| sary | Xubuntu 17.04 installer ubtiquity while installing grub-efi-amd-signed , https://imgur.com/gallery/n7DU4 | 11:37 |
| sary | crashed. | 11:38 |
| diogenes_ | I've had that issue on other distro, there's little you can do about it | 11:39 |
| sary | my first attempt was to install with/in USB BIOS lagecy mode , the boot got stuck at " A start job is running for ubuntu live cd installer ". | 11:40 |
| sary | that failed, so had to try in EFI mode. | 11:40 |
| sary | Well, am still on the live session and was offered to report a bug .. am loolking at launchpad page.. | 11:41 |
| diogenes_ | maybe you should try 16.04? | 11:42 |
| sary | here is the thing , this machine was flyin' 16.04 , whilst upgrading with do-release-upgrade , somehow it skiped 16.10 and went straight to 17.04 .. then it got stuck the display/login manager with no mouse/keyboard response. | 11:44 |
| diogenes_ | sary, so reinstall the stable 16.04 and don't touch the upgrade-sist | 11:45 |
| diogenes_ | dist* | 11:45 |
| sary | i want this machine to be on 17.10.. | 11:46 |
| diogenes_ | you said it was flying on 16.04? | 11:46 |
| sary | I'm not sure why you're trying to skip the fact that 17.04 is buggy..! | 11:47 |
| sary | correct. | 11:47 |
| diogenes_ | I personally follow more conservative views, if I know that something works fine for me, what else do I need? why upgrade and have a broken system if my previous installation works fine? | 11:48 |
| knome | sary, 17.10 isn't released yet and it will likely have more bugs than 17.04 | 12:05 |
| sary | diogenes_: sure that make sense , but that's not what one says to someone whois willing to test a rolling release. | 12:15 |
| diogenes_ | sary, rolling release is a complete different story | 12:16 |
| sary | knome: Daily builds are out , and i doubt 17.10 will be as buggy as 17.04 , serch the web with " ubuntu bugs launchpad xubuntu 17.04 " and see ..! | 12:16 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1709306 in grub-installer (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu installer with usb in UEFI BIOS mode ubiquity GRUB Installer crashed with "grub-efi-amd64-signed" package." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1709306 | 12:16 |
| sary | diogenes_: Right. | 12:17 |
| knome | sary, you "doubt"? i'm sorry, but i'm pretty sure 17.10 has the chance to have a majority of the same bugs as 17.04 and some additional ones that have emerged from new packages. sure, some bugs have likely been fixed too. | 12:25 |
| sary | knome: cant you see how crucial it is for the installer to crash! how would you feel as a new user when faced with this..! | 12:35 |
| sary | anyway, thanks for your contribution , i should go try to install in legacy mode. | 12:35 |
| knome | i understand the frustration and yes i understand it's essential | 12:36 |
| sary | Well that's all i came here for, now that the bug is reported i suppose my job is done! | 12:37 |
| sary | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub-installer/+bug/1629348 | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1629348 in grub-installer (Ubuntu) "installer crash (grub2) during installation in UEFI mode" [Critical,Invalid] | 12:37 |
| sary | that an old bug that seems similar .. | 12:38 |
| sary | BTW what is the theme on the xubuntu 17.04 installer.. looks similar to elementary os .. but i didn't see it as a defualt in the installed system! | 12:39 |
| Unit193 | If it makes you feel any better, ubiquity is maintained by the Ubuntu desktop team, not directly by Xubuntu devs. The installer uses Greybird, the default theme. | 12:40 |
| sary | Unit193: thanks. | 12:41 |

| Mylon | So I installed some updates and after sleeping/waking, screen wouldn't turn on. Ctrl-alt-f1 gave me a terminal so I used that to just restart. | 21:28 |
| Mylon | I got back to the gui and now wifi won't work. Says device isn't ready. | 21:28 |
| Mylon | iwconfig lists wifi as device "wlo1", but if I type ifdown wlo1, it says not unknown interface. | 21:29 |
| diogenes_ | tried restart one more time? | 21:29 |
| Mylon | I'll try it... | 21:30 |
| Mylon | if I can't figure out how to fix it I'll install 'vanilla' Ubunu 17.04. | 21:31 |
| Mylon | Nope, no luck with a restart. | 21:38 |
| diogenes_ | tried: sudo service NetworkManager restart | 21:38 |
| Mylon | No luck. The network connection gui still says device not ready. | 21:40 |
| diogenes_ | sudo ifconfig | 21:40 |
| Mylon | Huh, wlo1 isn't there anymore. | 21:40 |
| diogenes_ | interesting\ | 21:41 |
| diogenes_ | try sudo rfkill unblock all | 21:41 |
| Mylon | No change to ifconfig | 21:42 |
| diogenes_ | if you have an installation media, you can try booting a live session and see if it works in there | 21:43 |
| Mylon | iwconfig shows the device, but ifconfig does not | 21:43 |
| diogenes_ | have a look at available drivers | 21:43 |
| Mylon | I'm making a 17.04 media right now. | 21:44 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 21:46 |
| Mylon | I have no idea if the user data partition will survive an install, but nothing important is on there so this might be an interesting experience. | 21:49 |
| diogenes_ | if you have a separate /home partition then it will survive | 21:51 |
| Mylon | My other laptotp is running some weird hack of kubuntu with xfce installed over it and it behaves nothing like my problem computer... | 21:51 |
| Mylon | But then again, software packages aren't getting updated so it's gonna be a liability soon. | 21:52 |
| Mylon | And... It works. | 22:08 |
| Mylon | Except for this eyesore bar on the left side... | 22:08 |
| diogenes_ | cool | 22:12 |
| Unit193 | Mylon: First issue sounds like light-locker btw, there's a faq on the Xubuntu site listing solutions. | 22:19 |
| Mylon | Light-locker? | 22:22 |
| Mylon | Why oh why... | 22:34 |
| Mylon | Windows 10 reversed the direction of scrolling and Ubuntu 16.04 followed that move. | 22:34 |
