[01:23] MorganLeFlay: you can try the updated wubi [01:23] MorganLeFlay: doesn't seem like it would be easy [01:24] MorganLeFlay: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/easy-way-install-ubuntu-within-windows.htm [01:24] https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi [01:24] !install | MorganLeFlay [01:24] MorganLeFlay: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [01:24] SwedeMike: original wubi is no longer supported, it last worked on 11.04 or maybe 12.04 [01:25] so that link is really really not going to help [01:25] it will also severely break the system if it's UEFI. [01:26] fundamentally you need to boot (or be booted) from media which isn't the hard drive you're about to modify, right? so like PXE could work, or putting the hard drive in another machine [01:27] the real question is probably, why can't you use usb or a cd?

[04:52] lucas-arg: not sure where the setting is, but you'd want to make sure the pixel order on your monitor is reflected in the settings [04:53] like if your screen goes RGBRGBRGB and ubuntu thinks its GRBGRBGRB then fonts will look bad [04:53] i think it might be just my lcd monitor... its an hd lcd monitor...

[06:36] capella, yeah. I can use the mouse but that is so slow when there are hundreds of lines. [06:46] mmmm, you know you can position your cursor, scroll the UI via mouse then hold SHIFT and click into the new cursor position and all text in between is seelcxted ? [06:46] if you're in an editor and not read-only of course [07:01] capella, well that kind of works. you need to select at least 1 character to select between the two points but that still means you need to scroll with the mouse [07:02] its kind of crappy. with a trackpad its actually more like shitty often scrolling upward as you have to use two fingers to select text [07:02] is there a terminal that is gui that only does keyboard commands [07:10] hey newbie question about setting up an ELK stack.

[11:47] Hello. My UI scale keeps resetting (some kind of bug). Is there a command I can run to set the scale instead of setting it through the "Displays" settings GUI which takes too long to do frequently? [11:48] should I use xrandr? [11:50] why would xrandr change the behaviour ? [11:50] and to be clear is it the desktop scale or the actual display resolution that is being reset [11:52] ikonia: desktop scale [11:52] ok - so xrandr doesn't control your desktop scale [11:52] you need to look at the specifics around the desktop you're using and how it saves/stores your desktop ocnfig [11:52] config [11:53] ikonia: When I change the "Scale for menu and title bars" in the Setting->Displays app, it changes the scale for everything, applications included. That's what I've been using. [11:53] ikonia: but on 17.04 it resets, its a known bug [11:53] fuser: ok, so re-read what I said [11:53] fuser: where is the bug for it ? [11:53] (what is the bug reference) [11:53] im just asking what command I use instead of using the setting->displays app [11:53] ill get it [11:54] (what is the bug reference) [11:54] im getting it [11:54] understood [11:55] hi all im just installing ubuntu server on a drive which has data i want to keep. it is FAT32 i think. how can i install to this drive without loosing my data? [11:55] Dreamscape: you cant [11:55] Dreamscape: you need to backup the data off the fat32 partition if that is the partition you want to use [11:55] damn, what would you recommend i do as i have no other drives big enough to back up.. [11:56] I recommend you backup the data you want, or buy a new drive to install on it [11:56] ikonia: Bug #1690520, Bug #1689356 [11:56] bug 1689356 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1690520 UI scale being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1689356 [11:56] bug 1689356 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "UI scale being reset to 1 everytime when display sleeps for a while" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1689356 [11:56] make a smaller partition for the OS and keep the existing partition in place but make it smaller [11:56] that would work? [11:56] fuser: lets have a look at the info [11:56] Dreamscape: making additional partitions would work yes, [11:56] Dreamscape: if the data is only on one drive then you don't really 'have' the data anyway. You're in a precarious position with or without ubuntu. One fall and it could be over ;( [11:57] Dreamscape: howver be aware that partitioning/chaning the partition table is a risk also, so again, backup your data [11:57] indeed :) that's why i came here haha [11:57] ok thanks [11:57] Well you can try keeping the data in one partition than install ubuntu on the other ones [11:57] Its a big risk, so i would back up if i was you [11:58] fuser: so at this time there is very little info on it beyond a confirmed bug, [11:59] Dreamscape: realistically though if you're comfortable enough with partitions to know NOT to delete your huge FAT then you should be relatively good as far as I know. Like don't choose 'Use the entire disk' or something silly ;( [12:00] yeah I will be fine :) thanks for the help guys [12:00] ikonia: And thus: what command can I use so I don't have to use a GUI everytime? [12:00] fuser, btw, xrandr seems to have a --scale flag (you can try xrandr --output myscreen --scale 1x1 ) [12:00] fuser: you don't use a command for this [12:01] fuser: the problem is with the daemon, not the interface to the daemon [12:01] im not trying to fix the problem, im trying to set the scale faster [12:01] fuser: I wonder if there is a way to not use the daemon, and actually hardcode it [12:01] fuser: I wouldn't bet on this bug getting fixed or priority with unity being ended [12:01] ioria: i'll try that, thanks [12:02] fuser, np [12:02] fuser: within the gnome-config-database there should be a few parameters that set the desktop scale settings (scale/font/etc) I wonder if you could set them manually and disable the config daemon [12:03] or even, just disable the daemon, set the parameters through the gui, does that work ? [12:03] ikonia: what is this daemon you speak of? [12:03] fuser: have you read the bug ? [12:03] unity-settings-daemon [12:04] ahh right, yeah i get crash notifications for that [12:04] ? [12:04] "for that" ? [12:04] yeah now I know why it's resetting, I forgot that detail [12:04] the daemon crashes [12:05] it's just that I get the crash notifications at random times it seems so it wasn't correlated with the scale resetting [12:05] so have you tried disabling the daemon [12:05] no i'll try that [12:06] anyone knows how to set tor as default browser in liferea ? [12:10] (This is such a confusing time for the Linux desktop. I wish we had a good, stable, and non-controversial Desktop environment that changes little throughout the years) [12:10] what are you talking about ? [12:10] what is confusing ? [12:10] of course the change to Wayland is good though, imo [12:10] ikonia: stop being a general [12:10] what ? [12:10] you're acting like a soldier or something [12:11] no, I'm asking you what you are talking about [12:11] everything is changing, nothing is perfect [12:11] nothing is changing [12:11] oh really, unity -> gnome ?? [12:11] ikonia: disabling unity-settings-daemon will break unity (ubuntu) session no? At least on 16.04 that's defined in RequiredComponents [12:11] unity is canonical only [12:11] a1exas: the general approach i would use is to boot from a live usb stick of the same ubuntu release and architecture, then ensure all (layered) devices are available, and to chroot into them. then replace all device paths by UUIDs (based on blkid output) in all of lvm.conf (if any), crypttab and fstab. finally run update-grub and update-initramfs and double-check that the 'root' directive in grub.cfg points to the right UUID [12:11] and gnome has been around for a long long time, even in gnome 3 version [12:11] ikonia: and I'm here speaking on the Ubuntu channel [12:12] glitsj16: I don't know, I'm asking [12:12] fuser: it's hardly confusing is it ? we are dropping one of our desktops as the default (leaving the others) and making another the default, unity will still be available [12:12] ikonia: gnome has been radically changed and they've been rewriting gtk, which is good long term but makes things confusing today [12:12] fuser: gnome 3 has been gnome 3 for many years [12:13] not confusing in the slightest, at least 3 years [12:13] Well if you have a 4k monitor, an Nvidia card, and want something that works and isn't strange looking. Then it's hard to find something. [12:13] unity has worked well though [12:13] mostly [12:14] Of course once the whole Nvidia Wayland fuss is over, then things will simplify a bit. [12:14] no desktop really supports high densirt pannels [12:14] there is no nvidia wayland fuss ? [12:15] I'm not sure what you're actually talking about [12:15] there is a change that ubuntu is changing it's default desktop from unity to gnome.....thats it [12:15] fuser: would you mind checking /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session to see if unity-settings-daemon is still referenced in that file? If it is, and you're going to disable it for your scaling issue, it will most-likely break your login.. we need to confirm how that's done in 17.04.. makes sense? [12:15] glitsj16: nice idea [12:17] ikonia: No. Everything is being radically changed and that's good but confusing during the transition. And the nvidia fuss I spoke of, is the EGLStreams vs GBM IIRC which means some Wayland desktops support Nvidia right now, others don't. [12:17] if you use proprietary drivers [12:17] fuser: nothing is really changing, it's been a slow evolution over years [12:17] glitsj16: okay, one sec [12:17] the wayland and nvidia inclusion has not been a problem, only really canonical had a problem, hence forking to mir [12:18] fuser: no rush, thinking about another way you could try to deal with the scaling issue in the mean time [12:19] glitsj16: Yeah it's referenced. "RequiredComponents=unity-settings-daemon;" [12:19] ikonia, from what i've read nvidia has no support for wayland atm on any DE [12:20] BluesKaj: the desktops just aren't using the current extension presentation [12:22] fuser: yeah, that's what i thought, still same as in 16.04.. have you tried using gsettings yet for the scaling issue? I don't know if that is the key unity-settings-daemon uses, but you would see an immediate change or not with 'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 0' [12:23] glitsj16: It changes for less than a second, but goes back to what is set in the Displays settings. [12:24] ikonia, current extension presentation? what's that mean? [12:25] fuser: okay, if you have dconf-editor installed, you could look around in the dconf db and look for a similar key with the 'unity' name instead of gnome [12:27] fuser: irritating bug damn.. i'm away from home and don't have access to a ubuntu right now, otherwise I'd have done that already [12:29] https://www.forbes.com/sites/bishopjordan/2017/07/07/bitcoin-millionaire/ [12:30] moriarty: why are you posting that link all over freenode?

My issue is i tried all sorts of distros but most of them have subpar visual performance ( animations are laggy, scrolling is laggy, etc. ). What are my best options other then using some old version of some distro to be able to install fglrx ? [14:39] Last version of ubuntu that supports fglrx is 15.x but it's not really up to date. :D [14:40] nightwalkerkg, which desktop? [14:40] BluesKaj: You mean DE ? I am fine with any. [14:40] As long as it works fine and doesn't lag. [14:41] using a lighter DE might help [14:41] hi guys, i have ASUS USB N-10 Wifi, why every time it boots to desktop, i have to unplug and replug in order for it to work? [14:41] is there something i can do about it? [14:41] lxde for example [14:41] having to reboot without unplugging the usb ? [14:41] nightwalkerkg,6 [14:41] oops [14:41] i have ASUS N-10 wifi usb [14:41] I mean, it's not that really old of a PC. I do have a quad core 3.8GHz cpu, 8GB of DDR3 ram, etc, etc. [14:42] Not really high-end. [14:42] Oh, i'll give lxde a try. [14:42] is there a way to have ubuntu activate wifi automatically? [14:42] Any others i should look into ? [14:42] then you're ok , use the amdgpu driver , nightwalkerkg [14:42] is help on the way? [14:46] anyone? [14:47] my USB ASUS N10 wifi does not automatic startup when ubuntu starts [14:47] i have to unplug and replug in order for it to work [14:47] why is that? [14:50] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2241067 [14:51] immu, u dont get it man [14:51] it is working now [14:51] but the problem is when i reboot ubuntu [14:51] it won't start [14:51] the wifi [14:51]
