cpugirlhow to upgrade 10.04 to 10.10 ?04:53
SonikkuAmericacpugirl: Upgrade to 12.04. 10.10 is no longer supported.04:55
SonikkuAmericaIf you need assistance with that, I can help04:55
cpugirlsorry!! 12.1004:55
SonikkuAmericaThat isn't supported either. We only support 12.04, 14.04 and 14.1004:56
SonikkuAmerica(Did you mean 14.10?)04:56
cpugirlyes04:56
xanguaa fresh install is the fastest way04:56
SonikkuAmericaYes.04:56
cpugirlwhat about 14.04 to 14.10 ?04:57
xanguasuddenly people using 10.04 showing off, it's the moon or something?04:57
SonikkuAmericaHowever, you can go from 10.04 > 12.04 > 14.04 without a Live image04:57
cpugirlxangua:sorry it was just mistype :(04:57
cpugirlI am using 14.04 now and wanna shift to 14.1004:58
xanguaI'm still lost04:58
xanguaoh, just go to software center, edit, software sources and in the update tab pick normal updates instead or LTS04:59
SonikkuAmericacpugirl: Can you paste the output of [ lsb_release -sc ] for me? (The part in [ ] is typed in a !terminal.)04:59
xanguawait, xubuntu doesn't have software centre (¿) I don't remember04:59
SonikkuAmericaxangua: Yes it does04:59
cpugirltrusty04:59
SonikkuAmericacpugirl: Go to Software and Updates in the Settings Manager and pick "For any new version" under "Notify me of a new Ubuntu release:".05:00
SonikkuAmericacpugirl: Then close Software and Updates.05:00
timvisher-xubuntare there any known bugs with acer e3-111 bluetooth drivers?05:01
timvisher-xubuntmy box cannot find any bluetooth devices, though other devices (macs) can see them fine05:01
timvisher-xubuntlotuspsychje in #ubuntu, i think, believes the following pastebin is relevant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9278432/05:03
SonikkuAmericacpugirl: The best way to upgrade your system in place is by running [ do-release-upgrade ] once you've finished what I told you to do in a !terminal05:03
cpugirlNo new release found05:04

mesaboogie1does anyone have an ubuntu forums/askubuntu account and can post for me the fix please?08:29
mesaboogie1(I'm using xubuntu trusty)08:29
mesaboogie1and the fix is just to go (xfce) settings>session and startup> and >advanced and "lock screen before sleep"08:31
mesaboogie1https://www.google.co.nz/?gws_rd=ssl#q=xubuntu+trusty+resume+black+screen08:34
mesaboogie1sorry it's not askubuntu/ubuntuforums (well it's there but) > it's actually bugs.launchpad.net08:35
mesaboogie1hi is anyone here?08:39
xubuntu31wHi, all10:13
Rogi_Hi11:38
Rogi_One short question as I'm very new to linux and xubuntu11:39
Rogi_Can I update the xubuntu 14.04 kernel the same way I would update the ubuntu 14.04?11:40
slickymasterWorkyes you can Rogi_11:41
Rogi_thanks big time slickymasterWork11:41
slickymasterWorkjust head on to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, download the version you want and then run sudo dpkg -i kernelversion.deb11:42
Rogi_kernel 3.17 fixes my WiFi issues so that was a big answer I needed11:42
slickymasterWorkok, no problem11:42
Rogi_btw, just saying... this IRS support is so much cooler than scrolling though endless forum posts :)11:43

flan_suseWhen you lock the screen, isn't your wallpaper supposed to be the background?15:08
flan_suseFor some reason, it started happening recently that whenever I lock my screen in Xubuntu, the background is the Xubuntu default; not my custom wallpaper.15:09
flan_suseI checked under LightDM settings, but could find nothing.15:09
GridCubeit should be, but sometimes it isnt15:09
GridCubeand sometimes it is15:10
flan_suseIs there is a reason why?15:10
Poisoned_Dragon_I put my wallpapers in /usr/share so that they show up in lightdm.15:10
flan_suseI'll explain in a different way.15:10
GridCubei think it depends on where the image is and if lightdm have access to them outside of an acredited user15:10
flan_suseLet's say I set my wallpaper to "Fireworks.jpg".15:10
GridCubelike what crendentials have the file to be accessed bay anyone or not15:11
flan_suseIt's located under $HOME/Wallpapers/Fireworks.jpg15:11
Poisoned_Dragon_with that said, my screen locker is gnome-screensaver. So, I don't have that expectation.15:11
flan_suseWhen I lock the screen, I don't see Fireworks.jpg as the background, but instead the default Xubuntu wallpaper.15:11
flan_suseGridCube: Shouldn't $HOME/Wallpapers be accessible to LightDM?15:12
GridCubedepends on the directory permissions15:12
Poisoned_Dragon_actually, no.15:12
Poisoned_Dragon_unless root has permissions for it.15:12
GridCubeif you set them to be readable by anyone, yes15:12
GridCubeif not only you15:12
GridCubePoisoned_Dragon_: root has permissions for everything15:13
GridCubethe lightdm service might not15:13
Poisoned_Dragon_True... But with lightdm, I find it better to put custom wallpapers in /usr/share/wallpapers15:13
Poisoned_Dragon_I think thats where the system ones are.15:13
GridCubeyep, because that folder is readable by anyone15:13
GridCubethoguh only root can write15:13
Poisoned_Dragon_Then, lightdm has access to it at all times.15:13
flan_suseThe folder is readable by all, as are the files.15:14
flan_suserw-rw-r--15:14
GridCubethen in theory it should work15:14
flan_suseHmmmm.15:14
GridCubebut sometimes, it doesnt15:14
GridCubefor me is totally random15:14
Poisoned_Dragon_In theory,it should. in practice, I never hold the expectation of anything in my home directory being freely accessable.15:14
Poisoned_Dragon_So... I just put it outside home.15:15
flan_suseLet me try setting my wallpaper to something under /usr/15:15
GridCubeflan_suse: i've used variety and set it to set the login wallpaper as well, it works15:15
Poisoned_Dragon_good test15:15
flan_suseAnd see if it works.15:15
flan_suseVariety?15:15
GridCubeVariety is a wallpaper changer15:15
flan_suseOh.15:15
GridCubehttps://launchpad.net/variety15:16
flan_suseAlright.15:18
flan_suseI set the wallpaper to something under /usr/share/xfce4/backgrounds/15:18
flan_suseAnd when I lock the screen, I do indeed see it as the background.15:19
flan_suseSo lightdm is not reading anything under ~/Wallpapers/15:19
GridCubemmhm15:19
GridCubeyep, that sounds about right15:19
flan_suseWell, it's working again now...15:20
GridCubesometimes it does15:20
Poisoned_Dragon_so, move it to /usr/share/xfce4/backgrounds/15:20
flan_suseFor some reason, setting the wallpaper to something under /usr/share/ and THEN setting it back to ~/Wallpapers/ works again...15:20
Poisoned_Dragon_Then you'll always be golden.15:20
flan_susePoisoned_Dragon_: But now it works under ~/Wallpapers15:20
Poisoned_Dragon_For now.15:21
Poisoned_Dragon_Bet it fails after reboot15:21
GridCubeflan_suse: for a time it will, but then it wont15:21
flan_suseIt's like using another folder "reset" it or something.15:21
flan_suseGridCube: But computers are supposed to be PERFECT.15:21
Poisoned_Dragon_pfft15:21
Poisoned_Dragon_Bwwwaaahahahahahaha15:21
GridCubewelcome to FOSS15:21
flan_suse100.01% perfection.15:21
GridCube:315:21
flan_suseLearned something just now, and fixed this issue for the meantime.15:22
flan_suseThanks for your time PD and GC.15:22
flan_suseIf it keeps up, I might switch over to /usr/15:22
flan_suseWhat the?15:24
flan_suseI'm typing /i-am-finished-now-please-disconnect-me-from-freenode and it keeps saying: "/i-am-finished-now-please-disconnect-me-from-freenode is not a supported command"15:24
flan_suseI'm stuck here forever!15:24

pjotterHi everybody! I installed Xubuntu 14.04 and after 10 minutes or so, my screen goes blank. Even when I set powermanagement and light locker to never do that. How is this possible and how do I get this fixed? Anyone know?22:42
