| w30 | ffs82defxp, did you get your work place switcher back? | 01:12 |
| ffs82defxp | yes. | 01:13 |
| ffs82defxp | w30: how do I make the workspace switcher take on a vertical orientation? | 01:13 |
| ffs82defxp | I put it onto a vertical panel | 01:13 |
| ffs82defxp | but it's still horizontal | 01:13 |
| w30 | ffs82defxp, donno, I have never used a vertical panel. | 01:15 |
| ffs82defxp | I feel like the workspace switcher is too small just on the default panel.. | 01:16 |
| w30 | ffs82defxp, precisely because of having short horizontal space for names etc. | 01:18 |

| Vermicelli | Could someone tell me about virtual packages? Trying to install through Ubuntu Software Center a game I bought on Humble Indie Bundle gives this: | 05:47 |
| Vermicelli | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 05:47 |
| Vermicelli | limbo: Depends: limbo-bin (= 1.0-0ubuntu4) but it is a virtual package | 05:47 |
| Vermicelli | Same with another. "The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 06:14 |
| Vermicelli | psychonauts: Depends: psychonauts-bin (>= 1.2) but it is a virtual package | 06:14 |
| Vermicelli | " | 06:14 |
| laite | Vermicelli: how are you trting to install them? through ubuntu repository? | 06:20 |
| Vermicelli | Through Ubuntu SOftware Center. | 06:21 |
| laite | Hm, I had no problem with installing them but I downloaded packages from the site instead | 06:22 |
| laite | so sorry, can't really help with that :/ | 06:22 |
| Vermicelli | I'll probably end up doign that, but it was made to look like this was the friendler way. :-P | 06:22 |
| Vermicelli | Thanks. | 06:22 |
| sameer | Guys, I noticed that the area in which the cursor changes and allows for the resizing of a window to happen (at the corner of a window) is rather small. I cannot quickly resize a window because of this. Is there something I can do about that? | 06:23 |
| Vermicelli | Change the window manager? | 06:24 |
| sameer | How do I do that | 06:25 |
| sameer | ? | 06:25 |
| laite | sameer: the 'preferable' way to do that is to hit crtl/alt and right mouse button at the same time | 06:25 |
| laite | can't remember which key it is by default, it's either one of them^ | 06:25 |
| Vermicelli | menu-settings-settings manager- window manager | 06:25 |
| laite | sameer: you can change key in settings->window manager tweaks->accessibility | 06:26 |
| Vermicelli | Or that works. New to me. alt+rtclick | 06:26 |
| sameer | I like the shortcut, but you'd think the developers would've accounted for peoples lack of ability when it comes to being precise; especially when you are using a trackpad. | 06:31 |
| Silent | Hi :) | 06:48 |
| Silent | What's Xubuntu desktop? | 06:50 |
| hobgoblin | a distro using xfce | 06:50 |
| Silent | During the installation, when you are offered to select software packages. | 06:50 |
| Silent | No, I mean the package | 06:50 |
| hobgoblin | oic xubuntu-desktop | 06:51 |
| Silent | It asks me if I wanna install OpenSSH server, Mail server, Print server, Xubuntu desktop and Manual package selection | 06:51 |
| hobgoblin | install from where? | 06:51 |
| Silent | From the installer. It just finished configuring APT. | 06:52 |
| Silent | I'm installing Xubuntu alternative for 32bit | 06:52 |
| hobgoblin | oh right | 06:52 |
| hobgoblin | long time since I did that | 06:52 |
| hobgoblin | what's the actual question ? | 06:52 |
| Silent_ | I'm sorry, firefox crashed. | 06:54 |
| === Silent_ is now known as Silent | ||
| Silent | So should I install xubuntu-desktop? | 06:56 |
| hobgoblin | Silent: if you are installing xubuntu then yes :) | 06:56 |
| Silent | Then why does it ask me? | 06:57 |
| Silent | I mean, that's why I'm installing Xubuntu after all. | 06:57 |
| well_laid_lawn | !alternate | 06:57 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 06:57 |
| hobgoblin | because it works differently than the livecd - you might not want to install xubuntu-dekstop but xfce or something | 06:58 |
| Silent | How is xubuntu-desktop different form xfce? | 06:58 |
| hobgoblin | xubuntu-desktop is xfce with specific things added/changed | 07:00 |
| Silent | Is there a place where I can read about it? | 07:00 |
| hobgoblin | http://xubuntu.org/ | 07:01 |
| Silent | :\ | 07:01 |
| Silent | Nevermind that for now. Installation doesn't seem to be working - it just fails every time it tries to download xubuntu-desktop | 07:01 |
| Silent | Is there a log? | 07:01 |
| hobgoblin | I don't know | 07:02 |
| Silent | I'll just reboot then. | 07:03 |
| Silent | What's faster, HTTP or FTP? | 07:05 |
| olbi | Silent, Torrent :D | 07:05 |
| hobgoblin | as long as there's a seed :) | 07:06 |
| Silent | lol | 07:06 |
| Silent | For Ubuntu mirrors. | 07:06 |
| Silent | Just HTTP and FTP for now as far as I can see | 07:06 |
| olbi | hobgoblin: yep :D | 07:07 |
| SandJ_II | For a single large file, FTP is faster that HTTP. | 07:08 |
| olbi | in Xubuntu 12.04 LTS Bluetooth has some errors, it was fixed? | 07:08 |
| olbi | because I didnt change distro for this reason :] | 07:08 |
| olbi | still have 11.10 and works great :] | 07:09 |
| olbi | w8ing for 12.10 | 07:09 |
| Silent | Alright | 07:09 |
| GeekAdmin | hi | 07:11 |
| GeekAdmin | anyone around by chance ? | 07:11 |
| Silent | Yes | 07:11 |
| Silent | Why, are you FBI? | 07:11 |
| GeekAdmin | hi. I'm trying to convince someone to try gnome classic but they are using xubuntu. if they run sudo apt-get install gnome-shell will that be safe and best way? | 07:11 |
| GeekAdmin | lol | 07:11 |
| Silent | I'm sorry, I don't know | 07:12 |
| hobgoblin | I'd be more inclined to convince them that they should make their own mind up ... | 07:12 |
| GeekAdmin | haha | 07:12 |
| Silent | I'd just try some sort of Gnome live CD | 07:12 |
| GeekAdmin | well they are complaining they dont like xfce | 07:12 |
| GeekAdmin | yea | 07:13 |
| Silent | What is there not to like? | 07:13 |
| Silent | I lvoe it. | 07:13 |
| Silent | love* | 07:13 |
| GeekAdmin | yea I've used it myself and like it | 07:13 |
| GeekAdmin | but I like gnome-classic more | 07:13 |
| Silent | Alright, suit yourself | 07:13 |
| GeekAdmin | but I'd use xubuntu on old PC's | 07:13 |
| GeekAdmin | just dont use any old pc's thses days | 07:13 |
| hobgoblin | GeekAdmin: I'd not know if the apt-get command works or not without a PPA - but if it's there then try it | 07:14 |
| GeekAdmin | It works on regular ubuntu | 07:14 |
| GeekAdmin | 12.04 | 07:14 |
| GeekAdmin | when in unity | 07:15 |
| GeekAdmin | you can run: | 07:15 |
| GeekAdmin | sudo apt-get install gnome-shell | 07:15 |
| GeekAdmin | without PPA | 07:15 |
| GeekAdmin | :-) | 07:15 |
| GeekAdmin | sorry. I have a bad habit of writing on multiple lines. | 07:15 |
| olbi | some1 know, how to change transparent of menu? | 07:15 |
| Silent | We will now kill you for that. | 07:15 |
| olbi | Main Menu :P | 07:16 |
| hobgoblin | GeekAdmin: then go ahead and get them to try it | 07:17 |
| Silent | how is linux-generic different form linux-image-generic? | 07:31 |
| SandJ_II | linux-generic is dependent upon linux-image-generic | 07:58 |
| Silent | And what does that mean? | 07:59 |
| knome | Silent, they're just metapackages, ensuring you get the right things when you install "linux-generic". don't worry about that. | 08:18 |
| Silent | Alright, thank you | 08:19 |
| it | hi | 08:24 |

| ffs82defxp | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 08:55 |
| it | guys how do I autologin another windowmanager, ie. icewm? | 08:56 |
| it | I have been struggling with this for 2 days | 08:56 |
| laite | ffs82defxp: are you sure there is no program open that uses that, synaptic/software center/on-going apt-get etc? | 08:58 |
| ffs82defxp | yes, synaptic is open | 08:59 |
| ffs82defxp | Oh | 08:59 |
| ffs82defxp | laite: What is the var folder for? | 08:59 |
| it | anyone? | 09:00 |
| laite | to be honest, I don't really know - I would guess it has something to do with operating system run-variables, but don't take my word for it :) | 09:00 |
| hobgoblin | ffs82defxp: have a look here http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html | 09:01 |
| hobgoblin | http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/linux-file-system-structure/ | 09:01 |

| it | hobgoblin, yes it is me | 09:03 |
| hobgoblin | k | 09:03 |
| it | an alternative idea would be to edit lightdm sessions and just leave icewm there | 09:04 |
| it | do you know how to do that? | 09:04 |
| hobgoblin | I only know the /etc/lightdm files | 09:05 |
| it | so anyone know how to edit the sessions in lightdm? | 09:06 |
| laite | it: qith a quick look in /usr/share/xsessions they seem to be quite plain .desktop-files | 09:07 |
| laite | *with | 09:07 |
| laite | take a look on xfce.desktop, for example, and change 'startxfce4' to whatever you'd like to start instead of it | 09:08 |
| it | ok thx | 09:10 |
| ffs82defxp | Guys, does a workspace automatically close all its programs after some time of no use? | 09:34 |

| SDX | I have amd64 Java and x86_64 Firefox installed, but Firefox won't recognize libnpjp2.so as a plugin. | 11:05 |
| SDX | Should I be using i386 Java or could something else be the problem? | 11:06 |
| baizon | mine java x64 is working | 11:08 |
| baizon | have you installed the mozilla plugin? | 11:08 |
| baizon | sun-java6-plugin | 11:09 |
| SDX | I installed Java 7 to /usr/lib/jvm. | 11:09 |
| SDX | java -version works at least. | 11:09 |
| SDX | Oracle Java 7, if it matters. | 11:11 |
| baizon | have you updatet the "update-alternatives" ? | 11:12 |
| baizon | SDX: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-oracle-java-jre-7 | 11:12 |
| baizon | that should help | 11:12 |
| SDX | I ran "sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_05/bin/java 3" now. | 11:14 |
| SDX | No. Still nothing. | 11:15 |
| knome | SDX, did you look at 'sudo update-alternatives --config java' if 3 is the right choice? | 11:15 |
| SDX | There's nothing to configure. I only have one version of Java. | 11:16 |
| SDX | "There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0_05/bin/java Nothing to configure." | 11:17 |
| sari | hi | 11:24 |
| knome | hullo | 11:24 |
| sari | what the good server in liunkx | 11:24 |
| knome | what do you mean by 'good server in linux' ? | 11:25 |
| sari | zentyal server | 11:26 |
| sari | is good | 11:26 |
| knome | do you have a support question about xubuntu? | 11:26 |
| sari | no | 11:26 |
| knome | in that case, #xubuntu-offtopic is the channel for offtopic chatter | 11:27 |
| sari | ? | 11:27 |
| sari | it is support xubuntu | 11:28 |
| knome | what's your native language? there's probably help with that language too if it'd be easier for you | 11:28 |
| sari | arabic | 11:29 |
| knome | !arabic | sari | 11:29 |
| ubottu | sari: For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية | 11:29 |
| sari | هاي | 11:30 |
| knome | i suppose that meant "thanks" | 11:30 |
| hobgoblin | hope so ... :) | 11:31 |
| knome | at least he left just after - so not a big problem if it didn't | 11:32 |
| it | to answer my own question: I just renamed the xubuntu.desktop and xfce.desktop and this way icewm can load by default with autologin | 11:32 |
| hobgoblin | it: renamed to what? | 11:32 |
| it | just put a dot in front of them | 11:33 |
| SDX | I can't seem to get the Java plugin for Firefox to work. Creating a symlink to libnpjp.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins didn't work. | 11:33 |
| hobgoblin | it: ok cool - thanks - so you just have the icewm.desktop in there an referenced in lightdm and it works? | 11:33 |
| it | well I think it only works because it ca not find xfce | 11:34 |
| it | but otherwise it did not | 11:34 |
| hobgoblin | oh right | 11:34 |
| it | if I left the mentioned files there | 11:34 |
| hobgoblin | I shall talk to someone about this though when I can | 11:34 |
| hobgoblin | I know who :) | 11:35 |
| it | it may be bug in lightdm | 11:35 |
| it | very annoying though | 11:35 |
| hobgoblin | report it then :) | 11:35 |

| nothingmuch | Hi | 12:05 |
| nothingmuch | I am trying to install xubuntu on to a new HD | 12:05 |
| nothingmuch | I think it's not being marked bootable | 12:05 |
| nothingmuch | if I only leave the new HD connected after the installer prompts to restart, i never see grub | 12:06 |
| baizon | that was fast | 12:07 |
| hobgoblin | yep - gone to the #xubuntupyschic I think | 12:07 |
| hobgoblin | it: I think I've found it - lightdm remembers your last session it seems - so if you had logged into icewm and then rebooted - it would have gone to icewm | 12:25 |
| it_ | hobgoblin, I have to find another solution until the bug is fixed | 12:28 |
| it_ | yeah: deleted both files related to xfce and xubuntu. desktop | 12:30 |
| it_ | now only icewm entries are in lightdm | 12:30 |
| hobgoblin | I did it here - set fluxbox as default, logged out and then logged into fluxbox - reboots into fluxbox | 12:33 |
| it_ | just a sec | 12:33 |
| it_ | what did you do exactly? | 12:36 |
| hobgoblin | set the default in /etc/lighdm/lightdm.conf (though I'm not sure you need to) logged out, then logged back into the fluxbox session - then rebooted from there | 12:37 |
| hobgoblin | when it rebooted - it went to fluxbox and not xubuntu | 12:38 |
| it_ | so you did not deleted the .desktop files | 12:38 |
| hobgoblin | nope | 12:39 |
| it_ | strange | 12:39 |
| it_ | funny that mine does not autologin now when lightdm only has icewm and I also set lightdm.conf | 12:41 |
| it_ | I do not understand this: how come yours works and mine does not | 12:43 |
| hobgoblin | I don't know - but I didn't rename the desktop files though | 12:46 |
| hobgoblin | I gtg for a bit now | 12:46 |
| SDX | How would I go about replacing PulseAudio with ALSA? | 12:53 |

| lopan | Hello, I was wondering if anyone would know how to bring back the Dock panel; It is the one that sits at the bottom. I tried just making a new one, but the program icons are placed all the way to the left, instead of center. | 13:10 |
| Solak | Hello. | 13:13 |
| knome | lopan, add a 'separator' and make it expand | 13:14 |
| SDX | How can I use Xfce's Mixer to adjust my volume instead of PulseAudio's Volume Control? | 13:16 |
| Solak | What is the (safe) way of adding a user under XUbuntu 12.04 and makes use of an already existing /home/username/ ? | 13:17 |
| * Solak used the upgrade option from KUbuntu 10.04 -> XUbuntu 12.04 that preserves the user data. | 13:18 | |
| Solak | for one account I followed the normal install-procedure, but I want to make the system aware of the other account too. | 13:19 |
| SDX | Copying all of the files from the old user's home folder to the new one wouldn't work? | 13:19 |
| lopan | knome, perfect, thanks! | 13:19 |
| SDX | "cp -r /home/olduser/* ~" would do it with one command. | 13:21 |
| SDX | "How can I use Xfce's Mixer to adjust my volume instead of PulseAudio's Volume Control?" Anyone? | 13:22 |
| SDX | It's one of the things I loved about Debian Stable. :/ | 13:23 |
| Solak | SDX: yes, but that requires root privileges. Under Debian I just did 'su' -> pwd, ready... XUbuntu is different with sudo... | 13:23 |
| Solak | SDX: since the system isn't aware of the user I can't login as that user. | 13:24 |
| Solak | I guess even root wouldn't work... | 13:24 |
| SDX | You can log in as root under Xubuntu if you use "sudo passwd" to set a password for the root account. | 13:25 |
| * Solak makes a note :) thanks. | 13:25 | |
| Myrtti | it's not recommended tho | 13:25 |
| Solak | no. | 13:26 |
| Myrtti | and logging in as root in GUI is generally asking for trouble | 13:26 |
| Solak | but in this case I'm not sure... at least I'm not aware of another method, unless 'add user' in xfce keeps the folder with user data... | 13:26 |
| Solak | but I have a bad feeling that's not the case. | 13:27 |
| Solak | Myrtti: login as root and running a gui is, certainly in this case, not necessary. | 13:44 |
| Solak | Myrtti: I think 'adduser' can be used with an option to keep the user-map in /home. | 13:44 |
| Solak | Myrtti: that would probably be the best way, because console login as root might not work either. | 13:45 |

| sourcooki | I am having a problem with my keyboard, it is not being recognized by grub or at boot to select bios. This happened after I updated xububtu and restarted to allow the changes to be made. Have tried to google, however I only get legacy usb errors which do not pertain to me as I am on a laptop. Anyone know what did this? | 14:36 |
| abominabledrunk | @sourcooki, you might try changing the setting in your bios about usb keyboard support | 14:36 |
| sourcooki | I cannot access it, i am on a laptop and the bios is not recognizing my key presses | 14:37 |
| abominabledrunk | Oh in that case you'll have to plug in a keyboard to get into it... But at any rate if it's not reading the keyboard at boot then it's something in the bios and not the OS | 14:38 |
| sourcooki | Well it happened right after I updated xubuntu | 14:39 |
| abominabledrunk | Thats really strange... it may have changed your bios setting, but I dont know why it would have | 14:39 |
| sourcooki | Agreed, the only visual clue i got was that grub was with a black background not the slightly purpleish one that comes when you install it from ubuntu | 14:41 |
| abominabledrunk | So if I need to upgrade my libc6 to use EncFS I might as well just switch to a distro that has it already, rather than try to recompile everything? | 14:47 |
| abominabledrunk | Ok yea this channel is bumming me out... | 14:50 |
| baizon | ? | 14:50 |
| baizon | im using encfs | 14:50 |
| baizon | and i dont have to compile | 14:50 |

| martinphone | how do I join 3 pdf documents into one in an specific order? | 15:32 |
| martinphone | if offtopic, please tell me a channel in which I should ask | 15:33 |
| holstein | martinphone: i just use libreoffice.. import whatever into the doc, order them.. and export as pdf | 15:33 |
| martinphone | holstein, i though of that, but that will surely put in disarray all the pictures I have | 15:34 |
| holstein | it will put them in whatever array you choose | 15:34 |
| holstein | in the case were i had pdf's, i just made them images, maybe by printing them, and imported the images into what was then openoffice, ordered them.. and exported as pdf | 15:34 |
| holstein | im sure i could have come up with a quicker, easier way, but i just needed something done real quick, and knocked it out that wat | 15:35 |
| holstein | way* | 15:35 |
| martinphone | me too, 2 hours to deadline | 15:36 |
| holstein | didnt take me 2 hours... | 15:38 |
| martinphone | lol i guess it didnt | 15:38 |
| martinphone | I mean I have 15 minutes to think of another way of doing it | 15:38 |
| holstein | if you want to re-order a pdf, and you dont/cant ask the content creator, you can make the pages images, and import the images into libreoffice.. order them and export to pdf... i *know* that works | 15:40 |
| martinphone | can I do that with document viewer? | 15:42 |

| hobgoblin | martinphone: you'll have to e-mail the forum council/admins here ubuntu-forums-council@lists.ubuntu.com | 15:52 |
| martinphone | are hobgoblins like trolls? | 15:52 |
| hobgoblin | aah if it was a tor exit node - we had some trouble I think - spam accounts | 15:52 |
| martinphone | ill wait till tor changes its exit node, if that doesnt work, ill do what you posted | 15:52 |
| martinphone | spam in the forums? | 15:53 |
| hobgoblin | martinphone: this one is except when he has his helpful head on | 15:53 |

| hobgoblin | not funny really - we spend hours getting rid of it | 15:53 |

| martinphone | is it command line only? | 17:56 |
| SDX | You could try "man pdftk" in a terminal to find out. | 17:57 |

| ben1234 | hey, is it dangerous to use alien to install rpm's? | 18:01 |
| SDX | That depends on what package you plan to install. | 18:02 |
| SDX | If you're just putting GIMP through, I can't imagine it would cause a crash. | 18:02 |
| SDX | If you try to convert something like GCC through alien, though... | 18:03 |
| ben1234 | yeah... i found a few games that are rpm's and cant find any deb files for them. | 18:04 |
| Pici | Personally I'd sooner install from source with checkinstall than use alien to convert an RPM. | 18:06 |
| hobgoblin | +1 | 18:07 |
| ben1234 | I didnt think of that... thanks Pici | 18:08 |

| artie | Hi All, one of my users gets a command line screen after they log in, and wants the GUI screen instead. How does one tell xubuntu to start the GUI for the desktop (using the command line)? | 21:25 |
| v1adimir | maybe startx, or startxfce4?.. haven't looked it up, just guessing. | 21:27 |
| artie | thanks Vlad, I tried startxfce4, but it gives errors like xxx already running on line 7, etc...... | 21:29 |
| v1adimir | kk :( | 21:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | artie: you can do ctrl+alt+F7 to have a look at what is there | 21:32 |
| artie | ok, will try well_, ty. I have to leave in order to try, brb. | 21:33 |
| artie | well_laid, ctrl+alt+f7 did not work, other than to change the font sze while in the command line mode. | 21:52 |
| well_laid_lawn | artie: seems strange | 21:58 |
| artie | yes, I know the user was doing something in the recovery module, them couldn't get out of the text/command line mode later. | 21:59 |
| artie | other than that, I on't have a clue::> | 22:00 |
| artie | There is a circle icon with small starlike protrusions on the log in page, clicking on it allows one to select xfce4 session, user defined session, etc.....but none of thos make any difference. | 22:02 |
| artie | I went into the recovery mode myself, and it never allowed me to leave, espite having an exit menu from the recovery console. | 22:03 |
| artie | I' | 22:03 |
| artie | m really stuck::> | 22:03 |
| well_laid_lawn | sounds like the lightdm conf isn't right - has it always been like this? | 22:05 |
| artie | I guess I need to figure out how to get his data files off his desktop, so he can log in as a differenct user andstill have his data. | 22:05 |
| artie | no, it's been working fine for a long time, then it just went bad. All other users work normally. | 22:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | !lightdm | 22:06 |
| well_laid_lawn | !info lightdm | 22:07 |
| ubottu | lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 94 kB, installed size 432 kB | 22:07 |
| artie | it is an encrypted user, but he has his passcode and can open files on his desktop from the command line....so, excryption is not likely a problem. | 22:07 |
