JesuwopeIt is really stumping me00:01
JesuwopeI even tried putting the slider to 50 minutes, and still it does things the same way00:01
JesuwopeI was AFK only about 20-30 minutes just now and it was locked screen when I came back00:01
JesuwopeIs it a bug or am I doing something wrong... or neither one, or what?00:01
JesuwopePlease help.00:01
JesuwopeI can't listen to music with it locking the screen00:01
Jesuwopewell it shut off when i set it to one minute, so probably it was working right when i set it to 50 minutes... but the never part of it.. no good00:03
JesuwopeI changed it again.  I put 5 hours and something under the "action" part00:04
JesuwopeI'll test it now00:04
Jesuwopeoh well00:04

koegsno need to create a new user07:13
Slit_I got offline..07:13
Slit_Create new user and then...07:13
koegsusermod is able to change the name of the current user07:14
Slit_Ok koegs... how should I do that?07:15
SlitI get offline again... the last thing was changing name using usermod...07:18
koegsSlit: sudo usermod -l newname oldname07:21

starkillerIm need help :P09:59
knomejust ask; if somebody knows the reply, they'll likely reply09:59
knomeknows the *answer*10:00
starkillerWell my battery was low one day, and the computer turn off, After that everytime i shutdown even with the command line it takes me to the loggin screen. :(10:02
starkillerYea im gonna come back another time :P10:17
quantibiliymouse disappears after hibernation of sleep...?12:26
knobGood morning12:47
knobWhen I boot up my Xubuntu installation, I get "Welcome to emergency mode!"...   I load X with  systemctl default....   yet this is driving me crazy already.12:49
knobWondering what I can do to fix it.12:49
LovichAnyone ever experienced a black screen after waking the computer?13:02
knobLovich, not me... I mean, sometimes she's black, yet kind of stuck in "blank screensaver".  Move the pointer, and off she goes.13:04
LovichUnfortunately mine requires a restart :x13:05
knomeLovich, which xubuntu version are you running?13:08
Lovich14.04 LTS13:09
LovichTrying to decide if I'd be better off with xorg than fglrx for development purposes, and light gaming.13:14
LovichAMD drivers seem to be the cause of a lot of problems13:15
knomeLovich, if the open drivers work without problems and the performance is fair/good enough for you, i'd use them13:17
knomeLovich, but if you can get a good performance bump up with the closed drivers (and really need it), or they would fix some problem you're having, then i'd use the closed drivers13:18
LovichDoes Nvidia generally have better support for linux?13:19
knomei've had more problems with amd than nvidia on linux, personally13:20
knomeand am using nvidia since ages on my desktop13:20
knomethe closed drivers are generally pretty good, but i don't know how well the open alternatives really work since i haven't been running nouveau on a daily basis13:20

malinusI have some ancient (raring) xubuntu version. Obviously the raring package are not on the servers anymore. Do I just change "raring" to some more recent version and update&&upgradE?19:12
holsteinmalinus: not really19:15
holstein!eolupgrade19:15
ubottuEnd-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/EOLUpgrades19:15
holsteini mean, you can, but, its not supported, and will likely break something19:15
malinusreading trough the first link, that's exactly what they say I should do.19:17
holsteingo for it19:17
holsteinhave "good" backups, regardless19:17
holsteinwhat do i do? i just backup, and fresh install.. usually takes less than 20 minutes. i find any sort of upgrading takes me about 4+ hours..19:18
malinusThis reminds me why I use rolling releases now :P19:18
holsteinyup.. ubuntu is not a rolling release19:18
malinusyeah19:18
holsteinone *can* use the LTS versions, which, cleanly upgrade to each other19:18
holstein12.04, to 14.04, to 16.04.. for example19:18
malinusI wonder how much this upgrade breaks :D19:19
malinusOther than the ppa stuff, which obviously always break.19:19
holsteinplan for complete breakage, since, you should have backups19:19
Pwnnahow supported is upstart in 15.04?19:21
Pwnnai know you can boot into it with init=upstart or something like that19:21
malinusI would be suprised if any of the non-software related files actually be removed.19:21
Pwnnai have a lot of scripts in /etc/init, etc/pm.d etc19:21
Pwnnaporting will take way too long..19:21
malinusBy the way, have ubuntu switched to systemd yet?19:22
Pwnnayes..19:23
Pwnnain 15.0419:23
malinusAnd I assume the new debian will launch with it too?19:24
malinusoh wait, jessie is now stable19:25
malinusWorld is going too fast19:25
holsteinPwnna: should be as simple as, reading up on it, and implementing it19:27
holsteini might start here.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers and drill down, as needed19:28
holsteinyou can go upstream to #ubuntu and the relevant mailing lists, since, its not specific to xubuntu or xfce19:29
Pwnnaholstein: takes time..20:08
Pwnnaholstein: i have to rewrite those scripts and Q/A them before deploying.20:08
holsteini suppose one doenst *have* to.. but, changing the defaults can take effort, for sure20:09
ballYay, there's a Xubuntu channel.20:53
knome!ot | ball, we have several channels:20:53
ubottuball, we have several channels:: #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!20:53
ballThanks knome20:56
ballI've just experimentally installed it on a test rig at the office.20:57
knomenice to hear - enjoy :)20:59
ballWe used to run it on my daughter's desktop PC. She'll probably be getting that back again soon.21:03
