[07:33] <Regor> whats best application to connect android ? i see two gsconnect and kdeconnect . any xfce native tool ?  on bionic
[07:34] <gnrp> Regor: What do you want to achieve with the connection? Exchanging data, using it as a modem, ...?
[07:34] <Regor> only exchanging files
[07:35] <Regor> wifi based tool
[07:41] <blankman> yo peeps
[07:41] <blankman> i dont get about terms
[07:42] <blankman> also bye bye
[09:14] <gnrp> Regor: ah, you want it wifi-based?
[09:14] <gnrp> then what I really like is some tool to use ftp
[09:15] <gnrp> so installing an ftp server on your phone, activating it when required, and connecting with e.g. filezilla
[09:15] <gnrp> but only works on trusted networks
[11:30] <sublevel> gnrp: have you looked at Termux? It does ftp server but also sshd, rsync, etc.    https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Remote_Access
[11:44] <gnrp> sublevel: Hm, good idea, will have a look
[12:06] <Regor> gnrp: thanks ! ftp is cool !
[12:07] <Regor> Termux looks cool
[12:08] <sublevel> it's fantastic, I'm typing here using termux->ssh->my server running weechat
[12:08] <Regor> thats awesome !
[12:10] <Regor> i also use weechat ...so it would have fun :D
[12:10] <sublevel> I haven't tried ssh/sftp'ing from laptop to Termux, but it looks pretty easy
[12:11] <Regor> yeah i would see that stuff
[12:13] <sublevel> The screenshot on its wiki homepage is running weechat, they know their audience!
[12:13] <Regor> :)
[12:25] <pjotter> Hi everyone.
[12:26] <gnrp> hi
[12:26] <pjotter> I have set up a dual boot with Xubuntu 16.04 and 18.04
[12:27] <pjotter> Strange thing is... I can only edit and change grub from 18.04. When I try the saem via 16.04 it has no effect on grub.
[12:27] <gnrp> how do you do this "edit and change grub"?
[12:27] <pjotter> Is this normal behaviour? I use grub-customizer to edit grub here.
[12:28] <gnrp> I don't know grub-customizer, but I can well imagine that 16.04 is editing some configuration that the actual grub, installed by 18.04, does not care about
[12:29] <pjotter> You mean that maybe 18.04 uses a newer grub version or something?
[12:30] <pjotter> Maybe it's just a little glitch. I might try to reinstall the whole thing and see if the problem remains.
[12:31] <pjotter> There isn't some special I should do in order to create a dual boot, is there? Just install 16.04 from a live USB, and then do the same for 18.04, right?
[12:31] <gnrp> I don't think a reinstallation would help
[12:31] <gnrp> I don't know grub-customizer, but can't you set the configuration that shall be edited in there?
[12:31] <pjotter> Well, there other problems aswell, so I really need to reinstall the whole thing.
[12:33] <pjotter> Ah, bingo! :p
[12:33] <pjotter> Yes, you can switch partitions. :D
[12:33] <pjotter> Thanks for thinking along here. I think this solved it
[12:34] <gnrp> good :)
[12:35] <pjotter> I'm having a lot of trouble with an nvida videocard. It seems the standard xorg driver is not working properly for that card. But that's someting I'll look into when I reinstall the whole thing again.
[12:53] <gnrp> depends on the card. The proprietary nvidia driver is a bit of a pain, but usually works fine
[16:25] <talin> hello. when my screen goes blank, i have to type a password to unlock it... but the screen remains blank... so i tohught at first that my laptop had crashed, but it turns out it does accept passwords, the screen is just blank until i type the right password
[16:30] <diogenes_> does it come back after you type the passwd?
[16:51] <brainwash> talin: bug 1801609
[23:44] <veegee> hello all. I've just installed Xubuntu 16.04  and am facing a problem with keyboard shortcuts. I use F12 in qt creator for a particular function but even after disabling the system shortcut (meant to switch to workspace 12) I can't get xubuntu to pass the F12 keystroke to any application
[23:44] <veegee> Any help is appreciated
[23:45] <veegee> Other shortcuts work. E.g. F3 does get passed on to the application. It was assigned to the system function "Switch to workspace 3"
