[03:25] <lucas> w
[05:42] <slash0mega> ok this is irritating me really badly. I had to reinstall my flash drive version yet again due to it braking somehow, but now, "chmod x- filename" is not working to set as exicutable.... please help
[05:44] <pleia2> slash0mega: your command is a bit mixed up there, are you trying to add or remove the executable bit from the filename?
[05:44] <pleia2> it's either chmod +x or -x (not x-)
[05:44] <slash0mega> add, so i can run it
[05:45] <pleia2> chmod +x filename
[05:45] <slash0mega> well, i have been using -x, just got my keys switched here
[05:45] <pleia2> -x removes it
[05:45] <slash0mega> oy, thank you,
[05:45] <pleia2> welcome :)
[05:47] <slash0mega> it worked, thanks again :D
[05:50] <pleia2> sure
[07:42] <Tengu_> Hello, would anyone know how to bring the login prompt back on Ubuntu Studio? I originally set it up for automatic login, but that is no longer desired.
[07:43] <Unit193> What login manager?  Lightdm or GDM?   If it is lightdm, /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf will have it.
[07:48] <Tengu_> It would seem so, would I change "autologin-user=madadmin" to "autologin-user=false"?
[07:49] <Unit193> Just comment it out with a #
[07:51] <Tengu_> It's claiming to be read only and "You are not the owner, so you cannot change these permissions." Would there be a way to still edit this? I am using an administrator account.
[07:53] <Unit193> What program are you using?  If it is a gui one, open from the terminal like  gksudo gedit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf   or  sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[07:55] <Tengu_> Cheers, the first one worked.
[07:55] <Tengu_> Well, only one way to test. Thanks for the help so far.
[08:01] <Tengu_> Cheers, that worked. You wouldn't happen to know how to turn off the list of users and disable guest users as well?
[08:02] <Unit193> http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/ has part of that.
[08:04] <CellTech> Chromium will not seek/load flash plug in
[08:04] <Tengu_> What was the command again for gedit to edit a read only file?
[08:06] <Sysi> gksudo gedit
[08:06] <Sysi> (if it's not "read only", but owned by root)
[08:07] <CellTech> still seeking chromium assistance
[08:07] <Sysi> CellTech: try this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-enable-flash-support-for-google-chromium-browser.html
[08:09] <Sysi> actually it would probably be better to use ln -s instead of cp
[08:09] <CellTech> Yeah the no free says no such directory or download
[10:12] <livingdaylight> greetings
[10:14] <livingdaylight> my FF got updated and now flash is broken. when go to youtube, etc, reads "missing plugins"
[10:15] <Mathias> tried updating flash?
[10:15] <livingdaylight> why doesn't system updater do it for me - if it updates ff why break it?
[10:24] <livingdaylight> Azelphur: can you help?
[10:38] <baizon> triplepolar: well my flash is gone too :)
[10:39] <triplepolar> baizon: that sux
[10:39] <baizon> triplepolar: didnt had time to check it
[10:39] <baizon> but try to reinstall falsh
[10:39] <baizon> *flash
[10:39] <triplepolar> falsh lol
[10:39] <triplepolar> falsh in german means "wrong"
[10:39] <triplepolar> or "fail"
[10:39] <baizon> =)
[10:41] <triplepolar> man, this is so bogus
[10:41] <baizon> triplepolar: try... http://askubuntu.com/questions/196017/adobe-flash-player-is-not-working-in-12-04
[10:41] <triplepolar> how do I reinstall?
[10:44] <baizon> triplepolar: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[10:45] <triplepolar> that Flash Aid worked - thx
[10:45] <baizon> ok
[10:45] <triplepolar> I don't know whether that is system wide now or just for FF
[10:46] <triplepolar> basically, looks like there is a newer flash version available - the last one for Linux - which the FF update required without bringing it in. In other words the FF update broke my flash as it wasn't compatible with the older version, yet didn't install the newer available one either.
[10:46] <triplepolar> DAS IST BAD
[11:43] <Guest46007> h every one
[11:44] <Guest46007> someone can help me with a remote desktop??
[11:45] <bazhang> help with what
[11:46] <bazhang> Guest46007, why are you crossposting? I was helping you here
[11:47] <Guest46007> i'm wan to connect by remote desktop to the laptop of my girlfriend, we have xubuntu 11.10, but I put the IP number, but it can't connect, I google it, but i can't find a solution
[11:48] <Guest46007> when i configure the protocol, i chosse all options, but don't give the IP address
[11:49] <Guest46007> "let other user control my desktop" don't give me the ip number
[11:49] <Guest46007> do you know why is it?
[11:54] <Guest46007> someone can help me with a remote desktop??
[11:55] <baizon> !ask | Guest46007
[11:55] <Guest46007> sorry
[11:58] <baizon> Guest46007: have you tried this? http://www.ehow.com/how_6980234_enable-xubuntu-remote-desktop.html
[11:59] <baizon> Guest46007: or this http://askubuntu.com/questions/71309/how-do-i-enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-xubuntu-11-10
[12:06] <Guest46007> yes, I tried both, but it dosn't work, when I go to vino-preferences, and choose that other people control my desktop doesn't give me the IP number
[12:09] <baizon> what message do you get when you enable "allow ohter users to control your desktop"?
[12:10] <Guest46007> nothing, don't do nothing, then I close it, open the viewer, tried to connect and say that that the connection is closed
[12:12] <baizon> Guest46007: well what ip did you entered ?
[12:13] <baizon> do you know the ip of the server?
[12:13] <baizon> is the rdp server running?
[12:13] <Guest46007> i search my ip on "www.cualesmiip.com"
[12:14] <Guest46007> i'm not shure if the rdp server is runnig, i install it
[12:14] <baizon> you can get in when you click on "connection information" (network manager)
[12:14] <baizon> Guest46007: open terminal and write: netstat -nl | grep 5900
[12:14] <Guest46007> yes, but this ip it's diferent that the web page give it to me
[12:14] <baizon> if you get something the server is running
[12:15] <baizon> Guest46007: then you have an external and internal network
[12:15] <Guest46007> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5900            0.0.0.0:*               ESCUCHAR
[12:15] <Guest46007> tcp6       0      0 :::5900                 :::*                    ESCUCHAR
[12:15] <baizon> and then a firewall between them
[12:15] <Guest46007> so the server is running, right?
[12:16] <baizon> yes
[12:17] <baizon> your both in the same network?
[12:17] <Guest46007> i tried again, now it's work
[12:17] <baizon> nice :)
[12:17] <Guest46007> could be the server i think
[12:17] <Guest46007> thanks you so much for your help
[12:18] <baizon> np
[12:33] <ner0x> Does apache2 come preinstalled for xubuntu? On a new setup I mean?
[12:33] <Pici> ner0x: no.
[12:34] <ner0x> Pici: I wonder what installed it then. Very odd.
[12:35] <ner0x> Pici: git-web
[12:35] <Pici> ner0x: that sounds like a likely candidate
[12:36] <ner0x> Pici: Just did an uninstall on apache2 and it became "broken". Fair enough.
[14:37] <martinphone> is the command for chromium --> chromium start?
[14:38] <TheSheep> chromium-browser
[14:38] <TheSheep> that's because there is also a video game by the same name
[14:43] <martinphone> a, is it a good one?
[17:02] <xubuntu888> xubuntu doesnt finalyse install i'wait 10 minutes ?
[17:03] <xubuntu888> is it normal ?
[17:03] <recon_lap> xubuntu888: not normaly
[17:04] <xubuntu888> what can i do  ?
[17:04] <recon_lap> xubuntu888: you should normally see something happening? is anything happening?
[17:05] <recon_lap> xubuntu888: and did you try boot to a live session without install ? did it manage to boot to the live session?
[17:06] <xubuntu888> yes i try before and the decide to install i am now in live cession
[17:06] <xubuntu888> i have on screan the xubuntu information page open and wait
[17:07] <xubuntu888> ok thanks i try to reinstall
[17:07] <recon_lap> xubuntu888: so you stopped the install before it finished?
[17:07] <xubuntu888> no
[17:09] <xubuntu888> ok i stop the install and reinstall it
[17:10] <xubuntu888> i thing i forgot in partion the boot /
[17:10] <xubuntu888> the flag
[17:10] <recon_lap> xubuntu888: well, give it another go, we here if you get stuck again
[18:07] <xubuntu821> hi!
[18:08] <xubuntu821> I've a problem with xubuntu ...
[18:09] <recon_lap> !hi | xubuntu821
[18:09] <xubuntu821> thanks
[18:10] <xubuntu821> the problem with title bare
[18:10] <xubuntu821> bar
[18:11] <xubuntu821> I can't to enlarge the title bar
[18:11] <xubuntu821> only caraters
[18:12] <xubuntu821> only the character of the title
[18:12] <recon_lap> xubuntu821:  funny, I have that problem to :)
[18:13] <xubuntu821> u risolve it?
[18:13] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: no, I just live with it, maybe someone else knows a solution.
[18:14] <xubuntu821> Is there a forum for xubuntu problems?
[18:15] <Sysi> xubuntu821: use different theme
[18:16] <Sysi> titlebar height is harcoded into themes
[18:16] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: this is the xubuntu irc channel for problems by the way
[18:16] <xubuntu821> in ubuntu when you enlarge character title too
[18:17] <recon_lap> with xubuntu that is.
[18:17] <Sysi> different window manager
[18:17] <xubuntu821> i try....
[18:18] <Sysi> ubuntuforums should have a section for xubuntu
[18:19] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: seems that the answer is to change the title height value in the theme that you are using in your window manager
[18:21] <xubuntu821> where I found this value?
[18:21] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: I'm looking
[18:22] <Sysi> hint: it's the height of pixmaps in the theme folder if I'm not badly mistaken
[18:22] <Sysi> some themes maybe could have something in themerc
[18:25] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: ok the themes are in /usr/share/themes , keeps looking
[18:25] <recon_lap> ls
[18:25] <xubuntu821> folder : usr/share?
[18:26] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: there is no graphically way to set this, so we have to find the correct place in the correct file to make the change
[18:27] <xubuntu821> The fact that this pc with xubuntu uses my mother that we see very little she is 75 years old
[18:27] <Sysi> recon_lap: or the twenty files
[18:29] <recon_lap> xubuntu821: have you look at adding a magnifying glass?
[18:31] <xubuntu821> no because she looks only 2/3 web portals and I set the browser enlarging. The only problem and find the controls in the window title bar
[18:59] <martinphone> does any of you use sap.ecc?
[19:37] <the3giron> some italians op?
[19:38] <Pici> the3giron: What?
[19:38] <the3giron> someone who speaks italian? XD
[19:39] <Pici> the3giron: try #ubuntu-it
[19:39] <the3giron> thank you
[22:07] <rrttii> hello, i am having trouble getting to the default xfce log in screen, after a graphics drive installation from Additional Drivers. I am having to log in via CTRL
[22:07] <rrttii> command line, and using startx
[22:08] <TheSheep> the logs are in /var/logs/, you can display them with the less command in terminal
[22:08] <TheSheep> /var/log/ sorry
[22:08] <recon_lap> rrttii: you try remove the graphics driver?
[22:09] <rrttii> recon_lap, not yet, just updating as recommended. if i uninstall, then i will be stuck with 800x600, the same drivers work perfectly fine on linux mint :(
[22:09] <rrttii> running updates from update manager, to see if this fixes anything
[22:20] <rrttii> right time for a restart and see if it made any differene
[22:20] <rrttii> difference*
[22:23] <rrttii> no change after restart, gfx obviously working, as i am on it now, after manually logging in and using startx. the splash screen shows, then disappears, then just a flashing cursor top left hand corner
[22:24] <holstein> rrttii: i would be interested in what kernel mint was using when it supported the hardware
[22:25] <rrttii> hmm, not too sure, but was on linux mint 13 mate
[22:27] <recon_lap> would it be true that setting nomodeset just disables the graphics driver?
[22:28] <rrttii> im just confused how if i log in via command line and use startx, its perfectly fine. but i cannot get to the gui login screen when machine first powers on, and have to revert to command line, this is a clean install, and only happened since additional driver install
[22:29] <recon_lap> rrttii: not sure, but this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation
[22:32] <tete> hello, anyone experienced with xrandr?
[22:33] <holstein> i use arandr sometimes
[22:33] <ochosi> you can hopefully use the xfce-display-dialog soon :)
[22:33] <tete> holstein: the gui program? is very easy but it is impossible to set the external on the left of the main!
[22:34] <ochosi> tete: it's easy with xrandr
[22:34] <recon_lap> tete: thats how i've mine set up
[22:34] <ochosi> tete: could you do an "xrandr -q" and pastebin the output please?
[22:34] <tete> ochosi: i been fighting with xrandr but i can set the primary monitor property
[22:35] <ochosi> tete: what would you set that for?
[22:35] <tete> "xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1" puts the external on the right, when it is in the elft
[22:36] <tete> if i set "xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1" it sets the external monitor as the primary
[22:36] <rrttii> thanks recon_lap will give that a look now
[22:36] <tete> LVDS1 is the laptop monitor, and VGA1 is external monitor, phisically VGA1 is on the left
[22:36] <ochosi> tete: ok, i guess you're mainly talking about the panel, right?
[22:36] <tete> ochosi: did not get what you ask
[22:37] <ochosi> tete: well, setting the primary screen usually means for people that the panel would appear on that screen
[22:38] <tete> ochosi: oh yes! the  problem i have now is to set the primary screen
[22:39] <ochosi> tete: ok, in that respect i have to disappoint you: the xfce panel doesn't respect the primary-monitor-property of xrandr yet
[22:39] <tete> ochosi: i get in on the left monitor, when i want it in the monitor of the right (center)
[22:39] <ochosi> tete: so you'll have to manually move your panel back to your internal monitor. it's not hard though, just edit and drag....
[22:39] <rrttii> recon_lap, that made no difference unfortunately :(
[22:40] <recon_lap> rrttii: o well :(
[22:40] <tete> ochosi: oh.. what a bummer, the closest i am is setting "xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of LVDS1" but i have to move the mouse on the right to go to the left monitor
[22:40] <knome> tete, --left-of?
[22:41] <ochosi> tete: just move the panel, "primary" doesn't mean much more than this usually
[22:41] <tete> knome: it i put --left-of, the panel goes to the external monitor
[22:42] <knome> oh right, panel stuff. yeah, as ochosi said, just move the panel :)
[22:42] <ochosi> i already talked to the panel devs and probably we'll get it implemented for 4.12, but it'll take a while before that lands in xubuntu
[22:42] <tete> the panel to other monitor?
[22:42] <ochosi> maybe 13.10
[22:43] <toaster_> software center crashes when i try to install google earth 32bit .deb
[22:43] <recon_lap> there are some bugs as far as i can see, if you maximize a window it will go behind a vertical panel
[22:46] <recon_lap> but maybe i'v it setup wrong
[22:47] <tete> ochosi: so bad, will wait then... i almost got it, the only issue now is that i have to move the move to right to go the monitor is in the left.. i think i may get acostumed
[22:48] <ochosi> tete: so you really don't want to manually move the panel?
[22:48] <tete> ochosi: how can i do that?
[22:49] <rrttii> its the cedar trail drm driver in dkms format, that seems to be causing the issue, when removed, i get the log in screen perfectly fine, but my resolution suffers..
[22:49] <ochosi> tete: right-click the panel > panel properties > untick "lock panel", then click-and-drag to move the panel
[22:49] <ochosi> tete: then lock it again and close the dialog. done.
[22:50] <toaster_> has any one else had trouble installing google earth 32bit stable on the updated Ubuntu Software Center?
[22:54] <tete> ochosi: oh thanks!! one last question before getting crazy, if move the panel, and then the monitor where they are present is not plugged anymore.. they get back to the other monitor?
[22:54] <tete> ochosi: or maybe get them back with xfce4-settings-manager
[22:54] <ochosi> tete: yes, that should work. but the next time you connect that external monitor, you might have to move it again
[22:55] <ochosi> tete: but you can try a trick and save you panel-settings-file and then just restore it (with a script)
[22:57] <tete> ochosi: ok, later i will investigate the trick you mention, thanks much!
[22:57] <recon_lap> tete: I'v found that if you unplug the monitor the panels will switch back, but will not change size. can make them unuseable
[22:58] <tete> recon_lap: luckyly both monitor have the same resolution
[22:58] <tete> lets see what happen
[22:58] <ochosi> tete: no problem :) (look in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/.. for the panel.xml file)
[23:00] <tete> when i unplug, half of the panel dissapears, like it goes the width of two monitors haha anyway i will do ochosi said of restoring the config profile, been very helpful :)
