[03:46] <c2tarun> anyone able to setup adhoc wifi network in xubuntu.
[11:25] <gggs> just installed xubuntu, think I've found a bug already
[11:25] <Silence-> gggs: And whats that?
[11:28] <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
[11:30] <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
[11:33] <gggs> possible workaround: delete all conflicting shortcuts first
[11:45] <gggs> otherwise I'm impressed, didn't take long to configure the desktop the way I wanted
[12:15] <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>
[12:18] <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 ?
[12:19] <nicekiwi> knome, that had no effect
[12:19] <nicekiwi> xubuntu514, yes.
[12:20] <nicekiwi> knome, oh oh wait it did
[12:20] <nicekiwi> yay
[12:21] <nicekiwi> knome, ty
[12:21] <xubuntu514> thankyou
[12:21] <knome> nicekiwi, no problem
[12:22] <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
[12:23] <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'
[12:24] <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...
[12:25] <knome> or, simply said, there's no better way than "main menu" (alacarte), yet
[12:26] <nicekiwi> knome, ahhh perfecct xD hopfully this will work :) ty
[12:27] <Jonne_> maybe i should ask in #ubuntu
[12:28] <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
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <knome> did you try the method proposed there?
[12:30] <Jonne_> still trying to start firefox
[12:31] <Jonne_> ok, that fixed it
[12:31] <Jonne_> ffs
[12:31] <Jonne_> unity's really getting in the way of running alternative desktops
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <Jonne_> all my boxes run ubuntu, but all have a different DE
[13:09] <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?
[13:10] <pellcorp> I meant Ubuntu 10.10 as guest works fine across both screens, even when Xubuntu 12.10 is host.
[13:15] <pellcorp> I am running xubuntu 12.10 64bit both host and guest.
[13:25] <adytza23> hello
[13:25] <adytza23> i have a problem
[13:26] <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?
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:30] <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
[13:31] <nikolam> maybe it is for unsupported graphics and needs ati driver install. do you have console?
[13:32] <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?
[13:33] <adytza23> i did'nt instaled from live
[13:33] <nikolam> adytza23, but from where
[13:33] <adytza23> i used yummy
[13:34] <adytza23> to make the iso botable from usb
[13:34] <adytza23> and instaled it directly
[13:35] <nikolam> why not using unetbootin?
[13:37] <nikolam> adytza23, use unetbootin.
[13:37] <adytza23> first time i heard about it
[13:37] <adytza23> :)
[13:38]  * nikolam going to eat
[13:43] <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
[17:33] <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?
[17:34] <v1adimir> try
[17:34] <v1adimir> libenchant-dev
[17:36] <Adriannom> v1adimir, no change in spellcheck or language settings in libre
[17:36] <v1adimir> :(
[17:37] <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
[17:38] <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
[17:39] <v1adimir> yea :f
[18:07] <Adriannom> anyone else?
[18:07] <smileyfuk> helo
[18:07] <smileyfuk> i have xubuntu
[18:09] <holstein> Adriannom: you want to add spell check?
[18:09] <bazhang> !ask | smileyfuk
[18:09] <holstein> Adriannom: i would see if there is a newer libreoffice version.. at libreoffice support they would likely ask if you are using the most recent version

[18:09] <smileyfuk> nice to meet u
[18:10] <smileyfuk> what do you need help with?

[18:11] <smileyfuk> ;)
[18:11] <holstein> Adriannom: i didnt mean to imply that you should reinstall
[18:12] <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
[18:14] <holstein> smileyfuk: that was a request for you to stay on topic actually.. do you have a support question?
[18:15] <smileyfuk> i here to help
[18:16] <smileyfuk> what do you need?
[18:16] <bazhang> smileyfuk, stop asking...

[18:18] <xubuntu110> Hello, I am having a really weird terminals in Xubuntu (both the default terminal and the one I use normally - yakuake).  Everytime I try and type 'e' it keeps printing 's'-es continually until I cancel the command with 'ctrl+c'.
[18:18] <xubuntu110> Anyone got any idea how to fix this or even just reset it so it doesnt happen anymore?
[18:18] <stratoka> thanks bazhang

[18:24] <bazhang> ?
[18:25]  * genii-around immediately goes back to coffee drinking
[18:25] <Adriannom> holstein, updated, but no change :(#
[18:26] <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..
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <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?
[18:29] <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
[18:30] <Adriannom> neither.  the steps are:  install xubuntu.  apt-get install libreoffice.  load writer.  type stuff.  spell check.
[18:38] <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
[18:39] <holstein> link it back to me and others and we'll try and get it confirmed
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <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
[18:53] <Adriannom> phew, i really have to go now, thanks again
[19:40] <jsmith-argotec> this is probably not the right channel but can anyone point in the best direction for lightdm questions on Ubuntu?
[19:42] <Unit193> jsmith-argotec: Lightdm on Xubuntu is here, lightdm on Ubuntu is at #ubuntu
[19:43] <jsmith-argotec> Unit193: thanks!
[20:48] <davethefan> quiet in here?
[20:50] <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?
[20:51] <davethefan> i use brasero
[20:52] <vagrantc> but what's xubuntu's intention?
[20:55] <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
[21:04] <vagrantc> hmmm... i'm kind of proxying the  question, so i'm not totally clear on it myself... more research...
[21:08] <mokarenko> Hello everyone. I need to know how to enable a volume control applet without the indicator plugin.
[21:14] <davethefan> vagrantc: have you checked the package lists on the xubuntu site?
[21:17] <mokarenko> any way of getting the volume control applet without the indicator plugin??
[21:18] <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?
[21:19] <mokarenko> yes, pulseaudio volume control
[21:19] <davethefan> is that the menu you are looking for/
[21:20] <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
[21:21] <davethefan> how do you mean?
[21:23] <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?
[21:24] <mokarenko> Not just anywhere else: in the notification area... tray area... whatever you like to call it.
[21:26] <GridCube> mokarenko, try this one https://code.google.com/p/volume-applet/
[21:27] <mokarenko> brb lunch... thanks GridCube I'll give it a try :)
[22:27] <xubuntu255> hello
[22:28] <tomatopotato> yes?
[22:28] <tomatopotato> whos there?
[22:29] <xubuntu255> Ok, I got choppy scrolling in firefox and horrible screentear when moving windows in 12.10, amd 6450 proprietary drivers. didnt  have choppy scrolling with the free driver but did have screentear
[22:29] <xubuntu255> can somebody help me fix all this?
[22:30] <xubuntu255> please:)
[22:34] <tomatopotato> xubuntu255: post your xorg log, your glxinfo
[22:34] <tomatopotato> via pastebin
[22:50] <jd_xubuntu> Question, I have a dell 4300, 2GH processor, and 1Gig of Ram, 64 Megs of video Ram, loaded up xubuntu and tring to login but I get a gray screen at login any suggestions
[23:34] <holstein> jd_xubuntu: nomodeset ...tap or hold shift while booting the live CD.. go to the bottom F6 menu... nomodeset is there
[23:39] <nicekiwi> hey, in the /etc/xdg/xdg-ubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu it references .desktop files, where are those files located?
[23:42] <knome> nicekiwi, /usr/share/applications/
[23:42] <knome> nicekiwi, usually :)
[23:48] <nicekiwi> knome, ty :)
[23:53] <nicekiwi> Can u force fullscreen apps to run in windowed mode with commandline params?
