I just did a fresh install of xenial, and installed openVPN, but when I go to set up new VPN connection in the network manager applet it doesn't show OpenVPN as an option -- just PTPP. Any idea why?
dle 2017-01-30 08:53:01
Installing now. Looks at partitions in gparted. Why is the ext4 partition labeled /target ?
dle 2017-01-30 08:53:08

nicomachus, maybe this page is any help http://askubuntu.com/questions/760664/ubuntu-16-04-openvpn >> network-manager-openvpn-gnome is missing ?
cerion 2017-01-30 08:55:03
nicomachus: you need to restart network manager too i think and the applet.
nicomachus 2017-01-30 08:55:21
cerion: I rebooted the whole machine.
nicomachus 2017-01-30 08:56:39
oh....
nicomachus 2017-01-30 08:56:49
I installed openvpn, not network-manager-openvpn..... oops.

I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed... If I want to use KDE desktop, do I need to install Kubuntu?
Dave114 2017-01-30 09:02:34
having problems getting ubuntu 16 lts to boot on my mac mini. Had to add nomodeset to grub to get it to boot ... but swapping that in place of "quiet splash" doesn't seem to work
ppf 2017-01-30 09:03:23
bigLanky no, you can just install kde
Dave114 2017-01-30 09:03:47
I *can* boot into recovery mode successfully ... and if I hit the resume boot option *twice* (i.e. first time it boots for a bit longer but then brings me back to same screen) I get a seemingly functional GUI... but with graphics sucking up most of my CPU
Dave114 2017-01-30 09:04:13
with nomodeset on the boot it hangs at "loading initial ramdisk ..."

does KDE support more than 2 monitors?
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:07:33
im reading Unity does not play nice with more than 2, and I have ont been able to get my 3rd working
Ben64 2017-01-30 09:08:11
what DE you use doesn't matter
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:08:47
Ben64, is there some trick to get it to work?
Ben64 2017-01-30 09:09:00
depends on video card and monitors and stuff
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:09:15
i have 2 of the same vid cards... when using 2 monitors, any combination works just fine.. when I add the 3rd monitor things break down and im lucky to get 1 screen that is functional
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:09:27
2 monitors are the same and 1 monitor is different
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:09:37
but when running 2, the monitors all work in any combo
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:10:15
have tried with NVIDIA X Server settings and couldn't get it to work
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:10:25
Ben64 : do you have any experience doing this?
Ben64 2017-01-30 09:11:16
not two cards

bigLanky, have only ever used 2 myself but xrandr may help to see what outputs it shows as connected

pos, i don't see them here http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/cve/pkg/ALL-linux.html

bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:19:31
ppf when I hook it up, nothing displays... NVIDIA X Config sees all 3 monitors, when I try to open System -> Dispay I get CRT error
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:19:38
1 sec let me reboot so I can put the vid card back in
ppf 2017-01-30 09:23:15
what's a crt error
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:24:39
ok, so here is my setup now... I have both cards in... monitor #1 and #2 (same model) are hooked to video card 1, working just fine
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:25:38
monitor #3 hooked to vid card #2, no signal to monitor
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:25:50
Settings -> Displays shows #1 and #2, but not #3

did you try other monitors, other cables on the second card
ioria 2017-01-30 09:33:16
bigLanky, i think you already tried with nouveau ?
bigLanky 2017-01-30 09:33:52
it shows with NVIDIA settings - https://s24.postimg.org/drgn60z6t/Screenshot_from_2017_01_30_13_33_24.png

Something .. odd happened. I started ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 64-bit. It started to come up. Some a message blew across the display, the display started to flicker, and it looked like Unity failed somewhere.
MarkB2 2017-01-30 09:37:28
Rebooted... and it's complaining about nouveau "missing".
MarkB2 2017-01-30 09:39:06
At the moment, I'm running from the onboard video adapter, an Intel 915 device. That seems to be working .. except X seems confused.
ioria 2017-01-30 09:39:33
