pjotterHi everyone.12:25
gnrphi12:26
pjotterI have set up a dual boot with Xubuntu 16.04 and 18.0412:26
pjotterStrange thing is... I can only edit and change grub from 18.04. When I try the saem via 16.04 it has no effect on grub.12:27
gnrphow do you do this "edit and change grub"?12:27
pjotterIs this normal behaviour? I use grub-customizer to edit grub here.12:27
gnrpI don't know grub-customizer, but I can well imagine that 16.04 is editing some configuration that the actual grub, installed by 18.04, does not care about12:28
pjotterYou mean that maybe 18.04 uses a newer grub version or something?12:29
pjotterMaybe it's just a little glitch. I might try to reinstall the whole thing and see if the problem remains.12:30
pjotterThere isn't some special I should do in order to create a dual boot, is there? Just install 16.04 from a live USB, and then do the same for 18.04, right?12:31
gnrpI don't think a reinstallation would help12:31
gnrpI don't know grub-customizer, but can't you set the configuration that shall be edited in there?12:31
pjotterWell, there other problems aswell, so I really need to reinstall the whole thing.12:31
pjotterAh, bingo! :p12:33
pjotterYes, you can switch partitions. :D12:33
pjotterThanks for thinking along here. I think this solved it12:33
gnrpgood :)12:34
pjotterI'm having a lot of trouble with an nvida videocard. It seems the standard xorg driver is not working properly for that card. But that's someting I'll look into when I reinstall the whole thing again.12:35
gnrpdepends on the card. The proprietary nvidia driver is a bit of a pain, but usually works fine12:53

veegeehello all. I've just installed Xubuntu 16.04  and am facing a problem with keyboard shortcuts. I use F12 in qt creator for a particular function but even after disabling the system shortcut (meant to switch to workspace 12) I can't get xubuntu to pass the F12 keystroke to any application23:44
veegeeAny help is appreciated23:44
veegeeOther shortcuts work. E.g. F3 does get passed on to the application. It was assigned to the system function "Switch to workspace 3"23:45
