[11:07] <fucatus> hello
[11:09] <fucatus> i guess meta questions aren't welcome here so here is my problem: i installed bumblebee on my xubuntu and after a reboot my screen resolution was fixed to something like 600x480. from there I tried a lot of things and finally managed to get an option to change my resolution through the gui (display settings), however, the resolution didn't actually change
[11:09] <fucatus> well, after a while of trying to fix it, now all graphical surface is gone, but i still have access via console
[11:10] <fucatus> is there a way for me to restore my graphics to the starting default?
[11:10] <fucatus> i tried several things and searched a lot, for example i tried reinstalling xfce, but nothing worked
[16:49] <xubuntu07i> hej
[17:53] <MannyG> hello i have a minor display isssue on (primary display using 3 screens) can anyone help me ?
[18:02] <thinkpad> hi

[18:03] <thinkpad> i have thinkpad 11e amd clamshell
[18:04] <thinkpad> with xubuntu 16, but the usb 3.0 is not working
[18:04] <thinkpad> i have the same problem with ubuntu 14.04
[18:04] <thinkpad> but it works with ubuntu 16
[18:06] <thinkpad> I thought I would work with xubuntu 16 since it is based on ubuntu 16
[18:08] <thinkpad> sudo apt full upgrade helps me..
[18:19] <ProjectFi> Hello.
[18:20] <ProjectFi> I am not new to Linux, but still learning.
[18:20] <ProjectFi> I tried to format my Flashdrive, but it shows me error.
[18:20] <ProjectFi> "Permission Denied".
[18:20] <ProjectFi> I was using terminal to format my pendrive, and was following these commands. : http://askubuntu.com/questions/662935/how-to-format-usb-flash-disk-using-ubuntu-terminal
[18:21] <ProjectFi> Can someone help me out.
[18:22] <krytarik> ProjectFi: That command is missing "sudo" in front.
[18:22] <krytarik> !sudo
[18:23] <ProjectFi> Oh my lord.
[18:23] <ProjectFi> Thank you.
[18:23] <krytarik> Sure.
[18:23] <MannyG> hello i have a minor display isssue on (primary display using 3 screens) can anyone help me ?
[18:23] <ProjectFi> I am so dumb and blind.
[18:24] <ProjectFi> krytarik: Which program will you recommend for making bootable pendrive?
[18:24] <ProjectFi> Unetbootin ?
[18:25] <krytarik> ProjectFi: I recently just used 'dd' myself. :P
[18:25] <ProjectFi> dd?
[18:29] <ProjectFi> krytarik: What is dd? Is there any tutorial on how make bootable usb on linux ?
[18:29] <krytarik> ProjectFi: http://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal - but if you are on 16.04, 'usb-creator-gtk' should work as well.
[18:29] <ProjectFi> krytarik: I am on 15 version.
[18:30] <krytarik> Then I'd not bet on the latter.
[18:36] <krytarik> !usb | ProjectFi: There is quite a bit of info here as well
[19:11] <thenewone> Hi guys
[19:11] <thenewone> is xubuntu the same as ubuntu ?
[19:11] <thenewone> only the xfce4 difference ?
[19:18] <niteye> hello peoples
[19:19] <thenewone> Hi
[19:20] <thenewone> niteye: i have a simple question
[19:20] <thenewone> niteye: is xubuntu = ubuntu only the wm difference ?
[19:20] <niteye> the desktop environment is also different, but they use the same repository, so its almost the same
[19:21] <thenewone> only the desktop
[19:21] <thenewone> ok
[19:21] <niteye> but im no expert on ubuntu because im also here for an issue i have heheh
[19:21] <thenewone> thanks alot :)
[19:21] <thenewone> what is the issue ?
[19:21] <thenewone> before i leave :)
[19:21] <niteye> i have a strange issue in the installation, when i create my paritions, the installer keeps adding 0 Mb sized free space in between the partitions
[19:22] <thenewone> what program you are using to create this partitions ?
[19:22] <thenewone> cfdisk gparted ?
[19:22] <niteye> even when i want to change an existing partition, if i click OK it says i edited the size, which i didnt, and it adds 0 Mb of free space after it
[19:22] <niteye> dunno, the xubuntu installer
[19:23] <thenewone> niteye: can you delete this paritions again ?
[19:24] <niteye> yup i can but when i try to recreate it, it happens again
[19:24] <thenewone> ok do the following
[19:24] <thenewone> shred -vn 1 /dev/sdX ( the partition you wanna remake )
[19:24] <thenewone> wait 1% or 2%
[19:24] <niteye> at least its handy i can IRC and surf the web while installing. on the same computer hehe
[19:24] <thenewone> cfdisk create this parititons again
[19:25] <thenewone> and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX
[19:25] <thenewone> yep
[19:25] <thenewone> i think i will give a try for xubuntu
[19:25] <niteye> isnt shred gonna take an enormous amount of time. the partition is 2 tb
[19:25] <thenewone> even ubuntu is not secure that much
[19:25] <thenewone> niteye: don't let it finish just for 1%
[19:26] <thenewone> and use cfdisk
[19:26] <niteye> i need ubuntu because debian is terrible on my computer, too many driver and video issues, ubuntu seems to work much better, but i hate the interface, so i choose xubuntu, its not secure by default but you can configure it to be very very secure
[19:28] <thenewone> how can you make it secure ?
[19:29] <niteye> you can set up strict firewall rules, encrypt the drive, set up a lock screen etc.
[19:29] <thenewone> ya firewall
[19:29] <thenewone> wish one you are using iptables or ufw ?
[19:29] <niteye> iptables
[19:30] <thenewone> nice
[19:30] <thenewone> ufw sucks :)
[19:30] <niteye> i wouldnt know i never used it, :) but iptables is nice
[19:30] <thenewone> i'm donwloading xubuntu
[19:30] <thenewone> the best
[19:31] <thenewone> ok guys thanks alot and have a nice day
[19:31] <niteye> indeed the best, except the installer
[19:31] <thenewone> niteye: did your problem solved ?
[19:31] <niteye> didnt try it yet
[19:31] <thenewone> i'm runing arch now
[19:32] <thenewone> i will back to debian little bit
[19:32] <thenewone> and distros based on debian
[19:32] <thenewone> just for fun i will leave you knwo thanks alot and have a nice day :)
[19:36] <krytarik> niteye: http://askubuntu.com/questions/525596/unallocated-small-chunks-being-created-in-gparted-when-resizing-partitions
[19:39] <niteye> aha so xubuntu installer probably aligns to MB, but i dont see an option to change it though, as i use GPT primary partitions
[19:41] <krytarik> niteye: You can use GParted from the Live session *before* running the installer.
[19:41] <niteye> would it work though, because when i want to "use" an existing partition, even if i dont change the size, it says i changed it and adds a 0MB free space before or after it
