i7ch: is that all? Or you can't paste the rest.
dimisdas 2017-03-03 06:45:47
i7ch: sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service | nc termbin.com 9999
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:46:04
ok, lemme nc it
ioria 2017-03-03 06:46:10
i7ch, virtualbox installed ?
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:46:22
ioria, vmware
ioria 2017-03-03 06:46:39
i7ch, maybe it's the culprit
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:46:46
hmm
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:46:52
can you explain .. ?
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:47:57
dimisdas, http://termbin.com/u6h3
Irreparable 2017-03-03 06:49:53
welp, I'm off to trying something new, I hopefully won't be back (soon) so I wish everyone a nice weekend, hah
ioria 2017-03-03 06:52:20
i7ch, did you stopped an upgrade ?
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:52:43
ioria, noup
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:53:21
tried the "de facto" fix for this issue. updating, upgrading, -f install, dpkg-configure -a, etc
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:53:26
none worked :(
ioria 2017-03-03 06:53:27
i7ch, can you boot in Recovery ?
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:53:45
ioria, yes, i can
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:53:58
i'm in recovery mode with root account right now
ioria 2017-03-03 06:54:21
i7ch, i was suggesting what you 've already done ...
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:54:46
yeah. been reading all the google result from like .. 3 pages :D
linton 2017-03-03 06:54:59
what kernel version? (name -r)
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:55:20
4.4.0-64-generic
linton 2017-03-03 06:55:34
hmm, ok
ioria 2017-03-03 06:56:08
i7ch, some extra parameters in the kernel boot line ? dmesg | grep Kernel
dimisdas 2017-03-03 06:56:35
sorry DC/ed
dimisdas 2017-03-03 06:56:36
i7ch: I can't tell which module is failing. Best guess would be to restart "systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service" and then nc the status again
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:58:04
dimisdas, restarting systemd-modules-load.service is failing
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:58:47
" ..has failed because the control process exited with error code .. "
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:58:53
nothing of interest there
i7ch 2017-03-03 06:59:06
ioria, check http://termbin.com/1mbg
ohcanada 2017-03-03 07:01:09
hello. is there a problem with the latest (and now withdrawn) xenial 4.4.0-65 kernel?
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:01:38
also, here`s some output from journalctl -xe: http://termbin.com/45oj
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:02:19
all i can see wrong is "mar 03 19:57:16 cube systemd-modules-load[1250]: Failed to insert 'f71882fg': Device or resource busy"
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:02:35
but even if i blacklist that module, i get the same issue
wincs 2017-03-03 07:04:08
Hi. I noticed some weird behavior and I'd like to know if it's normal. When I browse a network share (samba or sshfs, doesn't matter) using ubuntus (16-04) file manager, after some time of inactivity, the folder changes to its parents
wincs 2017-03-03 07:04:27
so if i'm initally at /home/wincs/networkfolder/pictures/
wincs 2017-03-03 07:04:38
after 5 minutes it will go back to /home/wincs/networkfolder/
wincs 2017-03-03 07:04:54
and after some time, to /home/wincs..
wincs 2017-03-03 07:04:59
etc, until the root of the shared folder
ohcanada 2017-03-03 07:05:25
now see, i reverted back from 4.8 16.04.2 kernel because of unresolved errors in the tun/tap and /proc filesystem. now 4.4 has gone west, it seems. does anyone have any idea what is happening with the kernel team, or do they just release untested nonsense, as a matter of course?
dimisdas 2017-03-03 07:06:02
i7ch: The disk contains an unclean file system (and later) Failed to mount '/dev/sdd1': Operation not permitted
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:06:35
that`s a ssd with WIN10 on it, if i't not mistaking
dimisdas 2017-03-03 07:08:57
i7ch: sorry for my short-memory, but isn't this running in a vmware?
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:09:51
dimisdas, noup. i have vmware installed on it. but linux is a host not guest
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:09:58
sorry for the confusion
Auprivave 2017-03-03 07:11:59
anyone here running wordpress with Nginx?
ohcanada 2017-03-03 07:12:40
Auprivave: as a matter of fact, yes sir
dimisdas 2017-03-03 07:12:40
i7ch: take a look at this http://superuser.com/a/1074637
i7ch 2017-03-03 07:13:31
10x
ohcanada 2017-03-03 07:14:27
Auprivave: nginx, php7, mariadb with http/2 ssl and all the trimmings
Auprivave 2017-03-03 07:14:47
ohcanada, great :) I get a 502 bad gateway. can i paste my block file in a msg to you?
RoseAleria 2017-03-03 07:15:42
Does anyone know if the 3G internet dongle called "D-Link DWM-157" works on Ubuntu?
ohcanada 2017-03-03 07:15:45
Auprivave: pm me a link to a paste, rather than flooding me :)
frib 2017-03-03 07:22:11
if I boot an ubuntu .iso directly from grub, is it running in EFI mode?
linton 2017-03-03 07:22:59
Auprivave: if its a config type issue, you could check out nanobox.io, they help relieve config/devops concerns
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:23:50
hi all i just tried to upgrade from 14 to 16 via do-release-upgrade and when i try to boot it can't. When i go into the live cd and chroot, i now get http://dpaste.com/3TZ9209
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:24:08
any ideas how to properly fix that?
k1l 2017-03-03 07:26:17
sadupgrades: let me guess: /boot partition is full?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:26:38
yeah it was
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:26:41
i cleaned it out now
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:26:53
can't get it to regenerate all the proper files
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:27:27
k1l: is ther ea specific command i should run to reinstall all the proper kernel images etc. there?
k1l 2017-03-03 07:27:52
sadupgrades: sudo apt install -f
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:28:30
k1l: http://dpaste.com/1WBCYBN
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:28:34
same error?
k1l 2017-03-03 07:29:14
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:29:44
E: Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic:amd64
nacc 2017-03-03 07:31:57
sadupgrades: do you have a separate /boot? is it mounted?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:32:13
nacc yes it is separate and i mounted it at /boot
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:32:34
http://dpaste.com/1DNGS9X
nacc 2017-03-03 07:34:45
i think that implies dpkg is in an incosistent state (Internal Error). It's useful to pastebin the full output
nacc 2017-03-03 07:34:51
sadupgrades: --^
nacc 2017-03-03 07:35:12
sadupgrades: you might try a `sudo dpkg --configure -a`
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:35:23
nacc: where would i find the full output http://dpaste.com/1WBCYBN has the complete one of the apt-get install -f
nacc 2017-03-03 07:35:54
sadupgrades: e.g, you ran `sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic`. Was the only output the line with 'E: ...' ?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:36:09
nacc: http://dpaste.com/3PQRRQD is the full output of that
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:36:15
the dpkg --configure -a
nacc 2017-03-03 07:36:38
k1l: might need a force removal and reinstall?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:37:08
nacc: http://dpaste.com/2ZEX03H is the full --reinstall.... command
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:37:22
nacc: sure happy to try that - what would be the best route ?
nacc 2017-03-03 07:37:44
sadupgrades: right, need to remove it first, i think -- for some reason dpkg things it is done configuring (extracting) the package even though it is not
nacc 2017-03-03 07:38:06
sadupgrades: `sudo dpkg -P linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic`
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:38:28
http://dpaste.com/0CQ6CJZ
nacc 2017-03-03 07:38:55
sadupgrades: `sudo dpkg -P linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic linux-image-generic linux-image-extra-4.4.0-64-generic`
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:39:53
nacc: http://dpaste.com/0W3YD30
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:40:00
i got the pattern of add the dependency
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:40:11
but should i add the linux too? just want to make sure that isn't one i really shouldn't pruge
nacc 2017-03-03 07:40:55
sadupgrades: add --dry-run (beofre -P) and add linux
nacc 2017-03-03 07:41:14
sadupgrades: dry-run will keep it from doing anything
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:41:25
http://dpaste.com/1WEBGX6
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:41:35
looks ok
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:41:37
?
nacc 2017-03-03 07:42:01
sadupgrades: yeah, i think that's fine -- we're going to immediately reinstall those packages anyways
nacc 2017-03-03 07:42:12
sadupgrades: if that completes, run `apt install linux`
nacc 2017-03-03 07:42:15
with sudo
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:42:26
completed running that now
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:42:43
had no package named linux
nacc 2017-03-03 07:42:55
sadupgrades: ok, `sudo apt install linux-generic`
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:43:11
installing awesome!
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:43:28
do i need to do something to update grub too after all this?
nacc 2017-03-03 07:43:46
sadupgrades: I think it should do it automatically, but you can always run `sudo update-grub` manually
Zythyr 2017-03-03 07:43:50
Need help. I am trying to install fbida. However, when I use "make", I get error: Make.config:1 *** Empty variable name. Stop https://www.kraxel.org/releases/fbida/
nacc 2017-03-03 07:44:10
Zythyr: probably should contact fbida for help with their software
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:45:05
awesome going to give a reboot attempt here hopefully it will work
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:45:08

Hey. so why when I leave a network folder open, after some time of inactivity, it goes back to its parent folder?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:51:35
nacc: hm still goes directly to grub rescue
nacc 2017-03-03 07:52:08
sadupgrades: i wonder if you need to run `grub-install` or something to repair it -- EriC^^, maybe you know?
nacc 2017-03-03 07:52:19
sadupgrades: were any kernels listed on the grub menu?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:52:28
it just went directly into rescue mode
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:52:55
sadupgrades: what's up?
sadupgrades 2017-03-03 07:53:15
one sec let me get irc opened on diff computer so i can reboot without losing you
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:53:37
EriC^^, when i boot grub just goes directly into rescue mode
nacc 2017-03-03 07:53:51
EriC^^: it was a failed dist-upgrade (/boot full, i think)
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:53:59
sadupdates: you mean grub rescue> ?
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:54:07
EriC^^, yep
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:54:42
sadupdates: do you have a live usb you could boot?
scottjl 2017-03-03 07:56:01
wincs: probably because the network folder times out
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:56:06
yes one second so i ran grub-install /dev/sda and /dev/sdb - and rebooted
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:56:14
now it just sits as a screen that says GRUB
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:56:16
and nothing else
wincs 2017-03-03 07:56:16
scottjl: is there any parameter to keep it alive?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:56:30
sadupdates: ok boot the live usb and come here
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:56:34
EriC^^, booting to live cd
scottjl 2017-03-03 07:56:40
wincs: maybe. but i don't know your network or your server.
wincs 2017-03-03 07:57:16
my server is actually a raspberry pi, i'm connecting to it using sshfs
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:57:27
EriC^^, want me to get chrooted?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:57:35
sadupdates: not yet
sadupdates 2017-03-03 07:57:41
ok what should i do?
scottjl 2017-03-03 07:57:43
wincs: sorry, i don't use sshfs

Hi, I have problem with gedit (and LibreOffice) invoking search after system suspend on Ubuntu 16.04.1 and 16.04.2. After resuming system from suspend when I open gedit and open search (no matter if I use shortcut or open search option by mouse clicking on it) I can only type one letter or paste clipboard, after that search dialog closes immediately. When I restart lightdm service or reboot PC everything works normal. Also I have no problems with search
DarekDeo 2017-03-03 07:57:49
feature in other software.
wincs 2017-03-03 07:57:57
i'll try to look it up
scottjl 2017-03-03 07:58:15
look for something regarding timeouts
forehelp 2017-03-03 07:58:31
What do you guys suggest, i keep running into problems with small /boot partitions... shoudl i just get rid of them completely and have all in / or make /boot to something like 500mb ?
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 07:58:56
EriC^^: http://termbin.com/3iza
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 07:59:16
forehelp: yeah /boot is unnecessary
dx486 2017-03-03 07:59:36
DarekDeo, FYI, it doesn't happen in my 16.10 system
pavlos 2017-03-03 08:00:37
forehelp, apt autoremove should clean /boot and keep 2 most recent kernels
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:00:37
sadupdates1: don't know much about raid, assemble it and mount everything under /mnt and mount --bind and chroot
scottjl 2017-03-03 08:00:40
forehelp: these days you can skip separate boot. i have 250 production servers and don't use separate boot, root volume is 32G
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:01:10
sadupdates1: is sda the disk that's set to be booted in the bios?
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:01:27
yes i believe so
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:01:31
all set chrooted in
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:01:37
with /boot mounted to /dev/sda1
forehelp 2017-03-03 08:02:16
Thanks pavlos, sottjl and EriC^^ just need to find out now how to make preseed not ask if i want to make sure i dont need the /boot -.-
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:02:31
can't really think of anything to do here sadupdates1 except grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:02:36
sadupdates1: then update-grub
DarekDeo 2017-03-03 08:02:48
dx486, might be 16.10, what version of gedit do you have?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:02:59
sadupdates1: take a look in /boot/grub also and see if the modules are there under the dir
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:03:32
sadupdates1: also check the config file /boot/grub/grub.cfg as nacc said
dx486 2017-03-03 08:03:35
DarekDeo, 3.22.0
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:03:36
EriC^^: can i install grub also to /dev/sdb to be sure?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:03:47
sadupdates1: sure
DarekDeo 2017-03-03 08:03:49
dx486, 3.18 here, I'll try to update gedit
dx486 2017-03-03 08:04:34
DarekDeo, okay
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:04:43
EriC^^: hmm there is no grub.cfg in /boot/grub
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:04:47

EriC^^: 83% with 37M available
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:06:00
nacc: ah should i upgrade?
nacc 2017-03-03 08:06:00
sadupdates1: i feel like maybe you're not fully upgraded yet
nacc 2017-03-03 08:06:00
sadupdates1: have you checked via `apt update; apt full-upgrade` ?
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:06:00
yep says none not upgraded
nacc 2017-03-03 08:06:00
sadupdates1: 16.04 is grub2 based, it should have updated during the release upgrade; but since it was interrupted maybe it's in an inconsistent state
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:06:12
ok should i just purge grub and install grub2
nacc 2017-03-03 08:06:19
sadupdates1: `apt-cache policy grub2`
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:06:45
http://dpaste.com/19DRFYM
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:06:46
sadupdates1: give "apt-get -f install && dpkg --configure -a" a run too
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:06:56
for both for good fit
nacc 2017-03-03 08:07:13

i think it's fine, but something else is off
nacc 2017-03-03 08:08:11
linux-image-generic should have updated grub, ithought
nacc 2017-03-03 08:08:16
ah maybe not
nacc 2017-03-03 08:08:28
maybe because grub never got uninstalled and it also satisfies the dep
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:09:19
ok so will give a reboot now?
EriC^^ 2017-03-03 08:09:48
sadupdates1: ok, unless nacc has anything else to do
sadupdates1 2017-03-03 08:10:05

I have an odd one. Some times after mashing shortcuts my keyboard layout will seemingly change. I click the little "En" in the system tray and it says it's still on english, but when I click it they keyboard goes back to normal. I did delete the colemak layout from the list of options recently

gebruiker: edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to Prompt=normal, then run `do-release-upgrade -d` iirc

I am having problems with USB3 mass media devices. E.g. I have a HDD enclosure, which is correctly recognized, but it still keeps resetting for some reason (uas_eh_bus_reset_handler). Are you familiar with this kind of problem?

markot: Do you have a pastebin of the dmesg output?
