#Kubuntu Spring Null error with antialiasing on a 1060
1 messages · Page 2 of 1
i can post my dotfiles but they need serious updating
nah not really
i mean i don't have a programming job rn so
in school i did c++ and python
oh wow so you're just a nerd like us :D
i do rust for fun
yesh
what does multiplexor do?
ive tried to pick up python a few times, but ... i don't have anything i want to DO with coding, so i never go anywhere or stick with it.
python frustrates me
how so?
jeez this superupdate is ... ya
it's good but it gets used for the wrong things all the time
efficiency?
i mean it's just not good for writing safe code
or maintainable in some ways
like i'm talking major programs
security or idempotency?
like "safe" being stable
idk i just find it too easy to do bad things
Yea you can do a whole bunch of garbage shit
python is just one big footgun
yes
but it gets shit done
i was in a research lab for a little while
hahah true
and it's great for that
I like golang for good shit
so good for writing quick programs that don't need to have a major lifetime
I also like raw C a lot
i haven't touched go but it seems cool
go is really good it's efficient as hell and you can't write shit code
i had a roommate who was doing some real C shit for a while
I love C <3
electrical engineering degree
i thought i liked low level before i saw that
hahaha
embedded is cool though
it's so fuking tedious
but yea get to interact with the cute little memory locations
:3
my "low level" was not bitwise operations lol
Yea I used to de-construct binary frames and translate them into other protocols
bit by bit
it's fun :D
trust me
LOL
I'm more impressed with Rust and whatever linux coding monster environment you have
I probably need to not be pleb ubuntu vs code
@Zercomme you hangin in there?
he died
happens to the best of us
i think this is going to take a looong while
nothing wrong with it
Yea but I want to look cool and be sexy
i need to update my dotfiles bad
i can send if you want afterwards
starting off point
yes please
I'm spinning up a new proxmox environment so now is a good time to experiment with a new environment
when people are talking about containers, are those like vms?
super similar
not sure i get the purpose or what containers are
also amazing
Containers are extremely light weight OS that you can build with code that run as close to bare metal as possible
they basically just have an OS to run the service like a program etc
so they're WAY more performant than VMs
most of the world runs on containers nowadays
there are OSes built around doing nothing but running containers
so service as a process running on the core, and it spins everything from that thread
what OS's?
Then you have kubernetes which manages and orchestrates containers
debian + alpine usually for linux based
thats why i hear kuber all the damned time
lemme find it again
It's up to the creator of the container image though
you can run an ubuntu container if you wanted
but that's dumb and kinda defeats the purpose
I went fully containerized for all of my apps a while back
you can run plex in a container :D
why does ubuntu containers defeat its purpose?
hmmm unraid is what i was thinking of but maybe that's not what it does
because you're trying to lesson the OS overhead of running the service
so in the example of Plex if you ran on ubuntu there would be like 100 things running that you don't need to host plex
oftentimes containers won't even have desktop environments
100% headless
Most of the time they're hosting some web server though for configuration
like plex
the exception would be testing i think
they're super nice for testing i hear
Containers are legit awesome
no lie
When you go from VMs to containers things click hard
so just the means of interaction remotely. makes sense
The other thing about containers is that they are built with code.
Usually a yaml file
So you can really standardize environments and do automation and shit
it sounds really cool... but not like something id need on this system
probably not
I don't run plex in a container
I have it in a VM
just because of the file system shit
So the only limitation of containers is that the file system they host the files in can get weird
if it's a lot of files
and they are changing
you can do a passthrough volume to the container
but it's harder to configure
so for plex with all your media it would be hard to configure passthrough to the container running plex
The only reason to start hosting on containers is so that you can use open source to learn about how modern software hosting / infrastructure works
no real other reason
But you can train at home on stuff that pays the big bucks for a career and get gud
sounds like id practically need to build anoooother media pc just for this XD
plex on this one is ... odd enough
What I do is host a baremetal hypervisor on the server like proxmox
at least for the "new" system itd be more pure
and then host a VM like "plex" vm
then you can allocate however much resources you want to the VM
and run all your containers on that with something like docker or if you are insane you can go kubernetes
proxmox?
It's the best baremetal hypervisor in the world
heard the name but i keep forgetting what it is
ok.. kubernetes, is for containerizing
proxmox is vm
Proxmox is for Virtual machine orchestration
ie "hypervisor"
it's an OS that creates and runs VMs as baremetal to the hardware as posible
like 1-3% performance loss to bare metal I think
right, nto a vm itself, but organizes and manipulates/creates them
FOR vms. not a vm (like i said)
yep!
and you stand up a VM that runs your containers
or kubernetes etc
or plex or whatever
so if i were to plex on anotehr computer.. im thinking id probably proxmox instead of a containerized thing.
You can get a 128gb ram 20 core server on amazon for like $400
like kubernetes
:)
its an OS of its own?
you can do backups and all sorts of stuff to protect the data
yea proxmox is a baremetal OS
level 1 hypervisor which means it is the OS
it's based on debian
thats kind of awesome
I love it
i think i do too
shitty old pcs are amazing 🙂
I agree :)
Proxmox is nice because you can divide the computer resources out to various VMs specifically
depending on the compute requirements
thats what im going to repurpose some for... basically making them for tvs in the house that are dumb on purpose
turning them into little media centers and smart tv's that i more fully control
so Plex probably wouldn't need 32 gb ram but you give it 16 or something and some for free
Oh hell yea. You could host little performance monitoring services on them or install lightweight plex web clients etc
probably not even that... the roomies aren't heavy media consumers
i wonder how id separate out the hardware acceleration from the graphics card for encoding
Once you get a house you can go ham in the smart home space and monitor and control everything hehehe
rabbit hole >.<
PCI passthrough is a little bit hard when you're virtualizing
yeah..
but there's guides online if you want to leverage the GPU
id want plex to be able to use it though
Yea PCI passthrough in proxmox isn't hard
cool
i really like that vencord can be used on linux too
there's more here than there used to be
even 4 yrs ago
linux is the best
it's definitely gotten a lot more accessible
I run my games on windows dual boot just for convenience
gaming has grown, services, UI, customization for a gui even feels more complete
the last few years
but I main linux
yeah that's the one drawback
Once you learn linux it def just feels better
i ran into a WEIRD freaking issue when i dualbooted this, i couldn't wipe the windows part...
its still there and im dual booted, i just... bypass it XD
hmmmm
its super strange
damn
OS?
it's the ranking system in BAR
this lobby is best players in the game
btw the 4 rag side is losing...
xD
rag?
lol
xD
You're in for a treat man. This is probably the best made game in a long time.
It's an amazing RTS truly is
i need a txt file of all thecommands ive run to just TRY to get this thing to work
iv'e played supreme commander before... quite enjoyed it
BAR is like supreme commander x 3 better
yeah i'm not good either
i was really high for a second cause i kept getting carried
what's your ign?
ultraviolet
oh poggers I'm gonna spectate u and judge u
oh no
xD
oh ur a small teams player
ima spectate too
ohwait

super mega update is almost done though
idk where i was at command wise either lol
ya, im happy to be updating the entire damned thing
i was suuuper pleased moving from 18 to 22 XD
that's probably a good sign

takes a special band to make me into headbangers, but when they pull it off im fucking IN
idk what the fuck its doing, but its updating my games too
It rebuilding and becomes stronger
It's becoming sentient
personally.. teh ss3 transformation in front of buu was extremely epic
8mins left it says
yea bruh my servers have dbz stickers all over dem
I like to imagine the CPU is like a saiyan

when it goes 90% load
vegeta no
xD
vegeta YESSSSSS

fear factory - supernova ❤️

soooo close
get 2340 lol
2378 linux firmware
wow 500megs
Oh damn this song is I like
you got a big fat file in you linux
pokes the file
yeah... fearfactory has some SERIOUS clout imo
i also like their song dielectric strengh
and enter shikari's mothership (and johnny sniper)
when a metal band does it right, they can really hit hard
cradle of filth... dance macabre, best rendition of that i've EVER heard
yeah... dielectric strength is a real electrical phenomena where you have a certain amount of power required to overcome the resistance of the medium (often an insulator is where this is discussed).
so there's a reason its techy there
Are u studyin engineer
nope... IT/smidge of cybie
ex army artillery, pizza delivery lol
I want pizza...
they had some secret things i got to learn too
SOOOO good
they had a pesto pizza that is wow
oh fuk
ohhhhh, coool as shit, nomachine has a linux deb too!
fuck ya
always love to see a tool like that cross over
sweet
oh interesting I'm always looking at different RDP cleints
newest Ubuntu has microsoft RDP built in
super performant
Cheese to the 7th Power®
Romano, ricotta, mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, parmesan and feta cheeses.
Taco
Salsa, tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, black olives, onions, extra cheese, lettuce, sour cream, sliced tomatoes with your choice of seasoned taco meat, sirloin steak, spiced chicken or pulled pork.
Greek Supreme
Spiced chicken, artichoke hearts, green olives, feta cheese, tomatoes, Parmesan and Romano cheese on a basil pesto sauce.
Oriental Chicken Supreme
Teriyaki chicken, cashews (i cut this out), pineapple and cream cheese on a delicious white garlic sauce.
omg why u do this
these were some of my favorites, or just the super veggie pizza
look at the greek supreme
like... its super awesome
oriental is super greasy, but every now and then that pizza really slaps hard
and their taco pizza is pretty amazing when fresh
with the cream cheese that sounds like it fills u up
yeaaaahhh, cream cheese really makes it
like ur just mega obese'ing
full send the oriental supreme
damnit it's too late to eat a bunch of food
but I didn't eat enough
obeseing?
i usually share these with at leaaast one other person
but damned if it isn't amazing to have once every couple months or something
The taco one sounds really good right now
idk why
oh shit it has lettuce on it
fuk yea
yea that sounds fresh and nice
a good clean slice of tomato on top with sour cream and the lettuce right under it...
yeah it hits a spot
pizza pipeline has some REALLY solid builds in there if you know where to look
Yea all of those sound flame
but they're mostly just pacific northwest, so im telling people where i am with it...
but... its too good not to share pizza wonders
you in the cali?
I in the colorado
dude... this place is in shambles, but... the views maaaaan
i could never move away
gog damn man
thats a view from a condo up here
only thing that condo does not have... is regular access to stores, thats like... 40mins away
but, if thats not a problem its incredible
hahaha I live in the middle of fuking mountain nowhere
no in condo washer/dryer too tho
so I know what you mean
yeah... im in another location rn
my gmas 52acre property she moved out of
the downloads are done now the upgrades are restarting services! 🙂
cross tha fingers
yeah... i think this place is seriously worth a fuckton
It probably is xD
That sounds about right to me
has its own well too
That's like the ideal property
right outside the 2nd largest city in the state, decent internet for 90 a month with no cap.
yeah.... id probably sell it for another ... less convenient location (ish) because its lakeside.
you don't like lakeside?
and use the money to outfit that property with a very nice house and lake access
oh no, this 52 isn't lakeside
ah gotcha
yea 52 acres is kinda insane
like 4 acres lakeside
is legit
maybe 2 acre
something like that
sounds like a legit setup you're chillin
it is.. and it gets kind of hot here, and the town access is only ok. (slightly better than the lakeside one).
but the house is in shambles, they left it abandoned for a year.
the burst pipes are the worst
I mean if you like chillin in nature
that sort of setup sounds ideal to me
but I'm an introvert xD
yeah, the current gf and her ... well still husband, have about 10 acres on a lake
the houses there are ramshackle too... but they've offered me some of that property, not free, but if.... iiiiif i inheret this or something... i could do a lot on that lakeside
I mean eventually the value will trickle down to you right
im an introvert too... so id have great lakeviews when i want, and even invite for naked hottub fun
and then have a fucking theater or something in the back with power pc's etc.
well i hope so, dad has a stepbrother
and that side has a lot of mouths.
lel
this side, im pretty well the only grandson she knows or really cares for
Well that's goog
i think that the stepbrother side though is less interested in the goings on here at least. and they've already got property.
so mayyybe
I mean regardless you get to enjoy it now
sorrrrt of... lol. with the pipes and water problems, showering is creative
winter will pose a serious issue
that sounds fun to me
we're relying on friends and help to try to get it patched up
ruffin it
VERY ruff
ammonia ig
mhmm :)
well this one tree i made very happy this summer
not always but i kinda prefer it tbh
watered another some extra because i used the hose to spray a wasp nest in it
much slower and stalematey than I imagined it would be
22% upgrading 🙂
also i told you i suck
its ok to suck, you knwo what i do... i suck so bad i play wif frens against ai
deathstars-syndrome 

you play 8v8?
i still confuse
it's a map called all that glitters it's the most popular map in the game
ohhhh
you got it
and im here jamming to dark synth metal or some such
except nothing glitters on the map. and everything dies a painful horrible death
that syndrome song lol
o no
it was trying to snap something and it derrrrped
thunderbird
idgaf about thunderbird rn
did it stop updating?
i think its keeping all that downloading i ddi
it should
no, its repairing the broken install that i rant the command for
the techno is making me feel more techy 😛
20%
as it should

oh that's lame the twin guard doesn't shoot off the cliff
:(
I thought that was op play
wut tha fak
well.. time to find that command and try running it again
when people have claimed that linux just works... this is why i don't believe them
It doesn't "just" work at all
yeah... talking out their ASSSS
That's the true linux experience
and steam doesn't look uhhhh, healthy anymore on my startbar over there
yea it crashed mid update...
uhhhh plasma crashed
yea that actually sounds normal
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
sudo reboot
I'm your GPT
(appstreamcli:29727): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 22:51:32.719: file ../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1632 (g_file_info_get_is_hidden): should not be reached
i think our change of the repo to noble mightve changed some of them. its still working though
zeric@Zubu:~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
uhhhhh
uh oh
try to use the wizard?
oh no desktop?
no firefox either remember?
right
i now only have terminal, and discord (somehow lol)
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
sudo reboot
so when you run those
it immediately throws error?
full upgrade gave an error, and i ran the recommended command in there, which is working now
even if you don't have desktop environment it should boot to shell if you reboot
ok keep running the recommended commands
idk.... i don't want to re boot right now
but usually that leads down a hole
I understand I wouldn't want to reboot either
We'll keep tackling the errors as they appear in the terminal then
when the terminal goes free try:
sudo update-manager -c
and se if it pulls up the tool
sudo update-manager -c -d
try the sudo update-manager -c -d
I just finished auto remove
Update manager not found
yea no internet so
Shit
I've accidently deleted the root filessystem several times in linux when I was first starting so this is actually pretty normal
nvidia really doesn't like 22.04 kubuntu :(
No GUI
I'm in as my user and lol.... Bluetooth is on
sudo apt-get install update-manager
Unable to fetch somearchives
that should be ok
just need to see if we can pull up the manager
sudo systemctl restart sddm
this should restart the desktop environment and prompt you to log back in
idk if that will work though because the desktop environment might be fuked up
It... Ran ... No effect
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
then after that
sudo apt-get install --reinstall plasma-desktop
then
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kde-full
finally
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
then reboot
Unable, broken packages
which one's are broken
you can repair if you type the packages that are broken
I can give you the commands to repair
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
987 not upgraded
Cmoooon babyyy
We'll be able to recover it
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
you didn't delete filesystem
It seems to be starting services too
yea that 987 not upgraded was huge
Firefox snap store rn
If you don't lose boot and wifi it's almost always recoverable though
And its doing stuff now
nice nice
Setting up snapd
oh that's really good
Yeah its moving through it all
that's sounding good
GUI, command looking came up
Back to CLI I go
Yeah its working hard still
kk good
Done
kk worth rebooting now
to see if desktop env service stands up
if not then we run
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
if you get desktop environment back we may even be able to try nvidia driver
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
no worries
that was expected
I think we're still missing a lot in the upgrade to 24.04
Broken packages
I just want to get desktop back and then run:
sudo update-manager -c
for GUI based upgrade
send screenshot for broken packages
we can fix those
Command not found
oh yea you have to install first but we need desktop back for you to see it anyways
Pipewire is broken
oh I see
sudo apt-get purge libpipewire-0.3-0t64
whatever that name is
then run again
it would be sudo apt install update-manager
as well
Just purged, which of those is next?
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
I'm trying to see maybe we spelled the purge wrong
sudo apt-get remove --purge libpipewire-0.3-0 libspa-0.2-modules
sudo apt-get install libpipewire-0.3-0 libspa-0.2-modules
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
oh I'm sorry it shoudl have been
sudo apt-get remove --purge libspa-0.2-modules
hmmm?
I already ran the wrong one
oh it's all good
we're just handling packages
if you have the file system nothing cannot be recovered
I think I typed it right?
Y
should have no output
Lots of output
kk try to run:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop again
sudo apt-get install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk xdg-desktop-portal-kde libpipewire-0.3-0t64 wireplumber kwin-wayland plasma-discover-backend-snap haruna
oh do this first
sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
if doesn't work try this
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
aptitude helps you resolve broken packages
Fuck my phone can't see spaces.. In that
sudo apt-get remove --purge kubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
if doesn't work:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
What to do
yes
Here it goes again
what's it doin?
do
sudo apt install kinfocenter
I'm trying to find out why those dependant packages are "not installable"
oh nice that's fine to do
yea try sudo apt install kinfocenter
Failed
I still don't know why those dependant packages are "not installable"
kk new approach
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
change back to jammy instead of noble
then run
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
oh wait
sry before you do that
do
sudo apt install libpipewire-0.3-common
if that doesn't allow:
sudo apt install kinfocenter
then we go back to jammy in list
then we full send jammy
It failed
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
we need to get this one to work
different error or same?
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted universe multiverse
in list file?
What were you hosting on it?
did it have the files on the local machine?
I personally wouldn't say it's borked with just package dependencies failing
I'd rather not wipe the c drive even though its just the os... I put a lot into this
Well... It looks super borked to me
🥲
I am now the sads
you just have to be able to recover the desktop environment
That last pic is the sources list now
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-cache search kubuntu-desktop
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
I think its offline now
how? we didn't change anything related to the wifi?
Idk how
It just keeps going farther south
Idk how to ping with ifconfig or if it even can
do a reboot
Fuuuuuck
yea I agree
Even CLI isnt working
on reboot?
losing functions?
after reboot though?
Checking...
This is super awful
I understand I have been there. This was a bad one though for sure. Crashing during upgrade is shit
Network unreachable
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Idk how to find my IP on linux yet or even ping my router to see if the card is working
ifconfig
is how to get IP information
I can't fathom how we lost internet when we weren't modifying any packages related to it
ping works in unix as well
so ping ip address
sudo apt install net-tools
And idk the cmd for it
you can try to ping 8.8.8.8 which is google dns
ping 8.8.8.8
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
Network unreachable
dmesg | grep -i network
god damnit
Failed, operation not permitted
Ima just restart the router downstairs and reboot. Sometimes it shits itself
I would try that
I can't figure out how we lost internet otherwise
we had it and then nothing else happened
No
You set up a stream?
Right I understand
No? What
Bluetooth
did you run sudo dhclient -r to renew lease?
iwconfig wip2s0
nmcli device status
trying to see if the wifi card is getting a signal
Yup, my 5g is there
Wifi is on
no idea how it got dropped from the network but that means your network card and driver are still running
Failed, secrets required not provided
screenshot?
no should be all one command
Shit
Yeah, but now I'm sad
I got ya. I'm sad too but I'm not ready to give up
It still seems recoverable to me
But here's the wifi still trying to connect so its not all bad
Core bits still going
Yes the wifi card and driver are still good
nmcli device wifi connect TP-Link_2C50_5G password '861053554'
Ah the password needs to be in single quotes
perhaps
Nope
did it not prompt for a password entry?
Shit
Nooooo let's not do that
nmcli device wifi connect TP-Link_2C50_5G password '861053554'
oh it's just going to remove any existing information for connection
it's already not connected
it's not going to act on the network card
or driver
Ping is up
Fuuuuuuck
hahaha
So much better
pretty insane tbh
Lol
This is fun
Wtf is this shit
I know this sucks for you
Kind of yeah
but this is challenge
Agreed
lright
Ok... Where the fuuuu were we
alright so we gotta get this damned deskotp environment back
I feel were close
I think we were too
I don't know whether we should try to continue using noble
in the lists for the repo or go jammy
I think we go back jammy
tbh
mmmm not sure where the internet went
We were adding sources
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
we'll start simple
and be more methodical
it's going to say something about broken packages
Can't find oackage
