[00:34] Hi every one, i need your help, i just installed Xubuntu Wily Werewolf this morning and after sudo apt-get dist-upgrade i keep getting this error: http://pasteboard.co/11iEfyd3.png [00:34] Can some one help me please to fox this? [00:35] fix this* [00:48] any one? [03:13] Silly question, when i installed xubuntu in virtualbox during bootup it had the nice blue Xubuntu splashscreen, but when I installed it on my laptop from the BIOS screen it just goes black until the login screen appears. Just curious if there's anyway to force the blue Xubuntu splash screen to appear. [08:05] anyone got any experience troubleshooting hdmi no signal when pc is on but tv turns off - if that makes no sense, then I want to be able to turn the tv off and not reboot the pc to get a signal [08:22] flocculant, maybe this link is helpful to you? https://github.com/regispl/displaymanager [08:24] not really - don't want to extend the desktop, only got 1 display - a tv, turn it off, signal lost [08:24] been here https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=9391 - that's not working for me [08:30] Ok. Maybe this link will be helpful. The shell script is what caught my intrest. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331/+bug/1308105 [08:30] Launchpad bug 1308105 in xfce4-settings "Xfce resets TV mode to NULL when power cycled" [Critical,Confirmed] [08:31] that's the bug listed in the forum topic I noted ;) [08:31] so - I've got the script in home and set up the udev rule too [08:33] Do you have the proper device name listed in the OUTPUT="HDMI-0"? [08:34] it's hdmi-1, but yes :) [08:34] and it's definitely card0 in /dev [08:36] adjagu: thing is that forum post/bug/scripts etc seem to relate to oldish xfce versions - I've got 4.12 here, and I couldn't be anymore up to date with xubuntu than I am :D [08:37] Hmm. Well since it's named properly does a 'xrandr -d :0 --auto' turn it back on? [08:37] I'll try :) [08:40] it appears to run without error - but no signal on tty7 still [08:41] if push comes to shove I'll just save the 150W an hour and turn the pc off rather than leave it on all the time :D [08:42] I understand that. I have had lots of issues with HDMI, sound, etc. [08:42] :) [08:42] Sadly I don't have any other suggestions [08:43] ok - well thanks for your help anyway :) [08:43] I'll post to the m/l and see what turns up there next :) [08:43] have a good day [08:43] Good day to you too. :) [08:45] Well, one final thought. If you have the tv on and the pc on (after you've turned the tv off) - if you unplug the hdmi from the pc and plug it in again, does the picture return? [08:47] nope - I tried that after the big hammer and before the script/udev rule :D [08:48] Well, darn. You also tried restarting the display manger? [08:48] adjagu: mmm no, tried startx is all [08:49] sudo restart lightdm [08:50] or it might be sudo service lightdm restart [08:50] yea last one [08:50] that crashed xorg :) [08:51] Oops. Not what we wanted. [08:51] :D [08:51] I think I used to use sudo pkill X, but I am unsure. It's been a while. [08:52] don't worry too much - I'm happy to fiddle about for 'so long' then I start to cost the time taken to fix against the time taken to not [08:52] currently - it doesn't take too much time to get of my arse and press the power button on it :p [08:53] adjagu: I'll hit the m/l, if I get a 'fix' and I see you in here I'll let you know, thanks for the help :) [08:53] Very true. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. [08:57] adjagu: actually - the one thing I'm not sure about is the BAD_MODE resolution I have in the script http://pastebin.com/kCH2RrJg [08:58] http://pastebin.com/i2f7RF74 is the udev rule [09:02] Is there anything in the xorg logs that suggests that your display size changes? [09:05] nope [09:06] I did look last night as well - nothing of note in xorg.logs [09:06] all I have now is the seg fault from it's crash :) [09:07] meh - now found something up with the dev version of xubuntu :D [09:08] On earlier versions of xubuntu I had to use the following script to force 1920x1080 to my monitor. http://pastebin.com/pHi7rvN0 [09:08] But that is similar to what you've already tried. [09:08] right - once it's going the resolution is fine here [09:09] I'll admit, you do have me puzzled then :) [09:09] :) === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [09:20] adjagu: so - is certainly appears to be xfsettingsd related - kill that and reboot to a horrible screen - tv off and on - still get a signal :) [09:22] if it wasn't intel but nvidia I'd try the Option "UseHotplugEvents" "False" in a xorg.conf [09:25] Intel is the only one to not give me hdmi issues. ATI, phew. [09:26] :) [09:26] I think at this point, if I were you, I'd file a bug report. [09:26] probably will - I'm in Xubuntu team so I'll bend someone's ear first - they might want me to post to an existing one :) [09:28] Quite possible. I really do hope you get this resolved. Now it's a puzzle to solve. :) [09:28] :) === mpmc_ is now known as mpmc1 === mpmc1 is now known as mpmc [14:12] adjagu:script with "while true; do xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI1 --mode 1920x1080; sleep 3; done" works eventually, blue screen for a bit [14:15] What version did synaptic stop being included by default? [14:16] Only had to type one line to get it, just curious when it happened, haven't setup a new install for ages [14:17] not remembering exactly but pre 14.04 [14:18] 14.04 is what I'm working off of now. I know karmic included it, can't remember if quantal did or not [14:19] Wayward_Vagabond: well given I tend to run the current dev I'd be no help trying to remember that far back :D [14:21] Heh, I usually wait a month or two to touch a new release. I will do kernel versions as they come out though [14:21] Currently working on the massive purge/download for initial setup, nearly 8gb to download this time [14:23] [14:28] *whining [15:21] The amd radeon drivers I got from the repos seem to be broken, catalyst throws an error on launch and running aticonfig didn't help [15:45] hi all! === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [17:17] Strange that it takes at least twice as much time to start chromium-browser than google-chrome-stable in Xubuntu 15.10 === DirtDaniel is now known as Foliao [19:22] So, having a couple issues with my installation of 14.04lts. I installed the AMD Radeon graphics drivers from the repos, but Catalyst throws errors when I try to launch it and aticonfig didn't help/ [19:23] The other issue is, my wifi connection randomly drops. It seems to happen if the connection goes demi-idle, but I can't see much of any pattern. I have to disable then renable wifi to see the network that it dropped. [19:26] Oops, nevermind, catalyst works now. Guess I just needed a restart after the massive set of package and driver changes. [19:36] It just did it, that time it didn't show any wifi networks till I 'reset' it [20:06] annd again === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [21:02] Hello [21:03] hi ouroumov [21:03] So I've got a problem trying to set up FDE on xubuntu 14.04: it fails to boot after install. I see garbage on my screen, which I assume is asking for a decryption key (I say that cause I had the non-garbage version once and entered the key, managed to boot) [21:04] I was expecting to have to enter the key, but only once on first use, was I mistaken? [21:04] Hi Luyin [21:10] what's FDE? [21:13] Luyin, Full Disk Encryption [21:47] flocculant: Glad to see you got that sorted :) [22:02] Hi I have a question... what would be your advise if I wanted to install 2 linux distros on my PC and a partition that I will use to store my documents, photos... and I will use it with the 2 distros. [22:03] Do you need two distros or can you run one in a virtual machine? [22:04] DrCool: I will prefer to have 2 distros if possible... [22:05] I think you can tell the install disk to install another distro along side the current OS. [22:06] DrCool.. yes I can... but how to do the partition to store my file and which I can use with the 2 distros?? [22:07] ould I just need to create a / and /home folders for each distro and only one /data folder for example for the partition for my files? [22:08] I think that would do it, create a partion called "filestorage" or something and leave that for each OS to find. [22:08] install the OS on other partitions. [22:08] ok [22:09] you think or you are sure?? :) :) [22:12] ha, well, I always second guess my own advice. [22:13] in theory it should work. You could wait for someone to confirm... [22:15] ok [22:15] :)7 [22:15] :) [22:40] ... Anybody there?
