napentathol | Hi, I am trying to boot from an xubuntu 16.04 live dvd | 03:05 |
---|---|---|
napentathol | but nothing appears on my screen | 03:06 |
napentathol | I think it is that the live cd can't drive my graphics card (gtx1070) | 03:06 |
napentathol | and it is complicated by the fact that my bios doesn't seem to be able to drive my graphics card | 03:07 |
napentathol | so I can't diagnose any boot order problems | 03:07 |
napentathol | am I just boned here, do I have to buy a new mobo, or is there something I can do to the live cd that would allow it to drive the graphics card? | 03:08 |
moetunes | napentathol: see if this helps https://askubuntu.com/questions/791439/trouble-installing-ubuntu-16-04-since-i-got-gtx-1070 | 03:11 |
napentathol | thanks moetunes | 03:12 |
napentathol | I'm pretty dumb about all this, how do I install packages onto the live cd? | 03:13 |
moetunes | like you would in a normal install | 03:13 |
moetunes | they just aren't retained | 03:14 |
napentathol | I think I need to customize the live cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 03:16 |
moetunes | tried the nomodeset kernel line at boot ? | 03:17 |
napentathol | I don't get any kind of a screen | 03:17 |
moetunes | that'd make it hard | 03:17 |
moetunes | the link I gave said they used the onboard graphics to do the install | 03:18 |
napentathol | My mobo doesn't have onboard graphics :( | 03:19 |
napentathol | Im thinking I might just bite the bullet and get a new mobo | 03:19 |
napentathol | this one is 4 years old and I kinda want a new processor anyways | 03:20 |
moetunes | luck | 03:20 |
napentathol | thanks for your help | 03:20 |
moetunes | cheers | 03:20 |
xubuntu78i | hi there! | 11:28 |
xubuntu78i | can you shed some light onto partitioning xubuntu with /, /root, /boot, /var and so on? | 11:28 |
cfhowlett | let xubuntu autopartition for best results | 11:29 |
xubuntu78i | I did, thx! | 11:29 |
xubuntu78i | anything else I need to consider after installation? | 11:30 |
cfhowlett | several, but partitioning ain't one of 'em | 11:31 |
cfhowlett | suggest you enable ufw firewall | 11:31 |
xubuntu78i | cool - :-) thx again. | 11:33 |
xubuntu78i | ufw is on my list; more fun as with ip-tables ;-) | 11:34 |
xubuntu78i | puppy has a nice "auto" FW, btw | 11:34 |

sempaksegar | how do i make my canon pixma mp280 printer/scanner work? | 11:38 |
snooweb | hello! is my ssd "bricked"? | 14:24 |
snooweb | is there a better channel to ask that? | 14:25 |
snooweb | could a oven be useful? | 14:25 |
genii | snooweb: If you suspect a hardware problem, maybe ask in ##hardware about ways to test it or confirm it's brickness | 14:52 |
snooweb | genii: thanks | 14:54 |
snooweb | i cannot send messages to ##hardware :( | 14:56 |
genii | !register | 14:58 |

nothos | Hey guys, I've just installed xubuntu 17.04 on my PC, and having a weird issue with me dual screens | 15:47 |
nothos | They're the wrong way round, but when I swap them over in Displays, the clicks seem to go to the wrong place | 15:48 |
nothos | As in clicking somewhere on the left screen will cause that click to occur on the right screen in the same place | 15:48 |
