| xubuntu22w | is anyone there? | 06:02 |
|---|---|---|
| cfhowlett | xubuntu22w, don't ask that question. ask your support question. | 06:02 |
| xubuntu22w | I have 15.04 running on a laptop. For the most part things work well, but I've continually been struggling with a black screen after logging in, unlocking the screen saver or switching users. I was able to fix the problem for a while but now it is back with a vengence. Any suggestions on how to correct this problme? | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu22w, screensaver? xubuntu recommends removal of screensaver. | 06:05 |
| xubuntu22w | When this happens I have to do a hard reboot, Ctrl+Alt+F1 2 3 4 what ever doesn't help | 06:05 |
| xubuntu22w | there is no screen saver, whatever is there by default | 06:06 |
| xubuntu22w | when the screen locks it goes black | 06:06 |
| xubuntu22w | when I hit a key I get a login prompt, after logging in it goes black again, more than 50% of the time | 06:06 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu22w, dpgk -l | grep xscreensaver xscreensaver is known to conflict with lightlocker | 06:06 |
| xubuntu22w | I assume you ment dpkg, there is no screen saver retruned from that command | 06:08 |
| xubuntu22w | though in lightlocker settings it has a section that says lock the screen when screensaver is activated, don't know if that is an indicator of part of the problem | 06:09 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu22w, I was specifically referencing item #1 http://xubuntu.org/news/5-things-to-do-after-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04/ | 06:15 |
| xubuntu22w | This was a fresh install of 15.04 there is no xscreensaver | 06:21 |
| xubuntu22w | I literally hear crickets... | 06:35 |
| parlabane | what does one use in xubuntu to format and repartition a hdd... been looking through the menus and can't seem to find anything | 06:51 |
| cfhowlett | !gparted | parlabane, | 06:51 |
| ubottu | parlabane,: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 06:51 |
| parlabane | does anything come preinstallad ? | 06:51 |
| parlabane | ok thanks cfhowlett | 06:52 |
| parlabane | gparted doesn't seem to be installed! will have to do that | 06:52 |
| parlabane | so it doesn't come with like a disks. porgram like the ubuntu does ? | 06:53 |
| brainwash | xubuntu22w: I suggest that you actually disable/remove light-locker and install xscreensaver instead | 08:58 |
| xubuntu79d | has anyone here had trouble starting xubuntu after the 15.04 update? | 11:00 |
| knome | xubuntu79d, why don't you ask about your problem so people can potentially help with that? | 11:01 |
| xubuntu79d | OK - the only way I can start xubuntu is to hold shift down, then select recovery mode. Then I can select from the menu to resume a normal startup and it works. | 11:02 |

| xubuntu80w | argh. Xubuntu installer ate my encrypted partition. no warnings were given. :( | 16:09 |
| xubuntu80w | It feels kind of crappy that an issue for this was opened nearly 6 years ago and yet this is still a problem. :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-crypto/+bug/420080 | 16:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 420080 in partman-crypto (Debian) "Configure encrypted volumes destroys existing data" [Unknown,New] | 16:10 |
| xubuntu80w | and also as someone has posted from links in at least one of the few bug reports: this is as easy to check for as looking for "LUKS" as the first few characters of the drive. :( :( | 16:11 |
| xubuntu80w | I would have expected something like: "This already looks like an encrypted partition, are you sure we want to destroy all of your data?" | 16:11 |
| xubuntu80w | (and it kills the data before hitting next. argh.) | 16:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu80w: did you have backups? | 16:12 |
| xubuntu80w | of course not, hahahaha. :( :( | 16:14 |
| xubuntu80w | so everything is gone. this is just a "woe is me, I know my data is gone" | 16:14 |
| xubuntu80w | holstein: the next question you'll probably ask is: "will you have backups now that you were burnt?" /me nods | 16:14 |
| holstein | ouch.. im sorry to hear that.. in the future, i say, just try and keep up with best practices on that kind of thing, as much as possible.. | 16:15 |
| xubuntu80w | I do for all servers. this was just my desktop. Not really anything that important there. still sucks to lose all my bookmarks and such. | 16:15 |
| holstein | i just assume, any installer, or partitioner could break things. but, its becuase i had a similar experience with another OS years back.. | 16:15 |
| xubuntu80w | at the point when everything was half broken and I was undergoing the attempt of "wow my system is screwed up from 14.10 -> 15.04, let me reinstall Xubuntu over the previous" | 16:16 |
| xubuntu80w | I should have done backups at that point | 16:17 |
| holstein | well, sounds like that happened.. | 16:17 |
| holstein | anyways, sorry to hear you lost data.. | 16:17 |
| xubuntu80w | er, I mean of course earlier. but definitely at that point | 16:17 |
| xubuntu80w | holstein: do you know how the installer gets baked into xubuntu? it feels like this should at least be fixed so it doesn't happen to me or others in the future. :-/ | 16:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu80w: AFAIK, this will not be specific to xubuntu or xfce.. | 16:19 |
| xubuntu80w | I think Ubuntu uses a slightly different installer | 16:20 |
| xubuntu80w | but yes, Kubuntu for instance probably also uses (ubiquity?) | 16:20 |
| xubuntu07d | Hi. I have a simple question. Where do I find the checksum to verify my download? I been searching the website but can't seem to find it. | 16:54 |
| GridCube | !checksums | 16:55 |
| GridCube | !checksum | 16:55 |
| 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 | 16:55 |
| GridCube | also xubuntu07d if you open any of the mirrors you get a lot of files containing all sorts of sums, http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/xubuntu/releases/15.04/release/ | 16:57 |
| xubuntu07d | that's great! thanks! | 16:58 |

| HaroldV | Hi | 21:50 |
| knome | hello | 21:51 |
| HaroldV | where are you from ? | 21:52 |
| knome | do you have a support question? | 21:52 |
| HaroldV | yes | 21:53 |
| HaroldV | do you speak spanish ? | 21:53 |
| knome | !es | HaroldV | 21:53 |
| ubottu | HaroldV: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 21:53 |
| HaroldV | Muchas Gracias :) | 21:53 |

| tgm4883 | running 15.04 here on my laptop. Occasionally when I resume from standby, after login I'll get a blank screen (without backlight as well). Pointers on where to start looking at this? | 23:23 |
| tgm4883 | switching to TTY1 works fine | 23:23 |
| Unit193 | Are you using late locking/ | 23:25 |
| tgm4883 | late locking? | 23:28 |
| Unit193 | 15.04 uses light-locker, which has a feature called 'late-locking'. I believe the claim of that is less problems with black screen bugs, but alas I don't know much on this topic. | 23:29 |
| Unit193 | (I don't use light-locker.) | 23:29 |
| tgm4883 | I've not setup anything like that I think, but I'll take a look | 23:29 |
