[02:43] <AMPed> I just installed 23.10 and now my ESC key wants to show or hide my desktop. I tried looking into Settings->Keyboard->Application Shortcuts and Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard to remove whatever Shortcut would cause that, but it still happens. What else can I do?
[03:09] <ruenoak> AMPed, do you mean show/hide desktop applications ?
[03:12] <AMPed> ruenoak: I don't know the proper terminology. If I've got an application window onscreen, hitting ESC shows the desktop; if the desktop is onscreen, the ESC key brings up the most recently used window.
[03:13] <ruenoak> ok  I think  by default this is set to shortcut <super>d to show/hide apps open on the desktop  
[03:14] <AMPed> That does (what looks like) the same thing.
[03:20] <ruenoak> Ok let me just check something 
[03:23] <ruenoak> So in Xubuntu 23.10 <super>d is a xfwm4 custom shortcut to show/hide applications, wondering if your si somehow mapped to esc
[03:24] <AMPed> How would I check (and then correct) that?
[03:26] <ruenoak> if you go to: Settings -  Settings Editor, in Setting Editor scroll down to xfce-keyboard-shortcuts, then scroll down to xfwm4, under custom look for the value show_desktop_key
[03:27] <ruenoak> Screenshot here: https://imgur.com/JyClJx4.png
[03:29] <AMPed> It's just <Super>d
[03:29] <ruenoak> hmm I was hoping it was esc
[03:30] <ruenoak> In Settings Editor in the search field type esc and see what comes up 
[03:30] <AMPed> But I see a Default <Primary>Escape mapped to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu, which it doesn't actually seem to do, unless I'm overlooking something every time.
[03:32] <ruenoak> I think that  CTRL esc does that ? 
[03:32] <AMPed> Removing that value doesn't seem to do anything, unless I need to reload the desktop
[03:33] <AMPed> Ctrl-Esc doesn't appear to do anything.
[03:33] <AMPed> Nor do I see any listing for it in the Settings Editor
[03:34] <ruenoak> ctrl - esc opens the menu classic and whisker 
[03:34] <ruenoak> are you using a standard keyboard mapping ?
[03:35] <AMPed> Yes. The only thing I've done to change it is to swap out Capslock and Left-Ctrl.
[03:35] <AMPed> Right-Ctrl is unchanged.
[03:36] <ruenoak> did your problem start after that ? 
[03:36] <ruenoak> have you reset to defaults 
[03:37] <AMPed> Not immediately, to my recollection. 
[03:37] <AMPed> Not reset yet. Is there a way to change them all back at once?
[03:39] <ruenoak> there is reset to defaults in Settings Keyboard Application Layout  
[03:39] <AMPed> Okay, here goes nothing...
[03:40] <AMPed> Hrm... didn't change Capslock or Left-Ctrl, they're still swapped. And Esc still shows/hides the desktop.
[03:42] <AMPed> Aha. I think I see a culprit, which is also causing me other headaches.
[03:42] <AMPed> Just swapped out a Bluetooth KB for a wired one.
[03:43] <AMPed> But now... why would bluetooth do that?
[03:44] <AMPed> (USB-connected KB works as I intended.)
[03:46] <AMPed> Also, I've been using that keyboard in Xubuntu and Windows 10 for months without issue.
[03:46] <AMPed> Had been
[03:46] <ruenoak> Ah that's interesting, I have had an issues with a Bluetooth keyboard in the passed on Linux
[03:47] <ruenoak> I never got to the bottom of it unfortunately 
[03:47] <AMPed> Ah. Well, I have my workaround for now.
[03:47] <AMPed> Thanks!
[03:48] <ruenoak> I'm guessing it maybe something in the Bluetooth interface not quite detaching the keyboard correctly.
[03:49] <ruenoak> You could do some searching on that model keyboard maybe and issues with Linux 
[03:49] <ruenoak> Im glad you found a solution :) 
[03:50] <AMPed> Yup. Thanks again, and have a good evening/morning/whatever time it is where you are.

[15:05] <bynarie> running xubuntu 22.04, nvidia propietary driver, looking to get login screen set to 144hz like it is when i login..
[15:05] <bynarie> so on boot, its at like 60hz but when i login, it goes to 144
[17:21] <AMPed> Ugh. Needed to `snap remove emacs`, then tried to `apt install emacs`, but it says "emacs is already at the latest version"; but `which emacs` says "emacs not found". How can I reinstall it?

[23:25] <torv> bynarie: Maybe look into `lightdm-gtk-greeter` and/or `lightdm`. From searches it looks like you may have to carefully do some custom configurations for `xorg`. I guess it uses a default refresh rate as local users might have their own display settings.
