I am attempting to install steam from the ubuntu repos on Xubuntu 17.10, and am running into a dependecy issue.

Steam requires these two 32bit libraries:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     steam:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but it is not going to be installed
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I attempt to install them:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 : Conflicts: libgl1
    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any ideas?

I am on Xubuntu 17.10 trying to split a .flac album file into tracks. When running the command 

shnsplit -f "Master Of Puppets.cue" -o "flac flac -s -o %f -" "Side A.flac"

shnplit responds with:

shnsplit: warning: discarding initial zero-valued split point shnsplit: error: split point 0 is not greater than previous split point 215871264

My cue sheet has more than one file in the album, and the second file starting with a split point of 0 is not being accepted.

My .cue file: https://pastebin.com/22T79tqP

I am attempting to run a desktop dual monitor setup on Xubuntu 16.04 as follows:

1 - Displayport (3840x2160) monitor connected to an AMD R9 390

2 - VGA (1280x1024) connected to integrated Intel HD 4600

If I enable the option "CPU Graphics Multi Monitor" in my BIOS and attempt to boot, I get a flashing underscore on the first monitor after splash screen. I can boot with only the AMD card enabled just fine.

I am using the latest xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu and xserver-xorg-video-intel drivers from this PPA.

My kernel version is: 4.7.8-040708-generic

What am I doing wrong?

I am using grub2 on an mbr disk (not EFI) to boot Xubuntu 16.04.

I have sort of a specialized setup, as follows:

/dev/sda  - MBR - Grub2 installed

/dev/sda1 - ext2 - /mnt/boot

/dev/sda2 - extended

/dev/sda5 - crypt-luks container with LVM setup inside

I have moved the files:

  • initrd.img-4.4.0-22-generic
  • vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic
  • System.map-4.4.0-22-generic
  • config-4.4.0-22-generic
  • abi-4.4.0-22-generic

to the /boot directory on my root filesystem. I left the grub directory on /dev/sda1 and mounted /dev/sda1 at /mnt/boot. I then created a symlink on /boot/grub to /mnt/boot/grub. I am using grub2's builtin crypto modules to unlock my crypt-luks container with:

GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

I am also using two scripts and an extra keyfile on my luks container to bypass a second password prompt. The first being created by grub to boot the disk and the second created by luks to unlock the disk. I used this tutorial here.

The issue I am having is: when I boot the machine I am presented with a password prompt from grub, but this prompt is broken. If I enter the passphrase correctly it will not boot. I have to use the escape key to view the grub menu and select the correct entry which will then give me the same prompt, but this time it will accept the key.

How can I make the correct entry boot automatically instead of the broken prompt?

The "Sound Settings" button on the "Sound Menu" indicator of the "Indicator Plugin" on the Xfce4-Panel will not open. This button should open pavucontrol, which I can launch from the terminal or Whisker Menu just fine. I just can't launch it from the Panel, which is a real pain. Is there any way I can see a log pertaining to the Panel or Indicator Plugin so I can discover what the issue is?

Here is the button
