| m00n_urn | Hey! My xubuntu machine keeps freezing every now and then (today alone: 4 times). I have to restart it everytime to get it to work again. I've lost all my xubuntu settings the last time I restarted due to it freezing. | Xubuntu 18.04 on a Thinkpad E450. Many applications were running during the freeze: A torrent client, XMPP client, FF, a few text files, a terminal. Do I have to provide any system logs to rectify this issue? | 03:14 |

| krytarik | m00n_urn: They literally only user who has entered the channel since you posted it last, is yourself btw. | 03:59 |
| m00n_urn | krytarik, wut?! :D | 04:00 |
| m00n_urn | krytarik, do you have any idea why this keeps occuring often? | 04:07 |
| kumool | mmm | 04:45 |
| kumool | clean your ram | 04:45 |
| kumool | or your entire PC | 04:45 |
| kumool | you can also erase xubuntu and install another OS | 04:46 |
| kumool | just in case | 04:46 |
| m00n_urn | kumool, No. I spent an awful lot of time customizing it. memtest to clean the RAM? How does one "clean" an OS? | 05:03 |
| kumool | ? | 05:03 |
| kumool | are you trolling? | 05:03 |
| kumool | you can try to memtest sure | 05:04 |
| kumool | shrink the hdd and dualboot another OS | 05:05 |
| kumool | if you don't want to erase anything | 05:05 |
| m00n_urn | lol, k | 05:07 |
| sarka | m00n_urn: I'd suspect your pc is overheating or your RAM is defective | 06:39 |
| sarka | so cleaning your pc, maybe taking the ram off and putting it in back again and if it still freezes try memtest | 06:40 |
| sarka | being thorough you would run memtest with only one ram stick in place at a time | 06:41 |
| m00n_urn | I'm kinda certain that it's the former. Overheating. | 06:41 |
| sarka | I had such problem once and it ended up being my GPU ram which was bad | 06:41 |
| m00n_urn | sarka, one ram stick at a time? one? I just dd memtest onto my thumdrive and run live. | 06:41 |
| sarka | yep | 06:42 |
| m00n_urn | Okay, but what about overheating. You got tips for that? | 06:42 |
| sarka | vacuuming your pc. if you have temp readings in bios, check them out right after freezing | 06:43 |
| sarka | if they're high-ish even after vacuuming, maybe check thermal paste | 06:43 |
| sarka | don't vacuum any motherboard components, obviously | 06:44 |
| m00n_urn | mine is a laptop and do bios even have that option? | 06:44 |
| sarka | hmm, maybe, maybe not. It's a lot more difficult to clean up though | 06:44 |
| m00n_urn | how do you check thermal paste? what is a thermal paste to begin with? | 06:44 |
| sarka | there's thermal paste between the cpu and it's heatsinkg | 06:44 |
| sarka | sometimes it dries up and doesn't perform well | 06:45 |
| sarka | maybe disassemble the laptop, vacuum/blow it and just clean old paste and put some new paste in straight away | 06:46 |
| m00n_urn | Oh, alright. thermald is already installed on my system and it didn't really make any difference | 06:48 |

| xubuntu28d | Good day! Support for older AMD GPUs has been dropped on newer version of ubuntu? (eg. Juniper PRO - hd5750) of the free driver | 11:07 |
| xubuntu27d | was looking for a Screen Tearing fix - found it here https://tinyurl.com/jg8wrve | 11:15 |
| baldor | Hi ! | 14:19 |
| baldor | I just noticed the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Maj + colon" wasn't detected by some apps any more since the upgrade | 14:19 |
| baldor | to 18.04 | 14:19 |
| baldor | I use it in pycharm, and it doesn't detect it any more (and I can't reassign it) | 14:20 |
| baldor | any idea what prevents pycharm from detecting this shortcut? | 14:20 |
| ondondil | Hello | 18:49 |
| ondondil | Can anybody reproduce this bug? https://streamable.com/7t8kr | 18:50 |
| ondondil | It happens when you open new thunar window and right click a file that is near the bottom of the screen so that context menu is displayed further up from mouse pointer. | 18:50 |
| ondondil | Then the option that appears to be under the mouse pointer is executed automatically. | 18:50 |
| ondondil | It only happens once since thunar window is launched and to reproduce it you need to close the window and open new one. | 18:50 |
| ondondil | I noticed this first in Xubuntu 16.04 and now again in 18.04. | 18:51 |
| ondondil | It happens in VM too | 18:51 |
| Spass | ondondil, hello, I can confirm that on my Xubuntu 17.10 | 18:54 |
| Spass | seems that we have the same bugs, plank blinking, Firefox 60 one, and now this... | 18:55 |
| ondondil | Oh, nevermind. I thought it was something new because there were no reports of it on launchpad but now I think I've found the exact same issue reported on xfce bugzilla | 19:01 |
| ondondil | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12476 | 19:01 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 12476 in Core "Right-click menu doesn't work properly" [Normal,New] | 19:01 |
| ondondil | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13697 | 19:02 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 13697 in General "Right-click menu immediately chooses an option on certain themes" [Normal,New] | 19:02 |
| ondondil | sorry to have bothered you | 19:03 |
| Spass | well, I can at least add a comment that it also affects me | 19:03 |
| Spass | ondondil, what's the Thunar version on 18.04? | 19:08 |
| ondondil | 1.6.15 | 19:09 |
| Spass | I added my "can confirm" comment on the Bugzilla, not that I think it would help, but it's better than nothing, I guess | 19:12 |
| ondondil | Oh, thanks for mentioning that it happens on 18.04 too. Now I don't need to create an account just for that specifically, I guess | 19:16 |
| Spass | I kind of lost my hopes for bug fixing after my "screen edge blinking" bug, now I have that "if something is broken - fix it yourself and don't expect someone to fix it for you" approach, and since I can't code I'll just sit quietly and I'll try to not complain too much ;) | 19:19 |
| Spass | all I can do to contribute is helping new users with (very) simple things, here and on forums | 19:20 |
| djtravz | Is anybody there? | 20:52 |
| djtravz | I’m kinda freaking out | 20:52 |
| krytarik | I see.. | 20:53 |
| djtravz | My computer wasn’t connecting to my Ethernet so I tried resetting it. When doing so it reset instantaneously which is weird for my computer. I tried shutting down, but it just went right back on. I tried force restarting it with my reset button and it went off. When turning back on, it stayed at a black screen for a long time. I held down my power button to shut it down forcefully. Now when I turned it on it is stuck at “kernel p | 20:59 |
| djtravz | “Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)” | 20:59 |
| djtravz | http://imgur.com/AoMlGTP | 21:02 |
| djtravz | Can anybody please help | 21:04 |
| djtravz | Booting into recovery mode does the same thing | 21:06 |
| krytarik | djtravz: The main #ubuntu channel might be a better place for this. | 21:08 |
