[01:24] <ubuntu595> xubuntu 16.10 system completely freezes when i leave it running overnight - i have to do a hard reboot; any suggestions?
[01:28] <basedmars> Hey so I've decided to google a bit about it. How about this solution on http://askubuntu.com/a/796484 ubuntu595
[01:29] <basedmars> I use ubuntu 16.04 btw. Never have freezes before
[01:30] <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...
[01:31] <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
[01:39] <basedmars> From what I know, the disk will start to swap on long uptime.
[01:40] <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
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <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
[01:44] <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.
[01:46] <ubuntu595> i think everything is updated as far as kernels go
[01:48] <ubuntu595> aight i'm gonna try some stuff out... might be back in a few days.
[02:13] <xubuntu15d> help me configure ubuntu
[02:14] <xubuntu15d> i have tried a bunch of configurations but failing miserably
[02:15] <xubuntu15d> there are probablt 6 distros on my cromebook
[02:15] <xubuntu15d> i have already had kali-linux up and running but i want something with a graphical interface
[02:18] <knome> xubuntu15d, you'll have to tell people what kind of help in customizing you want for them to be able to help
[02:25] <flisiq> hello
[02:25] <flisiq> why i cant download anything with chrome on xubuntu?
[07:20] <xubuntu72i> ircchat while installing. awesome
[10:18] <newbie> hi
[10:19] <newbie> i need some help
[10:19] <newbie> i installed Xubuntu on old netbook and need to get chrome
[10:19] <newbie> but cannot find a way to do it
[10:21] <bazhang> chrome from google?
[10:22] <bazhang> they have their own repos I suppose
[10:22] <bazhang> !info chromium-browser
[10:23] <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.
[10:24] <dkessel> (or just use firefox or opera or....)
[10:25] <dkessel> ok, forget about opera - not longer supported either
[10:25] <newbie> ineed chrome for work
[10:26] <newbie> my computer is dead then i hoped to use old netbook while waiting for new desctop to arrive
[10:26] <newbie> yes it is 32 bit
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <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 :(
[10:29] <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 ?
[10:30] <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> I will try right now
[10:31] <newbie> it said cannot install chromium
[10:32] <newbie> or not mentioned in sources
[10:32] <bazhang> did you first sudo apt update
[10:32] <bazhang> then sudo apt upgrade
[10:32] <newbie> no, just copied sugo get
[10:32] <newbie> and sudo install
[10:32] <bazhang> do those first
[10:33] <newbie> first sudo update?
[10:33] <bazhang> sudo apt update
[10:33] <bazhang> sudo apt upgrade
[10:33] <bazhang> use apt in there
[10:34] <newbie> updated
[10:34] <bazhang> now upgrade
[10:34] <newbie> upgrade?
[10:34] <bazhang> sudo apt upgrade
[10:35] <newbie> doing
[10:35] <bazhang> once that is finished, then sudo apt install chromium-browser
[10:36] <newbie> 83% now
[10:36] <bazhang> let it finish
[10:36] <newbie> aha waiting
[10:37] <newbie> it is generating something
[10:37] <newbie> it written
[10:38] <bazhang> yeah let it completely finish that
[10:39] <newbie> :) how great to meet so helpful person
[10:39] <newbie> i was completely frustrated
[10:39] <bazhang> thats what irc is, on a FOSS network
[10:40] <newbie> still it doing something
[10:40] <newbie> :)
[10:40] <bazhang> we can wait
[10:40] <newbie> Thank you
[10:41] <bazhang> these things take time, on the first install etc
[10:42] <newbie> I tried ubuntu yesterday but it was not responding almost to anything
[10:42] <bazhang> the channel?
[10:42] <newbie> found xubuntu can work on older hardware and installed it
[10:43] <newbie> no, OS
[10:43] <newbie> i guess netbook too old
[10:43] <bazhang> how old
[10:43] <newbie> 2009 with atom processor
[10:43] <newbie> 1gb ram
[10:44] <newbie> 1600 processor
[10:44] <newbie> it had genuinely windows vista
[10:44] <newbie> but even new didnt fit to it
[10:44] <newbie> was slow
[10:44] <bazhang> if xubuntu proves too slow, you can install lubuntu-desktop and then select that from the login window
[10:45] <newbie> I will keep it in mind.
[10:45] <newbie> as i found xubuntu is good. and more windowslike
[10:45] <bazhang> lets try to get chromium-browser on that first
[10:45] <newbie> yes
[10:46] <newbie> how long time are you llinux user? if you dont mind a question
[10:47] <bazhang> did the upgrade finish yet
[10:47] <newbie> it said i have to restart firefox for updates
[10:47] <newbie> will you be here some more?
[10:47] <newbie> no
[10:47] <newbie> still upgrades
[10:48] <newbie> strange it wants to restart browser then
[10:48] <bazhang> not really
[10:48] <newbie> can ignore it?
[10:48] <bazhang> firefox gets security updates all the time
[10:49] <bazhang> just note down how to install chromium
[10:49] <bazhang> sudo apt install chromium-browser
[10:50] <bazhang> If I am not here, others can surely finish up with that
[10:50] <newbie> after updates write sudo install?
[10:51] <bazhang> sudo apt install chromium-browser
[10:51] <bazhang> you need 'apt' in there
[10:52] <newbie> sudo apt install chromium-browser
[10:52] <newbie> after updates
[10:52] <bazhang> yes
[10:52] <newbie> something else?
[10:52] <bazhang> for that package, no
[10:52] <newbie> thank you very much Bazhang
[10:53] <bazhang> no problrm
[10:53] <bazhang> and problem
[10:53] <newbie> :) it means a lot for me, support of experienced user
[11:03] <newbie> will restart ff
[11:16] <newbie> chromium installing!
[12:59] <Ziberius> hello
[13:00] <Ziberius> I have a problem with my wifi, I am no longer able to connect to a wifi, it seems like it's disabled and iwconfig shows no wifi adapter
[13:01] <Ziberius> any tips on how to "debug" this
[13:01] <cfhowlett> !wifi | Ziberius
[13:27] <knome> andyfied, hello, having connection problems?
[16:00] <flisiq> hello
[16:00] <flisiq> why cant i run unetbootin 494?
[16:03] <genii> !info unetbootin
[16:03] <genii> Why 494 instead of 608 ?
[16:04] <flisiq> only 494 detects nfs partitions
[16:05] <flisiq> so i need that one
[16:05] <flisiq> cos i want to install win7
[16:06] <genii> Do you mean ntfs and not nfs?
[16:08] <flisiq> yes
[16:08] <flisiq> thanks :)
[16:08] <flisiq> i execute the file and nothing happens
[16:09] <flisiq> when i run the file through terminal, i get a missing library error (which i have installed) and "no such file or directory"
[19:42] <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
[19:46] <xubuntu46w> I don't have a CD drive so I can't burn an CD image
[20:58] <Lyka> i'm planning on installing xubuntu on a 2in1 netbook fresh. do i use 16.04.1 or 16.10?
[21:02] <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?
[21:04] <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
[21:05] <knome> it you have a very new machine, then it might be more essential
[21:06] <Lyka> asus t100ha
[21:07] <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
[21:11] <Lyka> i hope the repair shop knows what they are doing, i'd hate to have to do more than wipe the ssd...
[21:12] <Lyka> it had a damaged charge port when it went in
[21:13] <Lyka> (and had been pre-wiped by me with the default win10)
[21:15]  * Lyka wonders if the repair guy is reading this...
[21:22] <knome> heh
[21:22] <knome> not me :)
[22:37] <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).
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <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
