[00:05] hi [00:05] what was the "i deleted my whole system at once with a command from the internet" and where did you find that [00:05] don't try this at home [00:07] Yes, we are not going to repeat that ActionMan. ubuntu support only [00:07] sarnold: ftp is an obsolete protocol that can be hard to support. You might find it easier to use ssh/scp to transfer files, or rsync for batches of data. [00:07] sarnold: Not sure how you got on that ... [00:07] jhutchins: preaching to the choir man, but ps3 is *also* obsolete that's hard to support and might only have an ftp server available [00:08] I wonder if the ftp:// worked? [00:09] he wants to ftp into ps3 [00:09] filezilla [00:25] soome one is using my nickname how to kick him [00:25] its registered name [00:25] ghost [00:25] you ghost them [00:26] !op [00:26] Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - CarlFK, DJones, el, Flannel, genii, hggdh, ikonia, krytarik, mneptok, mwsb, nhandler, ogra, Pici, popey, sarnold, tomreyn, Unit193, wgrant [00:26] that is more a #libera issue, not ubuntu [00:26] ...This is not the correct time to call channel ops... [00:27] how can it be that iam three times in this channel i want that it got kicked please [00:27] and you seem to be logged in. [00:27] If you look, they're all using your IP, so your client must have messe dup. [00:27] do you let ppl ssh into your box? [00:27] Oski146__: type "/msg NickServ help ghost" for info. [00:28] VMGuy23: His others already pinged out. [00:28] many computers on the same account? [00:28] lolz [00:28] what? [00:29] Oski146_____: how many are you? [00:29] omg whats this [00:29] someone is using my name all the time [00:29] Oski146__: it's you [00:29] no, it your connection failing. [00:29] Oski146__: you need a more reliable connection [00:29] Oski146__: it's all you [00:30] please stop, if you want to complain about your nickname, join #libera. [00:30] ok but i have gigabit [00:30] sorry guys [00:31] you can run screen on a shell account to avoid this [00:31] how to do it? iam online on a windows machine and on my linux machine [00:31] no wonder, mixing windows and linux is like oil and water [00:32] both try to join irc with 1 account? [00:32] linux is currently offline [00:32] then it is certainly not an ubuntu issue. [00:33] i think its the connection sorry guys [01:09] murmel: i think it's chrome does dns-tcp instead of ubuntu, as dig|nslookup|other-apps all do udp-dns under ubuntu [01:10] in fact, firefox also does udp, chrome is the exception [01:11] usual DNS requires both UDP and TCP [01:12] probably for <512bytes udp, for larger packets tcp [01:12] yeah [01:13] i have one more question. how can i mount a hdd drive permanently upon startup [01:13] put it to /etc/fstab? [01:13] how to, iam a semi beginner [01:13] blkid the partition, and add one line to /etc/fstab is what I do [01:13] !fstab [01:13] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.pclosmag.com/html/Issues/200709/page07.html and !Partitions [01:13] good start [01:14] thanks [01:32] thanks worked fine good explanation at this point. harddrive mounted successfully [01:32] have fun! [01:32] good to learn something new === vc_ is now known as zoika [01:41] is there any avice how to check if trim is enabled? i forgot it atm [01:47] oski146: try systemctl list-timers -- you'll probably see a timer named e2scrub_all.timer that runs e2scrub_all.service which starts up a program that invokes fstrim === M4he is now known as mahe [01:49] thamks i try [01:50] that workjed thanks [01:50] it called fstrim timer [01:53] heh that's what I expected to find! I was surprised when it wasn't there.. === ick is now known as pickanick [02:09] is there a way to check for snap updates while snap applications are running? [02:11] asking because "snap refresh" will report "All snaps up to date." even if they are not. [02:12] try snap info? [02:12] snap info matterhorn works when I've got matterhorn running, and the output includes: [02:12] latest/edge: 50200.17.0-4-g71917a58 2022-08-07 (369) 163MB - [02:12] installed: 50200.17.0-4-g71917a58 (369) 163MB - [02:13] i got: error: the required argument ` (at least 1 argument)` was not provided [02:13] pickanick: ps aux | grep snap [02:14] edit that will list running snaps not exacly what you wanted [02:16] hye i have problem with ubuntu 22.04 nvidia auto install command [02:17] this error appear when i try to auto install recommended driver [02:17] pickanick: kill any running snap with kill XXXXX then snap refresh and all snaps will be updated to current [02:18] https://pastebin.com/ydZVFT24 [02:22] when i use software and updates app and choose the "Usin Nvidia driver (open kernel) metapackage from nvidia-driver-515-open (proprietary,tested) my pc hang [02:22] after login screen === E-Man is now known as RaptorJesus === E-Man is now known as RaptorJesus === polo is now known as Guest6290 [04:58] sarnold thank you for answering my question.

[08:38] LP 1992026 [08:38] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1992026 in ubuntu-advantage-tools (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu Pro APT integration is a bit much" [Critical, In Progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1992026 === J-ro1 is now known as J-ro [10:14] Hello, I just installed 22.10beta on my new am5 system...I made a custom partition layout, with /boot on nvme0n1p1, /boot/efi on nvme0n1p2, / on /dev/mapper/vg_system/lv_root_ubuntu and /var on /dev/mapper/vg_system/lv_var_ubuntu [10:15] when I try to boot on ubuntu, it states: block device /dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_root_ubuntu is not a valid root device [10:16] how do I configure ubuntu such that I can have / on lvm ? [10:20] oh... found the culprit... The other distro I got on other lv's were running kernel 6.0.1 and 22.10 is on 5.19, so grub had choosen the 6.0.1 kernel for the ubuntu boot, by default === J-ro1 is now known as J-ro [10:23] why not put /boot and / on the same partition? I do that with zfs, works fine. [10:24] that way, none of my different systems interfere with each other [10:24] the boot and efi partitions are currently shared between the dists [10:25] i'm splitting it because efi aparently needs fat32 and I don't want to use that for /boot [10:27] Sharing /boot between dists sounds risky [10:28] exactly [10:28] even between different versions of ubuntu [10:37] hi there [11:14] hello\ [11:15] how work ubuntu on old machines now ? i dont want lag it, old asus wit i3 gen 2 and intel 3000 hd, 4 gb ddr3 [11:15] welcome halc [11:15] halc: you can choose lightweight ubuntu !flavour if you like [11:16] or tweak an ubuntu-desktop to the max [11:17] idk if its possible i remember new ubuntu work on heavy gnome or its changed ? [11:17] anyway this sytem is only for internet and maybe videos. [11:17] halc: gnome would like 4GB ram or more to run smoothly, unless you tweak your system and use some lightweight apps and such [11:18] kubuntu can be a bit to heavy, [11:18] lubuntu is joke they dont even change irc channels from ubuntu [11:18] lubuntu is pretty solid actualy [11:20] !flavours | halc pick n choose [11:20] halc pick n choose: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. For a list, see https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours [11:21] we also have xubuntu core, ubuntu server and ubunty unity 22.10 that could serve for lightweight use [11:21] I'd go with xubuntu [11:29] if ubuntu server would go kernel panicm would I see it in next boot journalctl? [11:29] I'm dealing with a ubuntu server randomly crashing, no help from logs on next reboot. Even the serial console is unresponsive after crash [11:30] so I fear hardware damage, but I have zero hint where the problem might be [11:31] /var/crash is empty [11:32] arkanoid: wich ubuntu release on wich kernel would this be? [11:33] lotuspsychje: 5.15.0-50-generic Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, but this problem started happening in 20.04. I upgraded to 22.04 hoping it would be fixed for some reason, which is not [11:33] that's why I fear hardware issue [11:33] arkanoid: kernel panics usully don't end up on log files. information on them is not usually persisted unless you take sprecautions to make that happen. [11:34] tomreyn: I'm reading right now how to make it happen. Installing linux-crashdump [11:35] exactly, that's what i wanted to suggest next. a serial console may also help there, but may not catch it fully. or at all. [11:35] tomreyn: I have a serial console available on the machine, but not a slave machine conneted 24/7 to it waiting for something [11:36] what you would see in the journal are oopses [11:36] it's a remote machine, so not easy to handle [11:36] ok, rebooting to make linux-crashdump happy [11:36] you'd need both. there's also netconsole, but it's less likely to work, since also networking needs to continue to work for that [11:37] tomreyn: I'll try to wire up a raspberry for that, thanks for the info [11:39] also automatic reboot would be nice to have if possible [11:39] when problem happens [11:39] I remember playing with something calling watchdog for that [11:40] that's to be done on firmware/hardware [11:40] which hardware is this? [11:41] tomreyn: I do remember setting up reboot on kernel panics via wireguard ages ago (early ubuntu) [11:41] I'm checking now if the mobo supports watchdog right now [11:42] /dev/watchdog is not present, bug dmesg shows [ 0.492116] NMI watchdog: Enabled. Permanently consumes one hw-PMU counter. [11:42] not sure what it means [11:42] i don't see how wireguard would be related to this [11:43] it means that your hardware /firmware supports the watchdog feature [11:43] DAMN, my head mixed words. I mean watchdog here :D (I use wireguard daily, thats a reason) [11:43] let me check in bios/firware settings if I have it off for some reason [11:43] brb [11:51] tomreyn: I've found that the system has a watchdog chip SuperIO NCT5104D and the firmware settings had it disabled. I can set it to 60 or more seconds, and after this time interval it hard reboots [11:51] arkanoid: did you recall at wich kernel version the panics started on 20.04? [11:52] if I remember correctly, watchdog requires a runtime component that regularly zeroes the counter [11:52] lotuspsychje: I've upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04 last week, so basically current LTS generic kernel on 20.04 [11:53] after enabling the wathdog with interval 60, I'm still not getting /dev/watchdog [11:53] arkanoid: yes, but you said the panics started on 20.04 so it might be useful to know at wich point exactly [11:54] the one you would have with an apt-get update on 20.04 last week [11:54] !info linux-image-generic focal [11:54] linux-image-generic (5.4.0.128.129, focal): 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.) [11:55] lotuspsychje: but the problem might not be kernel related, as it started happening out of the blue [11:55] at least this is what seems to me [11:56] arkanoid: possibly yeah, but as much as we can rule out would be helpful to get to your root problem [11:57] sure, that's why I'm trying to setup the required tools to acquire as much information as possible (installed linux-crashdump, setting up watchdog now to have multiple logs possibly) [11:58] arkanoid: if you could share your current dmesg of that system, would be useful aswell so the volunteers can have a look for you [11:59] even without showing the panics [12:01] lotuspsychje: sure https://termbin.com/k6tro this is the hardware https://www.pcengines.ch/pdf/apu3.pdf [12:01] 323 [12:03] I am now trying to get /dev/watchdog present in device tree, apparently NCT5104D driver/module is not present [12:04] might be related to dmesg line [ 11.078631] gpio-keys-polled gpio-keys-polled: unable to claim gpio 0, err=-517 ? [12:05] /sys/kernel/debug/gpio does not exists [12:06] no, my fault, it does exist (I was not root) [12:08] I'm failing to find if NCT5104D is compatible with ubuntu or not [12:08] I do find some drivers related to NCT5104D on github, but not the information if this is in the ubuntu kernel tree === janne_ is now known as JanneKro [12:12] arkanoid: looks pretty sane overall to me, just br-ce96dc609437: port 1(vethd92db2d) entered blocking state, im not really familiar with [12:13] arkanoid, grep NCT[0-9] /boot/config-$(uname -r) [12:13] lotuspsychje: the 3 nics are configured as bridge [12:14] ogra: no matches found: NCT[0-9] [12:14] find 4 modules for me on 22.04 [12:14] *finds [12:14] O_o [12:15] https://termbin.com/dfz6s [12:15] Hi all [12:15] ogra: it was a zsh problem, with bash I get 4 modules too [12:15] on 5.15.0-50-generic here [12:16] but no NCT5x, they start from NCT6 [12:19] well, perhaps one of the 6x ones covers 5x [12:23] let's see, do you know how to find the module name? [12:23] sudo lshw -C network [12:24] will show the driver= at bottom [12:26] according to the 4 driver pages here, none of the existing linux drivers cover NCT5104D https://docs.kernel.org/hwmon/index.html , the existing drivers are more for voltage, fan speed, temperature sensors, not gpio/watchdog [12:28] well, I'll give up the watchdog thing. Apparently linux doesn't cover this chip [12:29] I'm always quite surprised that a company delivers a chip before sending linux developers the source to make it work on the market the easy way [12:32] thanks for the help. I'll keep the linux-crashdump + pi reading console 24/7 [12:43] arkanoid: https://github.com/pcengines/linux-gpio-nct5104d [12:44] this is gpio support, i assume this can also provide watchdog support. [12:44] https://forum.openwrt.org/t/pc-engines-apu4d2-gpio-support/89357 https://cdn.datasheetspdf.com/pdf-down/N/C/T/NCT5104D-novoTon.pdf [12:46] ah, there is a dkms setup for it [12:46] tomreyn: damn, I've been googling for 15 minute and I didn't land there [12:46] Sure, I'll try it in minutes (having some food now). Thanks for the link [13:19] tomreyn: it fails with "dpkg-buildpackage: error: failed to sign .dsc file" I guess it's a gpg something missing [13:22] also I'm getting lots of perl: warning: Setting locale failed., but this is very old error I'm dragging from ubuntu 18 [13:22] seems not doing much damage [13:22] arkanoid, dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc [13:22] that will skip signing [13:24] thanks. Now it ends correctly but the .deb is not generated [13:25] I can see in the build dir that usr/src dpkg struct is there, I could just copy it without passing through apt [13:25] check one leve up [13:25] *level [13:25] yep! it's one level up (?!? quite confusing approach) [13:26] well, it does not want to taint your source dir 😉 [13:27] new approach would be put in build and have it in gitignore [13:30] ok, installed and modprobed, sadly no /dev/watchdog [13:31] dmesg shows quite successful output, trying a reboot to see if watchdog comes into play [13:33] hi [13:33] after installing the new nvidia driver i cannot boot to my os [13:34] i enter recovery purge the driver and then i can boot normally [13:34] after reinstalling blackscreen awaits [13:34] only mesa driver works but my os is slow as molases due to the known nvidia issue === cdown_ is now known as cdown [14:51] why doesn't the video player , i guess it is still totem...it just says videos now...it won't decode mpeg movies [14:51] i tried to play a movie and it says missing the mpeg parser plugin [14:52] but vlc plays the movie ok...so it is strange that the gnome video player won't play a movie [14:57] also i installed gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad for totem but it did not help to play the video [14:58] lagunaloire, is -ugly installed too ? [14:59] ioria let me see, i think i installed that one too [14:59] ioria yes i already installed it and it did not help either [15:00] ioria is it possible the video player is compiled for the older version of the plugins [15:01] lagunaloire, idk, but in general, if you play with codecs you should install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:01] ioria yes i already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:02] ioria i just can't understand why vlc will play them but the gnome video's app wants some unknown additional plugin [15:03] they use different libs [15:03] ioria yes i am wondering it videos is compiled for the gstreamer version 0 plugins [15:04] ioria but it is not good to mix the plugins and i already have some other apps that use the version 1 plugins [15:05] lagunaloire, what's your ubuntu version ? [15:05] ioria it is jammy [15:06] lagunaloire: what does lsb_release -ds print, which graphical desktop (ubuntu default is gnome-shell), which *gstreamer* packages are installed (apt list --installed *gstreamer*), what's the output for file /path/to/that_media_file.mpeg and what is printed on screen when you run totem /path/to/that_media_file.mpeg [15:06] !paste | lagunaloire [15:06] lagunaloire: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://dpaste.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [15:07] tom_reyn the first command prints ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS [15:08] lagunaloire, sudo apt remove gstreamer1.0-vaapi and try again [15:09] ioria ok just take it out and don't install it back [15:09] ok ? [15:10] ioria ok i removed it so now i inserted the movie and see if it will play [15:11] yes [15:11] ioria no it still says gstreamer mpegvideoparse plugin is not installed [15:15] tomreyn ok i listed all gstreamer plugins installed at this url https://dpaste.com/CD5YCWEK3 [15:16] tomreyn i am wondering if totem wants the old gstreamer plugins [15:18] lagunaloire: which old ones? [15:18] tomreyn maybe somebody did not compile it correctly [15:18] tomreyn it used to use the gstreamer0.10 plugins a long time ago [15:19] also a long time ago, yes [15:19] this won't be why [15:20] tomreyn did you see the list of installed plugins at the posted url [15:20] lagunaloire: i did [15:21] it seems that the mpegvideoparse utility (?) https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/videoparsersbad/mpegvideoparse.html?gi-language=c#mpegvideoparse-page is not available in ubuntu, though: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&arch=any&searchon=contents&keywords=mpegvideoparse [15:22] oh this probably ends up in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvideoparsersbad.so https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&arch=any&mode=filename&searchon=contents&keywords=videoparse [15:25] you could provide the other outputs, and also run totem with --gst-debug=GST_AUTOPLUG:5 [15:25] but i'll bbl [15:25] tomreyn no i don't have libgstmpegparser.so in that location...i guess that is why it isn't working [15:26] lagunaloire: unless you're on a different architecture: that's weird, because your apt output shows you have the package providing this file installed [15:27] tomreyn i do have gstlibgstvideoparsers.badl.so in that location [15:27] not badl..just bad..a typo [15:28] "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/jammy-updates,now 1.20.3-0ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]" is part of your apt output [15:29] file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvideoparsersbad.so is part of this package https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist [15:29] sorry, correct link is https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-updates/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist === beaver is now known as pong [15:30] tomreyn i have that parser in my gstreamer libs but it still says mpegvideoparser plugin is missing [15:31] do you have this file, or not? /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvideoparsersbad.so [15:31] tomreyn yes i have that parser lib [15:31] tomreyn but it apparently is not being found [15:32] i see. then you can try the debugging approach outlined above [15:32] tomreyn is there an environment variable that needs to be set for totem to use that library path [15:33] tomreyn the debugging approach did not change anything [15:34] totem should (indirectly, through libgstreamer) use this path by default [15:34] what does /usr/bin/gst-inspect-1.0 | grep mpegvideoparse output? [15:35] lagunaloire: actually, i'll need to stop it here. sorry i couldn't help. good luck. [15:37] tomreyn ok here is the paste url https://dpaste.com/4X62PXTK9 [15:37] tomreyn for the grep command [15:38] tomreyn i am not sure if the intel x driver supports vaapi..that might only be relevant for the amd gpu [15:38] lagunaloire, looks like your gstreamer setup is absolutely fine ... [15:39] but you have the binary VAAPI driver for intel installed and that does not find a card [15:39] ogra i don't know...the driver works for many games but i dont' know if intel supports vaapi [15:39] games ? [15:39] that is a video decoding driver ... [15:40] has nothing to do with games usually 😉 [15:40] ogra..yes i know but it seems to be included only if you have vaapi support [15:40] VAAPI is for decoding video streams/files [15:41] (and yes, intel supports VAAPI ... they in fact invented it 🙂 ) [15:41] ogra ok then that is not the problem either [15:41] err [15:41] that is definitely the source of your problem [15:42] ogra let me see what ffplay says from the command line [15:42] gstreamer tries to use VAAPI when you open an mpeg video ... and obviously then the vaapi library fails to find a card to show you the video [15:43] ffplay isnt relevant here [15:43] it will just use SW decoding if it hits the same issues [15:43] (by design) [15:43] so you should be able to i.e. play back your video with vnc for example [15:43] or any other ffmpeg based player [15:44] heh [15:44] s/vnc/vlc/ [15:44] (but it will indeed decode via CPU, no GPU) [15:44] *not [15:45] heya [15:45] i think it's a gstreamer issue [15:45] ioria, have you see the paste ? [15:45] ogra yes vlc plays the video fine..but ffplay just plays the first frame only and says avcodec library configuration mismatch [15:45] nope, which one ? [15:45] libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_14 [15:45] libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed [15:45] libva info: va_openDriver() returns 1 [15:46] ogra, ^ [15:46] thats the putput from gst-inspect ... [15:46] (before it prints stuff about mpegvideoparse) [15:46] i see [15:47] so i have a pi running ubuntu with ZFS .. and i have samba running on it.. any file thats on the system.. isnt accessible / executd over saba.. however,.. any file copied to the samba share is able to be executed .. the permissions/mask are pretty much identical [15:47] ogra that is strange that ffplay won't play the dvd either [15:47] ogra only vlc plays it [15:47] "the dvd" ... [15:48] yu asked about mpeg streams !!! [15:48] ogra yes it is a cheap movie i got at goodwill called "the last samurai" [15:48] DVDs are locked down ... you might need more to actually have gstreamer be able to decode the lock [15:48] ogra well what else could be missing [15:48] s/decode/unlock/ === sig is now known as bebop [15:49] ogra because ffplay doesn't work either [15:49] ogra it only plays the first frame [15:49] how about https://askubuntu.com/questions/1085627/video-totem-wont-play-dvds-while-others-vlc-can [15:50] also https://askubuntu.com/questions/500/how-can-i-play-encrypted-dvd-movies [15:51] the second one is more relevant i think ... [15:52] * ogra neds to go afk now ... good luck .... [15:52] lagunaloire, if you install libdvd-pkg , i suggest you reboot after [15:53] ioria it has already been installed..that is how vlc works and plays the movie [15:53] ioria it bothers me why ffplay shows corrupted video.. [15:54] ioria and ffplay doesn't seem to unlock the movie [15:56] lagunaloire, can we see the error screenshot ? [15:56] ioria let me reboot anyway after i dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg [15:56] ioria yes i can get a screenshot . [15:56] that was necessary for older versions, but ok === Scotty_Trees2 is now known as Scotty_Trees [16:07] ioria ok here is a gimp png screenshot that shows how bad it is https://imgur.com/a/Y0ngEAt [16:08] lagunaloire, ok, but i asked for the mpeg missing plugin error [16:08] ioria i have never had this terrible video from ffplay in all the years of past use [16:08] ioria ok let me get a screenshot of that [16:11] ioria ok here is the link https://imgur.com/a/YCpSTgw [16:12] ioria for the sceenshot when trying to play the movie dvd with totem [16:12] Install libdvdnav4, libdvdread4, gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly, and libdvd-pkg. ( from https://help.ubuntu.com/22.04/ubuntu-help/video-dvd-restricted.html.en ) [16:12] the -ugly one is important, i guess [16:13] Hello, I want to disable hard drive spin down in ubuntu 20.04, how could I do that? [16:13] I have a home storage/NAS server and the disks spin up kind of slow so I want to make it not do that. [16:13] oerheks all those are installed [16:14] rpnx, see this post, comandline or step 2; gui [16:14] https://linuxconfig.org/change-hard-drive-s-sleep-standby-mode-timer-to-reduce-power-consumption [16:14] select ' never' and you are fine [16:15] oerheks all those libs you mentioned are already installed [16:15] lagunaloire, then i have no clue why your movie does not play, must be a special codec? [16:15] oerheks ok let me try an older dvd disk [16:15] vlc got them all build-in [16:15] oerheks yes vlc plays it ok [16:16] lagunaloire, try this : cd in ~/.cache and rm the totem and the gstreamer folders [16:16] oerheks: are hdparam settings persistent between reboots? [16:17] lagunaloire, then, reinstall : sudo apt install --reinstall libdvdnav4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:17] rpnx, i hope so, else it is useless [16:19] thanks. How can I force ubuntu to redetect network adapters the way it does on first install? [16:19] I changed motherboard and it seems to cause some sort of issue during boot === Colere is now known as Sauvin [16:24] Привет [16:28] ioria it is strange totem plays the old dvd "treasure island" correctly but won't play "the last samurai" movie that i just got on sale at goodwill [16:28] ioria but vlc will play it [16:29] not all dvd' s will play, just a notice. [16:29] that a 2nd plays, says the software is installed right. [16:29] oerheks yes the old encryption schemes seem to work but the new ones don't === Guest1465 is now known as krabador [17:03] ioria if you look carefully you can see 225 mpeg decoding errors with this crazy dvd movie at this url https://imgur.com/a/Y0ngEAt [17:08] i cant understand why the intel x driver works for games but doesn't permit mpeg to be decoded properly with no errors [17:12] i guess that is why they seem to never finish with a fixed set of code for ffmpeg [17:12] after 25 years they still are changing the versions of ffmpeg [17:16] i can't see how many decoding errors vlc has but at least it plays the movie [17:49] lagunaloire, have you tried to rip it with handbrake to see if that gives you any errors/more info? === janne_ is now known as JanneKro [17:58] atlef..no i haven't tried to rip it with handbrake or vlc...becuase of the draconian dmca law in the us [17:58] atlef if it wasn't a hollywood dmca protected copyright i would rip it [17:59] atlef i got if for one dollar at goodwill store here in texas [18:00] atlef but i never thought ubuntu would have so much trouble with it === justVain is now known as justache [18:02] lagunaloire, ok [18:02] lagunaloire, but you can watch it with vlc? [18:03] atlef yes vlc works on ubuntu and windows and plays it just fine on both [18:08] atlef it is just a movie about japanese history and the legendary samurai warrior matsumoto...so if the videos app in ubuntu won't play it and neither will ffplay of ffmpeg..i guess i can just use vlc [18:09] atlef but i got it for one dollar because i like to keep historical stuff in my libraries [18:10] lagunaloire, that is what i would do. [18:12] atlef well if you don't live under the dmca law it is advisable to rip and save on a more reliable medium [18:12] atlef but i am not allowed to rip it here in the us [18:12] lagunaloire, if i bought it, i own it. it is mine to do with what i want, but thats me [18:13] you're also not allowed to use vlc to watch it [18:13] but who cares [18:13] lol [18:13] atlef..yes i know..i used to feel the same way about cassette tapes that i purchased [18:13] atlef i used to save them on a better medium a long time ago [18:15] rbox no i have the right to watch the movie on vlc...i paid $16 for windows 10 professional which comes with a licensed dvd player...so i legally can watch the dvd in any program i want [18:16] rbox and since i already paid the fee i can watch it on ubuntu also [18:17] ROFL [18:17] thats not how that works... but whatever helps you sleep at night [18:18] rbox...yes it is..i paid the fee for dvd priveleges included in the windows price..so i can watch it on gentoo and ubuntu and windows whenever i want for any movies i want [18:18] shall we get back on topic then? any more ubuntu support questions? [18:19] "dvd privileges"... lol [18:19]
