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? [06:14] that1guy, can you press alt f2 and run lxrandr when you have the cursor on the working screen? [06:29] nothing seemed to have happened besides the run command went away [06:30] got it [06:30] thank you! [06:36] when I change it to not run the laptop lcd, the external monitor goes way off center. Would a restart fix that? [14:26] 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 [17:08] hello all, I'm having a little network trouble [17:09] I don't have a dns server enabled, and I'm not sure how to configure it [17:10] for example, `ping 8.8.8.8` works great, but `ping dns.google.com` gives "ping: dns.google.com: name or service not known" [17:20] guy_fawkes: Yeah, that's a problem I've been having that's one of those bugs that's terribly hard to consistently reproduce... [17:21] 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] guy_fawkes: But I agree, it's a bit weird :/ [17:28] thanks for the help, i'll try that :) === wxl_ is now known as wxl [20:53] Hi [20:53] How does one disable blinking cursor in Lubuntu? [20:53] Please help [20:55] Fallen[m]: in the terminal? [20:57] Yeah [20:57] Thanks for replying man I thought the room is dead or something [20:57] Infact everywhere. [20:57] edit > preferences > style > cursor blink [20:57] IRC is a thing that generally requires patience. people idle away and look at it here and there. [20:57] True - thanks man. [20:58] np [20:58] I figured the terminal. Its easier in Terminals which give that as an option how about other text editors etc. [20:58] well there are no generalities [20:58] which specific application are you referring to? [20:59] Ha! TBH if it can work in editors for example any text editor - or even QT Creator. [20:59] Inside the browser [21:00] as i said, there's no generalities [21:00] hmm ok. Thank you. How about the title bar? Can I get rid of that? :-) Any theme you maybe aware of? [21:00] leafpad, for example, does offer anything [21:00] you could always download the source, edit the code, and recompile it [21:00] does not offer antyhing [21:01] wxl: thanks pal. [21:02] you can either make a theme or look for one on box looks [21:02] or whatever it's called [21:03] yeah those are pretty archaic I would say some are as old as 5 years old. [21:03] I will stick to vanilla [21:04] you can always edit the theme yourself [21:06] http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Themes [21:06] Thank you. Wxl more than helpful. [21:08] Fallen[m]: also in the two config options there's a section for title layout. you might try to remove them all. [21:09] i'm gonna try this in a sec once this vm pops up [21:13] yep that works :) [21:13] Fallen[m]: ^^
