DrMaxis there a setting somewhere for somewhat smart new window placement? Now, if I have center new window at ON, every new window appears in the center of the screen, if it's OFF, all new window appear in upper left corner03:04
DrMaxIn versions before 26.04, the new window appeared in the least occupied portion of the screen03:04
DrMaxis there a switch to enable that back ?03:04

DrMaxhow can I check if cron/anacron is running correctly?18:46
cbreak_DrMax: you could ask a job to do something observable, like write a log message into a file19:01
DrMaxI've installed plocate19:02
DrMaxbut it didn't update the locatedb this night19:02
DrMaxalso, where is the table for launch times?19:02
cbreak_ls -la /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db, if that shows a recently modified db file, then it's updating19:03
cbreak_DrMax: you mean systemd-analyze blame?19:03
DrMax>Aug 12 15:52 /var/lib/plocate/plocate.db19:04
DrMaxwhat am I looking for in blame?19:04
cbreak_it's not related to this. It's the time it takes to start up your system.19:05
cbreak_if you want to know about plocate, run systemctl status plocate-updatedb.timer19:05
cbreak_that'll show information on the timer that updates the plocate database. (it doesn't use cron)19:05
DrMax Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.timer; enabled; preset: enabled)19:06
DrMaxTriggers: ● plocate-updatedb.service19:06
cbreak_that tells you that it's turned on, and what it will do.19:07
cbreak_you should also see "Trigger", which tells you when it'll trigger next19:07
DrMaxit says n/a19:07
cbreak_weird.19:07
DrMaxindeedd19:07
DrMaxit's not like it's a huge inconvenient to sudo updatedb, but it is a huge inconvenient19:08
cbreak_for me it also shows a log entry, at the far bottom, that lists when it triggered previously19:08
DrMax(that's a fresh new 26.04 install, so it's not an effect of an interaction with 24.04 upgraded19:09
DrMax)19:09
DrMax○ plocate-updatedb.timer - Update the plocate database daily19:09
DrMax     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.timer; enabled; preset: enabled)19:09
DrMax     Active: inactive (dead)19:09
DrMax    Trigger: n/a19:09
DrMax   Triggers: ● plocate-updatedb.service19:09
DrMaxthat's the output of systemctl status plocate-updatedb.timer19:09
cbreak_hmm... tried starting it?19:09
cbreak_systemctl start plocate-updatedb.timer19:10
DrMaxhmm will that be permanent?19:10
cbreak_no.19:10
cbreak_the enabled thing the line above is the permanent thing19:10
DrMaxyou mean enabled; preset:enabled ?19:11
cbreak_yes.19:11
DrMaxok, now for the other question: when will it run and is it configurable?19:12
DrMaxSo, next time I reboot, it should start automagically?19:12
cbreak_the timer file describes how it's run: /usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.timer19:13
elhoirhello guys, do u know where do i have to go to ask for a problem with amdgpu module in 7.1.5 kernel?19:13
cbreak_on my system it's configured to run once per day, at some random point19:13
DrMaxsame19:14
cbreak_DrMax: man systemd.timer has a ton of information on what that file supports.19:14
cbreak_I'm not sure if the intention is that users edit it directly though.19:14
DrMax...and if I want it not that random, say, 5 in the morning?19:14
cbreak_DrMax: OnCalendar=...19:15
DrMaxit says only daily for now19:16
DrMaxso, if it's a random moment, I'll wait so see if it runs at all today19:18
cbreak_systemctl edit is apparently the way to edit those. You can read man systemd.time for docs on what you can put there19:18
DrMaxthen I'll fiddle to get it to run at 5 or 6 in the morning19:18
DrMaxOK, thanks, that's been really helpful19:18
DrMaxbbl; gtg; thanks again19:19
cbreak_apparently systemd implements useful capabilities, such as being able to specify it like "tomorrow Pacific/Auckland" or "11min ago"19:19
DrMaxlol, 11 minutes ago...19:20
cbreak_also supports useful ones like 21:22:2319:20
