[06:16] <motaka2> I am using lubuntu 16.04. Since 3 hours ago that I restarted my laptop, none of my usb ports work. for example my mouse does not work. but usb thetering works. Does any one know how I can fix this?
[06:20] <guiverc> motaka2, Lubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu, as such it only comes with 3 years of support; 16.04 LTS is EOL, so you should release-upgrade ASAP.  (kylin in 16.04 had 5 years, there are exceptions on occasion)
[06:20] <tomreyn> !crosspost | motaka2
[06:21] <guiverc> thanks tomreyn , I hadn't noticed..
[06:22] <guiverc> motaka2, 16.04 Lubuntu release statement - https://lubuntu.me/xenial-released/  "supported until April 2019, with three years of support."
[06:22] <tomreyn> guiverc: that's why i'm pointing it out ;)
[08:40] <brunch875> Hi! Giving lxqt a shot. I'm trying to change alt-click to super-click to handle windows. I modified .config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml but it seems the "global actions manager" shortcuts (which handle the sound volume hotkeys) are capturing the super key before it reaches those binds
[08:40] <brunch875> Does anyone have experience with this?
[08:40] <lynorian> yes that is the case
[08:41] <brunch875> Is it then possible to do what I want to do without unbinding super for the launcher menu?
 @brunch875 [<brunch875> Hi! Giving lxqt a shot. I'm trying to change alt-click to super-clic …], I honestly think changing ti from super would proably be easiest if you want super in openbox stuff
[08:43] <brunch875> hmmm guess I could change the launcher from super to ctrl-super :s
[08:47] <brunch875> hmmm not really working out. Does the global actions manager have some configuration files?
[09:03] <brunch875> aha found it .config/lxqt/globalkeyshortcuts.conf
[10:48] <lutinmalin> hi!
[10:49] <lutinmalin> is this the right place to ask for help?
[10:50] <diogenes_> !ask
[10:53] <lutinmalin> I installed the latest Lubuntu and after going into the settings and enabling battery monitoring, I get a message saying Lxqt power management doesn't find any battery. I'd appreciate some help.
[10:59] <tomreyn> lutinmalin: your hardwares' sensors or acpi data could not be access entirely. how to proceed can depend on the hardware you have there.
[11:01] <tomreyn> lutinmalin: i suggest you look into lm-sensors and its sensors-detect script as well as into laptop vendor specific software packages such as tlp, and also check your systemd journal for warnings and errors.
[11:58] <Lutinmalin> @tomreyn thanks for the tips. lshw detects the battery, but that's the only one. Here's the related systemd entry:   ofonod[972]: enum_devices_reply: no battery detected
[12:00] <Lutinmalin> my laptop is an HP tablet pc
[12:05] <Lutinmalin> I installed lm-sensors and ran sensors-detect, but I don't see anything about battery. the only thing found is an "intel digital thermal sensor".
[12:11] <Lutinmalin> Before that, I tried Fedora 30. It was too heavy for my laptop but the battery monitoring worked fine. Any way I can import the Fedora software on Lubuntu?
[12:18] <diogenes_> Lutinmalin, see if upower is installed also pastebin: cat /etc/defaul/grub
[12:21] <Lutinmalin> diogenes_: muon says upower is installed. https://pastebin.com/d7ryVxJv
[12:23] <diogenes_> Lutinmalin, now pastebin: inxi -F
[12:29] <Lutinmalin> diogenes_: https://pastebin.com/4dx9EWAB nothing about battery :/
[12:32] <diogenes_> are you able to reduce screenbrightness with keyboard?
[12:32] <Lutinmalin> function keys work, yes
[12:42] <diogenes_> Lutinmalin, yeah, no luck: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1606159
[12:42] <diogenes_> also here: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Battery-recognition-Linux/td-p/7040710
[12:43] <diogenes_> only fedora and OpenSUSE work.
[12:49] <Lutinmalin> battery died sry, did I miss anything?
 Lutinmalin, yeah, no luck: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upower/+bug/1606159

[14:15] <WiseMonk> Hello guys, i have created new user on lubuntu 18.04 and now it asks me for keyring password  when I connect to wifi
[14:15] <WiseMonk> how can I set it to use the login keyring instead?
[14:20] <WiseMonk> I starte from terminal vial "seahorse" command,it doenst list a login keyring
[14:42] <tomreyn> quote from #ubuntu: <WiseMonk> lotuspsychje I just solved the problem, by creating an admin-user instead of desktop-user, seems to be a bug in Lubuntu 18.04
[14:48] <WiseMonk> yeah seems like creating a "Desktop user" doesnt set him to use the login keyring for network passwords by default. both creating by gui settings and by adduser
[17:09] <B|ack0p> hi. i just installed lubuntu
[17:09] <B|ack0p> also i installed gnome classic desktop but i cant see option to select desktop at login screen
[17:18] <diogenes_> B|ack0p, ls /usr/bin | grep gnome
[17:19] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: thx i am trying
[17:19] <diogenes_> do you see gnome-shell?
[17:19] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: i see gnome session
[17:19] <B|ack0p> not shell
[17:20] <diogenes_> right now
[17:20] <diogenes_> ls /usr/share/xsessions
[17:21] <B|ack0p> gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop    Lubuntu.desktop
[17:21] <B|ack0p> gnome-flashback-metacity.desktop  openbox.desktop
[17:21] <diogenes_> and which of those you see in the login manager?
[17:22] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: it doesnt show anything at login manager
[17:22] <diogenes_> is it sddm?
[17:22] <B|ack0p> it doesnt give any option to choose desktop
[17:22] <B|ack0p> not sure.
[17:22] <B|ack0p> i am new on lubuntu
[17:24] <diogenes_> B|ack0p, systemctl status sddm
[17:24] <diogenes_> what do you get?
[17:24] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: $ systemctl status sddm
[17:24] <B|ack0p> Unit sddm.service could not be found.
[17:25] <diogenes_> ok let;s see this: cat /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:25] <diogenes_> you gonna get a link in terminal, share it here
[17:25] <B|ack0p> as root?
[17:25] <diogenes_> no
[17:26] <B|ack0p> https://termbin.com/rny9
[17:27] <diogenes_> also paste here the output of: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[17:27] <B|ack0p> ok
[17:27] <B|ack0p> /usr/sbin/lightdm
[17:28] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: i am on T60 remember me? :p
[17:28] <B|ack0p> old thinkpad t60
[17:28] <B|ack0p> i am trying possible linux distros to be able to use on this old laptop
[17:28] <diogenes_> ok you can try this, log out and ctrl+alt+f1, login int hat shell and run: gnome-session
[17:29] <B|ack0p> ok
[17:29] <B|ack0p> brb
[17:31] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: i did but i couldnt get back to login screen
[17:31] <B|ack0p> i did ctrl alt del and it rebooted
[17:31] <B|ack0p> nothing happened when i did gnome-session on new terminal at login
[17:32] <diogenes_> then this one: /usr/lib/gnome-session/run-systemd-session gnome-session-flashback.target
[17:32] <diogenes_> btw
[17:32] <diogenes_> you can specify this in grub linux line: systemd.unit=multiuser-target
[17:33] <B|ack0p> should i install gnome-shell instead of session flashback?
[17:34] <diogenes_> no clue, i never installed gnome, https://askubuntu.com/questions/110516/is-there-a-way-to-install-unity-or-gnome-shell-along-with-lubuntu
[17:34] <B|ack0p> hmm
[17:35] <B|ack0p> diogenes_: may i ask what desktop do you use and which distro?
[17:35] <B|ack0p> debian?
[17:36] <diogenes_> dual booting Debian/openSUSE XFCE.
[17:36] <B|ack0p> xfce is not for me.. it looks very ugly and buggy :/
[17:37] <B|ack0p> in other hand gnome is tooo source hungry
[17:37] <B|ack0p> slow
[17:37] <diogenes_> it's highly customizable but to each his own.
[17:37] <B|ack0p> maybe but i couldnt succeed about it
[17:37] <B|ack0p> let me try gnome-shell
[17:37] <B|ack0p> brb
[17:56] <B|ack0p> no luck.. i cant choose desktop option at login screen
[19:37] <freelancerbob> hey need help with autologin
[19:37] <freelancerbob> does not work on my lubuntu
[19:39] <kc2bez> which version freelancerbob ?
[19:39] <freelancerbob> 18.04
[19:40] <freelancerbob> i do not know what do i have to change
[19:40] <freelancerbob> drwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Oct  6 21:19 lightdm.conf.ddrwxr-xr-x   2 root root  4096 Oct  6 21:21 lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d-rw-r--r--   1 root root   463 Oct  6 21:07 users.conf
[19:40] <freelancerbob> in my /etc/lightdm
[19:41] <freelancerbob> nothing helped :/
[19:45] <kc2bez> What do you have in the `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/` directory?
[19:47] <freelancerbob> 20-lubuntu.conf
[19:47] <freelancerbob> and in the file is:
[19:47] <freelancerbob> user-session=Lubuntugreeter-session=unity-greeter
[19:50] <tomreyn> "unity-greeter"? this sounds wrong on 18.04.
[19:50] <kc2bez> Can you pastebin the file? There should be a heading in there too.
[19:50] <freelancerbob> it was upgraded from 16.04
[19:51] <freelancerbob> https://pastebin.com/cXfhfhJW
[19:58] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Changing_the_Greeter states that greeter-session should be set to the name of a /usr/share/xgreeters/*.desktop file
[19:58] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: ls -l /usr/share/xgreeters/*.desktop      returns what?
[19:59] <tomreyn> it also discusses how to automate the login https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Setting_an_Automatic_Login
[20:00] <freelancerbob> https://pastebin.com/Gsx3PRXw
[20:00] <tomreyn> so you'd just add:    autologin-user=freelancerbob
[20:00] <freelancerbob> into which file ?
[20:01] <tomreyn> this can go into 20-lubuntu.conf
[20:01] <tomreyn> so /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf
[20:01] <freelancerbob> i will back ater reboot
[20:04] <freelancerbob> did not helped
[20:04] <freelancerbob> :/
[20:04] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: and set    greeter-session=lightdm-greeter
[20:04] <tomreyn> did you replace "freelancerbob" in autologin-user=freelancerbob by your actual system user anme?
[20:05] <tomreyn> ...since oyu need to
[20:05] <freelancerbob> yes i replaced it to bob
[20:05] <freelancerbob> my user
[20:05] <freelancerbob> i will change greeter-session
[20:06] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: oh wait, you may also need to rename the file
[20:06] <freelancerbob> which one
[20:07] <tomreyn> give me a minute
[20:10] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: nah should be fin, no need to renma eit, i think
[20:11] <tomreyn> *no need to rename it
[20:11] <tomreyn> freelancerbob: but install package lightdm-autologin-greeter
[20:13] <tomreyn> then edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/lightdm-autologin-greeter.conf and replace "AUTOLOGIN-USER-NOT-CONFIGURED" by "bob"
[20:13] <freelancerbob> from here ? https://github.com/spanezz/lightdm-autologin-greeter
[20:13] <tomreyn> no, from lubuntu's apt based software repositories. sudo apt update && sudo apt install lightdm-autologin-greeter
[20:15] <tomreyn> then remove (or comment out all lines in) /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/20-lubuntu.conf
[20:16] <freelancerbob> ok, reboot
[20:23] <tomreyn> hmm, no bob, i guess i broke it for good.
[20:23] <tomreyn> this might be a good time to sneak to bed. see you!
[20:28] <freelancerbob> thanks it worked
[20:29] <freelancerbob> next question: Is there any brightness default control ?after every restart a need to set brightness
[20:46] <freelancerbob> when i open pavucontrol i have got this: (pavucontrol:5828): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:46:30.278: Theme parsing error: gtk-lubuntu.css:250:29: The :insensitive pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :disabled instead.
[21:20] <freelancerbob> any help with brightness issue ? After every reboot i have set 50% brigtness level
[22:40] <xrandr> Hi. I currently have Ubuntu 19.04, but want to do a fresh install of Lubuntu 19.04 on my laptop via USB stick.  How do I burn the ISO to USB?
[22:41] <xrandr> nevernmind, found startup disk
[22:42] <kc2bez> xrandr: Startup disk creator should work well.
[22:42] <xrandr> Yep. Using it  ;)
[22:42] <xrandr> waiting for it to complete
[22:43] <kc2bez> Enjoy :)
[22:44] <xrandr> ty
[22:48] <xrandr> brb -- installing
[23:04] <xrandr> Hello. I just installed Lubuntu on my laptop. I can't log in to it.  It just freezes at the login screen
[23:05] <xrandr> What can I do?
[23:06] <kc2bez> You can try a CTRL-ALT-F3 to see if it takes you to a command prompt.
[23:08] <kc2bez> Technically an alternate TTY https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/167386/how-to-switch-between-tty-and-xorg-session
[23:09] <xrandr> no
[23:09] <xrandr> just frozen
[23:09] <xrandr> lemme reboot and see if i can
[23:09] <kc2bez> Ok, out of curiosity what do you have for a system?
[23:10] <xrandr> HP ZBook
[23:10] <xrandr> I do have the filesystem encrypted
[23:11] <xrandr> Even after rebooting and not entering the user's password, and hitting ctrl alt f3, it freezes
[23:13] <xrandr> I re-downloaded the ISO, and burning it back to USB. Going to try a re-install and not encrypt the filesystem
[23:13] <kc2bez> Weird. By any chance did you check the hashes on the iso?
[23:13] <xrandr> No, i didn't. I am re-downloading it now
[23:14] <kc2bez> It is best to check the hashes. The image may install but if it is even 1 bit off you will get odd results.
[23:17] <xrandr> okay
[23:20] <xrandr> Should I not encrypt the filesystem?
[23:21] <kc2bez> Encryption should work fine.
[23:22] <xrandr> can I encrypt the filesystem post-install?
[23:22] <kc2bez> no
[23:22] <xrandr> ok. Let me see if this works without encryption first, then I'll re-install again with encryption and see what happens
[23:23] <kc2bez> Sounds good.
[23:26] <xrandr> Same issue
[23:26] <xrandr> How do I check the hash?
[23:28] <xrandr> kc2bez: how do i check the hash?
[23:28] <kc2bez> This section in our manual goes over that https://manual.lubuntu.me/1/1.1/retrieving_the_image.html#downloading-the-image-via-http
[23:33] <xrandr> ok, the hash matches
[23:33] <xrandr> Beginning to think I should just use regular ubuntu, and re-install lxde
[23:40] <xrandr> Thank you anyway :)
