[00:12] <xubuntu563> need help dont kno if im in the right place i just installed a copy of xubuntu and i cant seem to get the sound to work
[00:28] <Zelouille> xubuntu563, yes you are.
[00:28] <Zelouille> !sound
[01:01] <keithclark> How do I access a drive on another computer in xubuntu?  I don't seem to be able to get the file manager to work with a ssh session
[01:02] <ochosi> keithclark: what version of xubuntu are you using=
[01:03] <keithclark> ochosi, 12.10
[01:04] <ochosi> keithclark: then just hit ctrl+l and enter "sftp://$user@$server-ip:$port"
[01:04] <ochosi> (obviously $user stands for your username etc.)
[01:04] <ochosi> in the filemanager
[01:04] <ochosi> == thunar
[01:11] <keithclark> why not just ssh://user@x.x.x.x
[01:20] <ochosi> keithclark: because sftp is ssh's file transfer protocol?
[01:20] <keithclark> Ah, it worked fine.  Thanks
[01:21] <ochosi> good :)
[01:37] <mark_> Hello.  I want my default browser to be Chrome, but whenever I set it as default (through preferred applications or the browser itself) it always goes to not being the default.  How can I go about fixing that?
[02:35] <lotato> hello!
[02:36] <lotato> I had a quick question regarding method three listed on this page
[02:36] <lotato> http://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce/
[02:36] <lotato> what is the command I should be mapping to a key?
[02:36] <lotato> I don't seem to have it as an unset option in my list
[02:37] <lotato> could someone kindly check to see if they have in their keyboard shortcut list? It'd be greatly appreciated! :]
[02:39] <drc> It's in my 12.04.1 system, unset, like the page said
[02:41] <lotato> what is the command that should be mapped to a key? I unfortunately don't seem to have it in same system
[02:42] <lotato> in the* same system (12.04.1)
[02:44] <drc> You sure it's not there?  In my system, it's the 17th item in the list, between Move Window and Shade window (you have to scroll down to see it).
[02:45] <drc> And I suspect that clicking the Reset to Defaults button would put it back.
[02:47] <lotato> I must've removed most of the options when I was making my own to unclutter the list. I guess I'll have to reset it after backing up my custom ones
[02:50] <lotato> huh. I reset them to the defaults, yet I still don't have it
[02:50] <lotato> along with Move Window or Shade Window or anything like that
[02:51] <drc> Then one of us is looking at the wrong place :)
[02:52] <drc> Just to be sure, you aren't looking at Settings>Settings Manager> Keyboard> Applications Shortcuts?
[02:53] <lotato> Aha, you've got me! I've been looking in the wrong place, and just where you mentioned. Boy do I feel silly now
[02:53] <drc> Been there, dome that, got the silly grin :)
[02:54] <lotato> Thank you for the help drc! When I was reading that page, I must've glossed over the location as soon as I saw the word Keyboard. I automatically assumed it was Applications > Shortcuts
[02:54] <lotato> Shows how important it is for me to read first :]
[02:54] <lotato> Thanks drc!
[02:55] <drc> Read Twice, Code once :)
[02:55] <lotato> Words to live by! I need to start by learning those words! Haha. Have a good night and once again, thanks!
[02:55] <drc> NP...good night....
[03:34] <xubuntu998> hi, since updating to 12.04 lts i have no main menu, can anyone help
[03:36] <xubuntu998> There is an alacarte (?) menu but it is limited
[03:38] <asterismo> xubuntu998, there is alacarte, but it is not installed by default
[03:38] <drc> You mean you have no Applications Menu?  The one usually on the far left side of the top panel?
[03:39] <asterismo> open a terminal and execute "sudo apt-get install alacarte"
[03:39] <xubuntu998> nothing, nada, i'm pretty clueless but i did a google and found no help
[03:41] <drc> nothing, nada...what?  I'm confused.
[03:41] <xubuntu998> it just says whatever application is open or 'ubuntu desktop' if none are open but no menu, no options
[03:42] <drc> "It" ??????
[03:44] <xubuntu998> :-) you're confused, i'm clueless. Top panel -if no applications are open it says 'ubuntu desktop' in top left corner, if an app is open it has ththe name of app in top left and option to close, minimise ore max when mose hovers over, but nothing else
[03:45] <drc> what did you update from?
[03:46] <xubuntu998> not sure, had an 'updates available' top right and clicked ok
[03:49] <drc> At some point you had to install xubuntu (from a cd or usb)  what was that?
[03:50] <xubuntu998> that was a couple of years ago, not even sure what version, would have downloaded or dorrowed the disk,
[03:50] <xubuntu998> was working fine till this upgrade
[03:56] <xubuntu998> can't even open terminal as it is not on alacarte menu
[03:58] <drc> can you right click on an open space on the top panel, go to the bottom of the drop down menu where it says panel?
[04:00] <xubuntu998> no, nothing happens when i right click (or left click)
[04:01] <drc> Are you sure you're using XUBUNTU, not UBUNTU ?
[04:03] <xubuntu998> i was pretty sure, how can i check now......      only thing that happens is if i double click on top panel web browser goes from full screen to window
[04:06] <drc> What happens if you move the mouse/sursor all the way to the left?
[04:06] <drc> mouse/cusror
[04:06] <xubuntu998> nothing, alacarte is always visible
[04:07] <drc> what;s on the far right of the top panel?
[04:09] <xubuntu998>  an envelope, volume icon, time, user and shut down/system settings dropdown
[04:14] <drc> system settings?  that's an item on the men that drops down?
[04:14] <drc> s/men/menu
[04:16] <xubuntu998> yup, opens a window, has three main catagories,  personal, hardware and system.
[04:17] <xubuntu998> in system is backup, details, management services, time, universal access and user accounts
[04:18] <drc> OK, if you have "alacarte" always visable on the left, and a systems settings on a drop down menu on the right, I'm going to hazard an informed guess that you have UBUNTU, not Xubuntu (unity not xfce)
[04:19] <xubuntu998> Hmmmmm, im gonna reboot and see what it says, i was damb sure it was Xubuntu, but now i'm not sure.
[04:19] <xubuntu998> Thanks for youre help
[04:19] <drc> no problem
[04:22]  * drc just shakes his head
[04:39] <Psykus> installer keeps hanging for me after the timezone selection, any ideas?

[06:28] <JennyBlueBird> Hi guys, could anybody tell em which package I need to get a panel volume control for ALSA in 12.10? I had to remove pulseaudio because of some programs that did not work well with it, and sound works rgeat now, but I don't get a volume control in the panel.
[06:28] <JennyBlueBird> the mixer and all works fine, I just can't find any volume control in the "add items" menu for the panel, nor is there any in the notification area
[06:28] <JennyBlueBird> I assume I just miss some package or startup script

[11:15] <soreau> hey guys, how can I enable internet clock sync in xubuntu?
[11:17]  * soreau remembers vaguely something about installing ntp
[11:18] <soreau> now from two minutes slow to a minute-and-a-half fast
[11:18] <soreau> getting there, close enough for now
[11:28] <soreau> ah now it sync'd up
[11:28] <soreau> thanks for watching me figure this out :)
[11:37] <Zelouille> koegs Oh, great, thank you. I should check that FAQ more often.
[11:41] <bartzy> Hi
[11:41] <bartzy> How do I open docx document with Abiword ? :\
[11:42] <knome> you don't, abiword doesn't support docx
[11:44] <bartzy> knome: I thought it did. through plugins or something ?
[11:46] <knome> bartzy, i don't think it supports docx anyway. doc, yes, but not docx
[11:46] <bartzy> :(
[11:46] <knome> right, it might. but the problem is, if it doesn't open...
[11:46] <bartzy> And libreoffice requires gnome libs
[11:47] <knome> then you're kind of out of luck
[11:47] <bartzy> So I should install libreoffice to get a normal "Office" experience ?
[11:47] <knome> if you need better compatilibity with microsoft "x" formats, then probably

[14:23] <simpleuser> Hello
[14:24] <simpleuser> Before i could triple tap on my touchpad (1 tap : left click, 2 taps : middle click, 3 taps : right click). But not anymore.
[14:24] <simpleuser> How could i change this ? For now 2 taps give me a right click.
[14:48] <ochosi> simpleuser: you mean that was the default setting "before"? what do you mean by that exactly? when did it change?
[14:48] <simpleuser> actually, before i had the distribution called "Voyager".
[14:48] <simpleuser> ( http://voyager.legtux.org/ ) based on Xubuntu
[14:48] <simpleuser> Now i installed Xubuntu (the official one) and i don't have it.
[14:48] <simpleuser> ochosi, ^
[14:52] <ochosi> never used voyager, sry
[14:53] <ochosi> not sure i can be of any help there
[14:55] <simpleuser> ok no prob, thx anyway ochosi  :)
[14:56] <ochosi> maybe the voyager guys have a support channel or something
[14:56] <simpleuser> yeah i should go there, thanks for the idea !
[15:00] <ochosi> simpleuser: if you find out how, i'd be interested to know (it's probably not a usecase for me, but in general)
[15:00] <simpleuser> ok no prob !
