| Anna___ | "if you stick around long enough you should get a response" | 01:33 |
|---|---|---|
| Anna___ | I'm here 5 hours. And it's the second time I try. | 01:34 |
| Anna___ | Maybe I should retype my question every few hours? | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | Anna___: I presume you don't mean from the live session, but directly in ubiquity-dm? | 01:35 |
| doc | Anna___: might be those of us awake don't know the answer, but sure, every few hours is reasonable. | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | If it's ubiquity-dm I have zero ideas, maybe the main support channel would know. | 01:36 |
| Anna___ | I have no idea what ubiquity-dm is. | 01:37 |
| Anna___ | I have that bootable flash drive, i boot from usb trying to install, but I have the wrong resolution so i can't see a thing. | 01:38 |
| Anna___ | Aside my issue, what is the best time for someone to ask a question here? (I'm from Europe) | 01:41 |
| Anna___ | What is the main support channel? I thought this was it for xubuntu | 02:02 |
| Unit193 | This is it for Xubuntu, yeah. For the distro as a whole you have #ubuntu, which may know more about ubiquity-dm since it's not specific to Xfce/Xubuntu. | 02:03 |
| Anna___ | Can you please at least explain what ubiquity-dm is? | 02:04 |
| Unit193 | ubiquity is the installer used, 'ubiquity-dm' is what you get when you select 'install' at the screen that gives you the option to install or use a live session. | 02:06 |
| Anna___ | oh it's simply the name of the installer. I got it that far. But whether it's -dm or no -dm, I don't know. Since the resolution is so bad that i can't even read anything, I couldn't select any option between trial or install... | 02:10 |
| Unit193 | Does winkey+p bring anything up? That normally will bring up display settings. | 02:11 |
| Anna___ | never tied that. I only tried super+T to open the terminal and then the command xrandr, but it didn't work | 02:14 |
| Anna___ | I'll try that too and thank for the suggestion but I'm afraid I won't be able to see the display options if they appear | 02:15 |
| Unit193 | Alt+left click and drag | 02:15 |
| Anna___ | I can blindly type a command and that's it. If xrandr doesn't work, is there a similar command? | 02:20 |
| Unit193 | (Alt+left drag is moving a window without seeing the border.) Not that I'm thinking of offhand. | 02:22 |
| Anna___ | maybe the xrandr is obsolete and replaced? I'm not a terminal expert. I'll try both your suggestions, but can't it be done with a command? | 02:27 |
| Unit193 | xrandr should still work for xorg, unless the desired resolution isn't avilable. In the past I've had to forcefully add it, then switch. I had a script to do this at login for one system a long time ago. | 02:28 |
| Anna___ | When I tried xrandr it turned to a state like the monitor got disconected or something. What do you mean not available? My external monitor supports only 800x600 (it's an ancient one). My laptop is not that old, but its own monitor is broken... | 02:32 |
| Anna___ | I think the installer detects the broken monitor and adjusts the resolution to that instead the working one, the external | 02:33 |
| Anna___ | unrelated question: isn't the official channels on freenode anymore? We're not on freenode now, are we? (I came via a web browser) | 02:48 |
| doc | Anna___: nope. All of freenode. Freenode hijacked the channels. | 02:49 |
| doc | *all off | 02:49 |
| Unit193 | https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2021/05/26/announcing-ubuntus-move-to-libera-chat/ | 02:49 |
| Anna___ | Good. I didn't like freenode lately. I hope the new server won't force us to register too. | 02:55 |
| Anna___ | I'll try the 2 tricks Unit193 suggested and if those won't work, I'll ask again on #ubuntu. Thanks you. | 02:57 |
| Unit193 | Anna___: Sorry for the frustration! | 02:58 |
| Anna___ | My broken monitor should be sorry, not you. Bye for now. kisses | 02:59 |

| anotheryou | Hi, is there a command for the simple display preset switcher? I love that it doesn't need any confirmation ect. This one: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/fqholl4l/image.png | 08:27 |
| anotheryou | Sadly plugging in hdmi is often buggy with xubuntu and this is usually my rescue :) | 08:27 |
| anotheryou | Wake up > plug in hdmi > try to enter password. Often not possible. I now always wake and unlock before I plug in hdmi... | 08:28 |
| anotheryou | And sometimes it mirrors screens instead of choosing the right setup | 08:28 |

| honey39 | Hello | 16:48 |
| honey39 | Is anyone here | 16:48 |
| taeaad | Yes. | 17:10 |
| taeaad | There are people here. But you may want to ask in #ubuntu if it is a general question. | 17:10 |
| Mekaneck | taeaad: lol... they left seconds after asking | 17:36 |
| Mekaneck | no point in answering imho :) | 17:36 |
