| JeZxLee | yes, Xubuntu 16.04 L.T.S. 64Bit is the current best operating system - I was a Linux Mint fan before the site got hacked | 00:07 |

| Mark_D | I am using the xfce notes plugin. The problem is that notes always appear in the centre of the screen (with "sticky" set) and not where I dragged the window before. Any workaround for this? | 08:19 |

| sorinello | hello. what is the default CD/DVD burning software for ubuntu ? | 13:00 |
| sorinello | *xubuntu | 13:00 |

| Unit193 | xfburn in Xubuntu. | 13:03 |
| knob | Good morning everyone. | 13:03 |
| GeekDude | Huh, I have both of those installed | 13:03 |
| knob | Is there an "alternative" to light-locker?... or, well, I don't know if it should be light-locker itself. I am running into this issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=355720#c19 | 13:04 |
| GeekDude | You could try xscreensaver | 13:04 |
| knob | And it's driving me nuts. When the laptop activates the screen saver, then locks the screen, Chrome and Chromium stop "re-drawing" their content. And I have to reboot in order to get them to work again | 13:05 |
| knob | GeekDude, xscreensaver... on my way! Thank you! | 13:05 |
| GeekDude | Personally, I just uninstalled light-locker and left it that way | 13:05 |
| GeekDude | Too many odd bugs here and there | 13:05 |
| knob | GeekDude, and do you "lock down" your screen somehow? I like having the laptop lock down the session after two minutes | 13:05 |
| knob | ok ok | 13:05 |
| GeekDude | knob: I take the laptop with me | 13:06 |
| GeekDude | I am very attached to this laptop | 13:06 |
| knob | Ok. Well, I get off away from the laptop often (either in my office, or at a client's location)... and I like having it lock the screen relatively quickly. | 13:06 |
| GeekDude | The only situations in which I would leave said laptop unattended is when I already trust the people who would be able to access it physically | 13:07 |
| knob | That's why I was wondering. And that's why I set it up for a two minute screen "off"., and a screen lock as soon as the screen goes blank. | 13:07 |
| GeekDude | Still, it's not a bad idea to do have a screensaver/lock screen | 13:07 |
| knob | Yeha. I just removed light-locker... going to test it out. | 13:08 |
| knob | Welp... first test, success. I will keep on trying it during the day. =) | 13:12 |
| sorinello | lol, it seems that xfburn cannot erase DVD+RW discs :)) | 13:21 |
| GeekDude | How would you erase a dvd? I guess you could try to forcibly burn every bit | 13:23 |
| sorinello | GeekDude, all the burning software has this option. It erases the allocation table of the disc (quick), or full by writing zeros to the content | 13:23 |

| akis | hi all. update-notifier doesn't work automatically although it is autostart-enabled. i read some complains about this issue but no solution. is there any help on this or any other way to make software updater work automatically when updates are available? | 14:09 |
| flocculant | akis: I assume you've got it setup properly? also if this xenial it seems there are just 3 bugs reported for u-notifier https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bugs?field.tag=xenial | 14:12 |
| flocculant | seems a bit flaky on yakkety as well tbh | 14:13 |
| akis | flocculant: i am running xenial fresh installation. never faced this problem under 12,04 or 14,04 cleanly installed too. my setup is daily check - display (only) immediately. although updates are available (i check it though the console) no reminder is coming from update-notifier although it runs on the backround. any idea? | 14:15 |
| akis | flocculant: take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2323320 | 14:23 |
| flocculant | akis: maybe actually report it ... ubuntu-bug update-notifier | 14:24 |
| flocculant | seems like a bug to me | 14:24 |
| akis | flocculant: here too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/356152. there is a report for xenial too. | 14:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 356152 in update-notifier (Ubuntu) "update-manager doesn't show updates, even after 1 week" [High,Confirmed] | 14:25 |
| flocculant | ok - so me too that, make sure you get updates to bug report and follow that | 14:27 |
| akis | flocculant: i am always getting updates manually through console, but i need the notification... | 14:28 |
| flocculant | akis: yup - but not something I can help with, and the bug is generically *buntu | 14:29 |
| flocculant | not sure what you're wanting here | 14:29 |
| knob | welp, nope... same error with Chromium and Chrome | 14:30 |
| akis | flocculant: ok, no problem. thank you for your time today. i am wondering if i make software updater autostart in every new session isn't a way to every-boot check for updates and then quit? | 14:31 |
| John[Lisbeth] | I've got some ssh windows that I leave open in teh default terminal in ubuntu and I realize that sometimes they end up hanging after a while | 16:53 |
| John[Lisbeth] | and I am trying to diagnose if this is a problem with the default xubuntu terminal or something else | 16:53 |
| ran_ | hi. in xubuntu 16.04 there is a problem with japanese letters. on many programs and the title bar they are "pushed down" a little, when they needs to be on center. (sorry about my english). | 19:23 |

| avocado_ | Question about Xubuntu. I'm new to Linux. I created a 60GB partition alongside OS X to install it onto. During installation I reformatted the partition from FAT to EXF4 as per instructions. The installation appeared successful. I reboot the system and enter the LINUX partition but I'm met with a plain black screen and a white flashing prompt, and nothing else. Typing does nothing. Restarted a few times to double-check. No change. What could be wrong? | 20:47 |
| intherye | avocado: anything happens if you press ctrl+alt+f1 keys? (i'm not sure if this works on a mac) | 20:57 |
| avocado_ | I typed a few random keys with no response. I'll try ctrl+alt+f1 combo next time. | 21:00 |
| avocado_ | I got a caution message about not designating swap space before installation. Could that be it? | 21:02 |
| intherye | that should bring you to a text console where you can login and do troubleshooting. maybe there is a problem with the xorg graphical interface. i don't think it has something todo with the swap space. | 21:03 |
| avocado_ | I've been told Xubuntu is meant to work fine on a Mac machine. It's very possible I fucked up somewhere. Burning the ISO onto the CD was fine. Trying out the OS is fine. The steps involved are choosing the partition, formatting it to EXT4 (not sure if this is right), choosing the mount point (/), and installing, and rebooting. | 21:08 |
| genii | !nomodeset | 21:13 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 21:13 |
| avocado_ | I don't understand. How can I overcome this issue? | 21:24 |
| genii | avocado_: Try first the method in the link provided by the bot. This is usually what the problem is 90%+ of the time | 21:40 |
