semI'm having more crashes, this time all I can see in syslog is nouveau messages. Maybe I would have better luck with DVI, right now I am using HDMI00:35
leftyfbsem: you'd probably have better luck with proper Nvidia drivers over Nouveau00:36
semworth a shot :)00:37
tiohelo00:43
semleftyfb, if "nvidia-340" is the one software sources recommends (but cannot install correctly), since it is not in the repos any more, does that mean I am out of luck?00:45
leftyfbsem: pick a different one00:46
semOk00:46
semmy bad it was called nvidia-340 not nvidia-driver-34000:57
semstill won't install though00:57

Bashing-omsem: Header installed on the system ' dpkg -l linux-headers-generic ' ?01:10
semnot installed -- strange that apt didn't pull it in01:10
semi'll install it and try again :) thanks Bashing-om01:11
Bashing-omsem: Just looking over shoulders :P01:11
semanything else I will need for compiling these drivers?01:11
semin the old days I would have needed build-essential01:12
Bashing-omsem: Not real sure of what you are doing - why compile your-self when the tested binaries are available ?01:12
semi'm not trying to compile it myself, I am just installing nvidia-340 with apt and it is compiling it01:13
Bashing-omsem: Kay :) /// in that case I do strongly recommend our PPA. Enable the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ), purge the present Nvidia driver install attempt .. and try as ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' as oerheks above suggested.01:16
semOk let me retrace my steps :)01:17
semI have enabled that ppa (the one that asks you to download the phoronix test suite...?)01:18
leftyfbenabling a PPA should not ask you anything01:18
semI will sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-34001:18
semleftyfb, it did though! had a whole welcome message before I hit enter01:18
Bashing-omsem: Better is ' sudo apt remove --purge nvidia-* ' to get rid of ALL .01:19
semok01:19
semthat got rid of 2 extra packages01:21
semBashing-om, the output of ubuntu-drivers still looks like it is compiling stuff01:22
semI'll pastebin in a sec01:22
semhow can I be sure that apt is using the ppa?01:23
semhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/jPfTyTfBvF/01:24
Bashing-omsem: Maybe once installed sometning like ' apt policy nvidia-340 ' ?01:24
semi'll try it01:25
Bashing-omsem: Ouch - as the kernel advises - what is in the log file " /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-340/340.108/build/make.log " ?01:27
semI have looked at it, but it was similar to the crash log. It had this line: /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-340/340.108/build/nv-linux.h:122:10: fatal error: asm/kmap_types.h: No such file or directory01:29
semI don't have the file any more because of the apt purge01:29
Bashing-omsem: Lemme see what I can find out - never seen that error before.01:31
semBashing-om, am I doing something wrong? Even after installing the ppa, it is trying to get the package from the security repo. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/39GBjQwgK7/01:32
semThanks for your help!01:32
Bashing-omsem: That file is a part of the headers packageing :( Did not linux-headers-generic instll ?01:33
semBashing-om, it installed now, but I couldn't pastebin the log file because it didn't exist. Let me try the autoinstall and I'll paste the make log if I get one01:34
semdid you see the apt dry run?01:34
Bashing-omsem: Teah - looked just now --- and for the PPA did you run as ' sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa ' ? sudo apt update !01:36
semyes I did, and I see the update pull in the PPA01:36
semBashing-om, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Q5vZj8sBDt/01:37

senoraratonI'm trying to compile my wireless card driver in Ubuntu 20.04.  The driver repo wants me to install 'module-assistant' but the package is not found, I searched the ubuntu repo online and its.. odd02:00
senoraratonIt shows the package as 'impish' and then when you go to it it says module-assitant, but if you just search for impish you get 'budgie wallpapers'02:01
Bashing-omsem: 5.4.0-91 is not fully installed - how does the old 5.43 kernel play into this ?02:02
leftyfb!universe | senoraraton02:02
ubottusenoraraton: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories.02:02
leftyfbsenoraraton: the "module-assistant" is part of the universe repository02:02
semBashing-om, not sure, I only installed this system a few days ago and didn't touch the kernel02:03
Bashing-omsem: A world that I do not know - for now what shows ' sudo dkms status ' ? and we consider purging the old unused 5.4 kernel.02:11
semnvidia-340, 340.108: added02:12
semi can try purging the old kernel02:12
Bashing-omsem: Not at all sure - as dkms seems happy - see if the package manager is in a happy state: ' sudo apt --purge autoremove ' ??02:14
semBashing-om, I think the 5.4 one got installed when I did 'sudo apt install linux-headers-generic'02:15
sembecause removing it also removes linux-headers-generic02:15
Bashing-omsem: Oh ! that makes sense ! HWE at play here ! vice generic .02:16
semBashing-om, anytime I use apt, it tries to configure nvidia-340, including the autoremove02:18
sem"1 not fully installed or removed."02:18
semin order to make it happy I have to remove nvidia-340, or purge all nvidia*02:19
sembut it will return to the same state if I try to do the ubuntu-drivers autoinstall02:19
Bashing-omsem: Let's try this ' sudo dkms autoinstall ' see if the package manager will re-configure the driver for us.02:20
semok02:20

semhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/xrzCWPq63v/02:25
Bashing-omsem: Tells us nothing that we already did not know - nvidia module fails to build. I am at a loss to advise on where to go from here.02:29
semOne thing I don't understand is what it is trying to build02:30
semI thought they were binaries02:30
Bashing-omsem: Me too - In all the cases I have installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers I have never encountered these errors.02:31
semSo while that was happening my computer crashed02:35
semAnd now I don't have a GUI at all, but I have virtual terminals02:35
Bashing-omsem: Ouch ! Graphic's driver all messed up - what shows - sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" - ?02:37
semIt's going02:39
semNothing02:39
Bashing-omsem: That too is a good thing - just another to remove from the check list.02:40
Bashing-omsem: Purging the Nvidia driver - and reboot - do you come back up on the nouveau driver ? with a functional GUI ?02:44
semI will try02:46
semIt looks like dkpg was interrupted by the crash so fixing that now02:47

comet23i have ubuntu 32 bit 12.10 for school and the repos aren't working... how do i update the repos so i can get the latest updates04:18
robertparkerxwhat the cli for dist-upgrade?04:18
robertparkerxI forgot04:18
robertparkerxI'm sorry04:18
jhutchinsrobertparkerx: apt update && apt dist-upgrade04:19
robertparkerxty04:20
jhutchinsrobertparkerx: That's correct for at least one version, ymmv.04:20
comet23i'm learning assembly language on linux and the class uses 32 bit ubuntu 12.10 and nothing is updating04:21
comet23is there an alternative i can use?04:21
Bashing-om!12.10 | comet2304:22
ubottucomet23: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) was the 17th release of Ubuntu.  Support ended on May 16th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and https://ubottu.com/y/quantal04:22
jhutchinscomet23: You might want to stick to a 32b environment for the sake of compatibility.04:22
jhutchinsSo ...04:22
jhutchins!upgrade04:22
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade04:22
jhutchinsI would imagine that some things like the compile utilities and libraries may have changed enough to cause you trouble.04:23
robertparkerxdoes apache2 2.4.41 apply the latest patch04:23
Bashing-omcomet23: the repo for 12.10 ^ no longer exists as you once knew it. maybe lubuntu still has a 32 bit spin . let me check.04:23
jhutchinscomet23: There's really nothing wrong with using an older version like that without updates if you're within a school/classroom environment, just don't go using it for normal broad web cruising.04:24
jhutchinscomet23: In fact, it might be very informative and useful to take what you're learning on that version and see what it takes to port it to the current version.04:25
jhutchinscomet23: Just set up a dual-boot install and have at it.04:25
comet23i'm using vms04:25
comet23i have 64gb ddr5 ram so i think it'll be more than enough :D04:25
jhutchinscomet23: There you go, port it to as many different platforms as you like.04:26
robertparkerxWhen do you think ubuntu will have latest apache2 patch?04:27
comet23Bashing-om: will lubuntu be the easiest thing to use?04:27
comet23i just want it to work like ubuntu but 32 bit because i'm learning 32 bit assembly04:27
jhutchinsrobertparkerx: Are you sure it doesn't already?  Ubuntu version numbers are not the same as upstream version numbers.04:28
robertparkerxIt says build was in 10-1404:28
robertparkerxI did apache2 -v04:28
jhutchinscomet23: So stick with the school version for school, and whatever you like for your own use.04:28
comet23i can't install anything on it04:28
jhutchinsrobertparkerx: You really have to follow the Ubuntu CVE tracker to know what they've patched.04:29
comet23when i did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade i kept getting failed to fetch errors04:29
comet23all i want is to install things from the terminal like a normal person04:29
jhutchinscomet23: Right, as shown above, there is no repository to draw the upgrades from.04:30
comet23if i get any 32bit linux will it be the same as ubuntu?04:31
Bashing-omcomet23: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/bionic/release/ has a 32 bit image - but be aware that the desktop (3 years support_is also EOL while kernel space will be supported until 2023.04:31
robertparkerxI had to add the ppa04:31
comet23thank you so much!04:31
robertparkerxI had to add the apache2 ppa04:32
comet23i wish they had specific operating systems for educational use but i guess i'm gonna have to make my own image and then upload it somewhere04:33
Bashing-omrobertparkerx: See to https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5192-1 that the vulnerabilities are patched.04:34
robertparkerxOH ty04:34
guiverccomet23, there is a respin called UbuntuEd but it's amd64 and not 32-bit (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-education-ubuntued/17063 https://fossbytes.com/ubuntued-20-04-new-educational-linux-distros-for-kids-college-students/ etc)04:45

Dr-007hey guys, when im in grub2 and choose ubuntu it doesnt load. when im in grub and goto advanced ubuntu settings and choose a kernel, it doesnt load. but when im in grub and goto advanced ubuntu settings choose recovery mode. let it load then choose 'return to normal boot' it loads. so im now in ubuntu14:12
Dr-007i already ran 'boot repair' which regenerates grub14:12
Dr-007but the same problem remains14:12
EriC^^Dr-007: sounds like it has to do with either a botched entry, or a graphics problem14:21
WickedDekciwHello.. I'm trying to extend a partition from gparted (both exfat) but it isn't doing anything, unable to reclaim any free space14:22
Dr-007EriC^^, you mean a wrong grub entry?14:22
EriC^^Dr-007: try sudo update-grub to make a cfg again, if it still doesnt work try adding nomodeset to see if that's what's helping it boot14:22
WickedDekciwAny idea what could be causing this?14:22
Dr-007EriC^^, boot repair does that, and this usually works.14:22
Dr-007i should note that i installed another os14:23
Dr-007and also deleted that other os again14:23
Dr-007hoping that would fix my problem..14:23
Dr-007i can boot into all other os's14:23
Dr-007except ubuntu14:23
masterkorpHello everyone I have rather an urgent problem at hands, I bough a laptop for my newphew and I am installing linux on it, i got eveything working minus the wirelass card14:24
Dr-007but it when booting it shows a little hang time on a mount /dev/disk some-uuid but i cant find that uuid when its booted.14:24
Dr-007so my bet is that the file system is corrupt somewhere14:24
masterkorpthe wireless card its built into the laptop, but its recognized as an usb adator14:24
masterkorpBus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:d723 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11n WLAN Adapter14:24
masterkorpI have tried compiling and adding thr rt88 driver dkms, but the device still does not get recognized14:25
masterkorpany suggestion is more than welcome, as it would something that will make him happy14:26
Dr-007sometimes internal stuff is just connected via usb14:27
Dr-007like my touchpad in my laptop14:27
Dr-007itll show up in lsusb14:27
Dr-007or my integrated webcam14:28
masterkorpexactly the webcam is also recognized as Usb14:28
masterkorpand it works fine14:28
masterkorpbut not the wireless card14:28
EriC^^masterkorp: no recommended driver in 'sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' ?14:30
masterkorpi have not tried that, just a minute and I will try14:31
EriC^^Dr-007: are you booted into ubuntu right now?14:31
Dr-007EriC^^, yeah14:31
Dr-007but i installed nvidia drivers before checking if theres actually nvidia hardware.. so its running to isntall and i cant stop14:32
Dr-007but it should make a new kernel14:32
Dr-007so i hope it fixes it, kinda14:32
EriC^^Dr-007: type '(cat /etc/fstab /boot/grub/grub.cfg /proc/cmdline; sudo blkid) | nc termbin.com 9999'14:32
masterkorpEriC^^: nope, nothing14:33
Dr-007oh noo.. 'W: Operation was interrupted before it could finish' now it recognizes my ctrl+c command14:33
RumenGuys anyone can help me with my audio problem?14:33
masterkorpman I am out of ideas14:34
Dr-007EriC^^, https://termbin.com/bfdw14:34
EriC^^masterkorp: type 'lshw -c network | nc termbin.com 9999'14:35
ravagemasterkorp: which kernel are you running?14:36
ravage(and what Ubuntu version)14:36
EriC^^Dr-007: looks like the uuid not found is actually the swap partition, 0d37d450-e204-4920-abc3-737495b5608d14:38
Dr-007yes, 608d is what i remembered14:38
EriC^^Dr-007: i think the problem has to do with graphics, the grub entries look fine, seems that nomodeset might be helping you boot currently14:39
masterkorpEriC^^ the only that it detechs its the one I am using connected externally to solve the internet connection https://termbin.com/d2xb14:39
masterkorpravage 5.11.0-43-generic14:39
EriC^^masterkorp: try maybe 'rfkill list'14:39
Dr-007EriC^^, wierd, the problem occured after installing the other os. so i figured grub was messed up. but reinstalling it didnt help. so it should be something internal. what do you recommend with the graphic driver?14:40
ravagethe device actually looks ok. so rfkill is a good point. maybe there is even a hardware switch?14:40
masterkorpEriC^^ only detects the bluethooth module14:42
EriC^^Dr-007: type 'sudo ubuntu-drivers devices' it should show the recommended driver14:42
ravagemasterkorp: it even shows that you have an IP ( 192.168.1.76 )14:43
EriC^^masterkorp: anything in "dmesg" output regarding it?14:43
EriC^^ravage: that's his other wifi which he's using temporarily14:44
ravageoh ok14:44
Dr-007EriC^^, it shows nothing14:44
EriC^^what graphics card is it?14:44
Dr-007`lspci | grep VGA` says 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5500 (rev 09)14:45
Dr-007how can i 'restrap' a kernel for grub?14:45
Dr-007regenerate14:45
Dr-007hmm, never mind14:47
masterkorp<ravage> masterkorp: it even shows that you have an IP ( 192.168.1.76 )14:52
Dr-007brb14:53
masterkorplike I have said that is an external usb I am using at the moment to be able to configure the rest of the laptop and acess the internet14:53
ravagemasterkorp: at least from your USB id this driver may work: https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb14:53
masterkorpravage: ohh, let me try14:53
ravageits also possible that you only need the firmware14:55
ravagebut your kernel log should show that14:55
ravagesomething like "journalctl -b|grep firmware" but you may try other search patterns14:56
Dr-007EriC^^, jeeej, i booted from the normal grub2 ubuntu entry now. not via recovery14:57
Dr-007now. question, ive got this archlinux id like to install to another partition. but im afraid that ubuntu wont be bootable after i install again.14:58
Dr-007i once installed bodhi linux too, which is a spinoff of ubuntu14:59
Dr-007bodhi i installed next to ubuntu and windows14:59
Dr-007but then grub2 os-prober figured bodhi was ubuntu..14:59
Dr-007anyway, my question in short: when i target a partition for install of archlinux and manually add a grub entry then nothing should get broken, right?15:00
ravageDr-007: multiple OSes trying to configure your bootloader will always cause trouble. if you just want to test some other linux dists i suggedt you use something like virt-manager and test them in a VM15:01
ravageand yes you should manually add grub entrys if you really need more than one linux15:01
Dr-007but you think all installation processes of os's mess with the bootloader?15:02
Dr-007i dont really understand the sda1 partition EFI15:02
ravagea good installer will not make changes to your bootloader without asking15:02
Dr-007but most installers wont continue if you dont mount a `/` and a `/boot/efi`, right?15:03
[itchyjunk]Hi, there is something called `toolbox` that appears on top right next to the wifi and battery icons15:06
[itchyjunk]I am wondering how i can remove/uninstall that.15:07
[itchyjunk]It doesn't appear in the Software center -> Installed list15:07
lotuspsychje[itchyjunk]: one would need to know the name of that package, probably an indicator or gnome extension?15:15
[itchyjunk]lotuspsychje, i am not sure what it's called. It came along when i was installing pycharm. its a thing i got from jetbrains that let me install the pycharm.15:17
[itchyjunk]If I click on it i only get 2 options "Open ToolBox, Quit ToolBox"15:17
lotuspsychjeapt-cache doesnt give me pycharm, did you add ppa's or external debs [itchyjunk] ?15:18
[itchyjunk]Hmm, i'll try to retrace my steps. I followed some random guide on google a while back15:19
lotuspsychje[itchyjunk]: browse around your dpkg logs?15:19
jhutchinsits_notjack: Open toolbox would suggest further indicators of what it is.15:40
jhutchinsIt sounds like an applet or extension to the toolbar.  Have you tried right-clicking on it?15:40
jhutchinsits_notjack: You can use ps ax to see what processes are running.  Maybe you're lucky and one of them is "toolbox".15:40
WickedDekciwHola!... I'm trying to extend an exfat partition into unallocated space but gparted nor gnomedisk or kde can do it, any idea?16:05
tomreynWickedDekciw: you can try doing it in a terminal using fdisk. you'd need to actually delete the partition and create a new / larger one, starting at the exact same location16:10
tomreynsince this is obviously a dangerous operation, make sure you have proper backups16:10
tomreynresizing the file system should be possible with exfat-utils, i would think (haven't done it, yet)16:11
jhutchinsgrowe2fs?16:11
jhutchinsOh, no, you have to expand the partition first.16:11
tomreynthat's for ext file systems, isn't it16:11
jhutchinstomreyn: Yeah, exfat, oh well.16:12
tomreynactually resize2fs for ext2+16:12
jhutchinsWickedDekciw: The best way to do this is 1) You're going to make a backup anyway if you're messing with partitions.  2) Delete, recreate, format, restore.16:13
tomreynThere's also the resizepart command in util-linux16:13
WickedDekciwjhutchins I've already deleted it into unallocated space but gparted is no dice16:13
jhutchinsWickedDekciw: You're not telling us what error you're getting or how it fails.16:14
tomreynalso which ubuntu release and kernel version you run, could matter, so it's good to always provide this info, too16:15
tomreynas well as the partition table type16:15
=== WickedDekciw47 is now known as wickeddeckciw
jkcWickedDekciw: You said exfat, right? If so, gparted doesn't support growing/shrinking exfat filesystems.16:16
=== wickeddeckciw is now known as WickedDeckciw
WickedDeckciwjhutchins It shows no particular error in gparted. It simply greys out anything to do with extending the partition to begin with16:17
WickedDeckciwjkc Any idea what does, then?16:17
jkcWickedDeckciw: On linux? As far as I know, there is no existing tool that does.16:17
jkcexfatprogs doesn't.16:17
WickedDeckciwjkc I've tried both win and linux and even third-party win tools don't16:18
WickedDeckciwWhich is really strange16:18
jkcWindows most certainly can.16:18
WickedDeckciwNot by default. No Windows first-party tool has been able to do it for me.16:19
WickedDeckciwNo third-party tool either.16:19
jkcYes, by default. It's part of the disk management snap-in, and I know that AOMEI partition manager can, too. And DiskGenius.16:20
tomreynoh, right, there's no resize utility in either the 'new' exfatprogs https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/amd64/exfatprogs/filelist nor the 'old' exfat-utils https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/exfat-utils/filelist16:20
jkctomreyn: Resize support is an unimplemented open issue on the exfatprogs github.16:20
WickedDeckciwjkc, well then if it does, how?16:21
WickedDeckciwMaybe I'm  doing it wrong.16:21
tomreyntry heading over to ##windows for windows support16:22
tomreynapparently there is none on linux so far16:22
WickedDeckciwtomreyn Oh I did, was just told "nobody uses exfat" and adios amigo so I was looking for linux tools16:23
jkcuh, lots of people use exfat.16:23
WickedDeckciwjkc You're correct, they just live apparently in their own imaginary bubble where nobody does16:24
tomreynlooks like the developer who had developed the inital resizing code has been unable to work more on this for the past two years.16:30
jkcWickedDeckciw: So, the Windows tools honestly suck. DiskGenius can do it, its easy, and its a free download.16:33
jkcRight click, resize, drag it out to the size, click Start.16:33
WickedDeckciwjkc I'll try that, thanks!16:34
jkcAnd I can personally confirm that it DOES work.16:35
WickedDeckciwThat's music to my ears16:35
tomreynlet's please focus on ubuntu support on *this* channel, though. it's always fine to (together) move elsewhere for other topics.16:36
jkcTrue. I do believe that that topic is closed, though.16:36
jkcI shall now return to my regularly-scheduled pining for ZFS-on-root in the server installer.16:36
WickedDeckciwIs there anyway I can clone a live-install to a lager disk without converting it into a full one?16:44

tomreynsupercool: this (second line of text on the screenshot you posted - consider posting text as text in the future instead) is the direct (graphics) rendering manager (DRM) reporting that it was unable to 'send' the vmware graphics driver (vmwgfx) generated log messages to the 'host log'. this doesn't really explain how this failed to to be sent, nor does it hint at file system space allocation causing this issue.18:28
tomreyn(the line above this is that of a file system check, but this is most likely entirely unrelated)18:28
supercooltomreyn: yes, I also found this context suport but I think it is unrelated to my situation because everything was working just fine before the disk get full. It happened twice this week. I still can't figure why it is happening.18:30
tomreynsupercool: that's what logs can help with. (physical) disks don't usually run full, file systems do, and you usually have more than one of those. so the first step should be to fid out which one ran full, how it did, or why, and then how to prevent it from doing that again.18:33
tomreynjournalctl lets you check system logs, including that of a specific point in time.18:33
supercoolI've used vdi for dinamic ajust18:35
supercoolI will check this command to figure what happened18:35
tomreynif the file system the logs are stored on runs full, there is a chance that this will prevent logging to fail (this requires file system space, too), however some file systems would preserve a small fraction of space for things run by root to continue running in such an event.18:35
supercoolThe machine didn't just stop working. Now I remember, as I just installed a fresh install, I had to restart after the first updates. Perhaps there is some update that is not working18:37

WickedDeckciwtomreyn I do have in fact a persistent store. I just want to clone the existing data onto another, different disk/partition, namely occupying then a bigger storage than previous18:44
tomreynWickedDeckciw: i see. i'm not sure of all the steps which need to be taken there if you intend to keep it a hybrid (UEFI + BIOS bootable) image.19:24
tomreynit probably involves resizing the partition which includes the persistent storage (if that's a partition in your case, otherwise all the layers below the persistent file system)19:25
