[00:38] 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] Elec_A: It would seem you created the users in a wrong way. And generally, what's in '/etc/skel/'. [00:50] krytarik: I just did "useradd -m USER" [00:50] krytarik: is it wrong ? [00:50] Yep. [00:51] krytarik: so how should I do that? [00:51] Either via GUI, or using 'adduser'. [00:52] That one didn't even create the home directory for the specific users. [00:52] krytarik: I have used "-m" so it has. [00:52] Yep, just noticed. [00:53] So it should have the 'skel' stuff too. [00:54] Check if it does. [00:55] 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] That's fun.. [00:57] krytarik: yeah, for you :) [00:57] Last time I did that, it worked as expected though. [00:58] And no, not particularly. :) [01:04] krytarik: I used "adduser" and now it works! [01:12] \o/ [01:16] Elec_A: What version of Xubuntu is this, btw? [01:16] krytarik: 16.04 [09:55] hi all [09:57] lo [09:58] 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] i tried several ports and drives [09:59] using the same stick? [09:59] no difference between usb 2 or 3 [09:59] do you see anything in dmesg? [10:00] nothing that seems alarming, just that the stick connected is using the correct xhci_hcd driver [10:00] did you try a different stick? [10:00] yup, external drives [10:00] same problem [10:01] 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] CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=y CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PLATFORM=m [10:03] did you update after the install [10:04] it might just be a kernel regression [10:04] in grub you should be able to boot an old kernel too [10:04] 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] 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] i did not use an older kernel though [10:05] how can i install a specific version ? can i find it in the default repos? [10:06] huh? [10:06] when you install you get the same kernel as the usb stick you installed from [10:06] when you update and reboot you get a newer one [10:07] if you hold down shift during boot, you can select which one you want to boot with [10:07] yes, but id like to try an older kernel like you suggested [10:07] i didnt update [10:07] i installed on a new drive [10:07] then try a new one first :) [10:07] oh, you mean newer than the one in the current lts [10:07] i see [10:07] no [10:08] there are patch versions in the lts too [10:08] so shift should work for me too during boot? [10:08] I install with 4.4.0-21.37 and now I have 4.4.0-62.83 [10:08] xubuntu76w: I guess so [10:08] I think it was shift [10:08] not sure [10:08] ok [10:08] I sure google could tell you [10:08] ill give it a shot once the updates are done [10:09] thx pmjdebruijn [11:24] 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] xubuntu is ran by volunteers, canonical offers the infrastructure [11:27] 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] for example, the xubuntu ISO' [11:27] ergh [11:28] the xubuntu ISO's are built on canonical hardware [11:28] Does the community develop packages and themes? [11:28] and no, there isn't a specific lists of things that canonical offers, but they all more or less fall into infrastructure [11:28] yes, the community does all development work, including the themes [11:29] knome: But Canonical are the ones that accepts contibutions? [11:29] i don't understand the question? [11:29] contributions to code? [11:30] knome: So the community offers Canonical packages and themes. But Canonical are the ones accepting the contributions (of code)? [11:30] well... not really [11:30] knome: hmm, okey [11:30] canonical maintains some packages [11:31] so in the case of those, i guess you could say canonical accepts the contributions (and decides what goes into them) [11:31] and by packages i mean packages and upstream [11:31] canonical might maintain a package that has an upstream, where the upstream is the project that "accepts" the contributions [11:31] do you have a specific package in mind? [11:33] 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] no, the xubuntu team has full control of their packageset, including the default software [11:33] For example inkscape. inkscape is not default but the community asks for it [11:34] knome: Okey, the xubuntu team consist of community and canonical members? [11:34] only volunteer community members [11:34] knome: How are these community members added to the team? [11:35] By acceptance from other members or..? [11:35] by meritocracy, so kind of by acceptance from others [11:35] you can read more about it at http://docs.xubuntu.org/contributors/xsd.html#xsd-community [11:37] 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] Say that a package maintainer includes this to SSH for a day. [11:37] a password collector or something [11:37] there are several measures taken to avoid that, most prominently not everybody can upload anything to the repositories [11:37] it's all based on trust [11:38] knome: Okey, thanks for all the response! [11:39] 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] that said, i haven't heard that that would have ever happened [11:39] no worries and enjoy xubuntu [11:39] and if you decide to contribute, we do need all kinds of skills ;) [11:41] 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] glad to hear [12:22] Hi [12:24] 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] any help would be greatly appreciated. [12:25] 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] xubuntu05w: /usr/share/doc/linux-image-.../Changelog.gz has some hints === Justanick1 is now known as Justanick [17:14] hi === Zren_ is now known as Zren [17:20] so my subpixel smoothing on xubuntu seems to be a total mess [17:20] https://i.imgur.com/Z2Ues4U.png [17:20] in some things it looks right [17:20] but in hexchat for example its just complete mess [17:23] let me recreate my home dir maybe [17:23] or no let me create another user and test with it === Justanick1 is now known as Justanick
