lubot[telegram] <Michael> I checked this filepath. So it's basically for the wallpaper, not the lockscreen. Could you please help me with changing the lockscreen? (re @vanitas_77: It might be in "/usr/share/sddm/themes/ubuntu-theme" not sure though Michael)06:08
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Thank you 😊06:08

lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> /usr/share/sddm/themes/lubuntu/theme.conf has what you're looking for, I believe. Just replace the relative path with an absolute one, wherever your wallpaper is13:01

lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> OH wait the *lock* screen? At that point you're configuring xscreensaver13:02

lubot[telegram] <Michael> Yes exactly the lockscreen (re @tsimonq2: OH wait the *lock* screen? At that point you're configuring xscreensaver)13:31
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/6c816c1b/file_9978.jpg13:36
lubot[telegram] <Michael> This screen specifically13:36
lubot[telegram] <Michael> I have the wallpaper already setuped : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/963bf248/file_9979.jpg13:37
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> The wall.png file is the image you see on the login screen (re @Rodrigo: yep, in my case is /usr/share/sddm/themes/lubuntu/wall.png)13:41
lubot[telegram] <Rodrigo> 👆🏽 (re @Michael: Yes exactly the lockscreen)13:41
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> That isn't Xscreensaver though. Did you install a different locking application? (re @Michael: )13:41
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Thanks Rodrigo I will try this as well (re @Rodrigo: The wall.png file is the image you see on the login screen)13:49
lubot[telegram] <Michael> No @kc2bez (re @kc2bez: That isn't Xscreensaver though. Did you install a different locking application?)13:50
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/95ac68fa/file_9980.jpg14:08
lubot[telegram] <Michael> I was able to figure out this14:08
lubot[telegram] <vanitas_77> Michael May I ask how?14:09
lubot[telegram] <vanitas_77> Were you able to change it? Just mention the path or something.14:10
lubot[matrix] <roberalz> Is sddm or lightdm?14:10
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/52a00446/file_9981.jpg14:10
lubot[telegram] <Michael> So i went to this application LightDM GTK after that it pointed to browse the image for background.14:11
lubot[telegram] <Michael> When I opened the default lockscreen filepath it was navigating to usr>share>lubuntu>wallpaper14:13
lubot[telegram] <Michael> By default it was pointing to this image : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/e342600f/file_9982.jpg14:13
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/68206abc/file_9983.jpg14:14
lubot[telegram] <Michael> LightDM (re @lubuntu_bot: (matrix) <roberalz> [reply]: 14:14
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Is sddm or lightdm?)14:14
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Thank you so much everyone for helping 😊14:15
lubot[telegram] <Michael> And I apologise for spamming lol14:15
lubot[telegram] <vanitas_77> No problem glad it worked out 👍14:19
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> No need to apologize, support is what this channel is for :) (re @Michael: And I apologise for spamming lol)14:36
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> I'm just curious how LightDM got on your system when SDDM should supply the appropriate virtual package...14:36
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> If you're really curious you could use aptitude to figure that out ;) I wouldn't mind knowing if it's a package in the archive that needs updating14:37
lubot[telegram] <Michael> To be honest, i haven't installed or customised anything. I just downloaded the iso file from the lubuntu website, booted on my pendrive and installed the OS 😅 (re @tsimonq2: I'm just curious how LightDM got on your system when SDDM should supply the appropriate virtual package...)15:52
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Is there a way I can switch from LightDM to SDDM? But I dont want my system to malfunction lol 😂15:54
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Hmmm, which website? (re @Michael: To be honest, i haven't installed or customised anything. I just downloaded the iso file from the lubuntu website, booted on my pendrive and installed the OS 😅)15:55
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Lubuntu official website lubuntu.me (re @tsimonq2: Hmmm, which website?)15:55
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> See if sddm is installed, with sudo apt install sddm, and purge lightdm (re @Michael: Is there a way I can switch from LightDM to SDDM? But I dont want my system to malfunction lol 😂)15:56
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> With sudo apt purge lightdm15:56
lubot[telegram] <Michael> This won't really makes my laptop hang right? 😅15:57
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> No, it shouldn't. Rober's instructions should work, with one caveat: if you purge LightDM before you restart your system, you'll be left without a display manager (re @Michael: This won't really makes my laptop hang right? 😅)16:02
lubot[telegram] <Michael> And this already happened 😭 (re @tsimonq2: No, it shouldn't. Rober's instructions should work, with one caveat: if you purge LightDM before you restart your system, you'll be left without a display manager)16:03
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> That's why you have to make sure that sddm is installed16:03
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Can anyone please help me now16:04
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> To be clear, you have SDDM installed but LightDM removed?16:04
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Yes (re @Michael: Can anyone please help me now)16:04
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Yes (re @tsimonq2: To be clear, you have SDDM installed but LightDM removed?)16:04
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Throw it for a reboot. If it comes up with SDDM, great16:04
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Doing it now (re @tsimonq2: Throw it for a reboot. If it comes up with SDDM, great)16:04
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> If it doesn't, open a terminal via Ctrl Alt F416:04
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> And run sudo systemctl enable --now sddm16:05
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> This should start SDDM, giving you a login screen, and on next reboot (which I'd do to check), it will start SDDM too16:05
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> (I'm really curious how LightDM got installed in the first place :) )16:06
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Let us know if all this works for you :) (re @Michael: Doing it now)16:06
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> @Roberalz honest mistake :)16:06
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/209295df/file_9986.jpg16:08
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> You have to log in first, with your username and password ;)16:08
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Omg my bad16:09
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Lol16:09
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Lmao no worries16:09
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> With sddm installed, uninstalling lightdm should automatically configure it to set sddm by default. (re @tsimonq2: @Roberalz honest mistake :))16:10
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> :p16:10
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/6475a921/file_9987.jpg16:11
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> The session itself is a child process of the display manager, purging the running one kills the system (re @Roberalz: With sddm installed, uninstalling lightdm should automatically configure it to set sddm by default.)16:11
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Any idea what should I do now16:11
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Sec, I don't remember the exact command (re @Michael: Any idea what should I do now)16:11
lubot[telegram] <Michael> No rush @tsimonq216:12
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> Ahhh ok, I understand you, you are right. (re @tsimonq2: The session itself is a child process of the display manager, purging the running one kills the system)16:12
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Thanks to you all16:12
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm will do the trick I think (re @Michael: No rush @tsimonq2)16:12
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Also... could you humor me and run `lsb_release -a`?16:13
lubot[telegram] <Michael> It worked but it changed my UI a lot 😅16:54
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Some logos are missing lol16:55
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/8707bfd3/file_9991.jpg16:57
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Once logged in or on the login screen? (re @Michael: It worked but it changed my UI a lot 😅)17:15
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> (Could you make sure lubuntu-default-settings is installed and make sure you're choosing the Lubuntu session, not LXQt?17:15
lubot[telegram] <Michael> On both (re @tsimonq2: Once logged in or on the login screen?)17:20
lubot[telegram] <Michael> But I'm getting a drop down in lockscreen to select different GUI17:21
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/b90b91a1/file_9992.jpg17:23
lubot[telegram] <kc2bez> Was this a fresh install or was it upgraded from a prior release?17:24
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Fresh install (re @kc2bez: Was this a fresh install or was it upgraded from a prior release?)17:25
lubot[telegram] <Michael> How to check lubuntu default setting is installed or not? (re @tsimonq2: (Could you make sure lubuntu-default-settings is installed and make sure you're choosing the Lubuntu session, not LXQt?))17:27
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> `apt list --installed | grep lubuntu` (re @Michael: How to check lubuntu default setting is installed or not?)17:28
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Oh.. that's why. LXDE is installed, we only ship LXQt17:28
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Did you install LXDE?17:28
lubot[telegram] <Michael> May be, i really don't know what I selected during installation lol 🤣 (re @tsimonq2: Did you install LXDE?)17:33
lubot[telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/7751d8fb/file_9993.jpg17:35
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Is it good @tsimonq2 (re @Michael: )17:36
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Any way I can remove the lxde and just keep lxqt (re @tsimonq2: Oh.. that's why. LXDE is installed, we only ship LXQt)17:38
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Try listing all packages with lxde in it? (re @Michael: Any way I can remove the lxde and just keep lxqt?)18:21
lubot[telegram] <Michael> I'm sorry but I dont know how to do it 😅 (re @tsimonq2: Try listing all packages with lxde in it?)18:36
LimeOnremoving the 'lxde' package(meta-package) would do it? i dont know if it would be safe18:38
LimeOnhe want to remove lxde ones,and keep the rest, i guess18:39
LimeOnwants*18:39
lubot[telegram] <Michael> Yeah I just want to keep the default one18:41
lubot[telegram] <tsimonq2> Same command as before :) just replace lubuntu with grep (re @Michael: I'm sorry but I dont know how to do it 😅)18:52
