Thanks! === lucas___ is now known as lucas-arg === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [00:52] ubuntu 22.04 old kernal unmet dependendencies unable to fix or remove any ideas https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/HWfVkPTV4s/ [00:56] "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_1f0rmd'." seems to be the error preventing removal of package linux-image-5.15.0-57-generic [00:56] toddc: ^ [00:56] oww, this looks a bit annoying to figure out. I think I'd try: sudo apt install linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-57-generic- linux-image-unsigned-5.15.0-57-generic linux-headers-5.15.0-57-generic linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-57-generic linux-tools [01:06] is there a practical mthod of remapping a usb 10key kepad for macros? [01:07] sarnold: same error code 1 and unmet dependencies fix broken install fails [01:08] toddc: pastebin the new errors? [01:08] Gideon: what's a "usb 10key kepad for macros"? [01:09] tomreyn: I assume more like, a 10-key numberpad keyboard -- and the goal is to use it for macros, rather than numbers [01:10] external numeric usb keypad [01:10] ah, thanks. i just found it's a numpad [01:10] yes [01:11] on xorg, it'll be xev to get the scancodes and xmodmap to assign new function [01:11] I want to map for phrases for productivity [01:12] awesome thanx [01:12] sarnold: same no worries i have a backup to use just hoping a fast easy fix backup should be easy to sync [01:14] thank you sarnold and tomreyn [01:14] Gideon: but current ubuntu uses wayland rather than xorg, it may be different there. for actual macros or command execution, maybe what gnome provides for key assignment is actually better. [01:14] (in settings -> keyboard) [01:15] itd recognized as a device but not under keboard settings [01:20] that would also change my num on the keyboard. Iwant to use this external as its own fuction without changing my main board [01:22] if xev doesn't show different scan codes for it than your main ten key, that might not be possible [01:23] Nothing is Not Possible. Just means I have a lot of werk to do . Just wanted a clean start. Thnx Tho [01:26] you might need to write your own driver for this usb device then [01:27] oh that might be easier than flashing a new firmware on the device [01:28] That's what I thought and hoping to avoid. ;-) [01:29] Good new is, 15 year old targus kepad works great in ubuntu.

[02:06] Not too shabby. [02:06] same same bit wet here today [02:07] should i ask a Question hahaha [02:09] ok question is. i installed Garuda just to check it out.In the end there were a few things i really didnt like so i went back to ubuntu.BUT [02:10] and i say BUT. i really like there "konsole" it completed or predicted your commands. [02:10] can you have that on ubuntu [02:10] whatever is doing that is some random script [02:10] so you just need to load whatever that script is [02:10] i see [02:10] I'm trying to run gpu burn on an ubuntu machine - and get this error. - > https://dpaste.org/36Pb6 - any ideas on how to fix this? Where can I get help on this? Thanks. [02:11] ill do some research [02:11] pycurious: that looks like a bug in the code [02:11] rbox: it runs fine on my other 2 ubuntu boxes that have cuda 12.0 [02:12] ok... and? [02:12] hassletime: I wonder what shell Garuda uses in Konsole. [02:12] (Sorry to have vanished, juggling chat and work atm.) [02:12] hahah all good [02:12] rbox: what is the correct way to install nvidia drivers and cuda on ubuntu 20.04LTS? [02:12] from cli please [02:12] with the apt packages [02:12] pycurious: the ubuntu-drivers command. [02:12] Or... hold on I may have misspelled that. [02:13] Nope, I got it right. [02:13] "sudo ubuntu-drivers install" should autodetect them and do it. [02:13] pycurious: ^ [02:13] it seems to be a script called "fish" [02:13] arraybolt3: https://dpaste.org/RBjTP - is this a normal output of that command? [02:14] It's the fish shell with Starship [02:14] arraybolt3: It seems I've a bunch of those installed already - perhaps i need to clean them first correctly? [02:14] or is it that ubuntu-drivers devices - tells you with that list - what is available? [02:14] hassletime: I think the fish shell is available in Ubuntu. [02:15] any idea what starship is ? [02:15] pycurious: I think it's showing you what is available for your card. [02:15] arraybolt3: looks like its recommending driver : nvidia-driver-525-open - distro non-free recommended ? [02:16] hassletime: https://starship.rs/ looks like it. [02:16] pycurious: I believe that is correct. [02:16] I think "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-driver-525-open" should do it. [02:17] is startship the colour format? [02:17] no, it's a shell prompt thingy [02:17] PS1 in bash [02:18] arraybolt3: if its recommended -it looks like the "autoinstall" does it as well [02:18] Autoinstall is listed as "Deprecated, please use "install" instead". [02:18] Thus why I avoided it. [02:19] thank you sarnold [02:21] arraybolt3: NVRM: GPU 0000:04:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 0 [02:21] arraybolt3: looks like that ubuntu-drivers broke my nvidia drivers [02:23] pycurious: That seems unlikely since that's the tool that the Ubuntu installer uses to install the drivers in the first place. But... sigh, it's not beyond possibility. [02:23] arraybolt3: any ideas on how to fix? [02:23] Really though, this looks like a possible GPU fault, maybe not broken drivers. [02:24] What does "lsmod | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999" output? It should spit out a link. [02:24] That link will give me info to see if the modules are there and loaded. [02:25] arraybolt3: https://dpaste.org/HVWrN [02:25] Yeah that looks like the drivers are installed properly. [02:25] What NVIDIA card is this? [02:25] Perhaps it has the recommended driver wrong. [02:26] 3090 x 2 [02:27] Yeah, the 525 driver is right. [02:27] arraybolt3: https://dpaste.org/aoAHz - this is from a machine that actually works [02:27] Yeah, the loaded drivers are identical. [02:28] pycurious: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/nvidia-smi-shows-no-devices-were-found-and-dmesg-shows-rm-init-adapter-failed-device-minor-number-0/203986 [02:28] You aren't using GPU passthrough by any chance are you? [02:29] arraybolt3: no gpu pass through [02:30] pycurious: Where did you happen to buy these GPUs from? I'm suspecting possible hardware failure. [02:31] arraybolt3: 5 minutes ago - nvidia-smil was working fine. ubuntu-drivers autoinstall installed that 525 driver - and things broke. Why suspect hardware? Those cards are directly from nvidia. [02:31] pycurious: What driver were you using before? [02:31] 515 I think [02:31] (I suspected hardware because I was missing info about "5 minutes ago", and also was missing info about where the cards came from - perhaps they were old cryptomining relics.) [02:32] pycurious: So, ok wait start from the top. You had the cards working with an earlier driver. Why did we just install a newer one? What was broken in the first place? [02:33] Ah, I see in the backlog. [02:33] one program was complaining it cant run. I can run that program with driver 525 on similar machines, so i moved 515 to 525 - using ubuntu-drivers autoinstall - then hell broke loose :) [02:34] pycurious: OK. I didn't realize that 515 was already installed - I came in at "how to install drivers properly on Ubuntu" and just gave the normal, generic answer. Maybe we have a weird mix of drivers now. [02:35] pycurious: OK, what I've done in the past when I borked my NVIDIA drivers is just purge all of them and then install only the one I want. "sudo apt purge nvidia*" should do it (though be careful if you have anything NVIDIA installed other than the drivers!). [02:36] pycurious: Then try "sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall" again to reinstall the right driver. [02:37] give me a few minutes - will try - thanks === chris14_ is now known as chris14 [02:41] arraybolt3: when i run this - "ubuntu-drivers install nvidia-driver-525-open" I get "No drivers found for installation." === docmax is now known as Guest683 === docmax_ is now known as docmax [02:47] pycurious: Dependency issue ? See in terminal ' apt show nvidia-driver-525-open ' . [02:48] hello [02:48] Bashing-om: will look after the reboot - and report. Thanks [02:48] \msg [02:50] Bashing-om: https://dpaste.org/r5L8m [02:50] arraybolt3: ^ [03:04] pycurious: Was to focus your attention to " depends on the NVIDIA binary driver". what shows ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? [03:08] Bashing-om: 525.85.05-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 - at this point i tried the ppa drivers from nvidia - no use - all these drivers are giving me trouble. The latest one says "No devices found". dmesg says NVRM: GPU 0000:0a:00.0: rm_init_adapter failed, device minor number 1 [03:10] pycurious: No idea - but let's do look at waht all is installed - pastebin that ; ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' output, please. [03:10] From journalctl -b0 -g nvidia -> Failed to allocate NvKmsKapiDevice + Failed to register device [03:10] what* [03:11] pycurious: Sounds like the nv kernel module doesn't know your chipset. [03:11] Bashing-om: https://dpaste.org/GQ5Ep [03:13] jhutchins: I went from my nvidia-smi working 5 minutes ago -> ubuntu-drivers autoinstall -> 525 - and no nvidia-smi - then to 525 (not open) -> then to nvidia ppa driver (This one says no devices found) [03:14] pycurious: No backups or you wouldn't be here. [03:15] pycurious: Sorry. Still, that's the kernel module complaining, xorg usually explicitly calls out the chipset unknown. [03:15] I could also be completely wrong. [03:16] jhutchins: I can goto backups - but i 'd want to fix my drivers if possible and find out how to - and if ubuntu-drivers messes up things - perhaps that should not be recommended? [03:17] Meh. It works for a lot of people. Problem is, there are a LOT of Nvidia systems. [03:18] pycurious: My recommendation, keeping in mind that I might be completely off-track is 1) Strip out every scrap of any nvidia specific package you have. 2) Follow the instructions from the nvidia site EXACTLY, word-for-word, and install the driver that best matches your model number. [03:18] I am recommending a non-Ubuntu solution, you will get nothing but grief about it here. [03:19] jhutchins: Not true :) At this point any solution is a possibly good one. [03:19] I've seen the .run driver work when the apt packages didn't. [03:20] I don't understand why, I don't particularly like that it happens, and I usually would not recommend trying the .run driver, but in this instance we already purge all NVIDIA drivers and then reinstalled, if that didn't work, then the .run driver is a reasonable resort, if for no other reason than testing. [03:20] *correction - I won't give grief for recommending the NVIDIA driver, I don't know how others feel. [03:20] jhutchins: how do i strip? sudo apt purge nvidia* ? [03:21] pycurious: That's what's worked for me at least. [03:21] (For stripping existing NVIDIA drivers.) [03:22] You might, just as a precaution, search the system for nv or nvidia files. I don't remember how deep I had to go with that. [03:23] I do remember I was thorough and merciless. [03:23] Oh, clean boot after cleaning. [03:29] ok - after apt purge nvidia* && apt autoremove && apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau && reboot - the system did not come back up - port 22 - connection refused. So this will have to now wait till tomorrow - time to sleep :) [03:29] [03:33] i spoke too soon - it did come back up [03:34] https://dpaste.org/LdRac - where is this coming from? [03:34] I thought I just deleted everything and rebooted [03:37] This now shows 11 packages - dpkg --list | grep nvidia | wc -l [03:37] is it automatically downloading and installing things? why? [03:43] ok back [03:43] had to get some gardening done while there was a break in the weather [04:15] Have an old SSD (external) with Ubuntu 22.04; has a clean filesystem but broken boot sector. Can I rsync the root / of the old drive over to the new drive without copying the broken boot sector? Could I do this by excluding the /boot dir? [04:24] hrrm Whats' going on with this update to shim-signed ? [04:24] The following packages have been kept back: grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-amd64-signed shim-signed [04:25] if you explicitly install shim-signed (to update it "now") you get a conflict message [04:25] The following packages have unmet dependencies. base-files : Conflicts: base-files:i386 base-files:i386 : Conflicts: base-files [04:25] E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [04:25] yet, no i386 packages installed [04:26] ii base-files 21.1.0 amd64 Debian base system miscellaneous files [04:50] cobraeriko: there are the -x and --exclude options for rsync. it's not clear what exactly you are referring to by boot sector? the first block, or first few blocks, on an MBR partitioned disk for a BIOS booting system? or is this for UEFI boot, then there is no such thing. [04:51] enyc: i'm guessing you have mixed packages of different ubuntu releases or PPA's (providing newer / conflicting packages) [04:52] i'd start with apt policy base-files:i386 base-files shim-signed [04:54] no ubuntu release has base-files in version 21.1.0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=base-files [05:21] tomreyn: aaaaaaaaaaaaah its a derilavite thing and I'm asking in wrong place aha thankyou for the pointer to "apt policy" command [05:22] oopsie, and you're welcome [05:36] My old disk is a UEFI boot (since /sys/firmware/efi exists). Get a black screen where login menu should appear. My new drive boots with UEFI/GRUB partition and works. What dirs from the old filesystem must I exclude in the rsync command to not break the boot of my new drive? The /boot dir? [05:38] is the latest update of 22.04 affects secure boot? [05:38] (I am a linux newb and may be confused) [05:40] after updating my asus laptop 'secure boot violation invalid signature detected' is showing while try to boot with secureboot enabled. [05:41] i have disabled it and it works fine. i am also using nvidia proprietary driver. [05:41] cosmicrajiv: uname -a plz? [05:42] Linux ASUSUBUNTU 5.19.0-32-generic #33~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Jan 30 17:03:34 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [05:42] cosmicrajiv: i had a select bootup devices this morning on boot, maybe related im on 5.19 hwe too [05:43] yeah may be [05:44] and the great news is i am not able to use any linux os with secure boot enabled after that update. [05:44] cosmicrajiv: i got secureboot off for the record [05:44] cobraeriko: if booting off the old SSD works to the point wheere the desktop manager would load (but the screen remains black there) then that's a matter of configurations, driver loaded or similar. it won't be too easy to tell what you would need to omit for this not to happen. but maybe it's sufficient to just copy the user directory from /home/ ? [05:45] lotuspsychj3; i have also disabled secureboot. and i keep it disabled now. it's a crap fro microsoft. [05:45] fro/from* [05:48] cosmicrajiv: when you say this occurred "after updating [your] asus laptop", are you referring to ubuntu updates, to a uefi/bios upgrade, or something else? [05:48] after ubuntu updates [05:49] i had not even touched bios for a very long time [05:49] until that occured [05:50] tomreyn cosmicrajiv let me verify it still asks boot order on a new reboot here brb [05:50] hmm, so you're saying an ubuntu update introduced that you could no longer boot any linux system on your computer. the only way i could imagine this to happen would be if something went wrong while generating or installing the secure boot MOK. [05:51] no, cant reproduce anymore [05:51] boots to ssd by default === shokohsc69 is now known as shokohsc6 [05:54] i don't know what it is but yes i have got the same violation error when i tried to install fedora as well as opensuse (just for testing purpose) with secure boot enabled. [05:55] tomreyn; i don't know about all linux os but yes with these two along with ubuntu i have got the same error. [05:59] What I want to do is copy over all my apps, files, and settings of my old drive. So copying just the /home directory would be insufficient unfortunately. Can I reinstall GRUB EFI on the old disk, so as to resolve any broken boot configurations, drivers, etc? [06:09] cobraeriko: you cannot copy applications, you would need to reinstall them with `apt install ...`. You can use the new grub efi to boot the old installation, if both disks are connected [06:09] cosmicrajiv: hmm, hard to tell what happened there. i think there was a somewhat recent change where microsoft replaced their secureboot signing certigicate which comes pre-installed on many systems to a different one, and all other OSes which got signed by microsofts's were no longer considered "valid" with secure boot on. but i don't recall the details. with secure boot off, you won't run into such issues. [06:17] Ok, so if I can't copy applications, then I want to clone my old filesystem onto the new drive. (and I don't care about anything on this new drive). But before I clone the old drive, I must fix the broken boot loader. Would making a brand new grub efi on the old disk make sense to fix the broken boot sector? [06:18] *broken boot loader [06:21] cobraeriko: to make the old installation work again, you'd need to boot the computer from an ubuntu live usb/ cd-rom and chroot into the installation on the disk, then run update-grub and grub-install [06:23] most likely, because i don't know exactly what caused it not to work in the first place. one of the important properties of uefi booting you need to know is that the boot loader is not neccessarily stored on the disk the OS is installed on. in fact, you usually only have one "efi system partition" on one drive which all the operating systems would installt heir boot loader, too [06:23] *to [06:25] cobraeriko: are both disks connected currently? If so, as I said, you can use the new grub to boot the old installation [06:26] alkisg: indeed, I tried using the new grub to boot the old installation but to no avail. [06:27] cobraeriko: add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false in grub.cfg, run sudo update-grub, then the old installation should appear [06:27] If you try to boot it and it fails to boot, then upload a screenshot === Bocaneri is now known as Guest7366 === Guest7366 is now known as SenFache === xenial is now known as Guest9031 [06:40] alkisg: I assume you mean in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? or is it /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg? I assume the latter is the mounted efi partition and the former is the mounted BIOS partition since my new drive has a BIOS boot partion and a EFI partition [06:40] cobraeriko: in /etc/default/grub.cfg [06:41] Oh, thanks [06:42] GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER is already set to false I see [06:44] I will take a screen shot of where the boot fails and be right back [06:58] how do I share a screenshot on here? (i'm new to IRC) [07:00] You upload it to e.g. imgur.com and then paste the link here [07:00] cobraeriko: better, yet, at least for text, you'll use a pastebin, though [07:00] !paste [07:00] 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. [07:03] screenshot link: https://imgur.com/lfxUsYI [07:06] cobraeriko: this doesn't help; use the advanced options > recovery mode, to be able to see the text; then try to get a screenshot of the last error message before it shows a blank screen [07:07] If it's hard to get a screenshot of the last error, then get a video instead [07:08] yea, I'll try to get a video. Can I load that to imgurr? [07:08] i think they do videos as well [07:08] *imgur [07:08] will do thanks [07:08] cobraeriko: make sure to use the recovery mode, so that text is shown (the default mode uses "quiet") [07:09] right [07:21] well i took a video with my phone but the quality is sh*t. So probably not much use https://imgur.com/LHft5OO [07:22] hello [07:38] cobraeriko77: it's good enough to see it's not a problem with grub [07:39] cobraeriko77: do the same thing once more. Then at the dialog, select to enable networking, and then to get a root shell. There, type: apt update; apt full-upgrade [07:39] cobraeriko: ^ [07:39] * alkisg blames matrix :D [07:39] :) [07:44] Trying to use openconnect instead of 'cisco anconnect'. I havent figured out where to find the vpn host in cisco anyconnect. There is a dropdown at start with a name, but that name cannot be pinged. [07:45] Why doesn't ubuntu fix the small /boot size issue that leads to errors from not having enough space? If it is happening to me every time and upgrade pulls in something that goes there then it is happening to a log of others as well (everyon taking that update) [07:45] log\lot [07:47] hermano: there's probably a website where you can login to manage your vpn access, too, or download the anyconnect software from, too? it will be on the same host [07:47] hermano: fwiw (and you probably already know).. there exists a #networking on this server [07:47] just trying to help [07:48] blahboybaz, Sure thanks. Thas how it was on my previous assignment. But in current assignment you do not download cisco client, its preinstalled, so I do not have the portal webpage. Will ask around. [07:50] hermano: i think you can also make it log, or just see where it connects to, using sudo lsof -i or ss [08:00] hermano: no problem [08:14] I did the apt update and apt full-upgrade after enabling networking. The full-upgrade process ended with error code 1 and this screen: https://imgur.com/sQUsdRh [08:14] I had a video recorded of this but it was too long for imgur [08:16] Get the same blank screen as before when I try to boot to the old drive after doing this. for what it's worth === doc|home is now known as doc [08:24] Where should I go from here to fix the boot of this drive? [08:25] cobraeriko: hmm, running install-info failed, i'm not even sure what that is, let's see [08:27] cobraeriko: can you sudo dpkg -P install-info && sudo apt install install-info [08:29] Or try an apt full-upgrade once more, so that it shows less messages now, so that we see the error that install-info bumps into [08:30] wouldn't that print the exact same messages, though? [08:31] first I'll try what alkisg said. In case there's something there. [08:32] tomreyn: it depends; let's say there's a 50% chance to see the message now (since scrollback is disabled, and instructing how to use screen/tmux/script would take a while) === dennmtr is now known as dionysis [08:32] cobraeriko: actually... do this: [08:32] script -c apt full-upgrade [08:32] just left [08:33] #$(*&$#( matrix is getting more and more annoying :D [08:33] * alkisg joins from irc as well... [08:43] Here is a video of the apt full-upgrade https://imgur.com/8pAQZWy [08:45] well since the quality turned out so bad, you probably can't read the screen. well I tried anyway [08:46] cobraeriko: nah we can't read that. Try this instead: script -c 'apt full-upgrade' [08:46] And when it's done, this: cat typescript | nc termbin.com 9999 [08:47] ok thanks I'll try that [08:50] I should have netcat installed. Never done this before. How will you get the output/log? [08:50] cobraeriko: nc is preinstalled in ubuntu [08:52] good call lol [08:52] so I then just paste the url I get from running that command? [08:53] Right [08:53] thx [08:59] arraybolt3, you alive === ajfriesen9 is now known as ajfriesen [09:05] Here's the terminal log https://termbin.com/s5aqw [09:09] for what it's worth the process was super quick [09:09] so the post-installation script of the "install-info" package cannot seem to find the "rm" command, or it can't find the file it is meant to run "rm" on, not sure. [09:10] did you try to dpkg -P the package, yet? [09:11] --暂无历史消息-- === Lagair5 is now known as Lagair [09:11] dlpuser-PC: 2023-02-22 16:31:55 [09:11] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [09:11] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [09:11] hmmm that's interesting tomreyn. I'll try your suggestion now. What was the command again? [09:11] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [09:11] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [09:13] cobraeriko: can you sudo dpkg -P install-info && sudo apt install install-info [09:13] got it thanks I'll try that [09:14] dlpuser_: you just spammed the channel, please don't do it again. [09:22] So I tried sudo dpkg -P install-info && sudo apt install info-info and got this error: https://imgur.com/6bZGLDo [09:23] * sudo dpkg -P install-info && sudo apt install install-info [09:23] cobraeriko: sudo apt purge install-info info && sudo apt install install-info [09:24] cobraeriko: are you rebooting whenever we ask you to do something? If so, join IRC from phone... [09:24] or any other computer [09:24] And, what's the output of this command? ( tail -n 500 /var/log/apt/history.log; which rm; dpkg -l coreutils) | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:25] cobraeriko: actually, let's do something else [09:25] Boot with your working ubuntu [09:25] Then we'll tell you how to chroot into the non-working one [09:25] Hrm :) [09:26] cobraeriko26: boot with your working ubuntu, and we'll tell you how to chroot into the non-working one [09:26] So that you can use a browser for irc [09:26] And it'll be easier to copy/paste stuff in the chroot [09:28] Ok, I'm using my working Ubuntu. How do I chroot into the non working one? [09:31] cobraeriko: sudo lsblk -fe7 | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:31] cobraeriko: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [09:31] I mount the drive first, right? [09:32] Can I have to use a live CD/live-USB or can I chroot from my working Ubuntu? [09:33] either should work [09:33] you don't need to mount anything to run alkisg's command [09:33] ok thanks [09:34] to get peoples' attanetion when you speak here, add their nickname to what you say, like so: "tomreyn: it's working now!" [09:34] *attention [09:34] lsblk command yields: https://termbin.com/73r7 [09:35] the other command yields: https://termbin.com/1j9wy [09:38] cobraeriko: run `sudo -i` first, then run all these: umount /dev/sdb1; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; cd /mnt; for d in proc sys dev dev/pts run boot/efi; do mount --bind /$d $d; done; chroot . [09:38] oh oops. I suppose the command pertaining to apt history should be run after I have chrooted into the old drive, yes? [09:38] If you see any error message, mention it [09:39] why is firefox crashing non stop on any ubuntu, 20.x 22.x? keeps seeing that around the internet aswell [09:39] I would have removed it from the apps if its that unstable and shitty [09:43] Mornin'. I have a problem which I can't find any solution online: How can I add a local repo which I created with debmirror to ubuntu? [09:44] I can't install apache2 since I have to add the repo first to install anything, so I need to add the repo somehowwhile it's on my external drive. [09:47] stupid question but I don't literally type do in "do mount --bind...' do I? [09:47] cobraeriko: yes, you copy paste the whole command: for d in proc sys dev dev/pts run boot/efi; do mount --bind /$d $d; done [09:48] Including the semicolons [09:49] I get this return: 'mount: boot/efi: mount point does not exist.' [09:51] Arsimael: i *think* you just write the path to the repository into sources.list, like you'd do for a http archive server, adding the other options as well. [09:51] like "deb file:/path/to/repo focal main"? [09:51] at this point I've ran umount /dev/sdb1; mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt and cd to mnt [09:52] Arsimael: yes, i would think so [09:53] Sadly, this doesn't work. [09:53] cobraeriko: it's OK, it means that one of your installations is uefi and the other one isn't [09:53] cobraeriko: continue with the chroot command [09:53] Arsimael: is there an error message? [09:53] it sais it can't find "file:/path/focal/main/dep11/icons-48x48-tar [09:53] cobraeriko: feel free to type "alkisg" in front of your sentences here so that I know you're talking to me, I don't watch the IRC browser tab all the time... [09:54] But the file is there [09:54] Arsimael: try just "deb /path/to/repo focal main" or try "deb file:///path/to/repo focal main" [09:54] "alkisg", when I enter chroot I get "chroot: missing operand" [09:55] cobraeriko: there was a dot there, you missed it: chroot . [09:55] Not working. If I remove the "file:" it tells me my sourcefile is not correct and file:// tells me "Local uri's are not starting with // [09:55] "alkisg" , ok I got in [09:56] oh. wait. [09:56] Arsimael: does /path/focal/main/dep11/icons-48x48-tar exist, though? [09:56] cobraeriko: nice, now do the big command with the apt logs that I said before [09:56] icons-48x48.tar.gz exists. it looks for .tar [09:58] Arsimael: hmm, maybe there's some Acquire:: option to make it use tar.gz rather than .tar [09:58] "alkisg", when I run that command I get: "nc: getaddrinfo for host "termbin.com" port 9999: Name or service not known" [09:59] (man apt.conf - see also the debugging options there) [09:59] tomreyn, how? [09:59] cobraeriko: that means one of your installations isn't using the default systemd-resolved. Quick fix: rm /etc/resolv.conf; echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >/etc/resolv.conf; then repeat the big command [09:59] Arsimael: how what? [09:59] ah. I misread that. [10:00] cobraeriko: if you wish, we could do screen-sharing instead and finish this 10 times faster, if so ask me for quick vnc instructions [10:00] "alkisg", here's the results: https://termbin.com/zmksm [10:01] Arsimael: i got to leave for now, good luck! [10:01] thanks tomreyn [10:01] tomreyn, I fucked up the repo and need to remirror it anyways. Thanks for the help so far [10:02] cobraeriko: inside the chroot as you are, try once more: apt full-upgrade [10:02] cobraeriko: if it fails, put the results in some pastebin, e.g. paste.debian.net [10:04] "alkisg", will this suffice? https://termbin.com/ht95k [10:05] cobraeriko: press y, then see if you get the same error as before [10:06] yea I entered " apt full-upgrade | nc termbin.com 9999" and it didnt give me the option to press Y, just returned that URL [10:07] will this work? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3K5dnDp7PV/ [10:08] cobraeriko: dpkg -V install-info | nc termbin.com 9999 [10:09] Or better yet, plain dpkg -V install-info, without the nc part [10:09] And tell us the output, if any [10:09] yea, no output [10:09] with either command [10:14] "alkisg", for what it's worth, install-info --help returns the help menu [10:14] cobraeriko: try apt install --reinstall install-info [10:17] "alkisg", I got this result https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/3K5dnDp7PV/ [10:20] cobraeriko: do you mind if we do screen sharing instead? Something is very borked if /usr/sbin/update-info-dir cannot find the rm command, and things got very busy here so I don't have free time anymore... or we can postpone for tomorrow morning [10:21] I really appreciate all your help alkisg, a lifesaver. Can we postpone for tommorrow morning? I have to go too. What time is good for you? [10:22] cobraeriko: 4 hours before now is best for me [10:22] That works with me. I'll catch you then. Thanks again [10:22] 👍️ === gacuxz1 is now known as gacuxz [10:42] hey !!! [10:43] i need help with my ubuntu installation [10:43] i've installed xfce4 with the command line, and also xfce4-screensaver [11:00] garage404_, thats nice. But without a Question, we are barely able to help :) [13:04] I'm using Jammy 22.04 LTS. And i observe some time, that it logging out unexpectedly and then performing a clean boot when you log back in. This happen only when the power comes while my laptop running on the batteries, or i'm inserting somethin like HDMI cable. [13:04] Where i can find the logs for such events? inside Ubuntu ? [13:05] dmesg [13:05] in terminal [13:06] respawn, It's huge logs what should i find in it? [13:06] what is colored red [13:07] Green and Red both [13:11] I don't get your question? Do you know how to troubleshoot or find the problems in the error? === esv_ is now known as esv [13:24] I've created a Systemd service unit file, and it runs without any errors, but the service isn't injecting my EnvironmentFile variables into it. I define the EnvironmentFile=$HOME/configs/%i, which is the parameter passed when I start my service, like "systemctl start foo@bar.service". Is this syntax correct? Here is a paste of my service: https://termbin.com/6ort6 [13:35] Found it, I need to use %h instead of $HOME [13:52] Hi all [13:56] heya, what is a "partner" repository? [13:57] and another question, shouldn't this page tell how to actually enable the backports repo? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports or is it somehow enabled by default on Ubuntu? I can't see it in /etc/apt/sources.list [13:57] taylan, that used to be a repo where business partners of canonical could make their softwre available [13:58] but all these business partners have switched to snap packages nowadays (way easier to maintain) ... so the partner repo is pretty much gone from all installs now [13:59] I see, thanks [13:59] to ask about backports, probably ask on their mailing list https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports [14:00] backports have been dead for quite a while because nobody stepped up maintaining them ... around the 22.04 cycle some people stepped up and re-vived it again === chris15 is now known as chris14 [14:06] Is it possible to install a package using a file path. In RHEL it is: "yum install /usr/bin/ls", for example. [14:06] I mean a package providing such a file. [14:07] cent: the command to look at is dpkg... there should be plenty guides for this on the web I think [14:09] taylan, thanks. Let me try. [14:11] cent, sudo apt install /path/t👋package_1.2.3.deb [14:12]
