| that1guy | I have installeed lubuntu on a laptop that has a broken screen. I have it hooked up to an external monitor but half of the window is still on the broken screen so I cannot access anything on it. Is there any work around? | 05:43 |
| lynorian | that1guy, can you press alt f2 and run lxrandr when you have the cursor on the working screen? | 06:14 |
| that1guy | nothing seemed to have happened besides the run command went away | 06:29 |
| that1guy | got it | 06:30 |
| that1guy | thank you! | 06:30 |
| that1guy | when I change it to not run the laptop lcd, the external monitor goes way off center. Would a restart fix that? | 06:36 |
| justin_ | hi.. on a healthy up-to-date lubuntu 17, i just updated packages, it grub/bootloader was one of the updates, and now my system no longer boots. Boot-Repair doesn't seem to fix it, I'm assuming because it's only trying to reinstall the broken install from the update | 14:26 |
| guy_fawkes | hello all, I'm having a little network trouble | 17:08 |
| guy_fawkes | I don't have a dns server enabled, and I'm not sure how to configure it | 17:09 |
| guy_fawkes | for example, `ping 8.8.8.8` works great, but `ping dns.google.com` gives "ping: dns.google.com: name or service not known" | 17:10 |
| tsimonq2 | guy_fawkes: Yeah, that's a problem I've been having that's one of those bugs that's terribly hard to consistently reproduce... | 17:20 |
| tsimonq2 | guy_fawkes: What I've found helps is if you edit /etc/resolv.conf, remove *everything* in there, and add the line `nameserver 8.8.8.8` | 17:21 |
| tsimonq2 | guy_fawkes: But I agree, it's a bit weird :/ | 17:21 |
| guy_fawkes | thanks for the help, i'll try that :) | 17:28 |

| Fallen[m] | Hi | 20:53 |
| Fallen[m] | How does one disable blinking cursor in Lubuntu? | 20:53 |
| Fallen[m] | Please help | 20:53 |
| wxl | Fallen[m]: in the terminal? | 20:55 |
| Fallen[m] | Yeah | 20:57 |
| Fallen[m] | Thanks for replying man I thought the room is dead or something | 20:57 |
| Fallen[m] | Infact everywhere. | 20:57 |
| wxl | edit > preferences > style > cursor blink | 20:57 |
| wxl | IRC is a thing that generally requires patience. people idle away and look at it here and there. | 20:57 |
| Fallen[m] | True - thanks man. | 20:57 |
| wxl | np | 20:58 |
| Fallen[m] | I figured the terminal. Its easier in Terminals which give that as an option how about other text editors etc. | 20:58 |
| wxl | well there are no generalities | 20:58 |
| wxl | which specific application are you referring to? | 20:58 |
| Fallen[m] | Ha! TBH if it can work in editors for example any text editor - or even QT Creator. | 20:59 |
| Fallen[m] | Inside the browser | 20:59 |
| wxl | as i said, there's no generalities | 21:00 |
| Fallen[m] | hmm ok. Thank you. How about the title bar? Can I get rid of that? :-) Any theme you maybe aware of? | 21:00 |
| wxl | leafpad, for example, does offer anything | 21:00 |
| wxl | you could always download the source, edit the code, and recompile it | 21:00 |
| wxl | does not offer antyhing | 21:00 |
| Fallen[m] | wxl: thanks pal. | 21:01 |
| wxl | you can either make a theme or look for one on box looks | 21:02 |
| wxl | or whatever it's called | 21:02 |
| Fallen[m] | yeah those are pretty archaic I would say some are as old as 5 years old. | 21:03 |
| Fallen[m] | I will stick to vanilla | 21:03 |
| wxl | you can always edit the theme yourself | 21:04 |
| wxl | http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes | 21:06 |
| Fallen[m] | Thank you. Wxl more than helpful. | 21:06 |
| wxl | Fallen[m]: also in the two config options there's a section for title layout. you might try to remove them all. | 21:08 |
| wxl | i'm gonna try this in a sec once this vm pops up | 21:09 |
| wxl | yep that works :) | 21:13 |
| wxl | Fallen[m]: ^^ | 21:13 |
