[00:03] <friendlyGoat> im not sure if this is the right place to ask but im having a weird issue with Grub. 1: grubs not showing a menu when i boot up xubuntu, it just goes straight to xubuntu. 2: grubs not showing up when i first turn on my computer. it just goes to windows and to get to xubuntu i have to hit F9 and click on it
[00:03] <friendlyGoat> i'd like to be shown a grub menu when first turning on my computer so i can choose between xubuntu or windows
[00:06] <pikapika> Same friendlyGoat
[00:06] <pikapika> except I only have xubuntu on this machine, no windows
[00:07] <Makerblaker> Did you install Xubuntu then Windows after?
[00:07] <Unit193> friendlyGoat: Hit 'Shift' right after the post screen, presuming grub is properly installed.
[00:07] <friendlyGoat> i installed windows then xubuntu after
[00:07] <Unit193> Also yeah if you installed Windows second, then it'll install to the MBR/UEFI and overwrite grub anyway.
[00:08] <pikapika> In my case, you can more or less consider I started from a blank slate
[00:08] <pikapika> But yes, same here
[00:08] <friendlyGoat> windows is on UEFI and xubuntu on my machine installed to legacy boot order for some reason
[00:08] <pikapika> Goes straight to xubuntu without any menu
[00:08] <pikapika> I mean
[00:08] <pikapika> Not that it matters much now, given that its the only os
[00:09] <pikapika> But still
[00:09] <Unit193> You might want to read up on GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE in info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'  too.
[00:09] <pikapika> I gotta be sure this is not an error with grub
[00:10] <friendlyGoat> im thinking of looking at my MBR file but im a little worried about ruining absolutely everything
[00:11] <friendlyGoat> i also saw some stuff about installing grub to EFI?
[00:11] <friendlyGoat> im not doing anything without properly reading up but its a bit nerveracking
[00:19] <friendlyGoat> gonna log back into here on my phone
[00:19] <pikapika> yeah no
[00:19] <pikapika> afaik
[00:20] <pikapika> if you've done as an mbr installation already then its best to let it be
[00:21] <friendlyGoat> back
[00:21] <pikapika> Bleatings
[00:22] <friendlyGoat> haha hi
[00:22] <pikapika> :D
[00:27] <pikapika> also
[00:28] <pikapika> Are thumbnails suddenly not working for anyone else?
[00:28] <pikapika> restarting tumblerd and thunar didn't help
[00:28] <pikapika> maybe I should reboot and see idk
[00:51] <friendlyGoat> part of me is wondering about fixing my grub problem but another part of me doesnt mind as much and just desires busy work
[00:51] <friendlyGoat> im a worker goat
[00:53] <friendlyGoat> my set up is kinda streamlined in a stupid way. i manually boot into xubuntu then i take advantage of windows booting by default by using the reboot command to turn off linux and smoothly go into windows when wine wont run something or a game i like isnt ported
[00:55] <pikapika> friendlyGoat, have you ever met a friendlyGogoat?
[00:58] <friendlyGoat> i havent raised one but i do like them
[01:00] <pikapika> ( #xubuntu-offtopic would be better for these kinds of talk)
[01:35] <pikapika> nope
[01:35] <pikapika> reboot didn't help either
[01:35] <pikapika> still no thumbnails
[21:02] <xubuntu02w> hello
[21:05] <xubuntu02w> I recently upgraded from Xubu16.04 to 18.04.  However the Numix theme leaves the Whisker Menu in what looks like the 'Greybird' theme.  I have seen others discussing this but not yet found a fix.  I can confirm the bug in both AMD64 and i386 versions.  Can anyone help me on this?
[21:08] <brainwash> xubuntu02w: got a screenshot?
[21:11] <xubuntu02w> Standby!
[21:14] <xubuntu02w> How do I upload the SS?
[21:14] <Spass> you can use https://imgbb.com/
[21:15] <xubuntu02w> https://ibb.co/Zx2Rv6z
[21:16] <xubuntu02w> Thanks @Spass
[21:17] <Spass> looks like Numix to me, I think that they changed to light styling of that menu some time ago
[21:18] <Spass> when you hover over a program in the menu, is the selection background orange?
[21:18] <xubuntu02w> Normally, the Numix theme would have the menu dark to match.  This changed happened with 18.04
[21:18] <xubuntu02w> yes
[21:18] <Spass> yes, because 18.04 probably has a newer numix theme version
[21:18] <Spass> well, if it's orange, it's Numix for sure
[21:19] <xubuntu02w> It is Numix as found in Xubu's Appearance Manager
[21:20] <Spass> yes, Numix GTK theme is in the official repositories, look here - https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=numix-gtk-theme&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[21:20] <xubuntu02w> I think it is a bug from things I have read.  Notice that the default user icon in the Whisker Menu is meant for a DARK theme...
[21:20] <Spass> as you can see, much newer version
[21:21] <Spass> so it's probably not a bug, it's just a change in the theme, so you can probably talk about it with the numix devs
[21:22] <brainwash> xubuntu02w: https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/issues/708
[21:22] <xubuntu02w> @brainwash thanks I already saw that...
[21:23] <brainwash> okay
[21:23] <brainwash> so, why you still ask here?
[21:24] <xubuntu02w> Well, because it seems to be a rough work-around at best.
[21:24] <xubuntu02w> I will go if you prefer.
[21:25] <brainwash> #708 and the linked #666 issue offer fixes
[21:25] <brainwash> you said that there are none
[21:25] <brainwash> gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
[21:25] <brainwash> this one is not what you want?
[21:27] <Spass> and your other option (although not a perfect one) is to get the older version from the DEB package from xenial, extract it and put into ~/.themes folder named "Numix-old" or something like that
[21:27] <Spass> but since it's old it may not look good on some apps, so I cannot recommend that solution
[21:28] <xubuntu02w> It seems like this is something that happened in the change to GTK 3
[21:28] <Spass> and it may still not work with new Whisker
[21:29] <Spass> so, solution(s) mentioned on GitHub is a way to go
[21:29] <xubuntu02w> Found this...  https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13646
[21:31] <xubuntu02w> Thanks for the help
