It looks like there is a lot more themeing work that needs to be done. | 15:06 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> @Wafficus I did a poll of soem distro hoppers, to find out what some people like to see then the Welcome application. I', also workign on a mockup. Here is what was said: | 15:08 |
| lubot | <Wafficus> @tsimonq2 hey Simon did you look at my qt code regarding cmake? | 15:08 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> [User Manual] ... [Videos] ... [Wiki] ... [Community/Forum] ... [Control Center] ... [Support the Distro/Contribute] ... Checkbox to not show again. ... new features... Lubuntu specific apps.. how to launch applications... how to download new apps.... and anything to clear up the confusing myriad of Lubuntu setting/configurati | 15:09 |
| lubot | on options ... @TheWendyPower I've always liked a larger version of the logo in the center of the app and then the button links on the sides. ... "I feel like the experience should be intuitive enough not to require a welcome screen. ... Quick links to system configs and preferences, browser choice, software selection/store, and an intro/quick FAQ | 15:09 |
| lubot | and what's new. Mostly things that stay *in* the local environment. When you start bringing in things that require external sources as a visual experience (such as web pages), you potentially taint the experience based on the connectivity at the time or server issues, etc. But the welcome screen opening more apps to do what the welcome screen shoul | 15:09 |
| lubot | d do is not ideal. So opening a browser is a no-no. If it can't be done in the app, it shouldn't be part of it." | 15:09 |
| lubot | <tsimonq2> @Wafficus [@tsimonq2 hey Simon did you look at my qt code regarding cmake?], I haven't quite yet, sorry. Link? | 15:12 |

Apparently for papirus icon, since they are monochrme, the combintaion of dark panel (taskbar) and light windows doesn't work well. The exception is the nm-tray icon, still don't know why. | 15:18 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> @HMollerCl [@lbssousa yes, pcmafm-qt for instance. Apparently for papirus icon, since they a …], Right now I'm not using the Papirius Icons nore the default theme. The only issue I'm having, with the changes I made (using the default LXQt theme), is how things look in the search. I don't have the issue with other LXQt themes | 15:22 |
| lubot | . So that code needs to be dug through as well. | 15:22 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> (Document) https://telegram.lubuntu.me/uK0AY7dm/file_4463.png | 15:23 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> There is my issue ^ | 15:23 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @TheWendyPower [There is my issue ^], wow!! Never noticed that. That might be because of the "breeze dark quirk" | 15:25 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> I'm not using breeze anymore. I'm sing the GTK2 theme as my widget theme. The Lubuntu Arc LXQt theme is the only one doign this. | 15:27 |

I was not having that issue when everything was the default themes, with the search anyway. I launch almost all applications by using the super key + tying the name of the application. I've also noticed, if there is more | 15:34 |
| lubot | than one application that comes up in the search, I have to hit the arrow 3 times before I get the highlighted application to change. | 15:34 |
| lubot | <TheWendyPower> @tsimonq2 [I can repro], So something we must get tracked down! | 15:34 |

| lubot | <TheWendyPower> @tsimonq2 ya, I'll have to dig into that one and find where the issue is. | 15:43 |

| mpmc_znc | Well, the installer doesn't seem to want to auto partition, only manual. | 20:30 |
| wxl | that's probably because you have something mounted | 20:30 |
| wxl | among other things: swap from an old install. unfortunately all the ubuntu images automount them | 20:31 |
| wxl | so figure out what's mounted and unmuont it (swapoff for the swaps) | 20:31 |
| mpmc_znc | wxl: it's EFI causing issues. | 20:32 |
| wxl | ? | 20:32 |
| mpmc_znc | refuses to install without an efi partition. | 20:32 |
| wxl | well i mean if you have efi, it wants to have an efi partition, yes. | 20:33 |
| wxl | boot in legacy mode if you don't | 20:33 |
| wxl | because otherwise efi won't boot it anyways | 20:33 |
| mpmc_znc | Wouldn't it make sense to disable EFI in the installer in that case. | 20:39 |
| wxl | if you booot in legacy mode, it won't give you the efi options unless you manually do it | 20:40 |
| mpmc_znc | wxl: I changed the bios to always use legacy mode. | 20:41 |
| wxl | then it shouldn't show you any efi stuff now | 20:41 |
| wxl | (unless you manually do it) | 20:42 |
| mpmc_znc | It doesn't. | 20:42 |
| wxl | i'd say for most people giving them the option to set up partitioning for a firmware interface that they're not currently using is assuming a little too much. so it tries to be smart and goes with what you're using (while allowing people who do know what they are doing to do whatever they want) | 20:43 |
| mpmc_znc | The installer actually tells you how to resolve the problem, but new users shouldn't have to worry about things like that. | 20:44 |
| wxl | the issue is only because you have things mounted | 20:45 |
| wxl | if you didn't have things mounted, then you'd just have the "entire disk" option | 20:45 |
| wxl | there are bugs filed to make that a little bit more obvious/easier to resolve | 20:46 |
| mpmc_znc | I'm using the "live" installer via usb. | 20:46 |
| wxl | and you likely had a previous install | 20:47 |
| wxl | and that install likely had swaps on it | 20:47 |
| wxl | which the ubuntu images automatically mount | 20:47 |
| wxl | and the installer won't give you the automount options if anything is mounted | 20:47 |
| mpmc_znc | Looks like it's stuck on "create locale". | 20:52 |
| mpmc_znc | Oh there we go. | 20:52 |
| wxl | patience is a virtue | 20:52 |
| mpmc_znc | It was there for a loooong time :p | 20:52 |
| wxl | yep | 20:53 |
| wxl | it sure does | 20:53 |
| === mpmc_znc is now known as mpmc | ||
| wxl | and there's no way to optimize it to use multiple cores | 20:53 |
| wxl | there's a bug out for that too | 20:53 |
| mpmc | Well, it installed, still doesn't boot. | 20:56 |
| wxl | did you manually partition or auto partition? | 20:57 |
| mpmc | Auto. | 20:57 |
| mpmc | I have ubuntu, windows boot manager, cd, hdd, and lan. | 20:58 |
| wxl | and you did it with bios booted.. and you're using bios to boot now, right? | 20:58 |
| mpmc | Yes, it's still on legacy. | 20:58 |
| wxl | did you check the hashes of the image? | 20:59 |
| mpmc | yes. | 20:59 |
| wxl | and what happens when you boot it? | 20:59 |
| mpmc | I get the live envio from usb, but installed on the hard drive I get the thinkpads app menu screen. | 21:00 |
| wxl | the thinkpad's app menu screen? what is that? | 21:01 |
| mpmc | wxl: looks like this.. https://forums.techguy.org/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi41.tinypic.com%2Ff2rzr.jpg&hash=2b50ea33a69501a13f15d85c27ffb1fb | 21:02 |
| wxl | and then if you boot from the disc? | 21:02 |
| mpmc | It just loops back to the app menu | 21:02 |
| wxl | huh. not sure what to say. if the installation suceeded and if every condition you say is true, it should just work. | 21:03 |
| wxl | maybe there's some other boot parameter you have to select. i don't know. | 21:04 |
| wxl | did you use encryption? | 21:04 |
| mpmc | Nope. | 21:04 |
| wxl | i guess it's possible the installer failed to install everything correctly. seems unlikely, but possible. you could always do it over again. | 21:05 |
| wxl | why not use efi? | 21:05 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> grub problem? | 21:05 |
| wxl | i see you say you have windows boot manager. i'm not sure how that gets implicated. | 21:05 |
| wxl | grub problems should result in a dump to grub recovery prompt | 21:06 |
| mpmc | Could be because I used rufus in dd mode on windows to flash the iso. | 21:07 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> I mean, something repairable with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:07 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> Onec I installed along windows 10 and after installation I had to use boot repair | 21:07 |
| mpmc | I don't have windows on it :p | 21:07 |
| wxl | you do have a "windows boot manager" you said | 21:08 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> But you have windows boot manager? | 21:08 |
| mpmc | Yeah, thats what I can't understand lol | 21:08 |
| wxl | um | 21:08 |
| mpmc | The only thing on here is Linux. | 21:09 |
| wxl | then why do you think you have a windows boot manager? | 21:09 |
| mpmc | It's always shown wbm. | 21:09 |
| wxl | where? | 21:09 |
| mpmc | in the boot menu. | 21:09 |
| wxl | right | 21:09 |
| wxl | so you might have some weird firmware interface stuff going on | 21:09 |
| wxl | just go back to using efi and redo the install. it's a safer bet. | 21:10 |
| mpmc | wxl: Yeah, looks that way, I've killed the partitions completely, yet the boot "application menu" still shows both "ubuntu" and wbm. | 21:12 |
| mpmc | must be an efi thing. | 21:12 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> consider also using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair if a new install doesn't work | 21:15 |
| mpmc | What the hell, I delete all partitions and create just create a blank ms-dos one.. I've now got the option to erase disc with EFI setup automatically done. LOL | 21:20 |
| mpmc | ms-dos one = blank partition table | 21:21 |
| wxl | because at that point, you have nothing mounted | 21:21 |
| mpmc | I didn't mount anything before lol | 21:21 |
| wxl | did you not hear me tell you things get automounted? | 21:21 |
| wxl | i said it about 5 times.. | 21:21 |
| mpmc | I checked, nothing was automounted :) | 21:22 |
| wxl | you checked your swaps? | 21:22 |
| mpmc | yes :) | 21:22 |
| wxl | then i'm not sure what to tell you, but i've never found a case where that occurs unless something is mounted somewhere | 21:23 |
| wxl | whether or not it's done by user intervention | 21:23 |
| mpmc | only thing that should be mounted was the live usb drive, but that's mounted now, and I have these options lol | 21:23 |
| * mpmc shrugs. Thinkpads, weird beasts. | 21:24 | |
