[00:00] <Astro-nut> Hi.  In Xubuntu 12.04,  is it possible to run several log-in screens, each on its own VT?
[00:01] <Astro-nut> Anyone???
[00:05] <GridCube> Astro-nut, yup
[00:05] <GridCube> the same way that with any linux
[00:07] <Astro-nut> 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] <Astro-nut> 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] <Unit193> Lightdm is what Xubuntu is using.
[00:10] <GridCube> !xinit
[00:10] <ochosi> 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] <GridCube> asterismo, use xinit
[00:10] <ochosi> Astro-nut: what might also help your google-fu: xubuntu now uses lightdm (like ubuntu)
[00:10] <GridCube> xinit -- :1
[00:12] <Astro-nut> 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] <GridCube> ok, was startx
[00:14] <GridCube> :P
[00:16] <GridCube> ok, but that launches
[00:16] <GridCube> root
[02:32] <linuxjones> 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] <Unit193> Yep, just edit /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
[02:33] <Unit193> http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/
[03:20] <vrkalak> o/
[03:20] <Unit193> !hi
[03:24] <vrkalak> Unit193: they let just anyone in here
[03:25] <vrkalak> :-D
[04:43] <linuxshine> what is the default sound driver used in xubuntu is it alsa?
[04:44] <Unit193> Pulse.
[04:56] <linuxshine> is there anything that normalizes audio system wide?
[04:59] <Unit193> You can install pavaucontrol to set sound.
[05:58] <linuxshine> what is the default Volume Control in xubuntu I see no about buttons
[05:59] <hobgoblin> indicator-sound is probably what you are looking at
[06:00] <linuxshine> thanks
[06:08] <linuxshine> Is indicator-sound capable of handling ladspa plugins
[06:52] <ochosi> linuxshine: indicator-sound is (as the name suggests) only an indicator for your volume and sound
[06:53] <ochosi> 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] <linuxshine> it was pavucontrol :) thanks
[06:56] <linuxshine> and thanks for that link ochosi
[06:57] <ochosi> np
[08:38] <qwentin> 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] <qwentin> oh mouse died, I'll ask again tomorrow after my batteries charge.
[08:59] <xubuntu081> 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] <knome> xubuntu081, drag it
[09:03] <hobgoblin> I'd suspect you need to set it up as 'one' monitor
[09:03] <knome> 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] <knome> xubuntu081, (in that case you need to configure more, but dragging should work)
[09:09] <xubuntu081> 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
[09:10] <hobgoblin> xubuntu081: I 'think' you can set them up in Settings - Settings Manager - Display
[09:10] <hobgoblin> but I installed arandr and used that
[09:11] <xubuntu081> arandr will only show me one monitor as well
[09:11] <xubuntu081> and display settings will not open
[09:11] <xubuntu081> the only place i can actually make any changes is in nvidia
[09:12] <hobgoblin> ok - well make them there then - I did the same after I'd installed the nvidia driver
[09:13] <xubuntu081> i think i need the "twin view" setting working, but I can't get it to work
[09:13] <xubuntu081> everytime i save the change and reset x it goes back to the settings i have now
[09:15] <hobgoblin> is it saving the changes to xorg.conf?
[09:16] <xubuntu081> I tell it to
[09:16] <hobgoblin> you don't need to reset ... make the changes - save to X Conf file, then quit and reboot or logout
[09:16] <xubuntu081> k, i'll give that try, thanks
[09:20] <xubuntu599> 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] <hobgoblin> xubuntu599: try Alt+F2 xfce4-panel
[09:26] <Jonne_> 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] <Jonne_> anyone else had this issue yet?
[09:27] <xubuntu599> it tells me that the panel is running already
[09:29] <hobgoblin> 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] <hobgoblin> Jonne_: not using compiz
[09:30] <Jonne_> http://i.imgur.com/gZHPB.png
[09:30] <Jonne_> screenshot
[09:30] <xubuntu599> i just figured it out in panel settings, they were still set to a screen that no longer exists
[09:30] <hobgoblin> :)
[09:31] <xubuntu599> everything is working well now, thank you so much!
[09:31] <xubuntu599> windows are dragging and everything
[09:31] <hobgoblin> cool
[09:31] <xubuntu599> thanks again!
[09:32] <hobgoblin> welcome xubuntu599
[09:33] <Jonne_> guess i should ask this in #compiz
[09:34] <hobgoblin> I'd not know sorry - not used compiz for years
[09:34] <hobgoblin> I just know it's not default in xubuntu
[09:34] <Jonne_> yeah
[09:35] <Jonne_> but it worked fine last week
[09:35] <Jonne_> so i guess an update must've screwed something up
[09:35] <hobgoblin> I'd assume so
[09:36] <Jonne_> nothing related to xfce or compiz got updated
[09:36] <Jonne_> just some virtualbox stuff, apt stuff
[09:36] <Jonne_> nautilus
[09:37] <Jonne_> gir1.2
[09:37] <Jonne_> i'll try rebooting again
[09:37] <hobgoblin> so a bunch of stuff not in a default xubuntu got updated and don't work now
[09:38] <hobgoblin> oh - gone
[09:54] <Jonne_> don't have this issue with gnome fallback + compiz
[09:54] <Jonne_> although it still loads the xfce panels
[09:54]  * Jonne_ tries gnome3
[10:06] <Jonne_> seems like none of my desktops work properly now
[10:07] <Jonne_> gnome-fallback works but looks a bit weird
[10:07] <hobgoblin> that's not much fun :(
[10:11] <Jonne_> yeah, i guess you sort of have to pick one desktop and make sure to not install others
[10:11] <Jonne_> mixing always gets a bit weird
[10:11] <hobgoblin> 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] <Jonne_> well, the reason i'm on xubuntu is because gnome3 won't play nice with dual screen and my radeon drivers
[10:13] <Jonne_> at least xubuntu still wants to be a real desktop without trying to cater for touch
[10:13] <hobgoblin> :)
[10:13] <hobgoblin> no need for compiz here though ;)
[10:14] <Jonne_> yeah, might just turn off compiz
[10:15] <Jonne_> for some reason netbeans has huge fonts everywhere in gnome
[10:15] <Jonne_> can't work like that
[10:20] <Jonne_> edited xfce4-session.xml so it would load xfwm4 by default, and this magically fixed everything
[10:20] <Jonne_> i even still have compiz
[10:21] <Jonne_> and notifications are properly rendered again
[10:22] <Jonne_> so i guess compiz was running twice for some reason
[10:34] <DG_Firleigh> Is it possible to permanently mount MS Windows Shares in Xubuntu?
[10:34] <Jonne_> in /etc/fstab, yeah
[10:35] <DG_Firleigh> Are there any prerquisites? I presume I will at least need to have installed sambafs.
[10:35] <Jonne_> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/configure-a-system-to-automount-a-samba-share-with-etcfstab/ something like this
[10:35] <Jonne_> there are many guides, just google cifs and fstab
[10:36] <DG_Firleigh> I'll get on the case and give it a go. Thanks!
[10:36] <astraljava> 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] <DG_Firleigh> Looked at the link - looks straightforward but pride comes before a fall!
[11:02] <Jonne_> 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] <astraljava> 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] <Jonne_> i agree that "just google it" isn't a great answer, but sometimes the right keywords are what someone needs
[11:09] <astraljava> Yeah, but there's the chance of finding the not-so-great tutorials, resulting in even greater problems. :)
[11:09] <Jonne_> the problem with the one i linked is that the password is in /etc/fstab
[11:09] <Jonne_> the better guides use a seperate file to store the password
[11:10] <astraljava> Yeah ok.
[11:10] <Jonne_> 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] <Sysi> put mount to crontab with @reboot ?
[11:18] <Sysi> or maybe gvfs-command in user's autostart
[11:19] <Sysi> I don't know if those prevent problems, I can't get windows shares to work with two windows boxes
[11:38] <Tegal> 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] <Tegal> Apart from that Xubuntu seems to run very nicely
[11:40] <Sysi> Tegal: you can't see disks connected to that pci-card even with gparted?
[11:42] <Tegal> correct, i think i need drivers
[11:43] <Sysi> probably
[11:43] <Tegal> 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] <Tegal> this is the hardware http://www.delock.de/produkte/G_70098/merkmale.html
[11:46] <Sysi> what's the name for that device in the output of "lspci"?
[11:47] <Tegal> hmm, unfortunately I
[11:47] <Tegal> I'm at work right now and not on the system
[11:48] <Tegal> was hoping for some general instructions I could try at home tonight
[11:50] <Tegal> but maybe I should log on from the machine this evening
[11:51] <Sysi> basic instruction is to google with "<device name> ubuntu" but I couldn't find any info
[11:52] <xubuntu004> Hi. I want to know if I can install xubuntu with a athlon xp 1700 +, and 256 MB memory PC133?
[11:53] <Sysi> xubuntu004: that RAM is quite little, if you want to use webbrowser or something
[11:53] <Sysi> if you wanna try, lubuntu would be better
[11:53] <xubuntu004> may it run with 256 MB Ram ?
[11:54] <Sysi> should run, can't say how well
[11:55] <xubuntu004> I´m using a lite XP and its toooooooooooooo slow.
[11:56] <xubuntu004> I´ll try it out
[12:00] <Tegal> thanks sysi, maybe I'll log on again tonight when i can access info on the system itself
[12:00] <Sysi> that would be better
[12:11] <Ayazen> good evening
[14:06] <SandJ> 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] <SandJ> (Oops, NOW I spot their 'quit' notice)
[14:41] <qwentin> 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] <holstein> qwentin: check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/8270/how-do-i-install-compiz-in-xubuntu ...especially the "do you really want compiz in xubuntu" ;)

[17:24] <martinphone> HELP AGAIN!! If I install Gnome web photo to use shutter, will i destabilize my xubuntu 12.04?
[17:24] <martinphone> appreciated
[17:26] <SDX> I can't imagine any software from the Precise repositories breaking anything in 12.04.
[17:26] <SDX> You should be fine if you install Shutter through the Software Center.
[17:27] <martinphone> noob question
[18:11] <xubuntu556> Does anybody know if there is a way to get my caculator keyboard shortcut to work in xubuntu?
[18:11] <GridCube> keytouch editor
[18:11] <GridCube> it should simply work btw
[18:12] <GridCube> or maybe not, in any case keytouch editor xubuntu556
[18:12] <xubuntu556> ok, yeah it doesn't work now, but i'm installing keytouch
[18:12] <xubuntu556> thanks!
[18:46] <jrmy> how should I go about learning about how to properly use any linux distro, more so to further my knowledge?
[18:47] <jrmy> learning commands to use with the console would be appealing firstly
[18:47] <jrmy> but I just have no idea how to teach myself anything useful
[18:48] <jrmy> I'm starting to wonder why I care to use linux anymore
[18:48] <Abhijit> hi. whats the keyboard shortcut to invoke the application menu?
[18:48] <Abhijit> like alt f1 in gnome?
[18:48] <jrmy> alt f2
[18:48] <Abhijit> no its not
[18:48] <Abhijit> it brings the run dialog
[18:49] <jrmy> ah, guess I don't know what you're talking about.. I'm a noob myself
[18:49] <jrmy> sorry
[19:25] <f3e> Good evening
[20:34] <Arpad2> hi
[20:36] <Arpad2> xubuntu doesn't see the cd in the odd, after ejecting it and putting it back
[20:38] <Daemonicc> 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] <SandJ> Daemonicc, you need to... oh.  (S)he's gone.
[23:54] <tsalagi1> Hey, I'm installing Xubuntu now. And I was trying to use a keyboard in another language
[23:54] <tsalagi1> But on the next area it asks for my info and it comes out in another language, and so won't accept the input
