| ball | If the installer doesn't offer me sda and I know the disk is good, is it likely there's a mainboard problem (SATA port etc.)? I haven't tried a different SATA cable yet. | 00:23 |

| silkairways | Hello is anyone in at the moment? | 03:09 |
| ball | Yes. | 03:11 |
| ball | Sort of. | 03:12 |
| silkairways | I had a question | 03:12 |
| * ball waits for the question | 03:12 | |
| silkairways | When i click save session and shut down. I turn back on and only the web browser comes back open | 03:13 |
| silkairways | Other apps do not re open upon restart with saved session | 03:13 |
| silkairways | Is that normal? | 03:13 |
| * ball shrugs | 03:13 | |
| silkairways | Normal? | 03:14 |
| ball | No idea. I don't run Xubuntu. I could test it on my daughter's PC. | 03:15 |
| ball | I did actually try installing Xubuntu today but it didn't work. | 03:15 |
| ball | (probably because of a hardware issue) | 03:15 |
| silkairways | Oh it was on ubuntu studio they said ppl here might know | 03:16 |
| ball | They're right. | 03:16 |
| ball | Other people though. | 03:16 |
| Unit193 | I too do not use that feature, but you could possibly try clearing out old sessions and see if saving a new one helps. | 03:17 |
| Eickmeyer | silkairways: See https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/dzZcRF7dWQ/ | 03:18 |
| Eickmeyer | We talked about it a bit after you left. | 03:18 |
| ball | Trying it again now... | 03:20 |
| silkairways | Okay cool thank you Eickmeyer | 03:29 |
| silkairways | I will check that out | 03:30 |
| silkairways | Is it safe to say the feature should be opening all the open programs upon reboot? | 03:30 |
| Eickmeyer | That I couldn't tell you. | 03:30 |
| ball | I might try I may try Dingo instead. Perhaps that's what I did wrong. | 03:31 |
| silkairways | Anybody know how i could find the sessions to clear? | 03:32 |
| silkairways | Sorry ball im not sure what dingo is. Part of the xubuntu install? | 03:33 |
| silkairways | I found it under setting sessions and startup | 03:34 |
| silkairways | I think this will clear up my issues. I thought it worked autonomously but as with everything linux it has a bunch of awesome features and settings of its own | 03:35 |
| Eickmeyer | silkairways: dingo (disco dingo) was the codename for 18.04. | 03:36 |
| ball | Eickmeyer: I thought that was 19.04? | 03:36 |
| silkairways | Oh right! Disco dingo | 03:36 |
| silkairways | That's what is installed on my hdd | 03:36 |
| Eickmeyer | ball: Typo. :P | 03:36 |
| ball | Eickmeyer: Those happen. | 03:36 |
| ball | Eickmeyer: ...just wanted to make sure I wasn't downloading something older than LTS | 03:37 |
| Eickmeyer | Usually we refer to the codename by the first part if being short. So, you'll hear Disco referred to more than Dingo. | 03:37 |
| ball | Sorry. I'm not really a Linux person so I guessed. ;-) | 03:37 |
| silkairways | I thin 19.04 is disco dingo 18.10 cosmic cuttlefish 18.4 bionic beaver | 03:38 |
| Eickmeyer | That's correct, silkairways. | 03:39 |
| silkairways | I have bionic beaver on my hdd and disco dingo on my usb stick for my side business | 03:39 |
| ball | I'm downloading Disco Dingo now | 03:40 |
| ball | Didn't have any luck with Bionic Beaver. | 03:40 |
| silkairways | Where are you trying to install? In a vm? On a hdd? | 03:41 |
| ball | On a hard disk. | 03:44 |
| ball | On an i3 desktop | 03:44 |
| ball | ...for reasons ;-) | 03:45 |
| silkairways | Oh i see | 03:47 |
| ball | The installer boots but it can't see the hard disk to install to. | 03:47 |
| silkairways | I have 18.04 on an embarrassingly old laptop with the processor is probably much worse | 03:47 |
| silkairways | It have the machine new life and now it is my security cameras server | 03:48 |
| silkairways | *gave | 03:48 |
| silkairways | I hate this keyboard | 03:48 |
| ball | IP cameras? | 03:49 |
| ball | Perhaps I'm supposed to run some sort of partitioning tool prior to installation but ...I don't know | 03:50 |
| silkairways | Yes ip cameras | 03:50 |
| silkairways | Oh wow my processor actually comes out ahead vs i3 3217U on cpuboss.com | 03:52 |
| ball | Not sure that's a reliable site. The folks in ##hardware would know. | 03:55 |
| silkairways | It's not very important | 04:05 |
| silkairways | Just surprised they even comparable | 04:06 |
| silkairways | And for my saved session questions those programs i was looking for are not in the list available to save the session so i will try to just add them to startup | 04:08 |
| silkairways | Gtg c y'all later | 04:17 |
| ball | Goodnight silkairways | 04:18 |
| silkairways | Goodnight ball | 04:18 |
| ball | Goodnight everyone! | 04:20 |
| ball | Well, I should have gone to bed but I didn't. | 04:51 |
| ball | ...and 19.04 is doing the same thing that 18.04 did (not offering sda as an installation target) | 04:52 |
| diogenes_ | ball, what you trying to do? | 04:56 |
| ball | diogenes_: Install Xubuntu | 04:56 |
| ball | (onto a blank disk) | 04:56 |
| diogenes_ | do you have multiple hdds? | 04:57 |
| ball | diogenes_: Not on this machine. | 04:57 |
| diogenes_ | ball, new hdd? how old is it? | 04:59 |
| ball | Tested HD. Under three years old. Passes SMART and other tests. | 05:00 |
| diogenes_ | tried to start with a new partition table in gparted? | 05:01 |
| diogenes_ | pick gpt for efi | 05:02 |
| diogenes_ | msdos for mbr | 05:02 |
| ball | diogenes_: I haven't seen that offered by the installer. I suppose I could boot to the live image and look for it there. | 05:03 |
| ball | Shouldn't the installer be able to handle a blank disk though? | 05:05 |
| diogenes_ | ball, try with gparted. | 05:06 |
| * ball lookds for it. | 05:06 | |
| Unit193 | `lsblk` find it, I presume? | 05:07 |
| diogenes_ | ? | 05:07 |
| ball | diogenes_: That worked, though it called MBR "msdos" | 05:13 |
| ball | ...which is stupid. | 05:13 |
| ball | ...and didn't offer to create a partition in the installer. | 05:13 |
| diogenes_ | ball, so everything's fine now? | 05:14 |
| ball | Appears so. | 05:15 |
| ball | We'll see whether it's bootable once the installation completes. | 05:15 |
| ball | Looks like it'll take a while to install. I'll test it in the morning before I go to work, hopefully. | 05:16 |
| ball | diogenes_: I appreciate the help. Thanks! | 05:17 |
| diogenes_ | ball, you're welcome. | 05:17 |
| ball | Oh it's done! That was quick. | 05:20 |
| ball | ...and it boots. | 05:23 |
| ball | ...with that, I'm off to bed. :-) | 05:24 |
| Unit193 | gparted unmounts stuff, not sure if ubiquity does but I thought so. | 05:34 |

| xubuntu73w | Operating 18.04 from cd operated at 1024x748 on my Amilo-Pro V2030, so I downloaded it becayse Mint only worked at 640x480. But downloaded Xubunto also only worked at 640x480! Setting shows no other resolution. How do I get the downloaded version to use higher resolution like the CD version does? | 11:14 |
| bluesabre | xubuntu73w: Click on the apps menu, type in "display" and select it, then choose a higher resolution | 11:15 |

| === Spass_laptop_ is now known as Spass_laptop | ||
| xubuntu56w | can anyone help me with setting properties using xfconf-query on xubuntu 18.04.2? | 14:18 |
| Spass | xubuntu56w, what do you want to change? did you see this wiki? https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/xfconf-query | 14:21 |
| xubuntu56w | i want to change the properties lid-action-on-battery and lid-action-on-ac, i did see the wiki and it did not help. whenever i run the command it says that the property does not exist on the channel | 14:24 |
| Spass | you mean "xfce4-power-manager" channel? I don't see those properties on my machine in that channel, so if you need you may add them | 14:27 |
| Spass | create them | 14:28 |
| xubuntu56w | that's what i initially thought. i issued "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/lid-action-on-ac -n -t int -s 1" yet the property remains unchanged | 14:30 |
| Spass | try "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /lid-action-on-ac -n -t bool -s true" | 14:32 |
| Spass | no, sorry | 14:32 |
| Spass | you need int for that | 14:32 |
| Spass | so "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /lid-action-on-ac -n -t int -s 1" | 14:32 |
| Spass | I think that "/xfce4-power-manager/" after -p was unnecessary in your command | 14:33 |
| Spass | well, to be sure I'm not really sure what type do you need for that property, where did you get info about adding that property? | 14:36 |
| Spass | (maybe it shows only on laptops, that's why I don't see it on my PC) | 14:37 |
| xubuntu56w | i ran xfconf-query in monitor mode and fiddled around with the settings and that's what i got if that's what you're asking | 14:37 |
| xubuntu56w | okay, i tried "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /lid-action-on-ac -n -t int -s 1" and the default action for closing the lid on ac is still "lock screen" and not "suspend" | 14:39 |
| Spass | does it change when you change 1 to 2? with this "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /lid-action-on-ac -s 2" | 14:41 |
| xubuntu56w | it does not | 14:41 |
| Spass | I'll take a look at that on my laptop, one moment | 14:42 |
| xubuntu56w | it does work if i manually open the power manager, change the settings there and then enter "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/lid-action-on-ac -s 1" into the terminal | 14:42 |
| Spass_laptop | it works on my laptop "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/lid-action-on-ac -s 3" | 14:49 |
| Spass_laptop | I can change it to 0. 1 or 3 (2 is blank on my laptop) | 14:49 |
| xubuntu56w | did you manually change the settings through xfce4-power-manager gui before? | 14:49 |
| Spass_laptop | and it makes change in GUI, but I need to reopne the settings window to see the changes | 14:49 |
| xubuntu56w | i noticed that changing the settings using the terminal does work, but you need to change them using the gui first | 14:51 |
| Spass_laptop | I've changed for AC in GUI, because the property wasn't present before | 14:51 |
| Spass_laptop | yeah, same observation | 14:51 |
| Spass_laptop | property wasn't there until I've changed in GUI to some other option, that created the property | 14:51 |
| xubuntu56w | and if you create it manually it doesn't do anything | 14:52 |
| Spass_laptop | and now I can see the property and change to whatever I want using xfconf-query (or in GUI) | 14:52 |
| Spass_laptop | ok, will try to delete it and create without GUI | 14:52 |
| Spass_laptop | yeah, when I created it using xfconf-query the property was added, but changes weren't visible in GUI | 14:55 |
| Spass_laptop | weird | 14:55 |
| Spass_laptop | and after one change in GUI it starts working | 14:56 |
| xubuntu56w | so i guess it's a bug | 14:58 |
| Spass | if you used my incorrect command I suggested on the beginning, you can delete that property using "xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /lid-action-on-ac -r -R" | 14:59 |
| Spass | yeah, bug or some behaviour I don't really understand, maybe xfce devs would help with explaining that | 15:00 |
| xubuntu56w | should i file a bug report then? | 15:01 |
| Spass | not sure, but it would not hurt, maybe here? https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?component=Xfconf-query&list_id=47041&product=Xfconf&resolution=--- | 15:19 |
| Spass | or maybe it's strictly a Xfce Power Manager thing... another option is asking on #xfce-dev I suppose | 15:20 |
| xubuntu56w | the bugzilla already has a bug report that is similar in behavior to what i'm experiencing | 15:21 |
| nokiomanz | Hi, I have my desktop connected to a 4K TV via HDMI as my main monitor. I set the desktop to 1080p. But upon Closing/opening the television on the next day or a few hours later it is as if the display is "redetected" and resolution is set to 4k. What can I do to make it stick to 1080p? If I close the television and open it a few minutes later it is still at 1080p. | 17:51 |
