pavlos: disk creator ? Is it good?
xiusfist 2017-03-07 09:45:46
Mongoose12: which come to think of it is most likely a fcc violation
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:45:56
!nomodeset | Mongoose12
ubottu 2017-03-07 09:45:57
Mongoose12: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:46:05
xiusfist: I think you're trying to highlight the wrong person.
pavlos 2017-03-07 09:46:05
bigode, just another program to write iso ...
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:46:14
k1l_: Thanks. Someone else mentioned the same thing earlier.
bigode 2017-03-07 09:46:30
pavlos: alright, so the problem couldn't be unetbootin
morsnowski 2017-03-07 09:46:48
the recent distros have the novoeu driver so the GTX should work out of the box
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:46:54
Mongoose12: that is the issue with nvidia doing its private thing with closed source drivers. so it takes some time until the kernel can work out of the box in a good state with that.
pavlos 2017-03-07 09:47:05
bigode, some ppl had issues with unet so they tried disk creator
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:47:28
bigode: or just use dd and get it done right
bigode 2017-03-07 09:47:49
ducasse: what is dd ?
morsnowski 2017-03-07 09:47:53
dd is the best tool ever
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:47:56
disk dump utility
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:47:58
morsnowski: most new nvidia cards do need nomodeset and the ubuntu-nvidia install to work properly. that goes for the new 900 and 1000 cards.
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:48:02
you will learn to love it.
morsnowski 2017-03-07 09:48:03
there isn't much you can't do with it
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:48:42
k1l_: Makes sense. Should I start reading now or after sleeping? Hehe. Like delaying a dentist appointment.
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:48:42
bigode: dd is too dumb to do it wrong :)
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:48:42
dd if=path/to/file of=path/to/directory
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:48:42
it does the rest
bigode 2017-03-07 09:48:42
ducasse: can I use dd on windows/mac?
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:48:42
Mongoose12: well, you need that howto when you want to install ubuntu. when you do that is your decision :)
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:49:04
bigode: mac, i would think so.
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:49:06
bigode: mac os x, yes
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:49:08
there is also a way to get a progress report, but i have to look it up everytime so meh
morsnowski 2017-03-07 09:49:11
k1l_, I have a GTX 950M and that works under 16.04 out of the box
pavlos 2017-03-07 09:49:13
bigode, there are windows programs that write images, dd is a linux pgm
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:49:15
k1l_: The procedure is still the same in 2017? The thread is from 2010.
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:49:32
dd is a unix program, not specific to linux.
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:50:01
Mongoose12: yes. its worth a try without that nomodeset in use. but you will see if you only get a black screen and need it or if it works :)
bigode 2017-03-07 09:50:04
ducasse: I need to mount the ubuntu.iso to use dd?
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:50:17
bigode: no, don't mount it
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:50:29
k1l_: Alright. Thanks.
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:50:43
morsnowski: i am quite sure i heard from issues still in here with 970 cards
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:50:45
MediocreN: you mean pv?
bigode 2017-03-07 09:50:45
ducasse: but then it gonna sabe a iso into the boot
bigode 2017-03-07 09:50:56
s/sabe/save
Mongoose12 2017-03-07 09:51:01
ducasse: k1l_: Time for me to leave. Thanks for helping. Adios.
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:51:02
MediocreN: dd if=/whatever | pv | dd of=/whatever
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:51:40
bigode: yes, it will write the iso to the usb, block by block
k1l_ 2017-03-07 09:52:17
Mongoose12: good luck
anddam 2017-03-07 09:52:17
I added /nfs /etc/auto.nfs to my /etc/auto.master and in auto.nfs backup -fstype=nfs4 myserver.local:/
morsnowski 2017-03-07 09:52:17
k1l_, well don't know. I had issue with the wifi driver but video worked great. the touchpad was a little dodgy at first
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:52:17
scottjl: wtf dude... that works...
bigode 2017-03-07 09:52:17
let me test it.
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:52:17
MediocreN: :-)
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:52:17
i was doing it a different way from a hack i found on some forum lol
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:52:17
bigode: be careful where you write to
anddam 2017-03-07 09:52:17
I see autofs service is running, but /nfs is empty, mount returns /etc/auto.nfs on /nfs type autofs (rw,relatime,fd=6,pgrp=21073,timeout=300,minproto=5,maxproto=5,indirect)
anddam 2017-03-07 09:52:17
how can I check what's wrong?
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:52:21
the kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd)
mcphail 2017-03-07 09:52:58
MediocreN: try passing the "status=progress" flag
anddam 2017-03-07 09:53:00
oh, nvm, the directory is wrong
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:53:16
MediocreN: yeah. that sucks.
bigode 2017-03-07 09:53:22
ducasse: but the contents it shows into the flash drive after unebootin is the iso inside files, not 1 .iso file.
MediocreN 2017-03-07 09:53:30
scottjl: it absolutely does. ty man, hadn't seen this previously
scottjl 2017-03-07 09:53:45
MediocreN: np. pv has a few nice switches too.
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:53:55
bigode: you will see the contents of the iso, yes
alexxio 2017-03-07 09:54:14
hi, i have a new 64gb microsd card that is not readable from my dbpower5000 camera, maybe because it's too big :( is there a way to change its properties in the way that it is recognized as a 32 gb card?
bigode 2017-03-07 09:54:32
ducasse: do I need any special paramether on dd command?
bigode 2017-03-07 09:54:32
ducasse: and the flash driver need to be formated in any special format?
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:54:41
bigode: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdwhatever bs=4M
mcphail 2017-03-07 09:54:48
alexxio: sounds as if you're trying to read an sdxc card on an adhc device. That isn't going to work
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:54:49
bigode: no format
ducasse 2017-03-07 09:55:03
bigode: the iso contains a filesystem

ducasse: ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso
anddam 2017-03-07 10:01:24
no, checking the proper mount line didn't help, any hint about NFS setting is welcome
scottjl 2017-03-07 10:01:30
i think he meant what OS are you running right now bigode
bigode 2017-03-07 10:01:31
ducasse: I think I got it. Lets see..
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:01:32
bigode: no, that you're running dd on
bigode 2017-03-07 10:01:40
ducasse: MacOS
scottjl 2017-03-07 10:01:51
yeah mac doesn't take 4M
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:01:59
bigode: 4m then
scottjl 2017-03-07 10:02:00
use bs=512
anddam 2017-03-07 10:02:06
BSD dd
bigode 2017-03-07 10:02:07
I did use 4m
bigode 2017-03-07 10:02:13
instead of 4M
bigode 2017-03-07 10:02:21
and its working..

So my ubuntu home server running samba randomly disconnects all the time and I can't can't reconnect to it until i restart the computer
bigode 2017-03-07 10:06:59
bray90820: maybe its a security system where it turns off after a while of no use
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:08:23
bray90820: restarted samba?
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:08:56
ducasse: When it dies I restart the entire computer
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:09:52
bray90820: try restarting just samba.
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:09:57
Not 100% sure but when samba dies I think it's still accessible through teamviewer
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:10:10
Next time it does I will try restarting just samba
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:15:32
I just checked and my backups done via SSH did complete

hi! i have a weird error where a recent ubuntu install does not boot due to some sort of nvidia driver problem.
scottjl 2017-03-07 10:16:56
bray90820: have you checked you samba logs to see if there are any errors in there?
tangled_z 2017-03-07 10:16:59
booting normally gives me two errors, "ASPM: could not configure common clock" and "A TPM error (7) has occurred attemtping to read a pcr value"
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:16:59
bray90820: which ubuntu version is this?
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:17:19
Latest LTS which I think is 16.04
bray90820 2017-03-07 10:17:25
But where would I find the samba logs?
tangled_z 2017-03-07 10:17:26
and booting through recovery with "nomodeset" in grub makes it hang at "running /scripts/local-premount"
tangled_z 2017-03-07 10:17:36
any suggestions? :S
tangled_z 2017-03-07 10:17:57
It seems that I need to reinstall the nvidia drivers but I can't even get a shell prompt going.
morsnowski 2017-03-07 10:18:37
tangled_z, can you log into a console and try startx
OerHeks 2017-03-07 10:18:46
no startx please... that is the old gdm way
morsnowski 2017-03-07 10:18:47
see what other errors it's throwing or jump into the logs to see what the last entry is
tangled_z 2017-03-07 10:18:47
morsnowski: I can't even boot at the moment.
ducasse 2017-03-07 10:19:57

backup your .cnf file in /etc/mysql then remove the /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/ folder

do a fine / -f "my.cnf" to make sure you dont have another
