What shows ' cat /var/cuda-repo-10-1-local-10.1.243-418.87.00 ' . [00:54] that's a direcotyr, you want me to ls ot? [00:54] * ls it? [00:54] cat all the files in it??

[02:09] Ubuntu is based on Debian but doesn't mean it's compatible with debian [02:09] anyway i will stop my project now [02:09] and Kali stuff belong in he kami linux channel, not here [02:10] let me rephrase that [02:10] Kali stuff belongs in the kali linux channel, not here [02:12] if someone want to use kali app, then install kali instead of ubuntu. this is my last advice [02:12] :( [02:12] sigh [02:13] Maik_aD, why? [02:13] as i said, Kali talk doesn't belong in this channel [02:13] FutureRich: please drop this thread, you have been asking this since yesterday now [02:14] focus on ubuntu questions and move on FutureRich [02:14] FutureRich: this channel is a support channel for Ubuntu and it's official flavors only [02:14] ok [02:14] either go to offtopic or to the Kali channel and forums [02:48] Hey, I just installed a virtual machine using Virtualbox and when running command $sudo apt-get update it says "some index files failed to download" https://pastebin.com/1Ch69jP1 I tried a few different mirrors. [02:48] any ideas? [02:52] gnoob: use a different mirror [02:53] and/or check the date/time on your VM [02:53] I tried a few already. hmm, date and time I will. [02:54] 21:53 looks OK. and July 25th. [02:55] I can try another mirror. Right now I am on the main server option [02:57] The message keeps saying "Hash Sum M mismatch" The SHA1 hash seems to be calculating incorrectly. The other seem OK. [03:01] OK, I found something that might have to do with WSL. I tried to uninstall it but maybe something is residual. [03:20] gnoob: I thought you said this was Virtualbox? Not WSL [03:20] Yes, it's virtualbox. I had WSL setup yesterday but have since uninstalled. [03:21] but I am seeing there might be some incompatibility with how windows handles virtualization and having had WSL setup at one point. [03:27] leftyfb: some looking online might indicate windows 10 has an issue with Virtualbox because WSL was already setup and it has issues with two virtual machine managers. I guess it turns out it may not be a ubuntu issue. [03:41] Found a way to disable hyper-v and it seems to be working [03:56] I just need to run one GUI applicatio and none other. Can I just install console base ubuntu and just the one UI app? [03:56] Depends [03:56] Wich ui framework does that app use? [03:57] you'd need to install the X11 Windowing System and a desktop environment... if you want to minimize resource usage and space, i'd recommend LXDE [03:57] its zopier [03:57] Yep [03:57] xinit to the rescue [03:57] old timz [03:57] is x11 and desktop env mandatory? [03:58] i suppose you can use wayland [03:58] ? [03:59] can I not run any UI app without x11 and desktop env? [03:59] i give up using kali app :( i just learn programming or something and i format my pc because i can't delete kali app. thanks for help for 2 days [03:59] :) [04:00] Unless you use curses, I think not [04:00] *ncurses [04:00] ddt94, what do you mean? [04:00] No, I was answering something else [04:00] sorry [04:00] can I not run any UI app without x11 and desktop env? [04:01] no [04:01] it's like asking to run a windows program in MS-DOS :P [04:01] nop [04:01] not so, but almost [04:01] RingtailedFox: desktop evn is not mandatory. x11 might be [04:01] :P [04:02] i've seen some rare linux programs on other distros that have both graphical and text-mode versions built-in... mostly things like drakconf (a configuration tool that's kinda like a control panel)... if your program has that sort of behaviour, you might be in luck... but don't count on it [04:02] Install X11 and run xinit to setup some graphical environment, then run the app [04:03] want to try on only x11 [04:03] RingtailedFox, that´s what I meant with ncurses [04:03] how to install x11? [04:03] sudo apt-get install x11 [04:03] hm [04:03] ok [04:03] google it [04:03] thanks [04:04] Oh, how I miss Linux!!! [04:04] i dunno, i only screw around with ubuntu as part of WSL. most of the rest of the time, i'm on Mageia Linux or Fedora, since for whatever reason, ubuntu refuses to install on the machine they run on [04:09] I need ubuntu server 20 lts, which one to go for ? https://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [04:12] Intelo, I'd download from https://ubuntu.com/download/server ; Ubuntu server & desktop releases are yy.mm in format, yy is used for specialist releases like Ubuntu Core [04:13] guiverc: whyat its called 'live server'? https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/ubuntu-20.04-live-server-amd64.iso.torrent?_ga=2.134353973.555305386.1595736296-1560803637.1595541226 [04:13] The default installer now for Ubuntu Server is subiquity, which runs in 'live' mode. [04:14] Historically Ubuntu Server used debian installer, that has been replaced by subiquity (not to be confused with ubiquity used by desktops) [04:15] what does subiquity do in terms of 'live'? [04:16] subiquity is the live installer used by Ubuntu Server (replacing the di or debian installer). It's an application that runs on the 'live' server image that does the install [04:17] guiverc: then whats the diff b/w network install and live server? https://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [04:17] sorry I've confused you. Ubuntu Server now exists on 'live' ISOs, like most desktop releases [04:17] Network installer (netboot) is tiny, 141MB or something, everything is downloaded except for details need to boot system. [04:18] Intelo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [04:20] Intelo, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/server-installer-plans-for-20-04-lts/13631 [04:20] hm but in one linver what is the live part [04:21] it boots and can be run in 'live', ie. use it as if it was installed without actual install (like Try Ubuntu on a desktop ISO) [04:22] oh [04:23] i get it now [04:24] Can ubuntu server 20 run on raspberry? [04:25] Ubuntu Server use yy.mm format, Ubuntu Core 20 is a different product, but yes both Ubuntu Core 20 & Ubuntu Server 20.04 will run on pis [04:25] guiverc: whats core? [04:25] yy.mm? [04:26] diff b/w core and server [04:26] Ubuntu Core is a specialist appliance/device (snap based) release. Ubuntu desktop & server use yy.mm format (year.month), specialist releases use yy and are snap based (not deb) [04:26] https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi [04:29] so the pi one is a different OS with same name [04:29] maybe minimized [04:29] if I run real ubuntu server on pi, it might not run as good. I htink [04:29] think [04:30] It's the same Ubuntu, but different architecture, like s390 is a different architecture; each different architecture has stengths, and yes weaknesses [04:30] hm [04:30] So I cant install normal ubuntu on pi. I need its special one? [04:31] Intelo, I r.pi doesn't know what amd64/i386 code is; to the arm cpu it's just data, not executable code. You need to compile code for a specific architecture (some packages run in all architectures; eg. wallpaper packages work in all) [04:32] Intelo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedArchitectures [04:32] Intelo: RasPi's have a "ARM" based mobile CPU/processor [04:32] oh [04:32] Intelo: this is the differentiating factor [04:33] * Intelo making a pc lap. need cheapest PCs ever. Any suggestions? [04:33] Intelo: vanilla ubuntu / ubuntu server is for X86 64bit CPU/processors [04:33] ok. [04:34] what hardware to buy? Cheapest? [04:34] Intelo: NOT "ARM" based mobile phone CPU/processor [04:34] got t [04:34] it [04:43] If I want multiple displays, I need multiple gpu/ graphics cards. Is there any alternative to this? e.g attach LCD display via usb or ethernet or some other thing that does not requires gpu ? [04:51] Intelo, I'm using multiple displays and am using only a single GPU, some cards have multiple outputs (for multiple displays). Multiple cards for multiple displays provides faster performance needed by some [04:52] i am have been trying for a while to disable the 10% and lower "low battery mode" without any success , any luk for you guyz [04:52] luck* [04:53] ubuntu 18.04 [05:00] guiverc: you use multi seat? [05:01] I don't know what multi-seat is sorry. [05:26] If someone was listening to my cries about pain with latest Ubuntu UI experience then I want to thank the effort applied to make it better [05:27] update your phone or laptop :( old laptop can be penetrated easily [05:27] :( [05:27] bye [05:31] leftleg_, ? [05:31] ok? [05:35] hi, I'm having trouble with simple-scan, which repeatedly crashes while saving. Is there a way to convert my .pixels files manually? [05:43] the settings.json file for Transmission exists in two places, /etc and /var. Which one are you supposed to edit? Or does it matter? [05:43] squarecircle: what is the absolute path to a .pixels file(s)? [05:44] There's /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json and /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json [05:44] /home/user/.cache/simple-scan/autosaves [05:44] tatertotz: ^ [05:45] squarecircle: to a file [05:45] squarecircle: meaning you have to include the filename [05:45] tatertotz: include the filename - where? [05:46] squarecircle: let me see if i can say it differently [05:47] squarecircle: observe the properties of a .pixel file and get it's "absolute" path that includes a file itself i.e /home/user/July2020.pixel [05:48] squarecircle: or just do this in terminal> ls -alh /home/user/.cache/simple-scan/autosaves|nc termbin.com 9999 [05:48] squarecircle: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [05:50] squarecircle: did you fall in?

[06:00] Yaron-Heb, ISD support? [06:01] Hmmm I don't know, if it's not IS anymore then the documentation should be updated :) [06:01] obviously there is no #is channel, i did not find such in the doc either. [06:01] isd support is mail only [06:02] Does it have the same role of providing helpline support? [06:03] I thought about several possible acronyms: Internet Safety, Internet Support, I can't really tell. [06:04] Yes, for 2 fact auth devices [06:04] no idea what isd stands for, actually :-D [06:05] Is it IS or ISD? [06:05] ISD .. and i found 'is'> You can reach IS in the #is channel (the vanguard is listed in the channel topic ... [06:07] I'm not really sure I understand vanguard in this context. [06:10] doesn't this belong in either discuss or offtopic since it isn't really a help question related to the OS? [06:10] it is related to ubuntu, sure. [06:11] Is there a dedicated Ubuntu One channel? [06:11] nope [06:12] ubuntu one was actually discontinued years ago, it's only used to sign in iirc [06:13] Yaron-Heb: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [06:17] :( Hmmmmm, I really don't know who to talk to about this. [06:27] squarecircle: oh you actually posted something [06:28] squarecircle: in terminal> file /home/squarecircle/.cache/simple-scan/autosaves/2248587824.pixels|nc termbin.com 9999 [06:28] squarecircle: share url/link here..if you do not get a url/link..simply say so [06:28] squarecircle: i'll check back in 10 minutes or so, i'm sure it'll take you a while to complete the task [06:34] tatertotz: :~$ file .cache/simple-scan/autosaves/2563663296.pixels [06:34] .cache/simple-scan/autosaves/2563663296.pixels: data [06:36] Hi. I have both ubuntu and windows on my computer but since a few days ago, I noticed that while in linux, my file system goes read-only. I googled and ran the gnome-disks command which showed 'Self-test failed'. So I thought the problem was with my harddisk. But I've been using the same computer with a live USB Ubuntu and accessing the same harddisk and it's not showing any errors from the part of the [06:36] windows partitions. But the linux partition is still read-only. Does that mean maybe my harddisk isn't dead after all? Maybe a simple reinstall can fix the problem? [06:39] squarecircle: have you tried renaming the file and then playing with the file? [06:39] squarecircle: ultimately you may need to figure out how to get successful, stable scanning capability [06:40] squarecircle: so you don't end up with intermediary files in the first place [06:41] oerheks: it looks pretty active - https://git.launchpad.net/canonical-identity-provider/log/ [06:56] famubu, what happens if you simply remount the root filesystem while in linux? [06:57] $> sudo mount -o rw,remount / [06:57] then perhaps run a [06:57] $> sudo fsck -y / [06:57] assuming you only have one partition here === BarnabasDK_ is now known as BarnabasDK [07:04] famubu, provided your windows and linux partitions are on the same physical disk - it would be very wierd if a hardware problem only affected one of the partitions [07:17] Sorry had got disconnected. [07:17] BarnabasDK: Both Windows and Linux are on the same harddisk. But while booting from USB iso file, attempts to mount the linux partition from the file manager always opens it in read-only mode whereas there is no problem whatsoever with the windows data partitions. [07:18] gnome-disks said 'self-test failed'. [07:19] run a fsck from the live iso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting [07:19] So I thought it was a harddisk problem. Yet, only the linux partition seem to have problems. [07:19] one cannot fsck a mounted partition, that is why you need the iso [07:20] oerheks: I tried that as well. From live ISO, I umounted the old linux partiton and tried both simple `fsck` and `fsck -vcck`. On next reboot, things would work for a few minutes and then it would revert to read-only mode... :-( [07:21] then your disk is toast,. i guess [07:22] un-repairable [07:23] :-( [07:24] famubu, what does your dmesg log say - if you have hw issues it will definately have info [07:24] oerheks: I had hoped windows partitions working fine under linux showed promise... [07:25] branch it as external and try to recover data with photorec, if photorec doesnt liek the drive, its dead jim [07:25] and oerheks is right on linux you cannot run a fsck on a mounted system - on FreeBSD standard behaviour is to run a NO WRITE file system check [07:25] which is where I spend most of my time [07:25] BarnabasDK: I didn't know about that. How can I access the dmesg log? [07:26] just type dmesg [07:27] but I don't see how hardware issues on a disk can affect just one partition - you should have loads of errors in your windows event log as well [07:27] in the case of a dying disk [07:29] BarnabasDK: In the demsg log, what events should I look out for? It's quite long and I'm still booted from a USB. I better take a look on the installed ubuntu as well. And checkout windows event log (I don't even how to access it :-) but I suppose it should be easy enough to find ) [07:30] BarnabasDK, depends what sector is affected. [07:30] lotuspsychje: By branch as external, did you mean booting from ISO? [07:31] famubu: no, i mean plug the faulty disk out, and plug it externally on a working system and scan with photorec [07:31] oerheks, true - but the linux partition was also accessed from windows [07:31] BarnabasDK, that i did not make up from his story === nt0_ is now known as nt0 [07:31] hi, gyus and gals, can you help me to get back bluetooth disappeared after dist-upgrade? [07:33] famubu, perhaps pipe the dmesg to a file and use pastebin [07:33] drop the link here [07:33] BarnabasDK: No, I cannot access linux partitions from windows. I'm not sure of the details, but the setup was such that linux could view windows files but linux files couldn't be accessed from windows. [07:33] famubu, sorry my mistake [07:34] on windows the event viewer is eventvwr.exe [07:40] Sorry got disconnected again. [07:40] famubu, what kind of disk is it - conventional or ssd? [07:41] BarnabasDK: Conventional. Mechanical HDD. [07:41] ok [07:41] then you oerheks could be right and you could have a bad sector - that kind of thing usually spread quickly [07:42] so I would firstly check the event log on windows [07:42] BarnabasDK: So probably no hope left for the drive? I better replace it? [07:42] jups, bad sectors grow .. [07:42] BarnabasDK: Okay, I'll try that as well. [07:43] (over time) [07:43] famubu, no panic [07:43] firstly check your event log in windows [07:44] then boot on your iso image and try to use a tool called smartctl to query the disk firmware to see if it has logged any errors [07:44] $> smartctl -a /dev/ [07:45] you may have to install that tool first after booting your image [07:45] how about my bluetooth? [07:49] vadique, can you give more info? what ubuntu version, what bt adapter, and driver? [07:49] oerheks, current ubuntu, I duuno which adapter, it's built-in inside [07:50] it worked before I did the latest dist-upgrade [07:50] now I have no bluetooth [07:51] sudo rfkill list //systemctl status bluetooth // gives some info, and lspci gives hw info [07:52] Had got disconnected yet again... [07:52] sometimes 'rfkill unblock bluetooth && systemctl enable bluetooth.service && systemctl start bluetooth.service ' does thr trick [07:54] oerheks, I did as you wrote, but after that I still have $ service --status-all | grep -i blue [07:54] [ - ] bluetooth [07:55] I ran the `sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda` command after umounting all partitons not on the USB and it gave https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/N7MBQGBPf6/. I also ran `sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/sda` and it gave this output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/4vnC3VfHDP/ It says read-failure. What could it mean? [07:58] famubu, it means that the firmware on your disk is capable of self diagnosis and you have had several read errors [07:58] sudo mesg | grep -i blue prints nothing [07:59] kernel is 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 00:24:02 UTC 2020 [08:01] famubu, if you are able to mount the disk read only from your iso image - you should be able to also copy the data from it [08:02] if you have anything important on there now is the time to get it [08:03] this probably goes for your windows system too [08:04] be carefull with smartctl btw - not all the tests are non intrusive [08:06] BarnabasDK: Thanks a lot for your help. I have started backing up the data. [08:08] rfkill list doesn't show bluetooth [08:09] hcitool dev prints nothing [08:14] oerheks: Thanks oerheks. [08:34] lotuspsychje: Hi, regarding my harddisk problem, running photorec works fine on the linux partition. It was able to recover a bunch of files. Did you suggest just photorec as a means of rescuing the data or can it be used to check if the harddisk is dying? [08:36] so... no more bluetooth for me? [08:37] vadique, maybe pointing out the obvious here - but do your bluetooth have a hardware off? [08:38] because that I did that once .. [08:39] BarnabasDK, it worked perfectly before I did dist-upgrade, it's laptop, I doubt it is damaged, I bet its support just became absent in the kernel [08:39] hardware off = a key combination, that turns it off hardware wise [08:39] or maybe even a dedicated knob [08:40] BarnabasDK, there's fn+f2 for "airplane regime", but it's pretty well recognized by some parts of ubuntu [08:40] it switches off any wave-generating stuff inside [08:41] but it's not enabled now [08:42] is there any chance to switch to previous kernel maybe? [08:42] just making sure - because I spend a good hour trying to make bt work on an old laptop .. just to find I had to push a physical knob .. [08:42] or to get some other? [08:44] vadique, it seems wierd they would remove hw support unless it is a VERY old laptop you have [08:44] BarnabasDK, 2018 laptop [08:45] vadique, easy test - image boot / usb from the old version of ubuntu - see if bt turns up [08:46] vadique, I really do not think 2018 hardware is being desupported [08:47] would be crazy [08:48] how to switch a kernel? [08:48] also can you turn it on / off in bios? [08:48] vadique, I would just create a bootable usb stick with the old version of ubuntu [08:49] dpkg --list | grep linux-image | wc -l prints 27 (: [08:49] don't start rolling back the kernel on your working system - that could have a lot of unforseeable consequences [08:50] BarnabasDK, it is not "working" at least for the bluetooth [08:50] ah, it's dpkg --list | grep linux-image | grep ii -- only two [08:51] linux-image-5.4.0-40-generic and linux-image-5.4.0-42-generic [08:51] I'll try to reboot now, I saw there's some option in the bootloader [08:51] yes - so the earlier lts ran 4.15.x [08:53] Hello, i have a problem with my ethernet-to-usbc connector - it shows its signs in 3 different ways: first on boot it shows this message: https://termbin.com/k6kn "xhci_hcd 0000:3c:00.0: Error while assigning device slot ID" [08:54] when plugging it in or out i get no dmsg output at all - nothing happens [08:55] regardless of if i have something plugged in or not - on shutdown it hangs and it shows me the following message: [08:58] https://imgur.com/a/UHsKZYw [08:58] famubu: photorec can't be used to test whether a disk is dying, you already ran the best tool available for this job, smartctl. photorec can be used to recover files which are no longer visible on the file system. if you have sufficient spare disk space on another disk then you should use ddrescue to back up the existing linux file system to an image on this other drive. [08:58] any ideas ? [08:59] thyriaen, you haven't provided OS/release details, but I note you're using a test kernel, do you have the problem with the supported kernel? [09:00] guiverc, oh, i am on a fresh ubuntu 20.04 install ( gnome ), yea i got the problem with the 4.5 and then i tried upgrading to the most up to date kernel to check if it might fix it [09:01] 5.4.0-40-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 23 00:01:04 UTC 2020 has no bluetooth for me too [09:01] which it didn't :/ [09:02] thyriaen: does the ethernet-to-usbc-connector work on the default kernel, though, can you test this now if you haven't? [09:02] also tell us what the other problem is [09:03] tomreyn, the strange thing is - it works "sometimes" ( i think it gets "decided" if it wants to work on boot time ) [09:03] what is "it"? [09:03] there is no other problem - just 1. error on boot, 2. freeze on shutdown and 2. the connector doesnt work / no dmesg output [09:04] so the question is: how to get and boot with some earlier kernel? [09:04] "it" = no dmesg output / no ethernet connection [09:05] thyriaen: so does the usb ethernet dingle not work on the standard kernel, or does it? [09:05] *dongle [09:06] it doesn't work on the default kernel either [09:06] will just 'sudo apt-get install linux-image-5.4.0-39-generic' add it to grub boot option? [09:06] vadique: you can try a mainline kernel. but it would be better to identify the chipset you have and the error messages you got first of all. [09:06] tomreyn, i can revert back to the default kernel, and then "hope" it doesn't work this time - and report back with a boot log capture when it doesn't work again, if you want [09:06] !mainline | vadique [09:06] vadique: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [09:07] thyriaen: oh so are you saying that the dongle works sometimes but not other times when you boot? on both kernels, or just the newer one? [09:07] tomreyn, yeah, but currently I can't see *any* bluetooth hardware at all, lspci and hcitool show nothing [09:07] as well as mesg/dmesg [09:08] one more reboot, and I'm back [09:08] tomreyn, exactly - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't on both kernels - make no difference in both error messages and workinginess [09:09] thyriaen: okay, can you also show a log of a kernel booting when it was detected properly? [09:09] then we can compare [09:10] sure let me reboot [09:10] journalctl --list-boots [09:10] and hope for the best [09:10] what does --list-boots do ? [09:10] list the times when you last booted [09:10] then you can look at and post one of those logs [09:11] ah so i dont have to reboot [09:11] i can just take an old log ? [09:11] right. journalctl -b -N with -N being the number from --list-boots' first column [09:11] to post it just append | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:12] it is -1 [09:12] does it make -b --1 ? [09:12] just one dash [09:12] journalctl -b -1 [09:13] https://termbin.com/g75f [09:14] i think it is here: usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8153, bcdDevice=30.00 [09:15] where it works [09:18] right, 0bda:8153 is the usb ethernet dongle, an rtl8153 chipset [09:19] and i agree that "xhci_hcd 0000:3c:00.0: Error while assigning device slot ID" looks related [09:19] this, too: Jul 26 10:44:14 thy kernel: usb usb3-port2: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad? [09:20] ye [09:21] so it could be a faulty adapter (dongle, or the cable that leads to it), or a faulty usb connector [09:21] it could also be that you have to many power hungry devices connected to the usb already [09:21] tomreyn, it is the only thing connected to my laptop at the moment [09:21] so try a different usb connector, try unplugging devices you don't structly require [09:22] with "5.4.0-39-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 19 10:28:31 UTC 2020" I lost wifi (thus had no internetz at all) and touchpad [09:22] tomreyn, so my best guess is to "buy a new one and hope it works" ? [09:22] i mean if that fixes it, i would be kinda happy :p [09:23] thyriaen: or cross test more before you do, as i just suggested. you can also try it on a different computer, or on the same computer with a different OS. [09:23] you could also search the web for your computer model and such problems and possible solutions [09:24] tomreyn, i tried different linuxxes and have no other options in terms of OS', for my laptop no problems came up [09:24] vadique: and no bluetooth either? [09:25] tomreyn, it was impossible to check, so I just rebooted back to current [09:26] vadique: but booting into the default kernel wasn't always this bad, right? [09:27] tomreyn, it worked previously, yes [09:27] tomreyn, alright, im gonna try a different one - i'll be back if that doesn't give any results :) [09:27] hello [09:27] thyriaen: good luck [09:27] i need to installa a package named epel-release but it is for fedora [09:27] tomreyn, thx [09:27] what is the alternative for ubuntu ? [09:28] asdfgh: there is none, epel is redhat world specific. what are you really trying to do? [09:28] maybe I need some other stuff together with older kernels too, like modules and so on? [09:29] but if yes, it would install together as dependencies, no? [09:29] tomreyn, https://docs.yugabyte.com/latest/deploy/manual-deployment/system-config/ [09:29] they say to instlal ntp and epel [09:29] vadique: bluetooth should be supported by default on all kernels. it could be that older kernels do not detect your very bluetooth chipset, but then they'd never do, not sometimes yes and sometimes no. [09:30] vadique: try mainline, or try to identify the error messages from your logs. [09:30] tomreyn, *older* ones did bluetooth well [09:31] tomreyn, as for mainline, the site you gave me says to download .dpkg package and install it via the dpkg tool [09:31] is there any easier way? [09:31] .deb package maybe, or better some repo with kernels [09:31] asdfgh: are you trying to install the 'Distributed SQL Database" yugabytedb? [09:32] and I'm not sure how will I boot a dpkg-installed one [09:33] vadique: there are no .dpkg packages, there are only .deb packages [09:33] tomreyn, yes [09:33] ah yep [09:34] tomreyn, I mean installing via apt-get, and to get all deps and have grub2 boot option automatically [09:34] vadique: this script works fine for me. it is not supported here, as are mainline kernels, except for testing. https://github.com/pimlie/ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh [09:35] vadique: but you can also just download the matching .deb package from the mainline website and install it using dpkg. [09:35] asdfgh: do they dsupport installation on ubuntu? [09:36] tomreyn, they said yes [09:38] asdfgh: is this written somewhere ontheir website? [09:38] hi [09:39] no [09:39] :D [09:39] they told me via chat [09:39] i have to ask the ubuntu package [09:40] asdfgh: if you'Re alsready chatting to their support, then ask them for support on installing their product on ubuntu, too [09:40] asdfgh: this channel really only provides support for ubuntu and the software ti provides.
