| deadrom | hi | 16:48 |
| deadrom | the bug report page is friggin annoying so I tell you here: Thinkpad T530 on docking station, starting with lid closed sends it into suspend right after start no matter what you tell it in power settings. | 16:48 |
| Spass | hello deadrom, you can look at this thread, maybe you could try some configuration options - https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=12970 | 17:01 |
| Spass | maybe "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" in the /etc/systemd/logind.conf could help? | 17:02 |
| Spass | you can also try "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -s false" or "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -s true" | 17:03 |
| deadrom | Spass: so I should set that to true to be sure the text file edit takes effect? | 17:04 |
| Spass | from what I understand yes, also you can check what setting you currently have by using "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch" command | 17:06 |
| deadrom | was set to false. gonna try. | 17:07 |
| Spass | and also "HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore" may be needed in logind.conf | 17:07 |
| deadrom | in any case I think it ios reasonable to expect the setting in the power settings gui to be authoritative. | 17:07 |
| deadrom | Spass: I found that there and set it accordingly, too | 17:08 |
| deadrom | at least that gives me some clarity on which screws to tinker with, thanks | 17:08 |
| Spass | no problem, hope that helps or give some hints for other possibilities | 17:09 |
| deadrom | Spass: worse now. now goes into suspend 10 seconds after I woke it up no matter what I do. got to keep the lid open. | 18:13 |
| diogenes_ | deadrom, what you try to achieve? | 18:23 |
| deadrom | diogenes_: thinkpad on dock goes to suspend or standby when lid closes | 18:24 |
| diogenes_ | deadrom, and what is the expected action? | 18:24 |
| deadrom | diogenes_: xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -s true and HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore and HandleLidSwitchDocked=ignore in systemd/login.conf made it worse. | 18:25 |
| deadrom | expect system to stay on | 18:25 |
| deadrom | has 2 ext. displays on docks | 18:25 |
| diogenes_ | cat /etc/systemd/logind.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:28 |
| deadrom | diogenes_: termbin.com/l7aa | 18:54 |
| Spass | deadrom, try changing "#HandleLidSwitch=suspend" to "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" | 18:57 |
| deadrom | ok. cannot test right now. gotta be back later. | 18:59 |
| Kumool | what is the fastest way to lower/raise the volume? | 19:14 |
| diogenes_ | Kumool, mousewheel? | 19:15 |
| Kumool | I currently have the pulseaudio plugin for the panel which handles media keys, unfortunately if I press the key multiple times it freezes and lowers the volume after a second | 19:16 |
| Kumool | diogenes_: that works sometimes | 19:16 |
| Kumool | the problem is the media key is actually slower than doing that | 19:19 |
| Kumool | I think its because its forking each time the key is being hit to lower the volume | 19:20 |
| diogenes_ | Kumool, as i said mousewheel is much faster. | 19:20 |
| Kumool | but I like the button | 19:20 |
| Kumool | >_< | 19:21 |
| Kumool | its also handy when you have things in fullscreen | 19:21 |
| diogenes_ | you could set a key combination that will increase/decrease the sound with x% | 19:22 |
| Kumool | x%? | 19:22 |
| diogenes_ | with as many precentage as you want, 5 10 15 | 19:22 |
| Kumool | mmm isnt there a daemon that will listen to the key and lower the volume accordingly | 19:23 |
| Kumool | I imagine that should be quite fast | 19:23 |
| Kumool | theres a xfce4-volumed which points to http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/applications/xfce4-volumed | 19:26 |
| Kumool | which is a 404 | 19:27 |
| Kumool | "This is a volume keys control daemon for Xfce Desktop environment. It controls the volume using multimedia keys, for the card configured in xfce4-mixer. It also provides volume change notifications." | 19:27 |
| Kumool | xfce4-mixer is missing | 19:27 |
| ondondil | Kumool, you could use pulseaudio directly | 19:28 |
| ondondil | pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -5% | 19:28 |
| ondondil | pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +5% | 19:28 |
| brainwash | !info xfce4-volumed | 19:28 |
| ubottu | xfce4-volumed (source: xfce4-volumed): volume keys daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.0-0ubuntu2 (bionic), package size 12 kB, installed size 85 kB | 19:28 |
| Kumool | great, lowering and then lowering the volume doesn't make it go crazy | 19:44 |
| Kumool | thanks ondondil | 19:44 |
| rapidwave | How do I set FoxitReader as default PDF reader? | 20:09 |
| brainwash | rapidwave: right-click a pdf file, open with other application, search and pick foxitreader | 20:10 |
| brainwash | or use the MIME type editor | 20:10 |
| rapidwave | FoxitRreader isn't listed at all | 20:17 |
| brainwash | not possible to navigate to the location? | 20:18 |
| rapidwave | Nope. It opens Software Center | 20:19 |
| brainwash | do you have the input field "use a custom command"? | 20:22 |
| brainwash | in the "open with" dialog window | 20:22 |
| rapidwave | It lists a lot of software, but not foxitreader | 20:33 |
| rapidwave | It might | 20:33 |
| rapidwave | No it does not | 20:33 |
| rapidwave | Isn't there a spot in settings somewhere? | 20:33 |
| brainwash | rapidwave: what spot? I already mentioned the MIME type editor | 20:55 |
| brainwash | does foxitreader have a launcher in /usr/share/applications ? | 20:57 |
| rapidwave | No | 20:57 |
| brainwash | how do you start it? | 20:57 |
| rapidwave | command-line | 20:58 |
| brainwash | then you should create a .desktop launcher for it maybe | 20:58 |
| brainwash | it can be placed in ~/.local/share/applications | 20:59 |
| brainwash | use the command "exo-desktop-item-edit foxitreader.desktop" | 21:00 |
| brainwash | to create one | 21:00 |
| rapidwave | What should I use as working directory? | 21:01 |
| brainwash | leave it empty I guess | 21:03 |
| rapidwave | It still doesn't show in either of those directories, no in the open dialog | 21:04 |
| brainwash | you have to move the .desktop there | 21:04 |
| rapidwave | Where do I findi t? | 21:04 |
| brainwash | probably in ~/ | 21:05 |
| kadiro | anyone can help with systemd | 21:05 |
| rapidwave | Doesn't appear to be | 21:06 |
| brainwash | kadiro: proper systemd support can be found in #systemd | 21:06 |
| kadiro | brainwash, thanks | 21:06 |
| brainwash | rapidwave: how did you run the command? terminal? | 21:07 |
| rapidwave | Yes | 21:07 |
| brainwash | and what was the current working directory when you executed the command? | 21:07 |
| brainwash | "exo-desktop-item-edit ~/.local/share/applications/foxitreader.desktop" | 21:10 |
| kadiro | brainwash, the channel looks dead | 21:10 |
| brainwash | it has 500 users | 21:11 |
| brainwash | compared to 120 here | 21:11 |
| brainwash | you can ask in #ubuntu which should be very active | 21:12 |
| kadiro | brainwash, yeah may be it is not an officiel channel | 21:12 |
| kadiro | ok | 21:12 |
| brainwash | #systemd is the official channel | 21:13 |
| brainwash | and the best place for systemd related questions | 21:13 |
| brainwash | (we still don't know what your actual question is) | 21:13 |
| rapidwave | The launcher is now in ~/.local/share/applications, but still doesn't show in open dialog | 21:14 |
| kadiro | brainwash, I have a custom service file that seems ignoring one command ( modprobe ) paste.ubuntu.com/p/qdncMt68q5/ | 21:14 |
| rapidwave | Why doesn't Xubuntu use Ubuntu's tools for this? | 21:26 |
| rapidwave | In fact..I'll try to switch over DE and try it that way | 21:26 |
| deadrom | Spass: it's ok now. either the reboot or that third thing did the trick. thanks. | 22:20 |
| Spass | great to hear | 22:20 |
| cicdc | Hello, I've been having a weird issue since I recently updated to 18.10, seems that when I lock the screen, it won't come back. I can use ctrl-atl-f1 to get to the tty then, I sometimes can switch back (which I get the session locked screen) and in a few seconds it does show the login screen, but sometimes I have to unlock the session with loginctl. Is there an easy way to fix this? | 22:33 |
