| saptech | hello all | 04:42 |
|---|---|---|
| wxl | \o | 04:43 |
| saptech | after updating to 18.10, when I boot I'm taking to this virtual keyboard screen instead of the login screen | 04:43 |
| wxl | is lightdm running? | 04:43 |
| saptech | how can I remove the virtual keyboard screen? | 04:43 |
| saptech | yes lightdm | 04:44 |
| wxl | well there's your problem | 04:44 |
| wxl | 18.10 uses sddm | 04:44 |
| wxl | you have holdovers from 18.04 which creates all sorts of ridiculous issues | 04:44 |
| saptech | hmmm | 04:44 |
| saptech | will it be okay to use lxdm? I've had problems with sddm before | 04:45 |
| wxl | we haven't tested it so you're welcome to try it out | 04:45 |
| wxl | have you had problems with THIS version of sddm? if not, i'd try it before deciding it's not going to work | 04:45 |
| saptech | issues with sddm and another distro running plasma5 | 04:46 |
| wxl | that's pretty much unrelated, it sounds like | 04:47 |
| saptech | I'll see | 04:48 |
| wxl | you should see this | 04:48 |
| wxl | ESPECIALLY the very end | 04:48 |
| wxl | https://manual.lubuntu.me/D/upgrading.html | 04:48 |
| wxl | it tells you what you should get rid of to not have a total frankenstein system | 04:48 |
| saptech | that's the info I used to upgrade | 04:49 |
| wxl | but you didn't do the very end which suggests to remove packages, lightdm included | 04:49 |
| saptech | I removed most all of it. I left lightdm because I didn't want to use sddm | 04:50 |
| wxl | well if you don't follow the instructions you're on your own XD | 04:51 |
| saptech | I do not remember seeing the virtual keyboard with 18.04 | 04:51 |
| wxl | well you could go and tweak the lightdm settings so that there's no virtual keyboard | 04:51 |
| saptech | but I only used lubuntu for a few months before the upgrade to 18.10 | 04:51 |
| wxl | you probably have a "keyboard" line in there somewhere | 04:52 |
| saptech | ok | 04:53 |
| saptech | thanks for the info | 04:53 |
| wxl | np | 04:54 |
| saptech | this was my first time trying lubuntu, but became a little disappointed when it was upgrading with lxqt instead of lxde | 04:55 |
| saptech | I understand why you doing it | 04:55 |
| saptech | bad experiences with lxqt | 04:56 |
| saptech | but I'm always willing to give a distro a try | 04:56 |
| wxl | yeah well lxde has slowed to a crawl. one of its most major developers left it for lxqt (pcman himself). they STILL aren't ready for gtk3, not to mention upcoming gtk4. it's a necessity | 04:57 |
| wxl | lxqt is under heavy development. if there's something lacking in it, i'm sure you'll find a quick resolution | 04:57 |
| saptech | interesting | 04:59 |
| wxl | it's hard to get *translations* into lxde | 04:59 |
| saptech | I'm going to stick with it and see how it work for me | 04:59 |
| wxl | if you have problems, file a bug report! we'll work to get it fixed | 05:00 |
| saptech | ok, good to know | 05:00 |
| saptech | I'll give sddm a try, since this experience with lxqt is going great with me | 05:01 |
| wxl | good to hear | 05:02 |
| saptech | wxl, it we're not using xfburn, what are they using in place of it? | 05:06 |
| wxl | everytime someone asks me this i have to go look it up because i never burn cds XD | 05:06 |
| saptech | lol....I do not see a substitute for it | 05:07 |
| saptech | xfburn is a great burner | 05:07 |
| saptech | I think people are burning dvd moreso now days | 05:07 |
| wxl | yeah i don't even bother with those | 05:08 |
| wxl | k3b | 05:09 |
| saptech | hmmm | 05:10 |
| saptech | will k3b pull in a bunch of kde/plasma depends? | 05:13 |
| wxl | it's included in lxqt.. so assumedly you already have it | 05:13 |
| wxl | but kde has pretty much modularized all their stuff so there's nothing (except for plasma and pieces related to it) that pull in a whole ton of dependencies | 05:14 |
| saptech | ok | 05:14 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | xfburn + | 05:19 |
| saptech | :) | 05:20 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | and k3b + too | 05:20 |
| saptech | yes | 05:20 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | different case | 05:20 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | xfburn quick burn image | 05:21 |
| saptech | how well does lxqt apps work with standalone openbox? | 05:22 |
| wxl | should work fine, but we don't actually include it in our tests | 05:22 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | not lxde(qt) but very nice https://commit-digest.org/issues/2006-12-10/files/sensorload14.png | 05:24 |
| JohnDoe_71Rus | better lxtask | 05:26 |
| saptech | I normally use the default DE for the family but usually run openbox for myself, and I use the Switch User feature alot. Some distros gave me problems switching users running sddm & lightdm | 05:28 |
| saptech | I have Mageia as my main OS, Voidlinux, Devuan & now Lubuntu | 05:29 |
| saptech | that is one reason I stuck with Lxdm for display manager | 05:29 |
| wxl | i'm not sure lxdm is even very well maintained | 05:34 |
| saptech | I'm going to try sddm...I need to try it now | 05:35 |
