[00:14] <glitchd> hello all, looking for a bit of help getting vlc to work correctly.
[00:19] <Kumool> glitchd: use mpv instead
[00:19] <Kumool> vlc is terrible
[00:21] <glitchd> thanks, but id rather stick with vlc
[00:21] <Kumool> vlc tries to do everything, ends up failing at everything
[00:21] <Kumool> its a general rule
[00:21] <Kumool> browsers as well
[00:22] <glitchd> not in all the time that ive used it
[00:22] <glitchd> this is the first real issue ive had
[00:22] <Kumool> so whats the issue
[00:22] <Kumool> ask that instead
[00:22] <glitchd> it plays basically everything and is lightweight
[00:22] <glitchd> lol
[00:22] <glitchd> right on
[00:22] <Kumool> its not lightweight
[00:22] <Kumool> but hey, if you like it
[00:23] <glitchd> 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] <glitchd> *super-sized
[00:23] <glitchd> 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] <glitchd> thx anyhow
[00:24] <Kumool> super sized?
[00:24] <Kumool> mmm
[00:24] <glitchd> the gui is extremely oversized
[00:24] <Kumool> xfce does remember window dimensions
[00:24] <glitchd> so much so that i can access any of the controls, and if i go clicking around on it, it just crashes
[00:24] <Kumool> have you tried resizing?
[00:25] <Kumool> ah
[00:25] <glitchd> 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] <glitchd> not just the window is huge, all the parts of the gui itself or rediculously huge
[00:26] <glitchd> but yea im gonna reinstall and hope for a change
[02:31] <glitchd> Kumool, so i figured it out
[02:31] <glitchd> Kumool, its a qt annoyance basically
[02:32] <glitchd> 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] <xubuntu84w> hi
[09:21] <xubuntu84w> want help on requirements
[09:21] <xubuntu84w> i want to replace fedora 9 and file, mail, print servers from a network LAN
[09:21] <xubuntu84w> with Xubuntu
[09:22] <xubuntu84w> I have pentium 1 GHz and 1 gb RAM machines
[09:23] <xubuntu84w> hello
[09:24] <xubuntu84w> \O/
[09:39] <Spass> I wanted to change the text file coding from WINDOWS-1250 to UTF-8, seems like Mousepad lacks that feature?
[09:41] <well_laid_lawn> Spass:  I think that would be a system wide setting not just in mousepad
[09:42] <well_laid_lawn> or mousepad uses the system wide setting
[09:42] <Spass> Leafpad can do that without a problem using "Save as", then I can choose a specific coding for the file
[09:44] <well_laid_lawn> yes I had it wrong - it's what the file is already encoded as that counts
[09:46] <Spass> it's not important, but too bad Mousepad lacks that feature, anyway, I'll use Geany (or Leafpad) for that purpose
[09:46] <well_laid_lawn> I use leafpad
[09:47] <well_laid_lawn> easier to set the tab width
[09:53] <Spass> yeah, I was using Leafpad before, maybe I should go back
[09:58] <Spass> seems like Leafpad has it's own issue on 18.04, it doesn't work with "pkexec" out of the box
[09:58] <Spass> I guess I'd need to manually some policies
[10:12] <diogenes_> Spass, what about: pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY leafpad /etc/environment
[10:14] <Spass> 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] <ubu> I'm trying to learn how to get rid of systemd.
[15:26] <Adab> 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] <diogenes_> Adab, could you pastebin: inxi -F
[16:49] <aaksjdhjasdj> Hello
[16:50] <aaksjdhjasdj> Is it ohkay to switch to the development version of Xubuntu for normal usage
[16:51] <aaksjdhjasdj> The packages are bit out-dated :(
[16:54] <brainwash> aaksjdhjasdj: if you have to ask that, probably no
[16:55] <brainwash> are you using 19.04 right now?
[16:55] <brainwash> if yes, you will be able to upgrade to 19.10 in like a month
[16:56] <aaksjdhjasdj> brainwash I'm using 18.04 Actually
[16:58] <aaksjdhjasdj> 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] <brainwash> depends on what you want to have up-to-date
[17:00] <aaksjdhjasdj> Hmm, well. text-editors and browsers atleast
[17:01] <aaksjdhjasdj> Rest all can still be managed. And PPAs aren't that trustworthy right.
[17:01] <brainwash> web browsers should be on the latest version anyway
[17:01] <brainwash> due to security reasons
[17:02] <brainwash> PPAs are managed by 3rd parties, yes
[17:02] <swift110> sup folks
[17:02] <swift110> 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] <brainwash> aaksjdhjasdj: however, often the developers directly offer a PPA
[17:03] <aaksjdhjasdj> Some of them, and some of them don't
[17:04] <brainwash> that is how it is
[17:04] <aaksjdhjasdj> Anyways, I'll try out the development branch
[17:04] <brainwash> good luck with that
[17:05] <aaksjdhjasdj> Just was curious to know if anyone uses it as a daily driver
[17:05] <brainwash> it's not my main system, but I do use it for development
[17:06] <brainwash> you'll get many package updates on a daily basis
[17:06] <brainwash> especially if you install a wide range of software
[17:06] <brainwash> different toolkits and so on
[17:09] <aaksjdhjasdj> I just try it out then.
