[04:31] Yes. [05:53] Hello, I am having a problem with the action buttons applet for xfce4 panel [05:55] the actions "shutdown" and "restart" are greyed out. I have tried modifying the /.xinitrc to no avail [06:04] 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 [06:09] I have restarted several times from terminal.. thanks for the reply and sorry for my delay [06:10] Forgot to mention this occurred after 40 updates for xfce 4.10 [06:10] Adam___: how is it as a new user? [06:11] I haven't tried yet but I did make sure my user/group had full admin privelages [06:12] should I log/out in ass guest user? [06:12] as* [06:13] Adam___: i just suggest taking your current user config out of the equation.. for troubleshooting... however you want to do that [06:14] ok I will try that now and be back in 5 minutes. Thank-you [06:15] 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] I will logout from terminal [06:20] same thing happened with guest account with/without admin privs [06:20] Adam___: its not the privs im checking for [06:20] Adam___: its the config [06:20] Adam___: assuming all users have greyed out options, then its safe to say its system wide [06:20] ok [06:20] not a user config issue [06:21] true [06:21] I wish I knew what update caused this [06:21] Adam___: i would check for broken packages [06:22] Immediately after the update is when thins went wonky, I saw this problem on other forums but it was in arch linux [06:23] 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 [06:24] I will check for broken packages [06:27] everything seems to be fine [06:28] besides the problem at hand === Noskcaj is now known as Noskcaj_afk [06:36] Adam___: i have no shutdown button... or restart.. [06:38] 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? [06:39] action-button properties* [06:40] Adam___: as in, i dont want them, so i dont have them [06:40] So you just use terminal instead of the GUI is what you are saying.. [06:41] 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] I see [06:43] 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 [06:45] Do you know of any alternative action buttons? [06:46] Adam___: you can create what you like... im not sure whats broken for you though.. i would try reinstalling the 40 packages [06:46] Adam___: at least you kept track of that.. thats helpful id say [06:48] I'll try that. Thanks for your help holstein [06:48] appreciate it [06:49] Adam___: anytime.. hope you get it sorted without too much hassle... try the mailing list if you dont get a good answer here.. === Noskcaj_afk is now known as Noskcaj [07:53] hello [07:53] i need a little of help [07:54] i cant browse anything in mozilla or download [07:54] and it says im connected === Guest340 is now known as ponbiki [08:14] is it viable to run ubuntu on a tablet?

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