| cmcmanis | ok, this is a bit weird. I've got an nvidia card, running the 375 driver, and when I reboot it doesn't recognize my monitor | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| cmcmanis | Specifically xrandr (for example) says I only have a 'Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768' (aka the default dumb screen) | 00:37 |
| cmcmanis | It worked once, when I ran the nvidia install script, my xorg.conf file got replaced (it still looks fine) | 00:38 |
| cmcmanis | but after reboot, it comes up as the default. | 00:38 |
| cmcmanis | Screen connection is DVI-D to HDMI (running DVI over HDMI) monitor is a Dell 2K monitor | 00:38 |
| cmcmanis | There is an error in Xorg.<x>.log which says "/dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: permission denied" | 00:40 |
| cmcmanis | Trolling through dmesg it seems that fb0 is being set to the 'efi frame buffer' (which is the onboard Intel graphics?) | 00:46 |
| cmcmanis | I don't recall an option to disable any on board frame buffer, and the boot sequence does come through on my monitor which is only connected to the Nvidia card | 00:47 |
| cmcmanis | And then I see a nouveau probe of 0000:01:00.0: which fails (unknown chipset) | 00:49 |
| cmcmanis | And I never see the nvidia driver probe, I am presuming I should if it is run. | 00:50 |
| cmcmanis | If I re-run the nvidia installer, it whines that it is already installed, but I tell it to install anyway | 01:00 |
| cmcmanis | and when I restart the xserver the my xubuntu desktop pops up. | 01:01 |
| cmcmanis | At 'high' resolution, and xrandr tells me that I'm attached to the DVI-D port at 2560 x 1440. | 01:01 |
| cmcmanis | my best guess is that there is a kernel module dependency somewhere that is killing things. | 01:06 |
| GridCube | cmcmanis, i would remove xorg.conf and try again | 01:11 |
| GridCube | you don't really need it anyway | 01:11 |
| cmcmanis | interesting idea. I've tried re-writing it but not removing it. | 01:12 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | hi! | 01:13 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | hallo? | 01:14 |
| cmcmanis | ? | 01:14 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | I want to ask:How many people is using xubuntu? | 01:14 |
| cmcmanis | everyone | 01:15 |
| GridCube | in this channel? | 01:15 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | no,over the world | 01:15 |
| GridCube | that's almost impossible to know | 01:15 |
| cmcmanis | you have to call everyone up and ask. | 01:16 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | . | 01:16 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | :-/ | 01:16 |
| cmcmanis | There isn't any subsystem in xubuntu that 'phones home' to tell who is using it. | 01:17 |
| cmcmanis | Further what use would the number be? My system for example lets me start xubuntu, ubuntu, or cinammon as choices, how would you mark me down? | 01:18 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | . | 01:18 |
| cmcmanis | So asking back. Lets say that the answer is "10 people" how does that help you? | 01:18 |
| GridCube | http://netmarketshare.com/report.aspx?qprid=9&qpaf=&qpcustom=Linux&qpcustomb=0 | 01:18 |
| GridCube | that's about the closest i think you can get | 01:19 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | thanks | 01:19 |
| cmcmanis | What use is that information to you? | 01:19 |
| GridCube | but thats for all linux not xubuntu | 01:19 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | . | 01:20 |
| Unit193 | COLOUR_BLUE: Why do you keep putting periods on a single line by themselves? | 01:20 |
| GridCube | and that number is really not real anyway, just an educated guess | 01:20 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | cmcmanis: I want to know it to view the popularity of xubuntu | 01:21 |
| cmcmanis | And if it is "popular" or "not popular" what will change for you? | 01:21 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | but i just want to know the number... | 01:22 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | Not much to say, I went to see statistics. | 01:22 |
| cmcmanis | Then you are free to pick any number you want, no one will be able to prove you are not correct. | 01:22 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | i am a student in China | 01:23 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | no free times... | 01:23 |
| COLOUR_BLUE | bye | 01:24 |

| Galliard_ | Hi, can I have support for xubuntu here? | 19:47 |
| diogenes_ | if you're lucky | 19:49 |
| flocculant | Galliard_: ask a question - if someone looking can help they will | 19:49 |
| Galliard_ | I have a known issue while booting, the bug "error: no symbol table". I'm trying to fix it using boot-repair; the tool now asks me "do you want to have all grub2 files removed from /boot/grub?" I'm a bit scared of mess up my boot and can't boot again after excecution of the tool. What should I do? | 19:53 |
| Galliard_ | Sorry for my bad english | 19:53 |
| Galliard_ | I think I have this problem because I've installed xubuntu in the same partition of the old OS (Ubuntu 14.04) without wipe it | 19:56 |
| diogenes_ | Galliard_, what I would suggest is to back up your data and reinstall BUT this time do a fresh install by removing all the previous installation. | 19:59 |
| Galliard_ | So youdon't reccomend me to use boot repair to try to fix the problem? | 20:00 |
| diogenes_ | Galliard_, if it doesn't boot then of course you have nothing to lose anyway, you can try it. | 20:04 |
| Galliard_ | The problem is that I don't have space on all my devices to backup data, so I was trying to find something to do without wiping the partition | 20:06 |
| diogenes_ | well at least when you reinstall the system first thing you have o do is: | 20:06 |
| diogenes_ | 1. boot into live session from USB or DVD | 20:07 |
| diogenes_ | 2. find your home partition | 20:07 |
| diogenes_ | 2. ctrl+h to see the hidden files | 20:07 |
| diogenes_ | oh it was 3 | 20:07 |
| diogenes_ | 4. remove all the folders that start with a dot (e.g .config) | 20:08 |
| diogenes_ | 5. reboot and start a new installation | 20:08 |
| Galliard_ | Ok thanks for the hint | 20:08 |
| diogenes_ | WARNING: remove only those that start with a dot and don't touch the other ones like Pictures, Documents and so on | 20:09 |
| Galliard_ | Now, the bug is not blocking m boot, is only a "graphic bug" so I think reinstall the system doesn't worth it | 20:09 |
| diogenes_ | Galliard_, also | 20:10 |
| diogenes_ | you can try to create a new user just now | 20:10 |
| diogenes_ | and see if the problem persists | 20:10 |
| Galliard_ | Uh you're right, how i create a new user? | 20:11 |
| diogenes_ | Galliard_, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-sudo-user-on-ubuntu-quickstart | 20:13 |
| Galliard_ | Thanks | 20:13 |
| Galliard_ | Thanks a lot for the support @diogenes | 20:16 |
| diogenes_ | yw come with feedback | 20:17 |
| Galliard_ | where can I give you the feedback? | 20:17 |
| Galliard_ | It's the first time form me joining this chat | 20:18 |
| diogenes_ | here on hexxhat | 20:18 |
