| kgbme | managed it all with apt | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| xfirst24hourubun | My trackpad has stopped working on my ideapad 110 running 16.04 | 01:04 |
| kgbme | hehe what was the last thing you had done, when it stopped :) | 01:07 |
| xfirst24hourubun | using it as a router basicly | 01:09 |
| xfirst24hourubun | tried to connect to a few devices with bluetooth as well | 01:09 |
| xfirst24hourubun | i should also clarify that i've got no idea about using this os yet haha | 01:10 |
| kgbme | ok but it's not going to 'stop working' on its own, right? | 01:10 |
| xfirst24hourubun | i agree | 01:10 |
| kgbme | you had to have sudo apt-get installed something maybe, or like way prior and then an auto-update carried on | 01:10 |
| xfirst24hourubun | do you have any tips on how i can figure out what it is that is breaking on me? | 01:10 |
| xfirst24hourubun | yes, samba | 01:11 |
| xfirst24hourubun | i tried to install that, but also removed it again | 01:11 |
| xfirst24hourubun | it gave me an error on initial install | 01:11 |
| xfirst24hourubun | ive also tried setting updating settings so that it doesn't install but the official said allright to things | 01:12 |
| kgbme | ok i can see that mine is: "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-hwe-16.04" so it *looks* like it's part of the hwe kernel-thingy that ubuntu is doing (on lts) | 01:14 |
| kgbme | not sure | 01:14 |
| kgbme | sec. | 01:15 |
| kgbme | check it out, bt please don't run the CMD prior to reading the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 01:16 |
| kgbme | link is in the text, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack | 01:16 |
| xfirst24hourubun | Thanks dude! :) - Ive learned my lesson about doing anything before being absolutely certain of what i am doing | 01:17 |
| xfirst24hourubun | now ive got something to go on :) | 01:17 |
| kgbme | there's like 50% chance that might be it, not sure | 01:17 |
| kgbme | that whole hardware-kernel-input thing going on | 01:18 |
| kgbme | ^^ probably nothing to do with samba | 01:19 |
| kgbme | (i mean quite possibly nothing to do with what you were doing. :)) | 01:19 |

| kgbme | xfirst24hourubun: and after, if u chose to run it, log out and make sure it's not saving your session - then reboot | 01:20 |
| kgbme | should be just a checkbox on the logout dialog | 01:21 |
| xfirst24hourubun | I was sure that i had done something stupid haha. - now ive read up on this whole thing, as ive got no idea about how this whole thing works | 01:21 |
| xfirst24hourubun | but even these small problems are actually exciting to figure out :D | 01:22 |
| kgbme | it's probably already auto-updated on your system, the documentation says 16.02 | 01:22 |
| kgbme | what version you got lsb_release -a | 01:22 |
| kgbme | we should check for the kernel version actually, bt i mean - you'll need it eventually, so you might as well do it | 01:22 |
| kgbme | what does uname -a say? | 01:22 |
| xfirst24hourubun | Distributor ID:Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release:16.04 Codename:xenial | 01:23 |
| kgbme | uname -a | 01:24 |
| kgbme | just to see the kernel | 01:24 |
| kgbme | i mean, if u can post it.. or i can give you mine, sec | 01:24 |
| xfirst24hourubun | 4.10.0-40-generic #44~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 9 15:37:44 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 01:24 |
| xfirst24hourubun | was that it? | 01:25 |
| kgbme | hmm | 01:25 |
| kgbme | yes and that's the hwe :( | 01:25 |
| kgbme | *rolling | 01:25 |
| kgbme | looks like u already got it on the system | 01:26 |
| xfirst24hourubun | excuse my stupidity haha | 01:26 |
| kgbme | nah, all good :) | 01:26 |
| xfirst24hourubun | so i allowed a stupid update basicly? | 01:26 |
| kgbme | just - i don't know what to tell you now how to handle this | 01:26 |
| kgbme | no, no, it's fine - it will be 'forced' on the next LTS version anyway | 01:27 |
| kgbme | might as well deal with it now, idk. | 01:27 |
| kgbme | IF that's the issue | 01:27 |
| xfirst24hourubun | well ive gotta learn something, but i dont mind | 01:27 |
| kgbme | trackpads are a pain - it's a really specific driver | 01:27 |
| xfirst24hourubun | its not a huge problem for me personally, i was mostly wondering what caused it | 01:28 |
| kgbme | ofc. it should work =) | 01:28 |
| xfirst24hourubun | now that you mention it, that makes sense | 01:28 |
| xfirst24hourubun | thanks for the tips broheim | 01:28 |
| kgbme | i don't know if re-running the kernel upgrade can do something with xinput | 01:29 |
| kgbme | maybe worth a try :-s | 01:29 |
| kgbme | if it all goes auto, you don't even have to worry about it, idk. | 01:29 |
| kgbme | :) | 01:29 |
| kgbme | from that URL, you can try the kernel command for your 16.04 version if you like, that's what i'm saying | 01:30 |
| kgbme | (certainly nothing unwanted will happen) | 01:30 |
| kgbme | there's: "DESKTOP" and "SERVER" there | 01:31 |
| xfirst24hourubun | yeah thats what im sitting here pondering | 01:31 |
| xfirst24hourubun | doing it two sec | 01:31 |
| kgbme | just give it a whirl :)) | 01:31 |
| kgbme | xfirst24hourubun: | 01:32 |
| xfirst24hourubun | its installed | 01:32 |
| kgbme | hang on forgot | 01:32 |
| kgbme | something important, lol | 01:32 |
| xfirst24hourubun | can u tell me the comment to remove it first hehe | 01:32 |
| kgbme | sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade BEFORE you log out... just in case :) | 01:32 |
| kgbme | it won't be removed - as it's already installed on your system. just the re-run may trigger the trackpad driver (on log out and reboot, kernel reload) | 01:33 |
| xfirst24hourubun | nice bro, im just slow tonight ;) | 01:34 |
| kgbme | non-technically speaking :) | 01:34 |
| xfirst24hourubun | relogging to see what happens haha | 01:34 |
| kgbme | reboot 2 | 01:34 |
| xfirst24hourubun | cool | 01:34 |
| xfirst24hourubun | imma report back two sec | 01:34 |
| kgbme | good luck! ;p | 01:34 |
| kgbme | maybe that was a bad idea | 01:51 |

| kgbme | can't find how to get rid of the extra space at the bottom of xfce4-terminal that shows when removing the menu bar (--hide-menubar) https://s33.postimg.org/8atn8jzwv/Screenshot_2017-11-26_20-43-16.png | 20:01 |
| kgbme | some1 pls help out :) | 20:02 |
| knome | i don't think you can, lines are certain height and that's it | 20:02 |
| knome | where would that space go? | 20:02 |
| kgbme | oh o.0 bt, it's not there when the menubar is showing | 20:02 |
| knome | yeah, because the menubar height doesn't equal a line height? | 20:03 |
| kgbme | think i get that, but what do ppl with irssi and weechat and other do.. with .screenrc there was a command | 20:04 |
| kgbme | use a diff terminal? :( | 20:04 |
| knome | the screenshot suggests it's a fullscreen window - is it? | 20:04 |
| kgbme | no it's 60% dropdown | 20:04 |
| kgbme | no difference in --maximize | 20:04 |
| knome | change the dropdown height? | 20:05 |
| kgbme | i'll try, just a couple of hours ago everything was fine on 16.04.3 and now on 17.10 this non-issue is back.. i don't remember customizing anything there | 20:05 |
| kgbme | so i'm stumped wth is going on here :-s | 20:06 |
| kgbme | i pin the dropdown, open a tab and close it and there's no space - i use the shortcut to hide it and unhide it and the space is back | 20:07 |
| kgbme | ehh | 20:07 |
| kgbme | fresh install, haven't touched anything | 20:07 |
| kgbme | just apt update | 20:08 |
| kgbme | actually just new tab and then closing it and this window loses its space | 20:08 |
| kgbme | --fullscreen same thing and on 16.04.3 it was drawing it differently or something; had no issue | 20:10 |
| kgbme | yeah the new tab doesn't take up the space, only on closing it is the window redrawn without the bottom blank | 20:11 |
| kgbme | geez | 20:12 |
| kgbme | and when it's --fullscreen opening and closing a tab doesn't take out the space. ah, fun times | 20:15 |
| kgbme | if i figure it out, i'll search if the issue had been reported and see if it's a bug report - i guess, although it's not i know | 20:17 |
| kgbme | on 62% height it does the opposite of the behavior above. wow xD | 20:40 |
| kgbme | knome: yea there's no different way that it *could* draw it, tnx | 21:39 |
