#ubuntu channel featuring deus402, Msk, fishcooker, k1l_, tomreyn, telunus,

k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:45:46
jnewt: does the guest account work?
tomreyn 2017-01-25 11:46:02
hmm, i'm not familiar with iut, but am surprised such would happen on an lts if you only install security patches. maybe you have some 3rd party repositories which are getting in the way?
fishcooker 2017-01-25 11:46:50
on windows i used to use yumi on windows https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/... AFAIK i always failed when using unetbootin from ubuntu...
jnewt 2017-01-25 11:47:11
k1l_: no, bars are missing on guest account too
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:47:44
fishcooker: creating a ubuntu usb? on what OS?
jnewt 2017-01-25 11:47:47
i get the desktop background and a home folder and that's it.
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:48:03
jnewt: sounds like a video driver issue. did you restart after changing the drivers?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:48:30
fishcooker: unetbootin wants to change the boot menue etc and that breaks the ubuntu isos.
jnewt 2017-01-25 11:48:31
k1l_: yeah, that's when the mouse came back and the bars disappeared.
fishcooker 2017-01-25 11:51:09
yes ubuntu live usb on ubuntu... FYi, on windows i used to use YUMI
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:51:43
fishcooker: ubuntu ships the "usb-creator"
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:51:51
on windows i recommend "rufus"
k1l_ 2017-01-25 11:52:21
fishcooker: and since ubuntu isos are hybrid isos you can just dd /cp them onto the bare devicefile
deus402 2017-01-25 11:59:00
tomreyn: i'll look into iperf / packet dump if the static ip doesn't resolve the issue.
tomreyn 2017-01-25 12:00:39
good luck then :)
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:03:48
I have the top bar at the login screen, but it disappears once i log in
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:06:30
Looks like this is the same problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/483358/mate-menu-is-missing/511113#511113 tried the reinstall, no luck. should i trie the purge / install of mate stuff?
fishcooker 2017-01-25 12:07:00
noted for rufus k1l_ and the usb-creator
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:07:17
jnewt: so on a new account /guest account its the same issue?
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:07:31
K1l_: yes
deus402 2017-01-25 12:07:43
tomreyn, thanks, and thanks for the help.
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:07:55
have top bar at login, once i login it's gone, and bottom never appears k1l_
tomreyn 2017-01-25 12:08:22
welcome
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:08:57
jnewt: can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
fishcooker 2017-01-25 12:09:06
and the dd about iso hybrid too, k1l_
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:11:15
jnewt: because i guess that is a driver issue
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:13:20
k1l_: pasted.co/a976e88b
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:13:53
jnewt: is that all?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:14:23
jnewt: you can run "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999"
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:15:43

dorkmafia 2017-01-25 12:16:19
for a cpu with two physical processors is ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server a better fit?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:16:31
dorkmafia: both use the same kernel and base system
dorkmafia 2017-01-25 12:16:41
k
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:18:02
k1l_, does that not seem long enough?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:18:33
jnewt: yes, that is the full log. but i dont see obvious errors there
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:19:44
I do have both monitors working now, and a mouse pointer though, so that's nice.
telunus 2017-01-25 12:20:14
I'm running a custom session with Compiz as my window manager and cairo-dock to launch things, but something else is drawing a wallpaper (which means that cube transparency isn't working with compiz). Any thoughts on what it could be?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:20:16
jnewt: you could try to use the other nvidia driver offered in the system settings and see if that works better
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:20:54
k1l_: i only had two selections in the menu (when i could get to the menu's (one was the X Server noveau and the other was nvidia binary)
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:21:16
jnewt: hmm, ok. what card is it?
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:21:36
k1l_: m2000
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:22:33
ok, that should be supported since 361 driver
Msk 2017-01-25 12:24:04
hi ho
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:24:23
k1l_: i wonder if the resolution could be messed up to the point where the bars are off the screen?
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:24:44
although my mouse won't go off the screen, so maybe not
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:25:15
jnewt: yes, but you could click it there and get the menue then
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:26:04
i def can't get any menus clicking around at the top or bottom
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:26:39
could it be something with other hardware? mobo, proc, etc drivers?
telunus 2017-01-25 12:28:27
Here are my processes in case it helps see what might be painting a wallpaper, but I don't seem to see anything there that should be. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23866391/
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:28:28
well, monitors are 1920x1080, and xrandr | fgrep '*' says 1920x1080
kk4ewt 2017-01-25 12:29:45
jnewt, what DE
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:29:56

kk4ewt 2017-01-25 12:30:06
thats strange
kk4ewt 2017-01-25 12:30:11
fpaste --sysinfo
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:30:39
jnewt: you could try to rename the .config folder from that user and see if it works after relogin
kk4ewt 2017-01-25 12:31:06
k11 or try a new user
jnewt 2017-01-25 12:32:00
kk4ewt: tried guest account, same
kk4ewt 2017-01-25 12:32:18
jnewt, make a new user and try that

Hello, I'm having an issue creating a hotspot on ubuntu 16.10. On the networkmanager widget, it just shows the 'connecting' animation, then connects back to the default access point
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:32:45
i still think this is driver related.
k1l_ 2017-01-25 12:33:42
jnewt: you could add this ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial and install the nvidia 378 for testing
Msk 2017-01-25 12:42:20
