| Toaster_ | Need some help installing Xubuntu. I chose the erase disk and install option and made sure my hard drive was the one being installed to. It finished and after it restarted I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I even did the install again and same thing. | 03:57 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | !nomodeset | 03:57 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:57 |
| holstein | Toaster_: that would be my first step.. if the live iso ran the desktop fine, i would make sure im *not* installing updates when i do the OS installation.. | 03:57 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: I chose not to install updates or 3rd party plugins | 03:59 |
| Toaster_ | ubottu: Sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Where would I type in anything if I can't get to any screen or terminal? | 04:00 |
| ubottu | Toaster_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:00 |
| Toaster_ | aw damn | 04:00 |
| holstein | Toaster_: you would do that from the grub screen | 04:01 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: I don't have a grub screen. It's just a blinking cursor | 04:01 |
| holstein | Toaster_: correct. i understand ...but, at boot, *right* after the bios screens, you should be able to tap shift, and unhide the grub menu, and then, edit it, and add that nomodeset option | 04:02 |
| holstein | its not a "fix", but, more of a troubleshooting step, to see if the graphics are the issue | 04:02 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: Nothing happens when I try that. Right after the bios loading screen it starts blinking. Nothing appears before it | 04:03 |
| holstein | Toaster_: ok | 04:03 |
| Toaster_ | I've installed other distros on it before including Ubuntu without issues | 04:04 |
| holstein | Toaster_: what would i do? test my hardware, and i would try the live desktop,and report here if it works or not | 04:04 |
| holstein | Toaster_: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. so, you may be comparing older kernels, rather than ubuntu vs xubuntu | 04:04 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: I already know the live desktop from the usb stick works | 04:04 |
| holstein | Toaster_: ok.. then, i would test my hard drive, and make sure its "ok".. | 04:04 |
| Toaster_ | I consider it Ubuntu but with xfce | 04:05 |
| holstein | you can consider it that, but, the take-away for you is, the driver support, and hardware support is likely identical | 04:05 |
| holstein | the same kernels, and firmware *if* you are comparing, say, 14.04 ubuntu to 14.04 xubuntu.. rather than, 14.04 ubuntu with 15.04 xubuntu | 04:06 |
| Toaster_ | bios recognizes the hard drive | 04:06 |
| Toaster_ | It's an SSD actually | 04:07 |
| holstein | yup, and if that were a test of integrity, that would be great.. but, its not | 04:07 |
| holstein | and, im not saying the hard drive is bad,. im just saying, if the live iso boots the live desktop, and your installed system doesnt boot, thats a varable.. the hard drive is not a factor with the live iso | 04:08 |
| Toaster_ | I know | 04:08 |
| holstein | can you get to tty? | 04:08 |
| holstein | !tty | 04:08 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 04:08 |
| Toaster_ | Nothing happens. The computer beeps when I press a key if i do that | 04:10 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: I chose the option to check the disk for defects on the live | 04:14 |
| holstein | thats cool, but, you are checking the live USB, which, you already installed from, and tested live.. its not a bad step, though | 04:14 |
| Toaster_ | Well then if the live version had 1 file error, would that mean the iso is bad? | 04:15 |
| holstein | !md5 | 04:15 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:15 |
| holstein | that would tell you if your download of the iso is "bad" | 04:15 |
| holstein | Toaster_: what iso? 15.04? | 04:15 |
| Toaster_ | 15.04 32 bit. I will check md5 | 04:16 |
| holstein | Toaster_:you can also try the mini iso, and add xubuntu do it.. after install | 04:16 |
| holstein | !mini | 04:16 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:16 |
| holstein | they are small iso's.. if you are having issues with the iso download.. | 04:16 |
| bynarie | on the kernel download list, each kernel has a name with it (ex. 3.17.1-utopic).. is the name associated with the kernel mean its valid for that version? | 04:18 |
| bynarie | ive been told different things about this | 04:18 |
| xangua | the kernel download list¿ | 04:21 |
| holstein | the OS ships with a kernel, and the kernel is maintained for the period of support, as promised | 04:22 |
| holstein | the updates just come in | 04:22 |
| bynarie | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ - this list | 04:23 |
| bynarie | oh shit i just realized those are mainline builds | 04:24 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: Either I did it wrong or the iso is corrupt. http://gyazo.com/890b5545e61968649925843373006e08 | 04:24 |
| cfhowlett | Toaster_, easy to test the .iso with md5sum ... | 04:25 |
| Toaster_ | holstein: The md5sum on the downloaded iso was fine. I redid the live usb and after a restart it works fine. Something must have went wrong while creating it before. | 04:51 |
| holstein | Toaster_: cheers.. | 04:54 |
| m0r0n | Can someone help me install the LAMP stack? I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP . Upon running install lamp-server I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/11738761/ | 05:24 |
| nomic | z.z.z.z..z | 05:30 |
| * nomic finds lighttpd easier to deal with | 05:30 | |
| nomic | apache is very large | 05:30 |
| m0r0n | Yeah? | 05:30 |
| nomic | lighttpd minimal | 05:30 |
| nomic | yeah | 05:30 |
| nomic | what I go through to get the php/webserver | 05:30 |
| nomic | is 1. | 05:31 |
| nomic | install lighttpd | 05:31 |
| nomic | nice easy instaall | 05:31 |
| nomic | 2. | 05:31 |
| nomic | this | 05:31 |
| nomic | will fetch | 05:31 |
| nomic | http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-php-fastcgi-configuration.html | 05:31 |
| nomic | install php5-cgi php5-cli .. lighttpd | 05:32 |
| nomic | make up the fastcgi (link) .. test your php hello world thru the web server | 05:32 |
| nomic | https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-llmp-stack-linux-lighttpd-mysql-and-php-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 05:33 |
| nomic | stuff is easier with lighttpd | 05:33 |
| nomic | as I said I just install lighttpd php5-cgi php5-cli <- packages installed by sudo apt-get install | 05:33 |
| nomic | /var/www contains php scripts | 05:33 |
| m0r0n | I opened up the digital open first and saw it was 'easier', do you know if this config is good enough? | 05:33 |
| nomic | test them through cgi | 05:33 |
| m0r0n | Okay | 05:33 |
| nomic | https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-llmp-stack-linux-lighttpd-mysql-and-php-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 05:34 |
| nomic | that guide is good | 05:34 |
| nomic | apache = bloat .. lighttpd is as widely used (now) .. is used majorly .. is just as good ... is less complex | 05:34 |
| nomic | IMO works better with (here xubuntu) | 05:35 |
| nomic | there is python link to lighttpd .. | 05:35 |
| nomic | never installed it .. it was simple enough to get sockets working on php lighttpd -> socket -> whatever | 05:36 |
| nomic | @ the very least for comms | 05:36 |
| nomic | lighttpd is newer ... i would say that apache .. is something that people are forced by tradition to be using .. its "established" .. doesn't mean that it's particularly svelte .. it's like eclipse | 05:37 |
| m0r0n | You don't like eclipse? | 05:38 |
| m0r0n | What do you use in substitution? | 05:38 |
| nomic | nano /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf all you have to change to get cgi working with php .. mod_fastcgi: in server.modules = ( (section) http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/lighttpd-php-fastcgi-configuration.html <- I mainly used that guide | 05:39 |
| nomic | fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => (( | 05:39 |
| nomic | "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi", | 05:39 |
| nomic | "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket" | 05:39 |
| nomic | ))) | 05:39 |
| nomic | the link (all this in /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf) | 05:40 |
| nomic | so you install 3 packages lighttpd php5-cli php5-cgi .. set up that | 05:40 |
| nomic | then you should have a <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> | 05:41 |
| nomic | in html | 05:41 |
| nomic | or the php hello world in /var/www (web public) .. avail thru cgi .. if lighttpd is up, it will display a status page showing everything is active | 05:41 |
| nomic | yeah thats the | 05:41 |
| nomic | default installation index.html | 05:41 |
| nomic | easy (relative to apache) | 05:41 |
| nomic | apaches for large organisations | 05:42 |
| nomic | like eclipse = for large projects | 05:42 |
| nomic | so you have to configure this massive tool, to get "hello world" working | 05:42 |
| nomic | or you THROW YOUR COMPUTER OUT OF THE WINDOW (smash) | 05:42 |
| nomic | screams | 05:42 |
| nomic | http://ubuntuforums.org/ <- site that with account, you can leave messages on overnight (or search for answers) .. this (here) .. wont' be attended much (certainly not as much as #ubuntu) .. the forums is very busy | 05:43 |
| nomic | efficient way to do it .. phrase your question .. file it into the forums in the correct place (networking, gui, internet (sub headings)) .. go to bed .. and you will if you asked nicely have answers | 05:44 |
| nomic | be sure to mark threads as SOLVED if a solution is reached | 05:44 |
| nomic | most simple things (like that, web server set up), have been solved by now .. just look around (forum search) | 05:45 |
| m0r0n | http://pastebin.com/JJw19nGJ | 05:47 |
| nomic | looks ok | 05:48 |
| m0r0n | I get this error when running /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart " Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config (we may not accept such configs in future releases " | 05:48 |
| nomic | http://redmine.lighttpd.net/boards/2/topics/5026 Cannot load plugin mod_fastcgi more than once, please fix your config | 05:49 |
| m0r0n | Commenting it out worked | 05:49 |
| nomic | i've never seen it | 05:49 |
| nomic | ok | 05:49 |
| m0r0n | Yeah just read it | 05:49 |
| m0r0n | What would be a reason for the server to start and immediately stop? | 05:51 |
| nomic | it stops? | 05:51 |
| m0r0n | by trying to run it with "/etc/init.d/lighttpd start" | 05:51 |
| nomic | server has messages somewhere - a log | 05:51 |
| nomic | show output | 05:51 |
| nomic | pastebin | 05:51 |
| m0r0n | on it | 05:51 |
| william_ | hello | 05:52 |
| m0r0n | How do I check if I'm running the "FastCGI-enabled" version of FastCGI | 05:55 |
| nomic | you run a php script as web page | 05:57 |
| nomic | check if you php is working | 05:57 |
| m0r0n | http://pastebin.com/pRTth7ni | 05:57 |
| nomic | did you "sudo apt-get install php5-cgi" ? | 05:58 |
| nomic | is php5-cgi running | 05:58 |
| nomic | avail from command line | 05:58 |
| nomic | 2015-06-19 01:54:42: (mod_fastcgi.c.1103) the fastcgi-backend /usr/bin/php-cgi failed to start: | 05:59 |
| nomic | simple enough you php-cgi isn't there | 05:59 |
| m0r0n | You were right about me not having install ppg5-cgi | 06:01 |
| nomic | told ya - a lot earlier (the stages) | 06:02 |
| m0r0n | Do I need to be running the server as sudo? | 06:04 |
| m0r0n | I can only run it as sudo to avoid a permissions error on var/run/lighttpd.pid | 06:05 |
| m0r0n | but when I try to launch the server, it shuts down as before, but it doesn't produce anything in the logfile | 06:06 |
| nomic | no | 06:06 |
| nomic | not as sudo | 06:06 |
| nomic | install as sudo | 06:06 |
| m0r0n | My config files were also locked to sudo | 06:07 |
| nomic | there are always permission problems (before anything else) | 06:07 |
| nomic | secure system | 06:07 |
| nomic | learn to chmod | 06:07 |
| m0r0n | (server.c.710) opening pid-file failed: /var/run/lighttpd.pid Permission denied | 06:07 |
| m0r0n | Okay | 06:07 |
| m0r0n | I didn't know what I should chmod for and what I should just run as sudo to stay safe | 06:08 |
| nomic | but .. for a temporary work-around - you can always run things as root .. but that gives a package (and in this case, the outside world) complete access to everything | 06:08 |
| nomic | sudo being the thing that shuts down the security (global access) | 06:08 |
| nomic | when you start playing around with scripts .. you must know what permissions they have | 06:09 |
| nomic | sudo is never "safe" | 06:09 |
| nomic | sudo is root | 06:09 |
| m0r0n | Arghhhh | 06:18 |
| m0r0n | ) opening errorlog '/var/log/lighttpd/error.log' failed: Permission denied | 06:18 |
| m0r0n | Why would that happen if I put 777 on that log | 06:18 |
| m0r0n | I think it was the folder, it now works. New errors though | 06:19 |

| superprower | Hi. I bought a keyboard with 4 multimedia buttons: play/pause, sond-, sound+ and mute. Sound buttons works fine, but play/pause works only when media app is focused. Can i make it to work always and anywhere? I am using VLC player, xubuntu 15.04. | 09:36 |
| BuddyButterfly | hi | 10:44 |
| BuddyButterfly | I missed the question for different language when installing 15.04 | 10:44 |
| BuddyButterfly | something special? | 10:44 |
| BuddyButterfly | I was able to select timezone and keyboard language but not system language to install. | 10:45 |
| BuddyButterfly | any hint? | 10:46 |
| BuddyButterfly | did I overlook something? | 10:49 |
| BuddyButterfly | ok, funny. xubuntu 15.04 does not start in virtualbox. | 11:24 |
| BuddyButterfly | 14.04 worked flawlessly! | 11:24 |
| xubuntu717 | my installation of xubuntu is now 1 hour, is it normal? | 11:43 |

| KhrysTLords | Hello im in need of support on installing touchscreen functions in a Olivetti Explor@200xs on Xubuntu and was unable to get it working | 11:53 |
| BuddyButterfly | I think I found the problem why xubuntu does not start on virtualbox | 12:08 |
| BuddyButterfly | Reason: With fulldisk encryption there is nowadays (starting from 15.04) a separate password request for cryptswap1 which is NOT displayed. Xubuntu therefore stays in boot screen waiting for password. | 12:10 |
| koegs | i dont think so | 12:14 |
| koegs | recently installed xubuntu 15.04 AMD64 with FDE and i only need to enter the password once | 12:14 |
| BuddyButterfly | nope, just tested it. | 12:18 |
| BuddyButterfly | same with kubuntu | 12:18 |
| BuddyButterfly | even updating the system brings multiple requests for the password! | 12:18 |
| BuddyButterfly | xubuntu--vg-swap-1 | 12:18 |
| koegs | hm, interesting my installation just two days ago does not have such a problem | 12:19 |
| BuddyButterfly | sry, it is: xubuntu--vg-swap_1 | 12:19 |
| BuddyButterfly | I just ran the update and got asked 4-5 times..... | 12:19 |
| bigba | hi all | 12:19 |
| BuddyButterfly | maybe there are fixed install medias out there? | 12:19 |
| BuddyButterfly | mine is a couple of weeks old now.... | 12:20 |
| BuddyButterfly | will try with a fresh download. | 12:20 |
| bigba | I'm looking for help with notofyd. Anyone down to lend a hand? | 12:20 |
| BuddyButterfly | exact message: Please enter passphrase for disk xubuntu--vg-swap_1 (cryptswap1) on none! | 12:20 |
| bigba | Ok, I'll write my problem anyway. Maybe someone can recognize a familiar situation: | 12:28 |
| bigba | My brightness notification is shrinked to a small panel without any content except for something that looks like a pipe (|). | 12:28 |
| bigba | others notifications and volume notification too work just fine | 12:28 |
| bigba | if I log in as guest the brightness notification also works fine | 12:29 |
| bigba | I'm using nvidia driver and everything worked fine until yesterday. | 12:30 |
| bigba | I think the problem started when I installed light locker settings | 12:30 |
| bigba | but purging it won't fix my problem | 12:30 |
| bigba | Please if someone has any idea of what I can try, point me to it. | 12:31 |
| xubuntu717 | hi, my installation of xubuntu takes 1,5 hour on new laptop, is it normal? | 12:52 |

| pigeon- | Hi... I help a friend to install xubuntu. Everything work ok, except for his printer. It will not print. In the setting we can clearly see that his brother-printer is installed. When he press on the command to print, the printer makes son sound as it it is trying to comply with the print-command, however it does NOT work. Any suggestions? | 13:14 |

| BuddyButterfly | still have problems catching the corners for window resize. | 14:02 |
| BuddyButterfly | is very very tricky. | 14:02 |
| BuddyButterfly | every window should have a small area in the corner for resizing like filemanager. | 14:02 |
| BuddyButterfly | also areas for catching mousepointer for edges are way too small. | 14:04 |
| koegs | BuddyButterfly: just use ALT + Left or Right-Click | 14:15 |
| pigeon- | When my friend was using windows, he had created a network for his three pc to use the printer. So I wonder it it is the old window network that could be now interfering with the printer functions? | 14:17 |
| BuddyButterfly | koegs: will try. | 14:21 |
| BuddyButterfly | koegs: hehe, catches my virtualbox windows instead ;-) | 14:21 |
| BuddyButterfly | this areas should really be increased a bit. | 14:22 |
| BuddyButterfly | or, at least for the corner resize. | 14:22 |
