zombienerdI upgraded to 16.04 yesterday from 14.04.  No issues until about 20 minutes ago when I adjusted the master volume in pavucontrol.  Since then, my Volume notification bubble will not go away.  It keeps popping up, disappearing for 2-3 seconds, then returning.01:26
zombienerdI returned the pulse volumes to normal, but the dang bubble just decided it likes its new home.01:27

CubeyHello. I am have an odd problem getting a Xubuntu disc (any, actually, new or old version) to boot up on an old Dell workstation. It shows the loading screem but then boot loops02:49
CubeyAt first I thought it was the used graphics card I bought today since it does show colored lines on some screens like BIOS but not all. might be the monitor support or something. i booted a Win 7 disc and it loaded to the GUI  for installation fine, so I don't think it's the graphics card02:56
Cubeyhmm, ok maybe it is the video card to some degree. they sold it to me with a 30 day warranty (a local area store) but the card has written on the black plastic part over the fan, in black marker "BAD GPU/RAM?" i guess they didn't see that03:35
Cubeytoo bad03:35
CubeyI tried putting new thermal compound but it hasn't helped, still has the lines03:35
CubeySo, I'll take it back next week when I'm up that way again.03:36
Cubeyhuh, funny how Damn Small Linux boots and looks fine.  guess i'll try xubuntu again03:37
Cubeyhuh! I got ubuntu already on an ol HDD install to boot up finally03:55
Cubeyand now won't again. haha04:01
Cubeyyeah it's a bad video card i guess. oh well. $20 store credit for another card04:04
Cubeyvery strange indeed. ubuntu and the like hates it but windows and damn small linux don't mind it04:37
CubeyMaybe there is something about  this video card that ubuntu (debian?) hates04:53
Cubeywell, let's try a win7 install just to see.04:54

XanderfiedWould Menulibre prevent you from upgrading to 15.10 from 14.10?10:23
XanderfiedI just had to purge it out of the system for that reason10:23
Xanderfiedvery strange10:24
Xanderfiedalso everytime I went to upgrade previously it held ML back from the upgrades10:25

zombienerdI just upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.  My volume notification bubble won't go away.  It stays on the screen most of the time, but will disappear for 1-2 seconds occasionally.  Any idea on where to start troubleshooting this issue is appreciated.13:32
grudohey14:34
grudoI have a problem with sound in xubuntu, can someone help me please?14:35
GridCubegrudo: what kind of problem?14:38
GridCube!details14:39
ubottuPlease elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)14:39

zombienerdFor now, I just turned notification opacity to 0 so it doesn't show, but it bothers me that I know it's there, hiding, and taunting me.14:41
GridCubezombienerd: do you see the same issue in the guest session?14:43
zombienerdHaven't checked.  I will do that shortly.14:43
zombienerdIf it's not doing it in guest session, where would I start?  And if it is?14:44
grudosorry I went afk for a minute14:45
GridCubeif the guest session works, i'd remove, or rename, ~/.config/xfce4/ to ~/.config/xfce4.old for example and try relogin, so all defaults for xubuntu desktop are restored14:45
zombienerdThanks!  I'll check and try that the next time I log out/in14:46
GridCube(in general i just like to have a clean ~/.config)14:46
GridCubeand then migrate configs i like, like hexchat's or smplayer manually14:46
grudothe problem is no sound is being played I followed a little guide and I checked the modules and if the sound card (I'm not sure if thats what it is called) is being detected and everything seemed to be fine but still no sound is being played14:49
grudoIf what I'm saying is a bit unclear I can provide logs or configuration files just tell me where it is located :)14:51
GridCubegrudo: open pavucontrol and see if while you play some sound you see bars moving around14:52
grudoalright just a second14:53
grudoyes they were moving14:53
GridCubeunder the moving bar you see a drop down menu, see if you are streaming sound to hdmi instead of analog14:54
GridCubeor viceversa14:54
GridCubealso check that you have plugged some sort of speaker to the soundcard14:55
grudoI only have Built-in analog stereo14:55
GridCubeok, in the last tab of pavucontrol you have several setup options, try changing the defaults to see if there is one that fixes your issue, also check that your speakers are on and with their own volume up14:57
GridCubegrudo: as you see that the bars are moving in pavucontrol you now know that sound streams are going out, you just have to figure where they are going and whats happening next14:58
grudoI can't find the default button, in the last tab (configuration) there is only a drop menu but even when I change the selected thingy from the menu nothing gets displayed15:00
grudoI will try some headphones maybe its a hardware issue15:02
GridCubesorry i could not be of more help grudo15:03
grudoyep headphones worked15:03
grudothanks for trying :)15:03
GridCubeP:15:04
GridCubeoh well, see XD the stream was going somewhere15:04
grudoyes you were right15:04
grudoI'm sure that its not hardware issue because I was using linux mint and sound was working amazingly15:05
* GridCube has no idea15:06
GridCubeif it works with the headphones it should work with the speakers15:07
grudo*shrug*15:07
GridCubeeven more so given the speakers have their own powersource15:07
zombienerdIs this a laptop or a desktop?15:07
grudolaptop15:07
zombienerdSo the internal speakers aren't working?15:07
grudoexactly!15:07
GridCubeoh, have you tried to use the fn mute button?15:08
zombienerdUnder COnfiguration in Pulse control, under "Built-in Audio" what are the options in the drop down box?15:08
grudoAnalog Stereo Duplex, Analog Stereo Output and Analog Stereo Input15:10
grudoand off15:10
zombienerdDo Analog Stereo Output, then move to the Output Devices tab15:10
zombienerdThere is a Port: listing, what's listed under that?15:10
grudospeakers15:11
zombienerdAnd that slider underneath is turned up to 100?15:11
grudoyes15:11
zombienerdPlug in your headphones, and see if that port changes to Headphones15:11
grudoit changed15:12
zombienerdHmm..  As far as I can tell, it should work :)  Is there a hardware volume control on your laptop?15:12
zombienerdWhat model is it?15:12
grudoNB50515:12
grudodo you mean fn+button?15:13
zombienerdToshiba!  I had that same model.15:13
zombienerdThe FN+Volume is usually just a software control, I don't believe the 505 has a hardware volume control15:13
grudoI will probably just use the headphones15:14
zombienerdThe speaker on that thing is tiny, I never liked it.  Try driving all the volume levels to +150 in Pavucontrol and see if you can hear it then15:15
grudojust a second15:15
grudoI still can hear nothing :'(15:16
zombienerdWas it working before you installed Xubuntu?  The speaker itself could be broken15:16
grudoyes it was working15:16
grudowait I don't remember that I was using it at all15:16
zombienerdHmm.  Wish I still had mine so I could try to reproduce the issue.15:16
zombienerdI've gotta run.  Good luck.  Maybe look on ebay and see if anyone is selling a speaker for that model.  Otherwise, stick to the headphones :)  That little speaker was quieter than most cellphones anyway.15:18
grudoalright thanks for trying :)15:18
grudoI will probably get a new laptop since new softwares require better hardware15:18
Noneatmehello all, how can I remove the old mousepad config?15:35
Noneatmefixed it15:37
beowulf_everything works great with the live cd execpt my UHD display. Will only show 1024x768. xrandr output is not complete. Doesn't detect my DPs.19:01
beowulf_btw. im using 16.04 64bit live cd. My machine has 2x 980 Ti's and one connected UHD monitor.19:02
fuboyhello i just made an apt update and all my icons have disappeared I tried selecting different icon theme but still, i am not able to get any icons on my desktop19:27
bekksfuboy: Did you log out and back in?19:28
fuboyyes I did and i also restarted my pc but still no icons19:29
Unit193Might be interesting to know what version of Xubuntu and if any PPAs are being used.  Also, you simply mean desktop icons?  Perhaps xfdesktop isn't running?  You could try to rm -r ~/.cache/sessions/19:30
GeekDudefuboy: Have you checked the desktop icon settings? Right click on the desktop, press "Desktop Settings", switch to the "Icons" tab, and check the "Icon Type" drop down19:31
fuboyi am using 16.04, I am using numix-icon PPA which I removed and then reinstalled but with no result and 'rm -r ~/.cache/sessions/' I already tried that too didnt work and all the icons are gone not just desktop19:33
fuboyIcon type is set to file/launcher19:34
fuboyhere is a screenshot http://i.stack.imgur.com/xJACr.png19:36

SergioEDuran1Hi friends23:12
zombienerd'lo23:12
SergioEDuran1enjoying the IRC with Polari 3.20 :)23:12
zombienerdXchat here.  Xchat-gnome to be specific, as it seems good old xchat didn't make the 16.04 repos23:13
SergioEDuran1it is amazing but it could be better if it had the option to store my NickServ identification in the data vase23:14
SergioEDuran1(polari)23:14
SergioEDuran1gnome xchat is good but has not a good design nor natural copy / paste functions23:14
zombienerdSeems to copy/paste naturally for me :)23:15
SergioEDuran1I see23:16
SergioEDuran1so has some improvements over xchat23:16
SergioEDuran1interesting23:16
zombienerdPerhaps.  First day using it.23:17
zombienerdInterface is a bit different.23:17
SergioEDuran1a little bit23:17
SergioEDuran1what I recommend you if your alias is not registred is to use Polari23:17
SergioEDuran1the official GNOME IRC app with headerbars and a much better design23:18
zombienerdI'll take a look next time I'm restarting.23:18
krytarik!xchat | zombienerd23:18
ubottuzombienerd: xchat and xchat-gnome have not had stable releases in years. xchat was removed from Ubuntu for 16.04. Consider using hexchat instead, which is actively developed and available in 14.04 onwards.23:18
zombienerdRoger that.23:19
SergioEDuran1if only polari had password storing for the NickServ identifications with not need of Empathy maybe polari could be my only and default GTK IRC client23:20
SergioEDuran1http://i.imgur.com/U6wNtFF.png23:20
SergioEDuran1it also has image uploading based on imgur23:21
SergioEDuran1you only paste the image on the text box and polari manages it to be uploaded to imgur23:21
SergioEDuran1something I really love23:21
SergioEDuran1zombienerd: what do you think?23:27
zombienerdThat's a nice feature.23:27
SergioEDuran1the only problem with my Xubuntu desktop after the update to GTk3.20 is that nm-applet does not starts automatically so I need to run it manualy23:29
zombienerdI'm having odd sound system glitches since I upgraded to 16.04, but I'm working on tracing them down.23:29
kr4xhello :)23:29
zombienerdHello23:29
kr4xpowertop disable my usb' ports23:30
kr4xhow i can fix it?23:30
kr4xusing --auto-tune on /etc/rc.local23:30
zombienerdThat's out of my wheelhouse, maybe someone else will jump in.23:31
SergioEDuran1helo kr4xk23:32
SergioEDuran1I am in the same situation as zombienerd23:33
