glitchdanyone else experiencing the bug in vlc 3.0.8  where it launches vlc massibily oversized for the actual screen?08:58
diogenes_glitchd, by default, vlc comes with this annoying option "Resize interface to video size". turn it off and resize the player to your likings.09:03
diogenes_https://i.imgur.com/w3E1hxq.png09:03
glitchdi can because the interface it larger than several of my screens09:03
glitchdwait.. maybe i can if i hold alt and move the screen for days lol09:03
glitchdand its oversized even when its not playing a video09:04
diogenes_try to remove its config dir and start it with no video.09:04
glitchdremove the entire ~/.config/vlc folder?09:07
diogenes_yes09:07
diogenes_or09:07
diogenes_renamwe it09:07
glitchdlol i did that earlier09:07
glitchdits not even there to remove09:08
diogenes_do you have the proper screen resolution btw?09:08
glitchdyes09:08
glitchdi was working on my last system, but i just built and setup a new pc09:08
diogenes_ok if you want we could try a pythin script that will open vlc with the given size.09:08
glitchdi had this problem on the last system too, so i just got an older package of vlc and used that and it fixed everything09:09
glitchdbut thats not helping this time for some odd reason09:09
glitchdim not familiar enough with python to used it09:10
diogenes_glitchd, make sure you have "save session" disabled and clear the previous sessions, that could cause the problem too.09:10
diogenes_and the ythin script is quite easy, you just run the script with: python /path/to/script vlc 10 10 10 1009:10
diogenes_python*09:11
glitchdsave session on logout is already disabled09:11
glitchdgeeze this is irritating09:39
plsrboyhi09:41
diogenes_glitchd, let me know if you wanna try that script.09:42
gnrpplsrboy: hi09:42

plsrboycya09:43
plsrboywell i just wanna say that i am VERY amazed what linux can do. God works in mysterious ways.09:44
plsrboyim a newbie. im a neophyte, who got "acidentally" "converted" from Microsuck-ism to Lin-awesomeness09:45
plsrboyit all started when my PC crashed, and i needed to recover using linux.09:45
plsrboywhich led to me being forced to start using linux09:46
plsrboywhich led to me experimenting with different distros...09:46
plsrboyi might not even bother re-installing the windows OS now, excpet to use specific Apps which are Win only!...09:47
plsrboywell, bye everyone09:47

idopshikIf I go by this - xfconf-query -c keyboard-layout -p /Default/XkbVariant - s us  -it work but deletes my other keymap15:18
idopshikMaybe the qustrion related to the fact - xfce somehow user different keymap for each window. Where can I switch it15:20

idopshikOh GREAT!!! It works!!!15:22
RuudKuinHi all, looking for suggestions... Installed both Xubuntu and CentOS on two seperate netbooks, starting to learn linux sys-admin Do you know of any course/workshop to join? Maybe a good YouTube video course?19:31
RuudKuininstalled Xubuntu, now I need to know where to alter my keyboard, so I don't need to click the Fn-key whenever I use the right-hand side of the keyboard20:20
RuudKuinStill awaiting any reply on my last question20:21
RuudKuinHi all; Had to re-enter this channel, but lost my two earlier psts here, could someone of you tell me where I can check them?20:52
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Try: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23ubuntu.txt // Though I see no response to your last.20:59
RuudKuin@Bashing-om, thx... Can I try that in here? Or do I need to take it to another window?20:59
Bashing-omRuudKuin: ^^ in your browser to see the log :)21:00
RuudKuinAha, it already opened in my browser, thx again Bashing-om21:01
RuudKuinUp unto 19:48, so I probably have to wait another few hours...21:03
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Sure - wish I cpuld relieve some of your anxiety - but best means of learning is doing. Linux operating is very broad and no one book/source can cover it all :P21:04
Bashing-omRuudKuin: "15:21 < RuudKuin> Still awaiting any reply on my last question21:04
Bashing-om" there has been no response since :)21:05
RuudKuinHoped you'd say a thing like such... Already picked a video workshop to use as a starting point21:05
RuudKuinThx Bashing-om21:05
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Plenty of help for specifics - take care though that the info is not outdated - linux moves very fast.21:07
RuudKuinThe video course is using both CentOS and Ubuntu, so it'd be a nice starting point to see the diversity in terminal use being YUM and apt-get, I guess...21:07
RuudKuinAbout specifics... Do many of Linux-users already work with Kubernetes and/or Ansible?21:09
Bashing-omRuudKuin: The Kernel is the Kernel is the Kernel - only differences in systems is the package manager, DE, and default installed apps.21:09
RuudKuinhahah, thx for the extensive answer! ;-)21:10
RuudKuinHow did you learn from start? By book, Udemy?21:11
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Kubernetes: lots of info in the back issues of UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter, i.e :https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue594 ...in the Canonical News section.21:12
RuudKuinGreat URL, thx!21:12
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Oh Boy ! I started long before there were such things as personal computers :P21:13
Bashing-omRuudKuin: Mind back in that day I attended some great schools and courses too:)21:15
RuudKuinBeen more or less a distro-slave myself for a few years, but never felt the urge/desire to dig deeper than the surface, being the desktop. Now I think it's time to take the deep dive21:15
RuudKuinWould be great to find a school of which you speak, night-school i.e.21:16
RuudKuinIn northern parts of Holland they're only little or few21:17
RuudKuinNight-time over here... I'm off, thx for your time and replies! G'Night Bashing-om21:18
Bashing-omRuudKuin: And I came up the other way - to this time I still am not comfortable in a GUI :)21:19
RuudKuinHaha! Felling silly here.. Should have started the other way round!21:20
RuudKuin"FEELING silly"! I meant.   I'm a graphics designer so that's way I came from the desktop-side.21:21
RuudKuinCiao to all!21:24
