| xubuntu70w | I have problems with using printer that I could not solve using google and the forums | 09:58 |
| xubuntu70w | when I click on the Printers option either in start menu or in the All Settings, nothing happens | 09:59 |
| xubuntu70w | I have tried everything mentioned in related threads on forums, but to no avail | 09:59 |
| xubuntu70w | can some help ? | 10:00 |
| xubuntu98w | Hello, how i cant resolve problem with auto lock? On my xubuntu sistem auto lock workg but not for my account. What I need to look to resolve this problem? | 10:33 |
| sleepyeyesvince | Hi xubuntu team. Just wanted to drop you a quick message that the link to the Australian mirror of 19.10 is dead. | 10:59 |
| sleepyeyesvince | http://mirror.exetel.com.au/pub/ubuntu/xubuntu-releases/19.10/release/ | 11:00 |
| gnrp | sleepyeyesvince: Here is not really the xubuntu team | 11:01 |
| gnrp | sleepyeyesvince: maybe file a bug report | 11:02 |
| gnrp | (probably somebody here can change this, though, but no guarantee) | 11:02 |
| sleepyeyesvince | got it. thanks. | 11:02 |
| lopta | I do like the look of those Xubuntu polo shirts. Sadly they're not available in my size. | 15:29 |
| gnrp | lopta: Which ones? | 15:30 |
| lopta | The HelloTux ones linked from the Xubuntu web site. | 15:33 |
| === psychokiller is now known as psychokiller68 | ||
| gnrp | lopta: What is your size? I guess you can contact them about extra sizes? | 15:38 |
| lopta | 3XLT | 15:38 |
| lopta | (or 4X, depending on cut) | 15:38 |
| gnrp | but then contact the HelloTux people directly. They are the ones handling the business | 15:53 |
| * lopta nods | 15:53 | |
| arandomcat | Hello. Anyone here? | 16:16 |
| gnrp | arandomcat: As you can see in the user list, yes ;) | 16:17 |
| gnrp | however, most people here are idling, so if you have a question, ask it and stay around for a while | 16:17 |
| arandomcat | gnrp hi, yeah I can see the list, but sometimes it is quite quiet here, ha ha. :D | 16:17 |
| arandomcat | Great. I configured hibernation yesterday on my Xubuntu (minimal install) by following this tutorial: https://zedt.eu/tech/linux/enable-hibernation-xubuntu-16-04/ | 16:18 |
| arandomcat | When I hibernate, I can't resume through my keyboard/mouse. I've been trying to search for an answer, but with no luck so far. | 16:19 |
| arandomcat | Oups, disconnected. | 16:29 |
| lopta | arandomcat: There's probably a reason hibernation's disabled by default. | 16:30 |
| arandomcat | Hmm, I allocated 8GB for swap. Could it be a BIOS setting or where should I look, lopta? | 16:31 |
| lopta | I doubt swap is where your computer suspends to. | 16:31 |
| arandomcat | Isn't the setting off by default? | 16:31 |
| arandomcat | I mean, hibernate. | 16:31 |
| lopta | My guess is that "hibernate" means suspend-to-disk. | 16:31 |
| lopta | Years ago that meant a separate partition or unpartitioned space. No idea how (or even if) that works today. | 16:32 |
| lopta | I use suspend-to-RAM | 16:32 |
| arandomcat | So the regular suspend option, right? | 16:33 |
| lopta | arandomcat: Probably. | 16:45 |
| lopta | I don't have a Xubuntu box on hand to see what it does when you ask it to suspend. | 16:46 |
| lopta | My guess would be suspend-to-RAM. | 16:46 |
| xubuntu69w | I've got a question about the lock screen. Whenever I wake my computer from hibernation within about 5 minutes it'll go back to the look screen. Is there a way to fix this? | 17:12 |
| STPE | Hello. Do a linux distro like Xubuntu make your PC perform faster? And does this even matter on an i5, 8 GB ram? | 18:24 |
| brainwash | STPE: faster than its specifications? | 18:24 |
| brainwash | also, compared to what? | 18:25 |
| lopta | An i5 with 8 GB RAM sounds quite nice for Xubuntu. | 18:39 |
| lopta | (based on my own experience) | 18:39 |
| lopta | Does yours have an SSD? | 18:39 |
| STPE | brainwash Sorry my attention got pulled away, I mean more like in the sense of system respons? Like if you open an application, or filesystem is it faster to open the page? And compared to something like Ubuntu | 19:22 |
| lopta | Not sure how noticable the difference would be speed-wise but I prefer Xubuntu's Xfce desktop fwiw. | 19:30 |
| lopta | ...and I think my users would find that less confusing that Ubuntu, but icbw. | 19:30 |
| brainwash | STPE: it can be noticeable, but mainly due to normal Ubuntu using the GNOME desktop environment | 19:35 |
| brainwash | GNOME was known for performance issues | 19:35 |
| STPE | @lopta Why do you prefer it? Any particularity reasons? | 19:36 |
| brainwash | things under the hood should be same speed-wise | 19:37 |
| STPE | brainwash Do Ubuntu 19.04 not ship with Gnome 3.x.x (Cannot remember the vision number) Should it not fix most of the performance issues? | 19:37 |
| brainwash | it should | 19:38 |
| brainwash | however, with every new version you still read that the GNOME team has improved performance once again | 19:38 |
| STPE | Well I guess increasing performance never ends | 19:39 |
| brainwash | so, not sure how close they are to their goal | 19:39 |
| STPE | Imrpoving* | 19:39 |
| brainwash | note that GNOME has two modes | 19:40 |
| brainwash | wayland and the old Xorg one | 19:40 |
| brainwash | personally, I would just download the various ISOs and test the live sessions | 19:42 |
| STPE | Well I already did that | 19:42 |
| STPE | But I cannot decided between Xubuntu and Ubuntu | 19:43 |
| brainwash | both are quite different when it comes to look and feel | 19:44 |
| brainwash | so, you surely must prefer one over the other | 19:44 |
| brainwash | and make sure to pick 19.10 | 19:45 |
| brainwash | you mentioned 19.04 | 19:45 |
| brainwash | those are only short term release | 19:46 |
| brainwash | releases | 19:46 |
| STPE | Hm, but isn't those version supposed to be "unstable"? | 19:46 |
| STPE | I need to use it for school, and I would like it if virtualization did not break randomly | 19:47 |
| STPE | I don't even know if that is an concern | 19:47 |
| brainwash | 18.04 is the long term release | 19:47 |
| brainwash | 20.04 will be the next one | 19:47 |
| brainwash | and yes, running a short term release will require you to fully upgrade every 6 months | 19:49 |
| STPE | You can upgrade the system when a new version comes out right? So you don't need to do a clean install | 19:51 |
| brainwash | STPE: yes | 19:55 |
| brainwash | but having something break every 6 months can be troublesome | 19:56 |
| brainwash | and that is your concern | 19:56 |
| Noboru55 | Hello, in Xubuntu 18.04 the google chrome is closing by itself | 20:32 |
