| Ab3L | hello. i'm having some problem with accents. for example, when i want the char "i" with a "^", normally i type "^i", but from the upgrade to 18.04 the char "^" is always alone. The same for "~". It is impossible for me to write Sa~o Paulo, for example. The same is for "ยจ". | 12:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Ab3L | do you know how to solve? | 12:37 |
| Kaylas | hi all, i've a very old pc and have an issue during the installation.I use "acpi=off" as boot options. When i try to install it, after the last "next button" it load infinitly without any other window. | 14:12 |
| Kaylas | any tips? | 14:12 |
| blip99 | hi all, I've been Xfce for 10+ years, seemed to be the ideal middle-ground for me between features and simplicity/lightweight. But I recently realized my xubuntu 18.04 is on the latest stable Xfce which is from 2015... | 14:40 |
| blip99 | Do you think it's worth trying the preview version of Xfce? | 14:41 |
| blip99 | or can you recommend other similar Wms that get more regular updates? For example there's a multi-monitor bug in the Window Buttons item on the panel that has been around for years, it will probably never get fixed | 14:42 |
| diogenes_ | blip99, in a vm maybe | 14:42 |
| blip99 | diogenes_, i've thought of giving lubuntu another try, though i dont have too much time to tinker. would appreciate experiences of others | 14:42 |
| sim642 | Is my xubuntu 16.04 install not supposed to be suggesting 18.04.1 upgrade now? | 17:10 |
| sim642 | do-release-upgrade also says "No new release found." | 17:13 |
| knome | there's a bug in the upgrade, so it isn't supposed to recommend the upgrade before that's fixed | 17:13 |
| sim642 | Is there more info about it somewhere? an ETA? | 17:15 |
| knome | bug 1766890 | 17:16 |
| ubottu | bug 1766890 in gnome-menus (Ubuntu) "package gnome-menus 3.13.3-6ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1766890 | 17:16 |
| knome | there's no ETA, otherwise i reckon it would be fixed already... | 17:16 |
| sim642 | Looks like some activity few days ago, gives me hope | 17:21 |
| knome | it's definitely being worked on; this affects all ubuntu systems (including ubuntu desktop) so it's high priority | 17:22 |
| NerdTheThird | didn't 16.04.5 came out few days ago? if your system ain't broken, leave it like that til they fix the bug | 17:23 |
| sim642 | Sure, it's just nice to get some major package upgrades every once in a while though on a LTS system | 17:25 |
| sim642 | Some projects out there kind of assume being on 18.04 already because "it's out for months" without realizing that upgrading to it doesn't really work | 17:26 |
| knome | it's not unexceptional that it "doesn't work" for "months" as the upgrade is only suggested once .1 is out | 17:26 |
| knome | but yes, 16.04 *is* 2 years old... | 17:26 |
| knome | 2, 5years | 17:27 |
| kuwanger | I'm migrating from 14.04 -> 18.04, did a reinstall, and trying to move my ecryptfs home back but whenever I login it goes to a black screen and returns to the login screen. | 17:32 |
| kuwanger | Login from terminal works and my home folder is being mounted. Should I just rename .config/.local/etc? | 17:32 |
| kuwanger | Actually, just tried that. Still going to a black screen and returning. What log do I look at to find out what's happening? | 17:34 |
| knome | what GPU and graphics driver are you using? | 17:36 |
| kuwanger | nvidia, nvidia-384/390 proprietary driver | 17:37 |
| kuwanger | Another tempuser works. So does another user with an encrypted home. | 17:37 |
| knome | i'd probably try the open source driver to see if that fixes | 17:37 |
| knome | right, then it's something in your home definitely | 17:37 |
| kuwanger | Right, which is why I'm asking how I figure out what it is. :) | 17:37 |
| knome | black screen is "interesting" though | 17:38 |
| knome | .Xauthority or .ICEauthority? | 17:38 |
| kuwanger | knome: Yea, renaming both those fixed it. Thank you. | 17:41 |
| knome | np | 17:42 |
