=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:31] Donald Trump versus the New World Order - 1 of 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAOcccVmaYE [02:35] 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] i don't know if the problem are on my lap top or in the software or on the compatibility [02:38] in the last version down of 14 i never had this problem please i need a help [06:39] Hello. Does Xubuntu comes with some tool to create bootable USB stick with .. Xubuntu ? :) [06:40] install unetbootin [06:43] use that to create a bootable USB stick. add up to 10GB 'persistance' so you can save files to the stick [06:46] thanks ObrienDave, I'll try it soom. The UI looks pretty ugly, seems I am missing mtools package also [06:47] but the final goal is to have a working USB stick [06:47] it's not pretty, but it works [06:51] didn't work for me - used the ubuntu tool and/or gnome disks [06:54] flocculant, ubuntu tool ? [06:56] brb [07:07] sorinello: usb creator [07:14] 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] is deleting the file ok ? [07:14] I did :) [07:14] not sure where it came from - but I just deleted it [07:17] sorinello_: though I did have a properly named version as well [07:19] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Apr 29 23:11 20auto-upgrades [07:19] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 Oct 14 09:43 20auto-upgrades.ucf-old [07:19] I have one too :) [07:19] k - delete it [07:20] flocculant, all good now, thanks [07:20] welcome === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon [09:38] 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? === jast is now known as Guest91374 [09:59] Normally the upgrade process will disable them.. but to be on the safe disabling the ppa's wont hurt anyting.. [10:12] akxwi-dave: And when I disable the ppa's, then I have to 'remove' the keys manually as well, I assume? [10:13] 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] 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] akxwi-dave: Thanks. [10:20] :-) [10:22] 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] Anyway, thanks once more. [11:56] Point me in a direction please [11:57] --> [11:57] there you go [11:58] 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] ---> going that way.. ty [13:47] 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] xubuntu56w, settings -> hardware -> display [13:50] Yes, and then I see only the desktop on the external one [15:35] Hey, can someone help me upgrade to xubuntu 16.10? [15:35] "sudo do-release-upgrade" or "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" both result in No new releases found... [15:36] somedude23: you need to set upgrade to look for normal releases [15:36] at least I assume you are trying to upgrade from 16.04 to 16.10 for some reason? [15:37] yes, I'm on 16.04 [15:38] http://docs.xubuntu.org/1610/user/C/managing-applications.html#update-configuration [15:38] somedude23: you do know that 16.04 is supported for 3 years and 16.10 for 9 months I trust [15:39] and that to undo the upgrade you'll have to reinstall 16.04 [15:39] flocculant: reason to upgrade: cryptsetup 1.6.6 => cryptsetup 1.7.2 [15:39] and that you'll have to go 16.10 > 17.04 > 17.10 > 18.04 :) [15:39] and this used to be a non-LTS installation that updated itself to LTS for some reason [15:39] yep - ok - just making sure you'll not come back in 8 months upset and all that :p [15:40] nah, this PC is scheduled for format anyway... [15:40] anyway - set it to look for any new version and try again :) [15:42] ah, found it. stupid obscure options :) [15:43] :) [15:44] bleh [15:44] The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 108 M free space on disk '/boot'. [15:45] should have created a 512MB /boot instead of 256M [15:46] somedude23: clear out old kernels - you only need 1 :) [15:47] looks like I have 2 [15:47] I'll clear out linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic [15:53] alright, downloading update... might take a while. [16:10] Hello all [16:11] 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] xrandr is listing my discreet card twice...

[23:11] also, a program with a name like "dbus-menu" uses 100% [23:11] cpu [23:12] "dbus-daemon" [23:16] does anyone here know what rpcbind is for? [23:16] why does it hold an open port (111) on my computer? [23:17] is it because i have nfs installed? === bazhang__ is now known as bazhang
