[07:52] <rajivmars> Today i have installed xubuntu-desktop on kubuntu 16.04. Everything works fine  until i turn my computer off. now when i turn it on and try to log in to xubuntu session, it is hanged on at the login screen. I mean i am not able to login and the computer freeze at the login screen. Anyone please help me?
[10:06] <user|43810> Upgrading to 16.04 caused my Asus laptop to stop booting. It takes several reboots to get to the bios to change the boot device in order to run 15.10 from a CD so I can get online and aks if anyone else has a similar problem.
[10:07] <soee> not here
[10:07] <soee> where is stoped booting exactly ?
[10:08] <soee> brb, need to jump to shop
[10:42] <user|43810> After the first "Kubuntu" screen it goes black and sits there... it takes a few 3-finger boots to get to the bios screen. I'd like to try and recover some data which was not properly backed up, but it seems to overwritten everything and then failed to finish the install or something.
[10:43] <soee> user|43810: you can't reinstall ? Fresh installation
[10:44] <soee> if you have black screen after plymouth so it seems sddm does not starts
[10:44] <soee> you tried to install 16.04 ? Over what previous version ?
[10:49] <user|43810> I was using 14.04 and had the offer to upgrade, so I cannot reinstall as I have no media to install from. I am considering installing 15.10 to get a reasonable OS but I'd like to have the option to recover some old files which I seem to have lost. Obviously I was behind in my back-ups, I've been busy in the garden and didn't allocate enough time to
[10:49] <user|43810>  back up things. Stupid, really.
[10:51] <soee> user|43810: you can use command line to backup them no ?
[10:52] <user|43810> I cannot get to a command line, the thing does nothing but sit with a blank screen until I boot from an external drive.
[10:53] <user|43810> If you are using 16.04 with no problems, did you do it from an online upgrade or did you make an install CD?
[10:54] <user|43810> It indicated everything had upgraded successfully but when I tried to boot up, I get the "Asus" screen, the "Kubuntu" screen and then... black
[11:01] <soee> user|43810: i had fresh install
[11:01] <soee> you should be able to switch to command line from that black screen
[11:02] <soee> try key combination kie LAT + SHIFT + F1 etc
[11:02] <soee> or boot to command line from grub
[11:02] <soee> where you pick system choose recovery mode
[11:07] <user|43810> Not sure what is LAT...? But I tried recovery mode... no good.
[11:48] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all

[13:45] <BluesKaj> user|14779, did you upgrade your 14.04 packages before upgrading to 16.04. a lot of users forget to do so and end up with a broken upgrade
[13:58] <user|56115> After 16.04 Lts upgrade splash screen hangs

[14:49] <Kardi_> where r the files for Quassel stored? (i need to choose it as an app in firefox)
[15:02] <BluesKaj> Kardi_, quassel doesn't run in FF, it's a stand alone irc client
[15:30] <Kardi_> ok
[15:30] <Kardi_> but where are its files anyway (I don't much about linux)
[15:32] <Kardi_> sys? run? dev? var? srv? mnt?
[15:36] <Kardi_> *know
[15:38] <Smurphy> Kardi_: These are all system locations.
[15:38] <Smurphy> make a: which quassel
[15:38] <Smurphy> and you will know where quassel is (executable binary)
[15:40] <Kardi_> Is "make a: which quassel" console code? I got [make: *** No rule to make target `a:'.  Stop.]
[15:46] <Kardi_> found it, just "which quassel" in konsole gives answer
[15:47] <BluesKaj> Kardi_,  no need to compile , qussel is in the repositories
[15:47] <BluesKaj> quassel even
[15:48] <BluesKaj> just run , sudo apt install quassel in the terminal
[15:50] <Kardi_> yes thanks all good
[16:10] <Ace2> hi all , anybody around
[16:12] <BluesKaj> yes Ace2, just ask your question
[16:13] <Ace2> Well I installed the upgrade to 16.04 yesterday
[16:13] <Ace2> besides looking like windows 95 , which a theme helped to change , ther eis a problem with desktop icons
[16:13] <Ace2> they all have a box around them
[16:13] <Ace2> can't be rotated as well
[16:13] <Ace2> wth is this?
[16:13] <Ace2> no setting i can find changes it
[16:14] <BluesKaj> system settings > icons

[16:16] <BluesKaj> no matter
[16:16] <Ace2> yes and updated before doing the major update
[16:16] <BluesKaj> aster as well
[16:16] <BluesKaj> after
[16:16] <Ace2> it says no updates available
[16:18] <BluesKaj> perhaps the icon themes from 14.04 didn't revert to default when they aren't available on 16.04
[16:19] <Ace2> well it carried over programs and my mail ect. so maybe possible
[16:19] <Ace2> but er how on earth to fix it without full reinstall?
[16:20] <Ace2> it with anything i put on desktop firefox widget , folders ect.
[16:20] <BluesKaj> do you m ean the icons in the taskbar?
[16:20] <Ace2> icons on desktop

[16:29] <Ace2> can make them as big as screen
[16:29] <Ace2> but come with bigger boxes to boot , so weird
[16:30] <Ace2> in desktop affects nothing takes these boxes away lol
[16:32] <BluesKaj> I use quicklaunch widget and drag my fav apps to it , no clutter on the desktop
[16:33] <Ace2> might be my work around till , this gets figured out
[16:34] <Ace2> is that standard widget in system?

[20:09] <ranu> hm, it looks like deactivating vga output stopped the mouse effect

[21:01] <mhg> hi, im trying to use vmware on kubuntu, which is a great distro, i love KDE. thanks its developers. but i have errors, like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/755238/why-disabling-secure-boot-is-enforced-policy-when-installing-3rd-party-modules/759849 but i can't solve the problem
[21:03] <mhg> like this too, my output from terminal is same http://askubuntu.com/questions/762210/vmware-error-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04
[21:06] <Tundra-Server> Good afternoon everyone, I'm having some issues with my kubuntu 16.04 install. The install is fresh as of last night but for some reason the DM will not start
[21:06] <Tundra-Server> Does anyone have any ideas?
[21:13] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: If you can get to a TTY, you can try to reconfigure the DM...(sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm => choose/re-choose the DM) => see if that resolves the issue.
[21:14] <Tundra-Server> Returns that gdm is not installed
[21:14] <mhg> any idea?
[21:15] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: then do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm (or sddm or lightdm) => see what that does, hmm?
[21:16] <Tundra-Server> All return that they're not installed. Which would probably cause this problem
[21:17] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Ok - so, that being said, a simple solution is: sudo apt-get install sddm => after that, do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm => just follow through all that is asked => once that is done, from the tty, do: sudo service sddm restart
[21:18] <Tundra-Server> Well, I thought that too but apt-get returns an error itself
[21:19] <mhg> Please help me!!!
[21:19] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: apt-get returns an error - hmm....what's the error?
[21:19] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Is it safe to assume that you've asked in #vmware?
[21:20] <mhg> YankDownUnder: no i didn't ask this on #vmware i will ask it now.
[21:20] <Tundra-Server> W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[21:20] <YankDownUnder> mhg: If I had an answer, I'd gladly give it to you - however, I use Virtualbox, and I can't honestly tell you much other than what I have
[21:21] <Tundra-Server> E:couldn't create temporary file to work with /long/file/name
[21:21] <mhg> YankDownUnder: i have the same problem with VirtualBox too.
[21:21] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: When you're doing "apt-get install" -> you ARE using "sudo apt-get install", right?
[21:21] <Tundra-Server> Correct
[21:22] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Please do this in the tty: ps -Ae | grep update => tell me what shows up please
[21:22] <mhg> YankDownUnder: The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please install virtualbox-dkms package and load the kernel module by executing
[21:23] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Have you done: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms ?
[21:24] <mhg> YankDownUnder: no i didn't. i do it now.
[21:24] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Coolbeans
[21:24] <mhg> YankDownUnder: virtualbox-dkms is already the newest version (5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1).
[21:25] <Tundra-Server> YankDownUnder: nothing is returned
[21:25] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Ok...how's about: sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox
[21:26] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Ok...can you do this and tell me what happens: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt-autoclean
[21:27] <mhg> YankDownUnder: http://pastebin.com/qVucGtfd
[21:27] <Tundra-Server> Well it's working
[21:28] <Tundra-Server> That's what it says
[21:28] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Far out...and what happens when you do: sudo systemctl virtualbox restart => ??
[21:28] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Is it done yet?
[21:28] <Tundra-Server> Very big error
[21:29] <mhg> YankDownUnder: Unknown operation virtualbox.
[21:29] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: "Very big error" - hehehehee....right oh...and in a nutshell it says...?
[21:29] <Tundra-Server> Well, the bottom of the error shows the same lines I gave you earlier
[21:30] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Ok...what about: sudo apt-get -f install
[21:31] <mhg> YankDownUnder: http://pastebin.com/eDmmUaRH
[21:31] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: What is returned when you do: ps -AE | grep dm ?
[21:32] <Tundra-Server> Lowercase "e" or upper?
[21:32] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Good - that at least shows that nothings "broken" as it were...now a question I would beg to ask is - have you rebooted the machine since? And if not, can you?
[21:33] <Tundra-Server> Cause one returns an error about the command itself and the other returns nothing
[21:33] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: ps -Ae | grep dm
[21:33] <Tundra-Server> Alright, I've got sddm returned
[21:33] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Right - so, can you try: sudo service sddm restart
[21:33] <mhg> YankDownUnder: yes, i have rebooted the system twice i think.
[21:34] <Tundra-Server> nada
[21:34] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Right oh, fair enough...I'm not wanting to ask you to re-install Virtualbox...unless you don't really have any VM's configured and such...
[21:34] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: "Nada" meaning, er, what, no errors?
[21:35] <Tundra-Server> No errors, but no desktop either
[21:35] <Tundra-Server> At least none that I can see
[21:35] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: So if you do "CTRL-ALT-F7" - nothing shows up?
[21:35] <Tundra-Server> That's correct
[21:35] <mhg> YankDownUnder: I don't have any VM's. i installed Kubuntu a week ago, it's my first VM.
[21:36] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Ok...since you're at the tty, can you do this: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall => ??
[21:37] <Tundra-Server> Nope
[21:37] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Nothing happened?
[21:38] <Tundra-Server> Just returned another error with the one of the same lines I gave you earlier
[21:39] <YankDownUnder> Tundra-Server: Would you mind doing a reboot, please? (sudo reboot)
[21:40] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Can you edit and add something to your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[21:42] <mhg> YankDownUnder: Yes.
[21:43] <mhg> YankDownUnder: in #vmware they told me to restart the system, i will be back in a minute
[21:43] <mhg> bye
[21:43] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Ok...so if you're comfortable with that, please read this page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads => this will setup the "latest and greatest" Virtualbox via PPA - not the one that's in the "Universal" repos...
[21:43] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> YankDownUnder: Well, that's a wrap. we're at initramfs
[21:44] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> I feel like I can now say that it's truely toast
[21:44] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: It's dead at the init. Lovely.
[21:44] <YankDownUnder> It's not toast yet.
[21:44] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Well, I'm not exactly up for sitting here for another 5 hrs troubleshooting this
[21:45] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> So I'm just gonna reinstall
[21:46] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Yes this would be a great time to learn
[21:46] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> But I've been running around all day
[21:46] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> So, YankDownUnder , thanks for you assistance on the matter
[21:47] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> *your
[21:48] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Can you read through this? http://www.howtogeek.com/196740/how-to-fix-an-ubuntu-system-when-it-wont-boot/
[21:48] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Certainly
[21:48] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: However, that being said, if you want to re-install, may I suggest that you make sure that you enable "updates" whilst installing?
[21:49] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Well, ya see, I did that
[21:51] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Fair enough - just checking...and do you have any "third party" drivers that require installation?
[21:51] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Not that I'm aware of
[21:52] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Coolbeans...coolbeans...well, if you're on the path to reinstallation (as I would do, in all honesty), good luck and fair weather :)
[21:53] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Thank you kind sir
[21:53] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: You're more than welcome. Peace.
[21:54] <mhg> YankDownUnder: hi, i have a new problem, i restarted the system, and display resolution is 1024x768 i can't change it in Display and Monitor
[21:55] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Does your system require graphics drivers that aren't installed? Or do you have multiple monitors?
[21:55] <mhg> YankDownUnder: i try to install Nvidia driver last time before restart, but i had some errors. but no multiple monitors
[21:56] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Right oh -  so then the most important thing do do (doing things step by step) is to get the NVidia drivers installed first and foremost...
[21:56] <_thelion_> Hi, how do i set up bonjour in kde-telepathy, please? (Kubuntu 16.04)
[21:56] <mhg> YankDownUnder:  i have NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run . is it correct?
[21:59] <YankDownUnder> mhg: I'm honestly not sure - I don't have NVidia on my systems - is that what was recommended?
[21:59] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: Is the package "kde-config-telepathy-accounts" installed on your system?
[22:00] <YankDownUnder> mhg: I'll assume you've downloaded that, yes?
[22:00] <mhg> YankDownUnder: yes, but i don't remmember my graphic card model exactly
[22:01] <mhg> YankDownUnder:   ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module.
[22:01] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Doesn't matter - here's something to try - before you run the NVidia install - in a terminal, type: sudo ubuntu-drivers list
[22:01] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Try using the Ubuntu cert drivers first...as per my last message...
[22:01] <_thelion_> YankDownUnder: yes,this package is installed
[22:02] <mhg> YankDownUnder: http://pastebin.com/wbeM6xEr
[22:02] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: Vrai - ok...so what then is the problem that you are having with trying to set up the accounts?
[22:03] <YankDownUnder> mhg: In the same terminal, can you type: sudo lspci | grep VGA => and see what the model is, please?
[22:03] <mhg> YankDownUnder: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630] (rev a1)
[22:04] <_thelion_> if i want to add a new account (like Bonjour), i don't find "Bonjour" on that list.
[22:05] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Ah...so you could try the nvidia-361 driver, hmm....
[22:05] <mhg> YankDownUnder: how to install that?
[22:05] <YankDownUnder> mhg: You could do: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[22:05] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: So anything "bonjour" is not showing up, oui?
[22:07] <_thelion_> yes. there's AIM,  Gadu-Gadu, Google, ICQ, Jabber, etc - but there isn't xmpp, neither bonjour.
[22:07] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: Looking...
[22:11] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: I can't find anything else related to this, but another channel to check is #kde-telepathy => I had problems originally - with something different - but the same - telepathy - and I ended up having to completely re-install all the "account" and "telepathy" related packages - but I'm not sure if that would be the same for you - so please check in that channel, they might be able to help further...
[22:13] <_thelion_> YankDownUnder: Thanks a lot - i will try it in that other channel
[22:13] <YankDownUnder> _thelion_: Pais.
[22:17] <mhg> YankDownUnder: good news. the nvidia driver is working fine now. the vmware is fine too, i disabled the secure boot, on installation of nvidia driver
[22:18] <YankDownUnder> mhg: So you're buying donuts this morning?
[22:19] <mhg> YankDownUnder: :D i have an other quetstion. i have persian language on my system, all the numbers are in persian, i want them in english, how to fix this?
[22:19] <mhg> clock, calendar, ... .
[22:21] <YankDownUnder> Should be "System Settings" => "Regional Settings" => "Formats"
[22:22] <mhg> YankDownUnder: the region is United States - American English (en_US)
[22:23] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Then you'd need to change things as you see fit - or what you feel the most comfortable with (what works for you) :)
[22:24] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Also check "Translations"
[22:24] <mhg> YankDownUnder: the Preferred Language is American English but everything is persian in my system
[22:25] <mhg> plus one more problem, the right shift key is not working after restarting and driver installation. i don't know why.
[22:26] <YankDownUnder> mhg: So you've done all the checking and changing in "Regional Settings" - you might want to logout/login and see if that resolves the issue.
[22:27] <mhg> YankDownUnder: restart dose not help? i restarted system several times now.
[22:30] <mhg> YankDownUnder: login/logout does not help.
[22:31] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Read though this: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/change-language-settings-in-ubuntu/3448 (read through it - even though it's "Mate" based, you'll see where you can affect overall languages from the base system)
[22:33] <mhg> YankDownUnder: i see this http://pastebin.com/5nP9YT10 . is this the problem?
[22:35] <YankDownUnder> mhg: "fa_*" is showing "Farsi" (Persian) as a base for time/numbers/money/etc => so you'd have to change that - unless you require Persian as a base for money/time/date/numbers...
[22:36] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Something MORE to read! :) => https://wiki.debian.org/ChangeLanguage
[22:39] <mhg> YankDownUnder: i changed them, reboot the system. everything is fine now. thanks
[22:39] <YankDownUnder> mhg: Ok...so, you can send the donuts anytime now...
[22:39] <mhg> :D

[23:29] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Hey YankDownUnder you still around?
[23:36] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: I think so...but I could be mistaken.
[23:36] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Hehe
[23:37] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Well, do you know if an SCSI driver would be a third party or should I rely on the one that the OS installs
[23:37] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> ?
[23:38] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: I'd use the one that's built into the kernel/system firstly - unless it's specifically proprietary - which I highly doubt...what's it for? iSCSI or just plain SCSI?
[23:39] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Straight up SCSI
[23:39] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Should be good to go - right "out of the box" as it were...SCSI drives...hmm...used to love those...
[23:40] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> Hehe, I had a buddy offload some old drives and controller cards to me
[23:40] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> So I figured I'd make use of them
[23:41] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Now I'm jealous. Last time someone did that to me - I grouped 'em all up and made a single "drive" out of 'em...chew up heaps of power, but I didn't care at the time...
[23:42] <Tundra_O1dDsktop> :(
[23:43] <YankDownUnder> Tundra_O1dDsktop: Made for a great "disk" for the network, though
