| Akif | How to remove xubuntu as dual boot with windows? | 10:25 |
| Akif | do I just expand from windows the partition over xubuntu? | 10:25 |
| Akif | installed new SSD and switching my dual boot there, keeping only windows on the old hard drive | 10:25 |
| elfy | so you want to keep xubuntu on the ssd | 10:26 |
| Akif | I dont have it on ssd yet | 10:26 |
| Akif | only windows | 10:26 |
| Akif | but I have windows/xubuntu dual boot on old hard drive | 10:26 |
| Akif | I dont need the xubuntu there so I'm removing it | 10:26 |
| Akif | but yeah, gonna install it on this ssd at some point | 10:27 |
| elfy | right - so remove the partition and then install to SSD, if you remove BEFORE you even have the ssd - then you'll need to reinstall the windows booloader I would expect | 10:27 |
| elfy | personally in that situation I would wait until I could do it all at once | 10:28 |
| Akif | sorry, I didn't kinda get it | 10:28 |
| elfy | :) | 10:28 |
| Akif | so I remove the xubuntu partition from windows | 10:28 |
| elfy | that makes no sense to me | 10:29 |
| elfy | if you remove the existing xubuntu - you have to deal with the bootloader - which will then have to be the windows one | 10:30 |
| elfy | when you later install xubuntu to the ssd - then it will install grub again | 10:30 |
| Akif | so I should first somehow change to bootloader to the default windows one? | 10:30 |
| elfy | yes - with whatever windows install/restore media you have | 10:31 |
| Akif | I see | 10:31 |
| Akif | I'll try the "repair" option from my windows 8.1 USB stick | 10:32 |
| elfy | I guess - no idea I'm afraid | 10:32 |
| elfy | plenty of windows help out there on that | 10:33 |
| Akif | yea, but thanks! | 10:33 |
| elfy | welcome :) | 10:34 |
| elfy | https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-mbr/#Fix_the_MBR_in_Windows_8_or_81 | 10:35 |
| elfy | as I said - personally I'dwait till I had the ssd for xubuntu and then not worry about that | 10:36 |
| Akif | alright | 10:37 |
| Zerkalerka | Hey I deleted the default panel that comes with xubuntu, is there a way to get it back? Just purge the panel package and reinstall? | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, you know what you deleted? reinstall it. | 11:25 |
| Zerkalerka | Yeah I created some of my own panels, deleted the default, but my indicator plugin doesn't show FCITX anymore | 11:37 |
| Zerkalerka | so my FCITX is all messed up and no longer shows the table when I type in other languages | 11:37 |
| Zerkalerka | was working fine until I deleted the default panel | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, what version of *buntu? | 11:37 |
| Zerkalerka | xubuntu 15.04 | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 11:38 |
| cfhowlett | that'll bring the default xubuntu packages | 11:38 |
| Zerkalerka | kk let me try it | 11:38 |
| Zerkalerka | just says xubuntu-desktop is already installed | 11:39 |
| Zerkalerka | i don't need to reset everything :P just the panel | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, sudo apt-get install xfce4 | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | desktop environment | 11:40 |
| Zerkalerka | could i just remove xfce-panel and reinstall that? | 11:40 |
| Zerkalerka | xfce4-panel | 11:40 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, "could"? I thought you DID | 11:40 |
| Zerkalerka | haha no, I mean in the panel properties | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | dpkg -l | grep xfce* will list your packages | 11:41 |
| Zerkalerka | i just deleted the default panel that comes inside , then created my own panels | 11:41 |
| Zerkalerka | i didn't remove the package | 11:41 |
| Zerkalerka | just when I was customizing the panel :P | 11:41 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, panel. so you didn't remove packages | 11:41 |
| Zerkalerka | yeah, cause the indicator plugin no longer works properly | 11:42 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, removing and reinstalling xfce-panel will not restore your panels but ... | 11:42 |
| cfhowlett | nuclear option incoming | 11:42 |
| Zerkalerka | and it makes it so the FCITX no longer works | 11:42 |
| Zerkalerka | FCITX is the language input | 11:42 |
| Zerkalerka | love nuclear options :P | 11:42 |
| cfhowlett | delete your .hidden xfce configurations. logout/logiin and it'll go back to factory fresh. | 11:43 |
| Zerkalerka | ahh good idea | 11:43 |
| Zerkalerka | they should be in home directory right | 11:43 |
| Zerkalerka | errno | 11:43 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, yeah. You could go all out and delete all hidden .folders and .files | 11:44 |
| brainwash | only delete ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml | 11:45 |
| brainwash | and probably the content of ~/.config/xfce4/panel too | 11:45 |
| cfhowlett | ^^^^ Zerkalerka ^^^^ | 11:46 |
| Zerkalerka | ok | 11:46 |
| Zerkalerka | then after that remove and install the xfce4-panel package to get default config back? | 11:46 |
| brainwash | no, relog | 11:47 |
| Zerkalerka | kk | 11:48 |
| Zerkalerka | brb | 11:48 |
| Zerkalerka | ok perfect that worked great, very strange though.. I relog in and FCITX is in the panel again.. and after about 3 seconds it just vanished | 11:51 |
| brainwash | can you restart it manually? | 11:55 |
| brainwash | the session log file may contain some hint | 11:56 |
| brainwash | look at ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log | 11:56 |
| Zerkalerka | oh nice | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | restarting it | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | worked | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | i wonder if thats all I needed to do to make it work in the first place.. | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | looool | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | never even thought of that | 11:57 |
| Zerkalerka | thank you for the help... was just having brain freeze on how to fix | 11:58 |
| brainwash | maybe some race condition on session start triggers this behavior | 11:58 |
| Zerkalerka | yah cause now in the settings of FCITX I can click on appearance and it allows me to edit it.. where as before it just said Kimpanel did not exsist | 11:59 |
| brainwash | FCITX does not seem to be widely used among Xubuntu users, so I haven't seen a bug report about such an issue yet | 12:00 |
| Zerkalerka | ohh everyone still using dbus? I thought I read something where in 15.04 xubuntu switched to fcitx | 12:00 |
| Zerkalerka | err ibus | 12:01 |
| brainwash | you mean ibus | 12:01 |
| brainwash | neither | 12:01 |
| brainwash | xubuntu got rid of ibus in 14.04 | 12:01 |
| brainwash | without a real replacement | 12:01 |
| someone235 | Hi, I followed this guide: http://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:HOW-TO:Set_up_audio_over_HDMI_on_nVidia_GeForce/nForce_controller but now I can have sound only on hdmi. Someone knows how to fix this? | 12:02 |
| Zerkalerka | ohh makes sense | 12:03 |
| Zerkalerka | ok thanks brainwash and cfhowlett | 12:03 |
| cfhowlett | Zerkalerka, happy2help! | 12:03 |
| brainwash | someone235: I suggest that you ask in #alsa and/or #pulseaudio | 12:03 |
| brainwash | someone235: there may be a working solution with pulseaudio | 12:05 |

| pie_ | How can I make boot faster? | 17:34 |
| baizon | pie_: which version of xubuntu? | 17:39 |
| baizon | with 15.04 and systemd my boot process is twice as fast :) | 17:39 |
| baizon | and my shutdown is 0.7 sec | 17:40 |
| pie_ | hm, how do i make bootchart run? :/ | 17:43 |
| pie_ | hm i think i got it | 17:45 |
| Unit193 | sudo systemd-analyze plot > system.svg | 17:46 |
| pie_ | ah | 17:47 |
| pie_ | oh right this is systemd now... | 17:48 |
| pie_ | oooooh boy | 17:48 |
| Unit193 | Or just do a systemd-analyze blame. | 17:49 |
| pie_ | and how do i figure out what I need to speed up...? | 17:50 |
| sunrunner20 | so, whenever I try to boot the latest LTS version of the ubuntu live cd on this machine it hangs at a black screen after GRUB | 20:32 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 20:32 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 20:32 |
| sunrunner20 | is there a list of troubleshooting steps/a way to show whats goin on | 20:32 |
| holstein | thats where i start.. ^ GPU driver | 20:32 |
| sunrunner20 | i'll give it a whirl | 20:34 |
| holstein | i'll also simply try the different versions, live.. 15.04, for example.. and note kernel versions and drivers.. etc | 20:34 |
| sunrunner20 | be back in a bit | 20:36 |
| sunrunner20 | no dice holstein | 20:59 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: ? | 20:59 |
| sunrunner20 | nomodeset didn't help | 20:59 |
| sunrunner20 | neither did any of the acpi options | 20:59 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: are you saying, you tried nomodeset with the 14.04 live iso? and you still have a black screen? | 21:00 |
| sunrunner20 | yup | 21:00 |
| sunrunner20 | i see two lines of console text flick past too fast to see then nothing | 21:00 |
| holstein | anyways, depending on your history with that particular device, i would be checking that the hardware works.. i would test the memory, and see the GPU working in an officially supported OS | 21:00 |
| holstein | thenb, i might try installing the server version, or mini version | 21:00 |
| sunrunner20 | i'm talking on that machine now :) | 21:00 |
| holstein | !mini | 21:00 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 21:00 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: sure, its just that, as a volunteer in the channel, i dont know what you are talking on, friend.. so, i can only give you suggestions.. | 21:01 |
| holstein | do with them what you want | 21:01 |
| sunrunner20 | didn't mean it that way | 21:01 |
| sunrunner20 | i'll look into the gpu some more though | 21:01 |
| holstein | but, *if* you are satisfied that the hardware is not "broken", then, i would move on to getting *something* installed, and then, i could implement the vesa driver, if needed | 21:01 |
| holstein | your hardware doenst promise linux support, likely, so you can have a challenge in some cases implememting it | 21:02 |
| holstein | before i went too far, i would just try some live iso's. | 21:03 |
| sunrunner20 | i've tried fedora's as well | 21:03 |
| sunrunner20 | same issue | 21:03 |
| holstein | 15.04 has completely different drivers, and kernel.. | 21:03 |
| sunrunner20 | lemmie burn that then | 21:03 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: sure.. but, what im saying is, note the kernel version, and drivers.. | 21:03 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: you *could* have likely tried the *same* linux.. in fedora and ubuntu | 21:04 |
| holstein | trying *different* drivers, in different kernels *can* in some cases support the hardware | 21:04 |
| holstein | could be, a proprietary driver is available that you can install from the terminal, after installing the OS, if you want to share what GPU hardware you have.. maybe a volunteer can parse if that is possible.. | 21:05 |
| sunrunner20 | its a gtx 960 | 21:05 |
| sunrunner20 | and I think that is the issue | 21:05 |
| sunrunner20 | forum post says nomodeset worked for them :\ | 21:06 |
| sunrunner20 | though "nouveau.blacklist=1" as a grub paramter might be part of it | 21:08 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: try iut | 21:09 |
| holstein | it* | 21:09 |
| holstein | sunrunner20: that *is* the issue as i see it.. your graphics hardware is not supporting linux | 21:09 |
