[00:05] <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?

[10:03] <xubuntu18d> how to asign swap area while installing xubuntu 18.04.2
[10:19] <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.
[10:20] <xubuntu18d> ok
[10:20] <xubuntu18d> i am installing xubuntu 18.04.2 but not getting swap area option
[10:21] <xubuntu18d> how to asign swap area?
[10:22] <ducasse> swap should be set up automatically by the installer
[10:24] <diogenes_> ducasse, since when it's set up automatically?
[10:24] <ondondil> Since 17.04 ubuntu uses swap file by default
[10:25] <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
[10:31] <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
[10:32] <diogenes_> ondondil, but is that even correct? what if i want more or less or even no swap at all?
[10:35] <ducasse> it's easy to make the swapfile smaller or larger, or just remove it
[10:36] <diogenes_> ducasse, is there a tool for that or an unexperienced user will have to tweaking the fstab and stuff?
[10:37] <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.
[11:41] <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?
[11:44] <Andrio> Is either operating system already installed?
[11:45] <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
[11:46] <Andrio> Then you can create the partition, do not format it and format it using the Xubuntu installer
[11:47] <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
[11:48] <Andrio> How big's your drive?
[11:49] <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
[11:50] <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.
[11:51] <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
[11:52] <xubuntu43d> I have 1TB HDD
[11:53] <xubuntu43d> when i was trying to install i couldn't see swap area option.
[11:55] <Andrio> Format it as linux-swap
[11:57] <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.
[12:00] <xubuntu43d> where is format
[14:00] <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?
[14:02] <gnrp> caldarella: I guess it is opened read-only
[14:02] <gnrp> the permissions are set when you mount the file system
[14:05] <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?
[14:07] <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?
[14:08] <caldarella> can it be due to some anomalous behavior of windows 10 since the partition is in ntfs and is also shared with windows?
[14:09] <caldarella> brainwash 18.10
[14:11] <caldarella> the output of this command: grep "[[:space:]]ro[[:space:],]" /proc/mounts
[14:12] <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"
[14:55] <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.
[14:56] <brainwash> xubuntu23w: shown as free where?
[14:57] <xubuntu23w> winows disk manager and easeus partition manager
[14:58] <brainwash> windows one is not able to read the filesystem I'd think
[14:58] <xubuntu23w> but i can't even boot xubuntu
[14:59] <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?
[15:00] <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

[23:27] <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
[23:30] <Spass> hello xubuntu56w, maybe try to install (or reinstall if already present) package named "libxcb-keysyms1"
[23:32] <Spass> is your Xubuntu 64-bit?
[23:33] <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
[23:34] <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"
[23:35] <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"
[23:37] <xubuntu56w> okay will try that sudo, perhaps do it from terminal while at Home
[23:39] <Spass> also, kdenlive is in the official repositories in 18.10 cosmic
[23:39] <Spass> well, in all of them actually :)
[23:40] <Spass> so "sudo apt install kdenlive" or use some graphical package manager
[23:43] <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
[23:45] <well_laid_lawn> so run that fi
[23:45] <well_laid_lawn> so run that fix
[23:46] <xubuntu56w> not sure the exact way to run that fix
[23:47] <xubuntu56w> kdenlive appimage is at refactored 19, so I want that not the versions 18, thanks
[23:49] <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
[23:53] <well_laid_lawn> always use the official packages first xubuntu56w
[23:53] <well_laid_lawn> !kdenlive
[23:54] <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
[23:55] <well_laid_lawn> so you need to run   sudo dpkg --configure -a    first
[23:59] <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
