| sparky | my distro upgrade got interrupted, it acually boots and i tried to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" but i get an error in parsing some of the files | 00:59 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | sparky: ouch | 01:03 |
| holstein | i know what i would do.. i dont like distro upgrades, anyways.. so, i would just backup, and fresh install.. i consider that the shortest path to a "clean" system | 01:03 |
| holstein | otherwise, what file isnt "parsing? | 01:04 |
| Unit193 | sparky: Pastebin? | 01:04 |
| sparky | yea just a sec | 01:06 |
| sparky | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11401877/ | 01:06 |
| Unit193 | Welp. Not seen that before. | 01:07 |
| Unit193 | I'd hesitate to blindly tell you to delete that file and try again, however it does appear corrupt. | 01:08 |
| sparky | hm, ok... i guess ill do that | 01:09 |
| sparky | seems to be finishing the installation, thanks for the suggestion. should've tried that :P | 01:12 |
| Unit193 | Heh, I'd have hesitated too. | 01:13 |
| sparky | works great. thanks again, :) | 01:48 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing, glad to help. | 01:56 |
| christine | hello everyone | 10:01 |

| Guest19263 | i have a issue with my battery indicator icon not showing on system tray anyone know what could be happening ? | 10:02 |
| snellejongen23 | hey guys | 13:00 |
| snellejongen23 | i'm having an odd problem, i have 2 pc's both the same intel extreme graphics | 13:01 |
| snellejongen23 | the first is a laptop with lubuntu, the second a desktop celeron with lubuntu | 13:01 |
| snellejongen23 | the laptop has no intel graphics drivers installed and the desktop has intel graphics drivers for linux | 13:01 |
| snellejongen23 | the laptop runs youtube fine, the desktop runs it choppy | 13:02 |
| snellejongen23 | alptop: pentium centrino 1,4gzh 512 MB, desktop: 2.2 Ghz celeron 1GB Ram | 13:04 |
| snellejongen23 | could it be that it has nothing todo with the intel graphics, as the laptop has no graphics drivers installed? | 13:06 |
| snellejongen23 | and that the flash, movies run on the cpu as instead on the gpu for decoding | 13:06 |
| hateball | snellejongen23: Flash is CPU intensive yes | 13:08 |
| hateball | snellejongen23: What browser are you using to watch it in? | 13:08 |
| hateball | Firefox uses an old Adobe npapi flash, chromium/chrome uses a newer flash that might have better performance | 13:09 |
| hateball | snellejongen23: also you can go to youtube.com/html5 to make sure you're using that instead of flash | 13:09 |
| snellejongen23 | i use firefox for both | 13:10 |
| snellejongen23 | no flash addons | 13:11 |
| snellejongen23 | the desktop with the intel graphi drivers also had pepper flash installed | 13:11 |
| snellejongen23 | because i wanted to improve youtube decoding | 13:12 |
| snellejongen23 | i find it strange that the laptop with no intel graphics drivers, no pepepr flash install | 13:12 |
| snellejongen23 | runs it ok, and desktop with drivers, choppy flash , drivers + pepper flash, still choppy | 13:13 |
| snellejongen23 | for being clear, the desktop from the fresh lubuntu install has had no good youtube playback | 13:14 |
| snellejongen23 | both are newly installed | 13:14 |
| snellejongen23 | lubuntu | 13:14 |
| snellejongen23 | so my conslusion is : the laptop with no drivers, has no gpu playback, therefore relies on the cpu, | 13:18 |
| snellejongen23 | the desktop with drivers, tries to rely on the gpu but can't , therefor choppy playback | 13:18 |
| snellejongen23 | ?? | 13:19 |
| hateball | I dont use firefox myself so I dont know if it tries to use hardware acceleration | 13:22 |
| hateball | if it does, perhaps there is a switch to turn off to force it to use cpu only | 13:23 |
| hateball | for tests sake | 13:23 |
| snellejongen23 | you can in flash disable hardware acceleration | 13:23 |
| snellejongen23 | uncheck it | 13:23 |
| snellejongen23 | i'm going to test that now in firefox with flash on the desktop, uncheck the hardware acc. and check youtube | 13:25 |
| snellejongen23 | one moment | 13:25 |
| hateball | well, make sure it's actually using flash and not html5 also... | 13:26 |
| snellejongen23 | yeah i right it to see if i see if it's using flash | 13:26 |
| hateball | :) | 13:26 |
| snellejongen23 | *right click | 13:26 |
| snellejongen23 | awful playback :D | 13:29 |
| snellejongen23 | blocky and everything | 13:30 |
| snellejongen23 | i'm beginning to suspect gpu drivers | 13:30 |
| snellejongen23 | audio is ok tho | 13:30 |
| snellejongen23 | i think my best bet is to just copy the laptop conditions and check from there | 13:35 |
| snellejongen23 | remove intel graphics drivers, flash and chrome | 13:35 |
| snellejongen23 | because if someone with a pentium 3 700 mhz and integrated graphics can watch youtube | 13:44 |
| snellejongen23 | surely i can | 13:45 |
| snellejongen23 | ive been making some progress | 15:00 |
| snellejongen23 | uninstalled graphics drivers, and now i'm getting video in minitube | 15:00 |
| snellejongen23 | and smooth playback | 15:00 |
| snellejongen23 | in it | 15:00 |
| snellejongen23 | so at least i can watch something | 15:00 |
| snellejongen23 | thank you all mighty linus | 15:16 |
| belal122 | hi | 17:07 |
| belal122 | I wonder if anyone has a fix for this: Everytime I boot into Lubuntu, right after the nvidia splash screen, I get a black screen with dots on the top part of my screen. I can see the mouse, but no desktop | 17:07 |
| belal122 | I have to press alt + ctrl + f7, to get to tty7 and then I'm able to log on with userID n password | 17:08 |
| snellejongen23 | have you reinstalled the nvidia drivers? | 17:08 |
| snellejongen23 | with the nvidia current | 17:08 |
| belal122 | it's a fresh install with the updated drivers | 17:08 |
| snellejongen23 | then i don't know | 17:09 |
| belal122 | :( it's annoying as hell. I wonder if there's a way to have it automatically go to TTY7 upon boot? | 17:09 |
| wxl | no clue either, belal122, but you might want to check your logs, especially /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 17:12 |
| snellejongen23 | if you could paste it in pastebin for us to see | 17:15 |
| belal122 | that pc is not connected to internet. :( | 17:19 |
| belal122 | I was trying to use it as a gaming pc for emulators. | 17:20 |
| wxl | is that relevant? | 17:20 |
| belal122 | no i meant, i couldnt paste it into pastebin | 17:20 |
| belal122 | because it has no net connection | 17:20 |
| wxl | that's what usb's are for :) | 17:20 |
| belal122 | lol...smart | 17:20 |
| belal122 | brb then | 17:20 |
| snellejongen23 | lol | 17:21 |
| snellejongen23 | and alto it isn't connected , i do recommed getting the latest packages because of bugfixes | 17:21 |
| === mugebjgd is now known as gebjgd | ||
| belal122 | http://pastebin.com/jB5xYaUF | 17:27 |
| belal122 | that's the xorg.0.log , do u also want xorg.1.log? | 17:27 |
| wxl | belal122: it's an older loger | 17:34 |
| wxl | s/er// | 17:34 |
| wxl | :/ | 17:34 |
| wxl | anyways nice xbox 360 wireless receiver :) | 17:35 |
| wxl | so which nvidia driver is this? | 17:36 |
| snellejongen23 | 304.125 | 17:38 |
| snellejongen23 | NVIDIA GLX Module 304.125 Mon Dec 1 20:21:57 PST 2014 | 17:38 |
| snellejongen23 | as stated in the log | 17:39 |
| wxl | not a nvidia whiz here but is that the appropriate one? | 17:40 |
| wxl | i especially have no clue about proprietary drivers | 17:40 |
| belal122 | thanks. Yeah the system is old: AMD64 Chip with nvidia 6150SE graphics, but couple that with the wireless 360 reciever, and it plays sega genesis games like a charm. | 17:40 |
| belal122 | I don't remember, but I had it installed some time ago and I remember getting the latest one at the time. | 17:41 |
| belal122 | just a few months ago | 17:41 |
| wxl | well you can figure it out with lspci | 17:42 |
| belal122 | that will tell me the nvidia version? | 17:42 |
| wxl | lspci -nnk | grep -iA 3 vga | grep driver | 17:42 |
| snellejongen23 | you can always try to reinstall the xserver-zorg | 17:43 |
| snellejongen23 | sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg | 17:43 |
| snellejongen23 | because right now i'm trouble shooting my intel graphics | 17:44 |
| wxl | my guess is that you're NOT using nouveau | 17:45 |
| wxl | as that version seems to match the latest version for that series on nvidia's site http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 17:45 |
| wxl | more specifically http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80133/en-us | 17:46 |
| wxl | seems that there are such drivers are also provided in our own repos https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-update | 17:47 |
| wxl | it seems that a bug similar to yours is awaiting a fix in those drivers https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1365695 | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1365695 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu Trusty) "No longer able to use GUI after update" [Critical,Triaged] | 17:48 |
| wxl | looks like nouveau has no such problems | 17:48 |
| wxl | to answer your question, belal122, click the button next to This bug affects 55 people. Does this bug affect you? Edit | 17:49 |
| wxl | also make sure to subscribe yourself to the bug | 17:50 |
| wxl | you'll get the update when it's finally fixed | 17:50 |
| wxl | but ultimately you're waiting on upstream (nvidia) | 17:50 |
| wxl | which is to say you may be waiting a good long time :) | 17:50 |
| snellejongen23 | maybe you can search for a way you get into tty7 automaticly | 17:59 |
| belal122 | yeah, i have the same problem! | 18:00 |
| belal122 | by the way, i figured out one thing: by purging the nvidia driver out, I can boot into lubuntu just fine with the free driver. but trying to open Kega (the emulator), crashes the system. I'm going to try to re-install the drivers and see if I get any result | 18:01 |
| snellejongen23 | i think purging is not the safest option | 18:05 |
| snellejongen23 | can anyone confirm? | 18:06 |
| wxl | won't hurt | 18:06 |
| snellejongen23 | especially dealing with drivers , you want to use the safest method possible | 18:06 |
| wxl | at least for that, because noveau is there by default | 18:07 |

| nonyab | an adaptor | 18:16 |
| wxl | nonyab: this may sound laughable, but try the original usb cord and/or different usb ports. | 18:18 |
| nonyab | I have they all work the same but if i boot up live ubuntu it all works i like Lxle everything elese works even wireless | 18:21 |
| wxl | nonyab: you have lxle? | 18:22 |
| nonyab | yes | 18:22 |
| wxl | nonyab: then i would suggest support at #lxle | 18:23 |
| nonyab | There is none | 18:23 |

| nonyab | yet they have on thier web site | 18:23 |
| wxl | there *IS* one | 18:23 |
| wxl | not many people there, admittedly | 18:23 |
| wxl | i would suggest other avenues of support other than those related to lubuntu as it has been said time and time again that lxle is not lubuntu | 18:24 |
| wxl | if they are going to provide the distro, they should provide support. otherwise, i'm not sure i see the value in it. | 18:24 |
| nonyab | Free Live Help: Lubuntu IRC, LXLE IRC, Screencasts | 18:25 |
| wxl | that's their assertion, not ours | 18:25 |
| belal122 | SUCCESS!! | 18:27 |
| belal122 | i found the solution! | 18:27 |
| wxl | what 'twas? | 18:27 |
| nonyab | oh well so much for finding a distro that provides everything I tried lubuntu and almost every othe distro and they all provide one thing or the other but wireless | 18:27 |
| belal122 | ok, so the last thing i did was purge "nvidia *" , then i went to ubuntuupdates.org and downloaded nvidia-346 i386 package...installed that and voila! | 18:28 |
| wxl | nonyab: i have never had a device with wireless that didn't work in lubuntu | 18:28 |
| belal122 | when i rebooted, it worked | 18:28 |
| wxl | great belal122 | 18:28 |
| belal122 | thankx wxl! | 18:28 |
| belal122 | nonyab... lubuntu works. probably nm-applet didn't load? | 18:28 |
| belal122 | i had the same problem when I borrowed a wifi dongle some months ago | 18:28 |
| belal122 | i inserted the wifi usb stick and i didn't get anything. turns out, u have to go to the start up manager, and load "nm-applet" to start by default | 18:29 |
| belal122 | once u do that...it will always boot up lubuntu with the network/wifi manager, so u can connect to net | 18:29 |
| belal122 | automatically | 18:29 |
| nonyab | My wireless is a bcw4311 | 18:29 |
| wxl | !broadcom | nonyab | 18:30 |
| ubottu | nonyab: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 18:30 |
| nonyab | I know | 18:30 |
| wxl | nonyab: …and? | 18:31 |
| snellejongen23 | i think i solved my intel extreme graphics problem | 18:31 |
| snellejongen23 | i installed all graphics drivers i don't need, ati radeon, matrox etc | 18:31 |
| snellejongen23 | vmware stuff, even tho i am not using vmware | 18:31 |
| nonyab | I have used it but lxle is so fast on load up and easy to do eye candy like to customize from boot up to shutdown | 18:31 |
| wxl | nonyab: then why don't you figure out what customizations are needed to make it like that in lubuntu? | 18:32 |
| snellejongen23 | i mean i uninstalled lol | 18:32 |
| belal122 | new question: is there anyway to boot up ubuntu/lubuntu without having it ask for userID/password? i checked "never ask for password" in the users and group | 18:32 |
| wxl | right makes sense nonyab | 18:32 |
| snellejongen23 | belal yes automatic login | 18:32 |
| wxl | belal122: yeah, lightdm settings, which were, last time i checked, relatively undocumented (an ubuntu problem, not lubuntu) | 18:33 |
| wxl | sorry i meant makes sense snellejongen23 :) | 18:33 |
| wxl | !lightdm | belal122 | 18:33 |
| nonyab | just let me think about that i think last time i did live lubuntu no wireless | 18:33 |
| wxl | oops | 18:33 |
| wxl | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM | 18:33 |
| wxl | nonyab: broadcom stuff doesn't install by default. blame broadcom. | 18:33 |
| belal122 | thanks! gonna look it up now | 18:34 |
| snellejongen23 | for broadcom issues ---> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 18:35 |
| snellejongen23 | second answer | 18:35 |
| snellejongen23 | also fixed my wireless today with dropouts | 18:36 |
| snellejongen23 | realtek chipset | 18:36 |
| snellejongen23 | first diables dnsmaq | 18:36 |
| snellejongen23 | disabled | 18:36 |
| snellejongen23 | and compiled a new driver, now no more issues | 18:37 |
| snellejongen23 | been working all day to get lubuntu working xD | 18:40 |
| snellejongen23 | so graphics working.check..wireless no more dropouts | 18:43 |
| snellejongen23 | only thing now is when i enable automatic connecting to wireless in networkmanager | 18:43 |
| belal122 | success number 2!!! this worked, number 8: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm | 18:43 |
| wxl | yay | 18:43 |
| snellejongen23 | i need to enter my password after login... | 18:43 |
