| xubuntu17d | looking for touchpad help | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu17d | I'm not really sure how this works, so I'll just throw my question out and see what happens. Apologies if that seems rude. | 01:42 |
| xubuntu17d | I'm running Xubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Inspiron 15. When I change the touchpad to left-handed in Settings, pointer movement becomes erratic and the left button still acts as a left-click. All I want is to configure the touchpad - or clickpad, to be precise - to accept the right button area as the primary button and the left one as the secondary button, with no loss of functionality in pointer movement or dragging or highlighting. I | 01:43 |
| xubuntu17d | ing "xinput set-button-map 14 3 2 1", but the result is that there is only one point on each button that works, Firefox doesn't recognize the change at all, and the pointer starts to lag. Any advice? | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse#buttons_and_feedback in theory that should be it. | 01:46 |
| xubuntu17d | Thank you | 01:50 |
| Unit193 | Doesn't really help you much if you've already been in the mouse settings and synaptics. | 01:51 |
| Unit193 | Also no, just asking is perfectly fine, desired even. | 01:51 |
| xubuntu17d | Unfortunately, the link was not as helpful as I had hoped. Perhaps I will have to learn to use the touchpad right-handed after all... Must leave for appointment, but many thanks for your kindness. | 02:00 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu17d: Take a look through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics too. | 02:04 |
| Unit193 | Most of that should for the most part apply as well. | 02:04 |
| xubuntu17d | Thank you. I will look into it when I get back. | 02:06 |
| RoadRunner | What are Xubuntu command equivalents to Windows: ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew (to release and renew DHCP lease when on a dynamic DHCP)? | 02:56 |
| bazhang | ifconfig was there, it's simply ip now | 02:57 |
| flocculant | RoadRunner: for something as basic - don't look for Xubuntu, we'll share that deep level with Ubuntu | 02:58 |
| RoadRunner | flocculant: sorry for a newbie question but if you could share the answer with me, you'd save me the time of asking the same question on Ubuntu's channel | 03:04 |
| flocculant | RoadRunner: sorry - bazhang did that :) I was putting out in channel that at that level xubuntu/k/l/buntu generally | 03:06 |
| RoadRunner | flocculant: I mean what is the correct syntax for these commands in terminal...? | 03:07 |
| flocculant | oic | 03:08 |
| flocculant | I dno't know tbh - ask bazhang, netwrok just works for me | 03:08 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: :) what is the correct syntax for these commands in terminal? | 03:10 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, you want to renew a lease or what, bring the nic up/down | 03:12 |
| flocculant | bazhang: thanks :) | 03:12 |
| bazhang | :) | 03:12 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: when having problems with a gateway or switching btw static and dynamic DHCP want to be able to release and renew a DHCP lease without rebooting the machine | 03:15 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, I mostly did sudo dhclient eth0/wlan0 or whatever the name | 03:16 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, since systemd, those are like enps0 and so on | 03:17 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, what does ifconfig -a in the terminal say, what version of buntu is this | 03:17 |
| RoadRunner | I am running 16.04 | 03:18 |
| lamduh | When I click "install xubuntu" when booting from my usb It goes to a black screen and I cant see anything. Any ideas? | 03:18 |
| bazhang | so what's it show | 03:18 |
| bazhang | !nomodeset | lamduh | 03:19 |
| ubottu | lamduh: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 03:19 |
| flocculant | bazhang: thanks - was typing that out ;) | 03:19 |
| bazhang | np! | 03:19 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, you doin this or not | 03:20 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: said no such command | 03:21 |
| Unit193 | `ip addr` | 03:21 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, what was the exact command you used | 03:21 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: 'ifconfig' isn't seeded anymore, iirc. so `ip addr` is the "new" `ifconfig` | 03:22 |
| bazhang | yep | 03:22 |
| bazhang | I tried it though not too long ago | 03:22 |
| bazhang | there is/was a crossover period of time when both worked | 03:23 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, so try what Unit193 just said | 03:23 |
| bazhang | RoadRunner, if I'm not around , others may be, and I will be back later if need be | 03:24 |
| lamduh | does the "nomodeset" go after the 3 dashes in the emacs editor | 03:24 |
| lamduh | ? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | lamduh, on grub? | 03:24 |
| flocculant | lamduh: emacs? | 03:24 |
| lamduh | yeah | 03:25 |
| lamduh | grub | 03:25 |
| bazhang | lamduh, did you fully read the actual link? | 03:25 |
| lamduh | "and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually ending with “quiet splash”. | 03:25 |
| lamduh | Now you can type in additional kernel options like nomodeset (please dont make the same typing error I made for this screenshot ): | 03:25 |
| lamduh | " | 03:25 |
| lamduh | the screenshot is broken | 03:25 |
| flocculant | just boot the image then hit any key and have nomodeset as paramter - F4 I think | 03:25 |
| flocculant | unless uefi then not sure - never done that myself | 03:26 |
| bazhang | no idea how emacs got into all this | 03:26 |
| RoadRunner | bazhang: just tried 'ip addr' it is in the ball park, but I still don't see how to release or renew a lease with it | 03:26 |
| lamduh | the grub menu says "minimal emacs editor with auto completion" | 03:27 |
| lamduh | the nomodeset parameter comes before the three dashes | 03:27 |
| lamduh | i got it thanks | 03:27 |
| RoadRunner | Unit193: do you know the exact syntax to release and renew a dhcp lease? | 03:28 |
| Unit193 | I just do the ol' fidown eth0;ifup eth0 on Debian, Ubuntu...Well restarting nm is easy. | 03:29 |
| Unit193 | ifdown* | 03:29 |
| RoadRunner | Unit193: sorry, you are talking to a newbie :) could explain that a bit more? | 03:30 |
| Unit193 | Well...GUI, so easy enough to just reconnect, click the little network icon and then on the connection. | 03:32 |
| RoadRunner | Unit193: through gui, resetting dhcp to automatic doesn't take effect right away, for some reason. If check connection properties it still shows static data even after the change | 03:34 |
| Unit193 | So resetting and then reconnecting to the network that you just changed doesn't work, RoadRunner? | 03:39 |
| RoadRunner | Unit193: correct | 03:40 |
| RoadRunner | I am now talking to you from a Win machine, Xubuntu can't connect now | 03:41 |
| RoadRunner | Unit193: could you please explain the details of the syntax of commands you mentioned earlier? | 03:49 |
| RoadRunner | as I am experimenting with my gateways, I'll lose connection, I'll come back later and hopefully get an answer to my command syntax question | 04:06 |
| lamduh | nomodeset works for when I install xubuntu but not when I try to launch after installation :( | 04:28 |
| Truth | hey all | 08:44 |
| Truth | so i need some help | 08:44 |
| Truth | which server would be better for running xubutnu on top of ubuntu server? | 08:45 |
| Truth | hp ML370 G4 | 08:45 |
| Truth | or | 08:45 |
| Truth | hp proliant DL380 G5 | 08:45 |
| moetunes | Truth: you'd install xubuntu-desktop on the server install and the hardware doesn't really matter for that | 11:25 |
| bekks | Truth: besides the fact that those servers are most likely EOSL already, it doesnt really matter for xubuntu. | 11:46 |

| Arszilla | sorry knome | 12:36 |
| Arszilla | i.imgur.com/0Iyu5Iu.png | 12:37 |
| Arszilla | https://i.imgur.com/0Iyu5Iu.png | 12:37 |
| Arszilla | why is my installed messages like thsi? | 12:37 |
| knome | which xubuntu version are you using | 12:38 |
| Arszilla | 16.04.2 | 12:38 |
| knome | have you installed a lot of custom software or is this a clean install? | 12:40 |
| Arszilla | i installed numix | 12:41 |
| Arszilla | thats it | 12:42 |
| Arszilla | now I installed chromium, atom editor, discord, steam, gimp | 12:42 |
| knome | do the notifications look the same if you chang the theme to greybird? | 12:42 |
| Arszilla | uhm I can try | 12:42 |
| Arszilla | let me install vlc | 12:42 |
| Arszilla | knome is it possible to install gnome tweaks to xubuntu | 12:44 |
| Arszilla | from Gnome Extensions | 12:44 |
| knome | i don't know what it does, but i'm not completely sure if changing settings in it would make a difference in xfce - maybe, maybe not | 12:45 |
| knome | maybe tell us what kind of modifications you'd like to do and we can see if you can do them with the native xfce tools | 12:45 |
| Arszilla | again for the millionth time | 12:45 |
| Arszilla | https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/ | 12:45 |
| Arszilla | trying to get this replicated or installed in xubuntu 16.04.2 | 12:45 |
| knome | that has nothing to do with gnome tweaks | 12:45 |
| Arszilla | its in extensions.gnome... | 12:46 |
| knome | so it's a gnome shell extension... no, you can't have it in xfce unless you install gnome shell, which is almost the same as installing gnome | 12:47 |
| knome | i'm pretty sure there are similar docks that work with xfce - i don't use any so i have no idea what they would be | 12:47 |
| Arszilla | any way to order my tabs in the topbar? | 12:47 |
| Arszilla | I dont want chromium away in the right side, I want to move i to the eflt | 12:48 |
| Arszilla | left* | 12:48 |
| knome | you can change the window buttons panel applet options - change the sorting to "none, allow drag-and-drop" | 12:48 |
| Arszilla | and jesus, the text in chromium is big as hell | 12:48 |
| knome | Arszilla, please, this is a family-friendly channel | 12:49 |
| knome | this is the last time i'm reminding you friendly about it | 12:49 |
| Arszilla | where is that in settings? | 12:50 |
| knome | under panel, tab items, then find "window buttons" (or right-click the window button applet in the panel) | 12:50 |
| Arszilla | thanks | 12:52 |
| Arszilla | waiting for vlc to finish | 12:52 |
| Arszilla | so I can see the notification | 12:52 |
| Arszilla | knome you could say I am trying to replicate this | 12:53 |
| Arszilla | https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/5q0lei/xfce4_macos_esque/ | 12:53 |
| knome | ok, then you'll want to install the "plank" dock | 12:54 |
| Arszilla | is that the best one? | 12:54 |
| knome | i don't know - as i said i don't use one | 12:54 |
| Arszilla | also | 12:54 |
| knome | but the tutorial you are following uses that | 12:55 |
| knome | so maybe you'll want that | 12:55 |
| Arszilla | is there a dark mode in xubuntu | 12:55 |
| knome | what do you mean by "dark mode"? a dark theme? | 12:55 |
| Arszilla | sorta | 12:55 |
| Arszilla | like file manager etc windows are dark | 12:55 |
| knome | there are dark themes for xubuntu | 12:55 |
| Arszilla | one bug I also found | 12:56 |
| Arszilla | http://imgur.com/a/TbhdS | 12:56 |
| Arszilla | why is my mouse icon like this | 12:57 |
| Arszilla | from time to time | 12:57 |
| knome | i don't see a mouse icon | 12:57 |
| Arszilla | the black box is | 12:57 |
| Arszilla | also | 12:57 |
| Arszilla | https://http://i.imgur.com/rGjDCMz.png | 12:58 |
| Arszilla | http://i.imgur.com/rGjDCMz.png | 12:58 |
| Arszilla | still didnt fix | 12:58 |
| knome | which package manager software are you using to install packages? | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | none | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | used terminal to install numix | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | thats all | 12:59 |
| knome | what did you use to install vlc then? | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | then I had downloaded steam.deb etc; installed em normally | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | software thingy | 12:59 |
| Arszilla | it was pinned in my favourites so... | 13:00 |
| knome | ok, maybe it's a bug in (gnome) software | 13:00 |
| Arszilla | like Ubuntu Software Center | 13:00 |
| Arszilla | how can I fix it? | 13:00 |
| knome | well, look in the source code etc... | 13:00 |
| knome | i don't use gnome software either and i haven't heard from this bug or a workaround for it | 13:01 |
| Arszilla | let me see if I can get this workin | 13:01 |
| TheWild | hello | 20:48 |
| TheWild | why is Blender's interface glitching so badly on Xubuntu? | 20:49 |
| a27_ | hi i cant see panel in live usb | 22:19 |
