yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:53:50
yes
ioria 2017-02-28 05:54:16
yakiza, so, reboot (from grub) with the 4.8.0.xx kernel
ioria 2017-02-28 05:54:40
yakiza, sudo reboot
yakiza1 2017-02-28 05:55:03
ok
ioria 2017-02-28 05:55:21
yakiza, you probably need to enter 'Advanced Options'
yakiza1 2017-02-28 06:00:18
ioria i i love you
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:00:26
hi. systemd does not start lightdm (ubuntu 16.10). it shows the black/white login screen (tty). when i login there andn enter "$ sudo lightdm", lightdm is started normally. how can i solve this? i want lightdm to start after boot
ioria 2017-02-28 06:00:31
yakiza, it's ok, mate ?
yakiza1 2017-02-28 06:00:38
yes i am in
ioria 2017-02-28 06:01:02
yakiza, good job, but now you need to remove (purge) that 4.10 kernel
ioria 2017-02-28 06:01:31
yakiza, dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep ii | pastebinit
ioria 2017-02-28 06:02:10
yakiza, or dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep ii | nc termbin.com 9999
jarlath 2017-02-28 06:02:18
I want to play audio from my Ubuntu laptop directly through discourse (as a user). I've tried the bot but the installer fails on x64 (I've tried loads of workarounds). Does anyone have this working on 16.04 or know a way to get it to work? Alternatively, something like Virtual Audio Cable for windows would work.
k1l 2017-02-28 06:02:59
egonsen: what happened before? did you change anything?
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:03:22
k1l, i cannot remember. i think i changed something many weeks ago (the last time i used ubuntu)
k1l 2017-02-28 06:03:49
egonsen: changed what? like setting the boot to multiuser.target?
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:04:15
ioria http://termbin.com/ve66
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:04:23
also when i try to "$ sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service", i get: The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:04:23
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
ioria 2017-02-28 06:04:56
yakiza, i think 4.10 is on top of the grub list, so you'll automatically boot that... we want to remove that kernel ?
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:05:03
yes ioria
ioria 2017-02-28 06:05:55
yakiza, sudo apt purge linux-image-4.10.0-041000rc1-generic and paste the errors, in case
k1l 2017-02-28 06:06:22
egonsen: "sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target"
kostkon 2017-02-28 06:06:58
jarlath, install pavucontrol and set the monitor of your sound card as the input device for discource
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:07:15
k1l, "$ sudo systemctl get-default" is already "graphical.target"
k1l 2017-02-28 06:07:32
egonsen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm #if you are running regular ubuntu which uses lightdm
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:08:04
k1l, reconfigure will just overwrite my config, right? i'd rather understand what's going on atm to learn more about systemd
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:08:13
ioria no error
ioria 2017-02-28 06:08:27
yakiza, sudo update-grub
k1l 2017-02-28 06:08:40
egonsen: did you make changes to the lightdm config?
sarika 2017-02-28 06:08:49
hello. I want to install ubuntu along with windows 7. can someone please tell me partitions after I select "something else" while booting Ubuntu 16 .04
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:08:49
ioria http://termbin.com/o1dw
ioria 2017-02-28 06:09:30
yakiza, ok, sudo update-grub
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:09:37
http://termbin.com/tsp4
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:09:37
i did
k1l 2017-02-28 06:09:37
egonsen: well, then you want to read all the logs you can get. use journalctl for that
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:09:37
k1l, /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf does not seem to be changed
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:09:40
ioria just did http://termbin.com/tsp4
ioria 2017-02-28 06:10:04
yakiza, ok, now you should boot on the new 4.8 kernel by default
yakiza 2017-02-28 06:10:17
great ioria thank you so much
egonsen 2017-02-28 06:10:18
k1l, how do i know where to start? i have to find the place where graphical.target is supposed to start lightdm, right?
ioria 2017-02-28 06:10:27
yakiza, no problem
k1l 2017-02-28 06:14:39
egonsen: look at the status of lightdm and why its not starting
