[06:54] <hans_> superb quality https://i.imgur.com/R0m3tNW.jpg
[07:02] <teb007est> could someone please help me turn down this brightness on xubuntu just installed it tonight hurting the eyes
[07:08] <hans_> teb007est, on my laptop it's fn+f8 but that may be laptop-specific not sure
[08:11] <hans_> this gives me about 40 MB/s accoridng to atop: dd if=/dev/zero iflag=fullblock status=progress oflag=direct of=/dev/sda bs=10M
[08:11] <hans_> this gives me about 9-10 MB/s accoridng to atop: dd if=/dev/zero iflag=fullblock status=progress of=/dev/sda bs=10M
[08:12] <hans_> also the 2nd dd hangs for a long time in d
[08:12] <hans_> the only difference is that #1 bypass the IO cache
[08:12] <hans_> why is going thru the IO cache so slow?
[08:16] <hans_> hmm, something else's wrong, now they both give about 40MB/s
[08:27] <hans_> can no longer reproduce - also i guess this is what i should expect? http://paste.debian.net/plain/1082131
[13:22] <xubuntu13w> есть кто
[15:24] <howdyb_>         Hmm--this must be the input window.
[15:25] <howdyb_> I'm new here, really new to Linux entirely.
[15:28] <howdyb_> I think I really like this distro. I want to find a 2-panel file manager that works with xubuntu. I use Total Commander all the time in Windows.
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> there's midnight commander 'mc'
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> but it's text based, like norton commander used to be
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> and there's gnome commander
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> which is gui based
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> i've never used either
[15:29] <pmjdebruijn> so no clue if they're any good
[15:30] <pmjdebruijn> I like Thunar just fine, for what little I need from it
[15:31] <howdyb_> I'll check them out. So I just say "sudo apt install gnome commander
[15:32] <howdyb_> spaces included?
[15:34] <howdyb_> Or use synaptic?
[15:35] <pmjdebruijn> apt-cache search whatever
[15:36] <howdyb_> Thanks
[18:11] <Guest54281> I have been having the worst time getting vnc/desktop sharing working with 19.04.  Vino doesn't seem to be installed by default any more, and nothing wants to connect to the console session (:1); every package wants to start a new desktop for remote sessions.  Anyone else figure desktop sharing out and want to consult?
[18:13] <pmjdebruijn> Guest54281: what did you do?
[18:13] <pmjdebruijn> did you install Vino?
[18:14] <pmjdebruijn> as it's still in the repos IIRC
[18:14] <Guest54281> I installed vino, but it starts a new session when I run the server (:2).
[18:15] <Guest54281> That session also didn't start xfce, so I just got the grey background.
[18:15] <pmjdebruijn> I've never used vino
[18:16] <pmjdebruijn> afaik it's never been installed by default in xubuntu
[18:16] <Guest54281> TigerVNC did the same thing, except the server errored out and wouldn't start after I rebooted the machine.
[18:16] <pmjdebruijn> Guest54281: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/434496
[18:17] <Guest54281> There wasn't a settings panel for it, but it used to be there and configured to join :1
[18:17] <pmjdebruijn> keep in mind that vino was built fo rgnome
[18:17] <pmjdebruijn> so you probably need gnome-control-center to be able t oconfigur eit
[18:18] <Guest54281> Right, but it has worked and xfce is built on gtk+ (I thought?) so I didn't expect an issue.
[18:20] <Guest54281> I tried installing the gconf panel, by I think the dependencies are incomplete because it didn't actually pad the Vino panel. Maybe I'll go back and try to get that working.
[18:20] <Guest54281> Or give up on going lightweight and install the Kubuntu desktop. If just never liked Unity.
[18:22] <Guest54281> It's just annoying TigerVNC wouldn't work either.  I was wondering if some sort of session lock was applied as a security default or something.
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> huh?
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> sudo apt-get install gnome-control-center
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> that didn't work?
[18:24] <Guest54281> I did the Vino control panel (I forget the package name now), and it did load a bunch of dependencies, but apparently not enough.  I'll try it that way.
[18:25] <pmjdebruijn> there isn't a vino control panel package at all
[18:25] <pmjdebruijn> so I'm not sure, what you're referencing?
[18:26] <pmjdebruijn> at least AFAIK
[18:26] <pmjdebruijn> as I said, I never used it
[18:28] <Guest54281> I had been tinkering with the config files via nano, but as a side branch I found a thread that gave a package name - something along the lines of vino-config or vino-utils.  I closed the tab, and have a *lot* of similar stuff in history right now, so I just tried to find that thread but I don't think it'll be quick.
[18:28] <pmjdebruijn> there is no vino-config or vino-utils in ubuntu
[18:29] <pmjdebruijn> (or any of it's official variants)
[18:29] <Guest54281> Whatever it was, it existed and installed, but I got this subset of three panels from the control center, none of which was sharing.
[18:29] <Guest54281> Anyway, I will try installing the master control center package - that's a good idea.
[18:30] <pmjdebruijn> it'll probably pull in a ton of deps
[18:30] <pmjdebruijn> so I'm not sure if it's _that_ good an idea
[18:30] <Guest54281> That's what I was hoping to avoid going the focused route.
[18:31] <Guest54281> I mean, I like KDE, so I could just go that way too, but I was hoping for something lightweight for a headless home media server
[18:32] <Guest54281> Plex and Transmission work just fine, but I need to fix a bunch of my music and Picard needs the GUI, so I need VNC or a more cumbersome workflow.
