[00:15] hello! I am using ubuntu 20.04 on a Thinkpad P43s, I have been experiencing very odd overheating issues [00:15] at boot up, doing nothing at all, the cpu goes from 70 to 79 degrees in 10 minutes [00:16] after prolonged use, even doing light tasks (~4 tabs open in firefox, 1 terminal, slack) the cpu temps will quickly reach the 90's and often shuts itself off at the 100 degree threshold [00:17] I cannot see any particular program or process thats killing my laptop, all my cores are only at about 5 - 25% usage [00:18] checked the hardware? heatsink full of dust, loose heatsink? [00:19] kaiser, how old is this thing? after a couple of years often the thermal compound dries out and stops working [00:20] i cannot open this laptop (corporate policy). I received it from IT after the last thinkpad they gave me randomly had its disk wiped. as far as i know this thing is super clean and honestly feelsl ike it hasnt been used before me [00:20] But i do see a proc taking 47% cpu according to htop [00:20] /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /sbin/update-secureboot-policy --enroll-ley [00:21] is the proc command thats taking 47% cpu and only 0.1% of my ram [00:21] running as root, been apprently running for 12 hours despite my uptime only being 27 minutes... [00:21] oh that is minutes nevermind [00:21] uptime is 12 minutes for that proc [00:24] after killing that process all cpu cores are down to just 2 - 7% usage [00:25] wow [00:25] killing that proc made my temps drop by 19 degrees [00:26] its still toast as fuck, but at least its not gonna shut off [00:26] its stil dropping, 22 degrees now [00:27] that sounds pretty warm [00:27] ye its running at 58c instead of 90c though [00:28] 54c now, nice [00:29] my amazing freebsd laptop always ran at like high 30s, low 40s degrees so i guess for a ubuntu machine with 2 gpu's in it, thats not bad [00:33] 90c isn't unusual for a laptop, they prioritize fan noise over cooling. the cpus are rated to 100c or so and (should) thermal throttle to hold the temperature around 90-100c [00:55] guaje: go to advanced options in grub, then choose the latest kernel that says recovery in it [00:57] then go to 'drop to root shell' at the bottom, hit enter to get a shell, and type "mount -o remount,rw /" then you can free space as usual [00:57] I don't seem to get anything back [00:58] after you type mount -o remount... ? [00:58] sup guys [00:58] yes [00:58] guaje: yes that's normal, it only remounts the filesystem in read-write mode, then you can delete files [00:59] guaje: which filesystem is full? try "df -h" [01:02] I don't see the disc there EriC^^ [01:03] guaje: is anything there very full? [01:05] guaje: look at the usage next to "/" [01:05] no, the name of my rpool disk instead of 256 appears as 13 g and 5.6 used, I don't understand anything [01:06] the faults I have been able to note are : Initramfs unpacking failed: Decoding failed & system[847] : /usr/lib/system-generators/zfs-mount-generator failed with exit status 1 [01:09] this seems related https://github.com/ubuntu/zsys/issues/98 [01:10] guaje: initially you said that the hdd got full, the OS froze then it wouldn't boot anymore, correct? just refreshing my memory [01:10] yes [01:10] perfect [01:11] guaje: try "zpool import -a" [01:12] cant not import bpool ... [01:12] are you able now to see the disk and free space etc? [01:13] pool was prev in use for other.. last acc unknown use zpool impoert -f [01:13] import [01:13] said me [01:14] no, I don't see anything, the error message was that [01:15] test -f ? [01:16] no idea guaje, the manual says it forces to import even if it appears to be potentially active, i'd not run it til somebody can confirm what to do, i dont know much about zfs myself [01:18] guaje: i have to get to bed, it's pretty late here, somebody here might know how to fix the issue, you can try asking in ##linux and also #zfs [01:18] with the f now appears to me bpool online, what will follow ? [01:18] ohhhh ok thank you very much [01:18] good night [01:19] guaje: ah great, i guess you have to free space then, if space isn't the issue of starting, then have a look at the /var/log/syslog to see what's happening when booting or boot without "quiet splash" in the kernel line of grub, and use instead "ignore_loglevel debug" [01:21] guaje: no problem, thanks you too [01:24] Don't worry, at the rate I'm going, I'll be there tomorrow with the problem, it has to be the language, I don't understand your message well, I'm in the terminal and I don't know how to delete any rpool file [01:25] but I'm going to read the link you passed me because my problem is with pools === BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK_ [01:34] only getting about 100-400 kBps from archive.ubuntu.com... is that normal? [01:34] I have 100/100Mbps internet [01:35] I am using WSL if that matters [01:39] WSL is not Linux. === Mibixy is now known as Mibix [01:40] ..yes it is [01:40] that is not the problem, regardless [01:41] Get:38 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 [01:41] still gets packages from the same source, which is my problem [01:42] WSL no, is not. [01:42] WSL2 actually involves a Linux kernel, WSL does not. [01:42] I'm running wsl2 [01:44] 444MB somehow finished in a few minutes of downloading, I guess it's fine === PowerTower_121 is now known as PowerTower_120 [02:38] in zfs list appears in field name : rpool/USERDATA and as mount point /home/myuser when I go there nothing there. [02:46] guaje: this may help you see the state of the mounts: zfs list -ocanmount,mounted,name,mountpoint [02:46] thanks [02:48] I see the mounting points but when I go there is no data, I have been all day with the zfs and the pools [02:50] it's of course possible that a new, empty, directory has been mounted over your dataset, and it's possible there's just plain no files inthe dataset [02:51] and something could be done? [02:55] i ran out of space in ubuntu 20 bye bye my info, i just have to be aware, i lost a lot === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin [03:03] guaje: well, it depends what happened; do you have snapshots? have you send the dataset to another pool for backups? what actually did happen to your data? there's just a lot of open questions still [03:05] excuse me, i've been trying to access a personal pc for 24 hours because it has run out of space in the hd, after hours of fighting with zfs and rpools i can't manage to mount that part of the disk to delete some document sarnold [03:06] guaje: ohhhhhhh. *that* sounds like bad news. :( [03:06] guaje: so, your pool is FULL? [03:07] I don't really know how to respond, [03:07] yes and no, or , I don't know [03:08] I am a "rookie" [03:09] one site tells me that there is 7% left but my user, although I don't see it in the info rpool, I know that it is full to the last byte [03:10] now I'm trying again from the live usb [03:10] guaje: what does zpool list show? [03:11] How can I pass it on to you so you can see it? [03:11] my disc and its mounting points [03:17] guaje: you can paste it into https://paste.ubuntu.com/ -- or use the pastebinit package to do the same thing [03:23] from a live usb zfs list shows me : no datasets available, I can only do it from grub recovery terminal and from there I don't know how to do it [03:24] it's me, I'm logged in as when eric helped me before to send information === jeddo- is now known as jeddo [03:25] now I can't think of anything else but taking pictures [03:28] guaje: ah, try zpool import then ? [03:30] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/thQpK5d2SP/ [03:32] guaje: okay, something like mkdir /old ; zpool import -R /old bpool ; zpool import -R /old rpool [03:32] guaje: I'm confused why they both say ONLINE though [03:36] Hi All. How to install Secret Maryo Chronicles on Ubuntu 20.04 [03:38] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/72Csv4TqRj/ [03:40] guaje: a bunchof the commands are missing the -R to tell it to use an alternate root; and I'm very scared of the -f use .. [03:41] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8Jf9cpX4sr/ [03:42] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8BRPrSRQ3j/ [03:48] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ByZJbgGNfx/ zfs list sarnold [03:50] oh wow, those are interesting dataset names, were those chosen by the installer or smoething else? [03:51] solved sarnold EriC^^ [03:51] guaje: yay? [03:52] I am inside, I see my documents, there is only one rm left to some file and I hope that will fix everything [03:53] guaje: nice :) [03:53] let me thank you for your help and that of the others throughout the day, before trying, I have been at it for 24 hours, if I manage to fix it it would be wonderful sarnold [03:54] guaje: this does say AVAIL 7.42G on all of them though, I'd expect things to mostly work fine.. [03:54] what does zpool list report for capacity? [04:01] Right now I am with a smile copying the important files to a pen, then I will save the system if I can sarnold [04:02] thank you billions [04:05] guaje: yes! good idea ;) I'm glad it's working out :D [04:05] guaje: have fun :) === vlm_ is now known as vlm [04:06] =D [04:08] !cookie | sarnold [04:08] sarnold: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:08] yay! cookies! :D [04:08] nomnomnomnom [04:09] : ) [04:11] today i am helped by many people i am eternally grateful to this channel [04:12] the magic of the ubuntu community guaje17 [04:21] regarding the system, it still doesn't start, it's in the splash, the Initrams error doesn't appear anymore but it still shows a system[847] : /usr/lib/system-generators/zfs-mount-generator failed with exit status 1 [04:57] About hibernation & swap... I have 6 GB RAM. I will have a swap partition for its usual purpose, but want to hibernate as well. To hibernate, RAM -> SWAP. But what if RAM + Swap used for paging > Unused swap? Should I have a second swap partition just for hibernation that's > RAM + Paging swap? How to set up? [04:57] Why would swap be hibernated? [04:57] It's retains its contents unless you destroy the file afaik [04:58] Just make your swap partition at least the same size as ram or larger [04:59] you may also find ZRAM helpful [04:59] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.html [05:02] Hash: Suppose I have 6 GB RAM & am paging an extra 4 GB because I should really have at least 10 GB for what I'm doing, but don't. My Swap partition is 9 GB, so 4 GB used up acting as slow RAM. That leaves 5 GB, which is less than the 6 GB of real RAM I have. I think that if I try to hibernate in that situation ->> ?? bad ?? [05:02] I think perhaps you may have misunderstood the function of swap [05:03] Give me sec to type up [05:04] https://askubuntu.com/questions/6769/hibernate-and-resume-from-a-swap-file check this out in the meantime [05:05] Hash: How so? Thanks for explaining. [05:05] alazy: yes, for hibernation you need to have as much disk space at least as much ram [05:06] so if you have 5gb swap, and 6gb ram, you will have an issue [05:06] I don't make partitions but instead use swap files [05:06] same function [05:09] alazy: what is the output of your swapon -s [05:11] Hash: I'll use a swap partition, although I don't think that'll matter much. Suppose my swap partition is 9 GB and RAM is 6. If the system isn't using swap or maybe even if it's using 3 GB of swap, there is enough unused swap to hold the contents of RAM and hibernate. If I hibernate with 6 GB RAM and 4 GB swap used and a 9 GB swap partition, where will the OS keep the 6 GB of RAM safe while powered [05:11] alazy: if your swap size is greater than 6gb, you can hibernate. You have 9gb SWAP, and you have 6gb ram. For hibernatio you need 6GB swap. If you are paging 4gb, and that 4gb is in swap, you won't have enough room to hibernate. I dont know what linux does in that situation [05:11] off? [05:11] Will linux chuc out some part of your swap to make room to hibernate? [05:11] I don't know what the kernel will do in this situation [05:11] Hash: no swapon output to share. I'm about to set up a system, not installed yet. [05:12] Hash: Ok, well my question was about that situation. Thanks anyway. [05:12] Just get 6gb to match your ram, and extra 4gb for your swap to page out the extra 4gb [05:12] If you are low on disk space, and can't do 10gb swap, then I don't know what the kernel will do [05:12] I updated some packages before the problem, searching I realize that /usr/lib/system-generators doesn't exist so zfs-mount-generator gives error and doesn't start the system [05:12] You can try to ask in #kernel [05:13] is ubuntu 20.04 [05:13] Hash: I'll can't know with certainty how much swap I'll actually need and want to ensure I'll be able to hibernate. [05:13] I use a huge swap. [05:14] /home/.swapfile file 2G 1.8G -3 [05:14] /home/stoned/kalel/.swapfile file 16G 0B -4 [05:14] So I thought maybe one swap for paging, at 4 GB, and another exclusively for hibernation at 10 GB, but I don't know how to configure that. [05:14] That's my swap on ssd [05:14] I use about 18gb swap file [05:14] and I tell my swappiness to swap a lot. [05:15] alazy: doyou mean swap files? easy [05:15] Do you have enough disk space? [05:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_a_swap_file.3F [05:15] it seems that after a small update it interrupts the start looking for /usr/lib/system-generators but now it is called zfs-linux, how can I rebuild the iniframs and the zfs-mount-generator ? [05:16] https://bpa.st/2JCA alazy [05:17] That's two zram devices, it may help if you're low on ram. [05:17] I can uusally squeeze out another gb of ram cuz it usually offer 2:1 compression [05:18] say I ahve 8gb ram. I take 1 gb and make 2x 512mb block devices in ram, so when it needs to page, intead of disk, it pages to a ramdisk in ram which is also compressed [05:18] using lza [05:18] Since ram is faster access, this technique using the zram makes it so you can get a bit of extra ram out of your machine [05:19] When zram devices in ram get full, it pages normally out to disk [05:19] Right now I have a 18gb swap space. 15% is used. So you can imagine [05:20] /dev/zram0 partition 512M 0B 100 [05:20] Since I just started the zram devices, there's nothing in them. Which also I don't know what happens to RAM if you create zram devices [05:21] Does it take ram, page it out, then make room for zram? I imagine. Otherwise it's probalby destroying the contents [05:21] \o/ Anyway [05:25] Hash: I'll look into zram. I inherited what was a high-end pc c.2010 except very little RAM. That might help. Thanks [05:25] I have a pc form that era [05:26] my desktop is from 2010, core 2, 8gb [05:26] I use zram [05:36] Hiya, does anyone have a recommendation for a USB 3 PCIe card that'll work with Ubuntu? I've got one that's running the VIA chipset (VL805) and I keep running into frequent disconnects and other weird behavior. [06:11] !hardware | CharlesA [06:11] CharlesA: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [06:12] CharlesA: another good idea when some hardware doesnt play out of the box on ubuntu, is filing a new !bug or affect an existing bug, so the devs know about [06:57] any idea why my screenshot trigger off of print screen is slow? [06:57] strace [07:00] morning * [07:01] * Jari-- is running latest Ubuntu 20 .. Windows 10 failed to install on this PC (HP G6 255) [07:01] Hash: about zram... does it work for swap partitions too? memory compression in RAM helps, but since a CPU can only (de)compress so fast, wouldn't it allow for a greater proportional speedup on swap? I/O is the bottleneck so if zram's compression reduced the amount that needs to be read/written to disk, that would speed up swap by more than the compression slows it down, no? Am I correct that ZRAM [07:01] on RAM -> slightly slower, but more RAM, while ZRAM on SWAP -> faster and more SWAP? [07:03] alazy: compression is a CPU overhead [07:03] loads it a great deal [07:05] Jari--: yes, but if the CPU is mostly idle while it waits for memory to be swapped in from disk, then using compression with zram on hdd swap should speed things up, I think. [07:07] Just found zswap I'll read about it... [07:07] alazy: are you low on RAM? [07:07] 8 gigs here, and Ubuntu almost never uses it all [07:08] Jari--: 6GB, and I'll certainly use it all. I'm thinking of all I can do to mitigate that short of spending money on a new machine. zram, zswap, network swap over NBD & gigabit ethernet... [08:05] Does anyone know if there is a shortcut key for switching between Japanese and English input? I can't find it [08:06] I think I'm using Mozc [08:07] If I go to Tools -> Properties it shows settings, but the UI doesn't adapt to high screen resolutions and everything is smooshed together such that I can't read it [08:24] ddubya i am back [08:29] i still have the same problems as yesterday (no animations, low performance, driver not loaded, etc/) [09:01] lambdaguy101: try to blacklist nouvea driver if you install nvidia driver ---> http://ix.io/2GHd [09:02] ledeni: Yes I guess it is a solution [09:02] ledeni give me a sec [09:03] now i reboot?

Are there any distributions with non-free drivers like for example for Debian? [10:45] uhh... this channel is for ubuntu support [10:45] like here https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ [10:45] lambdaguy101 yes, I mean are there any for Ubuntu? [10:45] as you can see although they are unoficcial but hey are in official Debian repo [10:45] doesn't ubuntu allow you to install 3rd party software during installation? [10:46] and drivers. and after installation from the terminal or the snap store [10:46] idk, never tried it, just checking before installation so I don't waste time reinstalling [10:47] reinstalling and trying to make devices work you know [10:47] I like Debian, but it requires so much fine tuning, I am tired to start my day fixing stuff and making it work [10:48] you can use ubuntu. it's basically debian but better [10:48] almost better* [10:48] and very often - you fix one thing another brakes [10:49] true [10:49] i managed to get ubuntu working but then nvidia video drivers don't load [10:50] did you try modeset 0? [10:50] how can i do that [10:51] you need to add nouveau.modeset=0 in a grub options for linux image [10:52] uhh [10:52] but first you need to install nvidia drivers, check their website [10:52] i did [10:52] i have nvidia-driver-455 [10:52] so now you need to disable nouveau driver [10:52] how [10:53] since it's loading on boot you need to alter grub flags [10:53] how [10:54] reactDev843 [10:54] try this https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-disable-blacklist-nouveau-nvidia-driver-on-ubuntu-20-04-focal-fossa-linux [10:59] rebooting my pc [10:59] alrighty [10:59] so resolution is 1920x1080, let me see anything else [10:59] nope [10:59] still not loaded [11:00] try this in terminal nvidia-settings --version [11:00] `btw does code works here?` [11:00] version 440.82 [11:00] yeah code works [11:00] on kiwiirc it works fien [11:00] fine* [11:01] give me the full output plz [11:01] `lspci | grep VGA` also try this as well [11:01] https://juicepaste.herokuapp.com/ZJYD2g4t90 [11:02] the website is safe in case you're wondering [11:03] `01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050] (rev a1)` [11:03] did you try just launching nvidia-settings ?
