| tgm4883 | Just tried 17.10 on my yoga 11e, no touchpad and no keyboard (although the touchscreen works) where would be a good place to start on this? | 01:03 |
|---|---|---|
| tgm4883 | to be clear, I just tried the live session, not installed | 01:03 |
| oerheks | what does ' xinput list ' give? | 01:04 |
| oerheks | and did you have to do any trick earlier to make it work? | 01:04 |
| tgm4883 | oerheks: me? I haven't done anything to make it work yet. It worked fine in 17.04 OOTB | 01:05 |
| tgm4883 | Let me see what xinput list does | 01:05 |
| oerheks | oke, ootb would be valuable info.. also in live mode? | 01:05 |
| oerheks | * in 17.04, that is | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | 17.04 mate is what is currently installed. I'll have to grab a standard 17.04 ISO | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | I'm guessing that it's not detecting it at all since the onscreen keyboard pops up on text fields | 01:07 |
| tgm4883 | I can't even get a terminal to come up | 01:13 |
| tgm4883 | it tries to start then gives up, no error | 01:14 |
| oerheks | alt f2 ? or ctl alt t | 01:15 |
| tgm4883 | none of those work, no keyboard | 01:18 |
| tgm4883 | although the media keys work | 01:18 |
| oerheks | :-( | 01:20 |
| oerheks | no clue then .. do you have a keyboard with a reciever/usb? | 01:20 |
| oerheks | logitech k400 or so? | 01:21 |
| tgm4883 | yea I do | 01:23 |
| oerheks | there you go, if you can connect it, you are free to check xinput | 01:25 |
| oerheks | i have one too, for such reasons/test pc | 01:25 |

| CVirus | Why is do-release-upgrade -d trying to upgrade me to 17.10 if it is not released yet? | 09:26 |
| CVirus | <EriC^^> CVirus: because of the "-d" | 09:27 |
| oerheks | -d development or '-do me the latest beta now!' | 09:30 |
| freakyy | hi :) i run 17.10 perfectly on my laptop and on my big pc. i have one problem on my laptop. the boot-up screen looks instead of purple it looks white and font has pink shadow, everything wron color so to say ;D | 12:51 |
| freakyy | i just reported a bug :D | 13:12 |
| gregl | Where can i find info on nvidia Gforce 9500 GT and whether it will work with 17.10? I have googled for the info,but so far i'm coming up empty.. | 16:59 |
| gregl | Under 16.04 i'm running 340.102.. | 17:00 |
| powersj | gregl: via nVidia's own webiste, 340.104 is the latest driver for that family of cards (e.g. GeForce 9 series) per http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/123703/en-us | 17:02 |
| powersj | there does appear to be a package with that version in artful: "nvidia-340 - NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.104" | 17:04 |
| gregl | powersj, Thanks for that.. I did try it a month ago,but after a reboot i had nothing but a black screen.. I couldn't recover from that,so I am a bit reluctant to try it again... | 17:11 |
| BluesKaj | gregl, yes the 340 is available on Artful,. I'm using it as we speak on 17.10 | 17:12 |
| powersj | gregl: yikes :) I can understand not wanting to try again | 17:12 |
| BluesKaj | gregl, just make sure you have dkms installed ..it should be by default | 17:13 |
| gregl | BluesKaj, That's good to know.. Maybe I will give it a try then.. Thanks I will put your info in my install notes.. | 17:14 |
| ghostcube | gregl: you shouldnt have only a blank screen after you reboot into a linux system even the driver is faulty. | 18:00 |
| gregl | ghostcube, I have been running Linux since 1994.. I usually can solve most problems,but I could't even get it to boot to a command prompt,to purge the nvidia drivers.. I ended going back to 16.04.. | 18:35 |
| ghostcube | sure, but this is not a nvidia driver problem | 18:37 |
| ghostcube | this sounds like a problem with your system inside 17.10 | 18:37 |
| gregl | ghostcube, Yeah,perhaps,but this happened nearly a month ago,so I will give it a go when the release comes out... Thanks | 18:40 |
| stochastix | Hi, is there going to be an easy upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 possibly ? | 18:41 |
| ghostcube | gregl: sure, could be a regression in an rc state of the iso | 18:41 |
| ghostcube | :) | 18:41 |
| vithiri | I noticed while installing the daily from yesterday on my laptop using the default partitioning (delete everything and move ahead) that no swap partition and no swap file was created -- is that intentional? I eventually ran out of memory and had some random freezes before managing to Google my way towards creating a swap file. | 19:13 |
| BluesKaj | vithiri, that's odd usually there's a reminder popup to create a swap in the partitioning phase | 19:18 |
| vithiri | BluesKaj: There's no partitioning phase if you just accept the defaults. :) | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | are you sure? | 19:19 |
| vithiri | BluesKaj: Looks like the same was observed in 17.04 as well (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2359100). Still reading through the thread though. | 19:20 |
| vithiri | Perhaps the use case is rare, or it's just a fluke. I don't find a lot of references to it. | 19:20 |
| vithiri | This laptop is admittedly very low on RAM and would choke without swap fairly quickly. | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | use gparted live media to create a swap, it's not difficult | 19:21 |
| vithiri | I just created a swapfile, now it works fine. I'm not sure if that's the expected OOB experience though. :) | 19:21 |
| flocculant | it's not | 19:22 |
| vithiri | That seems to be how the referenced thread ended as well. | 19:22 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, that surprises me, but i usually prepartition before installing clean so the swap already exists | 19:24 |
| flocculant | xubuntu at least creates swapfile in / | 19:24 |
| flocculant | just booting the ubuntu iso | 19:24 |
| flocculant | BluesKaj: ack - if there is some swap somewhere that gets used, if none exists *buntu no longer creates a swap partition, just a swapfile | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | we're talking about swap paririons here..swap files a re a different story | 19:25 |
| flocculant | BluesKaj: you're talking about swap partitions - vithiri was talking about no swapfile :D | 19:26 |
| flocculant | well we all are :p | 19:26 |
| vithiri | I'm used to creating a swap partition myself, or rather just using the one I've got around in the partitioning. This was the first time for a long time that I just went with the default to see what happens. It seems like it should have created a swapfile by default. | 19:26 |
| BluesKaj | flocculant, think he meant partition | 19:26 |
| flocculant | vithiri: it should have | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | vithiri, wonder if a minimum amount of ram now precludes a swapfile or partition | 19:28 |
| vithiri | https://pastebin.com/LmiphEk5 -- here's a comparison of "top" running before and after creating my swapfile. | 19:28 |
| BluesKaj | I don't trust autopartitioning ...period | 19:32 |
| vithiri | That's why I usually handle it myself. :D | 19:34 |
| flocculant | vithiri: I assume that fstab doesn't have a /swapfile line ? alos you could look in /var/log/installer/partman to see if that shows any swap | 19:34 |
| vithiri | flocculant: Now it does. I can't tell you if it did before I created the file, but the file wasn't there. | 19:34 |
| flocculant | well I just tried xubuntu and ubuntu - both created a swapfile in / as expected | 19:37 |
| flocculant | not having one is definitely not expected :) | 19:37 |
| vithiri | flocculant: There is this line: /lib/partman/finish.d/25create_swapfile: IN: PARTITIONS =dev=sda | 19:38 |
| vithiri | flocculant: I guess the first one is for the swapfile created on the USB media. | 19:38 |
| flocculant | I guess - not sure though :) | 19:47 |
| vithiri | Sorry, I was disconnected for some reason. If it was more widespread, you'd most likely have been alerted apart from an obscure thread over at the forums already. :) | 19:47 |
| flocculant | yup | 19:49 |
| vithiri | So far, no further freezes in 17.10 on this machine after creating the swapfile at least. Could be worth keeping an eye on complaints. :) | 20:37 |
| lundmar | lol, in Ubuntu 17.10, running gnome-terminal and pressing f11 (fullscreen) repeatedly will make the terminal window shrink :/ | 20:37 |
| vithiri | lundmar: Try to grab hold of the right hand side border and resize it horizontally swiftly back and forth. Just read about that issue on Reddit. | 20:38 |
| vithiri | lundmar: Most likely, the window will keep growing vertically. | 20:38 |
| lundmar | vithiri: I can't reproduce that. However, the F11 shrink is quite annoying when working in and out of terinals during the day. | 20:41 |
| vithiri | lundmar: Can you reproduce it with two tabs open? | 20:54 |
| vithiri | lundmar: Noticed I can't reproduce it with only one tab. | 20:54 |
| lundmar | vithiri: No - works fine here. | 21:07 |
| vithiri | lundmar: https://media.giphy.com/media/3ohhwrTSfFj17Zek5W/giphy.gif | 21:14 |
| lundmar | vithiri: No, I can't reproduce it. I'm running Gnome/Wayland. | 21:24 |
| ignoo | hello, running ubuntu GNOME 16.04, have some issue with ubuntu ArtfulAardvark: https://pastebin.com/W1tBbqpq . Thank you for your support. | 23:38 |
| nacc | that is spam --^ also was done in #ubuntu, just fyi | 23:42 |
