| trickyhero | hello, I just made a blog post on what I think could be improved on xubuntu, could I post it here? | 02:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | As a link, but in #xubuntu-offtopic | 02:12 |
| trickyhero | thanks | 02:12 |
| === xubuntu379 is now known as nezb | ||
| nezb | Just upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04... Xubuntu rocks! | 02:33 |
| nezb | The only sensible desktop Linux still around... all the other distros are going off the deep-end :P | 02:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Awesome. Now for the next week, support goes into #ubuntu+1 instead... | 02:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh really? What about Kubuntu? | 02:33 |
| nezb | Kubuntu is good, but I still prefer Xfce | 02:34 |
| nezb | although I must admit, KDE has come a long way since I first used it ... at version 1.x | 02:34 |
| nezb | Xfce is serious - "no frills" | 02:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | KDE 4.WhateverTheHeckThey'reOnTheseDays is awesome. | 02:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | nezb: GNOME 2, but not GNOME, nor 2.. | 02:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | It even has its own compositing manager, but you can use Compiz with it too | 02:35 |
| nezb | I don't need all that fancy stuff :P | 02:36 |
| nezb | (although I admit, transparent window borders look nice) | 02:36 |
| nezb | oh, and if there's any developers or maintainers in this channel, props to you too | 02:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Believe me, they're in here.. | 02:38 |
| nezb | SonikkuAmerica: probably have the window hidden as they frantically put the finishing touches before release day ;) | 02:39 |
| nezb | isn't it ~1 week from now? | 02:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yes. | 02:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | 6 days in fact. | 02:40 |
| nezb | so I guess technically we're in the release candidate stage | 02:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yeah, but there is no RC to be seen. | 02:40 |
| trickyhero | the daily builds are pretty much RC | 02:41 |
| SonikkuAmerica | There actually used to be designated RCs | 02:42 |
| nezb | it seems pretty stable to me | 02:42 |
| nezb | except for pulseaudio using 100% of my CPU from time to time ... | 02:42 |
| nezb | but I don't blame xubuntu on that | 02:42 |
| SonikkuAmerica | That's something to blame PulseAudio on. If your sound card is that low-end use Lubuntu | 02:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | It still uses ALSA by default. | 02:43 |
| nezb | it's an integrated sound card, but pulseaudio worked just fine in 12.04 and 12.10 | 02:43 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Expect it to. Those are stable releases. | 02:44 |
| nezb | and 13.04 isn't stable!? | 02:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | No | 02:44 |
| nezb | :( | 02:44 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Not until 25 April | 02:44 |
| nezb | Well, I like to live on the bleeding edge | 02:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Then, just like in test cricket, it will be declared. | 02:45 |
| nezb | if restarting pulseaudio every time it freaks out is what it takes to be on the bleeding edge... then I'll live with it | 02:45 |
| * nezb sighs | 02:45 | |
| nezb | ok all. it's time for me to go. | 02:46 |
| nezb | bye! | 02:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Me 2 bai | 02:46 |
| packetfrog | nezb Its not you | 02:46 |

| coder25 | thinkpad t40 (Pentium M 1gb RAM) has Xubuntu 12.10 installed now. PC is not PAE compliant, package installer is broken and won't repair, I need to install Abiword or Libreoffice. The Ubuntu website includes instructions for installing Ubuntu, where user is given the choice of replacing existing OS or not. I do want to replace Xubuntu 12.10 with Xubuntu 12.4. How do I do this? Thanks. | 03:59 |
| heoyea | is ur partition seperated? | 04:01 |
| coder25 | How do u recommend I check on partitions? | 04:03 |
| heoyea | u have all ur data backup? | 04:05 |
| coder25 | not much data. | 04:06 |
| coder25 | I'm familiar with unetbootin, bootable usb, gparted. | 04:07 |
| heoyea | well if u dont need those then just install as usual | 04:07 |
| coder25 | but i cannot install anything now, b/c installer is broken. | 04:07 |
| heoyea | put in livecd or liveusb | 04:08 |
| coder25 | i could use a different pc to create bootable usb | 04:08 |
| heoyea | sure | 04:08 |
| coder25 | please tell me in advance what u plan to do. thanks. | 04:08 |
| heoyea | didnt u want to reinstall? | 04:09 |
| coder25 | are u familiar with the non-PAE compliant issue? is Xubuntu 12.4 the one to use? | 04:11 |
| heoyea | PAE is only for ppl that wants to use 32bit system that has 4GB ram+ | 04:11 |
| coder25 | thanks. | 04:12 |
| heoyea | otherwise just use the regualer 32bit | 04:12 |
| coder25 | in running repair of the installer on Xubuntu 12.10, get error message that this PC is not PAE compliant and installer isn't repairable. I do plan to use the 32 bit 12.4, or should i go to a version prior to that? | 04:13 |
| heoyea | 12.4 is fine | 04:15 |
| coder25 | quit | 04:15 |
| coder25 | logoff | 04:15 |
| coder25 | how do i logoff? | 04:15 |

| Joe_______ | Hi all | 09:21 |
| Joe_______ | Anyone can tell if xubuntu 13.04 will be a LTS version? | 09:22 |
| Joe_______ | no info on google available... | 09:22 |
| koegs | Joe_______: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 09:23 |
| Myrtti | Joe_______: all Ubuntu derivatives release their LTS versions (if they have them) at same time with the main distribution which is every even year april. | 09:24 |
| Myrtti | at the current pattern | 09:24 |
| Joe_______ | Ooops,.. Got disconnected | 09:44 |
| Joe_______ | Thanks Myrtti | 09:44 |
| Joe_______ | The reason I'm asking is that Xubuntu seems to be offering LTS every two years | 09:45 |
| Joe_______ | There was no 11.04 LTS, 9.04 or 7.04 LTS | 09:45 |
| koegs | [11:23:35] < koegs> Joe_______: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 09:45 |
| Joe_______ | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu | 09:46 |
| Myrtti | Joe_______: as I said, every even year. | 09:46 |
| Joe_______ | I know about Ubuntu being LTS every April, but it does not seem to apply on Xubuntu | 09:47 |
| Joe_______ | Am I mistaken? | 09:47 |
| Myrtti | no, not every april | 09:47 |
| koegs | just read the wiki, LTS will be every two years for Ubuntu and Xubuntu is following that schedule | 09:47 |
| Myrtti | "all Ubuntu derivatives release their LTS versions (if they have them) at same time with the main distribution which is every even year April." | 09:48 |
| Joe_______ | Oh, I see | 09:50 |
| Joe_______ | So 18 months support, right? | 09:51 |
| koegs | Joe_______: did you even take a look here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 09:52 |
| Joe_______ | You get free security updates for at least 9 months on the desktop and server. | 09:53 |
| Joe_______ | That's what I read | 09:53 |
| Joe_______ | But from previous versions I have in mind that it was 18 | 09:53 |
| Joe_______ | I also see on the diagram that the orange bars are getting shorter in time | 09:54 |
| knome | Joe_______, from 12.10, regular releases are supported for 9 monts and LTS releases (for xubuntu) 36 months. | 09:56 |
| Joe_______ | Thanks again | 10:02 |
| Joe_______ | It's a shame, 13.04 looks sooo much better.... | 10:02 |
| knome | you can simply upgrade to 13.10 when it's out and you'll have the extended support period | 10:03 |
| Joe_______ | I think we'll stick to 12.04 and try apt-get dist-upgrade next year | 10:05 |
| Joe_______ | If something fails we'll stick to 12.04 until 2017 | 10:06 |
| knome | Joe_______, the xubuntu-speciifc parts only have 3 years of support though. | 10:08 |
| Joe_______ | Thanks for pointing out knome! This is important! | 10:09 |
| Joe_______ | Anyone else interested in support and reasoning on short 9 months: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-March/001527.html | 10:11 |
| Myrtti | Joe_______: the Ubuntu effort on mobile devices. | 10:13 |
| knome | well tbh, 18 months for the interim releases was "too good" to start with. i'm glad it happened though, but it's time to move on | 10:23 |
| antisober552 | Knome thx for the help last night i got the permission right | 10:32 |
| antisober552 | So i can save all my work | 10:33 |

| Stek_Turku | Hi all | 10:38 |
| Stek_Turku | does anyone have problems with thunderbird (xubuntu 12.04)? | 10:38 |
| jpmartins | Hi everyone... top of the morning for you guys :) | 10:39 |
| Stek_Turku | when i reply or write new mail, thunderbird open a new window after very very very very long time.... | 10:40 |
| Stek_Turku | it happen also when i open a mail in a new window... and it didn't happen if i open a mail in a new tab | 10:41 |
| jpmartins | Can anyone send me a list of printer brands that are Xubuntu friendly? | 10:43 |
| knome | jpmartins, http://www.openprinting.org/printers | 10:44 |
| jpmartins | Cool thanks... is that list regularly updated? | 10:45 |
| knome | as people test new printers, yes | 10:45 |
| knome | (and send them to that database, of coursE) | 10:45 |
| jpmartins | Of course :D | 10:45 |
| buchstabensalat | how much does enabling/disabling compositing affect battery run time? | 10:46 |
| jpmartins | Well thanks a bunch and have a great day :) | 10:46 |
| knome | you too | 10:47 |
| Stek_Turku | ... xubuntu 12.04 lts... apport doesn't work... ??? ubuntu-bug works... i am confused... why? | 10:49 |
| jpmartins | And a great weekend for all :) mine will be spended surfing... Lisbon has 25º C and mild winds for the weekend with some great waves pumping. For you guys who also love surfing... this is like honey :D | 10:50 |
| Dabido | Dabido | 11:11 |
| Dabido | Oops, so this morning when I turned on my box | 11:12 |
| Dabido | Compositing and windows borders were gone | 11:12 |
| Dabido | I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 but with the xfce ppa (Thunar 1.6.2) | 11:13 |
| Dabido | The mouse cursor is always busy, too | 11:13 |
| Dabido | Any ideas? Or at least, who should I report the bug to? | 11:14 |
| Dabido | Cheers | 11:14 |
| knome | Dabido, for starters, the ppa is not officially supported | 11:15 |
| knome | Dabido, you might want to run xfwm4 to get the window borders back though | 11:15 |
| Dabido | I understand. However, I'm a little confused as to where should I report the bug. Isn't it the expected thing to do? (I'll check xfwm4) | 11:17 |
| knome | well... not really, since you are running an unsupported version. | 11:17 |
| Dabido | Well, aren't some people (Xfce developers, for instance) interested in knowing this kind of things...? | 11:20 |
| knome | possibly. the point is that your bug might be a regression of you using the ppa | 11:21 |
| knome | so what is the bug even? | 11:21 |
| knome | window borders disappearing? | 11:21 |
| Dabido | No more borders, no compositing (the dock background is black) | 11:24 |
| knome | did you run xfwm4 already and did it fix your problems? | 11:24 |
| Dabido | Some fields can't be edited, alt-tab doesn't work and only one desktop (impossible to switch between desktops) | 11:25 |
| Dabido | Well, I just did and it worked. | 11:25 |
| Dabido | Thank you very much. | 11:25 |
| knome | ok, that's known, but we don't know what causes it | 11:25 |
| knome | usually a non-normal shutdown or something. | 11:26 |
| Dabido | Ok, sorry for bothering you then | 11:26 |
| knome | np | 11:26 |
| Dabido | I did try to look for the answer with a search engine, I promise. | 11:26 |
| knome | if you want to file bugs against xubuntu and are willing to use a non-LTS release, upgrade to 12.10 | 11:26 |
| knome | (and soon, 13.04) | 11:26 |
| Dabido | Should I change a value somewhere to prevent this from reoccuring on reboot? | 11:27 |
| knome | as long as you save your session on logout (or haven't saved it before), you are fine | 11:27 |
| Dabido | Good to know | 11:29 |
| Dabido | Well, I sorta of like the idea of LTS even though some of the features I find very useful arrived in xfce only later (hence the ppa) | 11:30 |
| knome | i can't promise anything, but the "interim" xubuntu releases have been pretty stable in the past as well | 11:31 |
| knome | i've been using them from the beginning in my production machines, and i've been fine (some upgrades have been problematic, but recoverable) | 11:31 |
| Dabido | In my (not so long) experience Xubuntu tends to be very reliable indeed. | 11:33 |
| cadfael | Q: Is there a simple way to drop the titlebar from the window decorations in xfwm? Since I already know the hotkeys, I'd like to dispense with the titlebars if I can... | 12:13 |
| TheSheep | cadfael: you could probably make a custom theme | 12:16 |
| TheSheep | cadfael: xfce-terminal also has an option for that, but that's just for the terminal | 12:17 |
| cadfael | Yes, a custom theme perhaps, or to switch out xfwm for a wm that supports titlebar toggle natively. It would surprise me if I was the first to ask this question. But googling around, I don't see a simpler answer. | 12:21 |
| TheSheep | cadfael: making themes is not that hard | 12:22 |
| TheSheep | cadfael: you can look at an existing one and try to modify it | 12:22 |
| cadfael | Okay then, I will try that first. Surely it can't be that hard. Thank you. | 12:23 |
| rusman_y_d | cadfael try do to /etc/usr/share/themes/....currenttheme.../xfcwm/ and edit themerc file | 12:24 |
| rusman_y_d | *go to | 12:24 |
| TheSheep | make a copy... | 12:24 |

| baizon | xubuntu234: i would recommend xubuntu, voyager isnt that good | 13:27 |
| GridCube | xubuntu234, voyager its not a recognized distribution | 13:27 |
| xubuntu234 | this is a good operating system? | 13:27 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu234, is good | 13:28 |
| baizon | xubuntu234: xubuntu > voyager | 13:28 |
| xubuntu234 | which is better? Xubuntu or voyager? | 13:28 |
| xubuntu234 | aha ok | 13:28 |
| GridCube | xubuntu234, you are asking in #xubuntu, what answer do you expected | 13:29 |
| baizon | GridCube: the truth :> | 13:29 |
| xubuntu234 | 12.04 Voyager I installed the stick, and after installation, I recognized Grub | 13:29 |
| SonikkuAmerica | He installed a stick? :) | 13:30 |
| xubuntu234 | now | 13:30 |
| cfhowlett | SonikkuAmerica, ESL ... pretty sure he meant he installed from a USB stick | 13:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Ah. | 13:30 |
| xubuntu234 | I installed the stick on a hard | 13:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Pardon my Murrica. | 13:31 |
| xubuntu234 | stick with the voyager 12.04 | 13:31 |
| koegs | xubuntu234: just install a plain Xubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 and you are good to go | 13:32 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Don't know much about Voyager, but I have corresponded with dedoimedo in the past... but yeah, why would I choose it over a French-language Xubuntu | 13:33 |
| cfhowlett | sacre bleu! | 13:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Voi si je m'inquiète. | 13:34 |
| xubuntu234 | I love Xubuntu is a good operating system | 13:34 |

| baizon | xubuntu065: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 15:39 |
| baizon | look under Minimum system requirements | 15:39 |
| GridCube | xubuntu065, lubuntu its recommended, or xubunt 12.04, sadly xubuntu aint recommended for old hardware anymmore | 15:40 |
| xubuntu065 | Tahnk u GridCube, can u recommend a ditstro? | 15:41 |
| holstein | xubuntu065: lubuntu is what GridCube just recommended.. though, you can try xubuntu live and see | 15:41 |
| GridCube | puppy, slitaz, tinycore, dsl, slax, lubuntu, all should work xubuntu065 | 15:42 |
| xubuntu065 | thank u | 15:42 |
| xubuntu065 | lubuntu probably the fanciest one?? | 15:43 |
| packetfrog | largest of those | 15:43 |
| packetfrog | :> | 15:43 |
| GridCube | its ubuntu based, so probably, though slitaz its pretty enough, and puppy its powerful enough, and tinycore its tiny enough, and dsl its too | 15:43 |
| holstein | xubuntu065: AFAIK, they all have a live mode, try them and see which fits your needs | 15:44 |
| xubuntu065 | imo pupy slitaz dsl all look oldfashiond | 15:44 |
| xubuntu065 | i tried them all already :) | 15:44 |
| holstein | xubuntu065: if you are looking for a distro for old-fashioned hardware.... | 15:45 |
| GridCube | P: you will gotta live with that with old fashioned hardware xubuntu065,though you can always prettify | 15:45 |
| xubuntu065 | i want it all , fancy look, fast, little, good performance, great hw support. haha :) | 15:47 |
| koegs | bodhi linux, ubuntu based, E17 window manager | 15:48 |
| Xajinal | Have you tried enlightenment? It's extremely quick even with a lot of flashy effects | 15:48 |
| GridCube | i liked slitaz, it looked nice for me | 15:48 |
| xubuntu065 | Haha, i actually supposed to joke and got new dsitros. This is nice. | 15:50 |
| xubuntu065 | Didnt try Lighwight nor bodhi | 15:50 |
| xubuntu065 | thx 4 recommending | 15:50 |
| holstein | xubuntu065: the hardware support is not a problem.. the memory you have and the celeron might be.. i used to run main ubuntu 10.04 with gnome2 on my celeron 900 with 1 gb of ram.. i would just try some things live and see.. peppermintOS is a nice LXDE implementation | 15:51 |
| Xajinal | The fastest OS is always one you have compiled from source naturally... so Gentoo might be worth checking out, though it will take more time to configure initially | 15:51 |
| xubuntu065 | Somehow I have the feeling this is a much more friendly community the suse :) | 15:53 |
| xubuntu065 | I'll give the lightweight a try | 15:53 |
| packetfrog | :) | 15:53 |
| GridCube | xubuntu065, you can install xfce on puppy and use some fancy theme | 15:54 |
| xubuntu065 | also a very nice idea GridCube | 15:55 |
| aiena | Is there a way to find out CPU and graphics card and other temperatures in xubuntu | 16:15 |
| packetfrog | aiena There are dock apps for cpu/hdd/gpu if a remember right | 16:17 |
| aiena | you mean panel | 16:17 |
| koegs | aiena: lsusb, lspci or lshw | 16:17 |
| koegs | oh, sorry, did read that wrong | 16:18 |
| packetfrog | also apt-get hddtemp sensors-applet | 16:18 |
| GridCube | !sensors | 16:18 |
| ubottu | To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 16:18 |
| packetfrog | Thank god for gridcube :) | 16:18 |
| aiena | hmm what aboutout gpu and mother board temperatures ? | 16:18 |
| aiena | thanks gridcube for this link though :) | 16:19 |
| packetfrog | aiena lm sensors does motherboard | 16:20 |
| GridCube | aiena, all sensors informations is available trhough lmsensors | 16:20 |
| packetfrog | and gpu apparently :> | 16:20 |
| aiena | ok wow !! :) | 16:20 |
| GridCube | you need to add some program that can use lm sensor though, like an applet for the panel, there are many | 16:20 |
| holstein | aiena: i use conky | 16:21 |
| aiena | I am a 3D hobbyist so I use my PC for rendering so it can get hot and it does get handy to monitor temperatures | 16:22 |
| aiena | holstein: will have a look | 16:22 |
| aiena | holstein: is conky a terminal app like alsamixer or it has a gui and integrates with the desktop ? | 16:23 |
| holstein | !info conky | 16:23 |
| ubottu | conky (source: conky): highly configurable system monitor (transitional package). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.0-2 (quantal), package size 3 kB, installed size 42 kB | 16:23 |
| packetfrog | aiena Conky makes an overlay on your desktop outputting info for you | 16:24 |
| holstein | ^^ i use the overlay on the deskop | 16:24 |
| packetfrog | aiena images.google.com search Conky screenshot and you can see some crazy setups people have | 16:24 |
| aiena | packetfrog: I have a realtek card on my PC which gives awesome output on WIndowswhen I run ALSAmixer in terminal it list my card so I assume that linux is detecting it butI dont get that good quality sound | 16:25 |
| aiena | should I install the realtek driver on the website ? | 16:25 |
| holstein | !audio | 16:26 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:26 |
| packetfrog | ^ | 16:27 |
| holstein | aiena: i would open a terminal and run "aplay -l" | 16:27 |
| holstein | if you see output there, then, i would move on to "alsamixer" and trust *none* of the labels.. then, to pavucontrol also trusting no labels | 16:27 |
| aiena | holstein: Built in analog input is listed but not my realtek device | 16:28 |
| aiena | but alsa mixer list the device | 16:28 |
| aiena | weird | 16:28 |
| holstein | aiena: trust *no* labels | 16:28 |
| aiena | the built in stereo sounds crap | 16:29 |
| holstein | aiena: built in analog device could be it | 16:29 |
| holstein | aiena: also, if you are using 2 devices, and you can disable one in the bios, one that you are never going to use anyway.. that can make life easier | 16:29 |
| aiena | hmm its a laptop so I guess the soundcard is integrated | 16:30 |
| holstein | aiena: you can check the bios and see if it can be disabled... | 16:30 |
| Faris | Hi. What's the simplest way to share wi-fi using wi-fi itself ? | 16:39 |
| Faris | I get internet from Wi-Fi, and I want to share it using the same wi-fi adapter. | 16:39 |
| Faris | I know it's possible under windows using "Connectify Hotspot" | 16:39 |
| Faris | Is there such a solution under xubuntu ? | 16:39 |
| holstein | Faris: http://askubuntu.com/questions/72989/how-to-share-my-wifi-internet-via-wifi | 16:41 |
| GridCube | Faris, http://askubuntu.com/questions/1385/how-to-set-up-ubuntu-as-wireless-accesspoint | 16:41 |
| Faris | Thank you! | 16:41 |
| Faris | by the way, how do we call this kind of wi-fi sharing ? | 16:44 |
| xfce | ap mode | 16:44 |
| Faris | ap for access point ? | 16:44 |
| xfce | check ur adapter first | 16:44 |
| Faris | It already proved that it could do it under windows | 16:45 |
| xfce | there is 2 types , ad-hoc and ap | 16:45 |
| xfce | on ad-hoc u can use encrypt web, on ap mode u can do it wpa wpa2 etc | 16:46 |
| holstein | Faris: the windows driver support is irrelevant | 16:46 |
| Faris | is it normal that I may only share with wpa2 encryption ? | 16:47 |
| Faris | and that I cannot do it without encryption at all? | 16:47 |
| xfce | no is not, if u can do wpa2 u should be able to do wpa/wep aswell | 16:48 |
| xubuntu064 | Hi all. I need to know how set spanish language in Xubuntu | 17:04 |
| xubuntu064 | I instaled only spanish language and the OS is still in english! | 17:06 |
| GridCube | xubuntu064, you need the language pack | 17:06 |
| baizon | xubuntu064: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152032 | 17:07 |
| baizon | xubuntu064: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/setting-languages/ | 17:07 |
| GridCube | :) xubuntu064 you can also come join us in #ubuntu-es if you want to | 17:07 |
| cgardner | Hey guys, I have a dual screen setup, and it seems that my VGA connected monitor is offset to the left and wrapped. Has anyone seen this before? | 17:07 |
| GridCube | offset? | 17:08 |
| GridCube | you mean like when you maximize a window it doesnt occupy the whole screen? | 17:08 |
| xubuntu064 | thank's for the link | 17:08 |
| cgardner | GridCube: It does take the whole screen, but it's pushed to the left, and the stuff that should be off the screen is on the right. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl1rqagc0e0nwbq/IMG_20130419_100000.jpg | 17:09 |
| cgardner | That picture shows what it's doing | 17:09 |
| cgardner | This is a fresh install with only a few packages installed | 17:09 |
| GridCube | oh i see | 17:10 |
| cgardner | weird, right? | 17:11 |
| GridCube | cgardner, see if you dont have over "suposition?" of space using arandr | 17:11 |
| cgardner | GridCube: how do I do that? | 17:14 |
| GridCube | open arandr and see | 17:15 |
| GridCube | with your eyes P: | 17:15 |
| cgardner | It doesn't look weird, and I moved the screens around a bit to see if it made any differences. It didn't | 17:17 |
| GridCube | try changing they orders | 17:21 |
| GridCube | like one on top of the other or its sides | 17:21 |
| GridCube | see if that changes something | 17:21 |
| GridCube | restart xfwm4 with xfwm4 --replace and then restart the panels using xfce4-panel --restart | 17:22 |
| cgardner | neither worked | 17:24 |
| GridCube | change the monitor resolutions using arandr? | 17:25 |
| cgardner | not using arandr, but I did change the resolutions | 17:25 |
| Cheri703 | cgardner, it is not the "officially supported" method, but I installed xfce 4.12 to deal with my dual monitor setup and it has been completely fine for me | 17:30 |
| Cheri703 | I did this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-multiple-monitors-in-xubuntu.html | 17:30 |
| cgardner | Cheri703: I tried that yesterday, but I had the same problem. I re-installed this morning thinking that that was the problem... Turns out that I was wrong. | 17:31 |
| cgardner | :( | 17:31 |
| Cheri703 | OHHHH | 17:31 |
| Cheri703 | I know what you're talking about | 17:31 |
| Cheri703 | where when you boot up your mouse goes on to the other screen, right? | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | boot without the vga monitor connected, then plug it in after. it'll work fine | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | it's super duper annoying | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | what video card do you have? | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | that happens with mine if I use a vga and a non-vga | 17:32 |
| Cheri703 | OR install amd catalyst (if it's an amd card) (though to be fair, this one only worked when I used regular ubuntu, I had hiccups with xubuntu) and you can set it up in there and it's happier | 17:33 |
| techno__ | Hello all, I am looking to get involved with a linux community if someone could point me in the right directions that would be much appreciated | 18:00 |
| GridCube | techno__, :) please join #xubuntu-devel | 18:01 |

| nantou | the printer is holding a work on hold and i dont know why | 18:13 |
| nantou | I have cancelled it several times, after waiting for 5 minutes only to see that it didnt do anything | 18:14 |
| GridCube | Cheri703, P: this might be your area of expertise | 18:15 |
| Cheri703 | I'd suggest rebooting both printer and computer and trying it again | 18:16 |

| cadfael | Q: In thunar, I often use the ctrl-S hotkey to find useful files with "Select by Pattern". It's a great feature, but it would be even better if it was case-insensitive. Didnt see anything in thunarrc about this. Does anyone know howto fix this plz? | 23:38 |
| packetfrog | Sorry I do no not. Im just a user like you though. | 23:39 |
| packetfrog | You should be able to use Regex | 23:40 |
| packetfrog | something like [gG][a-bA-B].* | 23:41 |
| cadfael | Of course, and yes I know to do regex. But writing regular expressions isn't the fastest way to search. Ctrl-S is already super-useful, case-insensitive would just make it a little quicker. | 23:45 |
| cadfael | Anyhow, if case-insensitive isnt avail, then I will have to make do. Maybe lodge a feature request somewhere. | 23:46 |
