| toothe | I am trying to run x11vnc on xubuntu without being logged in. How does that work? | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| toothe | i vnc in and just see a black screen. | 01:33 |
| Unit193 | Try adding -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 | 01:34 |
| toothe | let me give me that a shot. | 01:37 |
| toothe | no dice... | 01:39 |
| Unit193 | x11vnc generally gives a lot of output, is it saying something interesting? | 01:41 |
| toothe | is this: sudo x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -usepw | 01:42 |
| toothe | because xubuntu uses lightdm :) | 01:43 |

| the-erm | I just installed 16.04, and gtk apps look all messed up - buttons don't look right, no padding/border. In particular synaptic. | 02:07 |
| the-erm | How do you fix that? | 02:07 |
| Nazarov | hello | 02:36 |
| Nazarov | who has successfully upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.01 ? | 02:37 |

| puckz | GeekDude: No, I can't change the sort order. I seems to have "locked" the possibility to sort. | 03:41 |
| GeekDude | I don't have any clue then | 03:42 |
| puckz | GeekDude: Thanks anyway! | 03:53 |
| xubuntu10i | hi | 04:09 |
| xubuntu10i | interesting thing i'm seeing. i just got a new zenbook and i'm installing xubuntu to it. i used windows to shrink the windows partition for 128 gb for xubuntu, but for the install it wasn't an option | 04:09 |
| xubuntu10i | 0:4 was my free space of 128 gb, and the installer found 0:5 and 0:6, so i let it go. we'll see how it turns out | 04:10 |
| th3Dotor | hello | 04:25 |
| nikolam | hi | 04:36 |
| th3Dotor | Is Xubuntu more for advanced users? or beginners too? | 04:44 |
| Codfection | hello | 04:48 |
| Codfection | can I install unity on xubuntu? | 04:48 |
| Codfection | without any issues | 04:48 |
| cfhowlett | why would you want to do that? just install ubuntu | 04:49 |
| Codfection | erm.. to switch between | 04:49 |
| Codfection | de | 04:49 |
| cfhowlett | unity is tightly integrated with ubuntu. NOT integrated with xubuntu. expect the unexpected | 04:50 |
| Codfection | what about mate? | 04:50 |
| Codfection | ubuntu mate* | 04:50 |
| cfhowlett | but if you insist: install the ubuntu-desktop package | 04:50 |
| th3Dotor | Or a better question may be. I understand Xubuntu is light weight. Is there specific suggestions on what should be installed in terms of hardening security? | 04:50 |
| cfhowlett | Codfection, same caution applies but mate is not so integral as unity is. | 04:50 |
| Codfection | cfhowlett, so it should work fine ? :( | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | 90% = fine. | 04:51 |
| Codfection | oh.. | 04:51 |
| Codfection | :( | 04:51 |
| Codfection | how to run mate and xfce on ubuntu same | 04:51 |
| cfhowlett | Codfection, did not say you couldn't but the overall result may be less smooth than unity | 04:52 |
| Codfection | I cant live without xubuntu.. (xfce).. and I like to use mate sometimes. | 04:52 |
| cfhowlett | th3Dotor, 1. enable firewall 2. review your privacy settings in firefox | 04:52 |
| Codfection | I dont care about unity | 04:52 |
| th3Dotor | thanks | 04:52 |
| cfhowlett | th3Dotor, happy2help! | 04:53 |
| Codfection | cfhowlett, | 04:53 |
| Codfection | FernandoBasso, whats up :) | 07:50 |
| Pipapop | Hi! I just upgraded from Xubuntu 14.04.3 to 16.04.1 and I have a problem : system boots normally but after seeing the blue sceen with our little mouse and the charging circle, I have a complete black/grey screen. | 08:13 |
| Pipapop | I tried to switch on tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1 or the other ones, but it doesn't work | 08:13 |
| Pipapop | Keyboard seems activated, the led of the mute button switch when I press it. | 08:14 |
| Pipapop | I'm on a Lenovo x230 laptop with Intel Graphic chipset, so no conflict with Nvidia optimus/bumblebee | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | Pipapop, suggest you reboot in nomodeset | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | !nomodeset | 08:15 |
| 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 | 08:15 |
| Pipapop | interesting, thanks | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | your upgrade should have worked but | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | things get scrambled at times. I believe you have dual gpu's. defaulting to the intel should be standard behavior | 08:17 |
| Pipapop | I think I only have one gpu, or else it's pretty well hidden and a masterpiece of miniaturization ^^ | 08:19 |
| knome | they are often integrated in the CPU today. | 08:20 |
| Pipapop | yep, it's the Intel one | 08:20 |
| knome | the bumblebee ones are "one" GPU too, fwiw | 08:21 |
| Pipapop | I read the thread that ubottu popped. It seems that the best way to do it is to add the nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT ? | 08:21 |
| knome | but i believe you ;) | 08:21 |
| cfhowlett | Pipapop, indeed | 08:21 |
| Pipapop | mmh I'm on a Live USB, how do I manage to perform an upgrade-grub on the hard drive and not on the usb key ? | 08:25 |
| cfhowlett | Pipapop, I think the process is to chroot the installed menu but please read ... | 08:26 |
| Pipapop | ok found out | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | !grub | 08:26 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:26 |
| Pipapop | sorry | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | no worries | 08:26 |
| Pipapop | hadn't had a problem with this marvelous system for a while now, I don't remember how to search the fu**ing web ^^ | 08:28 |
| knome | Pipapop, please remember that this is a family-friendly channel | 08:29 |
| Pipapop | i'm sorry :) | 08:30 |
| Pipapop | I'll have to reboot, think I did something wrong. I'll come back to give you an update after the inevitable success, but to be sure, should I let the option in the boot forever? | 08:37 |
| cfhowlett | Pipapop, no it's a one time gig to get you access. once you have your system sorted, remove it | 08:38 |
| Pipapop | ok, great, thanks | 08:38 |
| Pipapop | Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try. Bye! | 08:44 |
| Pipapop | Hi again. I'm coming back without success :( the nomodeset option didn't change boot. It's "worse", I don't see the blue screen of xubuntu after grub | 09:25 |
| Pipapop | I did a boot-repair and then added the extra option in /etc/default/grub. I checked, it's written in the file, I did the update-grub. | 09:27 |
| cfhowlett | Pipapop, bring this to #ubuntu - more eyes to see | 09:28 |
| Pipapop | ok | 09:29 |
| PTS | Hello everyone. Is there any way to add events to the calendar that comes with the standard panel in a fresh installation of xubuntu? | 12:03 |
| PTS | I do realize that I can use the Orage Calendar, but I would prefer to be able to view events in the panel calendar too. | 12:04 |
| nanotube | hey people :) ok, this is pretty lame and cosmetic, but after i deleted the Documents directory in the home dir, and then created it again, the fancy custom icon disappeared. where in the configuration soup do i go to restore the custom Documents icon? | 14:58 |

| Ostia^ | hi | 16:54 |
| Ostia^ | question is it possible to update easily from xubuntu 13.10 to 16.04? | 16:55 |
| xangua | Someone had a long 2 year nap | 17:16 |
| Ostia^ | i have a 13.10 dvd at hand, thats why ask | 17:17 |
| xangua | Well you could install 13.10 and spend maybe half a day or more upgrading... Or you could download the 16.04 ISO and install it in an hour or less | 17:20 |
| Ostia^ | i just burned a mini cd, that has to do then | 17:22 |
| xangua | A mini CD? | 17:22 |
| Ostia^ | network install cd | 17:23 |
