[01:52] <Anonamy> hi, so I recently upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 then to 20.04 in one jump
[01:53] <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,
[01:54] <Anonamy> I am installing qt5-default to see if that help
[02:02] <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
[02:19] <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,
[02:20] <Anonamy> even virtualbox has no menu
[02:25] <kc2bez[m]> qt4 is deprecated and no longer available. Any application in the archive should be using qt5
[05:17] <tripelb> Can i add xubuntu as a de to Ubuntu?
[05:17] <tripelb> Neither mate n
[05:17] <tripelb> Mat001e wont display properly and the fix I got didnt solve ir.
[05:37] <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.
[05:38] <MJ73> which link could help me well ?
[10:49] <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.
[10:50] <Arseniev> Am I doing something wrong?
[11:03] <guiverc> Arseniev, No i don't think you're doing anything wrong, I'm looking for it, and don't see it either..
[11:04] <Maik> option to install only open source software -> that option has never been in any installer of *buntu
[11:05] <guiverc> Maik, it was in Ubuntu ubiquity; there is a test case for it, which I've run
[11:06] <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)
[11:09] <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)
[11:12] <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)
[11:13] <guiverc> https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/anyone-still-use-the-free-software-only-install-option/8431
[11:14] <guiverc> Arseniev, ^
[11:32] <Arseniev> thanks guiverc
[11:33] <guiverc> you're most welcome
[11:34] <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 :)
[11:41] <Maik> unetbootin isn't recommended :)
[11:42] <Maik> https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview
[11:42] <Maik> :)
[15:17] <Arseniev> Hi. Do you reonmend me to encrypt my home directory?
[15:18] <Arseniev> There is no option in 20.04 installation
[16:20] <Maik> Arseniev: for a newcomer i wouldn't recommend it
[16:46] <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.
[16:49] <Maik> https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-lts/
[16:49] <Maik> you can encrypt when you choose LVM
[16:50] <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
[16:51] <Maik> maybe there are more tutorials out there, just search
[16:55] <xtao> yep. i did that in both 20.04 and 20.10. you just select LVM and then encrypt
[16:56] <xtao> that does full disk encryption. if you only want home then will have to do it manually
[17:28] <T14> Hey my suspend isn;t working on my Lenovo T14 Gen 1
[17:32] <T14> I can give you guys any info if you need it
[18:17] <T14> My suspend isn't working on my T14 can anyone help me with this?
[18:22] <T14> does
[18:44] <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.
[18:57] <DrKK`> Anonamy: whoops. :)
[18:58] <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
[19:00] <Anonamy> so the applications affected are,   Clementine, Virtualbox, smplayer,
[19:00] <diogenes_> Anonamy, apt list --installed | grep nity
[19:01] <Anonamy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/snqwDxjkpm/
[19:01] <Anonamy> diogenes_, ^
[19:02] <diogenes_> libunity <---- might be the problem.
[19:02] <Anonamy> remove it ?
[19:02] <diogenes_> try
[19:03] <diogenes_> remove all unity stuff.
[19:04] <Anonamy> ok I did this  sudo apt remove libunity*
[19:04] <diogenes_> there is also unity*
[19:04] <Anonamy> thank you
[19:05] <Anonamy> reboot ?
[19:05] <diogenes_> yes
[19:08] <Anonamy> diogenes_, wel that didn't seem to work
[19:08] <Anonamy> still no menus
[19:08] <diogenes_> apt list --installed | grep nity
[19:09] <Anonamy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hgyRs95NZj/
[19:09] <Anonamy> not much there anymore
[19:09] <diogenes_> apt list --installed | grep menu
[19:10] <Anonamy> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VFtkyr3G2R/
[19:11] <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)
[19:13] <diogenes_> ahh so you upgraded.
[19:13] <Anonamy> yes
[19:14] <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
[19:16] <diogenes_> remove gnome-menus libgnome-menu-3-0 (but before hitting enter see if it won't remove some important stuff)
[19:27] <Anonamy> diogenes_, wow, none of that worked
[19:27] <Anonamy> still no menus for QT applications
[19:31] <Anonamy> maybe I should reinstall QT5 ?
[19:31] <diogenes_> Anonamy, try a new user
[19:35] <Anonamy> not seeing any GUI apps to create a new user
[19:36] <Anonamy> sudo adduser username should do the trick I hope
[19:38] <Anonamy> diogenes_, ok I created a new user, and menus  work !
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <Anonamy> ok well it seems to be QT specific
[19:43] <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.
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <Anonamy> so I am going to work at this from here, thanks for your help diogenes_
[19:48] <diogenes_> you're welcome.
[19:51] <svct> hello, can I just uninstall pulseaudio or will it break things?
[19:52] <Anonamy> I think you can uninstall it
[19:52] <Anonamy> should be able to
[19:52] <svct> okay thanks
[20:02] <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
[20:03] <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
[20:11] <Anonamy> diogenes_, I completely removed the .config file , logged out and back in.. didn't fix it lol
[20:12] <Anonamy> (renamed .config to .config2)
[20:12] <Anonamy> must be a different .folder
[20:13] <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
[20:20] <Anonamy> ok I tried removing the whole .local folder (renaming)
[20:21] <Anonamy> man nothing seems to be working
[20:22] <Anonamy> alright enough of this
[20:23] <Anonamy> I might just wipe my user account, and move everything back over one at a time
[20:25] <Anonamy> yeah wow I tried removing the .local folder, the .config folder, and the .conf folder
[20:30] <Anonamy> nothing seems to fix that qt problem... very very weird
[20:30] <Anonamy> removed the .config folder, the .local, all the QT folders..
[20:31] <diogenes_> and .cache?
[20:31] <Anonamy> no didn't do that yet
[20:33] <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
[20:46] <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
[20:47] <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
[21:01] <xubuntu94i> hello
[21:03] <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)
[21:04] <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
[21:15] <Anonamy> diogenes_, well we tried :)
[21:16] <Anonamy> at least I know a new user home folder fixes my problems.. I don't know how to wipe my current home folder..
[21:18] <diogenes_> Anonamy, just cut/copy your data then from old to new.
[21:18] <diogenes_> cut/paste
[21:19] <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 ?
[21:20] <diogenes_> yes but gooogle it.
[21:50] <lsemple> man this is bizarre
[21:50] <lsemple> maybe I should reinstall qt5 ?
[22:52] <Anonamy> fixed
[22:53] <Anonamy> removed the program   indicator-appmenu
[23:18] <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
