DarkTrick"Alt+Scroll wheel" for  screen zoom triggers a scrolling within mousepad. Is this a system problem or a mousepad bug?08:42
well_laid_lawnDarkTrick:  if the cursor is in the mousepad window it will have focus so it'll scroll08:46
DarkTrickwell_laid_lawn, you say "it will scroll". Do you mean "it is expected to scroll" ?08:54
well_laid_lawnif mouusepad has focus with the cursor in it then yes08:56
well_laid_lawntry making sure the mouse cursor is sitting on the wallpaper not in a window08:57
DarkTrickhm08:59
DarkTrickwell_laid_lawn, that would in return mean, that firefox, xfce4-terminal, hexchat and a couple of other apps have a buggy behavior09:00
DarkTrickwell_laid_lawn, that being said, I'd say it's much more "natural" if no scrolling would accur...09:01
DarkTrickwell_laid_lawn, other system shortcuts also prevent applications to fire their event. Why should alt+mousewheel be any different?09:01

diogenes_check that out ^^^^15:46
Noboru55diogenes_ hello, the xubuntu install by default xubuntu-core, do u know the difference between the core and xubuntu-desktop?15:49
Noboru55i was thinking about xubuntu-restricted-extras too. i can play mp3 and i install fonts with other package.. so.. is it really necessary?15:50
diogenes_Noboru55, don't go around installing things you don't need at the moment.15:51
Noboru55i wont ^^15:51
unlimiterdiogenes_, it worked just fine. Thanks16:00
pikapikaDoes the default login screen start after xorg is "ready" or before?18:03
raven-14Hi. I'm having a pretty annoying issue with Eoan Ermine.  Is this the right place for seeking help?18:49
gnrpraven-14: When it is Xubuntu, yes. Just ask your question and if somebody knows the answer, he will tell18:54
gnrpbut stay w while a roun18:54
gnrpd18:54
raven-14Sweet thanks!18:55
raven-14Installed a xubuntu 19.10 in dual-boot (other is Win10), and simply, after booting once into it, it won't go lemme log in again. As in, after entering my logins, it displays a black screen with a tiny blue square on the top-left. Trying to access console mode from log screen freezes everything. dpkg doesn't see anything wrong18:59
diogenes_raven-14, installed nvidia?19:00
raven-14uh, absolutely not.19:00
raven-14Dangit19:00
diogenes_raven-14, so after the installation it worked ok?19:01
raven-14Had to change "quiet splash" to "nomodeset" for the install, but, completely forgot about it afterwards. You're right, it's prolly driver issues19:02
diogenes_yeah19:03
raven-14Thanks for the help. Gonna try grabbing the right drivers19:07
diogenes_no problems, come with a feedback on how it went.19:08
FredKJust booted xubuntu from a usb stick.  The xfce terminal is not working and I am lost without it.  When started it says Fariled to execute child process (No such file or directory)19:12
pikapikaAt what point are services started when booting and how do you best disable automatic startup for some selected services?19:12
FredKIf that comment was intended for me, things are started as specified from how the USB stick set things up.  I'm starting the terminal from the application window.19:14
pikapikaNo, it's my own question directed to everyone present here. No relation with your issue FredK19:15
diogenes_pikapika, run: tree19:16
diogenes_and: systemd-analyze blame19:17
diogenes_to disable a servuce: sudo systemctl disable servucename && sudo systemctl stop sameservicename19:18
pikapikaThats what I did but19:18
pikapikaDoes 'disable' mean it would also not be started automatically next boot?19:18
diogenes_FredK, how did you write the usb?19:19
FredKI used unetbootin19:19
raven-14@diogenes_ Installed nvidia drivers v.435. Booted and logged. Thanks again19:19
diogenes_pikapika, yes but some stubborn services also need: sudo systemctl mask servicename19:20
pikapikaOk, thanks19:20
diogenes_raven-14, you're welcome.19:20
diogenes_FredK, try writing with etcher.19:21
diogenes_and check the checksum.19:21
pikapika...etcher?19:21
diogenes_yes19:22
pikapikaJust out of curiosity, could the checksum test done with a ...uh...simpler tool?19:22
diogenes_!checksum19:22
ubottuTo verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows19:22
pikapikaOh okay19:23
pikapikaJust a matter of checksumming the iso file right?19:23
pikapikaI thought you were speaking of some test performed post copying the image to usb19:23
diogenes_first checksum and if all is well then write the iso to usb again but this time use etcher software.19:25
pikapikaWhat tests does etcher provide if any after writing to USB?19:25
diogenes_pikapika, no tests it's just known to do the things better.19:26
pikapikadiogenes_, personally I'd be extremely careful recommending electron anything (or anything that has come from the web background) unless there's no better option.19:29
pikapikaYour views might be different but for example it was just a few years ago that the download sizes of say etcher would have been prohibitive to me19:29
diogenes_pikapika, a recommendation is an advice and it's up to you to either take it or not.19:31
pikapikadiogenes_, if recommendation was so harmless, to take an extreme example, people won't have any issues with neonazi propaganda. I am just saying one must understand the consequences and "free advertizing" that are caused due to recommendation. Not forcing anything, just asking you to reflect on some things.19:33
FredKI'm back.  Computer crashed.  I have not way to make the download of etcher executable on this machine, and on another machine get "./etcher-v1.5.71:  line 7 syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'.  Perhaps there is something else could try?19:58
diogenes_FredK, then try gnome-disk-utility to write the iso.20:00
FredKSorry some how left this page.  Still looking for bootable drive ideas, or a way to fix by xfce terminal.20:04
diogenes_<diogenes_> FredK, then try gnome-disk-utility to write the iso.20:05
diogenes_only if checksum is ok.20:05
csanyipalHi,21:05
csanyipalI am using Xubutu current LTS.21:06
csanyipalIt seems I removed accidentally a package which is responsible to proper display of Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Windows behaves strange.21:08
csanyipalHow can I fix this issue?21:08
krytarikcsanyipal: Just do "sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop"21:14
csanyipalkrytarik: I am doing it now. Thanks!21:14
csanyipalFinished. I am going to re-login. Bye!21:16
csanyipalHi again,21:34
csanyipalStill have strange behavior of some window, like the Software applications window, because eg if I scroll down the mouse wheel when over it"s window then the bottom of the window is "rise", or if I scroll with the wheel up then the top of the window descends.21:38
csanyipalStill asking for help here. As I said, I accidentally removed some packages for calibrating the display device. So now I can't see on some windows buttons, but only texts for those buttons. I reinstall xubuntu-desktop already. What else can I do to get back again a stable Xfce4 Desktop Environment?22:25
csanyipalI just did this: 'sudo apt install xfce4'. Maybe this helps me out.22:49
csanyipalBye!22:49
