| xubuntu02w | Hi. I have an HP Stream 13 laptop (Celeron CPU, 2 GB memory and 32 GB storage). Would there be a difference between the 32bit or 64bit version of Xubuntu? | 00:05 |

| xubuntu18d | how to asign swap area while installing xubuntu 18.04.2 | 10:03 |
| ducasse | !pm | xubuntu18d | 10:19 |
| ubottu | xubuntu18d: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. | 10:19 |
| xubuntu18d | ok | 10:20 |
| xubuntu18d | i am installing xubuntu 18.04.2 but not getting swap area option | 10:20 |
| xubuntu18d | how to asign swap area? | 10:21 |
| ducasse | swap should be set up automatically by the installer | 10:22 |
| diogenes_ | ducasse, since when it's set up automatically? | 10:24 |
| ondondil | Since 17.04 ubuntu uses swap file by default | 10:24 |
| diogenes_ | oh nice because last i was using 16.04, and what size does it make that swap file? | 10:25 |
| xubuntu18d | thanks man i was browsing half an hour to get solution | 10:25 |
| ondondil | diogenes_: AFAIK it's no more than 5% of free disk space or 2GiB, whichever is lower | 10:31 |
| ondondil | but I'm not entirely sure | 10:31 |
| diogenes_ | ondondil, but is that even correct? what if i want more or less or even no swap at all? | 10:32 |
| ducasse | it's easy to make the swapfile smaller or larger, or just remove it | 10:35 |
| diogenes_ | ducasse, is there a tool for that or an unexperienced user will have to tweaking the fstab and stuff? | 10:36 |
| ducasse | to turn it off you need to comment it out of the fstab | 10:37 |
| ducasse | changing the size is a simple command or two | 10:37 |
| diogenes_ | ok, thank you. | 10:37 |
| xubuntu43d | hey guys i want to install xubuntu on my system with windows 10 as dual boot. I have 60 GB free space. How to make partitions to install Xubuntu18.04.2? | 11:41 |
| Andrio | Is either operating system already installed? | 11:44 |
| xubuntu43d | windows 10 is installed | 11:45 |
| Andrio | I used the Disk Management tool in Windows (Win+X) to free space for the new partition | 11:45 |
| Andrio | Then you can create the partition, do not format it and format it using the Xubuntu installer | 11:46 |
| xubuntu43d | I mean how to make boot and home partition size during install. | 11:47 |
| xubuntu43d | what should be size and which partition i have to make | 11:47 |
| Andrio | How big's your drive? | 11:48 |
| Andrio | Mine was an 84 GB/24 GB split, which worked all right | 11:49 |
| vp11 | xubuntu43d: how much RAM does your device have? | 11:49 |
| Andrio | with Windows being on the 84 GB partition | 11:49 |
| vp11 | as a rule of thumb you will need a root partition (/) a home partition (/home) and swap. | 11:50 |
| vp11 | you can create a swap file manually later I guess, so maybe just root and home partitions. | 11:50 |
| vp11 | as far as I know the Xubuntu installer has an option to decide for itself how it will partition itself and use all of your free space. that's the easier option. | 11:51 |
| xubuntu43d | Home partition size is 84 on your system | 11:51 |
| vp11 | if you want to optimize, then go manually... root with 15G is more than enough in most cases. | 11:51 |
| Andrio | well, my PC has a SSD and a HDD, so the home partition is on a different drive altogether | 11:51 |
| xubuntu43d | I have 1TB HDD | 11:52 |
| xubuntu43d | when i was trying to install i couldn't see swap area option. | 11:53 |
| Andrio | Format it as linux-swap | 11:55 |
| xubuntu43d | You mean i have to write it as linux-swap in place of "/" or "/home" | 11:57 |
| Andrio | That's not the format; that's the mount point. | 11:57 |
| xubuntu43d | where is format | 12:00 |
| caldarella | ☝ * Hi guys I have update recently xubuntu, and my partition ntfs for the data have a padlock, the folder permission is: Permissions: drwxr-x--- 750 '/media/myuser' while the files inside folder are Permissions: -rwxrwxrwx 777. The files inside can be copied but not deleted! Why? | 14:00 |
| gnrp | caldarella: I guess it is opened read-only | 14:02 |
| gnrp | the permissions are set when you mount the file system | 14:02 |
| caldarella | gnrp the partition is mounting automatically after double clicking the icon on the desktop | 14:05 |
| caldarella | before everything was ok | 14:05 |
| brainwash | before? | 14:05 |
| brainwash | is the changed behavior due to updating to a newer xubuntu release? if yes, from to? | 14:07 |
| caldarella | brainwash yes, before the latest xubuntu updates | 14:07 |
| brainwash | 18.04? | 14:07 |
| caldarella | can it be due to some anomalous behavior of windows 10 since the partition is in ntfs and is also shared with windows? | 14:08 |
| caldarella | brainwash 18.10 | 14:09 |
| caldarella | the output of this command: grep "[[:space:]]ro[[:space:],]" /proc/mounts | 14:11 |
| caldarella | "/dev/sda4 /media/myuser/Documents fuseblk ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0" | 14:12 |
| xubuntu23w | hello guys, I installed xubuntu on my system along with windows 10 but i am getting no options to choose xubuntu or windows. I am directly logging in to windows also the partition on which i installed xubuntu is being shown as free space. | 14:55 |
| brainwash | xubuntu23w: shown as free where? | 14:56 |
| xubuntu23w | winows disk manager and easeus partition manager | 14:57 |
| brainwash | windows one is not able to read the filesystem I'd think | 14:58 |
| xubuntu23w | but i can't even boot xubuntu | 14:58 |
| Dragon64 | @xubuntu23w Does your Bios have an option to select the partition to boot to? Many have a boot list if you enable the option | 14:59 |
| brainwash | you could boot the xubuntu ISO again, and use the live session to check if the installed files are present | 14:59 |
| xubuntu23w | when i am booting to live version and files are present here | 14:59 |
| brainwash | it's only one hdd/ssd, right? | 14:59 |
| brainwash | !grub | 15:00 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 15:00 |

| xubuntu56w | Hello, just trying xubuntu in Virtualbox on Windows10, I downloaded appimage of kdenlive, at Xubuntu downloads folder I gave appimage permission to execute, but it will not run, terminal says "error while loading shared libraies: libxcb-keysyms.so.1:cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory""...any ideas, thanks | 23:27 |
| Spass | hello xubuntu56w, maybe try to install (or reinstall if already present) package named "libxcb-keysyms1" | 23:30 |
| Spass | is your Xubuntu 64-bit? | 23:32 |
| Spass | you could also try the Flatpak version | 23:33 |
| xubuntu56w | thanks for the ideas, yes 64bit, trying Linux for first time today, Xubuntu, so I don't know yet how to install packages | 23:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | !repos | 23:34 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 23:34 |
| Spass | xubuntu56w, in terminal run "sudo apt install libxcb-keysyms1" | 23:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | !package | 23:35 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Muon, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 23:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | !Synaptic | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Synaptic is a graphical utility which can install and remove software packages (.deb). For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 23:35 |
| Spass | if already installed try "sudo apt install --reinstall libxcb-keysyms1" | 23:35 |
| xubuntu56w | okay will try that sudo, perhaps do it from terminal while at Home | 23:37 |
| Spass | also, kdenlive is in the official repositories in 18.10 cosmic | 23:39 |
| Spass | well, in all of them actually :) | 23:39 |
| Spass | so "sudo apt install kdenlive" or use some graphical package manager | 23:40 |
| xubuntu56w | did sudo apt instal libxcb-ksysyms1 and got this "E; dpkg was interrupted, you must manuall run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem | 23:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | so run that fi | 23:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | so run that fix | 23:45 |
| xubuntu56w | not sure the exact way to run that fix | 23:46 |
| xubuntu56w | kdenlive appimage is at refactored 19, so I want that not the versions 18, thanks | 23:47 |
| xubuntu56w | I guess I need to spend some time learning some Linux Xubuntu skills, I thought I could just Vitualbox, Xubuntu, kdenlive appimage, doubleclick and run the appimage, but I'm running into some difficulties | 23:49 |
| well_laid_lawn | always use the official packages first xubuntu56w | 23:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | !kdenlive | 23:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info kdenlive | 23:54 |
| ubottu | kdenlive (source: kdenlive): non-linear video editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1 (bionic), package size 2015 kB, installed size 8050 kB | 23:54 |
| well_laid_lawn | so you need to run sudo dpkg --configure -a first | 23:55 |
| xubuntu75w | back again about the how to run appimages questions, I lost the connection so all those nice references vanished, but thanks for the ideas pointing me to some good resources | 23:59 |
