| hans__ | i installed Notepad++ from Snap, on my laptop, and it's.. missing keys | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| hans__ | when my laptop is running on powersaver and not connected to the wall, and i quickly write: the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog | 00:07 |
| hans__ | notepad++ gets: the uqik brwfo ums ovee zyd | 00:07 |
| Kumool | this is usb or from the keyboard itself? | 00:12 |
| Kumool | attached* | 00:12 |
| hans__ | attached to the laptop | 00:12 |
| Kumool | my recommendation, notepad++ is bugged, use something else? | 00:12 |
| hans__ | not an external usb | 00:12 |
| Kumool | I wouldn't even know how to debug that :( sorry | 00:13 |
| hans__ | any suggestions? im specifically looking for an editor that allows me to open new tabs and have the editor save/remember them even without giving them explicit names | 00:13 |
| Kumool | welp, I only use 2 editors | 00:14 |
| Kumool | doesn't gnome recommend geany? | 00:14 |
| hans__ | if i open a new tab in notepad++, write something to it, and exit notepad++, then it will still be there the next time i open notepad++ | 00:14 |
| hans__ | that's the specific feature im looking for | 00:14 |
| Kumool | let me check if scite does that | 00:14 |
| hans__ | it doesn't | 00:14 |
| hans__ | at least not the AutoIt-modified version of Scite | 00:15 |
| hans__ | (the autoit IDE ships a modified Scite) | 00:15 |
| Kumool | installing, i'm also trying geany | 00:15 |
| Kumool | its a simple feature, so should be available | 00:15 |
| Kumool | I use this thing called textadept, it remembers and its fast | 00:16 |
| hans__ | "textadept" doesn't seem to be in the xubuntu stock repos at least | 00:17 |
| hans__ | idk if i enabled universe or not | 00:17 |
| Kumool | it isn't I build it manually | 00:18 |
| Kumool | did you try geany | 00:18 |
| Kumool | go editor hunting! | 00:18 |
| hans__ | nah | 00:18 |
| Kumool | ok, so geany does remember that | 00:21 |
| Kumool | and it looks IDE-ish | 00:21 |
| Kumool | so you'll feel at home | 00:21 |
| Kumool | yuck | 00:21 |
| Kumool | I'm sure you can have a lua script on scite that will remember sessions or last file opened | 00:22 |
| hans__ | textadept doesn't remember out of the box at least, hrm | 00:22 |
| Kumool | but I aint messing with the scintilla code | 00:22 |
| Kumool | hans__: It does, I use it | 00:22 |
| hans__ | doesn't for me https://i.imgur.com/rFZZCXq.png | 00:23 |
| hans__ | if i press "quit without saving", it won't remember anything, and if i press cancel, it won't exit | 00:23 |
| hans__ | or maybe it's just in git master | 00:23 |
| Kumool | you want to save... not files? | 00:24 |
| hans__ | i used a release | 00:24 |
| Kumool | it remembers the last files you saved, that is, files | 00:24 |
| Kumool | you can't... remember an unsaved file | 00:25 |
| Kumool | its not in the system | 00:25 |
| Kumool | anyway, use geany | 00:25 |
| Kumool | the feature itself of saving an unnamed buffer is ridiculous, the only thing that works like that is notes | 00:27 |
| Kumool | which is a plugin you can add in the panel | 00:27 |
| Kumool | or just start it | 00:27 |
| Kumool | xfce4-notes | 00:29 |
| Kumool | for note taking, which seems to be what you want. for remembering a programming session, use geany | 00:30 |
| xubuntu40w | Hello, recently i installed xubuntu 18.04 | 06:25 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu40w, congrats! | 06:27 |
| JackFrost | Hrm, a bit late to be going for 18.04, no? | 06:29 |
| diogenes_ | JackFrost, til 2021. | 06:32 |
| JackFrost | Technically, yeah. But 20.04 comes out in a couple months. | 06:33 |
| JackFrost | xubuntu40w: Anywho, that's neither here nor there. Congrats! Anything we can do for you this evening? | 06:34 |
| diogenes_ | JackFrost, and newer doesn't mean better. | 06:34 |
| xubuntu40w | Hello in xubuntu 18.04 , when i tried uninstalling some apps using software centre, it ended up removing thunar file manager, terminal and desktop settings along with it. Then i reinstalled xubuntu , and removed the same apps using terminal, this time there was no issue.. . I tried again after a reinstall using software centre and issue was there.. | 06:44 |
| xubuntu40w | i also noticed the same issue when i was using xfce on another distribution ( zorin lite ). Can anyone tell me why this is happening? | 06:44 |
| JackFrost | I'd guess you tried to remove 'mail'? | 06:45 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu40w, use synaptic for installing/uninstalling stuff. | 06:48 |
| xubuntu40w | Yea mail reader | 06:48 |
| JackFrost | Yeah that's actually provided by 'exo', which is a core lib. Software Center is a bit dense. | 06:48 |
| xubuntu40w | Is the gnome software centre used in xfce ?? | 06:53 |
| JackFrost | Yeah, though as diogenes_ suggests you can instead use Synaptic. | 06:55 |
| astraljava | I was about to mention that at least for Lenovo laptops, gnome software center can install firmware upgrades. | 07:38 |
| JackFrost | Yeah, it can do that and snaps/flatpaks so some people like it. | 07:39 |
| xubuntu21w2004tr | Hello everyone, i'm trying xubuntu 20.04 alpha and i would like to give a pair of suggestions. | 08:11 |
| xubuntu21w2004tr | First: the background is nice but it's posterized, transitions are not smooth at all. I hope it will be better in the release! | 08:12 |
| xubuntu21w2004tr | Second: categories in the menu are on the right and programs on the left. I think swapping categories and programs could be more logical. | 08:13 |
| xubuntu21w2004tr | Thank you! | 08:13 |
| xubuntu21w2004tr | Btw, i found a way to move whisker menu categories on the left. But the default is imho insane. Maybe based on language, for right-to-left languages could be good to have categories on the right, but for the rest of the world is almost insane | 08:21 |
| xubuntu39w | hi! Anyone know why xubuntu stops my scripts 30 minutes after I lock the screen? | 13:20 |
| xubuntu39w | I should say, pauses my scripts. They resume when I unlock | 13:21 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu39w, what xubuntu version? | 13:21 |
| xubuntu39w | 18.04.4 LTS | 13:21 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu39w, i assume it's light-locker, run: ps aux | grep xscreensaver | 13:22 |
| diogenes_ | and: ps aux | grep locker | 13:22 |
| diogenes_ | see which one gives you two lines. | 13:23 |
| xubuntu39w | I have light-locker | 13:23 |
| xubuntu39w | I tried setting --no-idle-hint, but to no avail. | 13:24 |
| xubuntu39w | problem is, I do need to lock my screen | 13:24 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu39w, light-locker is very dated, no longer maintained and also it's 3rd party sicne it's not provided by XFCE, try a different locker like xscreesaver, in xubuntu 19.10 you already have the xfce4-screensaver which should be working much better. | 13:25 |
| xubuntu39w | ok, thanks, I'll try that. Do I put it in the session startup manager, or is there a different way? | 13:25 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu39w, install it then go to session and startup > application startup and untick light-locker and tick xscreensaver and re-log. | 13:26 |
| xubuntu39w | oh... $ xfce4-screensaverxfce4-screensaver: command not found | 13:26 |
| diogenes_ | nope that one is available only with xubuntu 19.10. | 13:27 |
| xubuntu39w | thanks diogenes_ -- xscreensaver now running. I'll find out if it actually works later. :) | 13:34 |
| diogenes_ | ok come back with a feedback. | 13:35 |
| xubuntu39w | @diogenes_ succes: new screensaver seems to allow my script to run uninterrupted, thank you again. (y) | 15:04 |
| xubuntu54w | How do I install guest additions for xubuntu? My virtual box, doesn't give the full screen experience. | 18:05 |
| diogenes_ | xubuntu54w, from virtualbox itself. | 18:20 |
| Sulu-mar | Hello ppl | 20:48 |
| Sulu-mar | Im having a problem booting a portable xubuntu install on my laptop | 20:55 |
| Sulu-mar | Its installed on an external ssd and connected via usb | 20:56 |
| Sulu-mar | While two desktop pcs handle it without problems, the laptop wont even show it as boot drive. | 20:58 |
| Sulu-mar | The laptop does however boot fine from a live usb | 20:58 |
| Sulu-mar | I cant figure out why | 20:59 |
| Sulu-mar | If anyone has an idea, id apreciate it. Thanks | 21:02 |
| Sulu-mar | Ok.it seems to be a hardware issue. The damned lenovo only boots WinPE | 21:30 |
| Sulu-mar | Still odd that it boots from a live usb | 21:36 |
| gQuigs | Xubuntu website might have a trivial fix for this - just switch your torrent.ubuntu.com link to HTTPS, hence why I added Xubuntu-website - https://bugs.launchpad.net/xubuntu-website/+bug/1862428 | 23:05 |
