| mingdao | bazhang: think I remember you from Debian? | 01:29 |
| bazhang | no idea | 01:29 |
| bazhang | running the non-released version means proviging info for bugfixing for one | 01:30 |
| mingdao | bug link please? | 01:30 |
| bazhang | for what | 01:30 |
| * mingdao hopes it's bugzilla and not Jira | 01:31 | |
| mingdao | "means proviging info for bugfixing for one" | 01:31 |
| mingdao | where's the bug tracker? | 01:31 |
| bazhang | !bugs | mingdao | 01:31 |
| ubottu | mingdao: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 01:31 |
| mingdao | k | 01:31 |
| mingdao | this is the second hard drive in the computer | 01:34 |
| mingdao | it was zeroed, no partition table | 01:34 |
| mingdao | would one expect the files to be in (hd1,gpt2) ? | 01:35 |
| mingdao | small text but it looks like that is / | 01:35 |
| mingdao | and under /boot there's efi/ and grub/ as well as the kernel, and initrd, and other files | 01:36 |
| bazhang | mingdao, whats the question | 01:37 |
| mingdao | would one expect the files to be in (hd1,gpt2) ? | 01:37 |
| mingdao | what's the deal? did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed? | 01:38 |
| bazhang | pardon? | 01:38 |
| mingdao | got it to boot from grub> but don't understand why the installer didn't install the bootloader | 01:43 |
| bazhang | mingdao, did it ever actually boot | 01:44 |
| bazhang | mingdao, and was this a straight install,of a failed upgrade | 01:45 |
| bazhang | or a | 01:45 |
| mingdao | < mingdao> it was zeroed, no partition table | 01:45 |
| mingdao | booted with the USB and choose the Install option | 01:46 |
| mingdao | and no, it didn't boot | 01:46 |
| bazhang | how was the iso written to usb | 01:46 |
| mingdao | when I clicked the Restart or whatever the GUI said after the install, it segfaulted with a nouveau error fir | 01:46 |
| mingdao | first | 01:47 |
| bazhang | mingdao, how was the iso written to usb, from what os, using which software method | 01:48 |
| mingdao | from Gentoo with dd iirc | 01:49 |
| bazhang | was the iso hash checked | 01:49 |
| mingdao | I've installed it using this flash drive several times and it's not always installed the same | 01:49 |
| mingdao | ofc | 01:49 |
| mingdao | you can skip that if you'd like, I'm booted into it now | 01:50 |
| bazhang | so it boots to the installer gui | 01:50 |
| mingdao | yes | 01:51 |
| mingdao | mingdao@workstation ~/Downloads $ sha256sum artful-desktop-amd64.iso | 01:52 |
| mingdao | 64c1f55e339874d9feaecf27a47255f32e212c455d66e82e57091248113f6fbf artful-desktop-amd64.iso | 01:52 |
| bazhang | so the issue is the burning iso to usb | 01:52 |
| bazhang | thats often the case | 01:52 |
| mingdao | hey, that's not how I made the flash drive | 01:52 |
| bazhang | especially with alpha 2 software | 01:53 |
| mingdao | it was some instructions for using gnome disks or some such, not dd | 01:53 |
| mingdao | is the image bootable if you just use dd? | 01:53 |
| bazhang | no matter the method, those sometimes take more than the once, particurly with just enter alpha 2 | 01:54 |
| mingdao | I used the instructions here http://ubuntu-mate.org/how-to-create-bootable-usb-drive/ | 01:54 |
| mingdao | first time I even fired up that app; been using Gnome3 for 2+ years | 01:54 |
| mingdao | looking now for a later released version | 01:54 |
| bazhang | I never used dd, got the full on working usb installer, 17.10 has been near flawless since | 01:54 |
| mingdao | I don't mind bleeing edge | 01:54 |
| bazhang | a couple of minor hiccups | 01:55 |
| mingdao | I worked on the Slackware Project for 7 years before moving on to Gentoo | 01:55 |
| mingdao | and for the last 2 years on Funtoo almost exclusively | 01:55 |
| mingdao | so it's not my first rodeo | 01:55 |
| mingdao | Debian was installed on this little mSATA until yesterday when I started trying Ubuntu | 01:56 |
| mingdao | first time since I got this laptop in March 2014 that I've had a 3200x1800 16:9 desktop | 01:56 |
| mingdao | nice, but, had to change that to 1920x1080 | 01:56 |
| bazhang | mingdao, rodeo or not, alpha is whole new ballgame, expect breakage, often severe | 01:58 |
| mingdao | no worries | 01:59 |
| mingdao | I run ~arch Gentoo | 01:59 |
| mingdao | you don't get much more breakage than that | 02:00 |
| mingdao | I'm just rather allergic to gooeys that hide what's happening ;) | 02:00 |
| mingdao | just finished up work on gnome-3.24 with elogind; no systemd, no consolekit | 02:01 |
| mingdao | so there are a lot of pieces on the floor around here | 02:01 |
| bazhang | mingdao, you did this prior or after the install | 02:03 |
| mingdao | what is this? | 02:06 |
| bazhang | gnome-3.24 with elogind; no systemd, no consolekit | 02:06 |
| bazhang | is that related to what we are doing here | 02:07 |
| mingdao | really? | 02:07 |
| mingdao | I'm sorry, I thought you were a developer for some reason | 02:07 |
| bazhang | I have no idea why you posted that | 02:07 |
| mingdao | maybe I'm confusing you with someone else | 02:08 |
| bazhang | we were trying to get you a fully working install | 02:08 |
| mingdao | nvm | 02:08 |
| mingdao | I'm working on it now | 02:08 |
| mingdao | it's installed, and running | 02:08 |
| mingdao | how to learn from "apt-get <command>", or some other way, which is the lastest available nvidia driver? | 02:18 |
| mingdao | issued "apt-get" but I don't see it there | 02:18 |
| bazhang | mingdao, if you want more direct contact with developers, join the artful mailing list | 02:18 |
| mingdao | right now I just want to get some stuff ready to use this at work tomorrow | 02:18 |
| mingdao | am a simple man | 02:19 |
| mingdao | was that your answer to my last question? | 02:19 |
| bazhang | nopers | 02:19 |
| mingdao | do you know the answer? | 02:22 |
| bazhang | to find the current nivida drivers for you machine | 02:23 |
| mingdao | yes | 02:23 |
| bazhang | what is the card | 02:23 |
| mingdao | NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1) | 02:24 |
| mingdao | also has the Intel ofc | 02:24 |
| Bashing-om | mingdao: kabylake for Intel ? | 02:34 |
| mingdao | Skylake | 02:35 |
| mingdao | also my wired NIC didn't load | 02:35 |
| Bashing-om | mingdao: kabylake see: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2364663 . | 02:40 |
| mingdao | Bashing-om: me Skylake | 03:27 |
| mingdao | yes, I've had this one since March 2014 | 03:28 |
| mingdao | not affected | 03:28 |
| mingdao | my Thinkpad P50, I'm not sure about | 03:28 |
| mingdao | but thanks | 03:28 |
| mingdao | I'll read the report you posted; might be different than the one from Debian I previously read | 03:28 |
| mingdao | nouveau is working okay | 03:29 |
| mingdao | if nouveau/intel are fine for 2 external screens, I'm good | 03:29 |
| mingdao | wondering why e1000e didn't load | 03:33 |

| flocculant | that and I pinged them elsewhere | 11:41 |
| sary | Nice! | 11:42 |
| mingdao | since I'm new to ubuntu, is running "apt-get changelog system-config-printer" in a vt an easy way to learn when the pkg is updated? | 12:02 |
| tsimonq2 | mingdao: I would suggest apt-listchanges | 13:04 |
| tsimonq2 | mingdao: Whenever you run apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade (they recommend you use apt, not apt-get) it will show you the changelogs | 13:05 |
| tsimonq2 | mingdao: You just first have to configure it by running sudo dpkg-reconfigure apt-listchanges | 13:05 |
| mingdao | tsimonq2: thanks | 15:05 |
| flocculant | sary: and fixed | 15:40 |
| sary | flocculant: Yes, the bug was fixed in the package system-config-printer -1.5.9+20170804-0ubuntu2 Fix Committed => Fix Released by Till Kamppeter . | 16:02 |

| Guest46914 | libreoffice 5.4 has been in debian unstable for 12 days, and debian import freeze isn't until 2017-08-24, so will it be imported for 17.10? | 22:10 |
| nacc | Guest46914: libreoffice has a delta, so it needs to be merged by someon to update it. | 22:16 |
| Guest46914 | nacc: any chance someone is on that? | 22:24 |
| nacc | Guest46914: not sure, you'd need to ask the desktop team | 22:25 |
| Guest46914 | :/ | 22:26 |
| valorie | Guest46914: best bet is to file a bug on launchpad noting the above | 22:38 |
| valorie | the desktop team is very stretched and that is the most efficient | 22:38 |
| Guest46914 | they already responded. | 22:39 |
| valorie | excellent | 22:39 |
