[03:56] good morning [07:35] good morning === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon === JanC is now known as Guest31265 === JanC_ is now known as JanC === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [17:49] croraf: tell me what your issue was again? [17:49] I mean no need for you to remember [17:49] But was a hell of the issue [17:49] My screen was crashing on boot [17:49] I thought it was like no way to work. [17:49] Like frozen graphics on boot. [17:50] Very random behavior, sometimes I managed to enter sometimes not. [17:50] Newest Nvidia RTX 2080 graphics. We disabled drivers, but still no help. We tried 1000 stuff. Whole day. I pasted bins. [17:51] croraf: what was the end solution? [17:51] We did some progress but still crashing. At the end you quit. And I alone tried for couple of more hours and the issue was in that Ubuntu graphics manager or something. [17:51] Not Gnome, but that other thing beneth [17:51] nvidia-settings? [17:52] no [17:52] At the end I think you said, oh, no wonder they call it experimental [17:52] let me find it on stackoverflow [17:52] hmm [17:54] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1188586/ubuntu-18-04-and-19-10-install-fails-on-omen-by-hp-17-cb0013nm-rtx-2080 [17:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1852636 [17:54] check the last comment on launchpad [17:55] Wayland trash [17:55] lotuspsychje, [17:56] croraf: i do recall your bug, but i did not recall solving something for you, did i advice you to create the bug? [17:56] no, you made me pass most of this stuff [17:57] pci=nommconf [17:57] you made like 70% and I made the last big thing. [17:57] We spent entire day :D [17:57] I basically wanted to quit and go back on the fking windows, but you pushed on. [17:58] Was gods hand that guided me to find the final WaylandEnable=false setting, cause I'm total noob. [17:59] sorry i dont recall anymore what i specificly adviced you croraf [17:59] Doesnt matter, just recalling some good memories :) [17:59] usually i try to test out different graphics drivers [17:59] that we did in 5 min. [17:59] it's not very smart to buy new hardware when you desire to use Linux [17:59] yes, it sucks [18:00] man i wanted to throw my 3.5k USD laptop into trash [18:01] What I'm left with is the final thing to fix (well not final cause my Epson trash printer is also not working with). That's why I came back on the IRC after 9 months. [18:01] Ladies and gentleman meet the: "Microphone not working issue" [18:02] But we can leave it for another day, although it sucks [18:02] croraf: so your issue is now solved with pci=nommconf ? [18:03] This is the only option required from the boot options, and also: "WaylandEnable=false" in /etc/gdm3/custom [18:03] lotuspsychje, [18:03] it works like this for last 9 months, and it is good. [18:03] with 18.04? [18:04] I tried 18.04 it required an install of new kernel, that was not available for it. [18:04] And my network wasnet working. [18:04] So we did it with 19.10 [18:04] lotuspsychje, and myself [18:04] so that's what's in use today, 19.10 ? [18:04] A month ago i switehced to 20.04 [18:05] which broke my headset microphone... [18:05] And internal never worked at all. [18:05] USB or analog jack? [18:05] headeset is connected through bluetooth [18:05] lol [18:05] My jack microphone is working [18:06] but it is trash and noisy, I cannot use it any more [18:06] it's like you made a shopping list of the worst things to use with Linux, bought them all then said "right, let's get cracking!" [18:06] :D [18:06] Well, I bought all the most expensive stuff [18:06] Which proved to be a bad idea [18:07] You know what is worst, the Epson printer/scaner.... [18:07] that thing is mega trash [18:07] and their support... and their website [18:07] I was like ok, they are the best, the most famous, the US company [18:07] i'm afraid the greatest problem here is that you took a gaming spec HP laptop and tried to throw Linux at it [18:08] daftykins, man, i trust in Linux :) [18:08] oh it'll get there, in time - but i doubt you bought it with the intent to be an alpha tester [18:08] I had a gaming Lenovo Legion before, and it worked flawlesly on 18.04 and 16.04 [18:09] I wanted to have the fastest processor, and do cool stuff with graphics. [18:09] I expected the peripherals to just work [18:09] croraf: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2019/11/16/%23ubuntu.txt [18:09] Had good experience with Legion [18:10] Lenovo kit gets a bit more attention, but it's hard to be certain without knowing the hardware spec [18:10] seems like a lot of volunteers were trying to help you that day [18:10] regardless, thinking that one isolated experience would translate to a totally different brand was pretty nuts [18:10] hahahaha lotuspsychje [18:10] was a hard day man [18:11] was it ioria then who helped me the most [18:11] I dont remember any more :D [18:13] I guess it was ioria hahaha, falseflag then [18:14] Is ioria still alive on IRC? [18:14] croraf: i dont see any volunteers advicing you pci=nommconf, but you were mentioning it yourself at the end of the logs [18:15] croraf: yeah ioria joins daily on europe daytime [18:16] cool, he is a great guy for sure [18:17] I'm going back on #ubuntu with a question. A guy tried to help me today, but i was slow in responses and had to go afk several times so he had to leave at the end. [18:18] IRC help is a marathon, not a sprint [18:19] I'm sorry, cause the guy really tried to help me and had time, but I went afk. [18:29] ah i only meant it as a suggestion for how best to approach it
