| ubuntu595 | xubuntu 16.10 system completely freezes when i leave it running overnight - i have to do a hard reboot; any suggestions? | 01:24 |
|---|---|---|
| basedmars | Hey so I've decided to google a bit about it. How about this solution on http://askubuntu.com/a/796484 ubuntu595 | 01:28 |
| basedmars | I use ubuntu 16.04 btw. Never have freezes before | 01:29 |
| ubuntu595 | i switched from LTS bc of an issue with file manager... when i'd copy a folder with the same name it'd make a new folder (2), not a prompt to merge | 01:30 |
| ubuntu595 | and i don't think it's a memory issue though the terminal says somethign wonky atm... | 01:30 |
| ubuntu595 | i have 16gb... it reads 15gb, which i understand, but it says used 2.9gb but only 262M is free with a 12g buff/cach and 12gb available | 01:31 |
| ubuntu595 | no swap, bc i don't think swap is necessary with my usage | 01:31 |
| basedmars | From what I know, the disk will start to swap on long uptime. | 01:39 |
| ubuntu595 | hrmmmmmm | 01:40 |
| ubuntu595 | so should i turn on swap anyway? | 01:40 |
| basedmars | This could be a full ram issue. So I googled about those and I found this http://askubuntu.com/a/45009 | 01:40 |
| basedmars | Yeah I think so | 01:40 |
| ubuntu595 | i checked ram usage from when my system froze on the system monitor | 01:41 |
| ubuntu595 | they weren't higher than normal | 01:41 |
| basedmars | That solution basically saying that only swapping when the system desperately need swapping. And if they do, don't keep it in swap too much, more in memory | 01:41 |
| ubuntu595 | mmm alright i'll give that a shot then | 01:42 |
| ubuntu595 | not sure it'd work but i'm running out of ideas at this point | 01:42 |
| ubuntu595 | thanks basedmars | 01:42 |
| basedmars | Yeah you're welcome. The first answer could help too by putting intel_idle.max_cstate=1 in grub. Also, update the kernel to the latest one. | 01:44 |
| ubuntu595 | i think everything is updated as far as kernels go | 01:46 |
| ubuntu595 | aight i'm gonna try some stuff out... might be back in a few days. | 01:48 |
| xubuntu15d | help me configure ubuntu | 02:13 |

| dkessel | newbie, i guess the old netbook is an i386 machine, not 64 bit? chrome is no longer supported by google in i386 machines. your only option will be chromium. | 10:23 |
| dkessel | (or just use firefox or opera or....) | 10:24 |
| dkessel | ok, forget about opera - not longer supported either | 10:25 |
| newbie | ineed chrome for work | 10:25 |
| newbie | my computer is dead then i hoped to use old netbook while waiting for new desctop to arrive | 10:26 |

| newbie | I found a 32 bit version of chrome bt cannot install it on my xubuntu | 10:27 |
| bazhang | why not | 10:27 |
| dkessel | newbie, have you tried chromium-browser? it is very very similar to chrome and should work the same for the most purposes | 10:27 |
| dkessel | i would not advise anybody to install an unsupported browser version, for security reasons... | 10:28 |
| newbie | I told use chrome only, not sure about chromium | 10:28 |
| newbie | I see :( | 10:28 |
| newbie | im very new to linux , completely windows user till today | 10:29 |
| bazhang | why can you not install chrome | 10:29 |
| newbie | how can i get chromium- with terminal ? | 10:29 |
| dkessel | sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 10:30 |
| bazhang | sudo apt install chromium-browser | 10:30 |
| newbie | just copy it to terminal? | 10:30 |
| bazhang | yes | 10:30 |

| newbie | it had genuinely windows vista | 10:44 |

| newbie | still upgrades | 10:47 |
| newbie | strange it wants to restart browser then | 10:48 |
| bazhang | not really | 10:48 |

| flisiq | hello | 16:00 |
| flisiq | why cant i run unetbootin 494? | 16:00 |
| genii | !info unetbootin | 16:03 |
| ubottu | unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional. Version 608-1 (yakkety), package size 226 kB, installed size 827 kB | 16:03 |
| genii | Why 494 instead of 608 ? | 16:03 |
| flisiq | only 494 detects nfs partitions | 16:04 |
| flisiq | so i need that one | 16:05 |
| flisiq | cos i want to install win7 | 16:05 |
| genii | Do you mean ntfs and not nfs? | 16:06 |
| flisiq | yes | 16:08 |
| flisiq | thanks :) | 16:08 |
| flisiq | i execute the file and nothing happens | 16:08 |
| flisiq | when i run the file through terminal, i get a missing library error (which i have installed) and "no such file or directory" | 16:09 |
| xubuntu46w | my issue: I installed manjaro xfce, but would now like to install xubuntu again since I don't like it as much. However, thunar isn't recognizing my usb devices so I can't make a bootable iso with unetbootin | 19:42 |
| xubuntu46w | I don't have a CD drive so I can't burn an CD image | 19:46 |

| Lyka | i'm planning on installing xubuntu on a 2in1 netbook fresh. do i use 16.04.1 or 16.10? | 20:58 |
| Lyka | for example, does 16.10 have driver support that 16.04.1 doesn't have, does the LTS thing make 16.04.1 more desireable than 16.10? | 21:02 |
| knome | it depends on the use case, but usually you'll want the LTS | 21:04 |
| knome | hardware support will be available for LTS's with HWE (hardware enablement), though most often it's not essential to have that | 21:04 |
| knome | it you have a very new machine, then it might be more essential | 21:05 |
| Lyka | asus t100ha | 21:06 |
| knome | nope, that's not "very new" | 21:07 |
| knome | you can always use the live DVD to see if the hardware works as expected | 21:07 |
| Lyka | i hope the repair shop knows what they are doing, i'd hate to have to do more than wipe the ssd... | 21:11 |
| Lyka | it had a damaged charge port when it went in | 21:12 |
| Lyka | (and had been pre-wiped by me with the default win10) | 21:13 |
| * Lyka wonders if the repair guy is reading this... | 21:15 | |
| knome | heh | 21:22 |
| knome | not me :) | 21:22 |

| xubuntu13w | Hi everyone. I'm in need of help with my 16.10 installation. Everything works fine until I receive the error message "grub-efi-amd64-signed failed to install into /target/" | 22:37 |
| xubuntu13w | Then the installer fails and I have to reboot into the live session (which I'm currently using to seek help). | 22:37 |
| xubuntu13w | One solution I found online was to modify the filename "grub-efi-amd64-signed_1.9~ubuntu12.04.4+1.99-21ubuntu3.10_amd.deb" by adding "64" at the end before .deb | 22:41 |
| knome | xubuntu13w, sounds weird, try asking #ubuntu as this is not a xubuntu-specific problem and there are more people there who can help | 22:41 |
| xubuntu13w | thanks | 22:42 |
| xubuntu13w | how can I join #ubuntu from this room? | 22:42 |
| knome | /join #ubuntu | 22:42 |
| xubuntu13w | thanks | 22:42 |
| knome | np, hope you'll find an answer soon | 22:42 |
