| SuperSeriousCat | I see Thunar got an update on Ubuntu 4 days ago wich fixes a very annoying bug. How long till its usually abailable for Xubuntu on apt-get? | 07:44 |
| flocculant | SuperSeriousCat: I think that updates are staged, but it should be available on 16.04 and 16.10 now if you reinstall | 07:46 |
| cfhowlett | reinstall? why? sudo apt full-upgrade | 07:47 |
| flocculant | or that - just woken up here :) | 07:47 |
| SuperSeriousCat | It did not show up on ull-update | 07:47 |
| SuperSeriousCat | full* | 07:47 |
| cfhowlett | upGRADE! | 07:47 |
| SuperSeriousCat | ye, on that :P | 07:48 |
| cfhowlett | then it's not in the repo yet. patience | 07:48 |
| flocculant | SuperSeriousCat: dpkg -l thunar | 07:48 |
| SuperSeriousCat | Hmm, there it is | 07:49 |
| SuperSeriousCat | https://0bin.net/paste/K+-1z4lViV3pDWCO#oi-jHvHcqfJyauwkUougTtKK7iuM7nU11T7jCnd/BPy | 07:49 |
| flocculant | so you have the new versioon | 07:49 |
| SuperSeriousCat | No. "About Thunar" show 1.6.10. On a VM using another Distro it show 1.6.11 wich the dkpg command listed | 07:50 |
| SuperSeriousCat | It dont sound like a program wich needs a reboot. Uptime is a few weeks | 07:53 |
| Unit193 | killall Thunar, it runs a daemon. | 07:54 |
| flocculant | shouldn't do no - but I know when I was testing repo/ppa/master and patches sometimes it took a logout, if you were using thunar before updating try a killall on it | 07:54 |
| SuperSeriousCat | Ah. Now it show 1.6.11 :) Thanks | 07:55 |
| Unit193 | :) | 07:55 |
| flocculant | :) | 07:55 |
| SuperSeriousCat | Can finally rename files again | 07:55 |
| flocculant | yea ... though be aware of a new bug :p | 07:55 |
| SuperSeriousCat | What do it do? | 07:56 |
| flocculant | xfce 13364 | 07:56 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 13364 in general "After moving files, a Ghost file sometimes remains in Detail View" [Normal,New] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13364 | 07:56 |
| flocculant | it doesn't crash or anything though | 07:56 |
| SuperSeriousCat | Ah. That was on 1.6.10 aswell | 07:57 |
| SuperSeriousCat | In Icon view | 07:57 |
| flocculant | I see it in compact | 07:57 |

| xubuntu56w | I have a quick question that I have been googling for hours. | 19:36 |
| knome | xubuntu56w, why don't you ask the question? | 20:35 |

| Guest94501 | anybody can provide help in french please? | 20:53 |
| Guest94501 | comming back in 5mn | 20:53 |

| xubuntu60w | hello | 21:01 |
| xubuntu60w | please help. | 21:02 |
| knome | hello | 21:02 |
| knome | please ask the question... | 21:02 |
| Guest94501 | #ubuntu-fr | 21:03 |
| xubuntu60w | If you go to the session tap on the session and startup what is the difference between immediately and always | 21:03 |
| xubuntu60w | I have been searching for hours | 21:04 |
| xubuntu60w | I am trying to get Thunderbird to startup but does not seem to be working when I found this setting and seems to me that if it starts up always would that not be the same thing as starting up immediately? | 21:06 |
| knome | i believe immediately is immediately when the application closes, always is on boot | 21:06 |
| xubuntu60w | So if I had thrunderbird set to start immediately it would restart when I closed it? | 21:08 |
| knome | that's my guess | 21:08 |
| knome | though i'm not completely sure | 21:08 |
| xubuntu60w | better than mine I had no cluce. :) | 21:08 |
| xubuntu60w | clue | 21:09 |
| knome | but either way it shouldn't make any difference which one you have - if you only want to open it on boot | 21:09 |
| knome | immediately should also mean "immediately on boot" | 21:09 |
| xubuntu60w | yea but it not working both ways | 21:09 |
| xubuntu60w | and I keep turning waterfox (firefox) to never but it keeps resetting its self to "when running" | 21:11 |
| xubuntu60w | Not a big deal in the long run, I just think it is some kinda bug. Still like it better than other OSs that I tried | 21:14 |
| xubuntu60w | I never use IRC so forgive if I do not know how things work | 21:15 |
| knome | no worries | 21:17 |
| knome | anyway, i haven't played a lot with sessions myself, but i'm pretty sure this is doable | 21:18 |
| xubuntu60w | one more question. I will need to do a little research but can you point out where . . . on the advance tab. there is Gnome and KDE I use some KDE stuff like Kmymoney and a newsreader and one or 2 more should I have that box checked? | 21:21 |
| knome | if you load the libraries on load, the startup will be slower, but then running the software that uses those libraries will be faster | 21:21 |
| knome | so if you use them very regularly you might want to check it | 21:21 |
| knome | but if you only run them once in a while, it's probably better leave it unchecked | 21:22 |
| xubuntu60w | That makes sense. Yea a few I use a lot. | 21:22 |
| xubuntu60w | KDE is funny. Some of their stuff I just love and other stuff I just hate. No middle ground with them LOL | 21:23 |
| xubuntu60w | I am putting together a computer for my son, he is 15 now. I am going to install Xubuntu on it anything you think would be good to do download/add for him? | 21:26 |
| xubuntu60w | I am thinking like stuff for games | 21:29 |
| xubuntu60w | I don't play computer games myself but he is into a few. | 21:30 |
| knome | there are many games in the software repositories | 21:31 |
| knome | i'd say show him how to install software and he can figure out what he wants to install himself | 21:32 |
| xubuntu60w | good point. I always download more installers like "Ubuntu Software Center", "Software Boutique, "App Grid" and "Lubuntu Software Center". I will do that and put shortcuts to them on the desktop for him. | 21:36 |
| xubuntu60w | I know not called shortcuts in Linux, Jumpers right ???? | 21:36 |
| xubuntu60w | LOL Thanks for your input very helpful. | 21:36 |
| knome | you only need one package manager | 21:53 |
| knome | they all point to the same repositories, just show things in a different way | 21:53 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | I installed the sysinfo utility, and for some reason it crashes with no other prompts whenever I select the "System" tab | 21:56 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | The Welcome screen, CPU, Memory, Storage, and Hardware all function and return the expected results; Just that particular tab crashes it and doesn't invoke the crash reporter after | 21:56 |
| xubuntu60w | @gnome they hold different programs in them. Some programs I like re only in Get App and some are only in Software Boutique etc. I have notes at to what you get where for the times I do a fresh OS. | 22:01 |
| knome | xubuntu60w, maybe you'll want to install synaptic that doesn't filter anything out... | 22:02 |
| xubuntu60w | Learning synaptic is on my list of things to do. I have played around with it a bit. Your right about it, there is nothing like it to have full control. | 22:04 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Trying to get proprietary graphics drivers from amd working, that may fix the issue | 22:05 |
| xubuntu60w | SimpleScreenRecorder is one example you can only get it with software boutique not the others I talked about. BUT yea I need to learn synaptic. | 22:06 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | first thing I did on this install was "sudo apt-get install synaptic" | 22:11 |
| xubuntu60w | Yea I always install synaptic I just have not taken the time to fully learn it. I know enough to know it is a grate tool. For how old it is it just keeps working like gold. | 22:14 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | in the version that's current for 16.04 vs 14.04, the search seems to work a bit better, but I'm unsure how/if it can search withing installed packages only | 22:15 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | system going down for reboot | 22:17 |
| xubuntu60w | Different topic one thing bugs me about the menu, not just Xubuntu but I will rename things in the main menu and it will show up in the editor what I renamed it but it still shows up as what it wants in the menu. I could hunt down why but just not worth the time. | 22:27 |
| xubuntu60w | Kb3 is one | 22:28 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Got the amd drivers installed, but something isn't right | 22:29 |
| xubuntu60w | It wants to show up as "Disk Burning" but I did change the hover over so it tells me what "Disk Burning" program we are talking about here :) | 22:29 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Can't figure out how to launch the catalyst controls, or if they even installed correctly | 22:30 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | OpenGL Render in the system profiler and benchmark tool displays as "AMD Radeon Graphics" | 22:32 |
| xubuntu60w | @CrazyLikeAFox wish I could help | 22:35 |
| vrkalak | CrazyLikeAFox: you might try > /join #xfce,#xfce-dev | 22:48 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | IN the main ubuntu channel right now | 22:48 |
| vrkalak | you can other IRC channels | 22:49 |
| vrkalak | I'm not 32 Channels on 3 IRC servers | 22:50 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | My usual setup is 15 channels on 6 servers. *points at Wayward_Vagabond* | 22:51 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Trying to get this new machine setup properly, then I'll import my irssi settings and logs | 22:51 |
| Artemis3 | are you sure you have catalyst drivers? last i read they were deprecating those in favor of the radeon driver, so i wouldn't be surprised they were in 14 but no longer in 16 | 22:52 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | No, I'm not sure | 22:53 |
| vrkalak | * is an Admin for LinuxMint and an Debian-Maintainer for Fluxbox | 22:53 |
| Artemis3 | vrkalak, and devnull still sucks. | 22:54 |
| vrkalak | Artemis3: LMAO | 22:55 |
| vrkalak | I don't care | 22:56 |
| Artemis3 | good | 22:56 |
| Artemis3 | just a reminder | 22:56 |
| knome | this is still the xubuntu support channel (as a reminder) | 22:57 |
| xubuntu60w | Just moved over to Xubuntu. I backed up my old Home folder. Anyone know if my setting for KOrganizer are in there? I got the calendars and be nice if I can get all my setting back. | 22:57 |
| Artemis3 | they should be there | 22:58 |
| xubuntu60w | I moved my ols .kde folder over nope | 22:58 |
| xubuntu60w | KDE like to hide stuff LOL | 22:58 |
| knome | xubuntu60w, try under .config or directly under your home directory | 22:58 |
| vrkalak | yeah, KOrganizer is a KDE App | 22:59 |
| Artemis3 | once you re install korganizer it should be the same as it was | 23:00 |
| xubuntu60w | all my setting are not the same I did find ~.local/share/korganizer and ~/.kde and move them files over but did not change back | 23:02 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Okay, my graphics are broken right now | 23:02 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | and my cpu is wonky too, different programs are reporting wildly different clock rates | 23:03 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | bios might be setup wrong | 23:03 |
| Artemis3 | what gpu ? | 23:03 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | uhh | 23:03 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24211853/ | 23:03 |
| Artemis3 | is your install fresh? | 23:04 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | that doesn't seem to match any of the numbers the listing for the machine gives https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834294362 | 23:04 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | yes | 23:04 |
| Artemis3 | did you attempt something to the driver? | 23:04 |
| Artemis3 | ok so its still working? | 23:04 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | I attempted to install the proprietary driver | 23:05 |
| Artemis3 | yes i think you can't do that anymore | 23:05 |
| Artemis3 | not with 16 anyway | 23:06 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | ahh, catalyst controls/the old fglrx seem to be gone now with no direct replacement | 23:08 |
| Artemis3 | exactly | 23:09 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Oh bother. | 23:09 |
| Artemis3 | you either downgrade to 14.04 or stick with the open source radeon driver | 23:09 |
| Artemis3 | thats AMD linux support... | 23:09 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | If I had known about the recent driver changes, I probally would've got the intel + nvidia model :x | 23:10 |
| Artemis3 | if you can live with it until 2019 you could just go back to 14.04 and use PPAs for important software you need updated | 23:11 |
| Artemis3 | just don't mess with xorg or the kernel (catalyst wont like it) | 23:11 |
| Artemis3 | CrazyLikeAFox, i think catalyst install in 14.04 is simply enabling the driver in the hardware manager | 23:13 |
| Artemis3 | which should now be absent in 16.04 | 23:13 |
| xubuntu60w | I remember someplace intel is stopping all support for Linux is that true? | 23:17 |
| CrazyLikeAFox | Say, would you guys know how to go about turning off the whole 'trash can' system and file indexing? | 23:37 |
