=== housecat is now known as dax [05:44] Hello world [15:07] 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 [15:09] 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 [15:10] that is probably a question beyond our particular expertise, I would ask in #ubuntu [15:10] the underlaying OS is still ubuntu [15:11] The installer is also from ubuntu [15:12] why doesn't ctrl-shift-c work in xterm? It goes into the shell as a ^C, instead of copying [15:12] .. copying what was painted with the cursor [15:14] I gonna remove the encrypted home-dir anyways as I use another method to encrypt the things that need to be encrypted [15:14] I just tried that here and it copied... I then did ctl-shift-v to paste to verify [15:14] I think my information insecurity issue is deeper than OS-level [15:17] jukebohi: I've tried this and I got ^C when I only pressed c with ctrl. Maybe your shift key is not functioning? [15:23] jukebohi: also I noticed I wasn't using xterm. I got GNOME Terminal instead. I don't know does it make a difference? [15:28] oh right I do not have xterm either. [15:30] oh I was using the wrong program? [15:30] I removed the age old crypted dir that contained nothing that wasn't elsewhere and trying the install again [15:31] I don't know, xubuntu installs both xfce4-term and xterm [15:33] 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. [15:34] jukebohi: Good luck with install! [15:37] xterm is old and may use different stuff. I do not think it has been actively developed besides maintained [15:39] yeah.. now it passed where the error previously occurred [15:40] jukebohi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/237942/how-does-copy-paste-work-with-xterm [15:41] jukebohi: so what I understand xterm functionality is different! [15:48] generally use the mouse to highlight and then the middle mouse button to paste... [15:49] no key presses needed... that is why I actually had to try pasting with the kb :) [17:34] How to change lockscreen background in 20.04 [17:34] easy method please .... [18:52] 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? [18:55] Connor76: I think I saw somewhere at ubuntustudio page something about next release is going to be KDE. [18:57] 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 [18:58] 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] *SSD [19:02] 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... [19:09] 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. [19:11] zurn: I mean stranger things can appear when there's not enough space. [19:11] *things normalize [19:25] 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!) [19:26] I suppose my real question is whether the default Xfce settings that came with Ubuntu Studio 18.04 are available somewhere [19:39] if you remove the xfce stuff from ~/.config that should put it back to stck [19:42] rm -r ~/.config/xfce4 [19:42] or, probably better, [19:43] mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bad [19:43] that way all the old settings are there if you wish to grab some of them [19:44] It is best to do this while logged out [19:44] so at the logout screen: [19:44] press ctl-alt-F1 which should give yu a full screen terminal with a login prompt [19:45] 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. [19:46] anyway after that you should have a normal terminal prompt: user@machine:~$ [19:47] there you can type: mv ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4.bad [19:47] then type exit [19:47] then ctl-alt-F7 should take you back to the login screen [19:48] if you do this whiole you are loged in, xfce will kindly rewrite all the bad settings in for you :P [19:49] OvenWerks: thanks so much, I'll give this a shot once I get out of this Zoom meeting I'm stuck in === JTa1 is now known as JTa
