[00:28] EviLEd, you CAN set a custom format [00:29] oh, where do you want to change the time format? on what display? [00:33] i only have 1 display [00:33] i want to change it from the command line [00:34] i have a custom format set now. but after a fresh install i want to set it via command line [00:36] bbl [00:39] maybe the easier question is changing the date from the command line. so it looks likie Month Day, Time (AM/PM). [00:40] like date -s "string" [00:41] where is the date/ time displayed? [00:41] inside the command line? [00:41] or are we talking about the clock inside the tasklist? [00:41] aka Panel [01:05] [ [01:05] @EviLed ^ [01:40] the clock in the taskbar. how do you set the date from the command line? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [07:11] howdy! [07:11] 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] im trying to find out how to set an animated gif as my screensaver? i have xscreensaver if thats any help [07:14] you have to have a screensaver app that supports that [07:15] do you have any off hand? [07:17] I don't use any screensavers but I'll have a web search :) [07:17] alright thanks! [07:20] friendlyGoat, theoretically you could do it with xwinwrap and gifsicle but it would need a good dose of trickery [07:21] have a look at man screensaver [07:24] whats man screensaver? [07:24] also i'll look into xwinwrap [07:28] in a terminal type man xscreensaver and have a read. It shows having a gif running can happen but it isn't easy === Zren_ is now known as Zren [17:00] Hello World! Could someone check please how much space left after installing Xubuntu 18.04? [17:02] xubuntu57w: The amount of space left depends on your partition size ;) [17:03] 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] you find the space requirements here: https://xubuntu.org/requirements/ [17:03] did you auto-remove packages already? [17:03] One sec let me check. [17:03] `sudo apt-get auto-remove` on the terminal [17:04] and then, when you already used the system before, I guess you very likely have some software installed which takes up space? [17:05] Yes with auto-remove. [17:07] 12.77 GB was before upgrade and 19,2 GB right now - after upgrade. [17:07] Where is 6,43 GB? [17:08] Some packages simply grow bigger over time. [17:08] but you can try this: `dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nk1 | less` [17:08] (from here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599424) [17:08] this will show you which packages take up how much space [17:09] .oO(omg, I have like 8GB of cuda stuff installed) [17:12] oh, and did you check if there are maybe old kernels left? I had this bug sometimes with 14.04 systems [17:12] Will check kernels now. [17:13] No only two one in use and one as backup. [17:14] Maybe 6,43 GB is fine then. [17:14] did you check what the big packages are? [17:15] This: `dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Installed-Size;10}\t${Package}\n' | sort -nk1 | less` is not showning sizes, [17:15] Only list of all packages. [20:42] 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] hello SeTunTun, I would try changing to AutoEnable=false in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf [21:01] but maybe someone has another easy solution [21:05] Spass, viel Spaß! [21:06] I tried your solution but nothing happened after rebooting :( [21:14] hmm, so maybe "sudo systemctl disable bluetooth.service" [21:14] and to enable it again - "sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service" [21:16] since systemd rules all now :) [21:31] Hello everyone! [21:34] 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] No option to enable touchpad tabbing in the xfce4-settings [22:01] thanks Spass I'll wait for the moment [22:26] duskull: What do you mean with tabs? [22:26] I mean, what is tabbing? [22:26] duskull: In general, use the tool `synclient`. That is very powerful and does almost everything you want for the touchpad [22:27] SeTunTun: Try using `rfkill` [22:27] 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] gnrp: I messed up a bit... [22:34] I installed the synaptics driver using apt but that removed a lot of other stuff [22:34] Now I can't use my keyboard at the login screen [22:36] can you at least switch back to the console with ctrl+alt+F1? [22:36] although I wonder how you manage to deinstlal keyboard stuff. Oo [22:36] I'm a recovery root console now [22:37] And I finally have wifi on that [22:37] No broken packages [22:37] What do you seggest to install now? [22:38] I have no clue what happened [22:38] but look to /var/log/dpkg.log. There you find what has happened [22:38] Okay thanks [22:41] Everything fixed! I installed xserver-xorg-input-all, both touchpad and keyboard are working now. [22:43] and now use synclient to do whatever you want. I still don't know what you mean by tabbing [22:43] 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] There is an option for that in the xfce4-setting under mouse and touchpad, it is called "tab touchpad to click" [23:01] duskull: tap not tab [23:01] Oh sorry, my bad [23:03] you may need to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [23:03] and remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput [23:03] in case it's still not working 100%
