[00:12] <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?
[00:22] <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.
[00:34] <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..
[00:35] <newuser123> I'm usung Xubuntu 16.04.2

[00:43] <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.
[00:44] <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
[00:45] <bonsaitree> bazhang:Okay then, i will know now :)
[01:01] <newuser123> Thanks for nothing!
[03:27] <Spass> I may have found another small bug related to the panel, Window Buttons plugin this time
[03:28] <krytarik> Spass: I suggest #xubuntu-devel from now on.
[03:29] <Spass> krytarik: Sure, you're right.
[07:14] <sorinello_> flocculant, I must admit, despite the small border, the new terminal has some cool features
[09:33] <PasserkKk> afernoon
[12:52] <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?
[12:53] <pmjdebruijn> "system update"
[12:53] <pmjdebruijn> when was it fine?
[12:53] <pmjdebruijn> from what to what did you update?
[12:54] <pmjdebruijn> bonsaitree: ?
[12:54] <pmjdebruijn> which version of xubuntu were you running when it was fine, which version are you running now?
[12:57] <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, ^
[13:02] <pmjdebruijn> bonsaitreh: I don't follow
[13:03] <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?
[13:21] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, 4.4.0-72-generic
[13:25] <pmjdebruijn> bonsaitreh: and what were you running when it did work fine? 16.04 too?
[13:25] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, Yup
[13:26] <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)
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <pmjdebruijn> you should be able to revert the firmware files like so: sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-firmware=1.157
[13:31] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, 16.04.1
[13:31] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, I will try with the kernel you suggested, brb
[13:48] <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.
[14:01] <pmjdebruijn> bonsaitree: even slower compared to what?
[14:02] <pmjdebruijn> also are you sure there are no environmental factors
[14:02] <pmjdebruijn> new neighbor wifi etc
[14:04] <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.
[14:06] <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
[14:08] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, How do i do that?
[14:10] <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
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <pmjdebruijn> for the edge stuff you probably need to tell apt explicitly to use an experimental repo, never tried it myself
[14:15] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, Okay won't experiment with that now, i installed the older firmware, should i try with -22 now?
[14:23] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, Nope, still the same. How do i revert to the previous linux kernel?
[14:27] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, 157.8?
[14:28] <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
[14:30] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, Yes, i meant firmware not kernel, my bad
[14:35] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, You recommend this: apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04 ?
[14:37] <pmjdebruijn> I just pasted the command
[14:37] <pmjdebruijn> 16:11
[14:38] <bonsaitreh> pmjdebruijn, i see
[14:40] <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.
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <pmjdebruijn> bonsaitreh: the page I linked, explains this
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <bonsaitreh> i will try it then
[15:32] <bonsaitree> pmjdebruijn, Nah, the same even after 4.8.0-46-generic
[15:35] <bonsaitree> I really have no clue how to fix this.
[15:52] <bonsaitree> Is it possible that a blackhat somehow capped my wi-fi card?
[19:05] <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?
[23:34] <ddaughtrey> Hello
[23:45] <ddaughtrey> Anyone able to explain how to how to easily change my boot drive for xubuntu?
