| DarkTrick | Hello, I'm trying to install ubutntu in "safe graphics" mode. But I always end up in the "try ubuntu desktop". | 03:23 |
| DarkTrick | I would expect a consonle-like interface | 03:24 |
| DarkTrick | ( Trying to install in VM ) | 03:32 |
| DarkTrick | hm.. problem solved by randomness and increasing vm spec | 04:18 |
| doubledutch | Nice work DarkTrick !vote ++ | 04:19 |
| doubledutch | My guess was changing emulation setting or something in hypervisor | 04:19 |
| DarkTrick | :) | 04:26 |
| sorinello | Hello. Is there a way to switch from Xubuntu-desktop to xubuntu-core ? Unit193 ? | 10:51 |
| pmjdebruijn | "Switch" | 10:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | sorinello: it seems like a odd question | 11:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | you can just deinstall any application you don't like? | 11:01 |
| sorinello | well the xubuntu-core iso doesn't work on virtual machines, so I need to install the desktop version and then switch to xubuntu core | 11:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | huh? why wouldn't the core iso not work on virtual machines? that sounds odd? | 11:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | but what do you gain by switching back to core? | 11:05 |
| sorinello | much lighter and I don't have to tinker and manually remove a ton of apps | 11:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | the main advantage of core is faster download/install, which you've already not had | 11:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | how is it much lighter? | 11:05 |
| sorinello | doesn't have all the apps and services than the regular desktop version has | 11:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | installed applications don't really affect your system if they not running | 11:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | but services could | 11:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | in theory | 11:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | is it that big of a difference? | 11:06 |
| * pmjdebruijn hasn't tried core yet | 11:07 | |
| sorinello | it is easier to have them stopped/not present OOB instead of manually removing/stopping them | 11:07 |
| sorinello | core doesn't work on vm's since 3 or 4 versions | 11:07 |
| sorinello | nothing new, at least not for me | 11:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | bizarre | 11:07 |
| sorinello | I always try core on a vm when a new version of xubuntu is released | 11:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | how does it fail (just curious), on what kind of vm platform? | 11:08 |
| sorinello | tried on both VmWare workstation and VirtualBox | 11:08 |
| sorinello | the installer starts, and when is near finishing, I get an error that there was an error during instalation | 11:08 |
| sorinello | and rebooting does not render a working system | 11:09 |
| sorinello | I talked with Unit193 about it, I remember he said something about the installer being a mess | 11:09 |
| sorinello | now trying to install the mini iso and then install xubuntu-core^ meta package | 11:14 |
| Unit193 | I mean, I've tested and installed Core in vbox at least. | 13:15 |
| Mart1 | Hi, I'm having trouble installing Xubuntu on a Acer Aspire 9420 (9423WSMi) | 13:43 |
| Mart1 | When I have to select the drive in which I want to install the OS nothing appears | 13:44 |
| Mart1 | And whatever I click (+ / - or Apply) result in a crash of the setup | 13:44 |
| sorinello | Unit193, when was the last time you tried core inside a VM ? | 13:50 |
| Unit193 | Can't remember off the top of my head. | 13:54 |
| xu-irc71w | xubuntu 20.04 does not work on AMD E2-9000 processor with R2 graphics card, 18.04 worked fine | 14:36 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-irc71w: possibly, how does it fail for you? | 14:38 |
| xu-irc71w | the desktop after entering the password moves diagonally to the right down | 14:43 |
| pmjdebruijn | hmmmr strange | 14:44 |
| pmjdebruijn | xu-irc71w: in august 20.04.1 will be released, presumably with some issues fixes, might be worth trying again then | 14:45 |
| xu-irc71w | ok | 14:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | the other thing you could try is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/focal/daily-live/current/ | 14:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | that's na install that's generated every day, including all fixes up until now | 14:46 |
| diogenes_ | xu-irc71w, try with a newer kernel also: | 14:46 |
| diogenes_ | !nomodeset | 14:46 |
| ubottu | Systems with certain graphics chipsets may not boot properly out of the box. "Temporarily Add a Kernel Boot Parameter for Testing" as discussed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters to add the "nomodeset" parameter there. | 14:46 |
| xu-irc71w | ok | 15:04 |
| andrzejr | Hi all, mouse cursor on my login screen is 2x larger than it should be (4k monitor). After logging in it returns to normal. | 18:05 |
| andrzejr | This is not a hidpi screen so I'd like to the cursor size on the login screen not to be magnified. Any solutions? | 18:06 |
| andrzejr | 20.04 | 18:06 |
| diogenes_ | andrzejr, nvidia driver? | 18:08 |
| andrzejr | no, amdgpu (opensource) | 18:09 |
| diogenes_ | and only mouse is big or other elements too? | 18:10 |
| andrzejr | Only mouse pointer and only on the login screen. | 18:10 |
| diogenes_ | maybe try a different cursor theme (only if it's manually installed by you). | 18:15 |
| professor-mad-do | hi i have a problem with my keyboard | 19:21 |
| professor-mad-do | the problem is keypress gets stuck and repeats forever | 19:21 |
| professor-mad-do | and also switch windows by itself | 19:21 |
| professor-mad-do | any help | 19:21 |
| professor-mad-do | ? | 19:21 |
| tomreyn | professor-mad-do: in my experience, most of the time this is a result of a broken keyboard wires or bad wireless connectivity | 19:38 |
| tomreyn | low battery could also cause this | 19:38 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, i have a laptop dell | 19:40 |
| professor-mad-do | with 100% of bateery | 19:40 |
| professor-mad-do | and good wireless connectivity | 19:40 |
| tomreyn | professor-mad-do: ah so it's an internal laptop keyboard | 19:47 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, yes sir | 19:47 |
| tomreyn | hmm, then i have no good suggestions other than looking for an EC firmware upgrade (in addition to the BIOS upgrades you already looked for). | 19:48 |
| tomreyn | inspecting the system logs may also help. | 19:48 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, which log files should i look for in var?? | 19:49 |
| tomreyn | run journalctl -b | 19:50 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, look here | 19:52 |
| professor-mad-do | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Dbb9RXsGSX/ | 19:52 |
| tomreyn | professor-mad-do: you have the non default kernel option pci=nomsi set. is this on purpose, why do you need it? | 19:58 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, yes i set that option cause i get pcieport error everytimes my system boot up with that i solved that problem | 20:00 |
| tomreyn | professor-mad-do: you don't actually have the latest bios https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=5jyth&oscode=wt64a&productcode=inspiron-15-5566-laptop | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | BIOS 1.9.1 01/11/2019 is what you have now | 20:03 |
| tomreyn | so two versions behind | 20:04 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, yes but i dont think that can cause keyboard problems | 20:08 |
| tomreyn | why not? | 20:08 |
| tomreyn | quoting the page above: "This package contains the Dell system BIOS update. BIOS is a firmware that is embedded on a small memory chip on the system board. It controls the keyboard, monitor, disk drives, and other devices." | 20:09 |
| tomreyn | your system log also reports hardware errors | 20:09 |
| professor-mad-do | yes and i dont know how to solved those error too | 20:10 |
| tomreyn | http://www.mcelog.org/download.html | 20:14 |
| tomreyn | actually the rasdaemon package is now the recomended mcelog replacement in ubuntu | 20:16 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, ok so i should install that | 20:17 |
| professor-mad-do | ? | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | if you'd like to know more about the MCE, yes | 20:19 |
| tomreyn | https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/324237/understanding-machine-check-exceptions-mce suggests this *may* be a red herring | 20:20 |
| tomreyn | still, those should never occur | 20:21 |
| tomreyn | i'd do the firmware upgrade forst of all, though, and see whether this fixes anything, also booting without the pci=nomsi option at least to check whether this is still needed then | 20:22 |
| professor-mad-do | but what mcelog actualy do repair those error? | 20:22 |
| professor-mad-do | what firmware upgrade should i upgrade the intel one? | 20:26 |
| tomreyn | no, mcelog used to and rasdaemon does just help you interpret these error messages, so that you can get a better understanding of which hardware is faulty | 20:26 |
| tomreyn | i'm suggesting that you install the bios upgrade | 20:26 |
| tomreyn | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception#Possible_causes | 20:27 |
| tomreyn | a lot of possible causes, so it's useful to get a better clue about whats wrong | 20:28 |
| tomreyn | after installing rasdaemon you'd reboot - which would probably trigger the mce again - and then review the system journal again, which should then have more detailed information on the MCE courtesy of rasdaemon | 20:31 |
| tomreyn | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Machine-check_exception has some info on it | 20:31 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, do you think you can fix it if we do remote access to my machine cause to tell the true i not a expert in linux | 20:32 |
| tomreyn | i won't do this. | 20:33 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, why not | 20:33 |
| professor-mad-do | ?? | 20:33 |
| tomreyn | there are limits to how far i'm willing to go in terms of volunteer support | 20:34 |
| tomreyn | instead i prefer enabling others in fixing things themselves | 20:35 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, ok but i can pay if that is the problem | 20:35 |
| tomreyn | it's not, thanks. | 20:35 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, now i know why when im transfers file to a external hard drives my machine get out of ram and slow | 20:36 |
| professor-mad-do | that could be for those error right | 20:37 |
| professor-mad-do | ? | 20:37 |
| tomreyn | could be related, could be not, hard to tell at this point | 20:37 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, look i have 6GB of ram and i3 processor | 20:37 |
| tomreyn | i suggest you also check the bios options for whether you can disable the TPM, since it's malfunctioning. | 20:37 |
| professor-mad-do | why when im transfers file to external hard drive the machine get so slow | 20:38 |
| professor-mad-do | i cant even use the mouse pointer | 20:38 |
| professor-mad-do | ? | 20:38 |
| tomreyn | i made some suggestions what to try, i suggest you give those a try and come back if problems persist. if you need more information on how to do something, please ask about it. | 20:43 |
| professor-mad-do | tomreyn, alright | 20:47 |
| professor-mad-do | thank | 20:47 |
