loptaIs there a tool for Xubuntu that might tell me fan speeds and cpu temp?02:10
Unit193xfce4-sensors-plugin is a panel applet that can tell you the temp.02:13
Bashing-omlopta: Try too: ' inxi -s ' - likely to have to install the tool.02:17
Unit193Xubuntu ships it.02:18
* lopta writes those down02:20
loptaThanks!02:22
loptaNo fan speeds but at least I get the temp.02:22
lopta...and the fan speeds are a hardware thing.02:22
Bashing-omlopta: "inxi" is quite versatile - a read of the man page can do you good: ' man inxi ' .02:24
loptaThanks02:24
Bashing-omlopta: Nvidia graphics ? if ya install the propritary driver then the fan spped can be reported.02:25
Bashing-omspeed*02:25
loptaBashing-om: Ah no, this one's Intel graphics, though I suppose the 40mm fan is on the North bridge rather than the CPU ;-)02:26
lopta...and the case fan might not be on a 3-pin header.02:27
loptaThis machine was thrown together from scrap.02:29
lopta(the case was new ...but terrible)02:29
loptaAnyway, it'll suffice for now.02:30
loptaI wonder whether there's a way to make Xfce4 work on a plain X display, without render, OpenGL etc.02:30
loptaPerhaps it has just progressed beyond compatibility with VNC.02:32
loptaWell, it looks like I'm a Xubuntu user now...04:18
lopta(at least for a while)04:18
loptadiogenes_: Thanks for your help earlier today!04:47
diogenes_lopta, you're welcome :)04:48
christophergraymaybe turn off compositing will make a difference: settings/window manager tweaks/compositor04:50
loptachristophergray: Can I do that from the command-line though?  I don't get a working UI at all on the VNC side.04:51
christophergrayprobably can with dconf or gsettings04:55
loptaThanks, I'll look those up.04:57
loptaFor now I'll use a simple window manager.04:58
loptaGoodnight!05:08

xuxuxuhi all, I'm getting a "ssd I/O input error" during 20.04 installation. Checked drive sanity and everything seems ok.. Any tips?09:15
tomreynxuxuxu: do you know which mainboard it is?09:16
xuxuxunot really... i'm on a lenovo 330 15igm09:16
tomreynhow did you "check drive sanity"? can you show the error message?09:16
xuxuxuI'm back in windows (long story)09:17
xuxuxuShould I try another usb live media?09:17
tomreynmost of the time installation errors which are about disk i/o are actually read errors from the installer, because the installer wasn't written to the installation media properly09:17
xuxuxuok09:17
xuxuxuI'll try with another one09:18
xuxuxuthanks09:18
tomreynuse balena etcher to write the iso to usb09:18
Maikor Rufus. Fedora Media Writer is also an option to write iso's to USB09:33
Maikif you're on Windows that is. :)09:34
