pongalHello guys, Could someone help me why I am not able to join the ubuntu channel. Whenever I try, I get autojoined to ubuntu-unregged room02:59
Unit193pongal: You must be registered and identified with services to join #ubuntu.03:01
pongal@Unit193, I registered to freenode03:02
pongalI am pretty new to IRC and linux in general03:02
pongaland I am using hexchat03:02
Unit193pongal has NOT COMPLETED registration verification  Check your email.03:02
pongaloh ok, will check. thank you.03:03
Unit193Sure thing.03:03
pongalalso, do you guys use vim ? I would like to learn it, but I am worried that I may not be able to switch between vim and normal typing when I am on a different computer03:03
Unit193'vi' should always be avilable.03:03
pongal@Unit193, I meant on windows machine at work03:04
pongalor on some one else's computer03:04
pongal@Unit193, I verified it. thank you.03:04
Unit193\o/03:04
pongal@Unit193, Are there any easy ways to lower cpu temperature. Mine hovers at around 51C. I know that running only essential programs is good, but any tips?03:06
Unit193Power save mode or somesuch?03:06
pongalis there a power save mode ?03:07
pongal@Unit193, Can I switch from ubuntu to Xubuntu easily?03:08
Unit193Might be easier to re-install so you don't have a bunch of cruft, but you can `sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop^`03:09
pongalok.03:09
pongal@Unit193, will there be considerable difference in performance between ubuntu and xubuntu? I am on a relatively good system i7 8th gen, 16 gb ram, 4gb graphics card.03:10
Unit193I'd imagine a bit, but I haven't used Ubuntu since 6.04. :)03:12
pongalI am just looking at a youtube video to learn vim03:13
pongalI want to switch to Ubuntu/xubuntu from my windows permanantly03:13

diogenes_xu-irc46w, if you have a separate /homa partition then you can install from a usb drive but the upgrade won't be available until july.05:36
xu-irc46wthat means we have to freshly installed if we want now05:37
diogenes_yes05:37
xu-irc46wone more question pls05:37
xu-irc46wi have checked and see there are partition for home and xubuntu, now if i freshly installed on this, does my home folder will be safe05:41

xu-irc46whttps://termbin.com/ys4d05:50
diogenes_xu-irc46w, sda7   8:7    0 228.3G  0 part /home >>>>>> which means you have a separate home partition and in case you re-install, your data will remain intact BUT you need to do manual partitioning and assign sda7 as /home, be careful, not formag but just set the mountpoint of sda7 as /home.05:54
diogenes_not format*05:55
Krishna87 Hi05:56

diogenes_xu-irc46w, you're welcome.05:57
Krishna87Xubuntu 20.04 has been amazing OOTB.05:57
Krishna87But on FDE, I don't see the password field at all. There is a Xubuntu logo in a black screen.05:58
Krishna87When I start typing though, I see the characters are being registered but without the usual field borders around them.05:59
Krishna87Was that intentional?05:59
diogenes_Krishna87, if you log out do you see the usual password/login dialog?06:04
xu-irc46wdiogenes_ one more favour, i just wanted to install sound card installation software , is it possible. actually when using windows10 it was amazing sound control from that interface. Link is given below.06:04
diogenes_Krishna87, this is how it should look: https://i.imgur.com/JjoKdX5.png06:06

diogenes_xu-irc46w, you use pavucontrol for audio stuff.06:20
xu-irc46wjust one question, will my sound experience be improved upon intallation of realtek software06:21
xu-irc46wdiogenes_ i have already that pavucontrol in the name of pulse audio volume control but it is not upto the mark06:23
xu-irc7wwill my sound experience be improved upon intallation of realtek software in xubuntu06:56
pmjdebruijnbrainwash: because it's the "new" way of starting stuff in session, but that does assume using ssytemd in a first place08:33
pmjdebruijnas much as I have mixed feelings about many aspects of systemd08:34
pmjdebruijnit's rather nice to have able to query status of some user session daemon though08:34
pmjdebruijnand have logging in a standardized way08:34
pmjdebruijnbut /etc/xdg/autostart works08:34

coconutDoes xfce dekstop come with the same sys-tray circumstances as mate? ( https://ubuntu-mate.org/images/blog/eoan/mate-optimus-19.10.1.png )14:26
coconutfor the optimus package i believe it is?14:27
coconutor is there another way of configuring this from the terminal ?14:29
brainwashcoconut: out-of-the-box?14:30
coconutbrainwash, yeah14:30
brainwashno idea14:32
coconutlol14:32
brainwashyou should be able to install it though14:32
brainwashthe package repository is shared across all Ubuntu variants14:33
coconuti was thinking like that too...14:33
=== sorcerer_ is now known as sorcerer
brainwashand that is only a screenshot14:33
brainwashwith no details about what exactly this tray icon is14:34
brainwashhttps://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/09/nvidia-optimus-linux-switching-applet14:35
brainwashpackage name is "mate-optimus"14:37
brainwash!info mate-optimus14:37
ubottumate-optimus (source: mate-optimus): MATE Desktop applet for controlling NVIDIA Optimus graphics cards. In component universe, is optional. Version 19.10.4-0ubuntu1 (focal), package size 9 kB, installed size 46 kB14:37
coconuti checked and there is no "xfce-mate" or anything like it in the repo. But there is "bumblebee-nvidia" package.14:41
coconutso probably i can still do so14:41
brainwashno, you install mate-optimus14:42
brainwashhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/mate-optimus14:42
brainwashit does no seem to depend on MATE14:42
coconuti guess i get lucky14:45

xu-help4wHi hope someone can throw some light on a font issue I'm having after upgrading xubuntu to 20.04, ie my system fonts are just blocks15:28
sorcereru get the same problem when opening terminal?15:36
sorcereri got that problem as well15:36
v1adimirxu-help4w: maybe (?!) update-locale, or what's that other CMD..15:36
xu-help4wnothing in terminal, or open applications etc, just system wide font rendering, I can't seem to adjust them from a terminal either15:37
coconutxu-help4w, hi. i cannot help, but are you using a high-dpi screen perhaps?15:38
xu-help4wnot hi dpi all icons are normal, it's just the font15:39
coconuti see15:39
v1adimirperhaps gnome-tweak-tool can fix it, when just configuring Font settings from there? unless it's just in "screen" like coconut says15:39
xu-help4wdoes gnome tweak even work in xfce4?15:40
v1adimir.. after an update, so maybe just True Type got messed up??15:40
v1adimirfont-manager is unable to repair nothing, right?..15:41
xu-help4wI can't use font manager, as it's using the system fonts, I can't use Thunar either to reset the font cache as I can't read the font!15:42
v1adimiroh, wow, ok.. hm. :f15:43
v1adimirxu-help4w: was your locale something other than (the default) en_US, or en_GB is that how come it's a mess now?15:45
xu-help4wmy locale was en-gb before upgrading15:46
v1adimirthis page https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/how-to-reset-fonts-to-defaults/5920 says that we could "reset all system fonts", by: sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge fontconfig fontconfig-config15:48
v1adimirsome more (@https://askubuntu.com/questions/609515/what-is-the-default-font-for-xubuntu-terminals), "factory defaults" can be restored by removing the corresponding config file: rm ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc15:50
xu-help4wI tried something similar a little earlier, but that was for the gnome desktop, will try though15:50
xu-help4wI found the Factory defaults one, it didn't do anything15:51
v1adimiror @https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=10074 "to reset terminal settings you have to remove .config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc"15:51
v1adimirbt that's prolly not what you need, blah15:51
xu-help4wJust had a look at the photo in the last link & it's not what I've got, forgot to say thanks for helping v1adimir, appreciate it15:57
v1adimirall good!..:) hope we (all :)) can solve it, though!15:58
xu-help4wMe too,  I've just done the suggestion from the ubuntu mate link you sent me, I'm going to log out & back in to see if it works, back in a min16:01
millzok v1adimir I'm back it didn't work16:03
v1adimiryea! :( thought so, dang.16:04
v1adimirerr, did you log-out session.. I mean, it probably has been logged out (default behavior, right)16:04
millzI'd already tried most of the things I knew of and other's I have found before coming on the channel, yes logged out and back in, tried rebooting not any help.16:06
xu-help0wHello from Austria! I am new to the Linux World and i have a question...how can i connect my Printer. There are some errors like "libtiff4" is not installed but libtiff5 is installed16:35
millzPrinters usually get detected in Xubuntu for me by first plugging them in and then switching them on, a dialog will open up offering to configure the printer, I haven't had problems with printer in Linux for ages, if it's a canon you may get issues.16:40
xu-irc40wDoes upgrade work for 19.10 -> 20.04?  Been a week since release and still not prompting for update.  Do I need to do a fresh install?16:52
millzI did an upgrade myself, I wasn't prompted for one, and now I'm having system font rendering issues which I just can't cure, I may have to do a fresh install for the first time in four years.16:54
coconutxu-irc40w, yes it does work, but the upgrade path is not officially rolled out yet. See here for details: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2020/04/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-20-0416:54
coconutpersonally i would wait with upgrading (although i do have 20.04 here myself)16:56
xu-help0w@millz yes it's an canon mg5250...17:00
xu-irc40winteresting, didn't know of -c option to do-releasy-upgrade17:06
xu-irc40wthanks!17:06
xu-irc40woddly -c isn't in the man pages17:07
coconutoh, that is a bug i guess!17:09
coconutxu-irc40w, i don't know if you're willing, but -> https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/reporting_bugs.html17:11
coconutoh... do-release is not part if the linux pages there17:16
xu-irc83wHi, my scroll speed sensitivity are way to high -- where do I change?18:01

diogenes_xu-irc83w, here: https://i.imgur.com/47NzUUc.png18:05
xu-irc68whello im having a big problem, my mouse keeps disconnecting for like half a second every minute or so. I disabled auto suspend with the powertools programm as well as manually (when i check it it is set to -1) but it still keeps on disconnecting, making everything hassle.18:21
xu-irc68wits a wired g9x so i cant install the logitech gaming software, because its not supported by linux18:22
xu-irc68wits really annoying and the lights go out and on again every time too, when the mouse isnt in use its even as often as every 10 seconds or so...18:22
xu-irc68wany ideas?18:22
diogenes_xu-irc68w, you could try xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.18:24
xu-irc68wwhats that?18:24
diogenes_another driver but wait sorry i missunderstood, that's for touchpad.18:26
xu-irc68wits a wired logitech g9x gaming mouse18:27
xu-irc68wis there another way of checking if auto suspend is really turned off? i only found a "cat" command that returns -118:27
diogenes_if it's a new mouse you might try a newer kernel.18:28
xu-irc68wits an incredibly old mouse18:29
xu-irc68wlike, a decade old18:29
xu-irc68wlike i said, i cant even install the driver software since it doesnt run under linux18:29
xu-irc68wnever had problems with it and under windows it ran perfectly18:29
xu-irc68wany help is appreciated, i really cant game with this nonsense18:38
xu-irc68wanyone?18:47

sapientlionHello! I need some help with 20.04 release. I would like to upgrade to that version, but every time i run "do-release-upgrade" it returns "No new releases found". What's the issue here?22:42
well_laid_lawnfor 18.04lts the 20.04lts shouuld be available in une I believe22:44
well_laid_lawnfor 18.04lts the 20.04lts shouuld be available in June I believe22:44
sapientlionSorry, i didn't say which version i'm currently using: it's 19.10. Is it universal? Like 18.04 -> 20.04.1 and 19.10 -> 20.04.1?22:46
housecat19.10 -> 20.04 upgrades should be enabled rather sooner22:48
housecatin the meantime, sudo do-release-upgrade -d would work22:48
housecatit'll go on about it being a development version but it's not22:49
housecatbut yeah, they tend to wait a bit after release before doing upgrade enablement to shake out any bugs22:49
sapientlionInteresting. Thank you for your help!22:51
