| mang0 | Hey all, I'm having real trouble with pulseaudio. It was working fine a couple of days ago, and now it's suddenly not working. In the xfce volume control icon, instead of seeing my soundcard and stuff listed, it just says "Playback: Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer)" and the other option is "Capture: Monitor of Dummy Output (PulseAudio Mixer). This is really weird, I've not seen these before. What can I do? I wnt sound back ;__; I posted this yesterday, b | 08:53 |
| mang0 | ut had to go to bed before I could get an answer to fix it... | 08:53 |
| well_laid_lawn | mang0: did the sound stop after an upgrade? | 08:59 |
| Kingsy | guys, I was setting up a vnc server yesterday and in the xstartup I just put initxfce4 <--- I THINK something like that.. when I opened the vnc server it loaded xfce fine but it wasnt the normal instance.. it looked like default or something.. how do you get it to start the xubuntu interface? | 09:08 |
| mang0 | well_laid_lawn: Well, I recently switched from gnome/unity over to xfce completely, and removed gnome. The sound has only been having problems after that. But, it was working yesterady... | 09:08 |

| Kingsy | no-one around today ? | 10:09 |
| Feye | Is there a way in Xubuntu to get rid of a login manager and boot directly into the X environment omitting a password ? By changing a runlevel, or something like that ? | 10:20 |
| Feye | I found it possible in a rergular Ubuntu using their Gnome Administration utility, but there is no such thing in xfce. Thank you. | 10:22 |
| TheSheep | Feye: you can set the login manager to autologin | 10:24 |
| TheSheep | !lightdm | Feye | 10:25 |
| Kingsy | TheSheep: any ideas about my issue? | 10:25 |
| Kingsy | been googling for a while now with no avail | 10:25 |
| TheSheep | Kingsy: I don't use vnc, but I suppose you could just login to that account locally, choosing the xubuntu session as default | 10:26 |
| TheSheep | Kingsy: after that it should use it by default everywhere | 10:26 |
| Kingsy | yeah, well the problem isnt local really, I choose xubuntu session when I log in, but if I use vnc before I log in, then it starts my user with the standard xfce session.. and does so until I log the user out and log back in, it would be nice to just start the xubuntu session from xstartup | 10:27 |
| Kingsy | TheSheep: I don't really know who/where to ask.. even google doesnt seem to know | 10:28 |
| Feye | Thank you. | 10:28 |
| Kingsy | well if anyone gets a second and has an idea about my problem give me a shout.. thanks | 10:47 |

| ThePendulum | How does one format an usb drive in xfce/xubuntu? | 16:03 |
| ThePendulum | *a | 16:03 |
| TheSheep | ThePendulum: with the startup disk creator | 16:03 |
| TheSheep | ThePendulum: in system menu | 16:03 |
| ThePendulum | Oh hey | 16:04 |
| ThePendulum | Can I also use it to throw an openSUSE installation on it? | 16:04 |
| TheSheep | sure | 16:04 |
| TheSheep | any iso | 16:04 |
| ThePendulum | TIL | 16:04 |
| ThePendulum | thanks | 16:04 |
| ThePendulum | Hm | 16:05 |
| ThePendulum | The ISO doens't show up when I select it | 16:05 |
| ThePendulum | I'll just go with the regular method then, thanks for at least showing me a way to format that drive :) | 16:06 |
| TheSheep | there should be an 'other' button or something like that | 16:06 |
| TheSheep | yw | 16:06 |
| ThePendulum | Yeah, I clicked that one and selected the openSUSE Gnome installation, but after I select it, it won't show up in the Startup Disc Creator list | 16:06 |

| linuxjones | is there a way to run vlc on a remote machine | 16:16 |
| Unit193 | In what way? | 16:16 |
| ThePendulum | linuxjones: The media player? | 16:17 |
| linuxjones | yeah | 16:18 |
| Unit193 | A few ways, depends on what you want to do. | 16:19 |
| ThePendulum | What prevents you from running it? | 16:20 |
| linuxjones | nothing, i have another xubuntu install on a pc thats connected to my tv, and i would like to be able to play movies on it either with ssh or some net command | 16:21 |
| Unit193 | linuxjones: Alright, you can either use nvlc (better option for remote control), or DISPLAY=:0 vlc | 16:23 |
| Unit193 | Both you can put the filename after. | 16:23 |
| Adriannom | hi. i've installed compiz but even though i've updated /etc/xdg/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-session.xml to use compiz it just doesn't. any ideas where i can go from here? | 16:30 |
| Adriannom | i'm on 11.10 | 16:31 |
| Unit193 | compiz --replace is generally the way to do it. | 16:34 |
| Adriannom | Unit193, that would load the wm, then replace the wm. i want to load the correct wm initially. anyway, when i try compiz --replace with xfce4 selected as the window manager it says that the window manager is already loaded and crashes | 16:36 |
| Unit193 | After you would have done that, you'd have checked "Save Session" when logging out. | 16:37 |
| Unit193 | But otherwise, dunno as I've never used it. | 16:39 |
| Adriannom | save session would load compiz --replace on login right? | 16:40 |
| Adriannom | if so compiz --replace isn't working for me :( | 16:40 |
| Adriannom | it did before i changed the window decorator in compiz settings to xfce4 | 16:41 |
| Adriannom | but now it complains that the wm is already loaded | 16:41 |
| Adriannom | no help on here, #ubuntu, #xfce or #compiz. any other channels i could try? | 17:12 |
| Marzata | compiz? what for? | 17:14 |
| Adriannom | why did i join the channel or why am i trying to use compiz? | 17:15 |
| Adriannom | primarily i need the zoom feature. the other stuff would be nice too, but not entirely necessary i guess | 17:16 |
| Marzata | ah so | 17:16 |
| Adriannom | ah so indeed | 17:18 |
| mongy | I use it without problems. I added compiz --replace ccp to startup applications, | 17:48 |
| Adriannom | mongy, which window decorator? emerald? | 17:55 |
| mongy | yup | 18:38 |

| leo-unglaub | my normal usb drive ist broken and i only have a 512mb stick to reinstall my pc | 18:44 |
| Sysi | you can make minimal installation and then install xubuntu-desktop | 18:45 |
| Sysi | (if there isn't ready image) | 18:45 |
| leo-unglaub | Sysi: you mean th default ubuntu netinstall wothout unity and then installing xubuntu-desktop? | 18:46 |
| Sysi | yeah, minimal ubuntu (not server) | 18:47 |
| Sysi | you maybe can select xubuntu desktop already when installing | 18:47 |
| leo-unglaub | Sysi: thats a great idea | 18:48 |
| leo-unglaub | thanks !!! | 18:48 |
| Sysi | np | 18:53 |
| leo-unglaub | Sysi: it works perfect, thanks for the tip. now, after 1 year of **** unity i am the first time happy again with my desktop | 19:04 |
| Sysi | I've been happy with xfce for years :p | 19:05 |

| xubuntu705 | My main beef is I don't want any problems, i don't want to do an update and have the thing freeze onme | 19:34 |
| Marzata | xubuntu705: it has a weather gadget, yes | 19:34 |
| xubuntu705 | is it included on the live version, the weather gadget, I don't see it? | 19:36 |
| xubuntu705 | nm i see the panel | 19:41 |

| leo-unglaub1 | hi, is there a way to have tabs in thunar? | 21:30 |

| leo-unglaub1 | okay :) i guess i am not the first one asking this *g* | 21:31 |
| TheSheep | http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=5904 | 21:32 |
| TheSheep | indeed | 21:32 |
| mongy | I don't see why they are against the 'option' of it. | 21:33 |
| leo-unglaub1 | TheSheep: i see, thanks! | 21:34 |
| mongy | does pcmanfm do tabs? I think I remember it does | 21:34 |
| leo-unglaub1 | mongy: in the forum it sounds there is a long discussion about it, so i don't want to troll around there. i accept the developers desicion and simply clone the git repos and patch it in my self | 21:36 |
| leo-unglaub1 | thanks for the quick answers | 21:36 |
| TheSheep | leo-unglaub1: or you could use a different file manager, like pc-man | 21:37 |
| leo-unglaub1 | TheSheep: i am starting to really like the thunar renaming tools, it's faster than pyRename | 21:38 |
| knome | leo-unglaub1, basically tabs would clutter the interface :) | 21:39 |
| mongy | only if you switched it on | 21:39 |
| knome | if it needed on/off switch, that would clutter the configuration options mroe | 21:40 |
| mongy | that's what I'm saying, why not just give the option. not that I use them/care | 21:40 |
| knome | *more | 21:40 |
| leo-unglaub1 | i am with mongy with this. if i don't open a new tab, i don't have the interface problem | 21:40 |
| mongy | mm ok | 21:40 |
| leo-unglaub1 | and with tabs i thing putting them below the top seperator would work | 21:41 |
| mongy | I guess if it's that big a deal for someone they can use another fm | 21:41 |
| knome | well, i do disagree/stand with the xfce devs | 21:41 |
| TheSheep | more importantly, tabs would change how you use thunar | 21:41 |
| TheSheep | and thunar was designed to be used in specific way | 21:41 |
| TheSheep | which is quite efficinet, by the way, once you get used to it | 21:41 |
| knome | :) | 21:41 |
| TheSheep | and as leo-unglaub1 noted, this is not a topic for this channel | 21:42 |
| Sysi | yeah, great to have own way, if you want different you can use one of many other FMs | 21:42 |
| knome | yup. welcome to #xubuntu-offtopic :) | 21:42 |
| leo-unglaub1 | please don't get me wrong...i am new to xfce, i am just trying a little bit :) | 21:42 |
