[00:28] <xubuntu11w> I need help with the installation of xubuntu onto the oracle vm virtual box
[00:29] <xubuntu11w> I cant download it once inside the vm and it automatically sends me to the try xubuntu
[00:29] <xubuntu11w> this leaves a download xubuntu 18.04 lts program on the desktop
[00:30] <xubuntu11w> and when I click on it, it automatically cloes
[00:30] <xubuntu11w> closes
[00:31] <xubuntu11w> also when I first open the VM an install Xubuntu screen loads up but I cant click anything on it, and then will push me automatically to what I assume to be the
[00:31] <xubuntu11w> "try xubuntu option"
[00:32] <xubuntu11w> I also get an error failed to send logs message when I first open the VM
[04:36] <bleb> how would i simulate a middle click on xubuntu?
[04:36] <bleb> i use it all the time but on this computer the mouse has no middle button
[04:37] <bleb> any other way to paste previously hilighted text into xterm?
[04:37] <jonzen> doesnt have a wheel that you can push down for middle click?
[04:39] <jonzen> xterm is a pain   use xfce terminal  the paste is in right click menu
[04:43] <bleb> jonzen: nope
[04:45] <jonzen> add a launcer to your panel   command    xfce4-terminal --drop-down     then xgce terminal will drop down  right click in it  pref   set it up
[04:45] <jonzen> then paste is in the right click menu
[05:10] <bleb> jonzen: thanks but i'd prefer to use my existing terminal settings (with xterm)
[05:10] <bleb> perhaps some other wm has a way to simulate a middle click
[05:12] <jonzen> okie
[07:26] <Spass[m]> bleb: Does Shift+Ctrl+V work in xterm?
[13:31] <xubuntu80w> hello, I have a problem, I have installed the updates after installing the system and when rebooting some stripes appear on the screen, how can I fix it?
[13:37] <diogenes_> xubuntu80w, but it boots ok?
[13:41] <xubuntu80w> start up, start up, but when it reaches the login screen the stripes appear
[13:43] <Spass[m]> hello xubuntu80w, what graphics card do you have? and if you know, what drivers?
[13:45] <xubuntu80w> My graphic card is a Nvidia Geforce2 MX/MX 400, and I have not installed drivers since the system was newly installed
[13:47] <xubuntu80w> when I had finished installing, it had started well, I installed some updates and when I restarted they appeared
[13:48] <tomreyn> maybe those updates switched you from nouveau to nvidia drivers. did you reboot after upgrading?
[13:48] <Spass[m]> hmm, so you should be on Nouveau, strange that it doesn't work, only possible solution that comes to my mind is trying to install proprietary driver, but that's a solution you may not want
[13:49] <xubuntu80w> for trying, I lose nothing
[13:50] <Spass[m]> I'm searching now what drivers are good for that old card
[13:51] <Spass[m]> (to be honest Nouveau seems the best)
[13:52] <xubuntu80w> and how can I reinstall or install it
[13:55] <Spass[m]> you can try with legacy 340 drivers, to install them go to text console (when you see that broken login screen) using Ctrl+Alt+F3, log in to your account, and use this command "sudo apt install nvidia-340"
[13:56] <Spass[m]> it should install and configure the driver, so reboot after that "sudo reboot"
[13:57] <Spass[m]> and if you see that nvidia-340 is already installed, I would try to remove it
[13:57] <Spass[m]> maybe it somehow got installed during the upgrade process and broke your configuration
[13:57] <xubuntu80w> is being installed, that means it is not installed
[13:58] <Spass[m]> ok, try to reboot now
[13:59] <Spass[m]> you may see black screen only, so that would mean those drivers are not good for your card, then you should remove it - Ctrl+Alt+F3, log in, and "sudo apt purge nvidia-340", restart
[14:00] <xubuntu80w> perfect, now it works, thank you very much
[14:02] <Spass[m]> great
[14:58] <tibyke> ever since I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 LTS I just can't use mcedit with my unprivileged user because it just somehow f*cks up keyboard/mouse input and totally randomly handles them, cant even type, starts saving constantly, or just opens the menu. any idea on that? what can be wrong?
[14:59] <tibyke> it keeps randomly pasting parts of *ancient* stuff from my clipboard
[15:12] <tomreyn> tibyke: i don't run xubuntu 18.04, so can't verify this, but this sounds like memory corruption. if you have a fast system, maybe setup a fresh 18.04.2 installation in a VM and see if it also happens there. and if so, file a bug. if not, then it rather points to something more local to your system, or upgrade related.
[15:13] <tomreyn> for a maybe simpler test you can also create a new user account and try as that, thus bypassing your existing users' configurations (in /home/$username/.config and / or /home/$username/.mc)
[15:14] <tibyke> tomreyn, but it works fine for any other user thats why I suspect something being fishy
[15:14] <tibyke> I already checked .config for that user but found nothing strange, but will retry, thanks!
[15:14] <tomreyn> you're welcome. check 'demsg', too, maybe there are memory access errors there.
[15:15] <tomreyn> * 'dmesg'
[15:33] <tibyke> nothing in dmesg
[15:33] <tibyke> I will add a brand new user
[15:35] <tibyke> its all fine with the new user
[15:35] <tibyke> I will review .config again
[15:37] <tomreyn> :-/ these things are hard to find

[22:28] <PoolShark_> hi all.. was there a recent update that broke bluetooth? All of my bluetooth suddenly stopped working
[22:29] <PoolShark_> was working fine when I went to bed last night and when I came home from work today, nothing works
[22:29] <PoolShark_> won't connect with any of my devices and trying to re-pair gives an authentication timeout
[23:01] <PoolShark_> well I tried everything... resetting all the bluetooth devices, powering down/rebooting everything... tested the adapter and devices on my laptop - all work fine.. I just don't understand why all things bluetooth would just stop working
[23:06] <tomreyn> PoolShark_: we neither, we don't even know which version of xubuntu you're running, or which updates (as listed in /var/log/apt/history.log( were installed exactly.
[23:07] <tomreyn> PoolShark_: i'll go to bed now, but to find assistence here (or in #ubuntu) be sure to provide such information.
