| hal90001 | first time using weechat yeah ;o) | 12:00 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | congrats. | 12:02 |
| hal90001 | knome: thx | 12:07 |
| hal90001 | i like it. used pidgin before. its nice. but i dont like the fact that it stays active in background when i close it. | 12:08 |
| crond | Ok that confused me SO much | 12:10 |
| crond | Cause WeChat, the chinese android app | 12:10 |
| crond | so you made me doubletake. | 12:10 |
| hal90001 | crond: ;o) no no its weechat client for terminal | 12:12 |
| crond | lol yeah that makes SO much more sense. | 12:13 |
| crond | can't say I've ever used it, in ssh I just use irssi | 12:13 |
| Unit193 | Good plan. | 12:13 |
| crond | I use hexchat in X, though. | 12:14 |
| hal90001 | crond: yeah i thought about using irssi but weechat i tried first | 12:15 |
| crond | hey if it works, it works | 12:15 |
| crond | no point in getting religious about program choice in Linux | 12:15 |
| crond | unless you use emacs. cause emacs is terrible. | 12:15 |
| hal90001 | i'll try irssi next - not that i care about features - i'll choose what suits me better | 12:18 |
| Unit193 | You'll have to configure it a bit, I'd recommend a newer version that supports SASL. | 12:19 |
| hal90001 | Unit193: like themes or colors? xubuntu gives me 0.8.19 from official repos | 12:21 |
| Unit193 | That should do. | 12:22 |
| crond | looks like my debian box has 0.8.17 and it has SASL I do believe | 12:23 |
| crond | so you'll be fine | 12:23 |
| hal90002 | here i am | 12:25 |
| hal90002 | irssi | 12:25 |
| Unit193 | crond: https://irssi.org/2016/02/29/irssi-0.8.18-released/ | 12:25 |
| hal90002 | looks and feels a little bit untidy - nicknames are not in a list on the right side - but i know it can be configured | 12:26 |
| crond | Unit193, hmm, guess it doesn't. interesting | 12:26 |
| Unit193 | crond: cap_sasl.pl only. | 12:27 |
| crond | I just connected to my znc so it hadn't come up | 12:27 |
| Unit193 | hal90001: Yeah irssi isn't the best out of the box, but I'm quite fond of it myself. | 12:28 |
| hal90002 | i think i'll get along with weechat (i'm lazy) but ill keep irssi installed for checking it out a bit more later | 12:29 |
| Unit193 | Sure, use what works (in your case, weechat.) | 12:29 |
| hal90001 | :o) | 12:29 |
| crond | Just don't use emacs. it probably can be an irc client, but it's a terrible idea. | 12:30 |
| knome | crond, didn't you just say there was no reason for getting religious... | 12:30 |
| crond | knome, except about emacs. | 12:30 |
| knome | nope, including emacs, if you will | 12:30 |
| crond | never. also, it DOES have an irc client. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs?action=browse;oldid=EmacsIRCClient;id=ERC | 12:31 |
| crond | lol | 12:31 |
| crond | Emacs: "Screw the kitchen sink approach, we toss the entire house at it." | 12:31 |
| hal90001 | i heard about emacs but do not really know what that is - there is "mac" in the name that worries me ^^ | 12:32 |
| Unit193 | crond: He was politely asking you to tone down the negativity, actually. | 12:32 |
| knome | Unit193, yes | 12:32 |
| Unit193 | hal90001: Text editor with extensions. | 12:32 |
| crond | Unit193, pfft. I'm just playfully taking cracks at emacs, if people don't have enough of a sense of humour to handle some teasing, then they have other issues | 12:33 |
| crond | also, if they care enough about a text editor to get offended, more issues. | 12:33 |
| hal90001 | nano and mousepad are nice | 12:33 |
| knome | crond, maybe, but this is also a family-friendly and all-inclusive channel, so let's be nice and not make people go away even if they had problems that made them leave... | 12:34 |
| crond | emacs is notoriously ...feature rich. I don't see how on earth making a joke about that could be 'non-inclusive' | 12:34 |
| crond | it's a text editor, not gender identity | 12:35 |
| crond | but fair enough | 12:35 |
| crond | I haven't ever used mousepad | 12:37 |
| knome | it's a good, simple GUI text editor that does its job | 12:38 |
| hal90001 | I have a question here. There is a MIME Type Editor in Xubuntu. I can assign default programs to open specific file types and change the associations to another program. But there is no option to remove the file type association. That bugs me. | 12:38 |
| knome | hal90001, ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list | 12:40 |
| knome | i think that should do it.. | 12:40 |
| crond | wouldn't it be in /usr/share/applications/defaults.list or /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.cache ? | 12:41 |
| crond | Oh, yeah, or for local user. | 12:41 |
| knome | likely the one i mentioned, unless you want to remove some default defaults... | 12:41 |
| crond | what knome said | 12:41 |
| knome | and cache is just what it says - cache - don't trust it :P | 12:41 |
| crond | I have a tendancy to hamfistedly modify things for my entire system in the wrong places. | 12:41 |
| knome | unfortunately sometimes you kind of have to, and that's even worse | 12:42 |
| hal90001 | found it. /usr/share/xubuntu/applications/defaults.list seems to be the right one with the unwanted association i was looking for | 12:45 |
| hal90001 | thanks | 12:47 |
| hal90001 | okay have to to some day activities besides hacking linux and chatting with you - see ya and thanks for the help | 12:49 |
| Arief | someone, can you help me fix audio in XUBUNTU 16.04 ? | 13:10 |
| cfhowlett | !sound | Arief start here | 13:11 |
| ubottu | Arief start here: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 13:11 |
| crond | hmm firefox isn't scaling fonts with my system dpi scaling | 13:58 |
| anonymous_alias | hello @all | 18:40 |
| anonymous_alias | today I upgraded vrom 17.04 to 17.10 | 18:41 |
| anonymous_alias | now I have a strange behavior after I closed the lid of my laptop | 18:41 |
| anonymous_alias | after reopenning the lid the mouse pointer disappeared and when I move the mouse the lower part of the screen up to the line where the mouse pointers "hotspot" schould be flickers balck and white. | 18:43 |
| anonymous_alias | when I stop moving the mouse the desktop is shown as normal. | 18:44 |
| anonymous_alias | When I logg of and log in again the behavior is back to normal until I again close thze lid. | 18:45 |
| anonymous_alias | any hint where to look for the problem? | 18:45 |
| well_laid_lawn | anonymous_alias: see if the X log shows a clue | 18:54 |
| zleap | probably in /var/log | 18:58 |
| anonymous_alias | well_laid_lawn: something special to look for (except "error")? | 19:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | I have never seen your issue before so not sure how it would be happening | 19:12 |
| anonymous_alias | nothing suspecious in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:13 |
| well_laid_lawn | what's the vid card ? | 19:13 |
| anonymous_alias | VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 19:13 |
| anonymous_alias | Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) | 19:14 |
| well_laid_lawn | check to see if it is using sna when it needs uxa | 19:15 |
| anonymous_alias | can you guide me how? | 19:15 |
| anonymous_alias | on the other hand, it it was such a basic configuration, shouldnt it fail before closing the lid too? | 19:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | in a terminal grep -i sna /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 19:16 |
| anonymous_alias | returns nothing | 19:17 |
| well_laid_lawn | that was my guess for what's happening | 19:19 |
| anonymous_alias | looking for uxa in /var/log/Xorg.0.log also returns nothing | 19:20 |
| anonymous_alias | is that OK? | 19:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | probably | 19:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | some things to try - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/intel_graphics#SNA_issues | 19:27 |
| anonymous_alias | Thanks for the li9nk but none of them seams to e applicapable because they have different failure descriptions. Also they seam to apply for lder GCs before Rev06 whereas I have Rev07. | 19:43 |
| well_laid_lawn | it does seem to be an odd thing you have happening there anonymous_alias | 19:47 |
| anonymous_alias | think so too... ;o) | 19:52 |
| anonymous_alias | the odd thing is that I only made a minor update and now it's broken... | 19:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | it will be systemd handling the lid closing/opening iirc | 19:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | something with that might have changed with the update | 19:57 |
| anonymous_alias | I wonder how to find out what... | 20:10 |
| anonymous_alias | quite strange: I just figured out that when I switch to a console (<strg><alt><f1>) and back to grphic console (<alt><f7>) the problem disapears (until I close the lid next time...). So at least I have a work around. | 20:54 |
| anonymous_alias | Thanks well_laid_lawn for your time! | 20:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 20:56 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | is asking for help with xubuntu appropriate here? | 21:06 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | welp | 21:08 |
| krytarik | See the topic, and just ask away. | 21:09 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | when i boot it up , it shiw the xubuntu logo and the after a few seconds starts flashing and doesn't boot. not a gpu issue. | 21:13 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | any help is appreciated | 21:13 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | here's what i tried: chrooting and upgrading the system with apt-get upgrade and also apt-get autoremove | 21:14 |
| Atomic_fZQd2 | i also tried reconfigurong with dpkg | 21:14 |
| === Atomic_fZQd2 is now known as quantzbeats | ||
| krytarik | !nomodeset | Atomic_fZQd2: Also tried this yet? | 21:15 |
| ubottu | Atomic_fZQd2: Also tried this yet?: 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 | 21:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | from the live cd you should be able to mount the os and check the kernel log too | 21:16 |
| quantzbeats | well_laid_lawn: where's the kernel log? in /var/log ? | 21:18 |
| quantzbeats | ubottu: will try that now | 21:18 |
| ubottu | quantzbeats: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 21:18 |
| well_laid_lawn | yep in /var/log | 21:19 |
| quantzbeats | ok will check after work. | 21:22 |
| quantzbeats | gtg | 21:23 |
| quantzbeats | ttyl | 21:23 |
| quantzbeats | thanks | 21:23 |
