| RockLobster | Hi, my girlfriend gave me her old laptop and the only version of xubuntu I had laying around was 12.04. I have no blank CDs or DVDs and no way of booting off of flash drive. Any way I can update to latest version without downloading the ISO? | 07:23 |

| RockLobster | Is there anybody out there? | 07:26 |

| jglauche | hello, I re-installed xubuntu on this computer two days ago, the latest LTS version. My Menu icon turns into a black square after a bit of usage - http://i.imgur.com/AqNUYOd.png | 09:28 |
| jglauche | any ideas? | 09:28 |
| jglauche | when I hover it with the mouse, it turns back normal | 09:28 |
| knome | so... which session are you using? | 09:30 |
| knome | and which theme? does this happen with all themes? | 09:30 |
| ochosi | i think that's a bug in the whiskermenu that was since fixed | 09:35 |
| ochosi | but it's likely that the fix hasn't been backported | 09:35 |
| jglauche | I think I found the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/1421786 | 09:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1397095 in xfce4-panel (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1421786 dragging applications in the task bar causes repaint errors" [Medium,Confirmed] | 09:39 |
| ochosi | yeah, or that one | 09:40 |

| xubuntu25o | hi | 17:26 |
| knome | hello | 17:27 |
| xubuntu25o | just wondering whats the easiest way to upgrade dist from a really old version ? | 17:28 |
| knome | define really old? | 17:29 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu25o, download .iso and clean install | 17:29 |
| ObrienDave | sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:29 |
| knome | ObrienDave, nnnope. | 17:29 |
| knome | ObrienDave, if really old means EOL, that won't work | 17:29 |
| xubuntu25o | i tried that command but its comes up missing saucy tar file | 17:31 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu25o, yep. too old for direct upgrade. you have to jump incremental upgrades via the EOL method or ... clean install. | 17:31 |
| xubuntu25o | am i going to have to do a reinstall rather than updating ? | 17:31 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade | xubuntu25o, depends on your pain tolerance. | 17:32 |
| ubottu | xubuntu25o, depends on your pain tolerance.: End-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/EOLUpgrades | 17:32 |
| knome | 13.10 gets to 14.04 LTS with one jump, so it's not so horrible | 17:32 |
| knome | but of course it depends if 14.04 is enough or if 15.04 is desired | 17:33 |
| xubuntu25o | 15 the current latest ? | 17:33 |
| ObrienDave | 15.04, yes | 17:33 |
| knome | 15.04 is the latest release, 14.04 is the latest LTS release | 17:33 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu25o, it is but only 9 months support. you strike me as an LTS user | 17:33 |
| ObrienDave | 14.04 is latest LTS release | 17:34 |
| xubuntu25o | :) | 17:34 |
| xubuntu25o | I am more of a if its not broke dont touch it lol | 17:34 |
| ObrienDave | then LTS is for you :) | 17:35 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu25o, LTS then. 5 years support --- well 3 years on xubuntu | 17:35 |
| xubuntu25o | thanks for the help I will follow the guide from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 17:38 |
| xubuntu25o | :) | 17:38 |
| ObrienDave | good luck | 17:38 |

| xubuntu34w | Hello all. I'm curious, is it normal / generally okay to reformat and do a clean install of xubuntu regularly? | 19:12 |
| xubuntu34w | Or should reformatting the HDD be avoided when possible? | 19:12 |
| butter_ | how often is 'regularly'? | 19:14 |
| xubuntu34w | Every few months. | 19:14 |
| bekks | You dont need to reformat at all. | 19:14 |
| xubuntu34w | 3-4 months. | 19:14 |
| bekks | No need to. | 19:14 |
| butter_ | is there a reasons you're doing it so often? | 19:14 |
| xubuntu34w | I haven't been doing it often actually, but I'm thinking of reinstalling Xubuntu to the LTS release. | 19:15 |
| xubuntu34w | I'm on 15.04 currently. Wouldn't the cleanest way to reinstall / switch OS versions be to reformat first? | 19:16 |
| bekks | So install the LTS and upgrade to the next one in 2019 :) | 19:16 |
| xubuntu34w | Correct me if i'm wrong | 19:16 |
| bekks | 14.04 is supported until 2019. | 19:16 |
| bekks | Backup your data, insert an installation CD, install it. | 19:16 |
| xubuntu34w | Ok, cool. I figured it would be better to reformat but I guess that's not necessary. | 19:17 |
| bekks | Forget about reformatting. Thats an urban legend not needed for twi decades at last now. | 19:17 |
| bekks | *least | 19:17 |
| xubuntu34w | So the installation software removes the previous OS without the need for any additional actions? | 19:18 |
| bekks | I you choose to do so, yes. | 19:18 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu34w, the installer will ask you if it is allowed to do so and you have to take the simple action to confirm | 19:19 |
| xubuntu34w | Thanks. So what exactly happens when I select the option to do so (remove the current OS)? | 19:19 |
| xubuntu34w | In terms of the HDD / partitioning | 19:20 |
| mrkramps | depends on your current partitioning | 19:20 |
| bekks | And depends on your choice on how to partition. | 19:20 |
| xubuntu34w | I have two partitions. One for 15.04 and a second for backup (not sure what thatt's called) | 19:20 |
| bekks | "a second partition for backups". | 19:21 |
| xubuntu34w | with the second partion being rather small | 19:21 |
| bekks | You'd better store backups on a second drive. | 19:21 |
| xubuntu34w | I usually backup onto an external HDD | 19:21 |
| xubuntu34w | (my back up has a backup) | 19:22 |
| mrkramps | that's good | 19:22 |
| xubuntu34w | Isn't there are auto option for partioning during the ubuntu install and also a customm option? | 19:23 |
| xubuntu34w | *there an | 19:23 |
| mrkramps | yes | 19:23 |
| xubuntu34w | Would you mind telling me what the auto configuration does | 19:23 |
| mrkramps | using the whole disk | 19:23 |
| xubuntu34w | Would you reccomend that? My HDD is only 500 gigs so I could use most if not all of the available space | 19:24 |
| mrkramps | there is no problem | 19:24 |
| mrkramps | but it will delete _all_ partitions | 19:25 |
| xubuntu34w | Shouldn't be a problem (considering the backup goes well) | 19:25 |
| mrkramps | yepp | 19:25 |
| xubuntu34w | Thanks mrkramps and everyone else | 19:25 |
| DMackey | Ok HOW does one get the eth0 network interface working? I set all the IP's in the 'network connections' But on '/etc/init.d/networking restart' or even a system reboot, the IP's never stick and I can't use the interface. | 22:38 |
| DMackey | ifconfig says it IS THERE, pulling my hair out here.. | 22:38 |
| DMackey | Wifi on same machine works perfect | 22:38 |
| knome | DMackey, interfaces need to be "auto" on the config if you use network-manager for connection management | 22:48 |
| DMackey | auto eth0 | 22:50 |
| DMackey | iface eth0 inet static | 22:50 |
| DMackey | address 192.168.1.1 | 22:50 |
| DMackey | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 22:50 |
| DMackey | gateway 192.168.1.1 | 22:50 |
| DMackey | This is what I have in etc/network/interfaces | 22:50 |
| DMackey | errr 192.168.1.133 for address | 22:51 |
| zippo^ | which app of touchpad can i best use? | 22:51 |
| zippo^ | i want more possible with touchpad | 22:51 |
| mrkramps | DMackey, maybe you need an additional dns-nameservers entry | 22:54 |
| mrkramps | same ip as gateway | 22:55 |
| zippo^ | who? | 22:59 |
| zippo^ | i ask about touchpad | 23:00 |
| knome | zippo^, i don't understand your question | 23:00 |

| knome | !nl | zippo^ | 23:01 |
| ubottu | zippo^: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl | 23:01 |
