xubuntu22wis anyone there?06:02
cfhowlettxubuntu22w, don't ask that question.  ask your support question.06:02
xubuntu22wI have 15.04 running on a laptop. For the most part things work well, but I've continually been struggling with a black screen after logging in, unlocking the screen saver or switching users. I was able to fix the problem for a while but now it is back with a vengence. Any suggestions on how to correct this problme?06:04
cfhowlettxubuntu22w, screensaver?  xubuntu recommends removal of screensaver.06:05
xubuntu22wWhen this happens I have to do a hard reboot, Ctrl+Alt+F1 2 3 4 what ever doesn't help06:05
xubuntu22wthere is no screen saver, whatever is there by default06:06
xubuntu22wwhen the screen locks it goes black06:06
xubuntu22wwhen I hit a key I get a login prompt, after logging in it goes black again, more than 50% of the time06:06
cfhowlettxubuntu22w, dpgk -l | grep xscreensaver               xscreensaver is known to conflict with lightlocker06:06
xubuntu22wI assume you ment dpkg, there is no screen saver retruned from that command06:08
xubuntu22wthough in lightlocker settings it has a section that says lock the screen when screensaver is activated, don't know if that is an indicator of part of the problem06:09
cfhowlettxubuntu22w, I was specifically referencing item #1  http://xubuntu.org/news/5-things-to-do-after-upgrading-from-12-04-to-14-04/06:15
xubuntu22wThis was a fresh install of 15.04 there is no xscreensaver06:21
xubuntu22wI literally hear crickets...06:35
parlabanewhat does one use in xubuntu to format and repartition a hdd... been looking through the menus and can't seem to find anything06:51

parlabaneso it doesn't come with like a disks. porgram like the ubuntu does ?06:53
brainwashxubuntu22w: I suggest that you actually disable/remove light-locker and install xscreensaver instead08:58
xubuntu79dhas anyone here had trouble starting xubuntu after the 15.04 update?11:00
knomexubuntu79d, why don't you ask about your problem so people can potentially help with that?11:01
xubuntu79dOK - the only way I can start xubuntu is to hold shift down, then select recovery mode. Then I can select from the menu to resume a normal startup and it works.11:02

xubuntu80wargh. Xubuntu installer ate my encrypted partition. no warnings were given. :(16:09
xubuntu80wIt feels kind of crappy that an issue for this was opened nearly 6 years ago and yet this is still a problem. :( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-crypto/+bug/42008016:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 420080 in partman-crypto (Debian) "Configure encrypted volumes destroys existing data" [Unknown,New]16:10
xubuntu80wand also as someone has posted from links in at least one of the few bug reports: this is as easy to check for as looking for "LUKS" as the first few characters of the drive. :( :(16:11
xubuntu80wI would have expected something like: "This already looks like an encrypted partition, are you sure we want to destroy all of your data?"16:11
xubuntu80w(and it kills the data before hitting next. argh.)16:11
holsteinxubuntu80w: did you have backups?16:12
xubuntu80wof course not, hahahaha. :( :(16:14
xubuntu80wso everything is gone. this is just a "woe is me, I know my data is gone"16:14
xubuntu80wholstein: the next question you'll probably ask is: "will you have backups now that you were burnt?" /me nods16:14
holsteinouch.. im sorry to hear that.. in the future, i say, just try and keep up with best practices on that kind of thing, as much as possible..16:15
xubuntu80wI do for all servers. this was just my desktop. Not really anything that important there. still sucks to lose all my bookmarks and such.16:15
holsteini just assume, any installer, or partitioner could break things. but, its becuase i had a similar experience with another OS years back..16:15
xubuntu80wat the point when everything was half broken and I was undergoing the attempt of "wow my system is screwed up from 14.10 -> 15.04, let me reinstall Xubuntu over the previous"16:16
xubuntu80wI should have done backups at that point16:17
holsteinwell, sounds like that happened..16:17
holsteinanyways, sorry to hear you lost data..16:17
xubuntu80wer, I mean of course earlier. but definitely at that point16:17
xubuntu80wholstein: do you know how the installer gets baked into xubuntu? it feels like this should at least be fixed so it doesn't happen to me or others in the future. :-/16:18
holsteinxubuntu80w: AFAIK, this will not be specific to xubuntu or xfce..16:19
xubuntu80wI think Ubuntu uses a slightly different installer16:20
xubuntu80wbut yes, Kubuntu for instance probably also uses (ubiquity?)16:20
xubuntu07dHi. I have a simple question. Where do I find the checksum to verify my download? I been searching the website but can't seem to find it.16:54
GridCube!checksums16:55
GridCube!checksum16:55
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows16:55
GridCubealso xubuntu07d if you open any of the mirrors you get a lot of files containing all sorts of sums, http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/xubuntu/releases/15.04/release/16:57
xubuntu07dthat's great! thanks!16:58

tgm4883running 15.04 here on my laptop. Occasionally when I resume from standby, after login I'll get a blank screen (without backlight as well). Pointers on where to start looking at this?23:23
tgm4883switching to TTY1 works fine23:23
Unit193Are you using late locking/23:25
tgm4883late locking?23:28
Unit19315.04 uses light-locker, which has a feature called 'late-locking'.  I believe the claim of that is less problems with black screen bugs, but alas I don't know much on this topic.23:29
Unit193(I don't use light-locker.)23:29
tgm4883I've not setup anything like that I think, but I'll take a look23:29
