[08:14] will 17.04 come with LxQT default? [08:17] Nope. [08:18] is there a timeline for LxQt transition? [11:16] Yea when is it switching to lxqt? [12:09] good question it should 1 or 2 years ago already :P [12:09] I am not sure if it will ever [12:52] how do I make it so that I don't have to enter a password to get back to my desktop after the screen saver comes on? new install of lubuntu here. I'm not worried about security, its just a PC connected to my TV [13:08] nevermind, figured it out [13:08] Here's a photo of my desktop. Can someone tell me what this icon is? Running Lubuntu. Whenever I click it, it does nothing. https://snag.gy/MFZvIA.jpg [15:01] Here's a photo of my desktop. Can someone tell me what this icon is? Running Lubuntu. Whenever I click it, it does nothing. https://snag.gy/MFZvIA.jpg [15:04] funny [15:05] I'm intrigued [15:11] yeah what is it? [15:11] or more importantly...how do I get rid of it? [15:16] looks like a broken spacer. But might be something running in the tray hard to tell [15:22] what can I do? [15:22] it's annoying [15:36] Scungielli: check autostart apps first [15:36] and then the panel settings [15:36] how do I check autostart apps? [15:38] preferences -> lxsession -> autostart [15:38] gotcha, but I dunno what that icon is, so I dunno which to disable [15:39] disable one by one and see when the icon disappears. [15:39] from the screenshot I did not see the network manager [15:39] ah sorry [15:39] there it is [15:40] just a bit weird placed [15:40] hard to tell what it is but it seems to be some tray icon from some application [15:40] disable and restart? [15:41] logout and relogin [15:41] from the autostart tab of LXSession Configuration? [15:42] yeah disable and then logout and back in [15:44] hi [15:44] can anyone makes me a favor ? [15:44] set the gtk theme to lubuntu default, open gnote, tell me which is the background color ? [16:04] leszek - ok so its the Dropbox icon. I still want the Dropbox program to autostart, but I don't need it showing in the system tray. so how do I disable the indicator icon? especially since its not displaying correctly anyways [16:05] Scungielli: hmm... its proprietary not sure. take a look at the settings of dropbox [18:11] I'm running an old laptop. Intel Core2 T5500 @ 1.66GHZ with 2gb RAM. With this spec machine, should I run Lubuntu or Ubuntu? [18:11] Scungielli: probably either, but Lubuntu will better use your resources. [18:12] would ubuntu be sluggish? [18:12] more sluggish. [18:12] gotcha [18:12] thanks for the info [18:12] sure [18:12] btw new version is *JUST* about to come out [18:14] new version of what? Lubuntu or Ubuntu? [18:15] all of the above [18:15] in fact, every flavor of ubuntu [18:15] 17.04 Zesty Zapus should be out this week [22:00] Hi, i have installed lubuntu but my sound didn't work, i didn't change anything but when I plug my headphones the sound works, how can i solve this? [22:04] Hi, I have installed Lubuntu yesterday but my sound didn't work, i didn't change anything but the headphones work fine, what can I do to solve this? [22:05] maka145: Is everything plugged in interally? [22:05] maka145: What updates have you installed recently? [22:05] maka145: what version? [22:06] Oh, good idea too ^ [22:07] I just installed the latest updates automatically, yes, everything is pluged. [22:07] which version of lubuntu? [22:07] I'm using the 16.10 version [22:07] ok so pulse. harumph. [22:08] 16.10 [22:08] what chip, maka145? and what kernel module? you can find this with `lspci -nnk` [22:09] wait a minute [22:12] snd_hda_intel [22:12] if that is what are you asking [22:13] the chip being used is what, 10de:0be3? [22:13] 1179:ff10 [22:14] you could try installing pavucontrol and see if there's anything funky there [22:16] already did that, everything is unmuted. Output device is ok, everything should be fine [22:16] will alsamixer open? [22:18] it opens normally, only beep is set up to zero [22:18] speakers are on maximum [22:18] across all the sound cards? you can see them all with `aplay -l` [22:20] there is only one sound cards there, Intel [HDA Intel] [22:21] i selected it in alsamixer pressing F6 but it didn't work [22:21] and that's confirmed with `aplay -l` correct? [22:23] yes, it shows board 0 : Intel HDA, device 0: ALC268 Analog [22:23] ok [22:23] bear with me. i odn't have this hardware but i've hard of others having this problem [22:26] Thats weird, sound was fine using Windows 7(probably because realtek drivers), but with lubuntu i've reinstalled twice and it didn't work, but headphones work, which is fine for the moment at least [22:26] that's not weird [22:26] commercial entities rarely care about open source, so they're left to reverse engineer drivers [22:27] looking at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=803343&p=5017453#post5017453 it's unclear if ALC268 is supported [22:29] thats sad, i liked this distro a lot [22:31] what laptop is this, maka145 ? [22:32] an old Toshiba Satellite A205 which i didn't use for a long time [22:33] ok so let's see if there's anything funky happening with the driver [22:33] try: [22:33] sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel # unloads the driver [22:33] sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel #loads the driver [22:34] grep snd_hda_intel /var/log/dmesg # checks to see any output related to the driver [22:37] i've downloaded realtek driver for linux [22:37] and in the readme.txt it says [22:37] ALC268 is supported [22:37] should i try later? [22:38] unfortunately, that's not necessarily something well supported by the community. there's no way they could support it. so, you could try that, but you'd probably need ot consult realtek about that. [22:40] ok, i'll try your solution first [22:41] mine wasn't a solution but a diagnostic measure [22:43] it says [22:44] "Module snd_hda_intel is in use" [22:44] try killing pulseaudio and alsa first [22:48] on the last command [22:48] it says "file or directory not found" [22:48] try just using `dmesg | grep snd_hda_intel` [22:53] sorry [22:54] just run out of batery [22:54] i typed now [22:54] there is a lot of text [22:54] you can output it to a pastebin
