[01:39] <xubuntu26w> grub problems
[10:03] <jermslp> Where the real ./'ers at
[10:03] <jermslp> Wats the differneces hetween xubuntu n mint
[10:05] <well_laid_lawn> what is it you really are asking there?
[10:06] <well_laid_lawn> the difference between linux distros is packaging and support mostly
[11:06] <xubuntu38w> Hi
[13:18] <GridCube> hi
[15:09] <mauser9069> Hello, all. I am using Xubuntu 18.04LTS and the dialog boxes for updates are way too wide. I have the DPI set to 160 because of my eyesight. Changing the DPI does not correct this bug. It won't allow me to resize them. I posted it this issue here but no luck. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2431793 Anyone knows a fix for this?
[15:09] <mauser9069> By the way. I am commandline illiterate.
[15:14] <GridCube> mauser9069: you can resize windows by pressing ctrl and the right mouse click and drag to desired size
[15:14] <mauser9069> I tried that and it won't let me resize them.
[15:16] <mauser9069> These are the boxes that won't resize. https://postimg.cc/w7Fk6QvD and https://postimg.cc/n9j7jLkB
[15:17] <GridCube> that doesn't look like xubuntu
[15:18] <GridCube> i mean probably it's a different theme, but looks a lot like lxde
[15:19] <mauser9069> I themed it differently. Even the standard Theme the dialog boxes are still way to wide.
[15:19] <GridCube> i see
[15:19] <mauser9069> It's XFCE theme.
[15:19] <GridCube> mmhm
[15:19] <GridCube> looks like a bug then
[15:20] <mauser9069> Yes, but I tried to report the bug but it won't let me file a bug report.
[15:22] <mauser9069> So far I am living with this bug. I don't see it ever getting fixed if they won't allow me to file a bug report.
[15:22] <GridCube> how did you tried to fill the bug?
[15:22] <brainwash> bug 1737320
[15:23] <GridCube> :D brainwash to the rescue
[15:24] <mauser9069> I tried using Launchpad which I have an account for. There is nowhere to file a bug report, only search for bugs.
[15:24] <brainwash> you should be able to open new reports
[15:24] <mauser9069> Thank you "ubottu".
[15:25] <brainwash> width = dpi / 72 * size * num_em
[15:25] <mauser9069> It won't let m e "brainwashed".
[15:26] <brainwash> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+filebug
[15:26] <mauser9069> At 72 DPI I can't see anything.
[15:27] <brainwash> there is a "Report a bug" link in the top right corner
[15:28] <GridCube> mauser9069: the best way to report a bug is opening a terminal and typing ubuntu-bug nameofpackage
[15:28] <brainwash> the window width calculation seems to depend on the set DPI value
[15:28] <mauser9069> I am commandline illiterate.
[15:28] <brainwash> higher DPI -> larger window
[15:29] <GridCube> :) you can always learn
[15:29] <GridCube> as commands go that's an easy one
[15:29] <mauser9069> I have tried to learn since 1982 and it's Gibb erish to me.
[15:30] <GridCube> :P
[15:30] <brainwash> but keep in mind that you should check first if a bug report already exists
[15:31] <brainwash> I linked the existing one for the inability to resize the window (when using Xfce)
[15:31] <brainwash> didn't check if there is one for the width calculation
[15:36] <mauser9069> Thank you for the link to file a bug report "brainwashed"
[15:39] <mauser9069> Thank you all. Bug report filed.
[15:39] <mauser9069> Bye all.
[18:21] <krrysis> how do i change terminal colors?
[18:24] <GridCube> from settings
[18:29] <bynarie> ^^
[21:48] <BuSdRiVer320> Hi. Is there a way how to get the panel profile which is the default one when one installs xubuntu?
[22:02] <gnrp> BuSdRiVer320: When you delete your old configuration of the panel
[22:06] <BuSdRiVer320> gnrp, i chose Xfce 4.14 in the Panel Profiles app
[22:07] <BuSdRiVer320> Now i've chosen Xubuntu 18.04  and it seems that everything is back how it was
[22:07] <BuSdRiVer320> would be helpful to create a label called xubuntu 19.10
[22:08] <brainwash> is 19.10 any different?
[22:10] <BuSdRiVer320> I don't know as 19.10 is the first time i've installed xubuntu
[22:11] <brainwash> https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-panel-profiles/tree/data/layouts
[22:12] <brainwash> you could open a new report
[22:12] <brainwash> https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?component=General&product=Xfce4-panel-profiles&resolution=---
[22:13] <BuSdRiVer320> Thanks. Will do.
[22:14] <gnrp> reminds me I have to upgrade one computer to 19.10.
[22:15] <gnrp> no point in waiting five months for 20.04
[22:15] <BuSdRiVer320> I'm testing atm.
[22:15] <BuSdRiVer320> but was impressed with how stable xubunto 19.10 is
[22:16] <gnrp> BuSdRiVer320: What is the recommended way to upgrade xubuntu?
[22:16] <gnrp> well, I guess it is as stable as any ubuntu release?
[22:16] <BuSdRiVer320> yes and no... i've installed ubuntu 19.10 and lubuntu 19.10
[22:16] <BuSdRiVer320> both had issues
[22:17] <gnrp> ah, ok
[22:20] <gnrp> so, let's see. Upgrading from 18.04 to 19.10...
[22:20] <gnrp> maybe then I can get real USB 3...
[22:23] <BuSdRiVer320> good luck
[22:40] <gnrp> lol. The upgrade window now shows me that the package configuration needs some interaction... but I cannot interact
[22:40] <gnrp> i.e., I upgrade the system, then I have to do this configure secure boot stuff, but I cannot enter anything
[22:54] <gnrp> hmmm, nice. Some small troubles, but all in all system works fine now
[22:59] <gnrp> where do I set the system-wide keyboard layout?
[23:03] <brainwash> gnrp: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[23:05] <gnrp> brainwash: Yep, tried that. I edited in the end /etc/default/keyboard directly because I wouldn't know the keyboard model for my notebook
[23:05] <gnrp> still having some trouble with keyboard layout/internationalization after the upgrade, though :/
[23:05] <gnrp> when I open a vim and insert an umlaut, it always makes the character and then a space
