[00:00] <akko> tomreyn: latest
[00:00] <akko> afaik
[00:00] <akko> just downloaded it and installed it
[00:01] <Unit193> `lsb_release -a` if you don't know.
[00:01] <akko> i can barely watch youtube videos XD
[00:01] <akko> but it won't get any better i guess
[00:01] <akko> 18.04
[00:01] <Unit193> ..Not that it helps, but mpv+youtube-dl could help with youtube videos specifically.  OK, yeah that's not at all the latest. :)
[00:01] <akko> yea XD
[00:02] <akko> its the one i downloaded from xubuntu.com
[00:03] <akko> watching it with mpv would help but i don't think i'll be able to teach a 60yo how to do that XD
[00:03] <Unit193> Fair point, I missed that bit.
[00:04] <akko> im not sure what she plans on doing with this tbh, but wew
[03:21] <doubledutch> Good evening
[03:21] <doubledutch> I'm apparently a Xubuntu user now and I absolutely love it.
[03:21] <doubledutch> I've been linux'ing for about 22 years
[03:22] <doubledutch> I had a small set of requirements for a project - figured since the HDD in my laptop is the same as something we will be using for the project, it would be perfect...
[03:23] <doubledutch> There were some contenders, but Xubuntu being 32-bit (18.04), able to see mmc storage, able to see our scratchbuilt wireless cards flawlessly, just works
[03:23] <doubledutch> Thanks all
[03:23] <akko>  if you don't need support i think you'd be better off sharing your experiences in #xubuntu-offtopic XD
[03:23] <doubledutch> Thanks!
[06:17] <xu-help64w> Hello, I'm having a problem with the lock screen....it keeps locking me out after two minutes even though the settings are set to "never"
[06:19] <xu-help64w> Can anyone help me out?
[08:11] <jarnos> I wonder why xfce4-screensaver is started even if I have unselected it in Sessions and Startup dialog in 20.04?
[08:20] <brainwash> jarnos: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16223
[08:38] <jarnos> Ok, so developers took away possibility to choose which of the installed screensavers to use and press to use the buggy xfce one.
[08:51] <brainwash> jarnos: if it is buggy, you can uninstall it
[08:51] <brainwash> or disable locking via xfce4-screensaver settings
[08:59] <jarnos> brainwash, disabling does not help in this case. Yes I can uninstall that, but then I am not notified about its updates.
[09:07] <jarnos> Bug #1880666
[11:05] <Krock> Hello everyone. Until 20.04, Thunar 1.6.x had alternating row colours: https://i.imgur.com/VQGPFcE.png - was this removed in version 1.8.x? I cannot find any documentation about this
[11:06] <Krock> There's also no setting in xfce4-settings-editor
[11:11] <diogenes_> Krock, /j #xfce /j #xfce-dev
[11:11] <Krock> diogenes_: okay, will try my luck there. Thanks! :)
[13:49] <TomK> Am trying to install on HD on an old Compaq DesktopSR1265CL.  Boots from USB into live session fine.  Seems to install on HD fine.  But won't reboot from HD.  I tried boot repair process and making /dev/sda partition bootable with fdisk..no luck...can someone guide me through the proper troubleshoot on MBR?
[13:55] <kgb> TomK: yeah, old computers and xEFI vs. BIOS
[13:56] <kgb> have you tried your luck with an older LTS build maybe
[13:57] <kgb> bc otherwise to "fix" this would be a huge pain (as it should work and when it doesn't it can be 1 of 300 things, meh)
[13:58] <kgb> start from the start and see if you have like the master jumper set on the hdd
[14:32] <TomK> thank you KGB...when the system boots, if you go into setup,  the bios allows selection to boot from the HDD, or the CDROM, or the USB if its plugged in.  I've done the HDD install, so I remove the USB and it boots from the HDD to a blank screen and flashing cursor.  If I boot from the USB, it loads a live session and give the try or install screen. If I abort at that point, it loads anyway...All this leads me to believe the HDD has the
[14:32] <TomK>  system installed, but the problem is in the MBR.   fdisk -l shows the primary partition but says its not bootable.
[14:34] <TomK> This is an old PC  circa -2004.  I'd think some kind of Grub install, config and partition flag could fix but, I'm hardly an expert
[14:34] <TomK> Next step:  if no more suggestions I'll try an earlier version...
[14:34] <kgb> TomK: yeah, gotcha.. just, old hardware - i mean, how long has IDE been out of the equation.. i don't know, maybe give it a whirl: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[14:35] <kgb> it's the way everything is packed into the kernel, who knows what the fix may be - like what grub2 flags you may need, or whatever
[14:36] <kgb> it's been a couple of years that i threw out everything old to recycling..:) just too much stuff going on, haven't got the time, meh
[14:38] <kgb> maybe Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx), or Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (Precise Pangolin) something that had been patched and worked on a lot
[14:40] <kgb> TomK: and, you know, how you write the ISO to usb also.. just see if you can do Rufus under Windows for example
[14:42] <reverb> Good day, my laptop is making a loud noise + no bootable device error. Sometimes I do enter my grub bootloader and my Linux seems to work fine but my windows is incredibly slow
[14:43] <reverb> I have tried boot repair
[19:33] <TomK>    a
[19:37] <kgb> TomK: i had gone away, did you manage?
[22:00] <vlada> hello
[22:00] <doubledutch> !ask
[22:00]  * doubledutch and ubottu welcome vlada by sliding super close to him and ordering three shots
[22:01] <vlada> If I have a problem with acpi=off with ubuntu 20.04 because of probably missing drivers, would i also have same problem in XUbuntu? Thanks in advance!
