Guest38Will lubuntu 24.04 make the full transition from X11 to wayland utilizing lwqt?12:19
arraybolt3[m]Currently the LXQT developers have no ETA on when LWQT will arrive. There's a really big and messy GitHub bug report that has the discussion about it that I can find. Once that happens, it will be possible for us to consider transitioning over (which I know is something the devs are interested in once possible).14:30

ubottuIssue 10 in lxqt/lxqt "Wayland support" [Open]14:32
arraybolt3[m]Guest38: ^14:32
Guest80Is there an option to enable trusting .desktop files by default?14:47
arraybolt3[m]Not that I'm aware of.14:50
Tiberiyou meaning right click and "trust this executable"?14:52
Tiberiany ideas my rebooting/shutdown problem?14:53
Guest80Yea. I just want to trust executables by default. Feels silly to have to do that with the qterminal the distro came with.14:53
Tiberidon't need to do that on qterminal14:54
Guest80I put a shortcut on the desktop (22.04.1) and I had to trust it.14:54
arraybolt3[m]Tiberi: Sorry, I don't know what's happening with the rebooting/shutdown problem, and I'm not even sure where to start looking. :(14:55
Guest80Isn't trust executable the same thing as doing chmod +x <program> in the terminal?14:56
Tiberihow about right click desktop file on desktop and that way?14:58
Tiberisomeone said that they installed nvidia drivers, but don't know how to do that14:59
tomreynTiberi: i can look over your log if you like, but would need to see it fully. you can output the first and last 1000 lines of a boot where the system failed to shut down properly online like this: journalctl --list-boots    then look for which is the right boot ID. assuming it is ID "-3": journalctl -b -3 | head -n1000 | nc termbin.com 9999; journalctl -b -3 | tail -b 1000 | nc termbin.com 999915:00
Tiberiok15:01
arraybolt3[m]Tiberi: To install NVIDIA drivers, open "Software Sources" from the application menu, then click Additional Drivers, and select the NVIDIA driver of your choice (probably the one marked as being recommended). Then you can install it from there.15:01
Guest80I have another question: What is the name of the screen locker that lubuntu uses by default. Arch wiki says it uses slock or XScreenSaver. I just want to know what lubuntu picked.15:04
Tiberitomreyn tail: cannot open '1000' for reading : no such file or directory?15:06
tomreynTiberi: sorry, i had a typo, this is correct:15:07
tomreynjournalctl -b -3 | head -n1000 | nc termbin.com 9999; journalctl -b -3 | tail -n 1000 | nc termbin.com 999915:08
tomreynnote, again, the "-3" is just an example here15:08
Tiberiyeah but i think it is right one??15:08
Tiberihttps://termbin.com/5jo4x15:09
tomreyni could/would not know15:09
Tiberihttps://termbin.com/ayf615:09
tomreyn!acpi_osi | Tiberi: this is another approach you can try15:11
ubottuTiberi: this is another approach you can try: If your system is unstable or power management does not work well and logs show ACPI issues, you can try to make the Linux kernel pretend it was Windows during boot (which can help on hardware which was only tested with Windows): http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html15:11
tomreynACPI Warning: SystemIO range 0x0000000000004E00-0x0000000000004E3F conflicts with OpRegion 0x0000000000004E00-0x0000000000004E3F (\_SB.PCI0.SM00) (20210730/utaddress-204)15:13
tomreynACPI: OSL: Resource conflict; ACPI support missing from driver?15:14
tomreynthis *may* be an issue, not sure15:14
tomreynalso this: TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.15:15
Tiberihow i do that?15:16
tomreyn!bootparm15:17
tomreyn!bootparam15:17
tomreynsorry, let me find the right trigger15:17
tomreyn!kernelparm | Tiberi 15:18
ubottuTiberi: To add a one-time or permanent kernel boot parameter see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters15:18
tomreynthis is old hardware with an nvidia graphics chipset. if there are problems which can be graphics related, and the (currently used) open source nouveau driver does not work well with it, maybe you can find a proprietary driver which still works with it.15:21
tomreynthis looks unrelated but wrong:  NetworkManager[762]: <info>  [1660767579.0958] failed to open /run/network/ifstate15:28
tomreynnetworkd-dispatcher[771]: No valid path found for iw15:28
tomreynalso this looks wrong: snapd[784]: snapmgr.go:363: cannot read snap info of snap "gtk-common-themes" at revision 1535: cannot find installed snap "gtk-common-themes" at revision 1535: missing file /snap/gtk-common-themes/1535/meta/snap.yaml15:30
tomreynTiberi: oh, looks like your ata1.00 port HDD is just broken. no surprise on a 13y+ old device15:32
Tiberinice15:33
Tiberihow that effect on shutting down?15:33
tomreynwell that has effects on any data that needs to be written, and sometimes also read, to / from disk. during shutdown, usually more data is written to disk than during standard operation15:34
Tiberibut somehow works kind of well. some little stucks, but..15:34
tomreynwell, backup asap what you can15:35
Tiberiwhy i does that thing allways?15:35
Tiberiit is just installed and i dosen't have anything15:35
tomreynare you asking me why you're trying to run a 13+yr old computer?15:35
Tiberijust thinking why it stuck every time and same place on shutting down15:36
tomreynget a new computer, or at least a mediocre ssd, it will still be a much better experience than it is now.15:37
tomreynalso this is just going to fail soon15:37
Tiberii got new ssd on it15:42
tomreynTiberi: the WDC WDS240G2G0A seems to be what's broken15:55
Tiberihmm..15:56
tomreynWDC WDS240G2G0A-00JH30 specifically15:57
tomreynfirst log says: ata1.00: ATA-9: WDC WDS240G2G0A-00JH30, UF510000, max UDMA/13315:58
tomreynsecond log says:15:58
tomreynsystemd[1019]: Starting Virtual filesystem service...15:58
tomreynkernel: ata1.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x300000 SErr 0x400000 action 0x6 frozen ... interface fatal error15:59
tomreynit could also be a broken sata cable, though15:59
Tiberilaptop so it dosen't have sata cable16:00
tomreynor loose connector16:00
Tiberimaybe solderings is bad?16:00
tomreynthen you'd always had this issue16:01
Tiberieven then i dosen't rebooted when i installed linux on usb stick16:03
Tiberii don't know what should i try that i could only shutdown16:09
tomreynhttps://support-en.wd.com/app/products/product-detailweb/p/279 provides a windows firmware updater for your ssd. this might be worth a try, too16:15
Tiberihow that works without windows?16:20
Tiberiok i put it on my windows pc16:21
Tiberior don't know how that works on windows16:23
tristan_hi16:55
tristan_tp link connection to my lap keeps disconnecting16:55
tristan_but other wifi connects good16:56
tristan_can anyone help?16:56
tomreynTiberi: https://wddashboarddownloads.wdc.com/wdDashboard/DashboardSetup.exe16:56
Tiberiyea i need to first put it on my windows pc16:57
tomreynTiberi: once you have it running, it should be pretty self-explanatory. there will be some "update"  or "FW upgrade" section or button, and then it should already select the right firmware16:57
Tiberihope it work coz i dosen't have "windows" partitions16:58
tomreynon the ssd? that wont matter16:59
tomreyntristan_: try disabling power saving: https://gist.github.com/jcberthon/ea8cfe278998968ba7c5a95344bc8b5517:12
tristan_i did it17:12
tristan_if i restart router, wifi is working for some time17:13
tristan_only laptop has disconnection problem17:14
tristan_android phones working well with wifi17:14
tristan_if restart network manager it will connect for few seconds17:14
tristan_then keeps disconnect until restart router again17:15
tristan_other wifi with same laptop working fine17:15
tristan_i am using lubuntu 18.0417:15
arraybolt3[m]tristan_: Lubuntu 18.04 is EOL and unsupported. You might have better luck if you upgrade to the latest supported release, Lubuntu 22.04.17:20
arraybolt3[m](Back up your data before beginning an upgrade since upgrades can go wonky.)17:21
tristan_is 22.04 comes with lxde?17:22
arraybolt3[m]Lubuntu upgraded to LXQt, which is a port of LXDE to the Qt toolkit. It looks pretty nice, but is a significantly different look and feel. (LXDE is being sunset in favor of LXQt by the upstream developers.)17:23
tristan_is lxqt fast like lxde?17:24
arraybolt3From my experience, yes. Works very well on systems with 2 GB of RAM or more.17:24
tristan_i need to take backup, i don't want to break anything.17:25
arraybolt3Very important. Definitely do that first.17:25
arraybolt3Oh, one more thing - do you know if your system is 32-bit or 64-bit?17:26
tristan_64bit17:26
arraybolt3Nice, then you're good to go.17:26
tristan_i3 6th gen17:26
arraybolt3Oh wow. Yeah, that will work extremely well. I'm on i5 3rd gen over here and Lubuntu works awesome for me.17:27
arraybolt3s/will/should/ (since there's always a possibility of things going wrong, but that's why we're here to help fix that.)17:27
tristan_i liked lubuntu a lot 17:28
tristan_easy ui17:28
Tiberfirmware was up to date17:32
Tiberand healt was 99%17:32
dragon2lubuntu runs on old and new pcs17:35
dragon2probably with minimal specs too, but I haven't tried latey17:35
Tiber?17:36
dragon2If you really want to, it will probably run on low specs, the trouble with turn when streaming videos, youtube, gaming, ....,17:36
arraybolt3dragon2: Welcome to the Lubuntu tech support channel! If you don't mind, we're mid support session. However, #ubuntu-discuss and #lubuntu-offtopic would be fantastic spots for this conversation.17:37
arraybolt3Tiber: Did you try the acpi-osi thingy yet?17:37
Tiberno17:38
Tiberwhat's that?17:38
arraybolt3[m]Lemme find it again...17:38
arraybolt3[m]!acpi_osi17:38
ubottuIf your system is unstable or power management does not work well and logs show ACPI issues, you can try to make the Linux kernel pretend it was Windows during boot (which can help on hardware which was only tested with Windows): http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html17:38
arraybolt3That describes exactly the problems you're running into IIUC, and gives a possible fix.17:39
Tiberok i will try that17:39
Tiberdamn... that should have step by step instructions for me17:46
arraybolt3Oh... OK, download the acpi_osi.sh script.17:47
arraybolt3Then open a terminal in the Downloads folder, and run "chmod +x ./acpi_osi.sh && ./acpi_osi.sh".17:49
arraybolt3Er, wait...17:49
arraybolt3chmod +x ./acpi_osi.sh && sudo ./acpi_osi.sh17:50
arraybolt3Tiber: ^17:50
Tiberok and that's it?17:53
Tibernot shutting down18:23
tomreynTiber: it cannot have any effect until *after* the next reboot18:29
Tiber https://termbin.com/u2p2  https://termbin.com/69re18:34
Tiberis this looking right?18:34
Tibersome one got same laptop as i and he speaked something about nvidia drivers18:35
Tibernow i can't see errors 18:36
Tiberi should have nvidia 340 drivers 18:37
Tiberhttps://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/623159/ubuntu-shutdown-does-not-power-off-tried-other-solutions18:41
Tiberthat last one got same laptop as i18:41
tomreynhttps://termbin.com/69re has the same error messages 18:43
tomreyn... as before18:43
tomreynwas the firmware upgraded?18:43
tomreyndid you run a health check?18:44
tomreynit's entirely possible that the symptoms you described and the disk freezing are separate issues, though18:45
tomreynit could also be that the ssd is just running too hot18:46
tomreyn13yo laptops would have veeeery dirty /crammed fans unless you cleared those recently18:47
Tiberi have18:48
Tiberand firmware was upgraded and healt was 99%18:49
Tiberi have changed pii things and cpu is still being hot on windows 1018:51
Tibernow on linux it's going kind of quiet18:51
Tiberi was going to use that laptop on pc osciloscop and maybe arduino ide18:56
Tiberwindows 7 was last windows that i have actually used that18:57
tomreynto detect thermal sensors, install lm-sensors and run sensors-detect.19:09
Tiberi think i make i right but everything is no20:03
Tiberhow i can install nvidia-legacy-340 ?20:31
TiberiGPG error: http://deb.debian.org/debian buster InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 648ACFD622F3D138 NO_PUBKEY 0E98404D386FA1D9 NO_PUBKEY DCC9EFBF77E1151720:32
