| Elec_C | Hi, I have created several new users, but when I loging to a user, terminal is behaving really terrible. tab autocompletion is not working, it does not show current location and hostname before $. what configuration should I copy from root ? | 00:38 |
|---|---|---|
| krytarik | Elec_A: It would seem you created the users in a wrong way. And generally, what's in '/etc/skel/'. | 00:47 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: I just did "useradd -m USER" | 00:50 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: is it wrong ? | 00:50 |
| krytarik | Yep. | 00:50 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: so how should I do that? | 00:51 |
| krytarik | Either via GUI, or using 'adduser'. | 00:51 |
| krytarik | That one didn't even create the home directory for the specific users. | 00:52 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: I have used "-m" so it has. | 00:52 |
| krytarik | Yep, just noticed. | 00:52 |
| krytarik | So it should have the 'skel' stuff too. | 00:53 |
| krytarik | Check if it does. | 00:54 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: I used GUI to delete an existing user and added the same user again with GUI. It has copied skel stuff again and the problem still exists. | 00:55 |
| krytarik | That's fun.. | 00:56 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: yeah, for you :) | 00:57 |
| krytarik | Last time I did that, it worked as expected though. | 00:57 |
| krytarik | And no, not particularly. :) | 00:58 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: I used "adduser" and now it works! | 01:04 |
| krytarik | \o/ | 01:12 |
| krytarik | Elec_A: What version of Xubuntu is this, btw? | 01:16 |
| Elec_A | krytarik: 16.04 | 01:16 |
| xubuntu76w | hi all | 09:55 |
| pmjdebruijn | lo | 09:57 |
| xubuntu76w | i recently installed xubuntu on an hp elitebook, i am having usb transfer rate problems on the installed system that are not present on the live usb system. the driver in use is xhci_hcd, it doesnt show up in lsmod (due to it being in-built?)... I cant seem to find any leads to go on. just that the transfer rates are 1mb/s or less and unbearable... | 09:58 |
| xubuntu76w | i tried several ports and drives | 09:58 |
| pmjdebruijn | using the same stick? | 09:59 |
| xubuntu76w | no difference between usb 2 or 3 | 09:59 |
| pmjdebruijn | do you see anything in dmesg? | 09:59 |
| xubuntu76w | nothing that seems alarming, just that the stick connected is using the correct xhci_hcd driver | 10:00 |
| pmjdebruijn | did you try a different stick? | 10:00 |
| xubuntu76w | yup, external drives | 10:00 |
| xubuntu76w | same problem | 10:00 |
| xubuntu76w | when i go back to live cd it works fine, not sure about usb 2 or 3 or both working fine but the transfer rates become acceptable to usb 2 standard at least | 10:01 |
| xubuntu76w | CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=y CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PLATFORM=m | 10:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | did you update after the install | 10:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | it might just be a kernel regression | 10:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | in grub you should be able to boot an old kernel too | 10:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | I think you can get into GRUB by holding down shift during boot or something along those lines | 10:04 |
| * pmjdebruijn doesn't recall exactly | 10:04 | |
| xubuntu76w | i did, though i am doing it again now. i reinstalled hoping it would solve the problem, still updating now. but no luck so far... | 10:04 |
| xubuntu76w | i did not use an older kernel though | 10:05 |
| xubuntu76w | how can i install a specific version ? can i find it in the default repos? | 10:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | huh? | 10:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | when you install you get the same kernel as the usb stick you installed from | 10:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | when you update and reboot you get a newer one | 10:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | if you hold down shift during boot, you can select which one you want to boot with | 10:07 |
| xubuntu76w | yes, but id like to try an older kernel like you suggested | 10:07 |
| xubuntu76w | i didnt update | 10:07 |
| xubuntu76w | i installed on a new drive | 10:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | then try a new one first :) | 10:07 |
| xubuntu76w | oh, you mean newer than the one in the current lts | 10:07 |
| xubuntu76w | i see | 10:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | no | 10:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | there are patch versions in the lts too | 10:08 |
| xubuntu76w | so shift should work for me too during boot? | 10:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | I install with 4.4.0-21.37 and now I have 4.4.0-62.83 | 10:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu76w: I guess so | 10:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | I think it was shift | 10:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure | 10:08 |
| xubuntu76w | ok | 10:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | I sure google could tell you | 10:08 |
| xubuntu76w | ill give it a shot once the updates are done | 10:08 |
| xubuntu76w | thx pmjdebruijn | 10:09 |
| Chrismeister | How is xubuntu developed? Is Canonical the head of development and organize volounteers? Or are there some individuals that makes the project go forward? | 11:24 |
| knome | xubuntu is ran by volunteers, canonical offers the infrastructure | 11:25 |
| Chrismeister | knome: I don't really understand what is meant by infrastructure. Exactly what are Canonicals responsibilities within the project? Can I read about this somewhere? | 11:27 |
| knome | for example, the xubuntu ISO' | 11:27 |
| knome | ergh | 11:27 |
| knome | the xubuntu ISO's are built on canonical hardware | 11:28 |
| Chrismeister | Does the community develop packages and themes? | 11:28 |
| knome | and no, there isn't a specific lists of things that canonical offers, but they all more or less fall into infrastructure | 11:28 |
| knome | yes, the community does all development work, including the themes | 11:28 |
| Chrismeister | knome: But Canonical are the ones that accepts contibutions? | 11:29 |
| knome | i don't understand the question? | 11:29 |
| knome | contributions to code? | 11:29 |
| Chrismeister | knome: So the community offers Canonical packages and themes. But Canonical are the ones accepting the contributions (of code)? | 11:30 |
| knome | well... not really | 11:30 |
| Chrismeister | knome: hmm, okey | 11:30 |
| knome | canonical maintains some packages | 11:30 |
| knome | so in the case of those, i guess you could say canonical accepts the contributions (and decides what goes into them) | 11:31 |
| knome | and by packages i mean packages and upstream | 11:31 |
| knome | canonical might maintain a package that has an upstream, where the upstream is the project that "accepts" the contributions | 11:31 |
| knome | do you have a specific package in mind? | 11:31 |
| Chrismeister | knome: Say for example that parts of the community want to change some default software that is included in xubuntu. Is there a team in Canonical that discuss this request and implement this if they feel this is right? | 11:33 |
| knome | no, the xubuntu team has full control of their packageset, including the default software | 11:33 |
| Chrismeister | For example inkscape. inkscape is not default but the community asks for it | 11:33 |
| Chrismeister | knome: Okey, the xubuntu team consist of community and canonical members? | 11:34 |
| knome | only volunteer community members | 11:34 |
| Chrismeister | knome: How are these community members added to the team? | 11:34 |
| Chrismeister | By acceptance from other members or..? | 11:35 |
| knome | by meritocracy, so kind of by acceptance from others | 11:35 |
| knome | you can read more about it at http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/xsd.html#xsd-community | 11:35 |
| Chrismeister | knome: Thanks! Will be interesting reading. I have one final question. This one kinda involves Ubuntu in general. Can we be sure that no harmful code is included in repository packages? | 11:37 |
| Chrismeister | Say that a package maintainer includes this to SSH for a day. | 11:37 |
| Chrismeister | a password collector or something | 11:37 |
| knome | there are several measures taken to avoid that, most prominently not everybody can upload anything to the repositories | 11:37 |
| knome | it's all based on trust | 11:37 |
| Chrismeister | knome: Okey, thanks for all the response! | 11:38 |
| knome | technically, it's possible that somebody uploads something malicious, but even if that were the case, i'm pretty sure the actions to remove that would be relatively fast | 11:39 |
| knome | that said, i haven't heard that that would have ever happened | 11:39 |
| knome | no worries and enjoy xubuntu | 11:39 |
| knome | and if you decide to contribute, we do need all kinds of skills ;) | 11:39 |
| Chrismeister | knome: Hehe, I will think about it! Been a regular user since a few years back and really likes the distro! Beautiful and fast on all computers. | 11:41 |
| knome | glad to hear | 11:42 |
| xubuntu05w | Hi | 12:22 |
| xubuntu05w | I am having trouble with my usb transfer rates. They work fine in live mode, then once installed the rate drops dramatically to 1mb/s or below on average. I tried several kernels, older and newer available in the repos with no luck. | 12:24 |
| xubuntu05w | any help would be greatly appreciated. | 12:24 |
| xubuntu05w | Is there a way to track the changes using keywords in the kernel changelogs in order to perhaps find the right version to try? | 12:25 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu05w: /usr/share/doc/linux-image-.../Changelog.gz has some hints | 12:45 |

| Cust0sLimen | hi | 17:14 |
| === Zren_ is now known as Zren | ||
| Cust0sLimen | so my subpixel smoothing on xubuntu seems to be a total mess | 17:20 |
| Cust0sLimen | https://i.imgur.com/Z2Ues4U.png | 17:20 |
| Cust0sLimen | in some things it looks right | 17:20 |
| Cust0sLimen | but in hexchat for example its just complete mess | 17:20 |
| Cust0sLimen | let me recreate my home dir maybe | 17:23 |
| Cust0sLimen | or no let me create another user and test with it | 17:23 |
