arakimo_does anyone know how to set up VPN in xubuntu?00:29
arakimo_usually (after installing network-manager-openvpn/openresolv/unbound) I can add it via the "import existing configuration" interface00:31
arakimo_but in xubuntu when i select the file, it then doesn't give me anywhere to actually input my VPN login details :/00:31
arakimo_o.O00:32
arakimo_it appears that the whole 'VPN' tab in the GUI is missing, compared to the same menus on my fedora xfce laptop00:35

ddoobbHi guys I have a fresh install of Xubuntu and If I open a youtube video firefox grinds to a halt. I haven't been able to watch a single video so far. This wasn't a problem in Ubuntu 16.10 I was running earlier.10:23
ddoobbAny ideas?10:23
brainwashddoobb: 16.10 with an outdated firefox version?10:28
ddoobbNo it was the latest10:28
ddoobbI just found that the videos work fine if embedded in another ite ilke duckduckgo search results10:28
brainwashcould it be some firefox extension?10:29
brainwashideally, you should test with a separate firefox profile, or with safemode10:29
ddoobbalright trying safemode10:31
ddoobbthanks brainwash it was an extension10:58

xubuntu67wHello, I have problems with my USB sticks. They will always be mounted read only. With LiveCD it is possible to write that stick.16:24
GridCubehave you tried plugging it into different ports?16:37
xubuntu67wYes, but it doesn't help. This is the entry in /etc/mtab: /dev/sdd1 /media/dirk/Tanzen ext3 ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,data=ordered 0 016:44
kumoolxubuntu67w, did you try opening disks and try to change mount options?16:49
kumoolyou just need to set as rw16:49
kumool(maybe)16:49
kumoolalso don't use ext3 for portable devices16:49
xubuntu67wopening disks: How can I use it?16:52
kumoolSettings > Hardware > disks16:52
xubuntu67wah, ok, it is not possible, state in disks is: /dev/sdd1 (write protected)16:54
xubuntu67wso it is also not possible to format that stick on my laptop16:55
xubuntu67wThe menu 'Format' is disabled16:56
kumoolxubuntu67w, i think you're better off asking in #ubuntu16:58
xubuntu62wI just updated to xubuntu cosmic and now I have no (zero) wallpapers in Settings->Desktop.  Googling suggested they live in /usr/share/background, which only contains greybird.svg, xfce/xfce-blud.jpg and xfce/xfce-teal.jpg.  I've used "apt-get install --reinstall" on xfdesktop4-data, greybird-gtk-theme, xubuntu-community-wallpapers, xubuntu-community-wallpapers-bionic, xubuntu-community-wallpapers-xenial, xubuntu-wallpapers.  (A17:27
xubuntu62wOops, my previous post got truncated.  To continue.... Still no wallpapers.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.17:28
kumoolxubuntu62w, /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops17:31
GridCubethe default directory of the desktop images is  /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops if you want to add images to that list you have to add them to ~/.local/share/xfce4/backdrops instead17:53
