[01:42] <kj4> hello all!
[01:42] <kj4> How do I get Xubuntu to stop forcing 3840x2160 desktop resolution, and lock it at 2560x1440 ?

[14:26] <fixmer> hi
[14:27] <fixmer> how to remove the favourite menu from startmenu?
[14:27] <fixmer> menulibre doesent seems to help me
[14:30] <pmjdebru1jn> not sure if that's possible, does it matter much?
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> fixmer: grep -Ri favo ~/.config/xfce*
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> might give you a lead
[14:31] <pmjdebru1jn> maybe if you remove all items it will disappear on its own?
[14:40] <fixmer> thanks pmjdebru1jn, ill try
[16:17] <xubuntu37i> (Hi - may I ask for some advice? I am installing XUbuntu: I created a RAID 1 LD array using the embedded controller. During the installation dialog: it shows two separate drives (sda/sdb) - has it ignored the embedded card's array?
[16:24] <genii> More likely is that the embedded controller does not perform true hardware RAID
[16:25] <flocculant> xubuntu37i: hi - not got any experience with Raid - but rather than you wait for no answer if you don't get one soon - you can ask that in #ubuntu where more people are active
[16:25] <genii> Since if it did, you would only be presented with a single device
[16:25] <flocculant> lol at posting that at the same time as genii :)
[16:26] <genii> flocculant: I had a minute or two between lunch mouthfuls to respond :)
[16:26] <flocculant> :)
[16:27] <genii> Heh, and they timed out anyways
[16:28] <flocculant> *shrug*

[17:24] <knome> thief_and_a_liar, we have #xubuntu-offtopic for offtopic chatter and youtube link pasting.
[19:31] <xubuntu80w> Hi guys, I am trying to configure a VPN on xubuntu by choosing "import a saved VPN configuration" from the network manager (GUI), as I got the config files saved. I noticed that once I pick up a server the only tabs I have got is General, Proxy, IPv4 settings and Ipv6 settings. I am missing the VPN tab. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? (First time with xubuntu). Thanks a lot for your help
[21:38] <runnicd> I have blurry font rendering on Chrome [only]. How to fix it?
[21:48] <drleviathan> I've never seen this problem, but started googling it.  It appears to be common enough to happen on both linux and windows.  The fix may have something to do with libfreetype.
[21:49] <runnicd> I did google it, followed a few troubleshoots, no results. Is this "libfreetype" a missing package that I may download?
[21:50] <drleviathan> BTW, what version of xubuntu?  18.04 or something older?
[21:50] <runnicd> 18.04
[21:50] <drleviathan> and this problem started on first install?  or sometime later?
[21:52] <runnicd> I'm not really sure. I did however update Chrome, but I happen to notice the problem out of the blue. So I'm not sure when it started.
[21:52] <drleviathan> I note that I have libfreetype installed:   $ dpkg -l | grep libfreetype
[21:52] <drleviathan> also my google version is 66 something:  $ google-chrome --version
[21:53] <runnicd> Google Chrome 66.0.3359.181
[21:54] <runnicd> output: ii  libfreetype6:amd64                    2.8.1-2ubuntu2                         amd64        FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files
[21:54] <drleviathan> you might try moving your google-chrome config to the side to see if the problem goes away:  $ mv ~/.config/google-chrome ~/.config/old-google-chrome
[21:54] <drleviathan> that is, close chrome and then move your config to the side
[21:54] <drleviathan> restart crhome
[21:55] <drleviathan> if the problem goes away then the problem is somewhere inside your old config files, if not it would probably be a problem with the system, or google-chrome's interaction with it
[21:55] <drleviathan> my google-chrome version is 66.0.3359.139
[21:56] <drleviathan> I haven't done an "apt-get upgrade" in a couple weeks
[21:56] <drleviathan> (you can recover your config by closing chrome, moving the old-google-chrome dir back to google-chrome, and restaring the browser)
[21:57] <drleviathan> (er... you'd first want to remove the recent "clean" google-chrome config dir before moving the old one back)
[21:57] <runnicd> Hmmm, could be the update then?
[21:57] <drleviathan> yes, plausible
[21:58] <runnicd> Perhaps I should wait for another update. Meanwhile, I'm gonna stick with Firefox.
[21:59] <drleviathan> sounds like a good plan
[22:00] <runnicd> Thank you drleviathan, I appreciate your time.
