nelsk | If I install the 16.04 beta 2 and update/upgrade -- will that just roll me into the full release when it's finished? | 00:29 |
nelsk | Or do I have to do anything special to upgrade to the full version? | 00:29 |

ubottu | 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. | 00:33 |

pavlushka | lotuspsychje: The Jatiya (National) Keyboard Layout support for Bengali Language has been removed in Xubuntu 16.04 Beta which was there in Xubuntu 16.04 Alpha. I dont know if it's same about Ubuntu. | 06:11 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: file a bug before next weeks release perhaps | 06:12 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: did you test this on daily iso also? | 06:12 |
pavlushka | yes | 06:12 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: i see bengali language in 16.04 daily? | 06:14 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: india,baishaki,bornona,... | 06:15 |
pavlushka | like to add, I was using this layout in Ubuntu from the very beginning, like 9.04-9.10 though i started with 8.04. | 06:15 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: bengali(india) is the layout you need? | 06:15 |
pavlushka | no Bengali(Bangladesh) | 06:16 |
lotuspsychje | i dont see bangladesh | 06:16 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: test again with a daily iso from the topic url | 06:18 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: i see a whole list for bengali.. | 06:18 |
pavlushka | okay I am sending you a link of screenshot, give me a minuts. | 06:20 |
lotuspsychje | k | 06:21 |
pavlushka | lotuspsychje: Oh I am using yesterdays iso, and the link is http://imgur.com/PmwwLPR | 06:49 |
flocculant | pavlushka: so - the same as was available in 15.10 > http://i.imgur.com/fV4VB6X.png | 06:51 |
lotuspsychje | pavlushka: i have more sub-layouts for bengali.. | 06:51 |
flocculant | lotuspsychje: I don't - -on xubuntu | 06:52 |
lotuspsychje | oh | 06:53 |
lotuspsychje | right im on ubuntu-desktop here sorry | 06:53 |
flocculant | lotuspsychje: yea I assumed | 06:53 |
flocculant | 14.04 is the same here just for completeness sake | 06:53 |
lotuspsychje | perhaps you guys should bug that | 06:54 |
lotuspsychje | we want all languages available on all flavors right? | 06:54 |
pavlushka | flocculant: a late yes for http://i.imgur.com/fV4VB6X.png | 06:57 |
pavlushka | flocculant: I am in mess. | 06:57 |
lotuspsychje | isnt there like a language pack you can download after xubuntu install? | 07:00 |
pavlushka | yes I have. | 07:02 |
pavlushka | lotuspsychje: but revealing a funny secrete, the probhat keyboard layout was actually was National Layout before but now its actually probhat layout, becaouse I was using that probhat layout for typing in xubuntu xenial alpha. | 07:05 |
pavlushka | means probhat keyboard layout was not what it should be in actual. | 07:06 |
pavlushka | now it is. | 07:06 |
lotuspsychje | i really suggest a !bug pavlushka | 07:06 |
pavlushka | and now the Bengali National Layout is gone, and yes I am filing the bug. | 07:07 |
pavlushka | lotuspsychje: sorry, but under which package i will file the bug? | 07:10 |
flocculant | pavlushka: do you have ibus installed? | 07:10 |
flocculant | you won't by default | 07:10 |
pavlushka | flocculant: no. | 07:11 |
flocculant | try installing that then | 07:11 |
flocculant | ubuntu has it | 07:11 |
lotuspsychje | !info ibus | pavlushka tnx2 flocculant | 07:11 |
ubottu | pavlushka tnx2 flocculant: ibus (source: ibus): Intelligent Input Bus - core. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.11-1ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 212 kB, installed size 1360 kB | 07:11 |
pavlushka | flocculant: but it was working without that even in alpha | 07:12 |
flocculant | pavlushka: maybe so | 07:12 |
pavlushka | I know about idbus. | 07:12 |
pavlushka | I know about ibus. | 07:12 |
pavlushka | I am an ubuntu user still. | 07:13 |
pavlushka | flocculant: but funny thing is the probhat keyboard layout was actually National before beta release and now its actually probhat layout. | 07:15 |
pavlushka | Our National (Jatiya is gone.) | 07:15 |
pavlushka | flocculant: just if you like to know, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengali_input_methods | 07:18 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: what kind of graphics card chipset? | 07:19 |
ToeSnacks | Nvidia GTX980Ti | 07:19 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: you could try to get in with nomodeset perhaps | 07:20 |
lotuspsychje | !nomodeset | ToeSnacks | 07:20 |
ubottu | ToeSnacks: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 07:20 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: then install an nvidia driver | 07:21 |
ToeSnacks | Thanks I will give that a try | 07:21 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: perhaps nvidia-352 | 07:21 |
ToeSnacks | Any idea why this would be an issue for the final install if the USB stick boots without issue? | 07:22 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: its not final release yet, things can still break | 07:23 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: and even after the final, new bugs will occur | 07:23 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: you can also try a latest daily .iso instead of beta2 as a test | 07:24 |
ToeSnacks | Alright thanks | 07:24 |
flocculant | pavlushka: so your issue is really that probhat is now probhat and not whatever you say it was before? | 07:24 |
pavlushka | lol, yes! | 07:24 |
flocculant | pavlushka: just report that I guess - not sure what package tbh - keyboard-configuration perhaps, that's what I would it against at lease | 07:25 |
pavlushka | flocculant: copy. | 07:25 |
ToeSnacks | lotuspsychje: I just hard reset the box and the screen is not black I just hangs on a purple blank screen pre grub | 07:25 |
flocculant | but - it must be a generic *buntu issue, not Xubuntu as we have the same probhat layout as ubuntu | 07:26 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: can you F1 to see text boot errors? | 07:26 |
ToeSnacks | Nothing happens, let me reset again. | 07:26 |
pavlushka | And flocculant : these two bug returned, bug #1567516, bug #1556531 | 07:28 |

ToeSnacks | Got into grub this time and tried adding the nomodeset to the launch string and it's hanging at loading initial ramdisk | 07:29 |
lotuspsychje | ouch | 07:29 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: you could try entering recoverymode/terminal and install nvidia-352 perhaps | 07:30 |
ToeSnacks | Loading into recovery let me in | 07:31 |
ToeSnacks | I'll try the driver now | 07:31 |
ToeSnacks | Thank you for your help | 07:32 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: lets hope it gets fixxed | 07:32 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: did you install with internet/updates/3rd party software enabled during setup? | 07:33 |
ToeSnacks | I did once and it didn't work so I reinstalled without just to check | 07:35 |
ToeSnacks | So currently no | 07:35 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: its recommended to enable updates during setup | 07:36 |
lotuspsychje | so ubuntu can find best driver | 07:36 |
ToeSnacks | Yeah I always do that but it failed with those options enabled as well | 07:37 |
ToeSnacks | So I was trying to see if there was a corrupt package coming from the newest branch | 07:37 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: would also be good to test a todays daily iso | 07:38 |
ToeSnacks | Also important info I failed to mention is I'm using lvm and full disk encryption | 07:39 |
lotuspsychje | oh | 07:39 |
lotuspsychje | ToeSnacks: dont know very much on lvm myself | 07:39 |
lotuspsychje | !lvm | 07:40 |

ToeSnacks | I feel the issue may be the decryption prompt | 07:40 |
lotuspsychje | could be | 07:40 |
ToeSnacks | Where I enter the drive password | 07:40 |
ToeSnacks | Cause dropping to recovery then entering the password then resuming normal boot works | 07:41 |
ToeSnacks | Running a full dist upgrade now to see if it helps | 07:43 |
lotuspsychje | kk | 07:44 |
lotuspsychje | g4143: always backup before upgrade ok | 07:46 |

petersaints | Hi guys. Has anyone experienced sleep issues with 16.04? It worked well on 15.10, but once I upgraded to 16.04 sleep stopped working. I mean, when I try to suspend the screen turns off but my laptop's power indicator remains one and the fans keep spinning. Has anyone else experienced a similar behavior? | 10:41 |
BluesKaj | Heyas all | 10:51 |
freaj | hey BluesKaj! | 10:53 |
BluesKaj | Hi freaj | 10:54 |
spidla | Hello everyone, anyone having problem with connecting to PPTP VPNs through network-manager. pppd crashing with error 11 since yesterday or maybe today updates (not sure). | 11:05 |
BluesKaj | pptp, hmm old and unstable | 11:07 |
spidla | Hmm, yeah but still used a lot. Was working with no problems until now. | 11:09 |
=== Nach0z_ is now known as Nach0z | ||
brianx | iirc, pptp vpns have the same congestion issues that ssh tunnels do. tcp inside tcp is never good. | 11:20 |
brianx | works fine untill things get busy. | 11:21 |
spidla | Allright, I am glad I have started a discussion about PPTP reliability. :-) But let`s get back to the original question. Why is pppd crashing in Ubuntu 16.04 since maybe 1-2 days ago. | 11:37 |
freaj | spidla: was it crashing before? Does it crash at start? after some time? Only when you download a lot? | 11:44 |
freaj | petersaints: Hi, is it a laptop? | 11:45 |
spidla | freaj: It is a laptop. It crashes when I click network manager and I choose to connect PPTP-based VPN. All other VPNs (IPsec, OpenVPN) are doing fine. No VPNs are started after laptop startup. | 12:03 |
spidla | freaj: pppd never crashed before | 12:03 |
spidla | freaj: Network manager show notification message that VPN has been stopped. In syslog I found, that pppd segfaulted | 12:04 |
freaj | have you upgraded pppd recently? | 12:05 |
freaj | In 16.04 this might be why it is crashing: a buggy update | 12:05 |
spidla | Not sure if I updated exactly pppd, buggy update is highly possible. | 12:06 |
spidla | I just found better description of segfault. It is saying something about error in nm-pptp-pppd-plugin.so | 12:07 |
spidla | So it is maybe network manager error. | 12:07 |
spidla | .. which in the end crashes pppd. | 12:07 |
freaj | It might be either the applet or the daemon | 12:08 |
freaj | Can you check in your /var/log/apt/history.log if it has been upgraded recently? | 12:09 |
spidla | Yeah that is what I am doing now :-) | 12:09 |
freaj | okay | 12:09 |
spidla | Found It. network-manager-pptp upgraded yesterday | 12:10 |
spidla | Maybe I can fallback to previous version. | 12:10 |
freaj | Hmm | 12:10 |
spidla | It has upgraded from 1.0.8 to 1.1.93. Seems like a big jump. | 12:10 |
freaj | I don't really know about ubuntu, is there a cached .deb version in /var/cache/? | 12:11 |
freaj | Oh, there is! | 12:11 |
freaj | spidla: try to look into /var/cache/apt/archives/ for the .deb file | 12:11 |
freaj | And then "dpkg -i [your_file] | 12:12 |
spidla | Good idea, however only newest version is present in the folder. | 12:12 |
freaj | haha | 12:13 |
freaj | I don't know how to find an older version in ubuntu as well.. maybe you can check in an outdated repo :P | 12:14 |

lotuspsychje | Osirus126: whats it for exactly? | 14:46 |

Osirus126 | lotuspsychje, a google search shows it is in the arch arm repos but i dont know how i can install that under ubuntu mate | 14:46 |
Osirus126 | Cyna, it is called "kodi-rbp" | 14:46 |

Osirus126 | lotuspsychje, how would i add that archive to my sources list? | 15:01 |
Cyna | Whats the problem : finding the report address or adding it to the sources list ? | 15:01 |
Osirus126 | lotuspsychje, the link you gave me is the closest ive been to success so far | 15:01 |
Cyna | Repo* | 15:01 |
Osirus126 | Cyna, i was having trouble finding the address.. i know how to add it to sources list once i have it, but i was under the assumption that it wouldnt work because arch uses pacman instead of apt-get | 15:03 |

nath5 | hello, I tried to install gnome shell on 16.04 using the instructions found here http://askubuntu.com/questions/614657/install-gnome-desktop-ubuntu-15-04 when I logged in everything was really zoomed in and very unstable. Are there newer instructions for 16.04 | 20:18 |
ardhipoetra | howdy, is the release candidate out yet? | 21:17 |
croberts | when do we get the fancy looking unity i think unity 8 | 21:21 |
k1l | !unity8 | croberts | 21:22 |
ubottu | croberts: Unity8 is the next Unity Desktop running on Mir. It is already used on the smartphones running ubuntu-touch (!touch) and can be tested on the Desktop with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC | 21:22 |

qell__ | Hello! I just installed 16.04, and I'm working on a AMD-Radeon equipped laptop. I understand that the proprietary drivers are no longer supported, but I can't find the open ones! THe ubuntu drivers utility doesn't list drivers for the graphic card | 22:57 |
nacc | qell__: because it's shipped with kernel, right? | 22:59 |
nacc | qell__: lhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx | 22:59 |
nacc | err ignore that first l :) | 23:00 |
qell__ | oh is it? ok but.. | 23:00 |
qell__ | i've tried using the radeontop utility and it says "no gpu detected" | 23:00 |
nacc | qell__: well, via radeon & amdgpu aiui; which should show up in `lsmod`, i think? | 23:01 |
qell__ | honestly (I know this is not supposed to be a support channel for newbies but...) I don't know how to check if my GPU is being used and through which driver | 23:01 |
nacc | qell__: can you see if `lsmod` indicates either of those modules are loaded (radeon or amdgpu) ? | 23:02 |
qell__ | amdkfd and amd_iommu_v2 are listed | 23:02 |
qell__ | also radeon, right! | 23:03 |
nacc | qell__: yeah so the version of hw you have determines which driver gets loaded, aiui | 23:03 |
nacc | so radeon being loaded is fine | 23:03 |
qell__ | perfect. But is there an utility to check if it's working? | 23:04 |
nacc | qell__: i have no idea, sorry :) | 23:04 |
qell__ | thank you anyway! | 23:06 |
