[03:50] <GregMcGregor> Hi, I need some getting tumbler to use a custom thumbnailer
[03:51] <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
[03:52] <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)
[03:55] <GregMcGregor> this is on xubuntu 16.04, by the way
[03:56] <GregMcGregor> don't tell me nobody's here just because it is a Saturday night =P
[03:57] <GregMcGregor> and lastly I have verified that heif-thumbnailer is working properly by running it manually
[04:17] <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?
[04:26] <syb0rg> hi, I was GregMcGregor a minute ago. My thumnail question still stands
[04:27] <amanda_> syb0rg, I missed it -- what was the question?
[04:28] <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
[04:30] <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
[04:31] <syb0rg> I used nohup if I remember correctly
[04:32] <amanda_> And I've got nothing on your heic question... Weird about the nohup though, I'll dork with it.
[04:33] <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. :)
[10:17] <brainwash> syb0rg: did you follow this example? https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/tumbler#customized_thumbnailer_for_dds_files
[10:18] <brainwash> syb0rg: oh.. just saw that you are using 16.04
[10:19] <brainwash> you need 18.04 (tumbler 0.2.x)
[10:23] <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?
[10:25] <brainwash> maybe
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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!
[10:29] <brainwash> other than that, you should consider upgrading to 18.04
[10:32] <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
[15:13] <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?
[15:14] <xubuntu11d> after suspension sorry :_)
[15:14] <brainwash> that's bug 1801609
[15:14] <brainwash> most likely Intel related
[15:15] <brainwash> do all your laptops use some Intel GPU?
[15:15] <xubuntu11d> hummm
[15:15] <xubuntu11d> probably
[15:15] <xubuntu11d> i need to check
[15:16] <xubuntu11d> thank you @brainwash and @ubottu, I'm going to investigate more.
[15:17] <brainwash> the linked bug report has some info, but nothing has been forwarded to the Xorg or Intel developers yet
[15:18] <brainwash> as workaround you can install and use another screen locker
[15:18] <brainwash> like xscreensaver
[17:43] <newtolinux> hey
[17:43] <newtolinux> anybody here?
