=== genii is now known as genii-core
xu-help56wI just switched from Windows to Xubuntu. My setup was kinda dodgy already, and I think that may be part of my problem. I have two monitors, one is connected with HDMI to my gpu, the second one (my main monitor) is connected with Display port. My main monitor worked for about 10 seconds during installation, then suddenly stopped once the window04:10
xu-help56wpopped up. 04:10

nikolamI just tried to open PDF with atril from firefox and firefox crashed.. (21.04) 20:53
xu-help5wI've just installed my first Xubuntu! :)  - and it "just works" and was super-easy and the installer is really sexy. Thank you all so much!22:31
xu-help5wI got here, because I was curious what would happen if I click on the IRC link in the Help (during install). Wow! Getting here also "just worked". That's amazing!22:37
xu-help5wHave a great day everyone! Bye :)22:37
