[07:16] <xubuntu47w> Hi all!
[07:17] <xubuntu47w> Looking for a solution for thunar crashes when cut and paste files. Any help?
[07:23] <flocculant> xubuntu47w: assuming you're up to date, then it's a known issue which isn't fixed yet
[07:28] <xubuntu47w> It's a nasty bug, i am desperate
[07:36] <flocculant> yes - we know that, yes - I understand
[07:39] <flocculant> you could always try a different file manager see if that helps you, something like pcmanfm perhaps
[07:47] <xubuntu47w> Thanks flocculant, I thinking to try Caja from Mate Desktop to remember the old-good nautilus
[09:19] <Aavar_> Hi. I am hoping someone can help me with the installation of Xubuntu. I have started the installation, and I am unsure if it is installing or not. I see the terminal window in the botom of the screen and it is listing warning messages and it has been doing so for a few hours. Is this normal?
[09:36] <flocculant> Aavar_: no - it's not
[10:11] <Aavar_> flocculant: Do you know what I can do about it? It says "detecting file systems". The only other (maybe related) issue I had was that it cant unmount /cdrom (probably because I don't actually have a cd-drive and is booting from a partition on a different harddrive.
[10:14] <olspookishmagus> hello, every time I open a new roxterm window it creates a 112x84 window which is really small, how do I tamper with this?
[10:43] <knome> Aavar_, the /cdrom issue you mention should not block the installation
[10:44] <olspookishmagus> answer: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821357
[10:45] <Aavar_> knome flocculant: Could this be related to the partitions?
[10:46] <flocculant> Aavar_: what are you doing? installing from iso on a different partition?
[10:46] <Aavar_> flocculant: Yes I am installing from a partition on to another (on the same disk).
[10:47] <knome> Aavar_, did you select to use a custom partition setup when installing?
[10:47] <flocculant> Aavar_: not sure then tbh - I've only ever used grub to boot the iso
[10:47] <Aavar_> knome: Yes I did.
[10:48] <knome> i've done that once or twice, but it's years ago, so i totally don't remember the details
[10:48] <knome> do you have any possibility to just dumping the ISO on a USB disk or something?
[10:48] <knome> bbabl
[10:49] <Aavar_> knome: The reason why I am booting from a partition on the harddrive is that this computer does not like to boot from usb-drives (old Macbook)
[11:26]  * mladen-online is new to xubuntu and to IRC. What a day !
[11:28] <knome> congratulations
[11:33] <mladen-online> thanks knome. I really can't use facebook.
[11:48] <mladen-online> sorry guys but I just can't remember the name of the application the displays your system details on the desktop. Can help ?
[11:48] <bazhang> conky
[11:49] <mladen-online> eureka ! Thx
[11:49] <bazhang> ubuntuforums has a superb guide for this
[11:49] <bazhang> 'conky beginners guide'  <--- first hit
[11:50] <mladen-online> what's ubuntu forums ? a irc hannel ?
[11:50] <bazhang> an online help forum
[11:50] <mladen-online> ok
[12:11] <knome> !conky | bazhang
[12:11] <knome> bazhang, just added the factoid for future use
[12:13] <bazhang> great call knome thanks
[12:14] <mladen-online> thanks ubottu. I was exactly looking for this. I just installed conky via terminal and the default aspect looks so bad, it nearly made me blind
[12:15] <bazhang> thats a bot
[12:15] <mladen-online> really ? wouaw
[12:15] <mladen-online> does the bot understand what i say ?
[12:16] <bazhang> sure hope not
[12:16] <mladen-online> how do i distinguish bots from humans ?
[12:18] <mladen-online> maybe by their speach that sound like google ? lol
[12:30] <knome> mladen-online, uBOTtu
[12:31] <knome> basically bots should only respond to specific calls, eg. in this case, the line starting with "!conky" (without the quotes)
[12:32] <knome> bbl
[12:32] <mladen-online> okay
[12:33] <mladen-online> !ubottu hi
[12:34] <mladen-online> :'(not polite
[12:35] <mladen-online> ah my syntax is incorrect
[12:35] <mladen-online> !hi
[12:35] <mladen-online> :)polite !
[12:37] <mladen-online> okay. I am installing some helpful applications and updates on my new xubuntu install. But before going further I would like to create a LVM picture of my PC. Do you know how to do that ?
[12:43] <mladen-online> have to go. bye :)
[13:41] <Aavar_> I managed to install XUbuntu to the drive, but it won't boot when I select it at boot time. As mentioned earlier this is a Mac. How can I fix this?
[13:41] <choki> sorry i dont know, maybe you ask in #ubuntu
[13:42] <choki> did you choose the mac iso?
[13:42] <flocculant> Aavar_: might help to know exactly what 'happens'
[13:46] <Aavar_> flocculant: of cource... my bad. It shows an error. "Non-system disk. Press any key to reboot"
[14:34] <flocculant> Aavar_: sorry - was afk there. Not going to be of much help, with *my* experience that is - troubleshooting apple issues is not something I am much use with
[14:34] <flocculant> have some (more) patience and see who else pops up
[15:16] <Aavar_> flocculant: okey. Thank you anyway :)
[16:21] <flocculant> Aavar_: you might want to ask 'question' periodically, this being irc ...
[18:44] <ax562> hello hello hello
[20:35] <Sandeira> Anyone see my Question in #Xubuntu-offtopic ?
[20:37] <MR-DOS> what was your question
[21:14] <tmsbrg> what input system does Xubuntu 16.04 use? The kind of software like ibus, except it's not ibus
[21:20]  * mladen-online is back on hexchat
[21:21] <mladen-online> the graphics are a little sad, but new interresting functionalities
[21:22] <mladen-online> so, as said before, first day on IRC. Also first day on xubuntu. Which is nice btw
[21:23] <tmsbrg> Xubuntu really is nice
[21:24] <mladen-online> I'm looking for a software that allows me to flash a microcontroller
[21:24] <mladen-online> I used to have flash magic, but that's only for windows or mac
[21:24] <mladen-online> and I'd like to avoid vine
[21:24] <mladen-online> any idea ?
[21:25] <mladen-online> bang ! tough question for a first day !
[21:27] <tmsbrg> sorry, i don't flash microcontrollers every day. Actually I never do
[21:27] <tmsbrg> what I do every day however is type " on top of letters which I'm now unable to due to what seems like an input system bug
[21:27] <mladen-online> yeah. that's not a funny thing to do. That's understandable
[21:29] <mladen-online> actually I'm trying to fix a keyboard (for music) : M-audio Axiom Pro 61 keys, that doesn't boot
[21:33] <mladen-online> Maybe you have ever heard about a small program written in python, called : miniterm.py
[21:33] <mladen-online> ?
[21:33] <mladen-online> Does that ring your bell ?
[21:35] <mladen-online> I saw a guy on youtube, using this to talk to his microcontroller from a linux OS
[21:36] <mladen-online> but not really user friendly. That's why I ask on this channel if any of you know a software to program microcontrollers from linux
[21:44] <tmsbrg> the answer to my question apparently was XIM
[21:46] <tmsbrg> and installing ibus fixed my bug of not being able to type things like ï with the altgr dead keys input method
[21:48] <Unit193> tmsbrg: It used to be shipped by default, but there was some big problems with it.
[21:48] <tmsbrg> there were? I know it used to be, because I used to always use it. Never had problems with ibus myself though
[21:49] <tmsbrg> well except https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138159 but I solved that
[21:52] <tmsbrg> maybe I should report this, but I just installed Xubuntu, and in the install menu I picked US international AltGr dead keys (the best keyboard layout for international programmers), tested it and it worked fine (press altgr+" and then i to get ï, press " to get regular ", no dead key); but then when Xubuntu was installed it broke. Pressing altgr+" wasn't a dead key anymore (and neither was regular "), so I couldn't type ï etc.
[21:52] <tmsbrg> just installed 16.04 that is
