[05:04] <mrwonderpants> hi, iḿ having trouble with my video, a large sectionof the screen is garbled up
[05:06] <mrwonderpants> https://imgur.com/a/Pstpp to ilustrete the problem
[05:07] <lynorian> mrwonderpants, is this an install with a new version?
[05:08] <mrwonderpants> a new install 17.10 on an acer one , intel graphics
[05:10] <lynorian> mrwonderpants, do you have an old live version handy or say could you boot a live version of 16.04?
[05:11] <mrwonderpants> mmm now that you mention it, the live 17.10 looked good
[05:18] <mrwonderpants> this is weird,  I put the machine un suspend to post this and when I activated it lokked good, rebotted it and its back to noise
[09:37] <Maciej_> Hello
[09:38] <Maciej_> I have a problem with my monitor resollution. I tried looking around the Ubuntu forums but the commands posted around doesn't work. Would someone hear me out?
[09:41] <Maciej_> Since there's no response I'll describe it. If anyone can help please contact me :) Since like a month ago my screen resolution changed itself to default 1024x768 and I can't change it with the display settings. I tried making new mode with command line but it doesn't work. My monitors native resolution is 1280x960.
[09:41] <Maciej_> Thanks in advance ^^
[09:41] <hateball> Maciej_: does xrandr list 1280x960 as available?
[09:41] <Maciej_> No
[09:42] <hateball> Maciej_: 16.04 or 17.10 ?
[09:42] <hateball> I mean it sounds like a kernel/mesa problem to me if it just changed by itself
[09:43] <Maciej_> 16.04 the latest release
[09:43] <hateball> So if you're on 16.04 you could try the latest !hwe if you havent
[09:43] <Maciej_> I've upgraded it recently but it changed nothing
[09:43] <hateball> !hwe
[09:44] <hateball> I have to go to lunch now so will be back in a while... in case you dont get anyone else to help
[09:44] <Maciej_> Sure, thanks :)
[09:56] <Maciej_> Thanks Guys I solved it

[18:27] <blue__> Hi
[18:28] <blue__> How do you install Lubuntu because the boot system does not recognise the file from the flash drive.
[18:28] <blue__> Using windows 10
[18:28] <blue__> Low spec
[18:28] <blue__> HP stream
[18:28] <wxl> how did you set up the flash drive? and are you sure you got your BIOS set to boot from the flash drive?
[18:28] <blue__> Oh
[18:29] <blue__> I just simply copied the file to the flash drive
[18:29] <wxl> yeah that doesn't work
[18:29] <blue__> Sorry I am a bot of a novice
[18:29] <wxl> it's not a regular file
[18:29] <wxl> it's a disk image
[18:29] <wxl> you need to do a bit by bit copy
[18:29] <wxl> try rufus
[18:29] <wxl> !rufus
[18:29] <wxl> argh
[18:29] <wxl> i thought we had a thing for that
[18:29] <blue__> Rufus?
[18:29] <wxl> one sec
[18:30] <agaida> or windows dd
[18:30] <wxl> https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows?backURL=%2F#0
[18:31] <blue__> Thanks
[18:31] <blue__> Will try to follow instructions from the tutorial
[23:57] <dekonomics> Yo im having problems installing lubuntu and would like some help
[23:58] <dekonomics> This ia the second time i had to do this process
[23:58] <tsimonq2> dekonomics: What seems to be the problem?
[23:58] <dekonomics> Basically i can get lubuntu working
[23:58] <dekonomics> But windows 7 does not work after that
[23:59] <dekonomics> When i select windows boot manager on grub it just tells me that i need to repair windows
[23:59] <dekonomics> I tried that, didnt work
[23:59] <dekonomics> I even tried the bootrec.exe fixes
[23:59] <tsimonq2> Hmmm
