[01:42] ok, having a brain fart here - upgraded from 18.04 LTS->18.10->19.04, now meta/super key doesn't open the application launcher - I know I fixed this before, but can't find or remember how to fix it (Settings->workspace->shortcuts->global shortcuts->plasma->activate app launcher widget won't take just meta/super) [01:43] give it alt-f1 instead, for some reason it'll also recognize super if you do that [01:43] it already has Alt-F1 there for global - and Alt-F1 works [01:44] will change and change back [01:44] i configured it in a different place: right-click widget -> Configure Application Launcher -> Keyboard shortcuts. dunno if that makes any difference [01:44] but Super definitely didn't work before I did Alt-F1, and definitely did after [02:03] either that or logout+login did it - thanks!

[19:53] diogenes_: ok. The driver manager says it is collecting information about my system. It's taking a while [19:54] ok no problem. [19:57] diogenes_: it states that my computer requires no proprietary drivers [19:58] larsih, ok close that and in terminal run: sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [19:58] tell me when done [19:59] diogenes_: done [19:59] ok now open this link and copy that command into the terminal and hit enter: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SJcdR8xvqk/ [19:59] make sure you copy it entirely [20:00] diogenes_: ok [20:00] tell me when done [20:01] diogenes_: done [20:01] ok now run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:01] share the link here [20:02] https://termbin.com/9b0h [20:03] ok looks good, before you restart, write down on a paper the following command" [20:03] sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [20:03] ok [20:03] NOT in terminal [20:03] got ya [20:03] on a paper because [20:03] if after reboot you gonna be welcomed with a blinking cursor and black screen [20:04] you press ctrl+alt+f1/2/3 whichever [20:04] enter your login name and passwort [20:04] and enter this command [20:04] and enter: systemctl reboot [20:04] that's all, now you can reboot and see if this helps and come back with a feedback. [20:05] ok, I'm done wrinting it down on paper [20:05] good [20:14] diogenes_: done rebooting and I entered the command [20:15] larsih, which means you got a black screen? [20:15] or it rebooted fine? [20:15] it rebooted fine [20:16] so what command have you entered? [20:16] sudo rm -r /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [20:16] :) when? after reboot? [20:17] I rebooted, entered ctrl alt f2, logged in, typed the command, and did the systemctrl reboot [20:18] larsih, you was meant to do that operation ONLY in case it didn't boot correctly :) [20:18] ok now let's do things from the beginning [20:19] diogenes_: oh [20:19] ooops [20:19] run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:19] share [20:20] I guess I need to make the directory again [20:21] sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d [20:21] then [20:21] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SJcdR8xvqk/ [20:21] then [20:21] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 [20:21] share [20:24] diogenes_: https://termbin.com/sl15 [20:25] larsih, ok reboot now and after reboot don't enter any command but test your video playback and come back here with a feedback. [20:25] diogenes_: ok, rebooting [20:29] diogenes_: rebooted and tested the video play and it is the same [20:30] larsih, ok let's try a few more tricks [20:30] diogenes_: ok [20:30] run: sudo apt update [20:30] after that run: sudo apt install libdvdnav4 libdvdread4 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly libdvd-pkg [20:30] after that: sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:31] when it's all installed, try the video again [20:37] diogenes_: rebooting since video replay doesn't work at all. Brb [20:37] ok [20:42] diogenes_: it didn't work. In addition I can now only open a video one time. Then I need to reboot to be able to open a video again [20:43] larsih, what player do you use? [20:43] diogenes_: vlc. I have tried other players (in 18.04) with the same problems though [20:44] larsih, have you tried mpv? [20:44] diogenes_: I will try that one out [20:45] sudo apt install mpv mplayer [20:45] try them both [20:48] diogenes_: mpv seems to work. It is "laggy" but that's 100% better than the video freezing up [20:49] mpv is good. [20:50] mplayer won't start. But oh well, got mpv to run [20:50] diogenes_: think we can call this a win, thank you sir :) [20:51] you're welcome. === if is now known as Guest25770 [21:50] Hello, has anyone had their KOrganizer events disappear? It happened today with someone I know and I'm trying to help them, but I don't have any idea of where to look. I didn't find any kde related dotfiles in their home folder (the computer is running Ubuntu 18.04, not Kubuntu). === phillippe is now known as osxyer [22:59] I'm trying to understand the follow command. I understand this is a recursive copy. But I don't understand exactly how parent directory is in-play. And the .gnome, is this a file? And finally the dot at the end. [23:00] cp -R ../oldguy/.gnome/ . [23:02] Nevermind, got it.
