[05:54] <hmir> Hey guys. I have xubuntu 14.10. I've have heard that upgrading 14.10 to 16.04 is a huge hassle, and that I may have to upgrade first to 15.04 and then from 15.04 to 16.04. Is this accurage?
[05:54] <hmir> I would prefer a clean insstall, but the cdrom drive on my laptop is faulty, and the laptop BIOS is old, does not support booting from USB. So, I would prefer to upgrade the release from within the OS. Any advice/recommendation?
[08:30] <sergioad> Hello friends I need help
[08:31] <sergioad> do you know how to autostart xboxdrv at boot with the execution of xboxdrv --silent --mimic-xpad?
[14:32] <xubuntu34w> hello
[14:32] <xubuntu34w> i have a question
[14:34] <xubuntu34w> since the last update yesterday a lot off things are gone, wifi does not work anymore, the main menu is changed, the panel is changed,..
[14:34] <xubuntu34w> anyone else had this experience ?
[14:39] <xubuntu34w> xubuntu 16.04 lts 64bit
[14:45] <GridCube> xubuntu34w: in the grub stage you could choose a previous kernel image and see if that fixes things
[14:46] <GridCube> you can also run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop --reinstall and see if that fixes stuff
[14:46] <GridCube> you can also go to your home folder and rename .config to .config-old and relog, all your config files should be recreated
[14:55] <xubuntu34w> i have created a new user and there things looking normal
[14:56] <xubuntu34w> i use etckeeper for "global configs" is there a simular tool for user home folders ?
 if i recreate configs: does this reset my custom settings to default, so i have to do them again ?
[15:00] <GridCube> yes
[15:00] <GridCube> if you just rename the folder your custom setting are still there, uyou can restore them one by one and see if one breaks things
 ok thanks, will try that, but i am curious why this happens in the first place and how to protect against in the future
[15:05] <GridCube> it shouldnt happen
[15:06] <GridCube> i've upgraded the last 4 years and it never happened so i can't tell you why it happened to you
 xfce panel switch gave me the back the main menu by use: "modern settings", and now also wifi connection works, only some panel items are missing but that's not a big deal
[15:20] <GridCube> :)
[15:20] <GridCube> thats good, you can always save your panel using switch and restore them later if you want
[15:21] <xubuntu34w> yes, only thing i don't understand is: current settings
[15:23] <xubuntu34w> by the way it would be relay useful to have something like etckeeper for home folders
[15:24] <xubuntu34w> unfortunatly i have not enough experience to handcraft a .gitignore for that
 thanks for your help
[15:27] <GridCube> de nada
[15:27] <GridCube> :) hope things are working correctly now
[17:02] <b3h3m0th> which is visually superior ? mate or xfce ?
[17:02] <b3h3m0th> darn
[17:02] <b3h3m0th> wrong channel
[17:02] <b3h3m0th> anyway, which is ?
[17:03] <nebg> xfce
[17:03] <b3h3m0th> why ?
[17:44] <GridCube> because you are in the xubuntu channel
[22:47] <xubuntu01w> help
