| guiverc | my `chromium-browser` isn't accepting any text input into page/url/window... i've logged out, restarted but no difference. `snap refresh --beta chromium` to try a different version; no change. any clues appreciated | 05:33 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | guiverc, clear the cache of ~/.cache of chromium-browser | 11:23 |
| guiverc | thanks oerheks ... `rm`ing now... | 11:24 |
| oerheks | :-) | 11:25 |
| guiverc | that just increased disk space .5GB ! (2.2gb free increased to 2.7gb) | 11:27 |
| guiverc | alas starting chromium didn't fix issue | 11:29 |
| oerheks | oh :-( | 11:31 |
| oerheks | one could clear the ~/.config folder too, but then you loose all settings/bookmarks/plugins/malware | 11:32 |
| guiverc | thanks, I'll give it a go (the malware sounds interesting...) | 11:34 |
| oerheks | :-D | 11:34 |
| guiverc | no change, and nothing lost - maybe cause it's a snap; it's stored elsewhere.. | 11:34 |
| oerheks | i had this once .. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eakrho2sfpgdvbw/virusaanval.png?dl=0 | 11:35 |
| guiverc | i do have a ~/snap/chromium/ folder so looking there. | 11:36 |
| oerheks | oops, yes, my bad, snaps store their malware there | 11:36 |
| oerheks | err config | 11:36 |
| guiverc | yeah a windows security alert doesn't quite have the same effect when we're not using windoze | 11:37 |
| guiverc | :) on malware err .. | 11:38 |
| oerheks | still looking for my C: drive.. | 11:39 |
| guiverc | my ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache looks huge too, you've given me loads of disk space back here too | 11:40 |
| guiverc | what was 2.2gb free is now 3.3gb | 11:41 |
| oerheks | great | 11:42 |
| guiverc | no keybd yet with cache, next is the malware i guess | 11:42 |
| oerheks | how about the logfiles? | 11:42 |
| oerheks | if they growing fast too.. | 11:43 |
| guiverc | nope; (I omitted Code Cache) .. no go, looking for config | 11:44 |
| guiverc | lost malware, but still no keyboard input :( (but only plus site; 3.6gb of space in $HOME instead of 2.2) | 11:54 |
| guiverc | s/site/side | 11:54 |
| guiverc | oerheks, success !!! (my continual re-load of chromium must have re-introduced issue whatever it was (into cache possibly), I redid some of prior commands (rm cache) & now it's working)... Thanks HEAPS !! (x2; problem solved & I have more disk space to fill!) | 11:58 |
| oerheks | great. still i like to find out what happens so often with chromium browser, is it because of the snap confinement? | 12:00 |
| guiverc | i have no idea, and too tired to look tonight.. (I'm adding back privacy.badger, ublock etc) | 12:02 |
| guiverc | I can't say I like snap; on reboot so often I find it reporting "Restore session?" & it returns to what it was a ~week prior (and never as I close down with a single window; always 4-5 windows) | 12:03 |
| oerheks | "Privacy Badger blocks spying ads and invisible trackers. " nice | 12:03 |
| guiverc | thanks heaps oerheks, nice to have silence with box besides me now off (where I was browsing sites I use chromium with) | 12:12 |

| adrian_1908 | Hello. Do I see it right that 20.04 LTS won't be defaulting to Wayland? I only found various news articles, so I wasn't sure how authoritative that is. | 16:53 |
| tomreyn | adrian_1908: (as already discussed on #ubuntu) it won't. | 17:10 |
| tomreyn | https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=No-Wayland-Default-20.04-LTS is maybe not the best source, you *may* be able to find a better source on blog.ubuntu.com | 17:12 |
| adrian_1908 | tomreyn: Sorry, the large response drowned out your early "no". Yeah, that's one of the articles I read. Was just looking for an informed opinion, as those tend to be more current than articles on some topics. | 17:15 |
| tomreyn | adrian_1908: FWIW, the daily builds don't default to wayland (except for gdm), and i've seen ubuntu developers confirming it won't be defaulting to wayland for gnome-shell. | 17:19 |
| adrian_1908 | tomreyn: Nice. I have an Nvidia GPU and need to use proprietary drivers for feature/perf reasons. If the upcoming LTS defaults to- and support X, then I know I have a solid workhorse for the forseeable future. In a few years I can then consider new hardware or a different distro if need be. | 17:23 |
| tomreyn | nvidia'S driver situation is probably a major reason why the default isn't changing, yet. sooner or later X will die, though. | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | it's already pretty much in bugfix only mode upstream | 17:25 |
| tomreyn | where 'already' is ~ 50 years ;) | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | actually more like 35# | 17:26 |
| tomreyn | 33 for X11 | 17:27 |
| adrian_1908 | :) | 17:28 |

| nmrp3 | hi | 21:55 |
| nmrp3 | so because I love to try out new things I did an do-release-upgrade to 20.4 | 21:55 |
| Bashing-om | nmrp3: Welcome :D | 21:56 |
| nmrp3 | cheers :) | 21:56 |
| nmrp3 | so essentially everything works so far except my kde plasma workspace didn't start up - I have a blank desktop with no task bar or anything | 21:56 |
| nmrp3 | I can start processes with alt-f2, and tab through them, but windows have no borders | 21:57 |
| nmrp3 | they can be dragged around though - so I have a functioning window manager I guess | 21:57 |
| nmrp3 | the only other minor thing is that my wireless mouse stopped working, but the wireless keyboard it came with works - go figure | 21:58 |
| nmrp3 | Running "kstart5 plasmashell" prints out a lot of warnings and errors | 22:03 |
| Bashing-om | nmrp3: Await here for one who has KDE experience - not me, see then :) | 22:08 |
| nmrp3 | I think "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session" may perhaps be to blame? It's got a bunch of error/warning entries in systemctl | 22:13 |
| Bashing-om | nmrp3: the log file .xsession-errors on your /home may have some hints ? | 22:16 |
| nmrp3 | mm, loads of "could not connect to relay relay://******" messages | 22:18 |
| nmrp3 | I'm going to try sddm and see if things boot with that - back in a couple of minutes | 22:18 |
| nmrp3 | back | 22:25 |
| nmrp3 | going to try with clean .cache .confg .local and try again ... | 22:27 |
| nmrp3 | ok - so that hasn't fixed things | 22:34 |
| nmrp3 | I@m wondering if I should drop down to a terminal, uninstall everything gnome and kde, reboot, then re-install? | 22:37 |
| Bashing-om | !Info kubuntu-desktop | 22:38 |
| Bashing-om | !info kubuntu-desktop | 22:39 |
| ubottu | kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu Plasma Desktop/Netbook system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.394 (focal), package size 3 kB, installed size 44 kB (Only available for amd64; arm64; armhf; ppc64el) | 22:39 |
| nmrp3 | ah ... that wasn't installed any more somehow | 22:39 |
| nmrp3 | so let's try that then | 22:40 |
| Bashing-om | !info ssdm | 22:40 |
| ubottu | Package ssdm does not exist in focal | 22:40 |
| Bashing-om | !info sddm | 22:40 |
| ubottu | sddm (source: sddm): modern display manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18.0-1ubuntu2 (focal), package size 612 kB, installed size 1870 kB | 22:40 |
| nmrp3 | ok -- going to reboot after installing kubuntu-desktop -- fingers crossed | 22:43 |
| nmrp3 | hi - that's fixed it I thinl | 22:49 |
| nmrp3 | thanks | 22:49 |
| nmrp3 | so the version upgrade somehow lost the desktop pacakge | 22:49 |
| Bashing-om | nmrp3: :D Strange things can happen. | 22:50 |
| nmrp3 | ain't that the truth | 23:28 |
