| holstein | are you using xubuntu 15.04? | 00:07 |
| xubuntu58w | hello, can someone help me? | 04:23 |
| holstein | xubuntu58w: only one way to find out.. ask, and a volunteer may assist.. | 04:23 |
| xubuntu58w | Well, this is not particularly xubuntu related, but ubuntu related. On LXLE, I installed LXDM. Rebooted and it worked well, but I didn't like it, so I removed it (sudo apt-get remove lxdm). Now the computer is stuck on a booting screen for 10+ minutes | 04:24 |
| holstein | xubuntu58w: lxle should have a support channel.. since its not ubuntu, its not supported here.. | 04:26 |
| holstein | you can try the recovery kernel, and get to a terminal, and see what you can do.. sudo apt-get update is a good start | 04:27 |
| holstein | address those errors.. then, see that the file system, hard drive, and ram.. etc.. are as they should be.. | 04:27 |
| xubuntu58w | well, I can't even boot into the desktop, it's stuck on startup | 04:28 |
| xubuntu58w | could I do that from a live boot? | 04:28 |
| holstein | xubuntu58w: the recovery kernel is *before* the desktop, friend | 04:28 |
| holstein | a "live boot" would let you do some of those things.. test the memory, and the hard drive, and address file system errors.. | 04:29 |
| xubuntu58w | could I somehow do a sudo apt-get update from the liveusb? | 04:29 |
| holstein | xubuntu58w: sure.. its *all* open, so, you can pretty much "somehow" do whatever you like. but, its not trivial to chroot in like that, and its not a "fix" for that issue, so, i dont suggest wasting time on that | 04:30 |
| holstein | xubuntu58w: i say, plan for when that hard drive completely fails, as it will some day, and back up your data, first.. then, you can try lxle support, or try xubuntu | 04:31 |
| xubuntu526 | anyone there | 05:08 |
| xubuntu526 | need a little help | 05:09 |
| holstein | just ask, maybe a volunteer can assist, xubuntu526 | 05:09 |
| xubuntu526 | my os aint booting aways stuck at black screen | 05:10 |
| xubuntu526 | in live cd now | 05:10 |
| holstein | !fsck | 05:10 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 05:10 |
| holstein | i would test my hardware, and my file system, and backup my "important" data.. | 05:10 |
| xubuntu526 | thanx mate | 05:11 |
| holstein | if it used to work, and now it doesnt, then what changed? an update? do i have an older kernel in my grub list that i can choose? is grub showing? | 05:12 |
| poetpiet | kfce power management page shows a box -- 'handle display brightness keys' which has no equivalent in the one for 14.04 ... unless i can't find it ... for now i can only use those keys after spin up, before system choice .... my nick at gmail ... and have a nice one ... it's my 57th birthday .. i'd like to perfect my control today more than ever of course ..

| xubuntu77w | Hello together, I have a big problem. I am on xubuntu 12.04 LTS. Want to Update my software. but it doesn't work! not even wget works...but i can surf with my browser... | 11:43 |
| xubuntu77w | command is "aptitude update" but even there, aptitude can't download the new signatures | 11:44 |
| xubuntu77w | if I use wget it tells me "Length: not specified" and the downloaded document is always the same size of an html document | 11:45 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu77w, change software settings to "LTS release only" | 11:45 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu77w, and you NEVER update your OS with wget | 11:45 |
| xubuntu77w | only wanted to download some other file and then I got the same problem with wget ... wanted to mention that | 11:46 |
| xubuntu77w | update via "aptitude upgrade" | 11:46 |
| Cargo23 | Hello... I went to log into my xubuntu (14.04, just got some updates yesterday) laptop this morning and it wouldn't accept my password. Not sure what else it could be, I rebooted, now it won't accept the password to decrypt the filesystem. I have changed term's and verified that the keyboard is producing the correct password.. but either I've lost my mind entirely, or somehow password processing is broken. Is that a thing? | 11:57 |
| knome | Cargo23, doesn't sound a known issue | 11:59 |
| knob | Hello everyone. I installed Xubuntu (latest) on a laptop, from scratch. All good... yet I would like to access the "disk partition tool" that Ubuntu has bundled. I don't know the name of the utility. | 12:18 |
| knob | I do have it on my other computer, because that one I upgraded from Ubuntu to Xubuntu... | 12:19 |
| knob | I would like to install that disk utility... any insights as to what its name is? | 12:19 |
| knob | Or another utility you might suggest as an alternative? | 12:19 |
| Cargo23 | knob, if you can run it on your other computer, you should be able to sort out what its name is there? | 12:23 |
| knob | Cargo23, yes... thing is, the other computer is physically away... | 12:26 |
| knob | Yet I am installing now gparted... from the screenshot, I believe that is the one. | 12:26 |
| knob | =) | 12:26 |
| knob | btw, good morning! :-) | 12:26 |
| Cargo23 | Good Morning to you, too | 12:28 |
| Cargo23 | So, for some reason it seems my laptop stopped accepting both my user password and the cryptfs passphrase. As I'm sitting here trying things, I'm noticing that about 1/4 reboots lead to a blank screen. I wonder if there is a deeper hardware/software thing going on, but if that were true, seems odd that it could function well enough to even prompt for the passphrase. | 12:31 |
| Cargo23 | Question: Are these related: "ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)" AND "Unlocking the disk /dev/disk/by-uuid/...... (sda5_crypt)" ? | 12:34 |
| Cargo23 | ata5 ~= sda5? | 12:35 |
| designbybeck | Greetings all, does anyone using Xubuntu use multiple languages with it? Like switch between say English and Spanish? | 14:03 |
| GridCube | havent tried but its possible | 14:09 |
| designbybeck | GridCube, I was going to try eOS but they seem to have a bug in their latest release with language. I'm trying to setup some computers that will be used for a Spanish speaking only group. I myself don't speak spanish, but some volunteers I have coming do. Was trying to make it easy to switch between languages for them | 14:11 |
| designbybeck | These are mostly older dell desktops and laptops less than 3gb ram | 14:11 |
| designbybeck | most with just 1gb ram | 14:11 |
| designbybeck | I had problems booting any Linux on a few of them | 14:11 |
| GridCube | designbybeck: i dont see why it should not work | 14:19 |
| GridCube | but again i just use it in spanish | 14:19 |
| designbybeck | GridCube, do you use Xubuntu 14.04? or up to 15.05? | 14:31 |
| designbybeck | err 4 | 14:31 |
| GridCube | right now im on 15.04 | 14:36 |
| GridCube | home im on both 14.04 and 15.04 | 14:36 |
| holstein | if its older hardware, for other folks, i'll try the LTS, release.. | 14:40 |
| designbybeck | thanks holstein, I'm going to try Xubuntu 14.04 32bit on these and see how they handle it | 14:41 |
| holstein | i'll find, if i have a pile of hardware i dont know much about, in many cases, the hardware can be broken | 14:49 |
