| Adam___ | Hello, I am having a problem with the action buttons applet for xfce4 panel | 05:53 |
| Adam___ | the actions "shutdown" and "restart" are greyed out. I have tried modifying the /.xinitrc to no avail | 05:55 |
| holstein | Adam___: i would try restart from the terminal and make sure it works.. i would try as a different user to see if my config is breaking something | 06:04 |
| Adam___ | I have restarted several times from terminal.. thanks for the reply and sorry for my delay | 06:09 |
| Adam___ | Forgot to mention this occurred after 40 updates for xfce 4.10 | 06:10 |
| holstein | Adam___: how is it as a new user? | 06:10 |
| Adam___ | I haven't tried yet but I did make sure my user/group had full admin privelages | 06:11 |
| Adam___ | should I log/out in ass guest user? | 06:12 |
| Adam___ | as* | 06:12 |
| holstein | Adam___: i just suggest taking your current user config out of the equation.. for troubleshooting... however you want to do that | 06:13 |
| Adam___ | ok I will try that now and be back in 5 minutes. Thank-you | 06:14 |
| Adam___ | Oh yeah.. I forgot also when I log out from the menu I get: Method "Logout" with signature "bb" on interface "org.xfce.Session.Manager" doesn't exist | 06:15 |
| Adam___ | I will logout from terminal | 06:15 |
| Adam___ | same thing happened with guest account with/without admin privs | 06:20 |
| holstein | Adam___: its not the privs im checking for | 06:20 |
| holstein | Adam___: its the config | 06:20 |
| holstein | Adam___: assuming all users have greyed out options, then its safe to say its system wide | 06:20 |
| Adam___ | ok | 06:20 |
| holstein | not a user config issue | 06:20 |
| Adam___ | true | 06:21 |
| Adam___ | I wish I knew what update caused this | 06:21 |
| holstein | Adam___: i would check for broken packages | 06:21 |
| Adam___ | Immediately after the update is when thins went wonky, I saw this problem on other forums but it was in arch linux | 06:22 |
| Adam___ | They also weren't using a login manager I believe and changing their /.xinitrc fixed the problem for them, but didn't wok for me | 06:23 |
| Adam___ | I will check for broken packages | 06:24 |
| Adam___ | everything seems to be fine | 06:27 |
| Adam___ | besides the problem at hand | 06:28 |

| holstein | Adam___: i have no shutdown button... or restart.. | 06:36 |
| Adam___ | As in you don't have the action-buttons applet in the panel? Or because it isn't checked off in the action-panel properties? | 06:38 |
| Adam___ | action-button properties* | 06:39 |
| holstein | Adam___: as in, i dont want them, so i dont have them | 06:40 |
| Adam___ | So you just use terminal instead of the GUI is what you are saying.. | 06:40 |
| holstein | i dont use them.. i built what i use daily on my netbook from openbox and tint2 etc... and i dont use shutdown or restart buttons.. since i dont need to shutdown or restart but every kernel upgrade | 06:41 |
| Adam___ | I see | 06:41 |
| Adam___ | I frequently shutdown and restart on my notebook, so it's an ease of access thing for me. Instead of having to open terminal, sudo shutdown -P now, password, etcetera | 06:43 |
| Adam___ | Do you know of any alternative action buttons? | 06:45 |
| holstein | Adam___: you can create what you like... im not sure whats broken for you though.. i would try reinstalling the 40 packages | 06:46 |
| holstein | Adam___: at least you kept track of that.. thats helpful id say | 06:46 |
| Adam___ | I'll try that. Thanks for your help holstein | 06:48 |
| Adam___ | appreciate it | 06:48 |
| holstein | Adam___: anytime.. hope you get it sorted without too much hassle... try the mailing list if you dont get a good answer here.. | 06:49 |

| cousteau | I just installed electricsheep but it doesn't appear on Screensaver settings. Do I need any extra step? | 15:35 |
| cousteau | probably rebooting fixes it, but I'd rather not reboot now | 15:35 |
| cousteau | ...also it shows a generic list of screensavers, some of which aren't installed. Do I need to add the screensaver to that list somehow? | 15:36 |
| cousteau | maybe delete ~/.xscreensaver ? | 15:37 |
| holstein | cousteau: i dont use screensavers, but from what i remember, the list is available/suggested ones | 16:17 |
| holstein | cousteau: where did you get the electric sheep screensaver? | 16:18 |
| cousteau | holstein, repositories | 16:26 |
| cousteau | and it's already on /usr/lib/xscreensaver/electricsheep -> ../../bin/electricsheep | 16:27 |
| holstein | cousteau: the default ubuntu repos then? you just searched in a package manager? and didnt add any ppa's? | 16:27 |
| cousteau | correct | 16:27 |
| cousteau | I didn't reboot the computer either | 16:27 |
| cousteau | (on the time I've spent afk I could have rebooted it, now that I think of it) | 16:28 |
| GrapeApe | cousteau: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-get-electric-sheep-to-work-with.html | 16:29 |
| holstein | yeah, i was thinking that might be an ok place to start, but it references ubuntu tweak which i think is uncessarry for a screensaver config | 16:30 |
| GrapeApe | eh? how so | 16:30 |
| cousteau | GrapeApe, ok... but shouldn't it get added automatically? | 16:30 |
| cousteau | I even deleted ~/.xscreensaver and it got regenerated | 16:30 |
| GrapeApe | cousteau: i have no clue why it isn't added automatically. i don't use it. | 16:30 |
| GrapeApe | cousteau: apparently you need to add it manually | 16:31 |
| GrapeApe | cousteau: should take about 5 seconds to determine if it works or not | 16:31 |
| holstein | GrapeApe: oh, thats a different one than what i seached.. yeah.. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-get-electric-sheep-to-work-with.html looks ideal cousteau | 16:31 |
| GrapeApe | cousteau: if it doesn't; no harm, no foul. remove the line from the file | 16:31 |
| cousteau | ok, ok, doing it | 16:31 |
| cousteau | <troll> it says gedit not installed! </troll> | 16:35 |
| cousteau | ok, there it is! thanks | 16:35 |

| xubuntu368 | question: how can i return my mouse back to normal sensitivity? it randomly started to highlight and click while i'm just using the track pad to move the pointer | 16:54 |
| xubuntu368 | correction... it's not a mouse, it's a track pad on my laptop | 16:55 |
| xubuntu368 | i'm running xubuntu 12.04 | 16:57 |
| GrapeApe | xubuntu368: is this truly random, or after resuming the laptop ( or any other commonality you can think of ) | 17:07 |
| GrapeApe | xubuntu368: also, does your trackpad have physicla mouse buttons underneath it, or does it 'click' using finger taps | 17:09 |

| holstein | xubuntu286: depends on what you have | 22:29 |
| xubuntu286 | macbook pro 13 inch summer 2011 model | 22:30 |
| holstein | i would just try it. if its not working, i would plug it into wired internet and see if you are propted for driver installation | 22:30 |
| holstein | !broadcom | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 22:30 |
| holstein | ^ that will help you determine if you have a broadcom device and what you have if you dont | 22:30 |
| xubuntu286 | i believe i do | 22:30 |
| xubuntu286 | thank you | 22:30 |
| holstein | xubuntu286: well you can open a terminal and run "lspci" and see what the hardware is | 22:31 |
| holstein | !paste | xubuntu286 | 22:31 |

| xubuntu286 | actually android modding got me started with all this cpu stuff ive done construction since middle school never even knew i had an interest in this til rescentley | 22:37 |
| holstein | xubuntu286: remember how long you spent with whatever operating system you used before... how long you used it "as-is".. without networking.. or knowing anything about the file system.. try and give linux/xubuntu the same patience and time | 22:37 |
| xubuntu286 | good advice will do | 22:37 |
| xubuntu286 | so far i love it i literally just wiped out all my other os's and installed just this one was running windows on my macbook forever before i ran into all of this wonderfulness | 22:39 |
