| Oweoqi | Really weird, when I try to set a keyboard shortcut in Xubuntu involving a Function keys it ignores the fact I pressed a function key. ANyone else know about this? | 04:55 |
| Oweoqi | fro example ctrl +F10 | 04:55 |
| baizon | Oweoqi: have you checkd if any other application is using it already? | 05:06 |
| Oweoqi | good point, I don't believe so, I will try again now | 05:12 |
| Oweoqi | hmm it sets it as <primary>F9 | 05:16 |
| Oweoqi | so it's settin git now but it;s unrespinsive | 05:16 |
| Oweoqi | baizon: you don't have any issues using the combo right ctrl + F9 key? | 05:18 |
| cinvoke | i deleted tomcat6 under etc and call apt-get remove tomcat6. now it will not reinstall. please help | 05:20 |
| cinvoke | <cinvoke> i get this error: chmod: cannot access `/etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml': No such file or directory | 05:20 |
| Cheri703 | Oweoqi: my only thought would be this: some computers have the f1-whatever keys only activated by pressing Fn, and the alternate use is the "default" use. could yours be like that? like pressing f9 by itself would normally adjust brightness (as an example), but fn+f9 would actually be getting whatever f9 is supposed to do. does that make sense at all? | 05:20 |
| Oweoqi | oh right that does, I didn't check | 05:22 |
| Oweoqi | I shall | 05:22 |
| Oweoqi | Also, I stupidly referred to the F keys as function keys | 05:23 |
| Oweoqi | I meant the key combo of Ctrl + F9 | 05:24 |
| Oweoqi | not Fn + F9 | 05:24 |
| Oweoqi | I apologise | 05:24 |
| Cheri703 | Oweoqi: a way to test what I was talking about | 05:24 |
| Cheri703 | if you go into your file manager and click on a file, pressing f2 should bring up the "rename" stuff | 05:24 |
| Cheri703 | if pressing f2 does that, then my suggestion is not what's wrong | 05:25 |
| Cheri703 | if you have to press fn+f2 to get rename, then that may be your issue | 05:25 |
| Oweoqi | right I will try that | 05:25 |
| Oweoqi | ok yeah it goes to rename | 05:25 |
| Cheri703 | ok, then nvm on my thought :/ | 05:26 |
| Oweoqi | Are you running Xubuntu? | 05:26 |
| Cheri703 | yes | 05:26 |
| Cheri703 | 12.10 | 05:26 |
| Cheri703 | with xfce 4.12 | 05:26 |
| Oweoqi | I'm wondering if I am the only one | 05:26 |
| Cheri703 | I know keyboard shortcuts were weird if trying to ctrl-alt-something | 05:26 |
| Cheri703 | or ctrl shift, I forget | 05:26 |
| Oweoqi | you can set shortcuts with the ctrl+f-whatever combo? | 05:27 |
| Oweoqi | I fyou can't I might report a bug, I get this issue on 4 computers | 05:27 |
| Cheri703 | it is set but it doesn't do anything | 05:28 |
| Oweoqi | yeah same as me | 05:28 |
| Oweoqi | weird hey | 05:28 |
| Cheri703 | the one I was thinking of is if you do ctrl+shift+something, it sets it as ctrl+something | 05:29 |
| Oweoqi | ah yeah | 05:29 |
| Cheri703 | well, I have to go take my dogs out. if you report or find a bug for that, let me know and I'll click it as affecting me as well | 05:29 |
| Oweoqi | I wonder if the behaviour I'm noticing is by design | 05:29 |

| mtrg | hi | 14:17 |
| mtrg | whenever my wifi connects, only "nameserver 127.0.0.1" is added to /etc/resolv.conf | 14:17 |
| mtrg | how to change this behaviour? | 14:18 |

| mtrg | how? | 14:18 |
| aicasn-V | dnsmasq | 14:26 |
| aicasn-V | it's a caching dns server that runs on ubuntu and variants | 14:26 |
| aicasn-V | if you don't want it, you can probably get rid of it with apt-get purge | 14:27 |
| aicasn-V | google first to be safe | 14:27 |
| aicasn-V | otoh, i find it very nice. it speeds up lookups which reduces a lot of that initial wait time before pages load | 14:27 |
| aicasn-V | same for other apps, not just browsers | 14:27 |
| xubuntu111 | hello i am new to xubuntu i am in the process of reinstalling it, am using a 32 inch lcd tv for monitor the last time i installed it the desktop's doesnt seem to scale to the screen size the dock and the menu bar always end up partly or whole outside the screen is there anyway i can make it fit the screen size any help would be greatly appreciated | 15:50 |
| holstein | xubuntu111: i would try the display settings tool that is included.. i would try arandr which is another tool... i would consider a custom xorg.conf | 15:53 |
| xubuntu111 | is arandr an already installed tool or do i have to install it? and if it is a custom xorg.conf what should i be looking to change? | 15:54 |
| holstein | xubuntu111: there is a tool included.. then you can try arandr.. install it if you dont have it... sometimes i get a knoppix live CD and get the desktop as i want it, and grab the xorg.conf from the live environment, and edit as needed | 15:55 |
| xubuntu111 | i already tried the display setting but no matter what resolution the problem doesnt seem to solve itself the lcd doesnt have an option to reduce or increase size vertically or horizontally so not much help there | 15:56 |
| xubuntu111 | aah i see | 15:56 |
| xubuntu111 | much appreciated i'll try that out | 15:57 |
| holstein | xubuntu111: graphics driver as well can matter | 15:57 |
| holstein | xubuntu111: are you saying, it used to look correct? and now it doesnt? | 15:57 |
| xubuntu111 | i am using the nvidia nouveau driver | 15:57 |
| holstein | its important to realize what is an issue with the machine and what is an issue with the TV | 15:57 |
| xubuntu111 | my card is a geforce 210 | 15:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu111: you might want to try the proprietary one | 15:58 |
| holstein | with my nvidia on tv, the nvidia configuration tool created an xorg.conf for me that i use | 15:58 |
| xubuntu111 | will try that too see if that does the trick | 15:59 |
| petres | Where (as in which file) is the wallpaper setting stored? | 15:59 |
| xubuntu111 | thanks a lot now i have a few idea's to try out :) couldnt find anything regarding this googling | 16:00 |
| holstein | petres: check in /usr/share/xfce4 | 16:02 |
| holstein | petres: you can always just search by filename | 16:02 |
| petres | holstein, I see the wallpaper files in that /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops, but I don't see any settings file that shows that xubuntu-precise-right.png is the default wallpaper. | 16:04 |
| holstein | settings file? | 16:04 |
| holstein | you can set them in the GUI | 16:05 |
| petres | What file tells xfce to use which file for the wallpaper? | 16:05 |
| petres | I don't want to use the gui to set it; I'm building a customized ISO. | 16:05 |
| petres | I'm in a chroot of the live CD and I want to change the wallpaper, among other things. | 16:06 |

| petres | I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization, but it's written for gnome. | 16:08 |
| petres | Somewhere there is a config file that xfce reads to determine the default user's wallpaper, but I can't seem to find it despite the power of google. | 16:09 |
| petres | Hmm; beginning of my last statement got loppe off. | 16:10 |

| well_laid_lawn | cinvoke: ubuntu and xubuntu use different terminal applications | 20:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | cinvoke: which are you using | 20:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | ? | 20:29 |
| cinvoke | xubuntu terminal emulator | 20:30 |
| cinvoke | opening software center to make sure | 20:30 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn: looks like i have installed root terminal, gnome-terminal(mistake probably), xfce4-terminal, terminal emulator | 20:32 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| well_laid_lawn | cinvoke: you said you had ubuntu 12.10 which is why I asked. with all terminals shut you can go to a tty and rename/remove the directory with the settings for xfce4-terminal from ~/.config/xfce4 | 20:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | !tty | 20:33 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 20:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | !tab | 20:33 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 20:33 |
| sSs | font size would be edit menu -> prefrences | 20:33 |
| well_laid_lawn | that should have the default settings returned for the terminal | 20:34 |
| David-A | you can start the normal xfce4 terminal from the accessories submenu. if no menu bar, right-click and show menubar | 20:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | he's buggered up copy/paste too | 20:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | somehow... | 20:35 |
| cinvoke | long story :) | 20:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | heh | 20:36 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn: so im in ~/.config/xfce4. i see desktop, panel,xfwm4 and xfconf | 20:37 |
| well_laid_lawn | I'm not on a xfce desktop atm so waas going from memory - give me a sec or two | 20:39 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn, im not sure which one to rename | 20:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | cinvoke: try ~/.config/terminal | 20:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | cinvoke: try ~/.config/Terminal | 20:40 |
| well_laid_lawn | capital T for Terminal | 20:40 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn, DNE | 20:41 |
| well_laid_lawn | fire up a Terminal and check it | 20:41 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn, no im saying it noed not exist | 20:42 |
| cinvoke | that path | 20:42 |
| cinvoke | the ~/.config folder has no Terminal folder | 20:42 |
| well_laid_lawn | should be ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc from what I can find - can someone else check it | 20:42 |
| laite | cinvoke: are you absolutely sure that you are running Xfce4-terminal (you can confirm this by start menu -> accessories -> run program ... -> xfce4-terminal ) and not something else | 20:43 |
| laite | well_laid_lawn: that is correct path | 20:44 |
| laite | it only gets created once some settings are changed, though, it's not there by default | 20:44 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn, checking | 20:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | ok from here - http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/advanced - it says ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | 20:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | in the hidden options section | 20:45 |
| David-A | cinvoke: ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc is settings for xfce4-terminal | 20:45 |
| David-A | cinvoke: (in xfce 4.6 that is, I'm a bit behind) | 20:45 |
| cinvoke | well_laid_lawn, ok, that loaded the correct one... so i wonder why i have no terminal folder in config | 20:45 |
| cinvoke | that one works perfectly too | 20:46 |
| cinvoke | so is terminal emulator just pointing to the wrong one, or do i have to add some files to get it back to the default terminal again? | 20:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | I dunno - just remove/rename the directory that has the terminalrc in it and start a terminal to check | 20:47 |
| David-A | cinvoke: my experience is the last installed terminal is the terminal-icon in the prominent place in the program menu, and the xfce4-terminal is in the accessories submenu. | 20:48 |
| David-A | cinvoke: i have not tested, but try re-install or re-configure xfce4-terminal | 20:49 |
| laite | I'm not sure what's the issue, but: Try looking in Settings Manager -> Preferred Applications -> Utilities (page), there is your 'default' terminal emulator | 20:49 |
| David-A | cinvoke: or better, just go to "settings>preferred applications" and select the terminal you want | 20:49 |
| laite | indeed :) | 20:49 |
| cinvoke | laite, ty! that worked | 20:52 |
