| Marasgeon | greetings, are there any known issues with brightness in macbook pro? | 13:44 |
| knome | macbooks aren't officially supported | 13:45 |
| Marasgeon | someone has a problem : waking macbook from sleep, gives him black screen, in xubuntu 16.04, is there a workaround? | 13:47 |
| knome | as i said, macbooks aren't officially supported with xubuntu | 13:47 |
| Marasgeon | but there are mac users, using it right? | 13:48 |
| knome | likely. | 13:48 |
| Marasgeon | so there are no bug reports in xubuntu about macbooks? | 13:49 |
| knome | unless the same issue is confirmed to happen with supported hardware, no - or in other words, no macbook-specific bugs are considered "won't fix" by the xubuntu team | 13:51 |
| knome | s/no/all/ | 13:51 |
| Marasgeon | ok, thanks knome | 14:07 |

| xubuntu98w | Hello! Ctrl+Alt+N keyboard shortcut does not work in Jetbrains IDEs for me, even though it's set to Refactor->Inline. Ctrl+Alt+N is not bound to anything in xfce-keyboard-shortcuts or Keyboard->Application Shortcuts. Where else should I look? Other Ctrl+Alt+<something> combinations work in Jetbrains IDEs. | 17:13 |
| DarkAceZ | I'm about to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, but I don't have a place to back up my huge home folder to | 18:55 |
| DarkAceZ | how strongly is it recommended to have a backup before doing the install? | 18:55 |
| DarkAceZ | I'll be doing from the "livecd" (off of a flash drive) | 18:56 |
| giors | hi does anybody know how to install gnome theme on xubuntu? | 19:04 |
| knome | DarkAceZ, very, but it's your data, so if you are okay with the extremely slim but still possible risk of losing some or all, then you can do it without backups | 19:17 |
| knome | DarkAceZ, if you can back up only some, backup stuff you can't recreate or re-get by any means | 19:18 |
| knome | (think: prefer photos from family vacation from the other side 10 years ago over music ripped from your audio cd's) | 19:19 |
| knome | also, if you have a highly customized system, you might want to backup some of the configuration (. -folders) to save time - these are often relatively small | 19:19 |

| Justanick | Is there an option to update now to 16.04.2? | 20:53 |
| knome | if you are running 16.04, you'll get to .2 via regular updates, so no need for any extra actions | 20:54 |
| genii | Justanick: Feb 2 or just after. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule | 20:55 |
| Justanick | knome: The problem is, that I have regularly trouble with btrfs and hope that the new kernel of .2 has a few fixes for the trouble. | 20:56 |
| knome | yes, and effectively you don't need to bother with point releases; the only situation where one matters is when you download an ISO, and then you'll just want to get the latest available | 20:56 |
| Justanick | Running out of free space and the balancing make system unusable like now. ;) | 20:57 |
| knome | 4.8 kernels are already available in repositories if you specifically want to enable them now | 20:58 |
| Justanick | This is the case why I would like upgrade as early as possible | 20:59 |
| knome | not sure if they are the reason why the .2 release was postponed though | 20:59 |
| Justanick | knome: Thanks, I will give it a try. | 21:01 |
| turej | the xubuntu installer asks for a wifi connection in order to get "third party software" amongst other things. my question is: will i be allowed to choose which third party software to download? | 21:40 |
| turej | ? | 21:45 |
| turej | anyone? | 21:45 |
| turej | ?! | 21:46 |
| knome | patience places; you waited for less than 10 minutes | 21:47 |
| knome | and the answer is no; if you answer yes to that question though, the installer will install some multimedia codecs | 21:48 |
| turej | knome: what kind of third party software will it install | 21:48 |
| knome | you will obviously be able to control whatever packages are in your system after the installation is finished | 21:48 |
| knome | see above; i answered to that question already | 21:48 |
| turej | the thing is, from my liveusb experience, xubuntu is already using (by my standards) too much of the ram | 21:48 |
| turej | i fear that if the third party software is installed, it'll get worse | 21:49 |
| turej | are my fears irrational and false in nature | 21:49 |
| knome | not unless you use them; you can always opt-in to install them later, so you don't need to install them now | 21:49 |
| knome | mostly yes; the third party libraries will only use your resources when they are in use | 21:49 |
| turej | knome: if i refuse to connect to the internet during the installation, will i be able to get all the updates through "apt-get dist-upgrade" later? | 21:50 |
| knome | as long as you have an internet connection at that point, yes | 21:50 |
| knome | the installer doesn't do any "magical" things; its point is to make your life easier | 21:51 |
| turej | knome: im on a 32bit system, and xubuntu at startup is using up about 500mb ram, what could be the cause | 21:51 |
| turej | i saw within countless reviews that it used less than 300mb at startup | 21:51 |
| knome | countless reviews where? | 21:51 |
| knome | you can likely boot xubuntu with less than 512MB of memory, using it isn't recommended | 21:52 |
| turej | knome: why in all of earth's glory is xubuntu using up about 500mb ram at startup | 21:52 |
| turej | that is the question | 21:52 |
| knome | it's a modern operating system and it has various services running | 21:53 |
| turej | i meant that i had read many reviews, and in them it was stated that xubuntu at startup took up about 250mb | 21:53 |
| turej | in my case, it's taking about 500+ mb | 21:53 |
| knome | are the reviews talking about the same release? | 21:54 |
| turej | yes | 21:54 |
| knome | you can use the task manager to see what is eating your memory | 21:54 |
| turej | knome: my RAM is 4GB, "hardinfo" showed that it was using up about 500MB | 21:55 |
| turej | however | 21:55 |
| turej | the task manager showed that only 4% or 8% cpu was in usage | 21:55 |
| turej | 'top' said the same thing | 21:55 |
| knome | RAM isn't CPU though | 21:55 |
| turej | actually top said about 0.8% | 21:55 |
| turej | knome: but surely if it takes up a lot of RAM, the system will be slowed down? | 21:56 |
| knome | actually no, it's a combination of several things | 21:57 |
| turej | knome: keep in mind that i found all this out during a liveusb experience | 21:59 |
| turej | is it possible that less than 400mb at startup will be used after the system is installed | 21:59 |
| knome | that's a different thing too; booting into xubuntu and using X amount of RAM is different than booting the liveusb | 21:59 |
| knome | yes. | 21:59 |
| turej | knome: is your system encrypted | 22:00 |
| turej | i was wondering whether it'd be any good to have a distro encrypted | 22:01 |
| knome | do you handle very private files and take your computer to public places? | 22:02 |
| turej | nope | 22:02 |
| knome | anyway, the question is very subjective; some consider any data about their usage to need encryption, others do not mind | 22:03 |
| turej | ok knome thank you for your somewhat technical help | 22:05 |
| turej | i'll be on my way to install xubuntu | 22:05 |
| knome | have fun | 22:05 |
| turej | is there anything you'd like to say before i do that | 22:05 |
| knome | the above :) | 22:05 |
| turej | :) | 22:05 |
| turej | thanks again! | 22:05 |
| DarkAceZ | <knome> also, if you have a highly customized system, you might want to backup some of the configuration (. -folders) to save time - these are often relatively small | 23:14 |
| DarkAceZ | this is just in case of data loss, right? | 23:14 |
| knome | all backups are in case of data loss, right? :) | 23:14 |
| DarkAceZ | okay, just checking to make sure the update doesn't refresh configs or something :-P | 23:14 |
| DarkAceZ | thanks for the info, it's helpful | 23:15 |
| knome | no, it shouldn't | 23:15 |
