[12:58] <feneco> hi,  I'm using ubuntu-gnome 16.04 lts, when it boots, grub doesn't show any options, just a grey screen
[12:58] <feneco> any ideas about what it could be?
[14:20] <damien__> hello adrian
[14:22] <jbicha> feneco: did you hold down the Shift key when booting?
[14:25] <damien__> Maybe feneco is having his dinner
[14:26] <damien__> Who knows
[14:31] <damien__> Maybe feneco is eating pasta an having a beer
[14:34] <damien__> peroni
[14:34] <feneco> jbicha: I didn't
[14:34] <feneco> but shouldn't it show the list of the OS by default? like ubuntu 16.04 lts?
[14:34] <damien__> you're in denial
[14:35] <damien__> lol
[14:37] <damien__> mad science history, unravelling the mystery it all started with the  big ban BANG!
[14:38] <jbicha> feneco: do you have other operating systems installed?
[14:40] <feneco> jbicha: yes, I have other on different hdds
[14:42] <feneco> not sure if there's something wrong with grub settings http://termbin.com/116i
[14:45] <damien__> hello august moon where are the stars of the night, you promised me too soon but it's been cloudy all night, and the weather man said if you're not well stay in bed. Cause i've been feeling down and blue and it's cloudy in my head! Instead of going out to a resturant ,i'll stay home instead, i'll be lovin you that's what i want to do ooh, lovin you!
[14:50] <damien__> the whole words gone "off the wall"
[14:54] <damien__> i am truly opposed to man made manipulation
[14:55] <damien__> well as you can see ;)
[14:57] <damien__> the whole worlds gone "off the wall"
[14:58] <jbicha> ricotz: ^
[15:01] <damien__> I was alone in the dark when i met you ohh ohhh ohhh oh ohhh, you took my hand and you told me you loved me ohhh ohhh oh oooh oh i was alone there was no love in my life, i was afraid cause i was hurt, the last time
[15:01] <Myrtti> could you stop?
[15:02] <damien__> in a word no
[15:02] <damien__> free world
[15:02] <Myrtti> not really
[15:02] <damien__> oh really
[15:03] <damien__> if you don't like it, then just go away
[15:04] <damien__> just some advice
[15:04] <damien__> take it or leave it
[15:08] <damien__> when the world is on your shoulder, gotta straighten up your act and boogie down, if you can't get the feeling , then their ain't no room for you this side of town! Cause we're the party people night an day livin crazy that's the only way! So tonight, gonna leave that nine to five up on  the shelf, and just enjoy, yourself!
[15:10] <damien__> Myritti Please explain yourself better, like why it is not a free world!
[15:11] <damien__> Am i bothering you if so how?
[15:11] <sej> lol
[15:11] <Myrtti> because you're in a channel that observes certain guidelines, in a network that has some guidelines too. This isn't 'free world', 'free speech' applies to govermental pre-moderation also known as censorship
[15:12] <damien__> and who put the governments in power US
[15:12] <damien__> that is who
[15:12] <sej> Myrtti: you really think this guy is for real
[15:12] <sej> kick him :P
[15:12] <ricotz> jbicha, hmmm -- feneco, did you try to update/regenerate and reinstall grub already? e.g by using update-grub
[15:12] <ricotz> dont feed the trolls
[15:12] <sej> 1
[15:12] <sej> yes
[15:13] <damien__> they are nothing but we are something
[15:13] <feneco> ricotz: no, I will try, thanks
[15:14] <jbicha> feneco: also, make sure you have your other hard drives plugged in whenever you update your kernel since that will cause grub to regenerate
[15:15] <feneco> jbicha: got it, thanks!
[23:43] <berglh> darkxst: i noticed something interesting last night
[23:43] <berglh> i'm running a MacBook Pro 11,5 with Retina display
[23:44] <berglh> been testing some kernel patches specifically for issue pertaining to halt/sleep states and brightness control in gnome
[23:44] <berglh> when i went to boot a kernel i compiled with a power patch, i had an issue starting, so i went to the recovery menu and did an fsck
[23:45] <berglh> where i'm going with this is the hidpi support for the retina
[23:45] <berglh> when i go to recovery mode, it seems to disable hidpi support completely
[23:45] <berglh> it doesn't scale the gdm login screen at all
[23:45] <berglh> it looks really nice
[23:46] <berglh> when i logged in, the activity bar and menu were all at what i'd call native ratios
[23:46] <berglh> it looked great
[23:46] <berglh> however, when i boot normally, it seems to want to scale everything up for "easier viewing"
[23:47] <berglh> i'm wonder if there is a way i can disable the hidpi support completely from gdm, i don't really want the default scaling provided
[23:49] <jbicha> berglh: I don't have a hidpi screen, but look at the org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor setting in dconf-editor
[23:51] <berglh> oh, interesting
[23:51] <darkxst> except that won't affect gdm
[23:51] <darkxst> you probably need to set it with dconf directly
[23:51] <darkxst> on the gdm user
[23:51] <jbicha> also Tweak Tool has a setting in the Fonts category
[23:52] <berglh> jbicha: yes, i find that once it's set at the gdm level though
[23:52] <berglh> i can never get any scaling settings to a native level
[23:52] <berglh> i'll try the dconf setting
[23:52] <berglh> so gdm is an actual user?
[23:52] <berglh> so it is
[23:53] <berglh> interesting
[23:53] <jbicha> that's a good question for askubuntu.com
[23:54] <jbicha> I don't think setting dconf for the gdm user is well-documented
[23:54] <jbicha> there's some hints in the System Admin guide
[23:55] <jbicha> https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/login-userlist-disable.html
[23:59] <darkxst> they are in /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults on ubuntu
