RosewhisperHope you have a really successful release today/tomorrow :)00:23
=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
=== zaphod is now known as zaphodb777
zaphodb777Found a deal-breaker in 20.04... it can't mount simple samba shares off my windows machines, or even my netgear router.04:12
zaphodb777"Software caused connection abort."04:12
zaphodb777Oh well, back to Lubuntu 18.04.04:15
fnordberggreetings, may i bother someone with a question in regards to upgrading xubuntu to 20.04 upon it's release?07:56
gnrp!hi08:02
ubottuHi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!08:02
gnrpno,w ait. That's not what I wanted...^^08:02
gnrp!ask08:02
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:02
gnrpfnordberg: yep, that one.^^08:02
Unit193fnordberg: Heya, what's up?08:05
fnordbergthanks gnrp. ok so i missed the upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10 by a longshot, i could have upgraded last week but i figured with 20.04 imminent that i might as well wait it out. however support for repositories in 19.04 also ended last week so i had to edit my sources.list to read old-releases instead of archive.ubuntu.com. my question is do i need to revert back to 'archive' in order to preform a08:09
fnordbergsuccessful upgrade?08:09
gnrpfnordberg: I don't get, what does one of the lines in your sources.list now look like?08:12
gnrpjust paste one line of your sources.list08:12
fnordbergdeb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ disco universe08:13
gnrpah, yes08:13
gnrpe.g., for universe I have the following line:       deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal universe08:13
gnrpwell, don't mind the ch., but you get the spirit ;)08:14
fnordbergright, and that was failing for me because of end of support. so in order to continue to access the repositories i had to change the url08:15
gnrpbtw, one way to find this out would be to just visit the address. If you go into the `dists` directory, you see the versions supported08:15
gnrpthen you can see that in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists there is no `focal`08:15
gnrpbut in http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ there is08:16
gnrpand vice versa, no disco on the ch.archive.ubuntu.com server08:16
fnordbergand focal is the current release name yes? so i will most likely have to change it back for an upgrade08:17
gnrpyep08:17
gnrpif the release name would not match, you would also notice it. I actually never tried, but I guess `apt update` would return an error08:18
fnordbergthat makes sense. thank you so much. will i lose any of my settings in upgrade and will it re-install some of the applications i chose to uninstall from 19.04?08:19
gnrpyou could always be losing settings. In my experience, upgrade paths are not stable with *any* Linux distro out there. For me, the recent xubuntu upgrades went fine, the only thing that always failed was the uefi boot loader installation when using the graphical updater08:21
gnrpconcerning re-installation and uninstallation: Could be. Depends on what you uninstalled. When you uninstalled something that entails deinstallation of important meta packages, you should be careful anyway08:22
gnrpI didn't look into it in detail what new applications are shipped with 20.04 compared to older versions. Maybe the easiest is to save the list of upgraded/deinstalled/etc. software and go through it afterwards08:23
gnrpbut there is no general statement possible. Package dependencies change all the time, and also what is shipped along with a standard installation changes all the time. So you have to give it a go and check08:24
_Alex_58good morning :)08:24
_Alex_58is it possible to ask for the future availability of a couple of packages?08:25
_Alex_58I mean some package available for older versions of xubuntu, but not present in the beta version08:26
gnrp!ask08:28
ubottuPlease don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience08:28
gnrp_Alex_58: Just ask. But I doubt there is a general answer that anyone here can give08:28
gnrpsometimes it depends on *any* of the 7bio people on earth to pick up software development and make it a package again. So you have to address quite alot of people :P08:29
gnrpbut for some packages, clear answers can be given^^08:29
fnordbergMainly I got rid of Parole and Thunderbird in favour of VLC and webmail. But it's not an issue if I have to axe them again. :) well I guess I'll just have to hope for the best and see how it goes. I feel more confident and prepared now at least. Thanks very much for your help gnrp08:29
_Alex_58thanks, I can't find in the repository amule, dispcalgui, docky08:29
_Alex_58will they be available in the official release?08:30
gnrpfnordberg: Yeah, just try it out. Here, tunderbird does not entail any further dependencies and it is actually a good idea08:30
* gnrp removes thunderbird from his system08:30
_Alex_58for dispcalgui and docky I found a little workaround08:30
_Alex_58the first can be downloaded from the official page, but not all the dependencies are listed (apt --fix-broken install can fix everything)08:31
_Alex_58docky can be substituted by plank (too skninny) or cairo-dock (too fat), I'm using plank08:32
_Alex_58but amule has no substitutes08:32
fnordbergalright I'm headed to bed, have a good night guys :)08:35
gnrpfnordberg: gn808:35
gnrp_Alex_58: I don't know any of these tools tbh^^08:35
gnrp_Alex_58: But in general, go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for the package08:35
gnrpyou will find maintainer infos on the right there, and also a link to their mailing lists08:35
gnrpand changelogs, etc.08:36
gnrpyou have to search a bit.08:36
gnrpIn general, there are many reasons why a package can be thrown out. Maybe there is just no maintainer anymore08:37
gnrpAlso search for bugs on launchpad.net08:37
gnrpso in *this* channel, you pretty sure will not find the information. The packages seem to not be xubuntu-specific, so #ubuntu would be more appropriate to ask. But in general, there are other ways in which you can contact maintainers/developers, that would be more appropriate08:38
gnrpI'm sorry I cannot give you a really helpful answer, but the only one I can give is: Dig deeper. And start with the last package description you find on packages.ubuntu.com and with issues on launchpad.net08:38
_Alex_58ok, thanks a lot for the complete answer08:38
_Alex_58I'm trying the first option, then I'll try the others08:39
gnrpfor dispcalgui you should notice anyway that it is now called displaycal08:39
gnrpah, and of course, also use the launchpad.net site for the packages08:41
gnrpe.g., https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docky08:41
_Alex_58yes, when I search I just look for disp08:41
_Alex_58but I can't find it in the complete list of packages for Focal08:42
gnrpthere is a complete list, but it is long. ;)08:43
gnrpI usually find the search on packages.ubuntu.com most helpful08:43
_Alex_58I just read it all...08:43
gnrpah, sorry, misunderstood08:43
_Alex_58no trace of the packages I need08:43
gnrpsome packages are just abandoned because there is no maintainer anymore. So you could even think of adopting it yourself08:44
_Alex_58I hope they will be added in the final version08:44
=== Guest_47 is now known as blohshyboi
_Alex_58thank you very much anyway, I'll try to contact the maintainers :)08:46
gnrpI doubt any new packages will be added08:47

gnrpblohshyboi: Uh-oh. ;)08:47
Unit193It's not a password, so that's good.08:49
gnrpUnit193: At last.^^08:49
_Alex_58thank a lot again and good bye :)08:52
blohshyboiOh, oops08:54
blohshyboimy bad08:54
blohshyboiIt wasn't working on NickServ so i thought it was here :(08:54
Unit193If you send messages to nickserv such as changing your password or identifying, switching to the status window so in case there's a space or otherwise it goes to the wrong place, it doesn't go into any channels.08:55
blohshyboiOh ok, thanks!08:57
antoine__Hello, I am using xubuntu 19.10 on a vaio laptop with an nvidia graphic card. I can't get sound through hdmi.09:26
antoine__Would you have any idea how I could fix it?09:26
blohshyboiCan you open Pulse Audio Control and send a screenshot of the devices09:27
antoine__I have nvidia x server settings in my settings and I have NVIDIA listed under additional drivers09:28
antoine__blohshyboi: Do I launch it with pavucontrol?09:28
blohshyboiyes09:28
blohshyboiI am currently not on Xubuntu so I can't guide you exactly through everything but I'll try my best09:29
antoine__Thanks a lot :)09:29
antoine__(I'm uploading the screeenshot)09:31
blohshyboiok09:33
antoine__blohshyboi: huchet.me/pavucontrol.png09:34
antoine__Oh it's not in english :s09:34
antoine__First line means speakers and second line means headphones09:35
blohshyboiI'll have to check my Xubuntu pc because I had a similar issue and I'll get back when I have something09:36
antoine__Ok, thanks a lot :)09:37
Antoine-blohshyboi: Can you message me on this account? I'll disconnect the other one. This one stays logged in.09:38
blohshyboiok09:39
blohshyboiI am trying to research a little while I can't get to it and I found this entry on AskUbuntu that seems similar to your issue09:39
blohshyboihttps://askubuntu.com/questions/512621/unable-to-get-audio-through-hdmi-connection-to-tv-with-ubuntu-14-0409:39
blohshyboithe solution seemed to be this command09:39
blohshyboisudo adduser $USER audio09:39
Antoine-Yes, I did that too :s09:39
Antoine-Then rebooted09:39
blohshyboiOh ok09:39
blohshyboiI'll search a bit more :)09:39
Antoine-:)09:40
Antoine-It might have to do with nvidia09:40
Antoine-I have an intel HD something and a dedicated nvidia card in this laptop09:40
blohshyboiI have never had audio issues with the HD Graphics on my computer so it's most likely nvidia09:42
blohshyboican you try to run this command?09:43
blohshyboilspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"09:43
blohshyboito check what are the specs of your Graphics Card09:43
Antoine-I went to NVIDIA X Server settings, switched to intel HD, rebooted and still no sound09:44
Antoine-Ok I'll do that09:44
Antoine-It only find my intel card09:45
Antoine-It says Inter Corporation 3rd Gen Code processor Graphics Controler (rev 09)09:46
Antoine-Subsystem: Sony Corporation 3rd Gen Code processor Graphics Controller09:46
Antoine-Kerner driver in use: i91509:46
blohshyboiAre there any additional drivers on the updater?09:48
blohshyboiXubuntu should automatically update but as I can't check right now I can't help too much09:48
rud0lfis it safe to update 18.04 to 20.04?09:49
rud0lfor should i do a backup?09:49
Antoine-Now changed to "NDIDIA On-Demand" in NVIDIA X Server Settings. the lspci command you gave me now find both my intel as before, but there is NVIAIDA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 640M LE] (rev a1)09:50
Antoine-Subsystem: Sony Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 640M LE]09:50
Antoine-Kernel driver in use: nvidia09:50
blohshyboirud0lf You should backup just in case09:50
rud0lfok will do09:50
rud0lfthanks for an advice09:50
blohshyboiI think that 20.04 isn't totally out yet09:50
blohshyboiI think that only the betas are out09:50
blohshyboithe full release should come out later today but I'm not sure09:51
blohshyboiBased on what I've heard09:51
blohshyboiAntoine- any changes on pavucontrol?09:51
Antoine-No09:51
Antoine-blohshyboi: The updater says, under additional drivers, "Keep using a manually installed driver", which is selected09:52
Antoine-There are other lines like: Use NVIDIA driver metapackage, Use NVIDIA binary driver or Use X.Org X server nouveau09:52
Antoine-I can't select them though09:53
rud0lfblohshyboi: ubuntu.com says april 23-rd, which is today09:53
blohshyboiYes but I think that the full release only comes later today09:54
Antoine-I wonder why I can't change drivers...09:54
blohshyboiAntoine- that's interesting09:54
blohshyboiDo you have safe mode activated?09:54
blohshyboi*Safe boot actually09:54
Antoine-I should probably remove the driver that was manually installed and let xubuntu do it09:55
Antoine-Ehm09:55
Antoine-How can I check? Is it a bios setting?09:55
blohshyboiI'm not 100% sure but I think it's a bios setting09:55
Antoine-I can't see safe boos settings in my BIOS09:59
Antoine-My laptop is from 201209:59
blohshyboiSo it probably doesn't have it09:59
blohshyboiYou should do what you said earlier on about removing and letting xubuntu do it10:00
xu-help4wif i install xubuntu 20.04 daily now, it will update to stable tomorrow?10:01
blohshyboiI'm not sure but I don't think so10:03
blohshyboiAlso, daily releases are very unstable and it's not recommended to install on your disk10:04
blohshyboiMost people install on a Virtual Machine10:04
blohshyboiIf I were you I would wait a bit longer and download the 20.04 or update from another version like 19.1010:05
Antoine-I wonder if I should choose nvidia driver, nvidia binary driver or nouveau10:05
Antoine-ill try nvidia driver. It says tested10:06
Antoine-I can change later if I want to try the libre nouveau driver10:06
Antoine-I wonder how it compares10:06
blohshyboiok good luck10:06
blohshyboikeep us posted :)10:06
xu-help4wok, tha's the way, thanks blohshyboi10:07
xu-help4wi'm very excited for it10:09

Antoine-Well neither the nvidia or nouveau driver work :(10:28
jorisIs 20.04 iso already somewhere?10:41

Antoine-Do you remember the screenshot I sent you? I had to click the little arrow on the top right corner to access other tabs11:00
Antoine-I needed the configuration tab11:00
Antoine-I didn't think about it because the window started up small on my big screen. I didn't think it wouldn't display all the tabs even when it had the space to do it...11:01
Antoine-All good now :)11:01
blohshyboiok nice11:02
blohshyboisorry for not being very useful11:02

blohshyboiapparently the torrent is out but I would only download whenever the announcement is out14:13
AndrioSo the website recommends having 20 GB storage space where installing Xubuntu15:08
Andriois that recommendation still valid for when /home is on another drive?15:08
xu-irc77wjust curious what time of the release15:09
blohshyboithere's no official time of release15:10
xu-irc77wk thanks15:10
JzjzHi15:19
JzjzAnyone here?15:19
cmbAndrio, yes, you need about 16-18Gb for the OS itself. I've a 30Gb root partition on my laptop, /home on another partition, and currently 18Gb of the root partition is used...15:22
AndrioAh15:25
AndrioThanks.15:25
blohshyboiAre you going to install on a external drive?15:25
xu-help6whello15:40
blohshyboihello!15:41
xu-help6wso is it ok to do "sudo do-release-upgrade " to force it15:41
xu-help6wi first started using xubuntu on 19.04 then went to 19.1015:41
xu-help6wstill pretty linux new15:41
xu-help6w20.04 i mean force that15:42
blohshyboiAs there isn't an official post yet, I don't think so15:42
xu-help6wok15:42
blohshyboii tried and it's not available15:42
xu-help6wi chose xubuntu cuz im having to use a really old mac that i salvaged as a computer15:42
xu-help6wit said it was on the terminal15:42
blohshyboiI know15:43
blohshyboii tried on the terminal15:43
xu-help6wbut it said "ubuntu" instead of xubuntu that's normal right15:43
blohshyboiYes15:43
xu-help6wBut yeah saw some stuff about what's new and saw a new darker version of greybird that looks neat i might try that15:44
xu-help6wany real big new features though15:44
blohshyboiIt looks really cool15:44
blohshyboiI don't think so15:45
blohshyboiapart from a newer kernel15:45
drleviathanso I fired up Transmission and am downloading/uploading ubuntu, xubuntu, and kubuntu.  Interestingly, xubuntu peering is downloading much faster than the other two.15:45
drleviathanMaybe becuase its image is only 1.66G instead of 2.72G15:45
blohshyboiI downloaded straight as it came out and it was slower than the others15:46
xu-help6wah i was just gonna do upgrade15:46
blohshyboibut the others were out for a while15:46
xu-help6wi dont think i had issues doing it the first time but who knows15:46
xu-help6wfirst time was 19.04 to 19.1015:46
blohshyboiI am going to fresh install because my PC is full of stuff and a fresh install will make it slightly cleaner15:46
blohshyboiMy first time installing was 18.0415:47
xu-help6wor maybe it was the second time15:47
xu-help6wi did it jan of last year so15:47
drleviathanbackup your data whatever you do15:47
lighterowldrleviathan: nah, that's because all the cool kids with fastest internets use Xubuntu .;)15:47
lighterowlbelieve me!15:47
xu-help6wmaybe was 18.04 or 18.1015:47
blohshyboilighterowl true xD15:47

xu-irc65wHello! I'm just curious if there's an ETA for the xubuntu 20.04 LTS download link being posted.16:07
drleviathanthe torrent is already up16:08
drleviathanmeanwhile... the ubuntu release party is practically counting down the seconds16:08
drleviathanwell... some torrent is already up.  Is it the final correct one?  Dunno.16:15
xu-irc65wYeah I think I'll just wait until it's posted on https://xubuntu.org/download :)16:16
FteWill we get a prompt to update to 20.04, do we do it via the software updater or do we have to download? I've not done this before16:17
xu-irc65wPer https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/ubuntu-20-04-release-features you won't get prompted to update until the first point release, which is expected in July.16:19
drleviathanI think there are ways to upgrade from the software updater, but I always backup my data and re-install.16:19
FteOkay thanks16:19
xu-irc65wA fresh install is the way to go imo. Mount your /home dir separately to make that less painful. ;)16:20
FteHa yeah I have done fortunately so I'll do a reinstall when the download is out16:21
xu-help24wWould like to down version 20.4. When can I do it?16:58
blohshyboiThe ubuntu website already has the download page updated but nothing on Xubuntu though17:26
blohshyboiShould be appearing soon I assume17:27
blohshyboi?17:27
dispoHi, Where can I dl xubuntu 20.04.0 lts ?17:31
Guest_27exciting day? new verion17:32
blohshyboihttps://ubuntu.com/download/desktop dispo17:33
blohshyboisorry wrong link17:33
blohshyboithat's for ubuntu17:33
blohshyboiXubuntu doesn't have an official release yet17:33
blohshyboishould be coming17:33
dispoill wait for xubuntu release17:33
drleviathanthere is a torrent available if you guess the url17:33
dispoi use xubuntu17:33
dispoxfce is too solid17:34
Guest_27yeah just waiting til i know it's ok to upgrade17:34
blohshyboidrleviathan Indeed, there is but I would hold on as it can be changed last minute17:34
blohshyboiI'd wait until an official statement17:34
Guest_27but wooo new release day17:35
dispowell im running 18.04.4 its got another year of support left17:35
dispono hurry17:35
drleviathanheh, I'm watching the ubuntu release party channel and... the official announcement appears to take a long time to reach all the official megaphones17:35
drleviathanwebsite says it is, but the bot dosn't know yet, and the email hasn't gone out yet17:35
blohshyboiIs the announcement supposed to be just ubuntu or all flavors?17:36
drleviathanI guess my take is going to be... I'll assume the torrent is functional. Whatever replaces it might have a few bugs fixed but will be pretty much the same thing.17:37
drleviathanIn the meantime: I'll peer the asset.17:37
drleviathanThe Kubuntu site was up early.17:37
drleviathanThe realease really is a multi-tentacled monster with its brain distributed across its limbs.17:38
blohshyboiI'm already peering Xubuntu17:38
blohshyboimakes sense17:38
dispohttps://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/focal/release/desktop/17:46
Guest_27dont think i would need to download the whole thing if im just doing upgrade instead17:47
Guest_27shouldnt be an issue im just waiting to know it's ok17:48
drleviathanpersonally I'd consider an upgrade from reposotories on release day to be... risky17:51
drleviathanfor fasted path, download the torrent, pull the asset, backup your data, and reinstall17:51

blohshyboiWe got release notes!!18:06
blohshyboihttps://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/20.04/release-notes18:06
blohshyboiNow we wait for the release18:07
lighterowlI just ran do-release-update and it broke halfway due to somehow messing up Python packages. running apt-get --fix-broken now...18:10
lighterowl*do-release-upgrade18:11
xu-irc12wdropping python 2? Thats going to be interesting, I thought there was loads of python 2 scripts in a modern distro18:12
blohshyboiApparently Python 2 is in End Of Life since January18:14
lighterowlyup18:14
xu-irc12wyeah I guess we had to make the jump eventually18:15
lighterowlhasn't stopped some people from still writing Python 2, though.18:15
xu-irc12wI don't know python is it hard to convert 2 to 3?18:15
blohshyboiYeah, apparently only apt-offline needed it18:15
blohshyboiNot sure18:15
xu-irc12wI guess its going to be one of those things that vairy18:15
blohshyboiProbably, it's hard to find a balance between compatibility and security though so...18:16
blohshyboiI guess it needed to happen18:16
lighterowlblohshyboi: you could do what my company is doing, namely still have 30-year-old code and packages in their systems.18:19
lighterowl;)18:19
blohshyboiOuch18:19
lighterowl(unfortunately, I'm *not* exaggerating)18:19
blohshyboithat's bad18:20
xu-irc12w  I can believe it, look how popular freedos is for that reason!18:20
lighterowl:)18:21
blohshyboiMy school still uses Macromedia Dreamweaver, but only for teaching (as far as I know) but it's not as bad compared to that lighterowl18:21
lighterowlwow, Dreamweaver! that takes me back.18:22
lighterowlI've never used it myself since I have no graphical talent/proficiency at all, but I've certainly heard the name and know which era to associate it with. :)18:22
blohshyboiIt's an oldie18:23
blohshyboiBefore Adobe purchased them18:23
lighterowlyeah, no kidding.18:23
blohshyboiBut I can tell you it's a bit of a nightmare land18:23
lighterowlI still remember the "Macromedia Flash" splash/info screen from some self-contained exes with Flash applications.18:23
blohshyboiThat's a classic18:24
blohshyboiAnd also Good Ol' Visual Basic 200818:24
lighterowlwonder if they'd run okay under wine. ;)18:24
lighterowlblohshyboi: 2008 is considered bleeding edge in my company. we still use Visual C++ 6 for a lot of our development.18:24
blohshyboiOh damn18:24
lighterowlfortunately, most of the developers have more modern IDEs just configured to use the MSVC6 compiler... I wouldn't want to touch the old IDE with a ten foot pole.18:25
blohshyboiI remembered the first time I used Visual Basic I was using 2010 and it was already quite old so I was surprised that my school has it18:25
blohshyboiIndeed18:25
blohshyboiUnfortunately some teachers aren't exactly liberal with alternative software18:26
lighterowlthat sucks18:26
blohshyboiSome of them don't allow us to submit OpenDocument files18:26
lighterowl:(18:26
lighterowlblohshyboi: though I kind of understand ... some of my more "seasoned" colleagues also seem to have become very set in their ways.18:27
blohshyboiWish we used more open software in school :(18:27
lighterowli.e. having "n" years of work experience isn't really synonymous with actually *progressing* "n" years in your field. I guess the same/similar goes for teachers in this case.18:27
blohshyboiYeah it makes sense, some teachers have been in the field for a while18:28
lighterowl:)18:28
blohshyboiAnd it's probably easier for someone who's still learning to change rather than someone who's been working with the same stuff for so long18:28
lighterowlI need to go to bed at a reasonable hour today ... hopefully this upgrade ends successfully.18:29
blohshyboilet's hope for that18:29
lighterowlalrigh, finished, about to reboot.18:37
blohshyboinice xD18:37
xu-irc12wgood luck!18:37
lighterowlyeah, that went well.18:42
xu-irc12wthat's good to hear, I'm going to install on quite a new rig, I think XFCE running on an SSD is going to be lightning quick :)18:43
lighterowlI have it running on a Lenovo P53 with an nvme ssd, can vouch for the speed.18:43
xu-irc12wI've put in a ryzen 7 and 16gb of DDR4 this should be a quick box :)18:44
blohshyboiWelp I'm going to install it on my almost 10 years old pc.18:46
blohshyboiThis is going to be fun xD18:46
lighterowlxu-irc12w: yup, I have a similar desktop setup and it's running very fast as well. not xubuntu, though, but Arch with xfce.18:46
lighterowlblohshyboi: 10 years, so that's a ... Core 2 Duo?18:47
blohshyboiPentium18:48
blohshyboioof18:48
blohshyboiit's going to hurt18:48
dispoxubuntu runs well on my lenovo t400 core 2 dual 8 gigs of ram18:48
dispo:)18:48
dispohttps://i.imgur.com/falvbjl.png18:49
lighterowldispo: very cool desktop!18:50
dispothanx :)18:50
blohshyboii will post here when its done18:50
lighterowlok, another reboot to see if the password prompt comes up on the HDMI-connected monitor.18:51
dispothe panel on the left auto hides :)18:51
blohshyboiso sunday be sure to check for updates from me xD18:51
dispowhy use plank or docker18:51
blohshyboi@dispo hot damn18:52
P-ChanHi guys! Do you tried upgrade from xubuntu bionic beaver to xubuntu focal fossa?18:55
lighterowlI did just that, in fact.18:55
xu-irc45wi have 19.10 so no havent done anything yet18:56
dispoP-Chan: i'll probably wait for it to go to .01 before updating18:56
lighterowldo-release-upgrade broke halfway due to (presumably) interdependencies and messing up Python packages, I had to continue the process manually via running apt --fix-broken and apt dist-upgrade.18:56
xu-irc45wyikes18:57
dispoP-Chan: https://hamwaves.com/release-upgrade/en/index.html you wanna follow this guide18:57
dispofor xubuntu upgrades18:57
dispolts18:58
xu-irc45wif im on 19.10 though isnt it sooner than the 18.04 people's upgrade prompts?18:58
lollersnakeWhen the release is available?19:01
dispoI downloaded the torrent19:02
dispogoing to test it later flash it on a usb flash19:02
blohshyboiProud to say that Xubuntu is now installing on my (10 yr old) PC xD19:10
P-Chanblohshyboi: do you downloaded the iso or upgrade from previous version?19:12
blohshyboiiso19:12
blohshyboiit was available through torrent from ubuntu servers19:13

xu-irc45wi'm using xubuntu on a 10 year old imac that I got for free because someone was recycling it, cant afford a new build yet19:26
xu-irc45wso it's an interm between builds19:26
xu-irc45wbeen using it over a year19:26
xu-irc45wi kept osx on it too but only for backup, and i use my own keyboard/mouse instead of the mac ones19:27
xu-irc45wdecent old machine , why i chose xubuntu19:27
xu-irc45wcuz it was for old machines19:27
blohshyboiIt's surprising how well it runs on old devices19:28
lighterowlI used to run it on my sister's old Pentium M laptop.19:28
blohshyboiMy 10 yr old laptop just installed and it's running like a charm19:28
lighterowlwow, that was a fast install!19:28
blohshyboiindeed19:28
blohshyboii was very surprised19:29
xu-irc45wI don't know if im gonna stick with xubuntu when i eventually can do a new build though no offense19:29
xu-irc45wim keeping the options open since better hardware then19:29
lighterowlxu-irc45w: sure, you're free to choose.19:29
xu-irc45wthough there's other stuff that's also using xfce like manjaro19:29
xu-irc45wmanjaro was one of em i looked at19:29
xu-irc45wbut ill still "have" this old machine with xubuntu in it i guess i can figure out a use for19:30
xu-irc45wonce i get a new one19:30
xu-irc45wdunno what that would be ...19:31
blohshyboiHere's an after: https://imgur.com/gallery/h7uV1l119:31
blohshyboiLooking really good and very snappy19:31
lighterowlyay!19:31
xu-irc45wsee i like having the bar on the bottom, also i put a bit of transparency like i had with windows 7 aero19:31
xu-irc45wi never went to 10 i went from 7 to xubuntu19:32
xu-irc45wcuz old build had 719:32
xu-irc45wbut yeah that's personal pref, im a person that's too used to it being on the bottom19:32
xu-irc45wever since windows 9519:32
xu-irc45wand i manually set the windows super key to open it as well19:33
xu-irc45wtoo bad it's a cheapo keyboard i cant change the cap with a penquin19:33
lighterowl:)19:33
xu-irc45wit's not one of the mech ones19:33
xu-irc45wit's a cheap insignia one19:33
blohshyboixu-irc45w i wanted to have a penguin key but mine is a laptop19:34
blohshyboimight get a sticker though19:34
xu-irc45wbut yeah one of the reasons i wanted to avoid w10, aero isnt there19:35
xu-irc45wwhile i dont get the upper transparency my taskbar can have it19:35
xu-irc45wand it looks decent19:35
xu-irc45wthe left side of the file manager does kinda remind me of osx though19:36
simonhi folks. Does anyone if/when 20.04 will be officially released today? Failed BIOS flash has bricked my machine so now would be a great time for that fresh install!19:38
blohshyboiI don't know yet. This seems to be taking a while compared to other distros, but the release notes are out already and the iso is made and on the servers already19:40
xu-irc45wshouldnt you fix the bios issue first heh19:40
xu-irc45woh whats the release notes19:40
blohshyboiyeah true19:41
mneptokhttps://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/focal/release/desktop/xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent19:41
blohshyboihttps://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/20.04/release-notes19:41
blohshyboixu-irc45w19:41
xu-irc45whmm might be what i saw already19:41
xu-irc45wor maybe it wasnt a finalized one i saw yet19:41
xu-irc45w>System doesn't boot after installation - Legacy mode / 2 disks19:41
simonthanks meptok19:42
xu-irc45wwhat is this?19:42
xu-irc45wlegacy 2 disks?19:42
blohshyboilegacy BIOS with 2 disks19:42
blohshyboiolder non-UEFI Bios19:42
xu-irc45wdoes that include old macs?19:42
xu-irc45wi dont know if this uses that19:42
simonxu-irc45w absolutely; trying that now. Full nightmare mode engaged.19:42
blohshyboidon't know19:42
blohshyboiDo you have 2 disks?19:43
xu-irc45whard drives? no19:43
xu-irc45wpartitions yeah i got multiple of em19:43
blohshyboiThen you shouldn't have any issues19:43
simonbut if one has >1 hard drive....?19:43
xu-irc45wit's a core 2 duo imac i think from like 2009?19:43
blohshyboiMy laptop has multiple partitions and legacy BIOS but only one disk19:43
blohshyboisimon shouldn't be any issues whatsoever19:43
xu-irc45wi dunno when the original owner got it19:43
simongroovy cheers blohshyboi19:44
xu-irc45wbut hey free computer is free computer19:44
simoncore 2 duo's a classic19:44
blohshyboiindeed19:44
xu-irc45wsaved it from being recycled19:44
xu-irc45wless ewaste heh19:44
blohshyboia friend has a laptop with a core 2 duo and 2 gigs of ram rocking windows 10 64 bit19:44
blohshyboitried to convince him to use xubuntu19:44
xu-irc45wyeah my old actual build that died (think it was the cpu or mobo) was an i5 2500k19:45
simontempted to get mine from the garage given how well this system saving job is going!19:45
xu-irc45wthe 2500k lasted like 8 years19:45
xu-irc45wgot it in 201119:45
blohshyboinice19:45
xu-irc45wwhat happened was i put in some new ram and i guess the cpu didnt like that or was just old/overworked/heated19:45
xu-irc45wor something19:45
xu-irc45wwho knows19:45
xu-irc45weven though early as i dont even have money for new build im leaning to ryzen19:46
xu-irc45wi never had an amd before though19:46
xu-irc45wand "maybe" amd gpu too never had that either but both seem to handle linux better from what i understand?19:46
blohshyboii think so19:47
blohshyboibut my only experience with amd and linux is my laptop which has amd graphics but it's from around 2009 so, probably not the best examle19:47
xu-irc45wyeah it looks as if amd is more open to linux19:48
xu-irc45wjust from observations19:48
Figaro84Any update when 2020.04 LTS of xubuntu will be release?19:49
xu-irc45wi dont have the experience , i mean this has an old ati19:49
blohshyboiit is a bit weird but amd has had great approaches at various technologies that intel for some reason isn't having19:49
blohshyboialso seen that with video encoding19:49
blohshyboiamd has been better at it lately19:49
xu-irc45wyeah i guess ive been in the past a bit of a brand whore it was always a combo of asus mobo, intel cpu, and nvidia gpu for me going back like almost 20 years19:50
xu-irc45wthrough 3 dif build19:50
xu-irc45wjust how it kinda always was19:50
blohshyboiits a "classic" config19:51
blohshyboitbh I would be inclined into something like that for a desktop build19:51
blohshyboiit feels natural19:51
blohshyboia couple years ago it was weird using amd and now they are killing it so it might change19:52
xu-irc45wbut yeah the 20.04 release notes doesnt seem to show anything that signifigant in changing19:52
xu-irc45wor feature adding19:52
blohshyboiapart from removing python 2 not much19:52
xu-irc12wother than the xubuntu twitter and xubuntu.org is there anywhere else they will be likely to post the release anouncement?19:52
blohshyboinot even the ubuntu release notes add much19:52
blohshyboii don't thik so19:52
blohshyboi*think19:52
xu-irc45wi may give that new dark greybird a shot19:53
blohshyboisomeone might put it here but I'm not sure19:53
blohshyboixu-irc45w it's kinda nice19:53
xu-irc45wyeah im looking at the ubuntu area of the notes too19:53
xu-irc45w    New graphical boot splash (integrates with the system BIOS logo).19:53
blohshyboiit feels weird going back to greybird after using a different theme for so long but it's very simple and feels good19:54
xu-irc45wSo is the xubuntu black one updated too?19:54
blohshyboidoes that happen with xubuntu?19:54
xu-irc45wthat's just what the ubuntu one says19:54
xu-irc45wwhich was linked on the xubuntu one's page19:54
xu-irc45whttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes19:54
blohshyboii know but i didnt see it on my pc19:54
blohshyboiagain my pc is 10 years old so19:54
dispowould be nice if xubuntu had 5 years of support instead of 319:54
xu-irc45wdid the boot screen itself look dif though19:55
xu-irc45wor is it still the black19:55
blohshyboiyes19:55
blohshyboii have an image but its very blurry19:55
blohshyboihttps://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/702855198703353866/702963284256489563/IMG_20200423_202456.jpg19:55
blohshyboiits very low quality but it's now black background and white accent19:55
xu-irc45wthat looks like the one i already know19:56
xu-irc45wbut yeah a lot of this changelog is stuff way beyond me lol19:56
blohshyboii think it had a bit of blue on the 18.0419:57
blohshyboithat's the one I was using19:57
blohshyboimaybe 19.10 was different19:57
xu-irc45wyeah might just be the same one i have already19:57
blohshyboixu-irc45w here's a high quality screenshot of the boot animation:19:59
blohshyboihttps://bluesabre.org/content/images/2020/04/install-17-2.png19:59
blohshyboiI'm considering making a CD installer using the minimal iso if 20.04 still supports it20:01
blohshyboijust for the laughs20:02
xu-irc45wah yeah i think that's the same boot screen20:02
blohshyboiinteresting: my laptop's fans seem to be quieter while idle20:04
blohshyboilike WAY quieter20:05
