| xubuntu27w | Quick question - has anyone encountered a problem with the onscreen keyboard at login/resume? It doesn't seem to pass input to the user/pass text fields. Problem clears up once you get logged in, but if you NEED the on screen keyboard to get logged in, it can be sort of problematic. ; ) | 00:00 |
| GridCube | oh | 00:00 |
| GridCube | i havent | 00:00 |
| GridCube | but please report it | 00:00 |
| xubuntu27w | Gridcube: Naw, that's a GOOD thing. More people, more experience. = ) | 00:00 |
| xubuntu27w | Already did. I submitted it as an onboard bug. | 00:01 |
| xubuntu27w | As a followup question, is there any simple way to swap the onscreen keyboard to a different virtual keyboard program, to test if it's actually an onboard problem, or if it's actually a desktop/screenlocker issue? | 00:02 |
| GridCube | i would not know, sorry | 00:02 |
| xubuntu27w | I googled it, but as you can imagine, there's not a lot of people clamoring for a different keyboard on the login screen. | 00:02 |
| GridCube | well the people who implemented our greeter is arround here, so they might now, you might have to wait for them to read :) | 00:03 |
| xubuntu27w | No worries. I'll lurk for a while to see if the question piques anyone else's interest, but I appreciate you chatting to me as I popped in. = ) | 00:03 |
| xubuntu27w | Hehe, I'm not in any huge hurry. The thing works almost perfectly aside from that (Vivid is AWESOME). And I own an IT company. I can pop a keyboard or 30 on it if I forget and let it suspend. It's an Aspire Switch 11 - one of those tablet/laptop hybrids. Vivid Vervet is the only OS other than Win8 that actually seems to get along with the thing, and I HATE Win 8. Tried 7 (decent O/S) but the touchscreen has no driver. And Tru | 00:07 |
| xubuntu74w | Hello all. I need some help. I'm running 15.04 on a Dell latitude e7440. Battery preformance hasn't been great (when doing basic web browsing). How can I improve the battery life on my machine? | 00:13 |
| xubuntu74w | Could this mean that my hardware is not optimized to run xubuntu? | 00:16 |
| xubuntu27w | If the battery performance was good before you installed 15.04, you might want to check and see if there's any GPU-/CPU-heavy processes running in the background, and if they can be done away with. | 00:17 |
| xubuntu74w | Was running win 8.1 before with better preformance | 00:18 |
| xubuntu74w | (the default OS on this laptop) | 00:19 |
| xubuntu27w | Of course. = ) Win 8.1 that came with that laptop probably had its software carefully optimized for the OEM distribution of it specific to that laptop. You'll prolly wanna tweak it similarly in Xubuntu. | 00:19 |
| xubuntu74w | Being new to linux in general, what system software can I use to tweak such settings? | 00:21 |
| xubuntu74w | I do not yet have the knowledge to work out of the terminal | 00:21 |
| xubuntu27w | Weeell, I'm more used to SuSE than Ubuntu variants, but I'd check the stuff n the autostart first and foremost, then the desktop environment settings. Scale back on any GPU-heavy stuff, make sure deamons that are constantly polling stuff that doesn't need to be polled are turned off, and, of course, if you're not using the bluetooth/IR/WiMAX/whatever radios, be sure to turn them off. | 00:22 |
| xubuntu74w | Great, thanks for the tips | 00:23 |
| xubuntu27w | No probs! (To be honest, I'm actually here for help too. There's a quirk in 15 with the on-screen keyboard, but only during login/resume. Was hoping someone could help me out. heheh) | 00:24 |

| Unit193 | oiu: Whatever you want to show up as your name. | 08:34 |
| Unit193 | Mine is 'Unit 193' | 08:35 |
