[09:31] i cannot play farmerama [10:09] jamesprada, flash is dead and currently works only in Firefox. [13:23] h [13:37] 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] https://imgur.com/05S4gz4 [13:38] ocho, that's fixable. [13:38] Do u know how? Notice that i'm noob with linux [13:38] ocho, open a terminal. [13:39] Do u know a shortcut to open it? Because it's almost impossible do it with the interface like this [13:39] Ok, done, I opened it [13:40] if you have troubles with that interface then hit: ctrl+alt+f1 [13:40] login with your username and password [13:40] and tell me when done. [13:41] ok, done [13:41] ok now type in there: whoami [13:41] just to see iff it gives you your username [13:41] yes, it gives me my user name [13:41] which is 'juan' [13:42] ok now type the following command: [13:42] xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "glx" --create [13:42] when you hit enter after it, you must be getting no output. [13:44] ok done, no output [13:44] ok now run the following command: [13:44] sudo systemctl restart lightdm [13:45] ok, done, now everthing is working perfectly! thank u so much [13:45] you're welcome. [13:45] how do yyou know how to fix it? [13:46] it's a known issue on some GPUs with xpresent compositor and open source drivers it doesn't refresh the creen properly. [13:46] screen* [13:46] oookey, thank u so much [13:47] you're welcome. === obistro is now known as obirage === obirage is now known as obistro === obistro21 is now known as obistro [18:45] hi [18:46] newb here, just wanna know if i should have specified a larger root partition [18:46] cus now its like 50% full [18:46] i have a lot of software to install and if i run out what'll happen [18:48] xu-irc9w: isn't it obvious what would happen in such a scenario? [18:48] is there no way to install to the /home partition [18:49] i looked around a lot and it sed i only needed like 20gb [18:49] not when you use the package manager [18:49] snap packages may be installed in /home [18:49] awrite, so how if i wanted to remove xubuntu then i just need to delete the partitions aye? [18:50] i'm running windows 10 as main [18:50] I think so [18:50] and if i do that i can get safely get back to windows after a restart? [18:50] the boot manager may remain still intact though [18:51] will that be a problem [18:51] cus i wanna reinstall with more root space [18:51] did you try to resize the partition? [18:52] that may be possible [18:52] resizing means i would have to reinstall rite [18:52] not quite [18:53] how do i resize the partition then [18:55] I would try with gparted [18:55] it's a partition editor [18:56] and it's present on the live ISO [18:56] awrite [18:56] you can install it manually also [18:56] of course [18:57] sounds scary xD [18:57] i just tried resetting the bootloader using command prompt [18:57] but it may be necessary to resize the root partition while the OS is not running [18:57] and it isn't working [18:57] bcdedit /set “{bootmgr}” path \efi\microsoft\boot\bootmgfw.efi [18:58] cus when i restarted it was still showing the os selection screen [18:58] if i delete the partitions now and i restart will it mess up my windows [18:59] i'd rather do a clean reinstall of xubuntu [18:59] and how much space you reckon for the root [18:59] since you do not touch the window partitions, it should not mess with them [18:59] windows [18:59] okay and in bootup as well [18:59] right [19:00] i plan to use it for mainly dev stuff [19:00] ideally, you should have a backup of important data [19:00] gulp [19:00] there you go... i've no means to backup that large a data [19:01] is there a possibility that a restart might screw up my windows [19:01] after i remove linux [19:02] only if you delete the windows partition(s) [19:02] okay [19:02] thanks [19:02] here goes nothin [19:02] the bootloader part can be restored I'd think [19:02] or the next installation will set up a new bootloader
