| DarkTrick | EviLEd, you CAN set a custom format | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| DarkTrick | oh, where do you want to change the time format? on what display? | 00:29 |
| EviLEd | i only have 1 display | 00:33 |
| EviLEd | i want to change it from the command line | 00:33 |
| EviLEd | i have a custom format set now. but after a fresh install i want to set it via command line | 00:34 |
| EviLEd | bbl | 00:36 |
| EviLEd | maybe the easier question is changing the date from the command line. so it looks likie Month Day, Time (AM/PM). | 00:39 |
| EviLEd | like date -s "string" | 00:40 |
| DarkTrick | where is the date/ time displayed? | 00:41 |
| DarkTrick | inside the command line? | 00:41 |
| DarkTrick | or are we talking about the clock inside the tasklist? | 00:41 |
| DarkTrick | aka Panel | 00:41 |
| DarkTrick | [ | 01:05 |
| DarkTrick | @EviLed ^ | 01:05 |

| friendlyGoat | howdy! | 07:11 |
| friendlyGoat | i have a question that i cant seem to find an answer to anywhere else and was hoping i could find help here | 07:11 |
| friendlyGoat | im trying to find out how to set an animated gif as my screensaver? i have xscreensaver if thats any help | 07:11 |
| well_laid_lawn | you have to have a screensaver app that supports that | 07:14 |
| friendlyGoat | do you have any off hand? | 07:15 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't use any screensavers but I'll have a web search :) | 07:17 |
| friendlyGoat | alright thanks! | 07:17 |
| diogenes_ | friendlyGoat, theoretically you could do it with xwinwrap and gifsicle but it would need a good dose of trickery | 07:20 |
| well_laid_lawn | have a look at man screensaver | 07:21 |
| friendlyGoat | whats man screensaver? | 07:24 |
| friendlyGoat | also i'll look into xwinwrap | 07:24 |
| well_laid_lawn | in a terminal type man xscreensaver and have a read. It shows having a gif running can happen but it isn't easy | 07:28 |

| xubuntu57w | Hello World! Could someone check please how much space left after installing Xubuntu 18.04? | 17:00 |
| gnrp | xubuntu57w: The amount of space left depends on your partition size ;) | 17:02 |
| xubuntu57w | I did upgrade from 14.04 and it took 21.5 GB. It's too much in my opinion. Before upgrade it was 12 GB. | 17:03 |
| gnrp | you find the space requirements here: https://xubuntu.org/requirements/ | 17:03 |
| gnrp | did you auto-remove packages already? | 17:03 |
| xubuntu57w | One sec let me check. | 17:03 |
| gnrp | `sudo apt-get auto-remove` on the terminal | 17:03 |
| gnrp | and then, when you already used the system before, I guess you very likely have some software installed which takes up space? | 17:04 |
| xubuntu57w | Yes with auto-remove. | 17:05 |
| xubuntu57w | 12.77 GB was before upgrade and 19,2 GB right now - after upgrade. | 17:07 |
| xubuntu57w | Where is 6,43 GB? | 17:07 |
| gnrp | Some packages simply grow bigger over time. | 17:08 |
| gnrp | but you can try this: `dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nk1 | less` | 17:08 |
| gnrp | (from here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599424) | 17:08 |
| gnrp | this will show you which packages take up how much space | 17:08 |
| gnrp | .oO(omg, I have like 8GB of cuda stuff installed) | 17:09 |
| gnrp | oh, and did you check if there are maybe old kernels left? I had this bug sometimes with 14.04 systems | 17:12 |
| xubuntu57w | Will check kernels now. | 17:12 |
| xubuntu57w | No only two one in use and one as backup. | 17:13 |
| xubuntu57w | Maybe 6,43 GB is fine then. | 17:14 |
| gnrp | did you check what the big packages are? | 17:14 |
| xubuntu57w | This: `dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nk1 | less` is not showning sizes, | 17:15 |
| xubuntu57w | Only list of all packages. | 17:15 |
| SeTunTun | hello, I installed xubuntu 18.04. Everytime I boot bluetooth is on. Is there any way to boot up with the bluetooth adaptor off? | 20:42 |
| Spass | hello SeTunTun, I would try changing to AutoEnable=false in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf | 21:01 |
| Spass | but maybe someone has another easy solution | 21:01 |
| SeTunTun | Spass, viel Spaß! | 21:05 |
| SeTunTun | I tried your solution but nothing happened after rebooting :( | 21:06 |
| Spass | hmm, so maybe "sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service" | 21:14 |
| Spass | and to enable it again - "sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service" | 21:14 |
| Spass | since systemd rules all now :) | 21:16 |
| duskull | Hello everyone! | 21:31 |
| duskull | After upgrading my kernel and xorg (to the Ubuntu 18.04.2 ones) my touchpad does not register tabs like before, left/right buttons still work | 21:34 |
| duskull | No option to enable touchpad tabbing in the xfce4-settings | 21:35 |
| SeTunTun | thanks Spass I'll wait for the moment | 22:01 |
| gnrp | duskull: What do you mean with tabs? | 22:26 |
| gnrp | I mean, what is tabbing? | 22:26 |
| gnrp | duskull: In general, use the tool `synclient`. That is very powerful and does almost everything you want for the touchpad | 22:26 |
| gnrp | SeTunTun: Try using `rfkill` | 22:27 |
| gnrp | when you do `rfkill list`, you can see the devices. You can block then the specific device (e.g., use in general `rfkill block bluetooth` and put it in your autostart stuff | 22:27 |
| duskull | gnrp: I messed up a bit... | 22:33 |
| duskull | I installed the synaptics driver using apt but that removed a lot of other stuff | 22:34 |
| duskull | Now I can't use my keyboard at the login screen | 22:34 |
| gnrp | can you at least switch back to the console with ctrl+alt+F1? | 22:36 |
| gnrp | although I wonder how you manage to deinstlal keyboard stuff. Oo | 22:36 |
| duskull | I'm a recovery root console now | 22:36 |
| duskull | And I finally have wifi on that | 22:37 |
| duskull | No broken packages | 22:37 |
| duskull | What do you seggest to install now? | 22:37 |
| gnrp | I have no clue what happened | 22:38 |
| gnrp | but look to /var/log/dpkg.log. There you find what has happened | 22:38 |
| duskull | Okay thanks | 22:38 |
| duskull | Everything fixed! I installed xserver-xorg-input-all, both touchpad and keyboard are working now. | 22:41 |
| gnrp | and now use synclient to do whatever you want. I still don't know what you mean by tabbing | 22:43 |
| duskull | I mean just tab on the touchpad and register a left click, not to use the buttons below it for left/right click | 22:43 |
| duskull | There is an option for that in the xfce4-setting under mouse and touchpad, it is called "tab touchpad to click" | 22:45 |
| brainwash | duskull: tap not tab | 23:01 |
| duskull | Oh sorry, my bad | 23:01 |
| brainwash | you may need to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 23:03 |
| brainwash | and remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput | 23:03 |
| brainwash | in case it's still not working 100% | 23:03 |
