[05:17] <BiDi_> Not sure if this is the right place to be, but I am having trouble after installing Win7 Pro and xubuntu 14.04 in a dual boot arrangement. It seems that the installation of xubuntu has stopped Windows Update from working (other than that, both OS's seem fine)
[05:18] <cfhowlett> BiDi_, nothing in ubuntu would stop a windows update.  look elsewhere
[05:20] <BiDi_> Well, the things is it's happened twice now. Complete re-install of everything (both OS's). Windows is fine until I put xubuntu on the disk. So, it's that action that is suspicious.
[05:21] <cfhowlett> BiDi_, I understand what you say but .. if windows boots correctly then the issue is with windows.  NOTHING in ubuntu would prevent windows from updating
[05:25] <BiDi_> OK, perhaps this is the wrong place. I don't think that ubuntu is preventing Windows from updating, I think that the action of installing ubuntu has done something.
[05:25] <ObrienDave> only if it's a UEFI issue
[05:26] <ObrienDave> but i seriously doubt that. they require separate partitions. no way to interfere
[05:26] <cfhowlett> BiDi_, if windows can BOOT then the two are unrelated.
[05:27] <BiDi_> No, it's an older machine. No UEFI.
[05:27] <cfhowlett> BiDi_, ask ##windows what's going on?
[05:30] <BiDi_> Yeah, I bet they'll blame linux ! I have tried various Windows fix-it tools without success (same problem, they try to find updates and wait forever). I am inclined to blame the home router, but can't see how the act of installing xubuntu affects that either. Oh well, I guess I will begin to reinstall everything for the 3rd time :-(
[05:32] <ObrienDave> when did you reboot the router last?
[05:32] <BiDi_> Thanks anyway!
[05:32] <cfhowlett> BiDi_, you know you must register windows to update?
[08:22] <xubuntu818> hello everyone

[14:11] <sjoshi> Hello, I am not able to change image in  about me? it still displays the older image during login screen.. any help?
[14:11] <sjoshi> I am on xubuntu 15.04
[14:13] <holstein> sjoshi: what have you tried? did you try "Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face" ?
[14:14] <holstein> have you tried going to "Application->System->Administration->About Me" and clicking on the image?
[14:14] <sjoshi> holstein: nope, I am js following the UI process, clicking that image and changing it to another one
[14:14] <sjoshi> holstein: there its showing me the new image, but on login screen its shows me the older one only
[14:14] <sjoshi> i mean in mugshot..
[14:15] <holstein> sjoshi: look and see if you have a "~/.face", and if not, you can try creating one for that
[14:15] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/47186/is-there-a-way-to-change-user-picture-in-xubuntu-and-actually-display-it-on-log
[14:15] <sjoshi> holstein: there is a file named .face as you have mentioned
[14:16] <holstein> sjoshi: cool.. i would backup what is there, and create a file that is the *same*, that has the image i want there, and see if the changes apply to the login screen..
[14:20] <sjoshi> ok let me try this...
[14:21] <sjoshi> Now i am doubting the size of the image is big thats why its not able show it onthe login screen
[14:21] <sjoshi> i have assumed that mugshot has this intelligence to trim to the size it needs
[14:21] <holstein> sjoshi: i would, personally, just backup the image that is working.. the one that is there.. make a copy, open it up in GIMP, and use it as the template for putting the one i want on there
[14:22] <sjoshi> agree, doing
[14:22] <holstein> sjoshi: im sure, you can file a bug for "mugshot" in this case.. or, it could also be a "feature"..
[14:29] <sjoshi> holstein: Let me reproduce it will file it sure, thanks for support
[14:29] <sjoshi> your support*
[18:29] <vista__> Hey, I am having some trouble after upgrading to 15.04
[18:29] <vista__> I haven't had this problem on 14.10
[18:29] <vista__> Basically, if I intensively use my wireless connection (e.g watching a stream in high definition)
[18:30] <vista__> I just 'lose' the WiFi signal to my AP
[18:30] <vista__> as in, I can connect to another AP just fine, but my AP no longer shows up in the list and manually connecting to it doesn't work either
[18:30] <holstein> vista__: sometimes, i have to choose "connect to hidden" and choose my AP
[18:31] <vista__> That's what I tried, it didn't find it that way either
[18:31] <holstein> not sure what triggers it.. not HD vid playback..
[18:31] <vista__> Here comes the weird part
[18:31] <vista__> to get it back on the list / be able to connect to it
[18:31] <vista__> I have to use the physical WiFi on/off switch on my laptop AND do ifconfig wlan0 down && ifconfig wlan0 up
[18:31] <holstein> anyways, at this stage, i would just try 15.10, if i think, or find its driver related, and 15.10 supports it "better". since, 15.04 is just supported for 3 more months..
[18:31] <vista__> doing either does not help
[18:32] <holstein> i used to think i needed to reboot..
[18:32] <holstein> anyways, im not sure for me if its driver related.. etc..
[18:32] <vista__> dmesg says:
[18:32] <vista__> wlan0: disassociated from f8:1a:67:34:f6:ba (Reason: 7)
[18:34] <holstein> i would probably just check and make sure my routers firmware is up to date, since thats just good practice, and flash that, if needed.. and make sure i have the latest updates for ubuntu.. "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[18:35] <holstein> then, personally, if this is something im going to have to address, i do it in 15.10, since, i would get 9 months of support.. rather than fixing it in 15.04, now..
