Daekdroom | Does firefox --new-instance not work in Ubuntu? (that is, throw an error message instead of opening a new instance of Firefox) | 00:26 |
---|---|---|
squinty | seems to work here | 00:44 |
Daekdroom | squinty, does it work when you have an instance running already? | 01:28 |
squinty | Daekdroom, no, a window appears saying to shutdown the already running instance | 01:32 |

heshers | hi, im on the 4.5 kernel on Ubuntu 16.04, how do i install the new amd gfx card drivers? | 06:35 |
hiya | Would the new Ubuntu 16.04 ship with full free kernel like Debian and have Gnome by default? | 06:37 |
heshers | XD | 06:38 |
heshers | Ubuntu GNOME Edition 16.04 will | 06:38 |
heshers | but Normal is Unity 7 and 8 | 06:38 |
hiya | but no fully free kernel? | 06:40 |
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? | 06:42 |
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 | 06:43 |
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 | ? | 06:44 |
hiya | k | 06:45 |
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 | 06:48 |
hiya | ChibaPet, ok thanks | 06:57 |

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 | 11:36 |
onicrom | ive tried creating a new user entirely and it still doesnt work | 11:37 |
Fudge | yep | 11:41 |
onicrom | any idea what it might be? | 11:44 |
onicrom | google results haven't helped much | 12:13 |
BluesKaj | Hi all | 13:18 |
onicrom | had to delete a bunch of .config .gconf stuff | 13:32 |
cryptomonk | hello | 13:41 |
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 | 13:42 |
cryptomonk | any tips? | 13:43 |
BluesKaj | cryptomonk, you can but it's advisable to wait til the point release in june or july | 13:43 |
BluesKaj | especially for LTS releases | 13:44 |
cryptomonk | ok | 13:44 |
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 | 14:39 |
flocculant | foormea: it's pretty much stable for me - though of course different flavours might be in a different state | 14:43 |
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 | 14:44 |
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 | 14:45 |

NoCode | Is pulseaudio-equalizer enabled in this pre-release, or this upcoming release? | 14:56 |
NoCode | You devs/ packagers should enable this feat. | 14:56 |
lotuspsychje | !info pulseaudio-equalizer xenial | 14:57 |
ubottu | Package pulseaudio-equalizer does not exist in 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 | 14:57 |
NoCode | I know arch has it in their repos | 14:58 |
NoCode | Or at least it is packaged for that distro. | 14:58 |
lotuspsychje | NoCode: you sure you have right packagename right? | 14:59 |

BluesKaj | vertago1, ask in #ubuntu-devel | 16:29 |
lotuspsychje | NoCode: maybe the #ubuntu-release guys might know where to start? | 16:31 |
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 | 17:06 |
ubottu | madh69: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Xenial and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 16.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade » in a terminal. | 17:06 |
madh69 | Ok thx | 17:10 |
lotuspsychje | madh69: keep in mind that final might have newer package versions | 17:10 |
madh69 | I guess i should just wait till end of april for a cleaner system? | 17:11 |
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 | 17:20 |
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 | 17:22 |
lotuspsychje | madh69: then stay on 16.04 daily until final | 17:23 |
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? | 17:24 |
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 | 17:25 |
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 | 17:26 |
madh69 | Right... dam video drivers i could always get another cheap card | 17:27 |
lotuspsychje | madh69: but that doesnt mean your system will break right, maybe all will go smooth upgrade | 17:28 |
madh69 | Yeah its just i dont want wasted diskspace from all upgrades and dependancies it will keep | 17:29 |
madh69 | ? | 17:29 |
lotuspsychje | madh69: you can cleanup your system yourself too | 17:30 |

Madhumper66 | Yeah lol | 18:06 |
Madhumper66 | U can use the talk to text option;) | 18:07 |

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? | 19:46 |
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 | 19:47 |
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? | 19:48 |
Guest1399 | No only power and wifi | 19:49 |
Guest1399 | I hope it will continue upgrade if i.reboot | 19:50 |
flocculant | I'm surprised you got to 80% | 19:50 |
Guest1399 | Yes it was on pkg install step and was near end | 19:51 |
Guest1399 | Now i get purple background and capslock flashing | 19:51 |
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" | 19:52 |
Guest1399 | I entered kernel 4 recovery mode should i go to kernel 3? | 19:53 |
popey | latest | 19:54 |
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. | 19:55 |
popey | but the old one should work okay | 19:56 |
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 | 19:59 |
Guest1399 | Started dpkg --configure -a | 20:01 |
Hadron2 | Howdy, all. | 20:14 |
Hadron2 | Has anyone installed 16.04 Server for testing yet? | 20:15 |
Hadron2 | I tried to install it this afternoon, using both the CDIMAGE, and the netboot image. | 20:16 |
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". | 20:17 |
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 | 22:37 |
