=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:10] Is there a tool for Xubuntu that might tell me fan speeds and cpu temp? [02:13] xfce4-sensors-plugin is a panel applet that can tell you the temp. [02:17] lopta: Try too: ' inxi -s ' - likely to have to install the tool. [02:18] Xubuntu ships it. [02:20] * lopta writes those down [02:22] Thanks! [02:22] No fan speeds but at least I get the temp. [02:22] ...and the fan speeds are a hardware thing. [02:24] lopta: "inxi" is quite versatile - a read of the man page can do you good: ' man inxi ' . [02:24] Thanks [02:25] lopta: Nvidia graphics ? if ya install the propritary driver then the fan spped can be reported. [02:25] speed* [02:26] 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] ...and the case fan might not be on a 3-pin header. [02:29] This machine was thrown together from scrap. [02:29] (the case was new ...but terrible) [02:30] Anyway, it'll suffice for now. [02:30] I wonder whether there's a way to make Xfce4 work on a plain X display, without render, OpenGL etc. [02:32] Perhaps it has just progressed beyond compatibility with VNC. [04:18] Well, it looks like I'm a Xubuntu user now... [04:18] (at least for a while) [04:47] diogenes_: Thanks for your help earlier today! [04:48] lopta, you're welcome :) [04:50] maybe turn off compositing will make a difference: settings/window manager tweaks/compositor [04:51] 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] probably can with dconf or gsettings [04:57] Thanks, I'll look those up. [04:58] For now I'll use a simple window manager. [05:08] Goodnight! [06:28] Good night [09:15] 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] xuxuxu: do you know which mainboard it is? [09:16] not really... i'm on a lenovo 330 15igm [09:16] how did you "check drive sanity"? can you show the error message? [09:17] I'm back in windows (long story) [09:17] Should I try another usb live media? [09:17] 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] ok [09:18] I'll try with another one [09:18] thanks [09:18] use balena etcher to write the iso to usb [09:33] or Rufus. Fedora Media Writer is also an option to write iso's to USB [09:34] if you're on Windows that is. :) === ubott2 is now known as ubottu [16:42] hi I just upgraded from xubuntu 18.04.5 lts to 20.04.1 lts and when I turn on my laptop all I get is a flicking black screen with a mouse cursor in the middle [16:42] how do I fix this?
