fareastI am running a celeron with an amd radeon hd 6320 i think coming out of vga I am only at 1024x768 does anyone know how to change this? I look under additional drivers and there is nothing01:51
wxllubuntu 18.04?01:52
fareasti have 19.1002:01
fareastI set it up with a unms server and unifi02:02
wxlsurprised you're getting anywhere with a celeron XD02:02
fareastbut the screen res is a little upsetting i can deal with it though02:02
fareasthey it was free wth02:02
wxlso the problem is that a lot of times cards don't behave nice and report all their available modes02:02
wxlyou can add one, though02:02
fareastI think it was one of those windows 8 acers or something02:02
wxlhttps://askubuntu.com/questions/377937/how-to-set-a-custom-resolution02:02
fareastis that like setting the res in the script at boot02:03
wxlyup02:03
fareastI think i tried that once already and it didn't do anything but overscan02:03
wxleven shows you how to do that :)02:03
fareastI think if I hook it up hdmi it will work but I only have a white vizio 720p02:03
fareastno 1080p monitors with hdmi laying around02:03
fareastI could use my pc one but I like having both separate if you get what I am after.02:04
wxlyou might want to follow the instructions and see if you can actually make it happen. i don't know what you did before but i know that will work..... unless the card can't handle it02:04
fareastMaybe I will just strip the vizio down and mount it up and deal with the 720p since this card can't really produce anything 1080 streaming besides02:04
fareastI would like the vga to work02:05
fareastI will take a look and see02:05
fareastit is just much nicer with more screen real estate02:05
fareastwhat exactly is 720p?02:06
fareast1368x768?02:06
wxlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p02:06
fareast1280x720?02:06
fareastI think this other one is 1280x72002:06
fareastI could do that through the hdmi02:06
fareastbut its not a dell if you catch my drift.02:07
wxli don't even understand this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p#Resolutions02:07
fareastvideo resolutions are confusing02:08
fareastespecially when they say 4k02:08
fareastit isn't even 400002:08
wxlwell sounds like you have a handle on it so i'll leave it to you02:09
fareastits all marketing melarky02:09
fareastYeah I will get it its just radeon support you know it lacks in linux02:09
fareastand pc alike02:09
fareastit just says size not found in available modes02:17
fareastmaybe this crap only displays out the mobo 1024x76802:17
wxldid you generate the modeline?02:17
wxlactually are you sure you're using the right device name?02:17
fareastxrandr VGA-0 1920x108002:17
wxldo something like `xrandr | grep conn` to see all the devices02:18
fareastxrandr --addmode VGA-0 1920x1080_60.0002:18
wxlit might not be VGA-002:18
wxldid you do the --newmode before it? if not it doesn't work02:18
wxlyou do basically:02:18
wxlcvt width height refresh02:19
wxluse info from that to do `xrandr --newmode "widthxheight_res" <other stuff from cvt>02:19
wxlxrandr --addmode device widthxheight_res02:19
wxl3 steps02:19
wxlthen you add that to .xprofile to make it permanent02:20
fareastfailed to parse as a mode specification02:20
fareastI don't think the onboard card is capable02:21
fareastlol02:21
wxlthen you did something wrong :)02:21
wxlit should pop up an error that sounds like that if it's the case02:21
fareasti did xrandr --newmode 1368x768_60.0002:21
wxlor will just go wonky02:21
wxlthat's not right02:21
wxlthere's stuff after the refresh02:21
fareastxrandr --newmode VGA-002:21
wxlxrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync02:22
wxlALL of that02:22
fareastbang02:24
fareasti got it per this article02:25
fareasthttps://askubuntu.com/questions/138408/how-to-add-display-resolution-for-an-lcd-in-ubuntu-12-04-xrandr-problem02:25
fareastnow how do I make it permanent02:25
wxlwth02:25
wxlyou shouldn't have to sudo any of that. it's insane.02:25
wxljust add the xrandr commands to ~/.xprofile02:26
fareasti have some editor02:26
fareastgedit02:26
fareastwhat is the command02:26
wxlum. gedit XD02:27
fareastsudo gedit ~/.xprofile02:27
wxlNO02:27
wxlstop sudo'ing everything! yeesh!02:27
fareasti thought it was the monitor.conf02:27
wxlthat WILL cause you problems02:27
wxlDON'T put sudo commands in there, either02:27
fareastI am in 1920x1080 tho02:27
wxldon't use sudo02:28
fareastlol ok02:28
wxlthat's masquerading as the root user, which you are not02:28
wxl~ refers to your home, not the root user's home02:28
wxlyou run x as your user, not as root02:28
wxletc. etc. etc.02:28
wxldo not use sudo. period.02:28
fareastI am used to windows doing everything root02:28
wxlthrow windows away. it's useless.02:29
fareastnot so it makes me money02:29
fareastbusiness world relys on it02:29
wxlok it's good for that02:29
wxlbut there's lots of other things that are equally questionable that people make money off of and that the business world relies upon XD02:29
fareastbut more and more people are going linux until they find out they have to have a sysadmin to print.02:29
fareastI just keep my mouth shut and act like I know nothing.02:30
wxlworks fine for me02:30
fareastyeah I agree. I can get anything that has a microprocessor to work fine for me too.02:30
fareastI know linux is good for what I use it for. And mostly its because certain systems I don't want to have to mess with upgrading so often.02:31
wxlwelll that and usually linux updates don't break the whole system like windows XD02:32
fareasttrue but I can deal with the repercussions02:32
fareastI have learned dos and recovery environment like the back of my hand.02:33
fareastlinux to me though is similar I have found myself pretty comfortable if I am led in the right direction.02:34
fareastit was all something running this cvt02:35
fareastbut it says i have to enter the commands in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf02:35
fareastso i need to edit that file i suppose if it is related to this distro02:35
wxlthat's another potential way02:35
fareastwhat is your suggestion?02:36
wxl~/.xprofile02:36
fareasthow can i access it to change it02:36
wxleditor02:36
fareastI installed gedit02:37
fareastsorry I am an idiot when it comes to running terminal commands02:37
fareastI am learning tho key in a repo do an update and do apt-get right?02:37
wxlyou didn't need that02:37
wxlfeatherpad would have done the trick02:37
wxlbut if you like terminal commands, you can use nano02:38
fareastsudo nano02:38
fareastI mean i need write permissions right?02:38
fareastonly way I know is sudo...02:38
fareastto me its like pushing admin am I correct?02:38
fareastsomehow I managed to install unifi controller and unified network management system from ubiquiti on this thing.02:39
wxlno02:39
wxlnano ~/.xprofile02:39
wxljust do that. nothing else.02:39
fareastsweet02:39
wxlyou only need sudo things for system wide stuff, like installing applications or doing anything outside your home folder02:40
wxl~ is your home02:40
fareastword is bond son.02:40
fareastok so i suppose use these same commands that got me here minus the sudo in this file and commit a save..02:40
wxlyep02:41
wxlheaded home; good luck02:41
fareastcool02:43
fareastbe good02:43
fareastthanks02:44
piercedwaterhello04:39
piercedwaterinstalled lubuntu on spare pc, love it. now just coming to checkout the irc community and contemplate replacing windows with it04:39
guivercHi piercedwater, glad to hear it (love it esp.)   which release?05:02
guivercalso possibly best resource is our web site (https://lubuntu.me/) with links to manual, forum & other great sites.  Lubuntu is an official flavor so you can use #ubuntu too (more users, more support more of the time) & other Ubuntu support sites (askubu etc)05:04
piercedwaterthanks for the link. 18.04 on old pc05:05
guivercno problem with that; my pc is a decade old (2009 model) too; it works05:07
piercedwaterthe machine i was going to replace windows on is much newer, but im looking to get every drop out of it i can :)05:07
guivercpiercedwater, you'll probably already know this, but use the 'try' (live) mode first to test it out on your pc.    (https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#0  applies to Lubuntu & flavors too)05:09
piercedwaterok, will do05:09
* guiverc stepping away ~20-25 mins05:09
piercedwaterthanks for the tips05:09
pog'sup guys. Came here as one of my friend in facebook group suggest me. I have a question about installing lubuntu on Acer AOD270 32 bit. The web says that powerpc support is dropped. Will this trigger serious problem if I install Lubuntu on my netbook? or it is just minor feature that I can just ignore? Thanks in advance10:10
tomreynIntel Atom N2600, hardly powerpc, but 32-bit x86 intel (lacks EM64T)10:56

cevacinevai have a small problem sometimes with lubuntu that i did not have with windows13:52
cevacinevasometimes usually late at night my pc shows a blue line at the top part of the screen, the rest of the screen is black, does not turn off, and beeps sometimes. like medium speed beeps with long intervals between them13:54
cevacinevausually i force turn off my pc13:54
cevacinevashould i try putting my pc into rice?13:56
diogenes_cevacineva, sounds like either memory or GPU issue.14:03
cevacinevadiogenes_ but literally my gpu can handle tf2 and memory works14:04
diogenes_cevacineva, for testing purpose you could disable any kind of screensavers, screenlockers and stuff (if you use them).14:04
cevacinevai don't14:05
cevacinevause screenlockers or screensavers14:05
diogenes_cevacineva, look in power settings, see if it's set to turn off displays after some idle time.14:05
diogenes_or even puts the pc to sleep.14:06
cevacinevapower management?14:06
diogenes_yeah something like that.14:06
cevacinevamy power went off14:13
