David-ABillyZane: first I got a little disappointed, but I'd started out with black tea. It turned out lemon and lime works better with green tea. And I liked lemon a little bit more than lime. More tests when I have got the proper kind of green tea.00:52

emmanuel0791Hello05:46
emmanuel0791I have a question about Xubuntu 12.10 running on my PC: When updates available ( red sign on task bar ) and i click it and confirm the action to download them while i am in Software-Center the red sign disappears for a moment as it should but then comes bacl with the same message like before " X updates available " .. when i close the SC it works properly.. so is that a bug or a setting maybe? Thank you for your help05:49
lolcatemmanuel0791: yes06:01
bullgard4emmanuel0791: What is "bacl"? What is "SC"?06:02
emmanuel0791I meant back* and SC = Software-Center06:23
emmanuel0791lolcat: Did you mean " yes " as in bug or setting?06:28
lolcatemmanuel0791: I meant yes as in: yes [that is like a bug or a setting maybe]06:30
emmanuel0791lolcat: Oh okay yeah i think that too... but i guess it is more likely a bug since the settings do not give any options about updates ( at least the general settings don't ) ... unless it is something that can be set in Terminal06:34
emmanuel0791Another question: Is it possible to run Win-software and applications under Xubuntu?06:57

XATRIXHi guys, how can i disable autostart of teamviewer daemon ? I found file that starts it : /etc/init/teamviewerd.conf http://fpaste.org/cM3c/10:55
XATRIXI checked the Session and Startup in Settings menu of XFCE10:56
XATRIXBut it's not listed there10:56
baizonXATRIX: check cron dir11:04
baizonelse you can look at session & startup11:04
XATRIXbaizon: which one session & startup ?11:05
koegsyou could also take a look at ~./config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart11:06
baizonXATRIX: ok, so check /etc/cron* dir for a teamviewer entry11:06
XATRIXkoegs: nothing in there11:07
XATRIXThe only file i found is -> ./init/teamviewerd.conf:exec /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/teamviewerd -f11:08
XATRIXin /etc11:08
koegsXATRIX: how did you activate the autostart?11:08
XATRIXI simply installed .deb package from official website, and now it starts wine itself and daemon11:08
XATRIXI need it not so often, so i'd like to disable it autostart11:09
baizonXATRIX: you can make a script which disables teamviewer11:10
XATRIX:) maybe it's better to disable script that runs teamviewer everytime i start my PC11:11
baizonyou have for example teamviewer --daemon start/stop11:12
XATRIXNope11:12
baizonXATRIX: a ok11:12
XATRIXI don't have it in /etc/init.d11:12
baizonplease check rc lvl11:12
baizonfor example install BUM, then there will be a teamviewer entry. Just disable it11:13

GermainZI'm having some text tearing issues: parts of the text (words, letters, pixels) randomly disappears while typing/scrolling. Usually clicking forces a refresh and fixes it till I start typing again. Is this a drivers issue? I'd rather hear someone's opinion before downloading the proprietary drivers with my rather slow connection. Thanks :)17:06

xubuntu665not yet.. usally there was the newest firefox without updates i think.22:37
pleia2no, if you just install from the basic CD you get what was on it when it was released, which is 1622:38
pleia2so you just want to run regular updates, it'll download the current one in the repo22:38
xubuntu665I understand.. is it no updates if i let it download updates when installing  ?22:39
xubuntu665I meen firefox in this case22:39
