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 [10:28] ddoobb: 16.10 with an outdated firefox version?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