[15:29] <venik212> Control-Shift-V fails to paste into the qTerminal-- why?
[15:31] <venik212> One of the MANY bizarre things in lxqt...
[15:31] <venik212> I wish I had never gone to 18.10
[15:31] <genii> Shift-Insert work?
[15:32] <apt-ghetto> C-S-V works also
[15:32] <venik212> let me try...  I can also paste from the menu or from right clicking, but this USED to work fine in 18.04
[15:33] <venik212> Yes-- shift insert does work
[15:33] <venik212> so we have to remember a special paste command for each app? ;-(
[15:34] <venik212> I tried-- shift insert works in other apps too
[15:35] <venik212> but probably not in Windows, which I visit occasionally
[15:35] <venik212> C-S-V does not work for me-- fresh install of 18.10
[15:35] <apt-ghetto> For me it works, also with a fresh install
[15:36] <venik212> I am not sure what is different for me.  I have a vague feeling that it worked initially, but stopped later
[15:36] <apt-ghetto> Check the settings of qterminal
[15:36] <venik212> I did-- emulation is defualt
[15:36] <venik212> default
[15:37] <venik212> but changing it to linux does not cure the problem
[15:37] <venik212> which setting will do it?
[15:38] <venik212> in addition, there does not seem to be a way to save the changed setting in a named profile, as is possible in other terminals
[15:38] <venik212> When I restart the terminal, it reverts to default emulation
[15:43] <venik212> The only thing I did was to purge fcitx and ibus, so that I could get different keyboard layouts
[15:43] <venik212> they interfered with changing the layouts
[15:44] <apt-ghetto> Did you check the settings in the "shortcuts" section?
[15:45] <venik212> I did-- no C-S-V tehre
[15:45] <apt-ghetto> Then set it to C-S-V and retry
[15:46] <apt-ghetto> Paste Clipboard -> Ctrl+Shift+V
[15:46] <venik212> sorry-- I misspoke-- there it says C-S-V is paste clipboard
[15:46] <venik212> which it does not do in my laptop
 venik212: you have very strange things in your installation, ctrl+shit+c and ctrl+shift+c works perfectly in all the other installations
[15:47] <venik212> ALL the other installations?   That is an interesting statement
 are you sure that you downloaded from teh correct source (lubuntu.me) and that you check the iso for integrity first?
[15:47] <apt-ghetto> If you set the shortcut, does it recognise your CTRL and SHIFT keys?
[15:48] <venik212> Yes and yes-- I have been using Lubuntu since version 7 or so, and never had this kind of behavior
[15:48] <venik212> I miss LXDE.. ;-)
 I dind't need to set it is in the defaukt
 ctr+shift+t opens a new tab in qterminal
[15:50] <venik212> Not for me...  C-S-T does nothing for me
[15:51] <apt-ghetto> Is it set? Or is it empty?
 It is set as default
[15:51] <venik212> it shows in the shortcuts table
[15:52] <venik212> C-S-T --> New tab
 that works for you?
[15:52] <venik212> no it doees not
[15:53] <apt-ghetto> What shows `ll .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini`?
 (Photo, 800x764) https://i.imgur.com/feqZOlU.jpg this is the shortcut table
 venik212: maybe someting went wrong during your installation. COudl you try if it works on a live session?
[15:55] <venik212> Paste%20Clipboard=Ctrl+Shift+V
[15:55] <venik212> from the qterminal.ini file
 also are ypu sure that your ctrl and shift keys works?
[15:55] <venik212> they do for other applications
[15:56] <apt-ghetto> ll is an alias for ls -l, so maybe i like to know something else
[15:57] <venik212> the shortcut table looks like mine
[15:57] <venik212> I am wondering whether it is possible that this happens because I have two other layouts...
 venik212: do you upgrade from a version or did a clean install of 18.10?
[15:58] <venik212> clean install
 what does the command apt-ghetto give you get?
[16:01] <venik212> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2140 Feb 26 16:22 .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini
[16:03] <apt-ghetto> Ok, you played with sudo
[16:05] <venik212> guilty as charged
[16:05] <apt-ghetto> Find all files and directories, that are not owned by you: `find . ! -user $USER`
[16:05] <apt-ghetto> Then change the ownership: `sudo chown $USER:$USER .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini` and for all other files too
[16:06] <apt-ghetto> With all other files I mean only the files in your ~ directory
[16:08] <venik212> Do it exactly as you typed it, or replace user with my usernname?
 is teh same
[16:09] <apt-ghetto> If `echo $USER` shows your username, than it is the same
 $USER is your usernname
[16:09] <apt-ghetto> but if you set the USER variable to something else...
 ^ good point
[16:21] <venik212> OK-- I did it.  So far it did not fix it.  Should I reboot?
[16:22] <venik212> rebooting
[16:25] <venik212> no dice....
[16:28] <venik212> here 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.ini
[16:29] <venik212> Others reporting a similar issue said it worked for them if they ran the qterminal as root, but not for me
[16:37] <venik212> I just installed lxterminal, and it has the very same issue...   I am really puzzled
[16:41] <venik212> Same failure with xterm
[16:42] <apt-ghetto> so, it seems, that your key stroke is intercepted somehow
[16:42] <venik212> indeed...
 do you know xev?
 in a terminal you should run xev
[16:43] <venik212> no
 then press your keys and see what appear
[16:43] <venik212> gnome-terminal behaves the same way
 to terminate xev ctrl+c
[16:44] <venik212> xev responds to C-S-V
 xev responds to individual keys
[16:45] <venik212> yes it does
 KeyPress event, serial 48, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001, ...     root 0x2c0, subw 0x0, time 36057656, (659,468), root:(661,498), ...     state 0x10, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES, ...     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ...     XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ...     XFilterEvent returns: False ... KeyReleas
[16:46] <venik212> ????
 you get that same output?
[16:48] <venik212>     XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (03) ""
[16:48] <venik212>     XFilterEvent returns: False

[16:48] <teward> !pastebin
[16:49] <teward> venik212: ^ paste your multiline output into a pastebin and share the link here
[16:49] <teward> then the system won't silence you for flooding
 ok, control_L works then
 how about shift?
[16:53] <venik212> Control, 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 OK
[16:53] <venik212> it seems that only the terminals are screwed up
[16:54] <venik212> I use the left control many times a day, to zoom in Chrome, etc.
 sorry, I'm clueless
[16:54] <venik212> thanks for trying
 maybe there is something in .bashrc but that shouldn't happen
[16:54] <venik212> I might boot from the USB installation and see if it works tehre
[16:55] <venik212> if it doe, then I assume it was something I did afterwards (some other package that I installed).
[16:56] <venik212> I 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.
[16:57] <venik212> it is curious that it is only the terminal, though
[16:58] <venik212> signing off to try the usb
 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 from
 maybe this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[22:52] <benn> Hey guys, I installed lubuntu and didn't like the xscreensaver so i installed gnome, uninstalled xscreensaver, but it seems glitchy
[22:53] <benn> is there a way to set the default screen locker?
[22:53] <benn> cause it seems like something isnt working
 Danke Hans. ... Did not work yet... ... The Tool said there was no Efi Partition, I should create fat32 /boot/Efi flag boot... ... Well there is exactly this Partition, so I used gparted to repeat creating what was said was missing. Could create the fat32 Partition but could not create the Mount point.... ... I ll try again tomorrow
 @Stefan [Danke Hans. ... Did not work yet... ... The Tool said there was no Efi Partition, I shou …], Bitte, hoffentlich geht's.
