#ubuntu channel featuring CodeMouse92__, Bashing-om, arooni, Joral, goto-, pauljw, and 9 others.

goto- 2017-01-28 14:45:31
ok, it just started working
Joral 2017-01-28 14:45:34
Bashing-om, I installed 14.04 specifically because this channel told me that it was the only way to still install fglrx
goto- 2017-01-28 14:45:42
I don't no why, but it works
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 14:46:52
korA fact .. but ya running 4.4.0-59-generic as the kernel .. and that is the rub in that the supporting Xserver will not complile . Ya got to have the 3.13 kernel .
Joral 2017-01-28 14:47:47
Bashing-om, so how do I tell apt to use that version of the kernel?
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 14:49:01
Joral well , one can either fresh install 14.04.1 or downgrade to the trusty kernel . not to tough to downgrade .
Joral 2017-01-28 14:49:30
Bashing-om, no I mean how do i force apt to NEVER upgrade from that kernel?
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 14:51:02
Joral: Once we have the trusty kernel installed it will remain updating only thge 3.13 series unless ine delineratly enables HWE .
Joral 2017-01-28 14:52:41
Bashing-om, two questions then, 1) how do I downgrade? and 2) why do I not have the trusty kernel installed when I am running trusty right now?
Guest93134 2017-01-28 14:52:48
I need help i can't get into my computer
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 14:53:55
Joral: Right now you are running the xenial kernel - see ' uname -r ' . we want the trusty kernel .
Joral 2017-01-28 14:54:32
Bashing-om, I understand that, what I'm questioning is how did trusty install the xenial kernel?
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 14:54:33

Guest93134: When was the last time you ran an update?
glache1 2017-01-28 15:00:24

Guest93134: Do you happen to know what updated before that happened?
Joral 2017-01-28 15:01:58
Bashing-om, should I reboot into 3.13 before installing fglrx?
Guest93134 2017-01-28 15:02:03
No
CodeMouse92__ 2017-01-28 15:02:44
Guest93134: Okay, I want to see what it was, so let's pull up the apt log....
CodeMouse92__ 2017-01-28 15:02:57
Guest93134: In a terminal, run 'less /var/log/apt/history.log'
CodeMouse92__ 2017-01-28 15:03:33

Joral 2017-01-28 15:04:49
reboot seems like the smart choice so i'm off to see if this helps. thanks Bashing-om
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:05:21
Joral: Yeah ,, I would that would boot the 3.3 kernl and install from repo for FGLRX, be the safer thing to do .
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:05:42

How can I join the Java channel. I tried '/join ##Java' but I can't join. I also can't click to join from the GUI list. It's been a while since I used IRC. 10+ years to be more precise.
Guest93134 2017-01-28 15:07:10
16.04.1
CodeMouse92__ 2017-01-28 15:08:12
Guest93134: Okay, so you *are* on Ubuntu 16.04.1? Good to know. Still need the apt history from the last update (see prior instructions)
pauljw 2017-01-28 15:09:49
glache, try /j ##java
glache 2017-01-28 15:10:11

pauljw 2017-01-28 15:10:35

glache 2017-01-28 15:11:03

bazhang 2017-01-28 15:11:23
glache, ask in #freenode for more
glache 2017-01-28 15:11:32
No error or anything
glache 2017-01-28 15:12:03
I was able to join #freenode
Joral 2017-01-28 15:15:35
Bashing-om, just logged back in to say that you are a genius. it worked like a charm right out of the box.
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:17:41
Joral: K now you wnt to remove all the HWE pckages as you will not be using them .
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:17:58
want*
Joral 2017-01-28 15:18:02
Bashing-om, how should I go about doing that?
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:18:58
Joral: pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep linix- ' and I craft it up for ya .
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:19:21
typo *
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:20:05
Joral: ' dpkg -l | grep linux- '
Joral 2017-01-28 15:22:31
Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23884448/
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:23:15
Joral: K. be a bit working.
Joral 2017-01-28 15:23:53
Bashing-om, k, I appreciate you taking the time
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:26:18
Joral: Ouch .. this can be dicy -- there will be no back up kernel . not too sure how this will work out . there is no rush here - how bout we wait till there is a kernel update // OR install a aditional older trusty kernel for a fall back ??
Joral 2017-01-28 15:27:30
Bashing-om, doesn't matter to me at all, why don't we just keep the 4.4 as the second kernel for now. can you tell me how to make grub find the 3.13 kernel first?
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:28:04
!grub | Joral
ubottu 2017-01-28 15:28:05
Joral: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
Joral 2017-01-28 15:28:43
Bashing-om, ok, thanks
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:30:32
Joral: ^ make an edit to /etc/default/grub ... counting the menu entries in the file /boot/grub/grub/cfg . - the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 is the target ,
Bashing-om 2017-01-28 15:32:54
jonathaN: Mind you - that number is subject to change if and when the 4.4 kernel is updated . until such time as we remove them .

Hi, I have an Ubuntu installation on a LVM, but when I try to resize it from a livecd, I can't mount it writeable, only read-only.
