| pathword | hello i really am impressed with this persistent live USB version of Lubuntu 17.10.1 it's wonderfully quick | 01:19 |
|---|---|---|
| pathword | i'm just having some browser issues | 01:20 |
| pathword | both opera and vivaldi seemed to be installing through firefox but i can't find any sign of them | 01:21 |
| pathword | i just want to be able to keep using the VPN that I paid for, so wanted a fairly run of the mill but privacy focussed browser. | 01:22 |
| pathword | hello. do you think creating a new Ubuntu 16.04 server would work for Lubuntu 17.10.1? The end goal is to set up an OpenVPN server. | 02:20 |
| ripdisk | Hello everybody, I'm in some serious need of help. I have drawn a complete blank and cannot remember how to do anything i'm trying to do whatsoever | 02:21 |
| ripdisk | I'm running lubuntu, upgraded to the newest one | 02:22 |
| ripdisk | and what i want to do is set up my own email server.... like ripdisk@mydomain.com | 02:22 |
| ripdisk | so i can use an email client to check my email and stuff just like any other email server | 02:23 |
| ripdisk | i found a few tutorial, followed them to the tee and am having problems | 02:23 |
| pathword | Have you come in here for help before ripdisk? | 02:23 |
| ripdisk | yeah | 02:23 |
| pathword | I only ask because I asked a question just before you did, I haven't seen anyone else talk in here yet. | 02:24 |
| ripdisk | ah. | 02:24 |
| ripdisk | ok. | 02:24 |
| Ashley_ | Ok, I have a touchpad on this HP that is maddening. I want to disable it permanently. The following works but the touchpad is re-enabled after reboot: xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0 | 03:34 |
| Ashley_ | Can someone walk me through how to add that to a script that runs on startup? Sort of a newb here | 03:35 |
| za1b1tsu | Hello, Im using multiple terminals, so alt-tabbing is not very elegant since the icon is the same and the name it's the user anyway I add some information to the icon or have a dynamic icon..or something :) | 11:53 |
| melodie | hi | 16:28 |
| melodie | is there a blueman expert here? I'm trying to get it to work using blueman, but not much luck so far | 16:29 |
| melodie | perhaps my phone is not compatible, or perhaps I am missing something | 16:29 |
| antis | Hey guys, how you doing? Does somebody know how to get the volume keys working with pulseaudio (for me "Fn + F5 to F7" -> mute, lower volume, higher volume)? | 17:45 |
| melodie | are you sure pa is involved? | 17:51 |
| melodie | antis what pc? laptop? or regular keyboard for a tower? | 17:52 |
| antis | oh forgot -> lubuntu 16.04 with intel sound card (chipset: Realtek ALC269VC) - learned with 18.04 this problem might "just vanish" and also the firefox + alsa dilemma… :) | 17:52 |
| melodie | ie: I have a thinkpad here, a x220, I installed the packages for thinpads | 17:52 |
| melodie | if a regular keyboard you can find the keys with a tool... | 17:53 |
| melodie | xev in console | 17:53 |
| melodie | it opens a window... | 17:54 |
| melodie | then you place the mouse cursor in the window | 17:54 |
| melodie | then in the console it gives you the keycode you have to use to put in a file | 17:54 |
| antis | it's a tuxedo laptop -> https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Notebooks/173-inch/TUXEDO-Book-BM1707-173-non-glare-Full-HD-IPS-up-to-Intel-Core-i7-quad-core-energy-saving-CPU-up-to-three-HDD/SSD-up-to-32GB-RAM-up-to-10h-battery-backlit-keyboard-DVD-or-Blu-Ray-4G/LTE-opt.tuxedo | 17:54 |
| melodie | antis the file being .Xmodmap | 17:55 |
| melodie | that you may need to create | 17:56 |
| melodie | antis it looks beautiful! | 17:57 |
| melodie | what desktop environment do you have? Perhaps there is a gui tool... | 17:57 |
| antis | melodie: thanks! works like a charm (with those minor twirks)… setup a customized lubuntu/lxqt environment with cairo-dock. lovely <3 :) | 17:59 |
| melodie | antis do you have the i7 version or the i5 one? Your page does not seem quite clear about that | 18:02 |
| melodie | about the keyboard, you may either use the manual method I just told you, or try to find a gui tool in the preferences in lxqt : not sure what they can provide | 18:02 |
| antis | the i7 one - doesn't matter much though concerning this topic. however after adding some grub settings to make the fn-keys work i get a bunch of "acpi" errors on boot - but keys are fully functional. whish lubuntu could become an official supported distro one day… | 18:05 |
| melodie | antis I was not precise enough : when the mouse cursor is in the xev window, then you press the key you want to configure : from there, the console will display the corresponding keycode (among lots of garbage... you need to be tricky) | 18:05 |
| melodie | antis I never heard of grub settings to key fn keys to work. grub is only a boot loader | 18:06 |
| melodie | keyboard is managed by the x server | 18:06 |
| antis | yeah i am aware of that - however somehow it tells the acpi kernel module, which hardware is in use -> this in turn makes the fn-keys work. they won't work without it. | 18:08 |
| melodie | and what about the acpi errors on boot? Is it a warning, which might be harmless, or does it cause any trouble? | 18:09 |
| melodie | (you might expect everything to work on a computer having for name "tuxedo"!) | 18:09 |
| antis | melodie: no trouble with acpi, but it just "doesn't look right" | 18:09 |
| melodie | I mean : everything to work "out of the box"! that is | 18:09 |
| melodie | antis sure, I don't like error messages either, though as long as they don't cause annoyance I just ignore them | 18:10 |
| melodie | well, else than that I seek for help with bluetooth | 18:10 |
| melodie | I read docs, installed packages, configured, tested, it works very little and not fully | 18:11 |
| melodie | and I'm a newbee regarding bluetooth, so if I could make it work or find why it does not work that would be nice. I need help with that | 18:11 |
| antis | system itself works out of the box. however i use a "customized" system, as lubuntu unfortunately is not officially supported by tuxedo -> hope this will be in a not too far future. | 18:12 |
| melodie | ok | 18:12 |
| melodie | bbl | 18:16 |
| antis | btw. via your hint i found a more "integrative" solutoion with lxqt; thus, one doesn't have to fiddle around with xev anymore (they bring a full featured "global keys management" aka lxqt-globalkeys). that keeps everything in one single place. | 18:16 |
| melodie | nice! thanks for the info | 18:16 |
| melodie | did you try it? Does it work? | 18:17 |
| antis | need to find the command :) | 18:17 |
| melodie | doesn't it come with a menu entry? | 18:18 |
| melodie | I just installed it, that's not a gui | 18:20 |
| melodie | rather a daemon and some config files + a strange gui in which you need to add configs manually | 18:20 |
| melodie | xev seems more simple ^^ | 18:20 |
| antis | naah. what's more simple than just pressing the key? ^^ | 18:21 |
| antis | btw. it works :) | 18:22 |
| antis | https://askubuntu.com/questions/97936/terminal-command-to-set-audio-volume | 18:22 |
| melodie | good: | 18:22 |
| melodie | this is not about using the keyboard keys though | 18:22 |
| antis | (second answer i think is the better one with pulseaudio). i don't remember exactly, but maybe this is preconfigured when installing the first time - started with lxqt "in the early days" you know :) | 18:24 |
| melodie | here is mine, made for my Logitech illuminated keyboard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VDmHn94bMj/ | 18:24 |
| melodie | I don't use lxqt | 18:24 |
| melodie | if you want to try xev, you can successfully configure many special keys, as long as the X server finds them | 18:25 |
| melodie | going to cook dinner now | 18:26 |
| melodie | bbl | 18:26 |
| antis | melodie: and here is mine; works for me! :) -> https://imgur.com/vIRKiz9 | 18:44 |
| antis | melodie: for your bluetooth problem i don't have much experience with that. however it all comes down to the "bluez" kernel modules | 18:45 |
| melodie | yes, I know, thanks. :) | 18:46 |
| melodie | see you! | 18:46 |

| melodie | someone? | 20:24 |
| flyback | how to make xrdp connect to the existing desktop and existing desktop only like vino | 22:15 |
| === tsimonq2alt is now known as tsimonq2 | ||
| antis | flyback: you mean you want to connect to an active session? | 22:59 |
| antis | melodie: prbly start here: hcitool dev # this should print out at least one mac address for the bluetooth adapter | 23:05 |
