[14:03] <joep-153> Hi folks. I hope you can help. I have a Dell Latitude D620 laptop (2GB ram, 2MHz processor, dual core) with no apparent hardware issues. I was able to install Ubuntu 14.04, but after installing the updates, the log in process halts. Are any of you aware of problems like this?
[14:05] <joep-153> I also tried to install Kubuntu 14.04 . The install halted shortly after getting a graphical screen and would not continue.
[14:05] <penguin42> joep-153: When you say that the 'the login process halts' what is the last thing that happens?
[14:06] <joep-153> I enter my password, push enter, then the screen goes blank
[14:07] <joep-153> I should add that I'm adding a linux version to an already existing winxp pro on the same disk. I shrank the winxp partition with gparted-live
[14:09] <penguin42> yeh that should all work
[14:09] <joep-153> there have been a couple of errors during the boot process.  one is a message that the drive for cryptswapper is not ready or not present
[14:11] <joep-153> it is something in the updates that caused the problem. i don't know which update, though. i let them all be installed
[14:12] <joep-153> I also installed the NVidia proprietary driver.
[14:15] <joep-153> the other error is "error calling EVIOCSKEYCODE"
[14:16] <joep-153> that error is displayed during boot
[14:24] <joep-153> I tried booting with the original kernel (3.16.0-30), but the same problem occurs.
[14:28] <joep-153> BTW, the log-in failure after updates occurs with both the 64 and 32 bit .iso
[14:29] <penguin42> joep-153: Have you tried without the nvidia proprietary driver?
[14:31] <joep-153> i'll try that, but i'm going to do a re-install. I know the free driver worked, but I don't recall if i had done the updates at that point.
[14:31] <joep-153> i'll also try leaving my home directory unencrypted
[14:32] <penguin42> joep-153: There also tend to be 2 or 3 versions of the nvidia closed drivers available; try the other versions
[14:34] <joep-153> i'll do that. thanks for the suggestions
[17:25] <BarnOwl> After re-installing Ubuntu, I found that my blank screen issue was due to using the latest NVidia proprietary driver.
[17:25] <BarnOwl> thanks
[21:09] <martijnbb22> Hey guys. I want to report a bug, but I have no idea which package it belongs to (yes, I've read ReportingBugs).
[21:09] <martijnbb22> And I've heard a picture says more than a thousand words, so here we go:
[21:09] <martijnbb22> http://i.imgur.com/fdcUxSb.jpg
[21:09] <martijnbb22> This is my desktop, with Libreoffice open
[21:09] <martijnbb22> Well, it's supposed to be anyway
[21:09] <martijnbb22> After looking really really carefully, I discoverd it at the right side of my screen..
[21:10] <martijnbb22> http://i.imgur.com/BGew1eV.png
[21:12] <martijnbb22> I've spent 10 minutes trying to get Libreoffice to show up, so I consider this a bug: I window (at the very least of the default Ubuntu applications) should not be able to shrink to this size.
[21:12] <martijnbb22> *A window
[21:13] <martijnbb22> Sooo.. which package should I report this to?
[21:13] <roadmr> martijnbb22: don't overthink it too much, file it in libreoffice and if it belongs elsewhere, a triager will move it to the proper place
[21:14] <roadmr> martijnbb22: if you haven't noticed it with anything but libreoffice, it's a fair bet that's a good place for it. If you've seen it with other applications, it may belong in unity, compiz or xorg, but this is just speculation :P
[21:17] <martijnbb22> Hmm, i've tried this with some applications. Some refuse to resize to 1x1, some don't (including libreoffice, pidgin)
[21:17] <martijnbb22> thanks for your comment, I will report it to libreoffice/pidgin
[21:17] <roadmr> martijnbb22: I'd still file it under the specific application
[21:17] <roadmr> no prob :)
[21:17] <teward> i agree with roadmr on this one, you should probably file it against libreoffice, rather than moultiple
[21:17] <teward> since the cause/issue is potentially different for each one
[21:17] <martijnbb22> yeah
[21:17] <teward> (perhaps have different bugs for each program)
[21:18] <martijnbb22> ok, thanks for your comment guys!
[21:24] <martijnbb22> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1458684
[21:24] <martijnbb22> :)
[21:37] <teward> martijnbb22: you missed important information: the version of Ubuntu you have, the version of the package you have, etc.  Consider running `apport-collect 1458684`
[21:42] <martijnbb22> @teward: woops, thanks
[21:42] <meetingology> martijnbb22: Error: "teward:" is not a valid command.
[21:42] <martijnbb22> teward: woops, thanks
[21:44] <teward> martijnbb22: you're welcome ignore the comments on the bug
[21:44] <teward> i submitted a comment just as you did that command and attached data
[21:44] <teward> asynchronicity is a problem
[21:44] <martijnbb22> haha no kidding
[21:44] <teward> martijnbb22: also, in future, `ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME` <--
[21:45] <teward> that command automatically does the apport data collection step
[21:46] <martijnbb22> i see, thanks! (and i did read that on reportingbugs, so it's just me being stupid..)
[21:47] <teward> no problem, just a tidbit for the future :)
