=== not_dammit_ is now known as not_dammit === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [06:02] is anyone there? [06:02] xubuntu22w, don't ask that question. ask your support question. [06:04] 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? [06:05] xubuntu22w, screensaver? xubuntu recommends removal of screensaver. [06:05] When this happens I have to do a hard reboot, Ctrl+Alt+F1 2 3 4 what ever doesn't help [06:06] there is no screen saver, whatever is there by default [06:06] when the screen locks it goes black [06:06] 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] xubuntu22w, dpgk -l | grep xscreensaver xscreensaver is known to conflict with lightlocker [06:08] I assume you ment dpkg, there is no screen saver retruned from that command [06:09] 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 [06:15] xubuntu22w, I was specifically referencing item #1 http://xubuntu.org/news/5-things-to-do-after-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04/ [06:21] This was a fresh install of 15.04 there is no xscreensaver [06:35] I literally hear crickets... [06:51] 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] !gparted | parlabane, [06:51] 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] does anything come preinstallad ? [06:52] ok thanks cfhowlett [06:52] gparted doesn't seem to be installed! will have to do that [06:53] so it doesn't come with like a disks. porgram like the ubuntu does ? [08:58] xubuntu22w: I suggest that you actually disable/remove light-locker and install xscreensaver instead [11:00] has anyone here had trouble starting xubuntu after the 15.04 update? [11:01] xubuntu79d, why don't you ask about your problem so people can potentially help with that? [11:02] 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. === Guest55878 is now known as IdleOne === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === max12345 is now known as Guest30315 === Guest30315 is now known as max12345 === Buzzer` is now known as Buzzer [16:09] argh. Xubuntu installer ate my encrypted partition. no warnings were given. :( [16:10] 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] Launchpad bug 420080 in partman-crypto (Debian) "Configure encrypted volumes destroys existing data" [Unknown,New] [16:11] 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] 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] (and it kills the data before hitting next. argh.) [16:12] xubuntu80w: did you have backups? [16:14] of course not, hahahaha. :( :( [16:14] so everything is gone. this is just a "woe is me, I know my data is gone" [16:14] holstein: the next question you'll probably ask is: "will you have backups now that you were burnt?" /me nods [16:15] 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] 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] i just assume, any installer, or partitioner could break things. but, its becuase i had a similar experience with another OS years back.. [16:16] 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" [16:17] I should have done backups at that point [16:17] well, sounds like that happened.. [16:17] anyways, sorry to hear you lost data.. [16:17] er, I mean of course earlier. but definitely at that point [16:18] 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. :-/ [16:19] xubuntu80w: AFAIK, this will not be specific to xubuntu or xfce.. [16:20] I think Ubuntu uses a slightly different installer [16:20] but yes, Kubuntu for instance probably also uses (ubiquity?) [16:54] 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. [16:55] !checksums [16:55] !checksum [16:55] 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 [16:57] 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/ [16:58] that's great! thanks! === azeam_afk is now known as azeam === not_dammit_ is now known as not_dammit === azeam_afk is now known as azeam === benonsoftware is now known as MerryChristmas [21:50] Hi [21:51] hello [21:52] where are you from ? [21:52] do you have a support question? [21:53] yes [21:53] do you speak spanish ? [21:53] !es | HaroldV [21:53] 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.

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] switching to TTY1 works fine [23:25] Are you using late locking/ [23:28] late locking? [23:29] 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] (I don't use light-locker.) [23:29] I've not setup anything like that I think, but I'll take a look === Unicorn_Badboy is now known as not_dammit [23:57] Hi everyboby :) [23:58] I need some help to install "Git" on my Ubuntu Studio (14.04)... [23:59] Is there someone know how to do, please ? [23:59] sudo apt-get install git
