| [05:33] <guiverc> my `chromium-browser` isn't accepting any text input into page/url/window... i've logged out, restarted but no difference. `snap refresh --beta chromium` to try a different version; no change. any clues appreciated | |
| [11:23] <oerheks> guiverc, clear the cache of ~/.cache of chromium-browser | |
| [11:24] <guiverc> thanks oerheks ... `rm`ing now... | |
| [11:25] <oerheks> :-) | |
| [11:27] <guiverc> that just increased disk space .5GB ! (2.2gb free increased to 2.7gb) | |
| [11:29] <guiverc> alas starting chromium didn't fix issue | |
| [11:31] <oerheks> oh :-( | |
| [11:32] <oerheks> one could clear the ~/.config folder too, but then you loose all settings/bookmarks/plugins/malware | |
| [11:34] <guiverc> thanks, I'll give it a go (the malware sounds interesting...) | |
| [11:34] <oerheks> :-D | |
| [11:34] <guiverc> no change, and nothing lost - maybe cause it's a snap; it's stored elsewhere.. | |
| [11:35] <oerheks> i had this once .. https://www.dropbox.com/s/eakrho2sfpgdvbw/virusaanval.png?dl=0 | |
| [11:36] <guiverc> i do have a ~/snap/chromium/ folder so looking there. | |
| [11:36] <oerheks> oops, yes, my bad, snaps store their malware there | |
| [11:36] <oerheks> err config | |
| [11:37] <guiverc> yeah a windows security alert doesn't quite have the same effect when we're not using windoze | |
| [11:38] <guiverc> :) on malware err .. | |
| [11:39] <oerheks> still looking for my C: drive.. | |
| [11:40] <guiverc> my ~/snap/chromium/common/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache looks huge too, you've given me loads of disk space back here too | |
| [11:41] <guiverc> what was 2.2gb free is now 3.3gb | |
| [11:42] <oerheks> great | |
| [11:42] <guiverc> no keybd yet with cache, next is the malware i guess | |
| [11:42] <oerheks> how about the logfiles? | |
| [11:43] <oerheks> if they growing fast too.. | |
| [11:44] <guiverc> nope; (I omitted Code Cache) .. no go, looking for config | |
| [11:54] <guiverc> lost malware, but still no keyboard input :( (but only plus site; 3.6gb of space in $HOME instead of 2.2) | |
| [11:54] <guiverc> s/site/side | |
| [11:58] <guiverc> oerheks, success !!! (my continual re-load of chromium must have re-introduced issue whatever it was (into cache possibly), I redid some of prior commands (rm cache) & now it's working)... Thanks HEAPS !! (x2; problem solved & I have more disk space to fill!) | |
| [12:00] <oerheks> great. still i like to find out what happens so often with chromium browser, is it because of the snap confinement? | |
| [12:02] <guiverc> i have no idea, and too tired to look tonight.. (I'm adding back privacy.badger, ublock etc) | |
| [12:03] <guiverc> I can't say I like snap; on reboot so often I find it reporting "Restore session?" & it returns to what it was a ~week prior (and never as I close down with a single window; always 4-5 windows) | |
| [12:03] <oerheks> "Privacy Badger blocks spying ads and invisible trackers. " nice | |
| [12:12] <guiverc> thanks heaps oerheks, nice to have silence with box besides me now off (where I was browsing sites I use chromium with) | |

| [16:53] <adrian_1908> Hello. Do I see it right that 20.04 LTS won't be defaulting to Wayland? I only found various news articles, so I wasn't sure how authoritative that is. | |
| [17:10] <tomreyn> adrian_1908: (as already discussed on #ubuntu) it won't. | |
| [17:12] <tomreyn> https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=No-Wayland-Default-20.04-LTS is maybe not the best source, you *may* be able to find a better source on blog.ubuntu.com | |
| [17:15] <adrian_1908> tomreyn: Sorry, the large response drowned out your early "no". Yeah, that's one of the articles I read. Was just looking for an informed opinion, as those tend to be more current than articles on some topics. | |
| [17:19] <tomreyn> adrian_1908: FWIW, the daily builds don't default to wayland (except for gdm), and i've seen ubuntu developers confirming it won't be defaulting to wayland for gnome-shell. | |
| [17:23] <adrian_1908> tomreyn: Nice. I have an Nvidia GPU and need to use proprietary drivers for feature/perf reasons. If the upcoming LTS defaults to- and support X, then I know I have a solid workhorse for the forseeable future. In a few years I can then consider new hardware or a different distro if need be. | |
| [17:25] <tomreyn> nvidia'S driver situation is probably a major reason why the default isn't changing, yet. sooner or later X will die, though. | |
| [17:25] <tomreyn> it's already pretty much in bugfix only mode upstream | |
| [17:26] <tomreyn> where 'already' is ~ 50 years ;) | |
| [17:26] <tomreyn> actually more like 35# | |
| [17:27] <tomreyn> 33 for X11 | |
| [17:28] <adrian_1908> :) | |

| [21:55] <nmrp3> hi | |
| [21:55] <nmrp3> so because I love to try out new things I did an do-release-upgrade to 20.4 | |
| [21:56] <Bashing-om> nmrp3: Welcome :D | |
| [21:56] <nmrp3> cheers :) | |
| [21:56] <nmrp3> so essentially everything works so far except my kde plasma workspace didn't start up - I have a blank desktop with no task bar or anything | |
| [21:57] <nmrp3> I can start processes with alt-f2, and tab through them, but windows have no borders | |
| [21:57] <nmrp3> they can be dragged around though - so I have a functioning window manager I guess | |
| [21:58] <nmrp3> the only other minor thing is that my wireless mouse stopped working, but the wireless keyboard it came with works - go figure | |
| [22:03] <nmrp3> Running "kstart5 plasmashell" prints out a lot of warnings and errors | |
| [22:08] <Bashing-om> nmrp3: Await here for one who has KDE experience - not me, see then :) | |
| [22:13] <nmrp3> I think "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session" may perhaps be to blame? It's got a bunch of error/warning entries in systemctl | |
| [22:16] <Bashing-om> nmrp3: the log file .xsession-errors on your /home may have some hints ? | |
| [22:18] <nmrp3> mm, loads of "could not connect to relay relay://******" messages | |
| [22:18] <nmrp3> I'm going to try sddm and see if things boot with that - back in a couple of minutes | |
| [22:25] <nmrp3> back | |
| [22:27] <nmrp3> going to try with clean .cache .confg .local and try again ... | |
| [22:34] <nmrp3> ok - so that hasn't fixed things | |
| [22:37] <nmrp3> I@m wondering if I should drop down to a terminal, uninstall everything gnome and kde, reboot, then re-install? | |
| [22:38] <Bashing-om> !Info kubuntu-desktop | |
| [22:39] <Bashing-om> !info kubuntu-desktop | |
| [22:39] <ubottu> kubuntu-desktop (source: kubuntu-meta): Kubuntu Plasma Desktop/Netbook system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.394 (focal), package size 3 kB, installed size 44 kB (Only available for amd64; arm64; armhf; ppc64el) | |
| [22:39] <nmrp3> ah ... that wasn't installed any more somehow | |
| [22:40] <nmrp3> so let's try that then | |
| [22:40] <Bashing-om> !info ssdm | |
| [22:40] <ubottu> Package ssdm does not exist in focal | |
| [22:40] <Bashing-om> !info sddm | |
| [22:40] <ubottu> sddm (source: sddm): modern display manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18.0-1ubuntu2 (focal), package size 612 kB, installed size 1870 kB | |
| [22:43] <nmrp3> ok -- going to reboot after installing kubuntu-desktop -- fingers crossed | |
| [22:49] <nmrp3> hi - that's fixed it I thinl | |
| [22:49] <nmrp3> thanks | |
| [22:49] <nmrp3> so the version upgrade somehow lost the desktop pacakge | |
| [22:50] <Bashing-om> nmrp3: :D Strange things can happen. | |
| [23:28] <nmrp3> ain't that the truth | |
