How are the official Ubuntu CD images created? I want to know the build process and what goes into making a distro.

hi all

Hey folks, is there a suggested way to get ubuntu (16.04) to load an xmodmap on user-login? I've tried using ~/.xinitrc, ~/.session and just using a desktop autostart to no avail.
lurklord 2017-03-05 08:06:04
Is there a community or something about making custom kernels for ubuntu?
arrdem 2017-03-05 08:06:12
If I just open a terminal and load the xmodmap by hand it works fine ... until the system display locks at which point my changes get lost.

lurklord: what do you need?
k1l_ 2017-03-05 08:06:35
lurklord: or why do you think the ubuntu kernel is not working?
Peanut 2017-03-05 08:07:40
Hi, my GeForce card seems to have died :-( I'm now running on Intel i6700k graphics, and Ubuntu 16.10 - and the graphics is very glitchy. How good are those drivers?
k1l_ 2017-03-05 08:07:57

kbob 2017-03-05 08:08:26
arrdem: what mod did you change?
lurklord 2017-03-05 08:08:45
The last time I tried ubuntu 16.04 I was stuck using the radeon driver, I needed a custom kernel to be able to use amdgpu on my graphics card.
lurklord 2017-03-05 08:09:14
My graphics card is GCN 1.0 I think and you have to do something before compiling the kernel to be able to use amdgpu.
k1l_ 2017-03-05 08:09:54
lurklord: did amd add support for amdgpu for gcn1 in the meantime?
arrdem 2017-03-05 08:10:06
kbob: mod? I'm not sure what you're referring to. I'm just trying to get control and capslock swapped :P
Bashing-om 2017-03-05 08:10:23
Peanut: What is the hardware/driver(s) ? Pastebin ' sudo lshw -C display ' .. and how did you install the nVidia driver ?
k1l_ 2017-03-05 08:10:44
lurklord: you can have the 4.8 kernel and xorg rom 16.10 in 16.04 lts.
lurklord 2017-03-05 08:11:08
Nice, I think I'm going to switch now.

hello. Very new to ubuntu. Runnign newest 32 bit version on older 2006 macbook pro. One issue I have is that computer constantly runs HOT with fans going fast - and thats with no activity other than having browser open and irc. Any advice please?

Bashing-om: the NVIDIA card is no longer in the machine (won't power on with the card installed). The drivers were installed through 'additional drives', it seems I was running nvidia-367, but that card is toast. :-(
Bashing-om 2017-03-05 08:15:02
Peanut: Yuk, no nVidia card there . what shows ' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA ' ?
Peanut 2017-03-05 08:16:12
Bashing-om: the Nvidia card is dead, gone, not physically in the machine anymore. I'll see if I can get a new one after the weekend. What I'm trying to find out is if there is a way to make my HD530 / i6700k graphics a bit less glitchy.
Bashing-om 2017-03-05 08:16:42
Peanut: Never the mind for seeing what is not installed . -- so as we have no nVida card .. what now is the issue as the driver is installed for the Intel dispaly .

Update: installing gnome-tweak-tool and using that to get a control/capslock swap "just worked" despite the fact that all the other stuff I tried should have worked >.>

Peanut: I be slow on the uptake here . Did not comprehend that Intel is the only display . I do not hav a lot of experience with Intel // but is the config file for optimus still in place ? what returns ' ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ' ?
Peanut 2017-03-05 08:22:36
Bashing-om: No such file or directory.
Peanut 2017-03-05 08:22:54
I never used 'optimus', always had the monitor directly on the gfx card until today.
Bashing-om 2017-03-05 08:25:51
Peanut: K, how new is this box ? do we have an old driver ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel ' still installed ?

It's not an ubuntu question it's a singe tool

csvtool - the one included with ubuntu doesn't seem to work when you have it call a function using the call command for it

I haven't been able to find bug reports listing glitchy graphics on this CPU - I wonder if my CPU might actually be dying/dead :-(

Peanut: are the graphics glitchy when booted to livecd/liveusb?

Peanut: Log files may give hints - /var/log/Xorg.0.log and in your home directory .xsession-errors , Also worth looking at is /var/log/gpu-manager.log .
