| jukebohi | Hi and thanks for the awesome distro with all the nice goodies. Got a problem with 20.04 installer: "ubi-usersetup failed with exit code 141" I looked in /var/log/syslog with 'tail -f' and hit the button, which brings up that error and the problem seems to be "ubiquity: encryptfs-setup-swap failed". I have 50GB where I'm putting a /-partition and I'm trying to mount an old /home-partition with a new username | 15:07 |
| jukebohi | and the partition does have an encrypted home directory, which was probably made by a Kubuntu 18.04. It contains nothing that I would not have elsewhere, so removing that is ok. I was going to remove it anyways | 15:09 |
| OvenWerks | that is probably a question beyond our particular expertise, I would ask in #ubuntu | 15:10 |
| OvenWerks | the underlaying OS is still ubuntu | 15:10 |
| OvenWerks | The installer is also from ubuntu | 15:11 |
| jukebohi | why doesn't ctrl-shift-c work in xterm? It goes into the shell as a ^C, instead of copying | 15:12 |
| jukebohi | .. copying what was painted with the cursor | 15:12 |
| jukebohi | I gonna remove the encrypted home-dir anyways as I use another method to encrypt the things that need to be encrypted | 15:14 |
| OvenWerks | I just tried that here and it copied... I then did ctl-shift-v to paste to verify | 15:14 |
| jukebohi | I think my information insecurity issue is deeper than OS-level | 15:14 |
| john6 | jukebohi: I've tried this and I got ^C when I only pressed c with ctrl. Maybe your shift key is not functioning? | 15:17 |
| john6 | jukebohi: also I noticed I wasn't using xterm. I got GNOME Terminal instead. I don't know does it make a difference? | 15:23 |
| OvenWerks | oh right I do not have xterm either. | 15:28 |
| jukebohi | oh I was using the wrong program? | 15:30 |
| jukebohi | I removed the age old crypted dir that contained nothing that wasn't elsewhere and trying the install again | 15:30 |
| OvenWerks | I don't know, xubuntu installs both xfce4-term and xterm | 15:31 |
| john6 | jukebohi: Well, I would guess xterm functionality should be the same. But it's a guess, I'm not so skilled person regarding linux after all. | 15:33 |
| john6 | jukebohi: Good luck with install! | 15:34 |
| OvenWerks | xterm is old and may use different stuff. I do not think it has been actively developed besides maintained | 15:37 |
| jukebohi | yeah.. now it passed where the error previously occurred | 15:39 |
| john6 | jukebohi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/237942/how-does-copy-paste-work-with-xterm | 15:40 |
| john6 | jukebohi: so what I understand xterm functionality is different! | 15:41 |
| OvenWerks | generally use the mouse to highlight and then the middle mouse button to paste... | 15:48 |
| OvenWerks | no key presses needed... that is why I actually had to try pasting with the kb :) | 15:49 |
| victor777 | How to change lockscreen background in 20.04 | 17:34 |
| victor777 | easy method please .... | 17:34 |
| Connor76 | Hello, I use Ubuntu Studio for drawing and I just wanted to ask, is there a reason for Ubuntu Studio to not use KDE as a DE? It has a Walcom Tablet interface for configuring everything and is really lightweight. Plus, since it is more configurable, wouldn't it be more suitable as a Studio tool? | 18:52 |
| john6 | Connor76: I think I saw somewhere at ubuntustudio page something about next release is going to be KDE. | 18:55 |
| Connor76 | Oh, I see, they are going to test it on a non LTS release... I thought I saw this post before 19.10, though... Oh well, thanks anyway | 18:57 |
| zurn | Hi everyone, I'm wondering how I can restore my GUI for UbuntuStudio... I had accidentally maxed out my SDD space and the computer's reaction was to slightly change the look of everything (the Ubuntu icon in the top left corner is now a Whisker icon, for example)... I hope this makes sense | 18:58 |
| zurn | *SSD | 18:58 |
| Connor76 | Umm.. Have you tried changing the theme on and off? I have completely changed DEs on my install, I don't think I can be of much help, sorry... | 19:02 |
| john6 | zurn: I also have maxed out the hd space couple of times. I just started deleting useless downloads etc. And one time I noticed via some disk space monitoring app that jack log file was hogging up silently alot of the space. Try if things nolmalize after making space somehow. | 19:09 |
| john6 | zurn: I mean stranger things can appear when there's not enough space. | 19:11 |
| john6 | *things normalize | 19:11 |
| zurn | john6: ya I see now it's just the Xfce display settings getting scrambled, I'll make a point to save my preferred settings this time for when this happens again (which it most definitely will!) | 19:25 |
| zurn | I suppose my real question is whether the default Xfce settings that came with Ubuntu Studio 18.04 are available somewhere | 19:26 |
| OvenWerks | if you remove the xfce stuff from ~/.config that should put it back to stck | 19:39 |
| OvenWerks | rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 | 19:42 |
| OvenWerks | or, probably better, | 19:42 |
| OvenWerks | mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bad | 19:43 |
| OvenWerks | that way all the old settings are there if you wish to grab some of them | 19:43 |
| OvenWerks | It is best to do this while logged out | 19:44 |
| OvenWerks | so at the logout screen: | 19:44 |
| OvenWerks | press ctl-alt-F1 which should give yu a full screen terminal with a login prompt | 19:44 |
| OvenWerks | this one works different than you are used to... after putting your user name in you need to use enter, not tab to get the password prompt. | 19:45 |
| OvenWerks | anyway after that you should have a normal terminal prompt: user@machine:~$ | 19:46 |
| OvenWerks | there you can type: mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bad | 19:47 |
| OvenWerks | then type exit | 19:47 |
| OvenWerks | then ctl-alt-F7 should take you back to the login screen | 19:47 |
| OvenWerks | if you do this whiole you are loged in, xfce will kindly rewrite all the bad settings in for you :P | 19:48 |
| zurn | OvenWerks: thanks so much, I'll give this a shot once I get out of this Zoom meeting I'm stuck in | 19:49 |
