[00:01] Can anyone help me, plz? [00:04] !ask [00:04] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:08] Bleeder001: I gave up on getting the AMDgpu drivers to install on 22.04 [00:08] even for general use outside of those apps [00:11] Wow. I regret buying AMD GPU now. I had nVIDIA GPU and everyone was against it and it's drivers. Now, that I have AMD....I regret. I purchased AMD just so that I can switch to Linux from Windows 11. LOL [00:12] I am new to Linux so I had to ask and listen and trust. Even people from POP OS told me to get AMD for gaming. So, I figured....if it works for gaming it must work for content creation. I guess I was wrong. [00:13] Bleeder001: Are you running PopOS? [00:13] No. I am back to W11. I do not like pop....DE is not my cup of tea. But do not see the difference between pop and ubuntu 22.04. [00:14] pop is based on 22.04. So, if it does not work on 1 then should not work on the other one. [00:14] that is not how it works [00:14] oh [00:14] pop is not a -copy- of 22.04 [00:14] just like ubuntu is not a -copy- of debian [00:15] 'win11 is based on win10' is probably about as true, and as not-useful a thing to say too :) [00:15] Well, I figured that out but since it is based on...the "under the hood" thing must be the same, no? [00:16] they could be, but i believe in this case they are not [00:16] I know pop has nvidia specific iso....wish they had one for amd pro [00:16] of course there's a lot of overlap [00:16] long story short: Ubuntu is supported here. PopOS is not. [00:16] yes [00:16] very true and very important [00:17] One thing is that when I tried pop with my nvidia and under drivers it said proprietary but amd pro does not get detected. Reason why I do not use nvidia is because that gpu is dead. [00:18] ravage I know. That is why I am asking Ubuntu guys on how to get it on Ubuntu. We just spoke about pop. unless pop keyword can get you banned...then will not use it again. [00:18] Bleeder001: let us know when you decide to install ubuntu and need help with it. If you'd like to just chat about ubuntu, feel free to join #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic [00:19] I had ubuntu installed last night and followed the instructions on amd website and some ubuntu forum thingy or whatever it was. [00:19] I can install it now...any guide to follow? [00:19] link? [00:19] for how to install ubuntu? [00:19] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#1-overview [00:20] No. You asked when I am willing to install Ubuntu. I am saying...now. So, is there a link to follow on AMD GRPU PRO install that works? [00:21] what excactly to you need the pro driver for? [00:21] Bleeder001: this looks promising https://community.amd.com/t5/devgurus-discussion/amdgpu-install-on-ubuntu-22-04-1-lts/m-p/555201 [00:21] ravage Blender and DaVinci Resolve [00:22] leftyfb I followed that last night and it installed fine....but no software recognizes the drivers. As if they are NOT installed. [00:22] Even under the drivers they are not visible. [00:23] Bleeder001: it's pretty tough to troubleshoot without ubuntu installed [00:23] What command should I type...? Will be here in 15...I can get it installed by that time? [00:23] Bleeder001: and what is the exact feature the included amdgpu driver does not support for these tools? [00:24] DaVinci says no gpu detected and blender says no HIP compatible gpu detected [00:25] I also followed this entire guide on how to install the drivers and tried EVRY single option to run. On each install. Yes, I re-installed Ubuntu 10x. I am that guy. https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ [00:26] Bleeder001: let us know when you have ubuntu installed and the GPU drivers installed and we can troubleshoot from there [00:26] I want to switch to Linux so bad but Linux does not work for me. [00:26] ok brb [00:50] OK I am back. Ubuntu is installed and upto date. Should I install AMD GPU with based on the website you provided? https://community.amd.com/t5/devgurus-discussion/amdgpu-install-on-ubuntu-22-04-1-lts/m-p/555201 [00:52] probably not, but you might have to tag of for restricted drivers [00:53] Bleeder001: yes [00:53] ok sec [00:54] is that basic now? I mean, downloading drivers directly from AMD ? [00:55] I downloaded the driver from the website as per instruction and then installed the .deb file. Now, I am running that command to install the drivers. [00:55] That is what that website and amd official website is recommandning. [00:55] *recommending [00:55] Bleeder001: did you follow the instructions from the "solution" from the link I gave you? [00:55] yes [00:55] it is finishing the install [00:55] dragon_: I think the drivers included in the ubuntu-drivers tool are for graphics sorts of things and if you want to cuda sorts of things (or whatever amd calls cuda) then you've got ot use their drivers [00:56] Building initial module for 5.19.0-35-generic [00:56] I see, thanks for letting me know [00:56] dragon_I need pro drivers because of Blender and DaVinci...CUDA like thing. [00:56] I have few of these...

I copied the text I get with that link [01:04] ok, looks like you're running amdgpu which looks right [01:04] now, how are you installing blender? [01:05] I'm surprised about the 'you should run this program as super-user' bit [01:05] I have both....the DL zip file or whatever and the snap [01:05] lshw wants root [01:05] Bleeder001: there's problem #1 [01:05] Bleeder001: first, never use the .zip [01:05] leftyfb: and your commands had the 'sudo' .. [01:06] I fist tried snap and then the DL [01:06] Bleeder001: the main problem with blender was how you had it installed with snap ... do this: sudo snap install blender --classic # remove the snap if you've already installed it first [01:06] Both have same msg...missing HIP supported driver [01:07] Yes, I followe that command...let me try again [01:07] Bleeder001: the --classic is important [01:07] blender 3.4.1 from Blender Foundation (blenderfoundation✓) installed [01:07] OK. So snap blender with classic thing...same msg [01:08] as for DaVinci...no gpu detected. [01:08] sudo snap install blender --classic is the command I used [01:08] Bleeder001: davinici is not a supported application, so we can forget about that one [01:08] ok [01:09] Should my gpu drivers be visible under Additional Drivers like nVIDIA was before? [01:10] Bleeder001: lshw showed "amdgpu" as your active driver [01:10] Bleeder001: please copy and paste the error from blender or screenshot it [01:11] Hi, I am new user of Ubuntu, running 21.10 which is outdated.

I am wondering if it is because of that command and if it is, why? [01:19] your user wasn't added to the "video" or "render" groups for whatever reason [01:19] oh I see. [01:20] I will save that command for next install. [01:20] Is there a command that I can use to test if those drivers are actually working as intended? [01:20] Bleeder001: probably a result of using the proprietary drivers you're using that don't setup all the things like the drivers from the OS would do [01:23] leftyfb Thank you so much for the help. I can now finally switch to Linux. Will test this app to see if Blender will render using the GPU or if that is cosmetics only. === chris14_ is now known as chris14 === joel_ is now known as wantom [03:18] Hey guys, when I power my Ubuntu 22.04 server VM in virt-manager, once it passes the BIOS screen, the screen just goes black and nothing is shown, no boot-info, no login prompt etc. [03:19] At one point I apt remove'd the linux-firmware package from the VM... [03:19] I can SSH into the VM and it works fine. [03:20] But it's a bit of a problem that I can't see anything incase I mess up the network config etc and need to sort it out. [03:20] I've re-installed the linux-firmware package and it's still showing a black screen. [03:20] I wonder if it's because I installed linux-image-kvm and removed linux-image-generic ? [03:21] I've tried changing the video from virtio to VGA, bochs, QXL, ramfb etc none of them resolve the issue. [03:22] The other thing I can do though is just leave it with a black screen and snapshot the VM before making any network changes and rollback if I "brick" it. [03:23] Lope: it's possible the linux-image-kvm change did it, there's a difference in package deps.. [03:23] $ apt-cache show linux-image-kvm | grep -e Depends -e Recommends [03:23] Depends: linux-image-5.4.0-1087-kvm [03:23] ... [03:23] $ apt-cache show linux-image-generic | grep -e Depends -e Recommends [03:23] Depends: linux-image-5.4.0-144-generic, linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-144-generic, linux-firmware, intel-microcode, amd64-microcode [03:23] Recommends: thermald [03:23] ... [03:24] maybe the linux-modules-extras-... package brings in something needed for graphics? [03:24] I also wouldn't recommend removing linux-firmware [03:24] leftyfb, why though? there's so much drivers for physical hardware that I don't need. the VM runs fine without it [03:25] Lope: if it runs fine, then you wouldn't be here complaining that it's not running fine [03:25] There's an Ubuntu bug to move the KVM graphics firmware out of linux-firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1960633 [03:25] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1960633 in linux (Ubuntu) "Move virtual graphics drivers from linux-modules-extra to linux-modules" [Medium, Confirmed] [03:25] but it seems like it hasn't been done yet in 22.04 [03:25] ooh, let me see if I have linux-modules-extra [03:25] leftyfb, no need to be a smart-ass. it's not helpful for anyone. [03:27] I don't have linux-modules-extra package installed [03:28] I see there's linux-modules-extra-{gcp,aws,azure} and a whole ton of specific kernels, but there's no linux-modules-extra-kvm package or even a linux-modules-extra-generic package. [03:29] interesting; I thought the main difference between -kvm and -generic was that kvm would go something like 30s before flushing data to storage [03:29] I hadn't realized it might just plain have fewer modules available [03:29] Lope: sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-35-$(unamr -r)-generic [03:29] I'm running 5.15.0-1028-kvm kernel, I see the only similar linux-modules-extra packages are linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-1028-aws and linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-1028-gke [03:30] i wonder if I should try the AWS kernel... [03:30] what is GKE? [03:30] I wonder if AWS kernel is for KVM? [03:30] might be some ARM shit though... [03:30] are you running on AWS or Google Kubernetes? [03:31] no, running on AMD Ryzen x86_64 and Xeon 4th gen. [03:31] then you don't install the aws or gke [03:31] What is GKE? [03:31] Lope: do you have a specific reason you removed the -generic kernel and installed -kvm? [03:32] leftyfb, generic has hundreds of MB of drivers for physical hardware like graphics and network cards [03:32] I'm running a VM, in KVM, so naturally I installed the KVM kernel. [03:33] but Ubuntu 22.04 linux-image-kvm appears to lack the basic required drivers/firmware (or dependencies with them) for a KVM VM to work properly [03:33] As per the bug that I linked above. [03:33] So the linux-image-kvm is a bit half baked in 22.04 [03:35] What I don't understand though, is in the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1960633 [03:35] -ubottu:#ubuntu- Launchpad bug 1960633 in linux (Ubuntu) "Move virtual graphics drivers from linux-modules-extra to linux-modules" [Medium, Confirmed] [03:35] it says This bug was fixed in the package linux - 5.15.0-23.23 [03:35] But I'm running 5.15.0-1028-kvm kernel [03:37] Lope: I would highly recommend just installing the hwe kernel to get things running the way you want and have a longer supported kernel [03:40] leftyfb, interesting, I see there is linux-virtual-hwe-22.04 and linux-virtual-hwe-22.04-edge [03:40] those look interesting. [03:40] but it's concerning to me that they have 22.04 in the name. [03:41] so I'd need to manually swap those packages once I upgrade beyond 22.04 [03:41] but anyway, I'll give them a go, thanks for the hwe tip. [03:42] Lope: are you running Virtualbox? [03:43] no, KVM [03:43] Lope: GKE is a google cloud compute environment [03:43] Lope: it's probably easiest to just stick with the default kernel [03:43] Does virtual mean virtualbox or virtual machine? [03:43] Lope: then why would you install the -virtual kernel? [03:43] I assumed it means virtual machine [03:43] otherwise why isn't it called vbox or virtualbox? [03:44] Lope: sudo apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04 # install the proper kernel and be done with it [03:45] Lope: apt show # this will give you a description of packages going forward [03:46] it says the virtual packages are for virtual machines [03:46] https://askubuntu.com/questions/257416/what-are-practical-advantages-of-using-linux-image-virtual-kernel [03:46] thanks, I know how to use apt.

In 22.04.1, the initrd was relatively easy for me to understand, unpack, make the necessary change to, and repack. It seems to have gotten a lot more complicated though. Does anyone know how I can unpack the files from it, modify them and properly repack it? If I just use cpio, I get just the first archive, which is just CPU [10:31] microcode, not the filesystem that becomes the root during boot. The machine I am moving from isn't working, but I have the contents of the disks, so I can chroot into the system, but I will have a different kernel from a live USB or other system I guess, so I'm looking for something that just unpacks and modifies the files, not builds an initrd suitable for the current kernel. === shokohsc61 is now known as shokohsc6 [10:38] sipos: why dont you chroot into the encrypted system from a live usb and do stuff from there? [10:39] update-initramfs for the desired kernel [11:08] EriC^^, That is exactly what I think I need to do, but I'm not sure what tool to use (update-initramfs sounds like the one) and how to ensure it isn't messed up by assuming that the currently running kernel (from the live CD) is the one it will be booted by. Thinking about it, this must be something the tool has to deal with all the time though, when kernel upgrades happen. [11:10] I'll have a look at the documentation fot update-initramfs. That probably does what I need. Thanks! [11:15] Hi, I need som help. I installed "Nvidia 25" drivers on my Ubuntu laptop. It asked me to provide a password for som "Safe boot".

[11:30] If I chroot (into a broken system, from live USB) do I need to do anything other than mount the boot and ESP partition and the following other mounts: `mount -t proc proc /rescue/proc && mount -t sysfs sys /rescue/sys && mount -o bind /dev /rescue/dev && mount -t devpts pts /rescue/dev/pts` and then just `chroot /rescue`?

[14:00] according to ubuntu certificate and nvidia driver page it is supported on all the driver versions but this does not reflect real life [14:00] this is a second reason because if I could find a way to test it I would look for bug reports that are related to my case...

[14:22] but I can't do anything.neither modify nor add or remove the partition [14:23] nadia995: so you are installing ubuntu desktop next to an existing windows 10 installation. which version of ubuntu are you installing? are you using automatic partitioning? [14:23] are you meaning to install ubuntu on the same disk as windows, or a different one? [14:24] ubuntu 22.04 lts jammy jellyfish [14:24] and no, because I don't know how use automatic partitioning [14:25] and yes i want install ubuntu on the same disk as windows [14:25] nadia995: go into your BIOS and look for RAID settings. If you have it enabled, you'll need to disable it for Ubuntu but then you'll lose your Windows installation [14:26] i can't change a lot of bios setting [14:26] nadia995: why not? [14:27] i don't know but a lot of them are off [14:27] nadia995: is there a setting for RAID somewhere? Look through all the settings [14:28] no there isn't. [14:28] i can try but i don't want lose windows [14:29] you should definitely backup before doing a multi-boot installation [14:29] ok I already did a backup [14:29] well then it should be ok to loose it? [14:32] while nadia is gone, there seems to be a way around breaking windows by switching the SATA mode from RAID -> AHCI: https://www.mysysadmintips.com/windows/clients/771-change-sata-operation-mode-from-raid-to-ahci-without-re-installing-windows [14:32] they said there was no RAID setting in their BIOS [14:33] they also said "i can try but i don't want lose windows" [14:33] yeah, that was a bit confusing [14:33] tomreyn, thanks I know. however I just want it to crash reliably because then I could go over the drivers one by one and select the one that *Actually* supports my card.. [14:34] so what I am looking for is a method to make nvidia driver fail for test purposes. I don't know any [14:35] mncheckm: I don't suppose you've considered reviewing the documentation on the Nvidia driver site to get the correct answer. [14:37] if it fails constantly with all drivers i'd suspect hardware ... like th PSU not powerful enough to even drive the card causing brownouts of parts of your HW, stuck fans (though that would give you temperature warnings i guess), lose cables, card not sitting properly in the socket, etc etc [14:37] jhutchins, what exactly do you mean? there is the hosted multi page readme, the forums, release highlights, list of supported products, or do you mean something else? [14:37] it is extremely unlikely that you face an actual driver issues and millions of other users do not ... [14:38] ogra, thanks [14:38] ogra, well there are at least 4 lenovo p720 that all do this [14:38] maybe you are right [14:38] "Max Power Consumption 68 W" is quite a bit for that generation for sure [14:38] I should re calculate the power... [14:40] but then it supports "mission-critical digital signage solutions" (LOL) with 8 mini DP [14:44] well, i can not imagine that lenovo does not equip the system with the correct PSU ... was the nvidia card an upgrade ? [14:44] or did it come equipped with that card ? [14:47] ogra, it is lenovo part number 00FC905 [14:49] there are Machine Types 30BA and 30BB for ThinkStation P720 [14:50] Did you also notice that pipewire is consuming the most amount of energy on the system? I just checked with powertop [14:50] and it is actually taking more energy than my display on the lapotp [14:50] oh 00FC905 is the graphics card [14:52] P720 Power Supply Unit: 690W or 1000W - that should be enough [14:54] tomreyn, it is 30BB [14:55] mncheckm: so one of these https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/ThinkStation/ThinkStation_P720?MT=30BB [15:04] tomreyn, well it is not listed there for some reason but yes, it has 2x xeon silver 4114 and it only has the nvs 810 currently [15:05] the psu is 900w [15:27] mncheckm: whether the PSU is sufficient will depend on all components installed, of course (and we don't know which ones those are, since you have a customized model), so you'll need to do the math on your own. 900W is plenty, but with enough parts you could reach that. [15:39] after 2 weeks, why is the grub-efi-amd64-bin package still being kept back? === pong is now known as beaver === leprechaun__ is now known as leprechaun [15:47] tomreyn, say 222w for cpus, drives, add 70w for the gpu [15:47] 222w includes the ram === osprey is now known as blackhawk [16:24] ogra, maybe its not the power? [16:27] hello, i have some errors when doing "sudo apt-get autoremove" [16:27] https://pastebin.com/xWEWXLKh [16:27] any idea how can i fix this please ? [16:27] I was just unable to find how ubuntu developers test these hardware [16:28] there must be some test sequence or test suite that I could run, I thought, I just can't find it [16:28] I have errors with "sudo apt-get update" too (https://pastebin.com/xUDv2XSj) , I think this errors happens because I closed the terminal when doing a dist-upgrade before it finish [16:32] mncheck: Usually individual developers who happen to own the hardware try it and see if it needs to be modified to work. [16:33] Losdal, try lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat to see what PID or process ids are using flock on your debconf database [16:33] another program is supposedly installing or configuring something [16:34] jhutchins, is there no shared test plan? [16:34] or common parts of? [16:34] mncheck : i have this https://pastebin.com/yYuSbd30 [16:36] mncheck: Driver development also tends to happen above the Distribution level, often associated with kernel development (understandably). [16:36] mncheck, "snap info checkbox" or look at v [16:36] bah [16:36] https://snapcraft.io/checkbox [16:36] Losdal, there was "t" on the end of your command line and it is breaking the command. remove the " t" from the end. the warnings are about docker file systems can be ignored [16:37] Losdal, you can try lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat | grep -v -i -e incomplete -e docker [16:37] mncheck : its nearly the same output without "t" , https://pastebin.com/JzjBsbn3 [16:38] mncheck the command output with grep : https://pastebin.com/bSjQ5kNP [16:44] Losdal, sorry my grep was bogus [16:44] Losdal, however it does not matter, the output would be empty [16:46] Losdal, are you the only user of the machine? [16:46] mncheck: yes [16:46] Losdal, do you see any other installation ongoing? [16:48] mncheck: no, but before 1 hour I runned a sudo "apt-get dist-upgrade" : during the upgrade, the "boot password" was asked, but forgot the password so it does not passed.. the only solution to exit the dist-upgrade was to close the terminal window [16:49] so i closed the dist-uprade window before its end [16:54] Losdal, i don't use SecureBoot, but just try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' for now [16:57] ioria : it look fixing the problem, i have a normal output for apt-get update and upgrade now [16:57] ok [16:57] but same for dist-upgrade [16:57] or I didn't finished the dist-upgrade, do you think there is a way to complete it? [16:57] Losdal, paste the output, please [16:58] ioria : https://pastebin.com/pBLnSsa7 [16:59] Losdal, it's ok,i guess [16:59] ioria: I think "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade " is supposed to finish the uncompleted previous dist-upgrade [16:59] because i closed the window without entering the boot password (=without completing the dist-upgrade) [16:59] Losdal, what's your actual kernel ? uname -r [17:00] added to that docker-compose commands does not work anymore, I think this is related to the uncompleted upgrade [17:00] ioria : $ uname -r [17:00] 5.15.0-56-generic [17:00] no good === docmax is now known as Guest9719 === docmax_ is now known as docmax [17:00] Losdal, cat /etc/issue [17:01] ioria: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS \n \l [17:02] Losdal, sudo apt full-upgrade [17:02] ioria: https://pastebin.com/6sBApYuk [17:04] btw when I try to run any docker compose command I have this https://pastebin.com/ynhuBx3u , maybe linked to an uncompleted python or docker upgrade ? (because before the "failed" dist-upgrade it was working) [17:04] Losdal, you removed too much.... dpkg -l | grep linux-generic-hwe [17:05] ioria : https://pastebin.com/gMbizMsh [17:06] Losdal, dpkg -l | grep linux-image [17:06] ioria : https://pastebin.com/RDpskJwU [17:07] Losdal, why you're not running the lates 5.15.0.67 kernel ? [17:07] *latest [17:07] ioria : i don't know, how can i check this please? [17:08] Has anybody mentioned the -f argument for apt? [17:09] Losdal, the latest (updated) kernel for your 20.04 box is 5.15.0.67 and it's correctly installed , but you're using .56 ... i don't get why [17:09] Losdal, I did not try this on dist-upgrade yet but to avoid it asking any questions, next time you do dist-upgrade or full-upgrade you could try "sudo env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get dist-upgrade" [17:09] ioria : maybe this is because of the uncompleted dist-upgrade that i have done [17:09] nope [17:10] Losdal, ii linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.67.74~20.04.2 [17:10] Losdal, can you reboot and select it from the Grub screen ? [17:10] ioria: I guess its downloaded but not activated, because the "boot password step" is in the configuration step [17:11] ho, ok [17:11] Losdal, sudo update-grub [17:11] ioria : i'm afraid to reboot currently to not get blocked because of this :/ [17:11] Losdal, ok, run sudo update-grub [17:11] I think there is many packages downloaded but not configured/activated , and it should have an impact [17:12] but i don't know how to "redo" the "missing" dist-upgrade [17:12] Losdal, i don't think so, see your paste : https://pastebin.com/6sBApYuk [17:13] Losdal, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [17:13] ioria : https://pastebin.com/ and the /etc/issue is always the same .56 [17:13] ioria: it may be marked as completed but it's was exited at the config step ? [17:14] Losdal, it's empty [17:14] another bot [17:16] ioria : sorry, https://pastebin.com/C8qiXgT4 [17:17] Losdal, it's ok [17:21] Losdal, two log files that might be interesting for you are in /var/log/apt/history.log and /var/log/dpkg.log and similar files next to them which are older , the history.log contains your "CommandLine" that you ran, and the dpkg.log files write what packages were installed or removed in probably too much detail [17:22] so probably the broken installation is in there somewhere [17:24]
