| lubot | <devikri> hello guys, i want to ask, … can i install another display manager like gdm3 | 04:55 |
| guiverc | @devikri, you should provide release details. There maybe complications, but yes you can. (my box has gdm3, lightdm & sddm installed) | 05:11 |
| lubot | <devikri> @guiverc [<guiverc> @devikri, you should provide release details. There maybe complication …], Im using lubuntu 20.04, its awesome but unfortunately sddm cant show current connection | 05:13 |

| lubot | <matkoniecz> I have a Dell Latitude 7480 laptop with preinstalled Windows 10. … I installed Lubuntu 20.04 on it, with dual booting. … Things worked fine until I tried attaching an external monitor (that worked perfectly fine with my ancient Lenovo laptop). … I discovered that with attached screen latop starts bootlooping. GRUB menu appears as u | 12:56 |
| lubot | sual and starts countdown from 10. … After 2 seconds (when it reaches 8) laptop screen flashes black screen, GRUB appears again but … it stops reacting to a keyboard input … continues flashing black screen every few seconds … countdown freezes … neither Linux nor Windows boots … There is no error message at all - so I have no good t | 12:56 |
| lubot | erms to google for and neither DDG nor Google helped. … (I opened also https://askubuntu.com/questions/1283386/what-should-be-done-with-laptop-bootlooping-iff-monitor-is-attached-dell-lapto - for now without reaction) | 12:56 |
| lubot | <matkoniecz> As workaround I can remove HDMI cable, select OS in GRUB menu and reattach it (attaching too early freezes boot, but attaching it too late causes Windows to not detect monitor at all). … I am primarily looking for info what is the proper method of diagnosing GRUB issues, how GRUB can be updated safely and how can I get rid of this | 12:57 |
| lubot | problem. | 12:57 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @matkoniecz [As workaround I can remove HDMI cable, select OS in GRUB menu and reattach it (a …], I've never heard from a problem like this before. since it is not Lubunt specific I would aks in broader groups (ask ubuntu is good but maybe on they're irc/telegrema channels). I also would check if it's not a cable problem, ex: a | 13:31 |
| lubot | shorted cable in pins that don't affect image. only disconnect monitor from cable but leave cable attached to laptop, try another cable. | 13:31 |
| lubot | <matkoniecz> I tried another cable. I admit that I never booted while monito was attached before I installed Lubuntu, maybe I have a broken laptop at hardware level. | 14:23 |
| lubot | <matkoniecz> I will try with just HDMI plugged in, not attached to the monitor | 14:23 |
| lubot | <matkoniecz> I tried, it works fine in such case | 14:34 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> @matkoniecz [I tried, it works fine in such case], so it is the monitor, not your laptop or cable. | 15:09 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> another test if try another monitor, if you can | 15:11 |

| lubot | <HMollerCl> @akem [<akem> There is a bug with libreoffice, if i try to export a document to PDF the …], The workaround is documented in teh release notes https://lubuntu.me/focal-released/ | 20:37 |
| LimeOn | i found that you can export your file as html akem | 20:37 |
| LimeOn | then print it with firefox for example | 20:37 |
| LimeOn | maybe that works for you | 20:37 |
| akem | HMollerCl, thanks for the info, i hope it also fix the printing issue, i will try it in few seconds. | 20:38 |
| akem | LimeOn, Yes but the formatting is bad in HTML, i tried :P | 20:39 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> yes it fixed it also | 20:39 |
| akem | It changes newlines, it looks different. | 20:39 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> strange, never saw that happens. | 20:40 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> but I don't print much. | 20:40 |

| lubot | <FedeBosio> (Photo, 1024x600) https://i.imgur.com/MiHMgqe.jpg Fortunately (for me), it doesn't happen on LibreOffice 6.3.5.2 with Lubuntu 19.10, so it seems to be an issue of the newest version only (which I can't reproduce anyway, because I don't have that version). | 21:00 |
| lubot | <HMollerCl> it is also solved in LO 7 which will be in 20.10.- | 21:06 |
| lubot | <FedeBosio> Good to know! | 21:07 |
| akem | Weird bug. | 21:08 |
