| Kumool | So because X seems to hang/freeze and eat up key events except for the mouse which is the only thing that is responsive, I was wondering if there was a mouse gesturing thing that I could use for restarting the computer whenever that happened | 01:51 |
| Kumool | mouse gestures like opera gestures and so on, basically the moves in a certain way and it performs an action | 01:52 |
| Kumool | thats a gesture | 01:52 |
| Kumool | i think | 01:52 |

| gimpnixon | I was sent over here from #ubuntu when i asked about changin themes on my system, I recently stripped it down because i was having some issues with my desktop environment, I'm using a base system now with only Compiz and Xfce4 panel and thunar. the only issue i'm having is I have not been able to find a way to change my theme across the board. Emerald worked sort of, but was limited in scope. so i | 05:20 |
| gimpnixon | switched to gtk-window-decorator and havn't been able to consistently change my theme in any way, and also unable to tone down the blinding white background on thunar as well. I read about chaning gtkrc and gtk2.0 css, and have not had luck with that either, any suggestions woudl be awesome, thank you all | 05:21 |
| well_laid_lawn | !themes | 05:24 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager -> Appearance (tabs Style, Icons) and/or Settings Manager -> Window Manager (tab Style). Starting with Xubuntu 13.10, you can control some of your theme colors from Settings Manager -> Theme Configuration. | 05:24 |
| gimpnixon | well_laid_lawn unhelpful | 05:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | k | 05:25 |
| gimpnixon | thank you for the reply though really | 05:25 |

| louigi | Hey everyone! Installed Xubuntu 18.04. Laptop is Lenovo X1 Carbon. When I am locking my screen, it goes blank. I then either have to type my password in the dark or reboot. Can this be fixed? Googling has not yielded helpful results. | 19:13 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: it only happens on 18.04.2 not 18.04.1 IIRC | 19:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F8 | 19:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | is a workaround | 19:14 |
| pmjdebruijn | or just install 18.04.1 and don't install the kernel 4.18 hardware enablement stack | 19:14 |
| louigi | pmjdebruijn: Ha! So it's a known issue? | 19:16 |
| louigi | This is like a huge bug, I must say | 19:16 |
| louigi | Will try the shortcuts later (the laptop is not with me now). Is there anywhere I can read about this? | 19:16 |
| pmjdebruijn | I don't have the bug entry handy | 19:17 |
| pmjdebruijn | i'm not sure if the 18.04.2 ISO actually has an option to install without HWE kernel | 19:17 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: it's a bug, though not huge | 19:17 |
| louigi | I did not see such an option | 19:17 |
| pmjdebruijn | then just download the 18.04.1 ISO, and then update | 19:17 |
| brainwash | you can downgrade also, can't you? | 19:18 |
| pmjdebruijn | not sure | 19:18 |
| pmjdebruijn | can you with a HWE? | 19:18 |
| pmjdebruijn | since it also involves Xorg? | 19:18 |
| pmjdebruijn | without huge risk? | 19:18 |
| brainwash | I'd think it's just a package downgrade | 19:18 |
| brainwash | well, replacement actually | 19:19 |
| louigi | This is a new laptop, so I can, of course, reinstall, although it's strange to install an older version... Well. Not so strange in Linux world, but still, I hope this will be fixed? | 19:19 |
| louigi | On the other hand, 18.04 came out a year ago... | 19:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | it's not an older version | 19:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | 18.04.1 ships the original kernel which 18.04 was released with | 19:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | 18.04.2 ships with the kernel 18.10 was originally released with | 19:19 |
| louigi | Oh, and the other one is with HWE | 19:19 |
| pmjdebruijn | the .2 release have newer kenels with shorter support, to be able to support new hardware | 19:19 |
| louigi | Nice. Xubuntu site said nothing about it. | 19:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | everything else between 18.04.1 and 18.04.2 is the same except for some bugfixes, which you'll be able to download after install in any case | 19:20 |
| louigi | Ok, I will consider re-installing. This is such BS. | 19:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: this is common practice in all ubuntu variants for quite a few years now | 19:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: bugs happen sadly | 19:20 |
| louigi | pmjdebruijn: Interesting, I have 14.04 and 16.04 and had no issues | 19:20 |
| pmjdebruijn | louigi: i'm not sure how that's relevant | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | regression just happen at some point | 19:21 |
| louigi | Anyway, thank you for your help. Btw, the suggested shortcuts workarounds - what will they do? | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | where and when is arbitrary | 19:21 |
| louigi | Sure | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | install 18.04.1 isn't a workaround | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | it should be a fix | 19:21 |
| louigi | I meant what you initially suggested | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | the bug does not exist in 4.15 kernel, which will be support for the entire 18.04 lifecycle | 19:21 |
| pmjdebruijn | at least if I'm not mistaken | 19:22 |
| brainwash | It's an Xorg thing I'm pretty sure | 19:22 |
| brainwash | with version 1.20 | 19:22 |
| pmjdebruijn | oh well "HWE" thing | 19:22 |
| brainwash | bug 1801609 | 19:23 |
| ubottu | bug 1801609 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Fails to deactivate dpms off mode after user initiated wake-up events(not system-suspended, just locked and dpms active)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1801609 | 19:23 |
| pmjdebruijn | for practical purposes I consider a HWE usually as an inseperately combination of kernel+xorg, although they may be seperable :) | 19:23 |
| louigi | brainwash: Thank you! | 19:32 |
| louigi | pmjdebruijn: Thank you! | 19:32 |
