| GregMcGregor | Hi, I need some getting tumbler to use a custom thumbnailer | 03:50 |
|---|---|---|
| GregMcGregor | I am trying to see heif (.heic) image thumbnails in thunar, and I have the appropriate thumbnailer (heif-thumbnailer) installed | 03:51 |
| GregMcGregor | however, instead of thumbnails I just see black boxes | 03:51 |
| GregMcGregor | the mime type image/heif exists in my system and installing heif-thumbnailer also places the appropriate .thumbnailer file in /usr/share/thumbnailers | 03:52 |
| GregMcGregor | and I can see that tumblerd is running | 03:52 |
| GregMcGregor | (plus it works fine for jpegs) | 03:52 |
| GregMcGregor | this is on xubuntu 16.04, by the way | 03:55 |
| GregMcGregor | don't tell me nobody's here just because it is a Saturday night =P | 03:56 |
| GregMcGregor | and lastly I have verified that heif-thumbnailer is working properly by running it manually | 03:57 |
| amanda_ | I wrote a shell script -- sshfs remote-server/directory local-mount-point/ and it works fine in a terminal, but not as a launcher. THe other launcher I made, that runs fusermount -u local-mount-point seems to work fine. | 04:17 |
| amanda_ | THe first, I checked the "run in terminal" box and get prompted for a password in a terminal. Nothing seem weird, except that it doesn't work. Any ideas? | 04:17 |
| syb0rg | hi, I was GregMcGregor a minute ago. My thumnail question still stands | 04:26 |
| amanda_ | syb0rg, I missed it -- what was the question? | 04:27 |
| syb0rg | I am trying to make thunar show thumbnails for .heic (image/heif) files by using heif-thumbnailer. It is installed and working and the appropriate .thumbnail file exists in /usr/share/thumbnailers but my .HEIC files are still just black boxes in thunar | 04:28 |
| syb0rg | ^ amanda_ | 04:28 |
| syb0rg | or .thumbnailer file rather | 04:28 |
| syb0rg | as to your sshfs question, I may be wrong here but I seem to recall once running into a situation like that and solving it by running sshfs in the background | 04:30 |
| syb0rg | otherwise it died when the terminal closed | 04:30 |
| syb0rg | could be totally off base though, going off a fuzzy memory here | 04:30 |
| syb0rg | I used nohup if I remember correctly | 04:31 |
| amanda_ | And I've got nothing on your heic question... Weird about the nohup though, I'll dork with it. | 04:32 |
| syb0rg | yeah it is an obscure question unfortunately, apple just had to go and use a weird image format =P Good luck with your sshfs issue | 04:33 |
| amanda_ | No, Apple? You're silly. :) | 04:33 |

| brainwash | syb0rg: did you follow this example? https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tumbler#customized_thumbnailer_for_dds_files | 10:17 |
| brainwash | syb0rg: oh.. just saw that you are using 16.04 | 10:18 |
| brainwash | you need 18.04 (tumbler 0.2.x) | 10:19 |
| syb0rg | thanks brainwash, thought it might be the version of tumbler but didn't know how to check. Any way to get a more updated version on 16.04? Will a newer version work on 16.04 if compiled from source after removing the tumbler package with apt? | 10:23 |
| brainwash | maybe | 10:25 |
| brainwash | personally, I would try to install the packages from 18.04 first | 10:26 |
| brainwash | can be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tumbler/0.2.1-0ubuntu1/+build/14520623 | 10:26 |
| brainwash | -> Built files | 10:26 |
| brainwash | it may or may not install without problems | 10:27 |
| syb0rg | ok that is very helpful, I will give that a shot tomorrow. Appreciate the tip! | 10:27 |
| brainwash | other than that, you should consider upgrading to 18.04 | 10:29 |
| syb0rg | yeah I use 18.04 on most of my machines, but this is a media machine I set up a couple years ago and generally does fine on 16.04. Then again it will need an upgrade eventually so i just might | 10:32 |
| xubuntu11d | Hi, since Xub18.10 my screen remains black after shutdown. The screen is locked and i need to type my password but in a black screen without any feedback in case of errorr. It happens to me on 4 laptotps of diferend brands. Any idea? | 15:13 |
| brainwash | xubuntu11d: after shutdown? | 15:13 |
| xubuntu11d | after suspension sorry :_) | 15:14 |
| brainwash | that's bug 1801609 | 15:14 |
| ubottu | bug 1801609 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Fails to deactivate dpms off mode after user initiated wake-up events(not system-suspended, just locked and dpms active)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1801609 | 15:14 |
| brainwash | most likely Intel related | 15:14 |
| brainwash | do all your laptops use some Intel GPU? | 15:15 |
| xubuntu11d | hummm | 15:15 |
| xubuntu11d | probably | 15:15 |
| xubuntu11d | i need to check | 15:15 |
| xubuntu11d | thank you @brainwash and @ubottu, I'm going to investigate more. | 15:16 |
| brainwash | the linked bug report has some info, but nothing has been forwarded to the Xorg or Intel developers yet | 15:17 |
| brainwash | as workaround you can install and use another screen locker | 15:18 |
| brainwash | like xscreensaver | 15:18 |
| newtolinux | hey | 17:43 |
