[04:50] <desertofunknown> hello there trying to see if anyone else is having issues with xubuntu 16.10's install
[04:54] <desertofunknown> The problem I am having is that starting the installer either in try without installation mode or install ubuntu mode regardless of if its booted in uefi mode results in a blank screen which I can workaround with nomodeset but my mobile phone that I tether with starts rebooting continouesly making me unable to access the net during the live install
[04:54] <desertofunknown> So my problem is kind of two headed here and correct me if I am wrong I believe has to do with the kernel
[04:55] <desertofunknown> My main point is to see if this is a known issue and if there will be an install image released to fix this problem
[04:56] <desertofunknown> Now for the details of my hardware I am on a Asus sabertooth gen3/rev2.0 mb amd 8370 cpu and my gpu is a msi gtx 970
[04:57] <desertofunknown> As a heads up all previous versions from 12.04-16.04.1 all install fine without any issues
[05:00] <desertofunknown> Currently I am trying to do an upgrade from version 16.04.1 to 16.10 to see if this is a possible workaround I have also installed a manually compiled mainline kernel to test with the upgrade post install to see if I can narrow it down to being an issue with the xubuntu default provided kernel in 16.10
[05:01] <desertofunknown> I will let you know the results ASAP and hopefully you can help me through this and provide a working xubuntu kernel if that is the issue
[05:41] <Desertofunknown> Hello, im back. So yes the issue with xubuntu 16.10s install was partially due to the kernel
[05:42] <Desertofunknown> But the usb issue with my tethered phone rebooting over and over is not
[05:43] <Desertofunknown> Sometime during the upgrade i am assuming to do with networking it cut off the net and the phome started rebooting constantly
[05:44] <Desertofunknown> This is very bad news for me as its my only access to the net
[05:44] <Desertofunknown> If a developer could help me with this i would appreciate every second of their time
[06:10] <Desertofunknown> I was disconnected
[06:11] <Desertofunknown> If there is someone who has time to help me please let me know
[09:55] <bomb> Hey, will there be Xubuntu 16.10?
[09:56] <flocculant> there is a Xubuntu 16.10
[09:57] <flocculant> http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[09:58] <bomb> Oh I missed that.
[09:59] <bomb> Hmm, stuff got ported to GTK3.
[09:59] <flocculant> no
[10:00] <flocculant> stuff is being ported to gtk3 - in a ppa, development
[10:00] <bomb> Oh
[10:01] <bomb> What's new in 16.10 then?
[10:02] <bomb> I'm trying to decide whether I should upgrade or not.
[10:07] <flocculant> not much change between 16.04 and 16.10
[13:34] <xubuntu14i> Hello! I'm installing Xubuntu 17.10 now, any ideas why the developers skipped the version convention of the year and month?
[13:35] <xubuntu14i> I meant 17.04 Silly me!
[13:36] <xubuntu14i> Zesty Zaupus, what a cool name!
[13:37] <knome> xubuntu14i, 17.04 isn't released. nothing has been dropped.
[13:37] <xubuntu14i> Huh?
[13:37] <knome> xubuntu14i, in other words, 17.04 is released in april 2017.
[13:37] <xubuntu14i> That's what I'm installing now, latest AMD64 build. Is that a bug?
[13:38] <knome> is what a bug?
[13:38] <xubuntu14i> The fact that I've somehow managed to get 17.04
[13:38] <knome> the *development* on 17.04 has (kind of) started, so yes, images are available...
[13:38] <xubuntu14i> Oh okay, is it stable enough for use?
[13:38] <knome> ...but they are not released, and will most likely break something in your system in a way or another
[13:38] <cfhowlett> but 17.04 is in no way ready for prime time
[13:39] <knome> no.
[13:39] <xubuntu14i> Ah
[13:39] <knome> that's why it's called "development"
[13:39] <xubuntu14i> Well that makes a lot of sense
[13:40] <xubuntu14i> I can't be bothered to download another image so I guess I'll just commit to being a bug tester
[13:40] <knome> well... good luck with that.
[13:41] <xubuntu14i> Thanks, it seems okay at the moment. GRUB didn't install properly though
[13:41] <knome> anyway, if you decide to do that, then consider helping the xubuntu team out by running pre-specified testcases and any other things the team might need
[13:41] <knome> the best way to get in loop with that is to join #xubuntu-devel and poke akxwi-dave
[13:41] <xubuntu14i> Okay, thank you bery much
[13:42] <xubuntu14i> *very
[13:42] <xubuntu14i> Do you know of a good Cli IRC client? I don't normally use IRC and I don't want to have a browser window open all of the time.
[13:42] <knome> i use irssi
[13:43] <xubuntu14i> Okay, thank you very much. See you later, I guess.
[20:16] <DylanHamer> Hey
[20:17] <xGrind> DylanHamer, hey
[22:20] <Rarrikins> How do I make the whisker menu bigger?
[22:21] <Rarrikins> Found it (upper right corner).
[22:31] <ngomes> hi, xubuntu 16.04 user here. how to disable the xubuntu loading screen so that it won't appear , before the login screen ?
[22:33] <Rarrikins> Do you want a different splash screen or to see what's happening during boot?
[22:34] <ngomes> i want a blackscreen
[22:34] <ngomes> i already configured framebuffer, it's a black screen but it appears something fast , the loading screen then login screeen
[22:35] <ngomes> maybe i don't want the splash screen ? ( no splash on grub options ? )
[22:35] <Rarrikins> I think you can do that by editing /etc/default/grub, and changing GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to "quiet" then running sudo update-grub2
[22:37] <ngomes> ok done , rebooting to check
[22:42] <ngomes> Rarrikins, did that. it no longer shows image but it show some hdd output
[22:44] <Rarrikins> ngomes: Is it from Linux or from BIOS?
[22:46] <ngomes> Rarrikins, from linux
[22:46] <ngomes> fsck i believe
[22:47] <Rarrikins> Are any partitions marked dirty?
[22:47] <ngomes> no always show clean
[22:47] <ngomes> no ,always show clean
[22:49] <ngomes> maybe GRUB_BACKGROUND would help ?
[22:53] <ngomes> gonna try brb
[22:56] <ngomes> GRUB_BACKGROUND did not workout
[23:03] <ngomes> thanks for all, i'll keep it like it is right now
[23:04] <ngomes> could not find a better way
[23:05] <desertofunknown> Hello there hopefully someone is on who can help me today
[23:08] <desertofunknown> I am still having the same problem from yesterday with xubuntu 16.10
[23:10] <desertofunknown> But the usb issue regarding my tethered mobile phone is not related to the kerne;
