[02:10] <lopta> Is there a tool for Xubuntu that might tell me fan speeds and cpu temp?
[02:13] <Unit193> xfce4-sensors-plugin is a panel applet that can tell you the temp.
[02:17] <Bashing-om> lopta: Try too: ' inxi -s ' - likely to have to install the tool.
[02:18] <Unit193> Xubuntu ships it.
[02:20]  * lopta writes those down
[02:22] <lopta> Thanks!
[02:22] <lopta> No fan speeds but at least I get the temp.
[02:22] <lopta> ...and the fan speeds are a hardware thing.
[02:24] <Bashing-om> lopta: "inxi" is quite versatile - a read of the man page can do you good: ' man inxi ' .
[02:24] <lopta> Thanks
[02:25] <Bashing-om> lopta: Nvidia graphics ? if ya install the propritary driver then the fan spped can be reported.
[02:25] <Bashing-om> speed*
[02:26] <lopta> Bashing-om: Ah no, this one's Intel graphics, though I suppose the 40mm fan is on the North bridge rather than the CPU ;-)
[02:27] <lopta> ...and the case fan might not be on a 3-pin header.
[02:29] <lopta> This machine was thrown together from scrap.
[02:29] <lopta> (the case was new ...but terrible)
[02:30] <lopta> Anyway, it'll suffice for now.
[02:30] <lopta> I wonder whether there's a way to make Xfce4 work on a plain X display, without render, OpenGL etc.
[02:32] <lopta> Perhaps it has just progressed beyond compatibility with VNC.
[04:18] <lopta> Well, it looks like I'm a Xubuntu user now...
[04:18] <lopta> (at least for a while)
[04:47] <lopta> diogenes_: Thanks for your help earlier today!
[04:48] <diogenes_> lopta, you're welcome :)
[04:50] <christophergray> maybe turn off compositing will make a difference: settings/window manager tweaks/compositor
[04:51] <lopta> christophergray: Can I do that from the command-line though?  I don't get a working UI at all on the VNC side.
[04:55] <christophergray> probably can with dconf or gsettings
[04:57] <lopta> Thanks, I'll look those up.
[04:58] <lopta> For now I'll use a simple window manager.
[05:08] <lopta> Goodnight!
[06:28] <Maneul> Good night
[09:15] <xuxuxu> hi all, I'm getting a "ssd I/O input error" during 20.04 installation. Checked drive sanity and everything seems ok.. Any tips?
[09:16] <tomreyn> xuxuxu: do you know which mainboard it is?
[09:16] <xuxuxu> not really... i'm on a lenovo 330 15igm
[09:16] <tomreyn> how did you "check drive sanity"? can you show the error message?
[09:17] <xuxuxu> I'm back in windows (long story)
[09:17] <xuxuxu> Should I try another usb live media?
[09:17] <tomreyn> most 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 properly
[09:17] <xuxuxu> ok
[09:18] <xuxuxu> I'll try with another one
[09:18] <xuxuxu> thanks
[09:18] <tomreyn> use balena etcher to write the iso to usb
[09:33] <Maik> or Rufus. Fedora Media Writer is also an option to write iso's to USB
[09:34] <Maik> if you're on Windows that is. :)

[16:42] <keypass> this is my 1st boot
[16:43] <keypass> since the upgrade
[16:43] <tomreyn> !recovery

[17:02] <neko_> is anyone online
[17:02] <neko_> i need help with xubuntu error
[17:03] <pmjdebruijn> just ask your question, and wait around a bit
[17:05] <neko_> okey okey
[17:07] <keypass_> can someone help me
[17:07] <neko_> what if xubuntu plymouth default.plymouth dissaperes
[17:09] <pmjdebruijn> keypass_: did you raed the link ubottu pasted?
[17:10] <pmjdebruijn> neko_: what do you mean "what if"
[17:10] <pmjdebruijn> on my system it's : /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth -> /usr/share/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/xubuntu-logo.plymouth
[17:11] <pmjdebruijn> if that file is disappear on you, maybe you've installed another broken plymouth theme?
[17:20] <pmjdebruijn> neko_: so check what you have installed 'dpkg -l | grep plymouth
[17:22] <keypass> the update worked
[17:23] <pmjdebruijn> update?
[17:23] <keypass> yeah the upgrade went through now
[17:23] <keypass> Im able to use my system
[17:23] <keypass> what a relief
[17:24] <pmjdebruijn> you didn't mention the upgrade didn't finish earlier
[17:24] <keypass> it did
[17:24] <pmjdebruijn> you made it seem asif the upgrade was already done
[17:24] <keypass> I had to log into
[17:24] <keypass> tty2
[17:24] <keypass> and type
[17:24] <keypass> sudo apt-get autoclean
[17:24] <keypass> than sudo dpkg configure --a
[17:25] <keypass> and sudo apt-get -f install
[17:25] <keypass> sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade
[17:25] <keypass> rebooted after this and now im in
[17:25] <pmjdebruijn> that means your upgrade didn't finish properly in any case
[17:25] <keypass> oh it tid
[17:25] <pmjdebruijn> even if in a nonobvious way
[17:26] <keypass> https://hamwaves.com/release-upgrade/en/index.html
[17:26] <keypass> i followed this guide
[17:26] <keypass> to do my upgrade
[17:26] <pmjdebruijn> DOH
[17:26] <pmjdebruijn> do-release-upgrade
[17:26] <pmjdebruijn> that's how do you it
[17:27] <keypass> what do you mean
[17:27] <keypass> I did sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[17:27] <pmjdebruijn> that guide does some steps that aren't needed
[17:28] <pmjdebruijn> do-release-upgrade should take care o feverything critical
[17:28] <pmjdebruijn> though I've never done it on a desktop
[17:28] <keypass> since do release upgrade says it couldnt find an upgradeable version
[17:28] <pmjdebruijn> I just reinstall desktops
[17:28] <keypass> im up though and it works :)
[17:28] <pmjdebruijn> you'd probably want/need 'do-release-upgrade -d'
[17:29] <keypass> yeah thats what I did
