| ET_Warrior | Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a jam... | 16:44 |
| ET_Warrior | My Mac isn't showing my Linux OS anymore that I just installed. | 16:44 |
| holstein | why would it? did you install grub on it? or something like reFit? or the modern equivalent? | 16:44 |
| holstein | !mac | 16:44 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 16:44 |
| ET_Warrior | It had Grub on it | 16:45 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: you had? you'll need a boot loader that supports all the operating systems you are using.. | 16:45 |
| ET_Warrior | I tried to boot into my mac, but it didn't work, so I held the alt button, and it showed up my Macontosh HD | 16:45 |
| ET_Warrior | Then I booted into mac | 16:45 |
| ET_Warrior | now it just boots into mac by default | 16:45 |
| ET_Warrior | I need to get rEFIt again? | 16:46 |
| holstein | you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:46 |
| ET_Warrior | Alright thanks. | 16:46 |
| ET_Warrior | ehhh won't work. | 16:47 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: what wont do what? | 16:47 |
| ET_Warrior | that's if I were still in linux | 16:47 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: no.. thats from a live CD | 16:47 |
| ET_Warrior | Mac won't boot into the GRUB Menu | 16:47 |
| ET_Warrior | it just starts mac by default again. | 16:47 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: you can boot the live iso from usb or whatever, and try recovering the grub that you are missing | 16:48 |
| ET_Warrior | I wanted it to boot into Linux by default. | 16:48 |
| ET_Warrior | Okay, let's try that... | 16:48 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: sure, and it seems you are reporting, osx over wrote the bootloader you put in place.. | 16:48 |
| ET_Warrior | I wanted to boot into Mac to find out the name of a email client I had, supposedly private, and encrypted. | 16:48 |
| ET_Warrior | and also to put Linux as the default startup disk | 16:48 |
| ET_Warrior | So just try booting from my USB again? | 16:49 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: friend.. if you are not seeing grub, and you are only seeing the mac boot loader, the mac bootloader will *not* boot xubuntu, or offer to | 16:49 |
| ET_Warrior | So there's no way to recover my Linux Partition installed already? | 16:50 |
| ET_Warrior | unless I get rEFIt? | 16:50 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: sure.. there are *many* ways to "recover" that | 16:50 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: one i would try, is the link i gave with "boot repair".. where, you boot the live iso from usb or cd/dvd and reinstall grub | 16:51 |
| ET_Warrior | Alright, let's try rEFIt, I appreciate your help. | 16:51 |
| ET_Warrior | Oh, Okay. | 16:51 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: another would be to copy the data you need to save in that live environemnt and reinstall | 16:51 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: another would be, to read the links about installing on the !mac,a nd make sure you are doing everything properly | 16:51 |
| ET_Warrior | Alright thanks. | 16:51 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: in my experience, which is a bit dated, i used reFit | 16:52 |
| ET_Warrior | I'm going to try the Live USB | 16:52 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: i didnt not dual boot... i wiped osx | 16:52 |
| ET_Warrior | I dual booted because there's a lot of data I still have on my OSX | 16:52 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: you should have *everything* backed up, and a way to recover osx, and any other operating systems on the drive | 16:52 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: you *will* lose that data when the hard drive *does* fail, so, go ahead and back it up.. and plan for the loss | 16:52 |
| ET_Warrior | Hm... alright. | 16:53 |
| ET_Warrior | Looking in DiskUtility... it seems that my OSX renamed Xubuntu's partition as something else. | 16:55 |
| ET_Warrior | Looking in Disk Utility, it seems OSX Renamed Xubuntu's partition as something else.. | 16:55 |
| ET_Warrior | Whoops | 16:55 |
| ET_Warrior | Didn't see that my messages typed. | 16:55 |
| ET_Warrior | brb | 16:56 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: sure.. and OSX may wipe, or remove, or delete, or break xubuntu, or linux | 16:59 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: apple doesnt promise or support dual booting.. and xubuntu isnt preventing you from dual booting | 17:00 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: i had an older version of OSX that wasnt supported any longer, so, i didnt bother setting up dual boot.. but, there is something newer than reFit now.. | 17:00 |
| holstein | but, refit is what i used http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s1_install.html | 17:01 |
| holstein | well... | 17:01 |
| === matthew is now known as ET_Warrior | ||
| ET_Warrior | Who was the fellow that helped me? | 17:10 |
| ET_Warrior | THANK YOU SO MUCH! | 17:10 |
| ET_Warrior | Boot repair worked!! | 17:10 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: it may be that osx "breaks" that each time it boots.. i would look into reFit.. or the modern equivalent | 17:13 |
| holstein | http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s1_install.html | 17:13 |
| holstein | i would have my data backed up on *all* hard drives.. | 17:13 |
| ET_Warrior | Yeah I did have rEFIt, but I gotten rid of it shortly after. | 17:13 |
| ET_Warrior | I know it's wise to backup data, but I don't have a big enough Flash ROM to do that. | 17:14 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: that is a tool that may help you address the issue | 17:14 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: no. its not "wise" to backup.. its the *only* way to keep the data. *all* drives fail.. period | 17:14 |
| ET_Warrior | Now I need to figure out how to install drivers and other things to my mac from linux. | 17:15 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: you dont have to backup, and its not a sign of intelligence.. its just the *only* way to secure information like that.. on *any* hard drive | 17:15 |
| ET_Warrior | Yeah, but like I said, I don't have a big enough flash drive. | 17:16 |
| ET_Warrior | The one I have is only 8GB | 17:16 |
| ET_Warrior | I have more data than 8Gb | 17:16 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: get one.. things are cheap these days, and you *will* lose the data, and shouldnt be resizing partitions without the data backed up.. | 17:16 |
| ET_Warrior | I need one that's like 250 GB | 17:17 |
| ET_Warrior | so I can just put the whole HD in it. | 17:17 |
| ET_Warrior | I think they make them 1 TB now | 17:17 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: only you know your needs.. im only stating facts.. i see 1 tb and 2 tb drives *quite* resonably priced these days.. | 17:17 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: dont think.. look it up, and check pricing, and get a backup plan | 17:18 |
| ET_Warrior | 1 TB is 90 bucks. | 17:18 |
| ET_Warrior | 500 GB is 70 | 17:18 |
| ET_Warrior | on Amazon. | 17:18 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: sure, and is your data important? or no? only you know what you need.. im only stating the fact that you will lose that drive | 17:18 |
| ET_Warrior | Well I appreciate your warnings! Like I said, I am a newbie to Linux. | 17:19 |
| ET_Warrior | Thank you again. | 17:19 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: this has *nothing* to do with linux.. its just a fact of all hardware like that | 17:19 |
| ET_Warrior | Well yeah, but I mean you're being very helpful, and I appreciate that. | 17:19 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: i only mention it becuase you are dual booting, and resizing your partitions.. and dont have a backup.. it is not recommended that you do that.. and one could percieve data loss as a linux problem.. | 17:19 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: sure.. we try | 17:20 |
| ET_Warrior | Where are apps located in linux? | 17:22 |
| ET_Warrior | I wanted to set another browser as default, but I can't seem to locate it. | 17:22 |
| ET_Warrior | Specifically... Superbird-Browser. | 17:22 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: i say, try and approach any linux with the same approach you likely used in osx.. try the defaults, and more common tools and applications | 17:23 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: otherwise, install whatever browser you like, and when you launch it, you should be promted to make it the default | 17:23 |
| ET_Warrior | I don't believe I was.. | 17:23 |
| ET_Warrior | Let's see though | 17:24 |
| ET_Warrior | I can play around with the settings. | 17:24 |
| ET_Warrior | Thanks. | 17:24 |
| ET_Warrior | Yes I was asked apparently. | 17:24 |
| holstein | ET_Warrior: and, if you dont install from the default sources, you are responsible for updating and maintaining the software | 17:25 |
| ET_Warrior | I see. | 17:25 |
| holstein | which is fine, but, if you are new, and using an uncommon tool that is not well integrated, you can create a security problem for yourself | 17:26 |
| ET_Warrior | Yeah. | 17:26 |
| ET_Warrior | Is the sound system better on Linux? | 17:27 |
| ET_Warrior | I heard it was. | 17:27 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got a friend on 14.04, and for some reason her only available screen resolution (after an update I guess) is 640x480. What's the quickest way out of this pickle? | 17:29 |
| Hedgework | craigbass1976: a pastebin of the output of "xrandr" would be helpful | 17:30 |
| craigbass1976 | Hedgework: http://pastebin.com/cqfSVLTV | 17:31 |
| Hedgework | craigbass1976: that means that either the monitor in question or the video chipset is refusing to give Xorg usable data on what resolutions it can handle. | 17:32 |
| Hedgework | craigbass1976: if you look this up online by searching the model numbers of the video card and monitor, you can manually configure Xorg | 17:32 |
| craigbass1976 | Weird that it ran fine for months after a fresh install though | 17:33 |
| craigbass1976 | I thought there was a command that would redetect it, like whatever ran during install | 17:33 |
| Hedgework | craigbass1976: "Xorg -configure" is worth trying | 17:36 |
| craigbass1976 | There was a "proprietary Drivers" app I'm trying | 17:37 |
| Hedgework | It may or may not be able to do more effective detection than was already done. | 17:37 |
| Hedgework | installed before the failure? | 17:37 |
| Hedgework | That would easily explain it if you're messing around with what drivers you're using. | 17:38 |
| craigbass1976 | I think an update might have cause the box to stop using the driver. Waiting to see what happens after a reboot | 17:42 |
| holstein | have you added PPA's? have you tried booting the older kernel? the last known good one.. | 17:42 |

| Chuck_ | Hi, I have installed Xfce on Ubuntu 14.04 laptop and while tweaking it, found that there's no OSD for Brightness or Volume control. In fact, the volume wheel didn't even work. Can someone help me? | 22:00 |
| holstein | Chuck_: what do you mean by "while tweaking it" ? did these things work in main ubuntu? have you tried a xubuntu live iso on the hardware? this would help you determine if the issue is on your install, or in the distro.. | 22:01 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts is where i usually start.. | 22:01 |
| Chuck_ | holstein: By tweaking it, I mean adjusting panels and default applications. I used gnome-shell and unity before xfce and everything worked out of the box. Haven't tried the live ISO sadly. | 22:02 |
| holstein | Chuck_: there are different sessions at login, as well.. xubuntu and xfce.. you can try the different options | 22:03 |
| Chuck_ | I am using Xfce at the moment, I installed it using the ppa and xfce4 alongwith its dependencies | 22:03 |
| holstein | !ppa | 22:05 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 22:05 |
| holstein | Chuck_: i would try a stock live iso, and make sure the ppa isnt causing issues | 22:05 |
| Chuck_ | holstein: But what about OSD? shouldn't that work? | 22:07 |
| holstein | Chuck_: if the unsupported sources you added broke it, it wont.. | 22:08 |
| holstein | Chuck_: and im not saying they did.. but, its a possibility.. | 22:08 |
| Chuck_ | ahh | 22:08 |
| Chuck_ | holstein: ok it seems I was mistaken. I did not install xfce through ppa, that was other softwares I was installing and I though I added a ppa for xfce too. I checked and that was not the case | 22:11 |
| holstein | Chuck_: sure.. so, those sources *can* break functionality.. an easy way to check would be, the live iso.. | 22:12 |
| holstein | Chuck_: otherwise, you can use the link i gave to start troubleshooting the plumbing.. or, look for other sessions and try them | 22:12 |
| Chuck_ | holstein: Alright, that seems a logical step then, thanks for you help. | 22:12 |
| holstein | Chuck_: sure.. good luck | 22:14 |
