[00:00] 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? [00:01] !purexfce [00:01] 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] You just removed a metapackage, won't do anything. [00:06] 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. [00:32] so the xubuntu installer crashed because my hard drive wasn't partitioned [00:32] Right, if you're sure you want to try and use Xubuntu on that hardware, try the !alternate installer. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:16] I've lost my battery meter. Is this a fairly common occurrance? === xwalk is now known as xwalk_ [04:35] hey guys any one out there i need some help ? [04:36] xubuntu690: just ask [04:37] hmm [04:37] a ok [05:15] 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] Seems to be accessing my hard drive a lot. Could it be that I made the swap file too big? [05:15] Or maybe the hard drive is just a slow one? [05:43] LiquidEdge: i would choose the second thought [05:44] but you can check how much swap space is used [05:44] How do check? [05:47] LiquidEdge: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#Why_is_my_swap_not_being_used.3F === `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [06:36] hello! whatever theme I choose the window title always has the same color. how can I fix it? [06:39] m123: change window manager theme in window manager settings [06:40] Sysi: oh, thanks! I looked at window manager tweaks not window manager settings and was very surprised I couldn't find it :-) [06:42] right click at desktop === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [08:37] hi, i first installed 12.04 beta but now not sure the upgrade has been done... how can i check that on my system ? thanks ! [08:38] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and you don't need to "check", you'll have it. [08:39] or find something related to updates in menu [08:41] ok thanks! actually i already used the graphhical updater ... but wanted to be sure: it seems that the "development branch" tag has disapeared ... right ? [08:44] 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"? [08:46] (since it's not actually a click, even if the system recognizes it as such) [08:46] cousteau: window manager tweaks/settings -> "raise/activate windows with all mouse buttons" [08:47] which tab [08:47] (anbd where did my "?" go?) [08:48] oh wait, I was in "window manager", not in "window manager settings" [08:50] ...so, what tab? [08:50] I'm not gonna make a video about this [08:51] found it :) [08:51] (because I'm not on xfce and I can't right now) [08:51] damn, it was just "tell me which of all the tabs"... also, it's harder to find if my locale is different :( [08:51] Sysi, oh ok :/ [08:51] the settings manager needs tooltips [08:52] well, gotta go, thanks [08:53] I think people should use gnome3/shell/unity if they can't bother browsing trough settings and trying different things :/ [08:53] it took whole day with kde [09:22] hi all [09:23] Hi [09:23] hey Azhoral, brunotevesmedeir [09:23] There someone who can help me [09:24] !someone [09:24] 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. [09:25] Oh, sorry! Its my first time here [09:25] 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] before upgrade all worked good.. [09:27] 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 [09:28] Is there a way to recover it without reinstalling Xubuntu? [09:30] Please people, i need help with this! [09:34] Azhoral: what video card model, what driver? [09:34] brunotevesmedeir: what did you *do*? [09:34] i tested with more monitor.. i got same problem... video card is intel embedded [09:34] Changed the lightdm.conf file [09:34] sec for model [09:36] Azhoral: if you run xrandr in terminal, what's biggest resolution it suggests? [09:36] 1024x768 [09:36] but monitor is syncmaster 2032bw (wide) [09:37] and with previous xubu 10.XX got more then 1680x1050 [09:37] brunotevesmedeir: Ctrl Alt F6 should give you console login, you can change that file back in there [09:38] Azhoral: do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? [09:38] if i use cvt 1280 1024 he give me many parameter [09:38] no after upgrade.. upgrade cancelled [09:39] the upgrade to 12.04 change my xubu [09:39] Ok, thank you Sysi! Gonna try it [09:39] with ddcprobe i got all resolution [09:39] 1280x1024x256 [09:39] 64k and 16m [09:40] intel 82945g chipset of intel [09:40] i tested with 2 monitor (samsung 2032bw and hp w2448hc ) and i got same problem [09:40] before upgrade all was good [09:41] i upgraded cause i needed boost 1.48 dev [09:41] for develop [10:00] hello all [10:06] hmm, upgraded to 12.04, now I can't open a .xlsx file... new MS Excel file format. Any ideas? [10:07] i don't know if gnumeric supports that, might want to try libreoffice calc if it's really important [10:07] http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/install-xfce-410-in-xubuntu-1204.html [10:08] 4.10 ppa [10:08] tried both [10:08] damn MS [10:13] magnus, yeah. the other solution is to wait until someone reverse-engineers the new format... [10:14] knome: just found out the file was actually corrupt! [10:14] magnus, or just get somebody with the new excel open it for you and convert to an older format [10:14] aha:) [10:14] re-downloaded, and it worked :) [10:14] damn MS still! ;) [10:14] oh yea ;) [10:14] why they have to go and screw things up.... but I guess thats just the MS way === TrackerDPP_ is now known as TrackerDPP [11:54] hi, i have a fresh install of xubuntu 12.04, how can i remove the blue icon with exclamation mark on it? Or just hide it? I would also like to hide the bluetooth icon and messaging icon :) [11:54] pls, thx :) [12:49] is ppa xfce 4.10 running fine in 12.04 ? [12:50] from my xp yes [12:50] but there's no support for it [12:51] so if you bork your system, you're on your own (from our -dev point of view) [12:51] what is xp ? [12:55] experience? [12:59] how restore original place frm icons in panel ? [13:15] how Restore default settings in xfce ? [13:16] what settings? [13:17] baizon, panel and icons [13:17] aguitel: create a new panel :) [13:18] no,restore panel and icons [13:18] aguitel: or use this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1286739 [13:19] ok thanks [13:20] np [13:29] hi, i have a fresh install of xubuntu 12.04, how can i remove the blue icon with exclamation mark on it? Or just hide it? I would also like to hide the bluetooth icon and messaging icon :) Thank you [13:31] 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. [13:38] AndreeeCZ_: maybe the best way is to uninstall the indicators, if you don't wanna use them (e.g. indicator-messages) [13:39] ochosi: i want to use them, but i would like to hide them like the battery icon :) [13:43] 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] for now there's no way to hide indicators [13:49] when installing i keep getting the error: the installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno5] [13:50] same error when installing from usb and cd [13:50] i've tried burning on cd at lower speed no difference [13:50] could iso i downloaded be corrupted perhaps? [13:50] have you checked the md5 checksum? [13:51] no. do i download it separately? if so where from? (i'm a novice to linux/ubuntu) [13:52] there should be an md5 file at the same place you downloaded your Xubuntu installer. [13:52] for example, here: [13:52] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/12.04/release/ [13:53] md5 sums for the 12.04 images are here: [13:53] http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/12.04/release/MD5SUMS [13:54] to check your image, in a terminal, run: [13:54] md5sum /path/to/xubuntu-12.04*.iso [13:55] 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] thanks a lot babble. so for that command to work the md5 sum should be in same directory as iso? [13:56] no, you can do it from anywhere - it will print a checksum number in your terminal [13:56] 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] for example, if your downloaded image is in your downloads directory, your path would be: [13:57] /home/$USERNAME/Downloads/xubuntu-12.04... (i386, amd64, etc.) [13:58] ok so i just compare the cheksum number it prints with the appropriate checksum in the directory you mentioned above [13:58] yes. [13:58] thanks again for the help. [13:58] which image are you trying to use? (64-bit or 32-bit?) [14:17] Hi all. In GNOME2 I can hit Alt+k+PrintScreen ... how can I do this in Xfce? [14:18] which screenshot does alt-k give you? [14:18] Belserusk: Thats a kernel feature, so you can do it anywhere. [14:18] !sysreq [14:18] Its one of the magic sysrq keys. [14:18] !sysrq [14:18] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [14:19] well, not those listed. [14:19] heh [14:19] ahhh. [14:19] Thank you Pici. [14:19] the stuff I avoid just switching to a console and rebooting ;) [14:25] * drc yawns, grabs a cuppa and nods respectfully to the awesomeness assembled here.

[14:51] holstein, i just installed, i think i may have screwed up on my partitions. [14:52] brb ima boot into live cd [15:12] hey all, i'm running xinerama on 2 monitors and if my mouse speed is fast when switching screens (right to left), the mouse is placed all the way to the left of the left screen, but if i go slow, it will act "normally" [16:02] Hello.

[16:24] does ping work this way in a terminal? ping http://for-no-reason.net [16:25] ping for-no-reason.net [16:28] hello everyone. [16:30] work yes [16:32] hello [16:35] how works upgrade from ppa to xfce 4.10 ? [16:36] !addppa | aguitel [16:36] aguitel: Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details [16:36] i have a 2GB RAM laptop, and every time I play a 5GB mkv movie the laptop slows down a lot, is it because of the 2GB RAM? [16:37] bazhang, yes i know, but my question is for if it is running fine this upgrade [16:37] framerate decreases, pixelate decreses quality, image freezes [16:37] but sounds keeps playing [16:38] aguitel, its a PPA, it's unsupported and at your own risk [16:38] bazhang, no more words ? [16:38] aguitel, about what? [16:39] bazhang, stability [16:39] bugs [16:39] something else [16:39] aguitel, PPA and stable are not things I think of together [16:39] aguitel, it may be, or not. no telling [16:39] bazhang, you make the upgrade ? [16:40] aguitel, I avoid all PPA , save one [16:40] ok [16:40] and that one is the developers themselves recommend [16:42] what that means [16:42] handbrake PPA [16:56] Ubuntu 10.04 is unable to detect RAID hard disk on Dell R620 [16:56] Any idea how can it be detected? [17:04] linuxfreaker: i would try 12.04 live [17:05] i would confirm the hardware is "working" with some live CD as well [17:05] holstein: I need to install 10.04 on R620 [17:05] holstein: I explored LSI website and have got the driver [17:05] holstein: But dont know how to load the driver (.tar.gz) during the instalation [17:06] linuxfreaker: is it a linux driver? [17:06] holstein: yes [17:06] holstein: http://www.lsi.com/channel/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9240-4i.aspx [17:06] usually drivers like that are just in place, which is why i would like to see the hardware confirmed functional before installing drivers that are already there [17:07] holstein: http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/MegaRAID%20Common%20Files/Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_05.30.zip [17:07] holstein: this is the one [17:08] holstein: Last time I compiled one for FreeBSD and it did worked [17:08] holstein: Some suggested pressing F6 but I dont see any relevant option [17:09] linuxfreaker: i would confirm the hardware is working... then there should be directions with that package, or maybe the package maintainer could help you [17:09] typically, those drivers are just in the kernel. [17:10] holstein: If its there,,it shud have detected the RAID hard disk [17:10] holstein: but it is not there [17:11] holstein: Can u help me with loading this driver during installtion? [17:11] linuxfreaker: sure.. assumig the hard ware is functioning properly [17:11] linuxfreaker: you could share the readme, and i'll give it a look [17:11] holstein: ok [17:12] holstein: http://www.lsi.com/downloads/Public/MegaRAID%20Common%20Files/README_FOR_Ubuntu_10.04_LTS_05.30.zip.txt [17:13] linuxfreaker: how did 12.04 do? [17:13] holstein: I have not tested 12.04 [17:14] holstein: so dont have idea [17:15] linuxfreaker: i would/did suggest trying 12.04 [17:16] holstein: I am concerned about 10.04 [17:16] anyone know how to get app-global menu to work in 12.04? [17:17] syk: compile it by yourself [17:17] i did it and it works [17:17] :\ [17:17] mind telling me where to start? never really did it [17:18] linuxfreaker: whats your concern? [17:18] syk: i can give you my package if you want [17:18] but no guarantee [17:19] ok [17:19] syk: you got x64? [17:19] yes [17:20] good === zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [18:59] Has anyone had luck getting their play/pause key on the keyboard to control Spotify? Spotify integrates with the sound menu well and has D-Bus now so it should be do able [19:06] Haven't looked into it at all, but now that you mention it, I guess I should. It works well on my Mac. [19:54] salut [19:54] j'ai un souci, quelqu'un parle français??? [20:01] pose ta question a place de dire que ta un probleme :) [20:02] hello [20:03] is there a mixer control applet for the panel? I've had a look, and I can only find one for pulse [20:04] there is a volume icon in the indicator applet [20:05] aquix: yeah, but it only works with pulseaudio [20:05] I want to get rid of that, and pulse [20:06] oh, don't know, I use a dock [20:15] 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? [20:21] where did the pulseaudio applet go? has it been renamed in precise? [20:22] nope [20:22] anyone on xfce 4.10 that has xfce4-appmenu-plugin working? [20:22] if you lost your sound control is because you closed the plugin indicator from the panel [20:22] it restart for network but not for sound === apache is now known as apachex [20:23] 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 [20:25] 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. === syk_ is now known as syk [20:25] pimperle, add a new plugin indicator [20:25] :/ [20:26] what is a plugin indicator? [20:26] a normal applet you add to the status area where other notification applets reside? [20:27] right click > panel > add new element > search for plugin indicator, add it [20:27] its the place where all the 'buntu related indicators reside [20:27] like, networking, sound, mailing [20:27] yes, i have that area visible [20:27] but inside the sound applet is missing [20:27] yes [20:28] you need to add a new one [20:28] ah, i see [20:28] because it fails to restart the sound part [20:28] it happens because you mistakenly once, closed your plugin indicator without noticing it [20:29] ok, now its back. thanks a lot [20:29] sorry for not getting what you meant [20:30] :) not a problem [20:30] i have to bug report that [20:38] hi, the option of print in gnupaint doesnt work witn xubuntu 12.04 lts, there is some software similar without gnome libs and with option of print? [20:39] not that i know of [20:42] can I use thunderbird with skydrive? [20:45] gnupaint is supported for gnu yet ?

[20:49] aquix, i agree, but its based on mono and deosnt have printing capabilities [20:49] its listed as gpaint instead of gnu paint [20:49] hebas I have it installed here [20:50] !info gpaint [20:50] gpaint (source: gpaint): GNU Paint - a small, easy to use paint program for GNOME.

[20:55] no [20:55] it has not [20:55] my gpaint do [20:55] i just installed it [20:57] but it prints lots of noise [20:57] hebas don't think so, or not yet anyway. [21:04] Hey crew [21:04] I keep coming back to my computer and it has rebooted. [21:04] sup [21:05] Any idea of how I might be able to see what's up? [21:05] mmhm [21:06] you could check your /var/log/syslog [21:06] and see if theres any warning there [21:08] 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] Nothing there of interest. [21:10] xubuntu564: What's the full command you're using? [21:11] chmod 777 file or chmod u+x file - nothing does it [21:12] xubuntu564, what format does the usb has? [21:12] if its not ext then you cant change it [21:13] good question - guess you mean the type, like NTFS or so? [21:14] yes [21:19] 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] Is fuseblk a format (is in /etc/mtab for it) [21:19] xubuntu564, sudo fdisk -l [21:20] or gparted should tell you [21:21] thx, it is HPFS/NTFS [21:21] so what can I do? [21:21] :P then there you have it [21:22] xubuntu564, weeeel [21:22] you can reformat it to ext3 [21:22] not a good option, any alternative? [21:24] not that i know off [21:24] you are trying to do *nix stuff on a MS format [21:25] 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 [21:27] 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 [21:28] xubuntu564, but you can install it to the live session [21:28] ??? [21:30] you can install it to run as the rest of the live session works [21:30] from ram [21:30] simply sudo apt-get install testdisk [21:32] 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] need to reboot [21:32] you need network accsess [21:34] ok, thanks a lot GridCube, think I have to try that tomorrow then [21:34] :) [21:54] Under SEH Team [22:05] A Xubuntu success story: http://www.facebook.com/arthur.h.johnson/posts/3454914604934 [22:05] That's TWO I owe Xubuntu!
