| Nixus | have a strange issue, and I need some help. when I press the power button on my laptop, it does a instant power off, then restarts again. it is very annoying as the only way to shut it down is to hold it for 8 seconds. please, any help is appreciated. thank you. | 02:38 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Nixus: i would be careful about forcing shutdown like that.. i would expect it to break the hard drive at some point.. i would check the hardware.. on cases like, i'll pull the hard drive so i dont break it, and use a live iso via USB or sd card or cd to test | 03:37 |
| Nixus | I have an SSD | 04:00 |
| Nixus | do you have an idea on what to do? | 04:00 |
| holstein | Nixus: again, be careful.. | 04:01 |
| Nixus | but what else to do? | 04:01 |
| holstein | Nixus: i would test, and isolate, and not assume that powering down the SSD is ok, either.. | 04:01 |
| holstein | Nixus: test.. isolate | 04:01 |
| holstein | try with a live iso.. see if the behavior is still the same.. | 04:02 |
| Nixus | same issue with both version of xubuntu (14.10 and 14.04 | 04:02 |
| holstein | try with the supported operating system if avialable.. if, for example, windows is officially supported and the issue happens in windows, with all the supported drivers, then, its a hardware issue, likely | 04:02 |
| holstein | could be something with the hardware specific to linux.. what would i do? just not press the button.. i would workaround as needed | 04:03 |
| holstein | since, im not promised linux support | 04:03 |
| Nixus | worked with windows as I recall | 04:03 |
| holstein | Nixus: sure.. it "worked" with windows, but, if you dont have it, to confirm, you cant assume its not a hardware issue | 04:04 |
| Nixus | it worked in windows -_- | 04:04 |
| Nixus | trust me | 04:04 |
| holstein | Nixus: sure.. "worked".. but, if you dont have it to test, you cant assume its still working | 04:05 |
| holstein | could be not working with windows anymore.. i would search "ubuntu hardware model" and see if i see any other information about ubuntu on that hardware, or linux in general | 04:05 |
| Nixus | it was working in 14.10, but now it's not | 04:05 |
| Nixus | TRUST ME | 04:05 |
| holstein | Nixus: ok.. so, why not now? | 04:05 |
| Nixus | if I reinstall, it works for some time | 04:05 |
| holstein | Nixus: it *is* possible, that the hardware broke | 04:05 |
| holstein | Nixus: could be, you update the kernel, and a newer kernel breaks support.. | 04:06 |
| holstein | test and isolate.. i'll use live iso's for that, and not kernel versions and any modules in use | 04:06 |
| mattwj2002 | hi all | 04:07 |

| dman79 | dont know if this is the right place to ask.. i'm running xubuntu and I can't get parole player to work.. i did google for a solution and tried the "parole --xv false" fix | 07:57 |
| cfhowlett | dman79, more info: turn parole from the terminal and provide error messages | 07:58 |
| dman79 | but no luck.. gstreamer0.10-plugin-base is installed dunno what else might be needed | 07:58 |
| nomic | why on xubuntu 14.04 does screen saver blanking kick in -- even though xset has it disabled even though light locker is disabled | 07:58 |
| dman79 | ok | 07:58 |
| nomic | since they "fixed" the "screen saver" with "light locker" | 07:58 |
| nomic | everyone has this problem. | 07:58 |
| cfhowlett | nomic, xscreensaver and lightlocker conflict. choose one or the other. | 07:59 |
| nomic | i have REMOVED light locker | 07:59 |
| dman79 | Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory | 07:59 |
| dman79 | Cannot connect to server request channel | 07:59 |
| dman79 | jack server is not running or cannot be started | 07:59 |
| nomic | i have xsxreensvaer siabled | 07:59 |
| nomic | it still blkanks | 07:59 |
| dman79 | thats what i got.. when playing the file | 07:59 |
| cfhowlett | dman79, check your power settings | 08:00 |
| dman79 | k thanks | 08:00 |

| howdystranger | Hello | 09:49 |
| knome | hello | 09:50 |
| howdystranger | can anyone explain to me the rationale behind shipping Abiword by default over Libre Office? Is Abi Word better? | 09:50 |
| knome | it is lighter and it serves the same purpose for a regular user | 09:51 |
| knome | you can install libreoffice from the repositories | 09:51 |
| howdystranger | yeah it's always the first thing I do when I install Xubuntu haha | 09:51 |
| howdystranger | "lighter" is a fair enough rationale I guess :-) | 09:52 |
