| nikolam | Am I wrong or I can't put the path in file system to load files anymore (like in File>Open dialogue) ?? | 05:33 |
|---|---|---|
| nikolam | I am on 18.04 Xubuntu | 05:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | in thunar ? | 05:34 |
| nikolam | Why would anyone remove such a useful thing, like full file path when loading files? Is it Xfce thing, Thunar thing or Xubuntu thing? | 05:34 |
| nikolam | Like in Firefox or any other app, when I invoke to open file, default system requester opens, and it lacks full path to paste in to find a file | 05:34 |
| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam | ||
| diogenes_ | nikolam, i didn't get what you lack. | 05:40 |
| nikolam | I lack ability to paste PATH to file I want to open. Like I have opened /home/username/Documents/ in a windows and there is 'file' in it. And when I do File>Open in any application, file selection appears, and I can not just paste "/home/username/Documents/" in it to seleft file, but I need to browse to file every time in that File>Open dialogue. | 05:42 |
| nikolam | That option is now fully missing in Xubuntu, and is present in any other OS since forever. | 05:42 |
| nikolam | It is a bug waste of time and i am wondering if lacking of full path line in File Open dialogue on Xubuntu is about Xubuntu, about Xfce or about something else | 05:43 |
| nikolam | If path to the file is more complicated then I waste much time instead of just Copy/paste path to it's dir, when opening it. | 05:44 |
| nikolam | diogenes_, Did you get it now? | 05:44 |

| a_dinosaur_ | hey guys | 09:08 |
| a_dinosaur_ | I'm trying to figure out how to modify my touchpad settings, and setup a key to toggle it | 09:08 |
| a_dinosaur_ | looks like there's a lot of different ways des handle touchpad input though, and I'm not sure what xubuntu 18.04 is using, or how to check | 09:09 |
| a_dinosaur_ | if I can get the touchpad to behave like it did when I tried gnome shell/mate that would be sweet | 09:10 |
| well_laid_lawn | a_dinosaur_: try looking at man synclient | 09:20 |
| a_dinosaur_ | so it's safe to say xubuntu is using synaptic? | 09:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | all touchpad settings are fron synaptics | 09:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | it's the interface | 09:21 |
| a_dinosaur_ | gotcha | 09:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | cheers | 09:21 |
| a_dinosaur_ | apparently some des are phasing syn out, or not using it at all, so I wasn't sure | 09:22 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't know what a des is ... | 09:22 |
| a_dinosaur_ | my bad, I meant DEs as in Desktop Environments | 09:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | I haven't come across an alternative to synaptics | 09:24 |
| a_dinosaur_ | apparently libinput is used by gnome and some derivs nowadays | 09:25 |
| a_dinosaur_ | that's just a guess from the bits of info I've seen around | 09:25 |
| a_dinosaur_ | truth be told it's been ages since I ran linux with a gui | 09:25 |
| a_dinosaur_ | aight so I'm trying synclient TouchpadOff=1 | 09:26 |
| a_dinosaur_ | which doesn't seem to have any effect | 09:26 |
| a_dinosaur_ | when I run synclient -l it's correctly set to 1 | 09:26 |
| xubuntu41i | hey guys | 09:26 |
| well_laid_lawn | a_dinosaur_: try checking the X log to see if the synaptics driver is what's being used | 09:28 |
| knome | xubuntu41i, hello | 09:28 |
| a_dinosaur_ | yeah just trying to figure that out now | 09:30 |
| a_dinosaur_ | fwiw most of the mouse settings in xfce4-settings don't actually change anything | 09:31 |
| a_dinosaur_ | so maybe it's using the wrong driver? | 09:31 |
| a_dinosaur_ | Looking thru the xorg logs, libinput is being used for pretty much everything except the touchpad | 09:34 |
| a_dinosaur_ | the touchpad is using synaptics | 09:35 |
| a_dinosaur_ | and it even says it's explicitly ignoring a libinput rule on the touchpad, because it's using a different driver | 09:35 |
| a_dinosaur_ | wonder why synaptic is ignoring settings then | 09:36 |
| a_dinosaur_ | actually, it's applying some libinput rules before synaptics is loaded | 09:38 |
| a_dinosaur_ | I'm gonna try some things that will require me to reboot | 09:47 |
| a_dinosaur | I've tried removing synaptic, just to see what would happen | 09:57 |
| a_dinosaur | and yeah it's using libinput for the touchpad now | 09:57 |
| a_dinosaur | xfce4-mouse-settings seems to be the same old story | 09:58 |
| a_dinosaur | swapping mouse buttons, reversing scroll direction all works. Adjusting accel and sensitiviy does nothing | 09:58 |
| a_dinosaur | aight, so from what I'm gathering libinput is the so-called "way to the future" | 10:06 |
| a_dinosaur | but the switch has broken a lot of configurators that expected just... plain xinput I guess? | 10:06 |
| xubuntu18i | hello gus | 11:22 |
| xubuntu18i | *guys | 11:22 |
| knome | xubuntu18i, hello | 11:30 |
| christalleras | Hey, I have dual monitor set up with a normal monitor and a Wacom Cintiq drawing display, and I have problems figuring how to turn off that the pen is controlling the cursor on two monitors. What do I do to make it so it only controls the cursor on the cintiq. Thanks in advance. :) | 13:24 |
| christalleras | Please notify me if there comes an answer | 15:51 |
| diogenes_ | ? | 15:52 |
| christalleras | to the question I asked before that Diogenes | 16:12 |
| diogenes_ | ppl come and go so once in a while u have to repeat it | 16:14 |
| christalleras | Yeah | 16:22 |
| Guy__ | Anyone know how to get video thumbnails working? | 18:01 |
| diogenes_ | Guy__, what exactly? you got no thumnails? | 18:02 |
| steve3245 | Guy__, do you have the xubuntu-restricted-extras package installed already? (if you know) | 18:03 |
| Guy__ | A bunch of file types, mainly mkv, don’t have proper thumbnails. They’re green for whatever reason. I used to use a fix that involved changing the. | 18:03 |
| Guy__ | The .thumbnailer files, but I can’t get that to work as of 18.04 | 18:03 |
| Guy__ | I’ll download that package now and report back | 18:04 |
| diogenes_ | i've found an mkv and thumbnail is ok | 18:07 |
| steve3245 | I'm on 16.04LTS.... system is up-to-date. Went to install something from the "software" application (gnome-software) and it just won't load at all....anyone have similar experiences? | 18:08 |
| diogenes_ | steve3245, yes it's not that great better try synaptic | 18:09 |
| diogenes_ | works as swiss knife | 18:09 |
| steve3245 | Yes I usually never use it unless i want to look up some big graphical application with lots of dependencies | 18:10 |
| steve3245 | it just won't open at all now.... i tried strace on it but i can't tell what it's trying to do | 18:10 |
| Guy__ | Well, it just boots to a black screen now. I’ve even tried reinstalling it twice and still nothing. Very strange as I never had problems with an AMD gpu on 17.10 | 18:17 |
| Guy__ | Just booted after several minutes, took so long due to snapd.service, any ideas? | 18:22 |
| diogenes_ | Guy__, do you use snap? | 18:24 |
| Guy__ | It’s a fresh install, so no. | 18:24 |
| diogenes_ | sudo purge snap* | 18:24 |
| Guy__ | Thanks, I’ll,give it a go | 18:25 |
| diogenes_ | that the first thing i always do | 18:25 |
| diogenes_ | after fresh installation | 18:25 |
