| Spass | tomreyn, do you have "xscreensaver" package installed? if yes try to remove it, but that's just a blind guess | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| brainwash | probably the case | 00:05 |
| brainwash | or gnome-screensaver if that thing is still available | 00:05 |
| brainwash | tomreyn: or https://github.com/the-cavalry/light-locker/issues/87 | 00:11 |
| tomreyn | right, gnome-screensaver is running | 00:37 |
| tomreyn | it's not ticked on the session and startup list, though | 00:39 |
| brainwash | tomreyn: did you figure out why gnome-screensaver is started? | 08:27 |
| jarnos | Why is the caret needed? https://xubuntu.org/news/introducing-xubuntu-core/ | 09:41 |
| jarnos | I think it chould not match anything as it is the last character. | 09:42 |
| Spass | correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this article was written before "xubuntu-core" package was included in the repos, so that command uses tasksel task | 09:54 |
| Spass | and I guess the caret isn't needed anymore | 09:54 |
| Spass | jarnos, https://shantanugoel.com/2010/10/23/apt-get-caret/ | 09:56 |
| brainwash | Spass: it is needed | 10:46 |
| brainwash | Spass: see bug 1754872 | 10:46 |
| ubottu | bug 1754872 in xubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "gnome-control-center is unusable on xubuntu-desktop, but called from Gear (About this Computer, System Settings) icon, Text Entry Settings, clock (Time & Date Settings)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1754872 | 10:46 |
| brainwash | mostly read my last comments in that report | 10:47 |
| brainwash | (the issue applies to xubuntu-core also) | 10:49 |
| tomreyn | brainwash: i think it was still started from when i had been running gdm. i've since rebooted and it's not running now. | 13:06 |
| brainwash | tomreyn: so, everything working properly now? | 13:08 |
| tomreyn | not really. if the screen goes off now, when i reactivate it i ghet a black screen with a frozen mouse pointer. | 13:17 |
| tomreyn | and there's no way to recover from it other than a reboot. systemctl stop lightdm gets stuck, doesn't return to the shell. and recovering the running session is impossible. | 13:18 |
| tomreyn | and after reboot i get to see this http://i.imgur.com/divQyJX.png | 13:23 |
| brainwash | oh boy | 13:28 |
| brainwash | that is light-locker-settings though | 13:29 |
| brainwash | the configuration app for light-locker | 13:29 |
| tomreyn | yes, i had opened it to see whether my settings are still correct | 13:29 |
| tomreyn | sadly, this 'experience' drives me right back to ubuntu proper. at lest for now, | 13:30 |
| tomreyn | i'dl ike to help debugging more but i really need a stable desktop | 13:30 |
| brainwash | I think l-l-s is not even needed in 18.04. the settings can be accessed via the power manager settings. | 13:30 |
| tomreyn | the unrecoverable black screen is more of a concern, though ;) | 13:31 |
| brainwash | yep | 13:31 |
| hk238 | hi I have xubuntu on another system the /boot drive gets filled up with initrd files and runs out of space so you cant update | 16:00 |
| hk238 | anyway to fix this? | 16:01 |
| diogenes_ | hk238, 16.04? | 16:19 |
| hk238 | I dont know which version this is | 16:38 |
| diogenes_ | hk238, terminal > lsb_release -a | 16:56 |
| hk238 | 16.04 | 16:56 |
| diogenes_ | 1st what you did wrong is that you made a separate /boot partition 2nd try in terminal: sudo apt autoremove | 16:57 |
| hk238 | yeah | 17:09 |
| hk238 | it's pretty common to make a separate boot partition and xubuntu didn't make any effort saying it wasn't a good idea | 17:09 |
| diogenes_ | it's not xubuntu's thing, it's the common mistake that all the new users come across at some point | 17:10 |
| diogenes_ | i was not an exception | 17:10 |
| hk238 | so far only with xubuntu I've had this problem :D | 17:12 |
| hk238 | but yeah at least it's a lesson learned, maybe I'll make a bigger boot partition next time, or won't make a separate one | 17:12 |
| hk238 | but currently the fix seems to be reinstalling linux :o | 17:13 |
| diogenes_ | yeah, don't make a separate /boot | 17:13 |
| hk238 | or can also make a larger boot | 17:30 |
| knome | if xubuntu notified users every time they do something that might not be a good idea, it would be full of disclaimer popups... | 19:00 |
| knome | i guess the installer could mention this, but that would be generic *buntu*, not something the xubuntu developers would engineer | 19:01 |
| Stek_Turku | hi all | 23:01 |
| Stek_Turku | on my 64 bit notebook i have installed a 32 bit 16.04 lts (root partition and home partition are different). Can i install xubuntu 18.04 lts 64 bit over the previous 32 bit? can i use the same home partition? what does it happen on my dara and my 32 bit progscalready installed? | 23:04 |
| Spass | hello Stek_Turku, first of all - backup all your important data before doing anything. I think you'll be completely fine installing 64-bit 18.04 on that "/" partition (and formatting it) and choosing your existing /home partition to be used | 23:31 |
| Stek_Turku | @Spass: Thanks | 23:33 |
| Spass | I don't think that there's any architecture related stuff on /home, but maybe someone more knowledgable here will confirm | 23:33 |
