| ocho | Hello. I'm new with Linux and Xubuntu. I have just installed Xubuntu on a laptop, but the screen looks so akward, dont know why | 13:37 |
| ocho | https://imgur.com/05S4gz4 | 13:37 |
| diogenes_ | ocho, that's fixable. | 13:38 |
| ocho | Do u know how? Notice that i'm noob with linux | 13:38 |
| diogenes_ | ocho, open a terminal. | 13:38 |
| ocho | Do u know a shortcut to open it? Because it's almost impossible do it with the interface like this | 13:39 |
| ocho | Ok, done, I opened it | 13:39 |
| diogenes_ | if you have troubles with that interface then hit: ctrl+alt+f1 | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | login with your username and password | 13:40 |
| diogenes_ | and tell me when done. | 13:40 |
| ocho | ok, done | 13:41 |
| diogenes_ | ok now type in there: whoami | 13:41 |
| diogenes_ | just to see iff it gives you your username | 13:41 |
| ocho | yes, it gives me my user name | 13:41 |
| ocho | which is 'juan' | 13:41 |
| diogenes_ | ok now type the following command: | 13:42 |
| diogenes_ | xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "glx" --create | 13:42 |
| diogenes_ | when you hit enter after it, you must be getting no output. | 13:42 |
| ocho | ok done, no output | 13:44 |
| diogenes_ | ok now run the following command: | 13:44 |
| diogenes_ | sudo systemctl restart lightdm | 13:44 |
| ocho | ok, done, now everthing is working perfectly! thank u so much | 13:45 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome. | 13:45 |
| ocho | how do yyou know how to fix it? | 13:45 |

| xu-irc9w | hi | 18:45 |
| xu-irc9w | newb here, just wanna know if i should have specified a larger root partition | 18:46 |
| xu-irc9w | cus now its like 50% full | 18:46 |
| xu-irc9w | i have a lot of software to install and if i run out what'll happen | 18:46 |
| brainwash | xu-irc9w: isn't it obvious what would happen in such a scenario? | 18:48 |
| xu-irc9w | is there no way to install to the /home partition | 18:48 |
| xu-irc9w | i looked around a lot and it sed i only needed like 20gb | 18:49 |
| brainwash | not when you use the package manager | 18:49 |
| brainwash | snap packages may be installed in /home | 18:49 |
| xu-irc9w | awrite, so how if i wanted to remove xubuntu then i just need to delete the partitions aye? | 18:49 |
| xu-irc9w | i'm running windows 10 as main | 18:50 |
| brainwash | I think so | 18:50 |
| xu-irc9w | and if i do that i can get safely get back to windows after a restart? | 18:50 |
| brainwash | the boot manager may remain still intact though | 18:50 |
| xu-irc9w | will that be a problem | 18:51 |
| xu-irc9w | cus i wanna reinstall with more root space | 18:51 |
| brainwash | did you try to resize the partition? | 18:51 |
| brainwash | that may be possible | 18:52 |
| xu-irc9w | resizing means i would have to reinstall rite | 18:52 |
| brainwash | not quite | 18:52 |
| xu-irc9w | how do i resize the partition then | 18:53 |
| brainwash | I would try with gparted | 18:55 |
| brainwash | it's a partition editor | 18:55 |
| brainwash | and it's present on the live ISO | 18:56 |
| xu-irc9w | awrite | 18:56 |
| brainwash | you can install it manually also | 18:56 |
| brainwash | of course | 18:56 |
| xu-irc9w | sounds scary xD | 18:57 |
| xu-irc9w | i just tried resetting the bootloader using command prompt | 18:57 |
| brainwash | but it may be necessary to resize the root partition while the OS is not running | 18:57 |
| xu-irc9w | and it isn't working | 18:57 |
| xu-irc9w | bcdedit /set “{bootmgr}” path \efi\microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi | 18:57 |
| xu-irc9w | cus when i restarted it was still showing the os selection screen | 18:58 |
| xu-irc9w | if i delete the partitions now and i restart will it mess up my windows | 18:58 |
| xu-irc9w | i'd rather do a clean reinstall of xubuntu | 18:59 |
| xu-irc9w | and how much space you reckon for the root | 18:59 |
| brainwash | since you do not touch the window partitions, it should not mess with them | 18:59 |
| brainwash | windows | 18:59 |
| xu-irc9w | okay and in bootup as well | 18:59 |
| xu-irc9w | right | 18:59 |
| xu-irc9w | i plan to use it for mainly dev stuff | 19:00 |
| brainwash | ideally, you should have a backup of important data | 19:00 |
| xu-irc9w | gulp | 19:00 |
| xu-irc9w | there you go... i've no means to backup that large a data | 19:00 |
| xu-irc9w | is there a possibility that a restart might screw up my windows | 19:01 |
| xu-irc9w | after i remove linux | 19:01 |
| brainwash | only if you delete the windows partition(s) | 19:02 |
| xu-irc9w | okay | 19:02 |
| xu-irc9w | thanks | 19:02 |
| xu-irc9w | here goes nothin | 19:02 |
| brainwash | the bootloader part can be restored I'd think | 19:02 |
| brainwash | or the next installation will set up a new bootloader | 19:02 |
