[00:35] <CoolCanuck> I'm having huge struggles with installing xubutu via flash drive. I've tried 4 times - both with ext4 and xfs, resulting in four hours of trying. I've google searched, tried the commands..  - after it asks me to reboot, i say ok, xubuntu shuts down, I unplug my flash drive.. my computer bootsnad grub goes into recovery/rescue because file system isn't known
[00:35] <CoolCanuck> :'(
[00:41] <ax562> do you have anything worth saving on your hdd?
[00:42] <ax562> coolcanuck?
[00:42] <CoolCanuck> I have a windows 10 install and some movies
[00:43] <CoolCanuck> I've also converted MBR to GPT and still no luck
[00:47] <ax562> does your windows partition boot?
[00:47] <CoolCanuck> no
[00:47] <CoolCanuck> I can boot into live cd though
[00:48] <CoolCanuck> (for xubuntu)
[00:48] <ax562> I usually manually setup my partitions when Install xubuntu using gparted in live cd
[00:48] <ax562> also setup or have windows already setup
[00:49] <CoolCanuck> my linux sysadmin friend tried partitioning my system
[00:49] <ax562> you can do it yourself
[00:49] <CoolCanuck> I know
[00:49] <ax562> I believe windows likes being first partition always
[00:50] <CoolCanuck> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WV5omdSf/
[00:50] <CoolCanuck> before xfs formatting and such
[00:51] <ax562> [windows 10 partition partition][xubuntu partition][swap partition]
[00:51] <CoolCanuck> https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/MRACMt6f/
[00:51] <CoolCanuck> so if I put W10 first, it should work?
[00:51] <CoolCanuck> I dont think it will boot.. now that I'm GPT. (that's fine)
[00:54] <ax562> I would create ntfs partition first then create a partition with all info you don't want to lose, then xubuntu ext4, then swap
[00:55] <ax562> [ntfs][backup ntfs][ext4][swap] using gparted in xubuntu live cd
[00:56] <ax562> then install windows 10 in [ntfs] partition
[00:56] <ax562> then install xubuntu in [ext4] partition
[00:56] <CoolCanuck> ah ok
[00:56] <CoolCanuck> I will try that
[00:57] <CoolCanuck> I dont need windows 10 to boot. Just access to the files.
[00:57] <ax562> well it's up to you
[01:00] <Anonaly_> so I install xubuntu 16.04, no fglrx, I have to manually start xfwm4 every time,
[01:01] <ax562> if you don't want windows 10 partition just create partition for files
[01:02] <Anonaly_> but even after I start xfwm4 I still have no titlebar for firefox and other programs
[01:02] <Anonaly_> I cannot minimize firefox
[01:04] <ax562> but if you ever want windows I believe that it has to be first partition on hdd coolcanuck
[01:05] <Anonaly_> looks like I have to downgrade back to 14.04 :(
[01:05] <ax562> why?
[01:05] <Anonaly_> 16.04 is giving me problems
[01:05] <ax562> I would try fresh install
[01:05] <Anonaly_> I just did
[01:05] <CoolCanuck> havey you tried reconfiguring you packages?
[01:05] <Anonaly_> no titlebar for firefox
[01:05] <CoolCanuck> reinstall or whatever
[01:05] <Anonaly_> xfwm4 --replace does not fix it
[01:06] <ax562> sudo apt-get update
[01:06] <CoolCanuck> screenshot?
[01:06] <ax562> sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:06] <CoolCanuck> I know firefox and chrome look different than usual title bars
[01:06] <Anonaly_> yeah I don't have a minimize button or anything
[01:06] <Anonaly_> can't get it out of the way
[01:06] <Anonaly_> other programs have titlebars though
[01:06] <ax562> that's weird
[01:06] <ax562> try
[01:06] <Anonaly_> like this hexchat
[01:06] <ax562> sudo apt-get update
[01:06] <ax562> sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:07] <Anonaly_> ok
[01:07] <Anonaly_> doing that
[01:09] <ax562> or sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[01:10] <CoolCanuck> :P
[01:19] <Anonaly_> alright as long as I get to keep 16.04
[01:19] <Anonaly_> and not ugprade to a non-lts version like 16.10
[01:19] <Anonaly_> thats happened to me before and I had to downgrade afterwards
[01:19] <ax562> lts is 16.04
[01:20] <ax562> oops mis read
[01:25] <Anonaly_> k restarting :)
[01:40] <Anonaly_> yes still no titlebar for firefox,
[01:40] <Anonaly_> 'I have one for other programs
[01:40] <Anonaly_> I wonder if its something to do with QT
[01:41] <Anonaly_> ax562, ^
[01:43] <Anonaly_> wtf
[01:59] <ax562> Ananoly_ have you tried updating your video card driver?
[02:03] <Anonaly_> ax562, there is no way to do that
[02:03] <Anonaly_> xubuntu 16.04. no fglrx
[02:04] <Anonaly_> well I might just give up on Xubuntu,
[02:06] <ax562> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[02:06] <ax562> you try this Anonaly_
[02:07] <Anonaly_> right now my problem is that firefox has no titlebar,
[02:07] <Anonaly_> and some other programs as well
[02:08] <ax562> it might be a problem with video card
[02:08] <Anonaly_> k figured something out
[02:08] <Anonaly_> a new profile for firefox works,
[02:09] <Anonaly_> if I use an existing profile (from Xubuntu 14.04) there is no titlebar
[02:11] <Anonaly_> ax562, xubuntu 16.04 has no support for the fglrx drivers
[02:14] <Anonaly_> ax562, weird huh
[02:45] <CoolCanuck> here is my boot info http://paste2.org/G4JNec5X

[19:25] <Eightynine> Hi. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04. I had tearing in Firefox and decided to switch to Chromium and got tearing too. Also I have poweroff bug. Menu-Shutdown-no reaction. Second attempt - PC turns off. No such bug in Windows. Please, help me.
[22:06] <er68> Hi, my computer hang randomly, I have searched error message in syslog but no anomaly found; there are other log that can I see? Thanks
[22:08] <er68> There are programs or Linux distributions for test the system components?
[22:11] <mrkramps> er68, system specifications?
[22:22] <er681> Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU  J2900  @ 2.41GHz

[22:25] <mrkramps> er681, could you describe "hang randomly" in detail?
[22:29] <er681> mrkramps, thank you for attention. the monitor show the last image visualized, the mouse pointer don't move, the keyboard led (Num Locks, Caps lock) don't change if I press the related keys
[22:29] <mrkramps> er681, crash or just hanging for a while?
[22:31] <er681> Seems it hangs, I try to scan the network with Android Fing but the pc isn't discovered
[22:32] <xubuntu17w> Hi there, I still have huge trubble with this bug (Notebook goes black and overheats, without any respond) related to probably the ATI hybrid grafic:
[22:32] <xubuntu17w> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1589139
[22:34] <mrkramps> er681, does it recover from hanging?
[22:34] <xubuntu17w> I tried tons of options and code lines/adaptions. But the only working solution so far: never ever use suspend etc. Only shotdown
[22:36] <xubuntu17w> Sorry, I didn't meant to interrupt. Help er681!
[22:36] <er681> mrkramps, to restart I must power off/on. I add these informations: I had installed Ubuntu, after I had installed XFCE, now I have installed Xubuntu. The installation is terminated from 20 minutes and the system is running.
[22:38] <mrkramps> er681, what kind of graphics card is used? intel onboard or something dedicated?
