| Anonamy | hi, so I recently upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 then to 20.04 in one jump | 01:52 |
|---|---|---|
| Anonamy | I don't know if it is the reason for my problem, but for some reason, QT applications are not showing a menu | 01:53 |
| Anonamy | Virualbox, Clementine, | 01:53 |
| Anonamy | I am installing qt5-default to see if that help | 01:54 |
| Anonamy | so yes, all of my qt applications are not displaying properly. there is no menus | 02:02 |
| Anonamy | also the windows don't resize properly | 02:02 |
| === vlm_ is now known as vlm | ||
| Anonamy | I think I have to install qt4 into Ubuntu 20.04, to get my favorite programs working again. | 02:19 |
| Anonamy | such as Clementine, | 02:19 |
| Anonamy | even virtualbox has no menu | 02:20 |
| kc2bez[m] | qt4 is deprecated and no longer available. Any application in the archive should be using qt5 | 02:25 |

| tripelb | Neither mate n | 05:17 |

| MJ73 | Dear, Xubuntu users, May I ask to you few questions if you don't mind ? | 05:37 |
| MJ73 | I am using Xubuntu with default installation setting in VMware player latest version. | 05:37 |
| MJ73 | and VMware tools for linux already has installed. | 05:37 |
| MJ73 | But, I can't fix resolution or choice resolution. | 05:37 |
| MJ73 | which link could help me well ? | 05:38 |
| Arseniev | hello, Iam isntalling xubuntu 20.04 but I can't find the option to install only open source software. | 10:49 |
| Arseniev | In previous versions, there was an option also to select the language and keyboard. | 10:49 |
| Arseniev | Am I doing something wrong? | 10:50 |
| guiverc | Arseniev, No i don't think you're doing anything wrong, I'm looking for it, and don't see it either.. | 11:03 |
| Maik | option to install only open source software -> that option has never been in any installer of *buntu | 11:04 |
| guiverc | Maik, it was in Ubuntu ubiquity; there is a test case for it, which I've run | 11:05 |
| guiverc | http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/408/builds/226239/testcases/1307/results (maybe that has clues) | 11:06 |
| guiverc | I can't see where I used to press F6 though | 11:06 |
| guiverc | nor how to get it as an option (parameter to start it) | 11:06 |
| Maik | guiverc: oh, never knew about that | 11:09 |
| guiverc | no probs Maik , a lot of people don't I believe | 11:09 |
| guiverc | sorry Arseniev, I can't see how to start it, so you're not doing anything wrong... (I can't recall when I last used it, maybe 18.04) | 11:09 |
| guiverc | I do recall a conversation about it (maybe community hub) as to how many people still used it, maybe with view of dropping it (which maybe happened, but I forget, maybe 18 months ago, if not more) | 11:12 |
| guiverc | https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/anyone-still-use-the-free-software-only-install-option/8431 | 11:13 |
| guiverc | Arseniev, ^ | 11:14 |
| Arseniev | thanks guiverc | 11:32 |
| guiverc | you're most welcome | 11:33 |
| Arseniev | I found the problem. I made the installation usb with unetbootin and somehow it replaces the screen where you can choose that option by pressing F6 | 11:34 |
| Arseniev | I made a new usb with rufus and everything is fine. Strange issue :S | 11:34 |
| guiverc | I didn't use unetbootin, booted a thumb-drive with focal & didn't see it either.. but very glad you got it solved :) | 11:34 |
| Maik | unetbootin isn't recommended :) | 11:41 |
| Maik | https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview | 11:42 |
| Maik | :) | 11:42 |
| Arseniev | Hi. Do you reonmend me to encrypt my home directory? | 15:17 |
| Arseniev | There is no option in 20.04 installation | 15:18 |
| Maik | Arseniev: for a newcomer i wouldn't recommend it | 16:20 |
| Arseniev | Maik, I was a newcomer 20 years ago. I always encrypt. | 16:46 |
| Arseniev | I ask your opinion because there is no option to encrypt in xubunu 20.04. Maybe there is a reason. | 16:46 |
| Maik | https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-lts/ | 16:49 |
| Maik | you can encrypt when you choose LVM | 16:49 |
| Maik | the installer is the same so it should be there | 16:50 |
| Maik | i never used encryption myself so can't help any further | 16:50 |
| Maik | maybe there are more tutorials out there, just search | 16:51 |
| xtao | yep. i did that in both 20.04 and 20.10. you just select LVM and then encrypt | 16:55 |
| xtao | that does full disk encryption. if you only want home then will have to do it manually | 16:56 |

| Anonamy | Hi .. I don't know what I did, but it seems like every QT application that I have, doesn't show a menu anymore. | 18:44 |
| DrKK` | Anonamy: whoops. :) | 18:57 |
| Anonamy | yeah I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot this | 18:58 |
| Anonamy | I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling | 18:58 |
| Anonamy | uninstalling the applications :) | 18:58 |
| Anonamy | not Xubuntu | 18:58 |
| Anonamy | so the applications affected are, Clementine, Virtualbox, smplayer, | 19:00 |
| diogenes_ | Anonamy, apt list --installed | grep nity | 19:00 |
| Anonamy | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/snqwDxjkpm/ | 19:01 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, ^ | 19:01 |
| diogenes_ | libunity <---- might be the problem. | 19:02 |
| Anonamy | remove it ? | 19:02 |
| diogenes_ | try | 19:02 |
| diogenes_ | remove all unity stuff. | 19:03 |
| Anonamy | ok I did this sudo apt remove libunity* | 19:04 |
| diogenes_ | there is also unity* | 19:04 |
| Anonamy | thank you | 19:04 |
| Anonamy | reboot ? | 19:05 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 19:05 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, wel that didn't seem to work | 19:08 |
| Anonamy | still no menus | 19:08 |
| diogenes_ | apt list --installed | grep nity | 19:08 |
| Anonamy | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hgyRs95NZj/ | 19:09 |
| Anonamy | not much there anymore | 19:09 |
| diogenes_ | apt list --installed | grep menu | 19:09 |
| Anonamy | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VFtkyr3G2R/ | 19:10 |
| Anonamy | I bet there is a bunch of stuff in there I don't need | 19:11 |
| Anonamy | but I don't know what is new or old since I just upgraded from 16.04 via the upgrade scripts | 19:11 |
| Anonamy | (16 -> 18, then to 20) | 19:11 |
| diogenes_ | ahh so you upgraded. | 19:13 |
| Anonamy | yes | 19:13 |
| Anonamy | most stuff seems fine, | 19:14 |
| diogenes_ | and it was Ubuntu with unity. | 19:14 |
| Anonamy | no I went from Xubuntu 16.04 to xubuntu 20.04 | 19:14 |
| diogenes_ | remove gnome-menus libgnome-menu-3-0 (but before hitting enter see if it won't remove some important stuff) | 19:16 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, wow, none of that worked | 19:27 |
| Anonamy | still no menus for QT applications | 19:27 |
| Anonamy | maybe I should reinstall QT5 ? | 19:31 |
| diogenes_ | Anonamy, try a new user | 19:31 |
| Anonamy | not seeing any GUI apps to create a new user | 19:35 |
| Anonamy | sudo adduser username should do the trick I hope | 19:36 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, ok I created a new user, and menus work ! | 19:38 |
| Anonamy | so what does that leave us with ? | 19:39 |
| Anonamy | configuration files in my home folder ? | 19:39 |
| diogenes_ | yep | 19:39 |
| diogenes_ | .folders and .files | 19:39 |
| Anonamy | ok well it seems to be QT specific | 19:40 |
| diogenes_ | look in .config qtconf or in /home/.gtkrc file | 19:43 |
| Anonamy | there is a Qt folder in .config | 19:43 |
| diogenes_ | remove any if you find. | 19:43 |
| diogenes_ | rename it. | 19:43 |
| Anonamy | ok so removing the Qt folder didn't fix it, but by looking in the new users folder, I can see what folders I should play around with in my current users home folder | 19:47 |
| Anonamy | so I am going to work at this from here, thanks for your help diogenes_ | 19:48 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome. | 19:48 |
| svct | hello, can I just uninstall pulseaudio or will it break things? | 19:51 |
| Anonamy | I think you can uninstall it | 19:52 |
| Anonamy | should be able to | 19:52 |
| svct | okay thanks | 19:52 |
| svct | can somebody please help me get audio working, it started with speakers going into power saving mode/shutting down after going to sleep for longer periods of time and I had to reboot every time after that so I tried unmuting all the devices in alsamixer and then my audio stopped working completely so I uninstall pulseaudio so I don't have to wonder if that's what's causing the issue and it still isn't | 20:02 |
| svct | working | 20:03 |
| svct | I've tried to kill alsa and restart it but when I do "ps aux | grep alsa" it's not running | 20:03 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, I completely removed the .config file , logged out and back in.. didn't fix it lol | 20:11 |
| Anonamy | (renamed .config to .config2) | 20:12 |
| Anonamy | must be a different .folder | 20:12 |
| svct | nvm I reinstalled pulseaudio and it's working for some reason | 20:13 |
| diogenes_ | Anonamy, look in .local/share | 20:13 |
| Anonamy | oh there is a pile of stuff there | 20:13 |
| Anonamy | ok I tried removing the whole .local folder (renaming) | 20:20 |
| Anonamy | man nothing seems to be working | 20:21 |
| Anonamy | alright enough of this | 20:22 |
| Anonamy | I might just wipe my user account, and move everything back over one at a time | 20:23 |
| Anonamy | yeah wow I tried removing the .local folder, the .config folder, and the .conf folder | 20:25 |
| Anonamy | nothing seems to fix that qt problem... very very weird | 20:30 |
| Anonamy | removed the .config folder, the .local, all the QT folders.. | 20:30 |
| diogenes_ | and .cache? | 20:31 |
| Anonamy | no didn't do that yet | 20:31 |
| Anonamy | .cache didn't work either | 20:33 |
| Anonamy | man | 20:33 |
| Anonamy | stubborn | 20:33 |
| Anonamy | ok here is my new plan. going to start fresh user | 20:33 |
| Anonamy | ok so I would like to wipe my home folder, and start fresh, how can I back up my home folder ? | 20:46 |
| Anonamy | I was going to just log in as root, do a cp -r /home/muser /home/temp | 20:46 |
| Anonamy | then remove my user and re-add the user | 20:47 |
| Anonamy | actually I was going to do this | 20:47 |
| Anonamy | sudo su | 20:47 |
| Anonamy | mv /home/myuser /home/temp | 20:47 |
| xubuntu94i | hello | 21:01 |
| Anonamy | I think I need a good tutorial on how to refresh my home folder, | 21:03 |
| Anonamy | I tried logging in as root, and using userdel, but it is PID0 so I cannot | 21:03 |
| Anonamy | my user is the root user also I guess (and the only user) | 21:03 |
| Anonamy | I can't beleive how stubborn this bug is, after removing so many configuration files, nothing changes | 21:04 |
| Anonamy | I don't even know if wiping my user folder will fix it | 21:04 |
| Anonamy | diogenes_, well we tried :) | 21:15 |
| Anonamy | at least I know a new user home folder fixes my problems.. I don't know how to wipe my current home folder.. | 21:16 |
| diogenes_ | Anonamy, just cut/copy your data then from old to new. | 21:18 |
| diogenes_ | cut/paste | 21:18 |
| Anonamy | yeah I created a new user, can I migrate to that new user, and remove my old user, then rename my new user back to the old user ? | 21:19 |
| diogenes_ | yes but gooogle it. | 21:20 |
| lsemple | man this is bizarre | 21:50 |
| lsemple | maybe I should reinstall qt5 ? | 21:50 |
| Anonamy | fixed | 22:52 |
| Anonamy | removed the program indicator-appmenu | 22:53 |
| xu-help1w | hello. i have a dual boot environ with xubuntu bionic and windows 7. i recently updated xubuntu after not having been logged in for some time. now, windows 7 fails to load. it gets hung on the black screen splash where the bright multicolor 'window' logo pulses. after some time the computer reboots. when i attempt to start windows again i'm offered | 23:18 |
| xu-help1w | an option to start windows regularly or a repair mode option. start normally just goes through the same circle as mentioned, repair option does nothing but present a black screen. my first thought is maybe the boot record. (linux starts without issue). what else should i consider? thanks in advance | 23:18 |
