[00:13] @CrazyLikeAFox I turned of the file indexing let me see if i can find my notes on that. [00:15] Here is what I put down in my notes: Go into "Session and startup" and disable "Tracker ... (anything)" [00:19] 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. [00:20] Removing the trash can on the desktop is easy or are u wanting to remove the whole thing? [05:28] It seems my FN keys work fine in Ubuntu but won't work in Xubuntu. [05:29] Anyone have a solution? 16.04 LTS 64 bit. [09:18] Cyberdrake: you might need a boot option for the kernel [18:08] Hey all. I have 4 monitors; 3 across with 1 above the middle [18:09] anytime I try to tweak the display’s so that the vertical access is different it totally bugs out and crashes everything [19:02] Is there another bootloader for Xubuntu than Grub2? [19:02] why do you ask? [19:03] grub2 is the default bootloader that's fully supported [19:03] any other linux compatible bootable should work, but it will be your responsibility to maintain it [19:03] as new kernels etc, use scripts to add it to grub [19:03] which maybe or may not with other bootloaders [19:03] I ask this because a clean installation of Xubuntu fails at the moment that grub2 is installing [19:03] 16.04? [19:04] anything special about your situation? [19:04] what error are you getting exactly? [19:04] 16.04.1 I meant? [19:04] Ys, 16.04 but also 16.10 [19:04] are you multibooting? [19:04] is there anything weird in your partition that might confuse it? [19:04] no, this new laptop (Acer) is totally clean [19:05] did you manually partition? [19:05] no [19:05] perhaps it is the combination with an UEFI installation [19:06] possibly [19:06] can you set the UEFI to support CSM? [19:06] 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) [19:07] I think I can set the UEFI to support CSM [19:07] again, what's the exact error GRUB is throwing? [19:08] xubuntu85w: then a workaround might to be setup the UEFI to do Legacy mode (CSM) [19:09] 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] The message is then: "installation of grub fails (as superuser) Installation of the packet 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' in /target/ fails" [19:09] xubuntu85w: how large is the drive in that laptop? [19:10] I'll try Ctr+Alt+Fx. The drive is a SSD of 128 GB [19:11] oh [19:11] https://askubuntu.com/questions/789998/16-04-new-installation-gives-grub-efi-amd64-signed-failed-installation-target [19:11] that uefi partition might be missing [19:11] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Creating_an_EFI_System_Partition [19:12] it surprises me that the installer doesn't handle that transparently [19:12] I don't recall having to do this myself [19:12] with 16.04 [19:12] although I did do manually partitioning [19:12] * pmjdebruijn wonders if he thought about that when doing it himself === kaosine_ is now known as kaosine === hrmt is now known as CHVNX === CHVNX is now known as hrmt [20:50] moetunes, a boot option for the kernel? [21:26] Cyberdrake: yep, like "acpi_backlight=vendor" or similar added to the grub kernel line. [21:26] what you'll need will depend on your hardware specifics [21:28] as an example http://askubuntu.com/questions/489247/14-04-asus-g56jr-fn-brightness-control/562477#562477 [22:09] 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] moetunes, and just with spotify. on regular Ubuntu, spotify and the media keys work perfectly fine [22:09] moetunes, my media keys are fn + del, stuff like that [22:10] 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] moetunes, Ubuntu must have some sort of package, config file or setting that isn't on Xubuntu, is my guess [22:10] moetunes, but I'll try your solution too, hopefully it works === CrazyLikeAFox is now known as Kramer === Kramer is now known as CrazyLikeAFox === Zren_ is now known as Zren
