| Alderin | Hi All. I used the Ubuntu 16.04 Mini CD and installed Xubuntu, but there are no options in Settings for Printers. I wanted a very light install, but I've now installed the Ubuntu Software Center, and I still can't find what to add to get a Printers icon in Settings. I hope someone can help, thanks in advance! | 00:31 |
| Alderin | @stormchaser3000 I've never had an nvidia card not show up in a system unless it was disabled in BIOS. | 00:32 |
| Alderin | or DOA. | 00:32 |
| stormchaser3000_ | Alderin: how do i enable it? | 00:33 |
| stormchaser3000_ | (that is another thing i was wondering about) | 00:33 |
| stormchaser3000_ | i know how to access the bios | 00:33 |
| stormchaser3000_ | but i couldn't find and setting for it | 00:33 |
| Alderin | That varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer, and I don't go in there too often. | 00:33 |
| Alderin | Typically, there is a mention of "Onboard Video" that you can enable or disable. | 00:34 |
| Alderin | Sometimes, the BIOS will refused to allow another video card to run if Onboard is enabled. | 00:35 |
| Alderin | Though I haven't had issues with that myself in years. | 00:35 |

| Alderin | Thanks, I'll try that. Since I was using Xfce, I tried system-config-printer-common, but that didn't do it. | 00:46 |
| Alderin | Yup, that worked. Thanks! | 00:48 |

| xubuntu22w | Hey, I'm just testing this out. | 11:16 |

| walkfar60 | Hi folks! I have a minor problem when I am connected to ethernet cable in which every now 30 mins or so I am asked to enter my wifi password? | 11:17 |
| xubuntu22w | And... now I have. So bye, everybody. | 11:18 |
| walkfar60 | My only solution to this is by disabling wifi when wired. | 11:20 |

| flocculant | must have sorted it out | 16:02 |
| Morrog | Good morning (UGT) | 18:58 |
| Morrog | Whenever I log out on 16.04, I see a black screen with a message similar to '/dev/sda3: clean, 131838/991232 files, 1193255/3933482 blocks' | 18:59 |
| Morrog | Is it possible to hide this message? I think I shouldn't be seeing it after a simple logout | 18:59 |
| Pici | Morrog: you mean it briefly shows up when you logout before showing the login manager again? | 19:05 |
| Morrog | yes, exactly | 19:05 |
| Pici | Morrog: I'd think it might actually be showing up when you boot, but since logging out does things to xwindows, it falls back to that. | 19:05 |
| Morrog | probably | 19:05 |
| Morrog | it also isn't a big issue, obviously. but i'd rather not see it :) | 19:06 |
| Morrog | Pici, any clue how I could make that message disappear? | 19:18 |

| Art_ | Hi, Im using xubuntu 16.04, and trying to move the panel backup from one installation to another. When I click 'apply' however, the panel looks nothing like it should....not even remotely. Any idea what I might be doing wrong??? | 19:54 |
| alb | still having problems transitioning to another system using the panel backup file (both systems arexubuntu 16.04). I can import the file to the new install, but when I click 'apply', the changes made to the panel don't look like they should. The new panel is almost unusable. Any ideas? | 20:41 |
| flocculant | alb: and what's different? in the wrong place? launchers not set up properly? all we've got is it's not right :) | 20:46 |
| alb | flocculant, ok, some of the panel entries are on the left, some are on the right, many panel entries missing. It's just not right. | 20:47 |
| alb | I think the backup and restore function is broken. | 20:48 |
| flocculant | well - it might have a bug with your setup - but it works ok for me - and I started using it in development - and still am | 20:49 |
| flocculant | unless something has changed since yak started dev of course | 20:50 |
| alb | flocculant, I can post pictures. | 20:50 |
| alb | flocculant, both installs are fairly new, but there were no errors during the install. | 20:51 |
| flocculant | yep | 20:51 |
| flocculant | alb: did you export? | 20:51 |
| alb | ok, it will take me awhile...yes, export went fine, import went fine. | 20:52 |
| alb | flocculant, I also tried manually moving thebackup file to the new computer and it appeared on the backup screen as being 'available'....but when I click'apply' its a disaster. | 20:53 |
| flocculant | alb: ok - after importing - then select - then apply config | 20:54 |
| alb | flocculant, yes, correct. I moved the cursor to the new configuration file, then clicked 'apply'. | 20:55 |
| flocculant | and it failed then | 20:55 |
| alb | flocculant, yes, the results of the 'apply' command were much different then they should have been. I suppose it could be an export problem. | 20:56 |
| alb | flocculant, my new system has an ssd, which is why I want to transition to it.....but, have used both systems enough to know there isn't a system problem or corrupted drive. | 20:58 |
| flocculant | yup | 20:59 |
| flocculant | I'm not saying that the issue is local - just that I've not been able to confirm it :) | 20:59 |
| alb | flocculant, I'll go take some screen captures and post them, it will take awhile::> | 20:59 |
| flocculant | alb: hang on a mo | 20:59 |
| alb | flocculant, Maybe I could sned you the backup file and you could try it?? | 21:00 |
| flocculant | was what I was thinking | 21:00 |
| alb | flocculant, hanging. | 21:00 |
| flocculant | alb: no need - took the words out of my mouth | 21:00 |
| alb | flocculant, I have no idea how to send a file on IRC though, but if I post it you can download it. | 21:01 |
| alb | back in a while..... | 21:01 |
| flocculant | alb: ok do that | 21:01 |
| flocculant | but I'm not about for much longer tonight | 21:02 |
| xubuntu01w | So many peoples say linux is so good compare to windows. I use Xubuntu and lubuntu. It is allway so many errors. Now it is frozen after i install the updates. | 21:13 |
| xubuntu01w | The aplication closed unexpectly and so on.. I gues i have to reinstall. I am tired of it. | 21:14 |
| knome | why would you need to reinstall? | 21:15 |
| knome | which application closed unexpectedly? | 21:15 |
| knome | how is your system frozen? | 21:15 |
| knome | and for debugging, which xubuntu version are you using? | 21:15 |
| xubuntu01w | If it crash and not will work.. I dont know.. the update program is frozen. | 21:17 |
| knome | open a terminal and run "lsb_release -a" without the quotes to find out your version | 21:18 |
| xubuntu01w | I found software in the taskmanager. Shud i use stop, kill or terminate ? | 21:18 |
| xubuntu01w | what is the diferents ? | 21:19 |
| knome | please answer the questions i am asking you so i can help | 21:20 |
| xubuntu01w | I am using 16.04 | 21:20 |
| xubuntu01w | 64 bit | 21:20 |
| knome | ok, so is it only the updater that is frozen, not the whole system? | 21:20 |
| xubuntu01w | I tought all was frozen.. but it is only the updater. | 21:21 |
| knome | okay | 21:22 |
| knome | so which application was it that closed unexpectedly, in case it would be connected to this issue? | 21:22 |
| xubuntu01w | I dont know.. It was a box showing up when the updates was running. It say a aplication was closing unexpectly. I shoose to leave the aplication closed. | 21:23 |
| knome | ok, so if you click on the close button on the updater, does it ask if you want to terminate the process? | 21:24 |
| xubuntu01w | It is the quit button. It is frozen blue. | 21:25 |
| xangua | Did you add any repositories recently? | 21:27 |
| xubuntu01w | no | 21:27 |
| alb | I cant post on paste.ubuntu.com....they dont allow png and zip files. | 21:33 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, can you get the updater to close? | 21:33 |
| knome | !imagebin | alb | 21:33 |
| ubottu | alb: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. | 21:33 |
| xubuntu01w | I think so.. But in the taskmanager there is diferents commands. kill ? terminate ? | 21:33 |
| xubuntu01w | I will not make it worse. | 21:34 |
| knome | they should be similar in function but try kill first. | 21:34 |
| alb | flocculant, and knome http://imgur.com/a/GiTxu shows both screens. | 21:36 |
| xubuntu01w | It is closed now. I am not sure the updates is correct after this. It was many of them. Shud i restart and let i look for updtates again ? | 21:37 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, don't restart | 21:37 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, run the following in a terminal | 21:37 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get update | 21:37 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:37 |
| xubuntu01w | ok | 21:37 |
| knome | the first one will make sure your repositories are updated, the second one does all updates | 21:38 |
| knome | take note of any error messages potentially popping up | 21:38 |
| alb | flocculant, I dont know where to upload the configuration file, imgur.com only accepts pictures!!! argh. | 21:40 |
| xubuntu01w | It is done. | 21:40 |
| xubuntu01w | There was nothing new installed. | 21:40 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, then you should be good to go. | 21:41 |
| knome | alb, sometimes problems arise if you haven't got all panel plugins that are used in the backup installed | 21:42 |
| knome | eg. if you used a non-default panel plugin in the configuration you are importing to a fresh system, make sure that's installed first | 21:42 |
| xubuntu01w | The maybe all is ok..but after all updtaes libre office and many things maybe i shud restart ? | 21:42 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, generally you don't need to restart after updates, but it might be useful or in some cases required to restart the apps themself | 21:43 |
| xubuntu01w | mostly after new kernel i have seen. | 21:44 |
| alb | the panel backup fileis at http://pastebin.com/detfTdFj | 21:44 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, yes, then the reboot is required if you want to start using the new kernel | 21:44 |
| knome | alb, that didn't work out... | 21:45 |
| xubuntu01w | knoem.. Anyway thank you for the help. I will try this and hope it will works like normal. | 21:45 |
| knome | xubuntu01w, have fun with xubuntu | 21:45 |
| xubuntu01w | knome i meen. | 21:45 |
| alb | knome, both are fairly new installs and both updated. How do I check to see if plugiuns are present??? | 21:46 |
| knome | alb, at the moment the only way to do that is manually; just see which plugins are used and make sure they are installed in both systems | 21:47 |
| alb | knome, I did notice that the donor system won't let me export now....I click onthe button to save and nothing happens. | 21:48 |
| alb | knome, is this work in progress...still in development??? Or did I do something wrong?? | 21:49 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| knome | everything is always work in progress, but generally, it should work | 21:49 |
| knome | it doesn't mean you are necessarily doing anything wrong either | 21:50 |
| knome | maybe you have hit some bug that is unseen for now | 21:50 |
| alb | manual setting up is a big pain.....I sure wish the restore would work. | 21:50 |
| alb | knome, ok, were you able to download the backup file?? | 21:51 |
| knome | alb, no. the pastebin you showed us only contains the local filename | 21:51 |
| alb | argh....ok. Let me see if I can figure itout. | 21:51 |
| alb | ok,pastebinsays only textfiles are allowed::> | 21:53 |
| knome | if you open the compressed file, you'll notice a file called config.txt inside; pastebining that might be enough | 21:54 |
| knome | i mean, i'm not sure if it helps that we see what's inside the configuration... | 21:54 |
| alb | knome still looking for awebsiteto paste the wholefilein. | 21:58 |
| knome | i don't think it would be sensible to accept compressed files | 21:59 |
| knome | google drive or some other cloud service if you have an account | 21:59 |

| knome | squinty, he's trying to paste a compressed .tar.bz2 file, those won't help | 22:00 |
| squinty | knome, yes understood... he said he was searching for a site to paste and you told him to extract config.txt (or whatever is relevant)..presumably he will do that first. :-) | 22:02 |
| alb | !paste | 22:03 |

| knome | squinty, indeed, but he's pasted stuff to pastebins already... | 22:05 |
| alb | I still cant find a place to post the panel backup file!!! aaarrrgghhhh, I give up. | 22:14 |
| alb | knome, OK, I extracted the archive and there are only 3 launchers in the panel backup!!! That can't be right!!!! There should be at least 10! I will post the text file (config.txt)........ | 22:21 |
| alb | knome, ok, text at https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8875687 | 22:23 |
| knome | alb, as you see yourself, only three launchers are mentioned in the file | 22:24 |
| knome | so either something is going wrong or you have export the wrong file | 22:24 |
| knome | exported too | 22:25 |
| alb | yes, thanks knome, I need to look at the exporting process I think!!!! Sure with there was a way to manually make the configuration...say from a command line::> | 22:26 |
| knome | you can make manually everything... even write a shakespeare novel | 22:26 |
| knome | whether it's sensible or faster than another way is a different thing | 22:26 |
| alb | yes, I'll stop blaming the recipient system, the problem is likely in the donor system!!!! thanks so much for your assistance!!! | 22:28 |
| knome | np, goood luck | 22:28 |
| alb | Maybe I should just copy the entire home folder into the new install!!!!!! | 22:29 |
| knome | btw, you don't need to shout (!!!!!!) | 22:29 |
| alb | i get excited:> | 22:29 |
| alb | so sorry, not intended to be malicious:<> | 22:30 |
| knome | just hold your horses :P | 22:30 |
| alb | holding | 22:30 |
| alb | im looking at the config.txt, it seems pretty simple. Maybe I could just roll my own:> | 22:31 |
| knome | well... | 22:31 |
| knome | feel free to | 22:32 |
| alb | copying the entire home folder from one install to the other is looking like a more practical solution too. | 22:33 |
| knome | that's one way to do it | 22:34 |
| alb | Not sure what to do, but sure would like to get the SSD system running!!!!! The SSDflies! | 22:37 |
| alb | flies | 22:37 |
| alb | take care and again, thanks. | 22:38 |
