| ntzrmtthihu777 | hello | 00:47 |
| Miningdude | How are you today? | 00:47 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I am well, and yourself? something I can help with? general chatter goes in xubunt-offtopic | 00:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *xubuntu-offtoptic | 00:48 |
| Miningdude | Nothing to help with right now; Just wanting to join the #XUbuntu community! | 00:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Miningdude: welcome, then! | 01:08 |
| Miningdude | Thank you ntzrmtthihu777! Installing xUbuntu in a Virtual Machine, on crap internet is FUN! | 01:09 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | lol. setting up a server on crap internet, now *that* is fun | 01:25 |
| Miningdude | Have a problem now; In the VM (Virtualbox) I just finished the install and it told me to reboot. Hit the reboot button, and now it is stuck at a "Caught Signal 15, Shutting Down..." | 01:25 |
| Miningdude | screen | 01:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | no clue, sir. sorry I have no answer for you :( | 01:32 |
| Miningdude | Going to post a pic of the screen | 01:32 |
| Miningdude | (Taken with iPod Touch 5g. Sorry for size) | 01:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | should get scrot + imagebinit (custom bash script) | 01:34 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | sorry, no clue sir. perhaps another can assist? | 01:35 |
| Miningdude | Installed xUbuntu 13.04 (I believe, let me check the iso name) on a virtual machine. After install, I rebooted and it gave me that screen. | 01:36 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I've lost sound, any care to assist? perhaps its due to an ongoing install of StarCraft II | 01:36 |
| bwat47 | does your sound card show in the sound settings or does it just show dummy output | 01:37 |
| Miningdude | Check http://reddit.com/r/xUbuntu ? | 01:37 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bwat47: it shows the true sound card, it just died :/ | 01:38 |
| bwat47 | is it via hdmi? | 01:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bwat47: nope, onboard speakers. lemme test the headphone jack real quick. | 01:39 |

| nicklasbo | Hi All. Periodically my computer becomes laggy, the HD activity led is constantly on and in iotop i see one process using most of the io. See its long command in http://paste.ubuntu.com/5653737/. I'm running Xubuntu 13.04. Can this be mitigated this? | 07:54 |
| bazhang | which process | 07:56 |
| Manolitico | my propblem is solved with pavucontrol :) | 07:56 |
| bazhang | nice work Manolitico | 07:57 |
| nicklasbo | The command was in the paste, the rest of iotop is 3903 idle nobody 2.57 M/s 0.00 B/s 0.00 % 82.31 %. | 07:57 |
| Manolitico | i have to go | 07:57 |
| Manolitico | bye | 07:57 |
| bazhang | which process nicklasbo ? a torrent client? | 07:57 |
| nicklasbo | No, it is find | 07:58 |
| bazhang | bye | 07:58 |
| nicklasbo | But I'm not running find | 07:58 |
| nicklasbo | the find command is in the paste. | 07:58 |
| nicklasbo | It stopped now, but it runs from time to time with resulting freeze-ups of the UI. | 07:59 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, I wonder if it might be related to gvfs-backends. I used to encounter major delays opening thunar and traced it to that. I now remove that as a matter of course when installing xfce | 08:02 |
| fallore | if i disabled my drives from showing on my desktop, whats the fastest way to access a file manager? there isn't one in the top left dropdown menu for me | 08:03 |
| th0r | fallore, add Places to the panel | 08:03 |
| fallore | ty :) | 08:04 |
| nicklasbo | th0r, will look into it :) Are there any way to inspect who spawned the find? | 08:05 |
| fallore | oh man thats so much better :D | 08:05 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, I am sure there is, but I don't know it offhand | 08:05 |
| nicklasbo | ok, thanks :) | 08:06 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, as I understand it, gvfs-backends indexes the network drives to allow Thunar to access them directly. That find command seems to be searching for networked file systems for some reason. (not a bash guru...so didn't decode the entire thing_ | 08:07 |
| nicklasbo | OK, do you now if there are any side effects of doing apt-get remove gvfs-backends? | 08:11 |
| nicklasbo | know* | 08:11 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, I haven't found anything noticeable. If you check the web you should find some links about it...that is where I got the idea. Was searching for ways to speed up thunar and found that. | 08:12 |
| nicklasbo | Great, will give it a go then. I can always just install it again. Thanks! | 08:12 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=21742 | 08:14 |
| donnie | I dig the new 13.04 but how come Chrome won't work? | 08:20 |
| nicklasbo | th0r, The following packages will be REMOVED: gvfs-backends software-center xubuntu-desktop :-) | 08:22 |
| th0r | donnie, if you run chrome from the command line you might see an error that will help | 08:22 |
| donnie | I downloaded the deb. how can I try and install it from the command? Sudo apt-get install chrome? | 08:23 |
| nicklasbo | donnie, there is a depedency error with libudev0 right? | 08:23 |
| th0r | nicklasbo, wow....wonderful how they have linked that all together. Removing xubuntu desktop is ok...it is just a meta-package. Don;'t know about software centre....but I dont use it so wouldn;'t miss it <smile> | 08:23 |
| donnie | nicklasbo: yes | 08:23 |
| nicklasbo | donnie, Chrome have a fixed in there repository, but it haven't reached stable yet. | 08:24 |
| donnie | Ok. so I will wait a bit. I have chromium now so I'm good | 08:24 |
| nicklasbo | Ok, you could run their daily/nighly builds. | 08:24 |
| donnie | Yeah. I'll stick with the chromium. it's really the same thing | 08:25 |
| nicklasbo | :-) | 08:25 |
| donnie | Now to wipe out pulse and install mixer | 08:25 |
| donnie | I like it better | 08:25 |
| nicklasbo | th0r, thanks for your help :-) | 08:25 |

| ran_ | i need help about boot in 13.94 | 09:50 |
| ran_ | 13.04 | 09:50 |
| Gargravarrr | hi, i'm having a problem getting the 13.04 ISO to boot | 10:58 |
| Gargravarrr | just wondering if anyone else has or if it's a problem with my discs or something | 10:59 |
| ronalds | try checking for disc errors | 11:00 |
| ronalds | also check if you haven't downloaded 64 bit for 32 bit pc | 11:00 |
| Gargravarrr | i've got an x64 PC and have the x64 image | 11:00 |
| elfy | if you didn't get the download from a torrent - check the md5sum for it | 11:00 |
| Gargravarrr | ah, forgot about the checksum | 11:01 |
| Gargravarrr | okay, the checksum matches, but if i try to mount the ISO on my machine to check it works, i get an error saying no valid FSes found | 11:03 |
| Gargravarrr | actually, forget that, i just tried mounting a 12.04 ISO for comparison and that gives the same error | 11:04 |
| ronalds | you have intel pc/ | 11:04 |
| ronalds | ? | 11:04 |
| Gargravarrr | yep | 11:04 |
| ronalds | then 32 bit pal | 11:04 |
| elfy | not if the machine's 64 bit :) | 11:05 |
| Gargravarrr | it's a C2D with x64 support, i've had Xubuntu 12.04 x64 running on it but i messed it up :) | 11:05 |
| ronalds | even if it's 64 bit, those iso are mostly for amd | 11:05 |
| Gargravarrr | archiecture's the same | 11:05 |
| ronalds | there is no difference between running 64 bit and 32 bit pal | 11:06 |
| Gargravarrr | like i say, i've had 12.04 x64 working on this machine. in fact it still boots, but i've messed up NetworkManager | 11:06 |
| Gargravarrr | there is if you have a tonne of RAM ;) | 11:06 |
| ronalds | there isn't since 32 pal uses all the ram anyway | 11:07 |
| ronalds | but you can argue with me, and never get intel machine running if iso doesn't supports intel | 11:07 |
| elfy | ronalds: the 64 bit iso is not called amd because it's only for amd | 11:08 |
| Gargravarrr | it's because AMD defined the architecture so the name stuck, but Intel use the same | 11:08 |
| ronalds | then write another disk, till you get it working, what can I say | 11:08 |
| Gargravarrr | will do, burning a different DVD now | 11:09 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: so when you try to boot what does it actually do? | 11:09 |
| ronalds | I seriously doubt that 64 bit version will give any improvment over 32 bit pal intel image | 11:09 |
| Gargravarrr | elfy: nothing, doesn't see the DVD as a bootable disc | 11:10 |
| ronalds | but maybe | 11:10 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: you burning as an image I assume and have set bios to boot from cd first | 11:10 |
| ronalds | maybe it's uefi | 11:10 |
| Gargravarrr | ronalds: there are certain things x64 does more efficiently than x86, like video processing which i do from time to time | 11:10 |
| ronalds | I do video processing on my intel 32 bit with hd 3000 integrated card | 11:11 |
| Gargravarrr | elfy: i used the boot popup menu to specifically select the CD drive | 11:11 |
| ronalds | I don't seem to run in any problems | 11:11 |
| Gargravarrr | i'm not saying x86 can't do it, but if the CPU upports x64, it's more efficient to use x64 versions | 11:11 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: ok - and as ronalds - uefi? | 11:11 |
| Gargravarrr | the board is definitely not UEFI, it's plain BIOS :) | 11:11 |
| elfy | and it's burnt as an ISO ? | 11:12 |
| Gargravarrr | yep | 11:12 |
| elfy | does it get to the man/keyboard stage? if it does that - hit a key and there are some options at F6 - nomodeset acpi etc | 11:13 |
| ronalds | I had this problem on old hardware as lubuntu didn't wanted to run | 11:13 |
| ronalds | but xubuntu seemed to run on anything | 11:13 |
| elfy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing_the_CD_Boot_Option_Configuration_Line | 11:14 |
| ronalds | installing ubuntu and then xubuntu-desktop, would give the same thing | 11:14 |
| ronalds | you could remove ubuntu packages after install | 11:14 |
| Gargravarrr | hmm, wonder if i'd have better luck booting it off a pen drive instead of a DVD | 11:14 |
| elfy | I always use those now | 11:15 |
| fallore | how do i access a windows network's shared folders? | 11:15 |
| Gargravarrr | elfy: like i said, it doesn't detect the disc as bootable so it skips to the main HDD | 11:15 |
| ronalds | or even taking 12.04 and upgrading it to 12.10 and later to 13.04 or rewriting precise in sources with raring | 11:15 |
| Gargravarrr | i wanted to do that but i messed up NetworkManager and can't get online | 11:15 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: ceertainly sounds like it's not recognising that the disc is an image | 11:15 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: I use unetbootin | 11:16 |
| ronalds | I would try another distro by this time | 11:16 |
| Gargravarrr | i only have a 3G connection at the moment so downloading ISOs is expensive :) | 11:16 |
| Gargravarrr | right, new disc has finished burning, let's try it out... | 11:17 |
| ronalds | too bad for you, btw whats your hardware? | 11:17 |
| Gargravarrr | Core 2 Duo 3GHz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, GF550Ti | 11:18 |
| Gargravarrr | a little old, sure :) but plenty fast enough for what i need | 11:18 |
| ronalds | I would say gaming machine as you have nvidia | 11:19 |
| Gargravarrr | yep | 11:19 |
| Gargravarrr | also nVidia are the only cards that properly work with Linux in any form | 11:19 |
| ronalds | why not run usual ubuntu, don't like unity? | 11:19 |
| ronalds | kde also is fine choice with 13.04 | 11:20 |
| Gargravarrr | yeah, absolutely hate Unity, <3 Xfce | 11:21 |
| ronalds | almost any card nowadays works fine with linux, but you don't get gaming factor on some of them | 11:21 |
| ronalds | I have pc that used to run win 2000 and now it has xubuntu 12.04 with no problems | 11:22 |
| Gargravarrr | i used to like ATi until AMD bought them, since then their driver support in windows has gotten worse for me, so i went nVidia-exclusive | 11:22 |
| ronalds | can't play games that used to run in windows, but good for skype, web browser, and family needs | 11:22 |
| Gargravarrr | yeah, i know, this machine used to run 12.04 okay, with a few issues from upgrading from 11.10 | 11:22 |
| Gargravarrr | so i want to do a fresh install | 11:23 |
| Gargravarrr | elfy: if i want to boot from a pen drive, do i just dd the ISO to the USB disk? | 11:23 |
| elfy | you could but I use unetbootin | 11:24 |
| Gargravarrr | what's that? | 11:24 |
| elfy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UNetbootin | 11:25 |
| Gargravarrr | that's quite neat | 11:25 |
| elfy | yep - works for me :) | 11:26 |
| Gargravarrr | and there's a Mac port too, fantastic | 11:26 |
| elfy | :) | 11:26 |
| ronalds | I love all the environments for different purpoises | 11:34 |
| ronalds | kde has homerunner widget which can replace unity | 11:34 |
| ronalds | with 13.04 | 11:34 |
| ronalds | so if xubuntu 13.04 doesn't run, I can suggest trying kubuntu with kde 4.10 | 11:35 |
| Gargravarrr | thanks for the suggestion, but i would much rather stick with Xfce | 11:35 |
| Gargravarrr | if 13.04 really won't install, i'll drop back to 12.04LTS | 11:36 |
| ronalds | I just can't imagine living without ability to search for all the docs and apps in one smooth app | 11:39 |
| Gargravarrr | i almost never use search, and i use Launchy as an app launcher | 11:43 |
| Gargravarrr | weird. UNetbootin didn't throw any errors, but trying to boot from the USB disk doesn't seem to be working | 11:50 |
| elfy | Gargravarrr: I'd double check the boot options, sometimes usb has been seen as a hdd rather than a usb | 11:54 |
| Gargravarrr | i definitely get the USB disk in the bootable disk popup | 11:55 |
| elfy | k - well if you've done the deed with unetbootin and you've checked the iso checksum I don't know | 11:56 |
| Gargravarrr | yeah :S never had this problem before | 11:56 |
| elfy | me neither | 11:57 |
| Gargravarrr | bingo, had to do it manually | 11:57 |
| elfy | excellent | 11:57 |
| Gargravarrr | well, i hope this works. last time i tried to install Xubuntu from a USB disk it failed spectacularly :S | 11:58 |
| Gargravarrr | CD-RWs have always been my preferred approach. darn 13.04 for being just a smidge too big! | 11:58 |
| elfy | well - I've been installing with USB's for a couple of years without issue | 11:58 |
| elfy | dvd's not even connected lol | 11:59 |
| Gargravarrr | heh. last time, i tried to install 12.04 on a Dell workstation, but it errored out before it finished installing. wrote the same image to a CD-RW and it installed perfectly | 11:59 |
| elfy | :) | 12:00 |
| Gargravarrr | now, fingers crossed this won't break my Win7 install | 12:05 |
| Gargravarrr | good news, 13.04 booted up fine :) | 12:19 |
| elfy | excellent | 12:19 |
| Gargravarrr | question: what happens about nVidia drivers in this version? i don't see the 'Additional Drivers' option anywhere | 12:19 |
| elfy | settings manager - software sources - last tab in that is where additional drivers lives now | 12:20 |
| elfy | software and updates perhaps :) | 12:21 |
| Gargravarrr | yep, found it, thanks | 12:22 |
| Gargravarrr | loads of different versions, i assume i should be using the 'tested' one? | 12:22 |
| Gargravarrr | stupid question, actually :) | 12:24 |
| elfy | I get totally confused by the long list ... I use nouveau :) | 12:25 |
| elfy | I think it's the 310 one | 12:25 |
| Gargravarrr | yeah. nouveau's okay, but i like having full 3D support | 12:26 |
| Gargravarrr | fantastic, everything installed and working. now typing this from the xubuntu machine ^_^ | 13:08 |
| lderan | woo | 13:12 |
| Gargravarrr | thanks for your help guys, much appreciated | 13:12 |
| anon1 | Is it just me or am I missing the panel Icon that would normally tell me when I had messages waiting? thought it was the indicator plugin, but when I try adding that I realize I have two of that. | 14:11 |
| gatsu1000 | good evening all | 17:10 |
| gatsu1000 | someone can give me a little help? | 17:10 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: just ask.. we'll see | 17:10 |
| gatsu1000 | how can i see which video card i've on the motherboard? | 17:11 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: i would google the manufacturers site.. or look on the box, or the case.. or run a live CD on the hardware and run "lspci".. or use whatever device recognition there is on whatever OS is on the hardware | 17:12 |
| gatsu1000 | i've installed xubuntu a couple of days ago | 17:12 |
| gatsu1000 | but not much used to it, sorry | 17:12 |
| gatsu1000 | ok, found^^ thanks a lot^^ | 17:13 |
| gatsu1000 | now i've just to figure out how to set the color deep of the monitor... | 17:13 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: i would take it slow.. if it was windows you were running before, think about how long you used windows "as-is".. without setting *anything* | 17:14 |
| gatsu1000 | i see, but i've a couple of issues i can't fix in any way... | 17:15 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: just elaborate about them here, or another support avenue and maybe a volunteer can help | 17:16 |
| gatsu1000 | i think i've some video issue; for example, flashplayer just make me listen music but video is somewhat corrupted | 17:17 |
| ball | gatsu1000: I like it. | 17:17 |
| gatsu1000 | and "desktop" background seems to be with a wrong color dept | 17:17 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: seems? | 17:17 |
| ball | gatsu1000: Have you looked in the Settings Manager? | 17:18 |
| gatsu1000 | mmm, i don't know how to explain it... | 17:18 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: i wouldnt worry about the wallpaper.. first thing i would do is consider using a proprietary graphics driver if one is available | 17:18 |
| ball | In the Hardware section I see Display. | 17:18 |
| gatsu1000 | i'm trying to search for it, but can't understand exactly which one is | 17:18 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: is it youtube that is the issue? in flash?.. you can try the html5 trial https://www.youtube.com/html5 | 17:19 |
| gatsu1000 | with lsmod, in video i see i915 | 17:19 |
| ball | Oh that's odd. I see resolution (really mode, that's mislabelled) and refresh rate but not colour depth. | 17:19 |
| gatsu1000 | yep ball, same here | 17:19 |
| holstein | you can try the chrome browser from google (which is the only way to get the current flash in linux) | 17:19 |
| gatsu1000 | same issue | 17:19 |
| ball | gatsu1000: open a terminal window and try "xwininfo", click on the root (blank part of the desktop). | 17:20 |
| ball | Mine says Depth: 24 | 17:21 |
| gatsu1000 | xwininfo: Window id: 0x1600003 "Scrivania" Absolute upper-left X: 0 Absolute upper-left Y: 0 Relative upper-left X: 0 Relative upper-left Y: 0 Width: 1280 Height: 1024 Depth: 15 Visual: 0x20 Visual Class: TrueColor Border width: 0 Class: InputOutput Colormap: 0x22 (installed) Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity Backing Store State: NotUseful Save Under State | 17:21 |
| ball | gatsu1000: You're right, you're only running 15-bit colour | 17:21 |
| ball | Is this a laptop? | 17:21 |
| gatsu1000 | np, hp desktop | 17:22 |
| gatsu1000 | don't know how to change the depth anyway... | 17:22 |
| ball | gatsu1000: That's what I'm trying to figure out for you. | 17:23 |
| gatsu1000 | oh, thank you :) | 17:23 |
| ball | In the Display control panel, what monitor does it say you have? | 17:23 |
| gatsu1000 | someone seems to tell to edit xorg.conf or something like that | 17:24 |
| holstein | a custom xorg.conf can help.. sometimes i load up a knoppix live cd or puppy, and configure the graphics there and grab the xord.conf | 17:24 |
| gatsu1000 | samsung electric company 17" | 17:24 |
| gatsu1000 | but i don't know where and how to do it :P | 17:24 |
| * ball keeps looking | 17:26 | |
| gatsu1000 | where i can find xorg.conf? | 17:27 |
| gatsu1000 | mmm, it seems it doesn't exist | 17:27 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: right.. but you *can* put one inplace.. and force some things | 17:28 |
| gatsu1000 | same question: how? :P | 17:28 |
| holstein | but, its not trivial.. thats why i use a live CD to help me make one that i know will work | 17:28 |
| gatsu1000 | ah... | 17:29 |
| gatsu1000 | i tried un reconfigure... | 17:29 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: i literally load up a live CD such as puppy, since there is a nice wizard... and i make certain that i see the deskop look *exactly* as i want.. then i grab the xorg.conf, and put it in place on my ubuntu rig.. tweaking if necessary | 17:29 |
| ball | Oh hang on, there's a settings editor! | 17:29 |
| holstein | why? because i am not skilled enough to create one from scratch | 17:29 |
| gatsu1000 | great ball! | 17:30 |
| ball | Oh wait, how much video RAM have you given the computer? | 17:30 |
| gatsu1000 | erm... how can i see it? | 17:30 |
| ball | Probably in your CMOS setup program (often incorrectly called BIOS) | 17:30 |
| holstein | !bios | 17:31 |
| gatsu1000 | if i remember well, 128mb at least, maybe 256 | 17:31 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: confirm that.. that could be the issue | 17:31 |
| gatsu1000 | ah... what i need to put? | 17:31 |
| gatsu1000 | because i need a restart... the command !bios doesn't give any results | 17:32 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: the bios is specific to your hardware.. and will be reached specifically based on your hardware | 17:32 |
| gatsu1000 | so, the only way i know is to reboot the pc | 17:33 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: that is the way you confirm how much ram is set to be shared with your graphics device as ball has pointed out can be an issue | 17:33 |
| gatsu1000 | ok, give me a sec... checking and coming back | 17:34 |
| holstein | is that the problem? likely not, but you need to make a list and troubleshoot | 17:34 |

| ball | WB gatsu1000 | 17:41 |
| gatsu1000 | thanks... bios doesn't have video memory that could be set... | 17:41 |
| holstein | gatsu1000: what would i do? load up a live CD with nomodeset | 17:42 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 17:42 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:42 |
| === toga_ is now known as toga | ||
| ball | gatsu1000: Is the graphics built into your mainboard or on a separate expansion card? | 17:48 |
| gatsu1000 | built in | 17:48 |
| ball | Hmm... ok | 17:53 |
| livingdaylight | Hi | 18:46 |
| * ball waves | 18:47 | |
| livingdaylight | remmoved abiword and gnumeric. | 18:47 |
| livingdaylight | is there an easy command for libre office suite, rather than installing them all one by one | 18:47 |
| * ball checks | 18:47 | |
| bekks | livingdaylight: apt-get install libreoffice | 18:48 |
| livingdaylight | Also, for Skype, which version do I grab from skype.com ? I'm on 32-bit for which it suggests ubuntu 10.04 which seems old . the other one says 12.04 (multi-arch) but what does multi-arch mean? | 18:48 |
| ball | bekks: Well /that's/ predictable. :-) | 18:49 |
| koegs | livingdaylight: activate the partner source in the software center and install skype from there | 18:49 |

| jessica9898 | what software i can use for reminding me to do breaks ? | 18:53 |
| livingdaylight | activating partner source doesn't seem to give me sky[e | 18:56 |
| livingdaylight | *skype | 18:56 |
| knome | livingdaylight, did you update the repositories? | 18:56 |
| livingdaylight | no | 18:57 |
| knome | jessica9898, maybe set up cron to do notifications | 18:57 |
| knome | livingdaylight, what if you tried to do that first? | 18:57 |
| ball | I think I installed Skype using a package from the Skype Website. | 18:57 |
| livingdaylight | are we talking about software centre or synaptic? | 18:57 |
| knome | livingdaylight, i believe you can do it from both | 18:58 |
| livingdaylight | don't see it in software center | 18:59 |
| knome | livingdaylight, alternatively, 'sudo apt-get update' in a terminal | 19:00 |
| livingdaylight | have a jnlp file for which I've installed webstart from software center. However, when I right-click on jnlp file don't find the open with webstart | 19:18 |
| livingdaylight | i click open with other application but don't see it down the list | 19:19 |

| seronis | How do i get the Permissions tab in the Properties window to recognize the existance of the 'executable' bit ? | 19:35 |
| seronis | i can neither set nor verify the status of that bit using the GUI which is kinda unuseful | 19:35 |
| seronis | I already checked "http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/working-with-files-and-folders" first. It doesnt mention anything on the issue | 19:37 |
| th0r | seronis, what are you trying to mark as executable | 19:38 |
| seronis | jar files | 19:39 |
| th0r | seronis, I don't think jar files are executable. They are run using 'java something.jar' if I remember right | 19:39 |
| seronis | the JRE refuses to execute jars that dont have the executable flag set | 19:40 |
| seronis | i opened a terminal and just chmod'd the file.. but its something that SHOULD have been available in the gui | 19:42 |
| livingdaylight | Hi, can someone help me with java webstart? | 19:44 |
| livingdaylight | got icetea java webstart installed but can't launch my jnlp file | 19:45 |

| seronis | livingdaylight, i havent used it myself but thats what i have bookmarked for when i do need to | 19:46 |

| amerigena | Question : when right-clicking on the desktop, the first menu that pops-up, is called what exactly? In Xfce terms, is this the top-level menu? | 20:48 |
| amerigena | I'm interested in learning how to edit it, but all the researching I've done seems focused on the Applications menu. | 20:49 |
| brainwash | it's hard coded anyway, you can only edit the application menu | 20:51 |
| noirguy | brainwash : right now I'm working in Voyager, which is an Xubuntu knockoff. The "top-level" menu that I'm talking about is different from the Xubuntu default - and yes, I know, this channel only supports Xubuntu. | 21:20 |
| noirguy | But my point is, if I want to edit this menu in Xubuntu, since it seems to be possible, how do I do it? | 21:20 |
| === noirguy is now known as amerigena | ||
| === reverendp is now known as 16WAAWH67 | ||
| brainwash | noirguy, it's the right-click menu of xfdesktop and can't be changed by editing a config file | 21:29 |
| xubuntu646 | Hello everyone, I have a stability issue with xubuntu. It is freezing up a bunch times. | 21:31 |
| amerigena | brainwash : if that's the case, then how do these people who do remasters like Voyager edit the menu? | 21:31 |
| amerigena | Do they create an entirely new menu? | 21:32 |
| xubuntu646 | I don't know what to do with the OS frequently freezing on as I am new to Linux in general. | 21:34 |
| brainwash | amerigena, you can change the menu, but not without recompiling the code | 21:34 |
| amerigena | OK. | 21:35 |
| brainwash | amerigena, just checked some pictures of Voyager.. what the heck :) | 21:36 |
| amerigena | What the heck what? | 21:37 |
| brainwash | amerigena, can you upload a screenshot of the right-click menu? | 21:37 |
| brainwash | amerigena, the desktop looks.. different :) | 21:37 |
| amerigena | It's very different. | 21:37 |
| amerigena | I'm working on that screenshot right now. | 21:38 |
| jooves | hi guys. tell me please. what's name of volume regulator app in 12.04 | 21:38 |
| SunStar | xubuntu646, download badblocks & testdisk w/ photorec. check the drive for errors | 21:39 |
| jooves | or sound properties | 21:39 |
| brainwash | xubuntu646, you should check some of the log files located in /var/log | 21:39 |
| brainwash | jooves, you mean the volume indicator in the top panel? | 21:40 |
| bwat47 | jooves, if you mean the panel applet itself its ubuntu's sound-indicator, the app that opens upon clicking "sound settings" is called pavucontrol | 21:40 |
| SunStar | xubuntu646, smartctl | 21:40 |
| jooves | thanks | 21:40 |
| xubuntu646 | okay, I will try my best. Again complete noob at Linux. :-( | 21:42 |
| xubuntu646 | @SunStar where you find badblocks and smartctl? | 21:45 |
| SunStar | smartctl i got from repo (possibly kubuntu repo) | 21:46 |
| amerigena | brainwash : I don't spend much time on IRC. How do I upload the screenshot? | 21:46 |
| bwat47 | amerigena, imgur.com | 21:47 |
| brainwash | amerigena, use a web service like http://imageshack.us/ | 21:47 |
| amerigena | http://imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&id=4tHclZ2il6GynaTV1NrO4NzQ3sbW5sne3snj1tPi2prp0tw | 21:48 |
| amerigena | That should be it brainwash | 21:49 |
| amerigena | My desktop is different from the default Voyager setup, but it's not that far removed. | 21:49 |
| brainwash | amerigena, you shared the wrong link i guess | 21:50 |
| lderan | aye im just getting ads myself | 21:51 |
| lderan | http://imageshack.us/a/img22/1599/rightclickscreenshot.png is a more direct link | 21:52 |
| brainwash | aren't those custom actions defined in Thunar? the top and bottom part of the menu isn't any different | 21:54 |
| amerigena | http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/211/rightclickscreenshot.png/ | 21:54 |
| amerigena | try that link | 21:54 |
| brainwash | ye, the previous one already worked :) | 21:55 |
| brainwash | so you should be able to add more custom actions to the center of the menu | 21:55 |
| brainwash | Thunar does manage those custom actions | 21:56 |
| brainwash | edit > configure custom actions.. | 21:57 |
| brainwash | but maybe i'm wrong.. abandoned Thunar like years ago :D | 21:58 |
| amerigena | Perfect. That's exactly what I was looking for. | 21:59 |
| amerigena | Thank you very much. | 21:59 |
| brainwash | :) | 21:59 |
| jooves | I'm noob in linux so help me please. When I use "fn+up/down arrow" shortcut on my notebook to increase/decrease volume it moves volume of hdmi output instead of (currently active) internal output always. What should i do? xubuntu 12.04 | 22:03 |

| Kungpung | Its a print driver. I would like to be able to print. | 22:53 |
