| KombuchaKip | CellTech: Good question. I actually had that happen to me too recently. | 04:16 |
| KombuchaKip | CellTech: My guess is X or the login manager might be crashing and I would check a log to see why, but not sure which one in /var/log/ | 04:16 |
| CellTech | I'l check that out. Thanks | 04:17 |

| Slendertron | Hello | 09:51 |
| Slendertron | I'm having a problem install Xubuntu 12.10 Alpha 3 | 09:51 |
| Slendertron | *installing | 09:51 |
| Slendertron | When it comes to copying files | 09:52 |
| Slendertron | About 2/5 of the way through, the whole installer just freezes. | 09:52 |
| Slendertron | Then shortly afterwards tells me there was an error, then [Errno 5]Input/output error | 09:53 |
| Slendertron | I know that the disc I'm using works fine | 09:53 |
| Slendertron | So... any ideas? | 09:53 |

| uberamd | has anyone tried GW2 in wine? | 13:44 |
| quazimodo | why doesnt .xinitrc or .xsession run when I log in? | 13:44 |
| quazimodo | is it a lightdm thing | 13:44 |
| quazimodo | or an xfce thing | 13:44 |

| quazimodo | anyone? | 13:46 |
| uberamd | quaz, somehting like: http://askubuntu.com/questions/77191/how-can-i-use-lightdm-for-user-defined-sessions | 13:54 |
| uberamd | Do any of you fine folks know of a way to do display all windows as a grid, much like OS X does it? | 16:05 |
| uberamd | I find that having 10 terminal windows and 5 browsers open makes alt-tabbing a tedious affair | 16:05 |
| holstein | uberamd: i use virtual workspaces in both.. even in OSX.. do you have a screenshot of what you are going fot? | 16:07 |
| holstein | for* | 16:07 |
| uberamd | essentially just this: http://blog.grapii.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/mac-osx-expose.jpg | 16:08 |
| uberamd | i know it was possible with compiz in Ubuntu, but I haven't touched compiz in a while | 16:08 |
| holstein | uberamd: there was an expose in compiz that i used.. i dont consider it worth the hassle in XFCE | 16:08 |
| uberamd | holstein: Same here, I'm trying to stay away from Compiz and all the crap it brings with it. | 16:09 |
| mips1911 | uberamd, there is a utility that functions similar to expose. I had it installed a long time ago on my laptop which has minimal space but I can't remember it's name. Worked well, | 16:09 |
| holstein | you can look into other compositing.. http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/17196/cairo-compositing-manager030-and-expose/ for example | 16:09 |
| holstein | mips1911: with cario? that was all i had seen in a quick search | 16:10 |
| mips1911 | holstein not sure as I can't remember | 16:10 |
| holstein | mips1911: me either.. i just briefly tried cario, and decided it wasnt worth the hassle either, though quite nice | 16:11 |
| uberamd | I'll do some digging into that, thanks for the info guys :) | 16:11 |
| mips1911 | holstein, I had it on my old arch install | 16:12 |
| lucetto | hi everybody, i'm neewbie. i need help 'cause i cante rotate upside down my monitor. In visualization options window it appear rotation button but nothing appear when i click on it. i can change resolution and frequency but not rotation. i've tried xandr command on shell but nothing. o u maybe have some suggenstions??? thanks | 16:13 |
| mips1911 | Just found it, was called Skippy | 16:14 |
| mips1911 | uberamd it was called Skippy and I used it with openbox | 16:14 |
| uberamd | mips1911: thanks! I'll look into that | 16:16 |
| mips1911 | uberamd also have a look for Expocity | 16:16 |
| mips1911 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Expocity | 16:16 |
| mips1911 | anybody know why I can't see wbar when I launch it from cli? | 17:09 |
| holstein | mips1911: i used to start xbar, and it would say something about "super bar present" ? i would look for the errors and see what they mean | 17:29 |
| mips1911 | holstein, thx but I found a newer 2.3 version on the google code site that works but how do I configure this thing as I can't find wbar-config | 17:36 |
| holstein | mips1911: mabye the new version doesnt support it?... | 17:37 |
| mips1911 | holstein, well I could not find it for the 1.3.3 version from the repos either. | 17:37 |
| holstein | i think i just edited a config file... i stopped using "bars" when i started using kupfer (after liking gnome-do) | 17:39 |
| uberamd | Anyone know of a way to force an alt-tab for apps that seem to capture the cursor/keyboard? | 17:50 |
| uberamd | I can do an Alt-F9 but I don't really want to hide the window just to make it lose focus | 17:50 |
| holstein | uberamd: other than clicking on them? | 17:50 |
| TheSheep | uberamd: alt+ctrl+grey * | 17:51 |
| uberamd | this is a game, so i can't move the mouse from my primary display to the second display | 17:51 |
| holstein | can you specify something inside the game? | 17:51 |
| uberamd | holstein: I can in Windows and OS X. Its called "Exclusive Mode", turning that off allows the game to alt-tab but remain on the screen. In Linux there is no such option :-/ | 17:52 |
| uberamd | I've been doing Alt-F9 but it makes it so I can't see whats going on in game while interacting with my other windows which is a bit of a pain | 17:52 |
| holstein | maybe you need a gaming keyboard profile? | 17:52 |
| TheSheep | uberamd: alt+ctrl+grey * should release the mouse cursor | 17:53 |
| uberamd | TheSheep: Pardon my noobness, whats "grey" | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | uberamd: it's a color | 17:53 |
| TheSheep | you have a normal '*' key, and a grey one on your keyboard | 17:53 |
| holstein | im not sure i understand what that means either TheSheep ... is that a function key? | 17:54 |
| uberamd | ah, my keyboard is all one color so that explains how I missed the meaning | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | holstein: no, it's a grey key with a '*' printed on it | 17:54 |
| uberamd | I'll give that a shot when I can, cheers | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | uberamd: the grey one is the one on the numpad | 17:54 |
| uberamd | TheSheep: Thanks :) | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | if you have a broken keyboard :P | 17:54 |
| uberamd | Apple keyboard so yeah, broken ;) | 17:54 |
| TheSheep | ouch | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | my condolences | 17:55 |
| uberamd | I can thank my employer for that one. Worst $60 ever spent | 17:55 |
| TheSheep | ayup | 17:56 |
| uberamd | They also got me a retina macbook pro which is awesome, but Linux support is lacking | 17:57 |
| uberamd | Though I'm running xubuntu in a VM spanned across two displays and I can't even tell it isn't native which is nice | 17:57 |
| TheSheep | I tried that, but in the end, when my ssd drive died, I just installed xubuntu over the macosx | 17:58 |
| TheSheep | and had a 30% boost in productivity since | 17:59 |
| TheSheep | and 80% boost in happiness | 17:59 |
| uberamd | you can't put a value on the boost in happiness, thats for sure | 18:02 |

| vn | hi, I upgraded a Lucid box to precise (12.04.1) recently, but my system switched to chinese, I'm looking in locale config files...all en_CA like it should, but if I type locale, LANG and LANGAGE = zh_CN, how can I get rid of these chinese configs? | 20:06 |
| equex | i am running xubuntu 10.04 in vmware (with addons) and i seem not to be able to get more than 1600x1200 resolution and that clips of the task bar. have to use 1440x1050 to see the whole desktop properly. i got the full 1920x1080 in regular ubuntu 10.04. i take it resolutions are controlled by xrandr now and not xorg.conf anymore, but can i change this ? | 20:07 |
| knome | vn 'export LC_ALL=en_ca' ? | 20:07 |
| vn | root@zzyzx:~# export LC_ALL=en_CA | 20:08 |
| vn | -bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_CA): No such file or directory | 20:08 |

| knome | oh, right, en_CA.utf8 ? | 20:08 |
| saschakb | sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales | 20:09 |
| vn | did that one already saschakb | 20:09 |
| Sysi | vn: select right locale in login window | 20:09 |
| vn | export LC_ALL=en_CA.UTF-8 worked, but how do I flush the chinese? its still there and dont want it | 20:10 |
| vn | ok im remote in console atm | 20:10 |

| vn | looks like that | 20:14 |
| saschakb | vn: did you have english on you're system before upgrade (not only english-canada)? Reading some pages, it sounds like not having english on a system before upgading triggers this bug. | 20:17 |
| vn | saschakb: afaik, I only had canadian english... | 20:18 |
| saschakb | Well, try installing english, too, restart the machine - and I guess ... you're system should run normal again. | 20:19 |

| tech1 | how can i run a program fullscreen from terminal? | 22:57 |
| holstein | tech1: i use F11 to full screen the terminal | 22:57 |
| tech1 | no i mean run a program from the terminal fullscreen with a command.... like firefox FULLSCREEN | 22:57 |
| drc | That would probably depend on the app. | 23:00 |
| tech1 | ahhhh... "xterm -fullscreen" did it.. but too much fullscreen..... it hid my menu bars and everything | 23:00 |
| tech1 | the app i want to run fullscreen is emacs | 23:00 |
| tech1 | but not hiding my menu bars... full screen as in wndow maximised so it aligns to the panels/menu bars at the edge | 23:01 |
| holstein | i dont see -fullscreen or -geometry in -help | 23:01 |
| holstein | running firefox -help | 23:01 |
| drc | If no one here knows, try #emacs. They should. | 23:01 |
| tech1 | ok | 23:02 |

| xubuntu803 | I am experiencing an odd issue on two separate installations of Xubuntu 12.04. Thunar is extremely slow to load, and not just on the first load for the session either. I mean, it is slow to load all the time, each and every time I attempt to load it. Something simple like opening my home directory takes ages. | 23:17 |
| xubuntu803 | I have a desktop and laptop with a fresh Xubuntu installation, and they both suffer from the same issue. Both have non-encrypted home directories for now, and it did not correct the issue at all. | 23:18 |
| drc | xubuntu803: Try un-installing gvfs-backend. | 23:19 |
| drc | unless needed, of course. | 23:19 |
| xubuntu803 | Would would the repercussions of removing this package be? | 23:19 |
| xubuntu803 | Just the loss of connectivity among specific protocols? | 23:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu803: temporarily not having it... you can put it back | 23:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu803: might be worth checking for and applying upgrades before testing any further.. assuming you havent | 23:20 |
| xubuntu803 | E: Unable to locate package gvfs-backend | 23:20 |
| drc | My guess, if you don't know, nothing...but see the entry in synaptic as to what exactly does. | 23:21 |
| drc | opps...backendS...plural....sorry | 23:21 |
| xubuntu803 | That corrected the issue. | 23:22 |
| drc | :) | 23:22 |
| xubuntu803 | it seems the only drawback is losing support for network shares and the like in Thunar, which isn't a huge deal. | 23:25 |
| xubuntu803 | So, it looks like this will be a solution that suits me. | 23:25 |
| xubuntu803 | Thanks for the help. | 23:25 |
