xu-help18wcan the panel (taskbar) be moved to the bottom of the page ?03:14
gnoobI just figured it out03:19
gnoobgo into the panel preferences, then uncheck, lock panel.03:20
gnoobThen on the left side of the panel you can use to drag it with the mouse03:21
gnooboh, he gone...03:21
gnoobI TRIED!!!03:21
nikolamfor some reason, weather-applet wasn't displaying weather data, untill I wnt to properties and then it seems like refreshed data by location and now it works.03:56
gnoobnikolam; is that a question or just a statement?05:01
nikolamI think it is just a statement, since it seems if fixes itself after going to properties.. so it's something like.. semi-bug. Or source have been changed or something about update or just not shutting down system properly etc.05:04
gnoobah, I see you are calling attention to it.05:10

pragomerHi. I installed Xubuntu 20.04 on a PC with a Nvidia Geforce GTX1650. In only get 640x480 and the "additional drivers" dialogue shows a "manual installed driver":08:31

pragomerNever seen this or happened to me. Any idea what could be wrong?08:31
xu-help55wHi, I have a problem. Yesterday I had some problems with no sound, so I purged 'alsa-utils', after which I only have artefacts. GUI is all white with weird black artefacts and the CLI on tty1 is black with white artefacts for each character - making any attempts to correct the problem pretty impossible.10:16
xu-help55wSo is there a way to get into a CLI without any graphics?10:17
anotheryouHi. Can I set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows in a specific way? (e.g. 100% height, 33% width)10:36
anotheryouI don't want to commit to i3 or something, but love a 2/3rd 1/3rd window split sometimes10:36
anotheryouah and how would I enable multimedia keys?11:38
anotheryouhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/XfceMultimediaKeys I see no events here11:38
diogenes_anotheryou, you mean play/pause next/previous volume up/down?11:40
anotheryoudiogenes_: exactly11:43
anotheryoudiogenes_: volume works on the laptop, but not on my mouse which works fine with other OS'11:44
anotheryou"xbindkeys -k" also sees no event11:44
diogenes_anotheryou, do you have xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin added to the panel?11:45
anotheryoudiogenes_: I think so. I see an audio panel thing11:56
anotheryousorry for the delay in my reply :)11:56
diogenes_anotheryou, right click on the panel > panel > Panel Preferences > Items and see if you have the one on the picture: https://i.imgur.com/Ch6rcXJ.png11:57
anotheryoudiogenes_: found the setting. It's enabled with the mediakeys checkbox below too11:59
anotheryoustill not working though. maybe it's the mouse driver or something11:59
diogenes_try to follow this workaround how to register the mouse keys if they are pressed and what's the code so try it out: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106736/detect-if-mouse-button-is-pressed-then-invoke-a-script-or-command12:02
anotheryouah oh, thanks for the hitns12:06
anotheryouhints12:06
anotheryouso...12:06
anotheryouthe mouse (also) registers as a keyboard, I see that, but it doesn't have any keys "down" when I hit the media keys. I assume I need to assign a keyboard model with media keys to it. Do you know how?12:06
diogenes_anotheryou, Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts > Add12:09
anotheryoudiogenes_: again doesn't register any keybresses12:10
anotheryoupresses12:10
anotheryouwell.. it's a comfort thing. I guess I can map something to my real keyboard12:11
anotheryouthank you for your help!12:11
diogenes_you're welcome12:11
gnoobIs it just me or is resising a windows from a bottom corner always hard to do?17:47
diogenes_gnoob, it's hard from any corner17:48
gnoobdiogenes_: I can agree with that but the bottom has alway seemed worse.17:50
diogenes_gnoob, as a test you can try this: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1326779/17:52
gnoobCan i really just click the "Install" from that page and it will install?17:56
diogenes_gnoob, no, download the archive, open settings > icons and drag-and-drop the archive there.17:59
diogenes_i mean settins > appearance > themes17:59
diogenes_Style tab and just throw it there then look for it in settings >window manager18:01
gnoobdiogenes_: Sorry, I know this should be easy.  Under "Appearnce" I see  "Style, Icons, Fonts, Settings"18:03
gnoobStyle has themes but I can't seem to drag or add any.18:03
gnrpgnoob: I made a shortcut. Alt+Left mouseclick is resizing windows18:03
diogenes_gnoob, ok then unpack it in /home/user/.themes18:04
diogenes_create .themes folder if it's not there.18:05
ziopeppus2hi everyone18:05
diogenes_!hi | ziopeppus218:06
ubottuziopeppus2: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay!18:06
gnoobgnrp: neat, but it seems to be Alt+right mouseclick?18:08
gnoobdiogenes_: OK, I have it installed.  :) finally18:22
gnrpgnoob: Ah, yes, sorry18:22
gnrpleft is movin18:22
gnoobgnrp: that them does seem to grab better.18:22
diogenes_gnrp, so it works better?18:23
diogenes_sorry gnoob18:23
gnoobdiogenes_: yes, that does seem better.  The corners of the windows are a little jaged.  Otherwise it looks nice.18:25
diogenes_gnoob, there are a few more good ones.18:26
gnoobI'll need to browns through that page.18:28
gnoobbrows18:28
diogenes_gnoob, this one is good too: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1311035/18:30
gnoobthat's kinda nice.  It changed my borders but not the windows colors.  I guess Aspect did the same thing.18:35
gnoobI am running xubuntu as a persistant USB drive.  I am having an issue where whenever my laptop wakes up after being idle I have to press "Windows-key + P" to change the display back to the 2nd monitor.20:07
