[00:26] <Daekdroom> Does firefox --new-instance not work in Ubuntu? (that is, throw an error message instead of opening a new instance of Firefox)
[00:44] <squinty> seems to work here
[01:28] <Daekdroom> squinty, does it work when you have an instance running already?
[01:32] <squinty> Daekdroom,  no, a window appears saying to shutdown the already running instance
[06:35] <heshers> hi, im on the 4.5 kernel on Ubuntu 16.04, how do i install the new amd gfx card drivers?
[06:37] <hiya> Would the new Ubuntu 16.04 ship with full free kernel like Debian and have Gnome by default?
[06:38] <heshers> XD
[06:38] <heshers> Ubuntu GNOME Edition 16.04 will
[06:38] <heshers> but Normal is Unity 7 and 8
[06:40] <hiya> but no fully free kernel?
[06:42] <heshers> not sure
[06:42] <heshers> if not, why not just install the kernel yourself?
[06:42] <hiya> From minimal OS ?
[06:42] <hiya> base ISO?
[06:42] <hiya> Can we do it?
[06:43] <heshers> you can probablly edit the base ISO, are you doing a mass install?
[06:43] <hiya> I am doing an individual install only
[06:43] <hiya> but I am a strong supporter of FSF
[06:44] <hiya> I love Free/Libre kernel
[06:44] <hiya> But Ubuntu ships with too much non-free by default
[06:44] <heshers> then install Ubuntu GNOME, and if the kernel is not free install another one
[06:44] <heshers> ?
[06:45] <hiya> k
[06:48] <ChibaPet> hiya: If you want to adhere to what the FSF wants you to run, you need to use one of the systems listed here: https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.en.html
[06:57] <hiya> ChibaPet, ok thanks
[08:41] <lordievader> Good morning.
[11:09] <Fudge> anyone used xeon e3 processors on z97 successfully on linux
[11:11] <lotuspsychje> Fudge: you mean on xenial?
[11:36] <onicrom> hi, i upgraded from 15.10 and im unable to login to X when i try gnome or unity, also installed unity8, icewm/xfce work fine
[11:37] <onicrom> ive tried creating a new user entirely and it still doesnt work
[11:41] <Fudge> yep
[11:44] <onicrom> any idea what it might be?
[12:13] <onicrom> google results haven't helped much
[13:18] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:32] <onicrom> had to delete a bunch of .config .gconf stuff
[13:41] <cryptomonk> hello
[13:42] <cryptomonk> Im about to deploy a bunch of machines, is it possible to download a pre-release of 16.04 then just update/upgrade once the LTS is fully released
[13:42] <cryptomonk> rather not do 14.04->16.04 upgrade as they tend to be clunky
[13:43] <cryptomonk> any tips?
[13:43] <BluesKaj> cryptomonk, you can but it's advisable to wait til the point release in june or july
[13:44] <BluesKaj> especially for LTS releases
[13:44] <cryptomonk> ok
[14:39] <foormea> hi
[14:39] <foormea> i'm wondering whether 16.04 is already somewhat stable?
[14:39] <foormea> or should i expect it to be completely broken? :D
[14:43] <flocculant> foormea: it's pretty much stable for me - though of course different flavours might be in a different state
[14:44] <flocculant> it's certainly not completely broken
[14:44] <foormea> alright, cool! thanks
[14:44] <flocculant> upgrading from 14.04 to it though IS broken
[14:44] <lotuspsychje> foormea: when final is released
[14:45] <saaa> hi
[14:45] <saaa> I'm trying 16.04 and ifup fails: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15327977/ is this a known problem or should I report it somewhere?
[14:45] <foormea> well i'm on bodhi linux now, although ubuntu-based i wouldn't dare an upgrade from this :D
[14:45] <saaa> network is working fine, but it's annoying
[14:45] <lotuspsychje> !bug | saaa
[14:47] <foormea> alright thanks! have a good day
[14:56] <NoCode> Is pulseaudio-equalizer enabled in this pre-release, or this upcoming release?
[14:56] <NoCode> You devs/ packagers should enable this feat.
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> !info pulseaudio-equalizer xenial
[14:57] <NoCode> It's a great thing everyone needs.
[14:57] <NoCode> :P
[14:57] <lotuspsychje> NoCode: there should be a page somewhere to request packages
[14:58] <NoCode> I know arch has it in their repos
[14:58] <NoCode> Or at least it is packaged for that distro.
[14:59] <lotuspsychje> NoCode: you sure you have right packagename right?
[15:00] <lotuspsychje> !find equalizer
[15:00] <NoCode> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Load_equalizer_sink_and_dbus-protocol_module -- that'
[15:00] <NoCode> s the arch page.
[16:06] <vertago1> I have submitted a patch to launchpad a long time ago but it looks like nobody has looked into it. What does it take to get a dev test package built?
[16:29] <BluesKaj> vertago1, ask in #ubuntu-devel
[16:31] <lotuspsychje> NoCode: maybe the #ubuntu-release guys might know where to start?
[17:06] <madh69> If i install 16.04 beta can i upgrade to 16.04LTS when its released? Will this wipe my installed applications like apache etc...
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> !final | madh69
[17:10] <madh69> Ok thx
[17:10] <lotuspsychje> madh69: keep in mind that final might have newer package versions
[17:11] <madh69> I guess i should just wait till end of april for a cleaner system?
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> madh69: that depends what you really want?
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> madh69: keep in mind that 16.04 is now meant for testing, not really daily use
[17:22] <madh69> Yeah its because mainly i want to change 14.04 as my hd 2000 graphics wont work its an issue that has been documented with 14.04 and my drivers
[17:23] <lotuspsychje> madh69: then stay on 16.04 daily until final
[17:24] <madh69> Ok so ill get beta 1 and then ill have to get beta 2 then rc then final for ot to be fully upgrated to LTS in april?
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> madh69: it will all automaticly upgrade
[17:25] <madh69> Will it clutter?
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> madh69: lol, again this stage right now can still break
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> madh69: so if you really want to sleep on both ears, install 16.04 clean on final
[17:26] <madh69> Yes but with all them upgrades will it waste alot of disk space and clutter?
[17:26] <lotuspsychje> madh69: nothing can beat a clean install right
[17:27] <madh69> Right... dam video drivers i could always get another cheap card
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> madh69: but that doesnt mean your system will break right, maybe all will go smooth upgrade
[17:29] <madh69> Yeah its just i dont want wasted diskspace from all upgrades and dependancies it will keep
[17:29] <madh69> ?
[17:30] <lotuspsychje> madh69: you can cleanup your system yourself too
[17:30] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | madh69
[17:31] <madh69> Sweet well i will do the install when i get home... on a samsung note 4 in a shawarma restaurent lol ;)

[17:52] <BluesKaj> 70km west of sudbury here

[17:57] <BluesKaj> andchat irc client, madh69 ?
[17:58] <snowgoggles> Are Canadians taking over ubuntu+1 ?
[17:59] <Madhumper66> Yes we are
[17:59] <snowgoggles> we must be desperate for a new distro in the Great White North
[17:59] <Madhumper66> Phone rebooted lol ugh
[17:59] <snowgoggles> Londo, ON. here
[17:59] <BluesKaj> snowgoggles, yeah our dollar is too low to afford Windows :-)
[17:59] <lotuspsychje> lol
[17:59] <Madhumper66> Hahahah
[18:00] <squinty> Vancouver Island BC here  :-)
[18:00] <Madhumper66> Canadians are big on IT
[18:01] <Madhumper66> And love their electronics ;)
[18:01] <BluesKaj-ph> Yup
[18:02] <genii> And seem to prefer Ubuntu to Xandros
[18:02] <Madhumper66> ;)
[18:02] <BluesKaj-ph> Just checking phone client
[18:03] <BluesKaj-ph> Part
[18:03] <Madhumper66> Is andchat best client on android? U guys use irc on mobile?
[18:06] <BluesKaj> Madhumper66, dunno it's the only one I've tried, seems to work ok, but texting on a phone KB is difficult for phat phingers like mine
[18:06] <Madhumper66> Yeah lol
[18:07] <Madhumper66> U can use the talk to text option;)
[18:10] <BluesKaj> prefer a larger screen, a mobil;e is stioll mostly just a phone to me, that's why mine only cost $100
[18:11] <Madhumper66> Yeah i got a note 4 bigger screen
[18:12] <BluesKaj> and aas you can see I have enough trouble wioth a regular KB :-)
[18:13] <genii> Oh, for anyone that might be in/around Toronto when Xenial arrives.. http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/3330-toronto-xenial-xerus-release-party/
[18:14] <Madhumper66> Nice... thanks  genii anything for ottawa?
[18:23] <genii> Madhumper66: Not that I know, unless you and BluesKaj want to do something :)
[18:24] <genii> There is usually another one in Kitchener on the Saturday after release day
[18:26]  * NoCode steals genii's timbits
[18:27] <genii> NoCode: Maybe you can come down from Hamilton and visit :)
[18:27] <BluesKaj> I imagine I'll just be hanging out here at home like any other release day, it's kind of anticlimactic for me anyway after running the OS for almost 6 months :-)
[18:28]  * BluesKaj just wonders what's next for Kubuntu
[18:29] <NoCode> genii, hrm, maybe. When is the release party?
[18:31] <NoCode> African Ground Squirrel. LOOK OUT. :D
[18:31] <NoCode> I just googled it when I seen the topic. ;)
[18:31] <genii> NoCode: Thurs, April 21
[18:31] <NoCode> Nice.
[18:32] <genii> NoCode: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/3330-toronto-xenial-xerus-release-party/
[18:34] <fnordistus__> why is apt-build conf not working with custom cflags?

[19:46] <Guest1399> I started upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 and during pjg installation proces at about 80% i got black screen. Is it safe to reboot or should i leave it for a while?
[19:47] <popey> can you ssh into it from another machine?
[19:47] <popey> or switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F1
[19:47] <Guest1399> No its frozen
[19:48] <Guest1399> Black screen with freezed underscore
[19:48] <Guest1399> It it standing like this for 10 mins now
[19:48] <Guest1399> I guess i will reboot
[19:48] <popey> no disk light flashing?
[19:49] <Guest1399> No only power and wifi
[19:50] <Guest1399> I hope it will continue upgrade if i.reboot
[19:50] <flocculant> I'm surprised you got to 80%
[19:51] <Guest1399> Yes it was on pkg install step and was near end
[19:51] <Guest1399> Now i get purple background and capslock flashing
[19:52] <popey> ah, proper crasheroony
[19:52] <popey> personally
[19:52] <popey> I would reboot but into recovery mode
[19:52] <popey> drop to a root shell and "mount -o remount,ro /" and "dpkg --configure -a"
[19:53] <Guest1399> I entered kernel 4 recovery mode should i go to kernel 3?
[19:54] <popey> latest
[19:55] <Guest1399> Kernel 4 = unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)
[19:55] <Guest1399> So i try with 3
[19:55] <popey> erk
[19:55] <popey> maybe it was mid way through installing the kernel
[19:55] <popey> who knows.
[19:56] <popey> but the old one should work okay
[19:59] <Guest1399> I just loged to my system wit kernel 3 and i got log in screen says ubuntu 16.04
[19:59] <popey> expected
[19:59] <popey> now do the remount and dpkg...
[19:59] <popey> to let it finish the upgrade
[19:59] <popey> should be okay
[20:01] <Guest1399> Started dpkg --configure -a
[20:14] <Hadron2> Howdy, all.
[20:15] <Hadron2> Has anyone installed 16.04 Server for testing yet?
[20:16] <Hadron2> I tried to install it this afternoon, using both the CDIMAGE, and the netboot image.
[20:17] <Hadron2> The CDIMAGE requires an internet connection. It doesn't seem to want to install from the image. The netboot image is missing the INSTALL initrd.
[20:17] <Hadron2> Using the regular image, it seem the kernel modules are missing from the repository. Complains about "no modules available".
[22:37] <dasjoe> Hi, reconfiguring tzdata seems to overwrite /etc/timezone instead of reading it. On an unconfigured system this would revert /etc/timezone to "Etc/UTC": echo "Europe/Berlin" > /etc/timezone; dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive tzdata
