[04:37] <Heston> hell guys, after I dd xubuntu 18.04 to my usb, should there be 2 partitions?
[04:49] <Heston> appears its normal
[05:19] <guiverc> Just a quick note: I'm loving xubuntu 18.04, and really love the PulseAudio Panel Plugin !!  Thanks guys&gals!
[05:21] <cfhowlett> :)
[05:24] <flocculant> bluesabre: ^^
[07:05] <sm0rux> I have a Asus VivoBook S410U. Xubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 doesn't find the Wifi. Any solution? Thanks in advance!
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> sm0rux:  the net doesn't have much to say on that device - it seems like it could be a bit new
[07:09] <well_laid_lawn> !wifi
[07:10] <sm0rux> THanks
[08:12] <antimist> Question, I just loaded up the live cd for the Ubuntu 18, and made a backup of my Ubuntu 17 drive to an external HDD and shutdown. Now for some reason I get an I/O error everywhere on that partition (Windows works fine). And my SMART status on the drive is a 100%, running a test now, but no results yet
[08:12] <antimist> The test results produce no error
[08:13] <antimist> The sector issue did not persist before the live cd
[08:13] <antimist> it's the Xubuntu 18 live cd
[08:15] <antimist> any help?
[08:15] <antimist> I realize that it's a drive thing
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> antimist:  did the backup bork your 17 install?
[11:15] <lovetruth> hello :)
[11:16] <lovetruth> can anyone tell me how to *completely* turn off any "suspend", "sleep" and so on on my laptop with Xubuntu 16.04 ?...
[11:20] <lovetruth> enabled "Presentation mode"... hope it will be enough... :)
[11:28] <Spass> hello lovetruth, yes "Presentation mode" should do just that :)
[11:29] <Spass> and you can change settings in xfce4-power-manager-settings
[13:04] <analogical> what is the equivalent of the synaptic package manager in Xubuntu?
[13:06] <Spass> you can install and use Synaptic in Xubuntu (sudo apt install synaptic), and gnome-software is installed by default
[13:11] <analogical> Spass, what tool can I use to uninstall software?
[13:14] <Spass> You can use gnome-software (GUI, installed by default), terminal (sudo apt remove <package>) or in Synaptic (if you installed it)
[13:15] <Spass> If your language is English gnome-software is called "Software", you can find it in the menu.
[13:23] <N0neatme> Hey all, quick question, I'm trying to use the free space checker panel widget but my mount point name is to big for the text field, what should I do
[13:34] <Spass> hello N0neatme, well, you could change the mount point in /etc/fstab or using GUI (gnome-disks)
[13:35] <Spass> But it's strange that the plugin won't let you enter longer paths, maybe it's worth to submit a bug?
[13:37] <Spass> (by changing the mount point I meant to choose a shorter path for it)
[13:39] <N0neatme> Hm, yes, thats a good idea, but the problem is I already set it up with samba, apache and everything. Changing it would mean a lot of work to configure everything again
[13:40] <N0neatme> Is it possible to create some sort of symlink to the mount point which I can use for the widget?
[13:46] <Spass> Yeah, try with a symlink, it might work.
[13:48] <Spass> Just checked, it worked, good workaround :)
[13:51] <N0neatme> Oh nice, I also just did. Seems to work ;) Thanks for your help
[13:53] <Spass> You came up with it yourself :)
[13:54] <Spass> I've just learned a new thing thanks to that, but still, that plugin should work with longer paths out of the box.
[15:08] <flocculant> Spass: from NEWS in the fsguard source "Now it's possible to add mountpoints with max 32 chars"
[15:19] <Spass> flocculant, thanks, good to know
[15:27] <flocculant> np
[16:40] <alsetema> Hello there! I have read 18.04 has been released just two days ago. I have been trying to do "do-release upgrade" and changing the paramentres of the update manager from lts to normal and it still says no new release found when running the command
[16:42] <KitsuWhooa> Hey, just a quick thing I noticed while trying to download 18.04
[16:42] <KitsuWhooa> https://xubuntu.org/release/18-04/
[16:42] <KitsuWhooa> "Xubuntu 18.04 is an LTS release which was be released in April 2018." should probably be changed to "which was released"
[16:43] <KitsuWhooa> Not sure if the right person to contact is in here, but I thought it was worth mentioning
[16:45] <flocculant> KitsuWhooa: thanks I'll sort that shortly
[16:46] <KitsuWhooa> np
[16:46] <Norden> I think do-release-upgrade won't upgrade to a new LTS before the first point release
[16:46] <flocculant> alsetema: lts to lts upgrades are due at the first point release in July, normal upgrade will happen 'shortly'
[16:47] <alsetema> I am running 17.10
[16:47] <alsetema> so pretty much the images are available already but they have not released the upgrades to terminal and so?
[16:47] <flocculant> pretty much
[16:49] <flocculant> KitsuWhooa: all done - thanks for letting us know :)
[16:49] <KitsuWhooa> Excellent! You're welcome
[16:50] <alsetema> i see... thank you very much
[16:51] <flocculant> alsetema: likely to be a few days from release
[16:51] <alsetema> perhaps tomorrow monday
[16:52] <flocculant> possibly - I'm really not sure when upgrades actually roll out - I've been using 18.04 since a few weeks after 17.10 was released
[17:05] <alsetema> Damn, since so early, flocculant?
[17:06] <flocculant> alsetema: I test it :)
[17:14] <Spass> alsetema, you can force upgrade if you want, see this tutorial - https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-ubuntu-version/
[17:15] <flocculant> Spass: and what if they're not releasing it just yet because of bugs they want to fix?
[17:17] <Spass> true, I'm not saying that I recommend it ;) but it's possible and I know someone that did it this way without any hiccups
[17:17] <Spass> but yeah, forcing an upgrade is just that - FORCING an upgrade
[17:18] <Spass> I'll wait patiently on my 17.10
[17:20] <Spass> btw, I just did a fresh 18.04 install on my laptop, works like a champ
[17:21] <Javabean> ... did a fresh install on a dell optiplex 755(core 2 duo) it works good 2
[17:33] <alsetema> flocculant: youre a tester for ubuntu? :O
[17:33] <flocculant> xubuntu - yes
[18:28] <spreeuw> so when I install the xubuntu meta package on a regular 18.04 it should be near identical right?
[18:28] <spreeuw> shocked at how bad fonts look on default ubunti
[18:41] <sithlord666> hey everyone
[18:42] <sithlord666> i have a amd apu how do i install the amd drivers and where can i find them ?
[18:51] <well_laid_lawn> !amd
[19:27] <MoL0ToV> hi, with xubuntu 18.04LTS the wifi icon is displayed 2 time in the panel. Is a bug?
[19:27] <MoL0ToV> one smaller and another bigger
[19:30] <krytarik> MoL0ToV: Yes, that's LP bug 1761606.
[19:31] <MoL0ToV> ok so i wait until is resolved
[19:32] <MoL0ToV> there is no very problem only esthetic
[19:35] <ondondil> tbh I had the same problem with redshift-gtk and psensor
[19:36] <ondondil> I restart the panel after system boots as a workaround
[19:57] <_0bitcount> It takes a long time to change from the terminals (Ctrl + Alt + Fn) to F7 (X). Any ideas?
[19:57] <_0bitcount> in 18.04
[20:01] <MoL0ToV> my system is fast switching with ctrl alt fn
[21:15] <xubuntu53i> hello, am I online?
[21:16] <xubuntu53i> GGG
[21:19] <Heston> the computer says no
[21:23] <fabioluciano> o.o
[22:45] <nhilterbrand> Hello
[22:46] <nhilterbrand> Anybody using 18.04 and Virtualbox on it?  I am having an issue while trying to install the virtualbox-ext-pack
[22:48] <lapaga> nhilterbrand, i am not positive but you might need to install gcc and make (i vaguely remember something like that)
[22:49] <nhilterbrand> Got those installed already, lapaga.
[22:49] <nhilterbrand> The error is odd
[22:49] <nhilterbrand> Hash mismatch Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.10.vbox-extpack: expected 8c31bc1d0337e6668e0d9140defc6deaf265087f855783dd09b873a064a70703, or wrong accept-license key
[22:53] <krytarik> LP bug 1767402.
[22:55] <nhilterbrand> Thanks, ubottu.  My next question was going to be "where do I log this bug"... but somebody beat me to it
[22:55] <nhilterbrand> I was able to download the extension pack from the website and get VBox running, so no harm, no foul
[22:55] <nhilterbrand> Thanks!
[22:56] <krytarik> ubottu is a bot.
[22:57] <krytarik> Ok cool, and as I understand, it's in the process of being fixed.
[23:10] <nhilterbrand> Well, ubottu is a helpful bot.
[23:21] <krytarik> nhilterbrand: https://tracker.debian.org/news/952822/accepted-virtualbox-ext-pack-5210-4-source-into-unstable/ - the fix is already in Debian at least, that is.
[23:22] <nhilterbrand> krytarik, thanks!
[23:23] <krytarik> Sure.
[23:23] <nhilterbrand> I will give it another try in awhile
