=== MrSwudge is now known as MrSwuge === MrSwuge is now known as MrSwudge [01:52] hi, so I recently upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04 then to 20.04 in one jump [01:53] 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] Virualbox, Clementine, [01:54] I am installing qt5-default to see if that help [02:02] so yes, all of my qt applications are not displaying properly. there is no menus [02:02] also the windows don't resize properly === vlm_ is now known as vlm [02:19] I think I have to install qt4 into Ubuntu 20.04, to get my favorite programs working again. [02:19] such as Clementine, [02:20] even virtualbox has no menu [02:25] qt4 is deprecated and no longer available. Any application in the archive should be using qt5 [05:17] Can i add xubuntu as a de to Ubuntu? [05:17] Neither mate n [05:17] Mat001e wont display properly and the fix I got didnt solve ir. [05:37] Dear, Xubuntu users, May I ask to you few questions if you don't mind ? [05:37] I am using Xubuntu with default installation setting in VMware player latest version. [05:37] and VMware tools for linux already has installed. [05:37] But, I can't fix resolution or choice resolution. [05:38] which link could help me well ? [10:49] hello, Iam isntalling xubuntu 20.04 but I can't find the option to install only open source software. [10:49] In previous versions, there was an option also to select the language and keyboard. [10:50] Am I doing something wrong? [11:03] Arseniev, No i don't think you're doing anything wrong, I'm looking for it, and don't see it either.. [11:04] option to install only open source software -> that option has never been in any installer of *buntu [11:05] Maik, it was in Ubuntu ubiquity; there is a test case for it, which I've run [11:06] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/408/builds/226239/testcases/1307/results (maybe that has clues) [11:06] I can't see where I used to press F6 though [11:06] nor how to get it as an option (parameter to start it) [11:09] guiverc: oh, never knew about that [11:09] no probs Maik , a lot of people don't I believe [11:09] 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] 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] https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/anyone-still-use-the-free-software-only-install-option/8431 [11:14] Arseniev, ^ [11:32] thanks guiverc [11:33] you're most welcome [11:34] 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] I made a new usb with rufus and everything is fine. Strange issue :S [11:34] 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] unetbootin isn't recommended :) [11:42] https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview [11:42] :) [15:17] Hi. Do you reonmend me to encrypt my home directory? [15:18] There is no option in 20.04 installation [16:20] Arseniev: for a newcomer i wouldn't recommend it [16:46] Maik, I was a newcomer 20 years ago. I always encrypt. [16:46] I ask your opinion because there is no option to encrypt in xubunu 20.04. Maybe there is a reason. [16:49] https://www.itzgeek.com/post/how-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-lts/ [16:49] you can encrypt when you choose LVM [16:50] the installer is the same so it should be there [16:50] i never used encryption myself so can't help any further [16:51] maybe there are more tutorials out there, just search [16:55] yep. i did that in both 20.04 and 20.10. you just select LVM and then encrypt [16:56] that does full disk encryption. if you only want home then will have to do it manually === az is now known as Guest14845 [17:28] Hey my suspend isn;t working on my Lenovo T14 Gen 1 === Guest14845 is now known as az [17:32] I can give you guys any info if you need it [18:17] My suspend isn't working on my T14 can anyone help me with this? [18:22] does [18:44] 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] Anonamy: whoops. :) [18:58] yeah I don't know where to begin to troubleshoot this [18:58] I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling [18:58] uninstalling the applications :) [18:58] not Xubuntu [19:00] so the applications affected are, Clementine, Virtualbox, smplayer, [19:00] Anonamy, apt list --installed | grep nity [19:01] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/snqwDxjkpm/ [19:01] diogenes_, ^ [19:02] libunity <---- might be the problem. [19:02] remove it ? [19:02] try [19:03] remove all unity stuff. [19:04] ok I did this sudo apt remove libunity* [19:04] there is also unity* [19:04] thank you [19:05] reboot ? [19:05] yes [19:08] diogenes_, wel that didn't seem to work [19:08] still no menus [19:08] apt list --installed | grep nity [19:09] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hgyRs95NZj/ [19:09] not much there anymore [19:09] apt list --installed | grep menu [19:10] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VFtkyr3G2R/ [19:11] I bet there is a bunch of stuff in there I don't need [19:11] but I don't know what is new or old since I just upgraded from 16.04 via the upgrade scripts [19:11] (16 -> 18, then to 20) [19:13] ahh so you upgraded. [19:13] yes [19:14] most stuff seems fine, [19:14] and it was Ubuntu with unity. [19:14] no I went from Xubuntu 16.04 to xubuntu 20.04 [19:16] remove gnome-menus libgnome-menu-3-0 (but before hitting enter see if it won't remove some important stuff) [19:27] diogenes_, wow, none of that worked [19:27] still no menus for QT applications [19:31] maybe I should reinstall QT5 ? [19:31] Anonamy, try a new user [19:35] not seeing any GUI apps to create a new user [19:36] sudo adduser username should do the trick I hope [19:38] diogenes_, ok I created a new user, and menus work ! [19:39] so what does that leave us with ? [19:39] configuration files in my home folder ? [19:39] yep [19:39] .folders and .files [19:40] ok well it seems to be QT specific [19:43] look in .config qtconf or in /home/.gtkrc file [19:43] there is a Qt folder in .config [19:43] remove any if you find. [19:43] rename it. [19:47] 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] so I am going to work at this from here, thanks for your help diogenes_ [19:48] you're welcome. [19:51] hello, can I just uninstall pulseaudio or will it break things? [19:52] I think you can uninstall it [19:52] should be able to [19:52] okay thanks [20:02] 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] working [20:03] I've tried to kill alsa and restart it but when I do "ps aux | grep alsa" it's not running [20:11] diogenes_, I completely removed the .config file , logged out and back in.. didn't fix it lol [20:12] (renamed .config to .config2) [20:12] must be a different .folder [20:13] nvm I reinstalled pulseaudio and it's working for some reason [20:13] Anonamy, look in .local/share [20:13] oh there is a pile of stuff there [20:20] ok I tried removing the whole .local folder (renaming) [20:21] man nothing seems to be working [20:22] alright enough of this [20:23] I might just wipe my user account, and move everything back over one at a time [20:25] yeah wow I tried removing the .local folder, the .config folder, and the .conf folder [20:30] nothing seems to fix that qt problem... very very weird [20:30] removed the .config folder, the .local, all the QT folders.. [20:31] and .cache? [20:31] no didn't do that yet [20:33] .cache didn't work either [20:33] man [20:33] stubborn [20:33] ok here is my new plan. going to start fresh user [20:46] ok so I would like to wipe my home folder, and start fresh, how can I back up my home folder ? [20:46] I was going to just log in as root, do a cp -r /home/muser /home/temp [20:47] then remove my user and re-add the user [20:47] actually I was going to do this [20:47] sudo su [20:47] mv /home/myuser /home/temp [21:01] hello [21:03] I think I need a good tutorial on how to refresh my home folder, [21:03] I tried logging in as root, and using userdel, but it is PID0 so I cannot [21:03] my user is the root user also I guess (and the only user) [21:04] I can't beleive how stubborn this bug is, after removing so many configuration files, nothing changes [21:04] I don't even know if wiping my user folder will fix it [21:15] diogenes_, well we tried :) [21:16] 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] Anonamy, just cut/copy your data then from old to new. [21:18] cut/paste [21:19] 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] yes but gooogle it. [21:50] man this is bizarre [21:50] maybe I should reinstall qt5 ? [22:52] fixed [22:53] removed the program indicator-appmenu [23:18] 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] 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
