| Spass | seems like not only whisker menu is affected by that "screen edge" issue, here's Plank https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8qh4-wxxEZ7b3ZTZ0stb1VvdGM/view | 00:12 |

| Spass | maybe it's a part of a bigger problem? | 00:12 |
| ddaughtrey | Welp can't figure out when I can't get my sound settings to recognize my devices built-in. Only shows HDMI and I'm not using that. Did get my bluetooth headphones to work so that's cool. | 00:22 |
| newuser123 | Hi guys, I'm failry new to xubuntu and I hope you can help me. I just installed xubuntu and tried to create an archive in thunar (right click -> create archive) but I get follwoing error message: "Failed to create archive. No suitable archive manager found.". I don't understand why this is happening, since I see the archive manager in the whiskermenu. When I click on it, it open just fine.. | 00:34 |
| newuser123 | I'm usung Xubuntu 16.04.2 | 00:35 |

| bonsaitree | It turns out that there is a recent system update that is messing with the Wi-Fi link speed. I've tried many things and all of them lead to that conclusion. | 00:43 |
| bazhang | bonsaitree, why are you crossposting | 00:44 |
| bazhang | stick to one channel please | 00:44 |
| bonsaitree | bazhang:I did not know that it's considered bad behavior. | 00:44 |
| bazhang | very | 00:44 |
| bonsaitree | bazhang:Okay then, i will know now :) | 00:45 |
| newuser123 | Thanks for nothing! | 01:01 |
| Spass | I may have found another small bug related to the panel, Window Buttons plugin this time | 03:27 |
| krytarik | Spass: I suggest #xubuntu-devel from now on. | 03:28 |
| Spass | krytarik: Sure, you're right. | 03:29 |
| sorinello_ | flocculant, I must admit, despite the small border, the new terminal has some cool features | 07:14 |

| bonsaitree | I will ask here also, since no one is answering on #ubuntu. | 12:52 |
| bonsaitree | My Wi-Fi link speed problem is still unresolved. I get the same speeds as i got before and as declared by my ISP when i am on Ethernet (on Linux) and when i am on both Wi-Fi and Ethernet on Windows. I was suspicious that the origin of the problem is because i have been removing certain bin files in /lib/firmware, but it turned out that it's not the case, since i did a fresh install and the problem is still here. I now suspect that it's a certain | 12:52 |
| bonsaitree | system update that messed things up. I have also tried logging with different kernel versions but there is no difference. Any ideas? | 12:52 |
| pmjdebruijn | "system update" | 12:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | when was it fine? | 12:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | from what to what did you update? | 12:53 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitree: ? | 12:54 |
| pmjdebruijn | which version of xubuntu were you running when it was fine, which version are you running now? | 12:54 |
| bonsaitreh | By "system update" i mean the update that is present in "Software", labeled "OS Updates". Since the problem is present on a fresh install too, it is very probable that it is related to a system update. | 12:57 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, ^ | 12:57 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitreh: I don't follow | 13:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | if the issue is still present on a fresh install, then it would seem to incidate it's not caused by a xubuntu update | 13:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | but as I said, which exactly version were you using, and which are you using now? | 13:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16.04 ? 16.04.1? 16.04.2 ? 16.10 ? | 13:03 |
| pmjdebruijn | what does 'uname -a' say? | 13:03 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, 4.4.0-72-generic | 13:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitreh: and what were you running when it did work fine? 16.04 too? | 13:25 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, Yup | 13:25 |
| pmjdebruijn | you could try installing a very old 16.04 kernel, like so: sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-22-generic | 13:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | and boot that | 13:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | after a clean install, you might have ended up with something newer already (even without manually updating) | 13:26 |
| pmjdebruijn | especially if you've used a 16.04.1 install iso | 13:27 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, The Live USB that i used for this install is the same that was used for the previous install, but let me check the .iso version | 13:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | you should be able to revert the firmware files like so: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware=1.157 | 13:28 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, 16.04.1 | 13:31 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, I will try with the kernel you suggested, brb | 13:31 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Installed the 4.4.0-22-generic, the system won't even find/show a wireless interface with 'iwconfig'. Tried 4.4.0-31-generic and 4.4.0-72-generic, the link is even slower with them. | 13:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitree: even slower compared to what? | 14:01 |
| pmjdebruijn | also are you sure there are no environmental factors | 14:02 |
| pmjdebruijn | new neighbor wifi etc | 14:02 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, My bad, the bandwidth is the same with -31 and -72. on -22 the wifi interface is not even shown. Btw that's what first came into my mind, but the bandwidth is excellent while using Windows, so it must be a software issue and not of electro-magnetic nature. | 14:04 |
| pmjdebruijn | I find it strange that it did perform good on ubuntu 16.04 in the past though | 14:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitree: as far as the -22 kernel is concerned you might need to combine that with a linux-firmware downgrade | 14:06 |
| pmjdebruijn | rarely there are version interdependancies | 14:06 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, How do i do that? | 14:08 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, I wanted to try to install the 4.10 kernel with 16.04.2, someone told me on #ubuntu to use to following command: install linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge , but i get this error: install: missing destination file operand after 'linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge' | 14:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware=1.157 for the older firwmare files | 14:10 |
| pmjdebruijn | and the edge stuff is experimental | 14:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | so I wouldn't add that | 14:11 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Okay then i will try with the older firmware | 14:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 for 4.8 | 14:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 14:11 |
| pmjdebruijn | for the edge stuff you probably need to tell apt explicitly to use an experimental repo, never tried it myself | 14:12 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Okay won't experiment with that now, i installed the older firmware, should i try with -22 now? | 14:15 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Nope, still the same. How do i revert to the previous linux kernel? | 14:23 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, 157.8? | 14:27 |
| pmjdebruijn | just run updates | 14:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | you meant firmware right? | 14:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | when you run updates, the latest version will be pulled in again | 14:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:28 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Yes | 14:28 |
| bonsaitree | thanks | 14:28 |
| pmjdebruijn | anyhow, then I'd try the HWE stack | 14:28 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Yes, i meant firmware not kernel, my bad | 14:30 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, You recommend this: apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 ? | 14:35 |
| pmjdebruijn | I just pasted the command | 14:37 |
| pmjdebruijn | 16:11 | 14:37 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, i see | 14:38 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, Okay, how do i upgrade to 16.10? | 14:40 |
| bonsaitreh | Sorry for asking this (maybe basic) question, but there is no concrete answer on the net. | 14:40 |
| pmjdebruijn | for major version i'd just reinstall | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's often faster | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | but | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | with regard to hardware support installing the hwe stack would make 16.04 essentially the same as 16.10 | 14:41 |
| pmjdebruijn | bonsaitreh: the page I linked, explains this | 14:42 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, So if i install the enablement stack i will get the 4.8 kernel, am i right? I am not sure if i can keep up with this whole new terminology :D | 14:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | yes | 14:47 |
| pmjdebruijn | it gets you the kernel and xorg from 16.10 effectively | 14:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | on 16.04 is a fairly clean and supported way | 14:48 |
| pmjdebruijn | the 16.04.2 installation ISO have this onboard already by default | 14:48 |
| bonsaitreh | pmjdebruijn, But since i was installing with the .1 .iso i have to do it manually | 14:49 |
| bonsaitreh | i guess | 14:49 |
| pmjdebruijn | for existing installs it's opt-in indeed | 14:49 |
| bonsaitreh | i will try it then | 14:50 |
| bonsaitree | pmjdebruijn, Nah, the same even after 4.8.0-46-generic | 15:32 |
| bonsaitree | I really have no clue how to fix this. | 15:35 |
| bonsaitree | Is it possible that a blackhat somehow capped my wi-fi card? | 15:52 |
| XubuntuUser99 | Ever since I installed Xubuntu 16.04.2 I have this weird bug, whenever I try to create an archive from the right-click menu in Thunar I get the following error message:"Failed to create archive. No suitable archive manager found.". When I use the Extract Here option, it works fine, file-roller launches and extracts the archive without a hitch. It seems like file-roller is not linked to the Create Archive in the right click men | 19:05 |
| XubuntuUser99 | Does anyone know how to re-associate file-roller to the Create Archive right click menu launcher? Or how I can just simply fix it? | 19:05 |
| ddaughtrey | Hello | 23:34 |
| ddaughtrey | Anyone able to explain how to how to easily change my boot drive for xubuntu? | 23:45 |
