[00:00] ThePendulum: the .desktop file [00:01] ThePendulum: look if a .desktop file exists for it first [00:01] There are no hidden files in that folder [00:02] no, a file with extension .desktop [00:06] There's only a "Desktop" file, but none of the files seem to have a .desktop extension [00:06] mongy: i know. but at least awn and cairo didn't exactly integrate well with xfce the last time i tried them (~1.5 years ago).

[00:10] and network didnt work so apt too didn work ǘ [00:10] I honestly don't know what you mean [00:12] how to connect to wlan from promt??? [00:13] ThePendulum: http://imgur.com/pTQWP [00:14] Oh there's more to that file than just executing [00:15] Well...?

[00:17] I don't follow [00:20] When I right-click on a file in my Dropbox folder, there should be a 'Dropbox' category with the 'Copy link' option, so I can share that file [00:24] ah, I see [01:35] finally === CLIaddict is now known as UNIXnerd === UNIXnerd is now known as CLIaddict === CLIaddict is now known as CLIaddict[away] [02:02] maybe you guys are more helpful, I AM using xubuntu after all [02:02] brb === CLIaddict[away] is now known as CLIaddict === CLIaddict is now known as CLIaddict[away] === CLIaddict[away] is now known as CLIaddict [03:57] what is the binary that runs the "crash report" in the indicator plugin? i want to get rid of it permanently, it is very annoying to me, and i usually am well aware of a crash without the need for a visual notification :) [03:58] and how do i set up the keychain to automatically unlock/authenticate when loading my desktop instead of prompting for a password when i open my web browser the first time during the session? i know i can remove the keychain password completely, but that's not practical to me [05:37] Anyone on irc? [05:39] I could use some help [06:07] alright I have used linux for over 4 years close to 5 and have moved to xubuntu after ubuntu switched to unity and gnome depreciated version 2. However I have had my computer go completely unresponisive where I had to pull the power chord to reboot. And by unresponsive ctrl+alt+f1 would not take me to a command line... This is the third time today what is going on [06:11] Did you try booting from a cd, to try to pull some logs? [06:12] <---- Noob btw [06:12] but it's still a thought [06:12] On my first 3 installs I borked some things up bad, and had to boot from a disc to fix them [06:15] well I can still reboot into the system but the frequent crashing is driving me crazy [06:16] I have you checked logs? [06:16] Have you^ [06:17] Does it only crash while you're using it, or while it's sleeping? [06:17] brandon, I have a question for you.... [06:18] do you have a bt dongle? [06:18] blue tooth [06:22] no, its built in blue tooth [06:22] But I use BT dongles on my other computers but they all run gnome 2 [06:27] I have connected a bluetooth devise via blueman, and enabled pulseaudio plugin, in the sound settings I can see the bt input and the volume level changing, but can hear no sound. I checked puvu control, and the alsa mixer, nothing is muted. I ran a sound record, which actually recorded the audio I could not hear [06:30] a bluetooth headset? [06:30] I have only used bluetooth for file transfers sorry [06:30] My phone [06:31] Oh [06:31] I got obex to work just fine [06:31] well you can access the files on your phone [06:31] but cannot get the music to stream via bluetooth [06:31] but thats all I have done in the past [06:31] if there not encrypted [06:31] I'm trying to set up so my wife won't blow the pc speakers on my windows machine..... [06:32] My xubuntu is hooked up to my stereo [06:32] and my big screen [06:32] ah I see [06:32] in the living room [06:32] the pc is in the bedroom.. so she turns it up allllllll the way [06:32] I know for a fact that you can limit users to a certin volume [06:32] but If I could set it up so she only had to toggle bt [06:32] .... [06:33] then she could use the big speakers wirelessly [06:33] :O [06:33] I love the concept, and I'm so close! [06:33] well Im saying I know that you can set the computer not to go above a certing level for her account [06:34] srry certain [06:35] yeah... [06:36] these crashes are a pain when im trying to download 27,000 pictures ... [06:47] well good luck let me know if there is something else I could help you with [07:07] ty [11:52] hi [11:52] xubuntu 11.10 - cpu-freq-plugin does not take any effect to frequency - any solution?

[12:35] some apps only work with indicator-applet and some with notification area [12:36] indicator applet is a retarded and broken idea at remarking the notification area, in short [12:37] in an attempt to make the notification area work like on mac [12:43] TheSheep how to adjust it at least by cmd? [12:47] raven: I don't understand [12:48] TheSheep performance/ondemand/.... [12:49] it should be ondemand automatically [12:52] mongy yes but i need to adjust to powersafe and performance too [12:53] ondemand is already good for that.. it will bump up when needed [12:58] mongy i need powersafe manually!! [13:01] I think there is an indicator that can do it. jupiter I think its called [13:01] never used it [13:04] http://askubuntu.com/questions/73710/how-can-i-adjust-cpu-frq-in-lubuntu nice [13:05] I've got that jupiter thing on the laptop - seems to work ok [13:11] hobgoblin how to add it to panel? [13:11] raven: not remembering - hang on I'll go boot it up [13:12] hobgoblin does not work anyway - perhaps no root? [13:13] works here - which is not much help - I didn't do anything odd with it - just started it from the system menu [13:13] sits in the notification area I think [13:15] hm [13:17] shouldn't need root afaik - try it from a terminal and see if there are any errors - /usr/bin/jupiter-run [13:18] and when you say it does not work - what exactly do you mean? it runs but doesn't do anything or doesn't even run [13:19] does not change freq [13:19] oh!

[16:35] heh, the daily ppa was last updated 6 weeks ago [16:35] bah [16:36] no If you try to delete the users you end up creating more than one [16:36] think I'll go with the chrome dev direct from google then [16:37] and yes the icon goes away if you only have one [16:38] but the sign into chrome is the launch page [16:45] Greetings [16:45] obviously different [16:45] I removed Thunar and reinstalled it again.

This isn't really Xubuntu-specific, but I don't know a better place to ask. I want to set up whole disk encryption. I use 3 hard drives, one for the OS, two for data. On windows I use TrueCrypt. It can automount disks that use the same password as the system partition, you only have to enter your password once, pre boot. Is there a way to set something like that up on Xubuntu? [18:58] nvidia is well supported imo [18:59] have you tried searching the software center [18:59] I can play a html5 webgl game at relative high frames, but youtube vids just aint quite there yet [18:59] software centre? for what? [18:59] foobart [19:00] For what? TrueCrypt? It works only that way on windows? [19:01] what does truecrypt or what ever it is called do [19:01] I guess you'd add the other drives to fstab, so they'd mount after your main / mounted [19:02] well the installer should help w/ that or have that option [19:04] foobart man fstab in a terminal [19:09] ohh games chess connect 4 solitaire [19:11] how many displays does your cards support [19:15] me? [19:16] yep [19:16] its a laptop [19:16] I have vga and hdmi interfaces as well. dont use them tho [19:16] not sure what you mean otherwise. [19:21] I feel rather confined when I have less than three screens [19:22] oh. nah, just my 1080 is enough for me. plenty of workspaces tho [19:24] cant believe ive only just removed indicator-messages menu [19:25] only think used by it is pidgin and I hardly use that nor do I need to set status from there. [19:26] any one know of a good program that can be used to view or fix a pdf that's corrupted? [19:26] zerox [19:27] oops I spelled that wrong [19:27] xerox [19:27] thats not free though, is it? [19:28] where did you get the corrupted pdf [19:29] a hidden service [19:29] generally it has to do with what created the file [19:29] but it's currently under a DDoS attack [19:30] i opend the file and started reading it fine while it was still loading(it's 1000+ pages) [19:30] then when it loaded ~900 pages it stopped and now i cant open it again [19:31] i don't really care about the last 10% of the pdf though [19:33] what viewer are you using to read the file (how are you getting the corruption warning) [19:35] the first time i was using "document viewer 2.30.3"(in xubuntu) then i tried foxit [19:36] document viewer says "The document contains no pages" [19:36] but i know it does, and it's ~13 megabytes [19:36] so you changed viewer mid stream [19:37] no [19:37] once i saw it failed to open completely i tried it again on foxit [19:38] but you said 90 percent of it was displayed [19:38] yeah, then the pages disappeared that that message poped up [19:38] really weird, but that's what happened [19:39] well you could always send it to a printer [19:39] what do you mean? [19:46] like give it to a shop and see if they can fix it? [19:48] hahn; http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pdftk [19:49] yeah i have that [19:49] that is what I read does it [19:50] to repair it, yes? [19:52] the only repair that pdftk does is 'repair a pdfs corrupted xref table and stream lengths, if possible' [19:52] and that didn't work [19:52] it came up with an error [19:52] :/ [19:53] http://lmgtfy.com/?q=corrupt+pdf+recovery+software+oss&l= [21:17] Hi, [21:18] i look for an irc french of xubuntu! [21:18] !fr [21:18] Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [21:18] and why not the #xubuntu-fr ? [21:19] Question, will xubuntu run slower if i install xubuntu-desktop on top of a normal ubuntu installation or is it the same thing? [21:19] d3eniz_laptop: *should* be the same [21:20] holstein: thanks [21:21] It generally ends up not being quite the same. [21:22] But holstein is right. [21:23] yeah, usually something in there.. i could propose a hardware case (maybe) that could be slower one way or the other [21:23] i wouldnt lose any sleep over it either way though [21:27] hey if i want skype should i download the ubuntu version? [21:27] for xubuntu [21:28] justakill: yup... the .deb (32 or 64bit, whichever you have) [21:28] cool thanks [21:28] Should be in the extra repos. [21:29] is the're anyway to make logging in freenode.net and entering channels automatically? [21:29] with xchat [21:30] justakill: yes, there is faq on http://freenode.org [21:30] sorry .net [21:30] thanks [21:32] justakill: point 7. here http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup [21:35] yea i found it thanks [21:40] whats the best way to do it in Xchat just send a command on entry, or set up server or nickserv password? [21:40] i'm confused [21:41] justakill: just set it up to connect with user and password [21:41] justakill: in connection settings [22:33] how do i manage the keyring in xubuntu? i am getting errors when i try to open the command from Menu > Other > Keyring Access [22:34] seahorse? [22:37] mongy:: thanks, but seahorse isn't showing the password that i need to modify.. here is what the issue is. When I log in to the desktop everytime it is prompting saying "The keyring service was not unlocked during login. Please enter your keyring password" something to that extent [22:37] mongy:: i have had the issue before with ubuntu based distros, and i have just had to open the keyring and delete the password for the default keyring. but seahorse is only showing my website stored data [22:39] brb [22:41] mongy:: it appears to have stopped that now heh [22:41] have you set a different passphrase for keyrings than your login password? [22:42] i hadn't done anything to any keyring related apps [22:51] not had any keyring issues with my install and wifi etc... [22:51] apart from setting the keyring pass to blank, not sure what else to suggest [22:52] i can't even get to anything to change the keyring to blank though [22:52] the keyring application isn't opening [22:53] /usr/lib/gnome-keyring/gnome-keyring-prompt-3 doesn't work for me [22:56] god-zotac; have you attempted with passwords you do know [22:57] dvanstone:: it unlocks when i put my password in [22:57] i was just wanting to get rid of the prompt everytime i login to my desktop [22:57] because it is annoying having to put the password in once to login, and then again to unlock the keychain [23:07] mongy:: dvanstone this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17739212/Pictures/Screenshots/keyring-everytime-login.png [23:10] let me try this. 1 sec brb [23:12] that fixed it, just blanked the keyring (login) password in seahorse, rebooted, no more prompt [23:22] cool [23:30] hi there [23:30] anyone wake ?
