LupinesHi all, quick question, is there a way to make VLC the default multimedia player in an easy step?00:45
xanguaIt is in lxde and gnome, don't know about xfce01:00
xanguaI just use parole01:00
LupinesI am just used to VLC, that's all01:01
xanguaMaybe in some xfce settings, I mean the config files just like in gnome=dconf, gconf01:02
LupinesI already did the right-click, open with, but I want something for all the file extensions available01:02
LupinesUnder /usr/share/applications/defaults.list it shows Totem...01:11

puffHi, trying to fix my friend02:54
puffHi, trying to fix my friend's broken ubuntu install.02:54
puffIt was ubuntu 16.04 LTS.  I installed xubuntu-desktop and rebooted, got the xubuntu login screen, tried to login, did the same thing - screen went black, there was one line of white text that flashed too fast for me to read it, then back to the login screen.  Any idea where to find that line of text in the logs?02:54
Unit193One thought...03:02
Unit193!xhangs03:02
ubottuIf the GUI hangs after logging in, use <ctrl><alt><f1> to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority03:02
puffUnit193: Ah, thanks.03:02
Unit193I presume you selected Xubuntu from the session options.03:03
puffUnit193: It odesn't hang though, it flashes a black screen wiht one line of text, but it goes back to the gui login screen too fast for me to read it.03:03
puffUnit193: I'll certainly give that a shot though.03:03
puffUnit193: Actually, I didn't.... the login screen look changed so I assumed it had changed the default to xubuntu.  When I used the dropdown, yay, I can login :-).03:45
puffWhee!03:46
Unit193Heh, that'd do it.  Not sure why the other would fail, unless..03:47
puffSomething weird with the other desktop manager, I guess.03:49
puffWeird, I shut down fully and then booted, it booted and didn't give me a login screen, went straight into xubuntu, logged in and etc.04:04

ubottupuff: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.04:05
puffbazhang: Okay.04:06
puffHm, I installed xubuntu-desktop on top of this vanilla 16.04.1 LTS install.  I got the login screen, used the dropdown to select xubuntu-session, now it seems to boot straight into xubuntu without prompting me to login.04:25
puffAlso, it never shows me the motherboard splash screen, so I don't get any chance to choose the boot device (to reinstlal from a USB drive ubuntu install).04:26
puffAh, heck with it, I'm going to reinstall.  nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.04:39
puffThanks though.04:39
xubuntu23whi all06:07
xubuntu23wSo i installed xubuntu on an hp elitebook and have been having major usb transfer speed problems, <1mb/s. I tried other kernels with no success and tried linux mint kde which uses the same kernel and had no issues there. The problem comes from xubuntu itself though the live cd works fine. xhci_hcd is the driver being used, i checked...06:09
krytarikxubuntu23w: Tried the same with main Ubuntu yet?06:10
xubuntu23wno, didnt try the main one yet...06:11
xubuntu23wwhere would the differences lie?06:11
xubuntu23wi tried mint kde06:11
xubuntu23wi also tried mint mate before that and it was working fine06:13
krytarikMint != Ubuntu06:13
xubuntu23wi have a miserable internet connection and trying the main ubuntu too will be impossible right now, i downloaded too many isos as it is06:14
xubuntu23wi know they are different06:14
xubuntu23wthe idea was that it is not a kernel issue06:14
xubuntu23wany chance to troubleshoot this without installing main ubuntu?06:15
krytarikWell, my point merely was that it's most probably not limited to Xubuntu, but affects the whole Ubuntu family.06:19
xubuntu23wit would be good to know that for sure indeed krytarik.06:20
xubuntu23wperhaps though there are steps i can take regardless to see whether i can avoid it06:21
krytarikxubuntu23w: I suggest asking in #ubuntu as well - more eyes.06:22
xubuntu23wkrytarik: i'd have to confirm the error there as well :) - i guess i will...06:23
krytarikWell, the channel serves *all* flavors.06:24
krytarikAlso, given the likelihood...06:24
xubuntu23wkrytarik: ok! thx!06:25
krytarikNo problem.  Good luck!06:25
