BionicMacYes. here also. I do want to give vivaldi a shot though. Now it's a clanISH install even though not official.00:00
mattflyhey do you have spotify?00:00
BionicMac24G ram here so I abuse my ff with tabs.00:00
BionicMacyes.00:00
mattflylol00:00
mattflyhey isnt spotify freezing all the time to you?00:00
BionicMacnever00:00
BionicMacbut there are several ways to install.00:00
mattflydamn why am I son unlucky :P00:01
mattflyi tried snap 00:01
mattflyand ppas00:01
mattflyboth have this problem00:01
BionicMacI tried them all. I have to look at my notes to see which I am runngin now.00:01
mattflyim with ppa right now00:01
BionicMacActually I ended up just using my browser. The audio was far better for me. 00:01
BionicMacIt was like a volume boost from app to web interface. noticable too. Cleaner and crisper.00:02
mattflyoh i should try that00:03
BionicMacKeep in mind the Linux spotify application is pet project and not considered stable.00:03
mattflyyeah but it worked nice on 16.0400:03
BionicMacI lov ethe web interface less headache and i can have my Panora or Spotify anytime, anywhere, any OS. =) quickly with no installs or learning curve.00:03
mattflyi cant get how hibernation could work so nice on 17.10 and now only crashes 00:03
BionicMacI actually like the web interface better for pandora and spotify.00:03
mattflyany chance the first lts release will be better?00:04
mattflytheres too much to fix from my point of view...00:04
BionicMacthe native linux spotify app?00:04
BionicMacI have no idea.00:04
mattflyno the ubuntu lagging00:06

BionicMacthat one is a bugger00:21

BionicMaclmms has historically been a resource hog.00:22

mattflyits not the problem00:22
BionicMachmm00:22
mattflydo you have virtual box?00:23

quidnuncHow do I change display managers?06:16
quidnuncdpkg-reconfigure doesn't seem to work anymore06:16
slidinghornquidnunc: try sudo update-alternatives --configure x-session-manager06:22
quidnunc--configure? --set-selections?06:23
slidinghorn--config  sorry06:23
quidnuncslidinghorn: Says gnome-session06:24
quidnuncslidinghorn: but /etc/X11/default-display-manager says lxde06:25
slidinghornLXDE isn't a display manager...which DM are you trying to use?06:26
quidnuncgdm06:26
slidinghorn(it *has* a display manager - lxdm)06:26
quidnuncsorry lxdm06:27
quidnuncI meant to say06:27
slidinghorn...and you have gdm installed, right?06:27
quidnuncI just re-installed gdm306:27
quidnuncthere doesn't seem to be a package named gdm anymore06:27
slidinghornok...if the update-alternatives method doesn't allow you to change it, just edit the /etc/X11/default-display-manager to say /usr/sbin/gdm306:29
slidinghorn(that should be the right path)06:29
quidnuncokay, dpkg-reconfigure gdm3 invokes the configuration selector, but I get "gdm.service is not active"06:30
quidnunc", cannot reload"06:30
quidnunc"invoke-rc.d: initscript gdm3, action 'reload' failed""06:30
slidinghornyou're on 18.04 right?06:30
quidnuncyes06:31
slidinghornsudo systemctl enable gdm.service  (you may have to disable the lxdm service - I'm not sure)06:32
quidnuncslidinghorn: Seems someone had a similar problem on stackexchange. Rebooting solves it, apparently06:34
quidnuncI'm going to try that06:34
quidnuncThanks for the help!06:34
slidinghorngood luck!06:34
quidnunc:)06:34
