[00:49] <gabrielcho> Hi
[00:51] <glitchd> hello
[05:52] <nikolam> I freakin' updated xubuntu 14.04 install yesterday and now can't log in.. it is inside VirtualBox as a guest..
[05:53] <nikolam> does anyone test those updates
[05:53] <nikolam> button for power on login screen reacts, but wne menu opens it doesn't accept clicks
[05:54] <nikolam> same with login, entered password and.. nothing
[05:54] <nikolam> sounds like someone wanted to kill xubuntu with update that disables all installs
[05:57] <nikolam> doesn't react on ACPI shutdown..
[05:58] <nikolam> nor on ctrl alt delete
[05:59] <nikolam> nor on sending power signal
[06:00] <nikolam> And after force shutting, now logged in normally..
[06:01] <nikolam> and 'Report problem' window arises after login
[06:02] <nikolam> and now entering password for sudo reporting error, for 12th time..
[06:03] <nikolam> and in one of them, taking forever to actually display what problem is about..
[06:04] <nikolam> BUG: soft lock up: CPU#1 Stuck for 23s [Init:1]
[06:06] <nikolam> VirtualBox is unchained here for some time, so it's definitively something about xubuntu update
[06:07] <nikolam> So errors keep popping up
[06:08] <nikolam> for an LTS it's too much
[06:08] <nikolam> It have skype (inactive) and teamviewer installed (in background), not running on desktop
[06:15] <nikolam> There's some update..
[06:16] <nikolam> Needles to say these sort of xubuntu errors were unexpected and I needed proptly to log in this morning and now moment has passed
[12:53] <xubuntu19w>                     New User that I am I hope to find some old soldiers that can keep my powder dry. I have an older compaq presario that accepted 16.04 and when I tried on a toshiba laptop was rejected as per arch being 32 not 64 so the CP is a bit smarter.  So now that the prime is up and running on a direct connect it comes to mind that I should have put this box as the prime so that the install of the the CP would have discov
[19:21] <walkfar60> What does this message mean on booting Xubuntu 'Playback Volume 0 is already present' note this is'nt the complete message as I did'nt have time to read it all
[19:22] <knome> walkfar60, is there something that doesn't work?
[19:24] <walkfar60> knome,  Not as far as I know the message appears when I first switch on computer not after a restart. I have had thunar crashing when moving files though
[19:24] <knome> the thunar crashes are (unfortunately) know, but are unrelated to your message
[19:24] <knome> so if it doesn't affect anything, then i'd dismiss it as "nothing"
[19:26] <walkfar60> knome, I searched the net and only found one reference which did'nt lead anywhere (but it would be nice to know why I get this message even if nothing appears to be at fault)
[19:28] <walkfar60> knome, Just a thought I occasionaly use headphones in laptop jack maybe it is getting confused?
[19:28] <knome> that shouldn't be it
[19:29] <knome> it's probably related to your specific hardware
[19:29] <knome> but again, if it doesn't cause any issues, i'd just leave it :)
[19:29] <walkfar60> knome, What is playback volume as a matter of interest?
[19:29] <knome> the general volume level
[19:30] <knome> playback vs. recording
[19:30] <walkfar60> knome,  Ok thanks for info. signing off
[19:30] <knome> enjoy
[20:54] <hanshenrik> i did a *very* lightweight installation of lxde doing "apt-get install lightdm; apt-get install lxde-core --no-install-recommends;
[20:54] <hanshenrik> any idea how i get the Trash icon to work?
[20:55] <hanshenrik> some programs can move folders to Trash (like Baobab), but i dont have the trash icon
[20:55] <hanshenrik> i know its ~/.local/share/trash  or something,
[21:01] <knome> hanshenrik, lxde-core installs pcmanfm, which isn't even used by xubuntu; you might want to ask #lubuntu
[21:02] <hanshenrik> oh shit sorry, i mixed Xubuntu with Lubuntu, my bad
[22:22] <the-erm> Something happened ... I updated today and xubuntu won't let me change resolutions I"m stuck at 1920 x 1080.  I like a lower resolution, also I can't seem to adjust brightness now.
[22:22] <the-erm> What should I do?
[22:22] <the-erm> I've tried using arandr and the `display` program from the settings menu
[22:23] <the-erm> I'm old, and need a bigger resolution.
[22:41] <xubuntu52i> hello
[22:42] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: just use the display settings to change the resolution
[22:42] <xubuntu52i> how can i update firefox 35 to 40
[22:43] <gr1dl0ck> you mean 48?
[22:43] <xubuntu52i> no, sorry. i just saw firefox 50
[22:43] <xubuntu52i> on mozilla.org
[22:43] <the-erm> gr1dl0ck: That's the problem.  There are no other resolutions listed just 1920 x 1080.
[22:44] <gr1dl0ck> oh
[22:44] <the-erm> Before there were other resolutions and I had it set up to work at a lower resolution.
[22:44] <the-erm> the fonts were bigger, the icons were bigger ...
[22:44] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: can you remember what was updated?
[22:44] <the-erm> no.
[22:45] <the-erm> For all I know I screwed up a setting somewhere.
[22:45] <the-erm> The last thing I can remember changing was a grub option to allow for the tty terminals when you press ctrl+alt+f1
[22:46] <the-erm> Another chat room suggested to change the dpi, which I did, however that's for fonts, it does nothing for icons.
[22:47] <the-erm> Also ... I think it uses less video memory to run at a lower resolution so the computer is faster & less taxed.
[22:48] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: save the headaches and hassles, give your pc  a fresh install
[22:49] <the-erm> I installed in less than a month ago when I updated to 16.04.1
[22:49] <the-erm> If I'm going to re-install I'm going back to 14.04.2 :)
[22:49] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: is that still supported?
[22:49] <the-erm> Maybe I should just give up and go to arch.
[22:49] <the-erm> 2 more years...
[22:50] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: ugh i've tried it arch. I'm a simple kind of guy and arch is far from simple
[22:50] <the-erm> Well I'd go with mangero ... or antegros.
[22:51] <the-erm> I do a lot of dev, and kinda like the idea that I can dev on the same os as the server, but they run centos, and I'm not going to install that for a desktop.
[22:52] <the-erm> I guess I should say my current active client ...
[22:52] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: sounds like you're still on the distro hopping stage. Go for it. Been there done that. Enjoy :D
[22:52] <the-erm> I've been running xubuntu for years ...
[22:53] <the-erm> I usually stick with xubuntu/xfce because kde messed things up, then gnome messed things up.
[22:54] <the-erm> So I switched to xfce. It doesn't change as much, and I like that.
[22:55] <gr1dl0ck> the-erm: I'm on linuxlite, which is xubuntu
