| patrick__ | I am new to development, and I am trying to boot up Ubuntu with testdrive for the first time. When I do, Ubuntu starts to boot, but then prints out the error message "BUG soft lockup..." Has anyone seen this before? | 07:07 |

| coz_ | hey guys, noticed , on t his dual monitor set up, the cursor edge resistance between the two monitors... is there a way to reduce its effectiveness? | 12:25 |
| coz_ | I mean, when moving a window from one monitor to the other, the cursor gets "stuck" at the bezel edge of the mon itors,, grid kicks in, and it takes a good "swing" to actually get that window to the other monitor by passing the grid animation. | 12:29 |
| coz_ | actrually sometimes a real good "slam" to get it past :) | 12:29 |
| coz_ | ah never mind,, I thiank I got it | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:09 |
| shaneo1 | hi guys, did an update the other day in 13.04, now I am unable to login, the nvidia splash screen flashs up 3 times but I can not get to lightdm, I entered recovery mode and remove nvidia, now I can get access only to tty 1, but when I try to restart lightdm, it returns to the blank screen with a flashing _ in the top left, noueuv display drivers not working either, any advise? kernal is 3.5.0, although it mentions when I do an up | 13:19 |
| shaneo1 | if the nvidia drivers are in stalled and the blinking _ displays I can not ctrl-alt-f1 to tty | 13:20 |
| shaneo1 | can anyone assist with my login issue | 13:55 |
| BluesKaj | shaneo1, try nomodeset in the grubline right after "quiet splash , highlight the ubuntu kernel in grub then use 'e' key edit | 14:06 |
| shaneo1 | ok I will try that thanks | 14:12 |
| shaneo1 | no thats a no go, last line stays *starting [OK] and thats it | 14:15 |
| shaneo1 | is there a log file I can look at to see what is breaking | 14:15 |
| penguin42 | shaneo1: if you can get to a ctrl-alt-f1 console there are a few | 14:21 |
| shaneo1 | yes I am there now | 14:21 |
| penguin42 | /var/log/lightdm is a good place to look | 14:21 |
| shaneo1 | ok | 14:21 |
| penguin42 | also dmesg | 14:21 |
| shaneo1 | lightdm is empty | 14:22 |
| penguin42 | completely? | 14:22 |
| shaneo1 | yes | 14:23 |
| penguin42 | hmm curious | 14:23 |
| shaneo1 | last entry on dmesg is IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP: wlan0: Link is not ready | 14:24 |
| shaneo1 | im not using IPv6, using IPv4 | 14:25 |
| penguin42 | don't worry about that, last message isn't necessarily important | 14:25 |
| shaneo1 | ok I needed to add lightdm.log | 14:25 |
| shaneo1 | failed to start greeter | 14:26 |
| penguin42 | note, it's not /var/log/lightdm.log, it's /var/log/lightdm that's a directory | 14:26 |
| shaneo1 | stopping display | 14:26 |
| shaneo1 | yes I get that :-) | 14:26 |
| shaneo1 | X server stopped | 14:26 |
| penguin42 | ok, what about x-0.log in there? | 14:26 |
| shaneo1 | removing x server auroity /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 | 14:27 |
| shaneo1 | exiting with return value 1 | 14:27 |
| penguin42 | not last line; can you pastebin the file | 14:27 |
| shaneo1 | not sure how I can from tty | 14:27 |
| penguin42 | pastebinit | 14:27 |
| shaneo1 | just installing it now | 14:29 |
| shaneo1 | ok lightdm.log is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1604617/ | 14:29 |
| shaneo1 | x-0.log is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1604621/ | 14:31 |
| penguin42 | var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log do you have that one? | 14:32 |
| penguin42 | hmm, the error setting MTRR doesn't look good | 14:32 |
| shaneo1 | greeter is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1604626/ | 14:33 |
| shaneo1 | no i noticed that error ;-/ | 14:33 |
| shaneo1 | I removed nvidia drivers so that I could tty | 14:33 |
| penguin42 | oh, the greeter symbol error looks the more important | 14:33 |
| shaneo1 | ok | 14:34 |
| penguin42 | shaneo1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1110645 | 14:34 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1110645 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm-session fails with x-session-manager: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: wl_registry_interface" [Low,Invalid] | 14:34 |
| shaneo1 | thanks I will take a look | 14:35 |
| shaneo1 | i did notice wayland as part of the update before this issue happened | 14:36 |
| shaneo1 | thanks penguin42, I will do what the bug suggests and get back | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | I had a similar issue , that's why I suggested nomodeset , which gave me access to the desktop with startx , but no lightdm greeter | 14:39 |
| shaneo1 | i have tried startx | 14:40 |
| shaneo1 | even installed gdm | 14:41 |
| penguin42 | right, but in this case it's not an X failure, it's the greeter | 14:42 |
| shaneo1 | no didn't seem to work for me, I just tried startx again and got the MTRR error show up | 14:42 |
| penguin42 | ok, is the greeter error still there though? | 14:43 |
| shaneo1 | yes | 14:43 |
| shaneo1 | i think I removed Xauthority ok, not sure how to downgrade the wayland lib though | 14:44 |
| penguin42 | shaneo1: Have you got the ppa installed that bug talks about? | 14:44 |
| shaneo1 | no i don't think so, I just have what raring changed | 14:45 |
| shaneo1 | when I upgraded | 14:45 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 14:45 |
| penguin42 | shaneo1: I'd delete the log file that moans about the bug, stop lightdm and start it again and see if it comes back | 14:45 |
| shaneo1 | ok | 14:46 |
| shaneo1 | it comes back | 14:46 |
| penguin42 | not sure then, you could try changing greeter | 14:48 |
| shaneo1 | I will see if gdm works for me | 14:53 |
| shaneo1 | i have tried it before, thanks for your help, i have registered myself against this bug | 14:53 |
| penguin42 | it might get as far as letting you login and then fail at a guess | 14:54 |
| shaneo1 | yes it fails back at tty wuth the MTRR argument 22 | 14:55 |
| BluesKaj | wayland ..wth is wayland doing in the mix ? | 14:56 |
| penguin42 | now that one is an nvidia/kernel ism | 14:56 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: I think from that bug that the unity stuff is linked against it (presumably _can_ use it) but one of the libraries disagrees | 14:56 |
| shaneo1 | I have no idea what wayland is doing | 15:02 |
| shaneo1 | but i remember seeing it in the updates i did the other day, when it was all working, i assumed Canonical was moving over sometime soon | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps if wayland developement was more complete , we wouldn't have all these X problems | 15:03 |
| shaneo1 | As I have removed the nvidia drivers, i assume it cant see the default noveau drivers | 15:03 |
| shaneo1 | I agree | 15:03 |
| shaneo1 | I have wayland running as a service after doing ps -ef | grep wayland | 15:04 |
| penguin42 | BluesKaj: Well I assume it will take a long time to stabilise it as well | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | shaneo1, check if xserver-xorg-video-nouveau is installed | 15:05 |
| shaneo1 | how should I do that, I don't think I removed it | 15:06 |
| shaneo1 | but i may have done to get nvidia drivers working | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | just tryt to install it at the tty | 15:06 |
| shaneo1 | ok | 15:06 |
| shaneo1 | simplist things are best | 15:07 |
| shaneo1 | already the new version | 15:07 |
| shaneo1 | wants me to remove python-xkit and screen-resolution-extra though | 15:08 |
| shaneo1 | im gonna try reinstalling nvidia-current and then reboot with nomodeset | 15:08 |
| shaneo1 | not tried that one yet | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | shaneo1, don't use nomodeset after installing nvidia-current ..we won't know what's breaking or we'll have to dsearch the logs , try nomodeset the install nvidia current if you can get to a desktop | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | then install nvidia-current | 15:12 |
| shaneo1 | im not able to get to tty with nvidia drivers installed | 15:12 |
| shaneo1 | or desktop | 15:13 |
| shaneo1 | blankscreen with flashing _ top left | 15:13 |
| BluesKaj | well, then just try nomodeset first ...you need to have tty available | 15:13 |
| penguin42 | shaneo1: I'd suggest dropping back a kernel version, the mtrr stuff is a 3 way fight between bios, kernel and graphics stuff | 15:13 |
| shaneo1 | ok | 15:14 |
| shaneo1 | i see that from the on screen disco I just had lol | 15:14 |
| shaneo1 | started in recovery mode now, to remove nvidia drivers | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | the nouveau driver seems to work ok if you just want a working desktop for now | 15:16 |
| shaneo1 | yes that will be fine, if I can get that working | 15:16 |
| shaneo1 | I might just do a fresh install as this is a mash up of 12.10 and 13.04 | 15:18 |
| shaneo1 | thanks for your time guys | 15:20 |
| elhoir | hello all | 15:54 |
| elhoir | i have a problem at screen resolution with nouveau driver | 15:54 |
| elhoir | i cant use 1280x1024 - screen goes off | 15:54 |
| elhoir | it was working in ubuntu 12.10 | 15:55 |
| penguin42 | but what res is working for you? | 15:59 |
| elhoir | 124x768 | 16:03 |
| elhoir | its the res im using now | 16:03 |
| elhoir | 1024x768 sorry | 16:04 |
| penguin42 | can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 16:04 |
| elhoir | sure | 16:05 |
| elhoir | http://pastebin.com/0TRnwPiQ | 16:06 |
| elhoir | here it is | 16:06 |
| elhoir | any idea? | 16:09 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 16:09 |
| penguin42 | that sees the 1280x1024 just fine | 16:09 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: can you pastebin the output of xrandr please | 16:10 |
| elhoir | penguin42, http://pastebin.com/SrQqzb6M | 16:11 |
| penguin42 | hmm, well that says it can see it as well | 16:12 |
| penguin42 | ah, but your error is the screen goes off - not that it doesn't work | 16:12 |
| penguin42 | ah ok, hmm | 16:12 |
| elhoir | goes in power save mode | 16:12 |
| elhoir | so, stand-by | 16:12 |
| elhoir | dunno why | 16:12 |
| elhoir | and i cant restore it but pressing power button and rebooting | 16:13 |
| elhoir | and when i reboot, screen is at 1024x768 again | 16:13 |
| penguin42 | hmm | 16:14 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: from a command line you could try xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1280x1024 I suspect that will do the same thing, but it would be good to know? | 16:15 |
| elhoir | if i dont answer in a short period of time, and i disconnect from IRC, you know the reason :) | 16:16 |
| shaneo1 | BlueKaj: I had disabled nouveau in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf I now have a different error, still have the silly lightdm error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1604913/ but now the x-0.log has changed http://paste.ubuntu.com/1604916/ | 16:16 |
| elhoir | penguin42, imhere | 16:20 |
| elhoir | you saw :) | 16:20 |
| elhoir | screen in stand-by mode again | 16:21 |
| elhoir | i had to reboot | 16:21 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 16:21 |
| shaneo1 | with nomodeset I get the MTRR invalid argument (22) again after typing startx in tty1 | 16:21 |
| elhoir | the thing is, login scren is at 1280x1024 i think | 16:21 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: I don't suppose you have another machine on your network do you that you can remotely logonto this one from? | 16:21 |
| elhoir | and it changes to 1024x768 when logged in | 16:21 |
| elhoir | penguin42, yes i have - a laptop | 16:21 |
| elhoir | i can login via SSH | 16:22 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: So what I'd do is remotely login via ssh, then change to 1280x1024 and see if the machine is really still running and it's just the display that's dead | 16:22 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: You should be able to kill X off and restart it, but before you do see if there is anything in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or the kernel logs | 16:22 |
| elhoir | penguin42, machine is up, i can confirm it | 16:22 |
| elhoir | penguin42, i can power off machine using power off button, so machine is up :) | 16:23 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: OK, so see if you can see if there are any log information there | 16:24 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: you might be able to do a export DISPLAY=:0.0 and use xrandr to switch back to 1024x768 | 16:24 |
| elhoir | penguin42, why is login screen at 1280x1024 and iot changes when logged int ? :( | 16:25 |
| elhoir | logged in* | 16:25 |
| penguin42 | haha don't know | 16:25 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: You could look at /var/log/lightdm there are X logs in there from where lightdm starts X | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | shaneo1, my solution was drastic though , since 13.04 wouldn't install properly from the live dvd, I installed 12.10 and did a net upgrade to 13.04 ..it was my only way around the problem | 16:27 |
| shaneo1 | yes trying to use the livecd install for 13.04 is a bit hit and miss when installing ;-/ | 16:28 |
| elhoir | penguin42, http://pastebin.com/6zuWKgkY | 16:29 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: Yeh there should be an x-0.log in ther as well? | 16:30 |
| elhoir | yeah im on it | 16:30 |
| elhoir | penguin42, http://pastebin.com/wr1mHNxx | 16:30 |
| elhoir | "resize called 1024 768" :( | 16:31 |
| elhoir | where?? | 16:31 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: Yeh that confuses me more | 16:31 |
| elhoir | i have no Xorg.conf | 16:31 |
| penguin42 | you shouldn't need one | 16:31 |
| elhoir | yeah, i mean, that could be the problem, but it isnt | 16:32 |
| elhoir | res might be hardcoded in there, but i havent that file | 16:32 |
| penguin42 | yeh I'm out of ideas | 16:32 |
| shaneo1 | god I hate display driver issues lol | 16:33 |
| penguin42 | haha yeh | 16:33 |
| elhoir | filling a bug report maybe? | 16:33 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: Yep | 16:33 |
| elhoir | im on it | 16:33 |
| elhoir | penguin42, done https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1114431 | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1114431 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "screen goes stand-by if i choose 1280x1024 resolution" [Undecided,New] | 16:38 |
| elhoir | penguin42, but i dont know if the bug is related to nouveau... i think nope.... | 16:38 |
| elhoir | ubottu, hey you are fast :) | 16:38 |
| ubottu | elhoir: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 16:38 |
| elhoir | ouch | 16:38 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: hehe, it's probably nouveau | 16:39 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: I mean it knows the display can do 1280x1024, it's offering to switch it, and then dieing; you could try giving it a modeline and see if that works | 16:40 |
| elhoir | penguin42, sorry i dont understand "giving it a modeline" | 16:42 |
| elhoir | im not english , im spanish :) | 16:42 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: A modeline is an explicit definition of all the parameters for the monitor/frequencies etc | 16:42 |
| elhoir | and how can i do that | 16:42 |
| elhoir | ? | 16:42 |
| penguin42 | it's rather tricky | 16:42 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: if you look in the man page for xrandr there is an example for doing (see the example that uses --newmode) | 16:43 |
| elhoir | xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 63.50 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 | 16:45 |
| elhoir | 775 798 -hsync +vsync | 16:45 |
| elhoir | this one? | 16:45 |
| elhoir | bff.. .i dunno what values do i have to put in there .... | 16:46 |
| penguin42 | yeh, as I say it's rather tricky | 16:46 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: So the other thing you could do is if you still have your 12.10 install is to compare the stuff in it's /var/log/Xorg.0.log against the raring and see what changed | 16:46 |
| elhoir | no i have no 12.10 install | 16:48 |
| elhoir | i upgraded both desktop and laptop | 16:48 |
| elhoir | :P | 16:48 |
| penguin42 | nod | 16:49 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: The other thing is that xrandr seems tobe offering both 60hz and 75hz for the monitor; not sure which one it's using but it might be worth trying to figure out how to do the other | 16:49 |
| elhoir | its using 75Hz according to monitor menu | 16:50 |
| elhoir | in 1024x768 | 16:50 |
| penguin42 | right but the xrandr output shows it's giving a choice of two for the 1280x1024 mode | 16:52 |
| elhoir | ahm | 16:52 |
| elhoir | i cant answer to that.... | 16:52 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: You see the + next to the 60 I think that means it prefers the 60Hz but there is a faster available | 16:55 |
| elhoir | aha | 16:55 |
| elhoir | in the "screen" applet insinde gnome, 1024x768 is 4:3 while 1280x1024 is 5:4 | 16:58 |
| elhoir | it doesnt matter, itsnt it? | 16:58 |
| penguin42 | shouldn't | 16:59 |
| elhoir | ok | 17:02 |
| elhoir | so... what can i do? :( | 17:19 |
| penguin42 | elhoir: Try booting off a 12.10/12.04 live image and capture an xorg.0.log ? | 17:20 |
| elhoir | ok i will, and i will attach output to the bug report | 17:21 |
| BluesKaj | shaneo1_, how goes the kernel install ? | 18:07 |
| shaneo1_ | I have manually installed the kernel, have 3.0.8-4-generic now, but still have the same login issue... damn | 18:08 |
| shaneo1_ | lol | 18:08 |
| shaneo1_ | a lot of blood sweat and tears | 18:08 |
| shaneo1_ | but i must be getting somewhere as I can no longer install nvidia-current, says it depends on nvidia-304 | 18:09 |
| shaneo1_ | so im guessing something is locking up the x.org | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | oh , dump the xorg if it's interfering m, then run nvidia-xconfig after you get a successful nvidia driver install | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | ytou shouldn't need an xorg file with nouveau , it's actaully better not to have one | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | which nvidia card , shaneo1_ ? | 18:14 |
| shaneo1_ | GEFORCE 9800M GT | 18:14 |
| shaneo1_ | you suggesting I manually download it from Nvidia site? | 18:15 |
| BluesKaj | no | 18:16 |
| shaneo1_ | ok | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | but that card gives you more driver options | 18:17 |
| BluesKaj | in the kernel | 18:17 |
| shaneo1_ | ok | 18:17 |
| shaneo1_ | not delved in there. To me its like a black box lol | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | I'm running an entry level 8400gs and it runs great on thenew 310.32 , on the 3.8.0.4 kernel , but that comes later | 18:19 |
| shaneo1_ | I have had mine running great too on the 310, I even updated to the 313?? | 18:20 |
| bjsnider | what login issue? | 18:20 |
| shaneo1_ | still the same symbol lookup error for libgdk-3.so.0 and the undefined symbol: wl_resistry_interface | 18:21 |
| shaneo1_ | ok lightdm is running, but nothing displays | 18:23 |
| shaneo1_ | after I did a sudo service lightdm restart | 18:24 |
| STiK | Damn... Ubuntu runs better in VM than it does natively on my laptop. | 18:54 |

| ironhalik | I bet my laptop it will be around 13-15 after release | 18:59 |

| ironhalik | but they don't have Unity :> | 19:01 |
| elhoir | sometimes i think about using Debian instead of Ubuntu, but Debian has pretty old stuff in it :( | 19:02 |

| ironhalik | I fell in love with Unity, around 11.10 | 19:03 |
| ironhalik | except some quirks | 19:03 |
| elhoir | i didnt until 12.04 iirc | 19:05 |
| elhoir | but at job i couldnt ebable it | 19:05 |
| elhoir | dunno why, probably the integrated nvidia card | 19:06 |

| elhoir | STiK, afaik Intel integrated GPUs works very well in Linux | 19:07 |
| elhoir | due to good open drivers | 19:07 |
| STiK | I had it working well with 12.10 but not 13.04 yet | 19:07 |
| STiK | But since this seems to work much better in VM I may just do that :) | 19:08 |
