[03:12] <maitake_> hi #xubuntu
[03:12] <maitake_> just installed xubuntu for the first time and strangely it crashes constantly
[03:13] <maitake_> adding things to the dock, loading certain software, or clicking on the wrong thing spits me to the login screen
[03:14] <maitake_> is there a log i could check perhaps?
[03:14] <holstein> maitake_: i would test as a different user
[03:16] <maitake_> kk
[03:17] <maitake_> nope.. same problem :X
[03:17] <holstein> maitake_: i would look at the graphics driver.. see if that is causing instablitiy
[03:18] <maitake_> perhaps.. i need to install propietary nvidia drivers?
[03:18] <holstein> maitake_: i would try that.. i did
[03:18] <holstein> !nvidia | maitake_
[03:18] <maitake_> oh i know
[03:18] <maitake_> thanks though
[03:38] <maitake_> thanks holstein
[03:38] <maitake_> fixed it :) was a driver issue after all
[03:39] <holstein> maitake_: cheers!
[09:56] <heraclitis> How do I remove xubuntu on a windows7/xubuntu 12.04 install, using windows?
[09:57] <SunStar> delete the partition, resize the windows partition, then use the windows boot disk to re-install the bootloader
[10:02] <heraclitis> Good deal, SunStar, thanks
[11:08] <FRO5T> After having bitter experience with linux mint from 2 years, finally took a decision to switch on ubuntu and found that xubuntu to be the best for me. Linux mint and it's newer X server doesn't support anymore the legacy radeon hd series, in order to install ati catalyst 9.3 or older version I had to install mint 13 or previous release - but but but they got issue with the wireless which makes the wireless device to disconnect from the conn
[11:08] <FRO5T> ected network in about every 15 minutes or less. LMDE become pure wheezy after installing updates and it is wiping every single change that the user has made, and after that update the user has no shutdown or restart buttons. Thanks on xubuntu and their xfce that allowing me to install the xlfrg ati drivers manually. Fuck mint !
[11:08] <bazhang> FRO5T, no cursing here
[11:10] <FRO5T> Oh forgot to add, if you disable the ipv6 in sysctl it wont allow you to use any wireless connection. Removing the pidgin or libreoffice Breaks the bloody distro. For my experience with xubuntu for about hour I did all these things without breaking any single line.
[11:11] <bazhang> FRO5T, MINT shortcomings is not really on topic here
[11:11] <bazhang> try #xubuntu-offtopic
[11:11] <FRO5T> well I describe why most of you will never have to go with mint
[11:11] <bazhang> its not on topic here.
[11:12] <FRO5T> I remember while installing xubuntu the splash screen image said: join us in our irc channel and express your minds
[11:13] <bazhang> support here; #xubuntu-offtopic for chit chat
[11:13] <FRO5T> im not seeking support, just expressing my feelings
[11:13] <bazhang> so /join #xubuntu-offtopic
[11:14] <FRO5T> ok
[14:04] <FRO5T> Why there is no option for compression on files after I right click on the file(s), but I got extraction option for already archived file(s) ?
[14:04] <FRO5T> I've got to manually add the desired file(s) in the archive manager and then create a compressed file(s), that could be done for a 3 seconds if there was a right click compression option..
[14:07] <heoyea> thunar-archive-plugin
[14:08] <FRO5T> It came pre-installed by default on 12.04
[14:08] <heoyea> highlight all the files u want and rightclick
[14:09] <FRO5T> Doesn't work this method for folders
[14:10] <heoyea> ?
[14:10] <FRO5T> I got more than 15 folders and want to compress them to a single archive
[14:10] <heoyea> works on any file
[14:10] <FRO5T> The method which you mentioned doesn't work with folders, but with every other File(s)
[14:11] <heoyea> no issues here
[14:12] <FRO5T> There is less than 4 hours since I installed xubuntu 12.04
[14:14] <FRO5T> I found what is causing that issue
[14:14] <FRO5T> So I CANT compress folders while they are on the Desktop directory
[14:14] <FRO5T> Lol why is this happening
[20:01] <FRO5T> How do I bind keys to launch programs in Xubuntu ?
[20:02] <TheSheep> FRO5T: settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts
[20:03] <FRO5T> Thank you
[20:07] <FRO5T> TheSheep are you Bulgarian ?
[20:07] <TheSheep> FRO5T: no, polish
[20:07] <FRO5T> Okay sorry :[
[20:07] <TheSheep> but I know it's a popular name there
[20:08] <FRO5T> yes it is ;D
[20:08] <TheSheep> btw, there is #xubuntu-offtopic for non-support chat
[20:09] <FRO5T> okay thanks
[20:35] <Peyam> hi
[20:35] <Peyam> I hide the menu bar in thunar file manager. so everytime I open a folder the menu bar is gone
[20:35] <Peyam> How do I reset the default
[20:38] <TheSheep> Peyam: how did you hide it?
[20:38] <Peyam> well I click on view> uncheck menu bar
[20:38] <TheSheep> Peyam: what version of xubuntu is this?
[20:38] <Peyam> 12.10
[20:39] <TheSheep> I have that version but I can't see such an option, are you sure this is Thunar?
[20:39] <Peyam> Open ur home folder
[20:39] <Peyam> and look at view
[20:39] <Peyam> in menu bar
[20:41] <TheSheep> Peyam: http://imgur.com/3gcwhYk
[20:41] <TheSheep> Peyam: then what?
[20:41] <Peyam> status bar
[20:41] <Peyam> mabe
[20:42] <Peyam> y
[20:42] <TheSheep> status bar controls the status bar -- at the bottom
[20:42] <TheSheep> are you sure you are using Thunar and not some other file manager?
[20:43] <Peyam> I use thunar yes
[20:43] <Peyam> I dont have the manu in front of me
[20:43] <Peyam> But I know it was something there
[20:43] <TheSheep> if you open a terminal window and type 'thunar' and press enter, do you see the same kind of window as normally when you click your home directory?
[20:43] <Peyam> wait
[20:43] <Peyam> same windows
[20:44] <Peyam> sam window
[20:45] <TheSheep> what does 'thunar --version' say?
[20:45] <TheSheep> mine is: Thunar 1.4.0 (Xfce 4.10)
[20:46] <Peyam> 1.6.2
[20:46] <Peyam> xfce 4.10
[20:46] <TheSheep> did you install it from some other sources than the official repositories?
[20:47] <TheSheep> because that's not the version that comes with 12.10
[20:47] <Peyam> I installed with with xubuntu
[20:47] <Peyam> I have updated the system so Its maybe updated too
[20:48] <TheSheep> !info thunar
[20:48] <TheSheep> 1.4.0 is the official version
[20:48] <TheSheep> are you sure that is xubuntu?
[20:48] <Peyam> Well I havent updated it manually
[20:48] <Peyam> Yes
[20:49] <TheSheep> if you type 'apt-cache policy thunar', what url do you get?
[20:50] <TheSheep> btw, I can't help you with that version of thunar, because I don't know it yet, but you may get better help at #thunar or #xfce
[20:50] <Peyam> http://pastebin.com/ZFNi6Hu7
[20:50] <TheSheep> so you have it installed from a ppa for xfce 4.12
[20:51] <Peyam> ohh yeah I was to force to add a ppa to fix my dual screen issue
[20:51] <Peyam> It maybe came with that
[20:51] <TheSheep> anyways, best ask at #thunar
[20:52] <Peyam> haha nobody is there
[20:52] <TheSheep> then #xfce
[20:53] <TheSheep> Peyam: you can also try editing ~/.config/Thunar/thunarrc
[20:55] <FRO5T> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1230607
[20:55] <TheSheep> FRO5T: that's something else
[20:56] <FRO5T> my bad ;[
[20:56] <TheSheep> Peyam: there should be something like LastMenubarVisible
[20:56] <Peyam> and?
[20:56] <TheSheep> FRO5T: no, no, I'm glad that you are helping
[20:56] <TheSheep> Peyam: it's set to FALSE
[20:56] <Peyam> haha
[20:56] <TheSheep> Peyam: set it to TRUE and save
[20:56] <Peyam> I just needed to press ctrl+m
[20:56] <TheSheep> \o/
[20:57] <Peyam> Now I see that my version has the option "uncheck menu bar"
[20:57] <FRO5T> Wanna have fun - http://imgbox.com/adre9fYs , mint 14 after installing ati drivers ;D
[20:57] <TheSheep> I suppose we will get it in 13.04
[20:58] <Peyam> FRO5T: I think Mint has lots of application that are not really neccesarry
[20:58] <Peyam> FRO5T: do you install the drivers manually?
[20:58] <TheSheep> FRO5T: yeah, binary drivers suck
[20:58] <FRO5T> Anyone that wants to tear off his hear must try mint then he will be off for a long time
[20:59] <TheSheep> that's nice, but this is a xubuntu channel
[20:59] <FRO5T> im just saying hands off from the mint
[20:59] <TheSheep> for non-support chat, please join #xubuntu-offtopic
[21:00] <Peyam> FRO5T: Im happy with xubuntu..
[21:00] <Peyam> but mint has a nice theme
[21:00] <Peyam> the only thing that attracting me
[21:01] <FRO5T> I was long time debian & mint user, but after mint 11 everything with it dissapear in several years. Today I've installed xubuntu and I am glad that I did it ;]
[21:01] <Peyam> it is the perfect dist
[21:02] <Peyam> even my grandma can use it
[21:02] <FRO5T> yeah, the freedom of customization reminds me to arch ;D
[21:03] <FRO5T> See you tomorrow guys
[21:12]  * Wizard yawns.
[21:19] <veebull> hello all
[21:20] <veebull> recently reinstalled xubuntu 12.10 over my old ubuntu 12.10
[21:20] <veebull> previously I'd had also installed the xubutu packages along with the regular unity desktop, but had too many duplicates, etc.
[21:21] <Wizard> Duplicates?
[21:21] <veebull> even then I had some oddness going on with the sound on my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T530) in xubuntu
[21:22] <veebull> Now with the fresh install, I'm still having issues with intermittent sound - sometimes it works, sometimes after a reboot, it doesn't.
[21:22] <veebull> any ideas as to why sound would work perfectly in ubuntu/unity but not in xubuntu?
[21:26] <Wizard> Dunno.
[21:26] <Wizard> I would launch pavucontrol and check if everything is on place.
[21:26] <Peyam> hmm
[21:28] <veebull> well thats interesting....
[21:29] <veebull> this laptop has dedicated hardware buttons (not function keys) for muting the speaker and mic, as well as volume control.
[21:30] <veebull> Apparently when I hit 'mute' using the hardware switch, for some reason I'm not able to *un*mute using the same hardware switch.
[21:30] <veebull> but I was able to unmute the sound using pavucontrol...?
[21:31] <SunStar> it sends a command to mute.
[21:32] <veebull> so any guesses why the hardware switch isn't working to un-mute in Xubuntu, but does in regular Ubuntu?
[23:47] <nooooo> hi
[23:48] <nooooo> my laptop gets hot and loud in ubuntu but not in win
[23:48] <nooooo> *xubuntu
[23:48] <nooooo> when i pull the electric cable off its getting cooler and more silent
[23:49] <nooooo> how to use the battery-powered mode with the dc cable connected?
