| nachtkriecher | i was wondering if anyone had set up xrdp on xubuntu | 02:55 |
| xubuntu31i | Hi | 16:27 |
| RWF | www.buzzen.con is a great place to chat | 16:31 |
| burtons | hello | 16:52 |
| pavlushka | hello burtons ! | 16:54 |
| burtons | has anybody else noticed that the new LTS (16.04 I think) is actaully quite a bit less stable than the last LTS? I've been having problems with the screen blanking forever requiring a reboot, plus booting problems over time. I'm thinking it might be hardware problems maybe, especially the booting | 16:54 |
| burtons | I swapped the drive in the machine I'm having problems with and trying Solaris on it, but I was wondering if anybody else was finding issues with 'Linux' stability in general lately. | 16:54 |
| mrkramps | last LTS is currently 14.04.5 and yes, it had been quite unstable in certain components when it was 14.04.1 | 16:56 |
| mrkramps | some regressions in early stage of LTS releases are quite common | 16:57 |
| * pavlushka thinks the same, 16.04.5 supposed to be more stable :) | 16:57 | |
| mrkramps | burtons, graphics card and driver in use? | 16:57 |
| * pavlushka feels relieved on mrkramps' intervention after seeing the issue, whew | 17:03 | |
| burtons | mrkramps off the top of my head i'm pretty sure it's a low end nvidia card. i don't have access to the machine right now | 17:13 |
| mrkramps | burtons, proprietary nvidia driver or free nouveau driver? | 17:14 |
| pavlushka | burtons: can you paste the "lspci -nnk" result in paste.ubuntu.com? and give us the link? | 17:17 |
| mrkramps | burtons, i guess best idea is to come back later when havin access to the affected system | 17:20 |
| * pavlushka didn't notice the machine unavailable issue, oops | 17:21 | |
| burtons | yes, i'll get back to this channel with some more specific details, just curious about general stability that people are seeing | 17:37 |
| burtons | the booting issues are more of a problem | 17:37 |
| burtons | i've done 3 installs so far of the new LTS and after about 3 reboots the machine won't boot anymore, pretty much consistently and there's nothing to go by on what's going wrong (just a blinking cursor on boot after the BIOS screen) | 17:38 |
| burtons | maybe there's something interesting over the serial port but i haven't set that up in years | 17:38 |
| kitti | how do i upgrade from terminal | 18:04 |
| mrkramps | kitti, your definition of "update"? | 18:04 |
| kitti | from 15.10 to 16.04 | 18:05 |
| mrkramps | do-release-upgrade | 18:05 |
| kitti | i kinda broke the upgrade tho, installer ran for a minute then said "system program detected" and quit | 18:06 |
| kitti | now when i try upgrade | 18:06 |
| kitti | it says "not all updates can be installed" and says to run partial upgrade | 18:06 |
| kitti | anyone help? | 18:08 |
| eitzei | What will happen if you try to do the "partial upgrade"? | 18:08 |
| kitti | should i try it | 18:09 |
| kitti | click "partial upgrade" | 18:09 |
| xmetal | not really sure but in different distros sometimes a partial upgrade upgrades something that lets you do the rest of the upgrade | 18:22 |
| xmetal | i would listen to any of the ops/moderators in here and their advice though | 18:23 |
| knome | partial upgrade is generally safe, as much as any regular update | 18:50 |
| xmetal | agreed @ knome | 18:57 |
| knome | ...and in the situation in question, that's pretty much the only way to a sensible system anyway (so, backup and go for it) | 18:57 |

| xubuntu34w | Hey, got an issue that maybe someone could help me with. | 23:54 |
| mrkramps | maybe | 23:56 |
| xubuntu34w | Lol, so when I close my lid, and log back in, my mouse becomes invisible. | 23:58 |
| xubuntu34w | What's the command to reset a program, and what's the name of the program I need to reset? | 23:59 |
| xubuntu34w | I did "ps -e | grep 'mouse'" | 23:59 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu34w, intel gpu? | 23:59 |
| xubuntu34w | Believe so. | 23:59 |
| xubuntu34w | Intel processor. | 23:59 |
