[00:16] hello people [02:30] hi there [02:30] early afternoon in south pacific, french new caledonia [02:31] can anybody explain me why my wifi connection doesn't work anylonger since I have decided to make a on shot try of a xubuntu 16 live usb ? [02:32] I'm a xubuntu 14 lts user and it worked very good until I had this stupid idea to test 16 lts. [02:34] Note that I made a test using a xubuntu 14 LTS live usb and my wifi work !!!! How can I fix it without making a new installation of xubuntu 14 === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [02:57] is there way to check if an install went properly? [02:58] When I was prompted to reboot my system after installing 16.10, the screen froze and I had to force shutdown. Everything seems to be fine now though. I just want to make sure there are no issues with the install. [02:59] From what I remember, the error message mentioned something like "error: no PCI controller, you may experience issues" and there was another line mentioning the encryption software I think [03:06] Anything? [03:07] it is very early in Europe. We have to wait [04:10] Hello, I'm Fernando [04:11] I'm having problems connectin to repositories, all souces fail [04:11] but I have internet connection [04:12] no idea were to start [04:28] Suddenly itś working again. Thankyou anyway. [04:29] any special tricks to getting floppy drives to work? [04:31] I remember I did it work few years ago, by simpli using mount [04:33] glitchd [04:33] I mean I mounted floppys [04:36] Is it an external USB floppy drive? [04:36] xubuntu44o, no its an internal floppy that i just installed on the machine, it is an older machine tho [04:40] I guess floppy device is /dev/fd0 [04:40] should be [04:40] yep it is [04:41] so "mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy [04:42] you have to create mount directory firs [04:42] you can use any directory you want [04:43] im running the command now [04:43] you can first chenck filesystem integrity using fdisk [04:43] mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device [04:43] fdisk /dev/fd0 [04:43] thats what the first command returned [04:44] im not sure if the disks are any good tbh [04:44] running fsck now [04:44] fdisk: cannot open /dev/fd0: No such device or address [04:45] thats from fsck [04:45] so im still not sure if the drive is bad or the disk is bad itself [04:47] try this: If you start fdisk comman the use tab key to show autocompletion [04:48] will showyou available devices (at least it does here in my xubuntu) [04:50] xubuntu44o, yep it lists the drive "fd0" [04:50] but cannot open it [04:51] fidk: cannot open /dev/fd0: no such device or address [04:51] but the light comes on when i attempt to access it which makea me think just the disk itself is bad [04:53] glitchd, it could be the drive o the disk [04:53] how old is the drive? [04:53] have you ever use it recently [04:53] only god knows at this point [04:54] ok [04:54] im not sure which computer it came out of [04:54] it was in a stash of hardware that i have [04:54] rather it was in one of the towers that ihave and dont use anymore [04:54] you'd beter take it off, clean it and put it again [04:54] but hardware none the less [04:55] like open it and clean it? [04:55] im really feeling like its the disks that are bad [04:55] but at the same time, how could a pack of 20ish disks all go bad together [04:55] unless they were stored on speaker magnet lol [04:56] my experience is that old aquipment get dirty [04:57] true enough [04:57] I leave in a place like california, where there is a lot of dust on the air [04:57] im in texas [04:58] ok [04:59] be carefull cleaning the drive, those are sensible [04:59] yep yep [04:59] ill tackle it tomorrow [04:59] im tired as shit already [04:59] ok [04:59] nice to meet you [05:00] you too bud, thx for the help [05:00] ;) [05:01] would you mind writing to me the result? [05:02] my email is fernandoduo@yahoo.com [05:10] JOIN [05:42] Hi there, anyone who wants to help through my wifi problem [05:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23541523/ [06:05] xubuntu63w: If you don't get sufficient help here, you can also try in the main #ubuntu channel. [06:26] ok thanks [08:11] i keep getting the error "executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' install failed. This is a fatal error." [08:11] im on a lenovo ideapad with windows 10 installed === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [20:32] Hello. Any idea which routing daemons are used on xubuntu? I keep reading they are routed and gated, but have no man pages for them. Why is that? [20:32] I am learning about dynamic routing and routing daemons and would like to be pointed in the right direction. [20:33] Correction: I read that routed and gated can be found on most TCP/IP implementations [20:40] can't help you with the thing itself, but anything that is said to work on ubuntu should work on xubuntu too [20:41] It's not a compatibility issue, more of a research one. I'm trying to figure out which routing daemons are used on my system. [20:43] maybe you are looking for the package net-tools [20:43] (and specifically, it's description and contents) [20:43] what do you mean? There's netfilter in linux kernel and iptables in userspace [20:45] I could not find a manual page for netfilter. I'm wondering if there exist man pages for kernel processes or daemons? [20:46] Hello everyone, just installed 16.04 and security updates, after suspend and trying to resume the screen is black [20:47] Is this a know issue¿is there a workaround? [20:47] Try ctrl-alt F1, followed by ctrl-alt F7 see if that clears it up
