[03:46] <cyberfall> hello can someone help me with find a log that may shead light on why my computer freeze up.. i have a nvidia gpu and if i set it to the generic nvidia it does ok but my tv screen rolls and wont change off 50 hz to 60 hz. so im force to use the nvidia driver. also my video card is a old 7300le so i cant use a updated version
[03:46] <cyberfall> this all started when i upgraded my lubuntu from 16.04 to 16.10
[15:56] <Shawn|i7-Q720M> Good Morning
[15:59] <Shawn|i7-Q720M> Anyone know if one box running lubuntu running a vnc server getting a shared connection from a laptop runnign lubuntu aswell, if the vnc box's ip address might change?
[17:50] <boblamont> I have a dual-boot setup on one computer and while in Lubuntu (but not in anything else), I'm unable to connect to the network. It started recently and I don't recall installing anything or changing any settings.
[17:50] <wxl> boblamont: what card?
[17:52] <boblamont> It's a Realtek 8111/8168/8411
[17:56] <wxl> what's the pci id?
[17:56] <wxl> maybe just pastebin `lspci -nnk`
[18:04] <boblamont> 10ec:8168 (rev 03)
[18:11] <wxl> what driver you using?
[18:13] <boblamont> r8169
[18:14] <wxl> This did work previously with that same driver?
[18:17] <boblamont> Yes, up until a few days ago.
[18:18] <wxl> hm.
[18:18] <wxl> what version of lubuntu?
[18:19] <boblamont> 16.04
[18:20] <wxl> pastebin `dmesg | grep -e eth -e r8169`
[18:20] <kiaera> I use lubuntu without installing it and noticed it won't play any sound
[18:21] <kiaera> does it mean it would not play any sound if I install it?
[18:21] <wxl> kiaera: possibly. possibly not. have you opened up alsamixer to see what's going on, if it recognizes your card, etc?
[18:22] <wxl> kiaera: also even if it's missing a driver for example, that's often a fairly simple thing to solve.
[18:22] <kiaera> I did alsamixer but it didn't work
[18:22] <wxl> what exactly happened, kiaera ?
[18:23] <kiaera> what do you mean?
[18:23] <kiaera> I opened up lasamixer and toggle the selections
[18:23] <kiaera> alsamixer
[18:23] <wxl> is it showing the right chip/card?
[18:24] <kiaera> I can't remember
[18:24] <wxl> then i'd try again
[18:24] <kiaera> wxl are you an admin
[18:24] <kiaera> who are you
[18:25] <wxl> kiaera: an admin of what?
[18:25] <kiaera> lubuntu..
[18:25] <boblamont> I'm going to do the dmesg, but I wanted to mention, I checked ifconfig and there's no eth0, it comes up as enp5s0
[18:25] <wxl> kiaera: i am one of the contributors of lubuntu, yes
[18:25] <kiaera> wow
[18:25] <kiaera> that's cool
[18:25] <wxl> boblamont: then i'd replace the eth with enp
[18:25] <wxl> kiaera: you can be, too
[18:26] <wxl> boblamont: here's another shot in the dark— try `sudo ubuntu-drivers list` and see if it gives you anything relevant to your ethernet
[18:26] <wxl> boblamont: hm! maybe that change in device enumerating has caused the problem. were you eth0 before?
[18:26] <boblamont> I believe so, that's why I checked.
[18:28] <wxl> ah actually i think that's the problem!
[18:28] <wxl> https://askubuntu.com/questions/689070/network-interface-name-changes-after-update-to-15-10-udev-changes
[18:29] <wxl> tl;dr switch the names in /etc/network/interfaces or disable the new naming with the various options given
[18:41] <boblamont> I fixed it without doing any of that, and it's still coming up as enp5s0 (but working). While reading the link, I saw that they "deleted the virtual network card" and tried deleting the entry in the connections list and creating a new one. As soon as I did that, the connection was restored. Everything else looks identical, but it works.
[18:42] <pavlushka> wxl: yeah, coz my one too, switches and works without any issue :)
[18:43] <pavlushka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23853343/
[18:46] <boblamont> thanks for the help wxl!
[18:47] <wxl> boblamont: you deleted the entry a la nm-applet?
[18:47] <wxl> cuz virtual network card is vm-specific talk :)
[18:50] <boblamont> Oh, I know it wasn't the same thing, it just reminded me that I hadn't tried deleting the settings. I just kept going with edit, seeing nothing amiss and being discouraged. Didn't think of just deleting and remaking it.
[18:50] <wxl> ah ok, great. Well that's useful to know if anyone else has the same issue.
[18:51] <wxl> I'm surprised I don't see more of this to be frank.
[18:51] <wxl> do you have any clue exactly which day this started? if so, i'd love to see your apt logs from that point
[18:57] <boblamont> No, I can't remember. It's basically my secondary system, so I jump onto it when I want to use something on it, then jump back off. The last time I needed it to, the network connection was working, but then I popped back and saw it wasn't.
[18:59] <wxl> ok well glad we got you working, boblamont. have a good day :)
[21:35] <RonWhoCares> Does GTK UVC video viewer come with it?  or does it need to be installed separate?
[21:37] <wxl> hey RonWhoCares :)
[21:38] <wxl> I have never had to deal with UVC before
[21:39] <RonWhoCares> It is what I am using for creating videos
[21:39] <wxl> it seems like there are drivers that need to be installed?
[21:40] <RonWhoCares> ok
[21:41] <wxl> OH
[21:41] <wxl> so that's why guvcview is called what it's called
[21:42] <wxl> needless to say that's a standard part of lubuntu-desktop
[21:42] <wxl> but there are drivers required for uvc DEVICES to work
[21:43] <wxl> here's some old support pages on that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UVC
[21:43] <RonWhoCares> ok
[21:43] <RonWhoCares> I expect Lubuntu will install what is needed
[21:43] <wxl> probably
[21:44] <wxl> i mean uvc is not new and afaik not proprietary
[22:15] <garywhite> My friend has a Samsung N140 netbook that he converted from Windows 7 Starter to Lubuntu 16.10, and now his CPU is displaying only 800MHz power, even though the CPU (Intel Atom N270) is a 1.6GHz unit
[22:25] <RonWhoCares> how do I load a program
[22:26] <wxl> which program?
[22:27] <RonWhoCares> I have to install it
[22:28] <wxl> which program?
[22:30] <RonWhoCares> ahh
[22:30] <RonWhoCares> I think I have it
[22:33] <RonWhoCares> ok
[22:33] <RonWhoCares> How do I make a link for the desk top
[22:34] <wxl> couple different ways https://askubuntu.com/questions/466395/how-can-i-create-a-quick-launcher-in-lubuntu
[22:41] <RonWhoCares> ok
[22:41] <RonWhoCares> got it
[22:41] <RonWhoCares> I am getting an error
[22:42] <RonWhoCares> ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
[22:43] <wxl> that's not necessarily an error
[22:43] <wxl> it's more or less a warning
[22:43] <wxl> assuming you have a valid copy of it (without the -old) and have no reason for it, you can just get rid of it to get rid of the warning but it will have no ill effect
[22:44] <RonWhoCares> lovely
[22:48] <RonWhoCares> I am not sure what to think about Lubuntu
[22:48] <RonWhoCares> Slightly different than Ubuntu
[22:48] <wxl> yep slightly. mostly simpler
[22:49] <RonWhoCares> I'll see how this goes
[22:49] <RonWhoCares> I am going to get some pain meds
[22:49] <wxl> good luck!
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> Pool time
[22:55] <RonWhoCares> Thank you
