[05:32] <Malsasa1> Hello, I am a new Xubuntu user. Big thanks to Xubuntu developers!
=== Malsasa1 is now known as Malsasa
[15:54] <ggz> hi
[15:55] <ggz> is it possible that i have installed xubuntu and /etc/lsb-release say ubuntu ?
[15:55] <pleia2> yes, that's normal
[15:59] <ggz> pleia2: how can i be sure i'm on xubuntu ?
[16:00] <diogenes_> ggz, maybe try neofetch
[16:04] <ggz> neofetch tell the same thing than /etc/lsb-release and /etc/apt/sources.list : i'm on ubuntu 18.04
[16:04] <pleia2> ggz: the difference between flavors is really just package-sets, and you can have multiple alongside each other (effectively meaning you could technically have xubuntu and kubuntu, and ubuntu...), so it gets kind of nebulous when talking about which you "have"
[16:05] <pleia2> but if you have the xubuntu-desktop package and are using xfce, I'd say you're "on xubuntu"
[16:05] <pleia2> $ dpkg -l | grep xubuntu-desktop
[16:05] <ggz> pleia2: ok so the source.list is the same as ubuntu ?
[16:05] <pleia2> yes
[16:06] <ggz> ok i didn't understood that, thank you =)
[16:06] <pleia2> you're welcome :)
[16:06] <ggz> i ask this because some channel refuse to take support for xubuntu, only for ubuntu
[16:08] <pleia2> yeah, the default user interface and applications are often different, so everything from "how to add a printer" to "how to play an mp3" will have different default answers
[16:08] <pleia2> someone familiar with Ubuntu support, won't know what default app Xubuntu has for playing music
[16:08] <ggz> but maybe you can help me with my real problem : since upgrading from 16.04 to 18.04, my external screen is no longer ON when booting, i need to go to display setting at each boot
[16:09] <pleia2> I've never seen that problem, but hopefully someone here can help :)
[16:10] <ggz> ok maybe you have seen my second problem : since upgrading, when i close the lid of my laptop, the external screen shut down (i guess because laptop goes to sleep)
[16:11] <ggz> i have no longer to option to "do nothing" when lid is closed on xfce settings
[16:12] <ggz> or maybe i don't remember well, anyway i also modified the option in /etc/systemd/logind.conf but this has no effect
[16:13] <pleia2> what method are you using to connect the laptop to the monitor? It behaves as I'd expect (sleep when not plugged in, just turn off screen when plugged in to screen) when I'm connected over hdmi
[16:13] <ggz> hdmi
[16:14] <pleia2> hm, unfortunately I don't have laptop system handy to check what my settings are
[16:14] <pleia2> and I need to head out for a bit anyway, sorry!
[16:16] <ggz> also when i unplug my external monitor, both external and internal screen are shut off (the only thing i can do is go to system console and kill X from there). When i plug it back, only the external is turned on
[16:16] <ggz> no problem, bye
[16:17] <ggz> since you have no problem, i guess i'm unlucky and found a hidden bug
[16:49] <ggz> lol i tried with unity, and the display setting is high on drugs, both screen goes on and off randomly when trying to changes things
[16:49] <ggz> finally i am happy with the display settings of xfce :p
[17:08] <griphook> Hi everybody
[18:57] <ggz> hi, fwiw my screen problems was my fault, i was still on the old kernel, now everything work as 16.04
[18:58] <mauQc> When a user attaches a USB key, how do I make Thunar automount the USB with read and write permissions for that user (non-root)? Presently, it is automounting as read only. Basically, I need users to be able to plug-in their USB key and “drag and drop” files from a local folder into their USB key. The user's USB key is not necessarily always the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
[19:02] <diogenes_> mauQc, by default they are mounted as read write
[19:06] <mauQc> for some reason that is not the case right now. In thunar, I can right click, select send to 'USB key' but I cannot drag and drop files to it.
[19:06] <diogenes_> mauQc, killall thunar and start thunar again
[19:09] <mauQc> I killed everything including the deamon and nothing changed
[19:10] <diogenes_> mauQc, then try: rm -r ~/.config/Thunar
[19:17] <mauQc> Nothing. When I see the items inside my USB key they all have a lock item on them.
[19:19] <diogenes_> mauQc, then try to re-format the usb
[19:50] <mauQc> I don't think it's the usb because I've tried 3 different ones. Could it be a NTFS vs FAT problem? This is what mount returns: /dev/sdc1 on /media/test1/Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS amd64 type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nojoliet,check=s,map=n,blocksize=2048,uid=1002,gid=1002,dmode=500,fmode=400,uhelper=udisks2)
