oh wait this is weird
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:45:28
The following packages have been kept back:
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:45:28
snapd ubuntu-core-launcher
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:45:31
hmm
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:45:59
jstarcher: sudo apt full-upgrade
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:46:14
k1l_: that will put me on 16.10 though right?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:46:18
jstarcher: no
brianhunter 2017-01-25 04:46:21
alkisg: It's an nvidia card. I've tried both open source and propriety. Doesn't happen all the time, and tends to happen when I have a video playing on one monitor, and I am doing something else on the other. Particuarly happens when I open a new video, or play a gif, on the second monitor.
vnai 2017-01-25 04:46:21
jstarcher: you have to get a livepatch token from canonical's website
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:46:27
jstarcher: ubuntu doesnt use apt to change the ubuntu release
vnai 2017-01-25 04:46:44
jstarcher: then do sudo canonical-livepatch enable
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:46:44
k1l_: ah okay, I'll try this. Thanks!
alkisg 2017-01-25 04:47:02
brianhunter: I would try with xvesa instead of nvidia/nouveau, to see if it doesn't have the issue
jeffreylevesque 2017-01-25 04:47:52
anyone using xscreensaver?
brianhunter 2017-01-25 04:47:57
alkisg: thanks, I'll try that.
jeffreylevesque 2017-01-25 04:47:59
the screensaver works
jeffreylevesque 2017-01-25 04:48:04
but, i want to enforce password unlock
vnai 2017-01-25 04:48:09
jstarcher: no you will still be on 16.04 . It will upgrade kernel also
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:48:24
got me a bit further
vnai 2017-01-25 04:48:42
apt upgrade doesn't upgrade kernel and graphics core. full-upgrade does all
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:48:51
I see now
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:48:57
looks like that was the trick
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:49:17
was missing the core snap and a few other things that got borked during install but fixing that now
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:49:48
to be more precise: apt uppgrade doesnt update packages that need to install and remove other packages. that is what blocks kernel updates or other significant updates.
jstarcher 2017-01-25 04:51:04
maekse sense now

ChadTaljaardt: so the install worked but it doesnt boot? did you use nomodeset on the install boot, too?
heshg 2017-01-25 04:54:00
Hi... Here's one I'd like to get some insights on. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with the 4.4.0-59-generic kernel on a Dell Inspiron 3000 14 laptop fitted with 8gb of ram. For the last three mornings I've awakened to a root file system (ext4) in read-only mode.
heshg 2017-01-25 04:54:00
Running fsck at pre-boot first complains about the presence of "inodes that were a part of a corrupted orphan link." Fsck then fixes everything up leaving me with a clean fs. I reboot and work all day, no problems.
heshg 2017-01-25 04:54:00
I looked at my syslog and kern.log file where nothing stood out as a red flag, but then again after the fs goes ro I would assume I wouldn't see any more messages until I rebooted.
heshg 2017-01-25 04:54:00
Any suggestion would be appreciated?
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:55:06
no i cant even get it installed
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:55:10

!nomodeset | ChadTaljaardt
ubottu 2017-01-25 04:56:17
ChadTaljaardt: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:56:30
that got a howto to make it work with nomodeset for installer
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:56:33
ive done that k1l_ but it never worked
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:57:09
i booted from a live usb, pressed a key at the purple screen, input English, pressed f6 and selected nomodeset and then pressed esc and then install
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:57:14
got a black screen after
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:57:43
did you activate nomodeset before pressing esc on that menue?
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:57:53
yes
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 04:58:03
there was a little x next to it :)

hi, does someone have any pointers where to find a minimum/optimal kernel config for a ubuntu 14 server guest (kernel 4.2) on vmware host?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 04:59:16
ChadTaljaardt: people on the internet say it works when you use nomodeset
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:01:00
k1l_ i dont know what to do becuase its not working for me :/
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:04:07
ChadTaljaardt: can you remove "quiet splash" from the menue there so it shows the error?
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:04:19
ill look
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:04:28
ChadTaljaardt: and do you have any adapter involved for the videocard and monitor?
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:06:53
im testing it now k1l_
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:06:55
and no
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:07:00
its connected through hdmi
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:08:52
the usb is working correctly on other systems?
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:09:00
(did you check the md5sum)
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:10:10
ChadTaljaardt: you could look if its an uefi issue and disable secureboot or use the legacy mode
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:10:41
ChadTaljaardt: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it/162076#162076
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:11:13
the adapter isnt the issue
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:11:20
becuase it works totally find if i use 16.10
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:11:23
i mean the usb *
ChadTaljaardt 2017-01-25 05:11:42
its only a error with 16.04 and this has been like this for a few months
k1l_ 2017-01-25 05:12:25
ChadTaljaardt: then use 16.10, there will be a newer kernel when 16.04.2 is released

Ilyas 2017-01-25 05:40:25
how come ?

even removing the package and reinstalling it didnt provide me with one

Ilyas 2017-01-25 05:41:58

Hello. I was looking into my Networks folder in Ubuntu, and I noticed three icons to networks that I don't recognize. Yesterday I noticed just one (a different form today's ones). I am wondering, what does that mean? How should I interpret the contents of the Networks folder? Should I worry it is something malicious? Tx in advance
