[04:19] <bumpadump> hello! i have a thinkpad x120e here that I installed xubuntu on, and it has an issue where the X server fails to start up after waking from sleep. when you open the lid, there is just a black screen. if you hit ctrl+alt+f2, you can get to a terminal, but running startx there fails, "server terminated successfully"
[04:19] <bumpadump> if anyone has expertise to help on diagnosing the X startup issue, that would be amazing. I already looked at the log specified in the startx output, and there's no obvious error messages there
[04:19] <bumpadump> (I was pointed here from the ubuntu channel :))
[04:22] <bumpadump> some other interesting things about this issue: I believe it only happens when you go to sleep via closing the lid, not when you click "Suspend" in the menu. And, in all cases, the login screen comes up fine. its only when you enter the login info and hit enter that you get a black screen
[04:24] <well_laid_lawn> closing the lid might hibernate not suspend
[04:24] <well_laid_lawn> something to check
[04:24] <bumpadump> well_laid_lawn: its a great suggestion. i checked the power settings and both are set to suspend
[04:25] <bumpadump> :(
[04:25] <well_laid_lawn> check what systemd does on lid close
[04:25] <well_laid_lawn> not xfce
[04:26] <bumpadump> sweet, do you know where i should look for those logs?
[04:26] <bumpadump> (or settings)
[04:30] <well_laid_lawn> try having a look through /etc/systemd/*
[04:31] <bumpadump> looked in the locations specified by systemd man page, i don't see any sleep.conf type files there on my system (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-sleep.conf.html)
[04:32] <bumpadump> find /etc/systemd -name "*sleep*" also gives no results
[04:34] <well_laid_lawn> try   grep -i hibernate /etc/systemd
[04:34] <well_laid_lawn> try   grep -ir hibernate /etc/systemd
[04:37] <bumpadump> only two commented out lines in logind.conf
[04:37] <bumpadump> I found the HandleLidSwitch line in there and tried setting it to ignore. Confirmed that indeed causes nothing to happen when closing the lid
[04:38] <bumpadump> so that logind.conf is being put into effect. But I don't see anything suspicious in there. everything was commented out
[04:39] <bumpadump> and according to this page the default action for HandleLidSwitch is "suspend"
[04:39] <bumpadump> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management#Power_management_with_systemd
[04:40] <well_laid_lawn> iirc there are systemd file in /lib or similar which will have an effect, but if setting it to ignore helps things should be better
[04:41] <bumpadump> well_laid_lawn: well, setting it to ignore means the system does not go to sleep when the lid is closed, which means that the battery will always die
[04:44] <bumpadump> is it correct to say that running startx as the regular user should indeed successfully startup the GUI?
[04:46] <well_laid_lawn> you'd probably have to stop the dm running
[04:53] <bumpadump> im basically experiencing this
[04:53] <bumpadump> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1303736
[04:53] <bumpadump> but that was so long ago
[04:56] <well_laid_lawn> did you check the last comments on that bug ?
[04:57] <bumpadump> oh shoot, i was still scrolling down
[04:57] <bumpadump> so it does appear to still be an issue, at least as of last yera
[04:57] <bumpadump> year*
[04:58] <well_laid_lawn> and there seems to be things to do to work around it
[12:17] <arpad2> hi, I have problems with low display resolution
[14:24] <SeTunTun> hello i am getting error everytime i try to scan devices in the bluetooth applet of xubuntu 18.04.
[14:25] <SeTunTun> If i run blueman-manager in the terminal and them i try to scan this is the error i get
[14:25] <SeTunTun> https://pastebin.com/9CUGvi5r
[14:26] <SeTunTun> by the way i've been only able to pair my phone i can't even see other devices.
[14:32] <brainwash> SeTunTun: did you install TLP?
[14:33] <SeTunTun> brainwash, yes, i did
[14:33] <brainwash> could be this then https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blueman/+bug/1765860/comments/3
[14:39] <SeTunTun> brainwash, ubottu thanks, i'll try this workaround.
[14:48] <SeTunTun> by the way i followed a tutorial to acess the files on my phone via bluetooth. It worked more or less but i can only unmount the device in thunar only as root.
[14:48] <SeTunTun> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Blueman
[14:49] <SeTunTun> the point 2.3 "mounting bluetooth devices". Do you have any idea how to unmount the device as a normal user?
[14:55] <brainwash> SeTunTun: maybe don't use thunar to unmount it
[14:56] <SeTunTun> brainwash, do you recommend me the terminal?
[14:57] <brainwash> indeed
[14:57] <brainwash> try "fusermount -u ~/Bluetooth"
[14:58] <SeTunTun> I'll try :)
[15:01] <SeTunTun> brainwash, i noticed thatit is what i've been using in the tutorial
[15:02] <brainwash> does the command work?
[15:02] <brainwash> -u means unmount
[15:04] <SeTunTun> yeh! it works!
[15:05] <SeTunTun> i must find a way to make this command in thunar
[15:14] <brainwash> SeTunTun: via a custom action?
[15:14] <brainwash> https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions
[15:36] <SeTunTun> brainwash, it is not exactly what i had in mind but well..it works :)
[15:36] <SeTunTun> thanks a lot, you are great!
