[04:28] <cacofonix> I have, installed on my desktop computer before me, Xubuntu 17.10, which I installed from an older installation DVD I found recently. How do I upgrade to the latest version (18.04) of Xubuntu? Yesterday, when I logged on to my computer, a small graphical window program asked me if  want to upgrade to version 18.04. I didn't upgrade then. Since then
[04:28] <cacofonix> I have been unable to find that facility on this Xubuntu 17.10 machine.
[06:16] <Regor> how to disable same folder opening in multiple windows ?
[10:52] <csanyipal> Hi,
[10:56] <csanyipal> after upgrade my system Xubuntu 18.04 LTS I can't start an app by using a desktop icon.
[10:56] <csanyipal> I get an error like this: xubuntu ".desktop" failed to run Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply time out expired, or the network connection was broken.
[10:56] <csanyipal> What can I do to solve this issue?
[10:58] <gnrp> csanyipal: What app is that?
[10:59] <csanyipal> gnrp: every app behave like this: I can't start this way nay app.
[10:59] <csanyipal> any
[10:59] <brainwash> did you uninstall thunar?
[10:59] <csanyipal> No, I did not.
[11:00] <brainwash> try to run "thunar -q; Thunar"
[11:00] <brainwash> this should restart the thunar daemon
[11:00] <brainwash> capital t is not a typo
[11:01] <csanyipal> brainwash: I just started this command: "thunar -q; Thunar".
[11:01] <csanyipal> I get this message: Thunar: Failed to terminate running instance: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[11:02] <brainwash> mmh
[11:03] <brainwash> is there a thunar process running?
[11:03] <csanyipal> Just to say more: after a 30 seconds Thunar started.
[11:03] <csanyipal> with this command "thunar -q; Thunar".
[11:03] <brainwash> 30 seconds is the typical D-Bus timeout
[11:04] <brainwash> does starting desktop launchers work now?
[11:06] <csanyipal> brainwash: To be more clear, after I run the command "thunar -q; Thunar" after 30 seconds a File Manager Thunar started.
[11:06] <brainwash> right
[11:06] <brainwash> I want to know if that fixed your problem
[11:06] <csanyipal> but the desktop launchers does not work.
[11:07] <brainwash> clear ~/.cache/sessions and relog
[11:07] <csanyipal> I still get the same error message after I try to start one desktop launcher.
[11:08] <csanyipal> brainwash: Ok.
[11:10] <csanyipal> brainwash: I just can't run the command "clear ~/.cache/sessions", I just get this "Usage: clear [options] etc."
[11:10] <brainwash> clear as in "empty the folder content"
[11:11] <csanyipal> OK.
[11:11] <csanyipal> Did it. Now I am going to re-login.
[11:19] <csanyipal> brainwash: My issue is solved. Thank you very much!
[11:19] <brainwash> great :)
[11:20] <csanyipal> Have a nice day! I am going back to my work.
[11:20] <csanyipal> Bye!
[14:11] <Noboru55> hello, please someone can help me? Everytime i copy files to usb pendrive it stucks at the end, after few minutes it finish.... it happens to files like movies and other big files like iso. is there someway to fix it?
[14:12] <diogenes_> Noboru55, there is.
[14:13] <Noboru55> diogenes_ hey there
[14:13] <Noboru55> diogenes_how ?? :D
[14:13] <gnrp> Noboru55: There is no solution to it
[14:14] <Noboru55> gnrp :(  no
[14:14] <gnrp> Noboru55: This is first the write cache being filled up and then slowly writing it to the disk
[14:14] <diogenes_> http://dpaste.com/0897TXP
[14:14] <diogenes_> that is the solution.
[14:14] <Noboru55> gnrp but osx and windows doesnt work in the same way
[14:14] <gnrp> you could mount the drive in sync (the speed goes down even, but the progress bar would be proper) or get a faster usb drive...
[14:14] <Noboru55> lets see that dpaste firts
[14:15] <Noboru55> first*
[14:15] <gnrp> ah, or diogenes_ solution. This is essentially the first one, reducing the write cache
[14:15] <Noboru55> gnrp the dpaste do what u said i guess
[14:15] <Noboru55> slowly to copy but can work i guess
[14:16] <Noboru55> diogenes_ chromium is working better here... chrome was closing by itself..
[14:17] <Noboru55> diogenes_ thank u! for that dpast
[14:17] <diogenes_> Noboru55, could try with chrome --disable-gpu
[14:17] <gnrp> no, his solution is better than writing synchronously
[14:18] <Noboru55> going to try it
[14:18] <Noboru55> need i reboot ?
[14:19] <Noboru55> i will do anyway
[14:19] <Noboru55> thank u 2
[14:19] <Noboru55> i back to tell what happened
[14:19] <diogenes_> sudo sysctl -p is enough.
[14:19] <diogenes_> ops
[14:19] <gnrp> lol, two seconds too late
[14:19] <diogenes_> yes lol
[14:33] <Noboru55> diogenes_ worked!
[14:33] <Noboru55> the copy get slowly but its ok..
[14:34] <Noboru55> just used nano instead vi, because vi is for pro linux users
[14:34] <diogenes_> Noboru55, it didn't get slower, it's the true speed of copying the file.
[14:34] <Noboru55> really?
[14:34] <Noboru55> well worked anyway
[14:34] <diogenes_> if you have gotten a faster usb stick, the copying process would have been faster.
[14:35] <Noboru55> next week last step i'll install hp printer and scanner to use in xubuntu
[14:35] <Noboru55> diogenes_ i'll do it :D
[14:35] <Noboru55> but it doesnt stuck at the end now
[14:35] <diogenes_> and we're all waiting for this next big event of yours :D
[14:35] <Noboru55> very good
[14:35] <Noboru55> diogenes_ thank u so much
[14:35] <diogenes_> you're welcome.
[14:36] <Noboru55> going to supertuxkart
[14:36] <Noboru55> u should try online.. version 1.0
[14:36] <Noboru55> see u
[14:36] <diogenes_> tc
