[08:19] <tomo5> hello
[08:58] <glitchd> anyone else experiencing the bug in vlc 3.0.8  where it launches vlc massibily oversized for the actual screen?
[09:03] <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.png
[09:03] <glitchd> i can because the interface it larger than several of my screens
[09:03] <glitchd> wait.. maybe i can if i hold alt and move the screen for days lol
[09:04] <glitchd> and its oversized even when its not playing a video
[09:04] <diogenes_> try to remove its config dir and start it with no video.
[09:07] <glitchd> remove the entire ~/.config/vlc folder?
[09:07] <diogenes_> yes
[09:07] <diogenes_> or
[09:07] <diogenes_> renamwe it
[09:07] <glitchd> lol i did that earlier
[09:08] <glitchd> its not even there to remove
[09:08] <diogenes_> do you have the proper screen resolution btw?
[09:08] <glitchd> yes
[09:08] <glitchd> i was working on my last system, but i just built and setup a new pc
[09:08] <diogenes_> ok if you want we could try a pythin script that will open vlc with the given size.
[09:09] <glitchd> i had this problem on the last system too, so i just got an older package of vlc and used that and it fixed everything
[09:09] <glitchd> but thats not helping this time for some odd reason
[09:10] <glitchd> im not familiar enough with python to used it
[09:10] <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 10
[09:11] <diogenes_> python*
[09:11] <glitchd> save session on logout is already disabled
[09:39] <glitchd> geeze this is irritating
[09:41] <plsrboy> hi
[09:42] <diogenes_> glitchd, let me know if you wanna try that script.
[09:42] <gnrp> plsrboy: hi
[09:43] <glitchd> diogenes_, i think im giving up for tonight and just going to bed.
[09:43] <glitchd> thx anyways..
[09:43] <diogenes_> ok sleep well then.
[09:43] <glitchd> adios everyone
[09:43] <glitchd> thx
[09:43] <plsrboy> cya
[09:44] <plsrboy> well i just wanna say that i am VERY amazed what linux can do. God works in mysterious ways.
[09:45] <plsrboy> im a newbie. im a neophyte, who got "acidentally" "converted" from Microsuck-ism to Lin-awesomeness
[09:45] <plsrboy> it all started when my PC crashed, and i needed to recover using linux.
[09:46] <plsrboy> which led to me being forced to start using linux
[09:46] <plsrboy> which led to me experimenting with different distros...
[09:47] <plsrboy> i might not even bother re-installing the windows OS now, excpet to use specific Apps which are Win only!...
[09:47] <plsrboy> well, bye everyone
[09:48] <plsrboy> +AFK+
[15:17] <idopshik> how can I change my keyboard layout to US from terminal?
[15:18] <idopshik> If I go by this - xfconf-query -c keyboard-layout -p /Default/XkbVariant - s us  -it work but deletes my other keymap
[15:20] <idopshik> Maybe the qustrion related to the fact - xfce somehow user different keymap for each window. Where can I switch it

[15:22] <idopshik> Oh GREAT!!! It works!!!
[19:31] <RuudKuin> Hi 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?
[20:20] <RuudKuin> installed 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 keyboard
[20:21] <RuudKuin> Still awaiting any reply on my last question
[20:52] <RuudKuin> Hi 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?
[20:59] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: 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?
[21:00] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: ^^ in your browser to see the log :)
[21:01] <RuudKuin> Aha, it already opened in my browser, thx again Bashing-om
[21:03] <RuudKuin> Up unto 19:48, so I probably have to wait another few hours...
[21:04] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: 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 :P
[21:04] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: "15:21 < RuudKuin> Still awaiting any reply on my last question
[21:05] <Bashing-om> " there has been no response since :)
[21:05] <RuudKuin> Hoped you'd say a thing like such... Already picked a video workshop to use as a starting point
[21:05] <RuudKuin> Thx Bashing-om
[21:07] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: Plenty of help for specifics - take care though that the info is not outdated - linux moves very fast.
[21:07] <RuudKuin> The 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...
[21:09] <RuudKuin> About specifics... Do many of Linux-users already work with Kubernetes and/or Ansible?
[21:09] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: The Kernel is the Kernel is the Kernel - only differences in systems is the package manager, DE, and default installed apps.
[21:10] <RuudKuin> hahah, thx for the extensive answer! ;-)
[21:11] <RuudKuin> How did you learn from start? By book, Udemy?
[21:12] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: 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] <RuudKuin> Great URL, thx!
[21:13] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: Oh Boy ! I started long before there were such things as personal computers :P
[21:15] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: Mind back in that day I attended some great schools and courses too:)
[21:15] <RuudKuin> Been 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 dive
[21:16] <RuudKuin> Would be great to find a school of which you speak, night-school i.e.
[21:17] <RuudKuin> In northern parts of Holland they're only little or few
[21:18] <RuudKuin> Night-time over here... I'm off, thx for your time and replies! G'Night Bashing-om
[21:19] <Bashing-om> RuudKuin: And I came up the other way - to this time I still am not comfortable in a GUI :)
[21:20] <RuudKuin> Haha! Felling silly here.. Should have started the other way round!
[21:21] <RuudKuin> "FEELING silly"! I meant.   I'm a graphics designer so that's way I came from the desktop-side.
[21:24] <RuudKuin> Ciao to all!
