Hail_Spacecake | trying to troubleshoot a xubuntu problem | 01:57 |
---|---|---|
Hail_Spacecake | when I log in, I get to a screen that has just the background | 01:57 |
Hail_Spacecake | and mouse cursor | 01:57 |
Hail_Spacecake | no desktop icons, no menus | 01:57 |
Hail_Spacecake | alt-f2 to pop up loading applications works, actually running applications like this works | 01:58 |
Hail_Spacecake | and the subsystem that shows the popups for things like network connectivity works | 01:58 |
Hail_Spacecake | so I assume there's just one x-related program that failed to load | 01:58 |
Hail_Spacecake | also what's the difference between xfce session and xubuntu session? | 01:59 |

astraljava | Hi all, would anyone know where to look when my mouse pointer disappears after logging in to a locked session? It is visible just fine after an initial login from boot-up. I can resolve it by going into a virtual terminal and switching back to GUI, so it's not a show-stopper. | 07:15 |
flocculant | astraljava: 16.04? intel? | 07:19 |
astraljava | flocculant: Yep x 2 | 07:26 |
astraljava | Up-to-date too, no pending updates. | 07:26 |
flocculant | astraljava: bug 1568604 | 07:27 |

xubuntu33d | I have a question before I roll back to 14.04.1 again LOL I use three monitors, about 6 hard drives, dual boot Win 8 Pro. After upgrading all works fine but the wallpaper or right click desktop after I open any folder? | 11:29 |
xubuntu33d | The right click menu is basically gone & the wallpaper goes to some default ocean front? | 11:30 |
knome | try pressing alt+f2 and running xfdesktop | 11:30 |
xubuntu33d | i7, gtx 1080, newest nvidia drivers | 11:30 |
xubuntu33d | Ok I wrote that down I will try it is there a fix? | 11:31 |
xubuntu15d | wallpaper fix for three monitors? | 12:00 |
xubuntu15d | opening any folder flips it to default | 12:01 |
xubuntu15d | running xf-desktop settings show the correct wallpaper but it doesn't change until I restart. Then it stays until I open a folder? | 12:03 |
xubuntu72w | Hi! Could anybody help me? Sorry for grammar.. I downloaded the latest xubuntu 64bit package, moved it onto usb flash using unetbootin, tried to istall. But.. It freezes when blue-like wallpaper comes on the screen. Checked distrib for errors - seems to be no problems with that. What's wrong? Maybe, someone knows.. | 12:07 |
G4b1t | xubuntu72w: please try to make a bootable usb using Rufus | 12:13 |
xubuntu23w | Hi! I installed the latest version of xubuntu, but screen resolution sucks:D I tried to change it in display settings, but there's only one option - 640*480 and nothing more. Seems to be something with display driver (C.O. ahah!). But maybe someone would tell me how exactly I can try to fix it? Thanks | 14:58 |
xubuntu23w | p.s. soryy for gramar | 14:59 |
cfhowlett | xubuntu23w, you might need to install graphics drivers for full capability | 14:59 |
xubuntu23w | I'm a failure sorry can you tell what I have to do?:D | 15:01 |
cfhowlett | !nvidia | 15:02 |
ubottu | For nvidia and matrox graphics cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto . For AMD/ATI graphics cards, see « /msg ubottu ati » and « /msg ubottu fglrxmissing » | 15:02 |
cfhowlett | !amd | 15:02 |
ubottu | Open driver for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2) fglrx (older cards, unsupported by AMD in 16.04+). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units . For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD | 15:02 |
xubuntu23w | okay I'll try to google the instructions:D | 15:03 |
xubuntu23w | thanks)) | 15:03 |

Herbert | I have just installed Xubuntu 16 32bit and everything is great except the software download application isn't working. There are just dots where everything should be listed. Is there a solution to this? | 18:21 |
knome | i guess you mean xubuntu 16.04 | 18:21 |
Herbert | Yes. | 18:22 |
knome | haven't heard or seen the problem you describe, but as a workaround, you can use any package manager | 18:23 |
Herbert | It shows the catagories but no apps. only dots. Even installed software just has spinning symbol. | 18:23 |
Herbert | It had a pop up window saying to shop with an "OK" button. After that, nothing. | 18:25 |
Herbert | I can try reloading the OS. I have to be able to get updates. | 18:27 |
knome | did you read what i said? | 18:27 |
Herbert | Does the workaround provide updates? | 18:28 |
knome | the software handling updates is separate | 18:28 |
knome | sure, you can run the updates from package managers too, but that's not mandatory | 18:28 |
Herbert | Ok. Thank you. | 18:28 |
knome | and yes, any other package manager can start the update process too | 18:29 |
knome | and if it's a new installation, redownloading likely won't help | 18:29 |
knome | have you searched launchpad.net if somebody has reported that bug? | 18:29 |
Unit193 | Could try refreshing software sources, purge and re-install appstream stuff, etc. | 18:29 |
knome | Unit193 gives good advice too, if you have the time to go through some steps | 18:30 |
Herbert | I will go there now. | 18:30 |
Herbert | How do you refresh software sources? | 18:37 |
mrkramps | Herbert, in case of doubt in terminal:$ sudo apt-get update | 18:41 |
TheQuestionmark | Just upgraded my housemate's system from 14.04 to 16.04 what resulted in having no network connection after reboot. Is this a common issue and if so, what can be done to fix this? | 20:02 |
drumcode303 | test | 20:40 |
genii | !test | 20:50 |
ubottu | Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... | 20:50 |
drumcode303 | i'm new to linux and just managed to install xubuntu :) | 20:53 |
genii | drumcode303: Well, you have found the channel on Freenode which is for the support of Xubuntu, so you seem to be doing all right so far | 20:56 |
drumcode303 | i wanted to install opera as a browser (though i'm looking to install fifth-browser later on, which probably requires a lot more knowledge). now, after opening the .deb package: is the programme that handles the installation named "software"? the alt+tab window name is "gnome software". i don't see through. and there's more: during the password prompt there was a pop-up in the top right corner: opera has been installed... | 21:01 |
GeekDude | My poor AMD GPU :( | 21:03 |
GeekDude | drumcode303: have you checked to see if opera actually was installed? | 21:03 |
drumcode303 | i'm just did that I think, in the software list. there is still an install button, so it may seem it's not installed yet. though when I click the button it asks me: are you sure you want to remove opera-stable... - i'm not sure if it's installed or not. :D | 21:06 |
GeekDude | drumcode303: check in your whisker menu | 21:06 |
GeekDude | It should have appeared in there automatically if it was installed correctly (I think) | 21:07 |
drumcode303 | how would I go there? | 21:07 |
drumcode303 | the search button top left doesn't know whisker either :p | 21:08 |
GeekDude | The whisker menu is the Xfce/Xubuntu equivalent of the start menu | 21:10 |
drumcode303 | would opera be in /opt if it was installed? | 21:10 |
genii | Most likely | 21:10 |
drumcode303 | not in whisker, i'm going to hit the install button in software. | 21:11 |
GeekDude | If you don't mind using the terminal, you can try dpkg to install and/or check if it is installed | 21:11 |
GeekDude | dpkg -l | grep opera-stable # Checks if opera is in the list of installed packages | 21:12 |
GeekDude | sudo dpkg -i opera-stable_39.0.2256.48_amd64.deb # Installs the deb package | 21:12 |
drumcode303 | i'm on 32bit, so it's i386 :-) but i'll try out the first command, as now i have a red remove button at least, but no entry in software and none in whisker, hmm. | 21:15 |
drumcode303 | i looked for opera in whisker, it's there i've started it. it's not in /opt though. I'm deeply confused. and still not in the installed list in software, checked up and down twice. | 21:18 |
drumcode303 | the dpkg lists opera with ii infront | 21:19 |
GeekDude | drumcode303: what if you type just 'opera' into your terminal? | 21:22 |
drumcode303 | it opens a new tab | 21:23 |
GeekDude | ah sorry, I didn't see that you had found it in the whisker menu | 21:23 |
drumcode303 | where is it installed now if not in /opt? | 21:23 |
GeekDude | /usr/bin/opera? | 21:23 |
GeekDude | If you run 'which opera' in your terminal it should tell you where opera is. | 21:25 |
drumcode303 | in usr it seems to be a link only: ../lib/i386-linux-gnu/opera/opera | 21:25 |
GeekDude | It tells me /usr/bin/opera. If I run 'll /usr/bin/opera' it tells me it's a shortcut to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/opera | 21:26 |
drumcode303 | cool! it says usr/bin/opera | 21:26 |
GeekDude | If you're looking for the opera configuration files, those would be in your home directory somewhere | 21:27 |
GeekDude | ~/.config/opera I think | 21:27 |
drumcode303 | as a means to save them? can't edit them from within opera? | 21:28 |
drumcode303 | opening websites or the settings tab won't do anything but show a white page. ok. | 21:30 |
drumcode303 | but the website icons are loaded into the tabs | 21:34 |
GeekDude | I don | 21:58 |
GeekDude | I don't suppose there's a way for me to debug why enabling the dedicated gpu in 16.04 makes my system highly unstable? | 21:58 |
GeekDude | I'm doing it by enabling the DRI_PRIME env variable for the specific applications I want to run with my AMD GPU | 21:59 |
GeekDude | Otherwise everything runs off intel gfx | 21:59 |
GeekDude | And by highly unstable I mean either the X server freezes up (leaving only the cursor working), or the system freezes then crashes outright | 22:01 |
drumcode303 | i don't have sound. how do I check whether I have drivers for onboard sound? | 22:14 |
drumcode303 | ok i have sound: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav - just not when playing videos in vlc or parole media player | 22:22 |
drumcode303 | fixed that, too :) | 22:33 |
