 @Scott Johnson, Networkin' down post recent update‽
 More info, did you try this from a system with network/internet access?
 hmm
 probs a different issue. the one I had post update to 5.8, various drivers absent, post manual installation, resolved. Admittedly no pleased, I runt the LTS release to avoid these issues.
 first instance 'sudo apt update'
 Mine too, [ALt]+[F2] Konsole
 'uname -r'
 kernel version number,  if your issue is a similar case of missing drivers, then once version identified, one can install them & utilise them
 (Photo, 798x636) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/iJPvPQfN/file_40579.jpg either 'uname -r' and a terminal or KInfo
 @Scott Johnson, De rien, bon soir

[10:47] <niwla23-M> hi
[12:17] <pol> Ihave a problem. When I turn on my acer,linux,ubuntu, in screen it says "no bootable device" and I don't use my computer
[13:01] <oops> I need to rebuild my 19.10 sources list but have no idea how
[13:47] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[16:03] <Maik> @sammy_v i hope they still keep the old style to switch to, this starts to look a bit too much like windows 10
 @Maik, Yes good point raised by you.
[17:45] <derry> Hey anyone with sys knowhow have 10 min to try help me figure out why something always keeps lagging my system till if I open more than about 10 windows it'll hang. Somtimes I can kill whatever's eating the CPU, but then something else takes over.. now nothing killing the cpu but 5 windows of Brave, a term, this konversation and the software installer.. anyone?  Been going for weeks, and I've wrecked my backups so almost about to reinstall..
[18:03] <derry> help w 18.04 slow, hard hang if i get over 8 or 9 windows..?
[18:07] <slicktux> Anyone else loose their WiFi drivers and unable to startx after latest update?
[18:19] <derry> i pulled mine from the windows installer.. but they are rtk and 2 - 1 for 2.4 & 1 for 5.0.. and have at least one other rtk chip on my raid controller.. and cant open more than 8 or so windows lately ar it slows to a hard lock, and still slow before that with 12GB RAM, & 48GB swap on an SSD, and added a 2nd 48 GB swap on a different SSD a few days ago  to see if it'd  help.. and a 6/12 core extreme CPU....
[18:22] <tomreyn> derry: start by showing us a kernel log: journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999
[18:23] <derry> tomreyn: Thank you! ... sec
[18:24] <derry> root@AI7:/home/derry# journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999
[18:24] <derry> https://termbin.com/3dpt
[18:27] <tomreyn> derry: /dev/sda is possibly a broken disk
[18:27] <tomreyn> see the end of your log
[18:28] <tomreyn> "Medium Error", "Aborted Command" etc.
[18:29] <tomreyn> you can     sudo apt install smartmontools     and run     sudo smartctl -x /dev/sda    and get help with interpreting the output
[18:31] <tomreyn> derry: also sdb2 contains a broken fat file system, run fsck against it to try to recover data
[18:32] <tomreyn> and finally your keyboard's USB cable may be broken
[18:32] <derry> it is getting old, but not like the CPU is like 14 yrs oldsmartmontools  is newest but there's a Ton of auto-installed no longer required packages...
[18:33] <tomreyn> focus on solving hardware problems first, then turn to software
[18:34] <derry> How did you figure that out? I have a few other keyboards.. but been trying not to buy new stuff to save for a $12k USD machine.. few more months...
[18:34] <tomreyn> $12k USD ?! my.
[18:34] <tomreyn> that must be the latest apple laptop
[18:34] <derry> well, then $8k Quadro and a MB with room for  a 2nd
[18:35] <tomreyn> the log you posted reports about problems with "usb usb9-port1: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?"
[18:35] <derry> I haven't been using linux much the last 15 years or so.. just playing... till my win 7 license ran out..
[18:36] <tomreyn> but then, for a shoirt time, it succeeds to enable the device there: "usb 9-1: Product: Lenovo Black Silk USB Keyboard"
[18:36] <derry> ya.. I also have a couple external USB HD's
[18:37] <derry> every time I boot, it looks good, but on the last screen that I see for like 1/10 of a second I see a few errors too fast to read..
[18:38] <tomreyn> sda is a WDC WD20 EARX-00PASB0
[18:38] <tomreyn> replace, or disconnect it, and your computer will be fast again
[18:39] <derry> I see where you're talking about
[18:40] <derry> I might have 2 plugged in
[18:40] <derry> ya, that was when SSD drives were a new thing
[18:41] <tomreyn> you have  two WDC drives connected, sda and sdb
[18:41] <tomreyn> sdc is a 240 GB KINGSTON SV300S3 BBF0, sdd is a 512 GB ADATA SX900
[18:42] <derry> ya, a couple years after I bought the system new, I bought one SSD drive and couple more years, another, those are sda  and sdb
[18:42] <tomreyn> well, you know what you need to do, right
[18:43] <user|38431> Hello everyone, I am a new Linux user. I would like discuss an issue with touchpad. When using double finger scrolling, the cursor sometimes gets dragged in the middle of the page instead of scrolling. Did anybody had this problem or know how to solve it?
[18:44] <derry> I'm thinking buy 2 new SSD drives, probably old style since I can't seem to get over 6 GT(?)/s  ...?
[18:46] <derry> but I want to keep the spending down and hopefully have the $12k in another 5 months or so.. I've never saved money before in my life... but I really want to do this AI project I have in mind..
[18:46] <tomreyn> the mainboard manual states "6 x SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports (black)", "2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports (gray)"
[18:48] <tomreyn> so fast storage media should be attached to the gray sata ports
[18:48] <derry> ya, the 2 6 Gb/s are the ones on the Realtek RAID built in that I never used.. and the old SSD drives do 6 Gb/s already, right?
[18:49] <tomreyn> the gray ones are on a Marvell 88SE9128 PCIe controller, according to your mainboard specification usmmary at https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1366/Sabertooth_X58/e5995_sabertooth_X58.pdf
[18:49] <tomreyn> so nt realtek
[18:49] <tomreyn> for hardware support, try ##hardware
[18:51] <derry> sorry, you're of course right, but there is some other realtek chip in there besides the 2 in the wifi card, I',m pretty sure..
[18:52] <tomreyn> Audio and ethernet NIC
[18:52] <tomreyn> you could probably save most of your money and instead rent a cloud system for the AI stuff just while you need it. and pass the rest to the homeless.
[18:55] <derry> I'm paranoid about working on the cloud.. I've been programming since 78 and AI since 86, and have some reasonable thoughts (to me) to write the AI.. but nobody to talk to for decades, since nobody else I know is into programming, nevermind AI..
[18:58] <derry> but if you think I could go cheaper.. I was still thinking to use this 13/14 yr old husk for print and backup server, the AI workstation will probably be as secure as I can make it.. I was into linux for years, but started with kernel 0.98 if memory serves..
[19:01] <derry> my plan seems rational and I've been going over it for years.. but with nobody to even bounce ideas off for sanity checks..
[19:03] <derry> but I *totally* appreciate your help.. it's been a pain using parts everywhere.. I have like 10 1TB drives lying around, and a number of bigger ones and a bunch of smaller ones..
[19:06] <tomreyn> i'm sure you can find AI folks here on freenode. start by bringing it up on the channel of your favourite programming language or ML / AI framework
[19:06] <tomreyn> but we're OT
[19:07] <tomreyn> there'S also #kubuntu-offtopic
[19:14] <derry> I went to AAAI 87 annual in Seattle w/ instructor and some classmates bummed a ride.. recently found out there's a  Canadian (CAAI?) that also (now anyway) has annuals, and lucky, next is in May, here in Vancouver, so maybe I'll finally meet people I can talk with in person after a decade or two with noone to really chat with, but I was brought up basically socially isolated, and so not so great at social..
[19:27] <derry> I've dabbled in a couple dozen languages, 6502 asm was my fav, but I totally ....  oh ya, sorry, OT. I'll check others a bit later.. just got the irc client installed.. used to use BitchX.. opps.. I'll shut up. But Thank you so much again. It's been weeks or a month or 2, and you probably nailed in in like 2 minutes... thank you sincerely - Andrew
[20:10] <derry> Would you - Or Anyone(?) be willing to try to figure out how to fix the package repositories that I broke (installing stuff (Nvidia cuda drivers and couple others) that you have to add repositories for) and wrecked it so it always complains now, but still mostly works...? about 4 lines re skipping xxx as repository doesn't provide (misspelt?) and Skipping ... doesn't support arch. 'i386' I'm sure your time is valuable so I understand if not..
[20:10] <derry> never knew time could be valuable till some years back..
[20:19] <Quantos> Hi guys, I need some help.  KUbuntu 20.4.1 LTS x64
[20:19] <Quantos> Why does my audio keep defaulting to the TU106?
[20:19] <Quantos> How can I disable or remove that?
[20:20] <Quantos> Every time I turn on a monitor it keeps stealing the audio from my soundcard
[20:24] <derry> maybe plug it into a different HDMI (not AHC(?)) - not sure
[20:24] <Quantos> I don't use any audio through my graphics connections
[20:24] <Quantos> I have better speakers than my monitors do
[20:25] <derry> you don't use HDMI on a port labelled with AHC?
[20:26] <Quantos> When I run lspci -vv I see this for audio https://pastebin.com/M95fSAZk
[20:26] <Quantos> No, I don't, all of my monitors are Display Port
[20:27] <Quantos> I make it sound like I have so many of them, only three
[20:28] <Quantos> I'm just wondering if I really need to recompile the kernel or if there's an easier to block that
[20:29] <Quantos> Or if there's an easier WAY to block that
[20:29] <derry> sorry, it's stb/dvi not ahc... but not sure if display ports do that..
[20:29] <Quantos> Should I try it with HDMI and test?
[20:30] <derry> and sorry if that's not it.. that was my only thought.. you could.. just not the stb/dvi one.. though I could be confused and you might try a couple to be sure
[20:31] <Quantos> Okay, it's worth a shot, I have the cables so it might be better than a recompile
[20:31] <Quantos> Thanks for your input derry
[20:31] <derry> cause I think onlu one usually does it (on HDMI)
[20:31] <derry> g'luck
[20:32] <anatoliy> hi
[20:32] <Quantos> Thanks derry, I'll let you know what my results are
[20:32] <anatoliy> hey guys whois techy here
[20:32] <anatoliy> q about ubuntu budgie
[20:32] <Quantos> Depends on your question, give as much information as you can anatoliy
[20:32] <Quantos> And then be patient
[20:33] <anatoliy> ok, so im running a i-5 core laptop with 4 gigs ram brand new installed budgie ubuntu and its super slow
[20:34] <anatoliy> 5 or more firefox tabs it get stuck
[20:35] <derry> add as much ram as you can. If u don't have SSD drive, it will make it like 5 times faster.
[20:36] <anatoliy> i got 4 gigs shiould that be plenny for linux ubuntu'
[20:36] <anatoliy> even enough for windows 7
[20:39] <derry> ya i thought the same w 12 gigs of tripple channel, bu had almost 200 wins/tabs on win7 but 30-40 was killing linux till i configured it right..
[20:40] <derry> but an Old laptop w 2GB did go about 5x faster just by swappung the HD for an SSD
[20:41] <anatoliy__>  backc
[20:42] <derry> ya i thought the same w 12 gigs of tripple channel, bu had almost 200 wins/tabs on win7 but 30-40 was killing linux till i configured it right..
[20:42] <derry> but an Old laptop w 2GB did go about 5x faster just by swappung the HD for an SSD
[20:42] <derry> sorry missed u left
[20:45] <anatoliy__> hey can h elp me find the darkweb
[20:45] <anatoliy__> any tytpe
[20:46] <anatoliy__> thx
[20:54] <derry> Quantos: back when I started using Linux about Kernel 0.98, possibly 0.99.. aside from downloading 35 3.5" "floppies" you had to recompile the kernel every time you installed.. still not totally used to this module and snap stuff...
[20:55] <anatoliy__> hey
[20:55] <anatoliy__> do u guys recomend ubuntu or budgie
[20:56] <anatoliy__> do u guys know god
[20:58] <anatoliy__> this is kubuntu
[20:58] <anatoliy__> chat is there a linux one
[21:00] <derry> never tried budgie, bu ubuntu seemed quite popular... let me no what its like if you try it..  I've got so much ancient hardware I reinstalled 18.04 LTS about 7 or more times and 20.04 a couple times before I slapped myself and used timeshift to make a solid post-install restore point. (20.04 LTS maybe me, but seemed buggy.. maybe tried too early.. but this is probably OT, sorry
[21:03] <anatoliy__> i like it
[21:03] <anatoliy__> its pretty simple and stuff
[21:05] <derry> if there is a god it may have smiled at me once, per se. but u refer to something else?  Whats different about kubuntu?
[21:08] <derry> chat tons, depending on yer requirements/desires... like end to end encryption, certified, open src, email, msg, sms, phone, video, basicly all platforms.. thought this is great, then noticed a bunch of others..
[21:12] <anatoliy__> god meaning higher power mr. know it all
[21:15] <Quantos> Yeah, same derry
[21:15] <Quantos> Okay, I managed to blacklist the intel sound
[21:15] <Quantos> Now I get audio through my headset, but still not my speakers
[21:16] <Quantos> I'm going to try using an analog out instead of SPDIF
[21:29] <Quantos> Nothing
