[00:13] <guiverc> praying_mantis, if you `file iwlwifi-..` you'll get more info on what is in the file, which I'd hope would provide a clue.  Next I'd hope intel website had some instructions
[06:35] <lubot> <The_LoudSpeaker> @venik212 [<venik212> Loud-- it must be your BIOS settings.  Are you booting on legacy or U …], Tried everything, every possible setting. Mbr only. Doesn't have an option for uefi. I played with that system for around 2 months last summer and then finally gave up.

[15:50] <venik212> If anyone is interested-- I solved my problem with changing keyboard layouts in Lubuntu 18.10.  The problem seems to have been interference from Ibus and other input method changing apps.  When I purge my system of all of them (Ibus, Fcitx), the built-in facility (in keyboard/layouts) worked as advertised.
[15:51] <venik212> to be fair-- there is a note in the keyboard layout dialog warning of a possible interference from Ibus etc.  I  missed it initially... ;-(

[17:11] <venik212> anyone knows how to keep the OnBoard virtual keyboard from reverting to its default size after I make it larger?  It stays the size I want for a few seconds, and then becomes small again and returns to the upper left corner.  Lubuntu 18.10 fresh install, LXQt
[17:17] <lynorian> venik212:  I really don't know how it is doing that it stays the same size for me I wish I could but I don't know why it is doing that
[17:17] <lynorian> Do you have auto show enabled?
[17:17] <venik212> it USED to work on previous versions, before the LXQt change...  Are you using 18.10?
[17:19] <lynorian> yes  it still does for me but we may not have gnome accessbility stuff for autohide to work
[17:20] <venik212> I just tried it, but enabling autoshow did not solve it
[17:20] <venik212> I feel that the LXQT was a step back in stability.. ;-(
[17:21] <venik212> I had troubles with things that worked in the pas
[17:22] <venik212> past
[17:22] <venik212> Is there something you need to do to freeze the size at the size you want, or just let go of the corner?
[17:23] <lynorian> I actually asked if you had autoshow enabled and wondered if disabling would solve it
[17:24] <venik212> I tried both ways-- no dice
[17:53] <venik212> how do you change the size on your computer?  I long press the cross key, and pull on the corner
[17:54] <lynorian> I just pull on the corner with the mouse
[17:54] <venik212> It also jumps back to its place in the uppt of thereer left corner if I move it ou
[17:54] <venik212> out of there
[17:58] <venik212> I guess I have to give up-- maybe go back to gnome..
[18:04] <venik212> or LXDE, both of which seem more stable and bug free (relatively)
