| [08:16] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> hello people. I make extensive and intensive use of ALT+TAB (lets call it AT) to switch between applications. I makes my workflow so much faster and convenient. I have updated Lubuntu recently to 22.04.1 LTS and I find that somehow that AT is not working if I do it very quickly. More specifically, if the time during which the ALT and TAB keys are pressed simultaneously is too short, then the application does not switch (although I do see t | |
| [08:16] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> Any ideas? | |
| [08:26] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> ok I found the error | |
| [08:27] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> or, the problem. | |
| [08:27] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I had installed compizconfig-settings-manager to fix another issue (more on this later), and it was somehow interferring. I uninstalled it and now my lubuntu flies free and speedy as always!! | |
| [08:28] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> If you are curious, the reason to install compizconfig-settings-manager | |
| [08:32] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> anyway, another question if I may. In my MS Windows era, I used to enjoy a silly functionality: when you pressed CTRL the cursor arrow would highlight (or a colored circle) would appear around it) to visually locate the arrow immediately. This is incredibly useful when you're working with many windows and 2 monitors and get lost in some application that kind of hides the arrow. | |
| [08:32] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I wish I could have that in Lubuntu... any suggestion? | |
| [09:11] <arraybolt3> @Rodrigo: That sounds possible, but complicated as Lubuntu doesn't have specific support for that... yet. But I found a tool that may do the trick. | |

| [10:41] <matkoniecz> `sox -t alsa default test.wav` is not recording anything with either webcam or without it | |

| [10:54] <matkoniecz> I will try to reboot and disconnect monitors | |
| [13:35] <lubot_> [telegram] <Rodrigo> @arraybolt3: THANKS! I understand. I will try :) (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> @Rodrigo: WARNING: Use this tool at your own risk, it is NOT in the Ubuntu repositories and I have not verified its safety.

| [17:10] <lubot_> [telegram] <Thanos> Do you think we should use encryption with Lubuntu? | |
| [17:12] <arraybolt3> @Thanos: Using Lubuntu's full drive encryption is generally a good idea if you are able to reliably remember the password you set for the drive. | |
| [17:13] <lubot_> [telegram] <Thanos> Is this slowing down the system? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> @Thanos: Using Lubuntu's full drive encryption is generally a good idea if you are able to reliably remember the password you set for the drive.) | |
| [17:14] <arraybolt3> Not hardly, it shouldn't be noticable on most systems. | |
| [17:24] <lubot_> [telegram] <Thanos> I am thinking the case not of forgot the password but if something goes wrong and cannot recover (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3> Not hardly, it shouldn't be noticable on most systems.) | |
| [19:52] <georgeosbourne> I'm having problems with bluetooth. | |
| [19:52] <georgeosbourne> I managed to pair some headphones and connect for 40 mins then the connection was lost. | |
| [19:52] <georgeosbourne> the headphones are on and visible to other hosts but not to lubuntu bluedevil wizard | |
| [19:53] <georgeosbourne> they are still on the list of paired devices in bluetoothctl but connecting doesnt work | |
| [20:18] <georgeosbourne> problem half solved. I've used blueman-manager instead | |
| [20:18] <georgeosbourne> connected | |
