| glitchd | anytime i create a new image, weather its a jpg or a png, if i save it to the desktop the icon shows a gear with line through it. but if i clear the thumnail cache and logout/in, it displays fine. what could be the problem? | 19:07 |
| glitchd | and its specific to if i save it to the desktop, if i save it to my home folder the icon displays fine. | 19:09 |
| Spass | glitchd: does pressing F5 on the desktop works? | 19:12 |
| glitchd | Spass, ill check | 19:12 |
| glitchd | Spass, wtf. yes! my god thats so much simpler | 19:13 |
| glitchd | Spass, any idea why this happens? | 19:14 |
| Spass | what icon theme are you using? because my guess is that gear is just a default icon for PNG and JPG in that set, or it's broken | 19:14 |
| glitchd | elementary i believe | 19:14 |
| glitchd | elementary xfce darker to be exact | 19:16 |
| glitchd | i also have another problem with this icon theme that ive been trying to solve | 19:16 |
| glitchd | here is the link to a picture of the problem https://s21.postimg.org/y6fjyipgn/Untitled.jpg | 19:17 |
| glitchd | the pictures category shows the same broken gear as the picture files did | 19:17 |
| glitchd | i can be fixed with a different theme, but i like this theme so id like to keep it | 19:18 |
| Spass | yes, I tried to help you with this issue last time, but you went away | 19:18 |
| glitchd | oh.. | 19:18 |
| glitchd | i try not to overstay my welcome in these rooms | 19:19 |
| Spass | give me a sec, I will tell you what to do | 19:19 |
| glitchd | Spass, thank you | 19:19 |
| Spass | ok, first, download this icon https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8qh4-wxxEZ7em81UWJOWmhNNDQ | 19:23 |
| glitchd | Spass, got it | 19:24 |
| Spass | and save it in your main home folder (/home/your_username/image-x-generic.png) | 19:24 |
| glitchd | done | 19:25 |
| Spass | then use this command in the terminal | 19:26 |
| Spass | sudo cp ~/image-x-generic.png /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/mimes/16/ | 19:26 |
| glitchd | done | 19:27 |
| Spass | that's it | 19:27 |
| glitchd | wow. | 19:28 |
| glitchd | all the typing and asking ive done, and it was that simple | 19:28 |
| glitchd | wth.. | 19:28 |
| glitchd | dammit thank you | 19:28 |
| Spass | np | 19:29 |
| glitchd | care to try your hand at another problem? | 19:29 |
| Spass | I don't know what's with that gear icons tho, I checked and I have proper PNG/JPG icons | 19:30 |
| Spass | but... I have the same problem with Thunar refreshing | 19:30 |
| glitchd | meh | 19:30 |
| glitchd | no biggie | 19:30 |
| glitchd | but that wasnt what i was gonna ask | 19:30 |
| glitchd | lol | 19:30 |
| Spass | I just must press F5 | 19:30 |
| Spass | the same thing is with extracting files for example, I must refresh to see the proper folder name of an extracted file | 19:31 |
| Spass | it could be a Thunar issue in Xubuntu 16.04 but I'm not sure | 19:31 |
| glitchd | thats what i was thinking | 19:32 |
| glitchd | just a problem in this release | 19:32 |
| glitchd | as each release has somekind of stupid problem lol | 19:32 |
| glitchd | i have a question regarding hdmi sound.. | 19:33 |
| knome | glitchd, you are welcome to contribute and make sure those "stupid problems" do not slip out (: | 19:33 |
| glitchd | knome, right on | 19:34 |
| glitchd | knome, i help when i can | 19:34 |
| glitchd | Spass, care to tackle this hdmi problem, maybe not a problem but a setting perhaps.. | 19:35 |
| Spass | I probably won't be a help with this, but just describe your problem here | 19:36 |
| glitchd | ok | 19:36 |
| Spass | maybe someone will know how to solve it | 19:36 |
| Spass | my suggestion, when nobody replies, just minimize HexChat, and forget about it for some time, then come back and check | 19:37 |
| glitchd | i use my 50" tv as my monitor. my sound goes to the tv speakers, however, instead of using a screensaver i just kill the screen with a script that calls dkms to kill the power to the screen. when i use this script it reverts the sound back to the laptop | 19:37 |
| glitchd | id like the sound to stay on the tv so i can have it as background music for whatever im doing | 19:38 |
| glitchd | even thou it doesnt display anything, thats fine | 19:38 |
| glitchd | ouch just got cig ash in my eye.. | 19:38 |
| knome | a tv is designed to be used to output both video and audio; basically you can't turn off the connection if you want audio out | 19:40 |
| knome | you get both | 19:40 |
| glitchd | knome, hmmm...no way around it? | 19:41 |
| Spass | I could be shooting blanks here, but what's your default output device in your sound preferences? this is a third tab in that settings window | 19:41 |
| glitchd | Spass, i have selected the hdmi to be the default, but the problem persists | 19:41 |
| glitchd | Spass, when i kill the screen it acts as if i unplugged the hdmi cable | 19:42 |
| knome | glitchd, let me put it a different way... both signals are sent through the hdmi cable... if you tell the computer not to send any signal via hdmi, how could the audio signal get through? | 19:42 |
| glitchd | knome, dang, that makes much more sense | 19:43 |
| knome | you could send just black signal to the monitor... or you could buy a speaker that can take in the signal you want it to output | 19:44 |
| knome | (i understand "buy more hardware" isn't the answer you want, but...) | 19:44 |
| glitchd | knome, might not be the answer i was looking for, but no i understand why its happening | 19:45 |
| knome | your tv might have an option to turn video off but keep audio on | 19:45 |
| glitchd | knome, thank you | 19:45 |
| glitchd | and Spass thank you also | 19:45 |
| knome | if you are looking for a long-term solution and don't mind a smallish hardware purchase, a bluetooth speaker (given that your laptop/pc has bluetooth) could be very well worth it in the long run | 19:46 |
| glitchd | knome, eh not enough of a problem to warrant a purchase | 19:47 |
| glitchd | if anything i could just switch to a terminal, thats almost the same a a blank screen | 19:48 |
| glitchd | and its funny that i just now thought of that | 19:49 |
| glitchd | no matter=) | 19:51 |
| glitchd | would either of you know how i could get grub to display on my tv instead of only on the laptop? | 19:51 |
| knome | i think at that point the laptop display is always the primary display at that point, so i'm really not sure | 19:52 |
| glitchd | heres the weird part | 19:52 |
| glitchd | i have x86 installed on one partition and x64 installed on another. if i boot the x64 install, then reboot, grub shows on the tv, but not when i boot into and reboot from the x86 install | 19:53 |
| glitchd | that makes me think its some setting again | 19:53 |
| knome | did you install the other system when the external monitor was the primary one? | 19:54 |
| glitchd | i dont believe so | 19:55 |
| knome | anyway, you can compare the lines starting with "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" on /etc/default/grub | 19:55 |
| glitchd | knome, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" in both files | 19:58 |
| knome | this idea is based on http://askubuntu.com/questions/712111/forcing-grub-menu-to-external-monitor-connected-to-laptop-via-hdmi-vga | 19:59 |
| knome | but please note that this indeed makes the laptop not show grub if you aren't connected via that port | 19:59 |
| glitchd | wow..maybe i dont want it then | 20:00 |
| glitchd | that could pose a problem... | 20:00 |
| glitchd | it just seems super weird that it shows on one install but not the other | 20:01 |
| Spass | what about this file? ~/.config/monitors.xml | 20:03 |
| knome | i'm pretty sure it's related to the primary monitor on install time | 20:03 |
| Spass | maybe here is the difference | 20:03 |
| knome | grub doesn't read your /home | 20:03 |
| glitchd | ill check that file right now | 20:04 |
| knome | you'll just waste your time... | 20:05 |
| Spass | I will be quiet now :) | 20:05 |
| knome | even if grub accessed your file system, which it doesn't, it would have absolutely zero idea which /home directory it would read | 20:05 |
| glitchd | Spass, um..that file does not exist on either install | 20:05 |
| Spass | maybe it's nvidia related, nevermind | 20:06 |
| Spass | stupid me | 20:06 |
| knome | it can't be nvidia related either, as glitchd just said it's different per two installs on the same machine | 20:06 |
| glitchd | thats why its super weird | 20:07 |
| glitchd | 16.04.1 for both | 20:07 |
| knome | i wouldn't say weird, it's likely just a grub configuration issue | 20:07 |
| Spass | what I mean was a monitor.xml file is related to nvidia | 20:07 |
| glitchd | they are essentially the same, just different archs | 20:07 |
| knome | Spass, it isn't, but it's not related to grub either :) | 20:08 |
| glitchd | the x86 was installed first, then the x64 if that matters | 20:08 |
| knome | there are many configuration files that don't need to exist if the default/automatical guess is working | 20:08 |
| Spass | I just though it may be somehow be considered when rebooting from a working system, but yeah... that thought wasn't smart | 20:09 |
| glitchd | and now that im thinking more about it, i believe i was using the big screen when i installed the x64 | 20:09 |
| knome | there you go | 20:09 |
| glitchd | how can i track down what to change then? | 20:09 |
| glitchd | its not super essential, just something id like to change | 20:10 |
| glitchd | i keep my laptop almost all the way closed and its not right next to me so i have to get up, lift the screen then select the os, its just inconvenient is all | 20:11 |
| glitchd | and id like to change it if possible | 20:11 |
| glitchd | if i cant, i guess ill have to wait for 16.10 to come out and reinstall while using the big screen | 20:12 |
| knome | again, it's most likely grub configuration | 20:15 |
| glitchd | but it seemed that both grub files were exactly the same except which partitions it was booting from | 20:17 |
| glitchd | welp i think im done for today | 20:25 |
| glitchd | thanks again guys | 20:26 |
| glitchd | your help is and was much appreciated | 20:26 |
| glitchd | ill probably be back tomorrow to try and hash this out some more | 20:26 |
| glitchd | until then, | 20:26 |
| glitchd | adios | 20:26 |
