[01:25] <xubuntu506> how do i download 7zip
[01:26] <Unit193> !info p7zip-full
[01:30] <Unit193> xubuntu506: You can use USC to get it, or sudo apt-get install p7zip-full  to get it.
[01:33] <xubuntu506> i type that in erminal?
[01:33] <xubuntu506> terminal*
[01:33] <xubuntu506> sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[01:33] <xubuntu506> how can i use usc ?
[01:34] <xubuntu506> unit193 how do i know if it was downloaded sucessfully?
[01:35] <Unit193> That command would install it.
[01:35] <Unit193> !software
[01:38] <xubuntu506> let's see if it works.. downloading a .zip file
[01:43] <xubuntu506> wow cant find it
[01:43] <Unit193> You can use "file-roller", which is called "Archive Manager" in the menus.
[01:43] <David-A> xubuntu506: zip and 7zip are different things
[01:47] <xubuntu506> theres no 'extract"

[14:25] <Jessica898> Is any way to remove icons from desktop ? like trash bin
[14:26] <baizon> Jessica898: yes
[14:26] <len-1304> settings manager ->desktop ->icons tab
[14:27] <len-1304> at the bottom is Default icons where you can remove icons one at a time
[14:27] <baizon> Jessica898: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/preferences#icons
[14:27] <len-1304> I use the one at the top to remove all of them... (Icon type)
[14:27] <Jessica898> thank you :)
[14:28] <len-1304> np
[14:32] <ceegee> hi there
[14:34] <ceegee> I am using xubuntu 12.10 64 bit on my pc with two screens, connected with DVI to a nvidia card. After login to my XFCE session the screen is duplicated (all the same on booth screens). I am able to set one screen as primary and the other one as extended with xrandr, but I have to do this manually on every boot.
[14:35] <len-1304> ceegee, If you then go to the settings manager and select display
[14:35] <len-1304> and change anything back and forth, it will save your settings
[14:36] <ceegee> I tried to put the xrandr command into startup applications in the xfce settings menu, did not work, next try was to set the command in .xprofile, but it failed
[14:36] <len-1304> xfce has a config daemon that sets up xrandr that wouold over write that.
[14:38] <ceegee> okay, now I changed the resolution to a lower one, said "keep changes", reverted it back to the original value and kept this change too
[14:38] <len-1304> if you use the settings manager->display dialog to rotate a screen then put it back to normal it will save the screen setting including possition to the xfce file
[14:38] <len-1304> So you should be able to reboot and have it stay that way
[14:38] <len-1304> Just a note
[14:38] <len-1304> ...
[14:39] <ceegee> I hope so, if not I will ask you again ;-)
[14:39] <ceegee> hehe
[14:39] <len-1304> if you ever boot with only one screen then this set of settings will be lost
[14:39] <len-1304> Handling dual screens is an area that "needs work"
[14:40] <holstein> driver support as well
[14:40] <ceegee> yeah, I see
[14:40] <holstein> that can be a deal breaker.. driver support
[14:40] <ceegee> okay guys, I wil give it a try
[14:40] <ceegee> see you later
[14:40] <len-1304> bye]
[16:03] <smudger> hi all
[16:03] <smudger> can anyone answer a quick easy question
[16:03] <holstein> !ask
[16:03] <smudger> kind of poll really so more replies the better
[16:03] <smudger> ;)
[16:04] <smudger> what are folks experience with gksudo or gksu?
[16:04] <holstein> smudger: a poll is probably better for the offtopic channels
[16:04] <holstein> !ot
[16:04] <holstein> !gksudo
[16:04] <smudger> yes i know that
[16:05] <smudger> but when i use it it hangs my system for several minutes
[16:05] <holstein> smudger: then, i would ask the support question here.. what hangs? gksudo? how? what is the command you are running?
[16:06] <smudger> its not a poll really - just that i need more foljk to reply to establish if i have an individual problem with my install or its a bug to report
[16:06] <smudger> say i want to edit a file without changing to root ownership
[16:07] <bazhang> what file
[16:07] <smudger> i gksudo leafpad or gedit or even nano
[16:07] <smudger> any file
[16:07] <bazhang> which one, be very clear please
[16:08] <smudger> say fstab for example but its not a good example as it would not be helpful to be told well just use sudo ;)
[16:09] <bazhang> smudger, best to give the exact issue. not some hypothetical
[16:09] <smudger> any file
[16:09] <bazhang> no idea
[16:09] <smudger> any text file
[16:09] <smudger> ok so noone else having this problem
[16:09] <bazhang> you have not described any problem
[16:09] <smudger> that is what i need to know ;)
[16:10] <smudger> when i try to open a text file using any text editor in combination with gksudo or gksu the system freezes for a while - a few minutes
[16:11] <smudger> i don;t see how that is not a problem described but hey i am just human ;)
[16:11] <bazhang> system settings files, as in /   , are not the same as in your home. thats why there is no answer as you have not given any details at all
[16:11] <smudger> how can i be more exact than that!
[16:12] <smudger> ah so i need to check if i get the same delay outside root area
[16:12] <smudger> well that my small brain can understand
[16:12] <smudger> k will check
[16:13] <smudger> may be a while before i get thawed.. maybe not
[16:16] <justakill> i install pyglet, pygame and pyopengl throw apt-get but i can't find the modules anywhere in my library's
[16:16] <justakill> threw*
[16:16] <justakill> i can't import them either
[16:16] <justakill> anyone know what I can do?
[16:16] <justakill> or where they are?
[16:19] <smudger> ok just got thawed after gksudo a backup text file in /home partition area
[16:19] <smudger> same partion as where my user folder is
[16:20] <smudger> so ruled out possibility that caused by trying to edit file in root partition
[16:21] <smudger> but i am assuming that no-one else has this problem since no-one has mentioned it and gksudo is probably prefferred by most as per psychocat link
[16:22] <smudger> so i will have to check forum more thoroughly and see if anyone else has had same problem before posting a new thread.
[16:24] <smudger> at least i got a response here that was supportish which is more than can be said for when i tried out mint - where they hang out egos mostly it seems ;)
[16:25] <smudger> other than this gksu freeze everything else works well for me - 12.04 xubuntu
[16:27] <smudger> is there some log file somewhere which i can find to see what is happening during the freeze period?
[16:28] <smudger> that would be helpful to know
[16:28] <smudger> if anyone knows
[16:28] <smudger> oh well...
[16:29] <len-1304> log files are all in /var/log/
[16:29] <smudger> is there a log of what is happening when programs are executed?
[16:30] <len-1304> Ones to look at are syslog, messages, auth.log,
[16:30] <smudger> tnx!
[16:30] <smudger> very helpful
[16:31] <smudger> i'll keep this open in case anyone else chips in like that
[16:38] <smudger> i don;t have a messages file in /var/log
[16:39] <smudger> in auth log there is a mention not of any problem but the timestamps show a 3 minute delay in completetion of the gksudo request to gedit the file
[16:39] <len-1304> No problem, I think it mostly there for old time sake, most of the stuff that used to use messages has been split off into its own file.
[16:39] <smudger> k
[16:40] <smudger> it may be a conflict with lightdm
[16:40] <smudger> since gksudo brings up the graphical passwd box
[16:40] <smudger> even when using nano or something.
[16:40] <bazhang> nano does not use gksudo
[16:40] <len-1304> look in the xorg file and in ~/.xsession-errors
[16:41] <smudger> k
[16:42] <len-1304> smudger, honestly, for the amount of time people use gksudo, even if it did take time to do anything most people wouldn't notice.
[17:11] <aicasn-V> hey all. i'm having trouble getting windows name resolution to work and i'm not sure why. i have the winbind package installed (ver 3, not 4) and i have  hosts: files wins dns  in my /etc/nsswitch.conf    i still cannot resolve MyWindowsPC1 from my xubuntu box.  any ideas?
[17:13] <aicasn-V> to be specific, a couple of utilities can resolve the hostname to an ip, but not all...  getent hosts [hostname] works, ping [hostname] works, but nslookup [hostname] does not and host [hostname] does not
[17:14] <aicasn-V> most importantly, nor does boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver
[17:15] <GridCube> i... understood some of those words
[17:17] <aicasn-V>  :)  i need a networking guru
[17:19] <bazhang> ##networking then aicasn-V
[17:19] <aicasn-V> ah. ty
[17:19] <bazhang> np
[18:16] <xubuntu789> lol killin time
[20:16] <Alexz4nder> I'm having trouble getting XFCE to start after the login screen on Xubuntu 12,04. I've encountered this problem before with the .Xauthority file ownership, but this time there must be something else preventing it from starting up. Anyone have any ideas?
[20:19] <baizon> Alexz4nder: try removing the .cache folder
[20:20] <Unit193> !xhangs
[20:22] <Alexz4nder> I've changed ownership of the .ICEauthority file but that didn't fix it. I can try removing it and see if that works.
[20:22] <baizon> Alexz4nder: ubottu said remove this file ;)
[20:23] <Alexz4nder> yes, that's what I was responding to.
[20:24] <Alexz4nder> I can try the .cache folder after that
[20:38] <Alexz4nder> neither of those worked
[20:41] <Alexz4nder> and the GUI doesn't hang. After entering pw, it goes blank (as it normally does), but then goes right back to the login screen.
[20:43] <Alexz4nder> I've had this identical problem before on another machine, so I looked up the problem and found that changing ownership of .Xauthority fixed it. But now I'm having same problem on another machine and cannot get it to work.
[20:43] <Alexz4nder> I have to shut down lightdm and do "startxfce4" to get GUI to start up.
[20:43] <Alexz4nder> that's the only way it works
[20:44] <Alexz4nder> But then I have another problem. I want to access it remotely. I have Vino installed on the machine that's having the problem, and I'd like to access it with Vinagre.
[20:45] <Alexz4nder> but X11 won't run, and when it does with "startxfce4", for some reason Vino won't start up.
[20:50] <Alexz4nder> how would I have the system start up with "startxfce4" instead of "lightdm"?
[20:52] <Alexz4nder> when I try to start Vino server, I get this message:
[20:53] <Alexz4nder> WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=[lots of numbers I just replaced] --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
[20:54] <Alexz4nder> ** Message: The desktop sharing service is already running, exiting.
[20:54] <Alexz4nder> but it's not running.
[20:58] <Alexz4nder> could it be that "startxfce4" is starting up in ctrl+alt+F8 and the monitor is stuck in ctrl+alt+F7? I've experienced something like that before. I'm trying to do this all remotely right now.
[22:15] <trewe> anyone an idea were to configure the x and y coordinates of the lightdm window?
[22:16] <trewe> not in /etc/lightdm/*.conf
