[01:47] how i can get mass copy files on PCfman? [01:48] Ctrl + A? [01:49] mass copy file with batch, resume, tails? [01:53] On cuba island the people watch video on usb stick memory, overlapping the stablisment restrictions, so, the mass copy files is critical to adopt lubuntu. [06:09] Any idea why a keyboard and mouse would stop working? Computer boots... keyboard works to get into BIOS... Able to use keyboard to choose from Grub boot menu... and I can put Numlock on and off during boot. But the moment the login screen pops up the keyboard and mouse no longer work. I have changed keyboards... used both PS2 and USB keyboards [06:11] Ascavasaion, fresh install? [06:12] diogenes_: Sheesh... is that not extreme? [06:13] does it work in live use session? [06:13] diogenes_: Have not tried that because it worked before. [06:15] then it happened after what? update/upgrade? [06:15] diogenes_: Yes... update. [06:16] at grub, can u choose to boot the previuos kernel? [06:17] diogenes_: there is no previous kernel. It updated a few apps... but not a kernel.. Let me restart to make 100% sure. [06:17] ok [06:21] diogenes_: Same thing :-( [06:23] do u remember what packages were updated? [06:24] Unfortunately not. [06:26] you pretty much stuck, I'd advice u to burn a live dvd on a friend's pc and run it, then find your /home/.config/autostart [06:27] I can SSH in? If that is of any help to us? [06:27] see what apps are being started [06:28] then ssh and check startup [06:28] also you could try dist-upgrade [06:29] the autostart folder is empty [06:30] run xinput [06:30] I was trying to get higher res in xorg... I installed package... not exactly sure of the name.... [06:31] When I do dist-upgrade this line... [06:31] The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [06:31] libxfont2 xserver-xorg-legacy-hwe-16.04 [06:31] you have to run sudo apt autoremove [06:31] the xserver-org-legacy one... It triggered my memory... I installed something for xorg related to Intel. [06:32] oh [06:32] then try this [06:33] ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [06:33] and what do you get? [06:34] Just one thing... think it might have been this... xserver-xorg-video-intel [06:35] what is the output of the command? [06:35] joel@mynasbox:~/.config/autostart$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [06:35] ls: cannot access '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/': No such file or directory [06:36] and ls /etc/X11/ [06:36] If I did a sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel* ? [06:36] joel@mynasbox:~/.config/autostart$ ls /etc/X11 [06:36] app-defaults default-display-manager openbox xinit Xreset Xresources Xsession.d xsm [06:36] cursors fonts rgb.txt xkb Xreset.d Xsession Xsession.options Xwrapper.config [06:37] try removing that package and reboot, if that don't help we'll see [06:37] Okies [06:38] Done and rebooting [06:41] Back [06:41] Never worked. [06:41] ok let's try one trick [06:42] via ssh: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [06:42] Do I not need to do soemthing like dpkg-reconfigure xorg etc? [06:43] I mean after removing that other xserver thing? [06:43] you can try that [06:43] Okay, did sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [06:44] sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf [06:45] Did it... returned me to prompt with no messazges. [06:45] messages I mean. [06:46] ok [06:46] now run: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf [06:47] paste in the following [06:47] Section "InputClass" [06:47] Identifier "system-keyboard" [06:47] MatchIsKeyboard "on" [06:47] Option "XkbLayout" "us" [06:47] EndSection [06:47] Blank file. [06:48] hehe [06:48] Sorry about that :) [06:48] Done and saved [06:48] reboot? [06:48] yes [06:49] Rebooting [06:49] ok [06:54] Still nothing [06:54] ok run: sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [06:55] try this: sudo apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-all [07:00] Done... do I reboot now? [07:00] yes [07:02] Sorry for delay... running a hardware raid... takes a while on each boot. [07:02] np [07:05] I have a question... unrelated... to reboot I keep having to type sudo reboot in the SSH connection... would sudo shutdown -r now be better? I ask because each time it starts it runs a filesystem check whichmakes me wonder if the sudo reboot is not shutting down stuff properly before rebooting. [07:07] sometimes, especially after gpu driver installation, it's recommended to actually shutdown the pc instead of reboot [07:07] WHOOP WHOOP!!!! [07:07] It worked [07:07] Thank you! [07:07] you're welcome [07:08] xserver has my brain boggled. [07:08] :)) [07:10] diogenes_: Can I pick your brain some more re graphics resolutions? [07:10] It is what made everything bomb in the first place hehe [07:10] your resolution is not correct? [07:10] It says that the max it can do is 1024x768... but I am 95% certain that it can go higher. [07:10] This is not urgent, but it would be nice :-) [07:11] It is running at 1024x768... but I am sure it goes up to the 12xx x 1024 resolution. [07:12] ok let's see, run: sudo lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 [07:12] pastebin it and share the link [07:14] https://pastebin.com/JqAmcHaT [07:15] ok now pastebin: xrandr [07:17] https://pastebin.com/ENUXqbB5 [07:17] Ascavasaion, not with sudo [07:18] simply: xrand [07:18] xrandr* [07:19] Looks the same... https://pastebin.com/xHJyNA6y [07:21] it says, you current is: 3200x1080 [07:21] That is not true. [07:21] I mean the output is not true hehe [07:21] Ooooh [07:21] Wait [07:21] Maybe because I am in SSH [07:21] It is giving this computer's settings [07:21] ah ok [07:21] Le tme log in there [07:21] ok [07:22] BAck [07:23] pastebin those: sudo lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 and xrandr [07:24] https://pastebin.com/XfAhk4Pc [07:25] ok let's try one trick [07:26] pastebin the output of: cvt 1280 720 [07:26] only if you get any [07:27] https://pastebin.com/N05ySjVW [07:28] I did get "any" hehe [07:29] run: xrandr --newmode "1280x720_60.00" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync [07:29] Returned to prompt with no emssages [07:29] messages I mean. [07:30] that's good [07:30] now run: xrandr | grep " connected " | awk '{ print$1 }' [07:30] and paste here the putput [07:30] output* [07:31] It just said "DP-1" [07:31] run: xrandr --addmode DP-1 1280x720_60.00 [07:31] returned to prompt, no message [07:32] run: xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1280x720_60.00 [07:32] It worked [07:32] WOW! [07:32] So if I do all of this using 1280x1024 it should work? [07:33] but wait, these changes won't survive the reboot [07:33] Oh, okay [07:33] it might work with a larger resolution too [07:33] the thing you need to do [07:33] The monitor can do max 1280x1024 [07:34] is to create a startup script that will run these commands at startup: [07:34] xrandr --newmode "1280x720_60.00" 74.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 720 723 728 748 -hsync +vsync [07:34] xrandr --addmode DP-1 1280x720_60.00 [07:34] xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1280x720_60.00 [07:34] if you wanna try with 1280x1024 [07:35] then run: cvt 1280 1024 [07:35] pastebin [07:36] https://pastebin.com/Xh37a566 [07:37] run: xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync [07:38] run: xrandr --addmode DP-1 1280x1024_60.00 [07:38] run: xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1280x1024_60.00 [07:38] see if that works [07:39] You rock!!! [07:39] Worked perfectly [07:39] ok then let's create a starup script [07:39] Thank you [07:39] run: mkdir $HOME/Documents/scripts [07:40] done [07:40] run: touch $HOME/Documents/scripts/resolution.sh [07:40] done [07:40] run: nano $HOME/Documents/scripts/resolution.sh [07:41] done [07:41] #!/bin/bash [07:41] xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync [07:41] xrandr --addmode DP-1 1280x1024_60.00 [07:41] xrandr --output DP-1 --mode 1280x1024_60.00 [07:42] save, close [07:44] done [07:44] let's see if it works, run: xrandr --size 1024x768 [07:45] did it change the relsolution back?
