JohnnyonFlameHello, is there any way to get notification alert sounds on Xubuntu 19.10? I've tried turning it on at the "appearance" app and installing ubuntu-sounds, but I still get no sounds when a notification popup appears.00:29
DarkTrickHello, I have a "funny" behavior with my keyboard layout. I'm not sure where to post it.06:46
DarkTrick1) I have two keyboard layouts set in "Keyboard". 2) I'm using iBus with "Use system keyboard layout" UNchecked. So iBus would use it's own keyboard layout. 3) In VSCode: when I'm typing in the usual editor I have no problem. But (ONLY) shortcuts apparently refer to the layout set up as the first one within the "Keyboard" dialog (which should actually not be used, because iBus uses it's own)06:49
DarkTrick4) VSCode -> Shortcut Preferences-> setup shortcut: if I type here, the layout set up in the "Keyboard"-dialog will be used (which makes sense, as the shortcuts themself have the same problem)06:51
DarkTrickQuestion: Why would that even possible? Is this an iBus problem? vscode problem? Keyboard-settings problem (xubuntu, I guess)?06:51

onecalledgaiusHello, I'm having a very odd issue with my XFCE panel.  Every time I change the settings, it reverts back after a shutdown/restart/logout.  I noticed it initially when I changed the panel transparency, and when I turned on my computer later I noticed that my transparency change had reverted back.  I've tried googling for answers and am a bit08:55
onecalledgaiusstumped, as this doesn't look like a common issue many have had.08:55
brainwashonecalledgaius: I think I've seen a bug report for that08:56
onecalledgaiusAh, that's great, at least its not unique. Do you remember where it was reported, like which bug reporting site? Im not sure if it would be on ubuntu, xubuntu, or xfce's site.08:59
brainwashwas looking for it, but here it is09:00

ubottubugzilla.xfce.org bug 16296 in Panel "Xfce panel opacity setting for 90% "Leave" is getting reset to 100% after reboot." [Normal,Resolved: fixed]09:00
onecalledgaiusWow thank you, thats certainly the bug im experiencing, you people in here are great, always have the answer.09:05
xubuntu20wgood morning09:45
xubuntu20wI have a little question09:46
xubuntu20wsomebody in?09:46
=== xubuntu20w is now known as poj
=== poj is now known as xubuntu-nl
xubuntu-nlhello09:49
xubuntu-nlI have a question about my desktop. the icons do not use the whole area of the screen. it seems that they  think that the desktop is 2x (double screen solution) 600x800 size in stead of 1024x128009:51
xubuntu-nlwhat can it be?09:51
well_laid_lawn!resolution09:53
ubottuThe X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution09:53
well_laid_lawnxubuntu-nl:             ↑09:53
xubuntu-nlubottu: Thank for your reaction. This is not the problem. Maybe I explained it not correct. The screen resolution for both monitors is 1024x1280. I used in past the link that you sent to set them correct.10:00
xubuntu-nlThe problem is that the icons do not use the whole possible area, at under and right site there is space left10:00
xubuntu-nlThe icons use about 600x80010:01
xubuntu-nlfor example the back ground is placed on the whole area of 1024x128010:02
brainwashyou could see if the debug output has any hints10:02
brainwashxfdesktop -Q; xfdesktop -e10:02
xubuntu-nl@brainwash: this are commands for the terminal?10:03
xubuntu-nlCan is has something to do with the grid size?10:06
xubuntu-nlDBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2733] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): CELL_SIZE=91,800, TEXT_WIDTH=79,800, ICON_SIZE=42DBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2734] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): grid size is 10x27DBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2747] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): created grid_layout with 270 positions10:06
brainwashobviously the grid size is relevant10:06
xubuntu-nlDBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2733] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): CELL_SIZE=91,800, TEXT_WIDTH=79,800, ICON_SIZE=42DBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2734] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): grid size is 10x27DBG[xfdesktop-icon-view.c:2747] xfdesktop_setup_grids(): created grid_layout with 270 positions10:07
xubuntu-nlok, how is the grid size defined?10:07
brainwashit is calculated based on the available work area (screen resolution minus reserved space) and the selected icon size10:08
brainwasha panel can reserve space10:08
brainwashyou can define margins via Xfce Settings > Workspaces also10:09
brainwashjust tested it though10:10
brainwashthose margins do not affect xfdesktop10:10
xubuntu-nlprobably the calculation is made wrong or based on wrong assumptions10:12
xubuntu-nlif I change the icon size a larger part of the screen is used10:14
xubuntu-nlchanged from 42 to 60 px10:14
brainwashcould be10:15
brainwashfor me it works fine10:16
xubuntu-nlhmm, If I use reshuffle desktop icons (I don't know if reshuffle is a correct translation) than there is a bigger part of the screen used10:16
xubuntu-nlOr better: correct used10:16
brainwashthen... what was the problem to begin with?10:17
brainwashyou were unable to drag icons to down to the bottom part?10:17
brainwash-to10:17
xubuntu-nlthe problem is that when I start up the computer the icons use not the whole screen10:19
brainwashsomething to do with startup then I guess10:20
xubuntu-nlI guess too (y)10:20
brainwashis that xubuntu 18.04 or 19.10?10:21
xubuntu-nl18.0410:21
brainwashmy suggestion would be to try new Xfce 4.14, but that could be problematic with xubuntu 18.0410:23
brainwashxubuntu 20.04 will have it10:23
brainwash!20.0410:24
ubottuUbuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa) will be the 32nd release of Ubuntu, scheduled for April 2020 ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule ). It will be a long-term support release. Join #ubuntu+1 for support and questions.10:24
xubuntu-nlOk, maybe that is a good idea10:24
brainwashfor 18.04 there is a PPA, but that is not a clean solution10:24
xubuntu-nlOw, I can wait a while till 20.0410:25
brainwashokay10:25
xubuntu-nlOne question more10:26
xubuntu-nlif I move an icon I see that the it is saved to a file: /home/USER/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0-2518x989.rc10:27
xubuntu-nldo u know what is does? and how it is used?10:27
brainwashit stores the icon positions10:29
brainwashper work area10:29
xubuntu-nlBut is it used when computer start up?10:30
brainwashyes10:30
xubuntu-nlok thanks, have a nice day10:31
