| xubuntu60w | @CrazyLikeAFox I turned of the file indexing let me see if i can find my notes on that. | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu60w | Here is what I put down in my notes: Go into "Session and startup" and disable "Tracker ... (anything)" | 00:15 |
| xubuntu60w | If you google some of the programs in there "tracker blaa bla..." people talk about how you can turn them off in terminal. I never did that. You can also take the programs and then go to semantic and remove them that way. I did with some that did not have any programs that I wanted. Albeit I can not remember what ones. | 00:19 |
| xubuntu60w | Removing the trash can on the desktop is easy or are u wanting to remove the whole thing? | 00:20 |
| Cyberdrake | It seems my FN keys work fine in Ubuntu but won't work in Xubuntu. | 05:28 |
| Cyberdrake | Anyone have a solution? 16.04 LTS 64 bit. | 05:29 |
| moetunes | Cyberdrake: you might need a boot option for the kernel | 09:18 |
| stan_man_can | Hey all. I have 4 monitors; 3 across with 1 above the middle | 18:08 |
| stan_man_can | anytime I try to tweak the display’s so that the vertical access is different it totally bugs out and crashes everything | 18:09 |
| xubuntu85w | Is there another bootloader for Xubuntu than Grub2? | 19:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | why do you ask? | 19:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | grub2 is the default bootloader that's fully supported | 19:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | any other linux compatible bootable should work, but it will be your responsibility to maintain it | 19:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | as new kernels etc, use scripts to add it to grub | 19:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | which maybe or may not with other bootloaders | 19:03 |
| xubuntu85w | I ask this because a clean installation of Xubuntu fails at the moment that grub2 is installing | 19:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16.04? | 19:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | anything special about your situation? | 19:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | what error are you getting exactly? | 19:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16.04.1 I meant? | 19:04 |
| xubuntu85w | Ys, 16.04 but also 16.10 | 19:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | are you multibooting? | 19:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | is there anything weird in your partition that might confuse it? | 19:04 |
| xubuntu85w | no, this new laptop (Acer) is totally clean | 19:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | did you manually partition? | 19:05 |
| xubuntu85w | no | 19:05 |
| xubuntu85w | perhaps it is the combination with an UEFI installation | 19:05 |
| pmjdebruijn | possibly | 19:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | can you set the UEFI to support CSM? | 19:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu85w: are you sure it has a 64-bit UEFI? (some low cost laptops/tablets have 32-bit UEFI, which I'm not sure is supported) | 19:06 |
| xubuntu85w | I think I can set the UEFI to support CSM | 19:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | again, what's the exact error GRUB is throwing? | 19:07 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu85w: then a workaround might to be setup the UEFI to do Legacy mode (CSM) | 19:08 |
| pmjdebruijn | if you do Ctrl+Alt+Fx during the install (when grub fails) you might be able to see some extra info on one of your screens | 19:09 |
| xubuntu85w | The message is then: "installation of grub fails (as superuser) Installation of the packet 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' in /target/ fails" | 19:09 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu85w: how large is the drive in that laptop? | 19:09 |
| xubuntu85w | I'll try Ctr+Alt+Fx. The drive is a SSD of 128 GB | 19:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh | 19:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://askubuntu.com/questions/789998/16-04-new-installation-gives-grub-efi-amd64-signed-failed-installation-target | 19:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | that uefi partition might be missing | 19:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_System_Partition | 19:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | it surprises me that the installer doesn't handle that transparently | 19:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | I don't recall having to do this myself | 19:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | with 16.04 | 19:12 |
| pmjdebruijn | although I did do manually partitioning | 19:12 |
| * pmjdebruijn wonders if he thought about that when doing it himself | 19:12 | |

| Cyberdrake | moetunes, a boot option for the kernel? | 20:50 |
| moetunes | Cyberdrake: yep, like "acpi_backlight=vendor" or similar added to the grub kernel line. | 21:26 |
| moetunes | what you'll need will depend on your hardware specifics | 21:26 |
| moetunes | as an example http://askubuntu.com/questions/489247/14-04-asus-g56jr-fn-brightness-control/562477#562477 | 21:28 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, cool, ill try that out. i'm trying to get the pause, stop and previous keys to work with spotify. backlight key works fine. it's only the media keys that won't work | 22:09 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, and just with spotify. on regular Ubuntu, spotify and the media keys work perfectly fine | 22:09 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, my media keys are fn + del, stuff like that | 22:09 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, so if the keyboard is working fine everywhere except Spotify on only xubuntu, it's got to be a package or something, at least imho, because it works everywhere else | 22:10 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, Ubuntu must have some sort of package, config file or setting that isn't on Xubuntu, is my guess | 22:10 |
| Cyberdrake | moetunes, but I'll try your solution too, hopefully it works | 22:10 |
