[01:14] yo wtf [01:14] batter manager sometimes makes screen fully black darkness level when I mistakenly scroll too far over it [01:14] battery [01:14] is there any way to enforce a "minimum" brightness level? === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [09:53] I upgraded to 20.04 64 bits and now there is no trash icon. What's the default behavior when I delet a file? Does it still go to the trash or does it get automatically erased? [09:55] frad, 'Delete' option removes the files for good. [09:56] ok, pressing 'supr' nukes the file [09:58] is there a default live usb maker packaged with xubuntu? [10:01] frad, if the disks is installed you can use it for usb writing. [10:02] * diogenes_ is not sure if gnome-disk-utility is there by default. [10:03] do you mean command 'diskd' from deb fdutils (5.5-20060227-8) diogenes_ ? [10:05] yup [10:07] wait [10:07] frad, in menu type: disks [10:08] sudo apt install disks [10:08] Reading package lists... Done E: Unable to locate package disks [10:08] it may be disksd [10:08] diskd* [10:08] sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility [10:24] It would be better do a fresh installation instead upgrade but you've done it already. [10:43] vimart, is it always better to fresh install instead of upgrading? [10:47] always? no [10:49] so how do I choose? [10:53] depends [10:53] upgrading is the default route [10:53] fresh install is a fallback [10:54] ideally, you first create a backup and do the upgrade [10:54] if it fails or does not give the expected result, you do a fresh install [10:54] or revert back to the previous state [10:55] got it [10:55] not having to reinstall all the time is a big selling point of linux distributions after all [10:55] brainwash, isn't the same with windows or mac? [10:56] it is, but quite some people still live in the past :) [10:56] where you had to reinstall windows 95 every few weeks [10:57] ... who uses windows 95 nowadays? [10:57] o [10:57] sorry [10:57] not nowadays, but some people still have that old mindset [10:57] windows = reinstall often [10:58] windows = many viruses and malware [10:58] etc. [10:59] lol, ok, I wasn't aware of that [11:00] It's kinda difficult to type in on my new Xubuntu 20.04 on my laptop because of Touchpad is there a way to switch it off while typing on keyboard? [11:03] vimart: you don't have this switch? https://i.stack.imgur.com/pX6It.png [11:04] I looked for something like that in settings, I'll have a lookt at it now [11:05] well it appeared I had to change the device [11:05] to see Touchpad option [11:05] thanks brainwash [11:05] nice [13:24] hi [16:47] hi [16:50] got adventurous and hooked a 3rd monitor to a radeon HD 7750 (7yrs old) on xubuntu 18.04, so far works but the desktop background in the third leaves window-drag-rubbish. who's my prime suspect, xfce, 18.04 or radeon driver? no big issue, just would like to solve [20:39] hi, so i've just done a fresh xubuntu install. i cannot shutdown or restart the machine, both options are greyed out. Logout isn't. [20:39] When I logout and get into my login manager, I also have no option to shutdown [21:20] ejr didnt wait 2 mins. [21:33] maybe found how to shutdown [22:23] I have a hdd encrypted with luks. Id like to remove luks but keep the data. Is there an easier way than copying all data and reformatting the hdd? [22:32] frad: cryptsetup-reencrypt --decrypt [22:32] but certainly you'll want to ensure your backups are ingood shape before any such operations [22:33] mmm... [22:34] it would be wiser to copy data and nuke, less time wasted [22:41] hey, does xubuntu support i686 from 20.04 and on? [23:09] exit70[m]: Nope. [23:10] k [23:13] No Ubuntu flavor can, since the archive just isn't there. [23:50] how do i back up all my files to a usb ? [23:52] jdwwatts: I kinda prefer ' rsync ' for this function. [23:54] I saw that . but didnt try it do downlaod and install it an then it will do the saving of files ? [23:59] jdwwatts: Verry versitile - and comes with a learning curve to be surmounted. Gets the job done ricky Tic.
