[06:20] <vincenzoml> Hi there, I have no /etc/rc.local on ubuntu 17.04; is it because there's another way to run simple commands at boot?
[15:51] <ThePendulum> 'lo
[15:52] <ThePendulum> I understand 17.04 will be released (stable) the 13th?
[15:52] <k1l_> yes
[15:52] <ThePendulum> ace, I'm curious if at some point the display driver issue I had since 16.04 have been addressed
[15:53] <ThePendulum> I want to move away from 15.10 ASAP >.>
[15:55] <k1l_> urgs, 15.10
[15:55] <ThePendulum> exactly >.>
[16:38] <DJones> ThePendulum: 15.10 hasn't been supported since July 2016, no wonder you're looking to upgrade to 16.04,then 16.10 and then 17.04
[17:11] <ThePendulum> DJones: yeah, but being able to use my dual monitor setup is vital and going back to 14.04 was ehh
[17:12] <k1l_> ThePendulum: i wonder why that should not be fixable.
[17:12] <tgm4883> ThePendulum: Is there something special about your particular dual monitor setup? My dual monitor setup works fine
[17:12] <ThePendulum> k1l_: it probably is, but that was beyond me
[17:13] <ThePendulum> tgm4883: it seems to be pretty specific to Dell monitors, it was some sort of timing issue
[17:13] <ThePendulum> I could only get the 2nd display to work if I set it at a lower resolution
[17:13] <tgm4883> odd
[17:13] <tgm4883> I think I've got Dell monitors at the office, but I'd have to wait until Wednesday to verify
[17:14] <k1l_> 16.04.2 ships the 16.10 kernel and xorg, that might be worth a try
[17:15] <ThePendulum> I think I've tried 16.10 when it was released as well and the issue was still present
[17:15] <ThePendulum> talked about it for hours in #ubuntu and in here at the time, made an issue, no one seemed to have a clue
[17:20] <ThePendulum> I suppose I could try a beta from a flash drive, unlikely if the issue still exists on that it'll be resolved in the stable
[17:31] <tgm4883> ThePendulum: do you have a bug report somewhere?
[17:34] <ThePendulum> let me try to dig it up
[17:35] <vak> hi all
[17:36] <vak> should one wait for 13th of April to install Ubuntu 17 or one could install it already and get all things via the package upadates?
[17:39] <k1l_> vak: with running updates it will become the final release on release date, yes.
[17:40] <vak> k1l_: thank you for reply. Is there any reason *not* to install it now and wait until 13th of April?
[17:40] <k1l_> if you need to ask, dont run alpha/beta/RC versions :)
[17:41] <k1l_> things can break, so if you need to worry about possible breakage, better stay with final releases
[17:44] <k1l_> vak: look at the topic in here
[17:44] <vak> k1l_: thank you :)
[18:07] <teli1331> Hi, how to reinstall software center?
[23:07] <soupnanodesukar> https://paste.ubuntu.com/24351228/
[23:07] <soupnanodesukar> results in a soft lockup on the desktop
[23:08] <soupnanodesukar> happens in 16.10 too after I upgraded mesa from oibaf ppa last night, which forced my hand to upgrade in hopes that it would not be in 17.04
[23:08] <soupnanodesukar> but alas, no luck
[23:09] <soupnanodesukar> afterwards, dmesg is spammed with [TTM] Cleanup eviction failed
[23:23] <soupnanodesukar> So I just uninstalled virtualbox so now I know that's not at fault
[23:23] <soupnanodesukar> dmesg log: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24351308/
[23:24] <soupnanodesukar> soft lockups and lots of io page faults
[23:25] <soupnanodesukar> luckily i can still ssh into it
[23:25] <soupnanodesukar> please respond
[23:38] <soupnanodesukar> i don't get page faults rebooting into recovery
[23:39] <soupnanodesukar> so something is up with the graphics stack
[23:42] <soupnanodesukar> anyone?
[23:53] <soupnanodesukar> well i just booted into xenial using a usb stick running 4.8
[23:54] <soupnanodesukar> i still have the page faults but at least the desktop doesn't lockup
[23:54] <soupnanodesukar> except for every two seconds or so when moving the mouse
[23:57] <soupnanodesukar> so i think i can say that anything with the latest packages (including 17.04) is going to reproduce lockups
[23:57] <soupnanodesukar> apparently probing my rx480 produces page faults but probing my 7750 does not
[23:58] <soupnanodesukar> oh well
[23:59] <soupnanodesukar> there's going to be a lot of complaints in #ubuntu if this isn't fixed, obviously.
