| craigbass1976 | I apt-get removed kubunt-desktop and lubuntu-desktop, but I still see the lubuntu splash screen during boot, and the login screen is from kde. Meh? How to I get rid of Unity while I'm at it? | 00:00 |

| Unit193 | !purexfce | 00:01 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 00:01 |
| Unit193 | You just removed a metapackage, won't do anything. | 00:01 |
| AyaneForever | Honestly if you want pure xfce you should just do debian with xfce on top, you're going to be left with dependencies if you're on xubuntu. | 00:06 |
| uglyoldbob | so the xubuntu installer crashed because my hard drive wasn't partitioned | 00:32 |
| Unit193 | Right, if you're sure you want to try and use Xubuntu on that hardware, try the !alternate installer. | 00:32 |

| LiquidEdge | So, things are moving really, really slow on a fresh install on a computer that is faster than the other one I have running xubuntu. | 05:15 |
| LiquidEdge | Seems to be accessing my hard drive a lot. Could it be that I made the swap file too big? | 05:15 |
| LiquidEdge | Or maybe the hard drive is just a slow one? | 05:15 |

| Unit193 | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and you don't need to "check", you'll have it. | 08:38 |
| Sysi | or find something related to updates in menu | 08:39 |

| cousteau | Clicking on a window gives focus to it. Scrolling on a window ("button" 4/5) also gives focus to it. Would it be possible NOT to give focus on a window when clicking with these "buttons"? | 08:44 |
| cousteau | (since it's not actually a click, even if the system recognizes it as such) | 08:46 |
| Sysi | cousteau: window manager tweaks/settings -> "raise/activate windows with all mouse buttons" | 08:46 |
| cousteau | which tab | 08:47 |
| cousteau | (anbd where did my "?" go?) | 08:47 |
| cousteau | oh wait, I was in "window manager", not in "window manager settings" | 08:48 |
| cousteau | ...so, what tab? | 08:50 |
| Sysi | I'm not gonna make a video about this | 08:50 |
| cousteau | found it :) | 08:51 |
| Sysi | (because I'm not on xfce and I can't right now) | 08:51 |
| cousteau | damn, it was just "tell me which of all the tabs"... also, it's harder to find if my locale is different :( | 08:51 |
| cousteau | Sysi, oh ok :/ | 08:51 |
| cousteau | the settings manager needs tooltips | 08:51 |
| cousteau | well, gotta go, thanks | 08:52 |

| knome | !someone | 09:24 |
| 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. | 09:24 |
| brunotevesmedeir | Oh, sorry! Its my first time here | 09:25 |
| Azhoral | I have problem with "monitor" resolution" after upgrade my dist to 12.04. Videocard and 3d seems correct but monitor recognize only 1024x768 (no more) | 09:25 |
| Azhoral | before upgrade all worked good.. | 09:25 |
| brunotevesmedeir | I screwed up my login settings... on Xubuntu 12.04, was trying to get auto login but instead i get noting now! I cant enter anything now | 09:27 |
| brunotevesmedeir | Is there a way to recover it without reinstalling Xubuntu? | 09:28 |
| brunotevesmedeir | Please people, i need help with this! | 09:30 |
| Sysi | Azhoral: what video card model, what driver? | 09:34 |
| Sysi | brunotevesmedeir: what did you *do*? | 09:34 |
| Azhoral | i tested with more monitor.. i got same problem... video card is intel embedded | 09:34 |
| brunotevesmedeir | Changed the lightdm.conf file | 09:34 |
| Azhoral | sec for model | 09:34 |
| Sysi | Azhoral: if you run xrandr in terminal, what's biggest resolution it suggests? | 09:36 |
| Azhoral | 1024x768 | 09:36 |
| Azhoral | but monitor is syncmaster 2032bw (wide) | 09:36 |
| Azhoral | and with previous xubu 10.XX got more then 1680x1050 | 09:37 |
| Sysi | brunotevesmedeir: Ctrl Alt F6 should give you console login, you can change that file back in there | 09:37 |
| Sysi | Azhoral: do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 09:38 |
| Azhoral | if i use cvt 1280 1024 he give me many parameter | 09:38 |
| Azhoral | no after upgrade.. upgrade cancelled | 09:38 |
| Azhoral | the upgrade to 12.04 change my xubu | 09:39 |
| brunotevesmedeir | Ok, thank you Sysi! Gonna try it | 09:39 |
| Azhoral | with ddcprobe i got all resolution | 09:39 |
| Azhoral | 1280x1024x256 | 09:39 |
| Azhoral | 64k and 16m | 09:39 |
| Azhoral | intel 82945g chipset of intel | 09:40 |
| Azhoral | i tested with 2 monitor (samsung 2032bw and hp w2448hc ) and i got same problem | 09:40 |

| magnus | tried both | 10:08 |
| magnus | damn MS | 10:08 |
| knome | magnus, yeah. the other solution is to wait until someone reverse-engineers the new format... | 10:13 |
| magnus | knome: just found out the file was actually corrupt! | 10:14 |
| knome | magnus, or just get somebody with the new excel open it for you and convert to an older format | 10:14 |

| aquix | blue icon with exclamation mark means the the icon links to nothing I think. Just right click and remove it, and make new shortcuts for what you need. | 13:31 |
| ochosi | AndreeeCZ_: maybe the best way is to uninstall the indicators, if you don't wanna use them (e.g. indicator-messages) | 13:38 |
| AndreeeCZ_ | ochosi: i want to use them, but i would like to hide them like the battery icon :) | 13:39 |
| ochosi | AndreeeCZ_: that's not really possible, the battery icon is a systray-icon (so it's in the notification plugin), whereas the ones you mention are indicators, which are in the indicator-plugin | 13:43 |
| ochosi | for now there's no way to hide indicators | 13:43 |
| xubuntu393 | when installing i keep getting the error: the installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno5] | 13:49 |
| xubuntu393 | same error when installing from usb and cd | 13:50 |
| xubuntu393 | i've tried burning on cd at lower speed no difference | 13:50 |
| xubuntu393 | could iso i downloaded be corrupted perhaps? | 13:50 |
| babble | have you checked the md5 checksum? | 13:50 |
| xubuntu393 | no. do i download it separately? if so where from? (i'm a novice to linux/ubuntu) | 13:51 |
| babble | there should be an md5 file at the same place you downloaded your Xubuntu installer. | 13:52 |
| babble | for example, here: | 13:52 |
| babble | http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/12.04/release/ | 13:52 |
| babble | md5 sums for the 12.04 images are here: | 13:53 |
| babble | http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/12.04/release/MD5SUMS | 13:53 |
| babble | to check your image, in a terminal, run: | 13:54 |
| babble | md5sum /path/to/xubuntu-12.04*.iso | 13:54 |
| babble | that will give you a hash you can compare against the posted md5 sums. if yours doesn't match, your image is bad | 13:55 |
| xubuntu393 | thanks a lot babble. so for that command to work the md5 sum should be in same directory as iso? | 13:55 |
| babble | no, you can do it from anywhere - it will print a checksum number in your terminal | 13:56 |
| babble | but if you're not *starting* your terminal in the same directory as your image, you'll need to specify a path to it | 13:56 |
| babble | for example, if your downloaded image is in your downloads directory, your path would be: | 13:56 |
| babble | /home/$USERNAME/Downloads/xubuntu-12.04... (i386, amd64, etc.) | 13:57 |
| xubuntu393 | ok so i just compare the cheksum number it prints with the appropriate checksum in the directory you mentioned above | 13:58 |
| babble | yes. | 13:58 |
| xubuntu393 | thanks again for the help. | 13:58 |
| babble | which image are you trying to use? (64-bit or 32-bit?) | 13:58 |
| Belserusk | Hi all. In GNOME2 I can hit Alt+k+PrintScreen ... how can I do this in Xfce? | 14:17 |

| Pici | Belserusk: Thats a kernel feature, so you can do it anywhere. | 14:18 |
| Pici | !sysreq | 14:18 |

| aquix | there is a volume icon in the indicator applet | 20:04 |
| gordonjcp | aquix: yeah, but it only works with pulseaudio | 20:05 |

| xubuntu564 | Running latest xubuntu I can not chmod any file in an additonally mounted USB HDD though it is writable and I have copied a file to it already. What can be the cause? | 20:15 |

| GridCube | nope | 20:22 |
| syk | anyone on xfce 4.10 that has xfce4-appmenu-plugin working? | 20:22 |
| GridCube | if you lost your sound control is because you closed the plugin indicator from the panel | 20:22 |
| GridCube | it restart for network but not for sound | 20:22 |
| === apache is now known as apachex | ||
| GridCube | thus you need to add a new plugin indicator to the panel and then delete the other, else the plugin indicator would simply restart without sound applet | 20:23 |
| pimperle | i'm sure i did not close it. i readded the volume control applet, but it's not the pulse version in which i could launch pavucontrol from the context menu. instead it looks like the xfce volume meter. | 20:25 |

| GridCube | right click > panel > add new element > search for plugin indicator, add it | 20:27 |
| GridCube | its the place where all the 'buntu related indicators reside | 20:27 |
| GridCube | like, networking, sound, mailing | 20:27 |
| pimperle | yes, i have that area visible | 20:27 |
| pimperle | but inside the sound applet is missing | 20:27 |
| GridCube | yes | 20:27 |
| GridCube | you need to add a new one | 20:28 |
| pimperle | ah, i see | 20:28 |
| GridCube | because it fails to restart the sound part | 20:28 |
| GridCube | it happens because you mistakenly once, closed your plugin indicator without noticing it | 20:28 |

| xubuntu564 | Hi folks, running latest xubuntu from CD I can not chmod any file in an additonally mounted USB HDD though it is writable and I have copied a file to it already. What can be the cause? Any help appreciated | 21:08 |
| LiquidEdge | Nothing there of interest. | 21:08 |
| LiquidEdge | xubuntu564: What's the full command you're using? | 21:10 |
| xubuntu564 | chmod 777 file or chmod u+x file - nothing does it | 21:11 |
| GridCube | xubuntu564, what format does the usb has? | 21:12 |
| GridCube | if its not ext then you cant change it | 21:12 |
| xubuntu564 | good question - guess you mean the type, like NTFS or so? | 21:13 |
| GridCube | yes | 21:14 |
| xubuntu564 | how do I check it, it is not visible in the properties of the file browser and I dont know a proper command for that? | 21:19 |
| xubuntu564 | Is fuseblk a format (is in /etc/mtab for it) | 21:19 |
| GridCube | xubuntu564, sudo fdisk -l | 21:19 |
| GridCube | or gparted should tell you | 21:20 |
| xubuntu564 | thx, it is HPFS/NTFS | 21:21 |
| xubuntu564 | so what can I do? | 21:21 |
| GridCube | :P then there you have it | 21:21 |
| GridCube | xubuntu564, weeeel | 21:22 |
| GridCube | you can reformat it to ext3 | 21:22 |
| xubuntu564 | not a good option, any alternative? | 21:22 |
| GridCube | not that i know off | 21:24 |
| GridCube | you are trying to do *nix stuff on a MS format | 21:24 |
| xubuntu564 | yep, the damn PC where I run xubuntu is an MS PC with an encryting Trojan on it, I try to save some of the stuff on the C partition | 21:25 |
| xubuntu564 | so I wanted to run XU with photorec as recovery but the damn tool is rw only allthough it is rwx when I connect the HDD to my ubuntu PC | 21:27 |
| GridCube | xubuntu564, but you can install it to the live session | 21:28 |
| xubuntu564 | ??? | 21:28 |
| GridCube | you can install it to run as the rest of the live session works | 21:30 |
| GridCube | from ram | 21:30 |
| GridCube | simply sudo apt-get install testdisk | 21:30 |
| xubuntu564 | GridCube, is it on the std xubunto dist or do I need web access to download it then - Would try but the PC shows black eagle on black background :-/ | 21:32 |
| xubuntu564 | need to reboot | 21:32 |
| GridCube | you need network accsess | 21:32 |
| xubuntu564 | ok, thanks a lot GridCube, think I have to try that tomorrow then | 21:34 |
