=== pikapika_lunar_a is now known as pikapika [08:19] hello [08:58] anyone else experiencing the bug in vlc 3.0.8 where it launches vlc massibily oversized for the actual screen? [09:03] 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] https://i.imgur.com/w3E1hxq.png [09:03] i can because the interface it larger than several of my screens [09:03] wait.. maybe i can if i hold alt and move the screen for days lol [09:04] and its oversized even when its not playing a video [09:04] try to remove its config dir and start it with no video. [09:07] remove the entire ~/.config/vlc folder? [09:07] yes [09:07] or [09:07] renamwe it [09:07] lol i did that earlier [09:08] its not even there to remove [09:08] do you have the proper screen resolution btw? [09:08] yes [09:08] i was working on my last system, but i just built and setup a new pc [09:08] ok if you want we could try a pythin script that will open vlc with the given size. [09:09] 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] but thats not helping this time for some odd reason [09:10] im not familiar enough with python to used it [09:10] glitchd, make sure you have "save session" disabled and clear the previous sessions, that could cause the problem too. [09:10] and the ythin script is quite easy, you just run the script with: python /path/to/script vlc 10 10 10 10 [09:11] python* [09:11] save session on logout is already disabled [09:39] geeze this is irritating [09:41] hi [09:42] glitchd, let me know if you wanna try that script. [09:42] plsrboy: hi [09:43] diogenes_, i think im giving up for tonight and just going to bed. [09:43] thx anyways.. [09:43] ok sleep well then. [09:43] adios everyone [09:43] thx [09:43] cya [09:44] well i just wanna say that i am VERY amazed what linux can do. God works in mysterious ways. [09:45] im a newbie. im a neophyte, who got "acidentally" "converted" from Microsuck-ism to Lin-awesomeness [09:45] it all started when my PC crashed, and i needed to recover using linux. [09:46] which led to me being forced to start using linux [09:46] which led to me experimenting with different distros... [09:47] i might not even bother re-installing the windows OS now, excpet to use specific Apps which are Win only!... [09:47] well, bye everyone [09:48] +AFK+ === genii_ is now known as genii [15:17] how can I change my keyboard layout to US from terminal? [15:18] If I go by this - xfconf-query -c keyboard-layout -p /Default/XkbVariant - s us -it work but deletes my other keymap [15:20] Maybe the qustrion related to the fact - xfce somehow user different keymap for each window. Where can I switch it [15:20] https://askubuntu.com/questions/155424/changing-tty-keyboard-layout-on-a-server [15:22] Oh GREAT!!! It works!!! [19:31] 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] 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] Still awaiting any reply on my last question [20:52] 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] RuudKuin: Try: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/latest/%23ubuntu.txt // Though I see no response to your last. [20:59] @Bashing-om, thx... Can I try that in here? Or do I need to take it to another window? [21:00] RuudKuin: ^^ in your browser to see the log :) [21:01] Aha, it already opened in my browser, thx again Bashing-om [21:03] Up unto 19:48, so I probably have to wait another few hours... [21:04] 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] RuudKuin: "15:21 < RuudKuin> Still awaiting any reply on my last question [21:05] " there has been no response since :) [21:05] Hoped you'd say a thing like such... Already picked a video workshop to use as a starting point [21:05] Thx Bashing-om [21:07] RuudKuin: Plenty of help for specifics - take care though that the info is not outdated - linux moves very fast. [21:07] 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] About specifics... Do many of Linux-users already work with Kubernetes and/or Ansible? [21:09] RuudKuin: The Kernel is the Kernel is the Kernel - only differences in systems is the package manager, DE, and default installed apps. [21:10] hahah, thx for the extensive answer! ;-) [21:11] How did you learn from start? By book, Udemy? [21:12] 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] Great URL, thx! [21:13] RuudKuin: Oh Boy ! I started long before there were such things as personal computers :P [21:15] RuudKuin: Mind back in that day I attended some great schools and courses too:) [21:15] 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] Would be great to find a school of which you speak, night-school i.e. [21:17] In northern parts of Holland they're only little or few [21:18] Night-time over here... I'm off, thx for your time and replies! G'Night Bashing-om [21:19] RuudKuin: And I came up the other way - to this time I still am not comfortable in a GUI :) [21:20] Haha! Felling silly here.. Should have started the other way round! [21:21] "FEELING silly"! I meant. I'm a graphics designer so that's way I came from the desktop-side. [21:24] Ciao to all!
