[07:10] <xubuntunoob> Wow! Hey everybody! I've been playing with Xubuntu for the past month or so and I've been all alone! So cool to see the usernames of so many Xubuntu fans!
[07:16] <xubuntunoob> Folks - I wonder if you can help me go back to plain old Xubuntu after I tried installing Kubuntu for a short while. I had an ordinary installation of Xubuntu 20.xxx LTS and I installed Kubuntu ... I think it was with the command "sudo apt install kubuntu-desktop". I tried it, thought it was cool and everything, but decided to stay with Xubuntu's
[07:16] <xubuntunoob> interface. I think I removed all the Kubuntu stuff ... but there's still this gigantic awful login screen that only appeared after I installed Kubuntu. How can I go back to the default login screen?
[07:21] <pmjdebruijn> I'm guessing you want to go back to lightdm
[07:21]  * pmjdebruijn has never messed with that
[07:21] <pmjdebruijn> stick around someone might know
[07:23] <xubuntunoob> Argh - I dunno what happened but I got disconnected
[07:24] <xubuntunoob> One guy responded saying that I probably want to go back to LightDM and that I should wait for someone to help me
[07:24] <xubuntunoob> that's the last thing I saw
[07:24] <well_laid_lawn> maybe try   dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[07:26] <xubuntunoob> I think I tried that last night at like 3am but I'm not sure. Let me try again to see if it does anything
[07:28] <xubuntunoob> Okay - I did it and it still gives me an absolutely enormous greeter - I don't think this is the original greeter, either
[07:50] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntunoob: that sounds like you have the kdm greeter in action - try removing it in the pacage manager
[07:50] <xubuntunoob> i removed all KDE related things
[07:51] <xubuntunoob> i think i got back to the default xubuntu greeter
[07:51] <xubuntunoob> now i just need to figure out how to resize it
[07:51] <xubuntunoob> I followed instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Greeter
[08:02] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntunoob: so it was lightdm you were using. Well done
[08:18] <xubuntunoob> Thanks, man! Still can't find out how to resize the greeter - any ideas?
[08:19] <well_laid_lawn> not offhand
[08:22] <diogenes_> xubuntunoob, greeter?
[08:23] <well_laid_lawn> yes he has a too large greeter and wants to resize it
[08:24] <well_laid_lawn> settings in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[08:24] <diogenes_> i suspect nvidia driver.
[08:29] <xubuntunoob> i don't have an nvidia card - intel graphics
[08:33] <diogenes_> xubuntunoob, see if there's anything useful in lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings gui.
[08:38] <xubuntunoob> unfortunately resizing is not in there :(
[08:38] <xubuntunoob> Just tried this and I can't get in my machine - have to ssh in: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1092699/how-to-adjust-display-settings-for-lightdm-greeter-on-18-04
[08:39] <xubuntunoob> had to reverse those changes via ssh. i'm back in with the desktop whew
[08:40] <diogenes_> xubuntunoob, maybe it will make sense to reinstall lightdm.
[08:40] <xubuntunoob> how would you recommend i do that?
[08:43] <xubuntunoob> with: dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[08:43] <xubuntunoob> ?
[08:44] <diogenes_> sudo apt reinstall lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
[08:44] <diogenes_> then reconfigure
[08:46] <xubuntunoob> I see. thank you
[08:47] <xubuntunoob> i'll try this now
[08:50] <xubuntunoob> besides restarting the machine, how do I reload lightdm to reflect these changes?
[08:50] <xubuntunoob> systemctl restart lightdm.service ???
[08:50] <diogenes_> yes
[09:02] <xubuntunoob> well,that was fun
[09:02] <xubuntunoob> still trying to resize the greeter
[09:02] <xubuntunoob> thanks for your help so far, diogenes
[17:22] <coconut> yes! xubuntu 20.04.1 got released!

[18:28] <professor-mad> hello how can use gtkpod to transfer mp3 to an iphone 6s
[18:31] <professor-mad> when i try to mount it i get this error
[18:31] <professor-mad> https://www.picpasteplus.com/v.php?i=061c3a3b83
[18:31] <professor-mad> any help
[18:31] <professor-mad> ?
[18:33] <diogenes_> professor-mad, if you really desperately need to mount ithings then try a live iso of MX-Linux, it has a builtin tool.
[18:40] <professor-mad> diogenes_, so is not possible in xubuntu
[18:40] <professor-mad> ?
[18:41] <diogenes_> professor-mad, i didn't say it's not possible, it's that i've never had any ithing and i will never touch one, i only presented you with a quick workaround in case you really need it badly.
