| Maik | jamesprada: may i remind you that this channel is a support channel for Xubuntu. Windows 7 doesn't belong here and we asked you a couple of times in a kind way to take it to the offtopic channel. Either do that or just leave it. | 00:34 |

| john2020 | Hello, does anyone know how to change the lock screen from xfce4-screensaver to light locker? Manjaro Xfce has this by default and I prefer it since it allows for more customisation of the lockscreen through the lightdm greeter settings | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | Sure thing, it's had some glitches in the past but basically just deinstall xfce4-screensaver and install light-locker. That's it. | 02:40 |

| xu-irc97w | Can someone help me | 08:09 |
| xu-irc97w | I installed xubuntu on virtualbox but everytime on start up there's this blank screen with an underscore blinking | 08:10 |
| xu-irc97w | I reinstalled it, it's of no use | 08:11 |
| xtao | sorinello: pong | 08:38 |
| sorinello | xtao, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1890394?comments=all read the last 2 comments. Maybe (if you have an account) you could comment as well, so that the fix will be released | 08:40 |

| nainar | Hi | 09:26 |
| hans__ | i have an Xubuntu 18.04, update-manager says "computer is up to date, but 20.04 is available. do you want to upgrade?", and when i press the Upgrade button, update-manager just exits, but in stderr it prints: hans@xDevAd:~$ update-manager | 13:26 |
| hans__ | WARNING:root:can not import unity GI Namespace Dbusmenu not available | 13:26 |
| hans__ | Checking for a new Ubuntu release | 13:26 |
| hans__ | Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading. | 13:26 |
| hans__ | ... so update-manager think i have all updates available, until i press the Upgrade button..? | 13:26 |
| hans__ | anyway, how do i upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 ? | 13:27 |
| hans__ | (i did it successfully with an 18.04 system like 14 days ago, but back then i just kinda hack-ily replaced all instances of "bionic" with "focal" in /etc/apt/* | 13:28 |
| hans__ | i | 13:28 |
| hans__ | i'm guessing that's not the correct way to do it, got some errors, but it worked-ish anyway | 13:29 |
| hans__ | ohh i think i get it, The following packages have been kept back: | 13:30 |
| hans__ | wine-stable winehq-stable | 13:30 |
| hans__ | so update manager probably want me to update those 2 before going 20.04 | 13:30 |
| hans__ | bleh, "unmet dependencies".. whatever, i don | 13:32 |
| hans__ | don't even need wine, ill just remove it | 13:32 |
| hans__ | neat, after uninstalling "*wine*", the "Upgrade" button started working :) | 13:34 |
| hans__ | .. the update-manager devs could do a better job there, instead of just exiting, update-manager should have said something along the line of "can't upgrade to 20.04 because the following packages have been held back: (...)" before exiting, imo ^^ | 13:36 |
| quarx | hi, can i ask? | 13:39 |
| hans__ | quarx, no, you must keep quiet | 13:41 |
| hans__ | do not disturb the silence | 13:41 |
| hans__ | quarx, just kidding. so what do you want help with? | 13:41 |
| quarx | xubuntu groovy shows broken icons and themes both on live cd and install, only on my netbook (acer aspire es1-111m-c8tm, it has a emmc disk) but on my other laptops everything is fine, i already tried all secure boot options, i even tried to disable it but nothing changes, any clue? thanks | 13:42 |
| hans__ | how old is the netbook? | 13:44 |
| hans__ | or rather, the model? | 13:45 |
| quarx | i wrote, anyway is a 2015 model, but xubuntu works on older laptops i have | 13:45 |
| quarx | the fact is | 13:45 |
| quarx | that all other distros with xfce or other ubuntu flavors have not any problem like this | 13:46 |
| hans__ | other ubuntu flavors such as? | 13:46 |
| quarx | ubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu mate etc | 13:47 |
| quarx | so this problem is xubuntu related | 13:47 |
| hans__ | that's odd, unfortunately you came at a bad time, the people who might be able to help you debug that issue is not available now afaik ^^ maybe you'd have better luck if you try again in ~5-6 hours | 13:48 |
| quarx | well is he even here now so i write in private? | 13:50 |
| hans__ | it's not a singular "he", it's plural, and many here don't like to be PM'ed, so.. rather you didn't | 13:51 |
| quarx | okay i think i will use the forums | 13:52 |
| quarx | thanks anyway | 13:52 |
| hans__ | good luck ^^ | 13:52 |

| PeGaSuS | hi folks. I'm starting to lose my mind. every time I close my laptop lid (old Packard Bell from around 2012 perhaps) and reopen it, the "Configure a new display" dialog pops up. what should I disable/edit so this behaviour disappears? TIA | 20:23 |
| diogenes_ | PeGaSuS, probably to untick 'Configure new display when connected' in display settings. | 20:27 |
| PeGaSuS | diogenes_: Display > Advanced has all unticked | 20:29 |
| diogenes_ | PeGaSuS, is 'session save' enabled? | 20:30 |
| PeGaSuS | diogenes_: you mean when you click the whiskers menu and chose the "Power button"? | 20:31 |
| diogenes_ | that too but also in settings editor > xfce4-session- SaveOnExit | 20:33 |
| PeGaSuS | SaveOnExit doesn't have any box checked | 20:35 |
| diogenes_ | and in Session and Startup? | 20:37 |
| PeGaSuS | on General only "Prompt on logout" is checked | 20:37 |
| diogenes_ | in any case try: rm ~/.cache/sessions/* | 20:38 |
| PeGaSuS | should I logout and login after that? | 20:39 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 20:40 |
| PeGaSuS | same behaviour :/ | 20:41 |
| diogenes_ | is it intel GPU? | 20:41 |
| PeGaSuS | I have two dialogs open when I reopen the lid. probably one when I close and one when I reopen it? and yes, it's a Intel Atom | 20:42 |
| PeGaSuS | output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo/": https://termbin.com/6tty | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A3 | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | just tell me the driver | 20:44 |
| PeGaSuS | Kernel driver in use: gma500 | 20:46 |
| diogenes_ | run: cat .xsession-errors | nc termbin.com 9999 | 20:52 |
| diogenes_ | share the url. | 20:52 |
| PeGaSuS | diogenes_: https://termbin.com/b03w | 20:53 |
| PeGaSuS | I need to go AFK for 5 minutes, to do something. brb | 20:59 |
| xu-help89w | My nephew downloaded Xubuntu on my other laptop and Is not available to assist me. He also loaded Firefox as the internet provider. When I try to access the internet (computer shows I'm am connected). Any site I try to connect to it says "We can't connect to the server - try again later, check your network connection and if you are connected | 21:09 |
| xu-help89w | but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web. Where do I go to allow Firefox to access the Web? | 21:09 |
| PeGaSuS | usually that should happen automatically? | 21:10 |
| xu-help89w | Can I download a different web provider? | 21:12 |
| PeGaSuS | if you can't access the web, I don't see how you can download another browser | 21:13 |
| PeGaSuS | if anyone could come up with ideas to fix the annoying "Configure new display" whenever I close and reopen my desktop lid, I'd be very grateful | 21:16 |
| xu-help89w | how to I find the firewall? What do I need to do to allow Firefox to access the Web? | 21:16 |
| PeGaSuS | honestly, that's beyond my knowledge. I've installed Xubuntu in my laptop and it worked out of the box | 21:16 |
