| Babloyi | ugh...windows has such bothersome problems dualbooting. I have all my data, including music on a different partition from either OS, and in windows I selected it as the Music folder, and now its blocked me from accessing the folder in xubuntu | 07:23 |
|---|---|---|
| Babloyi | no idea if that's the reason | 07:23 |
| diogenes_ | Babloyi, boot into windows then from windows reboot the pc, it will go straight to xubuntu and all should be fine | 07:36 |
| diogenes_ | also you could disable fastboot in windows | 07:36 |
| Babloyi | no, the booting is not so much of a problem, it loads into xubuntu by default | 07:41 |
| Babloyi | just that I can't access my music on what should be a neutral drive :/ | 07:41 |

| mouses | Having a issue that is a little beyond me here. Older Acer Aspire V5, running xubuntu 18.04 -> all was fine for 2 weeks post install. Had system setup to autolog in the primary user. Suddenly, as of today - it boots fine, puts me in a GUI login screen. I enter the user name and password (which I am 100% sure is correct). Screen goes back for 3 seconds, and then pops back on with the same login screen. | 16:46 |
| mouses | Problem solved, nevermind! | 17:04 |
| Spass | mouses, what was the issue? | 17:21 |
| mouses | Spass: Like a bad user, I was making some changes to xinput to disable a faulty touchscreen, was doing so from a non GUI boot. After making changes, I didn't reboot or startx, I did a sudo startx | 17:22 |
| mouses | Spass: so ~/Xauthority got chowned to root:root | 17:22 |
| * mouses hangs head in shame | 17:22 | |
| Spass | ok thanks, always good to know how to fix things | 17:24 |
| mouses | Spass: One more issue that is a small thing -> can't seem to set behavior of 'stop blanking the screen/turning off displays/doing *anything*' when I close the lid | 17:26 |
| mouses | Spass: happen to know how to totally disable doing anything at all whatsoever based on laptop lid status? | 17:27 |
| Spass | mouses, I'm not on my laptop at the moment, so hard to tell, but I assume that options in "xfce4-power-manager-settings" don't work for you? | 17:29 |
| mouses | Spass: Nah, there's only 3 options under 'when laptop lid is closed' (switch off display, suspend, lock screen) | 17:31 |
| mouses | Spass: problem is, when I have this system hooked up to a TV to play movies or whatever, I have to keep the lid open... | 17:31 |
| mouses | as all 3 settings will turn off all displays | 17:32 |
| Spass | hmm, let me check on my laptop, 1 sec | 17:32 |
| mouses | Spass: I seem to want to remember earlier versions had a 'do nothing' in that list | 17:32 |
| knome | mouses, there definitely should be "Do nothing" in the list on power manager settings | 17:35 |
| Spass | mouses, can confirm, I don't have "Do nothing" on my laptop too | 17:37 |
| knome | i also have the label for display brightness keys but no dropdown (i don't have display brightness keys, so that's fair...) | 17:37 |
| knome | but the label shouldn't be there either ;) | 17:37 |
| mouses | so weird | 17:38 |
| mouses | why does my power manager not have a 'do nothing' setting? | 17:38 |
| mouses | I can take a picture of it if you want to see | 17:38 |
| knome | a bug? | 17:38 |
| mouses | knome: it's a super fresh install of xubuntu 18.04 on a acer aspire V5 | 17:48 |
| Spass | in my case fresh 18.04 install, Dell Latitude E6410 | 17:49 |
| mouses | Wonder if there's a way I can manually do it via some creative editing of things, i'll dig around | 17:49 |
| mouses | google to the rescue! | 17:50 |
| mouses | http://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/04/28/change-lid-close-action-ubuntu-18-04-lts/ | 17:50 |
| mouses | it might apply, we'll see ;) | 17:50 |
| mouses | hmm no luck :( | 18:03 |
| mouses | Anyone happen to have any idea how I can force 'do nothing' behavior re: laptop lid open/closed? | 18:03 |
| Spass | mouses, another thing worth trying - in /etc/UPower/UPower.conf change "IgnoreLid=false" to "IgnoreLid=true" | 18:07 |
| mouses | Spass: on it! let's see.. | 18:08 |
| mouses | Spass: that same file also exists in /etc/UPower.conf - do I need to change both? | 18:09 |
| mouses | Spass: oh wait, nevermind mind - i'm brain dead today. It does not, I just need more coffee before using the ls command :P | 18:10 |
| Spass | ok cool, I was just writing that I don't have that file | 18:11 |
| mouses | Spass: nope, it's still turning off all displays on lid close | 18:12 |
| mouses | (did a reboot after the change before testing) | 18:12 |
| mouses | maybe it's a hardware thing | 18:12 |
| Spass | will see on my laptop | 18:12 |
| Spass | hdd, so give me 10 minutes... :/ | 18:13 |
| mouses | hehehe the laptop I am making these changes to is also HDD, I am so spoiled by systems with SSD and eMMC now - anything more than 5-10 seconds to boot just feels like I am a caveperson banging rocks together | 18:14 |
| mouses | thinking this might be a hardware thing, going to approach it from the 'stop disabling HDMI when lid closed' angle and see if that works | 18:15 |
| mouses | Spass: While the laptop display does turn off when lid is closed still, the changes we made = HDMI stays on! | 18:18 |
| mouses | Spass: So I'm 100% happy now, don't worry about helping me anymore :) | 18:18 |
| mouses | Spass: thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction! | 18:18 |
| Spass | no problem, well, that UPower change doesn't do anything on my laptop too, it still suspends | 18:19 |
| Spass | probably a bug | 18:19 |
| mouses | hey, now I can close the lid while using VLC on a secondary display, so... i'm a happy mouses! | 18:20 |
| mouses | \o/ | 18:20 |
| Spass | ok, now I don't see lid options in GUI power manager settings at all, hat's one change :) | 18:21 |
| Spass | *that's | 18:21 |
| Spass | I wonder if it's a bug with UPower, systemd or xfce4-power-manager | 18:23 |
