venik212Control-Shift-V fails to paste into the qTerminal-- why?15:29
venik212One of the MANY bizarre things in lxqt...15:31
venik212I wish I had never gone to 18.1015:31
geniiShift-Insert work?15:31
apt-ghettoC-S-V works also15:32
venik212let me try...  I can also paste from the menu or from right clicking, but this USED to work fine in 18.0415:32
venik212Yes-- shift insert does work15:33
venik212so we have to remember a special paste command for each app? ;-(15:33
venik212I tried-- shift insert works in other apps too15:34
venik212but probably not in Windows, which I visit occasionally15:35
venik212C-S-V does not work for me-- fresh install of 18.1015:35
apt-ghettoFor me it works, also with a fresh install15:35
venik212I am not sure what is different for me.  I have a vague feeling that it worked initially, but stopped later15:36
apt-ghettoCheck the settings of qterminal15:36
venik212I did-- emulation is defualt15:36
venik212default15:36
venik212but changing it to linux does not cure the problem15:37
venik212which setting will do it?15:37
venik212in addition, there does not seem to be a way to save the changed setting in a named profile, as is possible in other terminals15:38
venik212When I restart the terminal, it reverts to default emulation15:38
venik212The only thing I did was to purge fcitx and ibus, so that I could get different keyboard layouts15:43
venik212they interfered with changing the layouts15:43
apt-ghettoDid you check the settings in the "shortcuts" section?15:44
venik212I did-- no C-S-V tehre15:45
apt-ghettoThen set it to C-S-V and retry15:45
apt-ghettoPaste Clipboard -> Ctrl+Shift+V15:46
venik212sorry-- I misspoke-- there it says C-S-V is paste clipboard15:46
venik212which it does not do in my laptop15:46
lubot<HMollerCl> venik212: you have very strange things in your installation, ctrl+shit+c and ctrl+shift+c works perfectly in all the other installations15:47
venik212ALL the other installations?   That is an interesting statement15:47
lubot<HMollerCl> are you sure that you downloaded from teh correct source (lubuntu.me) and that you check the iso for integrity first?15:47
apt-ghettoIf you set the shortcut, does it recognise your CTRL and SHIFT keys?15:47
venik212Yes and yes-- I have been using Lubuntu since version 7 or so, and never had this kind of behavior15:48
venik212I miss LXDE.. ;-)15:48
lubot<HMollerCl> I dind't need to set it is in the defaukt15:49
lubot<HMollerCl> ctr+shift+t opens a new tab in qterminal15:49
venik212Not for me...  C-S-T does nothing for me15:50
apt-ghettoIs it set? Or is it empty?15:51
lubot<HMollerCl> It is set as default15:51
venik212it shows in the shortcuts table15:51
venik212C-S-T --> New tab15:52
lubot<HMollerCl> that works for you?15:52
venik212no it doees not15:52
=== ErichEickmeyer is now known as Eickmeyer
apt-ghettoWhat shows `ll .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini`?15:53
lubot<HMollerCl> (Photo, 800x764) https://i.imgur.com/feqZOlU.jpg this is the shortcut table15:54
lubot<HMollerCl> venik212: maybe someting went wrong during your installation. COudl you try if it works on a live session?15:55
venik212Paste%20Clipboard=Ctrl+Shift+V15:55
venik212from the qterminal.ini file15:55
lubot<HMollerCl> also are ypu sure that your ctrl and shift keys works?15:55
venik212they do for other applications15:55
apt-ghettoll is an alias for ls -l, so maybe i like to know something else15:56
venik212the shortcut table looks like mine15:57
venik212I am wondering whether it is possible that this happens because I have two other layouts...15:57
lubot<HMollerCl> venik212: do you upgrade from a version or did a clean install of 18.10?15:58
venik212clean install15:58
lubot<HMollerCl> what does the command apt-ghetto give you get?15:58
venik212-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2140 Feb 26 16:22 .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini16:01
apt-ghettoOk, you played with sudo16:03
venik212guilty as charged16:05
apt-ghettoFind all files and directories, that are not owned by you: `find . ! -user $USER`16:05
apt-ghettoThen change the ownership: `sudo chown $USER:$USER .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini` and for all other files too16:05
apt-ghettoWith all other files I mean only the files in your ~ directory16:06
venik212Do it exactly as you typed it, or replace user with my usernname?16:08
lubot<HMollerCl> is teh same16:08
apt-ghettoIf `echo $USER` shows your username, than it is the same16:09
lubot<HMollerCl> $USER is your usernname16:09
apt-ghettobut if you set the USER variable to something else...16:09
lubot<HMollerCl> ^ good point16:10
venik212OK-- I did it.  So far it did not fix it.  Should I reboot?16:21
venik212rebooting16:22
venik212no dice....16:25
venik212here is what I get with the ls -l....:16:28
venik212-rw-rw-r-- 1 udi udi 2139 Feb 26 17:09 .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini16:28
venik212Others reporting a similar issue said it worked for them if they ran the qterminal as root, but not for me16:29
venik212I just installed lxterminal, and it has the very same issue...   I am really puzzled16:37
venik212Same failure with xterm16:41
apt-ghettoso, it seems, that your key stroke is intercepted somehow16:42
venik212indeed...16:42
lubot<HMollerCl> do you know xev?16:43
lubot<HMollerCl> in a terminal you should run xev16:43
venik212no16:43
lubot<HMollerCl> then press your keys and see what appear16:43
venik212gnome-terminal behaves the same way16:43
lubot<HMollerCl> to terminate xev ctrl+c16:43
venik212xev responds to C-S-V16:44
lubot<HMollerCl> xev responds to individual keys16:44
venik212yes it does16:45

lubot<HMollerCl> ok, control_L works then16:50
lubot<HMollerCl> how about shift?16:50
venik212Control, Shift and V all elicit a response from xev, and since they are detected correctly by other programs (LO Writer, featherpad), I assume that they are working OK16:53
venik212it seems that only the terminals are screwed up16:53
venik212I use the left control many times a day, to zoom in Chrome, etc.16:54
lubot<HMollerCl> sorry, I'm clueless16:54
venik212thanks for trying16:54
lubot<HMollerCl> maybe there is something in .bashrc but that shouldn't happen16:54
venik212I might boot from the USB installation and see if it works tehre16:54
venik212if it doe, then I assume it was something I did afterwards (some other package that I installed).16:55
venik212I had a lot of trouble to get the different language layouts to work, because of the unholy interaction with ibus and fcitx, and someone here suggested changing ownerships, etc.16:56
venik212it is curious that it is only the terminal, though16:57
venik212signing off to try the usb16:58
lubot<Stefan> Hi there. ... Just messed up my lubuntu... 😭 ... I had a great working dual boot with lubuntu aside windows10 on hp8460p with uefi BIOS. ... I wanted to get rid of Windows so I reinstalled only lubuntu - was a bit tricky cos of uefi... But worked well. But since I did "sudo apt-get upgrade" I can only boot lubuntu if I stop boot from21:59
lubothard drive and opt "boot from EFI files - select File System - EFI - Ubuntu - grubx64. Efi". ... While installing I made 3 partitions: ... Sda1 is 512mb fat32 /boot/Efi flag esp boot ... Sda2 is 10000mb swap ... Sda3 Rest of MB / ... Any hint how to fix the bootloader? ... In /boot I found a "grub" folder as well as a "efi" folder21:59
lubot<HMollerCl> maybe this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair22:08
