[00:00] nerds designing software for nerds [00:00] sigh [00:00] Char|ie: check the manual @ http://www.openshotusers.com/help/1.3/en/ [00:00] Should give up and get a mac [00:00] fuck this [00:00] Char|ie, did u try lossless-cut? [00:01] There's this as well https://github.com/ozmartian/vidcutter [00:01] Most NLEs do it the same way [00:02] I don't know if it configures it any differently... but you could always try out Ubuntu Studio in a VM [00:02] I'm guessing it would be the same as installing OpenShot though [00:03] theres only one drag mark line available on openshot [00:04] it makes no sense why you gotta drag it to a "track 2" [00:04] I used openshot yesterday to extract a 30 second segment from a ~1 hour HD, and it worked OK, although I ended up prefering to use ffmpeg on the command-line so I could properly control the transcoding options [00:04] its just retarded [00:05] Char|ie: lodge your complaints about the openshot UI with their developers, not here in the #ubuntu support channel, please. [00:05] this is not the place to go on a rant about what you do or don't like about a given program. [00:05] its linux in general [00:05] horrible software [00:05] I wouldn't complain about something that's free and openly "hackable" [00:06] I understand your frustrations though. [00:06] command line video editing, oh joy [00:06] https://www.shotcut.org/ [00:06] I think this may be similar to OpenShot however.. [00:07] So, I tried to log in (after resetting my password) https://i.imgur.com/rORE4Rm.png [00:07] Best way is to just try them out [00:08] typeVoid: check in #canonical-sysadmin [00:08] its a insanely simple concept that should be simple to solve [00:08] Nevermind, I think I'm logged in but https://translations.launchpad.net/ shows that [00:08] typeVoid, I'm guessing that this could be related to a lot of users trying to report issues about their Lenovos? [00:08] dont know. [00:08] the whole thing could be hyperbole [00:09] opening in a private window works fine [00:09] typeVoid: sounds like a caching issue then [00:09] Did you try a different browser? [00:09] I'm running 16.04 and my bluetooth speaker isn't connecting to my computer. Was doing it last night. Can anyone help me troubleshoot it? [00:10] From earlier, yes. On mobile (Android) I used firefox focus then nightly, on desktop nightly ("57") [00:11] well [00:11] huh, you're probably right [00:11] if you really want to clear out the browser [00:11] Vysty: well hello :) terminal -> "bluetoothctl" then "agent on", "default-agent", "devices" then "info " [00:11] I think it's caching issues [00:11] then try the refresh function [00:11] https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings [00:11] Char|ie, you want a Linux video editing work station? Get a Blackmagic audio card and use Resolve. Or hell, you can use the NLE in Nuke. Both free. [00:12] this wont clear the cache though [00:12] I think I know how, though [00:12] typeVoid: "about:cache" could help [00:13] TJ-: I sent you a private message so I don't fill the chatroom up. [00:13] Vysty: I have then blocked; support should be in channel so everyone can contribute [00:13] Hello everyone. I have a server running Xenial, and now I can't get apt to resolve my package repositories. What I think I did was change my hostname via /etc/hostname. I tried changing it back, and rebooting. But apt still can't resolve the repos, giving an error such as: "Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'" [00:14] No prob.

[00:14] !paste Vysty [00:14] TJ-, thanks but I went to about:preferences and searched 'cache' [00:14] Then deleted [00:14] what's !paste? [00:14] !paste | Vysty [00:14] Vysty: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:15] I think /etc/resolv.conf was changed; the file is empty. Though I could have sworn that some other mechanism is handling resolution. [00:15] TJ-: https://paste.ubuntu.com/26224245/ [00:16] I prefer OpenSUSE's paste site because you can prevent crawlers from reading it, and/or set it to expire on a timer [00:16] Vysty: OK, that all looks correct. You can monitor bluetooth connection drops by watching the kernel log, I use "tail -f /var/log/kern.log" ... next time the audio fails see if there are any log messages related to bluetooth that suggest a cause [00:16] TJ-: Failing right now. The speaker's light is flashing like it's trying to find something to connect to. [00:16] Leevancleef: yes, those would be useful additions [00:17] Vysty: OK, check kern.log, is there anything reported over the last few minutes? show me "pastebinit <( tail -n 1000 /var/log/kern.log)" [00:17] TJ-, regarding the SPI-bug... Should I be worried? [00:18] I have no clue if this has done anything to my laptop. [00:18] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26224257/ [00:18] nooryani84: sounds like you're hyper-ventilating over nothing at this point :) [00:19] Vysty: there's one thing: "Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0406 tx timeout" [00:19] TJ-: Do you know what it means? [00:19] TJ- I think you may be right :) [00:19] thanks [00:20] Vysty: so looks like the radio connection may be suffering? BT operates in the same 2.4GHz band as 802.11b/g/n wifi - are you using 2.4GHz wifi? [00:20] TJ-: Maybe? Let me switch to the 5G network. [00:20] Vysty: sometimes, strong wifi signals can knock out the lower-power BT signals [00:21] Vysty: especially as BT is designed for a maximum of 10 metres [00:21] TJ-: Just switched to 5G and restarted my speaker... [00:21] if you have an Android phone you can check the wireless networks in your vicinity [00:22] TJ-: Yup, still blinknig. [00:22] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer [00:22] I've used this in the past [00:22] TJ-: After my reinstall last night, the speaker worked just fine. [00:22] worked fine this morning, too. [00:23] though this is mainly to check what channels are overlapping... don't know how helpful this will be here. [00:24] Vysty: as nooryani84 recommends, scan for all other 2.4GHz sources. Because 2.4GHz is unlicenced other devices can use it too, like baby monitors, TV relays, and it's the same frequency as microwave ovens too [00:24] Vysty: how far apart are the BT speaker and the PC? [00:25] Vysty: could the issue be your body absorbing the signal because you're between them? [00:25] I worked at an ISP earlier and I've heard about baby monitors causing Wifi dropouts [00:26] TJ-: It's a little under 2 meters. I guess maybe that could be the issue? [00:26] Is both the PC transmitting the signal and the speaker in the same room/area that it was earlier today? [00:26] Vysty: 2m should be OK generally, put I've seen local PC wifi knock out BT to a mouse on occasion [00:27] Vysty: are the speakers using Bluetooth LE ? [00:27] TJ-: Don't know if LE. How do I find out? [00:27] TJ-: When I got the speaker, it worked in another room. [00:27] What's the model of the speaker? [00:27] MHV-V11 [00:27] MHC* [00:27] i believe BT 4.0 and up support LE [00:28] Vysty: do the speakers use batteries or mains ? [00:28] TJ-: They're plugged into the wall. [00:28] It* [00:28] Just one speaker. [00:29] Vysty: I've had issues with weak batteries in BT devices causing issues. For my favourite BT mouse, every few days I have to polish the battery terminals to keep it alive :D [00:29] Definitely not running on batteries. [00:31] TJ-: I'm trying it in different spots around the room, now. [00:31] No luck. [00:31] If it's the neighbor's wifi screwing it up, is there no way to fix that? [00:32] Vysty: how about triyng to use a smartphone to send audio to it? if that has problems too it points to a speaker issue, if not, it could be an issue with the PC, or with the particular position of the PC [00:32] TJ-: Remember how we did all that crap yesterday to get me reinstalled? This is the issue that started it. [00:32] seems its Bluetooth 3.0 on this speaker [00:32] TJ-: I found online that there was a bluetooth issue with 16.04 [00:32] Vysty: right! NO CHANGING PC CONFIG! [00:33] "Bastien's Computer" problem. [00:33] so no LE on your speaker [00:33] I found an article that suggested that 17.10 had fixed the bluetooth issue, which is what prompted me to upgrade. [00:33] Now I'm trying to fix it without upgrading. [00:33] Vysty: the kernel message suggests the device itself is losing the connection (tx timeout) but bluetoothctl info showed it still thought the device is connected [00:34] Smb know the user tatertots? [00:34] TJ-: Smartphone connects just fine to it. [00:34] Vysty: so I'd point my finger at radio interference, or some issue with the speaker. [00:34] Vysty: Try something else.... Check if you have the same issue when conneting ... [00:34] nooryani84: Just did. connects fine. [00:34] ok so I was just about to ask about the martphne [00:34] x) [00:34] Vysty: connection yes, but keep it sending audio to the speaker for a few hours see if it managed not to drop [00:34] nooryani84: My wife's computer connected fine with it last night. [00:35] Vysty: is your PC in a fixed location, or can you move it? [00:35] TJ-: Would this be an issue with a brand new speaker? I literally got it a few days ago. [00:35] Vysty: the PC might simply be in a radio blackspot [00:35] Load up a different distro on a lice usb, see if that works [00:35] live* [00:35] Antergos for example [00:35] TJ-: I can slide the PC around on my desk a little. Already tried that. [00:35] or fedora [00:36] nooryani84: I'll buy an audio cable before I do that. [00:36] Vysty: if it's a PC issue, it's likely to be the particular BT chipset in the PC that is the root cause [00:36] Vysty: how about doing tests with the speaker right on the desk? that way it's unlikely signal issues would be the cause [00:37] I used shotcut to successfully clip the video, however the quality downgrades when I export it, even if I keep it the same format. [00:37] Vysty, or a USB bluetooth adapter [00:38] TJ-: On the desk now... still not connecting. [00:38] Char|ie, did you try lossless-cut ? [00:38] Vysty: try "sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service" [00:38] I don't know of any other apps that do lossless cuts for Linux. [00:39] not with a GUI [00:40] TJ-: no luck [00:40] nooryani84: they do, but they don't list the option as 'copy' like ffmpeg does, they list the complex codec options [00:40] Vysty: in any case, I think this is supposed to be a good adapter that works out of the box... https://www.asus.com/Networking/USBBT400/ shouldn't be too expensive. [00:41] Vysty: I've just noticed your kern.log shows the PC had resumed from suspend. Does this also happen after a cold boot and the PC has not been suspended? [00:41] nooryani84: Appreciated. I'm just going to buy an audio cable. [00:41] nooryani84: Less things that can go wrong. [00:41] TJ-: Good question. [00:41] nooryani84, that worked :D [00:41] :) [00:41] TJ-: I'll reboot and see what happens. Be right back. [00:42] Vysty: there are a lot of weird issues due to PC firmware ACPI DSDT bugs like this [00:42] I've never liked Bluetooth [00:42] Very few hw-manufacturors implement it well [00:42] I've used it for over a decade and not had terrible issues [00:42] It depends on what it's used for [00:42] Everthing ) [00:43] Well... I'm sure it's my user error in most cases :) [00:43] The biggest issue with BT is pairing. [00:43] rfcom, hdp, a2dp, avrcp, etc. [00:44] Newer BT sounds great, though older versions were power hogs [00:44] Logitech even make a mouse now that has both an RF adapter and BT, so you can connect with either. [00:46] BT mice and keyboards are very handy, and work well on Linux (mostly! - aside from bluez 5 tripping up the original Apple wireless keyboard pin-code entry) [00:46] TJ-: Back. [00:46] That worked. [00:46] The K380 looks pretty good [00:47] small and solid built, but I've been holding back due to reports of issues using it with the RPi [00:47] Vysty: I'm going to suggest an ACPI workaround that could prevent the issue, if ACPI suspend/resume is the cause. See http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html [00:48] TJ-: ...do I just type these commands into a terminal? [00:48] TJ- : Would very much like to try something like this https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/m720-triathlon?crid=7 which uses the Logitech Unifying adapter as well as BT. [00:49] Vysty: can copy/paste them, or download/run the linked shell script [00:49] copy/paste is what I meant [00:49] Before I do this... is there anything it can screw up/ [00:49] I'm gunshy after yesterday. [00:50] Vysty: of course, it'll make your BT speaker sound like a 7.1 system :D ... no, it's relatively sane [00:51] xD [00:52] sane defaults +1 [00:52] As sane as anything I ever code is :p [00:53] TJ-: Great. No sarcasm meter through chattext. [00:54] Hm... why am I having a problem pasting this all in at once. [00:54] Vysty: maybe do it a line at a time? [00:55] Vysty: if you're having problems download the script instead [00:56] TJ-: Do I need to put in the lines are the big block of code? [00:56] Like this one? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\"" [00:57] Vysty: what you see is what is required, you don't interpret anything [00:57] So... yes put them all in? [00:58] Vysty: that question suggests to me that your primary problems are caused by over-thinking/interpreting literal instructions [00:58] Vysty: Yes, you do [00:58] TJ-: Well primarily problem is NOT thinking about anything and just putting it in. This causes system crashes. I'm avoiding the primary problem by being overly cautious. [00:58] Vysty: if it's a problem download the script, and run it: "wget http://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/acpi_osi.sh; sh ./acpi_osi.sh" [00:58] Vysty: :D OK, I'll allow that [00:59] Now, the REASON I asked, and this hardly counts as being overly cautious, is *what is written here* says that: /etc/default/grub will have added the acpi_osi parameters to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX so it will look something like this (there may be other kernel options that were added on some previous occassion): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_osi=! \"acpi_osi=Windows 2015\"" [00:59] So, per the instructions on this page, this string looks like it might be an output that I need to look out for, NOT something I input. [00:59] Thus my concern, and thus my question. [01:00] Vysty: correct [01:00] shouldn't it be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" [01:00] ? [01:00] problem for join in win , oh yes [01:00] Got it, so I have put in everything. [01:01] nooryani84: no, stop confusing things :D [01:01] ^_^ [01:01] In linux more problem if update windows [01:01] i'm so glad i dont have to do anyting in grub anymore [01:01] TJ-: So now that I've individually put in each line that was in the script, just hope it works better from here on out? [01:01] best advice for a non-dell/lenovo is to buy a laptop 2-3 years old. [01:01] Vysty: you execute the 7 lines that start "VERSION="$(sudo strings ..." [01:02] TJ-: Done. [01:02] Vysty: reboot, then suspend, resume, see if the speaker connectivity behaves [01:03] Vysty: that is what this acpi_osi= is supposed to fix, if it is the cause [01:03] Rebooting now. [01:03] TJ-: the forwardslashes, are they necessary? [01:03] nooryani84: oh yes, as the article explains [01:03] shouldn't it jus be acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2015" [01:04] nooryani84: "Don't be put off by all the \\ characters. Those are required in order to allow sed to insert literal double-quotation marks into the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX string." [01:04] hm [01:04] ok [01:05] i thought it would be double quotes inside single quotes [01:05] though I haven't changed grub via scripts before. [01:06] nooryani84: there's a $VERSION variable there needs to be evaluated, so can't use single-quotes overall [01:06] ah [01:07] nicely documented! [01:07] *looking over* [01:11] TJ-: Yo. [01:11] It worked. [01:11] Vysty: hmmm, chalk another one up for the ACPI team :) [01:11] TJ-: hold on... might have another problem... [01:11] TJ-: Volume seems WAY low now. [01:12] Vysty: don't blame me !!! :D [01:12] There we go. [01:12] TJ-: thanks again TJ for your patience with me. [01:13] TJ-: Like I said yesterday, I'm usually in here after I become frustrated. [01:13] Vysty: this time you're ahead of that curve :) Glad you got it sorted out [01:19] Smb know the user tatertots? === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel === ShaRose_ is now known as ShaRose === rnat_ is now known as rnat === basiclaser_ is now known as basiclaser === nightf0x_ is now known as nightf0x === MrRobot7_ is now known as MrRobot7 === victorbjelkholm_ is now known as victorbjelkholm === nickenchuggets_ is now known as nickenchuggets === ToeSnacks_ is now known as ToeSnacks === Awesomecase_ is now known as Awesomecase === baraba_ is now known as baraba [02:10] I have a terminal question, if I am installing something that has over 1 line to enter into the terminal can I copy and paste all of them and have them run or should I copy and run each line seperate?

[03:16] Bashing-om I am using Pidgin and open to suggestions for other IRC clients [03:21] !grub | znh try this while you wait [03:21] znh try this while you wait: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[03:24] How do you UNSET something in the terminal and what does that do? [03:25] dax: Ya mind looking at http://ubuntu-manual.org/ . The 'download now' gives a routing error . [03:25] I know. I don't know any Ubuntu Manual people, so there's nothing I can do about that. [03:26] dax: K .. we just limp along with out :) [03:27] morning dax [03:28] dax: join discuss, we got that graph for you [03:28] lotuspsychje: if you could throw it in #ubuntu-ops, that would probably be more useful. I am not, after all, the only person pondering this stuff :) [03:28] dax: did that yesterday [03:29] I saw the one you put in there. I assumed you meant a new, user one. [03:30] ah, no we havent reached him yet dax [03:30] Turns out Pici has one too, so it's not too urgent. Would be interested in seeing if they match though, I am ever wary of statistics. [03:31] dax: come to discuss mate, alkisg had a nice idea aswell [03:31] Again, ops stuff goes in #ubuntu-ops, because I'm neither the sole person interested in this nor particularly active. [03:32] allright, i did all that yesterday..its not in my hands anymore now [03:32] Yes, that was more for any further info or nice ideas, or whatever :) [03:33] dax, Bashing-om on my side the manual opens and forwards to my language (dutch) [03:34] country issue? [03:34] lotuspsychje: Beats me . dax advises is aware of the issue with no known fix . [03:34] lotuspsyche Maybe its the english link thats broken [03:35] To be fair, me being aware of the issue is approximately as useful as anyone else being aware of it. I'm merely a channel operator for #ubuntu, which doesn't make me in any way useful for handing infrastructure issues for some other Ubuntu endeavor. [03:35] JJBby: could be yes, we should test more languages [03:38] JJBby: perhaps i would talk to the #ubuntu-mirror guys, they might know a way [03:38] Well does any one have a english version of the ubuntu manual that they could send? [03:38] dax: But but but .. dax you the go to !

[04:00] JJBby: sure mate [04:00] JJBby: sure , So long as it is 'buntu related - the only dumb question is the one you do not ask :) [04:01] Its using the terminal in Ubuntu to get ruby and ruby on rails together, is that related enough?

[04:03] JJBby: depends on what you need [04:03] hi [04:03] dekatch: welcome [04:05] ha thanks lotuspsychje :) [04:07] lotuspsychje: I think that worked? Not sure what really changed [04:08] JJBby: install packages: sudo apt install yourpackage [04:08] i am struggling a bit atm. i want to move all files from several subdirectories into its main directory [04:09] and i am looking for a good source / tutorial to teach myself a little [04:09] oh, i want to do that with the mv command.. and a single command line** i should add [04:10] !bash | dekatch [04:10] dekatch: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:12] yea, i know that lotuspsychje . looking for a good guide, a user written one on which several weird usecases are explained [04:33] how will you handle filename collisions? [04:40] I know the officail ubuntu repos for 16.04 contian apache 2.4.18 but is there a convenient way to install 2.4.29 ? <--- the very very latest version? [04:41] I've been poking around on the internet but not seing a deb package or a 3rd party repo to add for it [04:41] !latest | plongshot [04:41] plongshot: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [04:42] we dont support ppa's neither plongshot [04:42] so what do I do? [04:42] plongshot: if you want a higher version, install another ubuntu version [04:43] what about adding a repo from a later version of ubuntu? [04:43] What I mean to say is is that possible? [04:43] plongshot: not reccomended [04:43] !pinning | plongshot [04:43] plongshot: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [04:44] plongshot: or perhaps try searching snaps of your package? sudo snap find ... [04:44] thanks [04:44] plongshot: but mixing package versions on ubuntu can scramble your system [04:45] so try not to [04:51] Is there a convenient way to check what version of a package is included in a particular release of ubuntu? [04:54] !msgthebot | plongshot yes with !info packagename ubuntucodename [04:54] plongshot yes with !info packagename ubuntucodename: Please investigate me only with "/msg ubottu bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu search " [04:54] .!info apache xenial for example [04:56] thanks [05:14] Hey guys. Complete Linux newbie here, trying to get into any kind of friendly community here :) [05:17] avocado1: You have found the support channel . general chat and friendly folks too in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [05:18] Oh ok, thanks! [05:54] Hello. How can I edit the Title bar (window decoration) in themes folder in Ubuntu 16.04? === avelardi_alt is now known as avelardi [06:05] ok im pretty sure i have a problem with adb and ubuntu desktop 16.04 x64 LTS. when i plug in my phone and put into usb debug mode i can not connect with 'adb shell' command. if i boot to windows 10 x64 i can. i have revoked keys several times for each [06:05] only in windows 10 will it ask my to accept computers connection after i have revoked keys (like it supposed to) [06:06] with ubuntu and adb i can not get the popup and am always unauthorized [06:06] in 'adb devices' [06:08] can anyone help out on this. i hate booting to windows just to do adb commands when its awesome to do in ubuntu [06:14] en1gma: whats your endgoal with smartphone? [06:14] Good morning all [06:15] en1gma: sometimes `killall adb-server; sudo adb shell` helps, i.e. running it with sudo... [06:21] ahh lemme try that. i just deleted the keys in .android. i think i need to reboot it says. 1 min [06:24] yea didnt work [06:24] also tried 'sudo adb shell' too [06:24] it never made any new keys in "~/.android' [06:24] When running with sudo, make sure that `ps aux|grep adb` reports nothing running [06:25] Otherwise it can't bind to ports etc, they're already used [06:25] k lemme check. i pretty sure i did 'adb kill-server' though [06:25] Btw, you do see the phone in lsusb, right? === blazeme8` is now known as blazeme8 === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [06:26] alkisg that did it [06:27] i killed all and did not start adb with 'adb start-server' [06:27] this time i just started it with 'sudo adb shell' and it started up and then i got the authentication popup. [06:27] thank-you [06:35] Bashing-om: lotuspsychje: i found that username on launchpad and pinged them with a message about the manual site and just got an email to say it should be fixed now. [06:37] el: ok tnx [07:07] hi, which web cam you will refer to use on ubuntu 16 ? i am looking lot of these are only supported with windows [07:08] johan-hedin: most cams get recognized in ubuntu [07:09] quantum not working it [07:11] lotuspsychje, any webcam additional , you will suggest which can give best performace when i am doing my whiteboard presentation [07:11] ? [07:15] johan-hedin: you could try asking in ##hardware I guess [07:16] other than that, like lotuspsychje said most cams should work, at least to some degree [07:16] Is there a way to refresh ubuntu installation. [07:22] Furai: use a liveusb with the ubuntu of your choice, and preserve your /home from there: refreshed [07:25] Right, and loose anything custom from opt. [07:26] Anyway, that's what I did with prevoious upgrade. [07:26] This time I went with do-release-upgrade and I'm having minor issues since then. [07:26] Anyway, will figure it out. [07:28] Could I make a cd-rw drive into a swap drive? [07:31] dan2wik, no [07:36] Furai, what issues? [07:37] alkisg, DE crashing on random. Like even whole login session. Sometimes happens just like that, but most of the time when I unlock machine. [07:38] Furai, on next login, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old or /var/crash for the crash [07:41] Hmm, might do. [07:42] But most often then not when it happens I have to force shutdown PC (in case switching to new tty doesn't seems to work). [07:42] Furai, xorg writes xorg.log when it crashes, and on next reboot it renames it to .old. It should be there unless it's a really hard crash [07:44] Ok, thanks. [07:44] np [07:45]
