[00:52] hello [00:52] The upgrade to ubuntu 19.04 changed the height of my whisker menu button. Is there a way to adjust this? [01:03] And: is there a specific place to report minor introduced bugs (that weren't there in 18.10, but were introduced in 19.04)? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [04:27] Any chance that 19.10 will make it so xubuntu will start up properly while my VGA monitor is plugged in? I just get a blank screen. [04:40] ntnsndr[m], I don't know, but i suspect your issue is related to a hardware quirk and thus machine specific. The number of combinations of hardware we have is astronical, but being open-source we can peek-inside & adjust things to make it work perfectly for our own use cases [17:08] after upgrading to 16.04 (trying to get to 18.04) my desktop boots into xfce however when I click on file manager it returnes me with my old background and the whole desktop acts like unity or kind of a xfce-unity cross. anyone know how to fix this? [17:50] Mark88, just a suggestion - maybe it's better to upgrade to 18.04 first and then try to solve all problems? did you use Unity before? maybe some Unity applications are in the session, you can try to delete unity related packages if you have installed any [18:16] no I was using xfce and it installed unity when I upgraded, now it will not let me upgrade to 18.04, it tells me it's there asks me if I want to, however it does nothing when I try. I'm not savy enough to upgrade from the command line. [18:26] well, you can use GUI Synaptic Package Manager ("sudo apt-get install synaptic" if you don't have it) and search for "unity" packages, try to remove them [18:29] and about the CLI upgrade, you can try "sudo apt update", "sudo apt full-upgrade" and then "sudo do-release-upgrade" and see if there are any errors displayed [18:32] ok I'll try that...I think an upgrade might fix this...maybe lol [18:35] it also might make it even worse :) good luck [19:39] Good evening. I'm sorry to report a problem that I have using Xubuntu on my laptop. Almost every time that I play YouTube videos, and very occasionally just while casually browsing the internet the system will hang. It has unfortunately become a feature of my experience on this laptop. I'm using 19.04 and the laptop is a ThinkPad T450. [19:41] Also, when my laptop sleeps the resumes I'm not presented with the display manager to login. I get around it by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1 then Alt + F7. It's a workaround, but I think there's an issue here too. I'm not sure whether they are related. [19:42] Fortunately, I have another T450 in my house running Xub 18.04. It manifests neither of these issues. [19:42] I'd welcome any help or suggestions. Thanks in advance. [19:59] hello thran, it also could be a hardware issue, like RAM or disk, and about that resume from sleep, my guess is that the "light-locker" is the culprit here [19:59] do you have lock screen enabled in the "xfce4-power-manager-settings"? [20:00] my solution on my laptop was replacing light-locker with gnome-screensaver, but some people prefer xscreensaver instead [20:04] Spass, my power manager settings screen has Lock Screen enabled for when the laptop lid is both plugged in and on battery [20:06] yeah, so if you want to keep that function (screen locking) you should probably do the same as I did, remove light-locker and install something else [20:06] or wait for 19.10 with xfce4-screensaver by default, instead of light-locker [20:07] I'd be only too happy to install xscreensaver and get back the charming old screensavers! I'll try that while I wait for 19.10, thanks. [20:08] Is there any way I could investigate the hanging issue, such as some logs I could check? [20:11] you can check your /var/crash folder to see which apps caused some problems lately, and probably look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/syslog and ~/.xsession-errors files [20:12] ThinkPads should also have some built-in diagnostic tools in the BIOS, to check the memory for example [20:35] Spass, I'll try those and see what they tell me.
