[00:00] anyone else experiencing intermittent USB power cycles? [00:01] glass: please tell me more [00:01] 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 [00:02] my num lock key and usualy the first key i press after that go out on keyboard randomly [00:02] i thought it was the welcome screen but i turned that off and it still does it [00:03] What version of Ubuntu MATE are you using? [00:03] 16.04 [00:03] Up to date? [00:03] yes [00:03] 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] what is it doing for you? [00:04] I don't have problems with mouse / keyboard, just external drives [00:04] see i have tried every USB port on this box and its the same [00:04] External USB3 drives get unmounted / remounted when I do I/O :/ [00:04] glass, even your USB2 ports? [00:05] my flash drives dont do that but i dont have a external HDD [00:05] yes [00:06] 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? [00:07] Also, do you know whether: 1. Your mouse doesn't work - 2. It works but you can't see the cursor [00:08] I think someone said it started with a libc yodate [00:08] update [00:08] i have tested it with lightDM (?) and the screensaver lockscreen disabled [00:08] 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] Launchpad bug 1568604 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor lost when unlocking with Intel graphics" [High,Confirmed] [00:08] no it does not disappear i can turn it over and there is no power to it [00:09] hm [00:09] 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] i have even switched board and mouse [00:10] That's just weird [00:10] 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] :\ [00:12] 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] i had thought about upgrading to daily build and checking it [00:13] glass, I don't see why that would help, unless I misunderstand what a daily build is [00:13] maybe my terms are wrong [00:13] the 16.10 [00:13] What I would recommend is you hold shift down when you boot, and select an older kernel from the GRUB menu [00:14] right on i will try that as soon as my download is done thanks [00:14] If it fixes it, there's a way to lock down your kernel version in Synaptic [00:15] alright [00:15] Also if it fixes it, you should consider filing a bug report on Launchpad [00:16] And if you do that, describe your hardware with output of "lshw" because I think it's hardware specific too [00:16] 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 [00:17] glass, if USB gets powercycled it will definitively show up in the log file: /var/log/kern.log [00:17] right on let me throw that up on my conky and i will watch it [00:17] You can monitor that log file in real time using the command: "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" in a terminal [00:18] you be here for a few mins? [00:19] i'll run that in terminal and then let me screensaver kick on and then come back and show you the output [00:19] glass, OK [00:19] I'm gonna have a smoke [00:19] same [00:59] ouroumov: you back boss? [00:59] boss [00:59] boss, are you there boss [00:59] lol [01:00] I'm not the boss of anyone [01:00] ~~ [01:00] But yeah [01:00] Did you get interesting things from your logs? [01:01] Is anyone online? I need a little help === stephen is now known as Guest26801 [01:01] Is anyone online? I need a little help? [01:01] yeah stephen / Guest26801 -- what's up? [01:02] http://pastebin.com/smHiuQhH [01:02] 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 [01:03] a nintendo? or should i google this? [01:03] glass, there's nothing about USB in there, did it not happen this time? [01:04] It doesn't work saying on the box compatible with all versions of windows [01:04] yes it happend [01:04] happened [01:05] not too sure what to do. I don't want her best friend to think she wasted her money [01:05] glass, and is that the whole log since you've started tailing it? [01:05] yes [01:05] glass, the only weird thing in this log is the main-menu segmentation fault [01:06] Do i need to update wine or my system or install something? [01:06] i noticed that also and then noticed the menu button that is in the bottom left of open suse desktop is gone [01:10] I'm not sure what to make of this [01:10] Try the older kernel, and if it doesn't help ask on the forums, I'd say :/ [01:10] k thanks === jeremy_ is now known as Guest49651 === emma- is now known as emma|trainwreck === emma|trainwreck is now known as emma|offline [04:25] well now i think the keyboard bug has gone to far [04:26] i opened software boutique to install clipper [04:26] and its putting 2 -4 char for each letter i type [04:27] привет === rw is now known as Guest59468 [13:56] any news on the screen tearing issue lately? seems I can't shake it off my system no matter what... [14:43] any news on the screen tearing issue lately? seems I can't shake it off my system no matter what... [15:06] have you tried the available drivers? [15:12] Akuli: yeah, don't want to know how much time I've wasted on this issue alone ;) [15:13] that happens a lot when you're getting started :) [15:13] like UM a lot, but the standby and tearing issues are making me look at linux lite 3 at the mo ;) [15:13] its the same ubuntu behind the covers [15:14] 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] Akuli: not a noob, but this is the first time I've lasted 6 months on solo linux, ie. no dual boot crap [15:15] oh, running on thinkpad t440p, nvidia+intel, is that combo not supported on 16.04? [15:16] I have a message: ata 3.0 status DRDY ERR [15:17] 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 [15:18] Akuli: thx, will do [15:18] I'm still on 14.04 [15:18] and i'll stay on 14.04 until 2019, which is when its support ends :) [15:18] unless i'll find another distro of course [15:19] I think may be hardware probl/ [15:19] Akuli: yeah, I'd stay there if your standby and video is ok as is ;) [15:20] use standby, not hibernate [15:20] OK I will return to 14.04 !!! [15:20] hibernate ,or suspend-to-disk, doesn't usually work that well [15:20] OK Friends ! Tks. [15:21] bye for now... [15:59] 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 [16:00] hi lasbr [16:00] Do you study guitar? x) [16:00] Yes [16:00] cool [16:01] 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] brb [16:03] I think it's something wrong with the architecture, my system is x64 and the software is 32 [16:03] is it for windows? [16:03] you can just sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 if thats the problem [16:05] No, it's for Linux [16:08] lasbr: You can use tuxguitar for GP tabs [16:08] Akuli I tested this command but nothing happens. [16:08] I didn't know there was a GP version for linux [16:09] how is it meant to be installed? [16:09] any instructions coming with it? [16:17] Reading up it looks like it depends on a few 32-bit libs [18:09] hello [18:45] hiyaz [18:47] Hello [20:11] Help, how do I get 32 bit drivers for my AMD card? [20:12] would it be under the system update > additional drivers? [20:14] Actually it seems like I already have them... But I'm getting errors about libGL with Portal 2 [20:14] If anybody knows what I can do about these errors that would be great http://paste.ubuntu.com/17377954/ [20:14] no idea man dont game [20:17] hola a todos consulta como puedo obtener la mejor resolucion de la pantalla [20:19] I did it, yay === apessoa is now known as Guest828 [20:31] I have a question about Mate [20:32] I am not sure if I want to install Mate, can I install the Mate desktop and the Unity desktop on the same machine? [20:34] yes, yes can [20:34] would it be better to install regular ubuntu and then add the mate desktop or install the mate version and install the unity desktop? [20:36] you probably wouldn't notice the difference [20:36] you'll end up with almost identical systems... maybe a couple of small differences [20:36] ok thank you. I like mate but cant decide to commit to it. [20:38] ubuntu-mate i distro hopped on all the ubuntu flavors [20:38] will they play nice on the same machine? [20:38] mate provides the most stable for my system [20:38] well see something i learnt is [20:39] i should have stuck with ubuntu - and then just added and removed the DE's [20:39] could have saved alot of time [20:39] you can put them on a flash drive and test them that way if you are unsure [20:40] I'm thinking of a longer term testing. I've never gotten a persistance to work properly [20:41] I might have the wrong type of flash drives for persistance [20:42] If both can live together I can switch back and forth if I like [20:43] Is there any difference between a DE installed after or installing right from a Mate install disk? [20:43] 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 [20:44] 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] I don't know about ubuntu-mate + unity, though. But if You use Ubuntu Server, you will be fine installing any DEs you wish [20:45] Interesting option. Any down side to installing the server vs desktop version? [20:45] none [20:45] well... [20:46] 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 [20:47] but the repos have all that is required [20:47] ok, great.
