| xu-irc0w | hello, i recently bought a rii bluetooth keyboard to use with my linux desktop but it has a very poorly placed power button that instantly shuts down the computer. is there a solution for disabling this on the operating system's end? there is no way to disable this button without removing the thing. | 18:20 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_Vx15 | xu-irc0w, one easy fix would be to go to system settings > settings editor > xfce4-power-manager > power-button-action and just disable it or set it to ask what to do or blank. | 18:26 |
| xu-irc0w | ok i'll take a look | 18:37 |
| xu-irc0w | that setting is an integer | 18:38 |
| xu-irc0w | it's currently set to 3 | 18:38 |
| xu-irc0w | based on what i've found that means it should ask me what i want when the power button is pressed | 18:39 |
| xu-irc0w | this is not what happened | 18:39 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | try 0 to disable it and see if it makes any difference. | 18:40 |
| xu-irc0w | ok will do | 18:44 |
| xu-irc0w | the button on the tower is disabled | 18:45 |
| xu-irc0w | now i'm trying the keyboard | 18:45 |
| xu-irc0w | high chance i'll get disconnected, lol | 18:45 |
| xu-irc0w | holy crap it worked | 18:45 |
| xu-irc0w | thank you! | 18:46 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | hehe glad it worked. | 18:46 |
| xu-irc0w | i'm so glad i don't have to return this thing | 18:46 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | on Linux you can tweak everything down to modying the source code to suit your needs. | 18:47 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | try that on windows... | 18:47 |
| xu-irc0w | yeah i've noticed that it's very tweakable | 18:47 |
| xu-irc0w | i even have custom scripts that can randomly copy memes from my archive into an output folder | 18:47 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | cool cool | 18:48 |
| xu-irc0w | i'm slowly customizing more | 18:48 |
| xu-irc0w | but the way it handles printers and bluetooth dongles is so much better as well | 18:48 |
| xu-irc0w | windows is crap now | 18:48 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | yeah pretty much. | 18:49 |
| xu-irc0w | you guys have helped me a lot over the last year | 18:49 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | even in some cases native windows games run better on Linux. | 18:49 |
| xu-irc0w | thank you again | 18:49 |
| xu-irc0w | i can't get bethesda games to run sadly | 18:49 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | you are welcome good luck! | 18:49 |
| xangua | Those rii keyboard look nice | 19:09 |
| xangua | I was thinking of buying the small one for TV | 19:09 |
