[09:58] <xubuntu70w> hey guys, Xubuntu user here
[09:58] <xubuntu70w> I have problems with using printer that I could not solve using google and the forums
[09:59] <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
[10:00] <xubuntu70w> can some help ?
[10:33] <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?
[10:59] <sleepyeyesvince> Hi xubuntu team. Just wanted to drop you a quick message that the link to the Australian mirror of 19.10 is dead.
[11:00] <sleepyeyesvince> http://mirror.exetel.com.au/pub/ubuntu/xubuntu-releases/19.10/release/
[11:01] <gnrp> sleepyeyesvince: Here is not really the xubuntu team
[11:02] <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.
[15:29] <lopta> I do like the look of those Xubuntu polo shirts.  Sadly they're not available in my size.
[15:30] <gnrp> lopta: Which ones?
[15:33] <lopta> The HelloTux ones linked from the Xubuntu web site.
[15:38] <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)
[15:53] <gnrp> but then contact the HelloTux people directly. They are the ones handling the business
[15:53]  * lopta nods
[16:16] <arandomcat> Hello. Anyone here?
[16:17] <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
[16:18] <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/
[16:19] <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.
[16:29] <arandomcat> Oups, disconnected.
[16:30] <lopta> arandomcat: There's probably a reason hibernation's disabled by default.
[16:31] <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.
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <arandomcat> So the regular suspend option, right?
[16:45] <lopta> arandomcat: Probably.
[16:46] <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.
[17:12] <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?
[18:24] <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?
[18:25] <brainwash> also, compared to what?
[18:39] <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?
[19:22] <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
[19:30] <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.
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <STPE> @lopta Why do you prefer it? Any particularity reasons?
[19:37] <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?
[19:38] <brainwash> it should
[19:38] <brainwash> however, with every new version you still read that the GNOME team has improved performance once again
[19:39] <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*
[19:40] <brainwash> note that GNOME has two modes
[19:40] <brainwash> wayland and the old Xorg one
[19:42] <brainwash> personally, I would just download the various ISOs and test the live sessions
[19:42] <STPE> Well I already did that
[19:43] <STPE> But I cannot decided between Xubuntu and Ubuntu
[19:44] <brainwash> both are quite different when it comes to look and feel
[19:44] <brainwash> so, you surely must prefer one over the other
[19:45] <brainwash> and make sure to pick 19.10
[19:45] <brainwash> you mentioned 19.04
[19:46] <brainwash> those are only short term release
[19:46] <brainwash> releases
[19:46] <STPE> Hm, but isn't those version supposed to be "unstable"?
[19:47] <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
[19:49] <brainwash> and yes, running a short term release will require you to fully upgrade every 6 months
[19:51] <STPE> You can upgrade the system when a new version comes out right? So you don't need to do a clean install
[19:55] <brainwash> STPE: yes
[19:56] <brainwash> but having something break every 6 months can be troublesome
[19:56] <brainwash> and that is your concern
[20:32] <Noboru55> Hello, in Xubuntu 18.04 the google chrome is closing by itself
[20:32] <Mead> how often?
[20:33] <Noboru55> do not know.. sometimes..
[20:33] <Mead> what are you doing when it happens?
[20:33] <Noboru55> many tabs opened... doing nothing in special.. reading some sites
[20:34] <Noboru55> only readin news and fake news... and 2 gmail opened at same time
[20:34] <Noboru55> is the ram usage the problem?
[20:34] <Mead> no telling, there has got to be a log you can check
[20:35] <Mead> you might want to go t #ubuntu itself, this channel is not the most active.
[20:36] <Noboru55> i see. thank you anyway
[21:41] <lopta> brb, going to tear the lid off an HP desktop
