[03:32] <Cubensis> im having a problem with one of my drivers, i dont understand how to fix this, i get an extremely choppy framerate when i try to play videos or play games. i used sudo lshw -html > mySpecs.html to get the specs and this one comes up red https://pastebin.com/VGYqAyt4
[03:33] <Cubensis> but the vga controller is fine apparently
[03:33] <Cubensis> can someone help me fix this?
[03:33] <Cubensis> im trying to run that card on xubuntu 16.04.2
[03:35] <Cubensis> is there a way to fix this without downgrading to xubuntu 14?
[08:21] <not_not_a_bot> Normally I cant google fu my way through any issues i have but this one has me stumped, particularly due to it being difficult to google.    For some reason I can't type any passwords into the terminal.  And yes I'm fully aware that passwords are not echo'd in the terminal... however that fact is also making this hard to troubleshoot.   I can sign in at the lightdm splash no problem, and I can use gksudo (or whatever graphical r
[08:21] <not_not_a_bot> and the password is accepted
[08:23] <not_not_a_bot> though I cannot use sudo,  and even more odd I cant sign in sign into a vps of mine via ssh either
[08:23] <not_not_a_bot> im running xubuntu 16.04 on a thinkpad X1
[08:23] <not_not_a_bot> fresh instal
[08:24] <not_not_a_bot> this has been super hard to find any information via google because every single result is someone who doesnt know that its normal to not see any characters while typing a password into a terminal
[08:25] <not_not_a_bot> which is definitely not my issue lol.
[08:27] <not_not_a_bot> I should note, when i type a password into the terminal and press enter, Im getting "Permission denied, please try again."
[08:29] <not_not_a_bot> Sorry for the flood, and I appreciate any help, even a wild guess at where i could start troubleshooting would get me further than i am now
[08:38] <knome> what's the error message on ssh?
[08:39] <not_not_a_bot> both
[08:39] <not_not_a_bot> sorry both are the same
[08:39] <knome> have you read any logs related to this?
[08:39] <not_not_a_bot> "Permission denied, please try again."
[08:39] <knome> they might give you more information
[08:40] <not_not_a_bot> oh like on my vps?
[08:40] <not_not_a_bot> thats a good idea
[08:40] <knome> for example
[08:40] <knome> or /var/log/auth.log
[08:47] <not_not_a_bot> ugh, Im on a live usb at the moment and I cant access my server because of these issues lol.   Which reminds me, the whole reason im on a live usb is after installing xubuntu (with disk encryption) Im unable to enter my password to unlock the disk, certain keys ('7',  DEL, and several more) suddenly cause my screen to flicker and the the input to go crazy entering in a tonne of characters i didnt type, I subsequently have to reb
[08:49] <not_not_a_bot> hmm guess i can use my phone to log into ssh
[08:49] <knome> or just look at the auth log locally first
[08:53] <not_not_a_bot> im on a live usb right now so I havent  run into the issue locally since booting, and I cant enter the passphrase for my disk encryption so Im not able to check the logs in my local install
[08:54] <not_not_a_bot> contemplating head2desk smash
[08:55] <not_not_a_bot> i could reinstall xubuntu again, I guess im going to have to regardless at somepoint
[08:55] <not_not_a_bot> im kinda just thinking out loud, forgive me
[08:55] <knome> no worries
[10:56] <xubuntu49o> hi guys how do I install on an ATOM notebook?
[11:06] <xubuntu78i> Hi there! I am expecting trouble in xubuntu 16.04.2

[11:07] <xubuntu78i> Got a display settings on opening lid again, but no suspending
