The keyboard and touchpad and touch screen don't function, so I wonder if anyone has a ppa compiled module that could be inserted at boot time for this functionality? [02:31] ubuntU rahter [02:31] rather [02:33] Firefishe: Don't have experience with that model but I know it's generally difficult on those devices [02:33] you can check here and see if they're working on it [02:33] https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface [02:34] skoobasteeve: Thank you. === pasiz8 is now known as pasiz [03:27] hello [03:30] Hi [03:30] how are you? [03:30] good [03:30] itchy [03:31] i feel that. try calamine lotion [03:34] skoobasteeve: Well, I read up a bit. I'm compiling a custom kernel now. Wish me luck. I haven't done this in about a decade. [03:34] i have no idea how to do it, since im new to computers. Sounds fun [03:35] skoobasteeve: I'm just hoping the modules load properly at boot time. [03:35] fair enough [03:35] england_bound: Are you talking to me? [03:36] Too bad. I wanted to tell him/her/they to try compiling a kernel. It's fun and frustrating.

[08:05] wwwi: be aware that you also most likely can't use it on a home connection [08:08] ducasse, I see, useful information, thank you. [08:09] ducasse, what kind of connection do I need? [08:09] wwwi: most isps block the necessary ports on home connections and the ip ranges are blacklisted, so you need a business connection or a rented server [08:10] ducasse, I see. [08:12] wwwi: a fair amount of vps providers are blacklisted too, so research before you buy [08:12] and an email server is not the easiest thing to run [08:29] ducasse, I see. Thanks.

[11:20] sorry my hopless english :/ [11:22] tarzeau_, so yeah, 20.04 [11:25] Yes Ubuntu 20.04 is what I am running [11:25] nborisov: you first have to figure in which packgae it is, i think? dpkg -S `which NetworkManager` [11:25] well i know it - it's network-manager [11:26] nborisov: i usually do something like this: dget http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_1.30.6-1.dsc; dpkg-source net*.dsc; cd net*/; debuild [11:27] you might want to take http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_1.32.10-0ubuntu1.dsc [11:27] if that looks impossible, fall back to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/network-manager/network-manager_1.30.0-1ubuntu3.dsc [11:27] or upgrade to hirsute for 1.30, or impish for 1.32 === Osares101 is now known as Osares10 [12:04] i get this error since today [12:04] Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

[15:04] for what nvidia card? === genii-core is now known as genii [16:14] 3080Ti [16:16] can anyone help me with trying to get back to my system. i used a boot-repair disk to try and fix the issue but still i keep booting to grub-rescue [16:16] https://pastebin.com/G4cN7yDe [16:18] is it possible to wipe out the uefi off of a system? like just get rid of it all together b/c it keeps giving me problems when i have to install ubuntu or any linux os. its one of those 32 bit uefi built on top of a 64bit architecture [16:19] Press del to enter setup, check for CSM or Legacy mode [16:22] alkisg: i have it set up for no uefi but just getting ubuntu to install is too much of a headache. i want it to be erased and just back to normal or is it impossible due to the bios? [16:25] No, it should be easy; format the disk in mbr, not in gpt then [16:25] all 32 bit uefi machines i know, cannot be switched [16:26] i wonder how you get 64 bit linux running on that [16:30] oerheks: i have had 64 bit running for many years on it. but i got it installed and now i wanted to update and installed a new version of ubuntu but now i keep getting grub rescue and when i try from live disk to drop down to command prompt and boot via the linux and initrd commands. i then get stuck at intrams [16:31] oerheks: alkisg: i think its b/b they created this garbage uefi with 32 bit on top of 64 architecture. [16:31] oerheks: there is no purpose to uefi, other than to make it harder for people to install linux [16:33] BrianHechinger[m: did you try other kernel/nvidia driver version combo? [16:34] it is just a cheap machine that did not want to pay for 64 bit uefi [16:34] and send us the issues [16:35] lotuspsychje: 460 doesn't work with 5.14 (not without a patch) but it works fine with 5.13. I've not tried 470.63 with any other kernels though, no [16:35] The following packages will be REMOVED: [16:35] grub-efi-ia32 [16:35] that is your bug [16:36] oerheks: yeah i seen that. it keeps giving this: /sbin/grub-install: error: failed to register the EFI boot entry: No such file or directory. [16:36] BrianHechinger[m: whats your current ubuntu release? [16:36] 21.04 [16:36] BrianHechinger[m: are you testing wayland or xorg? [16:37] I'm on Xorg (Ubuntu Studio) [16:37] ah kk [16:37] !info linux-image-generic hirsute [16:37] linux-image-generic (5.11.0.36.38, hirsute): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Built by linux-meta. Size 3 kB / 19 kB. (Only available for amd64, armhf, arm64, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x.) [16:37] try this kernel BrianHechinger[m and switch driver versions on your current kernel [16:38] I can go back to generic or liquorix 5.13, it's just not super critical right now so I was curious if 470.74 would make things work [16:38] but, it's not available in the ppa yet [16:38] and I don't know of another sane way to install it [16:39] 470 is published for hirsute https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-470/470.63.01-0ubuntu0.21.04.2 [16:39] that's 470.63 [16:39] but now lotuspsychje has me interested if 470.63 works with generic or not. [16:40] 2 days old, wait for it [16:41] Right, which is why I was asking about an ETA. :) [16:42] Until Proton fully supports RTX/DLSS I have to reboot to play CP2077 anyway, so like I said, not a critical issue. :D [16:43] seems like these days ubuntu nvidia driver versions match the graphics ppa equaly [16:43] !nvidia [16:43] For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » For the latest Nvidia drivers see https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [16:44] BrianHechinger[m: usualy we advice the latest driver(s) for big RTX cards [16:47] oerheks: okay i think i will find a way to fix it. b/c i remembered i installed ubuntu 16.04 in the past with no problems. i will follow this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/815618/how-to-resolve-this-grub-efi-ia32-error-in-asus-t100-of-16-04 [16:51] oerheks: also when i had tried to after running ubiquity -b. after that i did try to install the bootloader but it froze the system when it came to install grub [16:51] So I don't understand reddit timestamps but it looks like 470.63 was released about a month ago and the ppa build is 4 weeks old so it shouldn't be long to wait. === Arsaro is now known as Arsapi === lucas_ is now known as lucascastro [17:56] Hi all, what would be the route to take if you have a ubuntu host and a windows 7 QEMU/libvirt guest and wanted to give internet access to the guest but restrict what can come in on a whitelist basis? [17:56] so like everything is blocked perhaps like a firewall unless allowed through [17:56] or at the least, the ability for the host to block certain ports etc? [18:04] Guest22, Timekpr or CTParental perhaps?

[19:31] hello [19:34] sarnold maybe its dynamic. [19:35] sarnold nice tip though. any other keywords or tools to consider? [19:35] Intelo: all my apt-cache search queries were things like "call graph" "code graph" etc. but those returned *so* many results [19:36] hm [20:06] Hello, i am trying to automate my install with autoinstall in 20.04, and when presenting a manual partition table to autoinstall it crashes with "unknown error crashed with ValidationError" is this a known bug? [20:07] zph1nx: are you able to pastebin a sample? [20:08] zph1nx: that doesn't sound familiar to me, no; pastebin the config? [20:11] dbungert sarnold https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/D4jpTrP5pX/ [20:13] i did snip serial of the disk out though [20:15] zph1nx: you might need to put serial back, curtin handles the storage part and it tends to want the serial [20:16] zph1nx: the late commands, one is in quotes, the other not; does that matter? [20:16] @dbu [20:17] ergh, anyhow, the problem is that this autoinstall is supposed to match a wide varaity of server disks. [20:17] zph1nx: fair, let me dig a bit [20:20] zph1nx: ok, so the storage config is valid according to curtin, so that part should be fine [20:21] zph1nx: can you pastebin /var/log/installer/subiquity-server-debug.log? [20:25] seems it hangs now [20:27] when? befor starting the install? around the late commands time? [20:27] i did manage to get a screenshot of it earlier [20:27] yea, the full backtrace would help if you have it === mulliken is now known as mulliken|away [20:40] oerheks: hey just a quick question b/c i am not understanding the instructions for this particular information on how to get grub back. i am stuck at the point with sudo mount /dev/mmclbk1p2 /mnt vs. sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /boot/efi [20:40] https://askubuntu.com/questions/260297/why-12-04-fails-to-install-grub-efi-to-target/774537#774537 [20:41] thats the instruction if anyone can tell me. should i do sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt first and then sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /boot/efi and then the other commands? [20:43] i am trying to figure out if i should bind it to /boot/efi instead of /mnt [20:44] ghostnik11: What sort of device is this, a desktop ... laptop ... something else? === mulliken|away is now known as mulliken [20:45] genii: its a something else (one of those low powered 2 in 1 tablets with a 32 bit uefi on top of 64 bit architecture [20:45] So then it may not use grub but something else like U-boot [20:45] genii: but i am about to solve my problem, i just want to make sure i do it in the correct order. [20:45] genii: it does use grub [20:46] hm [20:46] genii: its just that the 32 bit uefi causes problems when installing a new copy of ubuntu [20:46] ghostnik11: Yes, that is also a common issue with older Macs with 64bit systems but 32bit EFI/UEFI [20:46] genii: i had it working with previous versions of ubuntu but wanted to do an update and fresh install and something with less resource hogging [20:47] genii: but i am going to just try with the sudo mount /boot/efi instead of sudo mount /mnt [20:47] genii: i will see how it works out [20:52] oh hai [20:53] I have a fujitsu mini desktop machine, which used to work allright, with a Ubuntu 20 install i believe. On a SATA drive, no other OSes. Now i suddenly get a "boot error", not much other info, when turning it on. [20:53] I'm typing this from the machine, booted from a USB Lubuntu distro. The BIOS sees the Western Digital hard drive. Is there any analysis i can do from inside Lubuntu now to see whats up with the drive? [20:54] <_7zip> E [20:59] sybariten: First you can find out what drive it is with: sudo fdisk -l and find the corresponding drive and partition designations. Then to check the filesystems of partitions of that drive using syntax like: sudo fsck /dev/sdx9 but put the actual partition instead of sdx9 [21:00] okay so i keep getting errors with sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /boot/efi [21:00] it keeps saying /boot/efi does not exist [21:01] dbungert https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Ng2Jn3xrKK/ [21:01] genii: yeah i'd guess its sda from the looks of it. Theres a two gig sdb too but i dont know what that does. so i'll run fsck on that partition then [21:01] sorry it took awhile, had to set up a reverse ssh tunnel [21:02] sybariten: Remember to run the fsck command on the partitions, and not on the entire device [21:03] ghostnik11: Whatever directory you try to mount things to must already exist [21:03] genii: but it does exist [21:03] zph1nx: you need a "version: 1" under autoinstall, looks like. autoinstall: version: 1 [21:05] dbungert id did have it, but last in the file, since i snipped the autoinstall from a manual install and ran it [21:05] ill give it a try setting it just below autoinstall [21:05] aha. sdab2 i would guess https://pastebin.com/Td9Hvkmk [21:05] order shouldn't matter, but in the run with that traceback it seems to be not there. [21:05] ghostnik11: Does: ls /boot show a directory named efi in it? If not then it doesn't [21:06] genii: i took a copy paste there of the fdisk output [21:06] genii: no but i am a bit confused b/c i am on a live ubuntu cd. so when i do ls /boot is it looking at the live usb side? [21:07] ..for that matter I can't remember if livecd/usb even has /boot [21:07] ghostnik11: That's correct, you are looking at the filesystem in ramdisk the livecd/usb made [21:08] genii: yeah b/c when i run ls /boot it gives me a few stuff and i know when i check via file manager i see more stuff [21:09] genii: https://pastebin.com/ARBtZs8h [21:11] genii: what if i ran: sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /boot [21:11] genii: since it might then mount it in order [21:13] <_7zip> OwO [21:13] hi [21:13] hi [21:14] dbungert https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zWWNYCjv67/ seems i ran into another error [21:14] how do I change my ubuntu version to an older one? [21:15] ghostnik11: The prudent thing to do is mount it to /mnt and then get a file listing of /mnt and see if the contents of this are actually the contents which are expected to be seen in the machine's native /boot directory first to make sure you are working on the correct partition [21:15] \ [21:15] * genii wanders back to work for a bit [21:15] ill try the boot-repair tool and see what happens [21:16] genii: okay i will see if i can do that. but i also have to help a friend go over some questions. so i am going to have to take a pause. thanks for the help bro [21:16] Guest2195: you don't. Why do you think you need to? [21:19] zph1nx: not sure why that's failing, might be a bug, looking [21:21] i removed the offending key though, it wouldnt take the linux generic kernel as a package argument, which is fine for me i suppose. [21:22] that's a generated autoinstall, right? looks like it has an extra level of kernel (kernel: kernel: package) [21:22] instead of kernel: package [21:27] : I want to because My current version of linux is a little unfriendly with me [21:28] Guest2195: what version of Linux wound that be? [21:29] zph1nx: yes, I'm seeing multiple invalid things in an autoinstall I just generated from subiquity, so that's for sure a bug === keypushe- is now known as keypusher [21:33] genii: yep you were right when i run ls /mnt/boot [21:33] thats where the efi folder for /boot/efi is located for my /dev/mmcblk1p2 partition [21:37] dbungert now however is crashes without any schema errors and throws errors, i think manual partition setups are quite shaky in 20.04 [21:41] zph1nx: thanks for all the debug info. This is a nice reminder about the autoinstall we generate from subiquity, so I'm planning to add a test case to our automated tests to help check that the autoinstall we generate isn't overtly broken. [21:41] if you're still up for debugging I'd like a look at the next crash log [21:42] ill try and grab it, i run this through packer and qemu, and for some reason qemu likes to take the image down after a few minutes [21:51] dbungert https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hYwSj9syX6/ === sig_9 is now known as bebop [22:00] anyone know if grub-install is generally a "safe" process? I am trying to salvage a machine that won't boot anymore [22:00] I'm suspecting because of having turned off the machine with the power button a number of times [22:01] sybariten: I believe it'll be ok. All update-grub does is scan the system for OS's and kernels then creates a new grub config file. [22:03] update-grub? [22:04] update-grub is called by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub [22:04] as part of the kernel upgrade process [22:06] zph1nx: curtin is unhappy about something, and the info isn't in the subiquity log :( This might be salvagable but it involves analyzing the systemd journal === dlam1 is now known as dlam [22:07] ok... [22:08] dbungert if you tell me where to look i can check [22:08] want the journalctl -xe output? [22:09] please [22:12] mwhudson: thanks for peeking in, here's the most recent log https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hYwSj9syX6/ [22:12] having a look at /var/crash/1632347240.061345577.install_fail.crash would be helpful [22:18] dbungert https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GsHVwsWGnS/ [22:18] Sep 22 22:13:35 ubuntu-server subiquity_log.2121[2423]: Stderr: Could not create partition 2 from 4096 to 31455231 [22:18] Sep 22 22:13:35 ubuntu-server subiquity_log.2121[2423]: Could not change partition 2's type code to 8300! [22:18] does look like the offender. [22:20] zph1nx: is it possible the system you installed this on to get the autoinstall file had a larger disk than the one you're installing now? [22:22] mwhudson: they're both supposed to be 15GB, the idea is to provision a small image and then blow it up via rc.local once its dd'ed to a disk [22:23] 'sgdisk', '--new', '2:4096:31455231' [22:23] although now i just noticed im off a GB in the packer.json file [22:23] how big is that in actual units i understand :) [22:24] just under 15 GiB [22:25] my idea of running MaaS fell on deaf ears, so we're dd'ing ubuntu installs via sccm now instead :/ [22:31] setting -1 for size for the pv seems to have solved it [22:36] dbungert mwhudson huge thanks to you both [22:37] zph1nx: ah great [22:37] there are a few things here [22:37] 1) we are really bad about presenting install failures in a comprehensible way [22:37] zph1nx: thanks for sticking with it, we got some good data here [22:38] yeah, it's not very verbose [22:38] 2) it would be good if you followed the guided flow to do an install, the autoinstall file that got spat out used the guided flow [22:40] mwhudson: does the output change depending on if i go guided or manual? [22:43] zph1nx: no [22:43] but maybe it should === Ricardus_ is now known as Ricardus [23:32] JO [23:33] JOIN #xubuntu [23:36] Hey all, I'm trying to use apt-offline and I'm in a pickle. When a do apt-offline install upgrade.zip --verbose, it does not install anything, just telling me the files in the zip are synced [23:38] TheRealSoundWave: try an apt-get upgrade? [23:39] "After successful completion of Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 in order, further running apt-get upgrade will result in 0 bytes of additional download." [23:40] apt-offline is for update/upgrading and installing packages on offline devices [23:41] TheRealSoundWave: yes, and it's entirely possible that apt-offline has pushed the downloaded contents into the apt cache [23:41] TheRealSoundWave: it'd be nice if the manpage would just outright say what it does, but it sure sounds to me like a quick apt upgrade will do the job :) [23:43] so if everything is in the apt-cache, could I do a upgrade [23:43] I hope so, yeah [23:43] How then [23:45] the manpage says apt-offline install do the following : install installs APT data to the APT package database and updates i [23:46] the manpage says apt-offline install do the following : install installs APT data to the APT package database and updates it [23:48] Does anyone happen to have experience ipxe booting the ubuntu cloud images? [23:49] Trying to ipxe boot them on vsphere and baremetal, and can't seem to get it to work. [23:49] TheRealSoundWave: just try running 'apt upgrade'
