| glass | anyone else experiencing intermittent USB power cycles? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ouroumov | glass: please tell me more | 00:01 |
| glass | well for about three days now - when ever my screensaver comes on i have to unplug my mouse and plug it back in to get it to work | 00:01 |
| glass | my num lock key and usualy the first key i press after that go out on keyboard randomly | 00:02 |
| glass | i thought it was the welcome screen but i turned that off and it still does it | 00:02 |
| ouroumov | What version of Ubuntu MATE are you using? | 00:03 |
| glass | 16.04 | 00:03 |
| ouroumov | Up to date? | 00:03 |
| glass | yes | 00:03 |
| ouroumov | I've noticed an issue with some USB3 ports on my machines but I'm not sure if it's the same thing | 00:03 |
| glass | what is it doing for you? | 00:03 |
| ouroumov | I don't have problems with mouse / keyboard, just external drives | 00:04 |
| glass | see i have tried every USB port on this box and its the same | 00:04 |
| ouroumov | External USB3 drives get unmounted / remounted when I do I/O :/ | 00:04 |
| ouroumov | glass, even your USB2 ports? | 00:04 |
| glass | my flash drives dont do that but i dont have a external HDD | 00:05 |
| glass | yes | 00:05 |
| ouroumov | Do you know what login screen you see when you get back from screensaver? Is it the screensaver lock screen or the lightdm login screen? | 00:06 |
| ouroumov | Also, do you know whether: 1. Your mouse doesn't work - 2. It works but you can't see the cursor | 00:07 |
| fifty-sevenC | I think someone said it started with a libc yodate | 00:08 |
| fifty-sevenC | update | 00:08 |
| glass | i have tested it with lightDM (?) and the screensaver lockscreen disabled | 00:08 |
| ouroumov | glass, I'm asking 'cause if it's just your mouse cursor that disappears, it might be related to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568604 | 00:08 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1568604 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics" [High,Confirmed] | 00:08 |
| glass | no it does not disappear i can turn it over and there is no power to it | 00:08 |
| ouroumov | hm | 00:09 |
| glass | but for the above line of text and this line i have had to hit the keys a few times for the board to work | 00:09 |
| glass | i have even switched board and mouse | 00:09 |
| ouroumov | That's just weird | 00:10 |
| glass | i mean to be honest i can live with it but mate was what i suggested to everyone and if my wife jumped on here to check facebook or anything she would start telling me to put windows back =( | 00:10 |
| ouroumov | :\ | 00:10 |
| ouroumov | glass, I'm no expert so I recommend you ask about it on the Ubuntu MATE forums. You can also try asking on the channel #Ubuntu because I highly doubt such an issue would be flavor-specific. Sounds like a kernel / driver problem | 00:12 |
| glass | i had thought about upgrading to daily build and checking it | 00:12 |
| ouroumov | glass, I don't see why that would help, unless I misunderstand what a daily build is | 00:13 |
| glass | maybe my terms are wrong | 00:13 |
| glass | the 16.10 | 00:13 |
| ouroumov | What I would recommend is you hold shift down when you boot, and select an older kernel from the GRUB menu | 00:13 |
| glass | right on i will try that as soon as my download is done thanks | 00:14 |
| ouroumov | If it fixes it, there's a way to lock down your kernel version in Synaptic | 00:14 |
| glass | alright | 00:15 |
| ouroumov | Also if it fixes it, you should consider filing a bug report on Launchpad | 00:15 |
| ouroumov | And if you do that, describe your hardware with output of "lshw" because I think it's hardware specific too | 00:16 |
| glass | i am at a lost where to get any backup information for it like what would i do besides just say this is happening and i have no proof | 00:16 |
| ouroumov | glass, if USB gets powercycled it will definitively show up in the log file: /var/log/kern.log | 00:17 |
| glass | right on let me throw that up on my conky and i will watch it | 00:17 |
| ouroumov | You can monitor that log file in real time using the command: "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" in a terminal | 00:17 |
| glass | you be here for a few mins? | 00:18 |
| glass | i'll run that in terminal and then let me screensaver kick on and then come back and show you the output | 00:19 |
| ouroumov | glass, OK | 00:19 |
| ouroumov | I'm gonna have a smoke | 00:19 |
| glass | same | 00:19 |
| glass | ouroumov: you back boss? | 00:59 |
| fifty-sevenC | boss | 00:59 |
| fifty-sevenC | boss, are you there boss | 00:59 |
| glass | lol | 00:59 |
| ouroumov | I'm not the boss of anyone | 01:00 |
| ouroumov | ~~ | 01:00 |
| ouroumov | But yeah | 01:00 |
| ouroumov | Did you get interesting things from your logs? | 01:00 |
| stephen | Is anyone online? I need a little help | 01:01 |

| Guest26801 | Is anyone online? I need a little help? | 01:01 |
| ouroumov | yeah stephen / Guest26801 -- what's up? | 01:01 |
| glass | http://pastebin.com/smHiuQhH | 01:02 |
| Guest26801 | My wife just got a powersaver pro 3ds from on of her friends and i need some help finding something compatible with linux that will allow her to use the powersave | 01:02 |
| glass | a nintendo? or should i google this? | 01:03 |
| ouroumov | glass, there's nothing about USB in there, did it not happen this time? | 01:03 |
| Guest26801 | It doesn't work saying on the box compatible with all versions of windows | 01:04 |
| glass | yes it happend | 01:04 |
| glass | happened | 01:04 |
| Guest26801 | not too sure what to do. I don't want her best friend to think she wasted her money | 01:05 |
| ouroumov | glass, and is that the whole log since you've started tailing it? | 01:05 |
| glass | yes | 01:05 |
| ouroumov | glass, the only weird thing in this log is the main-menu segmentation fault | 01:05 |
| Guest26801 | Do i need to update wine or my system or install something? | 01:06 |
| glass | i noticed that also and then noticed the menu button that is in the bottom left of open suse desktop is gone | 01:06 |
| ouroumov | I'm not sure what to make of this | 01:10 |
| ouroumov | Try the older kernel, and if it doesn't help ask on the forums, I'd say :/ | 01:10 |
| glass | k thanks | 01:10 |

| festerB | any news on the screen tearing issue lately? seems I can't shake it off my system no matter what... | 13:56 |
| festerB | any news on the screen tearing issue lately? seems I can't shake it off my system no matter what... | 14:43 |
| Akuli | have you tried the available drivers? | 15:06 |
| festerB | Akuli: yeah, don't want to know how much time I've wasted on this issue alone </facepalm> ;) | 15:12 |
| Akuli | that happens a lot when you're getting started :) | 15:13 |
| festerB | like UM a lot, but the standby and tearing issues are making me look at linux lite 3 at the mo ;) | 15:13 |
| Akuli | its the same ubuntu behind the covers | 15:13 |
| Akuli | you could try ubuntu (mate) 14.04 from the live dvd without installing, i think support for some hardware was dropped in 16.04 | 15:14 |
| festerB | Akuli: not a noob, but this is the first time I've lasted 6 months on solo linux, ie. no dual boot crap | 15:14 |
| festerB | oh, running on thinkpad t440p, nvidia+intel, is that combo not supported on 16.04? | 15:15 |
| nik_ | I have a message: ata 3.0 status DRDY ERR | 15:16 |
| Akuli | festerB, thinkpads usually run non-windwos pretty well, but your problem is probably nvidia. so check the drivers, if you've already done that try 14.04 | 15:17 |
| festerB | Akuli: thx, will do | 15:18 |
| Akuli | I'm still on 14.04 | 15:18 |
| Akuli | and i'll stay on 14.04 until 2019, which is when its support ends :) | 15:18 |
| Akuli | unless i'll find another distro of course | 15:18 |
| nik_ | I think may be hardware probl/ | 15:19 |
| festerB | Akuli: yeah, I'd stay there if your standby and video is ok as is ;) | 15:19 |
| Akuli | use standby, not hibernate | 15:20 |
| nik_ | OK I will return to 14.04 !!! | 15:20 |
| Akuli | hibernate ,or suspend-to-disk, doesn't usually work that well | 15:20 |
| nik_ | OK Friends ! Tks. | 15:20 |
| nik_ | bye for now... | 15:21 |
| lasbr | Hi guys how are you? I am new to Linux and recently chose the MATE to start my studies .... however, I'm having trouble installing Guitar Pro .... some good soul could help me? : D | 15:59 |
| ouroumov_ | hi lasbr | 16:00 |
| ouroumov_ | Do you study guitar? x) | 16:00 |
| lasbr | Yes | 16:00 |
| ouroumov_ | cool | 16:00 |
| ouroumov_ | what instructions have you been following up till now to try and install Guitar Pro? (Please provide a link) - What specific error message or failure are you stumbling upon? | 16:01 |
| ouroumov_ | brb | 16:01 |
| lasbr | I think it's something wrong with the architecture, my system is x64 and the software is 32 | 16:03 |
| Akuli | is it for windows? | 16:03 |
| Akuli | you can just sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 if thats the problem | 16:03 |
| lasbr | No, it's for Linux | 16:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | lasbr: You can use tuxguitar for GP tabs | 16:08 |
| lasbr | Akuli I tested this command but nothing happens. | 16:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I didn't know there was a GP version for linux | 16:08 |
| Akuli | how is it meant to be installed? | 16:09 |
| Akuli | any instructions coming with it? | 16:09 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Reading up it looks like it depends on a few 32-bit libs | 16:17 |
| ubuntu-mate | hello | 18:09 |
| randall | hiyaz | 18:45 |
| alkisg | Hello | 18:47 |
| Langley | Help, how do I get 32 bit drivers for my AMD card? | 20:11 |
| glass | would it be under the system update > additional drivers? | 20:12 |
| Langley | Actually it seems like I already have them... But I'm getting errors about libGL with Portal 2 | 20:14 |
| Langley | If anybody knows what I can do about these errors that would be great http://paste.ubuntu.com/17377954/ | 20:14 |
| glass | no idea man dont game | 20:14 |
| ximena | hola a todos consulta como puedo obtener la mejor resolucion de la pantalla | 20:17 |

| ubuntu-mate | I have a question about Mate | 20:31 |
| ubuntu-mate | I am not sure if I want to install Mate, can I install the Mate desktop and the Unity desktop on the same machine? | 20:32 |
| randall | yes, yes can | 20:34 |
| ubuntu-mate | would it be better to install regular ubuntu and then add the mate desktop or install the mate version and install the unity desktop? | 20:34 |
| ali1234 | you probably wouldn't notice the difference | 20:36 |
| ali1234 | you'll end up with almost identical systems... maybe a couple of small differences | 20:36 |
| ubuntu-mate | ok thank you. I like mate but cant decide to commit to it. | 20:36 |
| glass | ubuntu-mate i distro hopped on all the ubuntu flavors | 20:38 |
| ubuntu-mate | will they play nice on the same machine? | 20:38 |
| glass | mate provides the most stable for my system | 20:38 |
| glass | well see something i learnt is | 20:38 |
| glass | i should have stuck with ubuntu - and then just added and removed the DE's | 20:39 |
| glass | could have saved alot of time | 20:39 |
| glass | you can put them on a flash drive and test them that way if you are unsure | 20:39 |
| ubuntu-mate | I'm thinking of a longer term testing. I've never gotten a persistance to work properly | 20:40 |
| ubuntu-mate | I might have the wrong type of flash drives for persistance | 20:41 |
| ubuntu-mate | If both can live together I can switch back and forth if I like | 20:42 |
| ubuntu-mate | Is there any difference between a DE installed after or installing right from a Mate install disk? | 20:43 |
| rahtgaz | ubuntu-mate: when I installed mate on an ubuntu-unity I had some problems. It seems the powers thaat be want the official ubuntu to stay Unity | 20:43 |
| ali1234 | different desktops don't always work properly when they are installed at the same time, but if you report it it should get fixed | 20:44 |
| rahtgaz | I don't know about ubuntu-mate + unity, though. But if You use Ubuntu Server, you will be fine installing any DEs you wish | 20:44 |
| ubuntu-mate | Interesting option. Any down side to installing the server vs desktop version? | 20:45 |
| rahtgaz | none | 20:45 |
| rahtgaz | well... | 20:45 |
| rahtgaz | you will need to install from synaptic a few more packages like codecs and such, since the server version is not focused on desktop computer usage | 20:46 |
| rahtgaz | but the repos have all that is required | 20:47 |
| ubuntu-mate | ok, great. Thanks all for the assistance. | 20:47 |
