| RoadRunner | Xubuntu 16.04 comp stoped booting. Description: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XNCdS5xxK2/ | 22:14 |
| drleviathan | RoadRunner, perhaps boot from USB, delete any garbage files from /dev/sda5 (like stuff in /var/log or /var/tmp) to free up some space and try again? | 22:51 |
| RoadRunner | drleviathan: I have BleachBit installed on that box and run it regularly so garbage shouldn't have accumulated... | 22:58 |
| * drleviathan googles 'BleachBit' | 22:58 | |
| drleviathan | Ok well, I was just guessing about something to try. I would boot with USB or DVD and examine the data on the drive if possible. If it is readable I'd backup the important stuff to external drive and if I couldn't coax it into working I'd just reinstall and then copy my user data back. | 23:01 |
| drleviathan | Of course, in the process of that you might discover that the HD really is failing. Dunno. I haven't had an HD fail for several years now: 8 or 9. | 23:04 |
| RoadRunner | drleviathan: does Xubuntu live CD have comparable rescue capabilities to an Ubuntu Live CD's recovery mode ? | 23:05 |
| drleviathan | Yes, I think so. AFAIK Xubuntu really is just Ubuntu with a different window manager and login wrapper. | 23:06 |
| drleviathan | But there are (or there were, I haven't looked in several years) some live-boot rescue oriented distros. | 23:07 |
| drleviathan | Ubuntu was a spinoff of Knoppix as I recall, and that was one of primary purposes of Knoppix: as a rescue tool. | 23:09 |
| RoadRunner | another q: any advise on how to best install baobab under Xubuntu 16.04? | 23:13 |
| drleviathan | sudo apt-get install baobab ? | 23:16 |
| RoadRunner | worked like a charm, don't know why I had issues with it bfr, thanks :) | 23:34 |
| RoadRunner | last q: If change a video card from Nvidia to AMD on an existing Xubuntu 16.04 install, is xub going to automatically detect the change on booting and install the apropriate driver or does OS (and everything else) need to be reinstalled? | 23:36 |
| drleviathan | RoadRunner, I would expect it to auto detect and load the correct module for AMD. | 23:47 |
| drleviathan | In my experience: problems happen when it loads the correct nVidia module but other configs are bad and I end up with a black screen. | 23:48 |
| drleviathan | right after installing/updating the nVidia driver | 23:48 |
| RoadRunner | hope such issues are not common with amd | 23:49 |
