SkyriderIs anyone familiar with mouse/keyboard issues? Demo of Lubuntu works fine.. but after installation, mouse/keyboard refuses to work.15:35
sodomySkyrider: USB keyboard/mouse?  Try an lsusb -t15:58
sodomy(from a remote login obviously)15:58

Skyridersodomy: indeed, USB.17:29
Skyrideris remote enabled by default?17:29
wxlSkyrider: nope. just boot up with a live cd/usb.17:29
Skyriderlive/demo works.17:30
SkyriderIt's the full installation which is the issue.17:30
wxlright so use lsusb to get information17:30
SkyriderI'm lost ^^.17:30
wxlthere have been no reports about the keyboard/mouse not working17:31
wxltherefore, it is highly likely that you have a particular set of hardware that others don't have17:31
wxlso in order to troubleshoot the problem, we need more information17:31
wxllsusb provides said information17:31
SkyriderAh.. I get it.. I just thought you wanted to get some information that I can't type on the lubuntu having the issue :p17:31
wxlnope17:32
SkyriderSo.. lsusb -t, brb.. rebooting into live mode.17:32
wxlif you want easy access to remote just install ssh17:32
SkyriderCurrently on windows.17:34
Skyriderwxl: http://imgur.com/FRL0XnF17:44
SkyriderStill weird that live works perfectly.17:45
wxlSkyrider: um, hate to be a pain, but could you pastebin that?17:52
SkyriderNo can do.17:54
SkyriderI have to keep switching os's.17:54
wxllsusb -t | pastebinit (install pastebinit if you haven't already)17:54
Skyridercant view image?..17:58
wxlimages are difficult to deal with when dealing with text; also it seems that some text is missing17:59
SkyriderThat is the complete info that lsusb gave.17:59
wxlso you have an input devices that's attached to a hub that's attached to a hub that's attached to a hub ???18:04
Skyriderkeyboard/mouse -> hub -> pc.18:05
Skyriderno other hubs in between.18:05
wxldoes the keyboard have a hub in it?18:05
wxli.e. is the mouse connected to the keyboard?18:06
SkyriderNope. Both seperated18:06
Skyrider**separated18:06
wxlhow bizarre. that tree is nuts.18:06
wxlwhat happens if you get rid of the hub and connect straight to the pc?18:07
SkyriderI see..18:07
SkyriderKeyboard has USB connections.18:07
SkyriderNever really, knew.. lol18:07
SkyriderFirst time I'm finding this out.18:07
wxlok that makes sense then, sheesh18:07
SkyriderWonder why I never noticed this.18:08
SkyriderUsing Mouse in keyboard to pc connection now, removed the hub..18:11
Skyriderlets see if that works.18:11
SkyriderWeird if it does though.. linux mint had no issues with the keyboard/mouse, and its the same os.18:12
wxlwell, potential difference in kernel18:13
Skyrid3rWeird stuff, still nothing18:17
Skyrid3r.Strangest thing is.. even the network is disconnected.18:18
Skyrid3rLive version works fine though18:18
wxlwell it might be a broadcom chip18:18
wxlthey usually require more oeffort in the installed version18:18
Skyrid3rI'm pretty sure I tagged the download stuff at installation.18:18
Skyrid3rinc, third party.18:19
wxlyeah that doesn't necessarily mean anything unfortunately18:19
wxlyou can use `lspci -nnk` to figure out what chip you have and what kernel module it's using18:19
wxlif it's broadcom you'll need this—18:19
wxl!b4318:19
ubottuHelp with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx18:19
Skyrid3rWhy would the packages differ from live / installed version?18:23
Skyrid3rI mean, if it 'works' on the live version.. wouldn't you expect that those things also work on the installed version?18:24
wxlthere is occassionally a bit of a difference. updates account for some of that. it could certainly be a regression that causes a problem18:24
Skyrid3rI doubt I installed it incorrectly ^^, I had linux mint installed.. wiped that partition and installed Lubuntu over it.18:24
wxlyeah i don't think you did anything wrong for sure18:25
wxlit's really curious. different ports don't produce different results?18:25
Skyrid3r'fraid not.18:25
wxlwhat version of lubuntu is this again?18:25
Skyrid3r16.0418:26
wxli wish you had remote access18:27
wxlit would be interesting to see if lsusb produces different results in the installed system18:27
wxlwe could also grep the logs at that point18:27
Skyrid3rYa, dito... unless I can override it somehow.18:27
wxlinvariably there's a clue there somewhere18:27
wxlwell, you could try to fix the wireless issue18:28
Skyrid3rethernet connected.18:28
Skyrid3rSo, not using wireless.18:28
wxlah there you go18:28
wxlso18:28
wxl1s18:28
Skyrid3r?18:29
wxlso there's a wiki page that deals with re-installing kernels when you've deleted them all18:29
wxlyou can use this to install your package18:29
wxlhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels/Problems18:29
Skyrid3rI don't remember removing any kernels.18:30
wxlexcept when you get to installing your kernel, just install the broadcom package18:30
wxl(instead of the kernel)18:30
wxland of course you won't need to update grub18:30
wxlthat is assuming that the package will solve your problem18:30
wxlfirst you'll have to see if you have a broadcom chip and fi you do which one so you know which package to install based on:18:31
wxl!b4318:31
ubottuHelp with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx18:31
* wxl kicks ubottu 18:31
Skyrid3rRealtek18:31
wxloh18:32
wxlright you have ethernet18:32
wxli forgot about that18:32
Skyrid3r^_^18:32
wxlso go through that process and instead of installing the kernel, install `ssh`18:32
Skyrid3rI do have wireless plugged in, just not using it atm.18:32
wxlthen you can boot to it and you should be able to connect to it over ssh using another computer on the network18:32
wxlheck you could use your phone :)18:33
wxlhope that makes sense18:34
Skyrid3rwth is going on..18:37
Skyrid3rOh, ya.. it does.. using debian myself on my pi2.18:37
Skyrid3rBeen working with linux for a few years now.18:37
Skyrid3rFailed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'18:38
Skyrid3rWhen trying to update.18:38
wxlSkyrider: did you do the resolv.conf trick?18:39
Skyrid3rYa, did the complete list up to apt-get install18:39
Skyrid3rcan't install anything without updating the list though.18:39
wxli assume you can't ping archive.ubuntu.com?18:40
Skyrid3rNot from the terminal.18:40
wxlargh18:41
Skyrid3rStrange....18:41
* wxl sighs18:41
Skyrid3rActually, can't ping anything..18:42
wxltry disconnecting and reconnecting the ethernet cable and then doing the resolv.conf bit?18:42
Skyrid3rSo that tutorial makes a direct connection with my local installation?18:43
Skyrid3rBecause when I exit the connection, I can ping again.18:44
wxlcorrect18:45
wxlthe idea is that since it's not connected, your local installation doesn't have networking set up properly18:45
wxlso you need to copy over the working configuration from the running system over to the mounted local install in order to get the internet to work when you chroot into the local install18:45
Skyrid3rTried copying the file, didn't work though.18:46
Skyrid3rWhy can't the connection make use of the existing network connection I have now on the live version?18:46
wxlbrb18:46
wxltechnically you probably could but it would take some rewriting18:48
wxlthe thing is that the system is set to look for /etc/resolv.conf18:49
wxlwhen you mount --bind and chroot, you're making /etc refer to your local install's /etc18:49
wxl(among other things)18:49
wxlyou might want to make sure you're booted into the live desktop environment and make sure that nm-applet has your connection set up properly first18:50
wxland then check the content of the live /etc/resolv.conf18:50
wxlit should be nothing more than the likes of a nameserver ip (usually 127.0.1.1) and a search domain18:52
wxlwell, actually the search domain is optional and probably not relevant18:56
Skyriderweird stuff.19:01
charlie_sandershow Do I tell ubuntu to use my custonm downloaded of JAVA so it's not constantly trying to download a java-runtime ?19:04
wxlcharlie_sanders: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#Choosing_the_default_Java_to_use19:05
charlie_sandersok, I tried alternatives, let me read that and try again19:06
wxlcharlie_sanders: it's possible that the way you have it installed, maybe it doesn't provide an alternatives option. you'll have to rtfm and figure out how to take care of that. alternately, read the whole page and see if anything there doesn't apply to how you want to install.19:07
charlie_sandersugh, it says theres only one choice, and so its the default, but any package that relies on java is trying to download headless-java19:07
charlie_sandersoh hmm19:07
wxloh yeah that's going to be problematic, too.19:08
charlie_sandersmaybe theres a headless java alt19:08
charlie_sandersyeah, cause I need to tell my _package manager_ that I have a java installed19:08
wxlyou're using Oracle Java?19:08
charlie_sandersyes19:08
wxl7 or 8?19:08
charlie_sanders919:09
charlie_sandersoops19:09
charlie_sanders819:09
charlie_sandersi come from the future!19:09
wxlseems there's a ppa that should solve all your problems19:09
wxland keep you from having to manually download and install updates19:10
wxlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html19:10
wxlwow it does have 9 in there19:10
wxlhttps://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/java19:10
geniiYes, 9 has been in there a while now19:11
wxllast version of 8 was uploaded on the 21st of July, so seems fairly updated19:12
Skyriderwxl: Is this because lubuntu is so light?19:14
wxlSkyrider: hahah yeah we eliminate everything XD19:15
SkyriderHopefully you know I'm referring to my issue :p19:15
wxlSkyrider: no, it should be totally unrelated. especially at the kernel level, we're all the same as ubuntu itself.19:16
SkyriderThere must be a difference somewhere.. Linux mint / Lubuntu both use 16.0419:16
wxlSkyrider: i'm not sure how mint does things. it's possible they might not actually use the lubuntu seeds.19:17
Skyridermmmhhh19:18
SkyriderWeird, weird, weird.19:18
wxlnow there's a question i didn't ask you19:20
wxlare you absolutely 100% sure that you downloaded and copied the image without failure19:20
wxli.e. did you check the hashes?19:20
SkyriderThat, I did not. I just expected it to work properly..19:21
charlie_sanderswxl: oh ok, thx19:21
wxlnp charlie_sanders19:21
wxlSkyrider: cuz 1 bit of difference could result in weird inconsistencies19:21
SkyriderCurrent usb is at 4.576.088.064 bytes19:23
Skyriderlet me rewrite the image file.19:23
wxlyou should ALWAYS check hashes19:24
wxlalways always always19:24
wxlof course if you use torrents, that's already done for you19:24
wxlstill, there's the matter of checking the media (which you can do at the grub menu)19:24
SkyriderNot much of a hash person, as 99% of all time it d/ls correctly :p19:24
wxlthere's that 1%19:25
SkyriderVery rarely, corrupted installations ^^.19:25
lynorianSkyrider, but the 1 percent of the time it does finding the problem is really hard19:26
SkyriderWhere's the hash located.19:26
SkyriderFound the md5.19:27
SkyriderMD5 checks out.19:28
wxlnow boot the live system and "check the cd for defects"19:30
wxlman we have to change that language19:30
skyrid3rmeh..20:00
skyrid3rI apologise.20:00
wxlSkyrider: copying error?20:01
skyrid3rwxl: While the MD5 was correct, the writing didn go well to USB.20:01
skyrid3rI re-did it, and installed.. its working perfectly now.20:01
wxlskyrid3r: yeah it happens, man, don't sweat it. that's usually the first place to look if things are just *weird*20:01
wxlskyrid3r: in any case, glad you're all fixed :)20:01
skyrid3rIndeed ^_^20:01
skyrid3rstill have to get used to this GUI though.20:02
skyrid3rDont have a super slow system, but it aint fast either.20:02
skyrid3rCinnamon was actually, laggy for me.20:02
wxllubuntu's about the best there is from what i've found20:02
wxlwell, lxde20:03
skyrid3rWhat do you use for start-menu search?20:03
skyrid3rFound out it has no function for that.20:03
wxlyou could arch your way to an absolutely perfect system for only what you want20:03
wxlwe don't have anything like that, and i really haven't had the need, so can't speak to it personally20:03
skyrid3rAlrighty :), I often search stuff through the start menu on w10.20:04
skyrid3rEasier to find things without blogging my desktop.20:04
skyrid3rAppreciate all the help btw :)20:06
wxlnp :)20:06
skyrid3rWill have to reinstall lubuntu later on anyway..20:07
skyrid3rCurrently just installed on a 60gb partition... unless I mount the home to another one in the future20:07
skyrid3rFamiliar with windows wxl ?20:11
wxlskyrid3r: a bit.20:12
skyrid3rI believe in windows, the bottom right side mouse is being blocked to go to the second monitor.20:12
skyrid3rIn order to use minimize all function properly.20:12
skyrid3rNot sure if possible with (l)ubuntu / the GUI.20:12
wxltl;dr you want to be able to move the mouse to the bottom right and make it minimize all windows?20:13
skyrid3rWithout it moving to the second monitor, ya.20:13
wxlyeeeeeah i'm not sure that works or not20:13
wxli'm not even sure there's a mouse corners option20:14
skyrid3rUgh.. need to change keyboard settings as well.. ' / " not working properly20:14
skyrid3rFound the minimize all function20:14
skyrid3rThough it won't revert it20:14
skyrid3rbrb, update on some stuff / nvidia, etc.20:14
