[15:40] so i can assign it [15:42] please ping me if you can help === Pici is now known as Guest87554 === Guest87554 is now known as Pici === iynque_ is now known as iynque [18:40] Is there any reason for the screensaver to activate at startup? [18:41] cimbakahn: the dæmon runs so it can turn on at the specified interval. [18:47] wxl, I like your, maybe danish accent ;) [18:47] XD [19:49] hello, wondering if anyone can help me. I decided to try some linux distro on my old notebook. I have tried ubuntu (lags a bit), lubuntu, lxle. Notebook has a n280 1.6GHz 1c/2t cpu, 2GB ram, nvidia ION LE gpu [19:50] Loke-ion: not sure what your question is. [19:50] on pretty much all of them LTS or latest seems there is not full driver support for the gpu. Also I am unable to change the brightness. Changing from nouveau to nvidia doesn't help [19:50] Loke-ion: what makes you think driver support is lacking? [19:50] propietary driver should support Ion quite well? [19:51] I have Ion2 board [19:51] outside brightness, when I login I get broken bits of stuff that look from my windows 7 partition [19:51] a friend said it's unassigned memory something [19:51] screenshot might be helpful [19:52] https://i.lokie.eu/eCU2mXvf1UYX.mp4 this is from when I tried lubuntu [19:53] is a screenshot possible? i don't feel like downloading an mp4. [19:53] you can stream it normally [19:53] here you go https://i.lokie.eu/t/llyrrBPLc4IM.png [19:54] desktop seems fine [19:54] what's it look like when opening a window? [19:54] after it finishes login in it's fine [19:55] a friend who is a software engineer said the above is: uninitialized video card memory [19:55] which means lack of full driver support [19:55] Loke-ion: sounds like you should have your friend submit some patches XD [19:55] are you using porpietary driver or the opensource one? [19:56] bioterror nouveau, tried the propietary driver too [19:56] latest and legacy [19:56] on lubuntu and lxle [19:56] and same? [19:56] wxl yea well doubt he will be very interested [19:57] I think so yea, have done so many reinstalls I am losing count [19:57] Loke-ion: if that is the problem, someone either needs to fix the problem in nouveau or you can hope and pray nvidia fixes it [19:57] Loke-ion: chances with the latter are small, of course [19:58] Loke-ion: nouveau is not an ubuntu product [19:58] I get systemd failed to load /path/video card something while it loads [19:58] you can report a bug here" https://wiki.freedesktop.org/nouveau/Bugs/ [19:58] to load ACL* [19:58] ok driver aside [19:58] "something" is not very descriptive. we'd need the full details [19:59] any idea about the brightness problem? [19:59] let me reboot it again wxl didn't have enough time to read it [19:59] they may be related actually [19:59] Loke-ion: don't [19:59] Loke-ion: you should be able to find it in /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/syslog [19:59] well too late [20:00] i don't see an ION LE here https://wiki.freedesktop.org/nouveau/CodeNames/ [20:01] Loke-ion: from what i see nouveau doesn't fully support the ion [20:01] systemd-udevd[413]: Failed to apply ACL on /dev/dri/card1: No such file or directory [20:02] doubt if even nvidia fully does :P looks more like a one time thing they did for net/note books [20:02] Loke-ion: doubtful that's related. [20:02] yeah this is the problem with nvidia unfortunately [20:03] so I am stuck changing brightness from the terminal [20:03] well it's possible the media key isn't recognized [20:03] if I use the brightness app on lxle it changes it but to me looks more like it applies a gray filter on it [20:03] cause the mouse pointer stays the same "bright" [20:04] you can use the openbox settings to change what keys do what [20:04] you just need to find out what key you have [20:05] mm on other distro fn was being registered as in I got the pop up with the bar [20:06] but no real change was happening [20:06] also fn for audio works in lxle [20:06] so steal the openbox settings from lxle and apply them to lubuntu [20:06] but change the program used to the one you use on the command line [20:09] ugh finally found it. xev will report what key is being input, Loke-ion [20:10] Loke-ion: or evtest [20:10] Loke-ion: or xinput test [20:11] Loke-ion: xinput is a little weird to use, though, as you need the id of the device from xinput list [20:12] um thanks though that will take some time [20:12] not familiar with all that [20:14] anyway wxl thank you, will try to play around a bit and see what I manage [20:15] btw if I remember correctly on ubuntu 15.10 brightness worked fine anyway to find out what it has the others don't? [20:15] Loke-ion: after you get some output back on what key is being used, i can help you hack your confgig [20:16] Loke-ion: sure. just find where all the hotkeys are defined and see what keycodes and what-have-you it uses [20:16] :P [20:16] yea that's well out of my skill level but I 'll see what I can do [20:17] Loke-ion: unfortunately, i don't know where that is as i don't use ubuntu, but you could ask on #ubuntu [20:18] alright will see if I can do it on weekend, got the logs from here so I should probably manage to explain myself [20:35] hi [20:36] leafpad is 700kb and when i try to install gedit it asks for 47mb wtf, is gedit that big or is id downloading whole gnome tree or somthign [20:37] gedit likes gnome packages [20:38] how about apt-get install --no-install-recommends gedit [20:38] does it make the size smaller? [20:45] w8 [20:45] i check [20:45] sorry waz other tab [20:46] yes now its 9733kB [20:52] in the end i installed mausepad [20:52] i only wnated sytacs highling [21:00] how to make [21:00] binbash script [21:01] not ask on duble click to execute or not [21:42] Greetings. I maintain a PPA for a prject, and I have a lubuntu user who insists that the .desktop launcher doesn't exist, but I know it does. Where does one find them in lubuntu? in /usr/share/applications like the other flavours? [21:56] Hello. Is lbuntu better than ubuntu for old computers [21:57] Yes. [22:01] that was quick' [22:20] caraka: Short and sweet ;) [22:21] yes. and I got my lubuntu user sorted out too. Of course it's all in the default directory :P [22:22] thank goodness for lightweight distros. More linux converts by the day [22:22] Gives more life to old equipment, simpler to understand [22:23] exactly
