| kamo | Hey! | 05:59 |
|---|---|---|
| cfhowlett | Ho! | 06:00 |
| kamo | So, after I enter my password onto the lockscreen, I get greeted with a lock logo with "you'll be redirected to the unlock dialogue automatically in a few second" but nothing really happens. How do I go back to my desktop? | 06:01 |
| cfhowlett | version? | 06:01 |
| kamo | 18.04 | 06:01 |
| cfhowlett | try this: https://www.linuxslaves.com/2016/05/3-ways-fix-ubuntu-gets-stuck-login-loop.html | 06:02 |
| kamo | Yeah, but that requires me to reboot, and I have a ton of applications opened on my desktop. Ctrl+alt+f7 doesn't work. | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | that seems a bit irrelevant as you can't presently login. Am I missing something? | 06:17 |
| kamo | So I can't spawn a shell | 06:24 |
| kamo | Cfhowlett: yes, I'm not able to login | 06:24 |
| cfhowlett | then your open apps don't matter much. try one of the solutions I sent you. | 06:25 |
| kamo | Okay Thanks | 06:37 |
| kamo | And also my xubuntu machine keeps freezing every now and then | 06:37 |
| kamo | I don't know why | 06:38 |
| cfhowlett | insufficient data for the most wildest guess | 06:38 |
| sm0rux | I've tried to search on DuckDuckGo but don't find the answer. Maybe someone here remember. There is a way to get vertical scrolling smother in all programs. If I remember correctly it was something in the GTK2 or GTK3 config. Anyone here that can help? | 09:48 |
| mubarak | sm0rux: synclient? enable two finger scrolling will be like this: $ synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1 | $ synclient -l for all the options | 10:07 |
| sm0rux | mubarak: That might work, but it's really not what I'm looking for. It was a oneliner in ~/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini (if I recall correctly). | 10:10 |
| sm0rux | mubarak: Found it. It was "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false" but I forgot to add a line "[Settings]" before the actual line. | 10:15 |
| sm0rux | Now it work! | 10:15 |
| sm0rux | *works | 10:15 |
| kaladin | I'm kind of new to xubuntu and I'll be able to run StarCraft 2 on it. | 16:08 |
| kaladin | Any advice? | 16:08 |
| APoliTech | hey all! i have a quick question. Xubuntu have the new minimal install? | 17:10 |
| krytarik | No. | 17:11 |
| APoliTech | :( thx :(( | 17:11 |
| krytarik | (There is Xubuntu Core though.) | 17:11 |
| APoliTech | sadly not the same | 17:13 |
| krytarik | Yes, ours is better. :P | 17:13 |
| Unit193 | The "new minimal" install still contains the full desktop so the ISO is no smaller, and just uninstalls a few things after install. So yes, they aren't the same. :> | 17:14 |
| APoliTech | but why xubuntu did not provide minimal install? | 17:15 |
| Unit193 | Given what I stated, why should it? | 17:16 |
| APoliTech | fist to have fully working uefi suport? | 17:17 |
| nova_ | This is going to sound crazy...but I want to edit a file as root using a GUI editor. I'm just not a huge fan of vi, nano, etc. Sure some people will say login as root or just sudu mousepad, but we all know thats crazy. Some others will say use gksu/gksudo or pkexec....but it seems that is also crazy. I even tried to confgigure pkexec to work and it stopped me with one final warning about how it was a bad idea before | 18:06 |
| nova_ | giving me an arguement to override and allow it. I guess my question is if there is a safe and correct way to use a gui text editor to modify files requiring root privledges | 18:06 |
| Iolo | sudoedit, perhaps? | 18:58 |
| Iolo | That's the closest thing I can think of. | 18:58 |
| flocculant | nova_: you shouldn't need to muck about - pkexec mousepad is provided default | 19:09 |
| nova_ | flocculant: Oh! SO it is. I should have been more specific I guess and not given such a generic answer assuming that mousepad would work the same as what I wanted to use. I'm actually interested in using Notepadqq | 19:11 |
| flocculant | then you'll have to muck about ;) | 19:13 |
| nova_ | flocculant: I made an action file for it and run with with pkexec notepadqq, but I got a warning about the perils of using root with it but it said use -allowroot or something to override it | 19:15 |
| nova_ | I'm worried about mucking about too much...I felt like i was too far into the muck | 19:16 |
| flocculant | mmm - well never seen that warning here | 19:56 |
| krytarik | Yes, because it's specific to that app. | 19:57 |
| nova_ | The people who make notepadqq seem to like snap, and I understand that snap wont be able to use root anyway. I had to use the PPA install method to get as far as I did and they say they want to eventually just use snap...so I guess running as root isn't going to ever be a priority for them | 20:19 |
| nova_ | I'll just stick to nano or mousepad I guess..thanks for the input | 20:20 |
| m00n_urn | Hey! My xubuntu machine keeps freezing every now and then (today alone: 4 times). I have to restart it everytime to get it to work again. I've lost all my xubuntu settings the last time I restarted due to it freezing. Xubuntu 18.04. | 20:54 |
| m00n_urn | I had to* | 20:55 |
| Javabean | for reference, what programs were running during these freezes. what kind of pc is it. | 20:57 |
| Javabean | for reference, what programs were running during these freezes. what kind of pc is it. | 20:57 |
| m00n_urn_ | What do you guys think is causing it? | 20:58 |
| m00n_urn_ | Javabean, it's a Thinkpad E450. Many. A torrent client, XMPP client, FF, a few text files, a terminal. | 20:59 |
| Javabean | i am not someone who can help, but i do know that they needed a bit more information before they could start to figure out what might be wrong. patience is a virtue, someone in this room might be able to help, but it may take a while before they see the question | 21:01 |
| m00n_urn_ | Javabean, understood. Thanks. :) | 21:02 |
| Javabean | sorry i can't help more, that sounds like an annoying issue | 21:03 |
| m00n_urn_ | No worries. :) The thing is I wanted to move to lighter distro before moving to Xubuntu from Ubuntu trusty. But, this happens so often it's just plain annoying. | 21:05 |
| m00n_urn_ | Do I have to provide any system logs to rectify this issue? | 21:11 |
| m00n_urn | google doesn't return anything, atleast not specific to my issue. :\ | 21:19 |
| Javabean | sure it couldn't hurt the diagnosis to go ahead and paste the logs to https://paste.ubuntu.com and then posting the link here | 21:20 |
| m00n_urn | but where would I collect them from? | 21:20 |
| Javabean | good question... i don't even know which ones might be relevant | 21:21 |
| m00n_urn | hah, okay | 21:21 |
| Javabean | i just thunk, do you have temperature monitoring setup on that laptop?? as a far left field idea, maybe it overheated and thermal shutdown messily | 21:28 |
