| phunyguy | Unit193: how would I go about restoring the xubuntu default session settings? my home dotfiles are pretty messed up already from all of this. | 01:55 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | phunyguy: Generally speaking, nuke .cache/session(s?) and .config/xfce4/ , I'd do it after stopping lightdm though. Should set you back to defaults. | 01:58 |
| phunyguy | Unit193: I am on regular ubuntu now to test things out, and I am having the same type of issues with the qt apps and indicators. | 04:10 |
| phunyguy | so who knows. | 04:10 |

| xubuntu45w | would you recommend installing the LTS over 17.04 | 13:30 |
| xubuntu45w | on a system that I use exclusively | 13:30 |
| xubuntu45w | for everything | 13:30 |
| xubuntu45w | because I'm currently running 16.10 and haven't experienced many bugs. 16.10 has actually run more smoothly than 16.04 from what I remember. So why do people recommend the LTS releases as being more 'stable' images? | 13:33 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu45w: support for nonLTS releases is only 8 months | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | 9 months | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | so you're forced to move to a new nonLTS within 3 months after a releases to be able to get security updates | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | and possibly have to deal with new issues | 13:46 |
| pmjdebruijn | keep in mind that 16.04.2 has the hardware enablement stack from 16.10 builtin | 13:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | so hardware support should be similar to 16.10 | 13:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | xubuntu45w: hopefully that clears some stuff up? | 13:47 |
| xubuntu45w | Yeah | 13:48 |
| xubuntu45w | So it's just a matter of how long the support term is? | 13:48 |
| xubuntu45w | In other words, if I plan on upgrading in another 3 months anyway, shouldn't I just install 17.04? | 13:49 |
| xubuntu45w | pmjdebruijn: if I can upgrade to the latest release without experiencing bugs or system issues, I'd rather do that than use an LTS | 13:53 |
| Artemis3 | xubuntu45w, it everything works, stick to LTS | 14:01 |
| Artemis3 | xubuntu45w, it is the pain of having to endure a system upgrade every 6~9 months, an upgrade which may not be reliable. Stick to LTS and that annoyance only comes every 2~5 years. | 14:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | generally speaking I tend to agree with Artemis3 | 14:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | life is too short to upgrade every six months | 14:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | but in the end it's whatever anybody wants | 14:10 |

| adrian_1908 | hey, could anyone be so kind to visit youtube and check out some random video. I'm suddenly getting a strange font for numerical elements (view count, release date, thumbs up) and wonder if that's on my side, e.g. accidental deletion of something. | 20:14 |
| YankDownUnder | adrian_1908: Safe to assume you've closed the browser, restarted it and tried again? | 20:16 |
| adrian_1908 | yes | 20:17 |
| adrian_1908 | so you don't have it occur, right? | 20:19 |
| YankDownUnder | adrian_1908: Nah, bro. | 20:19 |
| adrian_1908 | ok, thanks. I'll try more things then, strange. | 20:21 |
| YankDownUnder | adrian_1908: Questions to ask: What did I do before this happened? What did I change? What did I update? What did I install? What settings or configurations were changed? | 20:21 |
| YankDownUnder | adrian_1908: One minor thing can cause a ripple effect. | 20:21 |
| adrian_1908 | Fresh boot, I don't recall doing anything in term of updates yesterday, at least not anything that wouldn't have occurred for others like an update. (phone, brb) | 20:23 |
| YankDownUnder | adrian_1908: Something has changed in between the time it worked properly and now. It's generally merely a matter of digging to find out exactly what it is. It can't be aliens or solar flares or terrorists. | 20:25 |
| adrian_1908 | Sorry phone, back. I wanted to make sure it's not on YouTube's side or something that otherwise happened to everyone. I'll do the annoying stuff now like rebooting, deleting all cookies etc :D | 20:40 |
| mrkramps | adrian_1908, cleaning the cache might already help | 20:40 |
| mrkramps | but yeah, i recognized some minor font stuff going on at YT in the last days | 20:41 |
| mrkramps | for me it was just some more bold fonts where i did not expect them | 20:41 |
| adrian_1908 | I see. Strange though, that the non-numerical text is rendered in a different font (Roboto) than the numbers (Noto Naskh Arabic UI), without actually being a different HTML element, like a <span>. | 20:43 |
| adrian_1908 | Ok, i'll go through the routine now, thanks guys! | 20:44 |
| mrkramps | might be an issue with noto sans … o.O | 20:53 |
| YankDownUnder | I've sent a complaint letter - very strongly worded - that YouTube needs to be rebooted, and if they've changed anything, it MUST be changed back. ASAP. STRONGLY WORDED. With a heap of exclamation points. (end sarcasm) | 21:23 |
