[00:36] 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] Specifically xrandr (for example) says I only have a 'Screen 0: minimum 1024 x 768' (aka the default dumb screen) [00:38] It worked once, when I ran the nvidia install script, my xorg.conf file got replaced (it still looks fine) [00:38] but after reboot, it comes up as the default. [00:38] Screen connection is DVI-D to HDMI (running DVI over HDMI) monitor is a Dell 2K monitor [00:40] There is an error in Xorg..log which says "/dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: permission denied" [00:46] Trolling through dmesg it seems that fb0 is being set to the 'efi frame buffer' (which is the onboard Intel graphics?) [00:47] 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] And then I see a nouveau probe of 0000:01:00.0: which fails (unknown chipset) [00:50] And I never see the nvidia driver probe, I am presuming I should if it is run. [01:00] If I re-run the nvidia installer, it whines that it is already installed, but I tell it to install anyway [01:01] and when I restart the xserver the my xubuntu desktop pops up. [01:01] At 'high' resolution, and xrandr tells me that I'm attached to the DVI-D port at 2560 x 1440. [01:06] my best guess is that there is a kernel module dependency somewhere that is killing things. [01:11] cmcmanis, i would remove xorg.conf and try again [01:11] you don't really need it anyway [01:12] interesting idea. I've tried re-writing it but not removing it. [01:13] hi! [01:14] hallo? [01:14] ? [01:14] I want to ask:How many people is using xubuntu? [01:15] everyone [01:15] in this channel? [01:15] no,over the world [01:15] that's almost impossible to know [01:16] you have to call everyone up and ask. [01:16] . [01:16] :-/ [01:17] There isn't any subsystem in xubuntu that 'phones home' to tell who is using it. [01:18] 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] . [01:18] So asking back. Lets say that the answer is "10 people" how does that help you? [01:18] http://netmarketshare.com/report.aspx?qprid=9&qpaf=&qpcustom=Linux&qpcustomb=0 [01:19] that's about the closest i think you can get [01:19] thanks [01:19] What use is that information to you? [01:19] but thats for all linux not xubuntu [01:20] . [01:20] COLOUR_BLUE: Why do you keep putting periods on a single line by themselves? [01:20] and that number is really not real anyway, just an educated guess [01:21] cmcmanis: I want to know it to view the popularity of xubuntu [01:21] And if it is "popular" or "not popular" what will change for you? [01:22] but i just want to know the number... [01:22] Not much to say, I went to see statistics. [01:22] Then you are free to pick any number you want, no one will be able to prove you are not correct. [01:23] i am a student in China [01:23] no free times... [01:24] bye === pavlushka is now known as Guest82012 === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka === vinzv_ is now known as vinzv [19:47] Hi, can I have support for xubuntu here? [19:49] if you're lucky [19:49] Galliard_: ask a question - if someone looking can help they will [19:53] 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] Sorry for my bad english [19:56] 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] 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] So youdon't reccomend me to use boot repair to try to fix the problem? [20:04] Galliard_, if it doesn't boot then of course you have nothing to lose anyway, you can try it. [20:06] 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] well at least when you reinstall the system first thing you have o do is: [20:07] 1. boot into live session from USB or DVD [20:07] 2. find your home partition [20:07] 2. ctrl+h to see the hidden files [20:07] oh it was 3 [20:08] 4. remove all the folders that start with a dot (e.g .config) [20:08] 5. reboot and start a new installation [20:08] Ok thanks for the hint [20:09] WARNING: remove only those that start with a dot and don't touch the other ones like Pictures, Documents and so on [20:09] 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] Galliard_, also [20:10] you can try to create a new user just now [20:10] and see if the problem persists [20:11] Uh you're right, how i create a new user? [20:13] Galliard_, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-sudo-user-on-ubuntu-quickstart [20:13] Thanks [20:16] Thanks a lot for the support @diogenes [20:17] yw come with feedback [20:17] where can I give you the feedback? [20:18] It's the first time form me joining this chat [20:18] here on hexxhat === TheMaster is now known as Unit193
