[00:00] here is a foto of the problem https://launchpadlibrarian.net/341317855/Display-problem.JPG [00:01] did you installed lubuntu on this pc, or this os the live session? [00:02] this is foto from internet but my pc has the same problem [00:02] did you installed lubuntu on this pc, or this os the live session? [00:02] here is another foto of the problem https://imgur.com/b6iTmFi [00:03] jagman: response. [00:03] I installed lubuntu to a different pc from fotos but same problem [00:03] to me [00:03] I installed from usb live stick [00:04] to my pc [00:04] the fotos are not from my pc [00:04] but my pc does the same bug [00:04] then, on grub screen, you can press "e" , write nomodeset right of quiet splash, press f10 [00:05] but there is not grub screen [00:05] it opens lubuntu logo [00:05] in fact no logo [00:05] it changes some colors [00:05] the screen [00:05] and then happen 80% black 20%normal screen [00:06] then you can presso right shift, after pc turned on [00:06] *press [00:06] and what will happen? [00:06] grub appears. [00:06] and what should I type in grub? [00:06] what i wrote. [00:07] can you go back with lines? [00:08] yes [00:08] I type nomodeset? [00:08] good [00:09] ok I try it. I press right shift after finishing bios screen? [00:09] yes [00:09] ok [00:09] I ll be back I go to try it [00:10] good [00:11] it has some parameters and where do I type nomodeset? [00:11] it has many parameters on screen [00:12] then, on grub screen, you can press "e" , write nomodeset right of quiet splash, press f10 [00:12] where is the quiet splash [00:13] you mean first line? [00:13] I dont see any parameter called quiet splash [00:14] have you press "e" ? [00:14] yes appears a code [00:14] with some parameters [00:15] but there is not any parameter called quiet splash [00:15] then you've https://www.howtoforge.com/images/kernel_boot-parameter_edit/pic_3.jpg [00:15] someting like that [00:17] ok wait I went back choosed ubuntu and pressed e and I found quiet splash [00:17] great [00:18] ok I typed nomodeset without $ symbol in front of it [00:18] do I need to type this $ symbol? [00:19] ok now I will press f10 without typing $ [00:21] nomodeset must be write right of quiet splash, or you can del quiet splash and write nomodeset [00:21] with a space before [00:21] ok I am in [00:21] it worked [00:21] great. [00:21] but the screen analysis is a little odd [00:22] should I change grub again now? from leafpad? [00:22] to have nomodeset permanently, you must mod /etc/default/grub [00:23] in comments they say also to add in grub GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text [00:23] should I add this? [00:23] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [00:23] add on it [00:24] save , and sudo update-grub [00:25] ok I will add the line you say but do I need the previous line I said? [00:25] or only the line you said? [00:25] should I type both lines? [00:25] or only the last one [00:25] sudo leafpad /etc/default/grub [00:25] yes [00:26] and after that do I need GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text or not? [00:26] you'll find the line i tell [00:26] you must mod only this line [00:26] save [00:26] sudo update-grub [00:26] enjoy. [00:26] ok i will try it and come back [00:26] great. [00:34] krabador I found line GRUB_CMDLINK_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [00:34] should I change this line [00:35] and put nomodeset instead of quiet splash? [00:38] yes [00:39] to the right, before " [00:44] ok I did it and worked [00:45] now I must set the screen resolution because it is a little odd [00:45] it is stretched horizontally [00:53] I use some icon sets from noobs lab to get better appearance [01:40] how to find my native screen resolution [08:26] Ciao mi chiamo Marcello.. C'è qualcuno? [08:27] Ho problemi con la connessione wireless [10:21] hi guys my screen is stretched, how can i find the native resolution of screen and switch to native resolution? [10:23] jagman: run "xrandr", the native resolution should be marked with a * [10:24] should I install xrandr? or it is already installed in lubuntu? [10:27] it says that xrandr is not supported but is replaced by x11-xserver-utils [10:28] but it say all these packages are missing or are old [10:28] I use lubuntu 17.10 [10:33] hmmm [11:05] hateball my pc shows that resolution is 800x600 and image is stretched, can I change the 800x600 to native resolution? [11:12] When I used the virtual machine, the maximum resolution was limited by the size of the video memory. do you use the built-in graphics? [11:19] jagman: is this a fresh install where things arent working? what gpu/driver? [11:22] hateball yes fresh install [11:23] the laptop is U A100 [11:23] MSI wind [11:25] jagman: this one? https://www.msi.com/Laptop/U100/Specification [11:25] hateball yes [11:26] it was fine with previous version of lubuntu but in the new version had problems [11:26] probably a regression in the intel gpu driver then [11:27] jagman: I guess you can try setting a custom resolution like described here https://askubuntu.com/questions/377937/how-to-set-a-custom-resolution [11:28] oh wait, you said xrandr wasnt working [11:28] hi is not alone https://askubuntu.com/questions/968154/resolution-troubles-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-17-10-xrandr-will-not-add-resolut [11:29] I suppose you could try booting an older kernel if you still have one installed [11:34] hateball I did fresh install and so far everything works but the screen resolution is 800x600 [11:35] I have LXRandR and not xrandr [11:36] "This tool doesn't aim to be a full randr frontend. If you need the full power [11:36] of RandR, get xrandr (console) or grandr (GUI) and read some tutorials." [11:38] that's what "apt show lxrandr" says [11:39] I dont think there should be any breakage from manually installing xrandr, but that's not much help if it is a kernel regression preventing higher resolution === dOne is now known as Guest23160 [13:25] Hi there [13:26] i am looking for info on the powerpc installations [13:26] Hi === Jl is now known as Guest67573 [13:26] Hi [13:26] i could not find on lubuntu website [13:27] thanks for your help [13:27] I couldn't install my printer [13:28] I used samba but when I tried to look for it I got a message [13:29] About I needed something else [13:29] oh.. so no one here from Ubuntu [13:29] good luck [15:10] i have a weird question and searching yeilds no results. I am using openvpn in network manager to connect to a VPN provider. this has started failing. I would like to increase openVPN verbosity to figgure it out. but networkmanager seems to have no openvpn .conf? how do i specify verbosity for openvpn used by networkmnager, as opposed to cli and a .conf file === LargePrime is now known as nOOb === nOOb is now known as LargePrime [17:22] Hello. Good afternoon from this part of the globe. Can any one tell me how to acces into the sound propierties on lubuntu 14.04? [17:28] pavucontrol [17:29] https://i.stack.imgur.com/qf4jG.png [17:31] Installed and running. That's what i was looking for. Thank you very much! [17:31] the "out of the box" method is `alsamixer` in terminal, but pavucontrol is perhaps more user friendly [17:34] Alsamixer, ok, thank you too [17:39] Two great solutions. Thank you. [17:45] jagman: So I suggested yesterday to add "GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text" to your Grub config, to work around LP bug 1724639 you were seeing, but you ended up adding "nomodeset" to the boot parameters instead or along with it - was the screen resolution fine before you did the latter? [17:45] Launchpad bug 1724639 in linux (Ubuntu) "Bug in Kernel 4.13 : Intel Mobile Graphics 945 shows 80 % black screen" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1724639 [17:46] Krytarik I added also what you said [17:46] I was not sure about resolution because it was black screen before to configure grub [17:47] Try dropping the "nomodeset" parameter and see how it goes. [17:49] ok I will do this but should I replace "nomodeset" with "quiet splash" as it was before? [17:49] or comment the whole line? [17:51] ok I will replace nomodeset with quiet splash as it was initially [17:52] wait a few minutes to fix it and I come back [17:57] I say GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ok? [17:57] Yep. [18:01] ok analysis is correct now [18:01] the screen resolution ok [18:01] Cool. [18:13] thank you all for your help [18:17] Welcome. [19:30] how can I open a folder as sudo in GUI ? [19:30] can i install lubuntu from linux mint without cd/usb? [19:32] I want to cut and paste an image from one folder to another folder but gui doesnt allow me because I dont have typed sudo [19:32] how can I do this [19:34] jagman: Install the package "gksu", then do "gksudo pcmanfm" and go from there. [19:34] !sudo [19:34] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [19:36] ok I install it [19:39] ok it worked fine [19:39] Good. [22:19] how safe can i be thinking lubuntu by default is virus free [22:19] 100%? [23:40] hello I need help support with linux mint reboot issues [23:41] wouldn't you go to the linux mint channel for that? XD [23:41] yes, is XD the channel name? [23:41] i haven't the slightest [23:42] looks like ##linuxmint [23:42] but official channel is #linuxmint-help at irc.spotchat.org [23:42] thank you [23:55] wxl, hello [23:55] o/ [23:55] wxl, somtime ago you suggested me to [23:56] suggested making a blog page [23:57] about a workaround for mplayer [23:58] sending something to lubuntu mailing list [23:58] or making a wiki page or contribution to the wiki [23:59] that sounds like a lot of different things [23:59] I had an issue with mplayer, some time ago i've solved it finding a workaround [23:59] so I'm back here [23:59] to give the solution
