[00:16] <Sismo> Hi all!
[00:16] <Sismo> I'm setting Xubuntu on a rbpi4 on ubuntu 20.04
[00:17] <Sismo> I have an old dell monitor with resolution 2560x1080, but I wasnt able to set this resolution on my xubuntu instalation.
[00:17] <Sismo> Has someone have some experience with this probrem
[00:18] <Sismo> Y tried to use xrandr without any luck
[01:15] <DarkTrick2> Hello
[01:15] <DarkTrick2> It seems my xorg is frozen
[01:16] <DarkTrick2> I can still move the mouse, but no apps respond
[01:16] <DarkTrick2> xub 19.10
[01:17] <DarkTrick2> Is there any quick check to see what is wrong?
[01:17] <DarkTrick2> I can still use ttys to move around the system
[01:25]  * DarkTrick2 is giving up. killall
[13:38] <CrazyH> xubuntu 19.10 / XCFE-4. How do I get the screen to stop timing out and turning black? No matter what I set the screen saver / power settings to it keeps happening
[13:38] <CrazyH> First the machine turns the screen black... then about 10 mins later my monitor shuts off because it sees nothing but black screen
[13:53] <Priem19> CrazyH, https://askubuntu.com/questions/1165233/laptop-screen-is-black-after-restart/1165240#1165240
[13:53] <Priem19> Perhaps that's the problem
[13:53] <Priem19> gotta run, bb
[14:23] <CrazyH> Thanks for the info.
[14:23] <CrazyH> I'm not running  laptop, so I don't see light-locker running on my system
[14:24] <CrazyH> I disabled it in power setting manager
[14:24] <CrazyH> if that fails, I'll try shutting down upowerd
[17:30] <CrazyH> Killing upowerd didn't help. Doing all of the stuff in the link that Priem19 gave didn't help
[17:38] <GridCube> CrazyH: change the options on the powersettings menu
[17:39] <CrazyH> GridCube, That's the first thing I did. It doesn't work
[17:39] <GridCube> https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/preferences#display
[17:39] <GridCube> tried to turn it off?
[17:42] <CrazyH> I tried it two different ways:
[17:43] <CrazyH> 1. Power management turned on, but all timeouts set to "never"
[17:43] <CrazyH> 2. power managment turned off completely
[17:43] <CrazyH> neither one works
[17:48] <GridCube> mmm
[17:48] <CrazyH> So I've tried: turning power management off the proper way 2 different ways. I've tried killing power manager. I've tried killing and renaming upowerd ( because it auto restarts ) and I tried looking light-control ( or whatever it was called ). Doesn't exist. This is a Desktop, not a laptop
[17:49] <CrazyH> I don't even know what else to do except to maybe start poking around with Dconf
[17:52] <GridCube> maybe the modifications are not being read properly in the config file? could you try login off and removing the ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, while logged off, then log back in so the file gets respawned and see if changes take effect?
[18:05] <CrazyH> So log off, then use a virtual console?
[18:05] <CrazyH> I'll give it a shot
[18:09] <CrazyH> GridCube, the contents of that file: https://bpaste.net/AZCQ
[18:09] <CrazyH> The last line looks like it might be the issue
[18:10] <GridCube> yeah, it probably should say "unit" and not uint
[18:10] <GridCube> but maybe not, theres' a lot uint
[18:11] <GridCube> oh its u int, no idea what it means
[18:11] <GridCube> i guess it's correct then
[18:11] <GridCube> this is the new file or the one that has respawned?
[18:11] <GridCube> you could try setting that to 0 anyway ?
[18:12] <CrazyH> I haven't done anything yet. The first thing I did was just read the file
[18:12] <GridCube> oh
[18:12] <GridCube> :P good idea
[18:12] <CrazyH> The problem is this line:  <property name="inactivity-on-ac" type="uint" value="14"/>  <-- I'm assuming that 14 means 14 mins
[18:13] <CrazyH> When I run xfce power manager, it gives me no option mentioning anything about being on AC power ( Probably because this is not a lap top )
[18:13] <GridCube> mmhm
[18:13] <CrazyH> Therefore, I can not change that setting using the power manager
[18:13] <GridCube> i see
[18:13] <GridCube> well modify it here then
[18:13] <GridCube> just set it to 0
[18:13] <CrazyH> yeah... that
[18:13] <CrazyH> I'll see if that works
[18:14] <GridCube> it's rather safe to do, again, you can just get it back to default by removing it and loging back it
[18:14] <CrazyH> Do I now have to reboot a certain program to load the value?
[18:15] <GridCube> mmmm, i don't think so?, but maybe modify a different thing in the power-manager so it records that a change has been made?
[18:15] <GridCube> i think there should be an option to apply changes on xfce4-power-manager
[18:16] <GridCube> xfce4-power-manager --restart
[18:19] <CrazyH> I tried that and several other things with xfce-power-manger
[18:20] <CrazyH> It keeps changing that value back to 14
[18:20] <CrazyH> It seems to be a default value
[18:20] <GridCube> mmmm
[18:21] <GridCube> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=215999
[18:23] <CrazyH> ok, maybe I was wrong. I edited the file again, then ran xfce4-power-manager --restart   several times. Now the value stays at 0
[18:23] <GridCube> >Remember that the property /xfce4-power-manager/inactivity-on-ac has to be configured to have a value of 14 (which corresponds to ‘Never’ in the Xfce Power Manager settings GUI) for every user.
[18:24] <GridCube> i'm very confused
[18:24] <GridCube> XD
[18:26] <CrazyH> The config file, the line that we have been focused on. It had a value of 14. At first I wasn't able to change it, because the power manager would just change it back to 14.
[18:26] <CrazyH> Well, now I am able to change it to 0, and when i retart the power manager it stays at 0
[18:27] <GridCube> ok
[18:27] <CrazyH> But... apparently 14 is what I wanted in the first place?
[18:27] <GridCube> yeah, that's what i'm not understanding
[18:27] <GridCube> but try to see what happens if you keep it at zero
[18:27] <GridCube> i think that 0 is what you want in this case
[18:29] <CrazyH> I'll let you know. I'll come back in an hour or so. if my monitor is not black... then 0 is the ticket
[19:44] <CrazyH> GridCube, it does seem to be working with the setting of 0
[19:45] <CrazyH> Maybe there is a difference between the code and the documentation?
[19:45] <CrazyH> Because it says that 14 is supposed to be the value that works for this?
[19:45] <GridCube> Mmhm
[19:46] <GridCube> No idea CrazyH
[19:46] <GridCube> Sorry
