[03:14] <xu-help18w> can the panel (taskbar) be moved to the bottom of the page ?
[03:19] <gnoob> I just figured it out
[03:20] <gnoob> go into the panel preferences, then uncheck, lock panel.
[03:21] <gnoob> Then on the left side of the panel you can use to drag it with the mouse
[03:21] <gnoob> oh, he gone...
[03:21] <gnoob> I TRIED!!!
[03:56] <nikolam> for 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.
[05:01] <gnoob> nikolam; is that a question or just a statement?
[05:04] <nikolam> I 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.
[05:10] <gnoob> ah, I see you are calling attention to it.
[08:31] <pragomer> Hi. 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] <pragomer> Never seen this or happened to me. Any idea what could be wrong?
[10:16] <xu-help55w> Hi, 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.
[10:17] <xu-help55w> So is there a way to get into a CLI without any graphics?
[10:36] <anotheryou> Hi. Can I set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows in a specific way? (e.g. 100% height, 33% width)
[10:36] <anotheryou> I don't want to commit to i3 or something, but love a 2/3rd 1/3rd window split sometimes
[11:38] <anotheryou> ah and how would I enable multimedia keys?
[11:38] <anotheryou> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XfceMultimediaKeys I see no events here
[11:40] <diogenes_> anotheryou, you mean play/pause next/previous volume up/down?
[11:43] <anotheryou> diogenes_: exactly
[11:44] <anotheryou> diogenes_: volume works on the laptop, but not on my mouse which works fine with other OS'
[11:44] <anotheryou> "xbindkeys -k" also sees no event
[11:45] <diogenes_> anotheryou, do you have xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin added to the panel?
[11:56] <anotheryou> diogenes_: I think so. I see an audio panel thing
[11:56] <anotheryou> sorry for the delay in my reply :)
[11:57] <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.png
[11:59] <anotheryou> diogenes_: found the setting. It's enabled with the mediakeys checkbox below too
[11:59] <anotheryou> still not working though. maybe it's the mouse driver or something
[12:02] <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-command
[12:06] <anotheryou> ah oh, thanks for the hitns
[12:06] <anotheryou> hints
[12:06] <anotheryou> so...
[12:06] <anotheryou> the 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?
[12:09] <diogenes_> anotheryou, Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts > Add
[12:10] <anotheryou> diogenes_: again doesn't register any keybresses
[12:10] <anotheryou> presses
[12:11] <anotheryou> well.. it's a comfort thing. I guess I can map something to my real keyboard
[12:11] <anotheryou> thank you for your help!
[12:11] <diogenes_> you're welcome
[17:47] <gnoob> Is it just me or is resising a windows from a bottom corner always hard to do?
[17:48] <diogenes_> gnoob, it's hard from any corner
[17:50] <gnoob> diogenes_: I can agree with that but the bottom has alway seemed worse.
[17:52] <diogenes_> gnoob, as a test you can try this: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1326779/
[17:56] <gnoob> Can i really just click the "Install" from that page and it will install?
[17:59] <diogenes_> gnoob, no, download the archive, open settings > icons and drag-and-drop the archive there.
[17:59] <diogenes_> i mean settins > appearance > themes
[18:01] <diogenes_> Style tab and just throw it there then look for it in settings >window manager
[18:03] <gnoob> diogenes_: Sorry, I know this should be easy.  Under "Appearnce" I see  "Style, Icons, Fonts, Settings"
[18:03] <gnoob> Style has themes but I can't seem to drag or add any.
[18:03] <gnrp> gnoob: I made a shortcut. Alt+Left mouseclick is resizing windows
[18:04] <diogenes_> gnoob, ok then unpack it in /home/user/.themes
[18:05] <diogenes_> create .themes folder if it's not there.
[18:05] <ziopeppus2> hi everyone
[18:06] <diogenes_> !hi | ziopeppus2
[18:08] <gnoob> gnrp: neat, but it seems to be Alt+right mouseclick?
[18:22] <gnoob> diogenes_: OK, I have it installed.  :) finally
[18:22] <gnrp> gnoob: Ah, yes, sorry
[18:22] <gnrp> left is movin
[18:22] <gnoob> gnrp: that them does seem to grab better.
[18:23] <diogenes_> gnrp, so it works better?
[18:23] <diogenes_> sorry gnoob
[18:25] <gnoob> diogenes_: yes, that does seem better.  The corners of the windows are a little jaged.  Otherwise it looks nice.
[18:26] <diogenes_> gnoob, there are a few more good ones.
[18:28] <gnoob> I'll need to browns through that page.
[18:28] <gnoob> brows
[18:30] <diogenes_> gnoob, this one is good too: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1311035/
[18:35] <gnoob> that's kinda nice.  It changed my borders but not the windows colors.  I guess Aspect did the same thing.
[20:07] <gnoob> I 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.
