[00:29] <arakimo_> hey
[00:29] <arakimo_> does anyone know how to set up VPN in xubuntu?
[00:31] <arakimo_> usually (after installing network-manager-openvpn/openresolv/unbound) I can add it via the "import existing configuration" interface
[00:31] <arakimo_> but in xubuntu when i select the file, it then doesn't give me anywhere to actually input my VPN login details :/
[00:32] <arakimo_> o.O
[00:35] <arakimo_> it appears that the whole 'VPN' tab in the GUI is missing, compared to the same menus on my fedora xfce laptop
[07:44] <draconicice> hello fellows
[10:23] <ddoobb> Hi 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] <ddoobb> Any ideas?
[10:28] <brainwash> ddoobb: 16.10 with an outdated firefox version?
[10:28] <ddoobb> No it was the latest
[10:28] <ddoobb> I just found that the videos work fine if embedded in another ite ilke duckduckgo search results
[10:29] <brainwash> could it be some firefox extension?
[10:29] <brainwash> ideally, you should test with a separate firefox profile, or with safemode
[10:31] <ddoobb> alright trying safemode
[10:58] <ddoobb> thanks brainwash it was an extension
[10:59] <brainwash> that is usually the culprit :)
[13:02] <miksa> Anyone here ever had a problem where Xubuntu would crash and restart after changing brightness
[16:23] <xubuntu67w> Hello, I have problems with my USB sticks. They will always be mounted read only. With LiveCD it is possible to wite that stick.
[16:24] <xubuntu67w> Hello, I have problems with my USB sticks. They will always be mounted read only. With LiveCD it is possible to write that stick.
[16:37] <GridCube> have you tried plugging it into different ports?
[16:44] <xubuntu67w> Yes, 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 0
[16:49] <kumool> xubuntu67w, did you try opening disks and try to change mount options?
[16:49] <kumool> you just need to set as rw
[16:49] <kumool> (maybe)
[16:49] <kumool> also don't use ext3 for portable devices
[16:52] <xubuntu67w> opening disks: How can I use it?
[16:52] <kumool> Settings > Hardware > disks
[16:54] <xubuntu67w> ah, ok, it is not possible, state in disks is: /dev/sdd1 (write protected)
[16:55] <xubuntu67w> so it is also not possible to format that stick on my laptop
[16:56] <xubuntu67w> The menu 'Format' is disabled
[16:58] <kumool> xubuntu67w, i think you're better off asking in #ubuntu
[17:27] <xubuntu62w> I 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.  (A
[17:28] <xubuntu62w> Oops, my previous post got truncated.  To continue.... Still no wallpapers.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
[17:31] <kumool> xubuntu62w, /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops
[17:53] <GridCube> the 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 instead
