[03:14] <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?

[03:59] <krytarik> m00n_urn: They literally only user who has entered the channel since you posted it last, is yourself btw.
[04:00] <m00n_urn> krytarik, wut?! :D
[04:07] <m00n_urn> krytarik, do you have any idea why this keeps occuring often?
[04:45] <kumool> mmm
[04:45] <kumool> clean your ram
[04:45] <kumool> or your entire PC
[04:46] <kumool> you can also erase xubuntu and install another OS
[04:46] <kumool> just in case
[05:03] <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?
[05:04] <kumool> you can try to memtest sure
[05:05] <kumool> shrink the hdd and dualboot another OS
[05:05] <kumool> if you don't want to erase anything
[05:07] <m00n_urn> lol, k
[06:39] <sarka> m00n_urn: I'd suspect your pc is overheating or your RAM is defective
[06:40] <sarka> so cleaning your pc, maybe taking the ram off and putting it in back again and if it still freezes try memtest
[06:41] <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.
[06:42] <sarka> yep
[06:42] <m00n_urn> Okay, but what about overheating. You got tips for that?
[06:43] <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
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <sarka> sometimes it dries up and doesn't perform well
[06:46] <sarka> maybe disassemble the laptop, vacuum/blow it and just clean old paste and put some new paste in straight away
[06:48] <m00n_urn> Oh, alright. thermald is already installed on my system and it didn't really make any difference
[11:07] <xubuntu28d> Good day! Support for older AMD GPUs has  been dropped on newer version of ubuntu? (eg. Juniper PRO - hd5750) of the free driver
[11:15] <xubuntu27d> was looking for a Screen Tearing fix - found it here https://tinyurl.com/jg8wrve
[14:19] <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
[14:20] <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?
[18:49] <ondondil> Hello
[18:50] <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.
[18:51] <ondondil> I noticed this first in Xubuntu 16.04 and now again in 18.04.
[18:51] <ondondil> It happens in VM too
[18:54] <Spass> ondondil, hello, I can confirm that on my Xubuntu 17.10
[18:55] <Spass> seems that we have the same bugs, plank blinking, Firefox 60 one, and now this...
[19:01] <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
[19:02] <ondondil> https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13697
[19:03] <ondondil> sorry to have bothered you
[19:03] <Spass> well, I can at least add a comment that it also affects me
[19:08] <Spass> ondondil, what's the Thunar version on 18.04?
[19:09] <ondondil> 1.6.15
[19:12] <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
[19:16] <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
[19:19] <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 ;)
[19:20] <Spass> all I can do to contribute is helping new users with (very) simple things, here and on forums
[20:52] <djtravz> Is anybody there?
[20:52] <djtravz> I’m kinda freaking out
[20:53] <krytarik> I see..
[20:59] <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)”

[21:04] <djtravz> Can anybody please help
[21:06] <djtravz> Booting into recovery mode does the same thing
[21:08] <krytarik> djtravz: The main #ubuntu channel might be a better place for this.
