WoLfHello and good evening! Long time user trying to cope with changes and give the best effort towards switching to 18.10.. I'm sure the new stuff is as good if not better, but I'm having some issues trying to get a similar panel to what I had up to 18.04, in example, showing system temperature in text as an applet..00:46
WoLfA quick search didn't help me much, other than one post about a quite convoluted use of Conky.. What am I missing? is it really not possible to have the sensors monitor in text instead of bars?00:47
sappheirosI tried answering my question at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1086869/how-do-i-fix-fcitx-from-freezing-my-keyboard-and-mouse-click but instead askubuntu posted it as a comment, even though I specifically clicked to post an answer.04:17

lubot<v4vnc> Fwd from v4vnc: Hello everyone yesterday I installed lubuntu 18 on my pentium 4 it was working well through my USB means in live environment but when I installed it.Then after boot it shows lubuntu logo after that black screen with mouse cursor17:56
lubot<v4vnc> Fwd from v4vnc: How to solve this??17:56
wxl@v4vnc can you get to a virtual terminal with ctrl-alt-f1?17:57
lubot<v4vnc> No17:57
wxlcttrl-alt-<any f-key> does not work?17:58
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl> cttrl-alt-<any f-key [<wxl> cttrl-alt-<any f-key> does not work?], Now in live environment also lubuntu then it loads and nothing happens17:58
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl> cttrl-alt-<any f-key [<wxl> cttrl-alt-<any f-key> does not work?], No17:58
wxl@v4vnc did you check the hashes of the iso after downloading and the integrity of the copy to the usb?17:59
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> @v4vnc did you check the hashes of the iso after downloading and the integ …], How to do that17:59
wxloh boy17:59
wxlwell that's the #1 thing you need to do every single time17:59
wxl!hashes17:59
ubottuSee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases17:59
wxlthat will take care of checking the iso, which will confirm whether or not there are download errors18:00
wxlafter that, you can boot the USB and at the boot screen, select "check disc for defects," which will confirm whether or not there are copy errors18:00
wxla single BIT of difference can lead to some really strange problems18:00
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> after that, you can boot the USB and at the boot screen, select "check dis …], I had already tested disc before installing but it didn't showed any error18:03
wxl@v4vnc did you do both steps?18:03
wxl@v4vnc the other problem that i can't resolve is the inconsistency of your situation. if it worked before in the live environment, why doesn't it work now? what did you change? unless you're not properly booting to the usb and you're just booting to the drive every time.18:06
apt-ghettoit could be a problem with the graphic driver18:09
wxlthat usually does not lead to freezes18:09
apt-ghettoas far as i understand it, it is blocked during the boot18:11
wxlif there's a graphics issue, it will boot x, but with errors18:11
wxlat which point, the virtual terminals work fine18:11
apt-ghettoif it reaches graphical.target18:13
lubot<v4vnc> Hey I got access to terminal18:16
lubot<v4vnc> Now what18:16
wxlwhat changed?18:16
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> what changed?], Nothing just rebooted twice18:17
wxl"nothing"18:17
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> what changed?], Still same problem black screen with cursor18:17
wxlthis smells like a hardware issue to me18:17
lubot<v4vnc> (Video, 83s)https://telegram.lubuntu.me/7nR7Z0Bp/file_4468.mp418:17
wxllike broken hardware18:17
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [<reply to image>], See thia18:17
lubot<v4vnc> **This18:17
apt-ghettoyou mean a mouse cursor?18:17
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> like broken hardware], But xubuntu and Ubuntu were working good18:18
lubot<v4vnc> @apt-ghetto [<apt-ghetto> you mean a mouse cursor?], Yeah18:18
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [But xubuntu and Ubuntu were working good], Though they were slow18:18
wxlbut you just said it works some of the time and doesn't work other times18:18
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> but you just said it works some of the time and doesn't work other times], Yeah18:18
wxli mean the software isn't changing itself18:18
lubot<v4vnc> Right now tell me what to do18:19
wxlso what other explanation is there/18:19
wxlwell, i can't fix broken18:19
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> well, i can't fix broken], I think prblm is with graphic card18:19
apt-ghettologin to a console and update your system: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade18:19
lubot<v4vnc> My PC is old that's why may be18:20
lubot<v4vnc> @apt-ghetto [<apt-ghetto> login to a console and update your system: sudo apt update && sudo …], Kk18:20
wxlbut i would agree, in general, that if you get an unexpected situation in terms of graphics, it's probably a graphics issue, most likely one that can be fixed with the right drivers or kernel modes.18:20
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> but i would agree, in general, that if you get an unexpected situation in …], How to do that18:21
wxldepends on the situation. you'd need to dig through the logs and see what errors you find18:21
wxlyou could see if there are proprietary drivers with `sudo ubuntu-drivers list`18:22
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> depends on the situation. you'd need to dig through the logs and see what …], Do you have any reference link18:22
wxlno. in /var/log there's syslog, dmesg, and the Xorg logs that should be looked through for *ERRORS* (not warnings)18:22
wxlregarding kernel options you can look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions .... nomodeset works a lot of the time18:24
apt-ghettojournalctl -b -p err18:25
wxlall the kernel parameters are here https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt18:25
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> And about the graphic card? It's the onboard Intel graphic card or external one?18:26
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> Lubuntu 16.04 works fine with this machine? It's old hardware, Asus p5pe-vm Intel 865/ICH518:28
lubot<v4vnc> I am finding something strange ,before appearance of black screen my PC screen splash so why it's happening18:33
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [I am finding something strange ,before appearance of black screen my PC screen s …], U can see that in video also18:34
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> And about my questions18:36
lubot<v4vnc> @Marcelo Pugliesi [And about the graphic card? It's the onboard Intel graphic card or external one?], Onboard18:38
apt-ghettoplease post: lspci -nnk | grep -A3 "\[03..\]:"18:42
lubot<v4vnc> @apt-ghetto [<apt-ghetto> please post: lspci -nnk | grep -A3 "\[03..\]:"], Aptghetto means18:46
lubot<v4vnc> Am I supposed to type that also18:46
apt-ghettocopy&paste to the terminal18:46
apt-ghettoor type it18:46
lubot<v4vnc> K18:47
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/KIxdQHa.jpg Its showing this18:48
apt-ghettofirst letter is a little L not a pipe18:49
apt-ghettoafter grep has to be a space18:50
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/ZtOJJOB.jpg18:51
apt-ghettothere are missing other spaces18:51
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> The command is just:  ... lspci -nnk | grep -A3 "\[03..\]:"18:51
apt-ghettolspci<SPACE>-nnk<SPACE> etc18:51
lubot<v4vnc> It worked18:52
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/pMJppnT.jpg18:53
wxlXD18:53
wxlmaybe try `lspci -nnk | grep -A3 VGA`18:53
wxlor maybe just `lspci -nnk | pastebinit` and give us the resulting URL18:54
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 768x1280) https://i.imgur.com/BimuVSn.jpg18:55
wxlyou're either using too few or too many spaces18:56
wxl`lspci -nnk` not `lspci-nnk` and not `lspci - nnk`18:56
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> lspci - nnk18:58
lubot<Marcelo Pugliesi> lspci -nnk18:58
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/YlafOZ9.jpg18:58
lubot<v4vnc> Now18:59
lubot<v4vnc> What's the next step18:59
wxlcan you type that out here?19:02
lubot<v4vnc> Yeah19:02
apt-ghettohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZWDwM7QKKr/19:02
lubot<v4vnc> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZWDwM7QKKr/19:02
wxli couldn't even make that out as a Q19:03
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> i couldn't even make that out as a Q], Now what's the next step19:04
wxldid you run that journalctl command from above?19:06
lubot<v4vnc> Yeah19:07
wxland?19:07
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/ONksOSe.jpg19:08
wxlit's hard to read these pcitures19:09
wxlyou should use pastebinit as above19:09
lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/pnDLEzr.jpg See this one19:09
wxlhowever i'm seeing errors both with your disk and the usb drive itself19:09
wxlas aforementioned, can't fix broken19:10
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> however i'm seeing errors both with your disk and the usb drive itself], Ohk but tell me xubuntu was working fine so should I install that??19:11
wxli suspect if you try to install that you will run into the samep roblems19:11
lubot<v4vnc> So what it means19:12
wxlit means you have broken hardware. replace your harddrive.19:12
lubot<v4vnc> I will not be able to boot any Linux distro19:12
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> it means you have broken hardware. replace your harddrive.], Kk19:12
wxlthis explains why the usb worked19:14
wxlno hard drive required19:14
wxlhowever, you do seem to be having errors with the usb, which may be related to a particular usb port19:14
wxlalthough it's entirely possible it could be dying, too19:14
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> however, you do seem to be having errors with the usb, which may be relate …], I think USB error is showing bcoz my phone is connected to PC I am using it for Internet19:15
wxlit's possible19:15
wxlwaaaait a minute19:16
wxli'm gonna take back what i said19:16
wxlthat's /dev/fd0. do you have a floppy drive on this machine?19:17
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> that's /dev/fd0. do you have a floppy drive on this machine?], No its just showing even I don't have floppy driver19:17
wxlwell that's weird..19:18
apt-ghettoi/o could be because of corrupt RAM19:18
wxlcould be19:18
wxlcorrupt RAM can make all kinds of crazy stuff happen19:19
wxlyou can reboot and at the GRUB screen use the memtester19:19
lubot<v4vnc> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/WsmzkybDkr/19:20
wxlgo test your memory19:20
lubot<v4vnc> Kk19:21
apt-ghettoif memtest find errors, you can abort it, because your RAM is corrupt19:24
apt-ghettoif not, let memtest run some hours to be sure (6 hours or more)19:25
lubot<v4vnc> @apt-ghetto [<apt-ghetto> if not, let memtest run some hours to be sure (6 hours or more)], 6 hours or 6 pass19:25
apt-ghetto6 hours with zero errors and you can be very sure, that your RAM is working well19:27
apt-ghetto6 hours with one or more errors and your RAM is corrupt19:27

lubot<v4vnc> (Photo, 1280x768) https://i.imgur.com/dcnMiqe.jpg I installed xubuntu through but during PC started showing this..Now I m not getting is it good or bad??20:54
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [<reply to image>], Through USB20:54
wxlhow did the memchecking go?20:54
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> how did the memchecking go?], U said 6 hours I don't have that much time and earlier xubuntu was working well on my PC so I reinstalled it20:56
wxlthat wasn't the entirety of the message20:56
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [<reply to image>], Tell me meaning of this20:56
wxldid you try them at all?20:56
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> did you try them at all?], What???I am not getting what u r trying to say20:57
wxldid you try the memtest at all?20:57
lubot<v4vnc> Yes I tried it once it said error:020:57
wxlfor how long did you try?20:58
lubot<v4vnc> @v4vnc [<reply to image>], Is it normal20:58
wxlno, it's a kernel crash20:58
lubot<v4vnc> @wxl [<wxl> no, it's a kernel crash], So what's the solution20:59
wxlno clue. that's very strange behavior.21:00
lubot<ctisme> @tsimonq2 [Because it's already delivering LXDE.], noted, will try the 18.1021:15
