command, which part of this output shall I reference as I don't understand this page [10:55] Ok hang on penny dropped [10:55] I dig monster.com [10:55] Answer section: monster.com 243 IN A 208.71.193.147 [10:56] hmmm [10:56] what happens [10:56] if you take ur dns out of 8.8.8.8 [10:57] 1.1.1.1* [10:57] I don't understand what you mean sorry [10:57] just do automatic dns [10:57] instead of manuao [10:57] manual* [10:59] It times out [10:59] maybe [10:59] you should ring up [10:59] your ISP [10:59] sounds like they are being naughty [11:01] You think this is defo ISP related? [11:01] yes [11:02] ubuntu doesnt cache much stuff, and at most its like 24h [11:02] AFAIK [11:02] so your isp [11:02] must be still doing shit [11:03] Ok I will get in contact with them. You seem to be fairly clued up on it. Do you have any links or search terms to start as I didn't get far with "flush apt DNS cache" other than forcing ipv4 [11:04] https://askubuntu.com/questions/2219/how-do-i-clear-the-dns-cache/929478#929478 [11:04] wait a sec [11:04] I think [11:04] did you change ipv6 [11:04] dns? [11:05] both ipv4 and ipv6 use individual dns settings [11:05] Yes I have as part of trouble shooting it but I'm not sure it's working right [11:05] probably its your ipv6 settings [11:05] acting up [11:05] and not ipv4 [11:06] since when you force ipv4 it works [11:06] I am using the ipv6 from cloudflare 1.1.1.1 [11:06] 1.1.1.1 isnt an ipv6 [11:06] address [11:06] 2606:4700:4700::1111 [11:06] And another address with a couple digits difference in the end [11:06] ah [11:06] that is [11:06] an ipv6 address yes [11:07] did you try ipv6 dns on auto? [11:07] This was all just automatic before [11:07] ok [11:07] then [11:07] if it still doesnt work [11:07] your isp must still be routing ipv6 thro the wrong place [11:07] and only fixed ipv4 [11:07] maybe your network issues can go away [11:08] if you disable ipv6 [11:08] while your isp wakes up and fixes it [11:08] This is what I thought. [11:09] I thought that it must be some link somewhere is not being touted correct as tor had no problems so can't be connection [11:09] have you tried [11:09] traceroute? [11:10] The only DNS change I had made before this was foxyproxy to enable i2p [11:10] foxyproxy shouldnt affect apt [11:10] unless you enable system wide proxy [11:11] Same sort of error with traceroute to Google resolved to ISP error page IP again [11:11] 78.33.48.91 [11:11] see? [11:11] your isp [11:11] fault [11:11] Ok thanks [11:12] So that's live not a chaced resolved address [11:12] probably yes [11:13] hey folks, ubuntu 18.04 contains libssl1.0.0 with is in fact 1.0.2 both version are deprecated, what is going on there ? [11:14] probably outdated software still using it [11:14] you can try to remove it and see what goes away with it [11:16] linkpuff: yeah , but what i meant was, is there any plan to remove it from that LTS release [11:16] basically it's not safe anymore [11:16] hmmm probably not [11:17] but dont take my word [11:17] for it [11:18] Ubuntu 18.04 is an old version anyway why not use 20.04 [11:19] 18.04 is LTS [11:19] its a safe bet [11:19] generally [11:20] True but so is 20.04 [11:20] yes [11:20] maybe its just a burden to do release upgrades to some people [11:20] also [11:20] 18.04 is the last LTS [11:20] to support x86 [11:20] Ahh [11:20] I still use it on a couple machines [11:21] Be around for a while then [11:22] My mobile provider also get there service from the same ISP. So if I am having the same problem resolving from when connected to a mobile hotspot I think that points to the ISP.... But I am using the mobile internet on the phone without issue now.... [11:22] Only a problem when used as a hotspot. [11:23] hmmmm idk then [11:23] Seems v weird.

Will it icrease r/w on ssd too ? [12:50] hi,is there a way to undo a restore from timeshift? [12:52] in order to be able to dualboot a system (Ubuntu and Win10 both installed in the HDD) what's the proposed order of actions? install win10 first or ubuntu first? IIRC both of those OS do create more than one partition on their default install scenarios, how to deal with that too? [12:53] olspookishmagus: If it's Windows 10 then presumably UEFI system then the order doesn't matter [12:53] olspookishmagus, I'd recommend installing Windows first, then Ubuntu. Windows Setup installs its own bootloader, while the Ubuntu installer installs Grub which can boot either OS. Also don't use the default install configuration [12:54] Andrio: that only applies to BIOS/Megacy CSM installs, not UEFI [12:54] s/Megacy/Legacy [12:54] I installed a video game (terraria) and I was messing with the video settings while in fullscreen and the whole system stopped for a bit, and then came in spurts and stops but was unusable [12:55] I then force restarted, and got the error message "starting gnome display manager ... link was shut down" [12:55] How does UEFI change that? [12:55] Andrio: because that's how it works [12:55] telmac: did you run the game a second subsequent time to determine if the behavior was consistent and repeatable [12:56] telmac: ??? [12:56] UEFI has it's own boot-loader EFI file-system where each OS co-exists in separate directories [12:56] there's some instructions I found online for how to deal with this, the first step being just go to another one of the virtual terminals or whatever it's called (hit alt-f2), but when I do that the screen keeps switching back and forth between tty2 and tty1 (I assume it's 1) [12:56] I see [12:56] and in such a way that you can't really type in either, like I could slowly get my username in but there's no way to even tell if I'm successfully typing my password [12:56] Andrio: what part of the default install configuration is the offending one? [12:57] telmac: did you run the game a second subsequent time to determine if the behavior was consistent and repeatable??? [12:57] tatertots: well, I can't even get that far, like I just said [12:57] telmac: the silence or avoidance of responding with a yes/no means the answer is NO\ [12:57] For me, anything that doesn't let me choose how to partition my drive [12:58] okay hum, well *now* it finally stopped glitching [12:58] telmac: after a video game malfunction and a REBOOT your computer does not function normally? [12:58] yes [12:59] very strange! but I was editing the resolution settings, and so it could easily have messed with x11 or gnome or what have you [12:59] telmac, is your PC overheating? [12:59] no [12:59] telmac: if i installed a game that resulted in system instability, I would immediately remove/purge that video game from my computer ASAP and determine if the computer stabilized [13:01] telmac: i would then test other video games and if i could say with confidence only game "A" results in instability, while game "C" "B" and "E" run without issue....I would avoid game "A" [13:01] well, again i'm not even sure how to get that far [13:02] tatertots: it's really difficult to talk to you, it seems like you're not reading what I've written - you're advising steps that I can't even reach because my whole system is too broken [13:02] telmac: you are chatting from a second computer or iPhone right now? [13:02] (I'm talking to you from a different ocmputer rn) [13:02] yes [13:04] telmac: it sounds as if you no longer have any administrative control of the computer to make any corrective actions, via GUI log in or virtual console / virtual terminal, leaving booting emergency mode as your remaining untested option of regaining some administrative control over the system to make corrective actions [13:05] ah that's a good idea [13:05] so, once I'm there, how can I get gnome working again? [13:05] telmac: if you are unable to even use emergency mode...restoring from a back up would be next and if you can't do that...you'll be reinstalling the operating system [13:09] telmac: do you mean a GUI that you can control with your mouse? [13:10] telmac: is that what you mean by "gnome" [13:13] I meant gnome in particular? [13:13] like, where I am now, I could just type startx and I'm not even sure what I'll get [13:14] but I want to get back to exactly where I was [13:14] okay so if I type startx I get a different error message [13:14] it ends with "xinit: unable to conneact to x server: connection refused [13:14] xinit: server error" [13:15] okay, so I can't even get x going, let alone gnome in particular [13:17] it seems like tatertos has given up, can anyone else help? [13:18] telmac: had to get coffee [13:18] ah sure [13:19] telmac: you don't have a back up of the system correct? [13:19] no, but right now I've been able to log into the cli [13:19] I'll copy ~ rn [13:20] telmac: you could view the logs however that will not immediately offer you any magic silver bullet/fix, with that having been said, you're already at a point where you'll be reinstalling in my opinion, there's not much you can do since you're already in a "emergency" situation [13:20] tatertots: well rn I'm able to get into the cli [13:21] telmac: having a back up of important files is great..i was referring to a full system backup which would entirely restore to a previous system state [13:21] that's not "emergency" so much, is it? like, shouldn't I be able to recover from there? [13:21] oh, no [13:21] I don't [13:21] telmac: are you booted to "emergency" mode? yes/no [13:22] no, it actually stopped glitching between tty2/1 and I was able to login [13:22] but I expect it'll do that again when I reboot [13:22] telmac: do you have network connectivity in it's current state?...use "ping" to test [13:22] yup [13:24] telmac: in terminal> journalctl -p 2|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [13:24] telmac: share url/link here...if you do not get a url/link...simply say so [13:25] sec [13:26] sorry, this command is completely illegible to me, what is this doing? [13:27] usually I can at least parse commands I'm given by folks in this sort of place and see that they're harmless but i have no clue what this is [13:28] telmac: journalctl has a man page you can read right on the system [13:29] trmbincom/2bin [13:29] trmbin.com/2bin [13:30] reinstall..that url/link doesn't work [13:30] sorry, termbin.com/2vin [13:30] I mistyped [13:31] telmac: in terminal> journalctl -p 3|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [13:31] termbin.com/p40s [13:33] telmac: you will reinstall the operating system at this time [13:33] telmac: Jul 16 08:55:29 herschel-dell gnome-session-binary[19416]: Unrecoverable failure in required component org.gnome.Shell.desktop [13:34] telmac: keyword=Unrecoverable [13:34] lol [13:34] any guess what happened? [13:34] https://www.gog.com/game/terraria this was the game, I doubt this could have really broken much [13:35] telmac: in terminal> inxi -Fxxprzc0|nc 5.39.93.71 9999 [13:35] telmac: follow instructions to install if not already installed, then follow through [13:35] telmac: i expect a url/link [13:38] termbin.com/no81 [13:40] So I'm having freezing issues with 20.04. It seems like my installation will suddenly decide to sputter and then freeze itself. If I am playing sounds, it will start to loop over the sound buffer, advancing a little by little until it completely stop. [13:41] This most recent time, I checked journalctl and saw this warning message as the last journal message before I reset my machine [13:41] https://hastebin.com/eqafubexap [13:42] At first I thought it was a graphics card issue, but after using more up-to-date graphics drivers from a PPA and even switching to an old nvidia card the problem persists, so it's not graphics. [13:42] telmac: what is your local time right now?...approx what time did you install the offending video game?... [13:43] I also never recall having freezing issues with Fedora [13:43] which I ran for a couple of months.\ [13:43] * which I ran for a couple of months. [13:43] telmac: Jul 16 08:47:02 is the time of failure [13:43] currently 9:43 AM, installed uh, like 8:45 or something idunno [13:43] lol [13:43] telmac: that matches [13:44] So how's it with package tracking on buntus, are you guys allowing it or switching off of some matters? [13:44] I personally don't give a shit about it. [13:44] hm [13:44] telmac: ultimately you'll need to reinstall, if i were in your shoes i wouldn't bother with that game anymore unless i had a full back up image of my computer [13:44] tatertots: well, separately, is there any way to do a reinstall from within a live system, and retain the same software installed (the game wont' get installed, it wasn't a .deb or anything) [13:45] rather than going and making a liveusb [13:46] telmac: nope..you will reinstall from installation media [13:46] :< [13:47] well that's no fun [13:48] telmac: when you don't have full system backups...thats the way the cookie crumbles...the way the ball bounces [13:49] tatertots: do you have any recommendations for a very simple setup for doing system backups [13:49] I usually don't take up much space, like rn the whole install is like, 15 gb or something [13:50] telmac: timeshift, clonezilla, g4L/ghost for linux [13:52] any differences between these [13:54] telmac: yes i arranged by ease of usage for someone who hasn't used them before === mateen1 is now known as mateen === JimBuntu is now known as GingerBuntu === GingerBuntu is now known as JimBuntu [14:53] Just a little help please... I think i just need a modprobe ? not sure Wifi intel 8265, I was on 18.04 then the kernel 5 came out and I think wifi is in the kernel now, been using usb tethering with my phone. I upgraded to 20.04 yesterday. [14:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KqQXwkbDyZ/ [14:56] flyn4x4: can you show the driver / wireless initialization from journalctl -b - or the full log from the latest boot? [14:57] full log like dmesg? [14:57] journalctl -b | nc termbin.com 9999 [14:59] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/t7nJ9dgyyg/ Dmesg [15:00] no link from jour nc [15:00] flyn4x4: hmm, this can happen if the command takes too long to process [15:02] its over 20k lines [15:08] 22765 lines paste ubuntu gave me Bad Gateway twice [15:09] do i need another option other than b to not pagenate? [15:10] Is memtest86+ still the go-to for testing memory, or should i busing something else?\ [15:10] sorry flyn4x4, i was on the phone [15:11] flyn4x4: let me see how we can gre for what's reelvant [15:11] *grep [15:11] cool [15:12] pci 3 [15:12] flyn4x4: journalctl -b | grep iwlwifi | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:13]
