Since I installed xubuntu over ubuntu, does that mean if I select ubuntu at the log-in screen, I will be using a supported OS again? what are the security ramifications of doing that? It seems like...
I did not know that. When I upgraded, it removed xscreensaver and didn't install a new screensaver in its place so I re-installed xscreensaver since I didn't know there was a replacement. If I had...
Are you kidding? I never knew that "Flavors" had a shorter life than regular ubuntu. I just upgraded a month ago. Now I have to do it again?
I agree with everything you said, which is probably why I have used Linux exclusively since 2005.
However, I am still frustrated when something like this slips through (e.g. no fallback built-in)...
I forgot about /var/log/apt. I took a look at history.log and there were no entries for the date that things appeared to get borked up. Likely because I ran my update script, which consists of:...
I understand that the GUI isn't part of the OS and that it is written by the XFCE folks and adapted for use by the xubuntu folks. I guess I should've said that it is ludicrous that a modern GUI...
I upgraded my System 76 meerkat from 16.04 to 18.04 a couple of weeks ago. i run xubuntu and have the power manager set to lock the screen when the screensaver deactivates. 3 or 4 times now since...
The searches I've done on the internet seem to indicate that there is no way to have xubuntu automatically lock the screen without xscreensaver, but I thought i'd ask here.
It has never been a...
I was able to get the sound card to be recognized by pavucontrol by issuing a
sudo alsa force-reload I had done that earlier and it didn't seem to work, but it did tonight. It also solved a problem...
It turns out that the problem was caused by my sound not working correctly (documented here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2357393).
I did a
sudo alsa force-reload and my sound card...
Running xubuntu 16.04 on a System76 meerkat. Youtube doesn't play whatsoever in *any* browser. I have tried vivaldi, firefox (safe mode), pale moon and the results are all the same: the video...
Looked at /var/log/syslog and saw several of the same warnings between the last time we heard sound and when we discovered it wasn't working:
Apr 1 09:03:02 opus pulseaudio[2231]: [pulseaudio]...
Starting around 2 weeks ago the sound on my meerkat would just stop working. When I use pavucontrol, on the "output devices" tab, under "Hardware Output Devices" it says "No output devices...
You're right -- they aren't doing any thing that would create those permissions. I set their umasks to 0007. I checked my son's homework downloads from his school website and they were coming down...

Ah.. OK, so it is a "copy" thing and not an "ACL" thing. I moved a file from the "mark" account into the xfer directory using the --no-preserve=mode option and it achieved what I wanted. Trouble is:...
I've read dozens of forums and tutorials on setfacl for the last few days and still have this fundamental problem. It seems all the stuff I've read about setfacl deals with creating files/dirs and...
Wow, many apologies for not following up. I found a workaround but forgot to post it here. Basically, I found in another forum that if I open a terminal and issue a
pulseaudio -k followed by a ...
Ever since upgrading to Xenial on my System 76 laptop, the sound occasionally stops working after resuming from suspend. In these cases, if I start anything with sudo (e.g., sudo audacious), the...
Mc4Man: It took me a minute... Clever!! :o And yes, now I see it. I don't know how I missed it before.
Yeah, whoops... I remebered as I was going to sleep that I forgot to mark it. Will do.
Holy cow that was easy! Thank you! I wouldn't have thought to look at that button because it's log out/shut down etc. I was looking in System Settings instead.
I've been using xfce for the last...
As the title says... When I first plugged in my camera in my Wily Werewolf installation (Unity), I selected "open folder" and checked the "Always perform this action". Now I want to automatically...
Thank you Dennis N! That will do fine for a solution -- he's a clever kid and can handle doing that.
I narrowed the group assignment to enable the feature in mugshot down to sudo. I don't...
I just did an extra test and elevated his privleges to administrator level and that solved the problem. This is a completely unacceptable solution, though... I don't want him to have administrator...
