| well_laid_lawn | what is it you really are asking there? | 10:05 |
| well_laid_lawn | the difference between linux distros is packaging and support mostly | 10:06 |
| xubuntu38w | Hi | 11:06 |
| GridCube | hi | 13:18 |
| mauser9069 | Hello, all. I am using Xubuntu 18.04LTS and the dialog boxes for updates are way too wide. I have the DPI set to 160 because of my eyesight. Changing the DPI does not correct this bug. It won't allow me to resize them. I posted it this issue here but no luck. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2431793 Anyone knows a fix for this? | 15:09 |
| mauser9069 | By the way. I am commandline illiterate. | 15:09 |
| GridCube | mauser9069: you can resize windows by pressing ctrl and the right mouse click and drag to desired size | 15:14 |
| mauser9069 | I tried that and it won't let me resize them. | 15:14 |
| mauser9069 | These are the boxes that won't resize. https://postimg.cc/w7Fk6QvD and https://postimg.cc/n9j7jLkB | 15:16 |
| GridCube | that doesn't look like xubuntu | 15:17 |
| GridCube | i mean probably it's a different theme, but looks a lot like lxde | 15:18 |
| mauser9069 | I themed it differently. Even the standard Theme the dialog boxes are still way to wide. | 15:19 |
| GridCube | i see | 15:19 |
| mauser9069 | It's XFCE theme. | 15:19 |
| GridCube | mmhm | 15:19 |
| GridCube | looks like a bug then | 15:19 |
| mauser9069 | Yes, but I tried to report the bug but it won't let me file a bug report. | 15:20 |
| mauser9069 | So far I am living with this bug. I don't see it ever getting fixed if they won't allow me to file a bug report. | 15:22 |
| GridCube | how did you tried to fill the bug? | 15:22 |
| brainwash | bug 1737320 | 15:22 |
| ubottu | bug 1737320 in xfwm4 (Ubuntu) "Update Manager - Resize control disabled" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1737320 | 15:22 |
| GridCube | :D brainwash to the rescue | 15:23 |
| mauser9069 | I tried using Launchpad which I have an account for. There is nowhere to file a bug report, only search for bugs. | 15:24 |
| brainwash | you should be able to open new reports | 15:24 |
| mauser9069 | Thank you "ubottu". | 15:24 |
| brainwash | width = dpi / 72 * size * num_em | 15:25 |
| mauser9069 | It won't let m e "brainwashed". | 15:25 |
| brainwash | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+filebug | 15:26 |
| mauser9069 | At 72 DPI I can't see anything. | 15:26 |
| brainwash | there is a "Report a bug" link in the top right corner | 15:27 |
| GridCube | mauser9069: the best way to report a bug is opening a terminal and typing ubuntu-bug nameofpackage | 15:28 |
| brainwash | the window width calculation seems to depend on the set DPI value | 15:28 |
| mauser9069 | I am commandline illiterate. | 15:28 |
| brainwash | higher DPI -> larger window | 15:28 |
| GridCube | :) you can always learn | 15:29 |
| GridCube | as commands go that's an easy one | 15:29 |
| mauser9069 | I have tried to learn since 1982 and it's Gibb erish to me. | 15:29 |
| GridCube | :P | 15:30 |
| brainwash | but keep in mind that you should check first if a bug report already exists | 15:30 |
| brainwash | I linked the existing one for the inability to resize the window (when using Xfce) | 15:31 |
| brainwash | didn't check if there is one for the width calculation | 15:31 |
| mauser9069 | Thank you for the link to file a bug report "brainwashed" | 15:36 |
| mauser9069 | Thank you all. Bug report filed. | 15:39 |
| mauser9069 | Bye all. | 15:39 |
| krrysis | how do i change terminal colors? | 18:21 |
| GridCube | from settings | 18:24 |

| BuSdRiVer320 | Hi. Is there a way how to get the panel profile which is the default one when one installs xubuntu? | 21:48 |
| gnrp | BuSdRiVer320: When you delete your old configuration of the panel | 22:02 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | gnrp, i chose Xfce 4.14 in the Panel Profiles app | 22:06 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | Now i've chosen Xubuntu 18.04 and it seems that everything is back how it was | 22:07 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | would be helpful to create a label called xubuntu 19.10 | 22:07 |
| brainwash | is 19.10 any different? | 22:08 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | I don't know as 19.10 is the first time i've installed xubuntu | 22:10 |
| brainwash | https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-panel-profiles/tree/data/layouts | 22:11 |
| brainwash | you could open a new report | 22:12 |
| brainwash | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?component=General&product=Xfce4-panel-profiles&resolution=--- | 22:12 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | Thanks. Will do. | 22:13 |
| gnrp | reminds me I have to upgrade one computer to 19.10. | 22:14 |
| gnrp | no point in waiting five months for 20.04 | 22:15 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | I'm testing atm. | 22:15 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | but was impressed with how stable xubunto 19.10 is | 22:15 |
| gnrp | BuSdRiVer320: What is the recommended way to upgrade xubuntu? | 22:16 |
| gnrp | well, I guess it is as stable as any ubuntu release? | 22:16 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | yes and no... i've installed ubuntu 19.10 and lubuntu 19.10 | 22:16 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | both had issues | 22:16 |
| gnrp | ah, ok | 22:17 |
| gnrp | so, let's see. Upgrading from 18.04 to 19.10... | 22:20 |
| gnrp | maybe then I can get real USB 3... | 22:20 |
| BuSdRiVer320 | good luck | 22:23 |
| gnrp | lol. The upgrade window now shows me that the package configuration needs some interaction... but I cannot interact | 22:40 |
| gnrp | i.e., I upgrade the system, then I have to do this configure secure boot stuff, but I cannot enter anything | 22:40 |
| gnrp | hmmm, nice. Some small troubles, but all in all system works fine now | 22:54 |
| gnrp | where do I set the system-wide keyboard layout? | 22:59 |
| brainwash | gnrp: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 23:03 |
| gnrp | brainwash: Yep, tried that. I edited in the end /etc/default/keyboard directly because I wouldn't know the keyboard model for my notebook | 23:05 |
| gnrp | still having some trouble with keyboard layout/internationalization after the upgrade, though :/ | 23:05 |
| gnrp | when I open a vim and insert an umlaut, it always makes the character and then a space | 23:05 |
