[01:14] <pikapika> yo wtf
[01:14] <pikapika> batter manager sometimes makes screen fully black darkness level when I mistakenly scroll too far over it
[01:14] <pikapika> battery
[01:14] <pikapika> is there any way to enforce a "minimum" brightness level?
[09:53] <frad> 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] <diogenes_> frad, 'Delete' option removes the files for good.
[09:56] <frad> ok, pressing 'supr' nukes the file
[09:58] <frad> is there a default live usb maker packaged with xubuntu?
[10:01] <diogenes_> 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] <frad> do you mean   command 'diskd' from deb fdutils (5.5-20060227-8) diogenes_ ?
[10:05] <frad> yup
[10:07] <frad> wait
[10:07] <diogenes_> frad, in menu type: disks
[10:08] <frad> sudo apt install disks
[10:08] <frad> Reading package lists... Done E: Unable to locate package disks
[10:08] <frad> it may be disksd
[10:08] <frad> diskd*
[10:08] <diogenes_> sudo apt install gnome-disk-utility
[10:24] <vimart> It would be better do a fresh installation instead upgrade but you've done it already.
[10:43] <frad> vimart, is it always better to fresh install instead of upgrading?
[10:47] <brainwash> always? no
[10:49] <frad> so how do I choose?
[10:53] <brainwash> depends
[10:53] <brainwash> upgrading is the default route
[10:53] <brainwash> fresh install is a fallback
[10:54] <brainwash> ideally, you first create a backup and do the upgrade
[10:54] <brainwash> if it fails or does not give the expected result, you do a fresh install
[10:54] <brainwash> or revert back to the previous state
[10:55] <frad> got it
[10:55] <brainwash> not having to reinstall all the time is a big selling point of linux distributions after all
[10:55] <frad> brainwash, isn't the same with windows or mac?
[10:56] <brainwash> it is, but quite some people still live in the past :)
[10:56] <brainwash> where you had to reinstall windows 95 every few weeks
[10:57] <frad> ... who uses windows 95 nowadays?
[10:57] <frad> o
[10:57] <frad> sorry
[10:57] <brainwash> not nowadays, but some people still have that old mindset
[10:57] <brainwash> windows = reinstall often
[10:58] <brainwash> windows = many viruses and malware
[10:58] <brainwash> etc.
[10:59] <frad> lol, ok, I wasn't aware of that
[11:00] <vimart> 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] <brainwash> vimart: you don't have this switch? https://i.stack.imgur.com/pX6It.png
[11:04] <vimart> I looked for something like that in settings, I'll have a lookt at it now
[11:05] <vimart> well it appeared I had to change the device
[11:05] <vimart> to see Touchpad option
[11:05] <vimart> thanks brainwash
[11:05] <brainwash> nice
[13:24] <xu-irc52w> hi
[16:47] <deadrom> hi
[16:50] <deadrom> 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] <ejr> 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] <ejr> When I logout and get into my login manager, I also have no option to shutdown
[21:20] <tripelb> ejr didnt wait 2 mins.
[21:33] <deadrom> maybe found how to shutdown
[22:23] <frad> 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] <tomreyn> frad: cryptsetup-reencrypt --decrypt
[22:32] <tomreyn> but certainly you'll want to ensure your backups are ingood shape before any such operations
[22:33] <frad> mmm...
[22:34] <frad> it would be wiser to copy data and nuke, less time wasted
[22:41] <exit70[m]> hey, does xubuntu support i686 from 20.04 and on?
[23:09] <Unit193> exit70[m]: Nope.
[23:10] <exit70[m]> k
[23:13] <Unit193> No Ubuntu flavor can, since the archive just isn't there.
[23:50] <jdwwatts> how do i back up all my files to a usb ?
[23:52] <Bashing-om> jdwwatts: I kinda prefer ' rsync ' for this function.
[23:54] <jdwwatts> I saw that . but didnt try it do downlaod and install it an then it will do the saving of files ?
[23:59] <Bashing-om> jdwwatts: Verry versitile - and comes with a learning curve to be surmounted. Gets the job done ricky Tic.
