[10:10] <JennyBlueBird> Hi! Is there any way I can kil/stop/disable the GUI programs or session startup scripts from overriding my mouse configuration in xorg.conf?
[10:11] <JennyBlueBird> It works as expected on the login screen, but I use mouse config settings ( speed, constant decelleration ) that I can't configure through the GUI , and it overrides it when I log in
[10:37] <xubuntu74w> Hello! My Xubuntu 15.10 (all updates/upgrades applied) is taking a long time (100 seconds+) displaying the splash screen during boot. It wasn't always like this, but now it is... and I didn't install any weird program, but I used Boot Repair in a live USB. My hardware is a Dell Inspiron 14R 5421. Thanks!

[10:45] <knome> !pastebin | xubuntu74w
[10:45] <meridel> Does anyone has an idea of why my fonts are messed up ? I tried to change options like Hinting and it's a bit better, but not perfect... can someone please tell me if there is a solution ?
[10:46] <knome> meridel, define "messed up"?
[10:46] <meridel> Oh yeah sorry
[10:46] <meridel> So, some letters have the bad habit to disappear ^^
[10:46] <xubuntu04w> Well I couldn't post the entire output
[10:46] <meridel> Without hinting, it is worse: white, black and invisible letters are mixed
[10:46] <knome> !pastebin | xubuntu04w
[10:46] <Unit193> xubuntu04w: That looks fairly normal, so it looks like something else then.
[10:46] <knome> meridel, which font are you using?
[10:46] <meridel> It doesnt change anything when I change the font
[10:47] <xubuntu04w> Here we go: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15586954/
[10:47] <meridel> (Droid Sans for now, tho. It's better with it.)
[10:47] <meridel> (By better I mean less invisible letters ^^)
[10:48] <meridel> This is pretty weird
[10:49] <knome> meridel, which graphics card are you using?
[10:49] <meridel> GTX 750Ti, and i'm gonna check for the manufacturer
[10:51] <meridel> I installed the non-free drivers
[10:52] <knome> did it work before that?
[10:52] <meridel> Nope :/
[10:52] <meridel> And it didn't change anything
[10:53] <meridel> Do you want any screenshot ?
[10:54] <knome> i did a quick search and people who have reported it seems to believe it's a problem with the graphics card...
[10:54] <meridel> :/ drivers or card itself ?
[10:54] <xubuntu04w> SO what can I do people?
[10:54] <knome> the drivers...
[10:54] <meridel> ^^'
[10:54] <meridel> Well do you have any idea of what I could do ?
[10:55] <knome> i haven't seen this happen myself, so not really i'm afraid
[10:55] <meridel> Aw... well, thanks for your time anyway
[10:55] <meridel> I'll continue searching
[10:55] <knome> np, good luck
[10:55] <xubuntu04w> Hello, I'm still here :D
[10:56] <xubuntu04w> With my very long time in splash screen during boot!
[10:56] <knome> xubuntu04w, we've seen your question; if somebody knows the answer or can help you with it, they will likely reply
[10:57] <xubuntu04w> Please help, I need to eat something
[11:00] <meridel> Maybe I should try to install drivers from unstable repos
[11:00] <meridel> Risky tho...
[11:04] <Unit193> xubuntu04w: Got a log of what boot-repair did?   Could check fstab, make sure grub is installed normally, etc but those are just shots in the dark.
[11:04] <xubuntu04w> Yes.
[11:04] <xubuntu04w> Just a second
[11:06] <xubuntu04w> the last three were: paste.ubuntu.com/15576020 ; paste.ubuntu.com/15576338 ; paste.ubuntu.com/15576963 (latest one)
[11:10] <xubuntu04w> As you can see I was trying to use EFI
[11:10] <xubuntu04w> But I couldn't. SO I returned to Legacy
[11:11] <xubuntu04w> My Xubuntu 15.10 dual boots with a Linux Mint XFCE 17.3
[11:12] <xubuntu04w> Mint is also taking a long time to boot now, but not quite as much as Xubuntu
[11:12] <knome> so you used boot-repair to try to use EFI, and after that the boot has been slow?
[11:13] <xubuntu04w> I couldn't boot at all after trying to follow boot repair instructions to use EFI
[11:13] <xubuntu04w> So I used it again but differently
[11:13] <xubuntu04w> I followed its instructions for legacy
[11:13] <knome> but the slowness came after using boot-repair?
[11:13] <xubuntu04w> Yes
[11:14] <xubuntu04w> Immediately after
[11:14] <xubuntu04w> I've been struggling with this since yesterday
[11:15] <Unit193> Remove 'quiet splash' to see where the hangup is, but note the lines at the bottom regarding sda1.
[11:15] <xubuntu04w> How can I do this? I forgot the commands.
[11:17] <Unit193> At the grub prompt, e to edit and remove those two options, pressing F10 (IIRC) afterwards.  It gives you notes at the bottom of the screen at least too.
[11:17] <xubuntu04w> How to access the grub prompt?
[11:18] <Unit193> The one where you select Xubuntu or Mint.
[11:19] <xubuntu04w> So am I going to remove all options with "quiet splash" in them?
[11:19] <xubuntu04w> So am i going to reboot in order to accomplish this?
[11:20] <xubuntu04w> And then take a photo of the notes?
[11:21] <Unit193> They're unimportant, they're there to tell you what keys to hit.  Afterwards it'll give you output while it boots rather than just showing a picture.
[11:24] <xubuntu04w> Ok, then let's see if I understand: I'm going to reboot now, and when the menu where I select Xubuntu or Mint appears, I'm going to press some button to edit options and then I'll try to find any options containing 'quiet splash', and then I'll remove them and then press f10.
[11:24] <xubuntu04w> And then I'll boot again and come here to chat.
[11:24] <xubuntu04w> Is that all or am I missing something?
[11:24] <Unit193> Then pay attention and see exactly where it hangs up.  Well, F10 will *continue* booting.
[11:25] <xubuntu04w> When it hangs up, is it good to take a pic with my smartphone?
[11:25] <xubuntu04w> Maybe my memory fails :P
[11:41] <xubuntu16w> Hello! I rebooted and payed attention, I took some pics
[11:41] <xubuntu16w> It hangs up during " A start is running for dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device
[11:42] <xubuntu16w> A start job*
[11:42] <xubuntu16w> Followed by a similar message but more extensive
[11:42] <xubuntu16w> and then back to that
[11:42] <xubuntu16w> DO you want me to upload the pics somewhere?
[11:43] <Unit193> Did you mean to have encrypted swap?  And could be handy, sure.
[11:44] <xubuntu16w> I don't have any swap partition anymore, it was giving bugs... so this is weird
[11:44] <xubuntu16w> Where can I upload?
[11:44] <xubuntu16w> I deleted the swap partition using gparted some days ago
[11:44] <xubuntu16w> :P
[11:45] <Unit193> That's not going to help, it's still in your /etc/fstab.
[11:45] <xubuntu16w> Then is it the culprit?
[11:45] <xubuntu16w> For both xubuntu and mint?
[11:45] <xubuntu16w> I suspected since the start the swap continues giving me headaches
[11:45] <xubuntu16w> :(
[11:46] <xubuntu16w> What can I do?
[11:47] <Unit193> 1. Re-create the swap partition.  2. As a workaround comment out the line in /etc/fstab (and maybe /etc/crypttab, depending.) but generally a good idea to have it.
[11:47] <Unit193> !swap
[11:48] <xubuntu16w> What size does it need to be
[11:48] <xubuntu16w> And can I create just one for both xubuntu and mint?
[11:48] <Unit193> Yes.  Eh, used to be they'd say about the same size as the ram you have.
[11:54] <xubuntu16w> Ok it's created
[11:54] <Unit193> Check the UUID and change /etc/fstab to reflect that.
[11:54] <xubuntu16w> How can I do those things?
[11:55] <xubuntu16w> I'm so noob lol
[11:55] <Unit193> `blkid`
[11:55] <bekks> sudo blkid -g; sudo blkid
[11:56] <xubuntu16w> do I need to copy paste it for you to see?
[11:57] <bekks> xubuntu16w: you need to pastebin it and provide the URL. But you need to see it, since you need to edit your /etc/fstab
[11:58] <xubuntu16w> https://paste.ubuntu.com/15587354/
[11:58] <xubuntu16w> What now
[11:58] <Unit193> bekks: In case you missed, there's a commented entry for that in there, and uncommented one for cryptswap he needs to remove (something in crypttab too then likely)
[11:59] <bekks> Unit193: So its pretty clear what he needs to do then, I guess.
[12:00] <Unit193> Mhmm.
[12:02] <xubuntu16w> Now, to fstab. How can I access and edit that?
[12:02] <xubuntu16w> Is that the next step?
[12:23] <Unit193> xubuntu16w: Copy the UUID over the other one in fstab, and make sure the line is uncommented.  Also make sure the cryptswap line is commented.
[12:28] <xubuntu16w> ok
[12:28] <xubuntu16w> but i dont know hot access fstab
[12:28] <xubuntu16w> :<
[12:28] <xubuntu16w> how to*
[12:29] <Unit193> It's a file, so pkexec mousepad /etc/fstab
[12:30] <Unit193> Also pastebinit /etc/crypttab too.
[12:33] <xubuntu16w> I don't know what to edit. Look how fstab and crypttab look: https://paste.ubuntu.com/15587575/
[12:34] <xubuntu16w> Fstab is weird
[12:44] <xubuntu16w> I was thinking about removing line 15 and editing UUID of line 13 and uncommenting it
[12:44] <xubuntu16w> Is that?
[12:45] <Unit193> Comment/remove 14 too, and remove the line in crypttab.
[13:18] <xubuntu16w> ok
[13:20] <xubuntu16w> in crypttab I just need to remove the line, making the file blank?
[13:20] <xubuntu16w> Nothing to edit or add?
[13:20] <xubuntu16w> That's what I did :P
[13:32] <meridel> Hum
[13:32] <meridel> I solved my problems \o
[13:36] <xubuntu16w> Unit193 ?
[13:36] <Unit193> xubuntu16w: Yes?
[13:36] <xubuntu16w> In crypttab
[13:36] <xubuntu16w> besides removing the line
[13:36] <xubuntu16w> anything more to do there?
[13:37] <meridel> Hum... does anybody knows why Ubuntu doesnt detect my second screen ? Even with xrandr... :/
[13:37] <Unit193> Nope, that's all I said for that one.
[13:37] <xubuntu16w> the file is blank not ext at all
[13:37] <xubuntu16w> text*
[13:37] <xubuntu16w> okay
[13:37] <xubuntu16w> so I'll reboot, okay?
[13:37] <xubuntu16w> or any other step before rebboting?
[13:39] <Unit193> Lastly: sudo update-initramfs -c -k all
[13:41] <xubuntu16w> The output of this was only update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-34-generic update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.2.0-16-generic
[13:42] <xubuntu16w> nothing more
[13:42] <xubuntu16w> can I reboot now?
[13:43] <Unit193> Yep.
[13:43] <xubuntu16w> k, I'll come back in some minutes (hopefully less hehe)
[13:47] <xubuntu03w> sniff sniff :'( splash screen keeps going for more that 120 seconds
[13:47] <xubuntu03w> Unit193 it's me
[13:48] <xubuntu03w> I don't think it worked at all.. issue remains
[13:48] <meridel> Can anyone help me ? :3

[19:22] <krixvar> Hi all, is it possible to use xfconf-query to change a panel's autohide to always hide? When I set it to true it makes it use intelligent autohide instead
[19:24] <krytarik> krixvar: Change it via GUI, and then check what it's set at?
[19:26] <krixvar> krytarik: Thanks, I hadn't thought of that - it sets it to 2, so I had to change the parameter to say I was using an int rather than boolean value
[19:28] <krixvar> I've been tinkering with keyboard shortcuts too, and was trying to figure out two things - is it possible to make a command to move a window from one screen to another in a multi window setup? And is it possible to turn on the switch workspaces on dragging a window only while holding a specific key combination?
[19:31] <krytarik> krixvar: For the first, look into 'wmctrl'; and afaik the second isn't possible.
[19:32] <krixvar> krytarik: Awesome, I'll take a look.
[19:33] <krixvar> That's what I figured - xfce would launch the script I was trying multiple times if I held the shortcut, and I didn't seem to be able to actually drag a window while holding. I'll just use two shortcuts for toggling then (unless its possible to have one command toggle rather than set to an explicit value?)
[19:38] <krytarik> krixvar: Well, there is a '--toggle' option for 'xfconf-query', if that's what you mean - http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/xfconf-query
[19:42] <krixvar> krytarik: perfect, I missed that before
[21:36] <phanes_> anybody seeing network route issues in xubuntu 14.04?
[21:37] <phanes_> ive got two nics and cant get a reliable connection to my lan on any imaginable combination of settings and honestly ive never seen anything like this -- it 'should' be talking to the router
[21:37] <phanes_> i got banned in #ubuntu trying to find out so please go gentle
[22:01] <bazhang> try ##networking phanes_
[22:02] <phanes_> i am honestly relatively convinced that this is a bug somewhere in the network stack specific to this distro after troubleshooting but i am in there as well
[22:02] <phanes_> it appears to be a route issue but i suspect something deeper
[22:02] <bazhang> do you have a link to the bug or have you filed a bug yet
[22:03] <phanes_> as we've now tried multiple NICs, all of which today ive since tested in Fedora 23, Debian, Ubunty Wily and now Ubunty Trusty, with the only issue in the two ubuntu releases
[22:03] <phanes_> not yet, im not really sure what to put in a bug report at this stage
[22:04] <phanes_> i will be happy to file one if thats what it ends up being
[22:55] <phanes> yeah, this is not a networking issue we appear to be looking at either a deep routing configuration issue or a network stack bug specific to ubuntu/xubuntu
[23:23] <skywhale> xfwm does not support vsync - which wm works with xfce that does?
[23:24] <Unit193> skywhale: Did you look in Window Manager Tweaks → Compositor?  And if you did actually try that, just disable the compositor on xfwm and use compton.
[23:35] <skywhale> Unit193: compo off solves fullscreen vsync problems and perf, but breaks flash and desktop tears, hmm
[23:41] <Unit193> skywhale: OK, and I presume "sync to the vblink" is checked.
[23:44] <skywhale> yup (using fglrx)
[23:44] <skywhale> kwin works fine, but not with xfce, hmm
[23:45] <Unit193> OK, to compton!  Xubuntu ships some default example config.
[23:50] <skywhale> Will have to try that.
[23:53] <Unit193> BTW, Xenial doesn't have fglrx, it's not needed anymore.
