[10:24] <eorge> How can I install 1280X800 sis driver for esprimo mobile in Xubuntu 18.04?
[10:54] <whoosh> Greetings all. I'm seeking guidance in resetting my display resolution which I sadly adjusted through the desktop settings tool.... to something which the monitor rejects as being "out of range".
[10:55] <whoosh> So now I can only access the command line via the grub boot menu; and am looking for the file to edit, or the utility to run, which can reset this configuration.
[10:56] <gnrp> whoosh: Boot into the system, then go into console by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
[10:56] <gnrp> then you can log in
[10:56] <gnrp> try `xrandr --auto`
[10:56] <gnrp> or in general, xrandr can change the resolutions etc.
[10:56] <whoosh> There are no instances of monitors.xml or xorg.conf that I've found.
[10:56] <gnrp> I mean, boot into the regular system, until the display complains
[10:56] <whoosh> and xrandr reports "can't open display" ... I suppose  since X hasn't been started.
[10:57] <gnrp> wait, are you in your regular system or do you manipulate the boot parameters to get into the console?
[10:58] <whoosh> I edited the grub menu on bootup
[10:58] <gnrp> then boot into the normal system, no editing of the grub menu
[10:58] <whoosh> to gain console not recovery
[10:58] <gnrp> nono, boot the regular system
[10:59] <whoosh> I don't get a monitor with a normal boot; can't see anything other than screen stating "out of range" .
[11:00] <whoosh> I'm not in recovery mode; booted into multi-user.target rather than graphical.target
[11:04] <whoosh> I expect that the xfce4 tool by which my resolution was modified altered a file, but I haven't been able to find one associated with it.
[11:10] <brainwash> whoosh: ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[11:16] <whoosh> brainwash: yes! oh thank you
[11:17] <whoosh> any chance I can just delete that file and it will figure it out as during the installation?
[11:17] <whoosh> (of course I could always just try ;-}
[11:22] <brainwash> sure
[11:22] <brainwash> that is the common fix
[11:24] <whoosh> hopefully then I won't be back here soon ;-} .... take care

[13:26] <Antoine-> Nevermind, it is in texlive-bibtex-extra in groovy
[13:27] <Antoine-> Wait, groovy is 20.10 so it should be available soon I guess
[13:27] <jdwwatts> i have that on a usb
[13:29] <xtao> 20.10 should come out today I think
[13:37] <Antoine-> Awesome haha, it won't be a long wait until I get biblatex-software :D

[14:59] <Maik> xtao: ^
[15:19] <repencha> Hello, I would like some assistance. After running a Windows 10 VM inside of my Xubuntu OS (Latest version) My cursor has decided to freeze and stutter in my main OS. My mouse is an M95 RGB Pro and I am running ckb-next. The problem still occurs with ckb-next uninstalled. The issue is occuring on other mouses aswell. I have tried different USB Ports, unplugged an SSD to check it's not a problem with the PSU not delivering enough powe
[15:19] <repencha> to USB ports. I have also checked if the problem is resolved within a live enviroment booted off of a thumbdrive (Xubuntu) and it seems to be working well. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue on my main OS I would be much appreciated.
[15:20] <Antoine-> Maik: OK, great :)

[19:09] <xu-irc77w> hi
[19:16] <sameer> I need to install xubuntu on virtual box
[19:16] <sameer> i m facing many issues
[19:16] <sameer> please help me
[19:24] <GridCube> sameer, what issues
[19:24] <GridCube> it should be straight forward
[20:24] <xtao> well. just upgraded to 20.10. seems to work fine except now the lightdm login screen has no background and red "missing file" circles where the icons should be on the top bar
[20:24] <xtao> can i force a reinstall/reset the config for that?
[20:25] <diogenes_> xtao, i'd try a new user first.
[20:25] <xtao> as it's the login screen would that help? as i haven't logged in as a user yet
[20:28] <diogenes_> xtao, then try: sudo apt reinstall lightdm && sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[20:31] <krytarik> xtao: I'd rather look for any residual custom lightdm-gtk-greeter settings that don't apply anymore.
[20:32] <krytarik> Xubuntu's default one is at: /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/30_xubuntu.conf
[20:32] <xtao> actually i wonder if this could be the issue.....
[20:33] <xtao> Setting up lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings (1.2.2-3) ...
[20:33] <xtao> /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings/helpers.py:281: Synt
[20:33] <xtao> axWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? if obj._dict[keys[i]] is ():
[20:35] <krytarik> Aha, that's LP bug 1877664.
[20:38] <xtao> hmmm
[20:38] <krytarik> https://github.com/Xubuntu/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/commit/c5ad9571dda90a3b4a5823ac7d4430d6a4cd5844 - would be the fix for this indeed, so you could fix it locally at least.
[20:40] <krytarik> But I don't think it's the cause of the issue, if you never actually used the app yet.
[20:42] <krytarik> xtao: Is the 'xubuntu-artwork' package installed?
[20:43] <xtao> yes
[20:47] <krytarik> So yeah, look for any greeter configuration files possibly overriding the default one.
[20:49] <xtao> actually i wonder if the default settings have changed between 20.04 and 20.10. the icon theme was set to elementary-xfce-dark. maybe that no longer exists and it now uses another one
[20:51] <krytarik> Nope, 'xubuntu-default-settings' has stuck to the version in 20.04
[20:51] <krytarik> Besides, there would still be the wallpaper then..
[20:52] <xtao> yeah. if i select a different one then it puts icon-theme-name = ... into the lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf file. if i change it back to elementary-xfce-dark then it removes that item completely
[20:53] <krytarik> Yeah, because the settings are stacked.
[20:57] <xtao> ooooh
[20:57] <xtao> reinstalled xubuntu-artwork
[20:57] <xtao> update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/places/16/distributor-logo-xubuntu.png because link group elementary-xfce-branding-16 is broken
[20:57] <xtao> wonder if some symlink is screwed
[20:58] <krytarik> Or was.
[21:00] <xtao> no. still broken
[21:01] <xtao> now i see why people say just reinstall rather than upgrade :)
[21:02] <xtao> strangely the wallpaper exists so i don't get why it's not displaying that
[21:02] <xtao> full path to it in the greeting conf
[21:03] <xtao> think i'll have to revisit this tomorrow now. but thanks for your help. gives me some ideas of what to go looking for
[21:04] <krytarik> Ok, you're welcome!
