GeekDudeThe monitor cable came loose for a second and now the screen won't come back on. Switching to another terminal (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-6) works though02:36
GeekDudealso, x11vnc is still working fine02:36
kulelu88GeekDude: you need to get into "Display" and activate it again02:37
* GeekDude checks "configure new displays when connected" box 02:38
kulelu88no not configure02:40
kulelu88the display is just not "ticked"02:40
GeekDudeI think I might try rebooting02:47
GeekDudeI can't get 'Display' to make anything work, and switching terminals isn't working anymore02:48
GeekDudebrb02:48
GeekDudeWell, rebooting worked03:05
GeekDudebut it still breaks if I hotplug the vga03:06
zombienerdif/when you are stuck in a terminal, just sudo service restart lightdm03:17
zombienerdthat will reboot the GUI03:18
zombienerdmight be sudo service lightdm restart03:18
zombienerdbeen a while03:18
GeekDudehmm03:21
GeekDudeI'll try that next time03:21
nikolamwhy it takes a least one minute to start "run command" (application finder as it says) with Alt+F2 ? (Xubuntu 14.04 LTS 32 bit)03:55
holsteinnikolam: not sure.. do you have any ideas? are you running compositing? have you tested the hardware? when did you install? has it *always* been that way?03:56
holsteini had one machine that took that long for atl+f2, and the graphics driver addressed the issue.. another one that behaved similarly ended up having a failing hard drive03:58
nikolamI remember that bug from some time ago, not sure if it was in 12.04. I use Nvidia proprietary driver, that is tested, came with Ubuntu, installed from packages. It IS selected "use display compositor" in settings.04:01
holsteinnikolam: it was not a bug for me04:02
nikolamI have BTRFS so I guess that rules out disk, as it does checksums04:02
holsteinnikolam: ? *all* drives fail04:03
holsteinanyways.. is that literally the only thing wrong?04:03
nikolamAfter invoking it with Alt+F2 for the first time, further invokings are fast. Only first one is slow04:03
nikolamholstein, what? yes, that what I am reporting now.04:05
nikolamIt is interesting aptitude is saying it has some packages to upgrade, but software updater GUI does not gives anything yet: The following packages will be upgraded:04:06
nikolam  gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-common gvfs-daemons gvfs-fuse gvfs-libs libnautilus-extension1a nautilus nautilus-data04:06
holsteinthey should see the same packages from the same sources.. i would use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and report it as a bug, if you find they are different in the future, and your cache is updated..04:08
nikolamAlso XChat failed to contact freenode on default settings, I needed to copy settings from hexchat04:08
nikolamyeah, I usually do aptitude update and aptitude upgrade to check if I am not at console. But I rely on GUI software updater for updates. I was thinking, like there must be a reason GUI updater is holding them back...04:09
holsteinnikolam: *if* your cache is updated, *all* the package managers on your system should see the same thing04:10
holsteinnikolam: i would start there, and update, in the GUI.. you can close the terminal and the other package managers, press "update" or "reload" or whatever refreshes the cache, and see that there are no errors04:11
nikolamok, will see to check that later, if there's room for bug report04:11
holstein!bug04:11
ubottuIf you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.04:11
holsteinthough, it wont be a bug, if you just dont have the cache updated, look at the GUI list,*then* update in the terminal, and have newer packages..04:12
nikolamI've done aptitude update and reload in synaptic, synaptic also saying it can mark newer packages.04:16
nikolamso it must be something in software updater.04:18
holsteinim not following04:23
holsteinlooks like, synaptic isnt finding any new packages, since you applied the update04:23
nikolamsynaptic is finding them. And aptitude finds them. Software updater GUI does not finds them.04:26
nikolamLike it was few days ago, too, I have seen there are updates, but there were soe time, before software updater offered them04:27
holsteini wouldnt know, personally, since, i disable all auto updating, and do it in the terminal with apt..04:27
nikolamaha ok. well I update manually, too, just let it display them when they come.04:29
holsteinif you think you have a bug, file it, or join one that already exists.. i dont find one in my searches04:30
nikolamok then.04:30
holsteinthere are no different sources04:30
pragomerhello. trying to solve the problem since month since I switched from ubuntu 14.04 to xubuntu 14.04:  only have english keyboard. I can switch to another keyboard variant.. this works for "normal" inputs.. but light locker and login are still english keyboard. noone can fix this.. also happens in a fresh installation (you can try..)04:54
pragomeranyone could help me04:54
baizonpragomer: have you tried the display-setup-script option? See here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11580876/05:10
baizoni forgot, the file is: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf05:11
nikolambaizon, what's the point, one needs to edit text file in /etc to get other characters on login/screensaver then english, and needs to do that for whatever single language is in use ?05:21
nikolamI think I can choose keyboard language on login just fine on Xubuntu 14.04.. pragomer05:24
nikolamI switched to xscreensaver and removed light-locker, because it has issues of not supporting screen saver and killing sound05:25
pragomernikolam: I will try now this script.. just a moment. But.. I installed 3times a normal xubuntu 14.04 in virtualbox.. and I choose a user-password that contains e.g. "-"05:28
pragomerand ONLY in login or lightlocker I have to use "?" (english/german)05:28
pragomerI have no /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf05:29
pragomerjust the folder lightdm.conf.d05:29
pragomerand inside 10-xubuntu.conf05:29
pragomernikolam: I now use your lines in 10-xubuntu.conf... now doing a reboot..05:30
baizonpragomer: then its that file05:32
pragomerhey nikolam.. this was the perfect solution.. I thank you so so much.   I really searching for long now for this solution.. you really made my day and weekend :-)05:33
nikolamneither I have lightdm.conf I just instaleld xscreensaver. And after adding language support in Xfce, I ended up with multiple languages in login05:33
nikolampragomer, well, feel free to contribute to make light-locker better.. :P05:34
baizonnikolam: light-locker is the default screen saver for 14.0405:34
nikolamyeah and it sucks :P05:34
baizonnot for me :)05:34
nikolamyou haven't had se_ix with your girfriend when it cut your music lately, haven't you? baizon :P05:35
baizonok05:36
pragomerhave a good day u205:36
nikolamok pragomer05:36
pragomerbye05:36
nikolamWonder if I could left gnome-screensaver installed if I use xscreensaver.. I found that ubuntu buttons for login stops working after gnome-screensaver uninstall, as per http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/install-xscreensaver-ubuntu-14-04/  but xfce buttons for logoff works (but there is no switch user button anymore)05:40

vinnyI was wondering whether someone here could help me with issues I'm having upgrading 14.04 -> 14.10 xubuntu?20:42
vinnyI was wondering whether someone here could help me with issues I'm having upgrading 14.04 -> 14.10 xubuntu?20:49
brainwashvinny: you won't know until you describe the actual problem20:52
vinnyI get an error saying it is unable to install and to refer to apt.log...20:53
vinnyof the messages within, one is ...20:53
vinnylibgl1-mesa-dev:amd64 Depends on libgl1-mesa-glx [ amd64 ] < 10.7~git1506050730.cb277c~gd~t > ( libs ) (= 10.3.2-0ubuntu0.1) can't be satisfied!20:53
vinnylibgl1-mesa-glx is installed20:54
brainwashmost likely triggered by a package which has been installed from a PPA20:54
vinnyis there any way of resolving this?20:56
brainwashdowngrade it to the version from the official repo20:56
vinnyhow would I do this?20:57
brainwash!ppa-purge20:57
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html20:57
brainwashanother solution is do a clean install of 15.04 (14.10 will reach end of support soon anyway)20:59
vinnythanks for that brainwash/ubottu!21:01
