| ruien | ubuntu should have a "xubuntu-desktop" package which you can apt-get | 00:52 |
| ruien | I haven't tried it before personally; I always have used xubuntu | 00:52 |
| ruien | however, i've heard it works | 00:53 |
| wayne__ | I can try that first. | 00:53 |

| flux242 | hi, I've installed vim but it seems like I cannot change the colorscheme in the xfce4-terminal. Is it a bug or a feature of the 12.04 release? | 07:53 |
| AxD09 | edit ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc and remove all the color lines for default colors | 07:54 |
| flux242 | do you mean all colorpalette entries? | 07:55 |
| AxD09 | not sure... might wanna make a backup | 07:55 |
| flux242 | doesn't seem to help | 07:59 |
| AxD09 | You weren't trying to change the terminal color scheme? | 07:59 |
| flux242 | I was definitely trying to change the scheme | 08:01 |
| AxD09 | hmm worked for me. You can change the terminal color scheme from preferences. | 08:02 |
| flux242 | what works for you? | 08:02 |
| AxD09 | modifying the terminalrc and removing the predefined 12.04 colors | 08:03 |
| flux242 | I'm talking about vim colors you know? | 08:03 |
| AxD09 | so not the terminal color scheme? vim's color scheme | 08:03 |
| flux242 | vim's color scheme is not changable in the xfce4-terminal | 08:04 |
| AxD09 | no clue. never had to change vim's color scheme | 08:05 |
| flux242 | it worked for me before | 08:05 |
| flux242 | something has been changed in the terminal | 08:05 |

| xubuntu515 | how to install program on xubuntu | 09:46 |
| xubuntu515 | ???????????????? | 09:46 |

| xubuntu515 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 09:47 |
| Os_Maleus | xubuntu515: You can use the synaptic package manager. this is a graphical interface. | 09:47 |
| xubuntu515 | with terminal ??? | 09:48 |
| baizon | xubuntu515: sudo apt-get install <app> | 09:48 |
| Os_Maleus | xubuntu515: you can also use the "sudo apt-get install [program-name]" in the terminal | 09:48 |
| xubuntu515 | how to open root | 09:49 |
| Os_Maleus | or you can do that with aptitude as well. also in the terminal. | 09:49 |
| xubuntu515 | Root ??? | 09:49 |
| Os_Maleus | (x)ubuntu doesn't have a root profile. | 09:49 |
| xubuntu515 | sudo nautilus ??? | 09:49 |
| Os_Maleus | You are root. | 09:49 |
| xubuntu515 | ok | 09:49 |
| baizon | xubuntu515: root access is sudo -i | 09:50 |
| Os_Maleus | no explicit root profile! | 09:50 |
| Os_Maleus | that is what makes ubuntu more secure. | 09:50 |
| Os_Maleus | but if You are not familar with the things, I would use only the 'sudo' without the "-i" | 09:51 |
| Os_Maleus | or even better the 'gksudo'. | 09:51 |
| xubuntu515 | gksudo = sudo ?? | 09:52 |
| Os_Maleus | it is a sudo that protects Your graphical dependencies. | 09:52 |

| aguitel | anyway to install xfce 4.10 in 12.04? | 12:46 |
| laite | Hi, sorry to bother once again but I _really_ would like xubuntu if I only could get HDMI audio to work: problem is that audio+video works through HDMI if 1) TV is on during boot, or 2) I take HDMI cable off and plug it back in immediately | 12:46 |
| laite | but if I boot with TV closed and then just turn it on, only video works - not audio | 12:47 |
| Unit193 | aguitel: Not officially, and not supported, but there is a PPA for it. | 12:47 |
| laite | even aplay -D ... does nothing on HDMI channel | 12:47 |
| laite | is there way to 'virtually re-plug' HDMI cable? | 12:48 |
| aguitel | Unit193, this ppa? ppa:mrpouit/ppa | 12:49 |
| Unit193 | Yep | 12:49 |
| aguitel | Unit193, is xfce 4.10pre | 12:50 |

| grimnik | hi anyone here who is willing to help me out with tar.gz files? | 13:03 |
| grimnik | ./configure doesnt work anyone got some help on that? | 13:04 |
| knome | grimnik, are you trying to build something? | 13:04 |
| grimnik | yes | 13:04 |
| Unit193 | Should have a readme. | 13:05 |
| knome | in that case, start by installing the build-essential package | 13:05 |
| knome | that helps a lot, and usually the config scripts throw verbose errors | 13:05 |
| xubuntu310 | Hi, I need urgent help. Anybody around? | 13:07 |
| knome | !anyone | 13:07 |
| ubottu | A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 13:07 |
| grimnik | knome ... installed build-essentials ./configure still isnt working :s | 13:07 |
| knome | grimnik, then start reading what it outputs | 13:08 |
| xubuntu310 | I suspended my computer with Xubuntu 12.04. It didn't wake up. Not even after rebooting (by pressing the power button). | 13:08 |
| xubuntu310 | It doesn't get to Bios, so I can't even use a livecd. | 13:09 |
| grimnik | bash: ./configure: Files or directory not found ... this is what i find wierd | 13:09 |
| xubuntu310 | It's an Acer Aspire T660-SB7H | 13:10 |
| xubuntu310 | So, is there any way to ensure I get to BIOS, to "reset" it, or something? I don't really know what to do now :( | 13:11 |
| ochosi | xubuntu310: a hardware reset (holding the power-button for ~10sec) should _always_ work (unless it's a hardware problem) | 13:11 |
| aquix | xubuntu310, try pressing shift on boot for grub, or del for bios. Depends on the bios, they uses different keyboard shortcuts. | 13:12 |
| grimnik | knome when i type ./configure it outputs : bash: ./configure: File or Directory does not exist | 13:13 |
| ochosi | grimnik: then you're either in the wrong directory or the build works differently with your tarball | 13:14 |
| knome | grimnik, as Unit193 says, please find a readme file and read it | 13:14 |
| xubuntu310 | ochosi aquix: My BIOS shows a screen, it's not arriving even there. It looks like it tries to read from disk, and get's stuck there. | 13:14 |
| ochosi | xubuntu310: sometimes bios takes long after a hardware reset, can take more than a minute, how long have you waited? | 13:15 |
| aquix | the bios flash screen should say what keys to press to enter bios? | 13:15 |
| grimnik | ochosi, knome im doin what the install readme tells me to do and im in the right directory, it seems my terminal doesnt see ./configure as a vallid command ... | 13:15 |
| xubuntu310 | ochosi: I think more, but I will wait more. Thanks | 13:15 |
| ochosi | xubuntu310: np | 13:16 |
| ochosi | grimnik: what exactly are you trying to build? | 13:16 |
| knome | grimnik, in that case, contact the one who created the package | 13:16 |
| grimnik | knome qjoypad-4.1.0.tar.gz | 13:17 |
| aquix | ochosi, you have extracted the tar.gz to a folder and work from there? | 13:17 |
| aquix | grimnik, sorry ochosi :) | 13:17 |
| ochosi | aquix: np ;) | 13:18 |
| grimnik | aquix yes that step worked fine the files is extracted into /tmp | 13:18 |
| knome | grimnik, i'm reading the readme file, and it's not saying to run ./configure | 13:18 |
| knome | grimnik, would you please try again reading the file? | 13:19 |
| knome | grimnik, section 2.2 "installation" | 13:19 |
| grimnik | knome k indeed it sai | 13:19 |
| ochosi | grimnik: read the INSTALL.txt file, it has detailed build-instructions | 13:19 |
| xubuntu310 | ochosi: It looks like it is a harsware problem. I'm going to try to reset the BIOS by removing the battery. Thank you for the help. | 13:19 |
| ochosi | xubuntu310: hm, that's odd. sorry to hear and good luck | 13:20 |
| grimnik | knome k indeed it says to run ./config ... same deal doesnt do nuts | 13:20 |
| aquix | tmp? don't use that folder, extract it to a new folder in your download folder instead. Best to leave /tmp alone for the system. | 13:20 |
| ochosi | grimnik: are you in the src subdir? | 13:21 |
| ochosi | grimnik: it definitely doesn't do nothing, here it just complains about missing dependencies | 13:21 |
| aquix | xubuntu310, , if your really stuck see if you can find a button for a cmos reset. | 13:21 |
| grimnik | ochosi k that helped me further ... still got some errors but i think i can manage from here thx all :) | 13:22 |
| ochosi | grimnik: yw | 13:23 |
| xubuntu310 | aquix: I found the jumper and did it. It's dead. If suspending is not possible, they should remove the suspending button by default. | 13:28 |
| knome | i don't think any OS can probe for broken hardware, if that is what you mean | 13:30 |
| xubuntu310 | I want to think it was not because of linux. But everything worked fine las months, until I tried to suspend. So it sure looks like it was because of that. | 13:31 |
| xubuntu310 | *last | 13:31 |
| aquix | xubuntu310, but you could get into bios now? | 13:31 |
| aquix | yeah, suspend/hibernate problems pop up from time to time. what you get for being a OS maverick :) | 13:32 |
| xubuntu310 | aquix: No. | 13:32 |
| xubuntu310 | I really like linux, and after the Unity hell Xubuntu looked so nice and worked so flawlesly. I'm using it on my netbook without complaints. | 13:33 |
| xubuntu310 | And I don't really care if I can not suspend. But don't leave the button there, if it doesn't usually work. | 13:34 |
| xubuntu310 | Well, thanks everybody. Leaving now. Bye | 13:34 |
| aquix | take care | 13:34 |
| grimnik | woot got my gamepad working and i can map the keys to keyboard ^^ leaving now thx again to everyone i annoyed xD | 13:39 |
| saitax | hi i have ploblem with automounting from devices. How can i put it off. I have put off in my userprofil and in Storage medias that my system dont automount devices. | 13:49 |
| saitax | What should i do it else? | 13:49 |
| aquix | saitax, you want to mount a hard drive on startup? | 13:53 |
| saitax | no when i plug in a usb storage drive | 13:54 |
| saitax | it will automount | 13:54 |
| saitax | but i dont want that is automount | 13:54 |
| saitax | i want manual mount it | 13:54 |
| aquix | ah | 13:55 |
| xubuntu334 | hi | 13:55 |
| aquix | saitax, and you turned it of in 'Removable drives' in settings? | 13:56 |
| saitax | jep | 13:56 |
| saitax | and in my user profile | 13:57 |
| aquix | user profile? (new to xfce) | 13:58 |
| saitax | in systemsettings/users there you can set off automount medias | 13:59 |
| saitax | this i have done | 13:59 |
| aquix | saitax, sorry. I have no idea. It should work just turning of automount. You don't have any entries for it in /etc/fstab that mounts the drive? | 14:01 |
| saitax | no in fstab i have only my local drives | 14:01 |
| ochosi | saitax: are you talking about usb-drives? | 14:05 |
| saitax | jep | 14:05 |
| aquix | saitax, looks like you can turn it of with dconf-editor http://askubuntu.com/questions/42575/how-to-disable-mounting-of-external-drive-at-boot | 14:06 |
| aquix | thats for ubuntu and gnome3 but I found the options in dconf here on xubuntu 12.04 | 14:06 |
| saitax | aquix ok thanks i will read it and try | 14:07 |
| aquix | np | 14:07 |
| ochosi | saitax: tbh for me changing the setting in thunar's external volume settings always worked | 14:09 |
| saitax | in xubuntu 11.10 it works also for me. | 14:10 |

| aguitel | how install themes in xfce ? | 14:11 |
| ochosi | saitax: still works for me in 12.04 (clean install though) | 14:11 |
| saitax | i have done allthough a clean install | 14:11 |
| ochosi | aguitel: download the tarball from the interwebs, then extract into ~/.themes and then change theme in the appearance-dialog | 14:12 |

| GridCube | theluckymike, the problem apparently is in the kernel level, correct? | 16:23 |
| GridCube | yes, kernel | 16:24 |
| GridCube | then do this, on a terminal write: ubuntubug kernel | 16:24 |
| GridCube | and it will compile information about the kernel and your system and send it to launchpad | 16:25 |
| GridCube | do you have an account on launchpad? | 16:25 |
| theluckymike | i think not | 16:29 |

| _jay | quick question, is there a way to make the window drag points bigger? Resizing them requires surgical precision atm | 19:01 |
| chamPAIN | Just switched to Xubuntu and I have script that needs to read a file from the /tmp folder. It fails, and I can't cat that file. Are there any special properties to the /tmp folder or files therein? | 19:01 |
| _jay | *btw just installed it, seems very nice besides that :) | 19:01 |
| GridCube | !faq | _jay | 19:03 |
| ubottu | _jay: Lists of common questions and answers about Xubuntu can be found at http://xubuntu.org/news/tag/faq/. See also: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions | 19:03 |
| _jay | ok thanks | 19:03 |
| GridCube | _jay, http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ Number 3 | 19:03 |
| chamPAIN | At the tail end of the script is the following error: http://sprunge.us/IKcb. It's because nothing is being passed to dig for the reverse host lookup (option -x). | 19:05 |
| chamPAIN | When catting the filename in the tmp folder no such file error is returned. | 19:06 |
| GridCube | wouldnt know chamPAIN | 19:07 |
| chamPAIN | No problem. Let me know if you've ever had any program run across tmp write issues. I'll try my hand around and see what else I can find. | 19:08 |
| GridCube | chamPAIN, i dont understand your error log | 19:15 |
| GridCube | it says ERROR: cannot reach vps6966 (70.39.148.164) | 19:15 |
| GridCube | can you reach that from your system? | 19:15 |
| chamPAIN | Yes, I'm able to get there. http://sprunge.us/GdJO | 19:16 |
| chamPAIN | Part of the script fails if it can't create the connection and that error is part of the script that lets me know it's not working. | 19:17 |
| GridCube | yes i see that, you should check the "powepanel" that says there in the error log | 19:18 |
| GridCube | :P | 19:18 |
| chamPAIN | Yeah, I see what you mean. There's a lot going on in this script. PowerPanel lets me know that the server is active and operational. I can get into it. Rather this is a tool I use to shorthand the login process. | 19:19 |
| GridCube | :P | 19:19 |
| GridCube | i dont know | 19:19 |
| chamPAIN | Thanks for the effort. I can't expect you to know about this tool. I was wondering if there was any known issues with writing tmp files. I'm still cracking at it. | 19:21 |
| GridCube | chamPAIN, i think that your error is more about a conectivity issue than a writing permission | 19:22 |
| chamPAIN | I'd be tempted to agree with you. Save that this script works with SSH to log in to a server. If I make every step by hand: finding the credentials, the hostname, and logging in, I can get in ok. | 19:23 |
| chamPAIN | What I see is that the initial hostname works ok, then it tries to pass that information to the login part of the script via a temporary file. | 19:23 |
| GridCube | chamPAIN, i know this isnt the "best" solution, and might do more harm that good, but tried running your script with sudo? | 19:24 |
| chamPAIN | Haha, yes! | 19:24 |
| chamPAIN | Figured that would blow away any permissions issues, like you did. But it didn't work. | 19:25 |
| GridCube | then again, i think its a conectivity issue, not a permission one | 19:25 |
| chamPAIN | I can see how that makes sense. Until I can rule it out completely I'll keep it in mind. | 19:26 |
| chamPAIN | Script relied on traceroute. | 19:30 |
| chamPAIN | It wasn't installed. | 19:30 |
| chamPAIN | LOL | 19:30 |
| chamPAIN | Fixed. | 19:30 |
| GridCube | :P | 19:30 |
| GridCube | told you :3 | 19:30 |
| chamPAIN | You were right! Thanks. Have a hilarious picture: http://i.imgur.com/ZKnlQ.jpg | 19:31 |
| peterk1664 | can anyone help me with installling xubutu 12.04, i kepp getting and error msg halfway through the install | 19:42 |
| GridCube | peterk1664, what error? | 19:45 |
| peterk1664 | it says that to contue the installation i must run from cd and investigate from there | 19:46 |
| GridCube | peterk1664, are you connected from the installer now? | 19:47 |
| GridCube | can you share a screenshot of your error? | 19:47 |
| GridCube | !imagebin | 19:47 |
| ubottu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 19:47 |
| peterk1664 | no im not on it at the moment, ill get the details and come back | 19:48 |
| ochosi | peterk1664: a potential problem is an invalid download, you could check the md5 sum of your download or if you burnt a cd, you could check whether there was a problem with that | 19:51 |
| peterk1664 | iv downloaded and burnt a couple of times but with the same result | 19:53 |
| ochosi | right | 19:54 |

| GeminiDomino | I just did a clean install of xubuntu 12.04 desktop, and it won't let me login to the gui. I know the user/pass is right because if I switch out to the CLI, I can login to the shell. When I login to the gui, though, the screen goes black for a second, then reloads to the login screen | 23:48 |
| GridCube | :( yes i know that | 23:48 |
| GridCube | the only way i know of fixing that is replacing lightdm with gdm | 23:49 |
| AxD09 | Did you change the lightdm.conf? | 23:49 |
| GeminiDomino | AxD09: Me? No, I haven't touched it. It's literally the first boot after install | 23:49 |
| AxD09 | ah, was just a thought. If the config has invalid lines in does the same to me. | 23:50 |
| GridCube | GeminiDomino, as said, i've seen this before, as said, the only workaround i know, its to replace lightdm with gdm | 23:50 |
| GeminiDomino | GridCube: I believe you. I just have to figure out how to set up my wireless card without GUI access in order to get GDM | 23:50 |
| GridCube | oh | 23:51 |
| AxD09 | shouldn't be hard if the card is recognized | 23:51 |
| GridCube | GeminiDomino, from a tty launch sudo startx -- :2 | 23:51 |
| GeminiDomino | I'll try that | 23:52 |
| GridCube | it should launch you a xterm session and you should be able to launch nm-connection-editor | 23:53 |
| GeminiDomino | AxD09: Dunno if it is or not. It's a broadcom, which has been historically a PITA | 23:53 |
| GridCube | even more GeminiDomino if you had network while installing it should be working, hopefully | 23:53 |
| AxD09 | iwconfig should list recognized cards | 23:54 |
| GridCube | GeminiDomino, you could, you know cable it for a while :P | 23:55 |
| GeminiDomino | yeah, it's working. So I should just have to "apt-get install gdm" and remove lightdm? | 23:55 |
| GeminiDomino | damn. Getting the GDM login now, but the same result | 23:56 |
| GridCube | i would first: sudo service lightdm stop | 23:57 |
| GridCube | then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge lightdm && sudo apt-get install gdm | 23:57 |
| GeminiDomino | nope, no dice... dammit all | 23:59 |
| AxD09 | doesn't sound like the problem is the login manager | 23:59 |
