Q: Helpful answer get deleted

Why my answer in this post WiFi stopped working after Ubuntu 16.04 updates get deleted ? OP has commented that my answer is helped ! I am using the internal wifi but the code suggested has fixed the problem. I do not understand why the update stopped the wifi working but all is fine now.

Videonauth

@Terrance sad to hear that, let a mod know so he can look into it maybe?

Terrance

2:10 AM

Maybe.. Or I can blow it off for now.

Nice! I did learn today that I can install CUDA 9.2 into 18.04 and have it work great! Yay me! :D askubuntu.com/a/1076701/231142

@Videonauth LOL! That link I just posted, you edited the question today! =)

Videonauth

@Terrance ^^ and gave you a +1 ;)

even bookmarked this one

Terrance

@Videonauth Ah, thank you!

=)

Videonauth

to be honest only one thing i would change, installing libglut und libmesa with a star is not the nice way to go

better would be if you really provide the proper package names

Terrance

Ah, OK. No problem. I will change that.

Videonauth

our clientel in Ask Ubuntu sadly assumes that the star is often used and does it in every ocasion messing up their system

we had a question about google-* installation lately

coughs

Terrance

2:17 AM

LOL

Videonauth

this guy messed up his system so badly that not even i attemted an answer

Terrance

No worries. It is changed. =)

Videonauth

:)

if you want to add how to make pycuda work with this i can give you the procedere

Terrance

I think that it is funny that sometimes they are not willing to go out and "read" things, but would much rather come here and have us type it all up for them so they can "read" it.

That is definitely something to look into. =)

2:21 AM

@Seth If someone gets serial downvoted, does the system automatically clean those up?

Videonauth

then change the wrong dependency in tmp/DEBIAN/control from libnvidia-compute-390 to libnvidia-compute-396

Terrance

@Videonauth Trying that now. =)

Videonauth

@Terrance after that rebuild the downloaded package with

┌─[04:21:21]─[michael@NEXUS-ONE]
└──> downloads $ dpkg-deb -b tmp python-pycuda_2017.1.1-2_amd64.deb

then install it with gdebi

thats an example for python 2.7 but as you saw i downloaded the python3 package aswell

it has only a slightly changed name

but remind, thats an hack

so you might need to apt-mark hold the package you installed there

Terrance

Hmmmm, I think I might have broke something. It is wanting to install the nvidia-cuda-toolkit again and I don't want that as it might break my present 9.2 install. Grrrrr

Videonauth

ah delete the nvidia-compute-toolkit from the dependencies

Depends: libboost-python1.65.1, libboost-thread1.65.1, libc6 (>= 2.14), libcurand9.1, libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0), libnvidia-compute-390, libstdc++6 (>= 5.2), python-numpy (>= 1:1.13.1), python-numpy-abi9, python (<< 2.8), python (>= 2.7~), python-appdirs (>= 1.4.0), python-decorator (>= 3.2.0), python-mako, python-pytools (>= 2011.5), python:any (<< 2.8), python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~), nvidia-cuda-toolkit

should be

:P

Terrance

2:29 AM

I am going to have to try this all again.

Videonauth

unless something else has this as dependency, what i higly doubt it should install without a hitch

Terrance

Oops, I need to kill the nvidia-cuda-doc as it covers the 9.1 version. Or maybe that is fine.

Videonauth

thats only documentation which should not have changed much

only thing is youre still on libcurand9.1 but theres no package yet which is higher

should not interfere however

Terrance

Dang it. Starting over again. Installed all the nvidia-cuda 9.1 apps with it again. Grrrrr

Videonauth

well for me the hack worked im on 9.1 so the switch was easy

not tried 9.2 installation yet

Terrance

2:41 AM

Ah, this time it worked.

Videonauth

:)

Terrance

What's a good test for it?

Videonauth

no clue tbh it should work in almost all cases only the recent changes in CUDA from 390 driver to 396 could possible be a cause for error if the API changed much

which I doubt, nvidia keeps their API fairly consistent

Terrance

Ah, makes sense

Well, so far so good.

Videonauth

like i said there are two python-pycuda packages

so if you wan t both you need to do this hack twice

i only changed python3-pycuda

since im always using latest python

Terrance

2:44 AM

I did the non-python3 one. I will do it now.

Videonauth

i refrained from start to learn into python 2.7 as i deem it outdated. only learnt as much so i can alter 2.7 scripts to run with 3.5+

OMG now im jealous

Q: Latest Nvidia driver- how long for PPA version?

Just purchased a new RTX 2080 Nvidia gpu and want to upgrade to the latest driver ASAP. I'm running Ubuntu Mate 18.04 On Nvidia's I see the latest driver with RTX support is Version: 410.57 Release Date: 2018.9.19 Operating System: Linux 64-bit As a general rule I NEVER manually down...

drivers nvidia

RTX 2080 ....

wnats to have

Terrance

that would be VERY NICE to have! =)

Videonauth

bet within a month or so their price will raise significantly to a point their almost impossible to get

but another good, the 1080 and 1080ti will finally sink in price

Terrance

However, that question is not answerable by us. That is completely up to NVIDIA for that driver. They only have Windows drivers listed for it right now.

Videonauth

yep

deostroll

2:50 AM

Hi. Folks here know which remote desktop client has USB support?

Videonauth

teamviewer maybe?

not sure tho

Terrance

What would USB support be needed for?

deostroll

Just to use it as a traditional USB, except in a remote virtual machine...

Microsoft's remote desktop client has something to this effect, I myself has not tried this however. > social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/…

Videonauth

wait, when i read this right you want your VM to have USB ? that's not part of the remote desktop client, but part of the VM software to adjust to

Terrance

You mean a VM? Or a remote system? I am lost for what you need USB support in a client for. If it is a software key dongle that is normally on the remote host itself and not the client.

YAY! The serial voting just got reversed! =)

Videonauth

3:06 AM

@Terrance ah took a while, well the db is about 4 GB big

or even bigger, and thats only for AU

Terrance

@Videonauth That makes lots of sense! =)

On that RTX 2080 question, I am still looking for where that Linux driver is.........

Videonauth

check the devel

its for sure not a stable RC yet

latest stable RC for linux is 396,54 atm

Terrance

I am looking there too

Videonauth

@Terrance the DB dump from 31st Mai this year for au is max 7z compressed 605MB big but is you uncompress it it is gigantic 4,1 GB

this is a dump i had downloaded for a script to test and work on

Terrance

@Videonauth That is one big DB!

Videonauth

3:11 AM

@Terrance dont ask how big the DB for SO is lol

this is gigantic

Terrance

It's all good! =)

Videonauth

archive.org/download/stackexchange ;) if youre interested

files update once per month and contain the public stuff of the db's

Terrance

I'll take a look sometime.

:)

Now I am going to see if I am gong to break my computer on a 410 driver. LOL

Videonauth

410 ?

you found the devel i guess :P

Terrance

Yep, I did

Videonauth

3:16 AM

well good luck

Terrance

But maybe I won't break it right now. LOL

Don't fix what works. :P

Videonauth

never touch a running system

make a clone in a VM and test it there

Terrance

Too bad that driver won't work in a VM though. :(

Videonauth

why?

Terrance

My system doesn't support passthrough

Videonauth

3:18 AM

hardware passthrough?

ah ok

Terrance

Older legacy system

And I prefer it over UEFI

Videonauth

i know how you feel, i had until april this year been running on legacy as well

it it hadn'T been for a donantion of a friend i still would

Terrance

Ah, cool friend! =)

Videonauth

now im on an asrock z81 extreme board with an i5-4690

Videonauth

yeah im happy with that and now saving up to buy in a few years a new machine

I'm mad for a 22 core or such

Terrance

That is so interesting... inxi on my system doesn't list my RAM. Weird..

Ooo, that would be nice! 22 cores!

Videonauth

3:25 AM

well for that sensors doesnt give me as much info as it had on my old system

only cpu temps and nothing else

Terrance

Of course, it is funny to watch the LinusTechTips video when he tries to run a game on a 256 core system. It chugs hard even on a GTX 1080.

Videonauth

before it gave me gpu temp and everything

Terrance

Sensors doesn't work on my board at all. Only like 3 temps get listed and it is nothing that I care about.

Videonauth

@Terrance well i wish i could only once pick me a board and the rest on top of it from is stache

and i would be set for life lol

Terrance

@Videonauth That would be very nice!

Videonauth

3:28 AM

but to be honest i would not like to be in his shoes, he needs a very big room to stora all the stuff he gets for free from the different manufacturers

and then the logistic behind it, some he can keep some he needs to send back etc

Terrance

Yep!

LGR had to get a larger storage shed for all the stuff he gets too.

But LGR usually gets the older stuff.

But it would be nice to take the unwanted stuff from LinusTechTips. =)

Videonauth

yep and he collects it, same with the 8-bit guy

Terrance

8-Bit and LGR are two of my favorite channels to watch.

Videonauth

funny tho that we all watch the same youtube stuff lol

Terrance

:D

Videonauth

3:30 AM

but to be honest linus wan show i hardly make it through all the way

Terrance

I agree

I watch Louis Rossmann, but only his repair videos, and none of his rants. LOL

Videonauth

same here too, even i despice apple and never would get me an apple device

Terrance

Yep!

Videonauth

but luis is cool and you can learn alot from his repairs

Terrance

Exactly! =)

Videonauth

3:33 AM

i never heard of th inxi command before tho

so learned something today :)

Terrance

I love that command. Easier to read than lspci and lshw

Videonauth

are you sure yo need sudo for inxi?

or only for the options you have chosen?

Terrance

Only when reading dmi

The lower case m reads from dmi

It was the option I chose

Videonauth

ah ok well i just see i not get my ram listed without sudo

it only says dmi microcode

Terrance

Yep

Anything that is listed when you run dmidecode would need sudo for it.

Videonauth

3:35 AM

well have to read through the whole --help text once in calm

Terrance

+1

=)

Videonauth

much to much options to choose from :D

Terrance

The list is very long.

@Terrance ~90% of the time yes. If you notice some that isn't cleaned up automatically within ~2 or so days, let us know.

Terrance

@Seth Cool! It actually fixed itself tonight. Thank you for getting back to me! =)

Seth

:)

Videonauth

@Terrance sudo inxi -v 4 aswell is cool or using even -v 7

Seth

I try to respond to every question, but a few do slip through occasionally. If that ever happens feel free to ping again.

Terrance

@Videonauth Yep, that is a very good one! =)

@Seth Thank you! I will remember that. =)

thta sright unless you want to turn to your laptop every 4 hours postponing an update restart ;)

alone for that i love linux

you press once to restart at a later time and your fine

and no forced restarts

and i hope they never go down that route

Terrance

Yep! I hope they don't either.

yeah only problem with He filled drives is they are so frail when it comes to shock

Ah, I can see that

Videonauth

if the get hit once badly on transfer theyre toast

i had 5 of them arrive DOA before one worked

Terrance

WOW! Good to know!

Videonauth

4:03 AM

well that was 8 years ago, the newer ones should be better tho

this was the very first series with He fill

Terrance

Ah

Cool!

Videonauth

the new WD black series is nice too

IBM/hitachi well i would never buy again

Terrance

Yeah, those are good drives.

I think I have some dead Hitachi drives around here

LOL

Videonauth

ehhh me too, much to much of em

since i not throw away used drives

they all lay in a drawer here at my home

Terrance

Too much like me! =)

I have 2 full boxes I need to go through and test

Videonauth

4:08 AM

:)

well mine are all written on them if they are dead or not, but most are dead

Terrance

I have no clue on all mine here.

Videonauth

ah ok i labeled them all with buy time, and cease of service time

and status

i just keep them so nobody could get them and try to get my private stuff from them

Terrance

Good that you did that! It would sure be nice if I had done something like that

Videonauth

well i did that to distinct between them, the ones which are not dead im using as temporary backup devices when im fresh installing

Terrance

You can degauss platter drives, but not SSDs. Those would pretty much need to be pulverized to get rid of data, honestly. I don't really trust the built in data destruction on those yet.

Videonauth

4:11 AM

i disassembled an external sata drive for that so i use this board as a switchable drive slot

Terrance

That's cool!

Videonauth

well i just was sick of assembling that drive again and again lol

Whew! inxi -v 7 -z will filter out personal info for copy and paste to sites. Yay! =)

oh nice :)

That's a good idea for a drive like that! :)

Terrance

I haven't used dropbox for a long time

Videonauth

i only use it for syncing handy snapshots with my main machine

Terrance

That actually looks like it was made for external use.

Videonauth

that was inside the usb external drive

Terrance

I need to learn to spell! Haha!

Videonauth

4:17 AM

this is what im using since for hotswapping sata drives

Terrance

Good to have

Videonauth

indeed :D

and cheaper as big size USB sticks

Terrance

True that!

Well my friend! I am out for the night! Have a good one!

Videonauth

sleep well

you too rest well

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy you could add even this bash

# function to extract archives
function extract {
 if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    # display usage if no parameters given
    echo "Usage: extract <path/file_name>.<zip|rar|bz2|gz|tar|tbz2|tgz|Z|7z|xz|ex|tar.bz2|tar.gz|tar.xz>"
 else
    if [ -f $1 ] ; then
        # NAME=${1%.*}
        # mkdir $NAME && cd $NAME
        case $1 in
          *.tar.bz2)   tar xvjf ../$1    ;;
          *.tar.gz)    tar xvzf ../$1    ;;
          *.tar.xz)    tar xvJf ../$1    ;;
          *.lzma)      unlzma ../$1      ;;

for some of the extractions you need of course the proper packets installed

good morning everyone joined till now, hope you all have a great day

@Videonauth Yep, I know this one as well, seen before somewhere. Definitely convenient function.

Videonauth

yes it is, and its part of my ususal -bashrc meanwhile since 3 years :D

well to be correct 2 years and 8 months

I need to make a dot file repository on my github someday

no time lately, but would be nice to keep all functions and stuff in one place

Videonauth

yeah would make sense tho, but the gitignore file would be huge for me

@ThomasWard did you at least give this guy some downtime too? (--> askubuntu.com/q/1076923 )

Sadly i didn't see this question earlier

Thomas Ward

2:04 PM

@Videonauth that's a question that you're ever going to get a response to. (We don't disclose anything about that kind of thing ever to anyone.)

Videonauth

I know ;)

Thomas Ward

picks up @Videonauth then drops them into the endless pit

Videonauth

fills up the endless pit and overflows it

Thomas Ward

drops a black hole into the pit

did you see your skype today fabby?

Thomas Ward

@Fabby But... I am the universe. You can't change the laws which I myself dictate.

Fabby

I've been very busy until now

@ThomasWard Yes, you are the universe. and I am...

Hold on, I'm a drawing of a dog drawing me

lol

resets Fabby's avatar to the IP-based fractal image

Fabby

(I knew that was going to make you LOL!)

Mmmh. interesting... IP-based fractal image!

Thomas Ward

FRACTALS!

shot

Fabby

Of course, there's an XKCD about that!

Videonauth

IMHO fractals are the most fascinating application of math

Thomas Ward

natural recursion :p

Thomas Ward

find the solution to x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 666^(x*y*z)

:P

Videonauth

linear algebra sighs i take a pass

Thomas Ward

i don'ot think there's a solution for it :P

Videonauth

only one way to find out, brute force

but this could result in a very long calculation time

but i also think this is impossible to solve

because to reac alone 666 with the other side of the formula would make the potence of the 666 grow

and so you would have to adjust the addition side of the fomula to accomodate and so on

Thomas Ward

Thomas Ward's Theorem: There is no solution for x^2+y^2+z^2=666^(x*y*z) where x != 0, y!=0, and z != 0

@ThomasWard ^

this is what python has spout out after bruteforcing positive integers for each number from 0 to 1000000

so three possible solutions

Thomas Ward

heh

Videonauth

not sure if i did the script right tho

Terrance

Awesome! NVIDIA released CUDA 10.0 and NVIDIA 410 drivers! askubuntu.com/a/1025949/231142

Videonauth

@Terrance nice

Terrance

Just tested this morning and working great!

Videonauth

4:40 PM

@Terrance you should mention that at the time of writing the drivers and so on mentioned are beta versions and not release candidates

Terrance

Actually, those drivers got released overnight

They now appear on NVIDIA's site

Those also work for the RTX 2080 card

Fabby

@Terrance an edit and an upvote!

Terrance

@Fabby Thank you! =)

Fabby

(no need to keep unsupported in: makes the post clearer)

Terrance

Sounds good to me! I contemplated removal of that. =)

Fabby

4:49 PM

:-) Phew!

I thought you were going to roll back.

Terrance

LOL

Fabby

(yeah, some people get attached to the work they did in the past... )

Terrance

I do and I don't..... Depends on my mood at the time. =)

UGH! I forgot to add to the 18.04 part to still remove the old cuda and NVIDIA drivers. What is wrong with me? Grrrr ;)
