| GridCube | claude_, press alt-f2 and write: xfwm4 --replace | 01:54 |
| claude_ | ha fixed it myself | 02:01 |
| claude_ | but thanks for the effort | 02:02 |
| willijs3 | anyone know how I can change the default settings of synclient on a reboot? Adding script to rc.local works on startup, and after doing some research, I created a script and added it to the rc0.d folder, but it's not working for me. Any ideas? | 03:12 |
| wieckj | Hey, I'm completely new to xubuntu. Every time I try to install something that requires authentication, it gets stuck at "applying changes" - the bar doesn't load. Any help? | 03:45 |
| k_sze | When I plug a USB flash drive, it gets automatically mounted. However, when I attempt to eject it in Xubuntu's File Manager, I get a blink of a "Permission Denied" message. Is that normal? | 04:06 |
| Unit193 | wieckj: Try using the terminal and sudo apt-get install <package name> to see if that helps. | 04:12 |
| Unit193 | k_sze: Nope, not for me. | 04:12 |

| foobArrr | is there any gui program on a fresh xubuntu installation that shows hardware information? | 10:09 |
| TheSheep | foobArrr: no gui, you can use lshw or install lshw-gtk | 10:16 |
| foobArrr | thx, I didn't know there is a gtk interface for lswh | 10:47 |
| potapov | After upgrading from xubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 terminator's pseudo-transparency does not seem to work any more. I can get real transparency by changing "compositor"'s settings in "Window manager tweaks" section (i'm not sure there was such a section before upgrading), but real transparency is not what I need) Any suggestions? | 11:28 |
| nikolam | I have Xubuntu 10.04LTS64-bit changing default window manager to gnome's one, starting nautilus as desktop manager sometimes and now, saying "Not Authenticated" when i try to reinstall xfwm... | 11:35 |
| nikolam | How can it ib unauthenticated if system was installed from xubuntu alternate cd? | 11:37 |
| joeythesaint | I've got no idea if this is offtopic or not but I'm seeing some very annoying behaviour that appears to be GTK-related. | 13:11 |
| joeythesaint | Problem is, I'm only (currently) seeing it with Evolution, which I know isn't the supported mail client for Xubuntu. | 13:11 |
| * joeythesaint is running Xubuntu 12.04, currently, too. | 13:11 | |
| joeythesaint | So I'm probably way off the map. | 13:11 |
| joeythesaint | If anyone has any suggestions, though, I'd happy try them out. | 13:12 |
| * joeythesaint posts an example screenshot: http://troll.ws/i/VGp9WH.png | 13:13 | |
| TheSheep | joeythesaint: your gtk theme doesn't include a gtk3 theme, and epiphany is now a gtk3 application | 13:14 |
| joeythesaint | The black boxes at the top of the sidebar and around the mail header appear to be constant for almost any GTK theme I choose. | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | s/epiphany/evolution | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | sorry | 13:14 |
| joeythesaint | Ah. | 13:14 |
| joeythesaint | That's what I was concerned about. | 13:14 |
| joeythesaint | Seems like I've only got one or two themes installed total that have a gtk3 theme, then. | 13:15 |
| joeythesaint | Thanks, TheSheep. | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | sounds about right, there aren't that many themes yet | 13:17 |

| metal55 | Hello all | 16:32 |
| metal55 | Quick question, I have downloaded SublimeText 2 and excellent text editor application, it seems to run straight from my downloads folder but I would like to install it properly | 16:33 |
| metal55 | Do I just copy it into an 'applications' directory? | 16:33 |
| metal55 | is there an installer type application I can point at it? | 16:33 |
| metal55 | sorry for the noob questions | 16:34 |
| pleia2 | in linux you don't strictly have a single authoritative "applications" directory | 16:34 |
| pleia2 | I tend to put such things in my home directory under a folder I create called bin/ | 16:35 |
| pleia2 | if you want other users on your system to have access to it, you might put it in /usr/local/bin/ | 16:35 |
| metal55 | ah excellent thank you | 16:35 |
| pleia2 | but it doesn't matter really, you can run it from Downloads forever if you want :) | 16:35 |
| metal55 | cool | 16:36 |
| metal55 | I don't seem to be able to put anything in usr/local/bin | 16:37 |
| metal55 | its like I don't have permission | 16:37 |
| metal55 | .. I only just installed xubuntu | 16:37 |
| Sysi | you need to use "gksudo thunar" | 16:38 |
| metal55 | gksudo thunar? | 16:39 |
| metal55 | sorry completely new to xubuntu | 16:40 |
| Sysi | run it in terminal or Alt F2 popup window | 16:43 |
| metal55 | ahh I see | 16:44 |
| metal55 | thank you | 16:44 |
| Sysi | (as it should tell you, be careful) | 16:45 |
| metal55 | yep with you, | 16:49 |
| metal55 | Dose anyone know if there are there any quick launcher applications like quick silver, launchy or alfred? | 16:50 |
| Sysi | several, for example synapse and gnome-do | 16:51 |
| metal55 | fantastic synapse looks great | 16:53 |
| metal55 | How do I add these applications to my "start menu" | 16:53 |
| Sysi | I think you can create entries with alacarte, I recommend installing it with "apt-get --no-install-recommends install alacarte" | 16:57 |
| Sysi | otherly it pulls half of gnome with it | 16:57 |
| metal55 | awesome thank you very much for your help, its appreciated. | 17:01 |
| n2diy_ | can I restart my panel? Xfce4-panel restart tells me it is already running. | 17:33 |
| Sysi | xfce4-panel -r should work | 17:33 |
| n2diy_ | Sysi, thanks, that did the trick. | 17:35 |
| n2diy_ | still have weird behavior though. when I switch between apps, the panel dissappears, but when I mouse over it, it reappers. It's not set to auto hide, and it is floating, now currently two inches above my screen border. | 17:37 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 17:44 |
| ThePendulum | I was wondering if it's possible to hide panels, without removing them | 17:44 |
| Sysi | in their settings | 17:46 |
| ThePendulum | That's basically only autohide | 17:52 |
| Sysi | you can remove xfce4-panel from session | 17:52 |

| lglcrtnd | dear all, I am new with Xubuntu I need a help to install SH file. Anyone? | 20:11 |
| lglcrtnd | no one ? | 20:16 |
| lglcrtnd | no one here? | 20:17 |
| skellat | lglcrtnd: Could you please explain further what you're trying to do with a SH file? | 20:21 |
| lglcrtnd | I am tring to install it via Terminal | 20:43 |
| lglcrtnd | but I cannot get the job done | 20:43 |
| lglcrtnd | how do I tune xubuntu start up programs? | 20:54 |
| lglcrtnd | i cannot open the program management | 20:57 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: what are you trying to open>? | 20:58 |
| holstein | try opening whatever your are having trouble with from a terminal.. maybe you get some helpful output | 20:59 |
| lglcrtnd | what command I have to invoke | 20:59 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: depends on what you are trying to open | 21:00 |
| lglcrtnd | I am in terminal as root now | 21:00 |
| holstein | why as root? | 21:00 |
| holstein | you mean, sudo -s ? | 21:00 |
| lglcrtnd | as root cause as admin the system doesn t let me open that program | 21:01 |
| lglcrtnd | I want to open the package management program | 21:01 |
| holstein | what admin system? | 21:01 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: sudo synaptic | 21:01 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install synaptic if its not installed already | 21:01 |
| lglcrtnd | sudo synaptic did the job, THANK YOU | 21:02 |
| lglcrtnd | now I am looking for a program to install tat let me see the boot sequence of the programms that are loaded when I turn on my computer | 21:03 |
| lglcrtnd | any suggestions? | 21:03 |
| lglcrtnd | my goal is to speed up the boot sequence | 21:05 |
| lglcrtnd | this is because I have an old computer with 256MB of memory | 21:06 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: i would go in the menu... there is something like "startup" or "sesssions" or "startup applications" | 21:08 |
| holstein | its in the settings, not too far in | 21:08 |
| lglcrtnd | well done; I have got it | 21:09 |
| Mokura | I'm getting strange errors with the Software Center. I'm trying to re-install the Wine beta packages after an uninstall, but it keeps giving me a "check your connection" error (I'm definitely connected) then an "unauthenticated packages" error. Any idea on why this might be happening? | 21:11 |
| holstein | Mokura: i would entertain the internet connection... i would try using synaptic or another package manger... | 21:12 |
| Mokura | Using apt-get from the terminal actually prompts me if I want to install the related packages marked as unauthed, but I'm wondering why it got marked like that in the first place. | 21:12 |
| * Mokura shrugs, attempts terminal wizardry. | 21:12 | |
| holstein | it?.. the list? maybe you added a PPA | 21:12 |
| Mokura | Yes, I added Wine's PPA. | 21:12 |
| Mokura | It never gave me this problem on the initial install. | 21:12 |
| holstein | i would look at your sources... i would consider purging that PPA, and getting "back to normal" and going from there | 21:13 |
| Mokura | Ahh | 21:13 |
| Mokura | I shall try that. | 21:13 |
| Mokura | Welp, that fixed it. Odd. | 21:14 |
| Mokura | Considering Wine's Ubuntu packages page tells you to add their PPA. | 21:14 |
| lglcrtnd | sorry guys, what is PPA? Are the sub-package that are related to the main installer? | 21:15 |
| Mokura | from what I understand, it's another source for packages | 21:16 |
| Mokura | instead of just x/ubuntu's sources | 21:16 |
| Mokura | I'm still learning so my definition could be a little off. | 21:16 |
| lglcrtnd | Mokura so another place to get the packages? | 21:16 |
| Mokura | Pretty much. | 21:16 |
| well_laid_lawn | !ppa | 21:18 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 21:18 |
| Mokura | Well then! | 21:18 |
| lglcrtnd | ty ubottu | 21:19 |
| well_laid_lawn | !bot | 21:19 |
| ubottu | Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 21:19 |
| Mokura | also. whenever I click on a search result from google, it appends a bunch of garbage to the page name, which tends to get in the way. is that a google problem or a firefox problem? | 21:21 |
| holstein | Mokura: maybe you are using firefox google... go to http://google.com ...if that works in a way you are not comfortable with, consider another search provider | 21:23 |
| lglcrtnd | I use chromium and I have a clean search results with google.com | 21:23 |
| Mokura | Oh! | 21:24 |
| Mokura | I'll try that. | 21:24 |
| Mokura | I just set the homepage to about:home, so. | 21:24 |
| Mokura | normal google does it too. | 21:24 |
| Mokura | must be a firefox thing, I'll check mozillazine. | 21:24 |
| lglcrtnd | I have my hard disk very busy all the time. what to do to understand why and to kill the program that cause that overflow? | 21:26 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: ps aux | 21:30 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd (& holstein): also top | 21:32 |
| lglcrtnd | top is a better script as I can see in live-real time the usage of resorces | 21:35 |
| lglcrtnd | what is "Xorg" command? | 21:36 |
| holstein | something you need, if you want a GUI | 21:36 |
| lglcrtnd | ok holstein, I need this GUI | 21:37 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: Xorg is the server, if you're in runlevel 3 startx should get you there. | 21:39 |
| lglcrtnd | I see, its about X.org Foundation | 21:41 |
| lglcrtnd | can I configure Xorg? | 21:41 |
| TVasEyes | modern X will configure automatically | 21:41 |
| TVasEyes | although you can, of course, create your own xorg.conf | 21:42 |
| lglcrtnd | but is there anyway to hardering it? | 21:42 |
| TVasEyes | add -nolisten tcp to command line. | 21:42 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: depending on how you decide to start your graphical env, you could add the -nolisten switch in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc | 21:45 |
| lglcrtnd | a bit lost. I am in terminal as root, I invoke STARTX the answer is that the server is already running | 21:45 |
| TVasEyes | terminal or console? | 21:46 |
| holstein | in a terminal, from within XFCE | 21:46 |
| lglcrtnd | terminal | 21:46 |
| TVasEyes | well, then X is running already anyway. :) | 21:47 |
| lglcrtnd | yes | 21:47 |
| lglcrtnd | now I want to have a minimal load of graphical env | 21:47 |
| lglcrtnd | can I tune the graph server? | 21:47 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: you do... XFCE is one of the lighter ones | 21:47 |
| holstein | if you want less, i would suggest LXDE | 21:48 |
| lglcrtnd | ok how to do XFCE? In terminal it says COMMAND NOT FOUND | 21:48 |
| lglcrtnd | LXDE ? Ok I need less | 21:48 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: you are running xubuntu, correct? | 21:48 |
| lglcrtnd | yes holstein | 21:48 |
| holstein | xubuntu = ubuntu running XFCE, the XFCE environment | 21:48 |
| holstein | !xfce | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 21:49 |
| lglcrtnd | clear and what about LXDE? | 21:49 |
| holstein | its another environment that is arguably lighter.. and may or may not suit your needs | 21:49 |
| TVasEyes | similar to XFCE but needs to be installed separately (not done that though ) | 21:49 |
| lglcrtnd | ok guys, my question now is, can I tune XFCE so that it works with minimum graphical engine? | 21:51 |
| holstein | lglcrtnd: it really is quite minimal as-is | 21:51 |
| lglcrtnd | I see | 21:51 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: have a look in Settings 'Session & Startup' maybe you can do without something which autosarts? | 21:52 |
| lglcrtnd | TVasEyes done already | 21:53 |
| holstein | yeah, maybe bluetooth or printing support.. or the auto-updates... thats likely what you are seeing using the hard drive | 21:53 |
| lglcrtnd | killed them already | 21:53 |
| TVasEyes | that's basically it then.. | 21:53 |
| lglcrtnd | true, it was a problem at the beginning | 21:53 |
| lglcrtnd | anyhow, I am running Xubuntu on one my old portable machine with 256MB and I am surprise of the results with this OS | 21:53 |
| holstein | i think other enviroments are lighter, but XFCE is a nice balance of function and lightness | 21:54 |
| TVasEyes | it might be heresy to suggest this here but slackware with WindowMaker will run happily in 128Mb | 21:55 |
| TVasEyes | :) | 21:55 |
| lglcrtnd | slackware is an OS? | 21:55 |
| TVasEyes | yes | 21:55 |
| lglcrtnd | ty for the info | 21:55 |
| well_laid_lawn | running just a window manager is lighter than using a desktop environment | 21:55 |
| TVasEyes | one of the oldest Linuxes | 21:55 |
| holstein | puppy linux too, sinc it runs from ram... still, i think xubuntu and lubuntu are nice choices that strike a good balance | 21:59 |
| TVasEyes | agree holstein, good usability all-round | 22:00 |
| TVasEyes | xubuntu, thst is | 22:00 |
| TVasEyes | s/thst/that/ | 22:00 |
| lglcrtnd | early today I was trying to install bootcharter | 22:02 |
| lglcrtnd | that is a package available as repository | 22:03 |
| lglcrtnd | its a program to tune the start up process | 22:03 |
| lglcrtnd | I have installed it via synaptic | 22:06 |
| lglcrtnd | the installation was ok, now I cannot invoke it as I have lost it somewhere on my hard disk | 22:06 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: if you remove the 'quiet splash' (but leave the empty quotes) from /etc/default/grub you get loads more info during boot. | 22:07 |
| lglcrtnd | I try | 22:07 |
| TVasEyes | also, dmesg provides info on what happened during start-up | 22:09 |
| lglcrtnd | I am on Grub now | 22:09 |
| lglcrtnd | do I have to remove all the # simbols? | 22:10 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: no, just remove the two words from the something-something-COMMANDLINE entry | 22:12 |
| lglcrtnd | and I live the two "" ? | 22:13 |
| TVasEyes | exactly | 22:13 |
| lglcrtnd | cool | 22:13 |
| lglcrtnd | impossible to write | 22:14 |
| TVasEyes | you have to be root :) | 22:14 |
| lglcrtnd | ok | 22:14 |
| lglcrtnd | how to invoke from terminal to edit the file grub? EDIT? OPEN? ...? | 22:17 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: btw, I suggest that when you make changes to system files keep notes (in a text file?), really helps in a few weeks from now :) | 22:18 |
| TVasEyes | which editor are you accustomed to ? | 22:18 |
| lglcrtnd | good suggestion, I create text file to log my changes | 22:19 |
| lglcrtnd | abyword can be fine | 22:19 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: I always go root (a definite no-no her :) ), there's a gksudo or somesuch, ie "gksudo abiword". someone more familar with 'proper' working practice should help you from here :( | 22:21 |
| TVasEyes | remember, abiword is a word processor, you MUST save a plain text file | 22:22 |
| lglcrtnd | yes, I will keep the plain text once I finish the editing. Ty | 22:22 |
| lglcrtnd | done all, thank you for your support | 22:24 |
| TVasEyes | enjoy :) | 22:24 |
| lglcrtnd | BTW dmesg -c give me a very large list of tasks! | 22:28 |
| TVasEyes | lglcrtnd: why the -c switch (which clears the buffer)? simply dmesg | less to read what happened. | 22:29 |
| lglcrtnd | yes | 22:31 |
| lglcrtnd | I have saved this conversation, as my first approch to Linux :) | 22:31 |
| lglcrtnd | good starting for me | 22:31 |
| TVasEyes | in that case I do not recommend slackware yet :-) | 22:31 |
| lglcrtnd | ehehe | 22:31 |
| lglcrtnd | I remove that line from the file ;) | 22:32 |
| TVasEyes | :) ok. got to go. good luck. | 22:32 |
| lglcrtnd | thanks mate, bye for now | 22:32 |
| c_smith | is it at all safe to install Gwibber on Xubuntu? | 23:05 |
| TVasEyes | c_smith: their blog states: "Gwibber is included out of the box in Ubuntu 10.04", so, although I've never used it, it should be ok. | 23:13 |
| Marzata | Gwibber is OK in Xubuntu. | 23:36 |
