Anon95 | I just installed Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 (x64) on my laptop. Everything went fine, but I noticed the screen goes wonky for a split-second every time I hit enter at the login screen, so I changed the drivers to the proprietary AMD drivers. Now unfortunately, the GUI doesn't boot up. | 04:45 |
---|---|---|
darkxst | Anon95, probably not installed probably | 04:46 |
Anon95 | The display remains black. I also tried going into Advanced Options > Recovery Mode and then selecting “FailsafeX” | 04:46 |
Anon95 | Well, I didn't get any errors during the process and I checked with System Monitor to see if anything was happening, because it took a bit of time, and it seemed like it was working. There was lots of network activity from what I assume would be the installer downloading the drivers. | 04:48 |
berglh | it sounds like to me the kernel headers failed to compile | 04:52 |
berglh | you can recover it by going to root shell on the recovery menu | 04:53 |
berglh | then doing something like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers | 04:53 |
berglh | Anon95: i dont' see that 15.10 is supported by the AMD driver | 04:55 |
berglh | there is a generic Linux installer, not sure if that would work | 04:56 |
Anon95 | Berglh: I'm going to try that now and report back asap | 04:56 |
berglh | http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86_64 | 04:56 |
berglh | Hmm, that driver seems to specifically say 15.10 support | 04:56 |
berglh | Which was the Linux option not the Ubuntu option at the driver selection page | 04:57 |
berglh | Hmm, it is listed | 04:57 |
berglh | Anyway, if you do try to install it, watch it really closely | 04:57 |
berglh | it will do like a DKMS build | 04:57 |
berglh | last time I tried it, it failed to build | 04:57 |
Anon95 | Perhaps something happened during the installation. Either way, I'll try what you suggested | 04:57 |
Anon95 | I'm not sure what DKMS means. | 04:58 |
berglh | but then the install finishes and leaves it half installed without the kernel header | 04:58 |
berglh | dynamic kernel module support | 04:58 |
berglh | the driver builds a module | 04:58 |
berglh | so when you start the kernel it loads the module | 04:59 |
berglh | to provide support for the graphics | 04:59 |
berglh | anyway, good luck | 04:59 |
Anon95 | Okay, I had some trouble removing it from the recovery option in GRUB, but I booted it up like I normally would and pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 and did the commands there and now I can see the GUI, but the resolution is way off | 05:05 |
Anon95 | I guess what I should do now is set the graphics driver back to the default | 05:07 |
Anon95 | Hmm, this is interesting. It seems like I can't select the X.Org driver. I'll post an imgur link below to show you what I see | 05:08 |
Anon95 | https://imgur.com/ftQzptK | 05:10 |
darkxst | Anon95, I think "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core" will get you back to defualt | 05:11 |
berglh | you may also need libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 | 05:12 |
berglh | or something | 05:13 |
Anon95 | Alright. After It's done updating (https://imgur.com/dARzlla), I'll do just that | 05:14 |
darkxst | berglh, pretty sure its just libGL.so that gets mess up by installing proprietry drivers | 05:22 |
berglh | oh, intersting | 05:22 |
darkxst | that is why NVidia invented libGLVND | 05:23 |
darkxst | it will once implemented allow multiple GL implemtations to co-exist on your install | 05:24 |
Anon95 | Alright. After running sudo apt-get update multiple times and then running “sudo apt-get purge "fglrx.*",” it now has resorted back to normal and I can confirm in Additional Drivers, that it is using the default X.Org drivers | 05:31 |
Anon95 | Here's the link to the answer I followed: http://askubuntu.com/a/68312 | 05:32 |
darkxst | Anon95, that is the conservative approach, you just need to make sure mesa rewrites libGL.so, and I am pretty sure that oneliner I gave you before is enough for that (from memory) | 05:48 |

LaserAllan | hey guys, I just switched to ubuntu-gnome and i am wondering if there is a way to change the UI so that I for example can have a better view of what I have opened?, kinda like Linuxmint,I also wonder where i might be able to change the borders around iwndows | 10:16 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, the window borders are part of the gtk theme | 10:19 |
darkxst | UI changes require extensions | 10:20 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: Ok, even if i want to change the borders on the windows? | 10:31 |
LaserAllan | I am currently on a quite low res screen so the border is quite big | 10:31 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, yes its all part of the gtk theme (As of about a year ago) | 10:32 |
darkxst | just find another theme you like, I guess | 10:32 |
LaserAllan | Ok, so it is that easy to change theme? | 10:33 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, use gnome-tweak-tool (you need to find the theme first) but otherwise yeh | 10:34 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: Ok thanks, I am very new to Ubuntu GNOME, ive only used Ubuntu Server LTS before | 10:34 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: I have to say though that Ubuntu GNOME isn't too bad :) | 10:45 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, just not too bad? | 10:46 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: So far I've had some issues since i installed it on this old laptop but i wasn't really expecting anything different really. I think I just need time to get used to the userinterface :) | 10:47 |
darkxst | yeh its a bit different | 10:48 |
LaserAllan | that's what I am trying to get used to but all in allit feels allot better than Windows which prior to me switching to Linux on this laptop barely ran at all | 10:49 |
LaserAllan | So in terms of that it's an enormous difference | 10:49 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, i tried win 10 out the other day, its a mish-mash of a mess! | 10:50 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: Indeed, but what I like about is the interface and window management but that is pretty much it | 10:52 |
LaserAllan | and Its still sadly the best alternative for gaming | 10:52 |
LaserAllan | I really hope Linux gets a push the next few years | 10:52 |
darkxst | plenty of games on steam linux | 10:53 |
darkxst | also some big publishers holding out on linux support | 10:53 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: Yeah I know but specific hardware setups for example, I have multiple GPUs which as far as I know SLI isn't suported on linux or is it? | 10:53 |
LaserAllan | Yeah thats a shame | 10:53 |
darkxst | nvidia SLI is supported, but most games don't support it | 10:54 |
darkxst | but I don't have time for games, spend my spare time fixing bugs | 10:55 |
darkxst | so you kids can have a fun Ubuntu GNOME experience! | 10:55 |
LaserAllan | Oh, well I know for a fact that DX12 isn't:P, most games don't support that fully yet. It also seems like most games have higher system requirements on linux | 10:55 |
LaserAllan | Haha | 10:55 |
darkxst | Vulkan! | 10:55 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: I really hope Vulkan gets as widely adopted as it should be becuase then Liinux will be a reality to just ditch Windows completely. I think the only thing id ever use windows for then is photoshop. | 10:56 |
darkxst | I suspect it will, but probably over the next year or two | 10:58 |
LaserAllan | oh and darkxstI had some issues with "apt" when id installed GNOME last night. It was something that was fixable and I am having some issues getting Xymon to play along but other than that I am imprssed and whats even better is no DAMN BLOATWARE :) | 10:58 |
darkxst | what issues? | 10:59 |
darkxst | details are important! | 11:00 |
darkxst | "I had some issue" is useless to us | 11:00 |
LaserAllan | Ofc | 11:00 |
LaserAllan | It had something to do gtk I suspect the UI?, it was fixable though lemme see if i can find the notes i took of it :) | 11:01 |
darkxst | apt doesnt have a UI though | 11:01 |
LaserAllan | darkxst: http://pastebin.com/ry48uZTm | 11:02 |
LaserAllan | thats the issue I get when i try to install xymon | 11:03 |
darkxst | that is a bug in their packaging | 11:03 |
darkxst | and since I don't even know what xymon is, its officially not my problem! | 11:04 |
darkxst | file a bug against their project | 11:04 |
LaserAllan | I will | 11:05 |
LaserAllan | Sorry, I just thought you might know what it might be causing it | 11:06 |
LaserAllan | xymon is a surveillance tool for servers but its nice to have on any Linux machine becuase it checks updates and allot of other things and it can then mail you when/if it finds a problem. I have it mostly to monitor connections and certain processes on my servers. | 11:07 |
LaserAllan | Really easy and nice to use | 11:07 |
darkxst | LaserAllan, its a bug in their packaging | 11:09 |
darkxst | and with that | 11:09 |
* darkxst sleeps | 11:09 | |

johnjohn101 | after 16.04 is released, how soon will 3.20.x be available on ubuntu-gnome? | 15:14 |
ricotz | johnjohn101, if you insist you can use the gnome3-staging ppa for some 3.20 bits which is considered unstable at this point | 15:59 |
johnjohn101 | i'm not really interested in unstable. | 16:00 |
ricotz | your question pretty much suggested so, if you are implicitly referring to 16.10 dev-cycle | 16:02 |
johnjohn101 | i guess i can wait until 16.10 alpha 2 or beta | 16:04 |
ricotz | jfyi gnome3-staging won't be fully endorsed at any point, annoying issues are subject to be fixed though | 16:04 |
johnjohn101 | i'm enjoying 15.10 ubuntu gnome btw! will upgrade next week | 16:05 |
ricotz | great, have fun | 16:06 |
Arnex | Couple of questions: Will Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 release on or around April 21st (along with regular Ubuntu)? Also, is there a webpage with information specifically on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04? | 18:21 |
