[12:37] <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 "¨".
[12:37] <Ab3L> do you know how to solve?
[14:12] <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?
[14:40] <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...
[14:41] <blip99> Do you think it's worth trying the preview version of Xfce?
[14:42] <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
[17:10] <sim642> Is my xubuntu 16.04 install not supposed to be suggesting 18.04.1 upgrade now?
[17:13] <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
[17:15] <sim642> Is there more info about it somewhere? an ETA?
[17:16] <knome> bug 1766890
[17:16] <knome> there's no ETA, otherwise i reckon it would be fixed already...
[17:21] <sim642> Looks like some activity few days ago, gives me hope
[17:22] <knome> it's definitely being worked on; this affects all ubuntu systems (including ubuntu desktop) so it's high priority
[17:23] <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
[17:25] <sim642> Sure, it's just nice to get some major package upgrades every once in a while though on a LTS system
[17:26] <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...
[17:27] <knome> 2, 5years
[17:32] <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?
[17:34] <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?
[17:36] <knome> what GPU and graphics driver are you using?
[17:37] <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. :)
[17:38] <knome> black screen is "interesting" though
[17:38] <knome> .Xauthority or .ICEauthority?
[17:41] <kuwanger> knome: Yea, renaming both those fixed it. Thank you.
