=== j is now known as Guest68643 [01:33] Hello how to I close a port on start up === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [03:23] Hello, I'm trying to install ubutntu in "safe graphics" mode. But I always end up in the "try ubuntu desktop". [03:24] I would expect a consonle-like interface [03:32] ( Trying to install in VM ) [04:18] hm.. problem solved by randomness and increasing vm spec [04:19] Nice work DarkTrick !vote ++ [04:19] My guess was changing emulation setting or something in hypervisor [04:26] :) [10:51] Hello. Is there a way to switch from Xubuntu-desktop to xubuntu-core ? Unit193 ? [10:54] "Switch" [11:01] sorinello: it seems like a odd question [11:01] you can just deinstall any application you don't like? [11:04] 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] huh? why wouldn't the core iso not work on virtual machines? that sounds odd? [11:05] but what do you gain by switching back to core? [11:05] much lighter and I don't have to tinker and manually remove a ton of apps [11:05] the main advantage of core is faster download/install, which you've already not had [11:05] how is it much lighter? [11:06] doesn't have all the apps and services than the regular desktop version has [11:06] installed applications don't really affect your system if they not running [11:06] but services could [11:06] in theory [11:06] is it that big of a difference? [11:07] * pmjdebruijn hasn't tried core yet [11:07] it is easier to have them stopped/not present OOB instead of manually removing/stopping them [11:07] core doesn't work on vm's since 3 or 4 versions [11:07] nothing new, at least not for me [11:07] bizarre [11:07] I always try core on a vm when a new version of xubuntu is released [11:08] how does it fail (just curious), on what kind of vm platform? [11:08] tried on both VmWare workstation and VirtualBox [11:08] the installer starts, and when is near finishing, I get an error that there was an error during instalation [11:09] and rebooting does not render a working system [11:09] I talked with Unit193 about it, I remember he said something about the installer being a mess [11:14] now trying to install the mini iso and then install xubuntu-core^ meta package [13:15] I mean, I've tested and installed Core in vbox at least. [13:43] Hi, I'm having trouble installing Xubuntu on a Acer Aspire 9420 (9423WSMi) [13:44] When I have to select the drive in which I want to install the OS nothing appears [13:44] And whatever I click (+ / - or Apply) result in a crash of the setup [13:50] Unit193, when was the last time you tried core inside a VM ? [13:54] Can't remember off the top of my head. [14:36] xubuntu 20.04 does not work on AMD E2-9000 processor with R2 graphics card, 18.04 worked fine [14:38] xu-irc71w: possibly, how does it fail for you? [14:43] the desktop after entering the password moves diagonally to the right down [14:44] hmmmr strange [14:45] xu-irc71w: in august 20.04.1 will be released, presumably with some issues fixes, might be worth trying again then [14:46] ok [14:46] the other thing you could try is http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/focal/daily-live/current/ [14:46] that's na install that's generated every day, including all fixes up until now [14:46] xu-irc71w, try with a newer kernel also: [14:46] !nomodeset [14:46] 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. [15:04] ok [18:05] Hi all, mouse cursor on my login screen is 2x larger than it should be (4k monitor). After logging in it returns to normal. [18:06] 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] 20.04 [18:08] andrzejr, nvidia driver? [18:09] no, amdgpu (opensource) [18:10] and only mouse is big or other elements too? [18:10] Only mouse pointer and only on the login screen. [18:15] maybe try a different cursor theme (only if it's manually installed by you). [19:21] hi i have a problem with my keyboard [19:21] the problem is keypress gets stuck and repeats forever [19:21] and also switch windows by itself [19:21] any help [19:21] ? [19:38] 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] low battery could also cause this [19:40] tomreyn, i have a laptop dell [19:40] with 100% of bateery [19:40] and good wireless connectivity [19:47] professor-mad-do: ah so it's an internal laptop keyboard [19:47] tomreyn, yes sir [19:48] 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] inspecting the system logs may also help. [19:49] tomreyn, which log files should i look for in var?? [19:50] run journalctl -b [19:52] tomreyn, look here [19:52] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Dbb9RXsGSX/ [19:58] professor-mad-do: you have the non default kernel option pci=nomsi set. is this on purpose, why do you need it? [20:00] tomreyn, yes i set that option cause i get pcieport error everytimes my system boot up with that i solved that problem [20:03] 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] BIOS 1.9.1 01/11/2019 is what you have now [20:04] so two versions behind [20:08] tomreyn, yes but i dont think that can cause keyboard problems [20:08] why not? [20:09] 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] your system log also reports hardware errors [20:10] yes and i dont know how to solved those error too [20:14] http://www.mcelog.org/download.html [20:16] actually the rasdaemon package is now the recomended mcelog replacement in ubuntu [20:17] tomreyn, ok so i should install that [20:17] ? [20:19] if you'd like to know more about the MCE, yes [20:20] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/324237/understanding-machine-check-exceptions-mce suggests this *may* be a red herring [20:21] still, those should never occur [20:22] 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] but what mcelog actualy do repair those error? [20:26] what firmware upgrade should i upgrade the intel one? [20:26] 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] i'm suggesting that you install the bios upgrade [20:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception#Possible_causes [20:28] a lot of possible causes, so it's useful to get a better clue about whats wrong [20:31] 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] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Machine-check_exception has some info on it [20:32] 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 [20:33] i won't do this. [20:33] tomreyn, why not [20:33] ?? [20:34] there are limits to how far i'm willing to go in terms of volunteer support [20:35] instead i prefer enabling others in fixing things themselves [20:35] tomreyn, ok but i can pay if that is the problem [20:35] it's not, thanks. [20:36] tomreyn, now i know why when im transfers file to a external hard drives my machine get out of ram and slow [20:37] that could be for those error right [20:37] ? [20:37] could be related, could be not, hard to tell at this point [20:37] tomreyn, look i have 6GB of ram and i3 processor [20:37] i suggest you also check the bios options for whether you can disable the TPM, since it's malfunctioning. [20:38] why when im transfers file to external hard drive the machine get so slow [20:38] i cant even use the mouse pointer [20:38] ? [20:43] 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. [20:47] tomreyn, alright [20:47] thank
