xubuntu01wwhat does lock screen mean and how do you unlock it00:51
K1rkxubuntu01w, lol lock screen would take you to a graphical login screen so other people can't access your computer.02:02
K1rkentering your password would unlock it02:02
K1rkIt is like what happens when you press Winkey+L on a windows pc02:03
Boss_Manhello03:53
liquidsnakehello03:58
Boss_Manmoving to Xubuntu in 16.0404:00
Boss_Manfrom LXDE04:00
Boss_Manapparently the Lubuntu team has decided in THEIR infinite wisdom that LXDE needs to turn QT04:00
Boss_Manand sorry but QT sucks04:00
Boss_Manthey're introducing it in 16.04, and 15.10's already prepped for it04:01
Boss_Manfound an lxqt directory in /etc/xdg04:01
Boss_Manthey're hoping to phase LXDE out completely come 17.0404:01
Boss_ManQT is so good..that's why a majority of apps are GTK and desktops are GTK right? lol04:02
Boss_Manthat's why the only desktops running QT are KDE, forks of KDE, and an obscure Razor-QT (that's now working on LXQT..because Razor-QT was so successful)04:03
Boss_Manheh04:03
Boss_ManI just love when a few individuals decide what's best.. that's how you get shit like systemd and unity04:04
Boss_Manoh well enough of my soapbox04:04
Boss_ManI haven't figured out if it's just the Lubuntu team or if it's LXDE as a whole doing this04:05
liquidsnakeyep i know what u mean04:05
Boss_Manbecause if it's just the Lubuntu team doing it04:05
Boss_ManI hope the Xubuntu team doesn't eat the same retard sandwiches04:05
liquidsnakeno doubt04:07
xanguaBoss_Man: lxqt is the new lxde04:19
Boss_Manso all the distros will be doing lxqt?04:19
Boss_Manso it's the lxde team eating the retard sandwiches04:20
Boss_Mannot just the lubuntu team04:20
Boss_Manoh well04:20
Boss_Man"Freedom of choice to run something else"04:20
Boss_Manheh04:20
liquidsnakelol04:25
Artemis3Boss_Man, qt doesn't suck, unless you mean it eats more ram, but so does gtk3.04:44
Boss_Manyeah the ram consumption isn't the issue so much04:48
Boss_ManI just never cared for the looks of QT04:48
Artemis3its alwo wayland ready04:48
Artemis3also04:49
Boss_Manyeah I know I've seen wayland04:49
Boss_Manblah04:49
Boss_ManI dunno just feels like this is the kind of attitude MS and Apple take04:50
Boss_Man"We like it and you will too"04:50
Artemis3there is a big difference04:50
Boss_Manlike lennary and his systemd04:50
Artemis3nothing stops you from forking it04:50
Boss_Manyeah I know04:50
Artemis3thats how we have mate today04:50
Boss_Manyeah and if you don't have the coding ability04:50
Boss_Manyou're fucked04:50
Boss_Manlike me04:50
Artemis3if you have the money you can always hire others04:51
Boss_Man"Well if you don't like it you can run something else or you can fork it or hire others"04:51
Boss_Manheh04:51
Artemis3correct04:51
Boss_Manfreedom of choice to like what we like or fuck yourself :) gotcha04:51
Artemis3you have choices04:51
Boss_Manoh yeah04:52
Artemis3with apple et all, you have none04:52
Boss_Manthey might not be realistic options04:52
Boss_Manbut you got em right lol04:52
Artemis3also there are lots of minimalist desktops04:52
Boss_Manno I'll just run xfce or openbox and hope that the openbox team or the xfce team doesn't do the same bullshit04:52
Artemis3openbox and tint2, just like good ol !#04:53
Boss_Manyeah I got spoiled with openbox04:53
Boss_Manand #!04:53
Boss_Manbut then the dev got butthurt04:53
Boss_Manat systemd04:53
Artemis3there is some fork of it ... bunsenlabs?04:54
Boss_ManI just worry because I had a track record of once I like something04:54
Artemis3something like that04:54
Boss_Mansomebody/something fucks it up04:54
Boss_Manyeah no thanks04:54
Boss_ManI've had experience with one off forks04:54
Artemis3thats how it is04:54
Boss_Manyep04:54
Artemis3ubuntu forked debian04:54
Artemis3its long tradition in open source04:54
Boss_Manyeah fragment the fuck out of the community and have holy wars04:54
Boss_Manthis is why I run linux but I generally stay the fuck out of the community :)04:55
Artemis3its simply someone wants to do something different04:55
Boss_ManI already got a few communities I am part of that have their holy wars and bullshit04:55
Boss_ManI don't have a problem with doing something different04:55
Boss_Manbut forcing it04:55
Boss_Manand giving people the "well you can fork it"04:55
Boss_Manwhen there's people like me04:56
Boss_Manthat can't do such things04:56
Artemis3yes you can04:56
Artemis3(tm)04:56
Boss_ManI don't have the coding ability sorry04:56
Boss_ManI'm one of them non coder slobs04:56
Boss_Manthat is a refugee from winblows04:56
Boss_Manso no coding ability means I'm pretty much at the mercy of the lennary poetterings of the world04:57
Boss_Manor the LXQT Team04:57
Artemis3xfce is good enuf04:57
Boss_Manor whoever else04:57
Boss_Manlike I said04:57
Boss_ManI'll look at openbox or xfce04:57
Boss_Manand hope their team doesn't do the same bullshit04:57
Artemis3im checking lxqt from time to time and ill test it later04:57
Boss_Manthat's all I can do04:57
Artemis3for a pure qt desktop i find it interesting04:58
Boss_Mantrust me if I could fork something I would04:58
Boss_Manwell I was really polite to the guy I was talking to04:59
Boss_Maninvolved with the project04:59
Boss_Manall I said was hey look leave it as an option04:59
Artemis3they probably have a channel on freenode04:59
Boss_Manand it's going to be official in 16.10 and hopefully by 17.04 LXDE will be replaced by it04:59
Artemis3oh lubuntu04:59
Artemis3nvm04:59
Boss_Manwhen what I really should have said is "if QT is so fucking good how come GTK dominates apps and desktops"05:00
Boss_ManI know the score05:00
Boss_Manthe Razor-QT team needs to find a project that maybe people will give a shit about05:00
Boss_Mansince nobody cared about Razor-QT05:00
Artemis3lxde dev did.05:01
Boss_Manyeah and that's fine05:01
Boss_Manlike I said I'll look at openbox or XFCE05:01
Boss_Manand hope they don't do the same shit05:01
Unhammerhey, on 16.10, on resuming from suspend suddenly most of the characters on my screen turned invisible (or, same as background colour), so I logged out, at which point I got the message that Desktop had crashed. On reboot, I have no desktop (just some blue default background without icons, doesn't catch right-click), only the panel. How do I start debugging this?06:42
knomethere is no 16.1006:44
Unhammerargh sorry 16.0406:45
Unhammerxfdesktop4 4.12.3-2ubuntu106:46
knomewhich graphics card are you using?06:48
Unhammerit's a thinkpad X200, so some intel I guess …06:48
Unhammerintel, Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller06:49
Unhammerdriver=i91506:49
Unhammeroh hah if I type xfdesktop in a terminal, it shows again06:51
Unhammerso why doesn't it start automatically …06:51
knomeif you run xfdesktop, then log out and in, does it work then?06:52
Unhammeroh, after a relogin, now it does!06:52
Unhammer(after running xfdesktop once manually)06:52
knomethen sounds just like your session was saved without it running06:52
Unhammerso I probably won't be able to debug this :-/ Something went wrong, but hm06:53
Unhammerooh that would explain why it started a term as well the second time06:53
Unhammer(i typically dont' save sessions)06:53
Unhammerbut why would it save that it's *not* running?06:53
Unhammershouldn't xfdesktop be exempt from session-saving anyway?06:54
knomeno06:54
knomefor example you might want to run another desktop manager06:54
Unhammerit crashed though, and I couldn't read the text since it was all white – which is probably how I hit the "save session" on trying to log out06:56
knomemhm06:56
UnhammerI feel like there ought to be some friendlier way to avoid that06:56
Unhammere.g. noticing that you're running *no* DM?06:57
knomewell06:57
knomesuggestion (and especially patches) welcome06:57
Unhammer:)06:57
knomewhat if it was something you wanted to do?06:57
Unhammerof course; but given the possibility of situations like this, it'd be nice if xubuntu could both allow for the power user case, and not lead to borked systems for the non-power users06:59
knomei don't think how that is possible though06:59
knomebecause the latter implies we should always take care of making sure we launch some stuff if possible07:00
knomeand power users wouldn't like that07:00
knomeanyway, this shouldn'y happen very often07:00
UnhammerI find things that shouldn't happen very often, do happen very often on my less technical friends' installations :( but I guess I'll try coming up with something on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session07:02
flocculantif you're going to do something then https://bugzilla.xfce.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Xfdesktop would be better - if nothing else you'll get more people saying why not or can't :)07:05
Unhammeraha, thanks07:05

xubuntu60wHey, so I created a .themes folder in my home directory. How do I access the themes I have moved there via the 'appearance' window in settings?20:14
xubuntu60wOnly the default themes are accessible20:14
xubuntu60wMust I move the themes to usr/share/themes instead?20:15
xubuntu60wMy terminal knowledge is extremely basic.20:16
knomeif you will only use the themes on that user, they are ok in ~/.themes20:16
xubuntu60wOk, and yes I'm the only user on my machine.20:17
xubuntu60wSo how do I access the themes in that folder so I may change from the default themes?20:17
xubuntu60wActually, it looks like one of the two themes I downloaded are now accessible from the settings menu20:19
xubuntu60wThe other doesn't seem to show up though20:20
knomewhat subfolders does the theme have?20:20
xubuntu60wdarklude/xfwm4/20:21
xubuntu60wThen a bunch of .xpm files20:21
xubuntu60wand a plain text doc20:21
knomexubuntu60w, that's a window manager theme, so you need to change that under settings manager -> window manager20:22
xubuntu60wGot it20:22
xubuntu60wMy mistake20:22
xubuntu60wthanks20:22
rfcreekI'm trying to get xubuntu running on a baytrail-based netbook and my touchpad doesn't work properly. Is it possible to force xubuntu to use a different module or is there another way to troubleshoot the problem?20:23
rfcreekI think the touch pad is recognized as hid generic but it seems the multi touch is sending additional data that this driver might interpret incorrectly20:24
rfcreekso with every input action on the touchpad it also recognizes a change in the y axis which moves the mouse cursor slightly upwards. If I move left/right it also moves equally upwards20:25
rfcreeksadly I'm not very versed when it comes to modules20:27
