[00:36] <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
[00:37] <cmcmanis> Specifically xrandr (for example) says I only have a 'Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768' (aka the default dumb screen)
[00:38] <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
[00:40] <cmcmanis> There is an error in Xorg.<x>.log which says "/dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: permission denied"
[00:46] <cmcmanis> Trolling through dmesg it seems that fb0 is being set to the 'efi frame buffer' (which is the onboard Intel graphics?)
[00:47] <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
[00:49] <cmcmanis> And then I see a nouveau probe of 0000:01:00.0: which fails (unknown chipset)
[00:50] <cmcmanis> And I never see the nvidia driver probe, I am presuming I should if it is run.
[01:00] <cmcmanis> If I re-run the nvidia installer, it whines that it is already installed, but I tell it to install anyway
[01:01] <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.
[01:06] <cmcmanis> my best guess is that there is a kernel module dependency somewhere that is killing things.
[01:11] <GridCube> cmcmanis, i would remove xorg.conf and try again
[01:11] <GridCube> you don't really need it anyway
[01:12] <cmcmanis> interesting idea. I've tried re-writing it but not removing it.
[01:13] <COLOUR_BLUE> hi!
[01:14] <COLOUR_BLUE> hallo?
[01:14] <cmcmanis> ?
[01:14] <COLOUR_BLUE> I want to ask:How many people is using xubuntu?
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <cmcmanis> you have to call everyone up and ask.
[01:16] <COLOUR_BLUE> .
[01:16] <COLOUR_BLUE> :-/
[01:17] <cmcmanis> There isn't any subsystem in xubuntu that 'phones home' to tell who is using it.
[01:18] <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
[01:19] <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
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <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?
[01:22] <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.
[01:23] <COLOUR_BLUE> i am a student in China
[01:23] <COLOUR_BLUE> no free times...
[01:24] <COLOUR_BLUE> bye
[19:47] <Galliard_> Hi, can I have support for xubuntu here?
[19:49] <diogenes_> if you're lucky
[19:49] <flocculant> Galliard_: ask a question - if someone looking can help they will
[19:53] <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
[19:56] <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
[19:59] <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.
[20:00] <Galliard_> So youdon't reccomend me to use boot repair to try to fix the problem?
[20:04] <diogenes_> Galliard_, if it doesn't boot then of course you have nothing to lose anyway, you can try it.
[20:06] <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:
[20:07] <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
[20:08] <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
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <Galliard_> Uh you're right, how i create a new user?
[20:13] <diogenes_> Galliard_, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-sudo-user-on-ubuntu-quickstart
[20:13] <Galliard_> Thanks
[20:16] <Galliard_> Thanks a lot for the support @diogenes
[20:17] <diogenes_> yw come with feedback
[20:17] <Galliard_> where can I give you the feedback?
[20:18] <Galliard_> It's the first time form me joining this chat
[20:18] <diogenes_> here on hexxhat
