ducasse: according to experience on win10 - my hardware can display 2560x1600 on that display
Xz 2017-01-30 23:46:23
ducasse: so yeah, there should be a way
Xz 2017-01-30 23:46:59
ducasse: should I approach that with modeline?
ducasse 2017-01-30 23:47:46
Xz: that's the only way i know of. but again, i don't know anything about the nvidia driver.
hateball 2017-01-30 23:52:13
Xz: does xrandr show no higher res either?
Xz 2017-01-30 23:53:23
hateball: nope, 1600x1200 is highest randr shows
Xz 2017-01-30 23:53:51
hateball: well, it says 'dp-6 disconnected 2560x1600'
Xz 2017-01-30 23:54:02
hateball: but my external display is now identified as 'dp-1'
Xz 2017-01-30 23:54:27
hateball: but it might b e because I was just trying to add mode
ducasse 2017-01-30 23:56:21
Xz: that sounds reasonable.
hanshenrik 2017-01-30 23:56:42
will 16.04 move to 4.9 now that its LTS?
Xz 2017-01-30 23:56:45
ducasse: except it doesn't do anything
Xz 2017-01-30 23:57:02
ducasse: Error of failed request: BadMatch
ducasse 2017-01-30 23:58:05
hanshenrik: it will get the kernel 17.04 will be released with, but that is months away.
ducasse 2017-01-30 23:58:20
Xz: when you do what, exactly?
Xz 2017-01-30 23:58:33
ducasse: should I run xrandr as root btw?
Xz 2017-01-30 23:58:49
ducasse: when I try to '--addmode'
hanshenrik 2017-01-30 23:59:06
ducasse, interesting, thanks. know which version it's currently running?
ducasse 2017-01-30 23:59:10
Xz: should not need to, can't remember ever doing so.
k1l 2017-01-30 23:59:18
hanshenrik: ducasse 16.04.2 will get the 16.10 backportskernel.
hanshenrik 2017-01-30 23:59:39
which kernel does 16.10 have?
k1l 2017-01-30 23:59:53
hanshenrik: but you need to install one package for that. it will not upgrade to the new kernel automatically. you can stay on the 4.4 kernel fpr the whole time.
k1l 2017-01-31 00:00:05
hanshenrik: 4.8 with patches from 4.9
hanshenrik 2017-01-31 00:00:12
ohk
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:00:45
k1l: eventually, though, it will get the 17.04 kernel too, right?
k1l 2017-01-31 00:01:04
ducasse: some time after, yes. with 16.04.3 then

i have a question with sticky bit, sticky bit is sometimes given someone to delete a file where we don have access
koen_ 2017-01-31 00:04:23
is that true?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 00:05:55
koen_: it's to share a dir among many users
Xz 2017-01-31 00:05:56
ducasse: yeah, keep getting same thing over again
Xz 2017-01-31 00:05:57
ducasse: X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 00:06:01
koen_: like /tmp
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:06:41
Xz: seems sudo is needed after all
koen_ 2017-01-31 00:07:12
EriC^^: great so does that mean only the root users can set this bit?
Xz 2017-01-31 00:07:21
ducasse: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Xz 2017-01-31 00:07:26
ducasse: different error with sudo :)
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 00:07:43
koen_: no i think any user who owns a dir can
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:08:02
Xz: did you do _precisely_ as that link says?
EriC^^ 2017-01-31 00:08:10
koen_: try it out
Xz 2017-01-31 00:11:35

ppf 2017-01-31 00:17:51
is there a way to disable mouse drag?
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:18:07
Xz: did you read the following answer as well?
ppf 2017-01-31 00:18:17
for accessibility reasons i want to avoid a long click being registered as mouse drag
Xz 2017-01-31 00:19:08
ducasse: yes!
cybex_ 2017-01-31 00:20:37
hi, I'm having problems with booting. I booted to livecd, moved my root from sda7 (ext4) to another partition, sda6 (btrfs). After moving, mounted my new root partition (sda6) to /mnt.
cybex_ 2017-01-31 00:20:38
Then ran "grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/@/boot /dev/sda6" where /dev/sda6 is my new btrfs partition - source (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing)
cybex_ 2017-01-31 00:20:38
Reason: ofc to switch to btrfs and remove middle partition. <<< PROBLEM >>> Gnome freezes right before showing login screen, i,e. gnome circle spins, then freezes. logs dont show anything (/var/log), since logs havne't started yet. How can I solve this?
cybex_ 2017-01-31 00:22:55
p.s. when copying over the old grub.cfg (as grub did not detect my current linux installation), I changed the necessary UUID's, the msdos7 -> msdos6 and the vmlinuz and initrd.img locations from /boot/... to /@/boot/... and added rootflags=subvol=@
cybex_ 2017-01-31 00:23:05
where @ is my root subvolume
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:23:12
Xz: ok, i'm out of ideas and don't really have time to go googling this any further. maybe another version of the nvidia driver works better, i know that's often the case.
Xz 2017-01-31 00:23:28
ducasse: yeah, I will research on my own as well
Xz 2017-01-31 00:23:31
ducasse: thanks for your time!
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:23:59
Xz: no problem :) i would try nvidia-367, i think.
Xz 2017-01-31 00:24:13
ducasse: yeah, that's a good idea
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:26:57
Xz: do that, let me know how it works out. i expect you can just install it and it will conflict with the newer so that is removed.
hateball 2017-01-31 00:28:37
ducasse, Xz that is the case yes
Xz 2017-01-31 00:29:10
ducasse: well, I would purge old one and install 367
ducasse 2017-01-31 00:29:44
Xz: shouldn't matter - do it the way you are comfortable with.
