| gggs | just installed xubuntu, think I've found a bug already | 11:25 |
| Silence- | gggs: And whats that? | 11:25 |
| gggs | in settings->keyboard->application shortcuts, if you change a shortcut to a key combination that already exists and choose `Use X' (left option), it doesn't change the conflicting shortcut | 11:28 |
| gggs | then, if you have a number of shortcuts using the same key combination and try to delete one of them, it will only ever delete the FIRST one, HIGHER on the list | 11:28 |
| gggs | steps to reproduce: 'Reset to defaults'; change one or more shortcuts to an existing combination; attempt to delete a shortcut other than the earliest one | 11:30 |
| gggs | possible workaround: delete all conflicting shortcuts first | 11:33 |
| gggs | otherwise I'm impressed, didn't take long to configure the desktop the way I wanted | 11:45 |
| Jonne_ | hey, i just upgraded xubuntu to 12.10, but i have an issue with firefox not starting unless i type firefox directly in a terminal | 12:15 |
| Jonne_ | if i start it through the launcher i get 2 firefox processes, one of which is <defunct> | 12:15 |
| nicekiwi | hey, i installed osme updates and rebooted and the window manager didnt load.. help? | 12:18 |
| nicekiwi | as in ihave no window borders | 12:18 |
| knome | nicekiwi, alt+f2 -> run xfwm4 | 12:18 |
| xubuntu514 | ANYone manage to get steam linux beta working on xubuntu ? | 12:18 |
| nicekiwi | knome, that had no effect | 12:19 |
| nicekiwi | xubuntu514, yes. | 12:19 |
| nicekiwi | knome, oh oh wait it did | 12:20 |
| nicekiwi | yay | 12:20 |
| nicekiwi | knome, ty | 12:21 |
| xubuntu514 | thankyou | 12:21 |
| knome | nicekiwi, no problem | 12:21 |
| Jonne_ | which firefox.desktop file is actually used to run it in xubuntu? the one in /usr/share/xfce4/helpers or the one in /usr/share/applications? | 12:22 |
| knome | Jonne_, the launcher in the bottom panel is actually calling an exo launcher for the default web browser | 12:22 |
| Jonne_ | that's not the one i'm talking about (don't have the bottom panel) | 12:23 |
| Jonne_ | i mean the one in the application menu | 12:23 |
| Jonne_ | internet>firefox | 12:23 |
| Jonne_ | not 'web browser' | 12:23 |
| knome | that should be the one under /applications | 12:24 |
| nicekiwi | speaking of the application menu.. how do you edit the layout of the highest level of the app menu? "Menu Editor" dosnt work | 12:24 |
| Jonne_ | although 'web browser' has the same effect | 12:24 |
| knome | there's files in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu... | 12:24 |
| knome | or, simply said, there's no better way than "main menu" (alacarte), yet | 12:25 |
| nicekiwi | knome, ahhh perfecct xD hopfully this will work :) ty | 12:26 |
| Jonne_ | maybe i should ask in #ubuntu | 12:27 |
| knome | Jonne_, well, that sounds weird. | 12:28 |
| knome | Jonne_, if running "firefox" from terminal works, i've no idea why running from the menu wouldn't | 12:28 |
| Jonne_ | my thoughts exactly | 12:29 |
| Jonne_ | i have a bunch of other DE's installed too, so they might be interfering with eachother | 12:29 |
| knome | any warnings thrown when you launch from terminal? | 12:29 |
| Jonne_ | http://askubuntu.com/questions/204103/firefox-16-wont-start-from-the-gnome-shell-in-12-10 | 12:29 |
| knome | did you try the method proposed there? | 12:30 |
| Jonne_ | still trying to start firefox | 12:30 |
| Jonne_ | ok, that fixed it | 12:31 |
| Jonne_ | ffs | 12:31 |
| Jonne_ | unity's really getting in the way of running alternative desktops | 12:31 |
| knome | one could say so | 12:32 |
| knome | as long as it isn't impossible, it's fine | 12:32 |
| Jonne_ | i should probably bite the bullet and try an alt distro, but i've been using ubuntu for 5 years now | 12:32 |
| Jonne_ | all my boxes run ubuntu, but all have a different DE | 12:33 |
| pellcorp | I am having issues running xubuntu 12.10 inside vmware player 5.0.1. My host is also Xubuntu 12.10. I had the same issue running Gubuntu 12.10 as host. Xubuntu guest runs perfectly in a single screen. If I configure vmware to use both of my screens xubuntu misbehaves. | 13:09 |
| pellcorp | Misbehaves as in moving say a terminal window between screens causes the background to get corrupted. Funny thing is this works very nicely on Ubuntu 10.10 32bit. | 13:09 |
| pellcorp | Anyone tried this or have any suggestions? | 13:09 |
| pellcorp | I meant Ubuntu 10.10 as guest works fine across both screens, even when Xubuntu 12.10 is host. | 13:10 |
| pellcorp | I am running xubuntu 12.10 64bit both host and guest. | 13:15 |
| adytza23 | hello | 13:25 |
| adytza23 | i have a problem | 13:25 |
| adytza23 | my asus eeepc 1015bx after i install xubuntu or lubuntu it gives me a black screen | 13:26 |
| nikolam | This automatic disk checks on startup are pain. One day I will run everything on ZFS and I would forget what on-boot chkdsk is. | 13:26 |
| nikolam | fsck i ment | 13:26 |
| adytza23 | what's wrong? | 13:26 |
| GridCube | adytza23, many things can be wrong, see i you could get an error somewhere | 13:27 |
| adytza23 | well i did'nt show any error | 13:27 |
| adytza23 | after the instalation is finished it wont show deskop | 13:28 |
| pellcorp | I am going to try 12.04 64bit guest and see if the problem is still there. At least will provide more info. Otherwise man Xubuntu rocks, I love it, so quick and clean. Only thing I miss is auto dual screen, when I plug and unplug my external monitor, but I found the aranda and that is really helpful. | 13:28 |
| adytza23 | just a black screen | 13:28 |
| GridCube | press ctrl-alt-f1 and go to a tty | 13:28 |
| nikolam | did you set it up to boot from Hd? adytza23 | 13:28 |
| adytza23 | of course | 13:28 |
| adytza23 | i already cheked that | 13:29 |
| GridCube | adytza23, and then go to /var/log/ and check the Xorg.log s | 13:29 |
| nikolam | and it starts to boot and then displays something before displaying black screen? | 13:29 |
| adytza23 | it does'nt dispaly anything before the balck screen | 13:29 |
| nikolam | did you installed grub. And you installed from live USB from 12.10 ? | 13:30 |
| koegs | where is defined which icon is show in the taskbar and task-switcher? terminator shows a different icon in the main-menu and in the taskbar: http://imgur.com/6oRj6 | 13:30 |
| adytza23 | someone told me it may be because of the fact it has an ati graphics card | 13:30 |
| nikolam | maybe it is for unsupported graphics and needs ati driver install. do you have console? | 13:31 |
| GridCube | koegs, the program defines that, usually at their folder | 13:32 |
| nikolam | adytza23, and if you installed from live USB drive, it booted there to desktop? | 13:32 |
| adytza23 | i did'nt instaled from live | 13:33 |
| nikolam | adytza23, but from where | 13:33 |
| adytza23 | i used yummy | 13:33 |
| adytza23 | to make the iso botable from usb | 13:34 |
| adytza23 | and instaled it directly | 13:34 |
| nikolam | why not using unetbootin? | 13:35 |
| nikolam | adytza23, use unetbootin. | 13:37 |
| adytza23 | first time i heard about it | 13:37 |
| adytza23 | :) | 13:37 |
| * nikolam going to eat | 13:38 | |
| pellcorp | Xubuntu 12.04.1 does not have this problem. I am happy enough to rebuild my vm on 12.04.1 until such time as vmware better supports it. Thanks | 13:43 |
| Adriannom | hi. the spellchecker on libreoffice isn't working at all. i've tried installing hunspell, wbritish and libreoffice-l10n-en-gb among other things, but nothing is working. when i try a spellcheck it just says "spellcheck finished" | 17:33 |
| Adriannom | is this a common problem? | 17:33 |
| v1adimir | try | 17:34 |
| v1adimir | libenchant-dev | 17:34 |
| Adriannom | v1adimir, no change in spellcheck or language settings in libre | 17:36 |
| v1adimir | :( | 17:36 |
| Adriannom | i can see hunspell in the settings, and us english is the only option, but it doesn't even check for that | 17:37 |
| v1adimir | Adriannom: I had it working.. both in 12.04.1 and 12.10 but I'm not sure any more if there was antyhing that needed to be added | 17:37 |
| Adriannom | ok. i can't really understand why there is any work to add a spellchecker, let alone a lot :s | 17:38 |
| Adriannom | been googling for ages | 17:38 |
| v1adimir | yea :f | 17:39 |

| bazhang | smileyfuk, chit chat in #xubuntu-offtopic NOT here | 18:12 |
| holstein | Adriannom: i would see if there is an upgrade available for libreoffice, and if not.. i would look at the libreoffice site and see what version they are on, and try either upgrading or downgrading your current one and test | 18:12 |
| smileyfuk | i would like to stay on topic thanks | 18:12 |

| Adriannom | holstein, updated, but no change :(# | 18:25 |
| holstein | Adriannom: you can also try downgrading, but i would try and determine A. if its just you... B. is it just libreoffice or just a certain verion or few versions.. | 18:26 |
| Adriannom | tbh i've had this problem on every version of xubuntu for about a year. it's only now that i really need it to be fixed | 18:27 |
| Adriannom | various pcs | 18:27 |
| holstein | Adriannom: sure.. but this is not xubuntu specific either.. the libre package is ubuntu specific.. is there a bug report you have found? have you contacted anyone in the libre team? | 18:28 |
| holstein | Adriannom: can anyone else replicate it?.. if you dont find a bug, start one, and lay out the steps.. link it here and il try and replicate it | 18:29 |
| Adriannom | neither. the steps are: install xubuntu. apt-get install libreoffice. load writer. type stuff. spell check. | 18:30 |
| holstein | Adriannom: sure.. and that is the same package ubuntu-wide. im not tring to be combabitive at all... just get you in the correct place and this channel is not going to be able to resolve libre office issues.. i would try searching for a bug, and if you dont fine one, make one | 18:38 |
| holstein | link it back to me and others and we'll try and get it confirmed | 18:39 |
| Adriannom | holstein, finally i got it working. i downloaded an oxt from http://libreoffice-na.us/English-3.5-installs/dictionary.html and installed it with the extension manager | 18:50 |
| Adriannom | holstein, thanks for your help | 18:51 |
| holstein | Adriannom: COOL... are those extensions available in the repos? let me konw if you do see a bug somewhere that we/you/i can tack those results you found onto | 18:51 |
| Adriannom | i didn't find any bugs, just tons of forum posts | 18:51 |
| Adriannom | phew, i really have to go now, thanks again | 18:53 |

| === davethefan|Rndri is now known as davethefan | ||
| davethefan | quiet in here? | 20:48 |
| vagrantc | so, what's the application that comes up when you pop in a blank CD on xubuntu? it's not xfburn... should it be? | 20:50 |
| davethefan | i use brasero | 20:51 |
| vagrantc | but what's xubuntu's intention? | 20:52 |
| davethefan | it is xfburn isn't it? i've got a relatively fresh install, and brasero is only there because i manually installed it - other than that, i don't see any other cd burning software - unless CD / DVD creator counts, but thats just a file manager window | 20:55 |
| vagrantc | hmmm... i'm kind of proxying the question, so i'm not totally clear on it myself... more research... | 21:04 |
| mokarenko | Hello everyone. I need to know how to enable a volume control applet without the indicator plugin. | 21:08 |
| === `mOOse` is now known as m00se | ||
| davethefan | vagrantc: have you checked the package lists on the xubuntu site? | 21:14 |
| mokarenko | any way of getting the volume control applet without the indicator plugin?? | 21:17 |
| mokarenko | or is there a way of configuring said plugin so that right-click doesn't give me the menu of the plugin?? | 21:18 |
| davethefan | does your volume control show up in the Multimedia menu? | 21:18 |
| mokarenko | yes, pulseaudio volume control | 21:19 |
| davethefan | is that the menu you are looking for/ | 21:19 |
| mokarenko | Not quite... I'm looking for the wee icon in the notification area for volume control, but I don't want the indicator plugin | 21:20 |
| davethefan | how do you mean? | 21:21 |
| mokarenko | Okay: the indicator plugin is this thing you get on the panel that contains the network manager status, in my case the dropbox icon, the volume control and other stuff... I don't want it | 21:23 |
| mokarenko | I want, however, the volume control icon (and menu/applet whatever it's called) back in the notification area... | 21:23 |
| davethefan | you want to be able to remove it, and have a shortcut for the volume control somewhere else, like your desktop or something? | 21:23 |
| mokarenko | Not just anywhere else: in the notification area... tray area... whatever you like to call it. | 21:24 |
| GridCube | mokarenko, try this one https://code.google.com/p/volume-applet/ | 21:26 |
| mokarenko | brb lunch... thanks GridCube I'll give it a try :) | 21:27 |
