[12:24] <Noboru55> brainwash Moning, maybe it's because clear cache, i am not sure, but here the chromium works faster than chrome, i know it doest not have extensions or plugins, and maybe because it the chromium did not broke for while
[12:24] <Noboru55> brainwash it's working nice
[12:25] <Noboru55> hope continue working
[20:52] <hansh> i have a small 14" laptop running Xubuntu in VMWare, when i connected a large monitor to the laptop and told vmware to go fullscreen, xubuntu correctly resized to fit the entire large screen, but when i disconnected the large display and went back to my laptop 14" and told vmware to resize, the start menu bar is gone.. and even after a reboot, it
[20:52] <hansh> 's still gone. how do i get it back ?
[20:52] <hansh> (the host OS is windows 10 if that's relevant. also, open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop is installed)
[20:53] <gnrp> hansh: Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run `xrandr --auto`
[20:53] <hansh> cool hotkey
[20:54] <hansh> didn't work, menu bar is still gone
[20:54] <hansh> if it has crashed or if its just out of visible screen area, i don't know
[20:54] <hansh> i tried it both as the logged in user, and as root
[20:54] <hansh> (and in that order)
[20:59] <gnrp> hansh: when you try `xfce4-panel -r`?
[20:59] <hansh> as user or root?
[21:00] <hansh> well tried as user, nothing happened but it returned 0
[21:00] <hansh> tried it as root, now it says "no running instance of xfce4-panel was found, do you want to start the panel?"
[21:01] <hansh> guess that means it ran an xfce4-panel as user
[21:03] <hansh> after reboot it looks like this now: https://prnt.sc/pyqzt4
[21:03] <hansh> if i tell vmware window to resize, tho, it will go fullscreen
[21:03] <gnrp> as a user... When you click on "Report problem", then you should see the error report?
[21:03] <hansh> (like just 1 millimeter in any direction)
[21:03] <hansh> ... i really wish that was the case
[21:04] <hansh> when i press "report", the damn window just disappear
[21:04] <hansh> is is supposed to be that way?
[21:04] <gnrp> no clue what happens when you run as root... but I would also try adding a new user and logging in with that one (if you cannot just delete the old one shome)
[21:04] <Noboru55> you can disable this message if you want to
[21:05] <hansh> Noboru55, i don't really want to disable it, i want to know what it's complaining about
[21:05] <Noboru55> hansh did u tri ctrl+esc to see if the menu opens ?
[21:05] <Noboru55> maybe the screen is not in correct size.. do not know
[21:05] <Noboru55> did u try*
[21:06] <hansh> ctrl+esc does nothing
[21:06] <Noboru55> so its gone
[21:06] <hansh> can i logout with a hotkey?
[21:07] <hansh> err
[21:07] <Noboru55> here i needed to create the logout
[21:07] <Noboru55> in keyboard, second tab there is how to create shortcuts
[21:07] <Noboru55> can u open the settings ?
[21:07] <hansh> Noboru55, https://prnt.sc/pyr1v0
[21:07] <hansh> right-click->applications has a logout button ^^
[21:08] <Noboru55> hansh ah, i disable that.. lol
[21:08] <Noboru55> and i create that shortcut   ctrl+alt+ backspace to logout
[21:08] <hansh> oh neat
[21:08] <hansh> created a new user and logout -> login,
[21:08] <hansh> the problem is not present on the new user
[21:08] <Noboru55> solved?
[21:08] <hansh> ye
[21:08] <Noboru55> good...
[21:08] <hansh> kinda
[21:08] <hansh> just.. hope i can fix my main account
[21:09] <hansh> instead of switching
[21:09] <hansh> well the problem is tied to my account at least
[21:09] <hansh> logging back into my main account, and the issue is back
[21:10] <Noboru55> oh
[21:10] <Noboru55> maybe u could try xubuntu 19.10
[21:10] <hansh> does that mean the problem is probably in /home/hans/ ?
[21:10] <Noboru55> because the xfce 4.14
[21:10] <hansh> ah right, forgot to mention, im running 18.04
[21:10] <Noboru55> i am too
[21:10] <Noboru55> but i....
[21:11] <Noboru55> i use the xfce 4.14 because it upgrade the panel and i can install xfce4-screensaver
[21:12] <Noboru55> hansh https://www.reddit.com/r/xubuntu/comments/csymjx/how_to_install_xfce_414_on_xubuntu_1804/
[21:12] <Noboru55> but i not responsible if something gets wrong
[21:13] <hansh> haha, i ran rm -rfv /home/hans/.config/xfce4 and rebooted, the problem is gone apparently! :D
[21:13] <hansh> "when in doubt, trash all the config files"
[21:13] <Noboru55> lol. its right
[21:13] <Noboru55> i would not like because i do some changes in the panel
[21:13] <Noboru55> but better than nothing
[21:14] <hansh> me too but i don't do extensive changes (add workspace switcher and move it to the bottom  and resize, but nothing major)
[21:15] <Noboru55> hansh i am not expert, but i woul try the upgrade xfce4..
[21:15] <Noboru55> as i said, here i use the 4.14 and it has a good perfect screensaver
[21:16] <Noboru55> hansh u can reverse it later....  https://techstop.github.io/xfce-4-14-on-xubuntu-18-04/
[21:16] <Noboru55> just because your panel problem
[21:18] <Noboru55> hansh if u do it, and the whiskers menu get small icons...  i just could fix it rebooing so in synaptic.  clicking in update and make changes, aply...
[21:19] <Noboru55> excuse me, going to play supertuxkart
[21:19] <hansh> well thanks, but unless the problem comes back, i'm probably just gonna keep it like this until 20.04
[21:19] <Noboru55> hansh u're welcome
[23:42] <xubuntu68w> I prefer dolphin over thunar because it has more functionality. Will xarchiver work with dolphin or do I need to install ark?
