[05:47] <NickSmolinske> hello all. years since I've fired up an IRC client, feels good to be back
[05:48] <NewGnuGuy> welcome back
[05:48] <NickSmolinske> I'm trying to get xubuntu working on a new HP laptop and . . . it's being quite interesting! random slow mouse movement followed by a freeze. no pattern detected yet but I am googling
[05:49] <NickSmolinske> interestingly, the last time it froze it took me to a grub command line upon reboot. I ended up reinstalling from the liveusb again and the liveusb did not detect the existing install at all
[05:50] <NickSmolinske> I don't think I've ever seen linux fail to reboot after a crash before. this is a first for me
[05:56] <NickSmolinske> huh. my root file system does not appear in "mount" on a fresh install
[05:56] <NickSmolinske> this just keeps getting weirder
[05:59] <NickSmolinske> never mind, it's there. I'm going to try the vm.dirty_background fix that I've found online. it seems to only crash while copying files, performing updates or other hard drive intensive activities
[06:07]  * kevin_ 
[06:07] <NickSmolinske> seems like that may have been it. I'm halfway through installing updates and it hasn't crashed yet. interestingly the dirty_ratio and dirty_background_ratio on my 14.04 install are set to the better values by default (5 and 10 rather than 10 and 20)
[06:08]  * cinematicme 
[07:26] <NickSmolinske> well that didn't work but I decided to update the kernel and do a couple suggested fixes all at once. might as well throw everything at it. night all
[10:51] <orschiro__> Are there any mps-youtube users here? I need some help integrating it with my media keys and the sound menu. Thank you!
[14:52] <dongyi> Hello.
[18:13] <senpos> hello, is there any easy way to install latest xfce4-terminal 0.8+ and/or xfwm4 4.13 into the xubuntu 16.04?
[18:16] <well_laid_lawn> !bbackports
[18:17] <well_laid_lawn> !backports
[18:27] <senpos> well_laid_lawn: hi there, i've enabled backports, but is there any way to see the list of packages that are available there?
[18:32] <well_laid_lawn> I don't do much with backports
[18:32] <well_laid_lawn> https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-backports/
[18:35] <senpos> well_laid_lawn: oh, thanks anyway. It seems like it is not that easy as i imagined to install few packages with newer versions in LTS release
[19:30] <FSFRS> Hello guys! Anyone can help me? When scroll up or down my volume mixer in Xubuntu the volume alert is duplicate
[19:30] <FSFRS> here is the pic of the problem http://i.imgur.com/oY1pH58.png
