Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:45:13
k1l aaah
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:45:56
hi guys, where do you save your xorg.conf when using nvidia-settings? I've tried saving it to /etc/X11 and /usr/share/X11 but the settings aren't applied when rebooting
Bashing-om 2017-01-26 13:48:00
BluPhenix316: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf . But the use of this file is depreciated except for "special" use cases .
k1l 2017-01-26 13:48:03
Americanu_ubuntu: ok, i have to leave now. but i will show you some bits: test with reboot with setting the parameters again on grub. if that works again, then you can follow the howto to make that permanent.
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:48:22
Bashing-om, yeah that hasn't worked either
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:48:27
as i mentioned previously
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:48:34
k1l should i try first without those params?
k1l 2017-01-26 13:49:09
Americanu_ubuntu: you should make sure that its not set to "enable wake on lan" on windows. that card seems to have a lot of issues when switching from windows and linux back and forth.
wafflejock 2017-01-26 13:49:27
BluPhenix316, you on 16.04?
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:49:32
k1l ill double check it on w10
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:49:34
wafflejock, 16.10
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:49:52
k1l thanks a lot, you and heathenwolfe gave me hope on trying ubuntu lol
Bashing-om 2017-01-26 13:49:57
BluPhenix316: Beats me so far, what is the end goal here ?
k1l 2017-01-26 13:50:05
Americanu_ubuntu: if that all doesnt work: do install "r8168-dkms" on ubuntu when you somehow manage to get internet again.
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:50:10
i've tried saving to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf but X doesn't use those files anymore
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:50:13
ok
k1l 2017-01-26 13:50:22
Americanu_ubuntu: first run with those parameters again in grub (one time solution)
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:50:41
Bashing-om, I have 2 monitors, but i'm trying to arrange them so the monitor on my left is displayed as the monitor on my life
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:50:59
i can do it via nvidia-settings, but it doesn't persist across reboots
k1l 2017-01-26 13:51:17
Americanu_ubuntu: if that works, then make it the permanent solution from the howto. that would be easy one. no matter check on windows if you have enabled wake on lan. that must be off.
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:51:34
ok i will do that k1l
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:51:40
ill do them now actually
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:51:53
thanks a lot for the help k1l
k1l 2017-01-26 13:52:18
this is opensuse but it shows, that the card is the issue: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem
k1l 2017-01-26 13:52:23
bye :)
Bashing-om 2017-01-26 13:52:31
BluPhenix316: Sorry, no experience with dual monitors . No ideas .
Americanu_ubuntu 2017-01-26 13:52:35
bye bye :D
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:52:42
i have ran into this in the past, i know you save xorg.conf somewhere in /usr
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:52:45
i just can't remember where
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:53:12
i've tried /usr/share/X11 but that hasn't worked for me, i wonder if it is /usr/lib/X11
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:53:29
that seems silly but i dunno
wafflejock 2017-01-26 13:54:39
BluPhenix316, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/yakkety/man5/xorg.conf.5.html has the list of paths it searches there
Zythyr 2017-01-26 13:54:41
How do I ensure my Ubuntu doesn't install in EFI mode
wafflejock 2017-01-26 13:55:04
BluPhenix316, thought it searched somewhere in ~/.config/ in recent versions but not seeing anything about that
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:55:27
wafflejock, yeah that is what is throwing me
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:55:34
it should work in any of the locations i have it saved
BluPhenix316 2017-01-26 13:55:36
but it isn't
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 13:57:09
Hello I am running ubuntu mate 16.1 with kabby lake intel GPU, and my computer has crashed and the screen is flickering with blocks of colours (looks really broken) anyways I have tried alt+prnt screen REISUB and it isnt working
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 13:57:28
is there a safe method to reboot other than that?
Zythyr 2017-01-26 13:57:31
I am isntalling Ubuntu 16 using a USB drive. How do I prevent UEFI install? I want to do a regular BIOS compability install
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 13:57:38
as I dont want to hard reset if I dont have to
php 2017-01-26 13:59:02
Hey
php 2017-01-26 13:59:16
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my home server and cannot resolve DNS
wafflejock 2017-01-26 13:59:31
Australopithecus, can you get to a tty with Ctrl+Alt+F1 if so can do sudo reboot, or sudo shutdown now, I think not sure if that works if your other attempt didn't though
php 2017-01-26 13:59:31
my /etc/resolv.conf contains 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 nameservers
wafflejock 2017-01-26 13:59:55
php, you try using nslookup or dig to see what's going on?
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 13:59:57
i cannot
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 14:00:05
the screen is kind of going black now
Australopithecus 2017-01-26 14:00:18
@wafflejack
wafflejock 2017-01-26 14:00:22
Australopithecus, sorry that's the best I know of if you can't get a terminal at all think you have to hard reset
wafflejock 2017-01-26 14:00:30
maybe someone else has another option though
php 2017-01-26 14:00:51
wafflejock, connection timed out
php 2017-01-26 14:01:46
this is weird
php 2017-01-26 14:03:51
wafflejock, now it's saying Server 127.0.1.1
php 2017-01-26 14:04:09
No idea where that's from since I removed it from /run/resolvconf/
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:04:43
it kinda tells you exactly where it's from if you read the top of the file
php 2017-01-26 14:05:31
tatertots, it doesn't
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:06:32
so your resolv.conf doesnt inform you that your changes will be overwritten and not to hand edit the file?
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:06:46
it doesn't ?...wanna look again
php 2017-01-26 14:06:49
It says that.
php 2017-01-26 14:06:57
But it doesn't say where it's from.
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:07:34
you know where that info is coming from
php 2017-01-26 14:07:45
I've checked on it now and it seems that /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager is being populated with 127.0.1.1
php 2017-01-26 14:07:58
tatertots, please don't treat me like an idiot.
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:08:21
i don't name call
php 2017-01-26 14:08:28
I didn't name call.
php 2017-01-26 14:08:48
"please don't treat me like an idiot" means "please don't treat me as if you think I am an idiot"
tatertots 2017-01-26 14:08:48
just fyi your router
php 2017-01-26 14:09:20
blagh read your message wrong
php 2017-01-26 14:09:34
ironic considering I don't want to be called an idiot
php 2017-01-26 14:09:35
lol
wafflejock 2017-01-26 14:09:37
php, if you do dig +trace www.google.com, it should show you basically the whole path to get that resolved
nooobbb 2017-01-26 14:10:13
hello
nooobbb 2017-01-26 14:10:24
can anyone help me?
wafflejock 2017-01-26 14:10:26
not sure why you're seeing 127.0.1.1 there though can pastebin what you're seeing too somewhere that'd probably help, not sure how much I can help with the actual DNS config though I just stumble my way through it
nooobbb 2017-01-26 14:10:30

hello, when booting i saw an error message looked further and it is the cpu frequency daemon that's causing trouble. I've had a couple of slowdowns that I'm blaming on the cpu so it is more than likely related, any help? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23872397/
php 2017-01-26 14:13:13
wafflejock, I think the network config is screwed now. Can't ping any IPs anymore.
php 2017-01-26 14:14:29
wafflejock, fixed it
php 2017-01-26 14:14:42
had to legit turn off my network and turn it back on
php 2017-01-26 14:14:43

MarkB2 2017-01-26 14:22:10
I'm about to start an attempt to install the "official" NVidia driver for my Ubuntu 16.04.1 64-bit installation. It wants me to exit the X server.. and I'm embarrased to say I don't know how to log out and terminate the server to get just a login prompt.
MarkB2 2017-01-26 14:22:35
Every time I log out.. or kill the server manually, it gets restarted and >poof< I've been 'X'ed again.

I'm having trouble running snap try with snap/snapd vs 2.21 on 16.04. The confinement is specified as classic and when I run snap try --classic or snap try --devmode, I still get the error that it requires consent to use classic confinement

Hi everyone. I am having to seriously consider installing 32-bit instead of 64-bit Ubuntu because my EFI is 32 bit. Do I lose a lot by doing that? (I have 3 gigs of RAM)

your efi is 32 bit?! did know that was even possible

my machine boots straight into gnu grub, how do I repair from here? ls lists drives
jayjo 2017-01-26 14:40:27
The possible commands do not look helpful. Is this drive corrupted? how did that happen?
doublejane 2017-01-26 14:41:29
jayjo: do ur bios support EFI Shell?
jayjo 2017-01-26 14:41:39
I can try to boot into it
doublejane 2017-01-26 14:42:35
yep then find out the ubuntu EFI file and see if it can boot successfuly
jayjo 2017-01-26 14:43:27
It appears it cannot
jayjo 2017-01-26 14:43:33
just a blinking cursor
doublejane 2017-01-26 14:44:46
whats the first order of boot?
doublejane 2017-01-26 14:45:00
"hard drive" or "EFI:hard drive"
