BiDi_ | Not sure if this is the right place to be, but I am having trouble after installing Win7 Pro and xubuntu 14.04 in a dual boot arrangement. It seems that the installation of xubuntu has stopped Windows Update from working (other than that, both OS's seem fine) | 05:17 |
---|---|---|
cfhowlett | BiDi_, nothing in ubuntu would stop a windows update. look elsewhere | 05:18 |
BiDi_ | Well, the things is it's happened twice now. Complete re-install of everything (both OS's). Windows is fine until I put xubuntu on the disk. So, it's that action that is suspicious. | 05:20 |
cfhowlett | BiDi_, I understand what you say but .. if windows boots correctly then the issue is with windows. NOTHING in ubuntu would prevent windows from updating | 05:21 |
BiDi_ | OK, perhaps this is the wrong place. I don't think that ubuntu is preventing Windows from updating, I think that the action of installing ubuntu has done something. | 05:25 |
ObrienDave | only if it's a UEFI issue | 05:25 |
ObrienDave | but i seriously doubt that. they require separate partitions. no way to interfere | 05:26 |
cfhowlett | BiDi_, if windows can BOOT then the two are unrelated. | 05:26 |
BiDi_ | No, it's an older machine. No UEFI. | 05:27 |
cfhowlett | BiDi_, ask ##windows what's going on? | 05:27 |
BiDi_ | Yeah, I bet they'll blame linux ! I have tried various Windows fix-it tools without success (same problem, they try to find updates and wait forever). I am inclined to blame the home router, but can't see how the act of installing xubuntu affects that either. Oh well, I guess I will begin to reinstall everything for the 3rd time :-( | 05:30 |
ObrienDave | when did you reboot the router last? | 05:32 |
BiDi_ | Thanks anyway! | 05:32 |
cfhowlett | BiDi_, you know you must register windows to update? | 05:32 |

xubuntu818 | hello everyone | 08:22 |

sjoshi | Hello, I am not able to change image in about me? it still displays the older image during login screen.. any help? | 14:11 |
sjoshi | I am on xubuntu 15.04 | 14:11 |
holstein | sjoshi: what have you tried? did you try "Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face" ? | 14:13 |
holstein | have you tried going to "Application->System->Administration->About Me" and clicking on the image? | 14:14 |
sjoshi | holstein: nope, I am js following the UI process, clicking that image and changing it to another one | 14:14 |
sjoshi | holstein: there its showing me the new image, but on login screen its shows me the older one only | 14:14 |
sjoshi | i mean in mugshot.. | 14:14 |
holstein | sjoshi: look and see if you have a "~/.face", and if not, you can try creating one for that | 14:15 |
holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/47186/is-there-a-way-to-change-user-picture-in-xubuntu-and-actually-display-it-on-log | 14:15 |
sjoshi | holstein: there is a file named .face as you have mentioned | 14:15 |
holstein | sjoshi: cool.. i would backup what is there, and create a file that is the *same*, that has the image i want there, and see if the changes apply to the login screen.. | 14:16 |
sjoshi | ok let me try this... | 14:20 |
sjoshi | Now i am doubting the size of the image is big thats why its not able show it onthe login screen | 14:21 |
sjoshi | i have assumed that mugshot has this intelligence to trim to the size it needs | 14:21 |
holstein | sjoshi: i would, personally, just backup the image that is working.. the one that is there.. make a copy, open it up in GIMP, and use it as the template for putting the one i want on there | 14:21 |
sjoshi | agree, doing | 14:22 |
holstein | sjoshi: im sure, you can file a bug for "mugshot" in this case.. or, it could also be a "feature".. | 14:22 |
sjoshi | holstein: Let me reproduce it will file it sure, thanks for support | 14:29 |
sjoshi | your support* | 14:29 |
vista__ | Hey, I am having some trouble after upgrading to 15.04 | 18:29 |
vista__ | I haven't had this problem on 14.10 | 18:29 |
vista__ | Basically, if I intensively use my wireless connection (e.g watching a stream in high definition) | 18:29 |
vista__ | I just 'lose' the WiFi signal to my AP | 18:30 |
vista__ | as in, I can connect to another AP just fine, but my AP no longer shows up in the list and manually connecting to it doesn't work either | 18:30 |
holstein | vista__: sometimes, i have to choose "connect to hidden" and choose my AP | 18:30 |
vista__ | That's what I tried, it didn't find it that way either | 18:31 |
holstein | not sure what triggers it.. not HD vid playback.. | 18:31 |
vista__ | Here comes the weird part | 18:31 |
vista__ | to get it back on the list / be able to connect to it | 18:31 |
vista__ | I have to use the physical WiFi on/off switch on my laptop AND do ifconfig wlan0 down && ifconfig wlan0 up | 18:31 |
holstein | anyways, at this stage, i would just try 15.10, if i think, or find its driver related, and 15.10 supports it "better". since, 15.04 is just supported for 3 more months.. | 18:31 |
vista__ | doing either does not help | 18:31 |
holstein | i used to think i needed to reboot.. | 18:32 |
holstein | anyways, im not sure for me if its driver related.. etc.. | 18:32 |
vista__ | dmesg says: | 18:32 |
vista__ | wlan0: disassociated from f8:1a:67:34:f6:ba (Reason: 7) | 18:32 |
holstein | i would probably just check and make sure my routers firmware is up to date, since thats just good practice, and flash that, if needed.. and make sure i have the latest updates for ubuntu.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 18:34 |
holstein | then, personally, if this is something im going to have to address, i do it in 15.10, since, i would get 9 months of support.. rather than fixing it in 15.04, now.. | 18:35 |
