[03:23] one night with the google pixel and it is a sweet device [03:23] really nice [03:23] squish102 Which one? [03:25] i got the smallest one for my daughter [03:26] i ordered the XL with 128G for myself, but only shipping in Jam [03:26] Jan [03:26] Cool [03:26] wife got samsung S7, and I think pixel is much better (i have a hate for samsung) [03:30] Samsung's alright, if you get rid of their software [03:34] hardware is nice... preinstalled crap that makes it hard to uninstall is bad [03:35] like i have a note 4 and whenever you connect to the car with bluetooth and i have to put volume up [03:35] Eh, power off, vol down + home + power, some other steps, makes it better. Never got to experience a nexus before though [03:35] it gives me a warning and i have to accept the louder volume. [03:36] Yeah.. Aux cable here, same thing [03:36] * theblazehen hasn't built a rom that takes my modem for my phone yet [03:36] samsung doesnt give you a way to get rid of it unless you root [03:52] all i hear now is my daughter going "ok google" [06:10] mornings [06:10] hi thatgraemeguy [06:11] squish102 why not increase the volume on your car? [06:14] maybe he chose his car brand poorly as well so needs to root the car to change any settings as well :p [06:19] MaNI heh. I'd like a car I could root [06:23] theblazehen: One of the new Tesla cars? They run Linux, so you should be able to get root somehow [06:23] paddatrapper sounds fun.

[13:26] superfly: There is the trick [13:26] Langjan: Forked the codebase to make iterum, yes [13:26] im here [13:27] hi Langjan [13:27] Thats Greek to me paddatrapper [13:27] Kilos: I know you are, I just needed to test something [13:27] hi Kilos hoe gaan dit? [13:27] superfly: Looks like it takes the system's timezone? (assume that it is running on a server in SAST time) [13:27] Langjan: superfly and I are upgrading him [13:27] Maaz ddg hello [13:27] paddatrapper: aaaahhh!!!! [13:27] evening [13:28] haha [13:28] paddatrapper: now my bug report makes sense [13:28] ok dankie Langjan het geslaap [13:28] Good then he will bring real coffee?

[13:30] ok so whats the challenge [13:30] but now it boots on black screen where logo and progress bar should be [13:30] oh my [13:30] now i'm here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143330/how-can-i-customize-the-ubuntu-boot-up-logo [13:31] see if there is anything called splash screen [13:31] its the splash missing [13:31] the process is too complicated for me, hoped you will guide me thro it [13:31] yes [13:31] ok let me see [13:33] did you download it [13:33] yes [13:33] I would actually like to do this but I think I need to get screen back first: http://askubuntu.com/questions/775301/unable-to-use-a-custom-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-16-04lts [13:33] then just run those commands one at a time in terminal [13:34] im sure the splash comes with the gui [13:34] can you open synaptic [13:35] Have done a few times, dead end with plymouth module "(/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/plymouth//.so)" missing, skipping that theme [13:35] ai! [13:36] yes synaptic been there too [13:36] ok its open [13:36] type in ubuntu in synaptic [13:36] then right click reinstall everything thats installed [13:36] ok [13:37] i looked in here and dont see kubuntu-desktop anymore [13:37] maybe ubuntu-desktop still exists [13:37] Im sure it does, I did reinstall desktop [13:38] oh my and no splash screen [13:38] no [13:39] I get that plymouth message every time [13:39] hmm... [13:39] how did you get rid of your virus [13:39] have repaired and reinstalled those packages, no diff [13:40] ok lets try something else [13:40] OK I know I should have kept notes, sorry boss [13:40] so you can read the boot in info [13:41] you mean during boot - grub? yes [13:41] i need to find where it is [13:41] yes [13:41] i think usr [13:41] hmm... [13:41] or etc [13:41] hmm... [13:42] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [13:42] ok then I must close synaptic [13:43] and stop the ubuntu process [13:43] if something is running then wait [13:44] no im still marking the ubuntu items [13:44] but terminal should interfere [13:44] ok do that first then man [13:44] ai! [13:44] erminal will wait for synaptic to stop [13:44] ek sukkel met die ou mense [13:44] theres some biiiig files [13:44] ok im in no rush [13:45] i go make coffee [13:45] you sidetracked me, its only about 70 MB [13:45] running now [13:46] cheeky youngster...

[13:54] done [13:55] ok bye for now [13:55] not uipdate grub first? [13:55] oh ya [13:56] sudo update-grub [13:56] sukkel met julle jongmanne... [13:56] well done old man [13:56] lmga [13:56] so cheeky [13:58] oh my he got lost [13:58] oh my i made a mistook [13:59] Maaz tell langjan in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" delete quiet splash between the " " [13:59] Kilos: Got it, I'll tell Langjan on freenode [13:59] ai! ek word oud [14:00] hi there [14:00] Langjan: By the way, Kilos on freenode told me "tell langjan in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" delete quiet splash between the " "" 42 seconds ago [14:00] undo what i told you to do in that line oom [14:00] skuus man [14:01] that is remove the hash in front of it [14:02] and delete only quiet splash not the 2 " " goodies [14:02] ai sukkel met julle jongmanne [14:02] ok [14:03] now update-grub and reboot again?

[14:05] Kilos: Righto, I'll ask Langjan on freenode [14:05] i go find headache pills [14:07] No diff except for millions of small letters and also bigger writing. I believe the key is here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/775301/unable-to-use-a-custom-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-16-04lts [14:07] Langjan: By the way, Kilos on freenode told me "ask langjan can you read that fast???" 2 minutes and 11 seconds ago [14:08] not quite that fast [14:08] lol [14:08] i believe you can pause it to catch up [14:08] then you can read if there are errors in booting [14:09] how? press pause? [14:09] ask inetpro [14:09] maybe pause works [14:09] i always take too long to find the pause button [14:11] that looks like the fix Langjan [14:11] will make you think though [14:11] and that could be painful [14:11] No difference except for a lot of new letters on boot [14:11] no man [14:12] http://askubuntu.com/questions/775301/unable-to-use-a-custom-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-16-04lts [14:12] you need to undo changes in /etc/default/grub [14:15] thats all too high geeky for me unless i can do it slowly and bit by bit [14:15] maybe easier way id to ask paddatrapper to write a script for you [14:16] something like lets fix the ooms blunders script [14:16] you should have left the kde boot logo man [14:16] * paddatrapper sees a wall of text [14:16] dont fix what isnt broken [14:16] lol [14:16] What am I doing now? [14:17] Langjan s unty booted with the kde logo because i think he installed kubuntu then put a unity gui over it [14:17] so always showed the kde boot logo even though on unity desktop [14:18] that was a virus in his old mend [14:18] mind [14:18] so he removed it but dunno how [14:18] KDE boot logo where? [14:18] no work for you paddatrapper [14:18] was a joke [14:18] you know when kde starts [14:19] the kubuntu boot logo shows [14:19] Sounds like he's still using KDE's login manager... Switching that to whatever Unity uses should do it [14:19] * paddatrapper will read the backlog now now [14:19] rest man well g through things [14:19] go [14:20] Hi paddatrapper [14:20] the ubuntu logo shows on shutdown [14:20] Hey Langjan [14:20] Langjan https://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjjj4Chp-fQAhUpLcAKHVUeBa0QFggoMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Faskubuntu.com%2Fquestions%2F129218%2Fhow-to-return-the-login-screen-to-the-default&usg=AFQjCNHGZXwRzg9IloDPCiSS-hzO1yuaFQ [14:20] ai!

[14:28] whats a de [14:29] Desktop Environment [14:29] have they dropped lightdm [14:29] Sorry, DM = display manager [14:29] i would have reinstalled lightdm then installed gdm then you get to choose which one you want to use [14:30] surely that would have worked? [14:30] no [14:30] thanks for jumping in superfly [14:31] because they both start up at the same time, and then you end up with a computer that boots to a black screen because they're fighting for control [14:31] can you tell him what to do please [14:31] nono [14:31] Kilos: but changing your DM is not going to fix your bootsplash [14:31] ai ai ai [14:31] Hi guys, I did the sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and its back and working. Many thanks [14:31] gdm and lightdm give you an option to choose one or the other [14:32] ai!
