[11:04] <user|69> ydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:04] <user|69> https://termbin.com/620k
[11:07] <user|69> I am super suprised by your fast help! wow . . . happy to leave windows 10 . . . Thank you for all your help8)
[11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: let's filter the utput a bit, run: sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> btw is it a real PC or irtual machine?
[11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> virtual*
[11:09] <user|69> ok boss . . .yes is a real PC ASUS laptop
[11:11] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware | nc termbin.com 9999
[11:11] <user|69> done
[11:11] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: share the url
[11:12] <user|69> the command is not returning a URL  (?)
[11:12] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: ok run just: sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware
[11:13] <diogenes_Vx15> did it show anything?
[11:13] <user|69> no, just returns a shown above . .
[11:14] <diogenes_Vx15> i see, do you remember what error messages, any word from those messages?
[11:14] <oerheks>  [sda] tag#6 Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed .. sounds like a bad disk
[11:17] <user|69> after the boot erros . . .  Kubuntu loads anyway . . . i am using it now, my new Kubuntu to talk to you .. . everything looks normal!
[11:19] <user|69> I have 2 hard disks sda and sdb.  Windows 10 is in sda and Kubutu in sdb . . .
[11:19] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: how old is the laptop?
[11:20] <user|69> Windows is having some problems . . . its very very slow . . . could that be the reason for the error messages?
[11:20] <user|69> laptop is from 2012 more or less . . . 10 years old
[11:21] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: just try to cach some of those messages what it reads and then we can discuss
[11:21] <diogenes_Vx15> but even so, if everything works normally then there's no need to worry about.
[11:24] <user|69> to be honest i installed Kubuntu a month ago and it has been working fine until yesterday when it was not booting any longer.  I had to reinstall Kubuntu this morning.  I am worried that it will happen again because those error messages at boot time.
[11:25] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: then yes. most lilely your drive is about to fails, i suggest you backup all your data.
[11:26] <user|69> before i buy a new disk driver . . . are you sure i have a bad hard disk?  which one sda or sdb?
[11:28] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: we can test it.
[11:28] <user|69> i have nothing important yet in sdb (Kubuntu)  . . . no need to backup  . . . i think
[11:28] <user|69> ok how do i test?
[11:33] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sudo apt install smartmontools
[11:34] <user|69> ok  . . . wait please
[11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> after that run: sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda
[11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> and
[11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb
[11:37] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda
[11:37] <user|69> smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.0-56-generic] (local build)

[11:37] <user|69> [11:37] <user|69> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
[11:37] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb
[11:42] <user|69> sorry i was disconnectd . . . i have run both commands:
[11:43] <user|69> sda and sdb return as follows:
[11:43] <user|69> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
[11:44] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: could you install gnome-disk-utility?
[11:44] <user|69> yes anything you order . . .
[11:45] <diogenes_Vx15> sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility
[11:48] <user|69> done diogenes . . .
[11:49] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sorry i'm a bit multitasking so it takes longer for me to reply that i want
[11:49] <diogenes_Vx15> run in terminal: gnome-disks
[11:50] <user|69> no worries i can wait . . .
[11:50] <diogenes_Vx15> did it open the disks dialog?
[11:50] <user|69> its up and running . . .
[11:51] <diogenes_Vx15> ok in that dialog click on the first drive, then choose the Drive Options, usually represented by 3 dots or a gear
[11:51] <diogenes_Vx15> there select the option: SMART data and self-test
[11:52] <diogenes_Vx15> in the newly opened window look for the row that reads: Current Pending Sector Count
[11:53] <diogenes_Vx15> it should have the value of 0 sectors
[11:53] <diogenes_Vx15> if it's more than 0 then the drive has bad sectors
[11:57] <user|69> i cant find SMART data and self test . . .
[11:57] <user|69> it shows options for partitions . . .
[11:58] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: look on the right side just before the minimize, maximize and close buttons
[11:59] <user|69> ok ok got it !
[12:02] <user|69> for sda (Windows) test completed . . . it says Disk is, OK 539 bad sectors
[12:02] <user|69> now running on sdb (Kubuntu) . . .
[12:03] <user|69> Disk is OK (no bad sectors)
[12:04] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: look for the line: Current Pending Sector Count
[12:06] <user|69> yes that line shows 539 sectors for sda and 0 for sdb
[12:06] <diogenes_Vx15> which means your sda disk has bad sectors.
[12:07] <user|69> by the way the line just below "Uncorrectable sector count" is 0 sectors for sda.  can i somehow correct the bad sectors?
[12:08] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: there are some command to try to correct the bad sectores but the result is not guaranteed and you need to backup your most important data
[12:10] <user|69> yes i would like to try to correct, if is ok for you diogenes, the Windows data is already backed up.
[12:14] <user|69> Anyway, i think diogenes had to leave.  THANK YOU for your great help!!!  I am very impressed. Have to think about a new hard drive or perhaps a new laptop . . . :b  . . . or is it worth trying to fix those sectors ? don know
[12:16] <user|69> anyway, thanks to you,  i have decided to move to Kubuntu for good<3 8)
[12:17] <oerheks> bad sectors grow, IMHO
[12:17] <oerheks> replace disk
[12:18] <user|69> ok oerheks i will do that . . . thank you for your wise advise
[12:20] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sorry i got disconnected, if you want to try to fix those bad sectors, you can try this tutorial: https://ubunlog.com/en/repara-aisla-sectores-danados-disco-duro-estas-herramientas/
[12:24] <user|69> yes diogenes while waiting for my new hard drive to arrive . . . i  will try to fix those sectors . . . thank you again for your patience . . . you have a friend in France .
[12:25] <diogenes_Vx15> avec plaisir mon ami :)
[12:26] <diogenes_Vx15> dammit is ami friend of love? lol
[12:26] <diogenes_Vx15> i forgot
[12:26] <user|69> hi hi . . . dont want to leave this pace lol . . . yes ami is friend you said it perfectly
[12:28] <diogenes_Vx15> ok i remembered, mon amour is love and ami is friend :)
 Hello,
 I'm a bit new to the Linux Ecosystem
 and I got into a weird issue
 I'm using Brave browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently
 currently I'm unable to open .pdf file formats in browser
[14:17] <diogenes_Vx15> a_k_s_27, and?
[14:17] <diogenes_Vx15> how you wanna open it in browser?
 I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently
 I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently (re @a_k_s_27: I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently)
 its not openning (re @IrcsomeBot: <diogenes_Vx15> how you wanna open it in browser?)
 instead its opening a location chooser to download it
 but if i remove the .pdf from file name it opens it
[14:19] <oerheks> it is good practive to download a pdf file first, before opening it
[14:20] <diogenes_Vx15> a_k_s_27, drag and drop a pdf from the file manager into the browser
 actually i have a pdf file already present in my system
 1 sec i'm uploading a screen recording
[14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> that's what i mean
[14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> a pdf rom your drive
[14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> from*
[14:30] <BluesKaj> Hi all
 It's actually taking some time upload the video, sorry for that (re @a_k_s_27: 1 sec i'm uploading a screen recording)
 so this is what is happening with me here
 this is another recording please have a look at it (re @a_k_s_27: )
 it' very troublesome that all of the chromium browsers are having same problem in my system
[17:45] <andrea_> hi
 Hi how to show battery icon on task bar although full charged?
 The battery icon usually hides when full charged
 Right click on the system tray, select Configure System Tray.  Select the Entries icon on the left, find the Battery and Brightness option and set to Always shown.
 Thanks now it's showing
