[02:55] <nachtkriecher> is this channel active?
[02:55] <nachtkriecher> i was wondering if anyone had set up xrdp on xubuntu
[16:27] <xubuntu31i> Hi
[16:31] <RWF> www.buzzen.con   is a great place to chat
[16:52] <burtons> hello
[16:54] <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.
[16:56] <mrkramps> last LTS is currently 14.04.5 and yes, it had been quite unstable in certain components when it was 14.04.1
[16:57] <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?
[17:03]  * pavlushka feels relieved on mrkramps' intervention after seeing the issue, whew
[17:13] <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
[17:14] <mrkramps> burtons, proprietary nvidia driver or free nouveau driver?
[17:17] <pavlushka> burtons: can you paste the "lspci -nnk" result in paste.ubuntu.com? and give us the link?
[17:20] <mrkramps> burtons, i guess best idea is to come back later when havin access to the affected system
[17:21]  * pavlushka didn't notice the machine unavailable issue, oops
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[18:04] <kitti> how do i upgrade from terminal
[18:04] <mrkramps> kitti, your definition of "update"?
[18:05] <kitti> from 15.10 to 16.04
[18:05] <mrkramps> do-release-upgrade
[18:06] <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
[18:08] <kitti> anyone help?
[18:08] <eitzei> What will happen if you try to do the "partial upgrade"?
[18:09] <kitti> should i try it
[18:09] <kitti> click "partial upgrade"
[18:22] <xmetal> not really sure but in different distros sometimes a partial upgrade upgrades something that lets you do the rest of the upgrade
[18:23] <xmetal> i would listen to any of the ops/moderators in here and their advice though
[18:50] <knome> partial upgrade is generally safe, as much as any regular update
[18:57] <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)
[21:28] <karamazov> hi m80m8s
[22:55] <xubuntu52w> Hello, anyone here?
[22:56] <mrkramps> yes
[23:52] <xubuntu34w> Hi!
[23:54] <xubuntu34w> Hey, got an issue that maybe someone could help me with.
[23:56] <mrkramps> maybe
[23:58] <xubuntu34w> Lol, so when I close my lid, and log back in, my mouse becomes invisible.
[23:59] <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] <xubuntu34w> Lenovo T530
