[00:14] hello all, looking for a bit of help getting vlc to work correctly. [00:19] glitchd: use mpv instead [00:19] vlc is terrible [00:21] thanks, but id rather stick with vlc [00:21] vlc tries to do everything, ends up failing at everything [00:21] its a general rule [00:21] browsers as well [00:22] not in all the time that ive used it [00:22] this is the first real issue ive had [00:22] so whats the issue [00:22] ask that instead [00:22] it plays basically everything and is lightweight [00:22] lol [00:22] right on [00:22] its not lightweight [00:22] but hey, if you like it [00:23] the issue is that either it opens but doesnt show on the screen, or it opens and the interface is unusable because its super-sied on my screen. [00:23] *super-sized [00:23] actually dont even worry about it, im about to reinstall anyways, so ill deal with it when i get back to this point. [00:23] thx anyhow [00:24] super sized? [00:24] mmm [00:24] the gui is extremely oversized [00:24] xfce does remember window dimensions [00:24] so much so that i can access any of the controls, and if i go clicking around on it, it just crashes [00:24] have you tried resizing? [00:25] ah [00:25] yes i have, i can only resize it so small before it stops letting my resize it, but even then its wildly oversized [00:25] not just the window is huge, all the parts of the gui itself or rediculously huge [00:26] but yea im gonna reinstall and hope for a change === krytarik is now known as Guest15304 === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [02:31] Kumool, so i figured it out [02:31] Kumool, its a qt annoyance basically [02:32] Kumool, to have it launch in the correct size and aspect ratio, i have to use this command: QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 vlc [09:20] hi [09:21] want help on requirements [09:21] i want to replace fedora 9 and file, mail, print servers from a network LAN [09:21] with Xubuntu [09:22] I have pentium 1 GHz and 1 gb RAM machines [09:23] hello [09:24] \O/ [09:39] I wanted to change the text file coding from WINDOWS-1250 to UTF-8, seems like Mousepad lacks that feature? [09:41] Spass: I think that would be a system wide setting not just in mousepad [09:42] or mousepad uses the system wide setting [09:42] Leafpad can do that without a problem using "Save as", then I can choose a specific coding for the file [09:44] yes I had it wrong - it's what the file is already encoded as that counts [09:46] it's not important, but too bad Mousepad lacks that feature, anyway, I'll use Geany (or Leafpad) for that purpose [09:46] I use leafpad [09:47] easier to set the tab width [09:53] yeah, I was using Leafpad before, maybe I should go back [09:58] seems like Leafpad has it's own issue on 18.04, it doesn't work with "pkexec" out of the box [09:58] I guess I'd need to manually some policies [10:12] Spass, what about: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY leafpad /etc/environment [10:14] not sure, Leafpad is no longer on my system ;) got back to Mousepad, I'll use Geany to change the file coding when needed (so not too often) [13:08] I'm trying to learn how to get rid of systemd. [15:26] Hello , i have installed xubuntu in my new pc (dell G3 ) , my OS did not detect my hdmi port , can any one helps me ? [15:33] Adab, could you pastebin: inxi -F [16:49] Hello [16:50] Is it ohkay to switch to the development version of Xubuntu for normal usage [16:51] The packages are bit out-dated :( [16:54] aaksjdhjasdj: if you have to ask that, probably no [16:55] are you using 19.04 right now? [16:55] if yes, you will be able to upgrade to 19.10 in like a month [16:56] brainwash I'm using 18.04 Actually [16:58] Or else what's your usual method of getting up-to-date packages. lnstfalling build dependencies consumes a lot of space and time. [17:00] depends on what you want to have up-to-date [17:00] Hmm, well. text-editors and browsers atleast [17:01] Rest all can still be managed. And PPAs aren't that trustworthy right. [17:01] web browsers should be on the latest version anyway [17:01] due to security reasons [17:02] PPAs are managed by 3rd parties, yes [17:02] sup folks [17:02] Client: HexChat 2.14.2 • OS: Ubuntu "bionic" 18.04 • CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5600 @ 1.83GHz (1.83GHz) • Memory: Physical: 2.9 GiB Total (1.3 GiB Free) Swap: 2.0 GiB Total (2.0 GiB Free) • Storage: 0 bytes / 0 bytes (0 bytes Free) • Uptime: 9m 20s [17:03] aaksjdhjasdj: however, often the developers directly offer a PPA [17:03] Some of them, and some of them don't [17:04] that is how it is [17:04] Anyways, I'll try out the development branch [17:04] good luck with that [17:05] Just was curious to know if anyone uses it as a daily driver [17:05] it's not my main system, but I do use it for development [17:06] you'll get many package updates on a daily basis [17:06] especially if you install a wide range of software [17:06] different toolkits and so on [17:09] I just try it out then.
