[00:09] * enyc meows crankharder [00:09] indeed ubuntu 16.04LTS is out of support [00:18] hello? [00:22] hi manu_ [00:22] i need help [00:22] i don't know how to use linux [00:23] with ubuntu? just describe the issue then, or ask your question [00:24] I installed obs with snap but installig the plugins or themes is hard because i can't find the paths [00:24] like windows [00:24] sorry if my english is bad im from argentina [00:25] and other things need to execute or install from the terminal and I don't know how to use it too [00:26] your english is fine, i'm not sure i can help with OBS, but maybe someone else can, if you describe the issue more closely. it's also good to provide some background, such as which ubuntu version you are using. [00:26] right now im using lubuntu [00:26] manu_: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/how-do-i-install-obs-plugins-if-snap-was-used-to-install-ubuntu-20-04.123557/ [00:28] nice [00:36] i can't find obs in the snap folder [00:38] so this, in a terminal, comes back as "does not exist"? ls -l $HOME/snap/obs-studio [00:40] the termina says cannot access '%HOME/snap/obs-studio': No such file or directory [00:40] terminal* [00:41] $, not %. [00:41] oops [00:41] tthanks [00:42] it says the same [00:42] cannot access '/home/manu/snap/obs-studio': No such file or directory [00:42] have you started obs? maybe you have to run it once to have it created? [00:43] obs is open [00:43] :( [00:43] xd [00:43] do i restart? [00:43] no, I don't think that'll help. I'm not sure what to suggest next :( [00:44] reinstall? [00:44] snap list obs* [00:46] does this say "error: no matching snaps installed" or something else? [00:47] manu@manu-Linux:~$ ls -l %HOME/snap/obs-studio [00:47] ls: cannot access '%HOME/snap/obs-studio': No such file or directory [00:47] manu@manu-Linux:~$ ls -l $HOME/snap/obs-studio [00:47] ls: cannot access '/home/manu/snap/obs-studio': No such file or directory [00:47] manu@manu-Linux:~$ ls -l $HOME/snap list obs-studio [00:47] ls: cannot access 'list': No such file or directory [00:49] don't paste in here, and you'd need to use this command on its own, on a separate line. [00:50] manu_: we can read you again now, if you have more to say [00:52] it says No such file or directory [00:53] snap list obs* would not say this [00:53] you must have accidentially typed something else [00:54] i need to leave for now, but keep your questions coming. good luck. [00:54] ok thsnks for the help [00:55] https://dpaste.com/9Y9YFXLK2 [00:55] this is what a typed [00:57] ah, it looks like you missed the * [00:58] oh you know [00:58] I don't think that even works [00:58] ?? [00:58] you're right it says the same [00:59] https://termbin.com/77va9 [00:59] I've got lots of snaps installed that match b* and c* but snap list 'b*' and snap list 'c*' show nothing :( [01:00] this is why i say i don't undestand linux, this things happen [01:00] the frustrating thing is that the *old* package manager did this kind of thing perfectly :( [01:01] but i found a very unconfortable and rare way to find the obs studio folder [01:02] in obs, i go to files, open settings directory and it takes me to .config folder and there is obs-studio [01:02] tomreyn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snap/+bug/2006526 [01:02] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 2006526 in snap (Ubuntu) "snap list doesn't do globbing" [Undecided, New] [01:02] manu_: yay! :) where is it? [01:03] but when i go to the desktop folder, the .config folder does not appear [01:03] it probably hides files and directories that start with . [01:04] can i change that? [01:04] manu_: try 'ctrl + h' in the file manager [01:05] oh thanks [01:05] now are more folders and the .config one [01:24] I did an apt upgrade and I saw this message: "The following security updates require Ubuntu Pro" Does this mean I need to pay money for security updates? [01:25] I'm on version 20.04.5 [01:27] juno__: No. [01:28] juno__: All of the packages that have always gotten security updates will continue to get security updates without Ubuntu Pro. [01:28] juno__: Ubuntu Pro is a new service offering security updates for an *additional* several thousand packages that didn't used to get reliable updates in Ubuntu. [01:28] Ok [01:28] Thanks [01:28] juno__: So without Ubuntu Pro, you'll get exactly the same security updates as you've always gotten. If you want, you can use Ubuntu Pro for free for up to five machines to get the additional updates that are now also available. [01:29] Oh nice [01:30] juno__: If you *do* want to sign up for Ubuntu Pro, just make a free Ubuntu One account, then go here: https://ubuntu.com/pro and click the "Your Subscriptions" link - you will automatically have five free Ubuntu Pro licenses there, along with instructions for attaching machines to Ubuntu Pro. [01:30] Thanks === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [01:58] dsf [02:00] I'd sure like to know what button I clicked between reboots to make it so that while my bluetooth mouse is recognized, and is paired/connected, the mouse pointer doesn't move. [02:03] deleting the device, then pairing it again fixed it [02:05] hello [02:06] this is my first time here. can anyone see my text === charlea is now known as litpap [02:31] Greetings, cgappleuser! We can see your text. [02:32] aaronprisk[m]: Sadly though, they can't see yours, they left. Such is the nature of Matrix. [02:32] (Or more specifically, the Matrix-to-IRC bridge.) [02:45] When I pause audio, and unpause it with my music player, it's extremely choppy. (But eventually plays normally). [02:46] I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and have tried Rhythmbox, CMS, Elisa, VLC. I'm not sure how to correct this, but was hoping to for school lectures. [02:47] What hardware are you using currently? [02:47] zterm86: ^ [02:48] I have dell XPS 13, and I believe this is RealTek, is there a specific command you want me to run? [02:54] man, advice from various stack exchange sites, forums, etc, is all over the place [02:55] it'd be easy to go insane trying to test those weird advices one at a time and everything === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [02:59] zterm86: Sorry, got distracted. [02:59] zterm86: Hmm, that's probably a fairly fast system. Let me do some digging... [03:00] Thank you and I super appreciate it. Sorry, I typically try to do more, but I'm a bit behind of school with covid. :| [03:00] Any pointers are appreciated, even if you don't have the solution. [03:01] zterm86: oh dang :( sorry to hear it :( [03:01] zterm86: Turns out there's a bunch of Dell XPS 13's out there of various ages, what's the four digits after the "13"? [03:02] (Or the rest of the model info or whatever.) [03:02] XPS-13-9305 [03:02] This is probably a silly suggestion, but you might find Bluetooth audio to be more smooth. [03:02] * sarnold marks down 08 feb 2023 as the first time someone suggests bluetooth audio would be more smooth :) [03:02] I can try this. I did headphones, no headphones, but haven't tried my bluetooth headphones yet. Testing now. [03:03] sarnold, the power supply fixed the issue :D [03:03] BinarySavior: AWESOME :D [03:06] Darn, not quite. [03:06] That's odd - Bluetooth audio bypasses the audio subsystem of the rest of the system entirely (I believe). [03:07] What other apps do you have running on the system, and how much RAM do you have? [03:07] Also, can you share the output of the command "uname -r"? [03:08] 16 GB (5 used), 11th gen i7, [03:08] 5.15.0-58-generic [03:08] I wonder if installing the OEM kernel would be helpful. [03:09] I'd be willing to give it a try. I have the unbuntu mainline installer installed. I was troubleshooting another issue in the past. [03:10] I'd try "sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c" and then reboot. [03:10] (The "c" at the end is not a typo.) [03:10] why c? [03:10] It's the latest one. [03:10] Installs kernel 6.1 according to packages.ubuntu.com [03:11] https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy-updates/kernel/linux-oem-22.04c [03:11] Newer kernels generally have better hardware support IIUC. [03:12] aha [03:13] Thank you, I'll add that to my list and will test that as soon as possible. My network is 1.5Mbps down so it'll be a while ;). But thank you soo much. I look forward to giving this a go. === ubuntu is now known as Guest2431 === Abrax is now known as |_ === |_ is now known as Abrax [03:45] so who do I report a bug to if I install spotify via snap, try to open a spotify url via firefox, which passes it off to spotify, which either then just gives me the default splash screen if the app was previously closed, or tries to open a new copy of itself (and errors) if I click the link again [03:46] its a http url I'm clicking on in konsole, thats getting passed to firefox [03:48] test [03:49] pong [03:49] mybalzitch: that's an excellent question; are there any messages in dmesg or journalctl output from the time when you click the thing?

After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [04:42] $\sqrt{-1}$ [04:43] Guest5845: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [04:44] sure, are you familiar with wsl? === litpap is now known as charlea [04:48] I'm guessing he was running Ubuntu on Windows and logged in as root. [04:48] That would make sense. [04:48] (I was a bit concerned seeing odd-looking snippets of what looked like Bash code being pasted.) [04:48] maybe irrsi? [04:52] quassel on wsl? that'd be one heck of an interesting stretch [04:53] $\sqrt{-1}$ is TeX, it renders a fancy square root of negative one [04:53] *wow* https://people.math.osu.edu/fowler.291/latex/ [04:54] WSL as a whole is a stretch. :P [04:54] arraybolt3: *nod* [06:40] hello === grub-reinstall_ is now known as grub-reinstall [06:42] i have know idea what im doing im just trying and i keep losing === binboupan_ is now known as binboupan === Mibixy is now known as Mibix === grub-reinstall is now known as HugoH [07:53] .

It's wherever you put it or where the program you used to create it stores it.

[17:16] leftyfb: hm. msmtp doesnt say to do that. most guides just assume the file is there.

Each year sees two releases, so just specifying YY is imprecise. See also https://www.ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle [18:44] myk_: why don't you have terminal access? What sort of machine is this? [18:45] leftyfb 22.04 [18:45] ash_mobile: did/does this machine have Windows on it? [18:45] regular ubuntu but installing headless video-dummy does something that when you plug a monitor in youi cant see the display. I am trying to disable it though grub [18:46] myk_: boot it with a live cd/usb, mount the root filesystem and make your changes that way [18:46] leftyfb: yeah, On a hard drive that's no longer in the machine [18:46] ash_mobile: go into the BIOS and disable the RAID [18:46] someone was saying something about getting in single user mode [18:46] leftyfb: roger [18:47] myk_: ok, then do that if you can [18:47] i dont know how [18:47] !recovery | myk_ [18:47] myk_: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [18:47] also grub goes so fast I cant see or select advanced [18:48] its not that I installed a script that blanks out the screen [18:48] myk_, how about just pressing ctrl-alt-F1 (or F2, F3...), getting a text console. log on there [18:49] let me try === DalekSec is now known as Guest5958 [18:49] no doesnt work [18:50] I don't see raid in bios [18:50] However there is SATA operating: normal/legacy [18:50] ash_mobile: what about Intel Rapid Store? === Guest5958 is now known as DalekSec === DalekSec is now known as DalekSek [18:52] I didn't see anything about that either, but it's a really old device [18:52] ash_mobile: are you sure your new drive is connected and functioning properly? [18:52] The Windows that came off it was XP [18:52] the bios detects it, and it was listed in lsblk [18:54] anyway to edit /etc/X11/xorg.cfg [18:54] through grub? [18:54] At least what was listed for sda was big enough to be it [18:55] I can pull up a in GRUB by ls /etc [18:55] but I can figure out how to edit [18:56] ash_mobile: are you sure that wasn't the usb or another drive? [18:56] myk_: no, you can't edit /etc/ from a GRUB prompt [18:56] myk_: boot with a live usb [18:56] I don't think so, but I'll check again [18:57] ok thank you I will try it [18:59] leftyfb: actually, I don't see anything as /mnt/usb but it's definitely not 3.6T [18:59] is there a way to just get the grub conf file up in grub and comment out a line? [18:59] ash_mobile: ah, a machine that old is probably going to have issues seeing drives over 2TB [19:00] So... Abandon this machine? [19:00] ash_mobile: try a smaller drive, under 2TB [19:01] Well, I could do that, but I kind of wanted to use this hdd [19:02] So, my guess is I should either replace parts or get a different machine [19:02] I'm trying to verify if this is an OS/partition/kernel level limitation or if it's also a motherboard limitation [19:03] ash_mobile: it might be quicker for you to verify with a smaller drive [19:03] I know you need a GPT partition scheme, but the installer should do that automatically [19:05] Perhaps, but I'll have to go through some effort because I don't have a blank one sitting around. The old one has Windows on so I think I need to partition it to use it [19:06] ash_mobile: do you really need to keep an install of XP around? [19:06] It's more about the data [19:07] I could go through it, but it'll take some time [19:07] ash_mobile: the data isn't important if it's not backed up. Regardless, how important is the data from an OS that was released 22 years ago and went EOL 9 years ago? [19:09] It's just personal stuff; docs, pics, videos etc [19:11] leftyfb: I'd ping you more if I were on a different client [19:12] leftyfb I'll try again later, thanks [19:25] hi [19:39] anyway Ok I have created a boot image on usb but grub goes to fast for me to select advanced. is there a way to fix this or a diffrent way to book [19:39] boot? [19:46] Hello! I have a laptop that went to sleep and after I open the lid, there is completely black screen (like, not even electricity in it), however, I can ssh into it from my other laptop [19:47] if I reboot the blank screen laptop, the system is ok (although, using nomodeset); is there any way to turn the display back on via ssh? something like modprobe? or start the video card? [19:48] or, have the display shown vis ssh to the remote laptop? [19:54] hey, anyone have a clue why Linux Mint 21.1 (Ubuntu 22.04) would take both the sound card output and the microphone input whenever I record something? [19:54] so for example if I am on Zoom, everyone hears both what it's in my microphone and whatever I am listening to [19:54] this was for a while after I changed the ALSA profile, but now the problem is back again [19:58] yes-ubuntu: try a bios update [19:58] I am booted into ubuntu 20.04 usb now I am trying to repair hd via terminal. how to I access the partition? [19:59] tomreyn, done that... no help; but I am still in ssh now and can issue commands if there is any good idea? [19:59] myk_: what do you mean by "repair the hd"? [20:00] I need to mod a file in /etc [20:01] yes-ubuntu: i don't have a good suggestion at hand. [20:02] myk_: you can use the graphical file manager to mount file systems and then edit the file. [20:03] I have now tried changing the sound card profile to output:analog-stereo [20:04] using pactl [20:04] but then I lose the mic input [20:04] it's gone as a device [20:04] so I can somehow not enable both output and input without mixing them? [20:04] it's very strange [20:04] loller_: i think linux mint support is on irc.spotchat.org [20:05] ok but this is identical I think [20:05] it is not [20:05] it's Ubuntu 20.04 underneath [20:06] please double-check your facts. [20:07] I have firefox running and had youtube play a 1 hour song off the internet... any way for me to restart that youtube video via ssh?! :D [20:07] well my previous profile was output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo [20:07] that gives me 1 source and 1 sink [20:07] but I can't separate them for some reason [20:11] when I run "pactl list sources", I get this here is under the relevant device: [20:11] Active Port: analog-input-mic [20:12] Seeing a weird apt update bug: [20:12] Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke 'rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/*.deb /var/cache/apt/*.bin || true' [20:12] Sub-process returned an error code [20:12] shouldn't it get sound only from that port then? [20:12] Any hints on how to debug this? [20:13] Really frustrating. While installing ubuntu 22.04 on a new computer, I loose the keyboard/mouse. Actually they work in bios and as part of ubuntu installation, but when ubuntu installation is finalize and I remove the usb stick, it performs a reboot. I still get "hid-generic: No inputs registered, leaving" and it does not timeout nor continues. [20:14] is there any other irc chat where I can get good ideas on how to tackle the blank screen issue? [20:16] hermano_: which computer model is this? [20:17] hermano_: are you using a usb hub there? [20:17] tomreyn, The motherboard is an: Gigabyte B760 Gaming X AX DDR4 [20:18] hermano_: is the bios up to date? [20:18] tomreyn, no usb hub, I had the machine built from supplier so I am not sure the front usb is actually connected, so I am using the rear usb connection. [20:18] tomreyn, Bios is from 16th of Jan 2023. [20:19] tomreyn, I also connected the screen with hdmi to the motherboard graphic card, to secure that it is not the extra graphic card causing any problem. [20:20] hermano_: so, for me to understand it correctly: installing ubuntu 22.04 worked fine. after installing it, boot stalls indefinitely emitting this message: "hid-generic: No inputs registered, leaving". is this correct? [20:21] tomreyn, yes. [20:22] hermano_: can you try booting in recovery then and see if you can use the keyboard there? [20:22] !recovery [20:22] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [20:22] tomreyn, Just a wild guess but the motherboard has bluetooth. Could it be that the errors are connected to bluetooth devices (headset and another mouse)? [20:23] hermano_: is your keyboard connected using bluetooth, though? [20:24] from what i read online, "hid-generic: No inputs registered, leaving" is just partial output. can you get the full line? [20:24] No, both keyboard and mouse are usb cable. [20:25] "hid-generic [what does it say here?]: No inputs registered, leaving" [20:27] hid-generic 0003:0B05:180F.0002: No inuts registered, leaving. mtd device must be supplied (device name is empty). [20:27] "inputs". [20:28] that's an ASUSTeK XONAR SOUND CARD apparently [20:28] can you disconnect that? [20:29] Yes, I have a sound card inserted with that name (external). Thing is that the supplier installed windows OS as default, and I reinstalled the machine with ubuntu 22.04.Is one way to solve the problem temporarily to disable tat sound card in bios? [20:30] I have this as extra card (ASUS Xonar AE 7.1), but might be the built-in sound card is also a ASUS, have to check. [20:30] possibly. i see reports of this sourd card blocking keyboard input [20:30] is it onboard? [20:31] hello, I'm having trouuble with grub after installing ubuntu on a VM.. I can only boot when i first go to the recovery mode, to select the option resume boot... I seem to find many articles with boot issues, but don't know which I should try to fix this... If i got an error message somewhere i would have something to look for, in my case the system seems to attempt to boot and just stops at the be [20:31] *beginning [20:31] The ASUS Xonar AE 7.1 is an extra inserted card (not incorporated in the motherboard). [20:32] hermano_: then i suggest removing it temporarily and seeing whether that will enable you to boot with keyboard and mouse support [20:33] oh, that's a pcie card, not usb, right? [20:35] lukdk: to me, this sounds like a graphics related issue, possibly with the virtualization you're using. which virtualization are you using, is it fully up to date, and does it support your ubuntu version? [20:35] tomreyn, yes the external sound card is inserted in a pci_ex slot. Not usb. [20:36] hermano_: hmm, well, i'd try nevertheless, since it does seem to be related. i assume it may provide an usb hub and that may cause the issue. [20:36] tomreyn, plan to use virtualization but have not checked nor activated that in BIOS intentionally yet. [20:37] hermano_: okay, but i wasn't talking to *you* about virtualization ;) [20:39] I am getting an intermittent error when I run apt-get update on a fresh AMI from us-east-1 (aws ec2) - I am not sure where I can look for help (or file an issue). It started with the version that was posted yesterday. [20:39] The error is about missing files - E: Could not open file /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_focal_multiverse_cnf_Commands-amd64 - open (2: No such file or directory) [20:39] tomreyn, sorry [20:40] that file does indeed not exist - there are files specific to the AWS region we are using though. [20:41] bensherman: try #ubuntu-cloud [20:41] gracias [20:44] hermano_: no worries, so i'd try removing the sound card and see whether this improves anything, and then continue from there. [21:24] booted up to ubuntu recovery can not save any file. how do i get write access? [21:25] myk_, recovery mode is read-only. [21:25] depending upon what's going on, it might be best to use a usb memory stick or usb mass storage device, or a network share, but you might also be able to use mount -oremount,rw /path/to/filesystem [21:25] thank you [21:25] i am booted up to the usb [21:28] for what it's worth, the option to enable networking in the recovery menu should also give you write access to the root file system. [21:37] tomreyn, I rather not take out the card, but ok let's say I take it out. After bios/ubuntu start without the card, would I be able to put it back or do you think it would conflict aftewards also? [21:40] kernel update 5.15.0-60 [21:41] tomreyn, After a extremely long waiting it just went through to ubuntu OS. [21:42] so, I am trying to somehow restart the video on the laptop with black screen via ssh; so far, I have done sudo service gdm stop and then sudo modprobe -r i915 then modprobe i915 and service gdm start --- but all without any change, the screen is still pitch black :) Any more ideas? [21:42] Ubuntu 22.10 is still alive there though as I have two ssh terminals open and one is running top [21:43] yes-ubuntu: reboot [21:43] leftyfb: nooo... anything else? :) [21:56] Hello, if I recall correctly, wasn't "grep -r "mytext" /var/www/   going to give me the line # on what where string was? [21:56] swensson: -n [21:57] swensson: from the man page: -n, --line-number [21:57] Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file. [21:57] leftyfb: Yep, correct. Thank you [22:01] Does ssh -X work on Ubuntu 22.10 ? [22:03] yes-ubuntu: I haven't heard that it's broken yet, but I don't have one to test with myself [22:03] I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with wayland [22:03] yes-ubuntu: it might only work with an xorg session though, I don't think wayland allows clients on separate hosts from servers [22:03] which I'm pretty sure if the default in 22.10 [22:05] So, is there any way other than remote desktop to see graphical user interface from a remote laptop if I only have ssh access at the moment? [22:05] yes-ubuntu: you can switch to xorg from wayland and use ssh -X [22:05] or use VNC or services like teamviewer [22:06] ssh -X won't let you see a desktop [22:06] it lets you run a client [22:06] well yeah, that too :) [22:06] I think "seeing a desktop" requires something more like vnc, as leftyfb said, or rdp, if linux supports that [22:06] or, uh, rather than "if linux supports that", "if an rdp client and server are available" [22:06] sarnold: What does it mean "it lets you run a client" ? [22:07] yes-ubuntu: you could run eg an xterm or evince or something on a remote computer but view the output locally [22:08] if rdp is remote desktop then yes, Ubuntu 22.10 does support rdp :) I tried it! it worked super cool! But now, I am trying to see if I can wake up the video by any chance... [22:09] sarnold: I heard about xterm but haven't used it just yet [22:09] yes-ubuntu, Install and run remmina. It runs both ssh and rdp. === pr3sonic is now known as highrate [22:43] The tomcat9 package in Jammy installs a tomcat user with a home directory of /var/lib/tomcat, but the package creates /var/lib/tomcat9. Some apps that require a keystore need it located in the user's home directory, so that omission can be significant. [22:44] Is this a known thing? Have I missed something important? [22:45] heinlein: possibly related https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/1834139 [22:45] hermano__: install the pending updates, reboot, see whether it helps [22:45] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1834139 in tomcat9 (Ubuntu) "The tomcat9 user tomcat has wrong home directory /" [Undecided, New] [22:46] I know that the tomcat user home directory was "/" in 18.04. [22:47] hermano__: thank you, I have it installed [22:48] for now, i've created a symlink, tomcat -> tomcat9, but that feels messy. [22:48] I have rebooted the laptop with blank screen; then I tried to stop and restart gdm remotely via ssh to see how it works, and it works nicely! :) [22:49] just that after, I tried modprobe -r i915 and this was successful... and still, the graphical user interface is running fine like before, without the i915 module? how is that possible? Or, is this because the system now runs with nomodeset? [22:51] it's possible the module had been removed, but the memory hadn't been overwritten with over stuff yet [22:51] removing kernel modules is not a very safe operation [22:52] heinlein: personally, i'd say the main issue there is that "Some apps that require a keystore need it located in the user's home directory". but i gues sthe home directory of the tomcat user should exist if that's a user which is created automatically / by default. if you can confirm this then i'd suggest to file another bug report. [22:55] sarnold: I do understand! However, what's the worst that can happen? Freeze? Restart, reboot :) other than that... and this now is a test machine as I am trying to see if I can do anything about this blank screen after waking up from sleep. [23:00] hello, I'm having trouuble with grub after installing ubuntu on a VM.. I can only boot when i first go to the recovery mode, to select the option resume boot... I seem to find many articles with boot issues, but don't know which I should try to fix this... If i got an error message somewhere i would have something to look for, in my case the system seems to attempt to boot and just stops at the be [23:02] ok I am trying to install a package in recovery teamviewer or update it buty i keep getting dpkg error [23:03] i am thinking its because it will not write to the drive. so how i specify to install to the mounted rw systerm [23:04] lukdk: last time you were here and asked almost the same, i answered this: to me, this sounds like a graphics related issue, possibly with the virtualization you're using. which virtualization are you using, is it fully up to date, and does it support your ubuntu version? [23:04] video-dummy [23:05] lukdk: note that your message cuts off after "in my case the system seems to attempt to boot and just stops at the be" [23:07] myk_: use apt to install packages, not dpkg directly, unless you know it has no dependencies. i would not recommend making changes in recovery unless that's really the only way you can. this should mount the file system writable: mount -o remount,rw / [23:10] in recovery i am trying to install apt install ./teamviewer but i keep getting dkpg run repair [23:10] i do it but no reolve [23:10] resolve [23:14] i'm not sure what a "dkpg run repair" is [23:18] Hey... I have modprobe -r i915 (the graphics module) and I stopped and started gdm and it works! Is that possible? no crash, all good. If so, why is i915 even loaded (if not in use?) [23:21] do you know that it is? [23:25] so teamviewer was my only way in to this computer. A teamviewer update knocked the only way I could get in out. I am trying to figure out how to uninstall teamviewer and reinstall. but everytime I try to install with Apt I get an error with dkpg [23:26] i used mount -o remount,rw /partition [23:27] yes-ubuntu: If you really needed i915, you wouldn't be able to successfully run that command [23:39] I have a somewhat strange situation, if i boot my machine with the usb installation stick of ubuntu 22.04 then it finds the external sound card and i also hear the sound. This is with the integrated graphic card. As soon as I unplugg the usb memstick and/or swap to the external graphical card, the computer will not start. [23:40] I guess I will have to give up, and do as someone recommended. To physically unplugg the problematic sound card and see if ubuntu 22.04 manage to load as OS. [23:41] well I just remembered I setup a backup with zoho lol [23:41] so I'm in [23:41] but still this should have been easy [23:42] Thank you all for your help good Humans!
