[09:16] <thaurwylth> Hey, what is the Xubuntu Quality Assurance Tracker?
[09:16] <Unit193> You mean, iso.qa.ubuntu.com?
[09:18] <thaurwylth> Probably! So, what happens there?
[09:18] <thaurwylth> (I already checked the front page.)
[09:26] <Unit193> People test isos, report results.
[09:28] <Unit193> If people don't test the ISOs, there's no way to know for sure they'll work on the majority of computers.
[09:29] <thaurwylth> http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/404/builds     <~~~~~ Does each thread correspond to a single test case?
[12:30] <Mathom> Hello! :)  I installed Xubuntu on my new laptop, but when I type the free command, I only see 6Gb of ram instead of the 8Gb I have. Could anyone help me with this please?
[13:04] <tomreyn> Mathom: see the "available" (not "free") column reported by   free -h
[13:04] <tomreyn> also https://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[13:05] <Mathom>               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   availableMem:           5,8G        1,1G        119M         58M        4,6G        4,4G
[13:05] <tomreyn> !paste | Mathom
[13:06] <Mathom> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/XB8yjnckdg/
[13:07] <tomreyn> i see what you mean, though. maybe one of your memory modules was not usable? sudo dmidecode --type memory 2>&1 | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:09] <Mathom> https://termbin.com/hy8w
[13:09] <tomreyn> so you have a single DIMM with 8 GB memory (8192 MB)
[13:10] <tomreyn> please show   journalctl -kb | nc termbin.com 9999
[13:11] <Mathom> https://termbin.com/f0mo
[13:12] <tomreyn> you have plenty of acpi errors there. they may (though less likely) contribute to it, and are something you should generally try to solve. look for a newer bios upgrade
[13:13] <tomreyn> this is an ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. TUF Gaming FX505DU_FX505DU/FX505DU, BIOS FX505DU.304 05/02/2019
[13:13] <tomreyn> i'm continuing to look for something memory specific in the meantime
[13:14] <Mathom> Ok, thank you! I'll look for a bios update in the meantime then
[13:14] <tomreyn> linux really thinks that only slightly above 6 GB are available:   kernel: Memory: 5895856K/6221884K available (14339K kernel code, 2335K rwdata, 4316K rodata, 2584K init, 5196K bss, 326028K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)
[13:18] <Mathom> Looks like my bios version is 304. There is a version 306 release for my laptop, I'll try updating it
[13:18] <tomreyn> ok, i'm still reading.
[13:23] <tomreyn> so that's an AMD mobile platform (CPU) with AMD RAVEN APU and a separate nvidia GPU with Optimus switching
[13:23] <tomreyn> 2 GB of your RAM are dedicated to the APU
[13:27] <Mathom> So this is a correct behaviour then?
[13:28] <tomreyn> yes. but those acpi errors you should still tackle. if they persist after bios upgrade, try https://iam.tj/prototype/enhancements/Windows-acpi_osi.html
[13:30] <Mathom> how do I check after bios update, if I still have ACPI errors?
[13:31] <tomreyn> journalctl -kb | grep ACPI
[13:34] <tomreyn> so far you have "ACPI BIOS Error (bug):", "ACPI Error:", "ACPI Warning:"
[13:44] <Mathom> I updated the bios and followed the tutorial. After running the script, and restarting, I started seeing grub options (I haven't had that before), but when I select boot to ubuntu, I see a black screen. I tried to add nomodeset to that boot option from GRUB with editing.
[13:47] <Mathom> https://imgur.com/a/3Ebj7fb
[13:48] <Mathom> (this is without before trying nomodeset)
[13:52] <tomreyn> Mathom: so were there still acpi errors after you upgraded the bios?
[13:53] <Mathom> yes, whenever I restarted my computer, I saw new ACPI errors in journalctl. (If I haven't restarted, just checked in 2-3 mins after boot, no new messages arrived though)
[13:54] <tomreyn> does the system boot fine (not to black screen) if you remove the acpi_osi options?
[13:54] <Mathom> yes
[13:58] <tomreyn> hmm. about the black screen, you could remove "quiet" and replace "splash" by "nosplash" and add !bootlog
[13:58] <tomreyn> !bootlog
[13:58] <tomreyn> that should tell you what's going wrong at least.
[13:58] <tomreyn> you could also try adding amdgpu.dc=0 to counter the black screen.
[14:06] <Mathom> tomreyn I tried these (remove "quite", change to "nosplash", add "!bootlog" and "amdgpu.dc=0", while keeping the acpi_osi options), but I still get a black screen
[14:08] <Mathom> ubottu I tried to add "!kernelparm: debug systemd.log_level=info" I still get a black screen
[14:13] <Mathom> (funny thing, I have 8GB of total ram after bios update O.o)
[15:10] <thaurwylth> Does Xfce have a separate channel or is it the same as this one?
[15:15] <Andrio> There is a #xfce channel.
[16:44] <thaurwylth> OK!
[19:13] <Rcck2> hi
[19:13] <Rcck2> getting some problems installing samba from the software center, anyone know how to solve them? retunr errors on install
[19:13] <Rcck2> like 404 error, bad link
[19:14] <tomreyn> please post full terminal command and output to paste.ubuntu.com, then share the url
[19:15] <Rcck2> well i talk about the one click software center
[19:17] <Rcck2> how can i cancel an installation from the software centeer? i click on one and its taking forever, need to cancel it, cancel button does nothing, looks disabled
[19:27] <Rcck2> task manager on xubuntu looks highly unacurate, it says CPU on 100% and its not bcos fan is no longer blowing after kill process
[19:28] <Rcck2> either it shows very delayed data ot its just fully wonrg, i dont know
[19:33] <Bashing-om> Rcck2: Swap hammered ? what shows terminal command ' free -m ' ?
[19:35] <Rcck2> i dont know, i just shut it down, too much pain in the ass,
[19:42] <Rcck2> why they do it so complex always on linux? i mean, there is no way to try to use a system like the windows double click and "next next next" ? ready for idiots
[19:42] <Rcck2> and you are not limited to what appears or dont appears on the software manager
[19:42] <Rcck2> otherwise.... oh manual reading on hwo to isntall
[19:43] <Rcck2> how the hell a tar.gz must be isntalled? now you need to lose more time reading and trying commands
[20:16] <bluecurve> Trying to install the bluecurve icon set, but when I unzip the file containing all of the .ico files to /usr/share/icons the option to switch to the new icon set does not appear in the settings manager icon tab. What am I doing wrong?
[20:17] <bluecurve> I also tried creating a hidden .icons folder and unzipping it there in the home directory
[20:21] <bluecurve> is .ico the wrong file format for icon sets?
