| Mathisen | hello, so would you say i could upgrade from 15.10 on my dekstop home computer ? | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| Mathisen | or should i still wait | 00:23 |
| genii | Probably wait until after it's in release, unless you have another computer you could fall back to in an emergency | 00:23 |
| k1l | we need a red blinking sign saying: your computer will break :) | 00:24 |
| Mathisen | hehe | 00:25 |
| k1l | Mathisen: use the -d switch for developer | 00:27 |
| k1l | but be aware that things will break and you need to fix them yourself. | 00:27 |
| Mathisen | i understand, but its only for my desktop i have backup... | 00:27 |
| Mathisen | if it breaks to bad i revert | 00:27 |
| Mathisen | i was thinking in the world of.. is there any BIG issues still | 00:28 |
| Mathisen | no comments on that ? | 00:31 |
| Mathisen | or is the answer still " it will break your computer " | 00:31 |
| k1l | working here. | 00:31 |
| Mathisen | :) | 00:31 |
| k1l | but its just not meant for the regular user. thats the point | 00:31 |
| k1l | it can break anytime. and we dont want to hear you cry :) | 00:32 |
| ChibaPet | Mathisen: It will break your computer. I'd wait longer. | 00:32 |
| genii | May kill or maim kittens, i think, is the standard disclaimer | 00:32 |
| Mathisen | okej :) il wait | 00:32 |
| ChibaPet | It'll be out pretty soon in any event, in all its LTS glory. | 00:32 |
| Mathisen | from one thing to another.. im no expert how do i get the newest nvidia drivers for my card nvidia 960 gt ? | 00:33 |
| Mathisen | can you help me with that would be great if you could | 00:33 |
| genii | Mathisen: Support for regular Ubuntu is in #ubuntu | 00:33 |
| genii | Please ask there :) | 00:34 |
| Mathisen | i know but i think i read that 16.04 has beta drivers in a repo ? | 00:34 |
| Mathisen | or ame i dreaming here | 00:34 |
| genii | You can get the latest drivers for any current not-EOL Ubuntu by adding the xorg-edgers PPA | 00:35 |
| Mathisen | thx | 00:36 |

| lordievader | Good morning. | 08:57 |
| Volkodav | Hi! I can't get the image to boot from flash drive - tried dd netbootin on different boxes as different user | 10:24 |
| alexwhitman | Has the Ubuntu Mono font changed recently in 16.04? Performed an update today and things look... odd | 10:50 |

| Mikelevel | hi , any help with nvidia-352 package ... problems with lib32gcc1 and libc6-i386 | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 12:57 |
| ChibaPet | Mikelevel: What problems? I installed it last night and it seems to be running fine here on a GTX 660. | 16:58 |
| Mikelevel | i think i was using some repos outdated ... now with official repository everything works fine | 16:59 |
| ChibaPet | Good good. | 17:00 |
| ChibaPet | Hm, vlc and xine both dump core. Need to debug this after getting back home later. | 18:01 |
| ChibaPet | And yet, mplayer plays my DVD. Weird. | 18:04 |
| ChibaPet | The odd bit is that my other Xenial box can play DVDs with any of them without issue. That might help track it down. | 18:04 |
| ngaio | is there a special reason why the Dash doesn't find applications in /usr/local/bin, with icons and .desktop file under /usr/local/share/ ? it works in 15.10 | 18:21 |
| enyc | ngaio: $PATH not the asme somehow? | 19:05 |
| enyc | ngaio: whatever process is spawning the dash process, doesn't have /usr/local/ {various} in the relevant PATH or equivalent ? | 19:05 |
| ngaio | enyc, $PATH looks okay. I just rebooted and the application in /usr/local/bin showed up in the dash with an icon, but no name | 19:07 |
| ngaio | very puzzling | 19:07 |
| ngaio | before the reboot (and after the install) there was no icon at all | 19:07 |
| ngaio | so it couldn't be found in the dash | 19:08 |
| enyc | ngaio_: i rememebr circumstances where $PATH was fine at some terminal but not in whatever spawned a particualr panel, etc. | 20:01 |
| enyc | ngaio_: i remember bein driven potty by a certain solaris system with /opt/gnome-1.4/ blah lah and zillions of other things in paths all over the place which was crazy | 20:01 |
| enyc | LD_LIBRARY_PATH ridiculousness and all the rest of it ;p | 20:01 |
| ChibaPet | enyc: For a number of years my shell scripts kept a list of possible paths across a bunch of different systems, and built a PATH from whatever existed. | 21:25 |
| ChibaPet | Never know if what you want is in /opt/sfw/bin or /usr/pkg/sbin or /usr/games, and then there was that naughty Sendmail in /usr/lib. | 21:26 |
| enyc | ;p | 21:32 |
| ChibaPet | Now systemd will push us all to /usr/bin, and in doing so utterly obscure why /usr ever existed in the first place. | 21:36 |
| * ChibaPet whistles and looks the other way. | 21:37 | |
