[00:34] <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.

[00:45] <Maik> i hope you agree? ^^
[02:38] <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
[02:40] <Unit193> Sure thing, it's had some glitches in the past but basically just deinstall xfce4-screensaver and install light-locker.  That's it.
[07:16] <sorinello> xtao, ping
[08:09] <xu-irc97w> Can someone help me
[08:10] <xu-irc97w> I installed xubuntu on virtualbox but everytime on start up there's this blank screen with an underscore blinking
[08:11] <xu-irc97w> I reinstalled it, it's of no use
[08:38] <xtao> sorinello: pong
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <xtao> i don't have an account but ok. i'll take a look after some morning coffee
[08:55] <xtao> also i've only tested it twice so far, only just booted the laptop for the second time now this morning, but yes, so far it seems to be fixed
[08:55] <xtao> i'll register an account and comment in a bit
[09:19] <xtao> ok done
[09:26] <nainar> Hi
[13:26] <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..?
[13:27] <hans__> anyway, how do i upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 ?
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <hans__> i'm guessing that's not the correct way to do it, got some errors, but it worked-ish anyway
[13:30] <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
[13:32] <hans__> bleh, "unmet dependencies".. whatever, i don
[13:32] <hans__> don't even need wine, ill just remove it
[13:34] <hans__> neat, after uninstalling "*wine*", the "Upgrade" button started working :)
[13:36] <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 ^^
[13:39] <quarx> hi, can i ask?
[13:41] <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?
[13:42] <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
[13:44] <hans__> how old is the netbook?
[13:45] <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
[13:46] <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?
[13:47] <quarx> ubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu mate etc
[13:47] <quarx> so this problem is xubuntu related
[13:48] <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
[13:50] <quarx> well is he even here now so i write in private?
[13:51] <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
[13:52] <quarx> okay i think i will use the forums
[13:52] <quarx> thanks anyway
[13:52] <hans__> good luck ^^
[20:23] <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
[20:27] <diogenes_> PeGaSuS, probably to untick 'Configure new display when connected' in display settings.
[20:29] <PeGaSuS> diogenes_: Display > Advanced has all unticked
[20:30] <diogenes_> PeGaSuS, is 'session save' enabled?
[20:31] <PeGaSuS> diogenes_: you mean when you click the whiskers menu and chose the "Power button"?
[20:33] <diogenes_> that too but also in settings editor > xfce4-session- SaveOnExit
[20:35] <PeGaSuS> SaveOnExit doesn't have any box checked
[20:37] <diogenes_> and in Session and Startup?
[20:37] <PeGaSuS> on General only "Prompt on logout" is checked
[20:38] <diogenes_> in any case try: rm ~/.cache/sessions/*
[20:39] <PeGaSuS> should I logout and login after that?
[20:40] <diogenes_> yes
[20:41] <PeGaSuS> same behaviour :/
[20:41] <diogenes_> is it intel GPU?
[20:42] <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
[20:44] <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
[20:46] <PeGaSuS> Kernel driver in use: gma500
[20:52] <diogenes_> run: cat .xsession-errors | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:52] <diogenes_> share the url.
[20:53] <PeGaSuS> diogenes_: https://termbin.com/b03w
[20:59] <PeGaSuS> I need to go AFK for 5 minutes, to do something. brb
[21:09] <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?
[21:10] <PeGaSuS> usually that should happen automatically?
[21:12] <xu-help89w> Can I download a different web provider?
[21:13] <PeGaSuS> if you can't access the web, I don't see how you can download another browser
[21:16] <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
