tomreyn it has a bug that makes my touchscreen and touchpad act weird/not work (on the 16.04 live they worked like a charm)
angel-swe 2017-01-26 23:45:50
Hi. My batter won't charge no more.. What shall I check?
tomreyn 2017-01-26 23:45:51

angel-swe: "upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0"
hateball 2017-01-26 23:48:06
angel-swe: if your battery has 0% capacity for instance, that's not very great
hateball 2017-01-26 23:48:28
angel-swe: I assume you have tried different chargers? It may well be the charger that is busted also
backbox 2017-01-26 23:48:40
Hello
tomreyn 2017-01-26 23:48:53
angel-swe: see whether there is an option to recalibrate it ("extend battery life") on your bios. check warranty, check china replacements. also,t hat's not an ubuntu question (unless it works on other OS and never worked on a given ubuntu version). maybe try asking in ##hardware

I think I am going to burst.... Who the hell uses Sunday as first day of the week? What's wrong with you??
Scoop7 2017-01-26 23:59:17
and how do you change it to monday?
royal_screwup21 2017-01-27 00:00:30
I have both python 2.7 and python 3.3 installed by default. However, my python 3.3 code is not successfully compiling when I write it in a .py file and then perform "python .py" on the terminal. How do I configure my shell so that python 3.3 successfully compiles?
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:00:31
because Sunday IS the first day of the week

I bursted out at a electronics e-shop for sending me the receive data which seemed to me faulty, then I realized later that it was ubuntus fault!!
Scoop7 2017-01-27 00:01:09

BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:01:10
lppk at the calendar, Scoop7
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:01:17
err look
Scoop7 2017-01-27 00:02:26
BluesKaj it doesn't give the option to change first day of the week....
Scoop7 2017-01-27 00:03:04
Also lets me guess you're from US and not only you don't use the metric system, but you also have Sunday for 1st day??!!
Scoop7 2017-01-27 00:03:09
let*
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:05:23
Scoop7, nope, not US, in Canada and we use the meytic system, but it has nothing to do with which day is first
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:05:43
metric even
Scoop7 2017-01-27 00:06:09
I know but it seems so wrong.... Still need it changed!
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:06:33
Scoop7, check your calandar
zerous 2017-01-27 00:08:08
see you guys later!
angel-swe 2017-01-27 00:09:34
hateball, is this a terminal command? "upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0"
unexpuser 2017-01-27 00:11:00
Hello, could some one help me with increasing the size of my root partition. I tried to do this with fdisk but the size remains the same and most tutorials on the internet are referring to gparted which i cant install since I dont have space left for that.
k1l 2017-01-27 00:11:40
unexpuser: you cant resize the root partition while using it.
k1l 2017-01-27 00:12:09
unexpuser: so either you boot a usb/dvd live ubuntu and use gparted. or you remove stuff from your root partition like old kernels and headers
unexpuser 2017-01-27 00:13:22
k1l: you can delete the partition and add it again with a different size.
k1l 2017-01-27 00:14:21
unexpuser: that doesnt make sense
unexpuser 2017-01-27 00:15:29
k1l: well thats what they say,.. anyway i think a fresh install would be a good idea
k1l 2017-01-27 00:15:38
unexpuser: who says that?
k1l 2017-01-27 00:16:13
unexpuser: you cant resize the / partition while you are running the OS. please boot up a usb or cd/dvd live system and use gparted from there.
ppf 2017-01-27 00:16:29
you can't resize _any_ partition while it's mounted
unexpuser 2017-01-27 00:16:40
http://askubuntu.com/questions/492054/how-to-extend-my-root-partition
ppf 2017-01-27 00:18:43
that's using resize2fs, not fdisk
hateball 2017-01-27 00:19:06
angel-swe: yes, you run that command in a terminal
hateball 2017-01-27 00:19:12
angel-swe: it'll show your battery info
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:19:38
unexpuser, you can install gpartyed as a live media on cd or usb and usw that to partition your drive
BluesKaj 2017-01-27 00:19:58
gparted even
hateball 2017-01-27 00:20:46
ppf: not true, you can extend partitions just fine while mounted
hateball 2017-01-27 00:21:03
shrinking is not a good idea however
ppf 2017-01-27 00:22:13
hateball: with fdisk?
cotin 2017-01-27 00:22:59
Im using webmin and php doesn't work with my vitrualmin it just outputs the php code. Tips anyone?
veysiubuntu 2017-01-27 00:23:20
hi, i have a A4TECH optical mouse. it works on win but doesnt work on ubuntu 16.04 help pls??
hateball 2017-01-27 00:23:22
ppf: right, no. you can indeed grow the filesystem and not the partition :)
hateball 2017-01-27 00:24:36
ppf: I am just used to doing it all with LVM where that isnt a concern
cotin 2017-01-27 00:26:46
Im using webmin and php doesn't work with my vitrualmin it just outputs the php code. Tips anyone?
cotin 2017-01-27 00:27:11
Where is tatertots when i need him?
k1l 2017-01-27 00:28:34
!webmin | cotin
ubottu 2017-01-27 00:28:34
cotin: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.
k1l 2017-01-27 00:28:54
cotin: did you enable the php module with apache2?
cotin 2017-01-27 00:31:00
apache is enabled yes
k1l 2017-01-27 00:31:24
no, php module in apache
cotin 2017-01-27 00:31:56
can i check that from Virtualmin's config page?
k1l 2017-01-27 00:32:31
i guess you should ask the webmin guys then if you want to rely on that
cotin 2017-01-27 00:32:37
In virtual min it under PHP versions it says: Your system only has PHP version 7.0.13 installed, so selecting a different version for each directory is not possible.
cotin 2017-01-27 00:33:16
So it IS installed with my newly created vitrual server.
liteon23 2017-01-27 00:36:34
hey there! Does someone know how to get commercial DVDs to play on 16.04 ? ( I already installed libdvdcss2 & ran 'dpkg-reconfigure ...')
Popzi 2017-01-27 00:36:41
I have an ubuntu laptop and windows 10 laptop, is it possible to make the windows 10 laptop a display-only and plug it into ubuntu over hdmi?
FreePenguin 2017-01-27 00:36:42
which one is better Ubuntu Mate or Xubuntu? In terms of features which has more?
k1l 2017-01-27 00:37:12
cotin: without that webmin/virtualmin stuff. one installs the php packages on ubuntu, then a2enmod the php module. that works.
k1l 2017-01-27 00:37:32
cotin: but since you rely on them, you better ask the webmin guys
cotin 2017-01-27 00:39:27
Well everything worked just fine before i had to upgrade my BIOS. So i installed win7 for BIOS update and then installed 16.04.1 LTS again.
tatertots 2017-01-27 00:42:05
cotin: hi
jimmyar 2017-01-27 00:42:15

jimmyar 2017-01-27 00:42:48

hateball 2017-01-27 00:44:29
jimmyar: well make sure you have deb-src entries for whatever you're trying to pull in
jimmyar 2017-01-27 00:44:42
