[14:21] <data4pass> Hello, I'm using Xubuntu 18.04.2 LTS on my Lenovo G400 laptop. I had no problems using the laptop before, but this problem came quite suddenly. Most of the times when I run `sudo apt update` it will get stuck at `0% [Connecting]` somewhere in the middle, the command will then end with `connection timed out`. Here is the paste of me trying the comma
[14:21] <data4pass> nd three times: https://pastebin.com/b5q498yH
[14:21] <data4pass> Once in a while the update will run with no problems, but most of the times I will encounter an error such as what has been explained above, to the point that it's getting very annoying. I don't think I have problems with my connection as I can connect to the internet (including to the launchpad ppa, where the update will most often fail) just fine
[14:21] <data4pass> . I have tried disabling IPv6 (majority of the answers I found in StackOverflow suggested doing this) but the error still appears. Would love if someone here can help, thanks!
[14:23] <brainwash> data4pass: you should head over to #launchpad
[14:28] <M_aD> best to disable that ppa for now until the issue is solved
[14:29] <M_aD> or better, disable all the ppa's for now
[14:32] <data4pass> I see, my concern is that the problem is that the problem lies on my end and not Launchpad, since it seems like I'm the only one encountering this problem
[14:43] <brainwash> data4pass: if you really don't want to ask the experts, try to debug this problem step by step
[14:44] <brainwash> disable all PPAs except for only one
[14:44] <brainwash> test again
[14:55] <data4pass> brainwash Okay, I tried disabling some PPAs, `sudo apt update` now runs successfully.
[14:56] <brainwash> likely something to do with too many requests during a short time frame
[14:56] <brainwash> hence the timeout
[14:58] <data4pass> I see, so I have to keep my list of PPAs low then, at least with the  ISP I'm using?
[14:59] <brainwash> looks like it
[15:00] <brainwash> if you want a proper solution, contact the launchpad devs
[15:01] <data4pass> Thank you
[15:05] <brainwash> you're welcome
[15:37] <nokiomanz> Hi all, I have xubuntu18.04 connected to my 4k TV. I set my desktop to 1080p resolution. When I close the TV and come back hours later or on the next day. The desktop changed to 4k resoltion. How can I make it stick to 1080p? It keep changing to 4k
[15:43] <brainwash> nokiomanz: my suggestion would be to test with the the latest Xfce version
[15:44] <nokiomanz> meaning maybe reinstalling as xubuntu19.04 instead of 18.04. Is that correct? I am running 18.04 only because it is what was available when I did the install.
[15:44] <diogenes_> nokiomanz, maybe you create a launcher with: Exec=xrand --size 1920x1080
[15:45] <brainwash> you can download the 19.04 or 19.10 dev ISO, and boot into live mode
[15:45] <nokiomanz> diogenes_, A launcher is what I did and the kid find it easy to switch back. It just try to understand why it does that and have not foung anything so far :p
[15:46] <nokiomanz> brainwash, true. I will try a xubuntu18.04 first and confirm I can reproduce via a live usb. If that is the case, I could try the same thing under 19.04
[15:47] <brainwash> monitor handling has improved/changed in the newest version of xfce4-settings
[15:47] <brainwash> please do
[15:47] <nokiomanz> brainwash, I like the idead. I will do that tonight! Thanks a lot for your time !
[16:30] <xubuntu33w> When I adjust the sound level on the screen, the lighting box pops up many times and I cannot believe that after all the years you have not yet fixed this in the latest version.
[16:30] <xubuntu33w> *light level
[16:31] <brainwash> xubuntu33w: can you link the bug report?
[16:33] <xubuntu33w> how do i do that ?
[16:34] <brainwash> you share the URL
[16:37] <xubuntu33w> I dont have any URL.
[16:37] <xubuntu33w> I only testet it.
[16:37] <brainwash> >after all the years you have not yet fixed this in the latest version
[16:38] <brainwash> fixing a bug usually requires a bug report to exist
[16:42] <qwebirc29433> hello, I'm really strugling to install xubuntu on my oracle vm
[16:42] <qwebirc29433> is this the right place to ask for a kind hand
[16:42] <xubuntu33w> I know it is reported, but i don't find it anymore.
[16:43] <brainwash> qwebirc29433: oracle vm means virtual box?
[16:43] <qwebirc29433> yes, sorry
[16:45] <brainwash> this may be the right place, or #ubuntu if it is not xubuntu specific
[16:45] <brainwash> and there is #vbox also
[16:45] <brainwash> really depends on your problem
[16:46] <brainwash> ideally, share the error message that you encounter

[16:52] <brainwash> no idea about that
[16:53] <brainwash> it does look like something which the people in #vbox should be able to help you with
[16:54] <qwebirc29433> it seemed to be a problem with the avast web browser set as default on host, I uninstalled it, and then it gave an error message with microsoft edge
[16:54] <qwebirc29433> that's all I know, but don't really know where to go from there
[16:54] <brainwash> odd for sure
