| huseyin | hi | 07:25 |
| huseyin | since this morning i have a problem with xubuntu | 07:25 |
| huseyin | i'll be glad if someone can give some hint | 07:26 |
| huseyin | all application borders are gone | 07:26 |
| huseyin | i cannot move, exit, minimize apps | 07:26 |
| huseyin | i cannot see the list of running applications on the panel | 07:26 |
| huseyin | i cannot switch workspaces | 07:26 |
| huseyin | the number of workspace were 2 but became 4 and i cannot change that too | 07:27 |
| huseyin | any idea? | 07:27 |
| === Guest21521 is now known as Unit19 | ||
| nicofs | huseyin, from how you describe it, it must be some problem with the window manager... can you access the settings? appearance, themes, something like that? | 07:31 |
| nicofs | sadly, I don't have xubuntu anymore, i can't check where all the stuff is... | 07:31 |
| huseyin | yes, i can access the settings | 07:31 |
| nicofs | i guess you tried to change them several times and it didn't help... | 07:32 |
| huseyin | well, i just checked the window manager settings but i cannot see anything in it | 07:32 |
| huseyin | it's totally emoty | 07:32 |
| huseyin | i mean, i open settings manager and click on window manager | 07:33 |
| huseyin | and i cannot see anything in it | 07:33 |
| huseyin | it's an empty page | 07:33 |
| larre | So, I'm running xubuntu using Oracle VirtualBox on Windows 7. Cant get higher resolution that 1024x768. My monitor is a Full-HD 1920x1080 native. How can I fix it? | 07:33 |
| nicofs | larre, what did you try so far to change it? | 07:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | larre: tried checking the log to see what's going on? | 07:34 |
| larre | editing xorg.conf and I even found some kind of settings editor in the menu, and there it is set to 1920*1080 indeed, but no change | 07:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | it more than likely is vbox at fault then try #vbox | 07:36 |
| larre | ah it has a support channel too, nice | 07:36 |
| huseyin | should i try to reinstall xfce4? | 07:37 |
| nicofs | huseyin, we somehow need to reconfigure your settings... last resort would be to find the folder with the settings, delete it and restart... | 07:37 |
| nicofs | i can't guarantee that this will work, though | 07:37 |
| huseyin | where should i look for the settings? | 07:37 |
| larre | Also I have now given up trying to install xubuntu on my old Dell Inspirion 1100 Laptop. Guess it's too old, even though it seems to have enough memory | 07:38 |
| nicofs | it should be a hidden folder in your home folder... | 07:38 |
| huseyin | .config or domething? | 07:39 |
| nicofs | huseyin, rather something with .x* | 07:39 |
| huseyin | that was the first thing I checked: somehitng with .x | 07:40 |
| huseyin | i can see .Xdefaults, .xsession-errors | 07:40 |
| huseyin | nothing else related to cfxe4 | 07:40 |
| huseyin | sorry xfce4 | 07:40 |
| larre | As running Xubuntu directly from CD doesn't work either, I guess it's a sign it won't work. Perhaps an earlier version would work? | 07:40 |
| nicofs | huseyin, hmm... maybe xsession-errors has something in it that tels us what's wrong... | 07:41 |
| huseyin | it's a large file actually | 07:42 |
| === Unit19 is now known as Unit193 | ||
| huseyin | i tried to read it but didn't really get it | 07:42 |
| huseyin | but, there are a lot of lines with: xfdesktop[2639] is already running; assuming --reload | 07:42 |
| huseyin | another eye catchy is: (xfce4-xkb-plugin:2615): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_destroy: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed | 07:43 |
| huseyin | (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed | 07:43 |
| huseyin | (xfdesktop:2589): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance | 07:43 |
| nicofs | huseyin, i know that somewhere there is a set of files where all your session settings are stored - i know because i edited it... but as i don't have xubuntu, i can't check from here... | 07:44 |
| huseyin | under .config there are some xfce related files with a .xml extension | 07:44 |
| huseyin | could those be? | 07:44 |
| nicofs | huseyin, sounds about right... | 07:44 |
| huseyin | here there are some .xml files | 07:46 |
| huseyin | like: xfce4-desktop.xml, xfce4-panel.xml, xfce4-session.xml, xfce4-settings-manager.xml, xsettings.xml, xfce4-session.xml | 07:46 |
| huseyin | i.e. in xfce4-session.xml it seems all the values are set to "empty" | 07:47 |
| nicofs | I'd just back them up somewhere (just put them into an archive), so that they are gone and restart - hopefully that sets your session back tu default... in case of the worst: do you have something to boot a live system if it fails...? | 07:48 |
| huseyin | i have a dual boot system. I can boot from Pardus (Linux again) and reach back to the files | 07:49 |
| huseyin | nicofs: thank you very much. I'll backup the directory, remove the files and restart to try | 07:49 |
| huseyin | i'll get back here with the result :) | 07:50 |
| huseyin | bye | 07:50 |
| larre | you were right, there is a package called gues additions from virtualbox that needs to be installed in xubuntu | 07:52 |
| larre | Now as a newbie I dont even know how to install that | 07:52 |
| larre | VBoxLinuxAdditions.run is the file. How do I run it? | 07:53 |
| larre | could just click on it as I need to be root | 07:54 |
| larre | could not I mean | 07:54 |
| nicofs | larre, is it set to executable...? | 07:55 |
| larre | have no idea | 07:56 |
| nicofs | can you sudo? | 07:57 |
| larre | of cpurse | 07:57 |
| larre | course | 07:58 |
| nicofs | "sudo chmod +x VBoxLinuxAdditions.run" | 07:58 |
| larre | vbox has emulated a cd-rom where the files are, but I dont know how to get to that folder in the terminal | 07:59 |
| larre | ah nevermind | 08:01 |
| larre | solved it | 08:01 |
| huseyin | hi again | 08:03 |
| huseyin | nicofs: removing configuration files didn't help | 08:03 |
| huseyin | but, during our conservation i have realized that window manager settings were disappeared | 08:04 |
| huseyin | i googled for that problem | 08:04 |
| huseyin | and found out the solution | 08:04 |
| huseyin | xfwm4 --replace | 08:04 |
| huseyin | solved my problem | 08:04 |
| larre | chmod just changes rights it seems. I need to execute the run-file as root | 08:05 |
| huseyin | but, when i put back the original configuration files, i had to run xfwm4 --replace command again | 08:05 |
| huseyin | nicofs: thanks again | 08:06 |
| huseyin | bye | 08:06 |

| flameboy | Hi guys, I need some help with my xorg.conf coding | 10:39 |
| emilhem | I'm having a problem. When the Swap "memory" is starting to be used by the system the computer starts to lag very much. I only have 1GB of RAM and almost 4GB of Swap. | 11:04 |
| Sysi | completely normal, happens because harddisk is much slower than RAM | 11:06 |
| emilhem | But the lag is extreme. Yes the hard drive isn't the best but I think that it shoulden't lag this much. Do you think that I should reduce the size of the Swap or is there a way to reduce the usage of the Swap file system? | 11:08 |
| Sysi | swap is used when you're out of ram.. you need to get more if you use apps that require lots of ram | 11:10 |
| Sysi | hdd is *terribly* slow compared to ram really | 11:10 |
| Sysi | amount of swap doesn't matter much, you need to have it as much aas you need.. | 11:11 |
| emilhem | I know that. But I'm only using the computer for browsing the web and typing php codes in Geany. | 11:11 |
| Sysi | what browser? | 11:12 |
| TheSheep | flashblock should help | 11:15 |
| emilhem | Firefox. | 11:16 |
| ablomen | emilhem, are you running any other applications? i'm running ff with a lot of tabs, and loads of other stuff and only 1754mb is being used, of which 950 mb is cache/buffers | 11:17 |
| emilhem | I run lamp too but its only for local usage and it's set to use as little cache and memory as possible. | 11:18 |
| emilhem | I use skype too. | 11:18 |
| ablomen | emilhem, you could take a look at the task manager (or top) to see whats using all that ram | 11:20 |
| ablomen | firefox uses about 500mb here but that's with plugins open and sites like facebook, google docs/read/plus and twitter open, which are quite JS heavy | 11:21 |
| emilhem | I'll do that. But thanks for the tip about flashblock. | 11:21 |

| gigenieks | hi guys! | 17:29 |
| gigenieks | what was the command of Alt+F2 to restart Xubuntu window manager? I remember it was something like "xfce4 --replace ? | 17:31 |
| charlie-tca | xfwm4 --replace | 17:31 |
| gigenieks | charlie-tca: it fixed I just didnt remember at first exact typo.. it happened 2nd time in month or so. Anyway thank you, have a nice evening! :) | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:51 |
| charlie-tca | Not easy remembering all these different commands. | 17:52 |
| Sysi | doesn't it suggest command when you type "xf"? | 17:52 |
| Myrtti | Sysi: alt-f2 in Xubuntu? no | 17:54 |
| Myrtti | only if you've used it before | 17:54 |
| gigenieks | yeah it did suggest (this is 2nd time i do this) | 18:03 |
| Myrtti | alt-f2 is lovely tho - I used gnome-do for a while and got used to the keyboard combo to evoke it so I changed the keyboard combo for "Run program" to be from alt-f2 to ctrl-space and now I use it more than I do use menus :-D | 18:05 |
| einseenai | hello, guys, anybody experienced multiple "don't show this message again" buttons in xfce4 notify? | 18:16 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 18:18 |
| charlie-tca | is your system up to date? | 18:18 |
| einseenai | any way to solve it? | 18:18 |
| einseenai | well, i just tried xubuntu daily image | 18:19 |
| einseenai | oneiric | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | I haven't seen that on any of the tests | 18:19 |
| charlie-tca | is that todays image? | 18:19 |
| einseenai | nope O:) | 18:20 |
| einseenai | ok, i'll try today's one now | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | Then, I would suggest today's image. old images have bugs that have been fixed | 18:20 |
| einseenai | thanks a lot, charlie-tca :) | 18:20 |
| charlie-tca | We never fix bugs on old images :) | 18:21 |

| charlie-tca | If you get the pile of notices with today's image, please file a bug report | 18:21 |
| einseenai | ok, i'll try :) though i don't know how to. | 18:22 |
| einseenai | (when i saw this in oneiric - i thought, oh god, it's still here since 10.04) | 18:22 |
| einseenai | ok | 18:22 |
| einseenai | do i have to do this in launchpad or with a prog? | 18:23 |

| einseenai | i try new image now. | 18:25 |

| charlie-tca | you open a terminal and type | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | ubuntu-bug xfce4-notifyd | 18:25 |
| charlie-tca | to file it against oneiric | 18:26 |
| einseenai | thanks, charlie-tca, i'll see if it's still there. | 18:27 |
| charlie-tca | Thank you | 18:27 |
| einseenai | charlie-tca, btw, don't you know by chance, is there some nice ap to set colors for gtk themes in xfce? | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | no | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | not that I know of | 18:28 |
| charlie-tca | Mostly it is by direct modification of the files | 18:28 |

| cavaticus | If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. I have spent the past 5 hours scouring Google for a fix. FYI, I'm a noob. Anyways, I have had Xubuntu 11.04 installed for a day on my system. It was fine when I turned it off last night. When I turned it on this afternoon, however, the desktop is a brown color, no icons are appearing. There is no titlebar, and there is only one workspace. Menus on the menu bar are occasionally di | 23:34 |
| cavaticus | sappearing when I mouse over them. I have found that typing "Metacity" in the console temporarily fixes the window based problem and changing themes fixes the icons and background, but once I reboot, it's all messed up again. Anyone know what is going on and how I can fix it? | 23:34 |
| knome | cavaticus, try running "xfwm4 --replace" | 23:36 |
| cavaticus | Wow, seems to have fixed the problem. Just to satiate my curiosity, what was going on? | 23:38 |
| cavaticus | Thanks! | 23:38 |
| knome | cavaticus, apparently, the xfce window manager was shut down | 23:38 |
| knome | cavaticus, now, when you shut the pc the next time, remember to save the session | 23:39 |
| cavaticus | How do I save the session? | 23:39 |
| knome | when you click the quit button, there should be a checkbox in the quit dialog | 23:40 |
| cavaticus | knome, thank you. | 23:40 |
| knome | no problem | 23:40 |
