| SuperMatt | So, with the rising tide of ridiculousness in politics, I want to volunteer my techy skills with some grassroots campaigns. Anyone know of any? | 08:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | you could give classes on how to keep your communications safe to various groups | 08:57 |
| SuperMatt | That's not a bad idea | 08:59 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | even regular presentations on malware, phishing attempts and latest insecurities might help | 09:10 |

| popey | SuperMatt: perhaps get in touch with the mySociety people. They do good things. https://www.mysociety.org/ | 09:20 |
| popey | e.g. they run https://www.writetothem.com/ | 09:20 |
| SuperMatt | ah right, that's cool | 09:20 |
| SuperMatt | I just remembered the EFF exists too | 09:20 |
| SuperMatt | and ORG | 09:20 |
| popey | ORG deffo needs help | 09:22 |
| SuperMatt | Yeah, I just looked at their meetup page, and the only event they have planned is a trip to the science museum | 09:22 |

| Azelphur | having a fun issue on Ubuntu 16.10, turn machine on, it boots, I can see the wallpaper, screen flickers on for about 500ms, before turning off for around 3 seconds, then repeating. Checked xorg and lightdm logs but nothing is going on in them. any ideas? | 19:44 |
| davmor2 | Azelphur: what's the graphics stack? | 20:00 |
| Azelphur | davmor2: just a radeon r9 390 on the open source drivers | 20:04 |
| davmor2 | Azelphur: hmm not sure then sorry, only thing I can think of is to maybe have a look in systemctl rather than the logs if you can | 20:05 |
| Azelphur | I was looking in systemctl for lightdm | 20:06 |
| Azelphur | Can you look at systemctl for X? | 20:06 |
| davmor2 | Azelphur: more general issues than specifically for x but I think it will tell you if x crash, other thing would be to check /var/crash | 20:07 |
| Azelphur | davmor2: empty directory :( | 20:11 |
| Azelphur | davmor2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsV8Z-qe0EY for reference, flickering starts after it boots at 50 seconds-ish | 20:13 |
| popey | Azelphur: did you say it logs in then you see the flicker? | 20:18 |
| popey | or crapping out at login screen? | 20:18 |
| Azelphur | nah, it's crapping out at the login screen | 20:18 |
| Azelphur | although I can't remember if I set it to automatically login | 20:18 |
| popey | Yeah, I'd be inclined to look in the usual /var/log places | 20:20 |
| popey | but also if you have autologin, look in ~/.xsession-errors.log (I think it's called) | 20:20 |
| Azelphur | popey: that unity-settings-daemon stuff looks dodgy, https://dpaste.de/vB0k | 20:28 |
| popey | Azelphur: there's an askubuntu question about resetting unity somewhere | 20:32 |
| popey | might be worth doing | 20:32 |
| popey | just puts all the compiz nonsense back to default | 20:32 |
| popey | http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration | 20:33 |
| popey | part way down | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | oO, found a problem | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* channel eq failed: 5 tries | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | getting that being spammed like mad in journalctl -xef | 20:33 |
| popey | ooh | 20:34 |
| popey | no idea about ATI/AMD, sory | 20:34 |
| popey | *sorry | 20:34 |
| Azelphur | There's a PPA for newer kernels right? might try bumping onto that | 20:34 |
| popey | yeah | 20:34 |
| popey | !mainline | 20:34 |
| lubotu3 | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 20:34 |
