[12:07] <melodie> hi
[12:07] <melodie> has someone noticed issues related to gnome-policykit-1, pkexec and pam in Xubuntu 20.04 ?
[12:08] <melodie> I have a friend whose Xubuntu 20.04 can't use the update-manager and update-notifier (it crashes) and in the .xesssion-errors file there is a message related to gnome-polkit-1 and PAM authentication that fails
[12:09] <melodie> in another Ubuntu 20.04 (a light one of mine) I had to remove gnome-policykit and use lxpolkit instead, to get synaptic-pkexec to work again.
[12:10] <melodie> I would like to report a bug but I am not sure what to write, and against which package exactly. I would like some help around this issue and how to report the bug the right way?

[12:18] <Maik> melodie: maybe that helps you further?
[15:38] <DarkTrick> It seams like someone repaired the "no HDMI audio for 4 seconds on audio start"-bug. I really appreciate that!!!
[16:17] <gravitos> so, my laptop refuses to connect to any bluetooth devices and points me that device or resource is busy whilst it clearly is not, any ideas? xubuntu 18.04

[16:21] <ryan-c> I'm running xubuntu 20.04 and using xscreensaver. Something keeps trying waking it up and I can't figure out what - can anyone give me some tips on figuring out what the offending device or software is?
[16:22] <ryan-c> I tried reducing the mouse sensitivity in the xscreensaver config but that doesn't seem to be the problem.
[16:22] <ryan-c> Issue has persisted over a reboot.
[16:32] <brainwash> ryan-c: I would try -verbose
[16:33] <diogenes_> ryan-c, tried unplugging the mouse?
[16:33] <ryan-c> yes, i tried unplugging the mouse
[16:33] <ryan-c> i also opened up xev and focused the window and left it for a bit and didn't see any messages
[16:38] <ryan-c> brainwash: okay, thank you, I'd missed the verbose option. Something is sending it DEACTIVATE messages.
[16:39] <brainwash> power manager, some media player or your web browser?
[16:40] <ryan-c> I'd already suspected the media player (though it was only playing audio) and closed it.
[16:40] <ryan-c> I just closed firefox.
[16:41] <ryan-c> Okay, still happening.
[16:43] <ryan-c> I don't have an active tab with a video player open.
[16:43] <brainwash> kill xfce4-power-manager and see if that helps
[16:45] <ryan-c> i tried two things at once, that was foolish
[16:46] <ryan-c> brainwash: that does appear to have fixed it.
[16:47] <brainwash> uhm
[16:47] <brainwash> did you maybe have "presentation mode" enabled?
[16:47] <ryan-c> certainly not deliberately
[16:47] <brainwash> I think it can be toggled via the tray icon
[16:47] <ryan-c> how do i restart it?
[16:48] <brainwash> run xfce4-power-manager
[16:48] <brainwash> you can run it with debug output also
[16:48] <brainwash> that could be helpful
[16:48] <ryan-c> I don't see a tray icon for it?
[16:48] <gravitos> 19:17:39 <gravitos> so, my laptop refuses to connect to any bluetooth devices and points me that device or resource is busy whilst it clearly is not, any ideas? xubuntu 18.04

[16:49] <brainwash> xfce4-power-manager --no-daemon --debug
[16:49] <brainwash> well, it's a panel plugin by default
[16:49] <brainwash> you'd have to add it to the panel item list
[16:49] <ryan-c> my install was, uh, very manual
[16:50] <brainwash> https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-power-manager/panel-plugin
[16:50] <ryan-c> like, i did debootstrap and `apt install xubuntu-desktop`
[16:52] <brainwash> anyway, if this is a desktop PC, then you don't really need the power manager
[16:52] <gravitos> click any panel with right mouse button, then Panel -> Add new elements, find that plugin in there, click it, then click Add, new item should appear on panel
[16:52] <ryan-c> yeah, it's a dektop
[16:52] <brainwash> screen blanking can be configured with xscreensaver also
[16:52] <ryan-c> i have a ups though, but i don't think i hooked it up via usb
[16:54] <ryan-c> well it's behaving itself now because of course it is
[16:56] <ryan-c> brainwash: thank you for your help, i have no idea how i would have solved this otherwise
[16:57] <brainwash> glad I could help :)
