[03:28] <xubuntu13i> Hello
[04:45] <xubuntu52w> How can i reinstall the version of lightdm xubuntu uses? when I apt-get install light-dm it installs the regular Ubuntu version
[04:47] <flocculant> xubuntu and ubuntu use the same version - same repository
[04:48] <krytarik> (Different greeter though.)
[04:58] <xubuntu52w> The problem im having is when I log in all i get is the mouse and the wallpaper, ive reinstalled lightdm the greeter and xubuntu-desktop and still same thing happens ive exhausted google search results, really dont want to reinstall :(  It was working fine for a few days then this happened out of nowhere
[05:00] <krytarik> Corrupted user profile rather.
[05:04] <xubuntu52w> any fix?
[05:15] <xubuntu52w> never mind i got it, that took forever
[07:32] <nova_> I just installed 18.04.  I've been using 16.04 previously.  I can't remember how I managed to make qt applications use my gtk theme (numix), but I did.  There are lots of suggestions online, so many that I don't want to try a bunch of random things that aren't the "correct" solution.  Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
[07:43] <Spass> nova_, I know that I once installed qt4-qtconfig to make the Qt4 apps look good and it worked, but I don't know how to "fix" Qt5 apps, I never tried
[07:47] <nova_> perhaps that's what I did on 16.04 too.  I'm looking into something called qt5ct right now that sounds similar
[07:50] <nova_> restarting brb
[08:18] <nova_> ok so i found the solution in case anyone wants to know.  I had to install qt5ct and qt5-style-plugins, then "export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct", which I added to the end of /home/.profile (perhaps not the right place.  After a reboot I ran qt5ct in a terminal without sudo, selected gtk2 as the style.  This took effect with notepadqq right away, but I had to select gtk2 in vlc preferences for it to take effect there.
[09:05] <Spass> in case someone is still interested, what worked for me was installing qt5-style-plugins and creating a ~/.pam_environment file with QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2
[09:06] <Spass> no reboot required even, works on VLC and VirtualBox
[09:06] <Unit193> The latter is not needed due to //etc/X11/Xsession.d/56xubuntu-session
[09:08] <Spass> you're right, now I see it, thanks, so only qt5-style-plugins does the job
[10:09] <ondondil> I mentioned here an issue with thunar yesterday. I was able to reproduce it on two different machines - AMD desktop PC and 5 years old Intel laptop. Here's a video demonstrating the problem: https://streamable.com/jllzj
[10:09] <ondondil> I sent the crash report using that automatic tool that comes preinstalled with Ubuntu (apport?, whoopsie? - I'm not sure what's its name) So, apart from that automatic bug report, is there anything I should do?
[10:09] <cfhowlett> wait.   patiently.
[10:14] <ondondil> okay then
[10:14] <ondondil> BTW I'd like to thank everyone involved in the Xubuntu project. Despite some minor issues Xubuntu 18.04 it's the best distro I've ever used.
[10:14] <Unit193> \o/
[10:15] <cfhowlett> happy2help! ondondil
[10:17] <GeorgeX> join
[13:21] <k5ehx> is there a link to where I can submit a bug?
[13:22] <k5ehx> as far as I can tell, this numlockx thing is only xubuntu
[13:22] <cfhowlett> !bug | k5ehx
[13:25] <k5ehx> wow, that is very non-obvious
[13:31] <k5ehx> why on earth did they enable this numlockx thing? This is hugely annoying and I don't understand why it is my problem that people don't know how to use their keyboards.
[13:33] <k5ehx> and when I hit numlock to turn it off it now turns it back on immediately. What? Why?
[15:10] <PhazonicRidley> hello, i am trying to install xubuntu on my rpi 3B+, i had to get the latest fw from rpi team's github and replaced the boot files, it boots, but i cannot control the pi with my mouse and keyboard does anyone know y?
[15:11] <cfhowlett> perhaps the drivers have not been properly configured
[15:11] <PhazonicRidley> how would i go about properly configuring them?
[15:13] <cfhowlett> never used a pi, but I suspect that's the parting point.  suggest you check in on the PI support channes
[15:13] <cfhowlett> channels
[15:13] <PhazonicRidley> asking in them as well
[21:15] <histeron> After installing Xubuntu 18.04 the keyboard layout is wrong.  the 'i' key types '5'.  Some of the keys work correctly, some do not.  It is set to the correct layout in settings.  The errors do not occur until after logging in - I'm able to type the password which includes keys that are incorrect after logging in.
[22:07] <Zunino> Old-time Ubuntu user here trying out Xubuntu for the first time. In short, very, very pleased with my experience.
[22:08] <Zunino> The only nagging issue I've been having has to do with screen tearing.
[22:08] <Zunino> Quite noticeable when scrolling page contents or when watching videos.
[22:09] <Zunino> I actually managed to alleviate the situation by enabling a setting in the "Window Manager Tweaks" application.
[22:10] <Zunino> However, it seems everytime I resume the system after having suspended it, the tearing comes back.
[22:10] <Unit193> Xubuntu also installs an example config for compton.
[22:13] <Zunino> FWIW, this is a Samsung laptop with an integrated Intel graphics controller and also an NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M.
[22:14] <Zunino> The NVIDIA Settings application allows one to choose from 2 profiles: performance mode (which uses the GeForce controller) and power saving mode (uses the Intel controller).
[22:15] <Zunino> I've noticed that, when selecting the performance mode, the screen tearing issue becomes even worse, being easily noticeable when, say, dragging windows across the desktop.
[22:17] <ondondil> I managed to get rid of screen tearing on my machine with intel gpu without changing window manager by setting TearFree option in the driver
