[03:12] <symant> could anyone help?
[03:14] <symant> i got skip
[03:58] <bin_bash> i'm trying to upgrade my dad's laptop with 14.04 to 16.04, and everything was running smoothly until the installer ran into a problem configuring python3-systemd. The unattended-upgrades files were thought to have been upgraded locally, and a new gui opened with a dropdown of options, one of which was "open a new shell to examine the situation" i foolishly assumed that would actually work, and selected it,
[03:58] <bin_bash> only to freeze the unattended upgrade dialogue completely. now the install i hanging at configuring python3-systemd
[03:58] <bin_bash> how can i fix this? idk what to do
[04:10] <symant> Drone`: front ask
[09:46] <John[Lisbeth]> how do I turn down my brightness?
[09:46] <diogenes_> from battery icon on the panel
[09:47] <John[Lisbeth]> lol figured it out one second before you said that
[09:47] <John[Lisbeth]> thanks
[09:47] <diogenes_> :)
[09:47] <diogenes_> newbie?
[13:42] <muertos> Yo what up? Anyone here no of issues with getting sound to function on Xubuntu 16.10. I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting and various other things google suggested to no avail.
[13:43] <muertos> homonyms are hard. know*
[13:48] <muertos> Also, I'm a bit of an X/ubuntu noob. I'm sure output of things are needed, just let me know!
[13:48] <flocculant> muertos: is this a new install?
[13:48] <muertos> relatively, ~month and a half old.
[13:49] <flocculant> mmm - so an update and it stopped working?
[13:49] <muertos> That's what it would appear. It was working at one point, then I believe a apt-get update caused the sound to stop.
[13:50] <flocculant> mmm
[13:50] <flocculant> muertos: recently?
[13:51] <muertos> This was about a month ago, I have stopped trying to fix it since.
[13:52] <muertos> I'm not really getting errors I can work with either, I've been checking dmesg and /var/log/syslog. Are there any other locations I can check?
[13:53] <muertos> Something tells me this is related to dbus / the desktop environment not talking to the sound server or something along those lines.
[13:53] <flocculant> not sure - sound is something I rarely have issues with so never needed to dig
[13:53] <muertos> Ah ok, no worries!
[13:53] <flocculant> I'd have looked in /var/log/aapt/history.log when it happened
[13:53] <muertos> Yeah I think I'm just going to reinstall the OS.
[13:53] <muertos> Ah
[13:53] <flocculant> s/aapt/apt
[13:54] <flocculant> to see what updated and broke it
[13:54] <flocculant> what I would also do is check pavucontrol to make sure 'my' outputs are set up correctly
[13:56] <muertos> Mk, will do, appreciate the guidance. And will 'my' outputs be obvious when I check?
[13:58] <flocculant> muertos: I hope so - mine are :)
[14:07] <muertos> An issue I did note is that pavucontrol itself works when run from the command line, but when I check the sound from the desktop toolbar it appears to connect to pavucontrol differently and I get a failure to connect to the pulseaudio server
[15:34] <bonsaitree> I am allowed to ask a Libre Office Calc question please? I have asked in their channel too, but i am not sure how well supported their official channel is.
