[00:09] <ikwyl6> I'm having issues with xfce4-screensaver so it will blank my screen after the 'Idle' is pasts the 'Save Timeout' threshold. I think it may be something to do with power savings. Is there a way I can debug power daemon somehow to see what's going on?
[13:01] <SamLeh[m]> ikwyl6: Sounds familiar, I had that battle at one point as well... But I don't have definite solution. Use blank screen screensaver to lock the system and dpms for blanking monitor. Afaik screensavers were stupid idea to beging with, as soon as it was possible to power down the display.
[20:04] <xu-help44w> hello all. I accidentally deleted the boot partition with gparted... because I'm an idiot. Is there any way I can fix this without losing my data? thanks
[20:15] <diogenes_> xu-help44w, boot partition? you had boot on separate partition?
[20:18] <xu-help44w> hi diogenes, there is just one drive, but a little bit over 500MB were allocated for the boot loader
[20:18] <xu-help44w> when I deleted it everything kept working fine, the issue appeared when I restarted
[20:19] <xu-help44w> ubuntu has the disk-repair feature, but I don't know if xubuntu as well
[20:19] <xu-help44w> boot-repair, sorry
[20:21] <diogenes_> xu-help44w, so you deleted not /boot but efi partition i suppose, to find it out you can boot a live usb drive.
[20:22] <xu-help44w> thanks, I checked and I can boot via the live USB
[20:22] <xu-help44w> how could i restore the efi partition?
[20:26] <diogenes_> also you can try and disable UEFI in BIOS and enable legacy mode and see if it boots that way.
[20:31] <xu-help44w> in legacy mode it just says "no bootable device" and asks to insert a boot disk
[20:32] <diogenes_> xu-help44w, you need to create it first format as fat32 then chroot, mount it and run a grub-install on it.
[20:32] <xu-help44w> diogenes, thanks again. do you mind if I get in touch later on so we can try to work this out? i have an emergency and I need to pop out
[20:33] <diogenes_> i go to bed so in like 8 hrs.
[20:36] <xu-help44w> cool, thanks
