[09:20] <miu5> hi, i have just done an upgrade of my packages, one of which was firefox, then i realized firefox was set as the default program to open .jpg and .png files. what could have caused this?   This type of thing happens often after each update of packages.
[09:22] <miu5> I must clarify though that opening .jpg's and .png's from the Desktop opens with the picture viewer i had already set.  It seems to only affect it when opening the pictures *within* Dolphin File Manager
[10:01] <tomreyn> miu5: when you right-click on a .jpg or .png file in dolphin, can you set (maybe in properties), the application used to open these files?
[10:08] <miu5> tomreyn, yes and i do but when the next apt-get update comes, depending on what is updated. the mime-type defaults keep changing different apps.  and i dont know what to look at to fix this issue.  The only thing i can tell you is a few months ago i changed my home permissions to 700 dirs & 600 files.
[10:08] <tomreyn> that's quite restrictive, though i don't assuem this would cause it, if it's just in your home
[10:08] <tomreyn> i wouldn't know how to prevent the default mime-type handlers from changing.
[14:10] <qdb> hello . autologin worked, but after some restarts, stopped . enabling no password to login in user settings helped a little:there is only submit button instead of password field now. how to fix it?
[14:10] <qdb> xubuntu 20.04, all updates installed
[14:13] <diogenes_> qdb, what is the expected result?
[14:13] <qdb> desktop should appear immediately
[14:14] <diogenes_> without asking for password?
[14:14] <qdb> yes
[14:15] <qdb> it is named autologin, did not you know about it?!
[14:16] <diogenes_> nope, first day using Xubuntu.
[14:16] <qdb> diogenes_ it was also in windows, in earlier versions
[14:17] <qdb> maybe still possible
[14:17] <diogenes_> qdb, settings editor > xfce4-session > SaveOnExit is it ticked on?
[14:19] <qdb> no
[14:20] <qdb> as i know it is for saving applications
[14:20] <qdb> ie restarting them after restart, as they were
[14:57] <qdb> i asked it in https://github.com/canonical/lightdm/issues/142
[14:58] <diogenes_> qdb, run: cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:58] <diogenes_> share url
[15:01] <qdb> diogenes_  http://termbin.com/dnj2
[15:02] <diogenes_> adand the output of: whoami
[15:02] <qdb> user
[15:05] <diogenes_> sudo apt reinstall lightdm && sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[15:27] <qdb> diogenes_ it started to work by itself
[15:28] <dreamon> hello. using a thinkpad E15. It has a real middle mouse. pressing on it, it paste text. I only want it to function as middleclick. no pasting stuff. how can i do this?
[15:28] <diogenes_> qdb, did you run the reinstall command?
[15:28] <qdb> after long period of being off it worked, then after one restart
[15:28] <qdb> and now after another restart it again does not work
[15:28] <qdb> diogenes_ no, no reinstall nor reconf yet
[15:29] <qdb> this time i pressed enter on grub timeout
[15:30] <qdb> try again without pressing enter and making sure mouse does not move, and it again stopped on login form
[15:34] <qdb> tried just sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm and has not helped
[15:34] <qdb> i do not remember your commands exactly
[15:34] <qdb> i am in webchat
[15:34] <diogenes_> sudo apt reinstall lightdm && sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[15:36] <qdb> it started to work
[15:37] <qdb> after i tried this command
[15:37] <qdb> one more restart, and it still works
[15:38] <qdb> one more restart, and it still works
[15:41] <qdb> thank you

[22:27] <pikh> Hello! I have installed xubuntu 18.04 on Samsung XE500C13 Chromebook while fully de-installing Google Chrome. I managed to fix sound drivers, but I can not make touchpad work. The laptop recognises mouse and it works normally. I want to make touchpad work though. Does anyone know how to fix it?
