f2 didn't seem to do anything for me
mach20x 2017-03-01 01:47:51
still unable to load
mach20x 2017-03-01 01:49:29
is there some way to run the mv .config .config_backup command in 4.4.0-62-generic or would that just mess with the .config on this init ramdisk?
mach20x 2017-03-01 01:53:38
Thanks for all help rendered, and any help is always appreciated

Hi hateball
angel-swe 2017-03-01 01:55:06
Hi. There is an Email icon top right of my ubuntu and Phone Calls and SMS in it.. I don't use it. Possible to remove it from there?
hateball 2017-03-01 01:55:16
Speiros: hello
brunch875 2017-03-01 01:55:41
angel-swe: it's not just for emails, but for more notifications
JuJUBee 2017-03-01 01:55:58
Good morning. I am a teacher and want a program that will allow me to draw on top of any screen but be able to switch back and forth between drawing and using the mouse
angel-swe 2017-03-01 01:57:06
brunch875, It has "Phone Calls" and "SMS" as submenu. I have no defined phone number up there or email.. what program uses it?
hateball 2017-03-01 01:57:26
JuJUBee: There used to be such a desktop effect, but I cant recall its name or if it is still in Unity (I dont use it)
hateball 2017-03-01 01:57:46
JuJUBee: So you could hold say ctrl+alt and trace your mouse movement
brunch875 2017-03-01 01:58:02
angel-swe: I have no idea. Are you using the newer unity or the default one?
brunch875 2017-03-01 01:58:16
perhaps you have your phone paired via bluetooth?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 01:59:46
my ubuntu installation, 16.04 is very very slow. 30seconds to load up FF and chrome is also slow to. Computer is Latitude E6420 with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz with memory 16gb
Jakey3 2017-03-01 01:59:59
any ideas?
mach20x 2017-03-01 02:00:02
Looks like there is some work going on here http://askubuntu.com/questions/886374/ubuntu-16-04-kernel-4-4-0-64-generic-freezes-after-login-screen
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:00:09
new install aswell
JuJUBee 2017-03-01 02:00:24
hateball, something to do with compiz plugin iirc
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:00:34
tested memory and harddrive is Samsung ssd 850
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:00:44
no obvious error there
elias_a 2017-03-01 02:01:01
Jakey3: Was there another OS before? Did that work ok?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:02:12
elias_a, yes there was lubuntu was super fast then for some reason, could be when i went to 16.04 slowed right down, now on stock ubuntu 16.04 and its so slow its barely useable
brunch875 2017-03-01 02:02:51
lubuntu was built to be lightweight
hateball 2017-03-01 02:02:53
Jakey3: Is bootup slow as well, or just when you are in X?
Sandalot 2017-03-01 02:02:54
Thanks hateball
JuJUBee 2017-03-01 02:03:03
Jakey3, have you tried xubuntu?
brunch875 2017-03-01 02:03:14
it could be that unity (defai
brunch875 2017-03-01 02:03:21
(default DE) is slow on that computer
hateball 2017-03-01 02:03:45
There's no reason such a machine should need a different DE to be usable... but perhaps it is not using a proper GPU driver
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:04:11
hateball, bootup seems 'normal' more when I enter into the desktop environment, however i have noticed when I do sudo apt-get update / upgrade its slower then what i remember
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:04:30
JuJUBee, nope
elias_a 2017-03-01 02:04:35
Jakey3: I'm also betting on graphics driver prob.
hateball 2017-03-01 02:04:38
Jakey3: What GPU/driver are you using?
brunch875 2017-03-01 02:04:44
I remember when I installed ubuntu on my father's computer, it would be barely usable. The animations were super-slow. Then I installed lubuntu on it and it became blazing fast
JuJUBee 2017-03-01 02:04:58
Works well on lower resources... Might help
hateball 2017-03-01 02:05:17
If Firefox tries to use hw accel and you have a broken driver, then things are going to be unfun. As well as for all of Unity
hateball 2017-03-01 02:05:49

Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:07:46
hateball, is this what your looking for https://paste.ubuntu.com/24089856/
hateball 2017-03-01 02:08:57
Jakey3: yea. No nvidia GPU in the machine?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:09:08
nope
hateball 2017-03-01 02:09:31
Jakey3: I'm using a similar CPU myself with no issues running KDE Plasma... so hmmm
mtottenh 2017-03-01 02:09:34
Hi, I seem to have a problem where autotools seems to create a makefile using --push-state/--pop-state in the linker args, but my linker doesn't seem to recognize those as valid options. Any idea how I can fix this?
hateball 2017-03-01 02:09:51
Jakey3: any weird errors if you run "dmesg" ?
elias_a 2017-03-01 02:09:51
Jakey3: I've had the same problem and it was the graphics driver.
elias_a 2017-03-01 02:10:03
Jakey3: Have you updated after installation?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:10:10
elias_a, yep
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:10:30
hateball, will have a look
hateball 2017-03-01 02:11:32
Jakey3: What you *can* do is use the HWE to get newer mesa and kernel
hateball 2017-03-01 02:11:35
!hwe
ubottu 2017-03-01 02:11:35
The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
hateball 2017-03-01 02:11:54
Jakey3: in short: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:12:24
thanks, will give a try.
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:12:38
would be interesting to see if ubuntu 14.04 has the same issue
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:14:15
hateball, nothing crazy in dmesg
angel-swe 2017-03-01 02:15:15

Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:15:48
hateball, elias_a wierd in the ubuntu gui setting has graphics as Intel® Sandybridge Mobile
hateball 2017-03-01 02:16:09
Jakey3: Why is that weird?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:17:14
hateball, was wondering if that corresponds to VGA compatible controller
hateball 2017-03-01 02:18:40
Jakey3: Yes, Sandy Bridge is intels name for that generation cpu
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:19:04
hateball, more the fact is said mobile
hateball 2017-03-01 02:19:26
Jakey3: You're on a laptop are you not?
Jakey3 2017-03-01 02:19:33
true
hateball 2017-03-01 02:20:48
Jakey3: thats what the M in i5-2520M stands for. 2XXX is the generation

My machine is saying - You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

So, what URI is to be added?

Hi. Any idea how to list files installed by a package ?

I've tried this: https://dpaste.de/9xwu
meandrain 2017-03-01 02:41:12
Ok, so I had a typo, but any idea how to list files using apt ? (and not dpkg) ?
