| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> hello people. I make extensive and intensive use of ALT+TAB (lets call it AT) to switch between applications. I makes my workflow so much faster and convenient. I have updated Lubuntu recently to 22.04.1 LTS and I find that somehow that AT is not working if I do it very quickly. More specifically, if the time during which the ALT and TAB keys are pressed simultaneously is too short, then the application does not switch (although I do see t | 08:16 |
|---|---|---|
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> Any ideas? | 08:16 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> ok I found the error | 08:26 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> or, the problem. | 08:27 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> I had installed compizconfig-settings-manager to fix another issue (more on this later), and it was somehow interferring. I uninstalled it and now my lubuntu flies free and speedy as always!! | 08:27 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> If you are curious, the reason to install compizconfig-settings-manager | 08:28 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> anyway, another question if I may. In my MS Windows era, I used to enjoy a silly functionality: when you pressed CTRL the cursor arrow would highlight (or a colored circle) would appear around it) to visually locate the arrow immediately. This is incredibly useful when you're working with many windows and 2 monitors and get lost in some application that kind of hides the arrow. | 08:32 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> I wish I could have that in Lubuntu... any suggestion? | 08:32 |
| arraybolt3 | @Rodrigo: That sounds possible, but complicated as Lubuntu doesn't have specific support for that... yet. But I found a tool that may do the trick. | 09:11 |

| lubot_ | [telegram] <Rodrigo> @arraybolt3: THANKS! I understand. I will try :) (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> @Rodrigo: WARNING: Use this tool at your own risk, it is NOT in the Ubuntu repositories and I have not verified its safety.

| lubot_ | [telegram] <Thanos> Do you think we should use encryption with Lubuntu? | 17:10 |
| arraybolt3 | @Thanos: Using Lubuntu's full drive encryption is generally a good idea if you are able to reliably remember the password you set for the drive. | 17:12 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Thanos> Is this slowing down the system? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> @Thanos: Using Lubuntu's full drive encryption is generally a good idea if you are able to reliably remember the password you set for the drive.) | 17:13 |
| arraybolt3 | Not hardly, it shouldn't be noticable on most systems. | 17:14 |
| lubot_ | [telegram] <Thanos> I am thinking the case not of forgot the password but if something goes wrong and cannot recover (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> Not hardly, it shouldn't be noticable on most systems.) | 17:24 |
| georgeosbourne | I'm having problems with bluetooth. | 19:52 |
| georgeosbourne | I managed to pair some headphones and connect for 40 mins then the connection was lost. | 19:52 |
| georgeosbourne | the headphones are on and visible to other hosts but not to lubuntu bluedevil wizard | 19:52 |
| georgeosbourne | they are still on the list of paired devices in bluetoothctl but connecting doesnt work | 19:53 |
| georgeosbourne | problem half solved. I've used blueman-manager instead | 20:18 |
| georgeosbourne | connected | 20:18 |
