[11:31] <de-facto> so what options would i have in gnome for a screensaver? i installed gnome-screensaver, but it does not have ANY options in settings, wheni launch it via cli it just says its already running, well GREAT, where can i configure this?
[11:32] <de-facto> is gnome-screensaver broken atm? or are there better options? what about xscreensaver instead?
[11:43] <jbicha> gnome-screensaver these days intentionally only blanks the screen
[11:50] <de-facto> hmm but gnome itself already can do that, i dont understand the purpose for the existence of gnome-screensaver then
[11:50] <de-facto> are there any options for having a classic screensaver like in the old gnome2 days?
[11:51] <jbicha> gnome uses gnome-screensaver to blank the screen
[11:52] <jbicha> you can try xscreensaver; I don't know how difficult it is to integrate with GNOME 3
[11:53] <de-facto> it was not installed on my box and it had that lockscreen blank out already
[11:56] <de-facto> i dont understand why all those options got removed, every release it seems there are less features avail
[11:56] <de-facto> for example there was a dialogue for choosing the pixel ordering of screens in gnome2
[11:57] <de-facto> was done really well, nice and clean and worked just perfectly
[11:57] <de-facto> nowerdays i have to click through dconf and find that setting there everytime i use gnome 3 on a BGR screen
[11:58] <de-facto> if i dont know that black magic, i would have to sit back and arrange myself with rainbow colored fonts
[11:58] <de-facto> in old gnome2 i just would have to be curious enough to click on settings and there, problem solved
[11:59] <jbicha> gnome-screensaver dropped support for doing more than blanking screens about 5 years ago
[11:59] <de-facto> yeah so its useless nowerdays, what for would i need gnome-screensaver then if it does exactly the same that gnome already can do without it?
[12:02] <jbicha> blanking the screen is all most people need now
[12:03] <jbicha> you're right that gnome-screensaver is not installed by default now; I forgot
[12:28] <de-facto> well it seems xscreensaver does not integrate at all with gnome, so i disable screen lock in gnome and let xscreensaver do it on its own :(
[13:58] <LinDol> hi all
[17:34] <noggerfroggereli> Hi, guys may i ask a question here?
[17:35] <noggerfroggereli> i didnt' remember to disable nvidia proprietary drivers before version upgrading to 16.04
[17:36] <noggerfroggereli> and tty7 is as dark as night
[17:37] <noggerfroggereli> i would like to know there is a way to simply revert to intel graphics from command line so i can install nvidia drivers properly?
[17:37] <noggerfroggereli> is there*
[17:37] <noggerfroggereli> :p

[20:46] <tux|dude> Hi
[20:47] <tux|dude> Just installed gnome remix yesterday. Made the jump from kubuntu. Found that while I liked plasma 5 it still had a few issues
