[00:48] looking for touchpad help [01:42] 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. [01:43] 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 [01:44] 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? [01:46] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse#buttons_and_feedback in theory that should be it. [01:50] Thank you [01:51] Doesn't really help you much if you've already been in the mouse settings and synaptics. [01:51] Also no, just asking is perfectly fine, desired even. [02:00] 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. [02:04] xubuntu17d: Take a look through https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics too. [02:04] Most of that should for the most part apply as well. [02:06] Thank you. I will look into it when I get back. [02:56] What are Xubuntu command equivalents to Windows: ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew (to release and renew DHCP lease when on a dynamic DHCP)? [02:57] ifconfig was there, it's simply ip now [02:58] RoadRunner: for something as basic - don't look for Xubuntu, we'll share that deep level with Ubuntu [03:04] 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 [03:06] RoadRunner: sorry - bazhang did that :) I was putting out in channel that at that level xubuntu/k/l/buntu generally [03:07] flocculant: I mean what is the correct syntax for these commands in terminal...? [03:08] oic [03:08] I dno't know tbh - ask bazhang, netwrok just works for me [03:10] bazhang: :) what is the correct syntax for these commands in terminal? [03:12] RoadRunner, you want to renew a lease or what, bring the nic up/down [03:12] bazhang: thanks :) [03:12] :) [03:15] 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 [03:16] RoadRunner, I mostly did sudo dhclient eth0/wlan0 or whatever the name [03:17] RoadRunner, since systemd, those are like enps0 and so on [03:17] RoadRunner, what does ifconfig -a in the terminal say, what version of buntu is this [03:18] I am running 16.04 [03:18] 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] so what's it show [03:19] !nomodeset | lamduh [03:19] 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] bazhang: thanks - was typing that out ;) [03:19] np! [03:20] RoadRunner, you doin this or not [03:21] bazhang: said no such command [03:21] `ip addr` [03:21] RoadRunner, what was the exact command you used [03:22] bazhang: 'ifconfig' isn't seeded anymore, iirc. so `ip addr` is the "new" `ifconfig` [03:22] yep [03:22] I tried it though not too long ago [03:23] there is/was a crossover period of time when both worked [03:23] RoadRunner, so try what Unit193 just said [03:24] RoadRunner, if I'm not around , others may be, and I will be back later if need be [03:24] does the "nomodeset" go after the 3 dashes in the emacs editor [03:24] ? [03:24] lamduh, on grub? [03:24] lamduh: emacs? [03:25] yeah [03:25] grub [03:25] lamduh, did you fully read the actual link? [03:25] "and press END keys to position your cursor at the end of the that line usually ending with “quiet splash”. [03:25] Now you can type in additional kernel options like nomodeset (please dont make the same typing error I made for this screenshot ): [03:25] " [03:25] the screenshot is broken [03:25] just boot the image then hit any key and have nomodeset as paramter - F4 I think [03:26] unless uefi then not sure - never done that myself [03:26] no idea how emacs got into all this [03:26] 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 [03:27] the grub menu says "minimal emacs editor with auto completion" [03:27] the nomodeset parameter comes before the three dashes [03:27] i got it thanks [03:28] Unit193: do you know the exact syntax to release and renew a dhcp lease? [03:29] I just do the ol' fidown eth0;ifup eth0 on Debian, Ubuntu...Well restarting nm is easy. [03:29] ifdown* [03:30] Unit193: sorry, you are talking to a newbie :) could explain that a bit more? [03:32] Well...GUI, so easy enough to just reconnect, click the little network icon and then on the connection. [03:34] 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 [03:39] So resetting and then reconnecting to the network that you just changed doesn't work, RoadRunner? [03:40] Unit193: correct [03:41] I am now talking to you from a Win machine, Xubuntu can't connect now [03:49] Unit193: could you please explain the details of the syntax of commands you mentioned earlier? [04:06] 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 [04:28] nomodeset works for when I install xubuntu but not when I try to launch after installation :( [08:44] hey all [08:44] so i need some help [08:45] which server would be better for running xubutnu on top of ubuntu server? [08:45] hp ML370 G4 [08:45] or [08:45] hp proliant DL380 G5 [11:25] Truth: you'd install xubuntu-desktop on the server install and the hardware doesn't really matter for that [11:46] Truth: besides the fact that those servers are most likely EOSL already, it doesnt really matter for xubuntu. [12:11] Can someone help me? [12:11] Is it possible to install gnome tweaks to xubuntu? [12:12] And how can I set my xubuntu to dark theme [12:12] like in GNOME [12:13] Arszilla, there's dark theme available [12:13] Where [12:14] I need it [12:14] this shit is too bright for me yo [12:14] also is there something like Ubuntu Software Store?

I try to figure out the goal in order to offer alternatives [12:29] and old habits die hard... [12:29] a sec then diogenes_ [12:30] I need it to access my favourites etc fast, like in GNOME. Dont like to enter the top right menu [12:31] also why cant I order the windows that I have, like Firefox, Software etc. I want to move software in fromt of firefox for example [12:31] brb [12:31] test [12:31] if you can read me say heyo [12:32] Arszilla, we can't have all we want [12:32] we have to do compromises [12:32] ...

[12:38] which xubuntu version are you using [12:38] 16.04.2 [12:40] have you installed a lot of custom software or is this a clean install? [12:41] i installed numix [12:42] thats it [12:42] now I installed chromium, atom editor, discord, steam, gimp [12:42] do the notifications look the same if you chang the theme to greybird? [12:42] uhm I can try [12:42] let me install vlc [12:44] knome is it possible to install gnome tweaks to xubuntu [12:44] from Gnome Extensions [12:45] 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] 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] again for the millionth time [12:45] https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/ [12:45] trying to get this replicated or installed in xubuntu 16.04.2 [12:45] that has nothing to do with gnome tweaks [12:46] its in extensions.gnome... [12:47] 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] 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] any way to order my tabs in the topbar? [12:48] I dont want chromium away in the right side, I want to move i to the eflt [12:48] left* [12:48] you can change the window buttons panel applet options - change the sorting to "none, allow drag-and-drop" [12:48] and jesus, the text in chromium is big as hell [12:49] Arszilla, please, this is a family-friendly channel [12:49] this is the last time i'm reminding you friendly about it [12:50] where is that in settings? [12:50] under panel, tab items, then find "window buttons" (or right-click the window button applet in the panel) [12:52] thanks [12:52] waiting for vlc to finish [12:52] so I can see the notification [12:53] knome you could say I am trying to replicate this [12:53] https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/5q0lei/xfce4_macos_esque/ [12:54] ok, then you'll want to install the "plank" dock [12:54] is that the best one? [12:54] i don't know - as i said i don't use one [12:54] also [12:55] but the tutorial you are following uses that [12:55] so maybe you'll want that [12:55] is there a dark mode in xubuntu [12:55] what do you mean by "dark mode"? a dark theme? [12:55] sorta [12:55] like file manager etc windows are dark [12:55] there are dark themes for xubuntu [12:56] one bug I also found [12:56] http://imgur.com/a/TbhdS [12:57] why is my mouse icon like this [12:57] from time to time [12:57] i don't see a mouse icon [12:57] the black box is [12:57] also [12:58] https://http://i.imgur.com/rGjDCMz.png [12:58] http://i.imgur.com/rGjDCMz.png [12:58] still didnt fix [12:59] which package manager software are you using to install packages? [12:59] none [12:59] used terminal to install numix [12:59] thats all [12:59] what did you use to install vlc then? [12:59] then I had downloaded steam.deb etc; installed em normally [12:59] software thingy [13:00] it was pinned in my favourites so... [13:00] ok, maybe it's a bug in (gnome) software [13:00] like Ubuntu Software Center [13:00] how can I fix it? [13:00] well, look in the source code etc... [13:01] i don't use gnome software either and i haven't heard from this bug or a workaround for it [13:01] let me see if I can get this workin [20:48] hello [20:49] why is Blender's interface glitching so badly on Xubuntu?
