| bomb | hello | 09:41 |
|---|---|---|
| bomb | should i install 17.10 or 16.04 on an elder's computer? | 09:41 |
| bomb | 16.04 is obviously more stable, but 17.10 might have a better hardware support | 09:42 |
| bomb | it's a lenovo laptop | 09:42 |
| BjornH | Hi have just installed 16.04 on a Dell Inspiron Mini Notebook, and it works fine.. when i install the updates it mess up my screen and i cant read any off the text, looks like the update mess with my screen resulution, anybody had this issue? | 09:53 |
| bomb | BjornH: can you try disabling desktop composition? | 09:54 |
| bomb | settings > windows manager tweaks > compositing | 09:54 |
| BjornH | Hi bomb, how can i do that? | 09:54 |
| BjornH | no way, cant see any menus or text | 09:55 |
| bomb | oh, i thought it's only a text rendering issue | 09:55 |
| bomb | it should have something to do with aspect ratio, i guess | 09:55 |
| BjornH | yeah i agree but not sure how to change those settings | 09:56 |
| BjornH | it was at 1024x600 before the upgrade, but now i cant see any text even in the cli window | 09:57 |
| bomb | oh? | 09:57 |
| bomb | you can't readait's still broken when you go into command line using ctrl+alt+f1? | 09:58 |

| xubuntu54d | Hey guys! Am I right here if I need some help with my freshly installed xubuntu? | 10:42 |
| bomb | yeah | 10:43 |
| xubuntu54d | Ok, im searching my ass off for a solution.... | 10:44 |
| xubuntu54d | I try to mount a cifs share from my nas via /etc/fstab | 10:44 |
| xubuntu54d | and im all fine, got it mounted to a folder on my system. But whatever i try, its mounting read only | 10:44 |
| xubuntu54d | tried the rw option, guid and so on, but nothing changes | 10:45 |
| bomb | i'd ask this question in ##linux and #ubuntu | 10:45 |
| xubuntu54d | Ok, trying it there, then. | 10:46 |
| xubuntu54d | Thanks! | 10:46 |
| bomb | np | 10:46 |
| antimist | Okay, this is weird, I came across this problem yesterday | 11:09 |
| antimist | but on a clean install of XUbuntu 17.10.1 x64 | 11:10 |
| antimist | after installation, and restart, I run a apt upgrade | 11:10 |
| antimist | and well, issues arise | 11:10 |
| antimist | I have the package list of updates, here: https://ghostbin.com/paste/haxzy | 11:11 |
| antimist | The issues are as follows: Polkit authorization doesn't work | 11:12 |
| antimist | Systemd user daemon can't connect for some reason | 11:12 |
| antimist | Automount, now requires passwords, and same for reboot. | 11:13 |
| antimist | Systemd user services, have issues with opening displays. | 11:13 |
| antimist | Turning off and on of the Wifi services from the NetworkManager, now doesn't work. | 11:13 |
| antimist | Any help? | 11:13 |
| antimist | I tried using the older kernel 4.13.0-21 instead of 4.13.0-32 | 11:13 |
| antimist | but doesn't help | 11:14 |
| bomb | doesn't look good | 11:14 |
| antimist | yeah, it doesn't | 11:14 |
| antimist | I have come across this 3 times, on 3 separate clean installs | 11:15 |
| antimist | Thought it was something else, but now I feel it's because of what I mentioned earlier | 11:15 |
| bomb | i think i'd just go with 16.04 | 11:16 |
| antimist | heh, at this point that's what I was thinking | 11:17 |
| antimist | Or maybe default Ubuntu 17.10 | 11:17 |
| antimist | Let's see | 11:17 |
| bomb | i feel that'd be worse | 11:18 |
| bomb | there's a big switch going on in stock Ubuntu right now | 11:18 |
| antimist | due to wayland? | 11:18 |
| bomb | yeah, also Unity->Gnome | 11:18 |
| antimist | yeah, also that | 11:18 |
| antimist | ugh, let me see, luckily I had backup which I'm restoring | 11:19 |
| antimist | I will be back, testing some things | 11:28 |
| antimist | well, back, and still at the same spot | 11:33 |
| bomb | you know what you need to do | 11:40 |

| antimist | lol, nice | 11:41 |
| antimist | yeah, I do | 11:41 |
| kawaiiperson | Hello guys. I have been having an issue a few times.. Basically, I do a fresh install of xubuntu 16.04.3.. I use my computer as I always has, locking the screen from XFCEs menu.. Usually I can type in my password and continue working.. However, once in a while, mouse/keyboards stops working.. | 18:17 |
| kawaiiperson | After this happens, rebooting does not solve anything. I have found a few supposed solutions online, such as setting acpi=force irqpoll OR iommu=soft OR iommu=pt, tried all three and combinations of them (of course not setting iommu two times in the same go). My usb devices is detected and listed by lsusb. If I boot into a live distro of xubuntu 16.04.3 everything works, booting into my installed linux, it fails again. | 18:17 |
| kawaiiperson | I have had this problem a couple of times on my laptop, reinstalling fixed this, until it happened the next time. However, I would rather not reinstall on my desktop and if I really wanted to reinstall my OS every time something breaks, I would install windows XP. :-P | 18:17 |
