Ended up using dd to zero out the first part of the drive and then fdisk [01:23] Kaedenn1, not easily [01:23] so it'd be great to leave it alone [01:23] then write an angry letter to Ubuntu for not following the linux standard filesystem hierarchy [01:24] and maybe then, they'll fix it [01:24] lots of people take issue with Ubuntu 20 re. snaps and how they're implemented, etc. [01:25] maybe they'll change it if we gripe specifically enough [01:31] sigh. === sublim20 is now known as sublim21 === sublim21 is now known as sublim20 [02:21] Can some one help me with udev rule I am having trouble?

If you want to run a full Ubuntu system either use a VM or do a dual boot. [04:24] Maik: ok. I was running problems with Docker which I'm not familiar with. Docker is a VM of sort I think. So maybe it can't run in WSL?

Now i need to edit folders and files on win 10 from ubuntu but i get permission error. How can i get access to win 10 files. [07:17] i did try this 'sudo chmod u+x 'from ubuntu' [07:17] i did try this `sudo chmod u+x 'from ubuntu` [07:18] give me this `chmod: changing permissions of 'from ubuntu': Read-only file system` [07:18] MrAli, if the windows file system isn't cleanly unmounted, you won't be able to mount RW & so can't change anything (not cleanly unmounted includes hibernated, fast boot enabled etc) [07:20] guiverc How can i tell? [07:23] guiverc Files i want to edit are in D:/ windows system files are in C:/ [07:23] MrAli, If i wanted to see how I mounted a network shares I have; I can `mount |grep 290` (290 will catch the network mounts I'm using in this example; it'll say rw as an option as I have RW used) [07:24] If i just mounted a share however, I'd look at the messages that occurred during mount, if I used a GUI tool I'd have to read logs looking for clues [07:24] MrAli, Unmount your partition and try ntfsfix /dev/sdXY. [07:24] Then remount it, see if you can mount it RW. [07:30] fyi MrAli, the C: & D: labels are just names that windows applies, not what your hardware uses. fastboot impacts any used file-system, even if only contains data (as the directory isn't written to the drive, it's stored in the fastboot area; meaning any other OS & recovery of data is complicated should you have problems) [07:31] to PREVENT data loss, GNU/Linux won't mount an unclean file-system in RW if it detects issues; be thankful for that [07:34] I am using Ubuntu 18.04 [07:34] Can I get help regarding how to create a sub category under an already existing category like Development or Game?

Just a quick question, does the "condensed" font display properly on the Ubuntu Design page for you? here https://design.ubuntu.com/font/ [08:23] anyone with experience with wifi p2p on linux? i need to create a wifi p2p conn between my #ubuntu desktop (using wpa_cli) and a debian arm server (using connmann), in debian i can enable p2p and i see (and connect to it with my android), i want to be able to connect to this p2p wifi conn from my #ubuntu desktop also (it seems that i need to do some stuff on #ubuntu wifi driver to enable p2p ...) [08:24] funnybunny2: Do you see the lock to the left of the website name in chrome? [08:25] [exa], yes, I'd like more white space between lines for it & Ubuntu.. but that's just me. [08:25] bray90820: Yes [08:26] Click on that then click site settings in there there should be an option that says microphone change it from ether ask or blocked to allow [08:27] I just tried Google Hangouts and it said no mic found [08:27] wtf [08:28] When I go to sound settings there's no input [08:28] <[exa]> guiverc: no the poit is that I have the default "times" in the middle box there, on the website...so just kinda checking what's wrong [08:28] ubuntu sound settings? [08:28] Yes [08:29] What Microphone is it? [08:29] #exit [08:30] [exa], I believe it's looks correct, the Condensed font looks like a Ubuntu font & I assume correct to me (firefox on groovy) [08:30] bray90820: I dunno [08:30] I'm on a laptop [08:30] If it's the one built into the laptop then what's the laptop model [08:30] <[exa]> ok I should probably view it on ubuntu, doesn't work from any other system/browser I tried... [08:31] Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7 [08:31] And what version of ubuntu [08:31] 18.04 [08:32] [exa], I suspect it'd look the same on debian for me, but I have Ubuntu fonts installed there too (no time to check currently) [08:33] This is why Linux is worse than Windows [08:33] funnybunny2: The issues with that microphone have been fixed in 20.04 although I suspect you don't want to update [08:33] Sure I do [08:34] I just don't have time right atm. I'm trying to use my mic right now [08:34] Oh well [08:34] I could try to help you if you have a few minutes [08:35] Can you pastebin for me the output of /etc/pulse/default.pa [08:36] <[exa]> guiverc: yeah it fixes itself if I install them to system [08:38] funnybunny2: can you pastebin for me the output of /etc/pulse/default.pa [08:41] bray90820: Sorry, I'm busy now. I'll just update later [08:41] Ok no probleme [08:41] Thanks for helping [08:42] No problem [09:00] Does the newest installer have options for full disk encryption? [09:18] yes [10:14] a couple of days ago I was trying to reinstall (k)ubuntu 20.04 over my 19.04, I selected manual partitioning in the installer, selected all the mount points for the existing partitions and left the format column unchecked, but when I did "install now" it said "No EFI System Partition was found. This system will llikely not be able to boot successfully, and the installation process may fail. Please go back and add an EFI System Partition, or continue at [10:14] your own risk" [10:15] what can I do to fix this issue? maybe it's just a warning that I can ignore? [10:17] Taggnostr: was 19.04 installed in UEFI mode? [10:18] jeremy31, I'm not sure, how can I check? [10:18] Taggnostr: If the HDD doesn't have a EFI System Partition, it likely wasn't installed in UEFI mode [10:19] there is no efi partition [10:20] Taggnostr: disable UEFI in BIOS and then boot the ISO [10:20] will ubuntu 20.04 lts run on an old computer, bios firmware [10:21] jeremy31, I checked the bios and the live usb is marked as UEFI, but otherwise I didn't seen UEFI enabled [10:21] the "secure boot" option in the bios is set to "other os", which apparently means "get the optimized function when booting on Windows non-UEFI mode, Win visa/xp, or other ms secure boot non-compliant OS. Only on Windows UEFI mode that MS secure boot can function properly", and the only other option is windows UEFI mode [10:22] Taggnostr: There might be a non-UEFI listing for the USB in the BIOS boot menu [10:23] jeremy31, I could try to look for that -- in that case I just boot from the live usb in non-EUFI mode and the warning should just disappear? [10:23] Taggnostr: the warning should disappear if the ISO in booted in BIOS/Legacy mode rather than UEFI [10:24] I wonder how/if the boot settings of the live usb affect the installation [10:25] If the ISO is booted in UEFI, you normally see a text based Grub menu at boot, in Legacy there might be a graphic with text that says Ubuntu automatic boot in x seconds [10:25] yeah, I saw that [10:26] I think I have both when I boot normally, and when I booted from the live usb [10:28] jeremy31, I'm going to check the bios and see if I find a non-UEFI option for the live usb [10:29] Taggnostr: either that or add a EFI System Partition, 300-500MB with vfat/fat32 format, ESP and boot flags [10:29] yes, there is a non-UEFI option [10:31] now it's booting in non-UEFI mode, so I'm going to select again manual partitioning, specify again the mount point for all the partitions (including / and /home), leave all the "format?" checkboxes unchecked (last time they told me to leave the checkbox for / unchecked too, since apparently the installer can detect look into it to see what other packages I had installed on 19.04 before installing 20.04), then select the boot partition and see if the warning [10:32] appears again [10:33] how do I know which one is the right boot loader device/partition? [10:33] is it the one where / is? [10:36] Taggnostr: Do you have just on hard drive? [10:36] one [10:36] I have 3 [10:37] a 120G split in 20G for / and 100G for /home, and 2 hd under lvm with different partitions mounted on dirs in my home dir [10:37] I would install to the drive you are putting Ubuntu on as the bootloader doesn't normally get put on a partition [10:38] ok, so the 20G partition used for /, right? [10:39] Taggnostr: the entire drive, not a partition /dev/sd? not /dev/sd?? [10:41] it offers me both /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 | /dev/sdc2, so I guess I need to pick /dev/sdc (which is the 120G ssd) [10:41] sounds correct [10:45] jeremy31, ok, I did "install now" and I'm getting a warning that says that / has not been marked for formatting and that /etc /lib /usr etc will be deleted during install, and to backup anything important [10:45] I think that's expected and there shouldn't be anything important there [10:45] I created a backup of /etc/fstab just in case [10:46] the EFI warning didn't show up this time === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [10:56] jeremy31, I'm getting another warning that says "The following partitions are going to be formatted: LVM VG dataa, LV swap as swap" [10:57] Taggnostr: Not sure about those [10:57] the swap is under LVM so it should be ok, but I'm not sure about LVM VG data -- what is it going to format exactly? nothing is checked under the "format?" column [10:59] I don't use LVM so I have no idea what might happen [11:01] maybe I have to specify the filesystem [11:10] it doesn't seem I can [11:11] If I purge a package, but its files remain on disk, where is the problem? deb file not properly created? === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [11:17] Hi all [11:20] Hi. HP Laptop is stuck in tablet mode (Ubuntu 20.04). How can it be rehabilitated into a normal computer? [11:29] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/370991/debian-installer-mentioned-that-unused-lvm-vg-and-lv-will-be-formatted is the closest to my problem that I can find, but it's not very helpful [11:30] it says that "formatting" might mean "activating", but if that's not the meaning I will lose all my data [12:00] Hello, I am converting a friend's laptop from Fedora to Ubuntu. I remember manually installing RTL8821CE wifi/bt drivers for them on Fedora 29. Does Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS has these drivers built in? And if not, how do I install them? [12:11] psichi: in terminal> sudo apt update && sudo apt install rtl8821ce-dkms [12:11] Secure Boot needs to be disabled [12:11] I think the laptop is in BIOS mode, but I will definitely check during installation [12:12] psichi: The driver might even be listed in the driver manager [12:12] jeremy31: I haven't installed Ubuntu in a long while. Where do I check the driver manager? [12:13] psichi: I think it is in Software and updates, additional drivers [12:13] That would be after the installation, if my memory is correct [12:14] Or would doing this in live boot also install the package for real? [12:14] psichi: I don't remember, but you would likely have to click the box about installing third party software/drivers [12:14] Alright! Thank you! :) [12:33] Sorry for repeat question, can anyone help me turn off tablet mode on a laptop? Shouldn't doing that be simple? [12:40] askhl, settings>input devices or some such, not real familiar with gnome [12:46] BluesKaj: I went through all the settings :(. Some say you can tilt the laptop to disable the tablet mode, but it doesn't work for me (screen rotations otherwise do work) [12:46] Although maybe I can install additional settings programs that can do this... === Wryhder is now known as Lucas_Gray [12:54] askhl, https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/8r7mhc/disable_tablet_mode_while_using_ubuntu_on/ [13:00] BluesKaj: Unfortunately that's not my problem. OP in that thread can turn it off by tilting. I cannot turn it off at all. Disabling screen rotation also does not turn it off. [13:00] Also tried gnome tweak tool, but it isn't aware of tablet mode and provides no related options [13:00] askhl, I was going mention , the paragraph below looks like it could work [13:01] It could, but it didn't :( [13:01] not the the tilting part [13:01] Right, the disabling rotations part. But that doesn't work. [13:02] I could wipe the system and reinstall, but if it turns back to tablet mode some day for some arbitrary reason then that's just unacceptable. [13:02] askhl: is your laptop a convertable tablet or so? [13:03] lotuspsychje: Yes, it can turn the screen all the way back so it is shaped like a tablet. Spent some time turning and unturning in case that would work. No luck though [13:04] It's "obviously" supposed to become a laptop again when the screen is restored to the normal configuration. But that doesn't happen. [13:05] askhl: wich device is this please [13:05] I spent quite some time now looking over the internet for different discussions but no luck, including some xinput/awk magic to turn off things. (I also tried using xinput to turn *on* some things, since the real problem is that keyboard/touchpad are turned off) [13:06] HP Pavillion x360 [13:06] tnx lemme check on that [13:06] 360 might even be a reference to this particular misfeature ... [13:11] askhl: i think there might be a few different angles to think about [13:12] askhl: being on gnome touch support can improve still a lot, unity desktop is still the better way to choose for touch devices. but in your case you want it to act like a laptop on your choice right [13:13] askhl: so there are a few bugs around with xorg and the virtual keyboard like for example bug #1880596 [13:13] bug 1880596 in mutter (Ubuntu Focal) "[Focal regression] On-screen keyboard (OSK) does not appear on touch under Xorg on convertible laptops in tablet mode when physical keyboard disabled" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1880596 [13:13] askhl: another tool you can consider is dconf-editor to find some tweaks on your device [13:16] lotuspsychje: I'm not interested in tablet mode. It just went into tablet mode [13:17] askhl: check orientation-lock in dconf-editor [13:18] The login screen is also affected, i.e., all users [13:18] So I suspect dconf is not enough. But I'll try [13:19] askhl: lets try, if not you can always file a fresh !bug about it [13:21] Indeed it blocks the changing of orientation, but it unfortunately does not enable the keyboard [13:23] askhl: what about screen-keyboard-enabled ? [13:24] and on-screen-keyboard [13:27] Those appear to control the onscreen keyboard, not the actual keyboard [13:28] Although I can barely control the computer due to its severe input deficiencies, so it's sometimes difficult to say [13:28] askhl: does your device have an Fn +F key combo to enable/disable ? [13:29] lotuspsychje: No apparent reaction [13:30] askhl: could you pastebin your dmesg please? [13:33] http://dcwww.camd.dtu.dk/~askhl/files/dmesg.txt [13:34] askhl: tnx, reading [13:36] askhl: try cleaning its touchscreen [13:38] tomreyn: Cleaning in what sense? [13:38] Physically it looks entirely clean [13:39] okay, that's what i mean. i'm just wondering whether maybe there are constant inputs detected on the screen. even if it looks clean, this may be a good idea juts to rule it out. [13:40] askhl: what comes to mind for me, is you could try updating to latest bios version if available, your current is 2015, dmesg spits a few acpi issues out [13:40] a touchpad warning aswell, psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: SYN1eb1 PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input@vger.kernel.org. [13:40] xev could probably tell (i'm unsure whether it handles touch input, but it probably does) [13:42] tomreyn: I incidentally tried xev. The keyboard generates no X events [13:44] askhl: hmm okay then it's probably something else. [13:44] I have a touchpad and the bottom click area seems to be interpreted as 3 buttons, left, middle, right/ It's not a physical switch thing, because in Windows it's just left and right. How do I make it so there is no middle button area, and it's just using left click and right click? [13:45] without disabling the part that is currently interpreted as middle. basically, I want left to be 50% and right to be 50% [13:45] I keep closing things because I tap within the 50% area of left, but it's actually in the "middle" button area. [13:45] Another piece of information: The keyboard works during boot: I can enter/edit BIOS settings, choose boot modes etc. But some software then disables the keyboard and touchpad when Ubuntu boots. [13:46] askhl: i found an old bug about your cherry keyboard bug #986359 [13:46] bug 986359 in Linux "046a:0010 usb keyboard response is bad" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/986359 [13:51] lotuspsychje: Hmm. The problem is related to the laptop's own keyboard, whereas the bug appears related to USB keyboards. Incidentally I have a USB keyboard connected which does work. [13:52] I could try to update the BIOS but I think this is something caused by Ubuntu. After all the keyboard works in the boot menu etc. [13:52] askhl: your cherry keyboard is the external one you use? [13:53] So, uh, what's a cherry keyboard exactly? [13:53] Oh you got that from dmesg, now I get it. Indeed it says "Cherry". [13:53] askhl: input: Cherry GmbH SmartBoard XX44 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-4/1-4.2/1-4.2:1.0/0003:046A:0010.0003/input/input10 [13:53] That's the external USB keyboard. It works correctly (apart from being old and partially broken) [13:53] ah ok tnx to confirm [13:54] Sorry for the confusion. [13:55] askhl: dont worry not your fault [13:57] ash_worksi: i have an idea, maybe you could try installing unity desktop and compare its behaviour with gnome, this way we can rule out its really a bug about booting, or gnome [13:59] askhl: ^ [14:01] lotuspsychje: trying to install stuff like gnome-flashback right now [14:01] askhl: ok also possible [14:08] lotuspsychje: I cannot find any way of choosing other login modes :(. The login screen might already be suffering from tablet sickness. [14:09] askhl: you cant touch the little gear to pick another login? [14:09] There's a little gear but when I press it, it opens the onscreen keyboard instead [14:10] Then the gear is greyed out and pressing it has no effect [14:10] when I try to reinstall (k)ubuntu 20.04 over 19.04 on a machine with lvm, I'm getting a warning during the manual partitioning that says "The following partitions are going to be formatted: LVM VG data, LV swap as swap", even though I just specified ext4 and the old mount point for all the partitions and didn't check anything in the "format?" column -- what does it mean?

[14:15] askhl: try unity desktop + bios update [14:15] !biosupdate | askhl [14:15] askhl: To see how to update your bios on Ubuntu visit the community collected methods here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate [14:15] Thanks, it'll have to be later though (something about food) [14:15] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/370991/debian-installer-mentioned-that-unused-lvm-vg-and-lv-will-be-formatted is the closest to my problem that I was able to find, but it's not very helpful. I'm also considering unplugging the two disks that are under lvm during the reinstall (I'll be reinstalling on a third disk that is not under lvm), but I'm not sure if that will cause other problems (e.g. mess up the lvm configuration and make the partitions [14:15] inaccessible) [14:16] Again thank you for all the help.

[14:45] im on windows, they don't show up [14:46] they don't display in fireefox [14:46] you might need to install some unicode font then [14:46] * ComputerTech is on windows as well [14:47] maby ask in ##windows [14:48] *mabye [14:49] or #firefox [14:49] <_< [14:53] ComputerTech: your port forwarding is more of a ##networking question, unless you're doing the port forwarding on an ubuntu system? [14:53] yeah i am [14:53] thats why i came here [14:54] okay, so you'll need to set up iptables rules [14:54] and an RFC1918 subnet for the LAN, assigned to the LAN interface [14:55] ok [14:55] Good day all. Does anyone know where to find a guide to installing Mint/Ubuntu with BTRFS compression? [14:55] can i ask a quick question first? [14:56] ComputerTech: this looks like a quick question, and you seem to have asked it successfully. so you can safely assume you can do so for another, too. [14:56] ok [14:56] does using mobile broadband, (ip changes all the time) affect port forwarding? [14:57] Euph0ria: this channel only supports Ubuntu installations and users. [14:58] tomreyn: Ubuntu then, of course. [14:58] ComputerTech: affect: yes, prevent: no. try to get a general understanding of ip forwarding and NAT foirst of all.

[15:29] max12345: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" just installs all updates including new packages (like kernels). It does not upgrade you to a new release. [15:35] that's unless you edited sources.list to point to a different release. but then you'd be doing it wrong. [15:53] ok, so it appears my new laptop doesn't unsuspend when opening the lid, and appears it doesn't save battery; where is a good place to look for probelms [15:58] :q [16:00] Upon running ' fwupdmgr update ' I get " failed to write data to efivarfs: Error writing to file descriptor: Input/output error ". Any idea how to debug this? [16:05] hi === vlm_ is now known as vlm [16:17] sup RERO [16:18] How do I in one command log into my laptop via ssh and run a command to the X server on my laptop to launch an application on my laptop? [16:20] isene, I think you just type your command at the end of the ssh connection command, see the manpage. [16:20] isene, You may need to add: DISPLAY=:0.0 before your command. [16:20] titular_human: long gone [16:20] :) [16:21] isene: ssh -Yf [16:21] You right [16:21] Or whatever is your Xserver, it maybe just :0 or :0.1, check it: echo $DISPLAY on the xserver(not on ssh or tty). [16:21] didn't even notice :\ [16:23] isene: ignore my suggestion, that would be to run the application on the connecting machine [16:24] or more properly said, to display it on the connecting machine [16:26] akemhp: OK, so let's say I do this: I issue a an ssh command, adding "./script" and in that script, I want to issue a command to open e.g. zathura on that PC. What should the command inside that script then be? [16:27] most likely just 'DISPLAY=:0.0 zathura' [16:27] hi guys, is there a way to cache a ppa add in squid or so ? [16:28] '& disown' if you want to detach the process. (or use nohup, whichever works better) [16:50] akemhp: OK - almost got the setup working, I have the script on my PC with simply this "DISPLAY=:0 zathura &". Whwn I ssh to my PC from Termux on my mobile and then run the script, it indeed fires up zathura on my PC. But if I run ' ssh user@pc /home/user/script ' it goes into an ssh session and reports " sh: 2: /home/user/script: not found " ...which I find weird [16:52] isene, Can't tell since it works on your mobile, maybe on the PC you need a flag or something...I never tried something like this. [16:54] isene, you want -f as a paramater in that ssh command [16:54] s/paramater/parameter/ [16:54] Hello how do I start "check disk for defects" again when booting up? [16:55] hello everyone [16:56] could someone recommend me a gui file search tool with that i can search for files for example modified in the year 2010 till 2011? Or is there a way to do this type of search with nautilus, too? [16:56] shadow255: Where does the -f command go? Could you spell out the command for me? [16:57] 'ssh -f user@pc /home/user/script' [16:58] shadow255: Then I get " Cannot fork i to background without a command to execute. " [16:58] isene: hmm, let me check man page [17:00] isene: my mistake [17:01] isene: you need to double-check your path/script name, I see no reason for the error you received [17:01] shadow255: The full usecase is this: I fire up a Ruby script in Termux on my mobile that in a voice asks "SSH to what address?" I then tell my mobile the address. The script transforms that spoken address (via termux-speech-to-text) to an ssh command that is supposed to ssh into my PC and run a script that launces stuff on my PC and then disconnects the ssh connection. It's a poor man's voice [17:01] control of a PC [17:02] isene: it may actually be best in your case not to try to specify full path for the script [17:04] isene: try 'ssh user@pc ~/script' instead perhaps [17:07] I found the issue - it is tryoing to run the script ON MY MOBILE - instead of on my PC (and since the script resides on my PC, it obviously doesn't find it on my mobile" [17:08] So, how do I run a script on the DESTINATION after an ssh connection is established? [17:09] isene: I am a bit perplexed, because according to man pages the command you have should run in the context of the remote machine [17:10] shadow255: That is what perplexes me as well. But I have a hunch. Lemme check a few things [17:17] Hello I'm helping someone here, can someone tell me what this means? https://www1.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=19452688 , can you still install ubuntu on broken hardware like this? It doesn't look healthy I know... [17:17] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception [17:34] I have a Dell G3 and used Ubuntu 18.04 for over a year with no issues at all. I upgraded to 20.04 and it freezes constantly now. I've tried three different nvideo drivers including the latest 450-beta and it just keeps happening. I'm not sure what to look at next [17:35] jorvis, for what videocard? [17:36] seen lots of issues with the newest 450 driver and older cards, that should use 340 [17:37] GeForce(R) GTX 1660 Ti [17:37] After updating to 450 driver it locks on login screen every time now [17:39] oke, 1660, you might want to try newer drivers from the driver-ppa, https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers [17:39] 450.66-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 [17:40] Trying to figure out how to get to a terminal now. Locks on login screen, can't CTRL-alt-F1 or any others [17:42] How can I see which driver is being used from the command line? [17:43] jorvis: lshw -c video [17:44] sudo ubuntu-drivers list // lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' [17:44] i would just add the ppa and upgrade [17:45] To my knowlege that's how I got the 450 driver installed [17:46] EriC^^: In that command I see the driver listed as nvidia but nothing about version. Also there are two displays: the 1660 and another "UHD Graphics 630" [17:47] oh then you do not run the 450-beta [17:48] ubuntu-drivers list shows 418-server, 450, 440-server and 435, but no indication of which is active [17:49] oerheks: Your command shows to lines of 'in use': i915 and nvidia [17:49] Do I need to blacklist nouveau? [17:50] jorvis: hmm "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" might show which package version is currently installed [17:51] Eric^^: That gives 56 lines of output. Many entries for nvidia versions 390, 440 and 450 [17:51] And 435 [17:52] jorvis: try dpkg -l | awk '$1 =="ii" && "$2 ~ /nvidia/' [17:54] Got runaway string on that, but if I changed "$2 to just be $2 it still shows 46 lines of output [17:55] sorry [17:55] jorvis: dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "ii" && $2 ~ /nvidia/' [17:55] Oh - the third column on almost all of them references 450.66 though [17:56] The only ones which don't are nvidia-prime (0.8.14) and the kernel itself (5.4.0) [17:56] oh [17:57] jorvis: which one is recommended in 'sudo ubuntu-driver devices' ? [17:58] nvidia-driver-450 - third-party free recommended [17:59] (I really appreciate the help, btw) [17:59] jorvis: hmm, try 'apt-cache policy ubuntu-driver-450' [18:00] Unable to locate package. Did you mean nvidia-driver-450? [18:00] ah sorry, yes [18:00] Says a bit there, what am I looking for? Shows that the installed is 450.66 and that it came from ppa.launchpad.net/graphics-drivers .... [18:01] oh ok [18:01] so the ppa one is installed currently [18:03] jorvis: nvidia 440 is coming up in some threads that it works well with the 20.04, but for the 1650 and likely the 1660 too [18:03] did you try the 440 version? [18:03] Yes, and it did better but still froze almost daily [18:06] nvidia says 418 and higher.. [18:07] jorvis: hmm it seems it might work with a kernel parameter according to a thread online, snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 [18:07] jorvis: it will let the sound work but will disable the microphone [18:07] not sure how that's related to the image, but in the thread on booting freezing it seems to have worked [18:07] ( https://www.dell.com/community/Linux-General/Freezing-boot-Ubuntu-20-04-Dell-G3-3590/td-p/7636916 ) [18:08] It's OK if it disables the mic as long as a headset mic can still work. Son has to use this laptop for classroom zooms [18:09] jorvis: ok, type 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub' [18:10] I'm there, where do I add nd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0 ? [18:11] jorvis: in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash snd_hda_intel.dmic_detect=0" [18:12] note the s before nd at the start [18:13] then save and exit with ctrl+x and run "sudo update-grub" [18:17] OK, after doing that I was able to get past the login screen [18:17] I'll leave it up and see what happens, thanks! [18:19] jorvis: great! no problem [18:32] hi i need help setting up an NFS share [18:34] do i first need to configure for a static IP address? [18:34] or can it be looked up by hostname? [18:34] m0th3rsup3r10r, did you find our great wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo and https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-nfs [18:34] it helps or control the dhcp so it give the ip to the same name [18:35] yes, i would use a service with a static ip [18:38] how is that IP number determined in export? 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async) [18:41] in the example on that page [18:42] is that the address of the router or the server . . . [18:44] server [18:44] you see that howto is how to setup a nfs server for your internal network [18:55] hey, I just upgraded and it broke my wallpaper. SVG doesn't get strechted as it should be. How do I fix it? [19:29] ok, so fresh install of 20.04.1 on new amd laptop; when I "suspend" the screen goes blank but leaves a single _ character in the top left corner [19:33] kenperkins, did you follow the wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-autosuspend.html.en ---- https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/power-suspendfail.html.en [19:34] ty @oerheks I'll look, no i didn't know where to start [19:41] @oerheks looks like it does correctly suspend and wake up, but it doesn't suspend when the lid is closed; where would I find settings for that [19:45] kenperkins: settings > power maybe [19:57] !discuss [19:57] Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [20:08] Long-time KDE user, but force to Gnome for SilverBlue. I notice that my user is a sudoer. Whenever anything asks for verification it wants my user's password, not root's. If I edit sudoers and take my user out, will the system then default to asking for root's password, like God intended? [20:10] quantum, if that was the case you might as well `su -c' `man su' [20:10] the point of using sudo is to avoid using the root account, so it escalates the user temporarily for the specific command. In short, no. [20:11] Seems like ppl aren't understanding the goal. [20:11] quantum, you could go: `alias sudo2='su -c'' I'm 38% sure that would work [20:11]
