[02:16] <tripelb> There is a new problem between distros with 20.04. Sum: the display below the panel is distorted for mate and xbuntu on my hp probook. - I worked with mate and someone suggested it is the compositor. He mentioned 3, one was compiz. Marco.  Compton. -- Can you help me/us figure out the problem? I assume my laptop is not an outlier.
[04:21] <StupidLikeAFox> I can't seem to side scroll- either in a browser or something I opened in image viewer
[04:22] <StupidLikeAFox> I don't see anything that looks relevant in mouse settings
[04:24] <StupidLikeAFox> Actually, normal scroll changes images instead of scrolling in image viewer, and neither scroll works in pinta
[04:25] <StupidLikeAFox> Yeah, normal works but side doesn't in LibreOffice calc, it seems broken system wide
[06:35] <Belph> I seem to have problems getting a WiFi hotspot to work. journalctl output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/s33BWKz75S/ My WiFi Adapter is Belkin N300 (F7D2101) marked as "works out of the box" on help.ubuntu
[06:38] <diogenes_> Belph, it says: Activation: (wifi) Ad-Hoc network creation took too long, failing activation.
[06:39] <diogenes_> Ad-Hoc is not hotspot, you chose a different option.
[06:40] <Belph> Yeah, I noticed that the first time reading the log. I used the "Create new WiFi Network" option in the network-manager GUI to make this. Let me try setting it to Hotspot, iirc I got a similar result.
[06:42] <Belph> "Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device enp3s0 not available because profile is not compatible with device (mismatching interface name))." Sounds like I have to enable network sharing for my wired connection.
[06:43] <diogenes_> Belph, nope, tell me how you create the hotspot.
[06:45] <Belph> NM-tray-icon > Create new WiFi Network... > set " Wifi Security" to "WPA & WPA2 Personal" > entered test credentials and clicked "create"
[06:45] <Belph> This created the Ad-hoc. I then for my second try just edited the created network so it would have Hotspot as mode instead of Ad-hoc
[06:46] <diogenes_> Belph, ok let's do it a different way, first run in terminal: nm-connection-editor
[06:46] <Belph> Done. Editor is open.
[06:46] <diogenes_> click here: https://i.imgur.com/5yylZc1.png
[06:47] <diogenes_> on +
[06:47] <Belph> Giving me a wide range of options to choose from.
[06:47] <diogenes_> pick wifi and click 'create'.
[06:48] <Belph> Done
[06:49] <diogenes_> now modify the info like this: https://i.imgur.com/w99Era5.png
[06:49] <diogenes_> exactly like in the pic, click on Mode: and pick Hotspot
[06:49] <Belph> Done
[06:49] <diogenes_> and no security so far, click save.
[06:50] <Belph> Okay
[06:51] <Belph> The profile is created now but not active, right?
[06:51] <diogenes_> now click on the network icon and pick 'Connect to hidden wifi' https://i.imgur.com/yjCCUM6.png
[06:52] <Belph> https://imgur.com/QQbysjf.png
[06:53] <Belph> Everything is greyed out, I am not able to connect.
[06:53] <diogenes_> Belph, i asked no security, we're testing now, pick only 'myhotspot' and security: none
[06:54] <Belph> https://imgur.com/DID90Ug.png
[06:54] <Belph> I did follow those instructions. I have tried the exact same steps before.
[06:55] <diogenes_> i mean here you pick 'none' https://i.imgur.com/eRXy45z.png
[06:56] <Belph> It automatically fills in WPA3 and greys it out.
[06:56] <Belph> After selecting the "myhotspot"
[06:57] <diogenes_> hmmm that's weird, hen try to set the security and a password.
[06:57] <diogenes_> then*
[06:59] <Belph> 1. https://imgur.com/qQriVG7.png 2. https://imgur.com/JdS50lo.png
[06:59] <Belph> It appears to always set it to WPA3 Personal
[07:00] <diogenes_> Belph, ok here: https://i.imgur.com/co7RLHz.png
[07:01] <diogenes_> click on Device and pick the right one.
[07:01] <Belph> Same result :(
[07:02] <diogenes_> hmm does your wifi adapter even work? does it see the wireless networks?
[07:03] <Belph> It worked two days ago under Windows 10 as hotspot
[07:03] <Belph> and yeah sorry I see all normal WiFi networks
[07:05] <Belph> Okay, for testing I just connected to a WiFi network and it successfully connected.
[07:06] <diogenes_> it could be that you need a different driver for it, it might not support AP.
[07:07] <Belph> r8712u is the listed driver on help.ubuntu, can I somehow check if that one is installed?
[07:07] <diogenes_> Belph, run: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999
[07:07] <diogenes_> share the link.
[07:08] <Belph> It didn't generate a link.
[07:09] <diogenes_> Belph, sudo apt install netcat
[07:10] <Belph> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/KX7ZZPB3xd/ I am sorry, no output.
[07:11] <diogenes_> ok just run this: lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3
[07:11] <Belph> No output either, the "lspci -nnk" however works
[07:12] <diogenes_> inxi -Nc0
[07:13] <Belph> https://termbin.com/746x
[07:13] <diogenes_> yeah it uses r8712u
[07:14] <diogenes_> ok i gtg now and i'd suggest you take a look at this script which helped me once to create the hotspot: https://github.com/oblique/create_ap
[07:14] <Belph> Okay, thanks you very much. :D
[07:15] <diogenes_> come with a feedback, good luck!

[07:17] <tlrrd> Hi, an asus ux330ua laptop, fresh xubuntu 20.04 install. when I reopen the lip after a suspend, the mouse moves but I'm unable to click on anything. dropping to an Alt-f1 console I tried DISPLAY=:0 xkill on a hunch, and got "unable to grab cursor", which I've not seen before.doing sudo service lightdm restart fixes it.... while destroying my
[07:17] <tlrrd> session (which says to my mind that it is not the touchpad driver).
[07:57] <xu-irc21w> hello i cant execute java files (.command in this case), no matter which version i install it always says "Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException: Module java.xml.bind not found"
[07:57] <xu-irc21w> couldnt find anything online on this
[08:05] <xu-irc21w> anyone?
[08:06] <diogenes_> xu-irc21w, ?
[08:06] <xu-irc21w> i cant execute java files (.command in this case), no matter which
[08:07] <xu-irc21w> version i install it always says "Error occurred during initialization
[08:07] <xu-irc21w> of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException: Module java.xml.bind not
[08:07] <xu-irc21w> found"
[08:07] <xu-irc21w> woops sorry for the formatting
[08:08] <diogenes_> xu-irc21w, /j #java
[08:09] <xu-irc21w> says i need to be invited
[08:10] <diogenes_> sorry: /j ##java
[08:11] <xu-irc21w> still says i cant join :/
[08:12] <Belph> What's the message? I was able to join.
[08:12] <diogenes_> oh it means you need to register.
[08:17] <Belph> I'm lurking the java channel x] they didn't make it
[09:26] <Belph> Desktop Environments are usually rendered with OpenGL, right? Is there the possibility to render them with Vulkan? (just a weird thought)
[10:00] <brainwash> Belph: possible with wayland
[10:05] <Belph> XFCE4 does not support Wayland, does it? I read that GNOME and KDE both already do.
[10:06] <brainwash> correct
[10:56] <tripelb> Hi i have a display problem in 20.04 that shows up in mate and xubuntu but not ubuntu.   Someone here had ideas that had words like marco compton and compiz -- but what we tried only made ot look as good as safe mode aka readable but not good.  Ideas?
[10:57] <tripelb> Yo diogenes_ or maybe you are gone
[11:06] <brainwash> tripelb: amd gpu?
[11:08] <tripelb> 4 am. I crashed (fell asleep with the lights on, heh. I had a coty council meeting on, out loud over an old phone. 7+ hours of it. Lasted till 10.
[11:09] <tripelb> Now it is 4 am here.
[11:10] <tripelb> sm0ruxo I thought I would check in where the night people live with my problem... depends on
[11:11] <tripelb> So
[11:12] <tripelb> Not sm0rux  odd problem my first letter get expanded sometimes, only on freenode channels
[11:19] <tripelb> 20.04 screen verucals dont line up and display unusable but top panel fine -- in mate AND xubuntu -- ubuntu is fine. No answer from their channels. (Same horrible adding their de to ubuntu)  which in these things is unlike the other?
[11:20] <diogenes_> tripelb, so you're distro hopping now :) another sleepless night in Santa Monica?
[11:21] <tripelb> I've been working on this for days.
[11:21] <diogenes_> is the display unusable with Xubuntu too?
[11:22] <tripelb> I don't like standard Ubuntu de. I've been using it with a mate DE for years with 18.04 and never had any problem
[11:22] <tripelb> I like to have an application tree. I like to be able to see which programs are installed without typing in each name.
[11:22] <tripelb> Yes I've tried a bunch of tweaks. It just gets tweaky. The application tree is there and then it vanishes
[11:23] <tripelb> Besides it's a contribution to mate and xubuntu to find out what is making this unpleasant result happen
[11:24] <bluesabre> tripelb: does it look like this? https://twitter.com/Xubuntu/status/1255542362287333378
[11:24] <tripelb> Yes on both ma and xu. But the thin top panel shows just fine
[11:24] <tripelb> Oh my darling blue saber
[11:24] <tripelb> I'm going to save that page and go back to bed happy.
[11:25] <tripelb> Don't be upset I'm a woman
[11:25] <bluesabre> :)
[11:27] <tripelb> TheCoolest[m]e late night rides again.
[11:34] <tripelb> ..thank you. Gnite
[13:28] <xu-irc43w> Hello everyone, did any of you experienced issues using Zoom on XFCE recently (screen freezing for 2-4 minutes) ?
[13:57] <ipkh> Hello, my Xubuntu desktop keeps suspending the session on long breaks causing Folding at Home to get a Pause command.  This behavior was not present in 18.04 and no amount of fiddling with power settings seems to fix this.
[15:25] <jdwwatts> scince my new install yesterday one blue tooth error message came up but everything looks fine also while installing i chose the one that divided the hard drive  into two equal partitions because there were a few documents  i thought i would move over before getting rid of the old system nothing terribly important. I was able to connect to my phone  with bluetooth and the error  message has not returned
[15:27] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, so i guess that's good news?
[15:27] <jdwwatts> Is here a command to move the documents from the old to the new system ?
[15:27] <jdwwatts> yes very good
[15:28] <diogenes_> jdwwatts, just mount the old partition in thunar and copy all you need.
[15:29] <jdwwatts> good whats thunar?
[15:30] <diogenes_> the file manager.
[15:30] <jdwwatts> oh i found it
[16:59] <TheCoolest[m]> I was @ed?
[17:01] <TheCoolest[m]> tripelb
