[05:44] <LOADMYPIXEL> Hello world
[15:07] <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
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <OvenWerks> that is probably a question beyond our particular expertise, I would ask in #ubuntu
[15:10] <OvenWerks> the underlaying OS is still ubuntu
[15:11] <OvenWerks> The installer is also from ubuntu
[15:12] <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
[15:14] <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
[15:17] <john6> jukebohi: I've tried this and I got ^C when I only pressed c with ctrl. Maybe your shift key is not functioning?
[15:23] <john6> jukebohi: also I noticed I wasn't using xterm. I got GNOME Terminal instead. I don't know does it make a difference?
[15:28] <OvenWerks> oh right I do not have xterm either.
[15:30] <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
[15:31] <OvenWerks> I don't know, xubuntu installs both xfce4-term and xterm
[15:33] <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.
[15:34] <john6> jukebohi: Good luck with install!
[15:37] <OvenWerks> xterm is old and may use different stuff. I do not think it has been actively developed besides maintained
[15:39] <jukebohi> yeah.. now it passed where the error previously occurred
[15:40] <john6> jukebohi: https://askubuntu.com/questions/237942/how-does-copy-paste-work-with-xterm
[15:41] <john6> jukebohi: so what I understand xterm functionality is different!
[15:48] <OvenWerks> generally use the mouse to highlight and then the middle mouse button to paste...
[15:49] <OvenWerks> no key presses needed... that is why I actually had to try pasting with the kb :)
[17:34] <victor777> How to change lockscreen background in 20.04
[17:34] <victor777> easy method please ....
[18:52] <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?
[18:55] <john6> Connor76: I think I saw somewhere at ubuntustudio page something about next release is going to be KDE.
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[19:02] <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...
[19:09] <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.
[19:11] <john6> zurn: I mean stranger things can appear when there's not enough space.
[19:11] <john6> *things normalize
[19:25] <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!)
[19:26] <zurn> I suppose my real question is whether the default Xfce settings that came with Ubuntu Studio 18.04 are available somewhere
[19:39] <OvenWerks> if you remove the xfce stuff from ~/.config that should put it back to stck
[19:42] <OvenWerks> rm -r ~/.config/xfce4
[19:42] <OvenWerks> or, probably better,
[19:43] <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
[19:44] <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
[19:45] <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.
[19:46] <OvenWerks> anyway after that you should have a normal terminal prompt: user@machine:~$
[19:47] <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
[19:48] <OvenWerks> if you do this whiole you are loged in, xfce will kindly rewrite all the bad settings in for you :P
[19:49] <zurn> OvenWerks: thanks so much, I'll give this a shot once I get out of this Zoom meeting I'm stuck in
