[00:38] <deadrom> tomreyn: if anyone ever comes up with a mess like mine, tell them: apt purge lightdm, apt install lightdm and if ~/.Xauthority and/or .ICEauthority belong to root:root for whatever reason, sudo chown user:user them and restart lightdm
[00:42] <deadrom> the purge / install cycle clears out old lightdm crud, don't ask me about details, and it seems the .*authority files are something that gets messed up when you install ubuntu over an exisitng installation and do a new / but keep /home, but that's only a theory right now
[00:46] <tomreyn> !xauthority | you mean this, deadrom?
[00:48] <deadrom> tomreyn: mmh no, I actually chmod'ed it.. follwoing advice here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop
[00:49] <tomreyn> probably the same root cause and symptom, though
[00:49] <tomreyn> where "root" in "root cause" is verbatim
[05:25] <jdwwatts> i messed up my upgrade from the command line and I m able to use everything but get a system problem do i want to report it message
[05:26] <jdwwatts> Any Ideas of How I might get back on track
[07:29] <xu-help48w> Hello
[07:29] <xu-help48w> Is someone there?
[07:57] <pj1907> Hi, anyone around'
[07:57] <pj1907> ?
[07:59] <diogenes_> !ask
[08:01] <pj1907> I have a problem using skype on my asus laptop. I have installed the last skype version 8.5.0.77 but MIc, speakers, an cam not working. On the same laptop xubu 16.04 (same skype version) all is working well
[08:02] <pj1907> kernel on 20.04 is 5.4.0-28 , on 16.04 is 4.4.0-177
[08:03] <diogenes_> pj1907, try cam in guvcview and mic in pavucontrol.
[08:04] <pj1907> bot working
[08:04] <pj1907> both
[08:04] <diogenes_> look in skype settings then.
[08:05] <pj1907> Did of course
[08:07] <diogenes_> did you upgrade Xubuntu or reinstalled?
[08:08] <pj1907> fresh installation
[08:08] <pj1907> I'm actually running both versions in dual boot
[08:13] <diogenes_> strange
[08:15] <pj1907> I know.. That's why I'm writing here. It has to be somethingh related to 20.04 because exactly the same skype version on 16.04 is running smoothly
[08:15] <diogenes_> maybe some bug but if you absolutely need skype you can use google chrome skype extension.
[08:18] <pj1907> Is there an extension to install in Chrome (Chromium for me) ? I give a look...
[08:22] <diogenes_> yes look for skype in chrome webstore.
[08:25] <pj1907> Insalled but extension is not supporting video or vocal calls... -_-
[08:27] <diogenes_> are you sure it's chrome?
[08:28] <pj1907> It's Chromium
[08:30] <diogenes_> try chrome
[08:31] <pj1907> I do not think It'll make any difference, But I try
[08:37] <pj1907> With Chrome is working ...
[08:38] <pj1907> even no extension is needed
[08:38] <diogenes_> told you.
[08:39] <pj1907> Yes I have to admit (y)
[08:41] <pj1907> So the problem is definitely re. to xubu 20.04...kernel?
[08:44] <diogenes_> pj1907, no, if it was kernel then no cam or mic will work, problem is in skypa package.
[08:45] <pj1907> But exactly same skype version on 16.04 is working...
[08:46] <diogenes_> pj1907, yes they need to update skype to work with the newest Xubuntu libraries.
[08:50] <pj1907> How is it working? Is any xubu developer to advise the skype team about the issue, or what? Just curious...
[08:51] <diogenes_> pj1907, skype is proprietary you are at the mercy of ms.
[08:56] <pj1907> I know, but considering thet linux is now supported at some level in MS, they just do not know that there is an issue on 20.04... Anyway let's wait.  Thanks for the support (y) ;D
[08:57] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[09:14] <lighterowl> people really amuse me at times
 where "root" in "root cause" is verbatim <- well possible, but not my manual intervention. some setup process, I think. I'll see if I can reproduce in a VM
[13:55] <zzjfhdjnijyfdfnx> hello
[13:56] <zzjfhdjnijyfdfnx> Hola!
[14:08] <tomreyn> deadrom: i think you started X as root (or with sudo) at some point, which would have caused this situation.
[14:08] <tomreyn> it doesn't help trying to find out whether or thwen this happened, though. i'm just pointing this out to explain why it should be prevented.
[14:09] <zzjfhdjnijyfdfnx> Son mudo ahora e?
[14:09] <zzjfhdjnijyfdfnx> llegó la cena baby!

[14:27] <ElSujeto> Aleluya!
[14:28] <ElSujeto> See, I have a CSR Bluetooth dongle.

[14:32] <ElSujeto> Any ideas?
[14:33] <diogenes_> !patience | ElSujeto
[15:44] <tomreyn> ElSujeto: you didn'T actually seem to ask a question, not in the channel language (english) and while you weren't muted (for pressing enter too often in a short period) anyways.
[15:44] <JohnnyonFlame> Hello, is there any way to fix the issue with contextual menus showing up in a different monitor than the one focused by the pointer?
[15:46] <ElSujeto> tom tom, I asked. nobody replied. you dont seem to be reading
[15:49] <JohnnyonFlame> huh, seems to be an issue with wine, telling it to not decorate windows seems to have fixed or worked around it
[16:20] <xubuntu_user> Is there a recommended way to upload from 18.04 to 20.04? software & updates has not notified yet, and sudo apt dist-upgrade is not triggering anything. Thank you!
[16:28] <brainwash> xubuntu_user: is there any reason why you want to upgrade now?
[16:29] <brainwash> the upgrade route will be unlocked with the 20.04.1 release
[16:30] <xubuntu_user> brainwash, just the usual, I've back up my system, and want to try out the new release.
[16:35] <brainwash> xubuntu_user: so, maybe this is the way then: sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[16:36] <xubuntu_user> brainwash - ok, I will give that a try, thank you.
[17:18] <deadrom> tomreyn: could even be, but then the situation was borked already. Well, ok. Next time I'll have better deconflicting ammo.
[19:19] <Hamilton> Does 20.04 also have this snap preference?
[19:20] <krytarik> Depends on what you mean by "preference" and "also"
[19:21] <Hamilton> krytarik, Is Ubuntu 20.04 some how snap is forced (w.r.t apt)
[20:02] <krytarik> Hamilton: So everything considered, it merely comes down to "Ubuntu Software is now shipped as a Snap package itself" really?
[20:03] <Hamilton> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23052108
[20:06]  * lighterowl launches snapchat and makes some snaps.
[20:06] <krytarik> Snappy!
[22:29] <karlos34> thaks
[22:29] <karlos34> n
[23:51] <xubuntu-user> brainwash thanks for the upgrade tip. It took a little coaxing but I finally got the packages to all install. the new release is *noticeably* faster than 18.04, desktop feels a lot snappier.
[23:53] <TheMaster> ...Huh, odd.
