Oderushi. anyone know how to make window decorations for kubuntu 16.04 or how i could go about making a theme? Thanks in advance.02:23
sythFinal releases dosent have major changes ryt?05:02
lotuspsychjesyth: we not in final yet05:03
lotuspsychjesyth: and a lot of new changes in xenial already05:03
sythYes ,i installed 16.04 + updated kernel to 4.6 r305:04
lotuspsychjesyth: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes05:05
sythI saw05:05
SwedeMikesyth: 16.04 is currently in last phases of testing etc, so no, if 16.04 works for you now, then the final 16.04 release won't have much changes.05:05
sythYeah ,thats why i asked05:06
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: still few changes to come..like launcher to bottom setting in unity control center05:06
sythBut these sound very minor05:06
lotuspsychjealot of stuff fixed under the hood05:07
syth4 days for final release05:07
SwedeMikelotuspsychje: I seem to recall seeing an email that 16.04 was in frozen state?05:07
sythYou know what frozen means? SwedeMike05:08
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: yes, but that doesnt mean nothing will change05:08
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: even after final you will receive updates right05:08
SwedeMikelotuspsychje: sre.05:09
SwedeMikesure.05:09
SwedeMikesyth: it usually means any changes will have to pass some kind of person for approval before it goes in.05:09
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: and found bugs after final, will also get fixed when critical05:10
sythDevelopment hault at a certain stage05:10
lotuspsychjehttp://lotuspsychje.deviantart.com/05:13
lotuspsychjemy xenial boxes05:13
SwedeMikelotuspsychje: I never said nothing would change. I said "won't have much changes".05:15
SwedeMikelotuspsychje: bug fixes happen until release is end of support, that is well known.05:15
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: no sweat mate05:16
SwedeMikebut I would imagine syth wondered about major visible changes.05:16
sythYeah05:16
lotuspsychjenot all changes are visible05:16
lotuspsychjexenial still looks like trusty right05:16
sythThats true05:16

SwedeMikeI wish there was a supported procedure to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit system without re-install.05:34
SwedeMike... and that was user friendly.05:34
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: i hear 32bit iso's are going to fade away05:35
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5018/is-it-possible-to-upgrade-from-a-32bit-to-a-64bit-installation05:41
SwedeMikelotuspsychje: I can also google. I have read 5-8 guides. None of them are safe or user friendly.05:43
SwedeMikeI tried this on debian 5-8 years back and failed, twice.05:43
lotuspsychjeSwedeMike: yeah i guess its not really recommended either05:45
SwedeMikebut yes, no reason to run 32bit nowadays, 64bit works well. Back in 2010, there were still some software that wasn't available in 64bit and caused headaches05:47
lotuspsychjeyep05:47
sythNeed some help here05:49
lotuspsychjesyth: shoot05:49
sythI installed 4.6 rc3 but its modules were not installed properly so it didn't boot so i thought I'll  delete it  via synaptic but it dosent show 4.6 kernel version in the list05:50
sythhttp://imgur.com/aEBEqZI05:52
SwedeMikesyth: how did you install it?05:55
sythI downloaded tarball extracted  and compiled05:57
sythThen i did update grub05:57
SwedeMikesyth: that doesn't install any package, so you can't remove it that way.05:58
SwedeMikeif you did make install from a regular linux kernel tarball05:59
sythOh yeah see this06:00
sythhttp://imgur.com/VajdduT06:00
sythSwedeMike but it says current kernel version is 4.5.106:01
sythSo how do i remove skeleton of my 4.6 kernel ?06:02
sythSwedeMike http://imgur.com/8SIZieF06:06
SwedeMikeyou need to edit the grub config. You've installed kernel in non-ubuntu way so you need to remove it using non-ubuntu way.06:07
sythDamn the kernel 4.5.1 doesn't even show as installed but when i run uname -r it shows 4.5.106:13
sythWhat should i do now06:13
SwedeMikeyou need to understand how grub works.06:13
SwedeMikeand how to configure it.06:13
SwedeMikeand what happens when you do "make install" on a linux kernel tarball06:14
sythCan you link me something?06:14
lotuspsychje!mainline06:14

lotuspsychje!zfs12:04
ubottuFor information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS12:04
gregflotuspsychje: this doesn't really answer my question12:06
gregfi was under the impression zfs was a install option on 16.04 and its not the filesystem list when I go to install it12:07
gregfmaybe I miss understood though12:07
lotuspsychjegregf: for what i understand of it, 16.04 would have better support for zfs..not sure of the procedure myself12:07
BluesKajgregf, http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/zfs-filesystem-will-be-built-into-ubuntu-16-04-lts-by-default/12:11
gregfok so  you still gotta manually make your zpools and deb-bootstrap it12:13
BluesKajzfs afaik is mainly meant for using containers like docker etc , if you don't intend to use contaibers then there's not much of an advanatage12:13
lotuspsychje:p12:16
BluesKajif ubuntu 16.04 id going to force users to use a zfs parition, that makes the install process more irregular than other OSs and perhaps complicate matters for support .12:19
BluesKajscuse the typos , once again12:19
Break_Hey guys. When I try to install Ubuntu 16.04 Daily build (DL yesterday) it goes almost to the end and then an installer disappears. When trying to boot nothing happens. Any tips?12:44
lotuspsychjeBreak_: try again with a beta2 iso or so12:45
lotuspsychjeBreak_: until final, things can still break12:45
Break_I am not sure if I can install Beta 2 and do an upgrade to latest daily build? Beta 2 installs fine but I would like to test the DB if possible.12:45
lotuspsychjeBreak_: you can update the beta2 to current12:46
lotuspsychje!final | Break_12:46
ubottuBreak_: 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.12:46
Break_aha ok will try that.12:47
Break_thx12:47

ThePendulum'lo21:25
ThePendulumAnyone experienced issues with a dual screen setup? My 2nd Dell is very briefly reporting an error saying "Input timing is not supported", or something along those lines, and the screen remains black21:26

ThePendulum_any way to enable or configure that?21:42
k1lconfigure what?21:43
ThePendulum_amdgpu or radeon, I'm not sure what's going on, it seems like the 2nd display is working fine according to Ubuntu, but the display itself says it's getting the wrong signal21:43
k1lits a kernel driver now. you dont need to install it. the kernel should load it when needed.21:44
k1lsee the monitor settings in your desktops systemsettings21:44
ThePendulum_there's not really an awful lot there to tweak21:44
ThePendulum_even when mirrored one works and the other doesn't21:46
ThePendulum_meh, I wonder whether this issue persists with the release21:48
ThePendulum_woo I got it to work, let me see21:58
ThePendulum_Does anyone happen to know where the various display modes xrandr shows are actually configured?22:01
ThePendulum_really weird it's just 1 display having trouble22:05
TJ-ThePendulum_: in memory22:11
ThePendulum_right22:11
ThePendulum_well this is inconvenient22:12
TJ-ThePendulum_: X RandR auto-configures with the best resolution. Depending on the session/desktop, the settings may be retained in a file under $HOME/.config/ or similar22:12
ThePendulum_hmwell, I'd have to configure it to use one of the lower res modes, which I'm not going to do22:13
ThePendulum_I have no idea why it just goes black22:13
ubuntu488I'm starting to get a bit... impatient. Since I still feel I should wait till it finishes, does the current build seem to have any real issues?23:27
