[00:54] <Guest4702> two major bugs in Xubuntu 16.04: 1) wifi dies after suspend, have to reboot to get it back, and 2) cursor disappears after a suspend. Anyone else experience this, and discover fixes?
[01:45] <Guest27662> Hi there - in 16.04 wifi dies after suspend, and the cursor disappears too. Any fixes for these bugs?
[02:41] <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"
[02:42] <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)
[02:52] <GeekDude> Xubuntu16Errors: Is this before or after the menu asking if you want to try it, install it, boot from first hard disk, etc?
[02:55] <Xubuntu16Errors> both
[02:57] <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.
[02:58] <Xubuntu16Errors> Also, I created the flash drive using dd
[03:02] <Xubuntu16Errors> Also this is the Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit version if that counts.
[03:39] <Xubuntu16Errors> Anyone have similar issues?
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <Xubuntu16Errors> Haven't done a checksum (I will google how to do that) but yes it works in VM
[03:53] <pavlushka> Xubuntu16Errors: md5checksum
[03:57] <Xubuntu16Errors> i used md5sum
[03:57] <Xubuntu16Errors> 368896fb3643d543b7e7757f1aaba932  xubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso
[03:59] <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?
[04:06] <Xubuntu16Errors> boots fine into windows
[04:06] <Xubuntu16Errors> and it boots fine into Bunsenlabs Linux
[04:07] <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
[04:16] <Xubuntu16Errors> I might just switch back to Xubuntu 14 then.
[06:29] <Pirat_SG> Hello
[10:06] <wyoung> fuck bazhang is a dick
[14:46] <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?
[14:48] <dzho> on the fly?
[14:48] <dzho> xubuntu18w: is this with 16.04? a new install?
[14:49] <xubuntu18w> on the fly means live via usb
[14:49] <xubuntu18w> 16.04! right
[14:50] <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.
[14:51] <dzho> do you have automatic upgrades running?
[14:51] <xubuntu18w> yes but most of the time i ignore them
[14:51] <dzho> heh
[14:52] <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?
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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 ;)
[14:56] <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.
[14:59] <dzho> an update to fix it, or an update that caused it?
[14:59] <dzho> I doubt it in either case, but who knows.
[15:38] <anonymouse1935> hi
[15:39] <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 ?
[15:42] <GeekDude> hey anonymouse1935, does this happen frequently? It happened to me once but it hasn't since
[15:43] <anonymouse1935> the cursor disappears almost everytime
[15:43] <anonymouse1935> the logging-out happens sometimes, not everytime
[15:46] <xubuntu54w> hello, had a question about xubuntu core 16.04. do mobile broadband dongles work with it out of the box?
[15:59] <krytarik> anonymouse1935: If you are referring to screen locking, please see the release notes.
[17:07] <chaitu437> hi everybody
[17:10] <cmcmanis> hi folks, is there anyone who is able to help clue me about how I might get lightdm to wake up?
[17:11] <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
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <chaitu437> hi cmcmanis... hope you get the solution
[17:15] <cmcmanis> me too, running windows 10 with the bash shell isn't quite the same
[17:17] <chaitu437> cmcmanis ... can u help me with xubuntu not shutting down??
[17:17] <cmcmanis> maybe, what are the symptoms?
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <chaitu437> i am trying to shut it down thru menu
[17:20] <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
[17:21] <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
[17:22] <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.
[17:24] <chaitu437> hi cmcmanis
[17:24] <chaitu437> the system is stuck at "Reached Target Shutdown"
[17:25] <cmcmanis> hmm
[17:25] <cmcmanis> at that point it should send the power off to ACPI
[17:26] <cmcmanis> are you up to date on your BIOS etc? What system are you running?
[17:26] <chaitu437> ok...
[17:28] <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
[17:29] <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)
[17:31] <chaitu437> how to dmesg?
[17:32] <cmcmanis> just type dmesg
[17:32] <cmcmanis> it will dump the kernels last messages
[17:33] <chaitu437> yup
[17:33] <chaitu437> done that
[17:33] <cmcmanis> usually if it is complaining about something it is in there
[17:34] <chaitu437> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16366878/
[17:34] <cmcmanis> I'm trying to figure out where the VT is encoded in the lightdm startup
[17:36] <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?
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <chaitu437> now should i pastebin ACPI code from 12.04?
[17:40] <cmcmanis> FWIW, after Sound I hate power management on Linux second most :-)
[17:41] <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
[17:42] <cmcmanis> sure
[17:42] <chaitu437> but sorry that i could not help you out in anyway
[17:42] <chaitu437> thanks again
[17:43] <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
[23:18] <Droolboy> hey
[23:19] <Droolboy> anyone know how to insall amd drivers for a dell 3541
[23:19] <Droolboy> ???
[23:21] <xangua> What drivers?
[23:22] <xangua> Oh amd, you should open the update manager settings and see if it offers you to install them
[23:56] <kzrgr> is there any official guide on installing & customising compton on xubuntu?
[23:56] <kzrgr> or is it better to use compiz? (meeh)
