guivercIs there a reason why a lubuntu 20.04 image won't provide a "Try Lubuntu without installing"  (UEFI i gather, i get it on VM, it's start lubuntu matching manual on some hardware)  [https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2444909]07:19

tommy``i've a question, i've installed yesterday lubuntu on my very old pc and is totally awesome and fast! This morning it seems i found pc frozen, i noticed that screensaver was active and seems like it was his fault, how that is possible? thanks11:20
guiverctommy``, what release of lubuntu?  I assume it wasn't turned off, just left on with xscreensaver running?  does it switch to a text terminal (eg. ctrl+alt+f4) and back?12:28
tommy``hey guiverc, hi, i installed latest 20.04 LTS, and yes it wasn't turned off, i had to press reset button on computer because nothing seems worked12:29
tommy``i didn't tried ctrl+alt+f412:29
guivercif you try it, it switches to a text terminal .. other options are SysRq key combinations to tell (linux) kernel what to do (assuming gui has locked up, I'd not expect that on Lubuntu with good pc. you could run ramtest maybe if it occurs again a few times12:31
guivercfyi:  use ctrl+alt+F1 to switch back to GUI (away from tty4)12:31
tommy``my is pretty old Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q9400  @ 2.66GHz with 8GB DDR2 667mhz12:35
tommy``pc*12:35
guivercdon't knock that thing... this is my primary pc and it's "dell [optiplex] 960 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350)"12:36
tommy``nvidia GTX550ti there12:37
tommy``so i could assume is ram issue?12:37
guiverci would run memtest86() for sure, but esp. if desktop, I'd open it up and have a look at motherboard (any swollen caps etc...)12:38
tommy``can i see, maybe, the log of this night? when happened the issue?12:38
guiverc`dmesg` won't help (it's current session), but there maybe some clues in `journalctl`; for sure it's worth a look12:39
guivercand in case a program crashed, I'd also look in /var/crash/  (looking for crash file, not everything leaves it, but most system programs do inc. xscreensaver I believe)12:40
tommy`` /var/crash seems empty12:41
tommy``I've this on journalctl at 3:46 am12:42
tommy``https://paste.ofcode.org/DvJxgjpP6TVrHrP2JHAhA312:42
tommy``also some of:12:43
tommy``kernel: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: fifo: read fault at 000044a000 engine 05 [BAR3] client 07 [BAR_READ] reason 02 [PAGE_NOT_PRESENT] on channel -1 [021febf000 unknown]12:43
guivercsorry I don't recognize anything there  (tr3nton nouveau lines)12:44
tommy`` tr3nton is  pc name12:44
* guiverc guessed that from detail12:44
tommy``also: https://paste.ofcode.org/pp4e5Prq45RyjvY79LyST912:45
tommy``those are red messages on journalctl12:45
guiverci suspect the second paste is only normal messages.. I'd compare those messages with what is normal for your box (given new install, you won't currently have much to compare to)12:46
guivercif you selected it because of time & suspected crash, ignore my "normal messages", it could be useful when you have more, or to others12:47
tommy``the screensaver by default activate itself after 10minutes?12:47
guivercsounds correct... rather short in my opinion, so I change it, plus flurry to something else too12:48
tommy``i can check what happened from 1:10 am because I slept at 112:48
tommy``nothing till 3.41 am, then: nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Xorg[1242]: failed to idle channel 9 [Xorg[1242]]12:49
guivercI'd probably ignore it (noting it of course), and look for pattern, running memtest & if easily opened, check of motherboard  (if it was hot, is dust/etc preventing good air flow, need a clean inside etc...)12:50
tommy``I checked motherboard 1 week ago, I've done the "summer clean" with compress air12:51
guiverc:) no need to check again.12:51
tommy``yes i suspect also an issue combined with nvidia driveer and 3d screensaver images12:51
guivercxscreensaver can be changed to blank only12:52
tommy``https://paste.ofcode.org/kf3c5tiEacTNRnMUBNnfu312:53
tommy``that file have 120 inside12:54
guivercyou pasted that before (looks identical anyway, even if url differs), I didn't know how to interpret that sorry (I've seen it before, but can't recall anything sorry)12:55
tommy``ok no problem :D12:55
tommy``regarding changing theme and aspect, i've installed Adapta-Colorpack but i don't know where i can change it12:56
guivercif xscreensaver crashed, I'd have switched to [text] term (ctrl+alt+f4), login & look around... if needs be killed xscreensaver (I get the feeling you feel it's the issue with nouveau issues).. and expect to re-gain control12:56
tommy``ok i'll do that if re-happens, thanks mate ;)12:57
guivercif you mean https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1190851/; it's a GTK theme so not usable on a Qt (LXQt) based desktop, but could be used to theme gnome apps maybe.. you could expand & copy to a theme directory (in $HOME or /usr/share/..)12:58
guivercsee also https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/3/3.2/3.2.2/appearance.html?highlight=themes12:59
tommy``oh ok!13:02
guiverctommy``, this may also be helpful    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/468709/lxqt-what-are-the-qt-themes-widget-styles-and-how-to-install-new-ones  (the directories I alluded to are actually mentioned with proper detail, I missed sorry)13:02
guiverc(even if widget style isn't what you are after, the directory options was what I was looking for; something to paste so I didn't make typos)13:03
tommy``do you have some cool theme?13:04
guivercI'm probably close to the worst person to ask..13:05
tommy``ahah ok13:05
tommy``oh finally static ip issue seems fixed13:08
tommy``i've edited the file inside /etc/netplan/13:10
tommy``https://paste.ofcode.org/GAC6Lzgvkgcm7psgQBui4S13:11
tommy``is this good solution?13:11
tommy``for static ip obviously13:11
guiverci can't help with netplan sorry, fyi: you can also use ubuntu for non-Lubuntu specific questions (Lubuntu is an official flavor)13:11
lubot<N0um3n0> @tommy`` [<tommy``> do you have some cool theme?], https://gitlab.com/isseigx/lxqt-less-theme13:12
tommy``oh ok13:12
tommy``thanks lubot, checking13:13
guivercfyi:  it's N0um3n0; use a @ before name (on telegram, not IRC, bot links networks)13:13
tommy``ops :D13:13
* guiverc didn't use @N0.. so as to not ping the term of ..13:13
lubot<N0um3n0> ;)13:14
tommy``installed less theme N0um3n013:20
lubot<N0um3n0> @tommy`` [<tommy``> installed less theme N0um3n0], You have more here.... … https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/446/order/latest13:23
tommy``actually now i'm looking for some wallpaper13:25
guiverctommy``, if you `apt-cache search wallpapers` you can see all ubuntu/flavor wallpaper packages... some good ones are amongst them13:38
tommy``oh good to know let's do that13:39
guiverc(the packages are usually all wallpapers for a flavor/release, not a single wallpaper)13:39
