| sergio-br2 | hey Unit193 | 00:20 |
| sergio-br2 | man, what's happened to the OK/Cancel window... | 00:24 |
| sergio-br2 | it's gnome design right? | 00:24 |
| gdi2k | I have two Broadwell generation Thinkpads: X250 and T450s. I'm having nasty stability issues with the T450s. The X250 has been super stable and no trouble at all, but with the T450s, nothing really works properly. Even running the Xubuntu 14.04.3 Live CD results in Thunar immediately crashing. The installation constantly crashes, but at different points. If it does install, applications constantly crash, especially Libreoffice (which I depend on). | 03:23 |
| gdi2k | I have run memtest of hours and no errors show up | 03:23 |
| gdi2k | I have replace the SSD with a new SSD | 03:24 |
| gdi2k | I wiped Windows as soon as it arrived, so I can't say if it runs stable on Windows or not | 03:24 |
| gdi2k | I have tried Xubuntu 14.04 and 15.04, both have the same issues | 03:24 |
| gdi2k | any good ideas? | 03:24 |
| gdi2k | I have also tried using a variety of known good install media (different USB flash drives, and a regular external USB hard disk) | 03:26 |
| ball | Are Xubuntu ISO images bootable if I dump them onto a USB flash drive? | 03:32 |
| finn | its a live iso | 03:36 |
| Unit193 | ball: If you dd them, you can't just drag and drop/cp them over. Of course, you can if you use some loopback magic with grub. | 03:54 |
| ball | dd is what I had in mind. | 04:05 |
| ball | Thank you. | 04:06 |
| nikolam | this is output of , pacmd list-sinks | grep name , http://pastebin.com/pDqU7Yg9 | 10:09 |
| nikolam | User complains that it has displayed 'MONO' as sound output and he wants it in stereo | 10:10 |
| nikolam | 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) | 10:10 |
| bazhang | !hdaintel | 10:12 |
| ubottu | For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 10:12 |
| nikolam | I have found this for making it send both channels to MONO: http://superuser.com/questions/657876/mono-sound-output-in-ubuntu | 10:18 |
| nikolam | but user for some reason already has selected mono, he wants stereo | 10:18 |
| nikolam | I suspect it is some settings for local user | 10:19 |
| nikolam | for example, headphones are selected for output, maybe that is the problem | 10:24 |
| jarnos | nikolam, for each sink input listed by pacmd list-sink-inputs you have to move sink to stereo sink by pacmd move-sink-input <input sink number> <stereo sink number>. A little bit complicated. I made a script for that in my configuration. | 10:52 |
| jarnos | I had some errors during shutdown; there was unattended upgrades. I got some text output during shutdown, but in which log I should search for it? | 10:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't think shutdown is logged but you can check the logs for whatever made the noise | 10:56 |
| === Ofloo` is now known as Ofloo | ||
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, Well, there are noise in many logs. | 11:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: only you know what "some text output" means | 11:25 |
| jarnos | The output had some time offsets on each line | 11:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | sounds like kernel messages | 11:26 |
| jarnos | There is nothing from that time in kern.log | 11:29 |
| jarnos | Logs for unattended upgrades show pretty good. | 11:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | if you know the time you could grep -rn 'time' /var/log/ | 11:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | if that fails I don't know where else you could look | 11:32 |
| jarnos | I wonder why dmesg is empty. And no spare dmesg log | 11:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | are there kernel.*.log's | 11:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | ? | 11:36 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, no, just kern.log* | 11:38 |
| jarnos | There are some errors in apport.log.1 | 11:39 |
| jarnos | http://pastebin.com/2t8SR5Vk | 11:40 |
| jarnos | Concerning /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-1.0 | 11:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | I read that as saying something closed before something else but nothing will be done as the system is shutting down | 11:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | so I wouldn't worry about that | 11:43 |
| jarnos | well_laid_lawn, similar lines repeat in older apport.log files. | 12:18 |
| jarnos | Though, I have not seen such output during shutdown before. | 12:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | jarnos: so that's not the issue then | 12:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | maybe recording the shutdown on your phone or something will gat the errors... | 12:20 |
| jarnos | Well, I would like to get rid of that error, too. | 12:23 |
| jarnos | I suppose it is something about the system load monitor plugin. | 12:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep, it might be fixed in newer versions. I dunno | 12:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | what version are you running ? | 12:28 |

| Kotz3koch3r | 'xrandr --dpi' did nothing :( | 16:51 |
| GeekDude | I can't seem to resize GIMP when it's in single window mode. It just won't work; neither dragging, alt-right click, or maximize will work to resize the window. | 16:58 |
| GeekDude | Google isn't being particularly helpful to me today. It keeps telling me how to resize an image, not the actual editor window itself. | 17:04 |
| Luyin | GeekDude: restarted your computer? I know it sounds silly, but might actually help. also, installed all package upgrades? | 19:01 |
| GeekDude | Luyin: I did updates and rebooted earlier today | 19:11 |
| Luyin | GeekDude: hmm, was just an idea. sry :-/ | 19:12 |
| Luyin | only thing left that pops to my mind would be to reinstall gimp | 19:12 |
| Luyin | which gimp version, btw? | 19:13 |
| GeekDude | 2.8.14 | 19:13 |
| GeekDude | huh | 19:14 |
| GeekDude | it's working now | 19:14 |
| GeekDude | Well, thanks for the help anyways! | 19:14 |
| Luyin | yw :D | 19:15 |

| daniele_ | who can help me please? | 20:33 |
| knome | !patience | daniele_ | 20:33 |
| ubottu | daniele_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:33 |
| Luyin | daniele_: as a first try, run "sudo service NetworkManager restart" | 20:40 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451256/ | 20:46 |
| Luyin | damn, I must have got the name wrong again. it might be Network-Manager, network-manager, networkmanager or anything else you can imagine. sorry, can't check it since I'm not on a sysvinit based system ehre | 20:48 |
| Luyin | *here | 20:48 |
| daniele_ | ok,it disconnected eth and reconnected eth | 20:50 |
| daniele_ | this pc is faraway from modem and wi fi if is possible... | 20:50 |
| daniele_ | sorry for my english,i'm italian | 20:50 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451326/ | 20:51 |
| Luyin | daniele_: could you provide the following on separate pastes, please: "ifconfig -a", "dmesg", "egrep -i 'net|eth|wlan|firm|reason' /var/log/syslog" | 20:52 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451358/ | 20:55 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451402/ | 20:56 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451418/ | 20:57 |
| daniele_ | ops... | 20:58 |
| daniele_ | i'm waiting for egrep -i 'net|eth|wlan|firm|reason'/var/log/syslog | 21:00 |
| daniele_ | nothing again | 21:01 |
| Luyin | hmm, nothing useful so far. what device do you use to establish a wireless connection? | 21:02 |
| daniele_ | an old usb "motorette" the sistem detected | 21:02 |
| daniele_ | but i have another | 21:02 |
| daniele_ | change?realtek is other and i have also the cd installation but i don't find the solution | 21:03 |
| daniele_ | somebody say me that the problem is usb1...but nobody has explain to me what is it? | 21:04 |
| Luyin | I wouldn't know of anything that's wrong with your usb1, nor what it should have to do w/ your wlan | 21:05 |
| Luyin | unfortunately, I have no idea what's wrong with your wlan, either. I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you here. | 21:05 |
| daniele_ | mhhh if i change the usb wireless? | 21:06 |
| Luyin | daniele_: you can try, sure | 21:06 |
| daniele_ | and the same iter? | 21:06 |
| Luyin | daniele_: iter? | 21:09 |
| daniele_ | route | 21:09 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451574/ | 21:10 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451595/ | 21:11 |
| daniele_ | egrep -i 'net|eth|wlan|firm|reason'/var/log/syslog nothing | 21:13 |
| Luyin | daniele_: ah, so your wlan device is a usb device? | 21:13 |
| daniele_ | yes | 21:13 |
| Luyin | daniele_: ignore the egrep command. it seems it's outdated, or otherwise /var/log/syslog doesn't exist. | 21:13 |
| daniele_ | ok | 21:13 |
| daniele_ | I have the CD but can not install it | 21:15 |
| Luyin | daniele_: is SSID broadcasted by the router, or is it hidden? | 21:15 |
| daniele_ | by the router i think | 21:16 |
| Luyin | daniele_: could you repeat your very first paste (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/14451010/ ) with "sudo" please? | 21:16 |
| Luyin | daniele_: you ought to make sure. if that's the source, we can fix it easily, and we won't have to look further ;) | 21:17 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451672/ | 21:18 |
| daniele_ | ok | 21:20 |
| daniele_ | yes,by the router | 21:22 |
| Luyin | ok | 21:22 |
| Luyin | daniele, with sudo: "sudo lshw -C network" please | 21:23 |
| Luyin | daniele_: | 21:26 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451802/ | 21:27 |
| daniele_ | sorry,the telephone :/ | 21:27 |
| Luyin | np | 21:27 |
| Luyin | daniele_: did you see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported ? | 21:28 |
| Luyin | daniele_: nevermind, obviously your vendor isn't supported (at least on this website) | 21:29 |
| Luyin | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/if_sis.4.html | 21:29 |
| daniele_ | i don't know what can do | 21:31 |
| Luyin | well, as I understand from the last link, you are supposed to either recompile your kernel with the sis driver enabled, or you can add it as a module to be loaded at boot time | 21:32 |
| Luyin | although I'm not 100 % sure about this. you might want to ask about this specifically in #ubuntu | 21:32 |
| daniele_ | they say me "use eth" :) | 21:32 |
| Luyin | that's a stupid answer | 21:33 |
| Luyin | anyway, you can try to follow the instructions about lloading the driver at boot time | 21:33 |
| daniele_ | nobody want help me,all say the pc is very old, get-out it | 21:33 |
| Luyin | as I understand it, there ought to be a file in /etc called "loader.conf" | 21:33 |
| Luyin | add the line if_sis_load="YES" to it, then reboot | 21:34 |
| daniele_ | i have the cd into, but no permission gave me | 21:34 |
| Luyin | daniele_: what's your favourite editor? do you know how to use nano? | 21:34 |
| daniele_ | ok,i open it with gedit? | 21:34 |
| Luyin | daniele_: for gedit, type "gksudo gedit /etc/loader.conf" | 21:35 |
| daniele_ | nothing happen | 21:36 |
| Luyin | meh | 21:36 |
| Luyin | try "sudo gedit /etc/loader.conf" | 21:36 |
| daniele_ | non avevo gedit ^_^ | 21:37 |
| Luyin | daniele_: let's try something different: "sudo modprobe sis" | 21:37 |
| daniele_ | i haven't gedit,i install now it | 21:37 |
| Luyin | no | 21:38 |
| daniele_ | it's late | 21:38 |
| Luyin | you probably have mousepad or leafpad installed | 21:38 |
| daniele_ | yes,mousepad | 21:38 |
| Luyin | also, learn to use nano. or learn vim ;) | 21:38 |
| Luyin | the replace the "gedit" with "mousepad" | 21:38 |
| daniele_ | gedit is here now | 21:38 |
| Luyin | you don't need anything else | 21:38 |
| daniele_ | i try again? | 21:38 |
| Luyin | also, could you please paste me "lsmod | grep sis" | 21:39 |
| daniele_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451989/ | 21:40 |
| Luyin | daniele_: "sudo modprobe sis900" | 21:41 |
| Luyin | if that doesn't help, you might want to add "sudo modprobe i2c_sis96x" | 21:41 |
| daniele_ | nothing | 21:41 |
| daniele_ | but loader.conf i continue to compile it? | 21:42 |
| Luyin | after both these, repeat the "service ... restart" from above, I dunno whichever it was that actually did something ;) | 21:42 |
| Luyin | daniele_: no, ignore that loader.conf crap | 21:42 |
| Luyin | sorry about that. dunno what that's about, but it's rubbish. | 21:42 |
| daniele_ | :) ok | 21:42 |
| daniele_ | ok,restart the service http://paste.ubuntu.com/14452047/ | 21:44 |
| Luyin | so, do you see a wireless network now on your networkmanager applet? | 21:45 |
| daniele_ | no | 21:45 |
| Luyin | shoot | 21:46 |
| Luyin | daniele_: I'm sorry, but I'm out of ideas now. | 21:46 |
| daniele_ | in a first moment i did put d-link usb and wi fi worked,but the system got stuck | 21:47 |
| Luyin | daniele_: I'd try #ubuntu again, tell them what we've tried so far. ignore the fartbags telling you to use a different computer, just hang around and hope somebody who's both decent and more knowing than me comes up with an idea | 21:47 |
| daniele_ | thank | 21:47 |
