| detoya | I was here a couple days ago asking about issues with xubuntu. I'm glad to say most of the issues I had on 14.04 appear to be resolved. However 16.04 is less stable on my hardware (Vaio SV-series i5 3210M IGP) The issues are: The text console locks up which is a serious problem, and same as in 14.04 the indicator plugin / notification area still loses app icons, this from a clean install. | 00:04 |
| detoya | New to 16.04, xdotool segfaults if used in tightvncserver, so if you are looking to do x automation you will be out of luck. | 00:05 |
| detoya | New to 16.04, xdotool segfaults if used in tightvncserver, so if you are looking to do x automation you will be out of luck. It may work in NX or xpra, or manye vnc4server or xnest... didn't test those. | 00:06 |

| detoya | overall it feels more responsive, boots faster, looks prettier, theme support and GTK3 support seem vastly improved. | 00:07 |
| detoya | for the love of god don't try to upgrade to 16.04 via apt-get dist-upgrade method. Your machine will not boot properly. Moving from upstart to systemd made dist-upgrade incompatible for this release. | 00:11 |
| xubuntu51w | I've tried dd and unetbootin. I'll give gnome-disk-imager a shot | 00:12 |
| detoya | you trying to make a bootable flash from an image? | 00:12 |
| xubuntu51w | yep | 00:13 |
| detoya | if dd didn't work you could try usb-creator | 00:13 |
| detoya | it's been removed from the new ubuntu but previous versions had it. | 00:13 |
| detoya | it will do an install to the USB drive then you can boot from it as a normal boot drive | 00:14 |
| detoya | from there your options are unlimited :-) | 00:14 |
| detoya | in my experience, dd just works. if your machine fails to boot from it with a UEFI BIOS it's probably because it's not looking for a USB boot device at all. | 00:15 |
| detoya | so try to find your early boot menu ,usually esc or F9 | 00:16 |
| xubuntu51w | Booting isn't the issue. | 00:24 |
| xubuntu51w | I can boot into the drive just fine, but xubuntu fails | 00:24 |
| xubuntu51w | it won't install, it won't load live mode anymore, etc. | 00:24 |
| xubuntu51w | I'm going to copy the error that appears | 00:25 |
| GeekDude | Sorry, it's gnome-disk-utility | 00:27 |
| GeekDude | Slip of the fingers | 00:27 |
| GeekDude | But yeah, dd should work | 00:28 |
| GeekDude | You should checksum your iso file and make sure it's correct | 00:28 |
| xubuntu51w | What do you mean by correct? | 00:30 |
| xubuntu51w | I got it directly from the xubuntu website | 00:30 |
| David-A | xubuntu51w: to rule out transmission error (if you used torrent and got the torrent from the xubuntu site, then it contains and checks sums automatically) | 00:32 |
| krytarik | !md5sum | 00:33 |
| ubottu | To 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_Windows | 00:33 |
| xubuntu51w | Thanks for your help everyone. I'll try these things soon | 00:44 |
| xubuntu25w | good morning everybody | 07:35 |
| xubuntu25w | I updated xubuntu 14.04 LTS today and two fingers scrolling stopped to work | 07:35 |
| xubuntu25w | the option disappears also in the settings panel | 07:36 |

| tyrog | Hi all. Can I customize Xubuntu's screensaver to look like something different? | 10:10 |
| tyrog | Instead of showing only black screen? | 10:10 |
| akxwi-dave | tyrog, You will have to install xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver to do that | 10:18 |
| tyrog | akxwi-dave: Can't do that by default? How do I set those screensavers instead of the default one? | 10:32 |
| akxwi-dave | unfortunatly for the last few releases there hasn't been any screensaver settings installed apart from the default one. To change it you will need one of the above. | 10:42 |
| tyrog | akxwi-dave: I see, tnx :) | 11:02 |
| tyrog | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1568604 Does anyone also face this bug here? | 11:07 |

| [diablo] | Afternoon #xubuntu | 12:43 |
| [diablo] | guys I've got 2 x monitors, and I'd like the upper panel to appear on the right monitor, not the left... | 12:44 |
| [diablo] | is this possible please? | 12:44 |
| Adelmo | ok | 12:44 |
| [diablo] | oh found it | 12:45 |
| [diablo] | stupid me :) | 12:45 |
| [diablo] | sorry | 12:45 |
| [diablo] | back again... guys with 16.04, my Radeon HD 6350 is shearing when moving windows around the screen... anyone know how to enable the v-sync please? | 13:27 |
| xubuntu14w | Tried to install X Ubuntu 16.04. From CD minimal and DVD full and it installs but when you get to the point of restarting the system for the first start up all I get is a blank screen. Any ideas on what I did wrong? | 14:11 |
| Mr | Hey, I have got a g-sync laptop but there is not g-sync option in nvidia-settings. Has anyone have had experience with this? I am using no compositor/ have disabled the compositor on xubuntu | 14:25 |
| xubuntu83w | Hi. Is there a reason why ruby is installed when I install vim? | 20:18 |
| xubuntu83w | was not the case befoe | 20:18 |
| xubuntu83w | before | 20:18 |
| Pici | xubuntu83w: because vim depends on libruby now. | 20:20 |
| Pici | for ruby scripting support, I would assume. It also has always depended on libpython for python scripting support, but you pretty much always have that installed alreadyy. | 20:21 |
| buu | Alright | 20:29 |
| buu | What magic incantations do I need to make my networking restart with my edited settings? | 20:29 |
| buu | network-manager | 20:30 |
| buu | Brilliant | 20:30 |
| Unit193 | buu: Generally 'sudo systemctl restart network-manager' if you want to restart NM. | 20:37 |
| buu | thanks | 20:37 |
| buu | Now for the next trick, how do I change the dpi? | 20:37 |
| GeekDude | I've been testing the latest LTS desktop release and it seems fairly alright so far. However, there's so much extra padding everywhere! In the context menus for the indicator plugin, in the menu bar on mousepad, and I'm sure it's in other places I haven't noticed. Is there a way I can make it go away? | 21:20 |
| GeekDude | hmm, seems to be a numix thing | 21:25 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| GeekDude | It looks like mousepad is doing something weird too that makes it not work with xfce4-topmenu-plugin | 22:35 |
