| mutantspew | Hi, I'm running a radeon rx 580 card hdmi to my monitor, when I run the live usb, at 1920x1080 I can't see the full screen. if I go the next size lower I can see everything, is this a driver problem? | 03:06 |
|---|---|---|
| guiverc | mutantspew, is it a computer monitor, or tv? | 03:27 |
| mutantspew | monitor, samsung syncmaster b2430 | 03:28 |
| lubot | <lynorian> what sresoultoin is the monitor | 03:28 |
| mutantspew | 1080p | 03:28 |
| wxl | ok throw it out and get a hidpi one instead | 03:28 |
| wxl | j/k XD | 03:28 |
| mutantspew | haha | 03:28 |
| guiverc | mutantspew, sorry I can't help, except suggest you unplug, check connectors are clean & reconnect cables. | 03:30 |
| mutantspew | okay | 03:31 |
| guiverc | mutantspew, just b/c I can't help, doesn't mean others may not be able to. You could also try #ubuntu if you don't get more help here. looking online drivers are mentioned; if you `sudo lshw -C video` what driver is used (the driver= bit) | 03:33 |
| mutantspew | I'm not sure, I was using the live usb so whatever is packaged. I'd have to reboot to check | 03:34 |
| mutantspew | It happened with lxde and lxqt if that helps at all. | 03:35 |
| guiverc | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMDGPU-Driver mentions RX580; with a *2 for that card wiht an issue; the page is a little out of date (pre-18.04) | 03:37 |
| guiverc | sorry issue was rx550.. i'm not good enough with video cards sorry mutantspew | 03:37 |
| mutantspew | that's okay. thanks tho | 03:38 |
| guiverc | for video issues; I'd use #ubuntu (lubuntu is official flavor so on-topic there); if you don't have anyone around here with ideas (which isn't me sorry) | 03:40 |
| mutantspew | okay thanks! | 03:41 |
| lubot | synergetic_shuvadip was added by: synergetic_shuvadip | 14:04 |
| Mead | sooo... I updated my lubuntu 18.04 system and suddenly kodi quit started just closing (crashing?) when attempt to play a video file. | 14:28 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> which video card? | 14:36 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> probabily you also changed your kernel, so it could be HW related issues | 14:37 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> try to look al kodi logs | 14:37 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> dmesg could also be helpfull | 14:38 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> run kodi from commandline nad see what appears | 14:38 |
| lubot | <synergetic_shuvadip> Hello, I'm new here.. … I'm confused about the thing that how a bot is asking questions??? | 14:51 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> There is a bot that bridge between irc and telegram | 14:55 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> The bot bridges the IRC channel to the Telegram channel. | 14:55 |
| lubot | <kc2bez> I owe you a coke @HMollerCl ;) | 14:56 |
| lubot | <synergetic_shuvadip> Okay,,, will do some searching on how it does so. … Thanks for pointing😌 | 14:57 |
| Mead | HMollerCl : I also asked in #ubuntu and someone pointed out this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kodi/+bug/1836828 with which on the surface looks identical. | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1836828 in kodi (Ubuntu) "Kodi crashes when trying to play any video" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:06 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @kc2bez [I owe you a coke @HMollerCl ;)], one day, and we could play civ 5 too. | 15:13 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Mead: HW issue apparently, He has a Radeon, you? | 15:13 |
| Mead | Yes, I've got an APU | 15:18 |
| Mead | I don't think it is bad hardware... it worked fine until until I used APT to update, upgrade, and autoremove this morning. | 15:21 |
| apt-ghetto | Hardware can fail also in the morning | 15:23 |
| apt-ghetto | Check your log files, maybe there are some hints | 15:24 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Mean: I mean a "driver" problem. | 15:28 |
| Mead | yes | 15:28 |
| Mead | I'm not enough of a expert in linux to understand what all got updated but it seemed like a silly amount of things that apt updated, and I don't have much software installed. | 15:38 |
| tomreyn | there's a log at /var/log/apt/history.log | 16:07 |
| tomreyn | the log to check for errors can be viewed using journalctl -b (shows anything logged since the latest boot, press q to quit) | 16:08 |
| tomreyn | Mead: ^ | 16:08 |
| Mead | tomreyn: I have no clue what to look for in the log nor how to interpret it. | 16:22 |
| apt-ghetto | `journalctl -b -p err` shows only the errors | 16:23 |
| apt-ghetto | If you need help, use pastebinit to share the logs | 16:24 |
| tomreyn | ^ | 16:24 |
| apt-ghetto | And please ask specific questions, if something is unclear | 16:25 |
| Mead | alright, I've rebooted since Kodi crashed on me, let me replicate the crash and I will pastebinit | 16:26 |
| apt-ghetto | With `journalctl -b -1 -p err` you can show the logged errors from the previous boot | 16:31 |
| Mead | yeah, there isn't anything being logged when kodi closes/crashes | 16:33 |
| apt-ghetto | Read also https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file and https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced | 16:36 |
| Mead | thanks for the help, I'll have to pick this up later, life calls and won't be happy if I send it to voice mail. | 16:39 |
| apt-ghetto | No problem | 16:40 |
| ajacmac | So today my lubuntu started only occupying part of the screen. I'm not really sure how to explain. It looks as though the image isn't centered on my monitor, but the offset doesn't apply to the taskbar. | 19:05 |
| ajacmac | there's a black bar about the thickness of the taskbar at the top of the screen and another one much thinner on the right, and if I drag windows into those bars the part in that section of the screen disappears. | 19:07 |

| Guest_58 | I'm having problems putting my live USB | 20:56 |
| Guest_58 | Booting | 20:56 |
| wxl | did you verify the hashes of the ISO? | 20:57 |
| Guest_58 | Yes I check the media to it says there are no error I push f12 to boot to the USB it boot find then goes to the logo wifi turns on then it goes to a black screen with a flash underline but wifi still on hd showing its working it looks like it stalls or gets stuck | 21:00 |
| wxl | try booting with the nomodeset option | 21:00 |
| wxl | !nomodeset | 21:01 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:01 |
| Guest_58 | Ok am new to this what do I do with this info | 21:02 |
| wxl | click the link and follow the instructions. long story short is some graphic cards are problematic | 21:03 |
| Guest_58 | Okay forgot to mention that am getting a gfxboot.32 : not COM32R image boot: I been looking at videos they tell me to type help and push enter or just type live : do I need to type live with something else so it will boot properly | 21:09 |
| Guest_58 | Because I get a logo with Lubuntu they Wifi Comes on and it just a black wight lite screen | 21:10 |
| Guest_58 | getting a gfxboot.32 : not COM32R image boot: I been looking at videos they tell me to type help and push enter or just type live : do I need to type live with something else so it will boot properly | 21:14 |
| kc2bez | Guest_58: can you give us some more information about your system and which version of Lubuntu you are trying? | 21:16 |
| Guest_58 | Lubuntu 18.04 LTS and I made it on an older version of Lubuntu trying to create a LIVE USB Installer I ran a check on it it does not put out errors so I have no idea what's going on the first time a did this I type help and it booted up all the way after formatting the hard drive not the USB I created it boot up did the help thing pushed enter and | 21:24 |
| Guest_58 | it showed the logo then wifi button comes on hard drive blanking but only black screen I have an Dell latitude | 21:24 |
| wxl | why not use 19.04? | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: how did you create the installer usb? | 21:28 |
| Guest_58 | Cant do it I don't have another computer to load a different iso file on guyes is there a command I could run to get into the installion they said something about the graphics card but it work the first time | 21:28 |
| Guest_58 | Created a different version of lubuntu | 21:29 |
| Guest_58 | With live USB creator | 21:29 |
| Guest_58 | Software | 21:29 |
| wxl | wait a minute | 21:29 |
| wxl | what are you actually trying to accomplish here? | 21:29 |
| Guest_58 | Am trying to install Linux Lubuntu | 21:30 |
| Guest_58 | Lol | 21:30 |
| wxl | what is this about wanting to "get into the installation?" | 21:30 |
| Guest_58 | gfxboot.32: not a com32r image Booted Up First Time push Tab : live,live-install check memtest hd mainmenu help already did the check no errors in Live USB | 21:32 |
| wxl | is that an answer to my question? because it doesn't seem like it is. | 21:32 |
| genii | If you are geting a black screen what you are probably looking for is how to add kernel load paramer like nomodeset | 21:33 |
| genii | !nomodeset | 21:33 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:33 |
| wxl | are you trying to say that you're trying to get in to do an install? because you make it sound like you already have an installation and you're trying to access it through the live cd | 21:33 |
| wxl | this is further true given the mention of 16.04 | 21:33 |
| tomreyn | on a side note, the boot loader error (or warning?) message is probably caused by this bug in an outdated version of usb-creator: 1325801 | 21:35 |
| Guest_58 | Could not find kernel image: !nomodeset | 21:35 |
| * wxl sighs | 21:35 | |
| genii | That error message sounds like you are at the GRUB command line | 21:35 |
| wxl | did you read the linked page? | 21:35 |
| Guest_58 | Not on the grub page when I boot to the hard drive I have Grub Rescue but I can't seem to boot throw the live install with that | 21:36 |
| wxl | why are you booting to the hard drive? | 21:36 |
| wxl | https://askubuntu.com/questions/431534/how-to-set-nomodeset-grub2-before-ive-installed-ubuntu | 21:37 |
| Guest_58 | Am not just telling you am not in a grub command am on the live USB Installer when I type f12 | 21:37 |
| wxl | you just said "when i boot to the hard drive" and then you said you're not | 21:38 |
| wxl | unless you can clearly state the problem, i'm not sure i can help | 21:38 |
| Guest_58 | Am not in the hard drive listen please am on the live USB creator that I have created on the older version of ubuntu | 21:39 |
| wxl | so you're still trying to create the usb? | 21:40 |
| Guest_58 | Sorry | 21:40 |
| wxl | let's try this: what's your native language? | 21:40 |
| Guest_58 | Am booted to the Live USB that I created Sorry I speak the English | 21:41 |
| wxl | what's your NATIVE language? | 21:42 |
| wxl | or better yet, which language do you read and write the best? | 21:42 |
| Guest_58 | I was born in Illinois I speak English | 21:42 |
| Guest_58 | LMAO am I being punk or something | 21:42 |
| wxl | heh ok nevermind that thought then sorry jeez | 21:42 |
| Guest_58 | I need some | 21:43 |
| wxl | so boot the live USB to the screen that says "lubuntu" where the "check disc for defects" option is | 21:43 |
| Guest_58 | I don't get a splash screen on my system when I boot into the USB it gives me the vein 2010 Z71 for EDD copyright 99 for 2010 Peter Gavin missing parmenter in confrontation files keyboard path gfx boot c32 not a com32r image | 21:45 |
| Guest_58 | Sorry voice on my phone is not working | 21:45 |
| wxl | then maybe type instead? XD | 21:46 |
| wxl | so you CAN'T get to the screen that says "check disc for defects?" | 21:46 |
| Guest_58 | No when I push f12 I get a message on my screen saying SYSLINUX 4.01 debain-20100714 EDD Copyright 1992-2010 H. Peter Anvin et Al Missing Parameter in Configurations file. keyword: path gfx boot.32: not a com32r image I type TAB : and a list of commands come on my screen saying : Live , Live-Install , Check, Memtest, hd, mainmenu, help I type Live | 21:52 |
| Guest_58 | and it boot on the splash screen logo of Lubuntu & load loads loads loads wifi blue button comes on and hard drive works just getting a black screen with a wight line blanking on top of screen | 21:52 |
| wxl | that list of commands sound like the boot screen | 21:53 |

| wxl | ah ha | 21:55 |
| wxl | that's the bug tomreyn keeps pointing at | 21:55 |
| tomreyn | :) | 21:55 |
| wxl | long story short: you don't have a good setup on that live usb | 21:56 |
| Guest_58 | tomreyn what do I do mate | 21:56 |
| wxl | you remake the live usb again | 21:56 |
| wxl | using an upgraded version of usb-creator or some other tool that doesn't suffer the same fate | 21:57 |
| kc2bez | ^ It's the only option. | 21:58 |
| wxl | correct | 21:58 |
| Guest_58 | I know it only opition but the first time I used to USB Live Installer I got on to the installion part I don't know why it's not boot up again like the first time I used it | 21:59 |
| Guest_58 | Does not make sense | 21:59 |
| wxl | on the same computer? | 22:00 |
| wxl | and using the exact same version of the application to install it using the exact same version of lubuntu? | 22:01 |
| Guest_58 | Yes | 22:01 |
| kc2bez | You could try typing live | 22:01 |
| kc2bez | I'd be surprised if it worked. | 22:01 |
| wxl | then, no, that doesn't make sense........ UNLESS that there is actually some error in the download of the ISO or the copy of to the USB. a single bit of difference can lead to unexpected results | 22:02 |
| wxl | kc2bez: that will work but afaik there's no way to change graphics options | 22:02 |
| wxl | s/graphics/kernel/ | 22:03 |
| kc2bez | Oh right, forgot about that tidbit. | 22:03 |
| Guest_58 | With Tomreyn said Can I type live with something else for the kernel | 22:03 |
| Guest_58 | Like a different command | 22:03 |
| tomreyn | what would you like to type? | 22:04 |
| tomreyn | which different command? | 22:04 |
| Guest_58 | Something that will let it boot | 22:05 |
| Guest_58 | IDK | 22:05 |
| Guest_58 | Like I said before there nothing wrong with it it worked the first time 😂 | 22:05 |
| Guest_58 | Going crazy | 22:05 |
| tomreyn | so just typing "live" without the quotation marks and pressing enter does not make it boot? | 22:05 |
| Guest_58 | Yep I did when the black screen comes on and the light blanks do I wait for it to go to the desktop of the live install it's taken forever does not take this long tomreyn | 22:07 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: ah so you're saying if you type "live" and press enter then it boots, but boots to a black screen and is stuck there | 22:08 |
| tomreyn | correct? | 22:08 |
| wxl | they need nomodeset | 22:09 |
| genii | Can't remember what F key, maybe F6 | 22:10 |
| Guest_58 | https://ibb.co/LhMFCx0 | 22:10 |
| tomreyn | yes probably | 22:10 |
| Guest_58 | Yes | 22:10 |

| LP | Hello, I am relatively new to linux. I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade from Lubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, or if I have to download and install fresh. When I tried to click the upgrade button from the system update dialogue, it directed me to download Ubuntu 18.04, but I would rather stick with Lubuntu because my computer system is rather old. | 22:10 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: yes thats what a black screen looks like | 22:10 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: do you have any way to re-create this installer usb stick at this time? any other operating system | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | ... on this computer or on another computer with usb connector? | 22:11 |
| Guest_58 | No I do not tomreyn I don't have any other computer 😖 | 22:11 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: do you have an android phone which is rooted? | 22:12 |
| genii | LP: When it says Ubuntu it really actually means whatever flavour of Ubuntu you are on ( like Lubuntu, Xubuntu and so on ) | 22:12 |
| LP | Okay, thank-you! | 22:12 |
| Guest_58 | LMAO I been trying everything no I do not I typed useing droiddrive or what ever it called to | 22:12 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: do you have a vacuum cleaner? | 22:13 |
| Guest_58 | Mom took it back to Walmart LMAO | 22:13 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: ok, that was a bit off-topic, just noticed your room could use one. | 22:13 |
| wxl | aw snap | 22:13 |
| Guest_58 | Depressed Now Thanks Sorry about that mate | 22:14 |
| tomreyn | Guest_58: reboot, then at the boot prompt type this: live nomodeset | 22:14 |
| Guest_58 | If it works I will love you forever | 22:15 |
| tomreyn | i'm not terribly convinced it will, but we can try. | 22:15 |
| Guest_58 | Just typed it in | 22:16 |
| Guest_58 | Something happing or dear | 22:17 |
| tomreyn | something black or colorful? | 22:18 |
| Guest_58 | https://ibb.co/wWp3Xmp | 22:20 |
| Guest_58 | It was color full alright dear lord | 22:20 |
| tomreyn | something in between i'd say | 22:20 |
| wxl | looks like we're back to the original solution: go remake the usb | 22:20 |
| wxl | first, though, clean your room XD | 22:21 |
| tomreyn | i assume the laptop just went full speed against the wall | 22:22 |
| tomreyn | or the mobile phone, or both. | 22:23 |
| tomreyn | poor guy. | 22:23 |
| * wxl shrugs | 22:24 | |
| * genii dumps his cigarette butts out before tomreyn sees | 22:33 | |
| * tomreyn sprays genii with fire extinguisher | 22:35 | |
| genii | Yeah, I probably deserve it | 22:36 |
| tomreyn | that's just for your own safety! | 22:42 |
