[05:21] <xrandr_laptop> you guys are rather quiet lol
[05:24] <diogenes_> because we have "quiet splash" boot parameters.
[06:00] <Regor> :)
[11:45] <xubuntu90w> hello
[11:45] <diogenes_> hello
[11:45] <xubuntu90w> im new here
[11:45] <xubuntu90w> hello diogenes_
[11:45] <diogenes_> !welcome
[11:45] <xubuntu90w> i have a question
[11:45] <diogenes_> !ask
[11:46] <xubuntu90w> does anyone knows what snap apps are buit-in on xubuntu 18.04?
[11:47] <diogenes_> xubuntu90w, in a terminal run: snap list
[11:47] <diogenes_> and that will show you the list of installed snap packages.
[11:47] <xubuntu90w> thx diogenes but the problem is that i removed snapd
[11:47] <xubuntu90w> following instructions on internet
[11:48] <xubuntu90w> and i dont know is having deleted snap dir could be bad for the system
[11:48] <diogenes_> then run this one: ls /snap
[11:49] <sublevel> I recently did a fresh install of 18.04 and  snap list   has one result:  core
[11:49] <diogenes_> also this one: ls /var/lib/snapd
[11:49] <xubuntu90w> in other words... if i remove snapd and all the apps build-in.. must i install them again in the apt way?
[11:50] <diogenes_> xubuntu90w, of course, snaps and debs are different packages.
[11:53] <xubuntu90w> diogenes_ i have deleted snapd (so i dont have those dirs that you mention) but i would like to know if there were important apps there to restore them via apt-get
[11:53] <sublevel> I don't believe there are any snap apps installed by default
[11:54] <diogenes_> xubuntu90w, as sublevel said, there was nothing important there only the core package which is needed for snapd only.
[11:54] <xubuntu90w> sublevel read this https://munix.dk/remove-snap-ubuntu-1804
[11:55] <xubuntu90w> there he says that there are several snap apps from gnome
[11:55] <diogenes_> so far snap is safe to remove, what will be next is a mystery, if canonical decides to replace apt with snap, i personally don't see it as a good idea, they gonna lose a great part of their userbase.
[11:55] <sublevel> that's referring to Ubuntu,  not xubuntu
[11:57] <xubuntu90w> i agree with you diogenes_ snap could be interesting for very specific apps but not for replacing apt
[11:58] <xubuntu90w> you are right sublevel but i though it was the same case
[11:59] <xubuntu90w> i have another question Do you have had problems to make appear wine on whisker menu?
[12:01] <diogenes_> it was long time ago since i last installed wine on xubuntu but i guess there shouldn't be any issues with that, even if it doesn't appear in whisker menu you can still use it or create your own shortcuts just fine/
[12:01] <xubuntu90w> whisker dosent show folders with only folders in it . Need to have at least one item
[12:03] <xubuntu90w> diogenes_ i did that (my own shortcuts) because istalling wine from terminal (following instructions from winehq webpage) doesnt install icon on whisker
[12:15] <sublevel> xubuntu90w: the programs that come with Ubuntu and Xubuntu will differ in many cases,  e.g. from the list on the page you linked, Xubuntu uses mate-calc instead of gnome-calculator
[12:30] <xubuntu90w> sublevel i was searching a list of built-in apps on xubuntu 18.04 but i found only lists from ubuntu. Yes u r right xub18.04 have mate calc
[12:33] <xubuntu90w> Thank you diogenes_ and sublevel for helping me and greeting from Andalusia!
[12:33] <diogenes_> xubuntu90w, you're welcome.
[13:35] <xubuntu-user-x> i did a fresh install of xubuntu 19.04. but after locking screen, i can't see the lock screen. typing in the password works, though. how do i fix this?
[19:25] <xubuntu18w> Hi new to xubuntu and programming. wish to run a windows iso from usb to restore to windows 7.
[19:29] <gnrp> xubuntu18w: What do you mean with "run a windows iso"?
[19:29] <xubuntu18w> I wish to boot from usb to reinstall windows 7.
[19:31] <gnrp> you can do that with `dd`
[19:31] <xubuntu18w> when I enter the command line at boot or before I restart
[19:32] <gnrp> so you do `dd if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M`, where "windows7.iso" must be replaced by the name of your iso file and "/dev/sdX" must be replaced by the device
[19:32] <gnrp> you can check which device the USB drive is when you insert it and then run `dmesg`
[19:32] <gnrp> if you are unsure, do `dmesg` and upload the output of the last 30 lines or so somewhere
[19:32] <gnrp> or paste it to me in query
[19:42] <xubuntu0w> Hello can i get support pls ?
[19:45] <sublevel> !ask
[19:49] <xubuntu0w> Alright, so i've downloaded xubuntu 18.04, Bionic Beaver and mount it via usb, then whene i want to install it in my other pc, the installer is kinda malfunctioning, when the i press Install everything get stuck and a black screen popping some errors and then a kind of a desktop shows up but i can do nothing cause it's stuck, i can literally do
[19:49] <xubuntu0w> nothing beside that, what do i need to do?
[20:32] <xubuntu0w>  so anyone can help me get through this please ?
[20:34] <diogenes_> xubuntu0w, how did you write it to usb?
[20:35] <xubuntu0w> with rufus
[20:35] <diogenes_> does it work on a different pc?
[20:36] <xubuntu0w> i tried it only on one pc
[20:36] <diogenes_> do you have another pc where you can try it?
[20:36] <xubuntu0w> what you mean is that that pc could be the problem ?
[20:36] <xubuntu0w> i do have another yes
[20:38] <diogenes_> try it there and if it hangs then write the iso using this: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
[20:39] <diogenes_> it's better than rufus.
[20:40] <xubuntu0w> it actually working normally with the other one
[20:41] <xubuntu0w> idk why the first pc ain't working
[20:42] <diogenes_> what gpu and how old is the first one?
[20:43] <xubuntu0w> intel hd i think
[20:43] <xubuntu0w> and it's a 2015 pc
[20:45] <diogenes_> and can you screenshot the error?
[20:45] <xubuntu0w> give me a moment

[21:15] <xubuntu0w> look

[21:18] <xubuntu0w> another one
[21:41] <xubuntu0w> well actually i've solved the problem, when you get to the "Try Ubuntu" option, hit e and specify nomodeset on the GRUB_CMDLINE, and it should work for anyone encountering this problem.
