[03:05] <napentathol> Hi, I am trying to boot from an xubuntu 16.04 live dvd
[03:06] <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)
[03:07] <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
[03:08] <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?
[03:11] <moetunes> napentathol:  see if this helps https://askubuntu.com/questions/791439/trouble-installing-ubuntu-16-04-since-i-got-gtx-1070
[03:12] <napentathol> thanks moetunes
[03:13] <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
[03:14] <moetunes> they just aren't retained
[03:16] <napentathol> I think I need to customize the live cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[03:17] <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
[03:18] <moetunes> the link I gave said they used the onboard graphics to do the install
[03:19] <napentathol> My mobo doesn't have onboard graphics :(
[03:19] <napentathol> Im thinking I might just bite the bullet and get a new mobo
[03:20] <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
[11:28] <xubuntu78i> hi there!
[11:28] <xubuntu78i> can you shed some light onto partitioning xubuntu with /, /root, /boot, /var and so on?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> let xubuntu autopartition for best results
[11:29] <xubuntu78i> I did, thx!
[11:30] <xubuntu78i> anything else I need to consider after installation?
[11:31] <cfhowlett> several, but partitioning ain't one of 'em
[11:31] <cfhowlett> suggest you enable ufw firewall
[11:33] <xubuntu78i> cool - :-) thx again.
[11:34] <xubuntu78i> ufw is on my list; more fun as with ip-tables ;-)
[11:34] <xubuntu78i> puppy has a nice "auto" FW, btw

[11:38] <sempaksegar> how do i make my canon pixma mp280 printer/scanner work?
[14:24] <snooweb> hello! is my ssd "bricked"?
[14:25] <snooweb> is there a better channel to ask that?
[14:25] <snooweb> could a oven be useful?
[14:52] <genii> snooweb: If you suspect a hardware problem, maybe ask in ##hardware about ways to test it or confirm it's brickness
[14:54] <snooweb> genii: thanks
[14:56] <snooweb> i cannot send messages to ##hardware :(
[14:58] <genii> !register
[14:58] <genii> You likely need to be registered before being able to speak there.
[14:59] <snooweb> genii: oh! :p thanks!
[15:47] <nothos> Hey guys, I've just installed xubuntu 17.04 on my PC, and having a weird issue with me dual screens
[15:48] <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
