[05:48] Hello [06:27] hi I'm terribly stuck [06:28] my touchpad is erratic/uncontrollable [06:28] pls help [06:31] ...I'll be back soon, just try something [06:40] ok, I've seemed to have fixed it [11:29] Good morning! [12:01] . [13:14] First time using linux based OS. Having hanging issues during install of lubuntu or xubuntu from either cd or usb. XP is on old system, I would like that gone. Machine is x51 freevents and I've seen other people in other forums having issues with similar design machines but could not see a solution. I'm getting initializing gfx code on lubuntu and even less on xubuntu. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks [13:16] 14.04.3-i386 are the versions I'm trying [13:21] * xubuntu-x4nd slaps Al1ve around a bit with a large fishbot [13:46] What... [14:32] Hello, I recently upgraded to 15.04. Now when I connect a second monitor and extend the screen I cannot move any window fully onto the screen. The window will hit a 'wall' well before the halfway point of the second screen. The mouse is freely able to move around the second screen without issue. Any suggestions? [14:34] invalidName: i have dealt with that in the past with alternate GPU drivers.. is that the case? is it nvidia or ati hardware that has proprietary drivers available? [14:36] holstein: I am using proprietary drivers (nvidia-331 v 340.76). My computer has nvidia Optimus (has both Intel and Nvidia). Encountering problems while running in intel mode but I haven't tried it with nvidia. [14:37] invalidName, did you install the intel 15.04 drivers? [14:41] cfhowlett: the graphics drivers? [14:41] invalidName, yep. [14:42] cfhowlett: no I have not [14:44] cfhowlett: would you suggest I try that first? [14:45] invalidName, seems a sane step [14:45] cfhowlett: great [14:52] cfhowlett: installed it but it didn't fix the problem. [14:52] invalidName, reboot [14:53] i have, in the past, used arandr to generate a script, which i will test, and set to autorun at login after a small delay [14:53] i have an older nvidia card that can do that, if i try and let it automatically deal with dual head [14:53] okay, i'll be back after reboot [14:53] but, if you didnt reboot, you have to do that for driver changes like that [14:54] yep [14:56] cfhowlett: it works. Thank you very much. [14:56] invalidName, happy2help! === invalidName_ is now known as invalidName === invalidName is now known as another_name [16:00] * Skald_9_ etenstijd [16:35] Another question about 15.04, I locked my computer with 2 screens (extended). After leaving it idle I came back to tried to unlock it. However both screens were gray. In order to unlock the computer I unplugged the second screen and the normal lock screen with login prompt showed up. Is there a solution to this? [16:36] Hello, I've installed xubuntu 15.04 and xrdp, I connect from win pc. I run ifconfig in a terminal and I get error (bin or sbin is not in path, i don't remember very well). Is there a way to make a remote conection and work like the physical connection (all permissions, etc)? [17:00] another_name, some people have reported similar issues and it's not clear why they exist. the next time that happens, simply try clicking with your mouse - some have said that helps (and it helps for me too when i rarely get that) [17:00] another_name, well i get it at boot, but it's essentially the same situation [17:01] knome: okay fair enough. It also seemed it still accepted my keyboard input. So I might have been able to log in "blind". [17:03] knome: thanks for the suggestions. [17:09] another_name, no problem - let's hope we can get this all fixed :) [17:09] another_name, if you are interested in helping us out, join #xubuntu-devel and hang out - we're talking about the problem now and then and potentially need debugging from different hardware setups [17:10] knome: sure. [18:00] hola [18:35] i have issue with calibre in xfce desktop.. files are not option using calibre [18:36] http://dpaste.com/1M5FRGD [21:41] I am having this really weird desktop glitch http://imgur.com/UZVrNi5 what should I do to fix it? [21:42] this is a fresh install from a couple of minuets ago [21:43] i would look for, and apply all updates, and reboot.. after that, i would look into any alternative GPU drivers.. then, i would try something like arandr, and see if i can set the desktop geometry and have any effect on that.. [21:43] ok thats what I figured. Be back in a few :) [21:47] holstien same thing [21:47] holstein same thing [21:47] sorry [21:48] zacwalls: when? after rebooting after opening the terminal and running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? and, are there proprietary drivers avaiable? also, have you tried arandr? or the included display tool? [21:49] wait i forgot to mention that this laptops display is busted and I have been using a monitor and i just went into the display settings. I will report my solution in a few :) [21:50] i would expect to have dual head on, and maybe that is causing the issue.. where, you are actually just seeing a part of the broken display [21:50] i would likely disable the internal in the bios.. [21:51] center of the screen. Cannot afford to fix. Also, its via RGB and it wont display until I have booted into the OS [21:52] hey, i do that often.. an external monitor on a broken laptop.. [21:52] but, you'll have to sort out the work arounds.. [21:53] eek [21:54] display tool it is... [21:55] holstein http://imgur.com/BYkcVEn [21:55] right.. so, since that one is broken, you can disable it, there [21:56] wat? [21:56] zacwalls: since the internal laptop screen is broken, you can use that tool to disable it [21:56] and get a "better" looking desktop [21:56] ah [21:56] ok [21:59] holstein http://imgur.com/cUAq2Uw :( [21:59] zacwalls: right.. whats the problem? that looks great [21:59] vga only.. looks clean.. [22:00] the date/time is in the corner all weird IMPERFECTION!!!! lol [22:00] zacwalls: thats the panel layout, though.. *not* monitor geometry [22:00] oh so desktop settings :) [22:01] ok [22:01] zacwalls: panel layout, specificall [22:01] lol [22:01] zacwalls: if thats what you are having issues with.. i literally dont see an issue with the desktop there.. [22:01] ok well let me see what I can do and send you a screenshot [22:04] hmm [23:28] hi folks [23:28] what's the proper way to set static IP via command line these days?#
