Heraklesstop bothering , please...19:10
Guest53005ok19:10
stlsaintGuest53005: dont waste your key strokes. He is set on being stuck with a EOL release19:10
Unit193Herakles: It's end of life has passed, there will be no security or other updates and it's unsupported, if you really want to use it (though HIGHLY recommended that you don't), you'll have to figure it out yourself.19:11
HeraklesiUnit, what is your age ?19:11
stlsaintUnit193: omg thank you19:11
Guest53005yeah, as they said19:11
Herakleswe know...19:11

Heraklesdowngrade then...19:12
Herakleslol....19:13
Unit193Herakles: This also isn't a social channel, if you wanted that you can try #ubuntu-offtopic or the network wide #defocus.19:13

Herakleskick me19:13

Heraklesthank you Unit19319:13
Guest53005It also happens when i often switch from tty to unity19:13
stlsaintGuest53005: have you tried using ctrl+alt+f719:14
stlsaintoh, nevermind than19:14
Guest53005Yes i know what this stuff ctrl+alt+f1, 2 3 does and after some time tty consoles stop work19:14
stlsaintwhat do you mean no video? as in your desktop server (x11) does not work?19:14
Unit193You can check for info logs in /var/log/syslog and the command dmesg19:14
mh0Guest53005: I have had that issue before, but never really understood why19:14
Guest53005My Unity works well but when i switch to tty i get no signal..19:15
Guest53005maybe a bug?19:15
stlsaintGuest53005: meh, could be19:15
HeraklesUnit193: are you trying to fool me ?19:16
HeraklesI have a problem with my machine...19:16
Guest53005I can say too I was changing some options in grub(vga=795) to change tty video resolution. It was successful.19:16
stlsaintah that may have sometihng to do with,19:16
Unit193!eol | Herakles, last warning.19:16
ubot2Herakles, last warning.: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades19:16
* stlsaint has never changed tty settings19:17
Herakleswarn your parents...19:17
Heraklesass19:17
Herakleshole...19:17
stlsaintHAMMER!19:17
Guest53005Before that I've had no signal in tty or a poor 800x600 res.19:17
stlsaintwhew19:17
cortmanThanks19:17
Guest53005I can switch from unity to tty and everything works well, but after some switching or staying a longer time in unity tty works no longer :/19:18
Unit193Guest53005: What happens if you  sudo service lightdm restart  from tty?19:20
Guest53005I'll try now19:21
helium_lol19:22
Unit193https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/946572 Doesn't quite sound the same.19:22
ubot2Ubuntu bug 946572 in unity "unity in Precise freezes randomly, but pointer moves and can switch to tty" [Undecided,Expired]19:22
stlsainthelium_: sup19:23
helium_it restarted my Unity session as expected19:23
helium_do I have to do this in terminal when tty stops working?19:23
Unit193TTY stops, or you seemed to say Unity stopped working.19:24
helium_tty stops19:24
helium_I said19:24
helium_To make everything clearly understandable: When I boot ubuntu both tty and unity work fine. After some time(5-10 mins) when i try to switch to tty i get No video signal, unity is still working well.19:25
cortmanhelium_, you have multivt enabled in the boot options I assume?19:25
helium_idk19:26
helium_i'll check19:26
helium_if it has to be in grub settings, then no19:27
helium_tty just stopped working for me19:28
helium_ctrl + alt + f1 = no signal19:28
helium_maybe it's framebuffer problem ?19:29
helium_acpid problem?19:32
helium_hmm i just get message w/ available kernel update maybe it would help? what do you think?19:34
cortmanI'm not real knowledgable on that to be honest helium_ - have you tried posting on the forums?19:35
helium_yes on the Polish Ubuntu forum about 2, 3 days ago, but still no answers19:36
cortmanHave you tried ubuntuforums.org?19:36
cortmanYour English is quite good enough. :)19:36
helium_ok I will try19:37
helium_I'm looking on my syslog now19:37
helium_hmm it looks interesting19:37
cortmanThe reason I suggest it is because you'll have *hundred thousand eyes looking at it there, rather than 68 here. Not to discourage you from using IRC.19:37
helium_ok :)19:38
Unit193If you type  dmesg  you'll get more info as well.19:39
helium_but there's no time information19:39
helium_how can i start AptDaemon?19:39
helium_There are no clues in syslog, except "AptDaemon quit" when tty stopped working19:44
helium_Can you tell me how to enable hibernation?19:47

helium_I've not solved my problem, but thanks everyone :)19:56
helium_I've posted it at Ubuntu Forums19:56
helium_good night to all19:56
