[00:12] 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 [00:29] you might want to specify the bios version, too, then [00:29] journalctl -b | grep DMI: [00:40] Ah, ok, 1 minute [00:41] I'm on a different machine beside and no sshd there, so transcribing manually [00:43] DMI: ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.

[00:48] tomreyn: https://i.imgur.com/fIB5vGX.jpg ... the screen is filthy, sorry [00:49] The bios does have an "EZ Flash" option [00:49] right, that's what i described above [00:50] I wonder what the diferences in the two differently-dated 519 versions are [01:00] 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).

[11:24] i have tried changing themes and icons settings but does not seem to work [11:25] Wow!!! Sound is back! Thanks sooo much Diogenes! [11:25] saleem, was it an ugrade or fresh install? [11:26] fresh install [11:26] it seems something related to theme setting but i am unable to fix it to default looks [11:27] saleem, hmm i've never had that, i use Firefox. [11:27] firefox is normal [11:28] i mean colors on firefox are normal for me [11:41] What to do, when the amd-garbled-screen fix doesn't work on my machine 😕 === Perfec7 is now known as Perfec7-Ocupado [11:44] Sorry. It Works. Had troed [11:45] Had tried to run as sudo. That was and mistake === Perfec7-Ocupado is now known as Perfec7-Ausente [12:49] 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] I am told "can't read - permission denied. Hw do I get out of this mess? [12:53] MarekDomanski, on what username you currently are? [12:54] Hi diogenes. I am now on NEMO1 [12:56] MarekDomanski, then you need to download the files to NEMO1 not to nemo. [13:00] 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. [13:01] 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. [13:03] Great! What's the terminal command exactly for rename? [13:04] MarekDomanski, mv /home/nemo/.cache /home/nemo/.cache.old && mv /home/nemo/.config /home/nemo/.config.old [13:09] 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? [13:11] 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. [13:14] 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. [13:21] 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 :) [13:23] You really are Diogenes the philosopher. Thanks very much. [13:23] hehe you're welcome. [13:39] Diogenes, are you there? [13:40] yes [13:40] Sorry, I somehow lost the page Can you please repeat the mv cache and config command. [13:40] mv /home/nemo/.cache /home/nemo/.cache.old && mv /home/nemo/.config /home/nemo/.config.old [13:41] Thanks very much. [13:41] no problem [17:31] Hi guys, I´ve question.
