6:21 PM
I'm trying to install 16.04 on a laptop, and I'm getting this error:
AMD Radeon VCE init error (-22)
Any ideas?
 
6:36 PM
amd card is too new
do a ...
dmesg | egrep -i 'vce|error'
 
[ 1.121931] ACPI Error: [\_SB_.PCI0.GFX0.DD02._BCL] Namespace lookup failure, AE_NOT_FOUND (20150930/psargs-359)

hmm that's a new one for me :P
AE_NOT_FOUND
 
bios update?
 
care to test somethign?
does this work ->

echo '\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0.DD02._BCL' > /proc/acpi/call
@Mitch
to test if it did do a ...
dmesg | grep acpi_call
 
bash: /proc/acpi/call: Permission denied
 
6:46 PM
sudo it =)
 
I did. Same result
 
@Mitch latest bios???
 
hmm
@Mitch what kernel?
 
@Edity Yes Latest BIOS
 
ok
 
6:47 PM
16.04.1 Kernel.
 
k
ubuntu?
 
Xubuntu
 
oh
try editing the xbuntu kernel in grub and put acpi=off, then try to boot @Mitch
 
do you need an lts?
dropping acpi should work yes but ...
no hibernate and suspend :P
 
good enough for me
 
6:53 PM
care to try the 16.10 kernel?
I assume your amd card is too new :P
 
toooo new
@Mitch amd card too new, try downgrading

@NathanOsman ooh, someone is a ham over there.

Every. freaking. time. Just as I'm about to ask someone.

Happy New Year :)
 
Happy New Year! :)

8:18 PM
Dec 30th ISO image of 17.04 crashed and burned from DVD install. Now I have Jan 1st ISO image on USB... let's see how this works! bbl.
 
8:30 PM
"Error setting up gfxboot"... sigh can't even boot it!
 
8:49 PM
heh thanks for that comment @WinEunuuchs2Unix
feeling a bit down, that cheered me up!
 
9:02 PM
where'd they get the idea that FAT32 is only for Windows?
 
shrug
 
ugh.
 
.hgu
lotta Popcorn Time recently
is there a new movie out?
 
9:15 PM
I wanna know who let that through review without editing downvoting or commenting... askubuntu.com/posts/671890/revisions
 
that post was in dire need of editing imo
 
ah
 
ubunutu?
ok, apparently it's only me who feels the need to edit everything...
this question has some BAD answers
 
9 of em
some have to be :p
why was this one deleted askubuntu.com/a/579597/274320
 
9:24 PM
their account says unregistered, idk... but Oli deleted it so shrug mod business
 
ROGUE ONE
 
yes, what of it?
 
is good, will recommend, 8/8
 
THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTs @edwinksl
 
I also recommend Rogue One :D
 
9:30 PM
The Accountant =)
 
haha I'm laughing at my own comments... I really should have left the house today
Did you actually run ./configure? I can't get it to build, but at least I'm getting the familiar unhelpful recipe for target whatever failed rather than a "where am I who am I?" kind of line 1 error. You read the INSTALL.linux file? README? — Zanna Sep 26 '16 at 21:26
article I like about Rogue One mediadiversified.org/2016/12/31/…
 
Haven't seen that yet :p
 
Sounds like I'm going to hit my data cap this month.
:(
 
you have a data cap?
 
9:43 PM
For high speed.
Then it drops to 256 kbps.
 
cellular?
 
what's the HSPA+ speed there?
it's not great on TMO, but that's cause there's LTE
 
About 15 Mbps down, 5 up.
 
that's better than a lot of LTE points in the US o_O
 
9:45 PM
It's about the maximum for HSPA+.
 
> HSPA+ can achieve data rates of up to 42.2 Mbit/s.
 
Huh...
 
so now that WIND or whatever it's called now is deploying B66, are you gonna get a new phone sooner rather than later?
or are you hoping OnePlus will unlock support for it? (since it's the same frequency as B4)
 
Went for a long walk and took 300 pictures...
 
o_O
 
9:47 PM
@Zacharee1 that would be cool.
@TheXed new camera burn in?
:D
 
@NathanOsman working on it :-D
 
I wonder if they can actually do that
my Note 4's bands are set in NV values in the Qualcomm firmware
 
But can you change them?
 
no
 
1
Q: How do I trace back which dependency chain leads to some particular package?

x-yuriFor example, openjdk-7-jdk in trusty depends on systemd. How do I figure out dependency chain that leads to systemd? I tried debtree openjdk-7-jdk and apt-rdepends openjdk-7-jdk, but they don't list systemd. What am I doing wrong?

 
9:49 PM
they reset on reboot
 
I wondered about that too ^^
 
I figured.
 
it's possible on some phones though
I wonder if my V20 could be edited to pick up CDMA bands...
 
Wait. "NV" is "non-volatile" - that means they should persist.
 
that's the problem; they do ;p
the LTE band value in my Note's NV is locked or something
I wanted to change the bands, because then I could've unlocked B12 for TMO
it was the only one missing
 
9:53 PM
If OnePlus can unlock the band, sure.
Otherwise I'm sticking with the phone.
 
you should see if there's a way to reset NV data in some dialer setting before you mess around though
 
hahaha "take it from there" to someone who says "I don't know any terminal commands" askubuntu.com/a/866882/527764
 
lol
right?
 
@Zacharee1 I doubt I can do much without root though.
 
oh yeah, you need that
flash SuperSU
 
9:56 PM
I haven't unlocked the bootloader.
 
o_O
 
well found
 
well it is my answer :p
 
oh that does make it easier, got two of those lately, one on how to set a shortcut for mate-screenshot -a and one on how to uninstall Telegram, in both cases OP marked as dupe very fast
 
nice
 
have a chevron
 
10:31 PM
lol thanks :D
 
what would be even nicer, would be some new questions I know how to answer that haven't answered already, but I think I need to make efforts to learn more stuff at this point haha
 
awww I'm outta votes! where did they all go? makes innocent face and hopes people are not really really sick of CVing questions, because there are 100 still to go
 
@Zanna learn how to fix AMD problems, zach is not good enough
 
@Zanna o_O
 
10:34 PM
@edwinksl lol lies
ima leave the tab open to CV that one in the morning if it's not gone already
 
if he were good, he would have more rep than you do
 
@edwinksl where's your 10k
 
nah rep is just a measure of how much time you spend staring at the feed
 
@Zacharee1 i am nubcake
but remember, seth is still more nubcake than i am
 
hehehe
 
10:35 PM
@edwinksl yes
biggest nubcake
 
nubcake? wat?
 
Seth is nubcake
Dec 29 '16 at 3:26, by edwinksl
rare to see seth be such a nubcake
 
Oh how I hate DD when you meant to run it on your flash drive but copy and pasted instructions which nuked first 512 MB of your 500 GB HDD with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 screams
 
hi
 
Hey Xed how's your day?
 
10:45 PM
Not bad...
 
Does that mean good though?
 
Just got back about 30 mins ago from taking a bunch of pictures...
now I have to sort through them all...
They say a good photographer only lets you see about 1% of their work...because the other 99% is shit...
 
Sounds like my programming skills :p
 
So if I stick to the "rule" I can show you 3.08 pictures...
 
hullo
 
10:52 PM
@Serg hi
 
@TheXed how are feeling in 2017 ?
 
@Serg I will let you know when I mentally catch up to my body...
 
lol, i see
 
@Zacharee1 ay
 
nobkek
 
10:56 PM
I'm still trying to kinda wake up. Nose feels funky
 
sith nobkek
 
yehs
adwonkzil
 
naise
 
ugh why can't manufacturers just keep the default Android look
like OnePlus and HTC do
 
lol, Father asked if it was me who cracked some kind of plate when i was changing light switch. Of course, everything has to do with electricity is my fault
 
11:02 PM
duhh'
 
I have no idea about no plates or whatever. It was the worst idea to go into electrical engineering, because every time some kind of appliance breaks it's like jokes " you're electrical engineer, fix it"
 
Well, almost same if you study IT and people have computer problems.
 
user136984
11:20 PM
Goodnight! :)
 
I don't study IT ( yet ) and people still ask me "Oh, can you fix my computer". It's kind of assumed that if you're electrical engineer you do everything electrician plus IT technician plus repair shop guy does. But to be honest , I enjoy computer things more.
Actually, when my friend asked me about kernel panic, I got eggs-cited
 
blegh
school starts soon
 
blegh indeed
I've 12 days to pay tuition, and classes start in 16 days.
I wonder if i should just get rid of emf class and control systems, and only take history and physics
might be cheaper option and easier to pass
Oooo, I'm signed up for 5 classes. Ugh , that's interesting . . . I wonder what i should drop
 
11:49 PM
the bass
@Zanna we've duped up :p askubuntu.com/questions/866881/…
 
@Zacharee1 o-lala, clever, clever
 
hueehueehuee
 
You know what else I can drop ?
 
the shots?
 
Drop kick on you butt
 
11:59 PM
lol
 
not really a roast . . . but still makes sense
 
not really :p
