[01:19] hello i really am impressed with this persistent live USB version of Lubuntu 17.10.1 it's wonderfully quick [01:20] i'm just having some browser issues [01:21] both opera and vivaldi seemed to be installing through firefox but i can't find any sign of them [01:22] 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. [02:20] 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. [02:21] 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 [02:22] I'm running lubuntu, upgraded to the newest one [02:22] and what i want to do is set up my own email server.... like ripdisk@mydomain.com [02:23] so i can use an email client to check my email and stuff just like any other email server [02:23] i found a few tutorial, followed them to the tee and am having problems [02:23] Have you come in here for help before ripdisk? [02:23] yeah [02:24] I only ask because I asked a question just before you did, I haven't seen anyone else talk in here yet. [02:24] ah. [02:24] ok. [03:34] 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 [03:35] Can someone walk me through how to add that to a script that runs on startup? Sort of a newb here [11:53] 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 :) [16:28] hi [16:29] is there a blueman expert here? I'm trying to get it to work using blueman, but not much luck so far [16:29] perhaps my phone is not compatible, or perhaps I am missing something [17:45] 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)? [17:51] are you sure pa is involved? [17:52] antis what pc? laptop? or regular keyboard for a tower? [17:52] 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] ie: I have a thinkpad here, a x220, I installed the packages for thinpads [17:53] if a regular keyboard you can find the keys with a tool... [17:53] xev in console [17:54] it opens a window... [17:54] then you place the mouse cursor in the window [17:54] then in the console it gives you the keycode you have to use to put in a file [17:54] 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 [17:55] antis the file being .Xmodmap [17:56] that you may need to create [17:57] antis it looks beautiful! [17:57] what desktop environment do you have? Perhaps there is a gui tool... [17:59] melodie: thanks! works like a charm (with those minor twirks)… setup a customized lubuntu/lxqt environment with cairo-dock. lovely <3 :) [18:02] antis do you have the i7 version or the i5 one? Your page does not seem quite clear about that [18:02] 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 [18:05] 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] 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) [18:06] antis I never heard of grub settings to key fn keys to work. grub is only a boot loader [18:06] keyboard is managed by the x server [18:08] 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. [18:09] and what about the acpi errors on boot? Is it a warning, which might be harmless, or does it cause any trouble? [18:09] (you might expect everything to work on a computer having for name "tuxedo"!) [18:09] melodie: no trouble with acpi, but it just "doesn't look right" [18:09] I mean : everything to work "out of the box"! that is [18:10] antis sure, I don't like error messages either, though as long as they don't cause annoyance I just ignore them [18:10] well, else than that I seek for help with bluetooth [18:11] I read docs, installed packages, configured, tested, it works very little and not fully [18:11] 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 [18:12] 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] ok [18:16] bbl [18:16] 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] nice! thanks for the info [18:17] did you try it? Does it work? [18:17] need to find the command :) [18:18] doesn't it come with a menu entry? [18:20] I just installed it, that's not a gui [18:20] rather a daemon and some config files + a strange gui in which you need to add configs manually [18:20] xev seems more simple ^^ [18:21] naah. what's more simple than just pressing the key? ^^ [18:22] btw. it works :) [18:22] https://askubuntu.com/questions/97936/terminal-command-to-set-audio-volume [18:22] good: [18:22] this is not about using the keyboard keys though [18:24] (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] here is mine, made for my Logitech illuminated keyboard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VDmHn94bMj/ [18:24] I don't use lxqt [18:25] if you want to try xev, you can successfully configure many special keys, as long as the X server finds them [18:26] going to cook dinner now [18:26] bbl [18:44] melodie: and here is mine; works for me! :) -> https://imgur.com/vIRKiz9 [18:45] melodie: for your bluetooth problem i don't have much experience with that. however it all comes down to the "bluez" kernel modules [18:46] yes, I know, thanks. :) [18:46] see you! [20:23] hi [20:23] is there a blueman expert here? I'm trying to get it to work using blueman, but not much luck so far [20:23] perhaps my phone is not compatible, or perhaps I am missing something [20:24] I read docs, installed packages, configured, tested, it works very little and not fully [20:24] 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 [20:24] someone? [22:15] how to make xrdp connect to the existing desktop and existing desktop only like vino === tsimonq2alt is now known as tsimonq2 [22:59] flyback: you mean you want to connect to an active session? [23:05] melodie: prbly start here: hcitool dev # this should print out at least one mac address for the bluetooth adapter
