User1: Hi, lightdm issue, xubuntu 16.04, set lightdm settings to use user wallpaper, when logging out background smoothly trnsitions to user wallpaper, after 2 seconds screen flashes and reverts to default background. Anyone know how to fix?
User2: sup
User3: hello
User3: can anyone help me
User4: No
User5: hello
User5: i guess meta questions aren't welcome here so here is my problem: i installed bumblebee on my xubuntu and after a reboot my screen resolution was fixed to something like 600x480. from there I tried a lot of things and finally managed to get an option to change my resolution through the gui (display settings), however, the resolution didn't actually change
User5: well, after a while of trying to fix it, now all graphical surface is gone, but i still have access via console
User5: is there a way for me to restore my graphics to the starting default?
User5: i tried several things and searched a lot, for example i tried reinstalling xfce, but nothing worked
User6: hej
User7: hello i have a minor display isssue on (primary display using 3 screens) can anyone help me ?
User8: hi
User8: i need some help
User8: i have thinkpad 11e amd clamshell
User8: with xubuntu 16, but the usb 3.0 is not working
User8: i have the same problem with ubuntu 14.04
User8: but it works with ubuntu 16
User8: I thought I would work with xubuntu 16 since it is based on ubuntu 16
User8: sudo apt full upgrade helps me..
User9: Hello.
User9: I am not new to Linux, but still learning.
User9: I tried to format my Flashdrive, but it shows me error.
User9: "Permission Denied".
User9: I was using terminal to format my pendrive, and was following these commands. : http://askubuntu.com/questions/662935/how-to-format-usb-flash-disk-using-ubuntu-terminal
User9: Can someone help me out.
User10: User9 That command is missing "sudo" in front.
User10: !sudo
User11: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
User9: Oh my lord.
User9: Thank you.
User10: Sure.
User7: hello i have a minor display isssue on (primary display using 3 screens) can anyone help me ?
User9: I am so dumb and blind.
User9: User10 Which program will you recommend for making bootable pendrive?
User9: Unetbootin ?
User10: User9 I recently just used 'dd' myself. :P
User9: dd?
User9: User10 What is dd? Is there any tutorial on how make bootable usb on linux ?
User10: User9 http://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal - but if you are on 16.04, 'usb-creator-gtk' should work as well.
User9: User10 I am on 15 version.
User10: Then I'd not bet on the latter.
User10: !usb | User9 There is quite a bit of info here as well
User11: User9 There is quite a bit of info here as well: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
User12: Hi guys
User12: is xubuntu the same as ubuntu ?
User12: only the xfce4 difference ?
User13: hello peoples
User12: Hi
User12: User13 i have a simple question
User12: User13 is xubuntu = ubuntu only the wm difference ?
User13: the desktop environment is also different, but they use the same repository, so its almost the same
User12: only the desktop
User12: ok
User13: but im no expert on ubuntu because im also here for an issue i have heheh
User12: thanks alot :)
User12: what is the issue ?
User12: before i leave :)
User13: i have a strange issue in the installation, when i create my paritions, the installer keeps adding 0 Mb sized free space in between the partitions
User12: what program you are using to create this partitions ?
User12: cfdisk gparted ?
User13: even when i want to change an existing partition, if i click OK it says i edited the size, which i didnt, and it adds 0 Mb of free space after it
User13: dunno, the xubuntu installer
User12: User13 can you delete this paritions again ?
User13: yup i can but when i try to recreate it, it happens again
User12: ok do the following
User12: shred -vn 1 /dev/sdX ( the partition you wanna remake )
User12: wait 1% or 2%
User13: at least its handy i can IRC and surf the web while installing. on the same computer hehe
User12: cfdisk create this parititons again
User12: and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX
User12: yep
User12: i think i will give a try for xubuntu
User13: isnt shred gonna take an enormous amount of time. the partition is 2 tb
User12: even ubuntu is not secure that much
User12: User13 don't let it finish just for 1%
User12: and use cfdisk
User13: i need ubuntu because debian is terrible on my computer, too many driver and video issues, ubuntu seems to work much better, but i hate the interface, so i choose xubuntu, its not secure by default but you can configure it to be very very secure
User12: how can you make it secure ?
User13: you can set up strict firewall rules, encrypt the drive, set up a lock screen etc.
User12: ya firewall
User12: wish one you are using iptables or ufw ?
User13: iptables
User12: nice
User12: ufw sucks :)
User13: i wouldnt know i never used it, :) but iptables is nice
User12: i'm donwloading xubuntu
User12: the best
User12: ok guys thanks alot and have a nice day
User13: indeed the best, except the installer
User12: User13 did your problem solved ?
User13: didnt try it yet
User12: i'm runing arch now
User12: i will back to debian little bit
User12: and distros based on debian
User12: just for fun i will leave you knwo thanks alot and have a nice day :)
User10: User13 http://askubuntu.com/questions/525596/unallocated-small-chunks-being-created-in-gparted-when-resizing-partitions
User13: aha so xubuntu installer probably aligns to MB, but i dont see an option to change it though, as i use GPT primary partitions
User10: User13 You can use GParted from the Live session *before* running the installer.
User13: would it work though, because when i want to "use" an existing partition, even if i dont change the size, it says i changed it and adds a 0MB free space before or after it
xubuntu
