[04:15] <playenball> Finally got 17.10 tweaked to my liking but I am having two issues
[04:15] <playenball> I cant get Thunar to display video thumbnails
[04:16] <playenball> I also cant seem to get the boot splash screen to display at the right resolution of 1920x1080 for my display
[04:20] <berkiyo> Oh
[04:20] <berkiyo> hmm same here, I never cared about video-thumbnails
[04:20] <berkiyo> But I just realised, maybe it's the icon pack? (I doubt)
[04:21] <berkiyo> As for the boot-splash screen, what GPU do you have?
[04:22] <playenball> I have a hybrid intel/amd
[04:22] <playenball>  Card-1: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller
[04:22] <playenball>            bus-ID: 00:02.0
[04:22] <playenball>            Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Neptune XT [Radeon HD 8970M]
[04:22] <playenball>            bus-ID: 01:00.0
[04:22] <berkiyo> Hmm
[04:23] <berkiyo> Have you tried booting your laptop with the iGPU disabled (Intel GPU) if possible?
[04:24] <playenball> I hadnt thought of that. Ill give that a try. Its not a deal breaker......just anoying.
[04:28] <berkiyo> I have a dual display setup which I have the external monitor my primary when I plug my laptop in. Upon bootup, I just have plymouth (boot-splash) show on my laptop screen. I think this can be fixed if your BIOS/UEFI has an option to show post/bootsplash on VGA/HDMI/DP/internal display etcc..
[04:34] <playenball> Well disabling the iGPU didnt help
[04:43] <berkiyo> Are you using UEFI or Legacy to boot?
[04:43] <berkiyo> playenball, sorry for the late reply
[04:44] <playenball> UEFI
[05:09] <berkiyo> playenball: no idea man, I never investigated it but try doing some research regarding grub resolution
[05:09] <berkiyo> sorry about that
[05:11] <playenball> No big deal. Grub resolution was where I started. I had been searching for a few hours and hadnt found anything that worked. Thought maybe someone in here might have an idea.
[05:11] <playenball> The resolution isnt a problem in regular ubuntu.
[15:47] <PhoenixSTF> hey guys, is there going to be an update on the intel-microcode to fix the intelME vulnerability?
[18:17] <kgbme> new install, haven't been on xubuntu for a couple of years :( anything else critical, apart from enabling ufw and configuring sysctl.conf ?
[18:18] <kgbme> that is, if anyone's bothered. =)
[18:20] <pleia2> I haven't done those things, pretty much use it as it comes
[18:21] <kgbme> hm, sweet, but..:)
[18:21] <Unit193> Well, there's a bunch of things one can configure, it generally changes from person to person.
[18:21] <kgbme> oh hi Unit193 yea just curious if something critical is there that eye forgot :f
[18:21] <pleia2> just saying even what you listed is not critical for me, and many other users ;)
[18:22] <kgbme> pleia2: did u ever take a look at the file? :)
[18:23] <kgbme> plus someone is bashing our isp to dust last couple of days (configured the router, a little bit)
[23:06] <puff> good evening.
