[00:01] <LJSeinfeld> I could launch it at start with the Startup Apps function, but I'd like to make sure the VPN is up before it runs
[00:05] <Unit193> LJSeinfeld: You need to export your display.
[00:06] <Unit193> DISPLAY=:0 transmission-gtk   or   export DISPLAY=:0 somewhere near the top of the script.
[00:06] <LJSeinfeld> lemme give that a try -- thanks :D
[00:06] <Unit193> ps aux | grep auth | sed -n 's/.*X\ \(.*\)\ -core.*/\1/p'    to figure out what display "port"
[00:09] <LJSeinfeld> get a bunch of errors with that -- but "DISPLAY=:0 transmission-gtk" works
[00:10] <LJSeinfeld> any idea on how to make it "let go" of the terminal window?
[00:10] <LJSeinfeld> put an "&
[00:11] <LJSeinfeld> "
[00:11] <LJSeinfeld>  after it maybe?
[00:12] <LJSeinfeld> not even sure what that's called… searching away..
[00:13] <Unit193> You can then type other things, but once you close the terminal window, adios.

[00:14] <LJSeinfeld> sweet , the ampersand did it
[00:15] <LJSeinfeld> thanks
[00:52] <David-A> BillyZane: 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.
[00:56] <LJSeinfeld> how do you enable file sharing in Xubuntu?  I installed the file-sharing enabler from Software Center… but I'm not sure how to set up folder sharing
[00:57] <LJSeinfeld> I don't see any options when I get properties on a folder
[00:59] <LJSeinfeld> (in Thunar)
[02:06] <nukke> what's the default terminal emu on xubuntu?

[05:46] <emmanuel0791> Hello
[05:49] <emmanuel0791> I 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 help
[06:01] <lolcat> emmanuel0791: yes
[06:02] <bullgard4> emmanuel0791: What is "bacl"? What is "SC"?
[06:23] <emmanuel0791> I meant back* and SC = Software-Center
[06:28] <emmanuel0791> lolcat: Did you mean " yes " as in bug or setting?
[06:30] <lolcat> emmanuel0791: I meant yes as in: yes [that is like a bug or a setting maybe]
[06:34] <emmanuel0791> lolcat: 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 Terminal
[06:57] <emmanuel0791> Another question: Is it possible to run Win-software and applications under Xubuntu?
[07:00] <louigi> hey guys! I got a problem which is well explained by someone here but it never got a reply:
[07:00] <louigi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1758031
[07:00] <louigi> Can someone help?
[07:01] <baizon> emmanuel0791: yes, you can use wine to run windows apps on linu
[07:01] <baizon> *linux
[07:02] <baizon> louigi: try to clear the .cache dir (back it up first)
[07:02] <baizon> emmanuel0791: which apps are running you can check here: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[07:03] <louigi> baizon, will try, okay
[07:03] <louigi> baizon, you think the settings are not being updated?
[07:04] <baizon> yes
[07:12] <emmanuel0791> baizon: Thank you :)
[07:16] <louigi> baizon, cannot back up cache, it says it cannot copy "special file"
[07:16] <baizon> louigi: dont login into xfce
[07:16] <baizon> use terminal
[07:17] <louigi> ah, I see
[07:17] <louigi> are there any other things in the cache that can be important? I see lots of files there! Maybe I can delete just a particular file from there?
[07:19] <baizon> not for me :)
[08:37] <Maccer> Does xubuntu have a development channel?
[08:38] <Maccer> Ah, that it does.

[10:55] <XATRIX> Hi guys, how can i disable autostart of teamviewer daemon ? I found file that starts it : /etc/init/teamviewerd.conf http://fpaste.org/cM3c/
[10:56] <XATRIX> I checked the Session and Startup in Settings menu of XFCE
[10:56] <XATRIX> But it's not listed there
[11:04] <baizon> XATRIX: check cron dir
[11:04] <baizon> else you can look at session & startup
[11:05] <XATRIX> baizon: which one session & startup ?
[11:06] <koegs> you could also take a look at ~./config/autostart or /etc/xdg/autostart
[11:06] <baizon> XATRIX: ok, so check /etc/cron* dir for a teamviewer entry
[11:07] <XATRIX> koegs: nothing in there
[11:08] <XATRIX> The only file i found is -> ./init/teamviewerd.conf:exec /opt/teamviewer8/tv_bin/teamviewerd -f
[11:08] <XATRIX> in /etc
[11:08] <koegs> XATRIX: how did you activate the autostart?
[11:08] <XATRIX> I simply installed .deb package from official website, and now it starts wine itself and daemon
[11:09] <XATRIX> I need it not so often, so i'd like to disable it autostart
[11:10] <baizon> XATRIX: you can make a script which disables teamviewer
[11:11] <XATRIX> :) maybe it's better to disable script that runs teamviewer everytime i start my PC
[11:12] <baizon> you have for example teamviewer --daemon start/stop
[11:12] <XATRIX> Nope
[11:12] <baizon> XATRIX: a ok
[11:12] <XATRIX> I don't have it in /etc/init.d
[11:12] <baizon> please check rc lvl
[11:13] <baizon> for example install BUM, then there will be a teamviewer entry. Just disable it
[11:13] <XATRIX> Everything is empty
[11:40] <XATRIX> Ok, i removed the symlink in /etc/init/    @teamviewer and it stops to autoload
[12:31] <folmer> I seem to be having trouble with xfsettingsd not loading anymore
[12:32] <folmer> because the display can't initialize (VBOX0)
[12:33] <folmer> so yes, it's on a virtual machine
[12:33] <folmer> any ideas?
[13:50] <rieux_tarrou> Does anyone know why Ristretto stalls when trying to open a .tif? Does this happen for anyone else?

[15:27] <victor__> hello! im experiencing issues with thunar. there is a 25 second delay when i click on a directory. then maybe out 20 seconds later a second window pops up. is this a bug or just an issue with my system?
[15:33] <GridCube> victor__, thats when you first open thunar for the day, the rest of the time it works properly
[15:33] <GridCube> correct?
[15:34] <GridCube> then https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/775117
[15:34] <GridCube> its a pretty good known bug
[15:35] <GridCube> you need to follow comment 13 workaround to fix it, or update to xubuntu 12.10 and get xfce 4.10 with its new thunar and there is no more problem
[15:36] <victor__> Thank you GridCube!!!

[17:06] <GermainZ> I'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 :)
[17:13] <GridCube> what is your gpu?
[17:13] <GridCube> do lspci | grep "VGA"
[17:14] <GermainZ> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1)
[17:25] <GridCube> yes, GermainZ try the drivers
[17:27] <GermainZ> Alright, thanks.
[18:30] <SuperLag> I've got two monitors connected to my system, and when I look at the display options... I don't see a way to change the layout. How do you do that? It's mirroring right now, and I want to have one on the left, one on the right
[18:31] <Cheri703> SuperLag: there isn't an officially supported way to do that in xfce 4.10
[18:31] <baizon> SuperLag: i recommend installing arandr. It's a nice tool which allows you to do configurations for multimonitor
[18:31] <Cheri703> the unsupported way I am using is http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-multiple-monitors-in-xubuntu.html
[18:34] <SuperLag> :(
[18:35] <SuperLag> it works, but I'm starting to wonder if there isn't something wrong with the video card
[18:35] <SuperLag> the second display is flickering
[18:37] <baizon> SuperLag: wrong refresh rate?
[18:40] <SuperLag> both are running at 60Hz
[19:57] <xubuntu877> can anyone tell me how to unistall ccze in xubuntu

[20:12] <Simb3> Folks... just downloaded Xubuntu. Next step is to install it via USB. How to proceed?
[20:46] <emmanuel0791> Question: Is it normal that while i install apps from the Software-Center the Debconfig window pops in several times?? It can get a bit annyoing when i try to type while that so i ask if it is a bug or a setting maybe
[20:49] <emmanuel0791> I use Xubuntu 12.10 by the way

[22:35] <xubuntu665> when i installed xubuntu 12.10 why are there firefox 16.01 and not 19 ?
[22:36] <pleia2> xubuntu665: you have to run updates :)
[22:37] <xubuntu665> not yet.. usally there was the newest firefox without updates i think.
[22:38] <pleia2> no, if you just install from the basic CD you get what was on it when it was released, which is 16
[22:38] <pleia2> so you just want to run regular updates, it'll download the current one in the repo
[22:39] <xubuntu665> I understand.. is it no updates if i let it download updates when installing  ?
[22:39] <xubuntu665> I meen firefox in this case
[22:39] <pleia2> not sure, I'd just suggest you run updates now and see what sows up
[22:39] <pleia2> shows
[22:40] <xubuntu665> I think the same..
[22:40] <xubuntu665> How long can i use this 12.10 ? even after the next comes ?
[22:43] <Luciferis> can i get some help for installing google earth?
[22:44] <Unit193> !info googleearth-package
[22:45] <Luciferis> weel but they're lot; is to build? i start twho?
[22:47] <nantou> im interested too, if its to build version 7
[22:48] <Luciferis> ysorry folks i'm bit stoned.
[23:04] <folmer> heya. I seem to be having trouble with xfsettingsd which cannot start due to an error with initialization of a display called VBOX0 (yes, it's a VM). I have no idea where to start looking for a solution or what to do about it
[23:08] <folmer> It just happened from one day to the next. All themes were gone, all icons as well, and keyboard shortcuts...
[23:13] <Luciferis> http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/googleearth-package  here i don't have any deb file?
[23:17] <Unit193> Luciferis: You use synaptic or a command like  sudo apt-get install googleearth-package.
[23:19] <Luciferis> well, see you later
[23:31] <Luciferis> does it make a difference if i intalled this google eath package within the download's directory; i still have nothing installed
