[02:57] <ssarah_> Hi. On xubuntu 18. Just installed eclipse from apt. Doesn't start. Anyone else experiencing the same?
[10:53] <nikolam> Anyone knows how I can make lightdm appear at the same resolution as with log in and use, if screen is locked - lightdm is displayed in very low resolution when entering password after screenlock , instead
[10:53] <nikolam> I solved it by installing xscreensaver and setting it to spare monitor from working by turning off power if not used.
[11:15] <pmjdebru1jn> that's quite strange
[11:15] <pmjdebru1jn> light-locker does change vt
[11:15] <pmjdebru1jn> which graphics card do you have?
[11:15] <pmjdebru1jn> have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log if anything pops up?
[11:18] <nikolam> nvidia 9800gt
[11:18] <pmjdebru1jn> heh
[11:18] <pmjdebru1jn> presumably you're using the nvidia binary blob driver?
[11:25] <nikolam> pmjdebru1jn, yes 340 from Ubuntu repo
[11:26] <nikolam> using xscreensaver made it behave
[11:26] <nikolam> I just can't get OpenCL to work
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> no xscreensaver didn't make it behave at all
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> xscreensaver doesn't do the same thing
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> therefore you don't see the issue
[11:33] <nikolam> ok
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> the nvidia blob driver probably doesn't handle the console switch properly
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> presumably because it has no drm counterpart
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> though i'm not an expert
[11:33] <pmjdebru1jn> but it's probably nvidia fault
[11:35] <nikolam> https://bpaste.net/show/884faf52f68e
[11:36] <pmjdebru1jn> yeah sorry I'm not spending my time on nVidia mess :)
[11:36] <pmjdebru1jn> don't have much time to begin with
[11:36] <pmjdebru1jn> at least you have a pointer now :)
[11:36] <pmjdebru1jn> but again, I'm hardly an expert
[11:37] <nikolam> Would try Nvida driver form nvidia site, because I don't see OpenCL is working
[11:37] <pmjdebru1jn> generally I wouldn't recommend it
[11:37] <pmjdebru1jn> the packages are there for a reason
[11:37] <nikolam> i'll keep using xscreensaver
[11:37] <nikolam> ok
[11:54] <pmjdebru1jn> nikolam: stick around, maybe someone else can be more helpful
[11:54] <nikolam> No idea how to make OpenCL working. Researching
[12:02] <xubuntu51d> i can't apt-get update it's stuck at 0%
[12:04] <Javabean> i can't help, but i know that they would need to know what server is in the /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:05] <xubuntu51d> ###### Ubuntu Main Repos deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main  deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main   ###### Ubuntu Update Repos deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main  deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main  deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-security main  deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main
[12:12] <nikolam> I have set to download form "Main server in software-properties-gtk, it helps with problematic mirrors. Even better is to put bug report on your mirror maybe
[12:12] <nikolam> it's archive.ubuntu.com after setting to Main server
[14:01] <james1138> Can I ask a question about Pidgin and Ubuntu here or is there a channel for Pidgin?
[14:07] <pmjdebru1jn> james1138: you can ask questions about applications, though the knowledge level for any particular application here may very well be lower than any application specific channel
[14:07] <pmjdebru1jn> james1138: what support oppertunities there are for any particular you, you'd need to check their particular websites
[14:14] <james1138> I only found a german IRC for Pidgin. I upgrade to Xubuntu 18.04 and Pidgin will not launch. Has anyone got Pidgin installed and running on 18.04?
[14:16] <pmjdebru1jn> james1138: what do you see when you start pidgin from a console
[14:16] <pmjdebru1jn> does it segfault? do you see any error
[14:17] <pmjdebru1jn> does mv ~/.purple ~/.purple.old allow pidgin to start again?
[14:30] <james1138> sorry for the delay. nothing happens when I click to startup Pidgin
[14:33] <james1138> Using PSI+ in the meantime but in the past used Pidgin also for messaging Facebook friends.
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> james1138: you didn't answer any of my questions
[14:47] <james1138> Sorry. Last night fed up and removed pidgin from system.
[14:47] <pmjdebru1jn> james1138: what is your purpose of being here then?
[14:47] <pmjdebru1jn> gave you me the impression you wanted to troubleshoot the issue?
[14:48] <james1138> I started Xubunu less than a month ago and shall need insight from time to time.
[22:21] <Schtern> i need some fast help
[22:21] <Schtern> I installed 18.04 LTS and my mistake formatted /home
[22:22] <Schtern> i of course intended to keep it, just make a clean install
[22:22] <Schtern> since only the ext4 headers have been written and I havent written anything else, I should be able to restore it as it was
