[00:19] <codebrainz> hi. sometimes, very rarely, when I resume my computer from sleep and the login box comes up (lightdm?) the mouse cursor is stuck in the middle of the screen and I can't use my computer. If I try and restart the lightdm service everything locks up. Upon rebooting, the USB mouse doesn't work and my screens are swapped which one is primary, then after about 30 seconds everything goes back to normal. Anyone know what's going on?
[00:44] <Wayward_Vagabond> Guys, my mystery power down was power outage
[00:45] <Wayward_Vagabond> the battery must've just had time to recharge itself before I booted up
[03:56] <xubuntu87d> thank you
[03:57] <xubuntu87d> exit
[11:59] <ewet> can I get Thunar to honor `LC_COLLATE=C` in Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS?
[13:46] <bigman_> I have a problem trying to reset the date to 2014...
[13:47] <knome> it's 2016...
[13:52] <bigman_> I know, its because I usually use a windows partition to use a piece of software, which is cracked and to run the date needs to be in 2014, im running windows through virtualbox, but changing the date in ubuntu which is then passed to virtualbox, is not working...
[13:53] <bigman_> im in xubuntu, ive tried changing it in gui, no effect, command line with sudo date --set, not working either
[13:53] <knome> we will not help with illegal activities.
[13:53]  * pavlushka thinks its interesting
[13:53] <bigman_> changing the date isnt illegal
[13:54] <pavlushka> bigman_: are you a lawyer?
[13:54] <bigman_> no
[13:56] <bigman_> is that attempt at sarcasm?
[13:56] <pavlushka> bigman_: sorry, my bad.
[13:57] <bigman_> why would xubuntu not be letting me change the date?
[13:58] <bigman_> if i reboot and sudo date --set, it stays for about a minute and then gets updated to the real time...
[13:58] <knome> bigman_, i told you we will not help with illegal activites or help you get doing them.
[14:00] <bigman_> alright, ill find some help somewhere else
[14:06] <bigman_> is this place just for questions about operating system, because I have fcitx handeling my language input, and I set the hotkey for changing input methods but it just isnt working, I frequently change between four languages and i dont like having to click languages i want to use all the time...
[14:07] <bigman_> i would like it so that i just hit ctrl+space or something that will cycle through the languages, i set it through gui and through the .config/fcitx...
[14:13] <pavlushka> bigman_: I set my language switching combination to "left_alt+left_shift" and its perfectly working, I set it using gui keyboard options.
[14:14] <pavlushka> bigman_: দেথতে চান? :p
[14:15] <bigman_> in fcitx configuration? what script is that? some sub-script on hindi etc..?
[14:16] <pavlushka> bigman_: that is close, Its Bengali complex-script.
[14:17] <bigman_> in global config i have it set to enable the hotkey, but still not working...
[14:20] <bigman_> i can read a few sanskrit languages, the bengali script looks still to have common features
[14:20] <pavlushka> bigman_: you have to uncheck the "use system defaults" option first.
[14:21] <bigman_> where is that option?
[14:21]  * pavlushka is on imguring a screenshot
[14:23] <bigman_> how do i view that screenshot?
[14:26] <pavlushka> bigman_: here http://imgur.com/a/YdXkJ
[14:31] <bigman_> ah i see, I unchecked use system defaults, but I never installed keyboards using the 'keyboard' application, in 'language support' i set the keyboard input method system to fcitx, and then in fcitx installed the keyboard, because for my chinese the sogou interface is only on fcitx...
[14:47] <bigman_> @pavlushka, guest89318: I solved the problem, it seems as though the fcitx gui does not list all the available features that exist within the config file in .config/fcitx/config. I uncommented the lines IMSwitchKey=True, and IMSwitchHotkey=... and then restarted fcitx and it now works,
[14:48] <pavlushka> bigman_:  congratulations!!
[14:48] <bigman_> thanks for all the help that you could give, i solved the date change problem too. Now i need to go to sleep, up early tommrrow
[14:49] <pavlushka> lol sure
[14:49] <bigman_> 晚安 - wan-an - goodnight
[14:50] <pavlushka> bigman_: copy that, I'll paste it somewhere else :p
[20:46] <atello> Hello everyone
[20:56] <qrobot> Hello
[20:57] <qrobot> I'm using xubuntu 16.04.1 and for some weird reason, I'm not being notified for updates
[20:57] <qrobot> Has anyone encountered this?
[20:58] <qrobot> I don't know if it's a xubuntu problem or a ubuntu problem..
[20:58] <atello> which updates? system? software?
[20:59] <qrobot> I guess neither. In 15.10 there used to be an icon in the panel saying there are new updates to install, and now I don't see it anymore, even after 2 weeks
[21:00] <qrobot> if I go to the Store, then I can see I need to update few things
[21:00] <atello> I don't see that icon either, come to think of it
[21:00] <atello> Might be that the software updater service isn't running on boot?
[21:01] <atello> let me check, my startup settings are untouched
[21:01] <qrobot> only after visiting the "Store" I get a window with a notification to update the computer. But still nothing in the taskbar panel
[21:01] <atello> update notifier is enabled
[21:01] <atello> yeah same
[21:02] <qrobot> and even if the computer is working for hours I don't get a notification. Is that your situation as well?
[21:02] <atello> I haven't gotten a single notification in the panel since I installed last week. I know for a fact there have been updates (I run apt update/upgrade scripts every morning)
[21:02] <atello> Might just be a bug with the applet
[21:03] <qrobot> Hmmm
[21:04] <qrobot> it's a problem for people who are using xubuntu and aren't >= powerusers
[21:05] <atello> meaning "fix it yourself" types?
[21:05] <atello> I probably could, but I usually disable those notifications anyway, so it doesn't bother me.
[21:06] <atello> I have a cron task to take care of that, so whatever :)
[21:06] <qrobot> hehe
[21:06] <qrobot> Do you think it
[21:06] <qrobot> Do you think it's a xubuntu problem or a ubuntu one?
[21:07] <atello> probably xubuntu seeing as how that applet is an xfce4 applet. I don't recall if ubuntu itself uses the same software updater.
[21:07] <atello> It might be tied to that actually
[21:08] <atello> there doesn't seem to be settings for notifications from the software updater
[21:09] <atello> interesting, wonder if this has been reported already.
[21:09] <atello> If you're so inclined, go dig through the bug tracker
[21:17] <qrobot> Well, it seems no one is talking about this recent issue
[21:21] <qrobot> well, someone advised to reinstall update-notifier and update-notifier-common. I hope it works
[21:22] <atello> let us know if it works
[21:22] <qrobot> well, I'll try it and report tomorrow if it helped. I will go to sleep in the meanwhile. Thanks :)
[21:22] <atello> sure thing, have a good one
[22:31] <nolandda> Hello. I have gotten myself into a sticky situation upgrading from 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS.
[22:33] <nolandda> I upgraded a parallels VM and I think something is awry with the fancy LUKS/cryptsetup splash screen.
[22:33] <nolandda> Because the graphical display doesn't come up.
[22:34] <nolandda> But if I switch to one of the virtual terminals I can see that the ramdisk envitonment is running and will take a login.
[22:35] <nolandda> But I don't have any logins I am aware of for that env.
[22:35] <nolandda> So how do I provide LUKS/cryptsetup with the passphrase?
[22:36] <nolandda> Or am I stuck extracting the disk image and shuffling it over to a machine where I can mount it?
[23:18] <MrRobot7> is Xubuntu 16.10 being developed/released along side the Ubuntu 16.10 releases?  I mean the Beta's and RC's etc
[23:19] <MrRobot7> i'm on 15.10, and would like to try out 16.10 on a non-prod desktop is why I ask
[23:22] <krytarik> MrRobot7: Yes - only Beta 2 and Final too though, otherwise Dailies.
[23:25] <MrRobot7> k, and Beta 2 is still a few weeks out correct?  I saw a roadmap indicating Sep 22
[23:27] <krytarik> Correct.
[23:28] <MrRobot7> k thx
