jones641Hello everyone! Anybody know pulseaudio stuff?11:54
cfhowlettvague questions >>> vague answers ...11:55
cfhowlett!details11:55
ubottuPlease elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel.11:55
jones641oh sorry.. I've got a thinkpad R61 with broken jack sensing. I've managed to disable it by removing load-module module-switch-on-port-available from /etc/pulse/default.pa11:58
jones641but when I reboot or leave standby mode (as you do on a laptop) it automutes the headphone output. I can only then use it by manually turning the output back on using alsamixer11:59
jones641I've also made a youtube video to show what happens when I don't disable jack sensing12:02
cfhowlettjones641, suggest you bring all of this to #ubuntu12:02
cfhowlettmore eyes to see ...12:02
jones641mkay12:03
jones641omg, I'm so sorry for wasting your time, lol14:10
jones641it wasn't pulseaudio, it was the intel_hda_powersave option of PowerTOP that broke everything14:11
APoliTechHi all! I have some questions if i may! i am coming from ubuntu mate where from 14.10 i am helping with bug reports in the alfa/beta stages of the releases. i wanna help in any way i can hare. Is there any way to help testing the gtk3 ports of the apps? Is there a tutorial for applets under gtk3?14:37
akxwi-daveAPoliTech:  take a look here..14:39
akxwi-davehttps://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa14:39
akxwi-davealso if its gtk3 specific  contact flocculant  here on irc as he is working closely with upstream on testing the new GTK3 apps with Xfce14:41
akxwi-davewe also ran a tester session last friday here on irc... the log files here, and will make good reading https://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/xubuntu-devel/2017/xubuntu-devel.2017-05-12-19.08.html14:43
APoliTechi will have a look. Thx for the help14:49

pencilandpaperHi, I was wondering something..and I highly doubt that there is a way..16:20
pencilandpaperbut is there a way to go to 64bit from a 32bit install without doing a fresh install?16:21
jbichaflocculant: for https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13580 you'll need to patch the code to check for a much higher vte version16:46
ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 13580 in General "Right click Open Link option missing" [Normal,Needinfo]16:46
jbichasince Ubuntu's vte2.91 has been updated but with the pcre2 conversion reverted because we aren't ready for pcre2 in main yet16:47
flocculantjbicha: mmm so it seems16:52
flocculantnot particularly good that the change has broken our terminal tbh - #xubuntu-devel is probably a better place to discuss it than here though :)16:53
jbichaflocculant: well, I'll let you pass the message on then :)16:54
jbichaflocculant: as long as xfce doesn't drop the pcre1 code, it looks like it would be a fairly simple patch to maintain for now16:55
flocculantjbicha: really - this is our support channel for suppported version of Xubuntu - hence pointing at the other one :)16:56
jbichaflocculant: yes, I understand now, do I need to repeat my conversation there now or can you take care of it?16:59
flocculantjbicha: I'll take care of it - this time :D17:03
TheWildhello17:46
TheWildplaying with Xubuntu17:46
TheWildis there an easy way to increase window border thickness?17:46
TheWilda single setting in UI or text file. I can even use a terminal.17:47
drcTheWild: I have no idea but googling "xfce window border thickness" gives all sorts of hits.  If no one here has the answer, I'd try there.17:54
knomeTheWild, https://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce/17:54
knomeand in addition to those methods, changing the window manager theme can help17:55
TheWildyeah, I think I'll try changing the theme.17:56
drcAs the knome's last statement, I changed from Greybird to Greybird-accessibility, it changed the thickness, among other things..17:57
TheWildthe computer I installed Xubuntu on is for my parents that were used to Windows, thus shortcut keys is "no way" and 1-pixel-thick borders are useless.17:58
* drc forgot about that, or I'd have said so :)17:58
TheWilddamn, I thought themes are supposed to have changeable border width, just like changeable title bar height18:28
K-ubuntuerHello there19:22
K-ubuntuerI have a question19:22

GolfgeoHi all, got a small issue today: My left control key is (all of a sudden) bonded to muting and demuting my audio. Using 16.04.2 and I would like to get back to the normal behaviour of the left control key. So, what did I do wrong and more important: How can I fix this?23:04
mrkrampsGolfgeo, check your keyboard settings if incidently bound the key23:06
Golfgeomrkramps, did try to find it out. It doesn't seem to be "bound" in the usual place (keyboard settings of setting menu)23:09
mrkrampsGolfgeo, if testing the key in terminal with xev is it still reported as Control_L?23:10
Golfgeoit is "still" known as the left control key if I check in the keyboard layout chart (onscreen thingy)23:11
SteikoHello23:13
SteikoAnyone know how reactivate wifi after installation of Xubuntu?23:13
Golfgeomekramps, Unsure how to read the output of xev. I'm getting a mappingnotify event23:13
Golfgeo*mrkramps, sorry for the typo of your name23:14
mrkrampsxev lists all input events23:14
mrkrampskeep the small window focused, do not move your mouse and press the single key you want to test23:15
Golfgeomrkramps: It's output is (multiples with serial going up by 1 every new line): MappingNotify event, serial 98, synthetic NO, window 0x0, request MappingKeyboard, first_keycode 8, count 24823:16
mrkrampsGolfgeo, actually this key should clearyl report as 'Control_L'23:21
GolfgeoOk, it doesn't. So we do have an issue! :D Thought I was going mental here haha23:22
mrkrampsbut i've no ide how to debug this in detail and it might be a hardware issue23:22
mrkramps*idea23:22
GolfgeoOne thing I can try to rule out a hardware issue is to relogin with a different account and check if that keybinding is active there as well.23:24
mrkrampsgood idea23:24
GolfgeoNo worries, thanks for your help mrkramps :)23:24
mrkrampsGolfgeo, have you already tried repluggin the keyboard?23:24
Golfgeopowercycled the entire machine (hot and cold boots)23:25
mrkrampskk23:25
GolfgeoWill try that right now23:25
Golfgeoyep, replugged the keyboard and it's still doing the weirdness23:26
Golfgeooke, will have to mouse my way to logging out :) One question that's left: where are the config files for keybindings in Xubuntu? or beter what are the config file names for keybindings23:28
mrkrampsshoud be in ~/.config/xfc4/xfconf23:30
Golfgeogreat! Looking at the settings editor atm it has the xfce4 keyboard shortcuts23:30
GolfgeoNow that file I can diff with my other user accounts versio23:33
Golfgeoversion that is23:33
Golfgeono difference between the two23:35
mrkrampsif possible testing with another keyboard might be revealing23:36
Golfgeowill try the logging into the other user account first. Although I'm still browsing the settings editor atm23:37
GolfgeoAlthough I'm wondering what the "<Super>" key is (as it's called there)23:38
knomethat's the "windows" key23:38
Golfgeoah :)23:40
Golfgeothat's weird, if I press that one I get the "logout screen"23:41
GolfgeoOn my other machine a single press on the windows screen is mapped to nothing (no reaction from the machine)23:42
knomewell it shouldn't be mapped to anything alone23:42
Golfgeoalthough that key and "r" get's the proper app finder open on that machine23:42
Golfgeoyea, I'm logging out and checking my other account. I'll be back! :)23:43
