[00:00] <nicofs1> I need help. When my mouse is inactive, after 5 sec my display dims down and after 20 the display shuts down. in settings manager I specified it not to do that - but it still does.
[00:01] <Cael> how can i get the tv out to work properly
[00:01] <charlie-tca> nicofs, you turned it off in power settings, it might be a bios setting instead of software.
[00:01] <charlie-tca> Cael, you probably have to set up /etc/xorg.conf file to tell it what to do
[00:02] <nicofs1> charlie-tca: it wasn't there before, and apart from boot order, I didn't change a thing...
[00:02] <charlie-tca> The file does not exist, but if created it is used
[00:03] <nicofs1> charlie-tca: I'll quickly check my modem anyway... hang on...
[00:03] <nicofs1> charlie-tca: sorry... bios... it's late...
[00:06] <nicofs> charlie-tca: fool-proof bios. can't change anything apart from boot order...
[00:07] <charlie-tca> hm, check all the tabs in power management then.
[00:08] <nicofs> I did. I deactivated everything. no dimming down, no switching off...
[00:08] <charlie-tca> oh, yeah, check the advanced tab in screensaver, too
[00:08] <charlie-tca> display power management. That overrides power management in xfce
[00:10] <nicofs> charlie-tca: nope. nothing...
[00:10] <charlie-tca> Anyone else? I am out of knowledge now
[00:12] <nicofs> I think I'll go to bed anyway...
[00:22] <fructose> Is there an easier way to get icons in the top panel than creating them from scratch? I'd just like some of the same ones in the applications menu
[00:23] <Thermi> gn8
[00:24] <charlie-tca> fructose, creating the launchers?
[00:24] <fructose> charlie-tca: Right
[00:24] <charlie-tca> I do them from scratch using the /usr/share/applications  files for the information
[00:25] <charlie-tca> You can even copy/paste the information for everything but the icon
[00:25] <cael_> charlie-tca, im connected at the linux pc.
[00:25] <cael_> now what did i need to do again in the xorg.conf?
[00:26] <charlie-tca> You need to create it
[00:26] <cael_> /etc/X11/ or?
[00:26] <charlie-tca> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:27] <cael_> ok can you give me an idea how it should look like/
[00:27] <cael_> it has an Geforce FX 5200 PCI video card
[00:27] <charlie-tca> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/dexconf.1.html
[00:29] <cael_> ughh i hate this pare mouse it doesnt right click. how can i in xchat?
[00:29] <charlie-tca> this might help, too - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MonitorDetection
[00:30] <charlie-tca> center button sometimes pastes
[00:31] <cael_> (its an old Mac "Hocky puck" USB Mouse)
[00:31] <charlie-tca> oh-oh
[00:31] <charlie-tca> don't know what to do with that one
[00:31] <cael_> ok i just got greeted by hardware drivers for the vid card
[00:32] <cael_> rev 96 or 173?
[00:32] <charlie-tca> In xchat, can't you left click to open the link in the browser?
[00:32] <charlie-tca> My guess is 173
[00:32] <cael_> in Ychat (xchat for windows) i always had to right click
[00:33] <charlie-tca> You are right. left-click hilites it
[00:33] <charlie-tca> then ctrl+c will copy it
[00:34] <charlie-tca> then ctrl+v will paste it
[00:35] <cael_> ok
[00:37] <charlie-tca> After you create that file, you log out and log in to activate it
[00:41] <charlie-tca> I have to go now. Good luck.
[01:05] <n2diy> moetunes, hmm, ok, never occured to me that I could get ride of the desktop?
[01:07] <kakt00s> Where can I find the running applications? They do not seem to be anywhere...
[04:31] <kangarooo> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZSAZ_2dKWijGqFsmobCF4ZRxJFf_PgBz5cYoSBVzBRc/edit?authkey=CKCy784L#
[04:32] <kangarooo> eem questionaire about programms form xubuntu users
[04:39]  * psycho_oreos blinks
[05:56] <Molly13> so, how does one make all windows transparent in xfce? xD
[05:59] <UBuxuBU> hmmm maybe look into running compiz
[06:18] <Molly13> i guess i'll have to do that xD
[09:07] <nicofs> My energy saving settings are wrong and I can't change them. Power Manager has no effect. if my mouse is idle my display dims instantly and shuts off after 20 seconds.
[09:07] <Psilocybin_Elf> Need to change my power settings too
[09:08] <Sysi> have you checked you don't have gnome-power-manager running
[09:08] <nicofs> Sysi: purged that as a first step...
[09:10] <nicofs> Sysi: only xfce4-power-manager and xscreensaver are running. and I configured them (GUI)...
[09:13] <nicofs> Sysi: what would be the bash command to stop and restart xfce4-power-manager?
[09:17] <Sysi> killall xfce4-power-manager
[09:19] <nicofs> Sysi: the problem still persists... so it's not coming from power manager...
[09:20] <Sysi> ps -e | grep power
[09:20] <nicofs> nothing
[09:20] <TheSheep> kill the screensaver
[09:21] <nicofs> TheSheep: done already, right after manager...
[09:21] <TheSheep> and still?
[09:23] <nicofs> and still.
[09:23] <TheSheep> at least you know now that it's neither of them
[09:24] <nicofs> TheSheep: ...
[09:24] <TheSheep> nicofs: just a thought, does it also happen if you switch to text console?
[09:25] <nicofs> TheSheep: you're thinking in terms of bios settings?
[09:25] <TheSheep> nicofs: I'm thinking alt+ctrl+f1 (alt+f7 to go back)
[09:26] <nicofs> TheSheep: I know how to change to console... and there it dims as well... I meant "Do you suspect it could be a bios setting?"
[09:26] <TheSheep> nicofs: I was suspecting it may be the graphics driver, but if it happens in text mode then it can'
[09:26] <TheSheep> t
[09:27] <TheSheep> so either bios or hardware
[09:27] <TheSheep> tried other distros?
[09:27] <nicofs> TheSheep: ah... I see... For all I know, it might be BIOS, but if it was BIOS I couldn't do anything about it. mine is fool-proof. I can't change anything apart from boot order...
[09:28] <Sysi> why couldn't it be graphics driver if it happens on text console?
[09:28] <nicofs> TheSheep: had Lubuntu from USB key yesterday. no dimming
[09:28] <TheSheep> Sysi: it could, but it would be less likely
[09:28] <TheSheep> nicofs: actually you could stop gdm and see
[09:31] <nicofs> TheSheep: I only have gdm-binary, gdm-simple-slav and gdm-session-wor, according to ps -e | grep gdm
[09:32] <TheSheep> nicofs: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:32] <TheSheep> nicofs: in text console
[09:33] <TheSheep> oh, gui irc clint
[09:33] <TheSheep> clent
[09:35] <nicofs> dims even without gdm...
[09:35] <TheSheep> :(
[09:36] <nicofs> are the energy settings written down somewhere?
[09:42] <nicofs> if I just purge power manager and install again?
[10:03] <nicofs> I think, all my settings are overruled by something else. even if I hit the power button in the panel (set to "ask what to do"), it simply logs out. it's completely wrong.
[10:05] <Sysi> you could try logging out and removing all settings from text console
[10:05] <nicofs> where are they stored?
[10:05] <Sysi> rm -rf .config/xfce4
[10:07] <nicofs> Sysi: isn't it a bit risky to remove all that?
[10:07] <Sysi> it just makes it to load default settings
[10:08] <nicofs> ok... just log out or stop the xfce session?
[10:08] <Sysi> works better then
[10:09] <nicofs> ok... back in a moment...
[10:17] <nicofs> no change...
