[06:08] <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 😊

[13:01] <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 is

[13:31] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Yes exactly the lockscreen (re @tsimonq2: OH wait the *lock* screen? At that point you're configuring xscreensaver)

[13:36] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> This screen specifically
[13:37] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> I have the wallpaper already setuped : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/963bf248/file_9979.jpg
[13:41] <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: )
[13:49] <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)
[13:50] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> No @kc2bez (re @kc2bez: That isn't Xscreensaver though. Did you install a different locking application?)
[14:08] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/95ac68fa/file_9980.jpg
[14:08] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> I was able to figure out this
[14:09] <lubot> [telegram] <vanitas_77> Michael May I ask how?
[14:10] <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.jpg
[14:11] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> So i went to this application LightDM GTK after that it pointed to browse the image for background.
[14:13] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> When I opened the default lockscreen filepath it was navigating to usr>share>lubuntu>wallpaper
[14:13] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> By default it was pointing to this image : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/e342600f/file_9982.jpg

[14:14] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> LightDM (re @lubuntu_bot: (matrix) <roberalz> [reply]: 
[14:14] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Is sddm or lightdm?)
[14:15] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Thank you so much everyone for helping 😊
[14:15] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> And I apologise for spamming lol
[14:19] <lubot> [telegram] <vanitas_77> No problem glad it worked out 👍
[14:36] <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...
[14:37] <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 updating
[15:52] <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...)
[15:54] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Is there a way I can switch from LightDM to SDDM? But I dont want my system to malfunction lol 😂
[15:55] <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?)
[15:56] <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 lightdm
[15:57] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> This won't really makes my laptop hang right? 😅
[16:02] <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? 😅)
[16:03] <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 installed
[16:04] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Can anyone please help me now
[16:04] <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, great
[16:04] <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 F4
[16:05] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> And run sudo systemctl enable --now sddm
[16:05] <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 too
[16:06] <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 :)
[16:08] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/209295df/file_9986.jpg
[16:08] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> You have to log in first, with your username and password ;)
[16:09] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Omg my bad
[16:09] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Lol
[16:09] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> Lmao no worries
[16:10] <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> :p
[16:11] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/6475a921/file_9987.jpg
[16:11] <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 now
[16:11] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> Sec, I don't remember the exact command (re @Michael: Any idea what should I do now)
[16:12] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> No rush @tsimonq2
[16:12] <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 all
[16:12] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sddm will do the trick I think (re @Michael: No rush @tsimonq2)
[16:13] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> Also... could you humor me and run `lsb_release -a`?
[16:54] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> It worked but it changed my UI a lot 😅
[16:55] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Some logos are missing lol

[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?
[17:20] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> On both (re @tsimonq2: Once logged in or on the login screen?)
[17:21] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> But I'm getting a drop down in lockscreen to select different GUI
[17:23] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/b90b91a1/file_9992.jpg
[17:24] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Was this a fresh install or was it upgraded from a prior release?
[17:25] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Fresh install (re @kc2bez: Was this a fresh install or was it upgraded from a prior release?)
[17:27] <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?))
[17:28] <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 LXQt
[17:28] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> Did you install LXDE?
[17:33] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> May be, i really don't know what I selected during installation lol 🤣 (re @tsimonq2: Did you install LXDE?)
[17:35] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/7751d8fb/file_9993.jpg
[17:36] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Is it good @tsimonq2 (re @Michael: )
[17:38] <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)
[18:21] <lubot> [telegram] <tsimonq2> Try listing all packages with lxde in it? (re @Michael: Any way I can remove the lxde and just keep lxqt?)
[18:36] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> I'm sorry but I dont know how to do it 😅 (re @tsimonq2: Try listing all packages with lxde in it?)
[18:38] <LimeOn> removing the 'lxde' package(meta-package) would do it? i dont know if it would be safe
[18:39] <LimeOn> he want to remove lxde ones,and keep the rest, i guess
[18:39] <LimeOn> wants*
[18:41] <lubot> [telegram] <Michael> Yeah I just want to keep the default one
[18:52] <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 😅)
