[01:52] <xubuntu76i> Is there anyone stirring, even a mouse?  I'm just installing Xubuntu and checking this out while it completes.
[01:53] <Bashing-om> xubuntu76i: You look good from here ;P
[01:54] <xubuntu76i> Thanks. I'm trying to make a UEFI boot stick, and this is my upteenth attempt.
[01:55] <xubuntu76i> I had one back in the bionic days, that was dual UEIF/Legacy, but it stopped working, possibly because I updated to focal.
[08:06] <broxtor> I have installed kodi on Xubuntu 20.04. I try to get a Minix remote working. Most buttons work except play/pause. I had the same issue with Linux Mint and Cinnamon and solved that by deleting the key in Cinnamon settings. Tried the same in Xfce. Deleted all keyboard shortcuts, but no luck. Is there another place where these keys are defined?
[10:03] <Fernando-Basso> JackFrost: Thanks a lot. Just checked and it is not on my repos. I believe backports is enabled here.
[10:05] <Fernando-Basso> At least, I have two lines containing groovy-backports on my sources.list.
[10:08] <Fernando-Basso> I use a server from brazil. Perhaps it has not synced yet.
[10:43] <JackFrost> Ah, genii was in fact referring to an Xubuntu team PPA, not the official backports repo.  That's not really maintained, it's impossible to get something into there.
[10:48] <Fernando-Basso> JackFrost: No problem. I'll install from the PPA then. Thanks!
[10:51] <JackFrost> Sure thing.
[13:53] <seabass> Hello everyone (and happy Christmas!)
[14:00] <seabass> Does anyone here know where the configuration files for the lightdm-gtk-greeter that shows after lock are?
[14:01] <seabass> I can find the global configuration files for ordinary login in /etc/lightdm/, but the screen that shows after the machine is woken up from suspend is different.
[14:02] <seabass> Thanks in advance for any help!
[14:59] <brainwash> seabass: isn't the unlock screen provided by xfce4-screensaver?
[15:00] <brainwash> it does look very similar
[18:51] <seabass> brainwash, I'm not sure. It does look really similar anyway; one problem I'm having is that it is hard to reproduce on a VM.
[18:52] <seabass> I think I shall have to run Xubuntu on real hardware. However, here is a screenshot of what I am meaning (I can't reproduce this now):
[18:53] <seabass> https://x0.at/Ur-.png
[18:57] <brainwash> seabass: that is xfce4-screensaver's unlock screen
[18:57] <seabass> Ah, right - is it powered by Lightdm-gtk though?
[18:57] <brainwash> no, but it mimics the look
[18:58] <brainwash> https://bluesabre.org/content/images/2019/12/xfce4-screensaver-dialog-1.jpg
[18:58] <seabass> OK; that seems strange but it would explain my difficulty in finding configuration files for it!
[18:58] <brainwash> "- Shared styles with LightDM GTK+ Greeter"
[18:59] <brainwash> but what are you trying to change?
[18:59] <seabass> Specifically, I would like to add the power widget to the menu bar. This is how it is on the normal login screen (lightdm-gtk), but not on the lock screen.
[19:00] <seabass> Now that you have told me it's xfce4-screensaver, maybe I can grep to success :)
[19:01] <brainwash> it does not support indicators
[19:01] <brainwash> there is a feature request https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screensaver/-/issues/4
[19:01] <seabass> So that logo at the top right with the padlock is just a picture?
[19:01] <seabass> Rather than a widget tray
[19:01] <brainwash> I think so. just an icon basically.
[19:02] <seabass> ah, thank you for explaining that. That is very helpful indeed
[19:03] <brainwash> you can replace the xfce4-screensaver with the "old" light-locker
[19:03] <seabass> So I think I need to uninstall xfce-screensaver and replace it with light-locker, which uses lightdm directly. hah snap! :)
[19:03] <seabass> Great minds think alike? :D
[19:05] <seabass> Do you know of the motivation behind changing light-locker to xfce4-screensaver in recent versions?
[19:06] <brainwash> it is supposed to be less buggy
[19:06] <brainwash> also, light-locker is not maintained anymore
[19:06] <seabass> ah, yes, so not without a catch :/
[19:06] <brainwash> but if it works, you can still use it
[19:07] <seabass> "To use light-locker with systemd, you need at least lightdm 1.7.0." --> could cause some trouble
[19:07] <seabass> Oh, I'm getting confused by semver again
[19:08] <brainwash> the package is still available in the official repository
[19:08] <brainwash> you are not trying to compile it yourself, or? :)
[19:08] <seabass> no nothing like that :)
[19:09] <seabass> I do compile a few things from source, but GTK is somewhat difficult for mere mortals like me
[19:09] <seabass> suckless all the way :)
[19:09] <brainwash> but not slock?
[19:09] <seabass> Ahah, now you are getting me interested
[19:10] <seabass> For context, I must add this is not for me. I'm doing this for a friend, hence the VMs and such
[19:10] <seabass> But if slock can be installed to replace xfce4-screensaver without too much fuss on his end, it could be a solution.
[19:11] <brainwash> are you aware what slock actually looks like?
[19:11] <seabass> No. It probably won't take long to compile though :)
[19:11] <brainwash> "This is the simplest X screen locker we are aware of."
[19:11] <brainwash> I think it's basically just a black screen
[19:12] <brainwash> if you mistype the password, it will turn red
[19:14] <seabass> OK; well I ran it on my machine
[19:14] <seabass> It's probably a wee bit, well, suckless for the person in question :D
[19:15] <brainwash> why is a power widget needed though?
[19:16] <seabass> I'll PM if you don't mind
[19:16] <brainwash> okay
[19:37] <seabass> As a summary for those following this conversation, I am satisfied with using light-locker instead of xfce4-screensaver, as the former uses lightdm and thus has a power menu.
[19:37] <seabass> Thank you to brainwash for the help!
[19:39] <seabass>  /part Bye!
