[02:35] <xubuntu62w> i have a problem with the software because i cant run some things like the store app and other apps of the libre office
[02:36] <xubuntu62w> i don't know if the problem are on my lap top or in the software or on the compatibility
[02:38] <xubuntu62w> in the last version down of 14 i never had this problem please i need a help
[06:39] <sorinello_> Hello. Does Xubuntu comes with some tool to create bootable USB stick with .. Xubuntu ? :)
[06:40] <ObrienDave> install unetbootin
[06:43] <ObrienDave> use that to create a bootable USB stick. add up to 10GB 'persistance' so you can save files to the stick
[06:46] <sorinello_> thanks ObrienDave, I'll try it soom. The UI looks pretty ugly, seems I am missing mtools package also
[06:47] <sorinello_> but the final goal is to have a working USB stick
[06:47] <ObrienDave> it's not pretty, but it works
[06:51] <flocculant> didn't work for me - used the ubuntu tool and/or gnome disks
[06:54] <sorinello_> flocculant, ubuntu tool ?
[06:56] <sorinello_> brb
[07:07] <flocculant> sorinello: usb creator
[07:14] <sorinello_> flocculant, any Idea how can I get rid of this ? N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
[07:14] <sorinello_> is deleting the file ok ?
[07:14] <flocculant> I did :)
[07:14] <flocculant> not sure where it came from - but I just deleted it
[07:17] <flocculant> sorinello_: though I did have a properly named version as well
[07:19] <sorinello_> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   80 Apr 29 23:11 20auto-upgrades
[07:19] <sorinello_> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  168 Oct 14 09:43 20auto-upgrades.ucf-old
[07:19] <sorinello_> I have one too :)
[07:19] <flocculant> k - delete it
[07:20] <sorinello_> flocculant, all good now, thanks
[07:20] <flocculant> welcome
[09:38] <Fernando-Basso> http://askubuntu.com/questions/768569/ubuntu-16-04-update-manager-error/784977 Should people proceed like described in the accepted answer before upgrading to a new release?
[09:59] <akxwi-dave> Normally the upgrade process will disable them.. but to be on the safe disabling the ppa's wont hurt anyting..
[10:12] <Fernando-Basso> akxwi-dave: And when I disable the ppa's, then I have to 'remove' the keys manually as well, I assume?
[10:13] <Fernando-Basso> The guy said "You obviously did a system upgrade without having removed the external repositories before." That was mean. I have never seen in any piece of docs that we should do that manually.
[10:19] <akxwi-dave> very true... it was mean.. I have never had to manually remove them either..  but looking at that article it appears to be due to a specific  ppa..  the upgrade process normally disable them and lets you add them back in later
[10:20] <Fernando-Basso> akxwi-dave: Thanks.
[10:20] <akxwi-dave>  :-)
[10:22] <Fernando-Basso> I found that question when I did the upgrad to 16.04 (I had a similar problem, with vbox, if I am not mistaken). Since this is a working machine, I am afraid of wasting time with something that could be easily avoided.
[10:22] <Fernando-Basso> Anyway, thanks once more.
[11:56] <dadore> Point me in a direction please
[11:57] <knome> -->
[11:57] <knome> there you go
[11:58] <dadore> clean load of 16.10 - nvidia 9800 video card - tried 2 different proprietery drivers and the xorg nvidia driver - same results.  when locking the system and coming back to it, screen is black, sometimes with a mouse pointer.  can not ctrl-alt-f3, f4, etc.. black screen too.. have to reboot  .  what should I look at?
[11:59] <dadore> --->  going that way.. ty
[13:47] <xubuntu56w> How can I view (with a HDMI cable) my desktop on an external monitor AND at the same time on the internal monitor of my laptop?
[13:49] <SuperSeriousCat> xubuntu56w, settings -> hardware -> display
[13:50] <xubuntu56w> Yes, and then I see only the desktop on the external one
[15:35] <somedude23> Hey, can someone help me upgrade to xubuntu 16.10?
[15:35] <somedude23> "sudo do-release-upgrade" or "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" both result in No new releases found...
[15:36] <flocculant> somedude23: you need to set upgrade to look for normal releases
[15:36] <flocculant> at least I assume you are trying to upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 for some reason?
[15:37] <somedude23> yes, I'm on 16.04
[15:38] <flocculant> http://docs.xubuntu.org/1610/user/C/managing-applications.html#update-configuration
[15:38] <flocculant> somedude23: you do know that 16.04 is supported for 3 years and 16.10 for 9 months I trust
[15:39] <flocculant> and that to undo the upgrade you'll have to reinstall 16.04
[15:39] <somedude23> flocculant: reason to upgrade: cryptsetup 1.6.6 => cryptsetup 1.7.2
[15:39] <flocculant> and that you'll have to go 16.10 > 17.04 > 17.10 > 18.04 :)
[15:39] <somedude23> and this used to be a non-LTS installation that updated itself to LTS for some reason
[15:39] <flocculant> yep - ok - just making sure you'll not come back in 8 months upset and all that :p
[15:40] <somedude23> nah, this PC is scheduled for format anyway...
[15:40] <flocculant> anyway - set it to look for any new version and try again :)
[15:42] <somedude23> ah, found it. stupid obscure options :)
[15:43] <flocculant> :)
[15:44] <somedude23> bleh
[15:44] <somedude23> The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 108 M free space on disk '/boot'.
[15:45] <somedude23> should have created a 512MB /boot instead of 256M
[15:46] <flocculant> somedude23: clear out old kernels - you only need 1 :)
[15:47] <somedude23> looks like I have 2
[15:47] <somedude23> I'll clear out linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic
[15:53] <somedude23> alright, downloading update... might take a while.
[16:10] <yawoodentbuleev> Hello all
[16:11] <yawoodentbuleev> I just ran into an unusual issue with hybrid graphics, similar to what I've seen all around, but not quite the same
[16:11] <yawoodentbuleev> xrandr is listing my discreet card twice...
[16:11] <yawoodentbuleev> discrete*

[23:09] <redblade> hi
[23:09] <redblade> i upgraded from xenial to yakkety last night
[23:10] <redblade> occasionally i am having all kinds of chaos with this error message:
[23:10] <redblade> "Failed to determine seats for user 1000: too many open files"
[23:10] <redblade> (reading this off the top of my memory as i'm using another computer)
[23:10] <redblade> i'm guessing user 1000 refers to the uid
[23:11] <redblade> but is anyone else having this problem after an upgrade to yakkety, and how to fix it?
[23:11] <redblade> also, a program with a name like "dbus-menu" uses 100%
[23:11] <redblade> cpu
[23:12] <redblade> "dbus-daemon"
[23:16] <Pwnna> does anyone here know what rpcbind is for?
[23:16] <Pwnna> why does it hold an open port (111) on my computer?
[23:17] <Pwnna> is it because i have nfs installed?
