Noboru55diogenes_ hello, did you try install the xubuntu focal fossa?16:41
diogenes_Noboru55, no16:41
Noboru55diogenes_ i didn't try the 19.04.. maybe it works better then 19.10 to me16:42
diogenes_Noboru55, it still uses xfce 4.12 so i guess no big difference.16:44
Noboru55i see.. the xfce 4.12 is not a problem, but the 18.04 works better beacuse the video drivers and config. and the cpu usage when copying and moving files16:45
Noboru55i do not know the difference of 18.04 and 19.10 in this kind of work, like video e moving copying files16:46
Noboru55the 19.10 really works in slow way here16:46
Noboru55=/16:46
Noboru55so was thinking to try 20.04 to see how it works.... even its just in begining of the version16:47
diogenes_Noboru55, as an experiment you could try 19.10 but with 18.04 kernel or vice-versa.16:47
Noboru55vice-versa good word.. the same in my language16:48
Noboru55diogenes_ good idea.16:48

hans__how do i set the clipboard from a terminal? this doesn't seem to do anything: echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary17:50
hans__(xclip returns 0, but the clipboard is not modified)17:51
hans__18.0417:51
hans__huh, seems Xubuntu doesn't use the "primary" clipboard? because if run `echo foo | xclip -in -selection primary` followed by `xclip -out -selection primary` , i do indeed get `foo`, but if i try to ctrl+V, i get something else17:53
brainwashhans__: and with shift+insert?18:05
hans__brainwash, yup, shift+insert contains whatever i gave xclip -in -selection primary18:07
hans__don't know what shift+insert is tho :o18:07
xubuntu56wHello, I have a problem  with cryptsetup. At start of my PC the encryption does not work. No I started live CD and then I can encrypt.18:49
xubuntu56wI have XUbuntu 18.10 installed18:50
tomreyn!18.10 | xubuntu56w19:11
ubottuxubuntu56w: Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) was the 29th release of Ubuntu. Support ended July 18th, 2019. See !eol and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2019-July/004996.html19:11
xubuntu56wBut I'm not able to update due to the problem19:13
tomreynthe "does not work" problem?19:15
tomreynmaybe you can describe a bit more detailed what you are doing that does not work, how you can tell that it does not work as expected.19:16
tomreynalso whether you recently changed something which may have caused it to stop working the way it used to (and if so, what you changed).19:17
tomreynxubuntu56w: ^19:18
xubuntu56wYesterday it worked well. The system is LUKS encrypted. At start I'm asked for the password. If I enter the password I get the error message "cryptsetup failed, bad password or options"19:21
xubuntu56wIf I start with Live/CD I can encrypt same drive. Curiously I got an error message, but I can access the drive.19:23
tomreynxubuntu56w: maybe think about whether you have special characters in your LUKS encryption passphrase which will be located at different positions on an US-English keyboard. It could be that the keyboard layout changed for some reason.19:29
tomreynalso, if you can tell what the error message is you get to see when opening / accessing the LUKS encrypted storage from the live cd, this may be useful19:30
xubuntu56wThat was my first thought, but unfortunately that is obviously not the problem19:31
tomreynhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery explains how to recover a system from a live cd (using a chroot). it's unfortunately somewhat advanced19:31
xubuntu56wI would check it again, I'm not able to unmount it19:32
tomreynsee the systemd journal also, maybe the storage is physically defective19:33
tomreynjournalctl -b0 -p err    may report such19:33
tomreyni'm afraid i need to leave it there for now, i'll be afk for a while, maybe for the night19:36
xubuntu56wok, thank you19:36
