| sparr | The brightness hotkeys on my Asus X551 don't work in Xubuntu. They didn't work in Ubuntu with Unity or XFCE either, but these instructions fixed it there and not now: http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ | 04:09 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | well, they are all ubuntu, at the core, and i think you'll find the main difference is, the updated base.. from 13.10 to 15.04.. is that what you are trying? 15.04? | 04:10 |
| sparr | I was using Ubuntu 15.04 and am now using Xubuntu 15.04. | 04:11 |
| sparr | I did make different selections during install for proprietary drivers and downloading updates during the install, so perhaps there's something there that distinguishes the two situations. | 04:11 |
| holstein | right.. and, you were not able to make it work in *any* 15.04, correct? | 04:12 |
| holstein | i would expect needing the proprietary drivers.. | 04:12 |
| holstein | though, the guide you link, references an intel driver.. | 04:12 |
| sparr | it worked fine in Ubuntu 15.04, running Unity and XFCE, after I made the changes recommended that link | 04:17 |
| sparr | making the same changes in Xubuntu 15.04 has no apparent effect. | 04:18 |
| holstein | well, its challenging to say what the changes you have, locally, but, xubuntu *is* ubuntu 15.04 with xfce | 04:19 |
| holstein | so, did you have a different proprietary driver running in main ubuntu 15.04? vs, your current xubuntu 15.04 install? | 04:19 |
| sparr | I don't know. Not intentionally. | 04:22 |
| holstein | sparr: sure.. maybe confirm that you are using the same kernel modules you are needing to add for that functionality to work | 04:25 |
| sparr | I don't know which kernel modules those are. | 04:26 |
| holstein | sparr: the proprietary drivers you referenced | 04:26 |
| sparr | I'm looking now and I don't think there are any proprietary drivers for the intel graphics card or backlight | 04:28 |
| holstein | sparr: there shoudlnt be.. but, you referenced, "i did make different selections during install".. and, that could be the difference that is holding you up.. what are those settings? | 04:30 |
| sparr | i think there were two of them | 04:30 |
| sparr | one was "download updates during install" | 04:30 |
| sparr | the other was "install proprietary drivers" maybe? | 04:30 |
| holstein | right.. but, thats not going to get you different software | 04:30 |
| sparr | there aren't a lot of checkboxes in the installer | 04:30 |
| holstein | just updated.. after you update, you'll have the same result | 04:30 |
| holstein | see that you have all available upgrades | 04:31 |
| sparr | I think I have done that | 04:32 |
| holstein | cool.. just check, and see.. | 04:32 |
| holstein | you can simply open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 04:33 |
| sparr | aha! I think I made this change last time, but not this time: http://askubuntu.com/a/603980/4739 | 04:34 |
| sparr | gonna try rebooting after making that change | 04:34 |
| sparr | no dice | 04:37 |
| holstein | well, if the shortest path is, install main ubuntu, make keys work, and install xfce.. that is xubuntu, basically | 04:39 |
| sparr | not really | 04:39 |
| sparr | there's a lot of Unity stuff left running in the background that way that is very annoying | 04:39 |
| sparr | aha, got it! | 04:43 |
| sparr | had to add acpi_osi= to the grub options, and remove the acpi_backlight=vendor that another guide had told me to add. | 04:44 |

| vrkalak | o/ | 05:40 |
| kuzorra | Can anyone help me with some power management issues I'm having in a freshly installed 14.04? | 05:40 |
| kuzorra | HDD spin down can not be selected.... | 05:41 |
| kuzorra | ....hdparm can spin it down manually, but it doesn't work with a given time limit | 05:41 |
| kuzorra | It's a Western Digital Blue 640GB SATA drive, but spin down used to work until I made a fresh install yesterday | 05:42 |

| winsux | is it possible to run update-manager in a ssh session without a gui? just typing update-manager gives me gtk errors that it cannot open a display | 08:18 |
| koegs | winsux: just package updates or updating ubuntu to a new version? | 08:26 |
| winsux | i want to just update packages if there are any updates. with update-manager i mean the software updater | 08:27 |
| winsux | it is called update-manager in the shell | 08:27 |
| koegs | "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will do the same job | 08:28 |
| winsux | 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' this will upgrade the distro (i.e. xubuntu current.version to xubuntu x.x) right? that is not what i intend to do | 08:31 |
| winsux | i read that the software-updater and apt-get are two different things. i.e. software-updater will list updates that you can't get with apt-get | 08:31 |
| koegs | thats not true | 08:37 |
| koegs | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will update all installed packages, not xubuntu itself | 08:38 |
| winsux | i think you are right, issuing dist-upgrade gives me many packages | 08:42 |
| winsux | is it possible that i can break things with dist-upgrade rather than using software updater? | 08:43 |
| koegs | it basically does the same thing, but you can never know if you have regressions with updates (although unlikely) | 08:44 |
| winsux | okay. thank you for your help | 08:45 |

| knob | Good morning! | 12:03 |
| knob | Hey guys, I have Xubuntu laptop (4cores, 4gb, ssd). I installed VirtualBox, and setup a Windows8 machine in there. All is good, except when the Xubuntu host is going to "lock screen". I don't know if it is because the entire ssd and my home folder is encrypted, yet the Xubuntu machine sometimes completely hangs. | 12:09 |
| knob | Any idea what could be going on? | 12:09 |

| Luke | How to solve this error ? | 12:43 |
| Luke | Failure to download extra data files | 12:43 |
| Luke | The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed. | 12:43 |
| Luke | ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 12:43 |
| Luke | The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet connection. | 12:43 |
