[02:10] I upgrade using the 'Software Updater' [02:12] Gusj: see /etc/os-release does this say xubuntu? [02:13] i think lsb_release always says Ubuntu for all flavors since it's about the foundation / base that is common to all flavors [02:13] tomreyn: Hi Tom :) one of the lines says this => VERSION="19.04 (Disco Dingo)" on other lines it mentions Ubuntu never Xubuntu [02:14] Gusj: ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP '. [02:14] and when you run cat /var/log/installer/media-info what does it say? [02:14] Bashing-om: I get ablank line after running that [02:15] i have xubuntu 18.04 and i need to delete the tar.xz extract file? [02:15] tomreyn: Ok now yes Tom, ===> Xubuntu 18.04.3 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20190805) [02:16] Gusj: well that's just what you installed with. is the xubuntu-desktop package installed? [02:16] Gusj: Huh ? I get - sysop@x1804mini:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP >> xubuntu XFCE - [02:16] xubuntu6w: "the tar.xz extract file"? which one? [02:16] echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP [02:16] ubuntu ubuntu:GNOME [02:16] ...is what i get, i think Gusj may have run it with the single quotes [02:17] tomreyn: I am not sure, I installed originally the Xubuntu 18.04 LTS from liveusb and now I upgraded through Software Updater to 19.04 to get to 19.10 [02:17] i have xubuntu 18.04 and i need to delete the tar.xz extract file how can i delete these file [02:18] xubuntu6w: the "rm" command can delete files [02:18] Bashing-om: I ran it without single quotes and got an empty line [02:18] you mean type rm in the commad [02:19] Gusj: what's the output for: apt list xubuntu-desktop [02:19] xubuntu6w: i can't provide more details since your questions are unclear [02:20] Gusj: Is there A GUI active at this time ? [02:20] xubuntu6w: maybe you can provide more contextual information [02:22] Bashing-om: yes the xfce session [02:22] tomreyn: xubuntu-desktop/eoan 2.231 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.228] + xubuntu-desktop/eoan 2.231 i386 [02:23] Gusj: so your upgrade isn't actually done [02:23] i donwload tar.xz file and extract in the desktop but unfortunate i cant remove those files because it shows me lock sign [02:24] tomreyn: I am upgrading right now to 19.10 inorder to get the xfce 4.14 which I was told has Color managing integrated, needed to change Color Profile in 18,04 and displaycal would not work, I was not able to get it to work [02:24] Gusj: oh wait you said you upgraded to 19.04 from 18.04. but why is it shoing you the 19.10 version? [02:24] ah, good info to have [02:25] xubuntu6w: select all file on desktop, right click on, select properties, then make sure it's writable [02:26] xubuntu6w: all the files with a lock sign, that is [02:26] i'm not 100% sure it works like this on xubuntu, but it may [02:27] i try it but it is not working [02:29] xubuntu6w: try this instead: open a terminal window, type: chmod -R +r ~/Desktop/ mkae sure you make no typos there [02:29] (you can copy + paste) [02:31] tomreyn: Right now it is in the 'installing upgrade' stage of the updater's GUI [02:32] that's cool with me [02:34] so the output of 'apt list xubuntu-desktop' xubuntu-desktop/eoan 2.231 amd64 [upgradable from: 2.228] xubuntu-desktop/eoan 2.231 i386 confirms that I have xubuntu? [02:34] j [02:35] hi can please retype [02:36] xubuntu6w60: open a terminal window, type: chmod -R +r ~/Desktop/ make sure you make no typos there [02:38] it says Operation not permitted [02:42] xubuntu6w60: hmm i guess you unpacked the files using sudo then? [02:45] what do i type [02:48] sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/ # again, no typos please [03:07] tomreyn: Tom, after it has finished upgrading to 19.10, do I have to erase the previous versions, leftovers? I know the Software Updater says it does it, but is there a manual step that I must take? [03:09] Gusj: it should have cleaned things up already. unless anything is not working which should be working, it'll be fine. [03:10] tomreyn: Ok thank you, looking forward to being able to change Color Profiles and explore the new version, really liking Xubuntu [03:11] :) you're welcome. ttyl. [03:26] Bashing-om: Now I got the output of the ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP as Xubuntu Xfce :) [03:27] tomreyn: This happened incase it happens to someone else, when I restarted after the upgrade was over and it asks you to restart, that first restart did not have wifi, it was active, turned on the laptop, as I could see it in black and not in gray, btu would not connect to my wifi, then I rebooted again and it connects automatically [03:28] tomreyn: happene dboth times, from 18.04 lTS to 19.04 and to 19.10 [03:31] Gusj: :D confirms then that your install is (x)ubuntu. [03:43] Bashing-om: Yes thank you :) saved that comm and Toms [03:47] Gusj: And confirms too that I have not completely lost my sanity :P [03:51] Bashing-om: Ahh haha [03:53] Just went to 'Color Profiles' in settings to calibrate, but after I start calibrating it asks me to plug in hardware in order to calibrate. I have some hardware for this just not right now at hand, so it does not let me continue calibrating [05:00] hey hey, I'm having an issue where my headphone jack isn't working. nothing's being recognized through it [05:00] it's been like this for a few releases [05:01] I'm on a Thinkpad E480 [05:07] GlaceonBM, maybe it's broken? [05:09] No, cause it works fine on the Windows partition. I'm dualbooting linux and windows. [05:11] GlaceonBM, have u tried to switch the output manually in pavucontrol? [05:13] I believe I tried that in the past, but I can check it again. How would I go about doing that? [05:14] in menu type pavucontrol [05:15] Yeah, the only output device available is Speakers. It doesn't recognize the jack at all. [05:17] GlaceonBM, i'd also recommend asking in #pulseaudio. [05:17] Okay, thanks! [05:17] np [06:50] hi are you human/ [06:50] ? [06:51] ? [06:51] well anyone can suggest me which one is good ? [06:51] Negative we are meat popsicles [06:51] ubuntu or xubuntu? [06:52] xubuntu ofc. [06:52] for i3 laptop [06:52] it is all about your preference and what not. xubuntu using a different gui that people here tend to like better [06:53] have i3 2348m with 3gb ddr3 [06:54] dualboot with win7? [06:54] get the 32 bit version if that is still a thing [06:55] well it can support win7 64bit [06:55] 64bit is recommended. [06:55] so xubuntu is better/ [06:55] ? [06:55] it doesn't have enough ram to need 64bit [06:56] well someone told me that 2gb+ ram is needed [06:56] Right but i386 is being deprecated in Ubuntu. [06:57] 3gb is ok for 64bit. [06:57] thanks [06:58] will work in dualboot with win 7? [06:58] yes [09:05] hi [09:06] well 19.10 desktop version work on laptops? [09:08] xubuntu37w, of course. [09:09] while installing will it erase any data? [09:11] xubuntu37w, dependin if you know what you're doing. [09:11] lol [12:00] well i what is the latest version of xubuntu to usa? [12:01] use* [12:04] hellow [12:04] is anyone here? [12:06] hi there [12:07] anyone here? [12:09] xubuntu 18.04 or 19.10? [12:10] hi anyone here? [12:12] Patience my friends [12:12] Use whatever version you feel like [12:13] well actually im not familier with ubuntu trying it for first time [12:13] i have downloaded an iso of xubuntu 19.10 which is about 1.53GiB [12:14] 18.04 is long term support release, has support for 3 years. 19.10 is regular release supported for 9 months [12:14] so shuld i go for 18.04 or 19.10? [12:16] is 19.10 is beta or stable version? [12:19] hi [12:20] Hi, how do I force desktop icons on 19.04 to appear on primary monitor [12:21] I added external monitor to the laptop and both panel and desktop moved to external monitor , I want them on primary, laptop monitor [12:21] which one is more user friendly 18.04 or 19.10? [12:22] I think it's mostly same stuff since 2006 if you ask me :) but, yes, newer is more reasonable to report bugs in order to make it better [12:22] well i have both iso [12:22] which one should i install? [12:23] We don't know [12:23] Asking the same question twelve times doesn't help [12:23] Take it slow [12:23] Ask one question at a time [12:23] Wait for an answer [12:24] if you are running server and want to be stable and with old packages, and will to update only when next LTS comes, choose LTS, 18.04 [12:24] If want to use newer stable apps, still supported and able for your reports to count and as well to keep user experience not outdated, choose newest [12:24] 18.04 and 19.10 are very similar. 18.04 is a long term support release, so if you are doing something critical, 18.04 is a good choice. 19.10 is the most recent stable release, so if you want the latest nice features then get that one. [12:25] Whnever I enable external monitor, desktop icons migrate to it, how do I keep them on primary monitor and stil use external monitor? [12:27] well i am just installing the ubuntu to improve my game performance [12:29] then definitely newest [12:30] and also it pushes to even newer parts then usually, for games. [12:30] then newest [12:37] will i still be able to run apps after installing xbuntu ? [12:37] win apps? [12:53] I figured it, it simply does not care what monitor is primary, but which one is on the left side. [12:54] one on the left side gets panel, desktop and app windows [12:55] Which version are you on nikolam ? [13:00] 19.04 henrebotha[m] . But I will soon migrate to 19.10 [13:00] they say xfdesktop got support for setting it to open on primary display. [13:00] Will see how it goes for windows manager [13:00] Apparently 19.10 (with Xfce 4.14) has a lot of improvements to display settings, maybe it will be better about fixing monitor layout stuff [13:01] henrebotha[m], yes, I'll see how it is after update now. [16:02] Since upgrading to 19.10, when coming back from a lid shut + suspend, the desktop is showing for a moment before going to the lock screen. Is this a known bug? I've removed xfce4-screensaver as it seemingly got installed during the upgrade and was messing up other things. [16:03] Or, if not installed it got settings changed dramatically. === tmager1 is now known as tmager [16:52] Loeb: so, you see this problem with the previous locker (light-locker)? [16:53] Not actually sure which locker is being used [16:54] I hadn't manually changed anything from bionic to eoan [16:55] just did `apt upgrade` and let the devs take the wheel [17:00] then it should still be light-locker [17:01] maybe there's a new report for this type of issue [17:05] only found a report for xfce4-screensaver though [17:05] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15929 [17:05] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 15929 in General "on 'suspend' : locking only occurs after resume, desktop is visible (with workaround)" [Normal,New] [17:26] @brainwash I think the "suspend happening before screen can be locked" scenario checks out. The posted workaround didn't work but I don't have time to super dig into it at the moment [17:26] But it sounds like that's where I should start === kadiro_ is now known as kadiro [22:42] Hello, today i got the same problem twice in Xubuntu 18.04. I uninstalled the e-mail client and notes in gnome-software and after i did it, the emulator was uninstalled too and the keyboard alt+esc stopped works. so i just reinstall all xubuntu and did the same uninstalling notes and e-mail cliente in software-gnome and again i lost emulator [22:42] and the keyboard shortcut to menu whiskers... [22:42] just installed again the xubuntu now i will not uninstall the mail client and notes... [22:44] in the first time i lost thunar too.... oO weird things happens when i use that new ubuntu software center [22:46] use apt or synaptic to carry out your changes, then, if you actually read the output, you will know in advance which impact they will have. [22:47] tomreyn: i always liked the synaptic.. i will do it [22:47] if you're moving software that's part of the graphical desktop, and the graphical desktop metapackage gets removed as a result of your changes, this can also cause other packages to be removed [22:47] *REmoving [22:48] i see.. probably when i deleted the email client i got some changes in the menu whisker, panel and other places [22:49] tomreyn but the gimp is better in software ubuntu.. all menu are in the same window [22:49] i do not like that old style.. and the old style is installed in synaptic or apt [22:50] i don't see how your preferences for GUIs relate to package management [22:51] maybe the version of synaptic is not the same of the software center, but its ok.. now everything is ok [22:51] ^ ^ [22:57] you shouldn't uninstall the email client [22:57] actually, the email client launcher [22:59] bug 1783764 [22:59] bug 1783764 in Exo "Deleting "Mail Reader" crashes the computer" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1783764 [23:10] brainwash really? i did not know that.... thanks for advice [23:11] i just thought the email client was kinda a icon in panel and a item in menu [23:11] yes, it is a launcher [23:12] oh... now i know why i had some problems with alt+esc [23:12] but the launcher is provided by an important Xfce library [23:12] they should name it with other name [23:12] this was fixed in newer Xubuntu releases already [23:13] the entry for email client does not appear in the software center anymore [23:13] same for web browser [23:14] i see... but the notes... can i remove? [23:14] I think so [23:14] better not.. tired of reinstall xubuntu today [23:15] you can remove it via terminal: sudo apt remove xfce4-notes [23:15] brainwash thank you for the explanation [23:15] brainwash i like this.. indicator-stickynotes looks better [23:15] removing a package via terminal will tell you what other packages will be removed also [23:16] right... its better to use the terminal so [23:16] xterm i guess [23:16] Xfce has xfce4-terminal [23:17] xubuntu is great, surprised how it works lightweght and fine [23:17] You could also use synaptic, which will also say what else will be removed. [23:17] Unit193 yes, good idea too... [23:18] just wondering to do not use the software center [23:18] after a update i can't find the games section in software center... but i'ts ok.. now i will use apt and synaptic
