[00:14] /quit [00:14] woops [04:19] Hibernate has an odd bug for me. This happened also in Debian, but an update fixed it. When I go into hibernate, everything works great. But once the computer has shut down, it immediately turns back on and leaves hibernate. Any help with this? I have no idea what could be causing it. [05:58] So, I was having some problems with hibernate/suspend. As my computer would suspend or hibernate, it would immediately resume. I fixed this problem using acpitool. There's some device titled "PWRB" that needed to be disabled for the system to hibernate. At first I thought this was the power button, but when I disable it the power button still works to resume the computer. How can I permanently stop this [05:58] thing from forcing the computer to resume? [08:19] Hey guys, when trying to install wine package from repositories, it advices me that nvidia-libopencl1-331 will be removed in order to install wine. [08:20] Nvidia its my graphic card chipset, im using the propietary drivers.. Will that have some negative consequence on my graphics driver? [08:21] I didn't know there was opencl software for nvidia gpus. [08:21] maybe wine can work under them [08:21] right... directx and open GL are most seen, right? [08:22] Well, nvidia has cuda, as opposed to opencl. So, it just confused me. [08:22] opencl is not a graphics instruction set. like opengl and directx. [08:22] ill just take the risk [08:22] yeah i already noticed [08:23] its a programming language [08:23] didnt know about that. sorry i got confused because of the similar name [08:23] with opengl [08:24] Allows for parallel tasking on gpus. Best for repetitive instructions that hog cpu resources. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [11:03] Hey everyone. I'm having an issue that's preventing me from booting into my install unless I have the "nomodeset" parameter checked. Same issue present in other Ubuntu-based distros. Help please! [11:04] xubuntu-sam, more details = better answers ... [11:05] Boots into black screen with mouse cursor. I *can* access tty from Ctrl+Alt+F1. Issue seems similar to one around the web for lightdm with SSDs but none of the fixes have worked. [11:05] nomodeset allows me in normally but that seems to mean my video card (drivers) don't work at all. (radeon / 2 79xx cards) [11:08] xubuntu-sam, entirely possible that your card is under/not supported [11:09] unsupported by what, the drivers? I've checked and support should be there. primary card is HD7970 [11:09] pretty sure they dropp ed it for that [11:09] xubuntu-sam, as verified where? [11:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [11:10] the R series 280/290x may still be supported though [11:10] it's identical architecture to 280(x) [11:10] but quite a bit older [11:11] only around 2 years or so [11:11] and the propietary is fglrx [11:11] yes, which from what I can recall had the same issue when I last tried to get Linux to work a year ago [11:11] they drop support pretty fast these days [11:11] xubuntu-sam, supported but hardware is too old for unity ... that suggests you will have issues ... [11:11] hardware too old for unity......? [11:11] xubuntu-sam, wait, you're not running unity are you? [11:11] no [11:12] xubuntu standard [11:13] xubuntu-sam, OK. that page shows how to find error messages with terminal: dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon' [11:13] tried that, from what I can recall it came back empty [11:17] just to clear up confusion, this is the equivalent of my card. no way this can be outdated. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202114&cm_re=7970-_-14-202-114-_-Product [11:19] (lower down on that linked page above: TAHITI/PITCAIRN/VERDE Radeon HD 7000/"Southern Islands" series) [11:21] it's not outdated or low end or whatever [11:21] I would suggest that you install fglrx [11:22] I can give that another go but that's what I tried last time and I think I ran into the same issue. I have a log I kept, I'll have a quick look at that [11:22] the open source driver seems to cause some trouble with your hardware setup [11:22] xubuntu-sam, nvidia seems to be the best choice for linux. [11:23] right, you should take a closed look at the log files in /var/log [11:23] closer look [11:24] cfhowlett, yeah, but it's not so easy to dump two fairly expensive video cards like that :p but noted for future purchases. brainwash, I'm in Windows right now. going to reboot into Xubuntu with nomodeset and have a look and report back. back shortly. [11:24] xubuntu-sam, record your terminal output! [11:26] righty, I'm in Xubuntu now. what am I looking for? [11:27] xubuntu-sam, run the analysis tools listed on the page you posted earlier. save it all to a text file so you can paste all at once [11:28] not much: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8499344/ [11:28] but this is with nomodeset [11:29] xubuntu-sam, right. now do the trouble shooting from that page [11:30] which one? all else I see is just below to install mesa-utils and run LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo [11:33] you should boot without nomodeset and check the logs [11:34] otherwise it won't load the radeon driver [11:34] okay, so boot without nomodeset, and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [11:34] yes [11:34] okay. I shall return. :) [11:38] full log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8499389/ [11:39] hmm.. there are plenty of references to fglrx in there. is that normal? [11:41] xubuntu-sam, my understanding from reading the page is that fglrx and the radeon drivers conflict. bazhang suggested you fglrx IIRC [11:42] when I used fglrx drivers on a fresh Ubuntu install last time I tried Linux I had a load of graphical corruption.. I'd much rather just try to remove all fglrx from this system and make it work with radeon [11:42] did you install fglrx at some point? [11:43] not on this install. I think it may have already been installed automatically, I can't remember [11:43] but I certainly didn't manually install it [11:44] does the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist? [11:45] it should not by default [11:45] nope, not seeing it [11:45] but still, it's worth to give fglrx a try.. it's the official AMD driver after all [11:46] this is what happened a few months ago when I last tried Linux. on that occasion I tried fglrx. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/27jupa/help_what_could_be_causing_this_xpost_rubuntu/ [11:47] you'd think it was hardware but these cards run flawlessly in Windows and have done for over a year through various driver installs [11:48] you'll have to test different drivers and options [11:48] maybe even get the latest fglrx driver package from AMD's website [11:49] I can get fglrx or fglrx-updates from the settings driver panel, which should I test first? [11:50] should not matter, the package is identical [11:51] version 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2 [11:51] okay, installing fglrx now. here goes.. [11:51] good luck :) [11:55] back. after reboot it just kicked me straight into text mode. [11:55] I'm in Windows now [11:56] I really want to like Linux but jesus these drivers [11:58] run "sudo start lightdm" to launch the display manager manually, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log again, also /var/log/lightdm/* [11:58] tried that, it didn't recognise "lightdm". [11:58] unknown service? [11:58] something like that [11:59] that's odd [12:00] radeon or fglrx, something about Linux HATES my system [12:00] this should only be the case, if you've removed the lightdm package [12:00] there's something very specific doing it [12:00] nope, didn't touch it. just installed fglrx from driver panel [12:00] just to make sure, which xubuntu bersion are you trying to install? [12:00] version too [12:01] already installed. 14.04.1 LTS iirc [12:01] similar issues with Ubuntu from 12 through 14 [12:01] and Mint [12:01] well, mint is based on ubuntu so not much difference in the drivers [12:02] yeah. I can't remember if Debian had the same issue [12:02] it's likely if it's a driver issue [12:02] maybe you should head over to #ubuntu then :) [12:03] problem is that the way it presents itself in Ubuntu is even weirder [12:04] full on screen corruption reminiscent of hardware trouble [12:04] I suggest that you also test the current development release, 14.10 [12:05] Ubuntu or Xubuntu? [12:05] I guess Ubuntu and then whatever works there will trickle down here right? [12:05] yeah [12:05] either, but if you've had less issues with xubuntu, then probably it [12:05] but it really doesn't matter.. [12:06] I'll try Ubuntu 14.10 with #Ubuntu as there's probably more likely to be other users with same issue there too I guess. Sigh.. drivers. Seriously tempted to just sell these cards for a pittance and buy Nvidia right now! Anyway, cheers everyone for the help! [12:07] np, and good luck [12:46] morning [12:47] I need some help [12:52] theringmaster, just ask the question, and if somebody knows the answer, they'll most likely reply [12:55] I would like to be able to have knoppix, fedora, lubuntu, and xubuntu on same machine to test them before deciding on best one, knoppix did not see fedora, lubuntu did not see knoppix, and xubuntu saw lubuntu as ubuntu 13 but boots directly into xubuntu, am I able to use all 4 and if so how do I do this [12:56] theringmaster, yes you can but you'll need to do some delicate operations. [12:58] theringmaster, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiOSBoot [12:58] ok, have my pad and pen ready, ubuntu 13 and 14 did it pretty much automatically but I can neither use either one because it slowed my computer down real bad [12:58] ok thank you [12:59] the other option is to run them as virtual machines [13:00] install one to HD, run the rest under virtualbox [13:01] thought about that but wanted the ability to install additional packages and stuff [13:04] you can do that under the virtual machines as well [13:05] but if I close out vm or shut the machine down do I lose info? [13:06] no, virtual machines have virtual hard drives, so as long as you shut them down as you would shut down the system otherwise, data will be saved [13:06] the only two major differences are: [13:06] 1) virtual machines use additional resources (you practically have to run two systems of top of each other) [13:06] 2) with virtual machines, you must always run one system to be able to get to the other systems [13:07] but in a tryout environment, those are hardly a problem (unless you are really short on resources) [13:10] thanks, may be a plan b as my current machine is not that great and I'm waiting to get ram for a server I was given that I may use as a regular desktop [14:50] Hallo.

[21:34] great! [21:34] I am in Spain, let's see if I can buy also [21:34] like via some contests or so [21:34] you definitely can [21:34] sounds good to me [21:39] I really like xubuntu [21:40] I have xubuntu, crunchbang debian and Kali linux in this eeepc [21:40] asus [21:41] and Crunchbang is great, with openbox, clean and light; but xubunt solves quite a few more needs in advance and I find going back to it for non specialized stuff, even coding [21:41] but I may be going off topic [21:41] jeje [21:43] the community has also been very helpful to me, particularly in this channel, big thank you! I even installed it already in my friend and my parent's computer. My friend is new to linux, and we just finished wiping her windowsxp partition, due to her switching 100% to xubuntu.
