| jdwwatts | something to do with /var/crash/ but i don't know how to fixit | 04:44 |
| diogenes_ | jdwwatts, click on 'report' and it will show you more details about the problem and take a screenshot. | 04:49 |
| jdwwatts | it just disappears | 04:52 |
| jdwwatts | maybe ill back up to a usb then reinstall from scratch | 04:53 |
| jdwwatts | I hate doing that | 04:54 |
| diogenes_ | yes you should have waited with upgrade till july, if you wanted 20.04 the as of right now i recommend reinstallation. | 04:56 |
| jdwwatts | would you recommend to install 20.04 from scratch or bionic beaver like i had | 04:59 |
| diogenes_ | jdwwatts, if your hardware runs well on 20.04 then go for it. | 05:01 |
| jdwwatts | ok | 05:01 |

| Belph | Hello, I have a fresh installation of Xubuntu 20.04 atm and can't manage to get a Wi-Fi hotspot to start. After creating a new network via "Create New Wi-Fi Network" I get a processing icon animation on the network-tray and can see the newly created network under my "Wi-Fi Network"s for a few seconds. The Network is even visible on my Phone for a | 06:27 |
| Belph | few seconds but then it just shuts off. | 06:27 |
| diogenes_ | Belph, run: nm-connection-editor | 06:31 |
| Belph | It has my created network under "Wi-Fi" there. | 06:32 |
| diogenes_ | click on network i con and pick 'connect to hidden wi-fi networks'. | 06:33 |
| Belph | There I am able to either create a new Network now or use my already created on. Should I make a new one? | 06:34 |
| diogenes_ | no, pick the existent one. | 06:35 |
| Belph | It showed the loading animation on the tray again and then I got a desktop notification saying "Disconnected - Wireless network" | 06:37 |
| Belph | I am able to create a hotspot with the same Wi-Fi adapter under Windows 10. | 06:46 |
| Belph | "Error: Connection activation failed: 802.1X supplicant took too long to authenticate" | 07:09 |
| Belph | Sorry, I clicked enter too fast. This appears to be the error when I try to start my Hotspot, I didn't mean to sent it at this moment. | 07:10 |
| Belph | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dzJjFhkj6q/ Other people with a similar problem reported having fixed the problem when removing additionally installed network managers but I don't think I have any besides network-manager and network-manager-gnome | 07:38 |
| Belph | I have also checked and the USB WiFi Adapter is marked as "Works out of the Box" on help.ubuntu :( N300 (F7D2101) | 08:06 |

| xu-help43w | Hello. I reset the display settings for a new monitor and now on reboot the monitor says "out of range". So I wiped the hard drive, reinstalled Bionic Beaver, and now I have no Desktop Manager and everything's in Command Line mode, which I don't understand. What commands do I give to install a Desktop Manager, and to reset the Display Settings, | 10:54 |
| xu-help43w | please? | 10:54 |
| Belph | You could try `sudo apt-get install xfce4` but I might rather try to reinstall once again sounds weird. Did you install xubuntu 18.04? | 10:57 |
| xu-help43w | Hello Belph. Just give me one second while I try that sudo line . . . | 10:58 |
| Belph | wait a sec | 10:58 |
| Belph | "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop" | 10:59 |
| xu-help43w | Ah! OK. | 10:59 |
| Belph | This second line I posted should be rather what you, I think. The first one would install xfce4 with all default apps and settings while the second should give you the default xubuntu desktop | 11:00 |
| xu-help43w | Installation of the second line is in progress . . . | 11:00 |
| xu-help43w | I used the Minimal CD as the full-package *.iso file would not boot. I thought the Minimal CD would draw in all the updates and basic features, and it came to a list of software, although it didn't indicate how to select more than one package, so i just chose audio editing, which is what the computer is wanted for. I'm new to Linux. | 11:03 |
| xu-help43w | Why don't they make a bootable *iso for the full package? | 11:03 |
| xu-help43w | The installation is going to be a long job : it's at 2%. | 11:04 |
| Belph | Did you try to install Ubuntu or Xubuntu? Xubuntu is functionally the same but looks different. | 11:04 |
| xu-help43w | Ah! Now. My tiny brain has not perceived the difference between Ubuntu, and Xubuntu, as the web sites look the same. I installed the Minimal CD at help.ubuntu.com.community/Installation/MinimalCD | 11:11 |
| Belph | The different between the default Ubuntu and Xubuntu is that they come with different Desktop Environments (how the user interface looks) and I think some minor differences in pre-installed software. But they are both Ubuntu and you can do exactly the same with both. I now gave you the command to install the default Xubuntu Desktop Environment which is called XFCE4. | 11:13 |
| xu-help43w | The DVD with the full package is Xubuntu. :O Oh dear. Confusion. The Minimal CD refers to Ubuntu, and the full package to Xubuntu. The Ubuntu page only listed 64-bit software, whereas the computer is 32-bit. So I am excused. | 11:13 |
| Belph | Xubuntu has a 32-bit version for 18.04, just like the default Ubuntu :D | 11:14 |
| xu-help43w | OK Belph. Thank you. It's plodding along. It's got to 28% now. Looks like I'll have to do some more reading and searching. I am desperate to make some audio recordings, and my usual desktop computer's CPU is gradually losing one core. The Realtek HD Audio channel is affected and just makes squeaks and clicks. | 11:16 |
| xu-help43w | I think I could give it more time. I am also looking for an alternative to the Microsoft maze of audio channel handling, where each window has another behind it on a separate menu. | 11:17 |
| Belph | I sadly can't assist in audio matters at all, I don't know anything about that. | 11:18 |
| xu-help43w | Thank you very much for your help Belph and I'll come back to the forum when the desktop has installed. (y) | 11:19 |
| xu-help32w | Hello. Difficulties with the desktop are solved. Is there a utility to list the chipset components, and the peripherals including audio? | 13:17 |
| lighterowl | xu-help32w: lspci? | 13:22 |
| lighterowl | xu-help32w: actually lspci -nn is a bit more useful, since it gives you the devices' PCI IDs. | 13:23 |
| xu-help82w | Hi, any linux gurus here? | 13:24 |
| xu-help32w | I am new to Linux by way of PL/1, BBC Basic, Acorn RISC-OS, and Windows. How do you get the command-line prompt from the desktop? =$ | 13:36 |
| xu-help32w | It's "Terminal", isn't it? Sorry. -_- | 13:37 |
| xu-help32w | I thought Terminal would be Telnet. I guess it's time for reading up . . . | 13:38 |
| xu-help32w | Thank you for the lspci. I have a list now. Goodbye. | 13:39 |
