[00:18] Hey, I just installed Xubuntu and am having some issues booting. Could someone help me? [00:29] Anyone? === Zren_ is now known as Zren === cmcmanis is now known as chuckmcm [07:51] is there a keyboard shortcut that I can use to kill open apps quickly ??? [08:09] xubuntu31d: you can ctrl+alt+esc and click on the app === knome_ is now known as knome [13:44] greetings, are there any known issues with brightness in macbook pro? [13:45] macbooks aren't officially supported [13:47] someone has a problem : waking macbook from sleep, gives him black screen, in xubuntu 16.04, is there a workaround? [13:47] as i said, macbooks aren't officially supported with xubuntu [13:48] but there are mac users, using it right? [13:48] likely. [13:49] so there are no bug reports in xubuntu about macbooks? [13:51] 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] s/no/all/ [14:07] ok, thanks knome [15:44] buenas [15:44] se puede instalar lamp en xubuntu ? [17:13] 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+ combinations work in Jetbrains IDEs. [18:55] 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] how strongly is it recommended to have a backup before doing the install? [18:56] I'll be doing from the "livecd" (off of a flash drive) [19:04] hi does anybody know how to install gnome theme on xubuntu? [19:17] 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 [19:18] DarkAceZ, if you can back up only some, backup stuff you can't recreate or re-get by any means [19:19] (think: prefer photos from family vacation from the other side 10 years ago over music ripped from your audio cd's) [19:19] 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 === paolo_ is now known as paolo [20:53] Is there an option to update now to 16.04.2? [20:54] if you are running 16.04, you'll get to .2 via regular updates, so no need for any extra actions [20:55] Justanick: Feb 2 or just after. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseSchedule [20:56] 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] 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 [20:57] Running out of free space and the balancing make system unusable like now. ;) [20:58] 4.8 kernels are already available in repositories if you specifically want to enable them now [20:59] This is the case why I would like upgrade as early as possible [20:59] not sure if they are the reason why the .2 release was postponed though [21:01] knome: Thanks, I will give it a try. [21:40] 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? [21:45] ? [21:45] anyone? [21:46] ?! [21:47] patience places; you waited for less than 10 minutes [21:48] and the answer is no; if you answer yes to that question though, the installer will install some multimedia codecs [21:48] knome: what kind of third party software will it install [21:48] you will obviously be able to control whatever packages are in your system after the installation is finished [21:48] see above; i answered to that question already [21:48] the thing is, from my liveusb experience, xubuntu is already using (by my standards) too much of the ram [21:49] i fear that if the third party software is installed, it'll get worse [21:49] are my fears irrational and false in nature [21:49] 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] mostly yes; the third party libraries will only use your resources when they are in use [21:50] 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] as long as you have an internet connection at that point, yes [21:51] the installer doesn't do any "magical" things; its point is to make your life easier [21:51] knome: im on a 32bit system, and xubuntu at startup is using up about 500mb ram, what could be the cause [21:51] i saw within countless reviews that it used less than 300mb at startup [21:51] countless reviews where? [21:52] you can likely boot xubuntu with less than 512MB of memory, using it isn't recommended [21:52] knome: why in all of earth's glory is xubuntu using up about 500mb ram at startup [21:52] that is the question [21:53] it's a modern operating system and it has various services running [21:53] i meant that i had read many reviews, and in them it was stated that xubuntu at startup took up about 250mb [21:53] in my case, it's taking about 500+ mb [21:54] are the reviews talking about the same release? [21:54] yes [21:54] you can use the task manager to see what is eating your memory [21:55] knome: my RAM is 4GB, "hardinfo" showed that it was using up about 500MB [21:55] however [21:55] the task manager showed that only 4% or 8% cpu was in usage [21:55] 'top' said the same thing [21:55] RAM isn't CPU though [21:55] actually top said about 0.8% [21:56] knome: but surely if it takes up a lot of RAM, the system will be slowed down? [21:57] actually no, it's a combination of several things [21:59] knome: keep in mind that i found all this out during a liveusb experience [21:59] is it possible that less than 400mb at startup will be used after the system is installed [21:59] that's a different thing too; booting into xubuntu and using X amount of RAM is different than booting the liveusb [21:59] yes. [22:00] knome: is your system encrypted [22:01] i was wondering whether it'd be any good to have a distro encrypted [22:02] do you handle very private files and take your computer to public places? [22:02] nope [22:03] anyway, the question is very subjective; some consider any data about their usage to need encryption, others do not mind [22:05] ok knome thank you for your somewhat technical help [22:05] i'll be on my way to install xubuntu [22:05] have fun [22:05] is there anything you'd like to say before i do that [22:05] the above :) [22:05] :) [22:05] thanks again! [23:14] 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] this is just in case of data loss, right? [23:14] all backups are in case of data loss, right? :) [23:14] okay, just checking to make sure the update doesn't refresh configs or something :-P [23:15] thanks for the info, it's helpful [23:15] no, it shouldn't
