| sadcasd | hello | 00:41 |
| sadcasd | what should i uninstall after installing xfce, if i just want to use it? | 00:41 |
| sadcasd | i seem to remember it being a problem of having two window managers | 00:42 |
| Unit193 | Well, you can uninstall whatever you don't think you need using either synaptic or the apt-get command. | 00:49 |
| malv1 | Xubuntu 12.04 has a weird click-drag bug | 02:25 |
| malv1 | has anyone experienced this annoying quirk? | 02:25 |
| Unit193 | Where if we were to click and drag it bugs us? Don't think so. | 02:28 |
| Unit193 | !details | 02:28 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:28 |
| malv1 | when I left click a window it enters drag mode and moves the window to the corner of the screen | 02:30 |
| malv1 | it happens on two different machines running 12.04 | 02:30 |
| malv1 | awful bug =( | 02:32 |
| Unit193 | I do not have that, but I can click the top of the window and drag to move, but that's expected. | 02:33 |
| malv1 | it's strange, it enters drag and then teleports the window to the bottom right corner of the screen | 02:34 |
| malv1 | happens after I switch window focus | 02:34 |

| xubuntu858 | I have to adjust my audio mixer settings every login. How do I make it permanent? | 03:00 |
| GridCube | it should be permanent | 03:00 |
| GridCube | try adjusting pavucontrol | 03:00 |
| xubuntu858 | how do I get to pavucontrol? | 03:01 |
| xubuntu858 | never heard of it. | 03:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu858: i would go to the package manager of your choice and search :) | 03:03 |
| xubuntu858 | I got it up with the run command | 03:03 |
| GridCube | xubuntu858, it should be preinstalled | 03:04 |
| xubuntu858 | what about the alsa mixer in the panel? | 03:04 |
| xubuntu858 | do I delete that? | 03:04 |
| GridCube | what xubuntu are you using ? | 03:04 |
| xubuntu858 | Is there a panel icon for pavucontrol? | 03:04 |
| xubuntu858 | 12.04 | 03:05 |
| GridCube | if its 12.04 then you have pavucontrol at the plugin indicator sound applet | 03:05 |
| xubuntu858 | do I have to add to panel? | 03:05 |
| GridCube | no. it should be there | 03:06 |
| GridCube | the sound icon | 03:06 |
| GridCube | next to the network and mailing icons | 03:06 |
| GridCube | its the one that lets you control the media player | 03:06 |
| xubuntu858 | It's set for alsa mixer in properties | 03:08 |
| xubuntu858 | should I set it for pulse? | 03:08 |
| GridCube | yep | 03:09 |
| xubuntu858 | I'll try it that way and see if it stays at the same level after a reboot. | 03:10 |
| xubuntu858 | Thanks. | 03:11 |
| craigbass1976 | So I had xfce prior to today, but it was on a regular ubuntu (12.04) install that I'd put xubuntu-desktop on top of. After trying out other desktops, I wanted to get rid of them, but couldn't quite. I had a lubuntu splash screen during boot, a kubuntu login screen, and I saw Unity wallpaper for a second with my xfce top and bottom panels until it finished booting. | 03:24 |
| craigbass1976 | After a fresh xubuntu install, things are quite a bit more coherent. I've also noticed that the laptop remembers my last sessions's screen brightness setting (lowest possible) and shuttign the lid puts the laptop to sleep. Once awake, I can see everything. Is there some bug with the the regular ubuntu dm? | 03:25 |
| x__ | Hello - i need a VNC client. Can someone recommend one ? | 05:48 |
| x__ | i have xUbuntu 12.4 | 05:49 |
| Unit193 | x11vnc works well enough, but... | 05:50 |
| Unit193 | !vnc | 05:50 |
| ubottu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 05:50 |
| x__ | Thank you - i will check your links | 05:51 |
| Sysi | I'd say remmina or vinagre for a client | 05:59 |

| xubuntu700 | how do I get xubuntu on my other computer, I burned it on a disk, it didn't work, is there something I'm doing wrong? | 07:11 |
| ochosi | xubuntu700: probably a broken image? | 07:12 |
| ochosi | but really, you should tell us more about your problem "it didn't work" isn't very descriptive | 07:12 |
| xubuntu700 | well, after it downloaded, I just burned it straight to the disc | 07:13 |
| Marzata | xubuntu700: and? | 07:13 |
| xubuntu700 | put it into my laptop and it booted up windows XP | 07:14 |
| xubuntu700 | the disk did not do anything | 07:15 |
| xubuntu700 | is anyone there? | 07:16 |
| Marzata | xubuntu700: can you try it on another computer? | 07:16 |
| Marzata | xubuntu700: or download it from another source and burn it again | 07:16 |
| baizon | xubuntu700: did you set the bootoptions to boot from cd first ? | 07:17 |
| laite | xubuntu700: have you enabled booting from CD from BIOS? | 07:17 |
| xubuntu700 | well, the file shows up as one whole file on the disc | 07:17 |
| xubuntu700 | how do I do that? | 07:17 |
| baizon | xubuntu700: so you burn the img not the files inside the img | 07:17 |
| xubuntu700 | how? I'm confused. | 07:17 |
| Marzata | xubuntu700: burn as image not copied the files | 07:18 |
| baizon | what os? | 07:18 |
| laite | xubuntu700: when booting your computer, there usually is something like 'press del for setup' in first screen.. it might be F2, Del or something else | 07:18 |
| xubuntu700 | well, the computer being used to download+burn to disc is windows 7 | 07:18 |
| baizon | laite: he burned the img not the files inside the img | 07:18 |

| xubuntu700 | how do the linux OS companies make profit? they've got to have an income from somewhere! | 07:25 |
| ochosi | xubuntu700: if you refer to xubuntu, it's not a company, it's entirely community-driven (volunteers) | 07:26 |
| ochosi | xubuntu700: if you refer to canonical (the company that mostly creates ubuntu), they make revenue from support contracts with companies etc. | 07:27 |
| xubuntu700 | like google? | 07:27 |
| xubuntu700 | or what company? | 07:27 |

| cousteau | although memory doesn't change that much; I'll just use bars for that | 08:02 |
| === _df is now known as df | ||
| cousteau | other than not being able to right-click the applet, it seems to work nicely :D | 08:04 |
| Sysi | yeah, you need to use panel preferences -> items -> cpugraph -> preferences | 08:07 |
| SandJ | It's been over a year since I switched, but I can't stop thinking of the Update Manager as "the Windows Update". When the Update Manager pops up, do you also think "I need to run the Windows Update"? | 08:13 |
| cousteau | no, I think "wow, new free stuff" | 08:14 |
| Sysi | I think "why doesn't that popup disappear like other popups" | 08:18 |
| linuxfreaker | How can one use tar command to unzip the .zip format file | 08:18 |
| Sysi | tar doesn't do zip, use unzip | 08:19 |
| linuxfreaker | no unzip command | 08:20 |
| Sysi | install it | 08:24 |
| cousteau | why don't you have unzip? did you install sort of a minimal xubuntu? it should be there by default | 08:28 |
| cousteau | xubuntu-desktop depends on unzip | 08:28 |

| astraljava | Well congratulations, you've managed to install it in a way no one else has so far. Usually the installer won't continue unless you've set the first user, and the password for it. | 15:40 |
| GridCube | xubuntu713, you "had" to set it | 15:40 |
| GridCube | there is no way not to | 15:40 |

| xubuntu713 | damn it lol | 15:40 |
| xubuntu713 | dunno lol | 15:41 |
| xubuntu713 | it just asks for tty login etc | 15:41 |

| babble | szerzetes: somebody likely has a solution, or can point you in a useful direction. | 17:33 |

| szerzetes | I want to lock screen and turn off display with one shortcuts | 17:34 |
| szerzetes | (sorry my english! :$) | 17:34 |
| babble | in Xubuntu, set your preferred keyboard shortcut for xflock -l | 17:35 |
| szerzetes | xflock4 is lock and make black screen, but not turn off it | 17:36 |
| martian | szerzetes: looks like this thread may also provide you with relevant commands which could be initiated with a panel button if you like: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387 | 17:37 |
| babble | display settings are handled by the power manager. | 17:37 |
| babble | let me see if there's a simple way to manuplate it from the commandline. | 17:37 |
| babble | you can do a xfconf-query command to set power manager settings | 17:38 |
| babble | you could combine your xflock command and your xfconf query into a single script and launch that with a keyboard command. | 17:38 |

| szerzetes | I find this: xset dpms force off; | 17:40 |
| szerzetes | after xflock4, it turn on the display, but sume second it go to sleep instead of standby | 17:41 |
| babble | it doesn't look like there's an xfconf key to immediately sleep the display | 17:42 |
| babble | you could set a very short display sleep time with an xfconf-query and set another, saner time, with a couple of scripts, but that seems like a waste | 17:42 |

| szerzetes | oooh it is solved :) | 17:46 |
| martian | Would anyone happen to know how to initiate a graphical progress copy as a thunar custom action? Not concerned with the params, just what the executable might be. | 17:57 |
| babble | it's probably a function call IN thunar (i.e. not a separate executable you can call from /usr/bin) | 18:00 |
| martian | mmm, oh well | 18:01 |
| babble | what do you need the progress bar for? | 18:01 |
| babble | you can likely do something similar in zenity | 18:01 |
| xubuntu725 | hello all | 19:21 |
| baizon | welcome | 19:21 |
| xubuntu725 | recently performed the xubuntu 12.04 upgrade on netbook, mouse has stopped working, and SUPER (assuming the windows key) key shortcuts do not work | 19:22 |
| xubuntu725 | I can tab around main desktop, but I try ctrl-alt-F1 to open a terminal | 19:22 |
| xubuntu725 | but it doesn't work | 19:22 |
| xubuntu725 | i have also tried plugging in a usb mouse, and it does not work either. | 19:23 |
| baizon | xubuntu725: check dmesg | 19:25 |
| baizon | and the settings for your shortcuts | 19:26 |
| xubuntu725 | i can't check dmesg when I can't get a terminal up | 19:32 |
| Forty-3 | hey | 19:32 |
| xubuntu725 | and I can't get the terminal through ctrl-alt-f1 | 19:32 |
| Forty-3 | I'm helping a friend set up linux | 19:32 |
| Forty-3 | how do I encrypt his drive? | 19:32 |
| xubuntu725 | I can't check the settings for the shortcuts either because I can't get to the applications menu | 19:32 |
| xubuntu725 | and I've tried Ctrl-esc | 19:33 |
| xubuntu725 | no dice | 19:33 |
| Unit193 | Forty-3: Should have an option in the alternate installer while in the partition section. | 19:33 |
| xubuntu725 | ok I now have a terminal by pressing alt-f2 | 19:36 |
| xubuntu725 | and running terminal in terminal | 19:36 |
| xubuntu725 | and creating a new terminal | 19:36 |
| xubuntu725 | dmesg sees the usb device connect | 19:36 |
| xubuntu725 | but still no mouse | 19:36 |
| baizon | so maybe the mouse is broken :) | 19:37 |
| baizon | check it on another computer | 19:37 |
| xubuntu725 | mouse works on the other computer | 19:38 |
| baizon | another usb port? | 19:38 |
| xubuntu725 | and the touchpad on the original netbook also worked before the upgrade | 19:38 |
| xubuntu725 | tried both ports | 19:38 |
| xubuntu725 | not exactly that I need the mouse, but I'd like to try to have a working machine again | 19:39 |
| Forty-3 | Unit193: ok | 19:39 |
| xubuntu725 | since I have terminal | 19:39 |

| Baardmans | Good evening guys. | 20:02 |
| aquix | welcome Baardmans | 20:05 |
| Baardmans | Hi Aquix. I have a question .. I heard that usually folks wait a couple of weeks after a new version version of (X)ubuntu comes out .. so that any remaining glitches are worked out .. How long do you usually wait or what do you recommend? | 20:08 |
| baizon | Baardmans: if you really really want to wait... | 20:09 |
| baizon | i would recommend to wait until 12.04.1 | 20:09 |
| Baardmans | When is that one expected? I don't know the .1 , .2 system works :) | 20:10 |
| baizon | Baardmans: july | 20:12 |
| baizon | Baardmans: more here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule | 20:13 |
| Baardmans | Thanks. How's Xubuntu 12.04 running for you? | 20:13 |
| baizon | very well :) | 20:13 |
| baizon | no problems at all | 20:13 |
| Baardmans | I'm thinking of doing a fresh install over my ubuntu 11.04 | 20:13 |
| baizon | ok | 20:13 |
| Marzata | in 11.10 when you have more than 1 administrator the Xubuntu give you choice which one password to choose | 20:14 |
| baizon | good choice | 20:14 |
| Marzata | in 12.04 there is no such chance, you only have to type the password on the 1st created admin | 20:14 |
| Marzata | am I wrong? | 20:14 |
| Forty-3 | how do I resize partitions | 20:17 |
| baizon | Forty-3: use gparted | 20:17 |
| Forty-3 | using the install tool | 20:17 |
| baizon | im not sure but i i think it is not possible | 20:19 |
| drc | Forty-3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition | 20:23 |
| Forty-3 | drc: thanks | 20:24 |
| Marzata | so what about administrators passwords? | 20:25 |
| drc | np...but as baizon said, I'm not sure you can do it from within the installer. | 20:25 |
| Marzata | is this a bug in 12.04? | 20:25 |
| drc | Forty-3: "In order to adjust your disc partitions with Gparted, the disc needs to be accessed from 'outside' as it were. You do this by getting Ubuntu going from the Live CD (ie 'boot into live') and then run Gparted from there. Ubuntu is then running from RAM rather than your hard disc. If dev/sda1 still exists as your screenshot shows, you should be able to reinstate your old Win7 to that ntfs partition. And yes, you can resize your Ubuntu partition, but on | 20:28 |
| drc | ly by using the Live CD" | 20:28 |
| baizon | drc: of course you can, its because the live cd got gparted on it ;) | 20:29 |
| baizon | but the installer itselft dont have that feature | 20:29 |
| drc | baizon: live cd yes, but once you're inside the installer? | 20:29 |
| baizon | drc: yes and no | 20:30 |
| drc | back out and try it? | 20:30 |
| baizon | if your on the step before setting the partition it still is possible | 20:30 |
| baizon | not after that | 20:30 |
| baizon | drc: yes | 20:30 |
| drc | ok, got that Forty-3 ? | 20:32 |
| Forty-3 | so boot into windows to resize? (or the livecd) | 20:33 |
| baizon | Forty-3: yes, or use parted magic :) | 20:36 |
| Forty-3 | ok | 20:39 |
| Forty-3 | what's the control panel Icon to resize? | 20:39 |
| Forty-3 | (I don't use windows that much) | 20:39 |

| StreetBall | hi folks, looking for some help | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | Cool, whatcha need? | 21:12 |
| StreetBall | hi Unit193, i would like to get my DVB-T Stick work | 21:12 |
| StreetBall | i'm not a linux skilled man, but i can still type and paste ;) | 21:13 |
| Unit193 | Right, considering I had to google what that was, and food time now. | 21:14 |
| StreetBall | happy food, Unit193 :) | 21:15 |
| StreetBall | i think that eatin' is far more interesting than DVB-T ;D | 21:15 |
| ox1de | Hi! my screen is very dim for some reason... how can i make it brighter? | 23:28 |
| ox1de | it happend after it glitched.. it glitched and i unplugged it and rebooted, now its dim | 23:28 |
| ox1de | what should i do? | 23:28 |
| justakill | which command is for moving lots of files in terminal | 23:28 |
| justakill | = | 23:28 |
| justakill | ? | 23:28 |
| justakill | oh its okay i got it = mv [filename] [filename] [dir] | 23:30 |
| justakill | and -i to not mess things up | 23:30 |
| ox1de | ??????? | 23:33 |
| ox1de | i'm on a laptop btw | 23:34 |
| Marqeaux | @ox1de: Is the plug of your power adapter attached to your laptop or to the wall socket? | 23:46 |
| ox1de | yes its plugged in | 23:47 |
| Marqeaux | Ah, so it's not working on battery power... hmmm.... | 23:47 |
| ox1de | the battery ran out.. so i plugged it in and got a user/pass menu on top of the screen saver and it wouldnt load, so i unplugged it and rebooted and now the screen is dim | 23:47 |
| Marqeaux | How are your power settings? Check that out. Maybe you can find the solution there... | 23:48 |
| ox1de | there is nothing about dimming in the power setttings | 23:50 |
| Marqeaux | I know where to find it, but I can't explain in English.... | 23:55 |
| Marqeaux | Check here where to find it: http://static.afbeeldinguploaden.nl/1205/10870/3GA0L.png | 23:58 |
