[00:28] <DarkTrick> EviLEd, you CAN set a custom format
[00:29] <DarkTrick> oh, where do you want to change the time format? on what display?
[00:33] <EviLEd> i only have 1 display
[00:33] <EviLEd> i want to change it from the command line
[00:34] <EviLEd> i have a custom format set now. but after a fresh install i want to set it via command line
[00:36] <EviLEd> bbl
[00:39] <EviLEd> maybe the easier question is changing the date from the command line.  so it looks likie Month Day, Time (AM/PM).
[00:40] <EviLEd> like date -s "string"
[00:41] <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
[01:05] <DarkTrick> [
[01:05] <DarkTrick> @EviLed ^
[01:40] <EviLEd> the clock in the taskbar. how do you set the date from the command line?
[07:11] <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
[07:14] <well_laid_lawn> you have to have a screensaver app that supports that
[07:15] <friendlyGoat> do you have any off hand?
[07:17] <well_laid_lawn> I don't use any screensavers but I'll have a web search :)
[07:17] <friendlyGoat> alright thanks!
[07:20] <diogenes_> friendlyGoat, theoretically you could do it with xwinwrap and gifsicle but it would need a good dose of trickery
[07:21] <well_laid_lawn> have a look at   man screensaver
[07:24] <friendlyGoat> whats man screensaver?
[07:24] <friendlyGoat> also i'll look into xwinwrap
[07:28] <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
[17:00] <xubuntu57w> Hello World! Could someone check please how much space left after installing Xubuntu 18.04?
[17:02] <gnrp> xubuntu57w: The amount of space left depends on your partition size ;)
[17:03] <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
[17:04] <gnrp> and then, when you already used the system before, I guess you very likely have some software installed which takes up space?
[17:05] <xubuntu57w> Yes with auto-remove.
[17:07] <xubuntu57w> 12.77 GB was before upgrade and 19,2 GB right now - after upgrade.
[17:07] <xubuntu57w> Where is 6,43 GB?
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <gnrp> .oO(omg, I have like 8GB of cuda stuff installed)
[17:12] <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.
[17:13] <xubuntu57w> No only two one in use and one as backup.
[17:14] <xubuntu57w> Maybe 6,43 GB is fine then.
[17:14] <gnrp> did you check what the big packages are?
[17:15] <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.
[20:42] <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?
[21:01] <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
[21:05] <SeTunTun> Spass, viel Spaß!
[21:06] <SeTunTun> I tried your solution but nothing happened after rebooting :(
[21:14] <Spass> hmm, so maybe "sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service"
[21:14] <Spass> and to enable it again - "sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service"
[21:16] <Spass> since systemd rules all now :)
[21:31] <duskull> Hello everyone!
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <duskull> No option to enable touchpad tabbing in the xfce4-settings
[22:01] <SeTunTun> thanks Spass I'll wait for the moment
[22:26] <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
[22:27] <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
[22:33] <duskull> gnrp: I messed up a bit...
[22:34] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <duskull> And I finally have wifi on that
[22:37] <duskull> No broken packages
[22:37] <duskull> What do you seggest to install now?
[22:38] <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
[22:41] <duskull> Everything fixed! I installed xserver-xorg-input-all, both touchpad and keyboard are working now.
[22:43] <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
[22:45] <duskull> There is an option for that in the xfce4-setting under mouse and touchpad, it is called "tab touchpad to click"
[23:01] <brainwash> duskull: tap not tab
[23:01] <duskull> Oh sorry, my bad
[23:03] <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%
