[00:59] <roasted> hello!
[01:00] <roasted> Question - I want to set a default profile, so any user that gets created gets a very specific and customized... everything. Traditionally anything in /etc/skel is what the new user gets... but I just tried this and the new user received everything I'd expect from a Xubuntu session. Eh?
[01:00] <roasted> Is there a different locatoin than /etc/skel?
[01:28] <jxajro_> Hello! Someone here speaks portuguese???
[01:30] <Unit193> !pt
[01:30] <Unit193> roasted: How are you adding new users?
[01:33] <roasted> Unit193: through users and groups.
[03:24] <buenouanq> Hello
[03:25] <buenouanq> Having trouble installing on a macbook.
[03:25] <buenouanq> I can get to the GRUB screen.
[03:26] <buenouanq> but selecting anything just brings up color lines...
[03:31] <buenouanq> I'm guessing that the installer can properly access my screen drivers or something.  I don't know, I've never had problems like this.
[08:32] <itteration> could i have some suggestions on a problem with window dressings not appearing
[08:36] <TheSheep> press alt+f2 and type xfwm4
[08:36] <itteration> ok
[08:37] <itteration> what did i do?
[08:37] <itteration> it worked
[08:37] <TheSheep> you started the window manager
[08:38] <TheSheep> it must have crashed or not run at all for some reason
[08:38] <TheSheep> it should be ok now though
[08:39] <itteration> it was weird, windows wouldnt show up in my normal xorg.conf, and would show without boarders in a backup i had, reproducing on restarts and log-off/log-in
[08:39] <itteration> everything should be ok now, thanks to you
[08:43] <TheSheep> itteration: if you are curious why it crashed, you can take a look in .xsessionerrors in your home directory
[08:43] <TheSheep> that's a hidden file
[08:45] <itteration> theres a lot of randr missing on display ":0.0"
[08:45] <TheSheep> that's just a warning, I guess
[08:46] <itteration> let me know if im wasting the chatroom space
[08:47] <itteration> ive got a gdkdrawable-x11 error   drawable is not a pixmap or window
[08:47] <TheSheep> look at the end, maybe, and look for more critical things
[08:48] <itteration> a critical randr error?
[08:48] <itteration> about 5 'events?' up
[08:48] <TheSheep> that could be it, if you want, you can report it as a bug
[08:51] <itteration> i think i will.
[08:52] <itteration> im using nvidia driver, xinerama, i dont think im using randr, but i also have a 'display does not support the xcomposite extension' and a 'compositing manager disabled'
[08:54] <itteration> im guessing i should search for this bug first,  what should i search with
[08:58] <TheSheep> the error message, I guess
[08:59] <itteration> thanks. ive never submitted a bug before
[10:42] <hotdog> hi
[10:44] <hotdog> my xubuntu 12.04 doesn't start lightdm automatically. last message i get is "checking battery state". after hitting enter lightdm shows up. any suggestions?
[12:07] <xubuntu634> Hey all, I took a screen shot of my problem, It's right above the applications menu, its a square little box that wont go away http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-02182013-060429am.php
[13:23] <karmakosmikk> Does anybody know why my xubuntu does not understand memory card or canon camera when plugged in computer?
[13:31] <GridCube> karmakosmikk, it should do that, i know mines do
[13:32] <karmakosmikk> yes it should do, yes. in lubuntu it seems to understand it but in some strange way, not in xubuntu
[13:33] <GridCube> mmm in this same machine?
[13:34] <GridCube> could you logoff and relogin to a xubuntu session using the guest user?
[14:25] <aicasn-V> is there a way to add a repo source but only pull select packages from it? i want to add a testing repository, but i don't want to update my stable packages with _all_ of the unstable "upgrades" it offers, just one or two that I need
[14:28] <GridCube> aicasn-V, i dont really know if you can do that
[14:28] <GridCube> but you could install ppa-purge and have it in there to reverse the changes if you dont like somehting
[14:29] <GridCube> !info ppa-purge
[14:31] <g16> !pin | aicasn-V
[14:32] <olbi> maybe it is in exFAT?
[14:33] <olbi> try to install fuse-exfat, exfat-utils with ppa:relan/exfat
[14:35] <aicasn-V> g16:  i did read about that, but i don't want to prefer an entire repo over another, just a package
[14:35] <aicasn-V> it did not appear that pinning would allow for that
[14:36] <g16> aicasn-V: I found that page reading http://askubuntu.com/questions/170235
[14:36] <g16> s/reading/through/
[14:37] <aicasn-V> ie. i can reduce the priority of the repo, but then how do I promote the priority of package xyz on that repo above the standard priority level?
[14:48] <Peyam> Hi
[14:48] <Peyam> my volume icon is gone.
[14:48] <Peyam> How do I fix it?
[14:49] <aicasn-V> add Mixer to your bar
[14:49] <aicasn-V> right click, Panel, Add New Items, Mixer
[14:49] <Peyam> no Mixer in Add new Item
[14:49] <aicasn-V> it'll probably stick it on the end, so right-click the volume icon, Move, and put it where you want it
[14:50] <Peyam> there is no valume icon. that's the problem
[14:50] <aicasn-V> right click, Panel, Add New Items, Mixer
[14:50] <Peyam> aicasn-V: There is no Mixer as I told you :)
[14:50] <aicasn-V> what xubuntu version?
[14:51] <Peyam> 12.10
[14:51] <GridCube> Peyam, remove the Plugin Indicator applet, and add it back again
[14:51] <Peyam> how do I do that?
[14:52] <GridCube> Peyam, go to a panel, right clic it go to panel > panel settings
[14:52] <GridCube> then go to the last tab for items, search the "plugins indicator" item, remove it, use the + icon to add a new item, find "plugins indicator" and add it back again
[14:53] <Peyam> thank you GridCube
[14:53] <Peyam> :) worked
[14:54] <GridCube> :D awesome
[14:54] <GridCube> you see when the plugin indicator applet fails, it's restarted by nm-connection-editor, but it doesnt recheck for all the other plugins
[14:55] <GridCube> its a bug
[15:03] <Peyam> GridCube: yeah.. not good
[15:04] <GridCube> yep
[15:05] <GridCube> but plugin indicator is a pain for xfce in any case to start with
[15:52] <xubuntu929> hello
[17:51] <timmma> From the ubuntu market place, where do applications get saved?
[17:52] <GridCube> it deppends but usually to /bin/
[17:52] <GridCube> timmma, what do you need
[17:53] <timmma> I have to reinstall xubuntu on my desktop and i want to have the same programs as on my netbook
[17:55] <GridCube> mmmm
[17:55] <GridCube> there is a way to get the apt-list of all the installed software
[17:56] <timmma> If i can find the folder its easer
[17:56] <GridCube> thats now how you do it though
[17:56] <GridCube> that wont work
[17:57] <timmma> Hmm
[18:01] <timmma> Gridcube silly me theres a sync option
[18:02] <GridCube> there is?
[18:02] <GridCube> nice
[18:04] <timmma> Yup file>sync between computers...
[18:51] <adar> Hey guys. I'm trying to set up Empathy, but when I hit the account settings button on the left, it forwards me to the window on the right, which I'm not sure what to do with. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/FifIybj.png
[18:54] <TheSheep> adar: empathy is highly integrated with the gnome desktop, it probably requires some components of the gnome desktop that you don't have installed
[18:57] <adar> Gotcha. I guess I'll stick with Pidgin then. Was hoping to be able to mess with XMPP priority w/ Gtalk, but it's not that big a deal. Thanks TheSheep
[18:59] <TheSheep> adar: you can also try gajim
[19:03] <Naphatul> is there a way to make the compiz effect scale->initiate window picker work?
[19:03] <adar> I'll give that a try, thanks again TheSheep
[19:07] <dreambox> hey guys... I changed one setting to nvidia config and my screen goes black when I boot to xfce...
[19:07] <dreambox> please help me
[19:07] <dreambox> I tried everything
[19:47] <juanjo> how to add startup sounds to Xubuntu 12.04 xfce 4.8?
[20:16] <Xzu> hi. Big issue, using ubuntu 12.04 and xfce4(kx-studio). After add a folder link to the shortcut toolbar, no more bar was runing (all crashed). So I did sudo reboot. Now I can't login, after the password, black screen and then come back to login
[20:25] <GridCube> Xzu, can you get to  the tty?
[20:27] <Xzu> GridCube, yes, I can
[20:27] <GridCube> Xzu, good, then login and delete the .ICEauthority and .Xauthority files and try to log in again
[20:29] <Xzu> ok  thanks. I' con't do it from here, it the same machine, I have to reboot. Have you got others idea?? (if that don't work)
[20:29] <GridCube> that should do the trick
[20:29] <Xzu> GridCube, thx ;)
[20:38] <kxzu> GridCube, thanks a lot, I'm alive!
[20:39] <kxzu> What are this .Xautority and .ICE files?
[20:39] <GridCube> :D told you so
[20:39] <GridCube> i have no idea
[20:39] <kxzu> ?? you're a illuminated genius?
[20:40] <Unit193> .Xauthority holds the MIT "magic cookie" for who "owns" the X session running, basically.
[20:42] <Kovica> How ca n I do an unattened install with 12.10, now that the alternate cd is gone ?
[20:45] <kxzu> Kovica,  now that the alternate cd is gone?
[20:46] <Kovica> yes.. until 12.04 there was the desktop and alternate CD available. I used alternate one to do unattended install.
[20:47] <GridCube> !mini | Kovica
[20:48] <kxzu>  Use kx-studio or kx repos to have uptodate audio soft ;)
[20:52] <Kovica> GridCube: aha. looks promissing.. :) And how do I add packages to this Mini CD. I have two reasons for this: 1.) I've found that the kernel used during installation does not support all the network cards I encountered on various machines. 2.) I'd like to have as much packages as possible on the CD/DVD itself
[20:55] <GridCube> !customlivecd
[21:00] <Kovica> GridCube: OK, thanks. I'll look into it. Do you perhaps know if the installer used in Live CD can be modified by adding few ony my steps or automatic others ?
[21:01] <GridCube> no idea, but ill would go and guess to "maybe"
[21:01] <Unit193> Can't you just use the preseed to install?
[21:02] <Kovica> Unit193: I've tried with the desktop CD, but it either does not even boot or runs the default graphical installer.
[21:03] <Kovica> Unit193: as far as I know the installer in Live CD is written in python and does not user debian-installer "commands"
[21:03] <Unit193> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation so already read that?
[21:09] <mij> I'm trying to install wizardpen in my xubuntu 12.10 box. The instructions say I must edit the configuration file at /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-wizardpen.fdi but I have no /etc/hal any ideas?
[21:10] <Kovica> Unit193: nope I didn't. So the desktop installer should honor the preseed file... grrrr... well, mine didn't...
[21:14] <Matthias__> Hello, I just installed (or thought I installed) Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. When my computer boots up, all I get is command line stuff. I can log in with the name and password I set, but everything is command line. No desktop. How do I get to a point-and-click setup?
[21:21] <Kovica> GridCube: and unfortunatelly UCK cannot be used with mini.iso as it says that mini.iso is not a valid desktop or alternate CD
[21:44] <GridCube> mmmm
[21:45] <GridCube> Kovica, what if... you use a 12.04 alternate and then a dist-upgrade?
[21:46] <GridCube> maybe that a very long route
[21:47] <Kovica> GridCube: 12.04 takes about 20 minutes to install... and the dist-upgrade takes another hour, right ? I don't have that kind of time to wait for a single machine..
[21:48] <GridCube> mmmhm
[21:48] <GridCube> Kovica, http://www.ubuntu-mini-remix.org/
[21:48] <Kovica> GridCube: that's because the installation also has to take care of the DB2 installation and our application..
[21:52] <Kovica> GridCube: downloading remix now... let me see
[21:55] <GridCube> :)
[21:56] <GridCube> Kovica, see apt-offline too
[21:56] <GridCube> !info apt-offline

[22:36] <churl> Hello!  I'm trying to use <control>t as a keyboard shortcut in xfce4-terminal to set the title of the window/tab.  I've done this before and can't remember how I did it.  I know you usually can't/don't want to set your xterm shortcuts with just <control> but I'm very used to this now and can't remember how I got <control>t working to set the title.  Also I can't set AccelSetTitle= to anything that seems to work, IE AccelSetTitle=<c
[22:44] <ochosi> churl: just hover the menu-item with your mouse and press ctrl+t
[22:44] <ochosi> if you've enabled editable menu accelerators, you can set kb-shortcuts this way
[22:56] <jutas> Hi guys. Is there an application to customize display resolution?
[22:57] <churl> xrandr and arandr
[22:57] <churl> well, arandr for a dual setup
[22:57] <jutas> i know xrandr but that is not permanent
[22:58] <GridCube> how in earth i stop programs from opening in the other monitor
[22:58] <jutas> if i set with that it losts setting at next restart
[22:58] <GridCube> i mean i launch an app here, and it... opens there
[22:59] <GridCube> its freaking me out
[23:00] <churl> save your set up and have it ran on start up.  I'm not sure when/where the best place to have it run on start up, but my guess is pretty late, after the xfdesktop has ran and has drawn the desktop.
[23:00] <jutas> how can i save it?
[23:00] <churl> GridCube: is it opening windows on the left monitor?
[23:01] <churl> jutas: do you know how to write a basic script? :)
[23:01] <GridCube> yes
[23:02] <GridCube> i turned if off
[23:02] <jutas> churl: no. i'm not.
[23:02] <GridCube> this is silly, i need separated xservers
[23:03] <jutas> well i knew on win. it should be similar. i write the commands in text editor, save it and then rename for example bat format
[23:04] <churl> jutas: Make a file >  the first line should be #! /bin/bash > the second line should be your xrandr command line thing just written as if it is to be entered on the command line > chmod +x YOURFILENAME
[23:04] <GridCube> !arandr | jutas
[23:04] <GridCube> mmm
[23:04] <churl> GridCube: is one of your computer's a laptop?
[23:04] <GridCube> well there is no arandr entry
[23:04] <GridCube> no
[23:05] <GridCube> i have two monitors
[23:05] <jutas> churl: the chmod +x makes the format?
[23:05] <GridCube> jutas, open arandr, set your screens to your pleaseure
[23:05] <churl> jutas: it makes the new file executable :)
[23:05] <GridCube> save the config as a script, add that script to your session launcher
[23:06] <jutas> Gridcube: ther won't be the resolution that i want in the list
[23:06] <GridCube> are you using the proper drivers for your gpu?
[23:08] <jutas> GridCube: the other problem was always with arandr that it often doesn't even start
[23:08] <jutas> churl: I'll try it thanks.
[23:09] <churl> jutas: let me know if you need more explanations :)
[23:09] <jutas> GridCube: I cant install the proper driver downloaded from ATI site because there was compatibility problems
[23:09] <GridCube> freaking great
[23:09] <jutas> churl: I will for shure
[23:09] <GridCube> jutas, oh, ati, sorry to hear that
[23:10] <jutas> :)
[23:11] <jutas> it's an old Radeon 9600. What I don't understam is that on fedora and sabayon there is my wanted resolution from the box. iven on live cd. But I can't get on debian, and ubuntu distros
[23:12] <jutas> Now xubuntu is my favourite. So i stick with it. And this is my only unsolved problem for a week now.
[23:14] <GridCube> have you tried the default drivers?
[23:18] <jutas> yes. black screen. And there is another problem with mentioned distros. I have a Samsung 24"LCD display connected in DVI port, and the motherboard integrated. And in the display settings window it recognize the DVI as digital one and the other one has the name Samsung which is the integrated (only 800x600 option i think)
[23:19] <jutas> now xrandr says this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jadUmp73
[23:21] <GridCube> well?
[23:26] <jutas> so the script should be like this?: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7my75iVn
[23:29] <jutas> arandr has just crashed unexpectedly
[23:31] <jutas> churl: are you still here?
[23:31] <churl> jutas: yep
[23:31] <jutas> could you check the script above please?
[23:32] <churl> sorry, don't put the > after the /bin/bash :)
[23:34] <churl> not sure if it would even matter.. :/
[23:37] <jutas> I've corrected and put in the list of auto start applications. I couldn't organize which has to start first. It's on the bottom of the list
[23:38] <jutas> I restart now
[23:42] <jutas> churl: the 1360x768 is in the list now, but doesn't do anithing at all
[23:44] <churl> I don't believe I can help you beyond this.  I've spent way too much time trying to fix a similar problem.  My suggestion is to take the time to make a well-written post about your issue and provide all the information that you can and what you've already tried.  Hope this helps
[23:45] <jutas> Right. Thank you
