[02:00] <lubot_> [telegram] <ctisme> how to assign shortcut key to screenshot/windows tiling on lubuntu in easy way?
[02:02] <arraybolt3> Hellp ctisme! Let me see if I can help you.
[02:04] <arraybolt3> Almost there...
[02:05] <arraybolt3> For screenshot: Click the Application Menu in the lower-left corner of the screen.
[02:06] <arraybolt3> Hover over "Preferences", then hover over "LXQt Settings", and click "Shortcut Keys".
[02:06] <arraybolt3> Scroll down until you find an entry in the table with the description "screen shot".
[02:07] <arraybolt3> Hold down the shortcut keys you want to use to take a screenshow (say Win+S), and while holding those keys down, click the button next to "Shortcut:".
[02:09] <arraybolt3> Not all of the shortcut key combos will actually work, so you may have to try different combos until you find one that works.
[02:10] <arraybolt3> Ack, I missed a step (I'm using two computers here), sorry.
[02:10] <arraybolt3> So, open the Application Menu, hover over "Preferences", then hover over "LXQt Settings", and click "Shortcut Keys".
[02:11] <arraybolt3> Find the "screen shot" entry, click it, and click the Modify button at the right side of the screen.
[02:11] <arraybolt3> *Now* hold down the shortcut key combo you want and press the button next to "Shortcut:". Press OK, and you're done!
[02:14] <arraybolt3> Window tiling appears to be a bit more difficult, so I'm not sure if I can help you right here, but you might try the Lubuntu Discourse
[02:14] <arraybolt3> forum for more help on that front.
[08:30] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> wow, you are fast
[08:31] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> Haha Googled๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ (re @tbs61: wow, you are fast)
[08:34] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> What's the telegram bot? (re @tbs61: wow, you are fast)
[08:34] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> it s a bridge that allows irc and telegram to be connected (re @adithyav: What's the bridge bot?)
[08:35] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> you know irc ?
[08:35] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> Nope (re @tbs61: you know irc ?)
[08:36] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> it s also a messaging platform (re @adithyav: Nope)
[08:36] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> a different kind of
[08:36] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> Okay, there we can ask questions?
[08:36] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> yes
[08:36] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> for lubuntu group it s same if it is here or there
[08:37] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> Okay (re @tbs61: for lubuntu group it s same if it is here or there)
[08:37] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> since that bridge bot carry messages from there to here and here to there
[08:37] <lubot> [telegram] <adithyav> Do you answer as well?
[08:37] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> if i know, gladly

[10:56] <fren> hello, I have and early 2009 imac. Can I just install Lubuntu as if I were on a windows pc or do I have to do something else
[11:00] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> what do you mean by " as if i were on a windows pc" ? sorry im not native english user (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <fren> hello, I have and early 2009 imac. Can I just install Lubuntu as if I were on a windows pc or do I have to do something else)
[13:43] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> i just noticed i cant use appimages at lubuntu. i tried same appimage which is pling at ubuntu-mate and it works there
[13:44] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> i used both usb flash and gnome boxes with lubuntu 22, cant run pling
[13:44] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> You need to install the libfuse2 package.
[13:45] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> first time hearing this, thanks (re @kc2bez: You need to install the libfuse2 package.)
[13:50] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> libfuse3 is preinstalled at system, seems 3 doesnt cover 2...
[13:51] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> That is correct.
[13:55] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> installing libfuse2 worked btw, i want to try a new theme i saw at pling for lxqt :)
[14:00] <lubot> [telegram] <tbs61> i just remember i cant use pling for auto install, need to install themes manually.
[18:52] <lubuntunoob> Today had a kernel panic with version 5.15.0-27 with lubuntu 22.04, has anyone else had this? (fixed by switching to version 5.15.0.25)
[20:04] <arraybolt3> @lubuntunoob Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I'll look into it and see if I can reproduce the problem. If so, I'll file a bug report so we can start getting it fixed!
[21:25] <arraybolt3> lubuntunoob: Hey, can you tell me what hardware you're using by any chance? Something like "Dell Latitude 5420" is what I'm looking for.
[21:27] <lubuntunoob> @arraybolt3 hey thanks for looking into this - it is an Asus laptop - model X456U
[21:27] <arraybolt3> Thank you, that will be helpful for debugging!
[21:32] <lubuntunoob> @ arraybolt3 It's a few years old and likes to be a trouble-causer - I get a few error messages during boot but they all seem benign, not sure if that would contribute to the kernel panic
[21:36] <arraybolt3> If it's not too much trouble, it might be helpful if you could reinstall the bad kernel, boot into it, and then take a picture of the kernel panic error with your phone or something. Upload it to Imgur and send the link over chat. The error contains a wealth of debugging information. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it.
[21:39] <lubuntunoob> yeah I can give that a try, see you in a couple minutes
[21:49] <lubuntunoob> @arraybolt I'm back - I reinstalled the kernel but when I tried rebooting it didn't kernel panic (nor did it boot properly). It got stuck somewhere in bios loading with text as follows [OK] finished secure boot updates for DB and DBX [OK] finished plymouth boot screen [OK] finished set console screen. I installed linux-modules and linux-headers 5.15.0-27-generic with the required dependencies but maybe I missed something. I remembered I
[21:49] <lubuntunoob> took a photo earlier in the day of the kernel panic, but some of the message is cut off
[21:53] <arraybolt3> Sounds like you forgot to install linux-image?
[21:53] <lubuntunoob> haha thank you I will try again
[21:53] <lubuntunoob> is it just the 3?
[21:53] <arraybolt3> I've done stuff like that before lol
[21:54] <arraybolt3> I believe so, but let me check just real quick
[21:54] <lubuntunoob> linux-image is installing the other 2 as dependencies by the way
[21:56] <arraybolt3> Nice. I believe it is just those three.
[21:56] <lubuntunoob> okay round 2!
[22:13] <lubuntunoob> @arraybolt still no dice, froze at [OK] finished terminate plymouth boot screen
[22:14] <lubuntunoob> this pastebin is the portion of the kernel panic I had a photo of https://pastebin.com/C7G1N1Ms
[22:15] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> > Initramfs unpacking failed: ZSTD-compressed data is corrupt......
[22:15] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> This suggests that maybe the kernel installation and stuff failed
[22:15] <lubuntunoob> @arraybolt3 missed the 3
[22:15] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> only way to know is to uninstall the kernel and probably reinstall it while in the older kernel and watch the apt output like a hawk to see if there's something going awry during the install process
[22:19] <lubuntunoob> I tried reinstalling and noticed this error in the install message dkms: WARNING: Linux headers are missing, which may explain the above failures.
[22:19] <lubuntunoob> please install the linux-headers-5.15.0-27-generic package to fix this.
[22:20] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> yeah install that as well
[22:20] <lubuntunoob> It is old because during the confirmation it said linux-headers would be installed as a dependency
[22:21] <lubuntunoob> *odd
[22:22] <lubuntunoob> there was also this message during linux-image install Memtest86+ needs a 16-bit boot, that is not available on EFI, exiting
[22:22] <lubuntunoob> Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
[22:22] <lubuntunoob> Systems on them will not be added to the GRUB boot configuration.
[22:22] <lubuntunoob> no errors during linux-headers
[22:23] <lubuntunoob> I'll try another reboot, back shortly
[22:26] <lubuntunoob> hello again, still no dice on 5.15.0-27, no kernel panic, no successful boot. At least 5.15.0-25 seems to work fine haha
[22:27] <lubuntunoob> not sure if these matter, but here are the 'benign' errors I get during a successful boot https://pastebin.com/Vrdz8DJS
[22:37] <kmh> hi
[22:37] <kmh> i got a question regarding the swap partition
[22:39] <kc2bez> Ask away kmh
[22:39] <kmh> for some reason (maybe i forgot it in the manual partition) my swap space doesn't get mounted at boot up and there is no entry for the swap partition in /eetc/fstab either
[22:40] <kmh> however the swap partition was created (just not mounted) - I can see it an activate it with KDE partition tool
[22:40] <kmh> but that activation goes away after a reboot
[22:41] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> did you do manual partitioning to add it, or was it part of an automatic install?
[22:41] <kmh> i'm not quite sure what i need to do to assure that it is mounted and activated at booting
[22:41] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> if you did manual partitioning it won't be activated automatically and you will have to write the fstab entry yourself to make it work
[22:41] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> (which isn't hard)
[22:41] <kmh> and/or what exact line i need in fstab
[22:42] <kmh> i did a manual partition
[22:42] <kmh> ah ok
[22:42] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> run blkid on the command line. Start by getting the UUID for your swap partition. I'll walk you through the fstab entry
[22:42] <kmh> then my only question is for the exact syntax for the fstab entry
[22:44] <kmh> i get get the UUID from the kde partition tool too, so i have that but i'm unsure about any parameters i may have to pass
[22:44] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> that'll work fine too as i said i'll give you all the lines you need for the fstab
[22:44] <kmh> currently fstan also contains a "/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0" line
[22:44] <kmh> do i leave that as it it is?
[22:45] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> if you have the UUID then, your line will look like this: /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUIDHERE none swap sw 0 0
[22:45] <kmh> ok thanks i have uuid and fstab open
[22:45] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> and as you've noticed, Lubuntu uses swapfiles by default. If you don't want to use a swap file you should comment that out
[22:46] <kmh> well once the swap partition is mounted i suppose a swap file makes no sense (just eats up memory on the system disk?)
[22:46] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> pretty much hence just comment out thatline in fstab for now
[22:47] <kmh> ok
[22:47] <kmh> one more question regarding the syntax if you don't mind
[22:48] <kmh> the already mounted partitions in my fstab seems to use a slightly different syntx - looking like:
[22:48] <kmh> UUID=f52a4b45-f105-4b73-849d-7b0a681dc606 / ext4 defaults,discard 0 1
[22:48] <kmh> for the root/system partition
[22:48] <teward> correct
[22:48] <teward> UUID= and /dev/disk/by-uuid/ are pretty much identical
[22:49] <teward> except that i've seen UUID randomly fail for Unknown Reasons in some environments and had better luck using /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[22:49] <teward> you can use UUID= if you want
[22:49] <teward> but i personally use /dev/disk/by-uuid
[22:49] <teward> (i'm teward001 on Telegram by the way :P)
[22:50] <kmh> so i could do : UUID=<myswap partition uuid> none swap sw 0 0 ?
[22:50] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> correct
[22:50] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> I just prefer using /dev/disk/by-uuid/ because that's my preferred way :)
[22:51] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> but you can do it either way
[22:51] <kmh> ok thanks i'll try that way then to keep the notation consistent (for me)
[22:54] <kmh> and irc question regarding the bridge to telegram
[22:55] <kmh> teward,
[22:55] <kmh> oops
[22:56] <kmh> teward001 if i address your nick this way is that helpful on thelegram client or does that get ignored?
[22:56] <kmh> and related the teward in the irc channel is identical with you or somebody else?
[22:57] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> @teward001 will ping me here in Telegram
[22:57] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> but teward is my IRC nick and IRC Cloud will ping me if you ping that
[22:57] <lubot> [telegram] <teward001> so either way I get the notice :)
[22:57] <kmh> ah ok
[22:58] <kmh> but for your client to get pinged on telegram i need the @ rather than just the nick?
[23:00] <teward> correct
[23:01] <kmh> all right thanks a lot, i'll test everything with a reboot soon
