Thank you! For my education, what exactly have we done there? I did see upon reboot that the scary lines of code are all visible, which I think is the removal of 'quiet splash' but what does 'nomodset' and 'noacpi' do? And am I okay leaving those in the file forever, no untoward effects? Many thanks Dave Hi Dave glad you have got it booting Removing quiet splash means you can see the code on the screen and if there is an issue in the boot process it will stop at the line which is causing the problem which gives you a chance to sort out the issue. No modeset means don't try to force a display resolution ie don't set the graphic's card resolution. It will default to it's native resolution No acpi means don't try to set the acpi power configuration interface. Generally I have found that the ubuntu installer seems to run into trouble with those two parameters. However once you have got an install, you can usually boot normally as the installed system has enough drivers to sort it all out. A simplistic way of putting it. I f you can not boot normally once the system has been installed to the hard drive then you will have to include that line in your grub config which can be found in etc/default /grub, and you will need to copy it first to your desktop using sudo thunar to copy. Then using mousepad to edit the line. keep the updated grub off the system to keep it safe in case you ever need it again. Once you have edited the file replace it in /etc/default using sudo Thunar and reboot. If you have replaced the grub file then you need to run sudo update-grub to reset the boot parameters I have included an attachment of one of my versions of grub which may suit your purposes if you can't boot normally.

By default, Xubuntu shows "Server for Canada" in this field. When I choose Other I can manually pick from servers in Canada, or elsewhere if I desired... but there's also a button in the top right of the window that apparently tests for the best server. The button is labelled Select Best Server, and when you click on it, the system runs some (presumably) speed tests. I figured this might choose one of the Canadian servers, likely the one closest to me, but it ended up picking a server in Iran the first time, in Bulgaria the second time I tested, and a server in the U.S. the third time (at least that's a bit closer). I'm thinking there might be a bug in the software. I suppose those servers could be faster than the Canadian mirrors, but it is strange that every time it's something different... It would be interesting to see if others have similar results. Cheers, Charles p.s. using Xubuntu 22.04 It depends on the time of day and how much traffic is on the net.

Since then I run Debian but I like my Xubuntu. Attached I have a snapshot of what my partitions look like. Xubuntu is on /dev/sda5, which I temporarily mounted from Debian to see I could get rid of stuff, I can't really, it's pretty much all system stuff, and on my "home", Thunderbird is taking over 3Gb, the rest is small. Debian is on /dev/sda7 and /dev/sda6 is for backing up an HDD which is also mounted at startup. As you can see I have unallocated space at the end, apparently it can't be merged since one partition is logical and the other primary. I thought that if there was a way to merge them, I would roughly get 45 Gb of free space, which would be enough for Xubuntu IF SOMEONE COULD EXPLAIN TO ME HOW TO MOVE IT THERE I would appreciate any insights, thanks, Gérald Download a copy of gparted and use it to move stuff around -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

I don't see any of these errors on my other system which is still running 20.10. Looking at the X configuration in /etc/X11 I see that the has_option() function has been moved and (obviously) for some reason the place it has been moved to is either not being run at all or isn't being run before the function is used. I've searched and can't find any references to has_option() errors, should I report it as a bug and, if so, where? Is it worth using Synaptic and the fix broken option? I know there are still issues with NVIDIA cards and Wayland, so much so with my system I had to nuke it and do a reinstall from a usb key, after removing the .cache and .config files from my ~/ directory. Also with the terminal is it worth copying the bashrc files over from the unbroken system? luck cheers Chris -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

I had the same issue with 20.04, and found no solution. I installed 20.10, and the hplip drivers worked as they should. It is something to do with the qt files not being available in 20.04 Cheers da kiwi -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
