[01:12] <CrazyLikeAFox> So, the udate to 18.04.1LTS finished
[01:12] <CrazyLikeAFox> and it still does the hang on normal boot thing
[01:12] <CrazyLikeAFox> after fs checks finish
[01:15] <CrazyLikeAFox> it'll resume booting if I do recovery mode first, but won't directly boot
[01:15] <CrazyLikeAFox> something is fubar'd :T
[01:24] <Wayward_Vagabond> Well, it works well enough to do irc and web browsing
[02:39] <bleb> how do i configure the default xfce config
[02:40] <bleb> like i just configured xfce for one particular user.  now when i log in as another user, xfce is the xubuntu default rather than the configuration i just made as the other user
[02:40] <bleb> how do i make one particular user's config be the default for all users?
[08:45] <hans_> really annoying problem with my xubuntu VMWare VM - when i resize the VM window, the window turns completely black and unresponsive - until i minimize it and restore it, then it's back to normal at the size i set it to...
[08:46] <hans_> happens on xubuntu 18.04 - does not happen on debian 9+xfce4  - both open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop  is installed on both, any idea what's happening?
[08:46] <hans_> have tried rebooting, didn't help
[08:50] <pmjdebruijn> does it happen without open-vm-tools-desktop ?
[08:50] <pmjdebruijn> also check your /var/log/Xorg*log
[08:51] <hans_> anything specific i'm looking for? http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Zr2Py5mS4T/
[08:52] <hans_> i'll try uninstalling open-vm-tools-desktop, rebooting, and see if it still happens
[08:52] <pmjdebruijn> nothing super obviously wrong there
[08:53] <hans_> problem happens even after uninstalling open-vm-tools-desktop and rebooting
[08:53] <hans_> weirdly, i'd expect resizing to not work properly at all without it, but resize worked fine (except the hang issue)
[08:54] <hans_> i suspect `apt remove --purge open-vm-tools-desktop; reboot;`  didn't do a proper uninstall
[08:55] <hans_> oh oki
[08:55] <hans_> now it only happens once per reboot it seems, dafuq
[08:55] <hans_> now it freeze on the first resize
[08:55] <hans_> but 2nd resize  + works fine
[12:14] <the-noob> hi, can't find an answer on this... how much disk space do I need for xubuntu ?
[12:17] <Spass> hello the-noob, it depends on your needs, but see here - https://xubuntu.org/requirements/
[12:18] <the-noob> oh boi
[12:19] <the-noob> and there I was thinking this is a light option
[12:19] <the-noob> slightly offtopic then... any recommendations for a max 4GB distro ?
[12:20] <diogenes_> the-noob, AntiX OS
[12:20] <the-noob> converting a windows media box but I still need the GUI
[15:03]  * gnrp has Xubuntu on a 16GB hdd, with 8GB still free. And lots of stuff installed...
[15:04] <gnrp> the-noob: Maybe Lubuntu even? Or try a Debian and then install desktop components as needed
[15:30] <the-noob> gnrp: found a solution.. upgrading the 'hdd'
[15:30] <the-noob> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/273074952706 this is what I have now
[15:31] <the-noob> going to buy https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291747605907 and a 16gb SD card and that's that
[15:32] <the-noob> I am indeed tempted to go for a 'server' Debian and add the GUI after... will see what time I have available
[15:42] <Axzercion> I recommend upgrading the hdd. Apps generally don't shrink in size and a 16GB will last you a lot longer
[15:43] <Axzercion> sometimes you run into bugs that make you go "was that regression really necessary?". In this case display settings for multiple monitors. It gets reset to mirrored on every boot...
[16:03] <gnrp> indeed, an hdd upgrade is the best thing. 4gb is really low
[16:16] <knome> the-noob, additionally, i would consider a "real" SSD to attach to your SATA rather than a memory card reader for both speed, reliability and lifespan
[16:16] <knome> egh, not even "real"; just real
