cacofonixI have, installed on my desktop computer before me, Xubuntu 17.10, which I installed from an older installation DVD I found recently. How do I upgrade to the latest version (18.04) of Xubuntu? Yesterday, when I logged on to my computer, a small graphical window program asked me if  want to upgrade to version 18.04. I didn't upgrade then. Since then04:28
cacofonixI have been unable to find that facility on this Xubuntu 17.10 machine.04:28

Noboru55hello, please someone can help me? Everytime i copy files to usb pendrive it stucks at the end, after few minutes it finish.... it happens to files like movies and other big files like iso. is there someway to fix it?14:11
diogenes_Noboru55, there is.14:12
Noboru55diogenes_ hey there14:13
Noboru55diogenes_how ?? :D14:13
gnrpNoboru55: There is no solution to it14:13
Noboru55gnrp :(  no14:14
gnrpNoboru55: This is first the write cache being filled up and then slowly writing it to the disk14:14
diogenes_http://dpaste.com/0897TXP14:14
diogenes_that is the solution.14:14
Noboru55gnrp but osx and windows doesnt work in the same way14:14
gnrpyou could mount the drive in sync (the speed goes down even, but the progress bar would be proper) or get a faster usb drive...14:14
Noboru55lets see that dpaste firts14:14
Noboru55first*14:15
gnrpah, or diogenes_ solution. This is essentially the first one, reducing the write cache14:15
Noboru55gnrp the dpaste do what u said i guess14:15
Noboru55slowly to copy but can work i guess14:15
Noboru55diogenes_ chromium is working better here... chrome was closing by itself..14:16
Noboru55diogenes_ thank u! for that dpast14:17
diogenes_Noboru55, could try with chrome --disable-gpu14:17
gnrpno, his solution is better than writing synchronously14:17
Noboru55going to try it14:18
Noboru55need i reboot ?14:18
Noboru55i will do anyway14:19
Noboru55thank u 214:19
Noboru55i back to tell what happened14:19
diogenes_sudo sysctl -p is enough.14:19
diogenes_ops14:19
gnrplol, two seconds too late14:19
diogenes_yes lol14:19
Noboru55diogenes_ worked!14:33
Noboru55the copy get slowly but its ok..14:33
Noboru55just used nano instead vi, because vi is for pro linux users14:34
diogenes_Noboru55, it didn't get slower, it's the true speed of copying the file.14:34
Noboru55really?14:34
Noboru55well worked anyway14:34
diogenes_if you have gotten a faster usb stick, the copying process would have been faster.14:34
Noboru55next week last step i'll install hp printer and scanner to use in xubuntu14:35
Noboru55diogenes_ i'll do it :D14:35
Noboru55but it doesnt stuck at the end now14:35
