[00:38] <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 ?
[00:47] <krytarik> Elec_A: It would seem you created the users in a wrong way.  And generally, what's in '/etc/skel/'.
[00:50] <Elec_A> krytarik: I just did "useradd -m USER"
[00:50] <Elec_A> krytarik: is it wrong ?
[00:50] <krytarik> Yep.
[00:51] <Elec_A> krytarik: so how should I do that?
[00:51] <krytarik> Either via GUI, or using 'adduser'.
[00:52] <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.
[00:53] <krytarik> So it should have the 'skel' stuff too.
[00:54] <krytarik> Check if it does.
[00:55] <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.
[00:56] <krytarik> That's fun..
[00:57] <Elec_A> krytarik: yeah, for you  :)
[00:57] <krytarik> Last time I did that, it worked as expected though.
[00:58] <krytarik> And no, not particularly. :)
[01:04] <Elec_A> krytarik: I used "adduser" and now it works!
[01:12] <krytarik> \o/
[01:16] <krytarik> Elec_A: What version of Xubuntu is this, btw?
[01:16] <Elec_A> krytarik: 16.04
[09:55] <xubuntu76w> hi all
[09:57] <pmjdebruijn> lo
[09:58] <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
[09:59] <pmjdebruijn> using the same stick?
[09:59] <xubuntu76w> no difference between usb 2 or 3
[09:59] <pmjdebruijn> do you see anything in dmesg?
[10:00] <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
[10:01] <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
[10:03] <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
[10:04] <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...
[10:05] <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?
[10:06] <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
[10:07] <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
[10:08] <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
[10:09] <xubuntu76w> thx pmjdebruijn
[11:24] <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?
[11:25] <knome> xubuntu is ran by volunteers, canonical offers the infrastructure
[11:27] <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
[11:28] <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
[11:29] <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?
[11:30] <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
[11:31] <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?
[11:33] <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
[11:34] <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?
[11:35] <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
[11:37] <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
[11:38] <Chrismeister> knome: Okey, thanks for all the response!
[11:39] <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 ;)
[11:41] <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.
[11:42] <knome> glad to hear
[12:22] <xubuntu05w> Hi
[12:24] <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.
[12:25] <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?
[12:45] <pmjdebruijn> xubuntu05w: /usr/share/doc/linux-image-.../Changelog.gz has some hints
[17:14] <Cust0sLimen> hi
[17:20] <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
[17:23] <Cust0sLimen> let me recreate my home dir maybe
[17:23] <Cust0sLimen> or no let me create another user and test with it
