[11:54] <jones641> Hello everyone! Anybody know pulseaudio stuff?
[11:55] <cfhowlett> vague questions >>> vague answers ...
[11:55] <cfhowlett> !details
[11:58] <jones641> oh 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.pa
[11:59] <jones641> but 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 alsamixer
[12:02] <jones641> I've also made a youtube video to show what happens when I don't disable jack sensing
[12:02] <cfhowlett> jones641, suggest you bring all of this to #ubuntu
[12:02] <cfhowlett> more eyes to see ...
[12:03] <jones641> mkay
[14:10] <jones641> omg, I'm so sorry for wasting your time, lol
[14:11] <jones641> it wasn't pulseaudio, it was the intel_hda_powersave option of PowerTOP that broke everything
[14:37] <APoliTech> Hi 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?
[14:39] <akxwi-dave> APoliTech:  take a look here..
[14:39] <akxwi-dave> https://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa
[14:41] <akxwi-dave> also if its gtk3 specific  contact flocculant  here on irc as he is working closely with upstream on testing the new GTK3 apps with Xfce
[14:43] <akxwi-dave> we 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.html
[14:49] <APoliTech> i will have a look. Thx for the help
[16:20] <pencilandpaper> Hi, I was wondering something..and I highly doubt that there is a way..
[16:21] <pencilandpaper> but is there a way to go to 64bit from a 32bit install without doing a fresh install?
[16:46] <jbicha> flocculant: for https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13580 you'll need to patch the code to check for a much higher vte version
[16:47] <jbicha> since Ubuntu's vte2.91 has been updated but with the pcre2 conversion reverted because we aren't ready for pcre2 in main yet
[16:52] <flocculant> jbicha: mmm so it seems
[16:53] <flocculant> not particularly good that the change has broken our terminal tbh - #xubuntu-devel is probably a better place to discuss it than here though :)
[16:54] <jbicha> flocculant: well, I'll let you pass the message on then :)
[16:55] <jbicha> flocculant: as long as xfce doesn't drop the pcre1 code, it looks like it would be a fairly simple patch to maintain for now
[16:56] <flocculant> jbicha: really - this is our support channel for suppported version of Xubuntu - hence pointing at the other one :)
[16:59] <jbicha> flocculant: yes, I understand now, do I need to repeat my conversation there now or can you take care of it?
[17:03] <flocculant> jbicha: I'll take care of it - this time :D
[17:46] <TheWild> hello
[17:46] <TheWild> playing with Xubuntu
[17:46] <TheWild> is there an easy way to increase window border thickness?
[17:47] <TheWild> a single setting in UI or text file. I can even use a terminal.
[17:54] <drc> TheWild: 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] <knome> TheWild, https://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce/
[17:55] <knome> and in addition to those methods, changing the window manager theme can help
[17:56] <TheWild> yeah, I think I'll try changing the theme.
[17:57] <drc> As the knome's last statement, I changed from Greybird to Greybird-accessibility, it changed the thickness, among other things..
[17:58] <TheWild> the 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 :)
[18:28] <TheWild> damn, I thought themes are supposed to have changeable border width, just like changeable title bar height
[19:22] <K-ubuntuer> Hello there
[19:22] <K-ubuntuer> I have a question
[19:22] <K-ubuntuer> I'm on a raspberry pi, and I need to disable underscan.
[23:04] <Golfgeo> Hi 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?
[23:06] <mrkramps> Golfgeo, check your keyboard settings if incidently bound the key
[23:09] <Golfgeo> mrkramps, did try to find it out. It doesn't seem to be "bound" in the usual place (keyboard settings of setting menu)
[23:10] <mrkramps> Golfgeo, if testing the key in terminal with xev is it still reported as Control_L?
[23:11] <Golfgeo> it is "still" known as the left control key if I check in the keyboard layout chart (onscreen thingy)
[23:13] <Steiko> Hello
[23:13] <Steiko> Anyone know how reactivate wifi after installation of Xubuntu?
[23:13] <Golfgeo> mekramps, Unsure how to read the output of xev. I'm getting a mappingnotify event
[23:14] <Golfgeo> *mrkramps, sorry for the typo of your name
[23:14] <mrkramps> xev lists all input events
[23:15] <mrkramps> keep the small window focused, do not move your mouse and press the single key you want to test
[23:16] <Golfgeo> mrkramps: 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 248
[23:21] <mrkramps> Golfgeo, actually this key should clearyl report as 'Control_L'
[23:22] <Golfgeo> Ok, it doesn't. So we do have an issue! :D Thought I was going mental here haha
[23:22] <mrkramps> but i've no ide how to debug this in detail and it might be a hardware issue
[23:22] <mrkramps> *idea
[23:24] <Golfgeo> One 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] <mrkramps> good idea
[23:24] <Golfgeo> No worries, thanks for your help mrkramps :)
[23:24] <mrkramps> Golfgeo, have you already tried repluggin the keyboard?
[23:25] <Golfgeo> powercycled the entire machine (hot and cold boots)
[23:25] <mrkramps> kk
[23:25] <Golfgeo> Will try that right now
[23:26] <Golfgeo> yep, replugged the keyboard and it's still doing the weirdness
[23:28] <Golfgeo> oke, 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 keybindings
[23:30] <mrkramps> shoud be in ~/.config/xfc4/xfconf
[23:30] <Golfgeo> great! Looking at the settings editor atm it has the xfce4 keyboard shortcuts
[23:33] <Golfgeo> Now that file I can diff with my other user accounts versio
[23:33] <Golfgeo> version that is
[23:35] <Golfgeo> no difference between the two
[23:36] <mrkramps> if possible testing with another keyboard might be revealing
[23:37] <Golfgeo> will try the logging into the other user account first. Although I'm still browsing the settings editor atm
[23:38] <Golfgeo> Although I'm wondering what the "<Super>" key is (as it's called there)
[23:38] <knome> that's the "windows" key
[23:40] <Golfgeo> ah :)
[23:41] <Golfgeo> that's weird, if I press that one I get the "logout screen"
[23:42] <Golfgeo> On my other machine a single press on the windows screen is mapped to nothing (no reaction from the machine)
[23:42] <knome> well it shouldn't be mapped to anything alone
[23:42] <Golfgeo> although that key and "r" get's the proper app finder open on that machine
[23:43] <Golfgeo> yea, I'm logging out and checking my other account. I'll be back! :)
