[00:20] xangua: :) I started getting a blue tooth indicator in my indicator plugin in Panel. Can blue tooth start be disabled? ie: not how to hide the icon but not to have the process start in the first place? [00:39] hello, I just did a clean install of 16.04 and have removed a few default applications: parole (which I replaced with VLC) and pidgin (which I simply never use). I did so by using the command sudo-apt get purge package. Is this the best way to completely remove default apps? [00:39] yes [00:39] Does the purge command remove all packages and dependencies? [00:40] no [00:40] you need autoremove to remove dependencies [00:40] Well, my intention is to completely remove the software [00:40] you probably won't find many though [00:40] Can I still use the autoremove command although I've already purged? [00:40] yes it is a separate command [00:41] Got it [00:41] you have to purge first otherwise there will be no unused dependencies [00:41] So I should purge and follow with the autoremove command when I uninstall software? [00:42] yes [00:42] if you want [00:42] alright thanks [00:42] there is no benefit to uninstalling software, unless you are really limited on disk space [00:42] Just tried autoremove, but get the notification that 'parole' is not installed, so not removed [00:42] you don't specify a package with autoremove [00:42] I see [00:43] How is autoremove different from autoclean? [00:43] maybe you can and it will remove that package and all dependencies [00:43] but i never used it like that [00:43] clean/autoclean is for cleaning up the package cache [00:43] the downloaded files. not the installed files [00:44] look in /var/cache/apt [00:44] it is for cleaning that [00:44] checking now [00:45] Don't see anything related to either parole or pidgin in that folder [00:48] But anyway, what lead me to beleive that the applications were not completely removed is that parole is listed in 'settings editor' on the left hand menu [00:49] Is it safe to run the autoremove and autoclean commands regularly to maintain the system? [00:50] Or is there a potential to remove system files that are needed [00:50] theoretically it is safe [00:51] but bugs happen [00:51] should I use sudo or no [00:51] when running those [00:51] it wont work without sudo [00:52] got it [00:52] I've been told that, unlike windows, ubuntu requires no defraging [00:53] windows doesn't require defragging either [00:54] Oh, I assumed it was considering windows OS' have the disk defrag utility [00:54] they tried to remove it and people complained [00:54] interesting [00:54] buy an ssd if drive speed is a problem [00:55] It's not an issue, I was looking into an SSD but my I have a decent warranty with my machine so I can replace the hdd if it fails for free [00:56] So i'll likely just wait to get an SSD when I get a new laptop [00:56] *but I have [00:56] Plus xubuntu is super fast to begin with [01:13] on startup, the bluetooth icon appears in my panel (but I don't have bluetooth). How can I stop it from appearing? [01:23] Is there a system app for changing what launches on the panel? There's no way to remove it from the indicator plugin settings [01:51] Okay, *almost* everything works after the update. The mouse pointer seems to disappear when I unlock it, but changing the pointer shape (by typing a bit in the Whisker menu and pointing around) seems to get it back... [01:52] Does anyone use wmctile? [02:00] hi [02:26] is xubuntu 16.04 visible for anyone on the software updater? for me (14.04) it just says I can upgrade to 15.10 [02:27] xubuntu38w: For LTS releases, it won't prompt until .1 [02:28] does that mean I should upgrade to 15.10 so I can go to 16.04? [02:39] Not usually, no. [03:18] Still trying to find people to help me use wmctile to auto-tile windows using xfwm4 [03:18] No one uses wmctile? https://github.com/mreq/wmctile [03:18] Anyone here know ruby? [03:32] Where is the config file where my keyboard shortcuts in Xubuntu are stored? [03:33] They're not in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml or /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml [03:36] Hello, is anybody get successfully upgrading to 16 from 15 ? [03:38] Ah, found it... It's in .config of course [03:39] I haven't tried it yet personally [04:21] I've been using the Xenial beta of Xubuntu for a while, and saw the release today. However, I can't update - "sudo apt update" tells me W: Failed to fetch http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NOSPLIT' (does the network require authentication?)" [04:22] Will I have to wipe and reinstall from CD? [04:27] As in, it's pretty much a throwaway system that I was just testing the beta, and wondering whether I'm better off just downloading a fresh release CD [05:33] Hi there. I have a Dell D600 that I just put xubuntu 16.04 on but I cannot get my wifi up and running. My Broadcom card has PCIid of 14e4:4324 and installed the firmware-b43-installer and rebooted but still nothing. Any help on next steps would be appreciated... Thanks! [05:35] I also ran the following commands sudo modprobe -r b43 sudo modprobe b43 sudo rfkill unblock all per a ubuntu post I found that appeared to be authoritative. [06:43] Yey, im successfully upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04 LTS 😀/ device: HP ProBook 440 [06:58] Hello. When I run the Software Updater, it tells me a new version is out.

So ideally i would like a tool to set icons dynamically for windows, a command line tool would be great (i already use [07:55] 16.04 is a crap for now. [08:10] hi! could someone enlighten me abit, i got this new monitor yesterday, i connected it and it works as its supposed to (got another screen connected aswell they both work) However i cant change wallpaper on my new screen, its like the old screen is still mounted or something, how do i get past this?

I know, I did it before but I keep forgetting how ... :-/ [10:38] max12345: the oneliner in Step 1 in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure is a real gem :-/ [10:40] ewet, ok I might try that one myself then [10:41] max12345: please don't, that was sarcasm! [10:41] oh because it just deletes all configs? [10:43] mostly because it does an `apt-get` (pretty much re-installing ubuntu) and then the same one with `-y` after that. [10:44] ewet, oh that one, hehe I thought the one earlier, I didn't really read it... it's just something I found. [10:47] Hello. When I run the Software Updater, it tells me a new version is out. But when I click on upgrade and type my user password, the window/application simply disappears. Anyone has encountered this behavior before ? [10:48] awesome. it magically appeared. I did nothing™ [10:48] well, my sound problems are fixed then :) *shakes head* [10:49] ewet, that has been my experience with sound control too [10:49] or things remain unfixed [10:50] it's schroedinger's pulse audio :) [11:12] Hi! could someone help me with this please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321334&p=13474471#post13474471 its so freakin annoying [12:23] Hi, I've installed xubuntu 16.04 then tried to change themes. I've downloaded some new themes then extracted and copied the folder to /usr/share/themes but can't find them in "appearance" program. But i can see them in "window manager" [12:23] can anyone help me plz? [12:32] xubuntu93w: wait for a while, someone might help you but I dont know much about it. [12:32] xubuntu93w, if the themes are window manager themes only, then they shouldn't appear under appearance [12:32] okay :) [12:32] Thanks @pavlushka [12:33] xubuntu93w: well, thank knome ,:p [12:35] ok, I guess xfwm4 are window manager theme only ? [12:35] yes [12:47] Software center not opening on Xubuntu 16.04. Wi-Fi not working on Xubuntu 16.04. [12:50] Reptilia, have you filed bugs? [12:50] knome:Nope [12:50] "reporting" on this channel isn't useful [12:53] knome:Was thinking that it's a known issue and that there might be a quick fix. [12:53] if it was a known issue, it would have been mentioned in the release announcement/notes, which you have surely read? [12:53] anyway, are you referring to the ubuntu software center? [12:54] gnome software replaced that in 16.04 in both ubuntu and xubuntu, and i don't know if the USC should work at all any more [12:54] on "wifi doesn't work", we'll need details like your wifi adapter to be able to even start debugging [13:01] knome:Yup, i meant the new "Software" app. [13:01] It won't even execute. [13:02] knome:Intel Centrino Advanced 6200-N [13:03] knome:Actually, it loads, but it is not working at all (Search is not returning results, icons are missing, there is nothing that is click-able, etc.) [14:08] hey, I was trying to install 16.04 but at the end of the installation I faced this: the 'grub-efi-ia32' package failed to install into /target/. without the grub boot loader, the installed system will not boot [14:08] how to I solve this problem? [14:35] hi [15:01] Hello everyone! [15:01] Just upgraded to 16.04 [15:02] So far, so good... got an odd bug where the pointer (mouse) disappears from screen. It moves, and highlights and clicks, yet I can't see the pointer itself. [15:20] knob, seems to be one of the known issues described in http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-16-04-release/ [15:23] thc202, checking that link out now! [15:23] thanks [15:23] hmm... mouse just re-popped up [15:23] wth [15:24] When returning from lock, the cursor disappears on the desktop, you can bring the cursor back with Ctrl+Alt+F1 followed by Ctrl+Alt+F7 [15:24] nice nice =) [15:24] :) [15:25] the only other thing I've seen... is that in panel, I always added some items. Like the Workspace... yet one of the "items" is missing. [15:25] There is the CPU [15:25] wait... scratch that. I am babbling... it's right there. [15:26] Instead of the "CPU Graph" item, I use the "System Load Monitor" item. [15:26] Hmm... I think it's in a 16.04 VM from scratch that I don't see the "System Load Monitor" item. Confirming in a sec... [15:27] Nope... it's also there. Scratch all the my lasts 5 sentences. Everything is as it should be. =) [16:53] hi folks! When I click on “Sound Settings” in the indicator sound applet nothing happens. Any package I have to install for it?

[17:22] GeekDewd: for mugshot [17:22] not generally [17:23] ah, ok [17:24] The webcam on my laptop doesn't work correctly in 15.10 anyways, so I'm not overly concerned [17:28] Hello?

[20:20] is anyone else having an issue with the mouse pointer dissapearing randomly? [20:20] I [20:21] I'm on 16.04, the only fix is to log off and back on again [20:24] Tried going to disable 'unknown display' in my system settings, but there is no unknown display. So the issue is caused by something else [20:26] xubuntu08w: no - the only fix is NOT to do that [20:26] read the release announcement in the topic [20:27] xubuntu08w: unless of course - you are actually seeing this randomly - in which case that's a new issue [20:28] Well, when I log in it is visible (it currently is). However, after some time it will become invisble, though it still functions. This doesn't happen every time I use my machine. [20:29] xubuntu08w: so this is not after screen lock? [20:30] It may occur after locking the screen. I haven't made that connection. [20:30] xubuntu08w: well that IS a known issue - with intel graphics [20:30] please check :) [20:31] Checking now [20:32] the solution listed works [20:32] just tested [20:32] thanks, sorry I missed that release note, I just briefly glanced over them [20:33] lol [20:33] yeah my bad haha [20:34] Hi i got 2 monitors connected, they both work. but the main one i cant set desktop wallpaper etc on, in settings editor only the 2nd screen shows up.

I tried installing google-chrome.deb by double-click, and it popped up looking very oddly from how I remember in previous releases. Plus, the install button didn't work. Anyways, I ended up using dpkg and apt-get to satisfy the dependencies. [23:55] GeekDewd, USC is deprecated, since 16.04 Gnome Software is used [23:56] Ah. That's probably why it looks nothing like USC [23:56] what do i need to do to fix this [23:56] uofm49426: You can specify that parameter in /etc/default/grub [23:56] hi guys, im here in the install CD. During install, will xubuntu format BOTH hard drives, or just one? /dev/sda is the one I want to format and install, and /dev/sdb is one i dont want the installation to touch [23:56] then run the update-grub utility after editing /etc/default/grub [23:57] my question is for if i choose to have xubuntu do it automatically [23:57] The line you'll need to change is GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [23:57] rather than myself [23:57] i dont do this in 15.04 why does it do this now [23:59] uofm49426: Your hardware could be becoming deprecated, though I can't really say for certain why it's doing what it's doing
