robinHi all, i wonder how i change the swappiness to "swappiness = 10" in xubuntu? i manage to do it in ubuntu but not here :/13:24
robini try : gedit admin:///etc/sysctl.conf13:25
lighterowlrobin: this parameter is changed via sysctl, in exactly the same way as in ubuntu.13:27
robincould not open file "unable to handle admin locations is what i get13:28
lighterowlrobin: try using a textmode editor via sudo.13:28
robinwhat command would that be ? =L13:29
lighterowlfor example sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf13:29
lighterowlmake the changes that you want, and then press ctrl-o to save the changes, and ctrl-x to exit the editor.13:29

xubuntu4whi! I am a happy Xubuntu user for the last 3 years. I upgraded from 18.04 to 19.10 but the performance is extremely bad. For example switching workspaces takes ~1 sec and mouse freezes completely. How can I gather more information on what is going on? When I do GUI related actions I can see in top that Xorg is ~20-30% CPU, but I guess this is not14:13
xubuntu4wenough information14:13
diogenes_xubuntu4w, if you upgraded, could you try with a new test user and see if you get the same issues?14:24
xubuntu4wdiogenes_ is there a default/vanilla test user or should I go ahead and create a new user?14:27
brainwashxubuntu4w: try this https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=1323314:28
diogenes_xubuntu4w, yes, just to create a new user like: sudo useradd test14:29
xubuntu4wbrainwash `xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode` gives `auto`. So by reading the forum post, I understand I currently use glx14:31
brainwashthat is likely the case14:32
brainwashtry the different modes14:32
xubuntu4wbrainwash OMG! yes this completely solves the issue. Both "xpresent" and "off" work just fine14:36
brainwashgreat14:36
brainwashxpresent should have been the actual default value for Xfce 4.14, but some people reported problems, so it was changed back to glx14:37
brainwashand glx has its own problems =S14:38
xubuntu4wmany many thanks!14:38

xubuntu41wHello, I haven't used IRC before but I'm looking for some help with Xubuntu...17:46
xubuntu41wI'm trying to install Xubuntu on an old Macbook but the live USB isn't being picked up as one of the boot options. However I've got a live USB of Ubuntu (the gnome-based one) and that shows as an EFI boot option. Is there a way to get Xubuntu to boot in EFI mode?17:47
xubuntu41wAnyone here?17:50
