| [04:09] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> Hello. I installed Lubuntu 18.10 on a laptop with UEFI. After the installation, should I leave it alone in UEFI mode or should I also enable Legacy mode? | |
| [04:24] <wxl> @JyotiGomes UEFI | |
| [04:50] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> @wxl [<wxl> @JyotiGomes UEFI], just UEFI without enabling legacy? | |
| [04:50] <wxl> yep | |
| [04:52] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> @wxl [<wxl> yep], And after I already installed Lubuntu 18.10 should I re-enable "secure boot" in BIOS or leave it disabled? | |
| [04:52] <wxl> i'd try it enabled first, but not sure | |
| [04:54] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> @wxl [<wxl> i'd try it enabled first, but not sure], Ok. Thanks for your help and patience :-) | |
| [07:22] <Mead> I've got a lubuntu install that freezes up occationally while running Kodi, how can I diagnose the problem? | |
| [07:23] <hateball> Mead: check the usual log-files, ~/.xsession-errors, /var/log/Xorg.log, /var/log/messages and so on | |
| [07:24] <Mead> right, I'm gonna need a little more hand holding than that... what do I use to check those logs? | |
| [07:24] <hateball> Mead: oh :) | |
| [07:25] <hateball> Mead: Any text editor of choice is fine | |
| [07:25] <hateball> or just "cat ~/.xsession-errors" in a terminal for instance | |
| [07:25] <hateball> I don't know if KODI itself logs anywhere as well | |
| [07:27] <Mead> alright as soon as this update does it's thing I'll start checking the logs, I swear I see more updates pushed to this lubuntu system than my win10 systems | |
| [07:30] <hateball> Would you rather things not be fixed? :) | |
| [07:31] <Mead> I'm fully aware that updates are better than no updates, but not needing updates or not needing as many updates is even better | |
| [07:31] <hateball> Yes, sadly no software is perfect | |
| [07:32] <Mead> not anymore, back when I first started using computers prior to the internet, some software seemed to just work because it was much simpler | |
| [07:39] <Mead> hateball: what are those regular logs I should look at again? | |
| [07:40] <hateball> Mead: /var/log/messages | |
| [07:41] <hateball> sorry I am stuck in the past | |
| [07:41] <hateball> you can look at /var/log/dmesg | |
| [07:42] <hateball> you can also run "journalctl -x" and look for errors | |
| [07:42] <hateball> Mead: as well as ~/.xsession-errors | |
| [07:42] <Mead> I got that one to work | |
| [07:42] <Mead> nothing about the output grabs my eye saying crash | |
| [07:43] <hateball> Mead: seems KODI logs to ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log by default | |
| [07:43] <hateball> so maybe check that too | |
| [07:43] <hateball> Mead: see https://kodi.wiki/view/Log_file/Advanced#Location | |
| [07:46] <Mead> ok I found that and got a bunch of out put in my terminal, got a clue what to look for now? | |
| [07:47] <hateball> not really, I havent had the need to troubleshoot KODI myself. Any lines looking like errors I guess :p | |
| [07:47] <hateball> Mead: also, is it just KODI freezing, or is it the entire desktop? | |
| [07:47] <Mead> entire system, caps lock/scroll lock no longer turning on and off | |
| [07:48] <Mead> no imput from KB or mouse can recover it, fan runs 100%, and requires a hard reboot with the power button | |
| [07:48] <Mead> err input | |
| [07:55] <hateball> hmmm | |
| [07:57] <hateball> might be hard to troubleshoot that, perhaps nothing will even be logged as the system freezes | |
| [07:57] <Mead> exactly | |
| [08:05] <Mead> what are those log files in lubuntu log files I could look at? | |
| [11:47] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> Hi! Is it a good idea tho have TLP installed in Lubuntu 18.10? | |
| [11:49] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> I ask thath because... After installing the Lubuntu 18.10, the battery life has decreased dramatically. Is it normal to happen? | |

| [14:02] <mariojug> Hello | |
| [14:03] <mariojug> can anyone help me out with wake on lan with lubuntu? | |
| [14:07] <hateball> !details | mariojug | |
| [14:07] <ubottu> mariojug: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | |
| [14:13] <mariojug> Can I have an example of the format you wamt me to display my issue | |
| [14:13] <mariojug> ? | |
| [14:14] <hateball> mariojug: I mean, what are you trying to do, and what is not working for you? | |
| [14:17] <mariojug> I am trying to enable wake on lan for my lubuntu machine Every guide I use tend to be for normal ubuntu and it doesn't work when I implement it. | |
| [14:22] <hateball> mariojug: there's not much to enable, typically it "just works". What output do you get from "sudo ethtool eth0|grep Wake" ? where eth0 is your NIC | |
| [14:25] <mariojug> It's enp2s3 for me | |
| [14:25] <hateball> if it says Wake-on: g, then it should be enabled | |
| [14:27] <mariojug> It says "wake on d" it can be turned on but it doesn't persist. | |
| [14:42] <hateball> mariojug: then you need to make it permanent in your network configuration | |
| [14:45] <hateball> mariojug: and this depends a bit on how you configure your interfaces, if it is with network-manager or netplan etc | |
| [14:45] <hateball> but you want to have the g option set on ifup | |
| [14:53] <mariojug> the file? | |
| [15:18] <mariojug> Also it's netplan | |
| [15:23] <mariojug> https://pastebin.com/B6x8GZ9x | |
| [15:23] <mariojug> This is the status it game me | |
| [15:56] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> Hi! is it a good idea tho have TLP installed in Lubuntu 18.10? I installed Lubuntu 18.10 and TLP and the battery dies very fast... | |
| [16:03] <mariojug> brb | |
| [16:17] <mariojug> Back | |
| [18:01] <jius> knock knock | |
| [18:03] <apt-ghetto> on heaven's door? | |
| [18:04] <jius> yeah :) | |
| [18:05] <jius> has anyone switched from <18.04 to 18.10 and managed to get the winKey + Arrows to move and resize windows like you could easily do in LXDE? | |
| [18:07] <wxl> disable the super key to open the menu in lxqt-globalkeys | |
| [18:08] <wxl> more on the subject and what direction we're taking for the ultimate fix: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T154 | |
| [18:10] <jius> I'll have a read through that url. thing I loved about non-qt release was that I could have two windows in 1/2 screen split either side in two key comb clicks | |
| [18:11] <wxl> you should use a tiling window manager instead | |
| [18:11] <wxl> it's way more flexible and doesn't require "maintenence" to keep it arranged the way you want while you add/move things around | |
| [18:11] <wxl> that said, we'll probably not get rid of them, but they'll likely be mapped to different characters | |
| [18:17] <jius> It was mainly a basic re-size two windows for side-by-side I used. So firefox was winkey+ arrow right and I was all set. So didn't use much tiling. As "built-in" to basic build it required no further tools | |
| [18:47] <lynorian> wxl the built in fake tiling works well enough if you want to say document lxqt | |
| [20:56] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> Hi! If this will be not very difficult, please, in the future, try to centralize the plymouth points that appear underneath the word "Lubuntu" during boot ... Not very important, but it would look more accurate and precise ... maybe changing the position of the image or increasing/ cuting some side... ... 😊 | |
| [20:57] <wxl> @JyotiGomes the dots are centered by default. the image itself is centered across the whole screen, but i believe if you ignore the hummingbird, it looks off relative to the letters | |
| [21:00] <lubot> <tsimonq2> I was told that Ubuntu Kylin has a really nice Plymouth screen though | |
| [21:13] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> @wxl [<wxl> @JyotiGomes the dots are centered by default. the image itself is centered …], I know that the image is centred across the whole screen, some time ago i buil a "distro" based in Lubuntu just for fun (and as a complete ignorant of programming, using just the Pinguybuilder and some basic scripts) and i used to do this par | |
| [21:13] <lubot> t. But if the image is centred across the whole screen, is possible to manage the position of the word "Lubuntu" in the original image in order to show the word a little bit more to the right side (e.g., cuting part of the right side of the original image) in order to, when centred, be above the points in a better relation 😊 | |
| [21:13] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/etq6dAd.jpg | |
| [21:14] <lubot> <JyotiGomes> but, as i said, this is not important, is just an idea | |
| [23:03] <Tr4sh> there are a bug with .py files, after I create a .py file does not recognized the file type but I need to write a letter in the files. Anyone have the same problem? | |
| [23:05] <wxl> which version? in what component are ylou having this problem? what is this "letter?" | |
| [23:07] <Tr4sh> wxl: 18.10. Any letter for example i need to open the file write "a" and save | |
| [23:07] <wxl> Tr4sh: so you're creating a blank file that ends in .py and you expect it to be recognized as a particular file type? | |
| [23:09] <Tr4sh> wxl: yes, if i create a .c file is recognized as .c file (with icon) and it open with vim if i create .py file is recognized as text file and it open with leafpad (instead vim). I don't know if is system bug or it is only my problem | |
| [23:11] <wxl> Tr4sh: and when you write a letter in it, it's recognized as a python file and opens in vim? | |
| [23:11] <Tr4sh> yes | |
| [23:12] <wxl> in pcmanfm-qt, i have the same experience with c files | |
| [23:14] <wxl> as far as i can tell, it's functioning as intended | |
| [23:14] <wxl> generally associated applications are based more on the content of the file than the extension.. that's kind of windows thinking | |
| [23:15] <wxl> that said, you're welcome to file an upstream issue with lxqt and see if they have any interest in changing it | |
| [23:15] <wxl> if it were me, i'd open up my editor and start editing..... and then save the file. | |
| [23:16] <Tr4sh> so i need to open an issue to lxqt and not in lubuntu repo? | |
| [23:16] <wxl> yep | |
| [23:16] <wxl> i wouldn't call it a bug so much as a feature request | |
| [23:19] <Tr4sh> ok, thank you | |
| [23:25] <jrshaul> Can anyone suggest a viable way to make a Lubuntu persistent USB stick install from Windows? Unetbootin crashes with persistent storage enabled and Linux Live USB creator doesn't work at all. | |
| [23:27] <Tr4sh> jrshaul: try with etcher | |
| [23:32] <jrshaul> Thanks! | |
