[02:20] Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall apps, directly through the Applications Menu in Xubuntu by right clicking, somewhat like the option to uninstall in the Unity desktop. Is there a way to enable this? [10:35] i cant download google crome......any help would be helpful..... [10:38] https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html xubuntu60w [10:40] heya [10:40] i've upgraded to xubuntu from unity on 15.04 [10:40] somehow i get xscreensaver instead of light locker.... [10:40] how can i use light-locker without any screensavers? [10:41] * xnox wants to display to turn off to save power and upon activation just see the light-locker [10:41] xnox, xcreensaver is known to conflict with light-dm. xfce.org recommends removing xscreensaver as of 14.04 [10:42] ok, removed, now what? logout/login? [10:42] correction.....i cant install crome..... [10:42] xnox, yep [10:43] !info crome [10:43] !info chrome [10:43] Package crome does not exist in vivid [10:43] Package chrome does not exist in vivid [10:43] xubuntu60w, the google one is cHrome [10:44] xubuntu60w, and I just gave you the link [10:44] did you mean chromium [10:52] hm, the transitions are bed [10:52] e.g. i see a lot of sreen flicker between desktop -> locked transition [10:53] Using late locking? [10:53] ? [10:53] light locker yes [10:54] xnox: light-locker has some drawbacks, mainly due to the VT switch when locking the screen [10:54] Late locking was supposed to help with some of that, I don't use it though so can't say. [11:49] hi [11:51] my xubuntu 15.04 does not correctly with kernel 3.19.0-17, I only see a black screen (after 10mintues) but I boot in recovery mode then proceed the start it boots correctly, any idea ? [12:03] after removing "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset" in grub I can boot but the display does not use all screen size [12:08] DomiX: Thats expected, since you have to install the correct graphics drivers now. [12:10] I see in additional driver, there is an unknow device, I just select it to use intel-microcode [12:10] brb [12:15] bekks, I do not understand why it worked before like a charm [12:15] We dont know what you have done after "it worked like a charm". [12:15] installing intel-microcode did not resolve issue [12:15] intel-microcode isnt a graphics driver. [12:15] update software [12:16] Updated which software? Which GPU do you have? [12:16] using linux 3.19.0-15 works [12:16] Thats a kernel. Not a graphics driver. [12:17] yes but using the actually linux 3.19.0-17 do not work [12:17] What "does not work" about it? [12:17] I only have a black screen [12:17] Because you are lacking a graphics driver. [12:18] Thats what I said above. [12:18] Which GPU do you have? [12:18] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller [12:18] from lspci [12:20] So you actually see a graphical environment? [12:20] yes but only if I set nomodeset in grub [12:21] Yes, thats required. [12:21] xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed [12:21] 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.1 [12:27] reading /var/log/apt/history.log, last package updated was linux-*-.3.19.0-17 [12:28] http://pastebin.com/dM2JTCca [12:34] DomiX: 3.19.0-17.17 is only available in -proposed. if you encounter some regression with this version, please file a bug report [12:35] dunno what is -proposed [12:35] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed [12:35] I don't remember selecting something like this [12:36] but you did end up with a pre-release update [12:36] too bad :( [12:37] it's enabled vivid-proposed [12:38] bug 1453593 [12:38] bug 1453593 in linux (Ubuntu) "3.19.0-17 freeze" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1453593 [12:38] bug 1453542 [12:38] bug 1453542 in linux (Ubuntu) "15.04 with 3.19.0-17 kernel boot failure" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1453542 [12:40] indeed it sounds like the same bug [12:41] I'm running an old laptop and there is no more bios upgrade [12:42] first, you should revert to version -16 [12:44] how ? in grub ? [12:45] purge -17 and reinstall -16 if necessary [12:45] sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.19.0-17-generic ? [12:46] I guess so. Did you disable the -proposed repository? [12:47] otherwise -17 may be reinstalled automatically [12:47] yes [12:47] Hi there. My alt tab is quite slow… Do you have the same problem? [12:47] simpleuser: in 15.04? [12:47] brainwash, let me try a reboot, brb [12:47] brainwash: yes [12:48] simpleuser: disable window previews in settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab [12:49] generating the previews for the alt tab switcher can be slow sometimes [12:49] especially if you have many windows open [12:50] brainwash, it works as expected now, thx :) [12:50] brainwash: Thanks! [12:50] great :) [12:50] awesome :D [12:50] A bit better [12:50] Still a bit slow, but much better ;) [12:51] Actually it's quite random. Strange. [14:07] hello, xubuntu [14:07] i have a question about using xubuntu-core install [14:08] on ubuntu 14.04 LTS will xubuntu-core^ install xfce 4.10 or 4.12 components? [14:10] LambdaFox, pretty sure it'll be 4.10 as that's what's current in 14.04.2, but I could be wrong. [14:10] that was my guess also. can the xubuntu dev ppa be used to update it? [14:11] web upd8 says it only works for full xubuntu [14:11] LambdaFox, with PPA? presumably. [14:13] i am hoping ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 will work tho [14:13] has anyone tried it? [14:13] no idea. perhaps you can be the pioneer and write it up! [14:15] i have a post in ubuntu forums. no one seems to know. look there for follow up lol [14:16] LambdaFox, that would seem to indicate you're looking at the final frontier. [14:22] LambdaFox: xubuntu-core is not available for 14.04 [15:12] installing minimal install iso for 14.04, there is no "xubuntu minimal" software selection [15:13] letting the install proceed and getting to the initial prompt, apt errors trying to find ubuntu-re [15:13] oops ubuntu-core [15:14] installing software-properties-common results in the same [15:15] xubuntu minimal¿ [15:17] LambdaFox: you can just install xfce [15:17] !info xfce4 [15:17] xfce4 (source: xfce4): Meta-package for the Xfce Lightweight Desktop Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.10.1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 4 kB, installed size 31 kB [15:53] Using enigmail+thunderbird (in 15.04) brought up the following https://i.imgur.com/cIuDBBZ.png . gnupg2 is in the repos. Has anyone replaced gnupg 1.4.18 with gnupg2? Does one "replace" (delete and add) or simply add? Any known "gotchas"? [16:05] drc: you can install both [16:05] danke [16:07] It'll be interesting to see if t-bird+engmail+gnupg2 will automagically integrate. [16:08] you will have to point it to the gnupg2 executable [16:10] Actually it looks like it did automagically find gnupg2 https://i.imgur.com/k35KFvN.png [16:11] and the warning no longer appears. [16:13] I'm on xubuntu 14.04 LTS, XFCE. I hit some sort of hot key and now a) my desktop is slightly larger than my screen, b) when I move my mouse around, the desktop image (wndows, everything) moves shifts around in the opposite direction. [16:14] puff: Alt + scroll wheel [16:16] brainwash_: Ah, thanks! [16:16] brainwash_: Man that was annoying! [16:17] puff: most users discover this feature by accident :) [16:19] i installed the components of xfce and was able to update them using the dev ppa woo hoo. i will update my progress today on my forums post... [16:59] Hey guys, I'm running an older unsupported version of xubuntu (been on the shelf a while) and I'd like to upgrade it to a supported release. Any way I can do that without doing a reinstall with an ISO? I keep getting 'cannot contact server' messages when I try to update anything [17:00] what version [17:01] How do I check exactly? I have console window open but I don't know too much about those type commands [17:01] raring ringtail? [17:01] lsb_release -a [17:01] !raring [17:01] Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring [17:01] !upgrade [17:01] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [17:01] !eolupgrades [17:01] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:02] the last link if you wish to do it all online [17:05] ok, so it is possible to do this without downloading a new ISO? I can cahnge the sources list? [17:05] where do I find sources.list? [17:08] i get an upgrade option and then it vanishes o.o [17:08] I type root password, click accept, then upgrade and a window pops up and then vanishes [17:09] itpan: it's in /etc/apt/ [17:10] now that I think about it it't in 15.04...not sure in 13.04, but it's bount to be somewhere in /etc :) [17:10] i'm going to take it from 13.04 ro 13.10 and past I guess haha. [17:11] Interesting that the instructions don't say, maybe it changes from version to version? [17:11] update just errors out with: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'window_main [17:11] saying upgrade failed and there may be a network [17:14] itpan: It's going to be a pain to upgrade from 13.04 (assuming you solve this problem) Is there any reason that you dl and install a new iso? It would be so much easier :) [17:14] it'd just take freaking ages to download [17:14] I was hoping to skip the hassle of download, burn, and then install over just hitting update and leaving it alone for a few hours [17:15] It will take "freaking ages" to upgrade also. [17:15] itpan: now way...you' [17:15] ll have to upgrade to 13.10, then upgrade to 14.04, then..... [17:16] IN this case, I really would spend the time dl'ing...that way you should avoid all the :gotcha's" that might pop up. [17:17] * drc notes his eye/finger coordination is off today :( [17:19] itpan: You could also try the new xubuntu-core (~600mgb)...more work at the end adding and configuring, but less time dl'ing. [17:22] http://xubuntu.org/news/introducing-xubuntu-core/ try the iso linked at the bottom. [17:25] or, if dl'ing time is really that big a problem, you can try the mini-iso linked...but I'd suggest that only if you're sure you know what you're doing (no disrespect intended). [17:58] hello [17:59] I'm right now installing xubuntu, and followed a link i got in the installer. Can anyone tell me how to to find this chat back after installation? [17:59] tj88: It's #xubuntu on Freenode. [18:00] Use pidgin (It's the default app) + what krytarik said. [18:00] ok, thanks [18:01] I'll be back after installation :D [18:18] hello everyone [18:18] I've found the chat back :) [18:19] Well, now my question... I have a problem with my screen resolution. On my other computer I could solve it with the xrandr command, but on this computer i got no response when i enter that in terminal [18:20] does anybody know how i can find the right resolution for my notebook and apply it? [18:25] does anyone know where to start looking for a solution? [18:33] tj88: I have never had any resolution problems so I have no real help to give, but I'd start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution If you already know all this, sorry :) [18:35] well, than i still need the xrandr outcome... if i put that in the terminal, i get this: [18:35] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [18:35] Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480 [18:35] default connected 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm [18:35] 640x480 73.0* [18:39] thanks anyway, I'll take another look on the web... who knows there has been posted something new meanwhile [18:40] have a good day/evening/night whatever part of the world you may be [18:40] bye === Biliskner is now known as Drone` [20:38] I am disepointed for this bug still is not fixed the last year(s).
