| Guest27662 | Hi there - in 16.04 wifi dies after suspend, and the cursor disappears too. Any fixes for these bugs? | 01:45 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | Hello all. I am having trouble installing Xubuntu 16.04 LTS. After booting from the flash drive, the splash screen shows up with the Xubuntu loading icon, then it changes to a black screen with a text prompt that says something like "Busybox... Initramfs" | 02:41 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | I have never encountered this problem with previous versions of Xubuntu on this Machine and this machine is pretty recent (built September of 2015) | 02:42 |
| GeekDude | Xubuntu16Errors: Is this before or after the menu asking if you want to try it, install it, boot from first hard disk, etc? | 02:52 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | both | 02:55 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | I've had that screen appear without ever seeing the menu asking if I want to try/install/boot. I've also had it appear after that menu appears and I select an option. | 02:57 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | Also, I created the flash drive using dd | 02:58 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | Also this is the Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit version if that counts. | 03:02 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | Anyone have similar issues? | 03:39 |
| GeekDude | Xubuntu16Errors: Would it be possible for you to checksum the file to verify it matches? | 03:49 |
| GeekDude | If you load the image using a virtual machine does it work properly? | 03:49 |
| GeekDude | Sorry if I'm a bit sporadic | 03:49 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | Haven't done a checksum (I will google how to do that) but yes it works in VM | 03:50 |
| pavlushka | Xubuntu16Errors: md5checksum | 03:53 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | i used md5sum | 03:57 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | 368896fb3643d543b7e7757f1aaba932 xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 03:57 |
| GeekDude | That's correct, so your file is fine | 03:59 |
| GeekDude | Is it possible your computer has just had a hardware failure, or does it still boot properly into its existing hard disks? | 03:59 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | boots fine into windows | 04:06 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | and it boots fine into Bunsenlabs Linux | 04:06 |
| GeekDude | I'd be interested to see if regular Ubuntu works | 04:07 |
| GeekDude | I really don't have any idea how to troubleshoot this issue directly | 04:07 |
| Xubuntu16Errors | I might just switch back to Xubuntu 14 then. | 04:16 |
| Pirat_SG | Hello | 06:29 |
| wyoung | fuck bazhang is a dick | 10:06 |
| xubuntu18w | hi there. my xubuntu boots but i have no wifi, no internet at all, no usb, poor graphics. on the fly with mint and ubuntu works fine. motherboard seems to be ok. is there a way to fix this? | 14:46 |
| dzho | on the fly? | 14:48 |
| dzho | xubuntu18w: is this with 16.04? a new install? | 14:48 |
| xubuntu18w | on the fly means live via usb | 14:49 |
| xubuntu18w | 16.04! right | 14:49 |
| dzho | so the problems you are seeing, you see from a live usb of xubuntu 16.04 also? | 14:50 |
| xubuntu18w | not a new install - happenend out of a sudden this morning | 14:50 |
| dzho | ugh. | 14:50 |
| dzho | sorry. | 14:50 |
| xubuntu18w | i use live usb to chat here. the problems is with my installation of xubuntu 16.04 | 14:50 |
| dzho | ok, yes, it sounds like it. | 14:50 |
| dzho | do you have automatic upgrades running? | 14:51 |
| xubuntu18w | yes but most of the time i ignore them | 14:51 |
| dzho | heh | 14:51 |
| dzho | I guess that upsets them ;-) | 14:52 |
| xubuntu18w | not very often i install upgrades | 14:52 |
| dzho | oh. | 14:52 |
| xubuntu18w | could be upsetting :) | 14:52 |
| dzho | so, it's not the case that an automatic upgrade would have done this? | 14:52 |
| xubuntu18w | could be but in particular i don't know exactly what has been upgraded yesterday... :/ | 14:53 |
| dzho | since I don't use them I wouldn't know where to tell you to look to find out, but that seems like a reasonable question to pursue | 14:53 |
| xubuntu18w | what i did uncommonly the past days i did not shut down my system. i left it stand by for a couple of days. used my system daily though. after couple of days i shut down for the first time - yesterday. since then... aerjoaerasdnfghj | 14:54 |
| xubuntu18w | i'll check it ;) | 14:54 |
| xubuntu18w | is it likely that there will be an motherboard driver update?? | 14:56 |
| xubuntu18w | to me it looks like some disfunction with the motherboard. | 14:56 |
| dzho | an update to fix it, or an update that caused it? | 14:59 |
| dzho | I doubt it in either case, but who knows. | 14:59 |

| anonymouse1935 | hi | 15:38 |
| anonymouse1935 | I have a problem with with my cursor disappearing when logging back in | 15:39 |
| anonymouse1935 | when I switch tty's to get the cursor back, I sometimes get logged out | 15:39 |
| anonymouse1935 | is there a fix ? | 15:39 |
| GeekDude | hey anonymouse1935, does this happen frequently? It happened to me once but it hasn't since | 15:42 |
| anonymouse1935 | the cursor disappears almost everytime | 15:43 |
| anonymouse1935 | the logging-out happens sometimes, not everytime | 15:43 |
| xubuntu54w | hello, had a question about xubuntu core 16.04. do mobile broadband dongles work with it out of the box? | 15:46 |
| krytarik | anonymouse1935: If you are referring to screen locking, please see the release notes. | 15:59 |

| chaitu437 | hi everybody | 17:07 |
| cmcmanis | hi folks, is there anyone who is able to help clue me about how I might get lightdm to wake up? | 17:10 |
| cmcmanis | This is an ongoing problem: Synopsis screen blanks after extended idle time, and cannot be woken up. But ctl-alt-fx works to bring up alternate term | 17:11 |
| cmcmanis | system is NUC5i7RYH with latest BIOS and Xubuntu 16.04 | 17:11 |
| cmcmanis | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16366405/ is the current process dependency tree for lightdm | 17:13 |
| cmcmanis | I can send a SIGHUP to lightdm and it will restart but that kills off any windows | 17:13 |
| chaitu437 | hi cmcmanis... hope you get the solution | 17:14 |
| cmcmanis | me too, running windows 10 with the bash shell isn't quite the same | 17:15 |
| chaitu437 | cmcmanis ... can u help me with xubuntu not shutting down?? | 17:17 |
| cmcmanis | maybe, what are the symptoms? | 17:17 |
| cmcmanis | or specifically how are you trying to shut it down? | 17:18 |
| chaitu437 | actually splash screen freezes while shutdown and i have to hard shut it down | 17:18 |
| chaitu437 | i am trying to shut it down thru menu | 17:19 |
| cmcmanis | have you pressed Ctrl-Alt-F1 when you were frozen to see if it was printing anything out? | 17:20 |
| cmcmanis | and do you have systems mounted with NFS? | 17:20 |
| chaitu437 | i have mounted NTFS | 17:20 |
| chaitu437 | i will just shut down and tell you the exact problem | 17:21 |
| cmcmanis | most of the problems I have experienced have been waiting for mounts to unmount | 17:21 |
| cmcmanis | the common error was that shutdown would turn off the network before it tried to unmount things. NAS unmounts would hang at that point. | 17:22 |
| chaitu437 | hi cmcmanis | 17:24 |
| chaitu437 | the system is stuck at "Reached Target Shutdown" | 17:24 |
| cmcmanis | hmm | 17:25 |
| cmcmanis | at that point it should send the power off to ACPI | 17:25 |
| cmcmanis | are you up to date on your BIOS etc? What system are you running? | 17:26 |
| chaitu437 | ok... | 17:26 |
| cmcmanis | if you can login on the alternate console I'd look for two things, one an error message in dmesg about "unknown ACPI option" or something, and a the shutdown waiting on a process that is stuck in a network wait | 17:28 |
| cmcmanis | I assume you have gone out for a cup of coffee and verified it doesn't actually work after 2 minutes of pausing (that would be a network timeout) | 17:29 |
| chaitu437 | how to dmesg? | 17:31 |
| cmcmanis | just type dmesg | 17:32 |
| cmcmanis | it will dump the kernels last messages | 17:32 |
| chaitu437 | yup | 17:33 |
| chaitu437 | done that | 17:33 |
| cmcmanis | usually if it is complaining about something it is in there | 17:33 |
| chaitu437 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16366878/ | 17:34 |
| cmcmanis | I'm trying to figure out where the VT is encoded in the lightdm startup | 17:34 |
| cmcmanis | hmm chaitu437 this line looks dubious : [ 0.085807] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored | 17:36 |
| cmcmanis | has it ever worked on this system? | 17:36 |
| chaitu437 | i multi boot kubuntu 12.04, slackware and now xubuntu 16.04 | 17:37 |
| cmcmanis | and at the end there it looks like its trying to talk to ACPI to send a power down and there is no entry point for power down. | 17:37 |
| chaitu437 | it is fine with the other two | 17:37 |
| chaitu437 | oh | 17:37 |
| cmcmanis | I'd look at changes in the ACPI code then between 12.04 and 16.04 | 17:38 |
| chaitu437 | it doesn't shutdown even with ubuntu 14.04 and linux mint | 17:38 |
| chaitu437 | so i did not upgrade | 17:38 |
| chaitu437 | ok | 17:38 |
| cmcmanis | so it does shut down with 12.04 but not 14.04? If so that narrows the search | 17:38 |
| chaitu437 | yes, it shuts down with 12.04 and slackware | 17:39 |
| cmcmanis | and rather than looking at the OS releases look at the kernel version | 17:39 |
| chaitu437 | newer versions of linux does not allow it to shut down | 17:39 |
| chaitu437 | oh fine | 17:39 |
| cmcmanis | it may be something in the 4.x kernel line that changed | 17:39 |
| chaitu437 | ok | 17:39 |
| chaitu437 | now should i pastebin ACPI code from 12.04? | 17:40 |
| cmcmanis | FWIW, after Sound I hate power management on Linux second most :-) | 17:40 |
| cmcmanis | I'd consider asking on LKML the question about a pointer to changes in ACPI between the 3.x and 4.x kernel lines | 17:41 |
| cmcmanis | (LKML = Linux Kernel Mailing List) | 17:41 |
| chaitu437 | oh fine | 17:41 |
| chaitu437 | thank you | 17:41 |
| cmcmanis | sure | 17:42 |
| chaitu437 | but sorry that i could not help you out in anyway | 17:42 |
| chaitu437 | thanks again | 17:42 |
| chaitu437 | bye | 17:43 |
| cmcmanis | no worries, since I can reproduce it once a day I get all morning to figure it out | 17:43 |
| chaitu437 | cool | 17:43 |
| chaitu437 | bye | 17:43 |
