[01:33] <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.
[01:34] <Unit193> Try adding  -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0
[01:37] <toothe> let me give me that a shot.
[01:39] <toothe> no dice...
[01:41] <Unit193> x11vnc generally gives a lot of output, is it saying something interesting?
[01:42] <toothe> is this: sudo x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -usepw
[01:43] <toothe> because xubuntu uses lightdm :)
[02:07] <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?
[02:36] <Nazarov> hello
[02:37] <Nazarov> who has successfully upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.01 ?
[02:39] <Nazarov> talk or live
[02:40] <Nazarov> sleepers
[03:41] <puckz> GeekDude: No, I can't change the sort order. I seems to have "locked" the possibility to sort.
[03:42] <GeekDude> I don't have any clue then
[03:53] <puckz> GeekDude: Thanks anyway!
[04:09] <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
[04:10] <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
[04:25] <th3Dotor> hello
[04:36] <nikolam> hi
[04:44] <th3Dotor> Is Xubuntu more for advanced users? or beginners too?
[04:48] <Codfection> hello
[04:48] <Codfection> can I install unity on xubuntu?
[04:48] <Codfection> without any issues
[04:49] <cfhowlett> why would you want to do that?  just install ubuntu
[04:49] <Codfection> erm.. to switch between
[04:49] <Codfection> de
[04:50] <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.
[04:51] <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
[04:52] <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
[04:53] <cfhowlett> th3Dotor, happy2help!
[04:53] <Codfection> cfhowlett,
[07:50] <Codfection> FernandoBasso, whats up :)
[08:13] <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
[08:14] <Pipapop> Keyboard seems activated, the led of the mute button switch when I press it.
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <Pipapop> interesting, thanks
[08:16] <cfhowlett> your upgrade should have worked but
[08:17] <cfhowlett> things get scrambled at times.  I believe you have dual gpu's.  defaulting to the intel should be standard behavior
[08:19] <Pipapop> I think I only have one gpu, or else it's pretty well hidden and a masterpiece of miniaturization ^^
[08:20] <knome> they are often integrated in the CPU today.
[08:20] <Pipapop> yep, it's the Intel one
[08:21] <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
[08:25] <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 ?
[08:26] <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] <Pipapop> sorry
[08:26] <cfhowlett> no worries
[08:28] <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 ^^
[08:29] <knome> Pipapop, please remember that this is a family-friendly channel
[08:30] <Pipapop> i'm sorry :)
[08:37] <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?
[08:38] <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
[08:44] <Pipapop> Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try. Bye!
[09:25] <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
[09:27] <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.
[09:28] <cfhowlett> Pipapop, bring this to #ubuntu - more eyes to see
[09:29] <Pipapop> ok
[12:03] <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?
[12:04] <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.
[14:58] <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?
[15:30] <nanotube> nvm :)
[16:54] <Ostia^> hi
[16:55] <Ostia^> question is it possible to update easily from xubuntu 13.10 to 16.04?
[17:16] <xangua> Someone had a long 2 year nap
[17:17] <Ostia^> i have a 13.10 dvd at hand, thats why ask
[17:20] <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
[17:22] <Ostia^> i just burned a mini cd, that has to do then
[17:22] <xangua> A mini CD?
[17:23] <Ostia^> network install cd

[22:26] <xubuntu36w> I do not understand anything
[22:34] <cfhowlett> sounds like a life problem
[22:35] <xubuntu36w> yeah! it is
[22:35] <xubuntu36w> I'm new  into this linux thing
[22:36] <xubuntu36w> and I have some issues with my installation
[22:37] <xubuntu36w> and it seems no one is here
[22:37] <xubuntu36w> :(
