[15:23] <xu-help92w> hi there, I was using chromium browser on xubuntu 20.04 and the whole computer just froze. I couldn't click on any other windows or force quit so I did hard reboot. Now, when it boots, it gets past the white screen with the mac sound and brings me to a black screen with a single underline cursor on it. Seems stuck no matter how many times I reboot.
[15:23] <xu-help92w> Is there a way to enter another login mode perhaps? Or is there some cleanup I need to run/get access to in order to resolve this?
[15:24] <xu-help92w> fan is spinning it seems too
[20:49] <xu-help37w> Hi, converting my 2nd machine from Win10.  As with the first, the network is not recognized. The solution I found was to change the antenna, when the chipset is Intel WIFI6,  xubuntu immediately recognizes it.  Now for my 2nd machine, I only bought an usb wifi  (realtek usb 802IIAC) recently and it also does not get recongnized.  Instead of buying
[20:49] <xu-help37w> another one, does anyone know how to load a fitting driver and where could i get it?
[21:03] <gnrp> xu-help37w: What is the exact manufacturer/model of the stick?
[21:03] <gnrp> or can you give a lsusb output?
[21:05] <xu-help37w> thanks, lsusb gives: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC
[21:07] <rud0lf> i think realtek is most problematic chip i've seen
[21:07] <rud0lf> or maybe just most popular
[21:08] <gnrp> so there seems to be possibilities to use it (only have this in German, but you'll find more if you just search for "linux 0bda:b812": https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/Ralink/
[21:11] <xu-help37w> thanks gnrp, appreciate the help
[21:13] <xu-help37w> lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net   that command returns only Intel 6
[23:34] <rud0lf> did any of you ever succeeded setting xfce4-genmon-plugin progress bar color?
[23:34] <rud0lf> that's preposterous
 tags do nothing, i tried everything, including gtk inspector
[23:35] <rud0lf> set everything and nothing :(
[23:35] <rud0lf> it works only when setting css in gtk inspector, which doesn't "survive" reboots
[23:43] <rud0lf> wow, xfce4-panel-plugin on github doesn't allow posting issues
[23:43] <rud0lf> way to go!
