[08:49] <Robpeteuk>     Hi I am using xubuntu 18.04 and am trying to reinstall an Epson XP 352 printer. For some reason xubuntu lost the original installation when I moved a few days ago. The original installation was using printer driver version 2.2 according to test page and everything worked including ink levels. Now every time I try to reinstall using the latest
[08:49] <Robpeteuk> Epson drivers it installs Driver version 1.1 which does not show ink levels. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but every time I reinstall I get version 1.1 driver.When using the printer utility to add printer it says cannot find driver in software despite having installed it , then installs driver 1.1 Any ideas to rectify this Rob
[11:05] <mati> Hi, I'm trying to create a shortcut for switching between workspaces but I can't set the shortcut as menu+1: the window manager settings save it as "1". Is there any way to create a shortcut with the menu?
[13:58] <xu-help65w> Hello xubuntu folk. Anyone around? I'm installing xubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 18.04 and seek advice on lightdm.
[14:02] <xu-help65w> That is, whether one can expect, that of one selects lightdm over gdm when prompted during install of xubuntu-desktop, whether it then self-configures, or whether there is any configuration that I must do manually, which would inevitably be configuration of a short I am not qualified to do?
[16:24] <Ubuntu_User420> whats the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu
[16:25] <Ubuntu_User420> is there anyone there?
[16:26] <SDD> HI
[20:33] <lisbeths> Oh my word I am so excited for 20.04
[20:34] <lisbeths> I have been on LTS FOR SO LONG
[20:34] <gnrp> lisbeths: two years? ;)
[20:34] <lisbeths> yeah but I kept formatting
[20:34] <lisbeths> about a year ago I got rid of my distro hopping itch
[20:34] <lisbeths> and this particular install I've had a few weeks which is a long time for me
[20:35] <lisbeths> I am gonna try to ride this next one for five years
[20:35] <lisbeths> go full dev ops
[20:35] <gnrp> lol
[20:35]  * gnrp is on 20.04 for some time already after having some trouble
[20:35] <lisbeths> I started using linux right before ubuntu vanilla switch from gnome 2 to 3
[20:35] <lisbeths> Boy what a hell of a ride.
[20:37] <lisbeths> When mainline ubuntu realizes how customizable xfce is and switches to xubuntu there will be 1000 years of peace and prosperty in the ubuntu ecosystem.
[20:37] <lisbeths> The real problem with xfce is they need to switch the window manager to something with less screen tearing issues.
[20:37] <lisbeths> The gui itself is fine.
[20:38] <lisbeths> I play at like 20 fps so my eyes are not fast enough to notice the tearing but lots of autists with more neurons than me it really freaks them out.
[20:40] <lisbeths> Another thing that sucks about this version, and hopefully they fixed it, is that to open xfce4-whiskermenu-popup should be bound to superkey
[20:41] <lisbeths> I can bind it myself but it's a pain.
[20:42] <lisbeths> Another good idea: xfce4-terminal should have a "new tab button" like the browser. Alot of newer terminals have this and it means a new user doesn't have to go learn tmux. In addition xfce4-terminal can be made to work like guake so that it's a dropdown terminal open by default. Having these two features would make the os really nice.
[20:43] <lisbeths> Other than that though it's just smooth sailing and almost immaculate polishing everywhere I look in the os. Nothing else I try feels as good as this distro. If I were going to recommend something to a corporation or a military it would be this or whatever redhat can offer that is as close to this as possible.
[20:51] <gnrp> lisbeths: screen tearing?
[20:51] <gnrp> the xfce4-terminal proposal should go to the xfce team
[21:14] <lisbeths> Yeah I am too lazy to do that.
[21:14] <lisbeths> Normally when I talk to engineers they just give me back blank stares and ask me where my college degree is.
[21:14] <lisbeths> I don't really respect most software teams.
[21:16] <gnrp> I never read anybody in the internet asking for a degree ;)
[21:17] <lisbeths> I have had some very nasty experiences in irc.
[21:50] <lightero1l> rotfl
[21:50] <lightero1l> it's moments like these that make it worthwhile to hang out here
[21:51] <gnrp> ^^
