=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh [05:25] anybody around? [05:25] how can i change power button functions [05:25] on xubuntu [05:27] draconicice, http://i.imgur.com/TxNJHAP.png [05:28] ah [05:28] well i been there [05:28] xfce power manager [05:28] right [05:28] i actually want to have the power button on push be used to shut off and blank displays [05:28] perhaps ah otkey is better? [05:29] but i wouldn't know what command to run [05:29] to do this [05:30] yes shortcuts or hotkeys is the way to go. [05:30] diogenes_: [05:30] problem is [05:30] when i run xset dpms force off [05:31] one of my 2 monitors shuts off fine [05:31] the other continues to display "Check video cable" [05:31] whereas when the monitors are shutoff via xfce power manager settings, they shut off normally [05:32] then ask in #xfce what is the command that xfce4-power-manager send in order to shut off the displays. [05:35] hi [06:23] friendlyGoat: You have an Intel GPU, nouveau doesn't do anything? [06:23] 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 [06:26] friendlyGoat: nouveau is a driver for Nvidia GPUs, but yours is Intel. nouveau won't do anything [06:27] friendlyGoat: I would rather check the regular things first. E.g., does a regular splash screen work with plymouth? [06:27] oh oops sorry i misinterpreted your message about nouveau earlier today, sorry i was exhausted as hell @gnrp [06:28] 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] hehe [06:28] aaah, ok, now I get it. I thought you would have installed your own one [06:29] what is your kernel parameters when booting? [06:29] I mean, your grub command line [06:31] maybe put your /boot/grub/grub.cfg on pastebin [06:38] didnt see this, i'll get right on it [06:39] https://pastebin.com/EvzFpTEz @gnrp [06:45] friendlyGoat: What does the splash screen at the moment look like? Can you take a photo with a phoen or so? [06:45] does the file /boot/grub/leopard.jpeg exist? [06:48] oh, and did you check out /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ? [06:56] @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 [07:07] any ideas? === Israphel is now known as Guest21080 === Israphel_ is now known as Israphel === jmcgnh_ is now known as jmcgnh [10:17] friendlyGoat: I don't really know what you mean with that [10:17] Does the file /boot/grub/leopard.jpeg exist for you? [10:19] pardon, sorry for describing it badly [10:19] yes it does. [10:19] thats my background on the boot menu when im choosing which os to enter. [10:27] @gnrp (forgot to notify you) [10:31] friendlyGoat: Could it be that your GPU is blacklisted in /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ? [10:52] 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 [14:23] 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 [14:24] I figure it would include building kernels and such [14:25] looks like just a regular arm device. just installed armhf debian/ubuntu and away you go [14:25] no kernel compiling needed [14:37] appa: download it from here: https://ubuntu.com/download/server/arm [14:37] don't worry about the server label, it's fine. just minimal install [14:39] once you get that installed and have a shell, you can run 'apt-get install xfce' as root and should be all set [18:10] Thanks I will try that [18:10] I hope it's that easy [18:11] I'm comfortable adding whatever I need later [18:11] Looks like he's gone [22:46] so I'm not sure if it's going to work that easy [22:46] I'm working out what to do with this: https://github.com/genesi/linux-legacy/
