[05:25] <draconicice> anybody around?
[05:25] <draconicice> how can i change power button functions
[05:25] <draconicice> on xubuntu
[05:27] <diogenes_> draconicice, http://i.imgur.com/TxNJHAP.png
[05:28] <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?
[05:29] <draconicice> but i wouldn't know what command to run
[05:29] <draconicice> to do this
[05:30] <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
[05:31] <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
[05:32] <diogenes_> then ask in #xfce what is the command that xfce4-power-manager send in order to shut off the displays.
[05:35] <pirog> hi
[06:23] <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
[06:26] <gnrp> friendlyGoat: nouveau is a driver for Nvidia GPUs, but yours is Intel. nouveau won't do anything
[06:27] <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
[06:28] <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
[06:29] <gnrp> what is your kernel parameters when booting?
[06:29] <gnrp> I mean, your grub command line
[06:31] <gnrp> maybe put your /boot/grub/grub.cfg on pastebin
[06:38] <friendlyGoat> didnt see this, i'll get right on it
[06:39] <friendlyGoat> https://pastebin.com/EvzFpTEz @gnrp
[06:45] <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?
[06:48] <gnrp> oh, and did you check out /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ?
[06:56] <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
[07:07] <friendlyGoat> any ideas?
[10:17] <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?
[10:19] <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.
[10:27] <friendlyGoat> @gnrp (forgot to notify you)
[10:31] <gnrp> friendlyGoat: Could it be that your GPU is blacklisted in /boot/grub/gfxblacklist.txt ?
[10:52] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <appa> I figure it would include building kernels and such
[14:25] <CorvetteZR1> looks like just a regular arm device.  just installed armhf debian/ubuntu and away you go
[14:25] <CorvetteZR1> no kernel compiling needed
[14:37] <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
[14:39] <CorvetteZR1> 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] <appa> Thanks I will try that
[18:10] <appa> I hope it's that easy
[18:11] <appa> I'm comfortable adding whatever I need later
[18:11] <appa> Looks like he's gone
[22:46] <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/
