[11:09] <PeterGustav> Just installed XUbuntu 17.10
[11:10] <PeterGustav> - Mouse pointer speed is not adjustable
[11:10] <PeterGustav> - I can't get the taskbar on the primary monitor unless I position the primary monitor on the left side
[11:11] <PeterGustav> - The Grub bootloader does not react to keypresses, I'm basically locked-out of the other OSes
[11:11] <PeterGustav> Well done folks
[11:11] <PeterGustav> Will you guys ever make a desktop OS, that doesn't piss me off already in the first 10 minutes of use?
[13:24] <foca__> Is the servers with any problem today ? My system is taking a long time to download packages
[14:41] <MrRobot7> I upgraded from Xubuntu 16.10 to 17.04 to 17.10, Chrome is very sluggish and laggish, pages and it's own gui part of the app, is there known fix for that?
[16:33] <foca__> Getting this error in my Xubuntu...[pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. What' this could be ?
[16:34] <torv> foca__: Try a local mirror for faster DL.
[16:40] <foca__> torv: Pulseaudio is related with that ?
[16:42] <torv> foca__: No, but your "taking a long time to download packages" may.
[16:51] <foca__> torv: I did what you've said and the packages are downloading normally now ... thanks
[16:52] <foca__> This is an error that is showing in logs ... [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
[17:04] <flocculant> foca__: re pulseaudio - do you actually have an issue with sound? or just worry about some log entry?
[19:04] <sorinello> Hello. I am running xubuntu 17.10 but  I formattted using ext4 a external disk, after mounting it, Thunar does not give me any write permissions
[19:04] <sorinello> looking in mtal, I see that the drive is mounted as arw
[19:04] <sorinello> it is mounted under /media/myusername
[19:04] <sorinello> and yet, I still have no write permissions
[19:12] <sorinello> I have chwoned the entire dir recursively, and Thunar still doesn't let me create files or dirs
[19:13] <sorinello> ok, nvm, seems thunar needed a restart
[19:39] <jetage> Has anyone else encountered weird handling of usb thumb drives with 17.10?
[19:48] <well_laid_lawn> jetage:  are the being mounted and you can't write to them ?
[19:49] <jetage> On insertion, empty 8GB drive shows up on desktop as 8GB drive with no volume name, then also as an empty 1.3 GB drive mounted by another user.  Opening this mounts a duplicate.
[19:51] <well_laid_lawn> !bugs
[19:51] <jetage> Do you know what package this would implicate?
[19:55] <well_laid_lawn> I would guess it would be xfdesktop
[19:56] <jetage> Interesting note, 1.3 GB is the size of Xubuntu 17.10 image, which this was used to install, but drive has been reformatted back to a single partition.
[19:56] <knome> because it shows partitions that *are* mounted?
[19:57] <jetage> Shows up as expected on a machine running 17.04.
[20:05] <jetage> Deceptive observation, proves.  Just inserted 16GB drive - it does same thing, with 1.3GB drives mounted by another user, creating duplicates when clicked.
[20:06] <knome> is this a clean install?
[20:07] <jetage> Not on bare metal.  Upgrade from 17.04, via usb image, because software updater crashed.
[20:15] <jetage> Okay, I have experiments to perform.  Was just wondering if anyone else had encountered the like.
[20:26] <ddoobb> how to search files in Thunar? Ctrl+F doesn't only matches initial string.
[21:13] <xubuntu55d> Please advise how to get the volume icon back @ top bar. Thanks.
[23:39] <xubuntu26i> install eclipse c
