[00:26] Does firefox --new-instance not work in Ubuntu? (that is, throw an error message instead of opening a new instance of Firefox) [00:44] seems to work here [01:28] squinty, does it work when you have an instance running already? [01:32] Daekdroom, no, a window appears saying to shutdown the already running instance === uaa is now known as Guest40597 [06:35] hi, im on the 4.5 kernel on Ubuntu 16.04, how do i install the new amd gfx card drivers? [06:37] Would the new Ubuntu 16.04 ship with full free kernel like Debian and have Gnome by default? [06:38] XD [06:38] Ubuntu GNOME Edition 16.04 will [06:38] but Normal is Unity 7 and 8 [06:40] but no fully free kernel? [06:42] not sure [06:42] if not, why not just install the kernel yourself? [06:42] From minimal OS ? [06:42] base ISO? [06:42] Can we do it? [06:43] you can probablly edit the base ISO, are you doing a mass install? [06:43] I am doing an individual install only [06:43] but I am a strong supporter of FSF [06:44] I love Free/Libre kernel [06:44] But Ubuntu ships with too much non-free by default [06:44] then install Ubuntu GNOME, and if the kernel is not free install another one [06:44] ? [06:45] k [06:48] 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] ChibaPet, ok thanks === Guest40597 is now known as damascene [08:41] Good morning. [11:09] anyone used xeon e3 processors on z97 successfully on linux [11:11] Fudge: you mean on xenial? [11:36] 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] ive tried creating a new user entirely and it still doesnt work [11:41] yep [11:44] any idea what it might be? [12:13] google results haven't helped much [13:18] Hi all [13:32] had to delete a bunch of .config .gconf stuff [13:41] hello [13:42] 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] rather not do 14.04->16.04 upgrade as they tend to be clunky [13:43] any tips? [13:43] cryptomonk, you can but it's advisable to wait til the point release in june or july [13:44] especially for LTS releases [13:44] ok [14:39] hi [14:39] i'm wondering whether 16.04 is already somewhat stable? [14:39] or should i expect it to be completely broken? :D [14:43] foormea: it's pretty much stable for me - though of course different flavours might be in a different state [14:44] it's certainly not completely broken [14:44] alright, cool! thanks [14:44] upgrading from 14.04 to it though IS broken [14:44] foormea: when final is released [14:45] hi [14:45] 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] well i'm on bodhi linux now, although ubuntu-based i wouldn't dare an upgrade from this :D [14:45] network is working fine, but it's annoying [14:45] !bug | saaa [14:45] saaa: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [14:47] alright thanks! have a good day [14:56] Is pulseaudio-equalizer enabled in this pre-release, or this upcoming release? [14:56] You devs/ packagers should enable this feat. [14:57] !info pulseaudio-equalizer xenial [14:57] Package pulseaudio-equalizer does not exist in xenial [14:57] It's a great thing everyone needs. [14:57] :P [14:57] NoCode: there should be a page somewhere to request packages [14:58] I know arch has it in their repos [14:58] Or at least it is packaged for that distro. [14:59] NoCode: you sure you have right packagename right? [15:00] !find equalizer [15:00] Found: ruby-equalizer [15:00] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#Load_equalizer_sink_and_dbus-protocol_module -- that' [15:00] s the arch page. [16:06] 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] vertago1, ask in #ubuntu-devel [16:31] NoCode: maybe the #ubuntu-release guys might know where to start? [17:06] 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] !final | madh69 [17:06] 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. [17:10] Ok thx [17:10] madh69: keep in mind that final might have newer package versions [17:11] I guess i should just wait till end of april for a cleaner system? [17:20] madh69: that depends what you really want? [17:20] madh69: keep in mind that 16.04 is now meant for testing, not really daily use [17:22] 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] madh69: then stay on 16.04 daily until final [17:24] 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] madh69: it will all automaticly upgrade [17:25] Will it clutter? [17:25] madh69: lol, again this stage right now can still break [17:26] madh69: so if you really want to sleep on both ears, install 16.04 clean on final [17:26] Yes but with all them upgrades will it waste alot of disk space and clutter? [17:26] madh69: nothing can beat a clean install right [17:27] Right... dam video drivers i could always get another cheap card [17:28] madh69: but that doesnt mean your system will break right, maybe all will go smooth upgrade [17:29] Yeah its just i dont want wasted diskspace from all upgrades and dependancies it will keep [17:29] ? [17:30] madh69: you can cleanup your system yourself too [17:30] !info bleachbit | madh69 [17:30] madh69: bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system.

When is the release party? [18:31] African Ground Squirrel. LOOK OUT. :D [18:31] I just googled it when I seen the topic. ;) [18:31] NoCode: Thurs, April 21 [18:31] Nice. [18:32] NoCode: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/3330-toronto-xenial-xerus-release-party/ [18:34] why is apt-build conf not working with custom cflags? [18:36] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPepCVepCg === Dragan is now known as Guest1399 [19:46] 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] can you ssh into it from another machine? [19:47] or switch to tty with CTRL+ALT+F1 [19:47] No its frozen [19:48] Black screen with freezed underscore [19:48] It it standing like this for 10 mins now [19:48] I guess i will reboot [19:48] no disk light flashing? [19:49] No only power and wifi [19:50] I hope it will continue upgrade if i.reboot [19:50] I'm surprised you got to 80% [19:51] Yes it was on pkg install step and was near end [19:51] Now i get purple background and capslock flashing [19:52] ah, proper crasheroony [19:52] personally [19:52] I would reboot but into recovery mode [19:52] drop to a root shell and "mount -o remount,ro /" and "dpkg --configure -a" [19:53] I entered kernel 4 recovery mode should i go to kernel 3? [19:54] latest [19:55] Kernel 4 = unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) [19:55] So i try with 3 [19:55] erk [19:55] maybe it was mid way through installing the kernel [19:55] who knows. [19:56] but the old one should work okay [19:59] I just loged to my system wit kernel 3 and i got log in screen says ubuntu 16.04 [19:59] expected [19:59] now do the remount and dpkg... [19:59] to let it finish the upgrade [19:59] should be okay [20:01] Started dpkg --configure -a [20:14] Howdy, all. [20:15] Has anyone installed 16.04 Server for testing yet? [20:16] I tried to install it this afternoon, using both the CDIMAGE, and the netboot image. [20:17] 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] Using the regular image, it seem the kernel modules are missing from the repository. Complains about "no modules available". [22:37] 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
