| genii | Mostly for people looking through IRC logs: ASUS laptop model X555D idiosyncrasy which locks up the mouse buttons on XFCE based desktops after periods of inactivity can be solved with kernel boot options combination of: acpi_osi=1 acpi_osi='Windows 2010' tsc=unstable clocksource=hpet | 00:12 |

| tomreyn | you might want to specify the bios version, too, then | 00:29 |
| tomreyn | journalctl -b | grep DMI: | 00:29 |
| genii | Ah, ok, 1 minute | 00:40 |
| genii | I'm on a different machine beside and no sshd there, so transcribing manually | 00:41 |
| genii | DMI: ASUSTek COMPUTER INC. X555DA/X555DA, BIOS X555DA.519 02/01/2016 | 00:43 |
| tomreyn | Version 605 2019/06/03 https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X555DA/HelpDesk_BIOS/ | 00:44 |
| tomreyn | Version 519 2016/03/17 is what you have | 00:45 |
| tomreyn | this bios should be capable of self-upgrading, so you should be able to place the update file on fat32 formatted first partition (MBR partition table) on a usb stick, plugin the usb stick, reboot, enter bios, run the upgrade. | 00:47 |
| genii | tomreyn: https://i.imgur.com/fIB5vGX.jpg ... the screen is filthy, sorry | 00:48 |
| genii | The bios does have an "EZ Flash" option | 00:49 |
| tomreyn | right, that's what i described above | 00:49 |
| genii | I wonder what the diferences in the two differently-dated 519 versions are | 00:50 |
| tomreyn | genii: none. the date you see on your DMI: line is when it was produced, the date on the download page is when it was released (or when QA tests had completed rather). | 01:00 |
| genii | tomreyn: Interesting, thanks! | 01:01 |
| tomreyn | you're welcome. | 01:01 |

| diogenes_ | xu-help61w, not /config but /.config with a dot. | 09:59 |
| xu-help61w | Sorry I did put in the dot and it returned with the dot too. | 10:02 |

| xu-help61w | diogenes, ls ~/.config | nc termbin.com 9999 returns no such directory | 11:14 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help61w, that's impossible, open Thunar file manager. | 11:15 |

| diogenes_ | xu-help61w, now hit: ctrl+h to see the hidden folders, do you see the .config folder there? | 11:17 |
| xu-help61w | Yes. | 11:17 |
| diogenes_ | enter the .config folder and find there pulse folder, right click on pulse folder > rename change it's name to pulse.bak, accept the changes. | 11:18 |
| xu-help61w | Done. | 11:19 |

| saleem | how can i fix this issue | 11:24 |
| diogenes_ | xu-help61w, now see in that .config folder, it shoult have created a new pulse folder so you should have pulse and pulse.bak. | 11:24 |
| saleem | i have tried changing themes and icons settings but does not seem to work | 11:24 |
| xu-help61w | Wow!!! Sound is back! Thanks sooo much Diogenes! | 11:25 |
| diogenes_ | saleem, was it an ugrade or fresh install? | 11:25 |
| saleem | fresh install | 11:26 |
| saleem | it seems something related to theme setting but i am unable to fix it to default looks | 11:26 |
| diogenes_ | saleem, hmm i've never had that, i use Firefox. | 11:27 |
| saleem | firefox is normal | 11:27 |

| MarekDomanski | I have just upgraded from Xubuntu 19.10 to 20.04. To effect the upgrade I had to create a new user. Otherwise the desktop remained the same. Unfortunately I now have two directories in Home: nemo (the original with data) and NEMO1. After doing a chmod 777 nemo I can now access my files. However when I try to download files from yahoo mail to nemo, | 12:49 |
| MarekDomanski | I am told "can't read - permission denied. Hw do I get out of this mess? | 12:49 |
| diogenes_ | MarekDomanski, on what username you currently are? | 12:53 |
| MarekDomanski | Hi diogenes. I am now on NEMO1 | 12:54 |
| diogenes_ | MarekDomanski, then you need to download the files to NEMO1 not to nemo. | 12:56 |
| MarekDomanski | OK, but all my files are on nemo. I suppose that means I have to move all my files to NEMO1. OK I can do that. Can I safely remove the user nemo after that? So difficult to upgrade in Xubutu. | 13:00 |
| diogenes_ | MarekDomanski, no need for all that madness, you can just rename the .cache and .config folders in nemo and you gonna have everything fresh and new and default. | 13:01 |
| MarekDomanski | Great! What's the terminal command exactly for rename? | 13:03 |
| diogenes_ | MarekDomanski, mv /home/nemo/.cache /home/nemo/.cache.old && mv /home/nemo/.config /home/nemo/.config.old | 13:04 |
| MarekDomanski | This is basically making my nemo cache an config files invisible ie. removing them. I think I woud have to move my files first. Or. am I wrong? | 13:09 |
| diogenes_ | no, it won't touch any of your data, it just renames those 2 folders so when you log back in as nemo, the system will create the new default configs. | 13:11 |
| MarekDomanski | Ah, so I abandon the new username and go back to nemo, and I will get the new desktop? So I didn't really have to create a new user. Somebody told me I had to. | 13:14 |
| diogenes_ | MarekDomanski, it was i who told you to create a new user but it was for testing purpose and yes, after you run that command, you can go back to that old user and have a happy life :) | 13:21 |
| MarekDomanski | You really are Diogenes the philosopher. Thanks very much. | 13:23 |
| diogenes_ | hehe you're welcome. | 13:23 |
| MarekDomanski91 | Diogenes, are you there? | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 13:40 |
| MarekDomanski91 | Sorry, I somehow lost the page Can you please repeat the mv cache and config command. | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | mv /home/nemo/.cache /home/nemo/.cache.old && mv /home/nemo/.config /home/nemo/.config.old | 13:40 |
| MarekDomanski91 | Thanks very much. | 13:41 |

| OneBigBlueDot | well_laid_lawn free -m shows a total of 2950 MB | 22:59 |
| OneBigBlueDot | I find it curious that 2950 MB show up because the 4 GB I installed on this machine are 2 x 2 GB RAM. So 2950 MB is actually more than a single 2 GB DIM ... what's going on here?! | 23:03 |
