hitman1 2017-03-04 04:49:53

Hi I am trying to extending my display. I just purchased a video card.

hitman1 2017-03-04 04:50:18

But on my 2nd monitor graphics are getting very poor.

robertzaccour 2017-03-04 04:54:36

Hey my touchpad doesn't work on this Dell Inspiron 5555. It did for a minute and then stopped.

robertzaccour 2017-03-04 04:54:51

Hopefully this will be fixed next month. I could try the beta and see.

iambatman 2017-03-04 04:55:45

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

#ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:00:28

fotonzade: well, run what it says, sudo apt-get install -f

fotonzade 2017-03-04 05:01:00

I did, it doesnt work though :(

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:01:17

And what was the output?

dekon 2017-03-04 05:02:10

hi, just downloaded skype 5 and i don't hear notification sounds

dekon 2017-03-04 05:02:28

is there a solution to it? Ubuntu 16.10

ducasse 2017-03-04 05:02:57

fotonzade: those libbullet packages are not from the ubuntu repos

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:03:37

fotonzade: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy libbullet2.86 => will tell you which PPA you have that is broken

fotonzade 2017-03-04 05:03:59

yeah its some openmw thing

fotonzade 2017-03-04 05:04:08

I just want to know how to get rid of it

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:04:19

There's ppa-purge to remove ppas

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:04:21

!ppa-purge

ubottu 2017-03-04 05:04:21

To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html

fotonzade 2017-03-04 05:10:54

alkisg, I cant install anything

fotonzade 2017-03-04 05:10:57

without solving this

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:11:35

fotonzade: try: sudo dpkg --purge libbullet2.85:amd64; sudo apt-get install -f

dekon 2017-03-04 05:11:54

alert volume could be too low dekon :D

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:14:40

Hi everyone - I'm trying to set up a software RAID using mdadm. I have unmounted all the drives I want to use, and now I'm encountering the problem "cannot open /dev/sda: Device or resource busy"

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:14:42

fotonzade: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ppa-purge => download ppa-purge.deb and run sudo dpkg -i ppa-purgexxxx.deb

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:14:47

Then ppa-purge + your ppa

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:15:08

What could be causing the drive itself to be busy if I've already unmounted all of my partitions?

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:15:19

BigMao: swap

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:15:28

swapoff /dev/sda5...

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:16:00

Thanks, but that's not my issue. I have the operating system, EFI, and swap on a separate drive.

catbadger 2017-03-04 05:16:51

for anyone who is having the same problem as me, it was 100% user error. i had a bad option in my start script. it wasn't in my minimal example...

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:16:55

And which one is busy, and what is the exact message?

llutz 2017-03-04 05:17:04

BigMao: ""swapon -s"

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:17:17

llutz: https://bpaste.net/show/3173146a5945

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:18:14

alkisg: /dev/sda is busy. I've pasted the output of mdadm

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:18:41

I was previously using it for /home, but I decided to configure a software RAID, so I unmounted it.

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:18:55

(Sorry for inexact language, I unmounted /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1)

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:19:02

BigMao: did you use umount -l, or plain umount?

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:19:32

I tried the umount -l first, and when that didn't work, I mounted again and used umount.

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:19:50

umount -l is lazy unmount, so the files can still be in use

alkisg 2017-03-04 05:19:58

You have to reboot now, I don't know of any other way

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:20:48

All right - thanks for the advice :) I think I have some ideas.

zzookk 2017-03-04 05:21:29

Hello, guys. I can't press hotkeys in java window when keyboard layout is not US. How can i fix it?

akbarzaiem 2017-03-04 05:22:22

hello

ducasse 2017-03-04 05:22:49

zzookk: don't use java :-P more seriously, what java window?

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:23:30

Hello! I need help installing proper drivers for my notebook's (Dell XPS 14) hybrid graphics card

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:24:16

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/810M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1)

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:24:25

08:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (rev 24)

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:25:01

ruffleS, what kernel?

zzookk 2017-03-04 05:25:10

ducasse: Any java window. I cant even paste something with ctrl+v, when i have another keyboard layout

zzookk 2017-03-04 05:25:22

java-app*

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:25:22

diogenes_: 4.8.0-22-generic

ducasse 2017-03-04 05:25:40

zzookk: which jvm are you using?

BigMao 2017-03-04 05:26:08

alkisg: After rebooting, the machine is no longer remotely accessible, so I'll have to drive there to check it out. I think the reboot should fix it though.

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:26:14

ruffleS, did you actually install the river?

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:26:20

driver*

ducasse 2017-03-04 05:26:28

zzookk: and which ubuntu is this?

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:27:14

diogenes_: not really. i don't know which one i'm supposed to use. i think i'll try nvidia-367

zzookk 2017-03-04 05:27:25

ducasse, java -version tells me that - openjdk 64-bit 1.8. ubuntu 16.04

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:28:20

ruffleS, in terminal run: sudo ubuntu-drivers list

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:28:58

diogenes_: it gives me the nvidia-340 but this one, from previous experiences, still gives me a non stopping fan and overheating pc

ducasse 2017-03-04 05:29:11

zzookk: it _could_ be an openjdk bug, you could try searching launchpad and file a bug if you don't find an open one that sounds similar

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:29:36

ruffleS, is it nvidia optimus?

zzookk 2017-03-04 05:29:42

oh :(

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:29:47

diogenes_: yes

Guest41463 2017-03-04 05:31:16

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:31:27

ruffleS, I have optimus myself and I'm using it with bumblebee and it's even more amazing performance than in used to run on windows with original driver, no fans, no overheating you just use your intel integrated for all the majority of work and you use nvidia only for heavy demanding stuff

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:31:56

diogenes_: how can i set it up then?

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:32:10

please tell me it's an apt-get away

diogenes_ 2017-03-04 05:32:24

ruffleS, wait,I'll find the info you might need

ruffleS 2017-03-04 05:32:32

thanks

Guest41463 2017-03-04 05:32:47
