[08:44] <bdju> Hey all, I'm not on Lubuntu, but I'm using pcmanfm-qt and I can't get the filter bar to go away. Neither ctrl-shift-k nor clicking `view -> filtering -> clear all filters` seems to get rid of it. Not able to hide it with the option to show/focus the bar either. I'll probably just have to restart the program and reopen all my tabs manually, but I thought I'd attempt to report this issue first.
[08:45] <bdju> I'm on Guix System, and `Help -> About` shows Version 1.3.0 for pcmanfm-qt.
[08:46] <bdju> I'm using Sway, but I believe pcmanfm-qt is running via xwayland.
[09:49] <guiverc> bdju, why not try a lxqt room (OFTC) as this is a Lubuntu room
[09:49] <bdju> I did check for an lxqt room first, but I only checked libera. I think there were 3 people in there so I just left right away.
[09:50] <bdju> Thanks for the heads-up about the OFTC channel.
[10:11] <guiverc> with OFTC I meant server/network (like we're on libera currently; Debian & some other open source groups use other networks)
[10:12]  * guiverc just noticed you're there now anyway.. 
[10:33] <bdju> Oh yeah, I knew what you meant. Maybe my phrasing was weird.
[10:58] <kc2bez[m]> Upstream LXQt has the discussions on Github too.
[17:21] <Alexion> Hello! Using Lubuntu 22.04 LTS on a Fujitsu laptop. The problem is I can't login to my user anymore. After I enter my user's password, the login screen freezes. But the mouse is still responsive. The only thing I can do is shutdown using the power button. What can the problem be?
[18:28] <wxl> Alexion: can you open a virtual terminal, with e.g. ctrl-alt-f5 and login that way? if so, run top and see if everything's behaving
[19:47] <Alexion> wxl: gonna try that and come back with an update
[20:03] <Alexion> wxl: Back. I managed to login using the terminal. I ran top and there is no memory or CPU bottleneck.
[20:08] <Alexion> "A few things can throw you into a panic faster than trying to log into your computer and being denied entry. You click on your username, enter your password, hit Enter, and… nothing.
[20:08] <Alexion> Unfortunately, this kind of experience is more common than you might think with Ubuntu. This is commonly known as the Ubuntu login loop issue"
[20:08] <Alexion> so is this a login loop issue what I am experiencing?
[21:10] <wxl> Alexion: i wouldn't make assumptions abotu lubuntu based on ubuntu as we use completely different display managers. in fact, we have more in common with kubuntu
[21:10] <wxl> so next i would look at the sddm logs
[21:19] <wxl> actually
[21:19] <wxl> your solution may be much simpler https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Hangs_after_login
[21:29] <Alexion> wxl: I just reinstalled the lqxt environment and it still doesn't work
[21:30] <wxl> all that said was remove a file.
[21:35] <Alexion> the .Xauthority file, right?
[21:36] <wxl> yuuup
[21:40] <Alexion> and I must re-login without rebooting?
[21:47] <Alexion> I removed the file, but problem is not solved
[21:48] <Alexion> I can login using the TTY, but not using the GUI
[22:58] <wxl> is the file still there? if so, that's still the problem
[22:58] <wxl> if not, you can use the likes of `journalctl --no-pager | grep sddm` to see the logs
[22:59] <wxl> maybe also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
