[01:37] <YankDownUnder> chuckmcm: I've the same basic problem, however, it was resolved with using "arandr" to deal with my dual displays, and also turned off the "power saving" overall.
[05:41] <chuckmcm> interesting YankDownUnder I've got a script that I run (which manually invokes xrandr to move things back into place) but its annoying that the miniDP port seems to turn off for its own reasons
[08:27] <glitchd> how would i go about installing a pae kernel?
[08:29] <OerHeks> Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) and onwards: The generic default kernel already has PAE enabled.
[08:29] <glitchd> im on 16.04.1
[08:30] <glitchd> Linux ubuntu16041 4.4.0-34-generic
[08:30] <glitchd> thats the kernel thats running
[08:30] <glitchd> its only using 3 of my 8 gigs of ram
[08:31] <OerHeks> ... Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal) and onwards .....
[08:31] <glitchd> ...if it was pae enabled, it would show i have 8 gigs of ram..
[08:32] <knome> or maybe some of your ram isn't working?
[08:32] <glitchd> its working fine
[08:32] <OerHeks> grep --color=always -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo
[08:32] <glitchd> if i boot a 64 bit live usb, it shows 8 gigs
[08:33] <Unit193> OerHeks: Or check the kernel config in /boot/config-4.4.0-34-generic
[08:33] <glitchd> its in the first line
[08:33] <glitchd> grep --color=always -i PAE /proc/cpuinfo
[08:33] <glitchd> flags		: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov
[08:33] <glitchd> but that doesnt make sense
[08:34] <glitchd> it would show in system monitor i thought
[08:34] <glitchd> althought free -m makes me think it does see it
[08:35] <glitchd> free -m
[08:35] <glitchd>               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
[08:35] <glitchd> Mem:           7972        4263        1079         619        2629        2368
[08:35] <glitchd> Swap:          4095           0        4095
[08:35] <glitchd> so maybe it does already see it
[08:35] <glitchd> hmpf
[08:35] <OerHeks> :-)
[08:39] <glitchd> thanks for the info OerHeks
[08:39] <glitchd> adios
[10:31] <drumcode303> when starting a shell script from home directory: what could cause this error?  Syntax error: ")" unexpected
[10:32] <knome> the script has a syntax error.
[10:33] <drumcode303> it runs fine on many other distros. could it be it's a 32/64bit thing?
[10:33] <knome> i don't think so
[10:33] <knome> are you giving some parameters to the script? how are the quoted/escaped?
[10:34] <knome> *they
[10:34] <drumcode303> no parameters when launching it, want me to upload it to dpaste?
[10:35] <knome> sure, i can take a quick look (though i don't have too much time)
[10:36] <drumcode303> http://dpaste.com/0EVQGXA
[10:38] <knome> hmm, no ideaw
[10:38] <knome> -w
[10:38] <drumcode303> thanks for taking the time though :)
[10:38] <knome> it's *very* unlikely it's related to 32/64-bit
[10:39] <drumcode303> ok. should any ideas cross your mind, please let me know :D
[10:39] <knome> you could try asking #ubuntu if somebody knew there
[10:39] <Unit193> Does it say what line?
[10:39] <drumcode303> i think so: 1
[10:39] <knome> or you could try asking Unit193, who always has good ideas
[10:40] <drumcode303> :)
[10:40] <drumcode303> looks like an L but it's probably a one
[10:47] <drumcode303> it doesn't have to start like #!/bin/bash does it? instead of ../sh?
[11:21] <drumcode303> could it be installation error, so that the shell doesn't operate as it should?
