[00:20] managed it all with apt [01:04] My trackpad has stopped working on my ideapad 110 running 16.04 [01:07] hehe what was the last thing you had done, when it stopped :) [01:09] using it as a router basicly [01:09] tried to connect to a few devices with bluetooth as well [01:10] i should also clarify that i've got no idea about using this os yet haha [01:10] ok but it's not going to 'stop working' on its own, right? [01:10] i agree [01:10] you had to have sudo apt-get installed something maybe, or like way prior and then an auto-update carried on [01:10] do you have any tips on how i can figure out what it is that is breaking on me? [01:11] yes, samba [01:11] i tried to install that, but also removed it again [01:11] it gave me an error on initial install [01:12] ive also tried setting updating settings so that it doesn't install but the official said allright to things [01:14] ok i can see that mine is: "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-16.04" so it *looks* like it's part of the hwe kernel-thingy that ubuntu is doing (on lts) [01:14] not sure [01:15] sec. [01:16] check it out, bt please don't run the CMD prior to reading the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [01:16] link is in the text, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack [01:17] Thanks dude! :) - Ive learned my lesson about doing anything before being absolutely certain of what i am doing [01:17] now ive got something to go on :) [01:17] there's like 50% chance that might be it, not sure [01:18] that whole hardware-kernel-input thing going on [01:19] ^^ probably nothing to do with samba [01:19] (i mean quite possibly nothing to do with what you were doing. :)) === vinzv is now known as vinzv_away [01:20] xfirst24hourubun: and after, if u chose to run it, log out and make sure it's not saving your session - then reboot [01:21] should be just a checkbox on the logout dialog [01:21] I was sure that i had done something stupid haha. - now ive read up on this whole thing, as ive got no idea about how this whole thing works [01:22] but even these small problems are actually exciting to figure out :D [01:22] it's probably already auto-updated on your system, the documentation says 16.02 [01:22] what version you got lsb_release -a [01:22] we should check for the kernel version actually, bt i mean - you'll need it eventually, so you might as well do it [01:22] what does uname -a say? [01:23] Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial [01:24] uname -a [01:24] just to see the kernel [01:24] i mean, if u can post it.. or i can give you mine, sec [01:24] 4.10.0-40-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 9 15:37:44 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:25] was that it? [01:25] hmm [01:25] yes and that's the hwe :( [01:25] *rolling [01:26] looks like u already got it on the system [01:26] excuse my stupidity haha [01:26] nah, all good :) [01:26] so i allowed a stupid update basicly? [01:26] just - i don't know what to tell you now how to handle this [01:27] no, no, it's fine - it will be 'forced' on the next LTS version anyway [01:27] might as well deal with it now, idk. [01:27] IF that's the issue [01:27] well ive gotta learn something, but i dont mind [01:27] trackpads are a pain - it's a really specific driver [01:28] its not a huge problem for me personally, i was mostly wondering what caused it [01:28] ofc. it should work =) [01:28] now that you mention it, that makes sense [01:28] thanks for the tips broheim [01:29] i don't know if re-running the kernel upgrade can do something with xinput [01:29] maybe worth a try :-s [01:29] if it all goes auto, you don't even have to worry about it, idk. [01:29] :) [01:30] from that URL, you can try the kernel command for your 16.04 version if you like, that's what i'm saying [01:30] (certainly nothing unwanted will happen) [01:31] there's: "DESKTOP" and "SERVER" there [01:31] yeah thats what im sitting here pondering [01:31] doing it two sec [01:31] just give it a whirl :)) [01:32] xfirst24hourubun: [01:32] its installed [01:32] hang on forgot [01:32] something important, lol [01:32] can u tell me the comment to remove it first hehe [01:32] sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade BEFORE you log out... just in case :) [01:33] it won't be removed - as it's already installed on your system. just the re-run may trigger the trackpad driver (on log out and reboot, kernel reload) [01:34] nice bro, im just slow tonight ;) [01:34] non-technically speaking :) [01:34] relogging to see what happens haha [01:34] reboot 2 [01:34] cool [01:34] imma report back two sec [01:34] good luck! ;p [01:51] maybe that was a bad idea [02:35] I have a box that id like to use as a HTPC but it has a displayport instead of HDMI. i cant figure out how to configure audio out over displayport since xubuntu isnt recognizng it as an option.

[20:02] oh o.0 bt, it's not there when the menubar is showing [20:03] yeah, because the menubar height doesn't equal a line height? [20:04] think i get that, but what do ppl with irssi and weechat and other do.. with .screenrc there was a command [20:04] use a diff terminal? :( [20:04] the screenshot suggests it's a fullscreen window - is it? [20:04] no it's 60% dropdown [20:04] no difference in --maximize [20:05] change the dropdown height? [20:05] i'll try, just a couple of hours ago everything was fine on 16.04.3 and now on 17.10 this non-issue is back.. i don't remember customizing anything there [20:06] so i'm stumped wth is going on here :-s [20:07] i pin the dropdown, open a tab and close it and there's no space - i use the shortcut to hide it and unhide it and the space is back [20:07] ehh [20:07] fresh install, haven't touched anything [20:08] just apt update [20:08] actually just new tab and then closing it and this window loses its space [20:10] --fullscreen same thing and on 16.04.3 it was drawing it differently or something; had no issue [20:11] yeah the new tab doesn't take up the space, only on closing it is the window redrawn without the bottom blank [20:12] geez [20:15] and when it's --fullscreen opening and closing a tab doesn't take out the space. ah, fun times [20:17] if i figure it out, i'll search if the issue had been reported and see if it's a bug report - i guess, although it's not i know [20:40] on 62% height it does the opposite of the behavior above. wow xD [21:39] knome: yea there's no different way that it *could* draw it, tnx === vinzv is now known as vinzv_away
