[02:01] <xubuntu21i> hi all new to this
[02:32] <zelayamantica> Hola
[02:33] <zelayamantica> Español?
[07:59] <nova> I have an Intel NUC loaded with xubuntu eoan connected to a television.  The televisions is 4k but I have xubuntu set to 1080p.  It looks fine after booting up, but if I switch to another input on the TV for a while and go back I see my 1080p xubuntu taking up only 1/4 of the screen.  It is not a scaling issue on the TV as far as I can tell because I have other 1080p devices that display without problems.  Has anyone experienced this
[07:59] <nova> or know what the problem could be?
[08:04] <nova> Here's what it looks like: https://pasteboard.co/IZ1zDrnt.jpg
[08:05] <nova> What's also interesting is that it isn't using the correct wallpaper when this happens either.
[08:30] <nova> Another problem I am having...If i set "LightDM gtk+greeter settings" to use a solid color background, then log out and back in, I see a process called xiccd using exactly 25% of my cpu.  It seems like when I use an image for the background it doesn't do this.
[09:31] <brainwash> nova: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xiccd/+bug/1845800
[09:32] <nova> If i add the experimental PPA and update xiccd, am I also going to update the other packages from that repo?
[09:33] <brainwash> not if you only install xiccd
[09:34] <brainwash> "apt install xiccd" will update the version if a newer one is available
[09:34] <nova> but if I already have xfce4-panel installed, and I update while using that PPA, will it not update that package as well?
[09:34] <brainwash> you disable the ppa afterwards
[09:35] <nova> so I should not use "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" after adding the PPA
[09:35] <nova> but sudo apt install xiccd, then remove the ppa
[09:36] <nova> ?
[09:36] <brainwash> sudo apt update && sudo apt install xiccd
[09:36] <brainwash> disable PPA
[09:36] <nova> and the next time I update with the ppa disabled, will it downgrade the package?
[09:37] <brainwash> shouldn't
[09:37] <brainwash> it's a newer version
[09:37] <brainwash> alternatively, you could probably just remove that package
[09:37] <nova> oh?  it's not essential?
[09:37] <brainwash> or disable its autostart launcher (if it has one)
[09:38] <brainwash> it is need for color management of your monitor
[09:38] <brainwash> in case you have a custom color profile
[09:38] <nova> I see..thank you
[09:39] <brainwash> https://simon.shimmerproject.org/2019/02/19/color-profile-support-for-xfce/
[09:39] <brainwash> if you want to read about it
[09:39] <nova> How long do you think it could take for this experimental version to make its way to the main repos?
[09:40] <brainwash> sadly, no idea
[09:40] <brainwash> maybe never
[09:40] <brainwash> it is fixed in xubuntu 20.04
[09:41] <brainwash> or, it will be once it's released
[09:41] <brainwash> in april
[09:42] <nova> Oh I see
[09:44] <nova> I see it listed in the "Session and Startup/Application Autostart", I'll just uncheck it there since I don't really have any need for color profiles that I'm aware of.
[09:45] <nova> Thank you for your guidance ;)
[09:46] <brainwash> you're welcome
[15:59] <piturren51> hello i need help for unistalling xubuntu. i don't have idea how can i do that.
[16:04] <Kumool> something like dd if=/dev/sd1 of=/dev/null ?
[16:04] <GridCube> piturren51: what do you mean unistalling?
[16:04] <GridCube> what do you want to uninstall?
[16:05] <Kumool> xubuntu, you heard him
[16:05] <GridCube> that makes no sense
[16:05] <Kumool> you can also just take your hdd out, and smash it with a rock
[16:05] <GridCube> ^ that would work
[16:05] <Kumool> no no, ubuntu could still survive
[16:06] <GridCube> doubt it, but it does take 14 days for it to manifest tho
[16:06] <Kumool> piturren51: uninstalling could mean erasing the partition/drive or it could be overwriting it with another OS
[16:07] <piturren51> erase the drive and install a new os
[16:08] <GridCube> you don't need to do anything then, the other installer will ask you if you want to format
[16:08] <GridCube> specially if its another linux flavour
[16:08] <GridCube> windows wont ask and just format everything
[16:11] <piturren51> i tryed it from a bootable usb but appears a xubuntu screen at that moment before starting the installation and i can't move forward
[16:14] <GridCube> your boot manager might not be looking to boot from usb first
[16:14] <GridCube> check at the uefi options
[16:14] <GridCube> maybe theres an F key you need to press to force teh boot to chose usb first
[16:17] <Kumool> read
[16:17] <Kumool> the
[16:17] <Kumool> docs
[16:17] <Kumool> use your phone
[16:17] <Kumool> everyone has installer instructions
