[00:00] Hi. In Xubuntu 12.04, is it possible to run several log-in screens, each on its own VT? [00:01] Anyone??? [00:05] Astro-nut, yup [00:05] the same way that with any linux [00:07] I tried but couldn't. In the past I used this HOWTO: http://hex1a4.net/xubuntu/howto/03/ but now Xubuntu doesn't use GDM [00:09] Is there a HOWTO on how to do it. My Google-fu must not be so good because I couldn't find anything. [00:10] Lightdm is what Xubuntu is using. [00:10] !xinit [00:10] Astro-nut: the key would be to start multiple X11 sessions, you don't need to do that with the desktop-manager (like gdm) [00:10] asterismo, use xinit [00:10] Astro-nut: what might also help your google-fu: xubuntu now uses lightdm (like ubuntu) [00:10] xinit -- :1 [00:12] I should mention that I need three X displays on VTs 5-7 and that they should load on boot. Is this possible with xinit? [00:14] ok, was startx [00:14] :P [00:16] ok, but that launches [00:16] root === Htbrdd is now known as zz_Htbrdd [02:32] hello all, im using synergy to connect to a computer connected to my tv, and i have it all set up so that it starts when i log in, the only problem is i would like to be able to use it to log in! or maybe not have to log in at all since its being used as a media server of sorts, but i cant find a "automatically log in as _____ user " in options anywhere, any help? [02:33] Yep, just edit /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf [02:33] http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ [03:20] o/ [03:20] !hi [03:20] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [03:24] Unit193: they let just anyone in here [03:25] :-D [04:43] what is the default sound driver used in xubuntu is it alsa? [04:44] Pulse. [04:56] is there anything that normalizes audio system wide? [04:59] You can install pavaucontrol to set sound. [05:58] what is the default Volume Control in xubuntu I see no about buttons [05:59] indicator-sound is probably what you are looking at [06:00] thanks [06:08] Is indicator-sound capable of handling ladspa plugins [06:52] linuxshine: indicator-sound is (as the name suggests) only an indicator for your volume and sound [06:53] linuxshine: the question you should be asking is: http://askubuntu.com/questions/43950/how-can-i-apply-a-ladspa-plugin-to-a-pulseaudio-stream [06:55] it was pavucontrol :) thanks [06:56] and thanks for that link ochosi [06:57] np === knome_ is now known as knome [08:38] I need help with compiz, I do not have decoration and that kind of sucks because I would like to have a close minimize and fullscreen button, any help? [08:44] oh mouse died, I'll ask again tomorrow after my batteries charge. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [08:59] I just installed Xubuntu 12.04 and I am running 2 monitors. I can not figure out a way to get a window to move to the other monitor. [09:03] xubuntu081, drag it [09:03] I'd suspect you need to set it up as 'one' monitor [09:03] xubuntu081, note that the layout might be not what the physical layout is; eg. the monitor physically on the left might be virtually on the right [09:03] xubuntu081, (in that case you need to configure more, but dragging should work) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [09:09] I can't just drag the windows... my mouse cursor will change just fine, but when i drag a window with it the window gets stuck as if there were no other monitor === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [09:10] xubuntu081: I 'think' you can set them up in Settings - Settings Manager - Display [09:10] but I installed arandr and used that [09:11] arandr will only show me one monitor as well [09:11] and display settings will not open [09:11] the only place i can actually make any changes is in nvidia [09:12] ok - well make them there then - I did the same after I'd installed the nvidia driver [09:13] i think i need the "twin view" setting working, but I can't get it to work [09:13] everytime i save the change and reset x it goes back to the settings i have now [09:15] is it saving the changes to xorg.conf? [09:16] I tell it to [09:16] you don't need to reset ... make the changes - save to X Conf file, then quit and reboot or logout [09:16] k, i'll give that try, thanks [09:20] hobgoblin - I got the nvidia to save the twin view. It is not botting up my panels right now, is there a way to force that or do i need to reboot? [09:25] xubuntu599: try Alt+F2 xfce4-panel [09:26] so this morning i booted xubuntu and found the wallpaper isn't rendering, compiz now uses whatever was on the screen before as a wallpaper (like when you finished a game of patience in windows) [09:26] anyone else had this issue yet? [09:27] it tells me that the panel is running already [09:29] xubuntu599: are your screens both the same resolution - mine aren't and I lost one with twin view - had to fiddle to get it back [09:29] Jonne_: not using compiz [09:30] http://i.imgur.com/gZHPB.png [09:30] screenshot [09:30] i just figured it out in panel settings, they were still set to a screen that no longer exists [09:30] :) [09:31] everything is working well now, thank you so much! [09:31] windows are dragging and everything [09:31] cool [09:31] thanks again! [09:32] welcome xubuntu599 [09:33] guess i should ask this in #compiz [09:34] I'd not know sorry - not used compiz for years [09:34] I just know it's not default in xubuntu [09:34] yeah [09:35] but it worked fine last week [09:35] so i guess an update must've screwed something up [09:35] I'd assume so [09:36] nothing related to xfce or compiz got updated [09:36] just some virtualbox stuff, apt stuff [09:36] nautilus [09:37] gir1.2 [09:37] i'll try rebooting again [09:37] so a bunch of stuff not in a default xubuntu got updated and don't work now [09:38] oh - gone [09:54] don't have this issue with gnome fallback + compiz [09:54] although it still loads the xfce panels [09:54] * Jonne_ tries gnome3 [10:06] seems like none of my desktops work properly now [10:07] gnome-fallback works but looks a bit weird [10:07] that's not much fun :( [10:11] yeah, i guess you sort of have to pick one desktop and make sure to not install others [10:11] mixing always gets a bit weird [10:11] to be honest I stopped doing that a long time ago - either real partitions or vbox here now when I want to look [10:12] well, the reason i'm on xubuntu is because gnome3 won't play nice with dual screen and my radeon drivers [10:13] at least xubuntu still wants to be a real desktop without trying to cater for touch [10:13] :) [10:13] no need for compiz here though ;) [10:14] yeah, might just turn off compiz [10:15] for some reason netbeans has huge fonts everywhere in gnome [10:15] can't work like that [10:20] edited xfce4-session.xml so it would load xfwm4 by default, and this magically fixed everything [10:20] i even still have compiz [10:21] and notifications are properly rendered again [10:22] so i guess compiz was running twice for some reason [10:34] Is it possible to permanently mount MS Windows Shares in Xubuntu? [10:34] in /etc/fstab, yeah [10:35] Are there any prerquisites? I presume I will at least need to have installed sambafs. [10:35] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ something like this [10:35] there are many guides, just google cifs and fstab [10:36] I'll get on the case and give it a go. Thanks! [10:36] Jonne_: Thanks for helping out! You started out great, but then regressed a bit. :) We try not to give 'google it' as a support answer. Direct links to instructions are better, OTOH. [10:39] Looked at the link - looks straightforward but pride comes before a fall! [11:02] astraljava, it's just that i couldn't find the guide i used, so i gave him some keywords to use in case that one failed him [11:03] Jonne_: I understand. Of course it's better than nothing. And anyway, you gave a direct link in the first place, so a job well done nonetheless. :) [11:04] i agree that "just google it" isn't a great answer, but sometimes the right keywords are what someone needs [11:09] Yeah, but there's the chance of finding the not-so-great tutorials, resulting in even greater problems. :) [11:09] the problem with the one i linked is that the password is in /etc/fstab [11:09] the better guides use a seperate file to store the password [11:10] Yeah ok. [11:10] i wish there was a better way of doing this in general, because if your smb server goes down, you'll get all sorts of weirdness and sometimes you can only recover from it by rebooting [11:17] put mount to crontab with @reboot ? [11:18] or maybe gvfs-command in user's autostart [11:19] I don't know if those prevent problems, I can't get windows shares to work with two windows boxes [11:38] Hi folks, complete Xubuntu newbie here, but looking forward to getting to grips with it. I just bought a new mobo & CPU (Asus M5A78L-M LX V2, AMD Athlon II X3 460, 8GB RAM) and I've installed Xubuntu Desktop x64. On the system I also have a DeLock IDE PCI card, but Xubuntu doesn't seem to be picking up drivers for this hardware. Any suggestions what I can do? The mobo only has SATA connections and I was hoping that the DeLock woul [11:39] Apart from that Xubuntu seems to run very nicely [11:40] Tegal: you can't see disks connected to that pci-card even with gparted? [11:42] correct, i think i need drivers [11:43] probably [11:43] i was hoping that the IDE card would allow me to access DVD drives even in the BIOS, but no such luck. had to create a bootable USB key with xubuntu and got the OS installed that way [11:44] this is the hardware http://www.delock.de/produkte/G_70098/merkmale.html [11:46] what's the name for that device in the output of "lspci"? [11:47] hmm, unfortunately I [11:47] I'm at work right now and not on the system [11:48] was hoping for some general instructions I could try at home tonight [11:50] but maybe I should log on from the machine this evening [11:51] basic instruction is to google with " ubuntu" but I couldn't find any info [11:52] Hi. I want to know if I can install xubuntu with a athlon xp 1700 +, and 256 MB memory PC133? [11:53] xubuntu004: that RAM is quite little, if you want to use webbrowser or something [11:53] if you wanna try, lubuntu would be better [11:53] may it run with 256 MB Ram ? [11:54] should run, can't say how well [11:55] I´m using a lite XP and its toooooooooooooo slow. [11:56] I´ll try it out [12:00] thanks sysi, maybe I'll log on again tonight when i can access info on the system itself [12:00] that would be better [12:11] good evening [14:06] xubuntu004, I installed Xubuntu 11.04 on a 400MHz PC with 256 MB RAM. Yes, it loaded, but I couldn't do anything useful with it. [14:07] (Oops, NOW I spot their 'quit' notice) [14:41] can I get help with compiz, I do not have decorations and Im pretty sure that I need that in order to have minimize fullscreen and close buttons on my windows, to can I somehow get these? [14:42] qwentin: check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/8270/how-do-i-install-compiz-in-xubuntu ...especially the "do you really want compiz in xubuntu" ;) === magnus_ is now known as untaken === vn is now known as \dev\nul1 === \dev\nul1 is now known as vn === v1adimir is now known as oui === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [16:28] HELP!! very urgent [16:29] I need to take a screenshot of a whole webpage, but I cannot use the screenshot app because I need the whole page, not just the part I see in the screen [16:29] if offtopic, please write an appropiate channel [16:29] on windows, there's snagit :s [16:30] martinphone: the "print screen" button takes a screenshot of the whole screen for me [16:30] pleia2, is that a ff app? [16:30] you can also try using gimp, which has more fine-tuned options (including delay) [16:30] think he means +scroll [16:30] martinphone: ff? [16:31] firefox [16:31] no, it's the screenshot app [16:31] pleia2: I think he means the WHOLE page - not just what you can see [16:31] oh [16:31] yes, the whole thing [16:31] no idea then [16:32] :) [16:32] screw it, deadline in 12 hours [16:33] martinphone: what's the page, I'll do it from windows for you - since im so clueless on here [16:34] oui, wait...

[17:24] appreciated [17:26] I can't imagine any software from the Precise repositories breaking anything in 12.04. [17:26] You should be fine if you install Shutter through the Software Center. [17:27] noob question [18:11] Does anybody know if there is a way to get my caculator keyboard shortcut to work in xubuntu? [18:11] keytouch editor [18:11] it should simply work btw [18:12] or maybe not, in any case keytouch editor xubuntu556 [18:12] ok, yeah it doesn't work now, but i'm installing keytouch [18:12] thanks! [18:46] how should I go about learning about how to properly use any linux distro, more so to further my knowledge? [18:47] learning commands to use with the console would be appealing firstly [18:47] but I just have no idea how to teach myself anything useful [18:48] I'm starting to wonder why I care to use linux anymore [18:48] hi. whats the keyboard shortcut to invoke the application menu? [18:48] like alt f1 in gnome? [18:48] alt f2 [18:48] no its not [18:48] it brings the run dialog [18:49] ah, guess I don't know what you're talking about.. I'm a noob myself [18:49] sorry [19:25] Good evening [20:34] hi [20:36] xubuntu doesn't see the cd in the odd, after ejecting it and putting it back [20:38] How do I disable X from starting on boot? I want to boot to CLI. I have googled and googled and nothing works [21:09] Daemonicc, you need to... oh. (S)he's gone. === zz_Htbrdd is now known as Htbrdd === v1adimir is now known as oui [23:54] Hey, I'm installing Xubuntu now.
