| Xarizzar | Uh, hello. I wanted to ask something. Greybird-dark on the gtk-common-themes snap is only available on XUbuntu 20.04? I'm using 18.04 and I installed that via snap, but I can't find Greybird-Dark... Sorry if this doesn't belong here, I'm kinda new to IRC (;・∀・) | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| krytarik | Xarizzar: Yes, indeed. | 00:20 |
| Xarizzar | Hmm. I guess I'll get it when 20.04.1 releases then. Thank you for your time | 00:23 |

| Bashing-om | !sound | hyfly | 02:39 |
| ubottu | hyfly: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:39 |

| rami | hello | 05:30 |
| rami | i am a newbie in linux, i just run xubuntu for the first time using a DOK, and when i try to open the filemanager i get an error | 05:30 |
| rami | failed to executre default file manger | 05:30 |
| rami | failed to execute child process /usr/bin/thunar (input/output error) | 05:31 |
| diogenes_ | rami, what is DOK? | 05:32 |
| rami | disk-on-key | 05:32 |
| rami | i tried going into terminal and running "sudo thunar", but same error | 05:32 |
| rami | using ubuntu or lubuntu everything works, so i think it has some bug with xubuntu probably? | 05:33 |
| rami | or maybe i need to fix something here? | 05:33 |
| rami | the error in ther terminal is: sudo: unable to execute /usr/bin/thunar: Input/output error | 05:34 |
| diogenes_ | disk-on-key is that a usb drive? | 05:34 |
| rami | ha, yes, usb drive | 05:35 |
| diogenes_ | Input/output error means there is a problem with the usb drive. | 05:36 |
| rami | its the same drive i worked with, also using the ubuntu, and lubuntu | 05:37 |
| rami | i didnt get any errors with them | 05:37 |
| diogenes_ | and it's the first time i hear disk-on-key. | 05:37 |
| rami | yeah, that's the name we use here in israel, probably a local nick for the usb drive | 05:37 |
| rami | :) | 05:37 |
| rami | so it must be an error with the usb drive? should i try to format it again with the xubuntu iso? | 05:38 |
| diogenes_ | rami, it's damaged, or ISO wasn't written properly so format it. | 05:39 |
| rami | i'll try to format it again | 05:39 |
| rami | thanks mate(y) | 05:39 |
| rami | (y) | 05:39 |
| diogenes_ | np | 05:40 |
| Rami | so, i just wanted to update, i formatted again, now the system work fine | 05:52 |
| Rami | thanks again (y) | 05:52 |

| Stabington | Is there a simple way to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected? | 14:25 |
| gnrp | Stabington: Try out synclient | 14:33 |
| gnrp | I guess you would have to script that yourself though | 14:33 |
| Stabington | lovely | 14:34 |
| gnrp | Stabington: You can also do it non-automatically via the settings, though | 15:02 |

| UrbanBushCraft | experts - I am looking for the quickest/simplest way to enable RDP in XUbuntu 20.04. It is a virgin install and I want to connect from OSX workstation, but also other [x]ubuntu systems. any pointers appreciated as there is lots of "old" posts/blogs etc | 16:55 |
| abtm76 | follow this guide | 16:56 |
| abtm76 | https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjkuojA1prpAhUZK80KHU4jA7sQFjAAegQIAxAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Flinuxconfig.org%2Fubuntu-20-04-remote-desktop-access-from-windows-10&usg=AOvVaw1n6Lz-LotgdnCFpQGvyB-F | 16:56 |
| abtm76 | for linux try using remmina as a client and not usre what to use from OSx. if there is a native app try that first | 16:56 |
| abtm76 | I hate that google obscures the actual url to force you back through their system | 16:57 |
| abtm76 | actual url: https://linuxconfig.org/ubuntu-20-04-remote-desktop-access-from-windows-10 | 16:57 |
| abtm76 | its updated for 20.04 | 16:57 |
| abtm76 | I was able to get xrdp working fine | 16:58 |
| abtm76 | only issue I am seeing is that when I connect it starts an xfce4 session without the xubuntu customizations | 16:59 |
| abtm76 | which is still usable but annoying and I would like to figure out cause | 16:59 |
| abtm76 | UrbanBushCraft did that link give you what you needed? | 17:21 |
| abtm76 | I have a weird xrdp situation. first I am trying to rdp to an xubuntu machine (not logged in). I connect, but instead of the xubuntu customized xfce4 desktop. I am shown the vanilla xfce4 desktop. However, when I log in locally though I do see the xubuntu desktop instead. any suggestions on where to look/troubleshoot? Thanks | 18:49 |
| UrbanBushCraft | thanks @abtm76 - I hate google too ;-) | 18:57 |
| brainwash | abtm76: I would compare the environmental variables | 19:35 |
| abtm76 | good thought | 19:37 |
| abtm76 | thank you | 19:37 |
| abtm76 | XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is different and XDG_SESSION_PATH is missing from rdp | 19:44 |
| dio | . | 20:54 |
| Unit193 | abtm76: Set XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=xubuntu before running startxfce4. My ~/.xinitrc looks like: http://paste.openstack.org/show/ibW4oNzU9FFhxZBYW7Mr, and I have /usr/local/bin/startxubuntu with http://paste.openstack.org/show/7gzslkolR6gEwKyM55cs for if I want to use x2go. | 21:40 |
| turbokitty | is snap absolute nessecary for xubuntu? | 22:08 |
| Unit193 | If you use chromium or lxd, yes. | 22:08 |
| sm0rux | Unit193: That's why I stay away from Chromium and lxd :) | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | sm0rux: Does the new software thingy come as a snap now? | 22:20 |
| sm0rux | Don't know. I've uninstalled snapd. Still on 18.04. Maybe that doesn't work in 20.04? | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | I'm sure you can still, might have to use synaptic but that's a feature not a bug. :P | 22:23 |
| Unit193 | turbokitty: So I'd say yes. | 22:23 |
| sm0rux | Unit193: I really prefer to install from repos. Why? I'm more comfortable to do it that way. | 22:25 |
| Unit193 | sm0rux: You don't have to push that argument to me, I have not nor will I use snaps nor flatpaks. I will package it if need be though. | 22:25 |
| sm0rux | :) | 22:28 |
| xu-irc47w | what is the system requirements for xubuntu? | 23:30 |
| Unit193 | What do you have? | 23:30 |
| xu-irc47w | I have a pentium 4 1.7ghz | 23:31 |
| xu-irc47w | 256mb ram | 23:31 |
| xu-irc47w | 80gb IDE hdd | 23:31 |
| genii | Pretty sure P4 is 32bit | 23:31 |
| xu-irc47w | mhm | 23:31 |
| xu-irc47w | Its a Willamette p4 btw | 23:31 |
| Unit193 | Basically what you want to consider is what you'll be running, if all you want to do is irc and read email via alpine or something then you won't need as much if you use libreoffice and firefox. However P4 is 32bit and 256ram isn't enough. | 23:31 |
| xu-irc47w | oh | 23:32 |
| xu-irc47w | I heard xubuntu has a 32 bit image | 23:32 |
| genii | For 18.04, but not for 20.04 | 23:33 |
| xu-irc47w | oh | 23:33 |
| Unit193 | No deriv of Ubuntu has them post 20.04 | 23:33 |
| lighterowl | yeah, i386 as a host platform is now dead when it comes to Ubuntu. | 23:33 |
| Unit193 | Regardless, you won't be running firefox or chromium on 256M | 23:33 |
| genii | Unit193: I think Lubuntu is the last haldout | 23:33 |
| genii | *holdout | 23:33 |
| Unit193 | genii: The archive isn't there, Lubuntu can't. | 23:33 |
| xu-irc47w | welp imma go freeBSD then | 23:34 |
| Unit193 | That's an interesting fallback, fwiw Debian also...Oh. | 23:34 |
| lighterowl | yeah | 23:35 |
| lighterowl | I use Debian on my very very old Pentium M laptop. | 23:35 |
| Unit193 | Oooh, are you one of the lucky ones where the Pentium M reports PAE? | 23:36 |
| lighterowl | yes :) | 23:37 |
| Unit193 | Same, though I don't really use it as a desktop. | 23:38 |
| lighterowl | I hardly ever boot that laptop, I usually don't have a reason to. | 23:39 |
| lighterowl | I mostly just fire it up every few months to update the system, but that's about it. | 23:39 |
| lighterowl | tried installing Windows 10 on it today for fun, but even the installer didn't want to run. :( | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | Requires EFI and 64bit no? | 23:39 |
| Unit193 | Though, this isn't really on topic for #xubuntu. | 23:40 |
| lighterowl | nah, it's still installable on ordinary 32-bit BIOS systems. the installer launched but crapped out with a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. I guess that particular laptop must have an exotic combination of I/O resources or something like that. tried fiddling around with BIOS and disabling almost every builtin device, but that still didn't work. | 23:41 |
| lighterowl | Unit193: okay, I'm shutting up now. :) | 23:41 |
