[08:16] <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?
[08:26] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> ok I found the error
[08:27] <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!!
[08:28] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> If you are curious, the reason to install  compizconfig-settings-manager
[08:32] <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?
[09:11] <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.
[09:13] <arraybolt3> @Rodrigo: WARNING: Use this tool at your own risk, it is NOT in the Ubuntu repositories and I have not verified its safety. It looks like it's probably OK though, it has lots of stars on GitHub and it appears to have been written by a user with lots of reputation on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange.

[10:38] <matkoniecz> My microphone stopped working. Any idea how to investigate?
[10:39] <matkoniecz> pavucontrol is not showing anything weird
[10:39] <matkoniecz> pavucontrol is not showing input to be disabled, but it indicates that nothing is being recorded
[10:41] <matkoniecz> https://mictests.com/ is not showing anything when I attached webcom
[10:41] <matkoniecz> webcam
[10:41] <matkoniecz> `sox -t alsa default test.wav` is not recording anything with either webcam or without it
[10:50] <matkoniecz> I am also trying to setup https://askubuntu.com/questions/1439526/lubuntu-microphone-no-capturing-any-audio-at-all-both-webcam-and-internal-one
[10:54] <matkoniecz> I will try to reboot and disconnect monitors
[13:35] <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.

[17:10] <lubot_> [telegram] <Thanos> Do you think we should use encryption with Lubuntu?
[17:12] <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] <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.)
[17:14] <arraybolt3> Not hardly, it shouldn't be noticable on most systems.
[17:24] <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.)
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <georgeosbourne> they are still on the list of paired devices in bluetoothctl but connecting doesnt work
[20:18] <georgeosbourne> problem half solved. I've used blueman-manager instead
[20:18] <georgeosbourne> connected
