[04:09] 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/ [04:10] 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? [04:11] I was using Ubuntu 15.04 and am now using Xubuntu 15.04. [04:11] 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. [04:12] right.. and, you were not able to make it work in *any* 15.04, correct? [04:12] i would expect needing the proprietary drivers.. [04:12] though, the guide you link, references an intel driver.. [04:17] it worked fine in Ubuntu 15.04, running Unity and XFCE, after I made the changes recommended that link [04:18] making the same changes in Xubuntu 15.04 has no apparent effect. [04:19] well, its challenging to say what the changes you have, locally, but, xubuntu *is* ubuntu 15.04 with xfce [04:19] so, did you have a different proprietary driver running in main ubuntu 15.04? vs, your current xubuntu 15.04 install? [04:22] I don't know. Not intentionally. [04:25] sparr: sure.. maybe confirm that you are using the same kernel modules you are needing to add for that functionality to work [04:26] I don't know which kernel modules those are. [04:26] sparr: the proprietary drivers you referenced [04:28] I'm looking now and I don't think there are any proprietary drivers for the intel graphics card or backlight [04:30] 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] i think there were two of them [04:30] one was "download updates during install" [04:30] the other was "install proprietary drivers" maybe? [04:30] right.. but, thats not going to get you different software [04:30] there aren't a lot of checkboxes in the installer [04:30] just updated.. after you update, you'll have the same result [04:31] see that you have all available upgrades [04:32] I think I have done that [04:32] cool.. just check, and see.. [04:33] you can simply open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [04:34] aha! I think I made this change last time, but not this time: http://askubuntu.com/a/603980/4739 [04:34] gonna try rebooting after making that change [04:37] no dice [04:39] well, if the shortest path is, install main ubuntu, make keys work, and install xfce.. that is xubuntu, basically [04:39] not really [04:39] there's a lot of Unity stuff left running in the background that way that is very annoying [04:43] aha, got it! [04:44] had to add acpi_osi= to the grub options, and remove the acpi_backlight=vendor that another guide had told me to add. === mnepton is now known as mneptok [05:39] Good morning everyone! [05:40] o/ [05:40] Can anyone help me with some power management issues I'm having in a freshly installed 14.04? [05:41] HDD spin down can not be selected.... [05:41] ....hdparm can spin it down manually, but it doesn't work with a given time limit [05:42] It's a Western Digital Blue 640GB SATA drive, but spin down used to work until I made a fresh install yesterday [05:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community [08:18] 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 [08:26] winsux: just package updates or updating ubuntu to a new version? [08:27] i want to just update packages if there are any updates. with update-manager i mean the software updater [08:27] it is called update-manager in the shell [08:28] "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will do the same job [08:31] '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] 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 [08:37] thats not true [08:38] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will update all installed packages, not xubuntu itself [08:42] i think you are right, issuing dist-upgrade gives me many packages [08:43] is it possible that i can break things with dist-upgrade rather than using software updater? [08:44] it basically does the same thing, but you can never know if you have regressions with updates (although unlikely) [08:45] okay. thank you for your help [10:01] hello, i am not able to see auto ethernet option in network settings, I have ethernet and Wireless both but having problem while connecting to ethernet [10:01] I am on Xubuntu15.04 [11:05] Why UNSUPPORTED UPDATES is checked by default? [12:03] Good morning! [12:09] 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] Any idea what could be going on? [12:13] Hi guys, I have a problem with firefox 39 in Xubuntu 14.04. It is crash every 5 minuts [12:14] it is on many mashines (~50) === Guest66062 is now known as dazm === max12345 is now known as Guest34505 [12:43] How to solve this error ?
