| Babloyi | so the new version of xubuntu is not out yet? Couple of hours? | 05:36 |
|---|---|---|
| Babloyi | I want to finally upgrade from 16.04 :D | 05:36 |
| well_laid_lawn | Babloyi: 18.04 has been out since April - next release is in October | 05:38 |
| Unit193 | I believe he's talking about the first point release, when it is offered to the last LTS. | 05:38 |
| Babloyi | can't upgrade directly to 18.04 from 16.04 | 05:38 |
| Babloyi | yeah | 05:38 |

| oldtommy | hello! Question: how can I use several flavours (desktops) of ubuntu on the same standard-installation of ubuntu? Jus using apt-get install xfce (e.g.) ... ? Or is there more work todo if I want tu use xubuntu and standard-ubuntu on the same machine? | 10:10 |
| oldtommy | thanks!! | 10:11 |
| oldtommy | Maybe some additional info: i have ubuntu 18.04 lts, and would like to add kde desktop and xfce desktop. as similar as possible to the installations of xubuntu and kubuntu. THANK YOU!! | 10:18 |

| blingrang | Hi, I'm facing a problem where if I lock my screen and then unlock afterwards, windows and icons do not display any text. I'm on Xubuntu 16.04 and this problem is completely random. | 14:39 |
| blingrang | https://askubuntu.com/questions/1019962/menu-texts-dissapear-and-desktop-does-not-show-icons This question is the closest I've found on the net describing this behaviour, but it doesn't have an answer so here I am. | 14:40 |
| blingrang | The text disappears just like this https://i.stack.imgur.com/7mlPa.png | 14:42 |
| blingrang | Also note, it started occurring once I moved to 16.04 from 14.04. | 14:42 |
| Spass | that's really weird, just like you've lost permissions to read "/usr/share/themes/..." for example | 14:44 |
| blingrang | It's not that the text is completely gone, its just missing most of the characters. | 14:49 |
| blingrang | I think this issue describes it really well https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5607#issuecomment-244621775. | 14:50 |
| Spass | blingrang, did you try some of the solutions proposed in those GitHub issue pages? | 14:58 |
| Spass | what's you kernel version? "uname -r" | 14:59 |
| Spass | hmm, some users say that upgrading kernel worked for them, and some users say the issue still persists | 15:01 |
| Spass | but it's worth trying I guess | 15:01 |
| blingrang | Spass, this is what I have `4.4.0-121-generic` | 15:01 |
| blingrang | So I don't think I can upgrade anymore. | 15:02 |
| Spass | never kernel may help here, but that's your decision to make if you want to try it or not - "sudo apt install linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04" | 15:03 |
| Spass | HWE for 16.04 is currently 4.15.0.29.51 | 15:03 |
| Spass | btw, do you consider upgrading to 18.04 in the near future? | 15:04 |
| Spass | *newer | 15:04 |
| blingrang | Yeah | 15:04 |
| blingrang | but I'm waiting on upgrading to 18.04 a little while since this is my work laptop | 15:05 |
| blingrang | as for the kernel, I guess if the issue pops up again, I'll give it a go. | 15:05 |
| blingrang | Spass, Thanks for the help anyways. | 15:06 |
| Spass | yeah, in my opinion kernel 4.15 may help and shouldn't cause any problems on 16.04 | 15:06 |
| Spass | no problem | 15:07 |
| Bucket-o-Monkeys | hi | 16:29 |
| Spass | hello Bucket-o-Monkeys | 16:41 |
| BarnabasDK | hi there | 17:00 |
| xubuntu07d | hello | 17:29 |
| xubuntu07d | i need some help | 17:31 |
| NerdTheThird_ | i hear ubuntu is on 18.04.1, when is xubuntu gonna be on 18.04.1? also, what's the safest way to dist upgrade? | 18:46 |
| === NerdTheThird_ is now known as NerdTheThird | ||
| vivus | NerdTheThird_: backup backup backup, then backup again, then do dist upgrade | 18:47 |
| NerdTheThird | everything is on another drive, no worries, and thanks! :D | 18:47 |
| vivus | NerdTheThird: there should be a guide to doing a dist upgrade on Ubuntus website. I'd go with that first | 18:48 |
| NerdTheThird | sounds good | 18:48 |
| NerdTheThird | i wonder what will be the changes to 18.04.1 | 18:49 |
| Spass | NerdTheThird, comparing to 16.04 or to 18.04? | 18:50 |
| NerdTheThird | to 18.04 | 18:50 |
| genii | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/18.04.1 | 18:51 |
| * genii wanders back to the coffepot | 18:51 | |
| Spass | genii, nice link, thanks, more bug fixes than I supposed | 18:53 |
| NerdTheThird | does this apply to all flavours? i was on Arch for a while so i'm confused by this system now ;p | 18:53 |
| NerdTheThird | this is mostly for gnome as far as i can see | 18:54 |
| genii | NerdTheThird: All of it except the desktop-specific section | 18:54 |
| NerdTheThird | ah, okay okay. tnx | 18:54 |
| Babloyi | wasn't there supposed to be a new release today? | 19:11 |
| flocculant | 18.04.1 is due out today (today = 26th July, so there is still some time to go until that day is finished globally) | 19:12 |
| NerdTheThird | yeah true, USA is behind Europe | 19:12 |
| Babloyi | bah | 19:19 |
| Babloyi | filthy american timings | 19:19 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: it's released now | 19:28 |
| Babloyi | that was fast :O | 19:28 |
| Babloyi | where does it say this? | 19:28 |
| flocculant | umm about 3 lines up :) | 19:29 |
| flocculant | also I just read the release mail | 19:29 |
| Babloyi | oh, I don't get a release mail | 19:29 |
| Babloyi | and I don't see it anywhere on the site yet | 19:29 |
| flocculant | and then trotted over to https://xubuntu.org/download and updated the torrent links to the .1 release | 19:29 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: which site? | 19:29 |
| Babloyi | https://xubuntu.org? | 19:30 |
| flocculant | if you mean xubuntu.org - that's because no-one other than me is around and I'm talking to you :D | 19:30 |
| Babloyi | :O | 19:30 |
| Babloyi | well, if I run the updater, will it pick it up, then? | 19:30 |
| flocculant | not sure - it might | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | :O | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | guess I'll wait till tomorrow | 19:31 |
| pleia2 | depends on the mirror you're pointed at, they get updated at different intervals (depends on who is running it) | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | I'm still on 16.04 LTS, been waiting since April | 19:31 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: you might need to wait a while | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | hahahaha | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | tomorrow, then | 19:31 |
| Babloyi | TOMORROW, OR ELSE | 19:31 |
| pleia2 | Babloyi: we're all volunteers here, a little patience would be apprciated :) | 19:32 |
| * Babloyi sharpens his knife | 19:32 | |
| Babloyi | hey, I'd offer to help, but I have no idea how | 19:35 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: well - https://xubuntu.org/contribute/ plenty of stuff there depending on your skill lever | 19:38 |
| flocculant | s/lever/level | 19:38 |
| flocculant | I have skill level 'Can Break Anything' so I do testing :p | 19:38 |
| Babloyi | yeah, that seems all I'd be capable for | 19:39 |
| Babloyi | I mean, I have programming knowledge, but I've never contributed to a big project before | 19:39 |
| flocculant | then join in - we had half a dozen testers for this point release - so one more increases the % by a good old lump ;) | 19:40 |
| Babloyi | tomorrow, perhaps | 19:41 |
| flocculant | Babloyi: next week we will be testing the last 16.04 point release - add yourself to the xubuntu dev mailing list and you'll see when | 19:42 |
| Babloyi | ok | 19:43 |
| flocculant | all the testing pages have been recently updated by a couple of our users | 19:43 |

| xubuntu95w | Sorry if my english is not good. | 22:00 |

| xubuntu95w | And nothing happens | 22:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | where does it say that ? | 22:10 |
| xubuntu95w | After i press "Install Xubuntu" in the UNetbootin window | 22:12 |
| well_laid_lawn | I know nothing about that | 22:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | !install | 22:20 |

| well_laid_lawn | wireless and vpn are two different things | 22:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | are you sure you have a wifi device ? | 22:26 |
