[01:33] I am trying to run x11vnc on xubuntu without being logged in. How does that work? [01:33] i vnc in and just see a black screen. [01:34] Try adding -auth /run/lightdm/root/:0 [01:37] let me give me that a shot. [01:39] no dice... [01:41] x11vnc generally gives a lot of output, is it saying something interesting? [01:42] is this: sudo x11vnc -xkb -noxrecord -noxfixes -noxdamage -display :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -usepw [01:43] because xubuntu uses lightdm :) === Zren_ is now known as Zren [02:07] 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] How do you fix that? [02:36] hello [02:37] who has successfully upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04.01 ? [02:39] talk or live [02:40] sleepers [03:41] GeekDude: No, I can't change the sort order. I seems to have "locked" the possibility to sort. [03:42] I don't have any clue then [03:53] GeekDude: Thanks anyway! [04:09] hi [04:09] 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] 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] hello [04:36] hi [04:44] Is Xubuntu more for advanced users? or beginners too? [04:48] hello [04:48] can I install unity on xubuntu? [04:48] without any issues [04:49] why would you want to do that? just install ubuntu [04:49] erm.. to switch between [04:49] de [04:50] unity is tightly integrated with ubuntu. NOT integrated with xubuntu. expect the unexpected [04:50] what about mate? [04:50] ubuntu mate* [04:50] but if you insist: install the ubuntu-desktop package [04:50] 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] Codfection, same caution applies but mate is not so integral as unity is. [04:51] cfhowlett, so it should work fine ? :( [04:51] 90% = fine. [04:51] oh.. [04:51] :( [04:51] how to run mate and xfce on ubuntu same [04:52] Codfection, did not say you couldn't but the overall result may be less smooth than unity [04:52] I cant live without xubuntu.. (xfce).. and I like to use mate sometimes. [04:52] th3Dotor, 1. enable firewall 2. review your privacy settings in firefox [04:52] I dont care about unity [04:52] thanks [04:53] th3Dotor, happy2help! [04:53] cfhowlett, [07:50] FernandoBasso, whats up :) [08:13] 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] I tried to switch on tty1 with ctrl+alt+f1 or the other ones, but it doesn't work [08:14] Keyboard seems activated, the led of the mute button switch when I press it. [08:15] I'm on a Lenovo x230 laptop with Intel Graphic chipset, so no conflict with Nvidia optimus/bumblebee [08:15] Pipapop, suggest you reboot in nomodeset [08:15] !nomodeset [08:15] 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 [08:16] interesting, thanks [08:16] your upgrade should have worked but [08:17] things get scrambled at times. I believe you have dual gpu's. defaulting to the intel should be standard behavior [08:19] I think I only have one gpu, or else it's pretty well hidden and a masterpiece of miniaturization ^^ [08:20] they are often integrated in the CPU today. [08:20] yep, it's the Intel one [08:21] the bumblebee ones are "one" GPU too, fwiw [08:21] 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] but i believe you ;) [08:21] Pipapop, indeed [08:25] 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] Pipapop, I think the process is to chroot the installed menu but please read ... [08:26] ok found out [08:26] !grub [08:26] 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] sorry [08:26] no worries [08:28] 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] Pipapop, please remember that this is a family-friendly channel [08:30] i'm sorry :) [08:37] 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] Pipapop, no it's a one time gig to get you access. once you have your system sorted, remove it [08:38] ok, great, thanks [08:44] Thanks for the help. I'll give it a try. Bye! [09:25] 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] 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] Pipapop, bring this to #ubuntu - more eyes to see [09:29] ok [12:03] 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] 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] 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? === Zren_ is now known as Zren [15:30] nvm :) [16:54] hi [16:55] question is it possible to update easily from xubuntu 13.10 to 16.04? [17:16] Someone had a long 2 year nap [17:17] i have a 13.10 dvd at hand, thats why ask [17:20] 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] i just burned a mini cd, that has to do then [17:22] A mini CD? [17:23] network install cd [17:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:58] Can Xubuntu be used for Android ROM compilation? [21:59] Can Xubuntu be used for Android ROM compilation? [21:59] Can Xubuntu be used for Android ROM compilation? [22:01] like build AOSP from source? [22:04] anyone? [22:21] da [22:26] I do not understand anything [22:34] sounds like a life problem [22:35] yeah! it is [22:35] I'm new into this linux thing [22:36] and I have some issues with my installation [22:37] and it seems no one is here [22:37] :(
