| [11:07] <user|69> I am super suprised by your fast help! wow . . . happy to leave windows 10 . . . Thank you for all your help8) | |
| [11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: let's filter the utput a bit, run: sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware | nc termbin.com 9999 | |
| [11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> btw is it a real PC or irtual machine? | |
| [11:08] <diogenes_Vx15> virtual* | |
| [11:09] <user|69> ok boss . . .yes is a real PC ASUS laptop | |
| [11:11] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware | nc termbin.com 9999 | |
| [11:11] <user|69> done | |
| [11:11] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: share the url | |
| [11:12] <user|69> the command is not returning a URL (?) | |
| [11:12] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: ok run just: sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware | |
| [11:13] <diogenes_Vx15> did it show anything? | |
| [11:13] <user|69> no, just returns a shown above . . | |
| [11:14] <diogenes_Vx15> i see, do you remember what error messages, any word from those messages? | |
| [11:14] <oerheks> [sda] tag#6 Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed .. sounds like a bad disk | |
| [11:17] <user|69> after the boot erros . . . Kubuntu loads anyway . . . i am using it now, my new Kubuntu to talk to you .. . everything looks normal! | |
| [11:19] <user|69> I have 2 hard disks sda and sdb. Windows 10 is in sda and Kubutu in sdb . . . | |
| [11:19] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: how old is the laptop? | |
| [11:20] <user|69> Windows is having some problems . . . its very very slow . . . could that be the reason for the error messages? | |
| [11:20] <user|69> laptop is from 2012 more or less . . . 10 years old | |
| [11:21] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: just try to cach some of those messages what it reads and then we can discuss | |
| [11:21] <diogenes_Vx15> but even so, if everything works normally then there's no need to worry about. | |
| [11:24] <user|69> to be honest i installed Kubuntu a month ago and it has been working fine until yesterday when it was not booting any longer. I had to reinstall Kubuntu this morning. I am worried that it will happen again because those error messages at boot time. | |
| [11:25] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: then yes. most lilely your drive is about to fails, i suggest you backup all your data. | |
| [11:26] <user|69> before i buy a new disk driver . . . are you sure i have a bad hard disk? which one sda or sdb? | |
| [11:28] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: we can test it. | |
| [11:28] <user|69> i have nothing important yet in sdb (Kubuntu) . . . no need to backup . . . i think | |
| [11:28] <user|69> ok how do i test? | |
| [11:33] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sudo apt install smartmontools | |
| [11:34] <user|69> ok . . . wait please | |
| [11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> after that run: sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda | |
| [11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> and | |
| [11:34] <diogenes_Vx15> sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb | |
| [11:37] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sda | |
| [11:37] <user|69> smartctl 7.2 2020-12-30 r5155 [x86_64-linux-5.15.0-56-generic] (local build) | |

| [11:37] <user|69> === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === | |
| [11:37] <user|69> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED | |
| [11:37] <user|69> hydnum@Pickle:~$ sudo smartctl -H /dev/sdb | |
| [11:42] <user|69> sorry i was disconnectd . . . i have run both commands: | |
| [11:43] <user|69> sda and sdb return as follows: | |
| [11:43] <user|69> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED | |
| [11:44] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: could you install gnome-disk-utility? | |
| [11:44] <user|69> yes anything you order . . . | |
| [11:45] <diogenes_Vx15> sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility | |
| [11:48] <user|69> done diogenes . . . | |
| [11:49] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sorry i'm a bit multitasking so it takes longer for me to reply that i want | |
| [11:49] <diogenes_Vx15> run in terminal: gnome-disks | |
| [11:50] <user|69> no worries i can wait . . . | |
| [11:50] <diogenes_Vx15> did it open the disks dialog? | |
| [11:50] <user|69> its up and running . . . | |
| [11:51] <diogenes_Vx15> ok in that dialog click on the first drive, then choose the Drive Options, usually represented by 3 dots or a gear | |
| [11:51] <diogenes_Vx15> there select the option: SMART data and self-test | |
| [11:52] <diogenes_Vx15> in the newly opened window look for the row that reads: Current Pending Sector Count | |
| [11:53] <diogenes_Vx15> it should have the value of 0 sectors | |
| [11:53] <diogenes_Vx15> if it's more than 0 then the drive has bad sectors | |
| [11:57] <user|69> i cant find SMART data and self test . . . | |
| [11:57] <user|69> it shows options for partitions . . . | |
| [11:58] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: look on the right side just before the minimize, maximize and close buttons | |
| [11:59] <user|69> ok ok got it ! | |
| [12:02] <user|69> for sda (Windows) test completed . . . it says Disk is, OK 539 bad sectors | |
| [12:02] <user|69> now running on sdb (Kubuntu) . . . | |
| [12:03] <user|69> Disk is OK (no bad sectors) | |
| [12:04] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: look for the line: Current Pending Sector Count | |
| [12:06] <user|69> yes that line shows 539 sectors for sda and 0 for sdb | |
| [12:06] <diogenes_Vx15> which means your sda disk has bad sectors. | |
| [12:07] <user|69> by the way the line just below "Uncorrectable sector count" is 0 sectors for sda. can i somehow correct the bad sectors? | |
| [12:08] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: there are some command to try to correct the bad sectores but the result is not guaranteed and you need to backup your most important data | |
| [12:10] <user|69> yes i would like to try to correct, if is ok for you diogenes, the Windows data is already backed up. | |
| [12:14] <user|69> Anyway, i think diogenes had to leave. THANK YOU for your great help!!! I am very impressed. Have to think about a new hard drive or perhaps a new laptop . . . :b . . . or is it worth trying to fix those sectors ? don know | |
| [12:16] <user|69> anyway, thanks to you, i have decided to move to Kubuntu for good<3 8) | |
| [12:17] <oerheks> bad sectors grow, IMHO | |
| [12:17] <oerheks> replace disk | |
| [12:18] <user|69> ok oerheks i will do that . . . thank you for your wise advise | |
| [12:20] <diogenes_Vx15> user|69: sorry i got disconnected, if you want to try to fix those bad sectors, you can try this tutorial: https://ubunlog.com/en/repara-aisla-sectores-danados-disco-duro-estas-herramientas/ | |
| [12:24] <user|69> yes diogenes while waiting for my new hard drive to arrive . . . i will try to fix those sectors . . . thank you again for your patience . . . you have a friend in France . | |

| [14:10] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> Hello, | |
| [14:10] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> I'm a bit new to the Linux Ecosystem | |
| [14:10] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> and I got into a weird issue | |
| [14:16] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> I'm using Brave browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently | |
| [14:17] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> currently I'm unable to open .pdf file formats in browser | |
| [14:17] <diogenes_Vx15> a_k_s_27, and? | |
| [14:17] <diogenes_Vx15> how you wanna open it in browser? | |
| [14:17] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently | |
| [14:17] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently (re @a_k_s_27: I'm using Brave(or any chromium) browser in my laptop in which I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 recently) | |
| [14:18] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> its not openning (re @IrcsomeBot: <diogenes_Vx15> how you wanna open it in browser?) | |
| [14:18] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> instead its opening a location chooser to download it | |
| [14:18] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> but if i remove the .pdf from file name it opens it | |
| [14:19] <oerheks> it is good practive to download a pdf file first, before opening it | |
| [14:20] <diogenes_Vx15> a_k_s_27, drag and drop a pdf from the file manager into the browser | |
| [14:21] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> actually i have a pdf file already present in my system | |
| [14:22] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> 1 sec i'm uploading a screen recording | |
| [14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> that's what i mean | |
| [14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> a pdf rom your drive | |
| [14:22] <diogenes_Vx15> from* | |
| [14:30] <BluesKaj> Hi all | |
| [14:31] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> It's actually taking some time upload the video, sorry for that (re @a_k_s_27: 1 sec i'm uploading a screen recording) | |
| [14:34] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> so this is what is happening with me here | |
| [14:47] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> this is another recording please have a look at it (re @a_k_s_27: ) | |
| [14:47] <IrcsomeBot> <a_k_s_27> it' very troublesome that all of the chromium browsers are having same problem in my system | |
| [17:45] <andrea_> hi | |
| [19:23] <IrcsomeBot> <Gecko250> Hi how to show battery icon on task bar although full charged? | |
| [19:24] <IrcsomeBot> <Gecko250> The battery icon usually hides when full charged | |
| [19:29] <IrcsomeBot> <DarinMiller> Right click on the system tray, select Configure System Tray. Select the Entries icon on the left, find the Battery and Brightness option and set to Always shown. | |
| [19:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Gecko250> Thanks now it's showing | |
