[08:48] Morning all [08:48] o/ [08:51] Morning all [08:54] So, with the rising tide of ridiculousness in politics, I want to volunteer my techy skills with some grassroots campaigns. Anyone know of any? [08:57] you could give classes on how to keep your communications safe to various groups [08:59] That's not a bad idea [09:07] Morning all [09:10] even regular presentations on malware, phishing attempts and latest insecurities might help === Victor is now known as Guest58150 [09:20] SuperMatt: perhaps get in touch with the mySociety people. They do good things. https://www.mysociety.org/ [09:20] e.g. they run https://www.writetothem.com/ [09:20] ah right, that's cool [09:20] I just remembered the EFF exists too [09:20] and ORG [09:22] ORG deffo needs help [09:22] Yeah, I just looked at their meetup page, and the only event they have planned is a trip to the science museum [09:49] morning boys and girls. [10:05] morning [10:06] morning [10:20] Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Inspire Your Heart With Art Day! 😃 🖌 [10:27] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmY4fNaXXgc easy === haris is now known as Guest77373 [19:44] 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? [20:00] Azelphur: what's the graphics stack? [20:04] davmor2: just a radeon r9 390 on the open source drivers [20:05] 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 [20:06] I was looking in systemctl for lightdm [20:06] Can you look at systemctl for X? [20:07] 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 [20:11] davmor2: empty directory :( [20:13] davmor2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsV8Z-qe0EY for reference, flickering starts after it boots at 50 seconds-ish [20:18] Azelphur: did you say it logs in then you see the flicker? [20:18] or crapping out at login screen? [20:18] nah, it's crapping out at the login screen [20:18] although I can't remember if I set it to automatically login [20:20] Yeah, I'd be inclined to look in the usual /var/log places [20:20] but also if you have autologin, look in ~/.xsession-errors.log (I think it's called) [20:28] popey: that unity-settings-daemon stuff looks dodgy, https://dpaste.de/vB0k [20:32] Azelphur: there's an askubuntu question about resetting unity somewhere [20:32] might be worth doing [20:32] just puts all the compiz nonsense back to default [20:33] http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration [20:33] part way down [20:33] oO, found a problem [20:33] [drm:radeon_dp_link_train [radeon]] *ERROR* channel eq failed: 5 tries [20:33] getting that being spammed like mad in journalctl -xef [20:34] ooh [20:34] no idea about ATI/AMD, sory [20:34] *sorry [20:34] There's a PPA for newer kernels right? might try bumping onto that [20:34] yeah [20:34] !mainline [20:34] 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 [21:12] [21:20] AMD and 16.04+ still seems to be a nightmare atm :)
