[06:19] <sflyer> Hello everyone, can anyone help configure lightdm? Need an indication of the current keyboard layout on the password entry screen. Found a layout, but it does not show the current layout, just shows [layout]. The option with an indication on the keyboard is not suitable. Xubuntu 19.04
[06:51] <tomreyn> sflyer: if you want to use gdm instead: https://help.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/keyboard-layout.html.en
[06:53] <tomreyn> hmm, actually this doesn't mention gdm, so it *might* work for lightdm as well
[06:55] <tomreyn> hmm no, bug 1051288 suggests this is not fixed in lightdm
[06:55] <ubottu> bug 1051288 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "LightDM assumes there's only ONE system default layout" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1051288
[07:28] <sflyer> I will switch to gdm, thanks for the help
[10:20] <daffy1234> My screen goes black every so often, about every 10 minutes i think. It's as if i've left it idle even though I could be moving the mouse at that very moment. I have disabled "activate screensaver when idle". I've set every single power setting of the form "[action] after..." to "Never", and i have set "automatically lock screen after:" to "Never".
[10:20] <daffy1234> Not sure what to do now
[10:28] <diogenes_> daffy1234, enable 'presentation mode'.
[13:20] <deadrom> hi
[13:20] <deadrom> how do I prevent drive auto-mounting booting the live system?
[13:20] <diogenes_> hi
[13:42] <deadrom> diogenes_: by the way I set up xorg.conf.(.d) as described in the tutorial, no difference. the problem really seems to be that either xfce imposes its own settings or the system is confused after resume when external ports are missing for a moment
[13:43] <diogenes_> deadrom, you still have another try as brainwash suggested which is to try xfce 4.14.
[13:46] <deadrom> that's the next project once I got my gaming rig back on track. no matter what issues linux brings me, there is always a reproducable symptom, a clear error message, an apt community. Microsoft then...
[16:22] <xubuntu84w> This may have been asked before but: can 18.04 be booted from USB on a UEFI-only machine?
[16:24] <diogenes_> xubuntu84w, yes.
[16:25] <xubuntu84w> Tnx. Anything special I need to do when copying to USB (compared to non-UEFI)?
[16:25] <xubuntu84w> A pointer to some docs will be OK ;D
[16:26] <diogenes_> xubuntu84w, nope, just standard stuff, get etcher and write the iso.
[16:26] <xubuntu84w> Thank you!
