[05:36] so the new version of xubuntu is not out yet? Couple of hours? [05:36] I want to finally upgrade from 16.04 :D [05:38] Babloyi: 18.04 has been out since April - next release is in October [05:38] I believe he's talking about the first point release, when it is offered to the last LTS. [05:38] can't upgrade directly to 18.04 from 16.04 [05:38] yeah [06:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/live-build/+bug/1778811 [06:36] yay [06:36] Launchpad bug 1778811 in live-build (Ubuntu Bionic) "live-build doesn't work with multi-part initrds" [Undecided,Fix released] [06:36] and bit me soo hard [06:36] that* [10:10] 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? [10:11] thanks!! [10:18] 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!! === The_Milkman_ is now known as The_Milkman [14:39] 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. [14:40] 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. [14:42] The text disappears just like this https://i.stack.imgur.com/7mlPa.png [14:42] Also note, it started occurring once I moved to 16.04 from 14.04. [14:44] that's really weird, just like you've lost permissions to read "/usr/share/themes/..." for example [14:49] It's not that the text is completely gone, its just missing most of the characters. [14:50] I think this issue describes it really well https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/5607#issuecomment-244621775. [14:58] blingrang, did you try some of the solutions proposed in those GitHub issue pages? [14:59] what's you kernel version? "uname -r" [15:01] hmm, some users say that upgrading kernel worked for them, and some users say the issue still persists [15:01] but it's worth trying I guess [15:01] Spass, this is what I have `4.4.0-121-generic` [15:02] So I don't think I can upgrade anymore. [15:03] 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] HWE for 16.04 is currently 4.15.0.29.51 [15:04] btw, do you consider upgrading to 18.04 in the near future? [15:04] *newer [15:04] Yeah [15:05] but I'm waiting on upgrading to 18.04 a little while since this is my work laptop [15:05] as for the kernel, I guess if the issue pops up again, I'll give it a go. [15:06] Spass, Thanks for the help anyways. [15:06] yeah, in my opinion kernel 4.15 may help and shouldn't cause any problems on 16.04 [15:07] no problem [16:29] hi [16:41] hello Bucket-o-Monkeys [17:00] hi there [17:29] hello [17:31] i need some help [18:46] 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? === NerdTheThird_ is now known as NerdTheThird [18:47] NerdTheThird_: backup backup backup, then backup again, then do dist upgrade [18:47] everything is on another drive, no worries, and thanks! :D [18:48] NerdTheThird: there should be a guide to doing a dist upgrade on Ubuntus website. I'd go with that first [18:48] sounds good [18:49] i wonder what will be the changes to 18.04.1 [18:50] NerdTheThird, comparing to 16.04 or to 18.04? [18:50] to 18.04 [18:51] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/18.04.1 [18:51] * genii wanders back to the coffepot [18:53] genii, nice link, thanks, more bug fixes than I supposed [18:53] does this apply to all flavours? i was on Arch for a while so i'm confused by this system now ;p [18:54] this is mostly for gnome as far as i can see [18:54] NerdTheThird: All of it except the desktop-specific section [18:54] ah, okay okay. tnx [19:11] wasn't there supposed to be a new release today? [19:12] 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] yeah true, USA is behind Europe [19:19] bah [19:19] filthy american timings [19:28] Babloyi: it's released now [19:28] that was fast :O [19:28] where does it say this? [19:29] umm about 3 lines up :) [19:29] also I just read the release mail [19:29] oh, I don't get a release mail [19:29] and I don't see it anywhere on the site yet [19:29] and then trotted over to https://xubuntu.org/download and updated the torrent links to the .1 release [19:29] Babloyi: which site? [19:30] https://xubuntu.org? [19:30] if you mean xubuntu.org - that's because no-one other than me is around and I'm talking to you :D [19:30] :O [19:30] well, if I run the updater, will it pick it up, then? [19:31] not sure - it might [19:31] :O [19:31] guess I'll wait till tomorrow [19:31] depends on the mirror you're pointed at, they get updated at different intervals (depends on who is running it) [19:31] I'm still on 16.04 LTS, been waiting since April [19:31] Babloyi: you might need to wait a while [19:31] hahahaha [19:31] tomorrow, then [19:31] TOMORROW, OR ELSE [19:32] Babloyi: we're all volunteers here, a little patience would be apprciated :) [19:32] * Babloyi sharpens his knife [19:35] hey, I'd offer to help, but I have no idea how [19:38] Babloyi: well - https://xubuntu.org/contribute/ plenty of stuff there depending on your skill lever [19:38] s/lever/level [19:38] I have skill level 'Can Break Anything' so I do testing :p [19:39] yeah, that seems all I'd be capable for [19:39] I mean, I have programming knowledge, but I've never contributed to a big project before [19:40] then join in - we had half a dozen testers for this point release - so one more increases the % by a good old lump ;) [19:41] tomorrow, perhaps [19:42] 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 [19:43] ok [19:43] all the testing pages have been recently updated by a couple of our users === Israphel is now known as Israphel_ [21:52] Hi [21:53] hello xubuntu96w [21:59] I installed Xubuntu today in a laptop that i dont use often.
