[09:54] <kaili> Hello. I had to install 17.04 on my laptop because hardware material (wifi driver, 4k touch screen, etc http://paste.ubuntu.com/24220603/ ) was much better than with the kernel shipped with 16.10. However I can't get nvidia driver to work, I get a no device / no screen detected (boot to black screen and restore nouveau in console mode)
[09:54] <kaili> Can anyone help me find out if it's a bug related to 17.04 or if it's related to my hardware being yet hardly supported ?
[10:33] <ikonia> kaili: how are you installing the nvidia driver ?
[10:33] <kaili> sudo apt-get install nvidia-375
[10:33] <kaili> Wrong ?
[10:33] <ikonia> not at all
[10:34] <ikonia> although I don't know if that is just the 16.10 build moved to 17.04 - or if it is the 17.04 target
[10:34] <ikonia> what does the xorg log say ?
[10:36] <kaili> ikonia: screen not found / device not detected : http://paste.ubuntu.com/24218142/
[10:37] <kaili> There are also a few error messages such as xf86OpenConsole: setpgid failed: Operation not permitted
[10:37] <kaili> Not sure if it's fatal error through
[10:39] <kaili> oh yes I generated the xorg conf file running nvidia-xconfig
[10:39] <kaili> If that helps...
[10:44] <kaili> maybe as it it an optimus laptop, I should directly install bumblebee-nvidia instead of nvidia-375 hm
[10:45] <ikonia> bumblebee is dead
[10:45] <ikonia> it was replaced with nvidia prime
[10:46] <ikonia> kaili: I don't think the nvidia module is loading
[10:47] <ikonia> (I can see it trying, but then it unloads it and reloads it)
[10:47] <ikonia> that would explain why you have no card detected
[10:48] <kaili> Sounds like a bug then
[10:51] <kaili> I'm going to try sudo apt-get install nvidia-375 nvidia-prime mesa-utils
[10:51] <kaili> Perhaps it will work out better
[10:53] <ikonia> I always find the optimus stuff troublesome, partly because I don't have huge experience with it, partly because I just don't find it a mature solution on linux
[10:56] <kaili> I agree, thing is I need the hdmi out on the nvidia card and nouveau doesn't handle it it seems (external monitor detected but no signal sent)
[10:59] <kaili> Trying again to reboot
[11:11] <kaili> It seems to work with nvidia-prime instead of bumblebee
[11:12] <kaili> glxgears at 5348.461, I guess it's the nvidia card
[11:13] <ikonia> thats useful to know
[11:13] <ikonia> well done
[11:16] <kaili> And the hdmi out is working now as well :D
[11:18] <kaili> hm just a screen resolution problem left, signal going out using 1920*1080 but not using external monitor max 2560*1440 (no signal)
[11:21] <kaili> Let's do some more crash tests. Thanks for the help
[12:48] <chrisfromgreece> hello
[12:48] <chrisfromgreece> i need help
[12:49] <chrisfromgreece> on ubuntu 17.04 daily builds i can't connect to any wifi network ! tried on two computers and many wifi adapters
[12:49] <chrisfromgreece> on ubuntu 17.04 daily builds i can't connect to any wifi network ! tried on two computers and many wifi adapters
[12:51] <chrisfromgreece> !ask on ubuntu 17.04 daily builds i can't connect to any wifi network ! tried on two computers and many wifi adapters
[12:52] <chrisfromgreece> is anyone there?
[12:53] <brunch875> chrisfromgreece: yes, there are 114 in total
[12:53] <chrisfromgreece> on ubuntu 17.04 daily builds i can't connect to any wifi network ! tried on two computers and many wifi adapters
[12:54] <brunch875> Yeah, seen that 4 times. IRC is kind of like interactive forums
[12:54] <k1l_> its not about make and model of the wifi adapters, its about the wifi chip they use.
[12:54] <brunch875> you'll have to wait until someone who knows notices
[12:54] <k1l_> if they all got the same crappy chip, all are the same crap.
[12:55] <chrisfromgreece> i'm using betas and dailybuilds for years ? but first time i see a bug like this
[12:55] <chrisfromgreece> tried to connect to wifi from command line but nothing
[12:56] <k1l_> if you think that is a bug, the file a bug report
[12:56] <chrisfromgreece> is there anyone that tried dailybuilds or beta1
[12:56] <brunch875> chrisfromgreece: I'm running the daily build right now
[12:56] <k1l_> i am running 17.04 with wifi just fine
[12:56] <brunch875> on wifi
[12:56] <k1l_> chrisfromgreece: so again: its about that exact wifi chip. not wifi in general
[12:57] <chrisfromgreece> ?
[12:57] <k1l_> wifi works in 17.04. so get the facts about the wifi chips you use.
[12:58] <brunch875> chrisfromgreece: some wifi chips are problematic
[13:00] <chrisfromgreece> my wifi chip is not problematic i'm getting the best connection speed
[13:00] <k1l_> …
[13:01] <chrisfromgreece> and it can work day and night without any problems never disconnects
[13:01] <chrisfromgreece> but if you insist its something about the chipset i have some older wifi adapters should i try those ?
[13:05] <brunch875> I'm not sure I understand. Your wifi doesn't connect but it doesn't disconnect either?
[13:08] <k1l_> chrisfromgreece: you just said your wifi doesnt work, then you say your wifi works without issues. does this make sense?
[13:09] <chrisfromgreece> you didn't follow
[13:10] <chrisfromgreece> i said that my wifi adapter is not crappy  i used to have no problems at all with ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10
[13:11] <k1l_> i am not saying your wifi adapters are broken hardwarewise. i am saying that its about the very specidifc chipset in use in those adapters. they do need specific drivers. and sometimes those drivers are broken. so go and look at that instead of complaining, that "wifi doesnt work at all on 17.04"
[21:59] <kaili> Hello again. I got my graphic card (Geforce 940MX) HDMI output working. However it as some weird limitations : HDMI output is limited to 1920*1080. As soon as I switch to 2560*1440 (monitor optimal resolution) I get "no signal" on the monitor
[21:59] <kaili> The graphic card is able to handle up to 4K monitor, so 2560*1440 should be no problem. Anyone can give me a hand investigation this problem ?
[22:00] <k1l_> any adapters involved?
[22:08] <melodie> kaili which chipset, processor, kernel version?
[22:08] <melodie> and did you install the proprietary driver?
[22:09] <kaili> Here is the inxi output : https://paste.ubuntu.com/24224604/
[22:09] <kaili> Yes I got it working earlier today
[22:09] <kaili> No adapter, direct connection through HDMI plug of my laptop to HMDI plug on the monitor
[22:11] <kaili> Basically kernel is 4.10.0-11 and graphics cards are Intel Device 5916 & NVIDIA GM108M [GeForce 940MX]
[22:12] <kaili> Both handle the 4K of the laptop touch screen and it's working flawlessly
[22:15] <kaili> I'm thinking perhaps the hdmi plug is connected to the Intel HD Graphics 620 and while it can handle the 4K screen, the HDMI output was limited to 1920*1080
[22:15] <kaili> That would be stupid but checking that in the specs...
[22:17] <k1l_> its common setup on hybrid cards, that the plug is intel and the dedicated video card is only for computing if needed.
[22:17] <k1l_> so there can be limits that the plain nvidia card doesnt have.
[22:20] <kaili> k1l_: Max Resolution (HDMI 1.4)‡ 4096x2304@24Hz
[22:21] <kaili> From full specs found on this thread : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=294312
[22:22] <kaili> Right ?
[22:24] <k1l_> kaili: dont look at general chip specs. look at the mainboard you use
[22:24] <kaili> k1l_ : But there is not so much details in specs given by HP about the HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-bl0XX :(
[22:35] <kaili> According to HP forum "The Intel HD 620 is fully able to drive a pair of 4K monitors."
[23:08] <kaili> I'm starting to think that it might be the HDMI cable fault and not ubuntu
