[15:32] <zincing> Maybe the most stupid question today, but... How do I start the terminal window in full size?
[15:39] <Spass> zincing: xfce4-terminal --maximize
[15:47] <SuperTramp83> Hi, I'm trying to install Xbuntu 16.10 (16.04 does not even get recognized by this laptop) on a Acer ES1-533-p4WC, but for the life of me, I can not manage to do it. Specifically, the installation freezes completely (keyboard unresponsive) when installing grub-efi. In BIOS I see only UEFI (no legacy BIOS) and secure boot is disabled. The machine came with Win10 preinstalled. I tried boot repair, no game, I tried manually partitioning the disk 
[15:50] <xangua> Why secure boot disabled?
[15:53] <zincing> Spass: I mean, how do I change it in the menu and when using Super-T?
[15:54] <SuperTramp83> xangua: I've read it is better to disable it in order to install anything non win10 on this machine
[15:54] <xangua> SuperTramp83: did you check the "install updates online"box?
[15:55] <SuperTramp83> xangua: I tried also installing latest fedora, same behavior. Tried with a win7 dvd I borrowed. Not even that.
[15:55] <SuperTramp83> xangua:  I tried that too, yes
[15:56] <xangua> SuperTramp83: I mean if you checked it... Tried with it disabled? At least there was a bug in the installer with that option checked in 16.04
[15:56] <SuperTramp83>  xangua: I tried every possible combination, checked and unchecked.
[15:59] <SuperTramp83> xangua: I installed many GNUx distros on a lot of laptops. This is the first time I can not manage to do it. I have no idea, I'm really confused. I am starting to think this laptop was completely locked down in order to make installation of anything nonWin10 impossible. But that is just a guess.
[16:00] <xangua> I just installed Ubuntu on my very first UEFI machine, I know the feeling
[16:00] <Spass> zincing: You can change Super+T behaviour in the Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts settings, and menu entry in the menu editor (menulibre). I don't know is there a 'global' way to do that.
[16:01] <xangua> You might have better chance of help in the main Ubuntu channel or forums SuperTramp83
[16:01] <Spass> zincing: You may try to change an entry for default terminal in the Preferred Applications settings.
[16:01] <SuperTramp83> hehe, already there xangua, tx
[16:02] <Spass> zincing: Just checked, works for me.
[16:06] <zincing> Spass: Thanks!
[17:26] <xubuntu76i> Hello, I'm new to Xubuntu, I used to run windows until it went all wierd on me, could anyone please give me advice on tips and tricks to make this experience easy?
[17:30] <xubuntu76i> Hello?!?? Anyone here know english?
[17:30] <Spass> xubuntu76i: Hello. That's a very general question. Do you have any problem or issue with Xubuntu right now?

[17:32] <GrandPa-G> I am using xfce4 via xubuntu dist. I am trying to get a wifi usb to work. It will only start working when I actually start the gui session, ie login. Any ideas how to get it to start at boot?
[17:34] <xubuntu76i> Does your computer have internal wifi?
[17:35] <GrandPa-G> no, it is a usb dongle. Works fine after I login in, just not before
[17:36] <xubuntu76i> unfortunately I'm new to Xubuntu, i've used Zorin linux for a couple years and it worked fine until I accidentally deleted the boot partition
[17:37] <xubuntu76i> I think, you may just have to keep doing it that way, not sure though, but I will however wish you all the best.
[17:38] <GrandPa-G> How do I get a autologin to work? I see instructions for lightdm conf file, but I don't seem to have one.
[17:39] <xubuntu76i> have you tried running the command in terminal? that's how I got my internal wifi working on my old laptop
[17:41] <xubuntu76i> you can do a youtube search for your problemand see if you get a hit there, I use youtube to help me solve problems all the time. Sometimesthey don't work the first time, but you may get faster help there than here.
[23:08] <andyman1> Hi. I'm trying to play sound on Xubuntu using my android phone as the audio source via bluetooth. phone -> xubuntu -> hdmi. (NOT the other way). I have the bluetooth device connected. I can see it in pavucontrol under input, I can see the audio indicator jumping around, but I can't seem to get it to play output. Could someone help?
