[00:59] 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 [01:03] sparky: ouch [01:03] 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 [01:04] otherwise, what file isnt "parsing? [01:04] sparky: Pastebin? [01:06] yea just a sec [01:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11401877/ [01:07] Welp. Not seen that before. [01:08] I'd hesitate to blindly tell you to delete that file and try again, however it does appear corrupt. [01:09] hm, ok... i guess ill do that [01:12] seems to be finishing the installation, thanks for the suggestion. should've tried that :P [01:13] Heh, I'd have hesitated too. [01:48] works great. thanks again, :) [01:56] Sure thing, glad to help. [10:01] hello everyone === christine is now known as Guest19263 [10:02] i have a issue with my battery indicator icon not showing on system tray anyone know what could be happening ? [13:00] hey guys [13:01] i'm having an odd problem, i have 2 pc's both the same intel extreme graphics [13:01] the first is a laptop with lubuntu, the second a desktop celeron with lubuntu [13:01] the laptop has no intel graphics drivers installed and the desktop has intel graphics drivers for linux [13:02] the laptop runs youtube fine, the desktop runs it choppy [13:04] alptop: pentium centrino 1,4gzh 512 MB, desktop: 2.2 Ghz celeron 1GB Ram [13:06] could it be that it has nothing todo with the intel graphics, as the laptop has no graphics drivers installed? [13:06] and that the flash, movies run on the cpu as instead on the gpu for decoding [13:08] snellejongen23: Flash is CPU intensive yes [13:08] snellejongen23: What browser are you using to watch it in? [13:09] Firefox uses an old Adobe npapi flash, chromium/chrome uses a newer flash that might have better performance [13:09] snellejongen23: also you can go to youtube.com/html5 to make sure you're using that instead of flash [13:10] i use firefox for both [13:11] no flash addons [13:11] the desktop with the intel graphi drivers also had pepper flash installed [13:12] because i wanted to improve youtube decoding [13:12] i find it strange that the laptop with no intel graphics drivers, no pepepr flash install [13:13] runs it ok, and desktop with drivers, choppy flash , drivers + pepper flash, still choppy [13:14] for being clear, the desktop from the fresh lubuntu install has had no good youtube playback [13:14] both are newly installed [13:14] lubuntu [13:18] so my conslusion is : the laptop with no drivers, has no gpu playback, therefore relies on the cpu, [13:18] the desktop with drivers, tries to rely on the gpu but can't , therefor choppy playback [13:19] ?? [13:22] I dont use firefox myself so I dont know if it tries to use hardware acceleration [13:23] if it does, perhaps there is a switch to turn off to force it to use cpu only [13:23] for tests sake [13:23] you can in flash disable hardware acceleration [13:23] uncheck it [13:25] i'm going to test that now in firefox with flash on the desktop, uncheck the hardware acc. and check youtube [13:25] one moment [13:26] well, make sure it's actually using flash and not html5 also... [13:26] yeah i right it to see if i see if it's using flash [13:26] :) [13:26] *right click [13:29] awful playback :D [13:30] blocky and everything [13:30] i'm beginning to suspect gpu drivers [13:30] audio is ok tho [13:35] i think my best bet is to just copy the laptop conditions and check from there [13:35] remove intel graphics drivers, flash and chrome [13:44] because if someone with a pentium 3 700 mhz and integrated graphics can watch youtube [13:45] surely i can [15:00] ive been making some progress [15:00] uninstalled graphics drivers, and now i'm getting video in minitube [15:00] and smooth playback [15:00] in it [15:00] so at least i can watch something [15:16] thank you all mighty linus [17:07] hi [17:07] 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 [17:08] 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] have you reinstalled the nvidia drivers? [17:08] with the nvidia current [17:08] it's a fresh install with the updated drivers [17:09] then i don't know [17:09] :( it's annoying as hell. I wonder if there's a way to have it automatically go to TTY7 upon boot? [17:12] no clue either, belal122, but you might want to check your logs, especially /var/log/Xorg.0.log [17:15] if you could paste it in pastebin for us to see [17:19] that pc is not connected to internet. :( [17:20] I was trying to use it as a gaming pc for emulators. [17:20] is that relevant? [17:20] no i meant, i couldnt paste it into pastebin [17:20] because it has no net connection [17:20] that's what usb's are for :) [17:20] lol...smart [17:20] brb then [17:21] lol [17:21] and alto it isn't connected , i do recommed getting the latest packages because of bugfixes === mugebjgd is now known as gebjgd [17:27] http://pastebin.com/jB5xYaUF [17:27] that's the xorg.0.log , do u also want xorg.1.log? [17:34] belal122: it's an older loger [17:34] s/er// [17:34] :/ [17:35] anyways nice xbox 360 wireless receiver :) [17:36] so which nvidia driver is this? [17:38] 304.125 [17:38] NVIDIA GLX Module 304.125 Mon Dec 1 20:21:57 PST 2014 [17:39] as stated in the log [17:40] not a nvidia whiz here but is that the appropriate one? [17:40] i especially have no clue about proprietary drivers [17:40] 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. [17:41] I don't remember, but I had it installed some time ago and I remember getting the latest one at the time. [17:41] just a few months ago [17:42] well you can figure it out with lspci [17:42] that will tell me the nvidia version? [17:42] lspci -nnk | grep -iA 3 vga | grep driver [17:43] you can always try to reinstall the xserver-zorg [17:43] sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg [17:44] because right now i'm trouble shooting my intel graphics [17:45] my guess is that you're NOT using nouveau [17:45] as that version seems to match the latest version for that series on nvidia's site http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [17:46] more specifically http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/80133/en-us [17:47] seems that there are such drivers are also provided in our own repos https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-update [17:48] 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] Ubuntu bug 1365695 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu Trusty) "No longer able to use GUI after update" [Critical,Triaged] [17:48] looks like nouveau has no such problems [17:49] to answer your question, belal122, click the button next to This bug affects 55 people. Does this bug affect you? Edit [17:50] also make sure to subscribe yourself to the bug [17:50] you'll get the update when it's finally fixed [17:50] but ultimately you're waiting on upstream (nvidia) [17:50] which is to say you may be waiting a good long time :) [17:59] maybe you can search for a way you get into tty7 automaticly [18:00] yeah, i have the same problem! [18:01] 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 [18:05] i think purging is not the safest option [18:06] can anyone confirm? [18:06] won't hurt [18:06] especially dealing with drivers , you want to use the safest method possible [18:07] at least for that, because noveau is there by default [18:16] I am running Version-Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-83-generic (i686) [18:16] Compiled: #120-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 29 15:36:33 UTC 2015 [18:16] C Library: Unknown [18:16] Default C Compiler: GNU C Compiler version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) Distribution: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS :Desktop Environment: LXDE (Lubuntu) and it does not mount andriod sd card and so in file manager i have installed gmtp and all the other mtp tools yet all that comes up in file manager is the phone and tools for windows installer no sd card how can i make it do like ubuntu out of the box mount the sd card unless i take it out and put it in [18:16] an adaptor [18:18] nonyab: this may sound laughable, but try the original usb cord and/or different usb ports. [18:21] 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 [18:22] nonyab: you have lxle? [18:22] yes [18:23] nonyab: then i would suggest support at #lxle [18:23] There is none [18:23] 1123 [Users #lxle] [18:23] 1123 [@ChanServ] [ l33tSHIBE] [ Meetingb0t] [ wxl] [18:23] 1123 -!- Irssi: #lxle: Total of 4 nicks [1 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 3 normal] [18:23] 1123 -!- Channel #lxle created Mon Mar 25 05:32:10 2013 [18:23] yet they have on thier web site [18:23] there *IS* one [18:23] not many people there, admittedly [18:24] 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] if they are going to provide the distro, they should provide support. otherwise, i'm not sure i see the value in it. [18:25] Free Live Help: Lubuntu IRC, LXLE IRC, Screencasts [18:25] that's their assertion, not ours [18:27] SUCCESS!! [18:27] i found the solution! [18:27] what 'twas? [18:27] 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 [18:28] 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] nonyab: i have never had a device with wireless that didn't work in lubuntu [18:28] when i rebooted, it worked [18:28] great belal122 [18:28] thankx wxl! [18:28] nonyab... lubuntu works. probably nm-applet didn't load? [18:28] i had the same problem when I borrowed a wifi dongle some months ago [18:29] 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] once u do that...it will always boot up lubuntu with the network/wifi manager, so u can connect to net [18:29] automatically [18:29] My wireless is a bcw4311 [18:30] !broadcom | nonyab [18:30] nonyab: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [18:30] I know [18:31] nonyab: …and? [18:31] i think i solved my intel extreme graphics problem [18:31] i installed all graphics drivers i don't need, ati radeon, matrox etc [18:31] vmware stuff, even tho i am not using vmware [18:31] 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 [18:32] nonyab: then why don't you figure out what customizations are needed to make it like that in lubuntu? [18:32] i mean i uninstalled lol [18:32] 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] right makes sense nonyab [18:32] belal yes automatic login [18:33] belal122: yeah, lightdm settings, which were, last time i checked, relatively undocumented (an ubuntu problem, not lubuntu) [18:33] sorry i meant makes sense snellejongen23 :) [18:33] !lightdm | belal122 [18:33] just let me think about that i think last time i did live lubuntu no wireless [18:33] oops [18:33] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM [18:33] nonyab: broadcom stuff doesn't install by default. blame broadcom. [18:34] thanks! gonna look it up now [18:35] for broadcom issues ---> http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers [18:35] second answer [18:36] also fixed my wireless today with dropouts [18:36] realtek chipset [18:36] first diables dnsmaq [18:36] disabled [18:37] and compiled a new driver, now no more issues [18:40] been working all day to get lubuntu working xD [18:43] so graphics working.check..wireless no more dropouts [18:43] only thing now is when i enable automatic connecting to wireless in networkmanager [18:43] success number 2!!! this worked, number 8: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm [18:43] yay [18:43] i need to enter my password after login...
