| xubuntu00w | Hi there. I just installed Xubuntu 16.04 and I'm trying to use Compiz. Everything is working fine for the most part but I can't for the life of me get Compiz to draw shadows beneath the panel. Has anyone else managed to get this working? | 00:47 |

| loula | hi #xubuntu | 04:28 |
| loula | i need your assistance. my system freezes when it connects to wifi under xubuntu 16.10 | 04:29 |
| loula | i dont know what happened, probably some dumb thing from me when i updated using the update manager, then uninstalled some stuff before rebooting | 04:30 |
| loula | thing is it started freezing (total final freeze) and i rushed without thinking reinstalling the OS, fresh install mode | 04:31 |
| loula | but it still does freeze even though i reset it | 04:32 |
| loula | i have a wifi dongle who is belkin surf n150 (i checked its compatibility when i bought it 2 weeks ago) | 04:33 |
| loula | when i log in with it unplugged it works | 04:33 |
| loula | when i plug it i see the network icon in taskbar spining and then it freezes | 04:34 |
| loula | also just before the login screen i can see a short "recovering journal" screen. the information on it is different from times to times | 04:35 |
| loula | ill ask again tomorrow, i need some sleep now | 04:53 |
| loula | bye! | 04:53 |

| DocScrutinizer05 | Hi! I got me a Huawei MateBook to install xubuntu on it, but I'm total windows (10!! eeew) noob nevertheless want to get dualboot on that thing. Any hints? (seems it's using secure boot / UEFI?) | 07:47 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I checked http://djinnsour.com/2016/06/04/huawei-matebook-day-4-testing-xubuntu-16-04/ and will start with a Live system on a USB memstick, but long term I want my fav OS installed on device, not plugged in | 07:50 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I guess I could install linux to that convertible, but the trick is how to keep the dang Windows installation | 07:51 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | found http://askubuntu.com/questions/666631/how-can-i-dual-boot-windows-10-and-ubuntu-on-a-uefi-hp-notebook which is for HP but maybe it helps a bit. Still I'm highly appreciating any hints / help | 07:59 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | >>Step 4: Install Ubuntu first<< is not what I could do, unless somebody has a hint how to create an install medium (incl any keys or whatever needed, windoze noob here) for that pre-installed win10 | 08:05 |
| Volkodav | where is xfce4-settings-manager file? I need to add some entries to it | 09:30 |
| slickymasterWork | Volkodav, all core Xfce settings are located in the ~/.config/xfce4 folder | 09:35 |
| Volkodav | slickymaster thanks | 09:35 |
| Volkodav | in ~ or / ? | 09:36 |
| slickymasterWork | in ~ | 09:37 |
| slickymasterWork | Keep in mind that Xfce also develops/releases applications like mousepad, gigolo, thunar, orage, ristretto, etc and heir configuration files, if not in ~/.config/xfce4, can be found in either/or ~/.config and ~/.local/share | 09:37 |
| Volkodav | I looked all over and can't find the setting-manager file | 09:38 |
| Volkodav | for example I need to add User Accounts entry and I don't see the file to edit | 09:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | do you have a user account already? then maybe grep is your friend | 09:41 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | searching e.g for the account name | 09:41 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | might take a while, but could get optimized via find to only search small files | 09:42 |
| Volkodav | I did like this dpkg -L xfce4-settings | grep bin | 09:42 |
| Volkodav | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24057921/ | 09:43 |
| Volkodav | so /xfce4-settings-manager is jbviously listed> but how do I edit it? | 09:48 |
| Volkodav | 09:48 | |
| Volkodav | it should be in .local/share/applications/ but it's not | 09:49 |
| Volkodav | DocScrutinizer05: I did like in this post and it worked but with the error cannot run executable> but the entry appeared in the menu https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207810 | 10:23 |
| Volkodav | what did he mean by ".change the "Exec" and "Icon" entries to match"? | 10:24 |
| Volkodav | I figured it out - to add apps to settings manager /usr/share/applications/<app name>/.desktop files need to be edited in CATEGORIES section | 12:40 |

| loula | hi! | 20:59 |
| loula | hey xubuntu, i need your help. yesterday my computer started doing massive freezes when connecting to the net. i was dumb and thought i broke something (and i panicked a bit) so i reinstalled the os formating everything before. but the problem persists. i have xubuntu16.10, i used a wifi dongle of belkin brand, n150 model | 21:08 |
| loula | what coyld it be? | 21:08 |
| loula | could, sorry | 21:08 |
| loula | (i asked yesterday night but it was late and there werent many people active) | 21:12 |
| zumps | Hey. Tried using the /HELP but nothing showed up. Can anyone confirm? This is the first time I've used this chat. | 21:27 |
| zumps | My problem is that I installed keepassxc as a snap package. Using numix circle icon theme. At boot the icon for keepassxc in the indicator plugin is a question mark "?". However, if I log out and log in again the correct icon appears. The icon for keepass2 from nimix icon theme. | 21:30 |
| zumps | Why is this and how do I fix it? Kindly - Zumps | 21:30 |
| knome | loula, do you have other machines that connect via the same network and do they have the same issue? | 22:00 |
| loula | knome, other machines are fine, im on my phone on wifi right now | 22:01 |
| loula | thing is, i thought i had broken something important and did a fresh install (i did the last one 2 weeks ago so there wasnt much to save and it was the easy solution for me, as im not super experienced) | 22:03 |
| loula | and the problem persists. | 22:03 |
| knome | has this worked without problems before? | 22:03 |
| knome | with xubuntu, that is | 22:03 |
| loula | yes | 22:03 |
| loula | aaah other xubuntu machines? no its the only one | 22:03 |
| knome | so you have had this problem with xubuntu since you first installed it? | 22:04 |
| loula | but it worked somewhat fine until then | 22:04 |
| loula | no it started last night, and persisted through reinstalling the os | 22:05 |
| loula | until last night it worked | 22:05 |
| knome | ok... so the obvious question; did you do anything out of the ordinary before it stopped working? this might not obviously connected to networking, so anything you can think of? | 22:08 |
| loula | yes, ill try to be as clear as possible | 22:09 |
| loula | i updated some packages with the update manager (i didnt really pay attention to what packages, i think there were some imagemagick and snapd related packages), then, before rebooting i uninstalled snapd (i didnt need it anymore). apt-get suggested me to apt-get autoremove some other packages which were, i think linux images, or kernel related (i cant remember the precise wording), which i did. THEN i rebooted | 22:12 |
| loula | i saw something i didnt notice before (let me upload the picture) during the boot just before login screen. i cant tell if it was there before or not | 22:13 |

| loula | there it is | 22:15 |
| === ThatBob9002 is now known as ThatBob9001 | ||
| loula | knome, just before that i remember i used openbroadcaster, without actually streaming, and it used a uncommonly high quantity of memory (~2,1Go), slowing down everything. could it have melted some physical part? | 22:45 |
| === ThatBob9002 is now known as ThatBob9001 | ||
| knome | loula, i guess that's possible, but i find it unlikely... the easy way to check if that's the case is to try the dongle on another machine | 23:00 |
| loula | oh i didnt precise, i tried two dongles and it happened with both | 23:01 |
| knome | right... | 23:01 |
| knome | loula, the message you saw tells something in the filesystem went wrong but that it was fixed | 23:01 |
| knome | well, it should have... | 23:01 |
| loula | there are messages like this each time i boot :/ | 23:01 |
| knome | all of the rows or the last one? | 23:02 |
| loula | the last one happens each time, i didnt compare the other ones that appears often but not each tile | 23:03 |
| loula | time* | 23:03 |
| knome | the last one is normal | 23:03 |
| loula | it lasts like, 2 seconds | 23:03 |
| loula | oh ok | 23:03 |
| loula | inodes belong to which part? | 23:04 |
| knome | they are related to the file system | 23:04 |
| knome | anyway... are the two dongles the same model, or different? | 23:04 |
| loula | two different models, same brand though belkin n150 and n300 | 23:05 |
| knome | okay, so might or might not be helpful... | 23:05 |
| loula | :/ | 23:05 |
| loula | ill try to connect to wifi from commandline, to see if something shows up | 23:07 |
| knome | apparently, the hardware should be fine, so that's a good thing | 23:08 |
| knome | source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBelkin | 23:08 |
| loula | yeaaah! | 23:08 |
| knome | (has worked OTOB since 2012/2013) | 23:08 |
| knome | OOTB too :P | 23:08 |
| loula | haha yeah, i checked before buying the n150 | 23:08 |
| loula | the n300 is my roommate's | 23:08 |
| knome | one thing you might want to double-check is to see which driver the dongle is using | 23:08 |
| loula | oh | 23:09 |
| knome | if it has for any reason switched to a lesser one, that might very well be a cause for this kind of slowness in connecting | 23:09 |
| loula | ah er | 23:09 |
| loula | its not slow, it just stops and nothing ever respo ds | 23:09 |
| loula | responds | 23:10 |
| knome | that too :) | 23:10 |
| loula | ah | 23:10 |
| loula | oh | 23:10 |
| loula | how do i check that? | 23:10 |
| knome | inxi -n | 23:10 |
| loula | it says : card: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCIExpredd Gigabit ethernet controller driver : r8169 | 23:13 |
| loula | ah no its the ethernet part sorry | 23:13 |
| loula | card 2 : Belkin F7D1102 N150/Surf Micro Wireless Adapter v1000 [Realtek RTL8188CUS] IF: N/A state: N/A mac:N/A | 23:17 |
| loula | i have no info on the driver. or does it uses the Realtek one? | 23:17 |
| knome | i guess that looks okay... | 23:17 |
| loula | x( | 23:18 |
| knome | well okay in the sense that it's recognized | 23:19 |
| knome | but the state being N/A means it's not initialized, so can't work | 23:19 |
| loula | oh | 23:19 |
| loula | same goes for the n300 | 23:20 |
| loula | yesterday i saw this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/267510/how-to-prevent-system-freeze-on-wifi-activation | 23:20 |
| loula | but it brings no answer | 23:20 |
| loula | or no answer i understand | 23:20 |
| loula | its old too | 23:21 |
| loula | hm i just dont know what to do to pi point exactly where's the problem... tomorrow ill move my computer in the room where the router is, to see if wire connexions work (i tried to use PLC devices today but i couldnt make them work since i moved into the current flat) | 23:35 |
| loula | im really worried about that last part. if it doesnt work, i really wont know what to do. | 23:36 |
| malfane | Ok interesting problem. I have two NIC's in my server, one connected to my router and one with a crossover cable direstly connected to a windows PC. I am running, among other things, an NGINX RTMP server for streaming (encoding on the Linux machine). For some interesting reason NetworkManager like to swap my NIC's whenver I restart or suspend. I have tried disabling it all together and assigning addresses | 23:50 |
| malfane | manually and it still comes back and swaps em. Any ideas? I have run through the NM man's and extensive googling to no avail | 23:50 |
