[00:13] <abtm> Unit193 - thank you for the tip (I saw it and saved it).
[00:14] <Unit193> Great!
[00:16] <abtm> whats weird is I spun up 2 other xubuntu VMs and tested connecting with xrdp and got the xubuntu look and feel with some minor differences
[00:16] <abtm> the settings menu item is at the top instead of 2nd from the bottom
[00:17] <jdwwatts> im still trying to fix this update attempt.    this screen shot shows the message at bootup https://imgur.com/8GLCzU3.png
[00:18] <Unit193> Looks like your icon theme is broken.  Did you look at the crash?  More info would be in /var/crash/
[00:19] <jdwwatts> is that with xterm
[00:22] <jdwwatts> ok so how do I get to look at that directory ?
[00:23] <jdwwatts> and what do I do next ?
[00:24] <jdwwatts> yes since my last atemt to update the icons mostly disapeared exept thunderbird mail box still is the same
[01:50] <turbokitty> hi brainwash
[01:50] <turbokitty> o wrong room nm
[04:19] <jdwwatts> anyone know what this means

[04:23] <well_laid_lawn> jdwwatts: I've never seen that before
[04:23] <well_laid_lawn> did you see what happens when you click report ?
[04:23] <Andrio> I used to see it every time I booted the OS
[04:24] <Unit193> well_laid_lawn: It happens if there's a crash report sitting in /var/crash/
[04:25] <jdwwatts> how do i fix it ?
[04:40] <jdwwatts> nothing
[04:42] <jdwwatts> hello diogenes im still stuck trying that upgrade
[04:42] <jdwwatts> https://imgur.com/B8z2MhO.png
[04:44] <jdwwatts> something to do with /var/crash/ but i don't know how to fixit
[04:49] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, click on 'report' and it will show you more details about the problem and take a screenshot.
[04:52] <jdwwatts> it just disappears
[04:53] <jdwwatts> maybe ill back up to a usb then reinstall from scratch
[04:54] <jdwwatts> I hate doing that
[04:56] <diogenes_> yes you should have waited with upgrade till july, if you wanted 20.04 the as of right now i recommend reinstallation.
[04:59] <jdwwatts> would you recommend to install 20.04 from scratch or bionic beaver like i had
[05:01] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, if your hardware runs well on 20.04 then go for it.
[05:01] <jdwwatts> ok
[05:03] <jdwwatts> I apreciate the help
[05:03] <diogenes_> no problem.
[06:27] <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.
[06:31] <diogenes_> Belph, run: nm-connection-editor
[06:32] <Belph> It has my created network under "Wi-Fi" there.
[06:33] <diogenes_> click on network i con and pick 'connect to hidden wi-fi networks'.
[06:34] <Belph> There I am able to either create a new Network now or use my already created on. Should I make a new one?
[06:35] <diogenes_> no, pick the existent one.
[06:37] <Belph> It showed the loading animation on the tray again and then I got a desktop notification saying "Disconnected - Wireless network"
[06:46] <Belph> I am able to create a hotspot with the same Wi-Fi adapter under Windows 10.
[07:09] <Belph> "Error: Connection activation failed: 802.1X supplicant took too long to authenticate"
[07:10] <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.
[07:38] <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
[08:06] <Belph> I have also checked and the USB WiFi Adapter is marked as "Works out of the Box" on help.ubuntu :(  N300 (F7D2101)
[08:37] <xu-irc83w> Hi, I've got an issue with my micropĥone. The front input doesn't work (ok for rear input; ok for micro itself ; ok for front output...). Does anyone have an idea ? (xubuntu 20.04)
[08:38] <xu-irc83w> some informations :
[08:38] <xu-irc83w> cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [HDMI           ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfcf60000 irq 68 1 [Generic        ]: HDA-Intel - HD-Audio Generic                      HD-Audio Generic at 0xfce00000 irq 70

[10:54] <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?
[10:57] <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?
[10:58] <xu-help43w> Hello Belph. Just give me one second while I try that sudo line . . .
[10:58] <Belph> wait a sec
[10:59] <Belph> "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop"
[10:59] <xu-help43w> Ah! OK.
[11:00] <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 . . .
[11:03] <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?
[11:04] <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.
[11:11] <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
[11:13] <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.
[11:14] <Belph> Xubuntu has a 32-bit version for 18.04, just like the default Ubuntu :D
[11:16] <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.
[11:17] <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.
[11:18] <Belph> I sadly can't assist in audio matters at all, I don't know anything about that.
[11:19] <xu-help43w> Thank you very much for your help Belph and I'll come back to the forum when the desktop has installed. (y)
[13:17] <xu-help32w> Hello. Difficulties with the desktop are solved. Is there a utility to list the chipset components, and the peripherals including audio?
[13:22] <lighterowl> xu-help32w: lspci?
[13:23] <lighterowl> xu-help32w: actually lspci -nn is a bit more useful, since it gives you the devices' PCI IDs.
[13:24] <xu-help82w> Hi, any linux gurus here?
[13:36] <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? =$
[13:37] <xu-help32w> It's "Terminal", isn't it? Sorry. -_-
[13:38] <xu-help32w> I thought Terminal would be Telnet. I guess it's time for reading up . . .
[13:39] <xu-help32w> Thank you for the lspci. I have a list now. Goodbye.
[15:41] <jdwwatts> is there a usb iso image bootloader out there i can use to do a clean install of xubuntu 20.04
[15:43] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, what?
[15:43] <xu-help91w> recently upgraded 18.04 to 20.04 and unable to unlock screen. i prefer xscreensaver over xfce4-screensaver, but i see both starting. i've already attempted to disable xfce4-ss in the sessions editor, but it keeps being added again.
[15:45] <diogenes_> xu-help91w, look in settings > settings editor > xfce4-session > SaveOnExit is it checked on?
[15:45] <jdwwatts> well I want to install the new xubuntu on this lap top and scince I can't seem to get it done through the command line whats the next step ?
[15:46] <xu-help91w> is there a cmd-line way to see that?
[15:47] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, download the iso and write it to usb drive.
[15:47] <jdwwatts> thanks illtry that
[15:47] <jdwwatts> space
[15:48] <diogenes_> xu-help91w, why command line?
[15:49] <geblina> please looking for some good music player for xubuntu
[15:50] <brainwash> xu-help91w: you could simply uninstall xfce4-screensaver
[15:50] <geblina> so that it is not too demanding on the ram
[15:50] <diogenes_> geblina, i like DeaDBeef.
[15:53] <xu-help91w> brainwash ++ removed the package
[16:00] <geblina> thanks
[16:00] <geblina> deadbeef super
[16:01] <diogenes_> geblina, you can make it look like any player you want.
[16:06] <geblina> ok
[16:17] <geblina> nějaký čech?
[16:52] <geblina> super twitter client for xubuntu please
[16:53] <diogenes_> firefox
[16:54] <geblina> ok
[17:07] <sorinello> Hello. I am still not propmted to update to 20.04 when I run sudo do-release-upgrade. Any idea if this is normal, and tehe release has no been rolled out yet ?
[17:13] <gnrp> sorinello: Why would it not be normal? Upgrade via the command line is supposed to work already afaik
[17:14] <gnrp> sorinello: The new version has been rooled out already
[17:19] <Guest32293> hi
[17:19] <sorinello> gnrp, yes, it works if I use the -d flag. otherwise, no new release found
[17:19] <Guest32293> i have i HUGE issue. Im using Xubuntu on my Huawei Matebook, and when i plug in hdmi cable to external monitor, my screen goes crazy! it splits in 4 pieces and becomes unsuable.
[17:20] <Guest32293> When i pull out the HDMI cable, the screen goes back to normal but i cant click on anything so i have to reboot my computer to use it
[17:21] <jdwwatts> Well I got help here and as far as i can tell I am Running 20.04 but there were some issues
[17:24] <jdwwatts> i tried downloading the iso and have done so but its been a while since i did that last time i had to find some tool to make the iso bootable so im still running this upgraded of partially up graded system everything seems to work
[17:26] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, insert a usb drive.
[17:26] <jdwwatts> done that it presently has the old iso
[17:27] <Guest32293> diogenes_:  do you have a sollution to my problem?
[17:27] <diogenes_> now go to Downloads where the new iso is.
[17:27] <jdwwatts> ok
[17:28] <Guest32293> diogenes_:  i have i HUGE issue. Im using Xubuntu on my Huawei Matebook, and when i plug in hdmi cable to external monitor, my screen goes crazy! it splits in 4 pieces and becomes unsuable.
[17:28] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, right click on the free space and pick 'opne terminal here'.
[17:29] <jdwwatts> ok
[17:29] <jdwwatts> term says downloads
[17:29] <diogenes_> Guest32293, look in settings > Display
[17:29] <Guest32293> yeah ive done that. My screen goes crazy..
[17:30] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, ok now the command i'll give you will destroy all the data on the usb drive, are you ok with that?
[17:30] <jdwwatts> yes
[17:30] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, first run this command: lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:30] <diogenes_> share the link here.
[17:31] <jdwwatts> https://termbin.com/o8o5
[17:32] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, now run: ls | grep xubuntu | nc termin.com 9999
[17:32] <diogenes_> share
[17:34] <jdwwatts> this comand hasn't returned anything yet
[17:34] <diogenes_> oh wait my bad
[17:34] <diogenes_> ls | grep xubuntu | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:34] <diogenes_> this ^^^
[17:35] <jdwwatts> https://termbin.com/40ax
[17:36] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, ok now run this command but extremely careful to type the exact command: sudo cp xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdb
[17:37] <diogenes_> careful it MUST be /dev/sdb
[17:38] <jdwwatts> can i copy and paste
[17:38] <diogenes_> yes but wait, i'll give an improved command, this one: sudo cp xubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso /dev/sdb && sync
[17:40] <jdwwatts> should this take awhile ?
[17:41] <diogenes_> yes, like 5-7 minutes till you see the username in the terminal.
[17:41] <jdwwatts> ok
[17:42] <jdwwatts> its done
[17:45] <jdwwatts> ok looks like there is a 20.04 iso on the usb drive now
[17:46] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, be careful if you install, it will erase everything on your pc.
[17:46] <diogenes_> literally everything.
[18:04] <pgpfox> diogenes_:  the issue is with the resolution, i get it to work with 1920 x 1080, but when i set it to 3440 x 1440 my screen goes crazy
[18:04] <pgpfox> How do i solve this?
[18:04] <pgpfox> i have AMD graphics card
[18:07] <diogenes_> pgpfox, i've got very little experience with external monitors so sorry can't recommend anything.
[18:07] <pgpfox> okey i understand.. :/
[18:08] <pgpfox> anybody else??
[18:08] <pgpfox> I use Huawei Matebook, Xubuntu, AMD graphic card, plugged through HDMI. Screen goes crazy when set to 3440 x 1440
[18:13] <gnrp> pgpfox: What is crazy?
[18:14] <pgpfox> gnrp:  my screen splits in to four pieces
[18:14] <pgpfox> like tearings
[18:14] <pgpfox> but consistant
[18:15] <gnrp> pgpfox: I don't really have anything in mind. You could make an image with your phone and upload it somewhere maybe
[18:15] <gnrp> anyway, what GPU driver do you use?
[18:16] <gnrp> pgpfox: Do `lsmod | grep amdgpu` please and paste it somewhere
[18:16] <gnrp> !paste
[18:17] <pgpfox> gnrp: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/qCxpYBh4Mf/
[18:19] <gnrp> pgpfox: Hm, that looks right actually
[18:19] <gnrp> what does xrandr output?
[18:19] <pgpfox> dont know what xrandr is
[18:20] <gnrp> pgpfox: Btw, how do these resolutions scale? 1920x1080 does nto really scale up to 3440x1440?
[18:20] <gnrp> it is a command. Just enter it on the command line
[18:21] <pgpfox> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/BvnkfvDCtN/
[18:21] <pgpfox> gnrp: ^
[18:23] <pgpfox> gnrp: https://imgur.com/a/niTDt8Z
[18:24] <gnrp> pgpfox: Aaah,w ait. Please also run the command `lspci` and paste the output
[18:24]  * gnrp always wants to write phpfox...
[18:26] <pgpfox> gnrp:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/CPZDKt7nqC/
[18:30] <gnrp> pgpfox: You are running 20.04?
[18:30] <pgpfox> gnrp:  yes
[18:31] <gnrp> pgpfox: tbh, no clue, difficult to debug.
[18:32] <gnrp> Maybe you can try the radeon driver (not amdgpu)
[18:32] <pgpfox> i have no clue how to do that
[18:32] <pgpfox> :x
[18:32] <jdwwatts> ok im done install
[18:41] <pgpfox> i think i might have to downgrade to 19.04
[19:02] <gnrp> pgpfox: Did you try the radeon driveR?
[19:02] <gnrp> ah, sorry, didn't read
[19:06] <gnrp> pgpfox: Here you find how to use the radeon driver instead of amdgpu (although the thread makes it the other way round): https://askubuntu.com/questions/927601/i-think-im-using-radeon-instead-of-amdgpu-how-do-i-change
[19:38] <tlrrd> Hi, an asus ux330ua laptop, fresh xubuntu 20.04 install. when I reopen the lip after a suspend, the mouse moves but I'm unable to click on anything. dropping to an Alt-f1 console I tried DISPLAY=:0 xkill on a hunch, and got "unable to grab cursor", which I've not seen before.
[19:38] <tlrrd> doing sudo service lightdm restart fixes it.... while destroying my session (which says to my mind that it is not the touchpad driver).
[19:40]  * tlrrd finds a charger and hopes suspend doesn't kick in while waiting...
[19:43] <jdwwatts> I'm running the fresh version along side the old one is there a comand to copy the files or do I need to
[20:22] <xu-help70w> hi people i can't figure where else to ask when 20.04 will be in software updater (or if it is already)
[20:23] <xu-help70w> i have 18.04.4
[20:27] <genii> !ltsupgrade
[20:29] <xu-help70w> such a sensible policy, i approve 100%
[20:39] <jdwwatts> i am running them side by side the upgrade comand would have probably worked if I hadn't stopped the process
[20:43] <xu-help70w> nnnh "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" sez "upgrades to dev release only available from latest supported release"

[21:25] <ipkh> Hello, I need some help.  When I leave my system unattended it locks the screen and pauses my Folding@Home Client. It locked the screen in 18.04 but didn't send the pause command to the folding at home service.
[21:28] <ipkh> I have turned off all the power saving settings I could find.
