Mixxit: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows.
Mixxit 2017-02-22 08:45:45

What player you'd recommend to try out to play HD video with 60 fps?
OnkelTem 2017-02-22 08:48:17
I tried VLC - output is laggy. Mplayer just hangs

BluesKaj 2017-02-22 08:48:45

zorrothecat: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution.
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:00:38
well i guess the same thing happens in ubuntu ?
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:00:44
nevermind...
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:01:43
im asking here because #elementary #xorg #nvidia channels are DEAD
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:01:53
i just wanna save my file
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:01:59

is there a simple way to use a midi keyboard on ubuntu? i'm having to go through so many steps and troubleshooting just to get a crappy, high-droprate, 90s piano sound that's still resource intensive.
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:03:10
If I were you I would find the KORG M1 VST and use a Linux/Wine(VST) bridge
zorrothecat 2017-02-22 09:03:21
the M1 piano is the best cheezy 90s house piano

hello community! I am trying to open an encrypted home folder. when I am asked MOUNT passphrase, I am entering the 32-char phrase that was displayed to me in terminal. then I get 'success' message with the tmp/path shown. but on this path I find the home folder still encrypted.
k1l 2017-02-22 09:03:57
zorrothecat: that OS handles things differently and because of that ask them for support. if their support channel is dead use their forum or wherever they offer support.
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:04:12
I also discovered that I get 'success' message no matter what I enter as password!
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:06:53
ojatko: try the login password as thr password
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:09:49
Hey, my ubuntu 16.10 is freezing on login
OnkelTem 2017-02-22 09:09:59
BluesKaj: thanks, gonna try it
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:03
The only thing I did was an autoclean
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:05
and then on reboot
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:08
I couldn't access
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:15
it's frozen
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:10:18
j4f-shredder: does th e guest account work?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:26
nono, I can't do anything
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:35
it freezes 1 second after showing the login screen
k1l 2017-02-22 09:10:48
can you boot an older kernel on grub?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:10:49
I tried to use the boot-repair-disk
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:10:54
without even logging in?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:10:55
entering the password
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:11:00
and I rebooted but it still freezes
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:11:10
Eric^^ I was about to try it, but I have another strange thing happening within the last hour. I am on a live dvd and for the second time the screen went black (with backlight) for about 30 seconds, and then the computer instantly shut down. what can be happening? I haven't had this with my HDD..could this be a faulty dvd install?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:11:10
how do I do that?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:11:28
ojatko: possibly
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:11:48
oh goodness
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:12:03
I got an invalid enviroment block before doing this
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:12:11
ojatko: can you use the actual install?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:12:13
before getting my screen fronzen
ioria 2017-02-22 09:12:22
j4f-shredder, can you login in console ?
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:12:40
how do I even do that?
ioria 2017-02-22 09:12:54
j4f-shredder, ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2)
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:13:11
but when? cause as soon as the login scren appears the pc hangs
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:13:17
Eric^^ I was able to use the HDD without this ever having occured
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:13:22
I can write for 1 second
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:13:28
and then it freezes
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:13:38
Eric^^ ah sorry, got it
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:13:40
I have a dual boot with windoes 7
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:13:44
yes, the install was fine
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:13:47
UEFI mode
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:14:01
I've been like this for 4 months
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:14:06
but it failed today suddenly
ioria 2017-02-22 09:14:18
j4f-shredder, you don't write anything , it'a a keys sequence
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:14:36
I will be back and try that
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:14:46
if that screen doesn't appear what do I do?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:15:05
EriC^^ and in my first run of the dvd I was able to use it for a way longer while without this happening
ioria 2017-02-22 09:15:16
j4f-shredder, press shift (or ESC) and try another kernel from GRUB
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:15:26
maybe the programs that I installed cause this?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:15:35
I use the live dvd for system checks
j4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:15:36
on advanced options?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:15:58
ojatko: maybe, try running the dvd integrity check
ioria 2017-02-22 09:15:59
ojatko, from live you can use sudo ecryptfs-recover-private
ioria 2017-02-22 09:16:24
j4f-shredder, yes
hgag 2017-02-22 09:16:26
connect
hgag 2017-02-22 09:17:09
ahmed
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:17:24
ioria, yes, that was the original problem. the command didnt decrypt the home folder when I entered correct mount password
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:17:45
but now I need to get a working live dvd, or get the live dvd working :)
ioria 2017-02-22 09:17:59
ojatko, you said mounted something in /tmp ?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:18:05
ioria, yes
ioria 2017-02-22 09:18:12
ojatko, what ?
hgag 2017-02-22 09:18:59
zero cool
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:19:18
Eric^^ I presume I check the dvd with the respective option at ubuntu start screen?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:19:39
ioria, the path that I entered with the command
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:20:06
ojatko: yes
ioria 2017-02-22 09:20:20
ojatko, path does not mount ....
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:20:23
it's available in legacy mode only iirc
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:21:04
I had to enter the path after ecryptfs command, because without command it returend that typical error with 'permission denied' mentioning a loop of two paths (sorry, I dont have the paste of the error)..so I added the path as suggested in an online post
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:21:12
returned*
hgag 2017-02-22 09:21:38
no
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:21:38
the path of the home folder to be decrypted
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:22:03
Im on command line with another kernel
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:22:10
What do I do now?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:22:23
ojatko: try with the login password
ioria 2017-02-22 09:22:31
ojatko, ok, can you paste ls -al /tmp ?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:22:54
EriC^^ once I get back on live system again, I will do it!
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:23:04
J4f-shredder: try starting lightdm again
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:23:17
Whats that?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:23:23
J4f-shredder: the login manager, sudo systemctl restart lightdm and try logging in
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:23:30
IM A noob in a blackscreen
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:24:25

Hello, I have a big problem after removing the kernel 4.4.0-{63..64} with mistakes, and before rebooting i reinstalled both but after rebooting i have another issues, no gui ( lightdm crashing ) and no internet ( ifconfig gives lo only ) after editing /etc/network/interfaces ( uncomment auto eth0 and next line about it ) nothing also, i used nmcli also same thing, my question how to solve this?
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:25:43
EriC^^ I select 'check disk for defects' but it goes on to boot ubuntu
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:25:51

disi 2017-02-22 09:27:08
EriC^^: interesting, ok thanks... i wonder why this is even in the sources. im just trying to use a genric ubuntu host on Travis CI
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:27:52
When I throw sudo lshw -c Video grep drover it says configuration:driver =i915 latency=0
ioria 2017-02-22 09:28:24
j4f-shredder, what ubuntu is that ?
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:28:30
disi: looks like an old ppa, not just precise is gone
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:28:31

J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:29:19

kadiro 2017-02-22 09:29:26
geirha, i tried the last one ( ifconfig -a ) but only 'lo' interface showing up
ioria 2017-02-22 09:29:30
j4f-shredder, try sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
ioria 2017-02-22 09:33:18

ioria 2017-02-22 09:33:56
j4f-shredder, no, reboot normally, older kernel not working anyway
kadiro 2017-02-22 09:33:57
geirha, thank you, i will reboot and try
ojatko 2017-02-22 09:34:18
EriC^^ no errors found on dvd. could it then be the laptop's dvd player?
ioria 2017-02-22 09:34:23
j4f-shredder, then open a console
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:34:28
I did
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:34:34

Im stucked on the ubuntu login screen
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:35:19
I cant switch to console
EriC^^ 2017-02-22 09:35:24
ojatko: maybe, if you have enough ram you could add "toram" to the grub kernel parameters so it loads it all to ram
disi 2017-02-22 09:35:25
EriC^^: ty, doesnt look like anything i care baout in there
ioria 2017-02-22 09:35:48

ojatko 2017-02-22 09:36:49
it already was behaving strange, like it started to spin the dvd, but stopped shortly after, so the computer went on to boot the HDD..this happened multiple times..whether this relates to the above shutdowns
ioria 2017-02-22 09:37:05
j4f-shredder, wait for the login screen
azizLIGHT 2017-02-22 09:37:06
i got too many kernels in /boot. to remove them, is it correct that i gotta purge packages like linux-image-3.13.0-85-generic and then also this package: linux-headers-3.13.0-85 and linux-headers-3.13.0-85-generic also? anything else?
J4f-shredder 2017-02-22 09:37:12

colematt 2017-02-22 09:41:12
Looking for alternate ways to get the kernel source. Had been following the BuildYourOwnKernel tutorial on wiki.ubuntu.com, when using the apt-get method for 3.13.0-108-generic, I get two errors. 1) E: Failed to fetch (...)linux_3.13.0-108.155.dsc 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.26 80] and 2) E: Failed to fetch (...)linux_3.13.0-108.155.diff.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.23 80]. Not sure how to proceed.
colematt 2017-02-22 09:42:45
Also not sure the git method on BuildYourOwnKernel will work since I have a specific kernel version, not a codename (although I'm on 14.04 LTS Trusty)
