[00:14] <Mathsterk> sunz: never had that problem, maybe it's a skype problem?
[00:20] <sunz> Mathsterk, yes it maybe a skype problem, i dont know
[07:51] <Dekline> ive gotten spotify to work in wine but the sound for it is all messed up.. the only directions i cudnt follow was where it told me to enable OSS for the sound driver, but there was no list of drivers. Any help?
[07:54] <knome> when i last used spotify with wine, it worked fine with pulseaudio
[07:57] <Dekline> i have no options for any specific drivers really, its all on system default which is,'winealsa.drv'
[07:58] <Dekline> there are no options to chane the driver
[07:59] <knome> that should work... i don't have spotify installed right now, so i can't check though
[08:00] <knome> you are able to get help from #ubuntu too, since this is not a xubuntu-specific issue, and/or you can try the ubuntu forums and askubuntu.com
[08:41] <kvarley> I just upgraded to XFCE 4.10 in XUbuntu 12.04 and now my top panel is messed up. It looks like this http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/panelmessedupxfce410.php how can I fix it?
[08:43] <Sysi> I guess you want to add separator on the right side of window buttons and set it to expand
[08:43] <kvarley> Sysi: Heh, that's done it. Thanks so much! =]
[08:44] <Sysi> np
[08:48] <mi3> hello
[08:49] <mi3> I have installed cairo-dock on my xfce but I cant find the applications menu, any suggestions ?
[09:21] <kvarley> mi3: Menu -> System
[09:26] <kvarley> mi3: Is it there?
[09:56] <Marzata> kvarley: you got a crash too
[09:58] <kvarley> Marzata: I seem to get them a lot with every flavour of Ubuntu 12.04
[10:00] <Marzata> me too but 12.04 developers don't believe this
[10:01] <kvarley> Marzata: Hmmm, it's definitely 12.04 related. Prior to 12.04 I only ever had application crashes and they were very rare!
[10:02] <Marzata> kvarley: I have never had any in xubuntu prior 12.04
[10:03] <knome> Marzata, huh?
[10:03] <Marzata> What about ntp? Working?
[10:03] <knome> Marzata, if you have filed a bug for it?
[10:17] <v1adimir> running BleachBit seems to have disabled flash cookies (like the ones for storing Google search preferences) in Firefox 13.0.1 on Precise 12.04 -- anyone know anything about that perhaps? (i haven't looked for the cause yet, just noticed the preferences won't stick on browser restart)
[10:56] <joeress> hello everyone
[11:27] <pAt_> hello joeress
[11:27] <joeress> hi
[13:41] <Kagee> I use two screens, and want identical panels on both - is there a easy way to copy the configuration to new panels?
[14:31] <xubuntu516> hello I'm installing xubunto on VMware fusion. while in the installation process i notices there is no root password prompt
[14:31] <xubuntu516> is this normal? do i have an oportunity to set it latter on?
[14:32] <Kagee> xubuntu516: Ubuntu and deratives do not use a root password
[14:32] <Kagee> xubuntu516: they use sudo to grant root acces through autorised users passwords
[14:32] <xubuntu516> no super user password?
[14:33] <Kagee> root has no password, so it is impossible to login as root.
[14:33] <xubuntu516> got it
[14:33] <Kagee> the the first created user can do root tasks through sudo or su.
[14:34] <xubuntu516> its my first time on ubuntu, thank you for the help
[14:34] <xubuntu516> i will try that
[14:45] <Sysi> 12.04 refuses to log in on any user, removed .cache and .ICEauthority and reinstalled xorg, lightdm and graphics driver
[14:47] <Sysi> no errors in Xorg.0.log, .xsession-errors doesn't get created
[14:49] <Sysi> awwh right, /home is full, didn't remember I had that separate this time
[16:58] <TheLordOfTime> does Xubuntu use GNOME keyring by default?
[17:59] <craigbass1976> is there a way to make a window transparent?  I need to compare a google map and an open street map, but I need to see one overlaid over the other, and don't want to use another program.  Plus, I'd rather just have them both open in browsers so I can keep moving around within the maps.
[18:00] <GridCube> yes, you can by switching compositions
[18:00] <GridCube> you could, like put the image you want to compare as the backdrop image for the desktopn
[18:00] <GridCube> and make the window transparency higher
[18:00] <Kagee> craigbass1976: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/ ?
[18:02] <craigbass1976> Kagee, No, I need one over the other, not beside one another
[18:02] <GridCube> craigbass1976, have you read what i said?
[18:02] <Kagee> That sounds dangeroius.
[18:04] <craigbass1976> GridCube, Oh, nope.  I saw the link from Kagee.  What you say would make ALL of my windows rather transparent, right?
[18:04] <GridCube> the inactive ones, yes
[18:08] <GridCube> craigbass1976, http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-080712-150534.php
[18:18] <craigbass1976> Moot point now...  I can see satellite imagery if I log into openstreetmaps and edit a map that way.  Thanks though; I imagine this might come in handy somewhere else down the line.
[18:19] <Kagee> hmm? Bing imagery has been avalible for å long time.
[18:19] <Kagee> craigbass1976: you are not allowed to trace from google sattelite imagery
[18:21] <craigbass1976> Kagee, I wasn't trying to trace.  63 Washington Street in Limerick Maine is showing up as way down the road from where it actually is.  I wanted to have a map on the resident's website that I'm making where the ACTUAL location is pinned.  Here it is: http://doopensource.com/limtran/contact/   I wanted a satellite map underneath the regular openstreetmaps map so I could find his building.  All set now though, as the openstreetmap editing tool used fai
[18:21] <craigbass1976> rly up to date satellite imagery.
[18:22] <craigbass1976> Kagee, plus Bing is MS, and I just don't go there except when I think I might stab my eyes out anyway...
[18:22] <Kagee> then i suggest you update OSM and add the building and road :)
[18:22] <Kagee> craigbass1976: the satellite imagery OSM uses is Bing imagery
[18:23] <craigbass1976> I saw that...  :(
[18:23] <GridCube> craigbass1976, :) if you dont matter can we take this to #xubuntu-offtopic, this is hardly xubuntu related :)
[18:23] <craigbass1976> I'm all done GridCube
[18:23] <GridCube> :) ok
[18:23] <GridCube> good luck
[18:24] <craigbass1976> Other than...  I instlled regular ubuntu 12.04 on this box a while ago, installed xub when I couldn't stand Unity anymore, and I still get the regular looking ubuntu login screen.  I think there's something left.  What's the default xub dm?
[18:32] <GridCube> craigbass1976, the same
[18:33] <GridCube> xubuntu's login screen aint that pretty yet, next editions will be tho :D
[18:38] <craigbass1976> GridCube, there just seems to be a wicked lag going from the screen to being logged in, and I wondered if there were some conflict.  I don't have the issue on my laptop which received a fresh xub 12.04 install.
[18:42] <astraljava> craigbass1976: Once you get xubuntu-default-settings installed, you need to update alternatives and select the xubuntu-specific greeter conf.
[18:48] <craigbass1976> how do I get the network going before I log in?  What about getting onto my wireless network?  I sometimes need something on my laptop at home, and don't want to give the babysitter my password.
[18:50] <astraljava> craigbass1976: You'd have to lose NetworkManager and put the relevant config info into /etc/network/interfaces.
[18:51] <craigbass1976> And then if I went to a hotel and tried to get on their wireless, would that be a PITA?
[18:51] <Sysi> going to network options and enabling connection for all users might work too
[18:53] <craigbass1976> I remember having trouble in 10.04 (I did somehow make the network come up at boot -- perhaps via the method astraljava recommends) and I wonder if that's why.  If I shut the lid at home, then cracked it back open at the library, it wouldn't get online and kept thinking it was connecting to my home network.  Reboot usually fixed it
[18:53] <astraljava> craigbass1976: Try Sysi's approach first.
[18:54] <astraljava> Also there's wicd (I think), but am not sure whether it has this feature or not.
[18:55] <Sysi> there's been a lot of development happening for networkmanager, I've heard enabling that option can make wireless work automatically even when not starting Xorg
[18:55] <astraljava> Sounds good.
[20:01] <Lecram> Help- Installed an inf file without the system file. How can I undo to start over or get the sys file installed?
[20:03] <Lecram> Need he lp fixing inf install
[20:18] <xubuntu_> hi all having problems with Dload speeds, tests range from 1Mbps to 6.5Mbps  (0KB/sec up to 800 KB/s) ISP have carried out line checks (everything OK) could it be flash player not working with the tests as it no longer supports linux?, any other ideas?
[20:19] <xubuntu_> hi all having problems with Dload speeds, tests range from 1Mbps to 6.5Mbps  (0KB/sec up to 800 KB/s) ISP have carried out line checks (everything OK) could it be flash player not working with the tests as it no longer supports linux?, any other ideas?
[20:19] <xubuntu_> sorry for the spam
[20:22] <astraljava> xubuntu_: Test another machine; test another networking interface; test another network cable; see whether packages are dropping.
[20:24] <xubuntu_> thanks astraljava will give that a try
[21:24] <Thrawn> good evening everyone :-)
[21:25] <Thrawn> I have a quick question: I just bought an SSD disk of 90GB, what's the best mount point for it? like, /home/ or /usr/bin ?
[21:25] <Thrawn> like, what's the most accessed  path? so I can optimize I/O speed :-)
[21:26] <Sysi> /
[21:26] <Thrawn> and the other HDD will point like to /tmp /home and /data ?
[21:26] <Thrawn> ok
[21:26] <Thrawn> thanks :-)
[21:26] <Sysi> /home or /random/data for HDD you may have left
[21:26] <Sysi> np
[21:27] <Thrawn> will do then. thanks again
[21:28] <Sysi> if you have plenty of ram, might point /tmp to tmpfs
[21:28] <Thrawn> I will also put the swap space on it
[21:28] <Thrawn> makes sense
[22:01] <xubuntu399> hi I have an old p3 laptop I am dooing for a friend so I have chosen xubuntu as an os can eny one tell me how to customize it so its got more of a winblows user style

[22:34] <Mtn-Man-> hello guys:  how do I enable the  home/super/windows key on my keyboard to pull down the xfce applications menu?  thx
[22:38] <ToZ> Mtn-Man-, make a shortcut to the application "xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu" in Settings->ketboard->application sfortcuts
[22:38] <ToZ> make that Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts
[22:39] <Mtn-Man-> is keyboard under settings editor?
[22:39] <ToZ> yes
[22:39] <ToZ> sorry, Settings Manager
[22:41] <Mtn-Man-> ok i see
[22:41] <Mtn-Man-> ok i found it; it currently is set to ctrl esc
[22:41] <ToZ> then Ctrl ESC should work
[22:42] <ToZ> if you want it to come up with the windows key, then add a new shortcut
[22:42] <Mtn-Man-> ok so how do i make the super key work instead
[22:42] <Mtn-Man-> ok add a shortcut
[22:42] <ToZ> Click "Add"
[22:42] <ToZ> type in "xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu"
[22:43] <ToZ> click "ok"
[22:43] <Mtn-Man-> where is add?
[22:43] <ToZ> press the windows key
[22:43] <Mtn-Man-> is that the layout tab in the keyboard window?
[22:43] <ToZ> are you in the Keyboard settings editor, "application shortcuts" tab?
[22:43] <ToZ> application shortcuts tab
[22:43] <Mtn-Man-> now i am
[22:43] <Mtn-Man-> there's no add button for that tab
[22:44] <ToZ> scroll down a bit?
[22:44] <Mtn-Man-> ah ok i double clcik i c
[22:44] <ToZ> what version of Xfce are you using?
[22:44] <Mtn-Man-> urp dunno
[22:45] <ToZ> do you see the add button?
[22:45] <Mtn-Man-> 4.6.1
[22:46] <ToZ> do you have an add button?
[22:48] <Mtn-Man-> the only add button in thekeyboard dialog box  is inthe tab marked 'layout' you have to uncheck 'use system defaults' to access it
[22:48] <Mtn-Man-> add button for 'keyboard layout'
[22:48] <ToZ> its in the applications shortcut tab. Try maximizing the window - it may be hidden below
[22:49] <Mtn-Man-> ok
[22:49] <Mtn-Man-> thx found it
[22:49] <Mtn-Man-> ok 'shortcut command' opens up
[22:50] <Mtn-Man-> put xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu in the add field?
[22:50] <ToZ> type in (no quotes) "xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu"
[22:52] <ToZ> actually, in 4.6 it may be "xfce4-popup-menu". Maybe try it first in the terminal window to see which one it is
[22:52] <dbdii407> My xUbuntu install doesn't boot up correctly. My monitor's keep saying it doesn't support such a resolution.
[22:52] <dbdii407> Anyone happen to know a solution?
[22:52] <Mtn-Man-> taht's the correct one, the menu popped up when i use ctrl esc
[22:52] <dbdii407> monitors* sorry.
[22:52] <Mtn-Man-> toz
[22:53] <ToZ> dbdii407, more info about your computer? make/model, video card...
[22:53] <Mtn-Man-> so how do i change or add a super/windows key shortcut?
[22:53] <ToZ> Mtn-Man-, which one? xfce4-popup-menu?
[22:53] <dbdii407> ToZ, My niece is using the live disk at the moment. It's using the nvidia drivers.
[22:54] <dbdii407> It's a custom build
[22:54] <dbdii407> from a friend of mine
[22:54] <dbdii407> Heck, it does Arch Linux great.
[22:54] <ToZ> dbdii407, try booting with the nomodeset boot option and then installing the proprietary drivers.
[22:55] <Mtn-Man-> toz:  yes
[22:55] <Mtn-Man-> xfce4-popup-menu
[22:55] <dbdii407> ToZ, How would I go upon setting that up?
[22:55] <ToZ> Mtn-Man-, on the application shortcut tab, click "Add", enter "xfce4-popup-me", click "ok", press the windows key
[22:55] <Mtn-Man-> ok that's more clear thx
[22:55] <Mtn-Man-> one sec
[22:56] <ToZ> dbdii407, look at the section labelled "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)" on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[22:56] <Mtn-Man-> yea! thx
[22:56] <ToZ> Mtn-Man-, no worries
[22:57] <Mtn-Man-> yea!!!
[22:57] <Mtn-Man-> thx so much
[22:57] <Mtn-Man-> that's the first time i enable the super key in linux
[22:57] <Mtn-Man-> *headspin*
[22:58] <ToZ> dbdii407, general plan is to boot with nomodeset to get generic video, install proprietary drivers using the "Additional Drivers" utility, and reboot to activate them
[22:58] <Mtn-Man-> many thx toz, ttyl
[22:58] <ToZ> dbdii407, however, I've been reading alot about problems with nvidia cards and 12.04 - I don't have nvidia card to test
[22:59] <ToZ> dbdii407, which nvidia card?
[23:04] <dbdii407> ToZ, I wish the terminal would come up. xD
[23:05] <ToZ> what do you mean?
[23:05] <ToZ> Are you trying to start it from the applications menu or the launcher?
[23:06] <ToZ> or do you mean the grub screen?
[23:06] <dbdii407> ToZ, I'm using the live disk and it's slow
[23:06] <dbdii407> anyway, GeForce 6100 motherboard
[23:07] <dbdii407> ToZ, Onboard video on that motherboard
[23:09] <ToZ> dbdii407, Have a look at post #6 from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2014164&highlight=Geforce+6100
[23:10] <ToZ> sorry, make that post #8.
[23:10] <ToZ> I think this will help you
[23:10] <dbdii407> I can't get to a terminal window
[23:11] <ToZ> from the livecd?
[23:31] <dbdii407> ToZ: I love you! Thanks
[23:31] <ToZ> i'm guessing it worked?
[23:33] <dbdii407> Yep
[23:33] <dbdii407> Ty
[23:33] <ToZ> no worries
