| nfsnobody | hi all. I updated my nvidia card drivers and my xubuntu 17.10 install is now failing to boot - normal boot just goes to a blank screen (even with nomodeset). I can however log into recovery with networking and get a root shell up | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| nfsnobody | Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 00:16 |
| nfsnobody | I should note I attemped to uninstall nvidia drivers and reinstall 340/reinstall nouveau packages, to no effect | 00:17 |

| good_cookies | hi. is it possible to install python3.6 on xubuntu 16.04? how? | 11:48 |
| rick_ | heed hlelp | 11:50 |
| knome | rick_, ask the question... | 11:50 |
| knome | good_cookies, if it's not in the repositories, the next easiest thing would be a PPA or if that doesn't work and you really need that version, you can build from the source... | 11:51 |
| good_cookies | terminal says me scary things. like system will break when i trying to add PPA. is it ok to go with it? | 11:52 |
| rick_ | language support not open | 11:52 |
| knome | good_cookies, PPA's are always at your own risk - it's possible that it can break your system | 11:54 |
| knome | good_cookies, you need to consider how much you need that version, how ready you are to fix potential issues with it | 11:55 |
| flux242 | yeah, installing official ubuntu kernel driver can also brick your computer | 11:55 |
| good_cookies | can i have both versions of python then? | 11:55 |
| knome | flux242, how "funny" - at least ubuntu developers are then doing their best to fix it - PPA maintainers likely not | 11:56 |
| knome | good_cookies, if you build it from source, then yes with caveats | 11:56 |
| knome | good_cookies, if you install from a PPA, nope | 11:56 |
| good_cookies | what is the difference? | 11:57 |
| flux242 | ubuntu so called developers should not fuck up at this scale. Was there any other distro affected? No? | 11:57 |
| knome | if you don't know, then i'd say only the PPA option is realistic for you | 11:57 |
| knome | flux242, can you take this discussion elsewhere as it's not exactly xubuntu support? | 11:57 |
| knome | flux242, also please remember this is a family friendly channel | 11:58 |
| rick_ | language support in xubuntu closed down | 11:58 |
| knome | rick_, does not open - closed down - what does that mean? | 11:58 |
| good_cookies | #join xubuntu-offtopic | 11:58 |
| knome | good_cookies, 18.04 LTS is released on april, it has python 3.x | 11:59 |
| knome | 3.6.x i mean | 11:59 |
| rick_ | Loading and directly closing | 11:59 |
| knome | rick_, what happens if you run "gnome-language-selector" from the terminal without the quotes? | 12:00 |
| rick_ | ** (gnome-language-selector:3632): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-1duXL4BPjO: Connection refused Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gnome-language-selector", line 22, in on_activate options=options) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/gtk/GtkLanguageSelector.py", line 202, in __init__ self.check_input_methods() File "/usr/lib/pyth | 12:04 |
| knome | that warning is "fine" | 12:07 |
| knome | anything else? | 12:07 |
| knome | i have to go though, others are likely able to help as well | 12:07 |
| knome | good luck | 12:07 |

| xubuntu93i | hi there | 23:15 |
| flocculant | xubuntu93i: hi - got an issue? | 23:22 |
| xubuntu93i | no. everything is fine. i'm installing xubuntu in a very old machine... | 23:23 |
| flocculant | aah ok - just chatting is #xubuntu-offtopic if you want :) | 23:24 |
| genii | So you're here just in case something happens? | 23:24 |
| flocculant | not really - I just try and pick up the slack | 23:26 |
| dax | excuse me sir, slack is down the hall and to the left, this is irc, home of people who don't like new things | 23:27 |
| dax | :3 | 23:27 |
| JackFrost | Oh that explains why I'm here. | 23:27 |
| flocculant | dax: bah - I've been slack for 50 odd years, I'll not shuffle down the corridor :D | 23:27 |
