| SirSlippers | HoWdY!! XUBUNTU 16.04 - How do I change Screen Display from 640X480 to 1280X1024 ??? | 04:03 |
| SirSlippers | AFK a minute ... BRB | 04:05 |
| SirSlippers | OK back ... XUBUNTU 16.04 - How do I change Screen Display from 640X480 to 1280X1024 ??? | 04:22 |
| SirSlippers | Would I be better advised to DUMP 16.4 and go with a version that isn't so new? | 04:23 |

| akis | hi all. i installed 16.04 (clean installation) on 3 machines. 2 of them have 4gb ram and celeron cpu and the 3rd has only 2gb but a core duo cpu. I see that 16.04 needs more ram than 14.04 did to run the same applications. On my 3rd machine (this with 2gb ram only) many times (when many tabs on browser are open or flash is running) exceeds the whole ram (set vm.swappiness=1 instead the default 60) and start swappiness. Doea any one else realize | 04:49 |
| akis | that 16.04 need more ram than 14.04 did? | 04:49 |
| SirSlippers | OK .. this is weird! I rebooted XUbuntu 16.04 and I got a nice 1280 X 1024 screen. Then I shut it down and got the old 640X480 screen ... hmmm ... anyone know how to PERMANAENT LY change this please! | 05:01 |
| SirSlippers | I remember on some readings about VGA=771 was helping get the black screen to be readable ... | 05:02 |
| SirSlippers | I don't know where to type that in though | 05:02 |
| SirSlippers | WoW!! I've been waiting an hour for help ... hmmm ... | 05:09 |
| cspack | SirSlippers: that setting is in /etc/default/grub | 05:13 |
| SirSlippers | cspack: > that's nice ... how do I get there? Where do I type that in? NEWB ALERT! | 05:14 |
| SirSlippers | and is VGA=771 for 640 X 480? What is the setting for 1024X768 or 1280 X 1024? | 05:15 |
| SirSlippers | there is TONS of people having problems with this inability to adjust the screen settings ... | 05:15 |
| cspack | SirSlippers: those codes are kind of old, you can just type the resolution you want /etc/default/grub. For example: GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x746 | 05:20 |
| SirSlippers | ok .. great! umm .. WHERE do I "Just Type The Resolution you want" ?? | 05:21 |
| cspack | SirSlippers: I told you the file name "/etc/default/grub". Best bet is to look for a grub2 tutorial if you're not familiar with it. | 05:23 |
| SirSlippers | the tutorials are written by people showing of how much they know and NOT really trying to explain clearly to someone just starting what to do!! | 05:25 |
| SirSlippers | there are SO MANY STEPS that are missed in those ... (sigh) maybe I better stay with WinDoZe ... | 05:26 |
| SirSlippers | cspack: thankx anyways ... but you were of little assistance ... I came HERE for help ... I already TRIED the tutorials that you spoke of ... geeze ... | 05:28 |

| hmir | Hey guys. I have xubuntu 14.10. I've have heard that upgrading 14.10 to 16.04 is a huge hassle, and that I may have to upgrade first to 15.04 and then from 15.04 to 16.04. Is this accurage? | 22:26 |
| hmir | I would prefer a clean insstall, but the cdrom drive on my laptop is faulty, and the laptop BIOS is old, does not support booting from USB. | 22:26 |
| hmir | So, I would prefer to upgrade the release from within the OS. | 22:27 |

| choki | hello | 22:33 |
| choki | is there already a fix for suspend bug where you dont have a mouse pointer visible? | 22:33 |
| hanshenrik | Wow shit | 23:01 |
| choki | hanshenrik: wow | 23:01 |
| hanshenrik | When booting from CD running running a in-ram system, it should NOT try to hibernate when closing the laptop screen | 23:02 |
| choki | it doesnt | 23:02 |
| hanshenrik | But yeah it seems like it tried to do that - and froze(/crashed?) In the process | 23:02 |
| hanshenrik | Oh nvm, seems it woke up again now :o | 23:04 |
| choki | hanshenrik: i lik xubuntu :3 | 23:05 |
| hanshenrik | Me2. I especially prefer it over Unity | 23:05 |
| hanshenrik | Is Ubuntu still using that in 16.04? | 23:06 |
| choki | yes :D | 23:06 |
| choki | hanshenrik: but sadly xub 16.04 has a bad bug with suspend on laptops | 23:06 |
| kgb | o/ sup pplz!..:) hey, guys, eye HATE asking for help (bc, we should be able 2 figure it out, heh. :)); BUT, having had upgraded from Ubuntu 15.10 to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I do NOT have *functional* Perl, even though everything seems to be installed!.. What's going on, for example, is that I can't load HexChat (XChat2) Plugins which require Perl; in fact, it's not there - it's not getting loaded - I don't understand it? o.0 http://i.imgur.com/62d0TVJ.png | 23:33 |
| kgb | ... Python is there, no problem; Perl - gone? :-0 | 23:33 |
| kgb | ^^ Everything, ofc., had been working *fine* prior to the upgrade (which, btw., I found out - the hard way, LOL - should never be run, heh; in the time it took to upgrade, I could've re-installed the system, like, 10 times, lolz. :)) | 23:35 |

| === v1adimir is now known as kgb | ||
| kgb | ok, let me rephrase - as I need help here, pls!! :)) is there a way to get a list of Perl files necessary to function - so that I can paste it here - and then ask WTH is going on?? :DD | 23:43 |
| kgb | #IgnoreKGBDayIsHere yay! \o/ | 23:49 |
