[00:16] <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?
[00:17] <nfsnobody> I should note I attemped to uninstall nvidia drivers and reinstall 340/reinstall nouveau packages, to no effect
[10:30] <xubuntu52i> ts
[11:44] <rick_> ?
[11:48] <knome> !
[11:48] <good_cookies> hi. is it possible to install python3.6 on xubuntu 16.04? how?
[11:50] <rick_> heed hlelp
[11:50] <knome> rick_, ask the question...
[11:51] <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...
[11:52] <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
[11:54] <knome> good_cookies, PPA's are always at your own risk - it's possible that it can break your system
[11:55] <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?
[11:56] <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
[11:57] <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?
[11:58] <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
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <knome> rick_, what happens if you run "gnome-language-selector" from the terminal without the quotes?
[12:04] <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
[12:07] <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
[15:51] <Yataga_> hi
[15:52] <Yataga_> somebody here?
[15:53] <Yataga_> hello ._:
[15:53] <Valeyard1> hi
[15:53] <Valeyard1> too late
[16:22] <flocculant> usually is
[23:15] <xubuntu93i> hi there
[23:22] <flocculant> xubuntu93i: hi - got an issue?
[23:23] <xubuntu93i> no. everything is fine. i'm installing xubuntu in a very old machine...
[23:24] <flocculant> aah ok - just chatting is #xubuntu-offtopic if you want :)
[23:24] <genii> So you're here just in case something happens?
[23:26] <flocculant> not really - I just try and pick up the slack
[23:27] <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
