| draconicice | anybody around? | 05:25 |
|---|---|---|
| draconicice | how can i change power button functions | 05:25 |
| draconicice | on xubuntu | 05:25 |
| diogenes_ | draconicice, http://i.imgur.com/TxNJHAP.png | 05:27 |
| draconicice | ah | 05:28 |
| draconicice | well i been there | 05:28 |
| draconicice | xfce power manager | 05:28 |
| diogenes_ | right | 05:28 |
| draconicice | i actually want to have the power button on push be used to shut off and blank displays | 05:28 |
| draconicice | perhaps ah otkey is better? | 05:28 |
| draconicice | but i wouldn't know what command to run | 05:29 |
| draconicice | to do this | 05:29 |
| diogenes_ | yes shortcuts or hotkeys is the way to go. | 05:30 |
| draconicice | diogenes_: | 05:30 |
| draconicice | problem is | 05:30 |
| draconicice | when i run xset dpms force off | 05:30 |
| draconicice | one of my 2 monitors shuts off fine | 05:31 |
| draconicice | the other continues to display "Check video cable" | 05:31 |
| draconicice | whereas when the monitors are shutoff via xfce power manager settings, they shut off normally | 05:31 |
| diogenes_ | then ask in #xfce what is the command that xfce4-power-manager send in order to shut off the displays. | 05:32 |
| pirog | hi | 05:35 |
| gnrp | friendlyGoat: You have an Intel GPU, nouveau doesn't do anything? | 06:23 |
| friendlyGoat | gnrp: i gotta install it, i accidentally procrastinated a bit but i might need help with it due to it not having a release for 19.04 | 06:23 |
| gnrp | friendlyGoat: nouveau is a driver for Nvidia GPUs, but yours is Intel. nouveau won't do anything | 06:26 |
| gnrp | friendlyGoat: I would rather check the regular things first. E.g., does a regular splash screen work with plymouth? | 06:27 |
| friendlyGoat | oh oops sorry i misinterpreted your message about nouveau earlier today, sorry i was exhausted as hell @gnrp | 06:27 |
| friendlyGoat | i had a regular splash screen but now its super simple after an update. my splash is normal when turning my computer off but its super simple when im boot up | 06:28 |
| gnrp | hehe | 06:28 |
| gnrp | aaah, ok, now I get it. I thought you would have installed your own one | 06:28 |
| gnrp | what is your kernel parameters when booting? | 06:29 |
| gnrp | I mean, your grub command line | 06:29 |
| gnrp | maybe put your /boot/grub/grub.cfg on pastebin | 06:31 |
| friendlyGoat | didnt see this, i'll get right on it | 06:38 |
| friendlyGoat | https://pastebin.com/EvzFpTEz @gnrp | 06:39 |
| gnrp | friendlyGoat: What does the splash screen at the moment look like? Can you take a photo with a phoen or so? | 06:45 |
| gnrp | does the file /boot/grub/leopard.jpeg exist? | 06:45 |
| gnrp | oh, and did you check out /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ? | 06:48 |
| friendlyGoat | @gnrp the grub menu exists and is the default mac wallpaper from 2006 but once i start xubuntu itself instead of the normal splash screen that says XUBUNTU in nice big letters i just get it in plain text with little squares under it | 06:56 |
| friendlyGoat | any ideas? | 07:07 |

| gnrp | friendlyGoat: I don't really know what you mean with that | 10:17 |
| gnrp | Does the file /boot/grub/leopard.jpeg exist for you? | 10:17 |
| friendlyGoat | pardon, sorry for describing it badly | 10:19 |
| friendlyGoat | yes it does. | 10:19 |
| friendlyGoat | thats my background on the boot menu when im choosing which os to enter. | 10:19 |
| friendlyGoat | @gnrp (forgot to notify you) | 10:27 |
| gnrp | friendlyGoat: Could it be that your GPU is blacklisted in /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ? | 10:31 |
| friendlyGoat | i used cat to view that, where would i see my gpu? i just see strings of numbers and letters with a * next to them @gnrp | 10:52 |
| appa | I have an https://genesi.company/products/smartbook that is very unsupported these days. I'd like to learn what I'd need to keep it going with a modern xubuntu or maybe debian | 14:23 |
| appa | I figure it would include building kernels and such | 14:24 |
| CorvetteZR1 | looks like just a regular arm device. just installed armhf debian/ubuntu and away you go | 14:25 |
| CorvetteZR1 | no kernel compiling needed | 14:25 |
| CorvetteZR1 | appa: download it from here: https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm | 14:37 |
| CorvetteZR1 | don't worry about the server label, it's fine. just minimal install | 14:37 |
| CorvetteZR1 | once you get that installed and have a shell, you can run 'apt-get install xfce' as root and should be all set | 14:39 |
| appa | Thanks I will try that | 18:10 |
| appa | I hope it's that easy | 18:10 |
| appa | I'm comfortable adding whatever I need later | 18:11 |
| appa | Looks like he's gone | 18:11 |
| appa | so I'm not sure if it's going to work that easy | 22:46 |
| appa | I'm working out what to do with this: https://github.com/genesi/linux-legacy/ | 22:46 |
