| Atheistics | xubunt...trying to install flashplayer also | 00:26 |
| sketch_ | hello all again... so id like the lil bit of compiz wobbaly windows and such can anyone tell me how to get it working? | 00:40 |
| Rakko | How can I make Xubuntu put my monitor in powersave mode when idle? I seem to be using Xscreensaver (standard with xubuntu?), which is set to blank the monitor only; it does blank it, but it's not in powersave mode. | 00:49 |
| [0gb_us] | I had that same issue. Here's how to fix it: | 00:52 |
| [0gb_us] | In the xscreensaver config window, choose turn on power managing and enable the setting that says to shut off the monitor imediently when in blank-only mode. | 00:53 |
| [0gb_us] | It has the unfortunate side effect of forcing power management to be enabled when you choose a non-black screensaver, but if you stick with just black, it will work. | 00:54 |
| Rakko | oh, I must have missed that | 01:00 |
| Rakko | thanks | 01:03 |
| Rakko | Out of curiosity, why isn't X just configured to do that? | 01:06 |
| [0gb_us] | It should be. And in GNOME screensaver, it is. | 01:06 |
| Rakko | Well I mean those are dependent on certain screensavers. I would think it would be dependent on something at a lower level. | 01:07 |
| [0gb_us] | I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how to dim the screen in Xubuntu. It works fine in Ubuntu. | 01:07 |
| sketch_ | ok so i followed this guide http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-set-up-compiz-in-xubuntu-1210-or.html and i still have nothing any ideas? | 01:08 |
| [0gb_us] | Sorry, I don't know anything about Compiz. | 01:08 |
| sketch_ | anyone else??? lol | 01:09 |
| sketch_ | compiz on xubuntu is not working and i cant figure out why i looked around and its the same process and i.ve tried 4 times | 01:18 |
| [0gb_us] | Does it work on other variants? Such as Ubuntu? | 01:19 |
| sketch_ | yeah i got it | 01:21 |
| sketch_ | n/m | 01:21 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hallo. odd issue here. while creating a symlink for ruby (it has stupidly placed .h files, lol) the resultant link is always broken, am I doing something wrong here? | 01:44 |
| Rakko | [0gb_us]: where does Xubuntu allow you to set whether the computer itself goes to sleep? | 02:02 |
| Rakko | mine seems to go to sleep after some amount of time, which is annoying when I'm trying to use it to back up | 02:02 |
| Rakko | I don't remember 10.x doing that | 02:03 |
| [0gb_us] | I think there's a way to set that in power management, but mine is set not to do that. | 02:03 |
| [0gb_us] | Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Power Manager | 02:04 |
| [0gb_us] | Rakko, ^ | 02:04 |
| Rakko | d'oh | 02:05 |
| Rakko | thanks | 02:05 |
| [0gb_us] | Yeah, no problem. | 02:06 |
| Rakko | nice. terminal rickroll | 02:07 |
| [0gb_us] | Hmm? What? | 02:07 |

| xubuntu135 | folks good morning | 05:19 |
| xubuntu135 | i just installed xubuntu 12.04 | 05:20 |
| xubuntu135 | I can ping any internet address | 05:20 |
| xubuntu135 | no loss | 05:20 |
| xubuntu135 | but I can't install anything thru apt-get | 05:20 |
| xubuntu135 | neither browse the internet | 05:20 |
| [0gb_us] | THat's really odd. | 05:21 |
| xubuntu135 | even when i run live | 05:21 |
| xubuntu135 | same thing happens | 05:21 |
| [0gb_us] | I don't know how to help with that. | 05:21 |
| xubuntu135 | ok thanks | 05:22 |
| [0gb_us] | I have an odd issue where I can't ping an address that I can connect to. It's sort of the opposite problem. | 05:22 |
| xubuntu135 | kindaof | 05:22 |
| xubuntu135 | lol | 05:22 |
| xubuntu135 | maybe i'll try the latest release | 05:23 |
| xubuntu135 | thanks anyway | 05:23 |
| xubuntu135 | good luck | 05:23 |
| xubuntu164 | hello | 06:34 |
| [0gb_us] | Hello! | 06:35 |
| xubuntu164 | i need to ask | 06:35 |
| ObrienDave | just ask | 06:35 |
| xubuntu164 | how to integrate calendar with outlook and webmail as i use postfix as a mail server | 06:35 |
| ObrienDave | outlook? isn't that a windows program? | 06:36 |
| [0gb_us] | Yeah, my mother uses that. | 06:38 |
| ObrienDave | i used to, before i found Linux ;) | 06:39 |
| [0gb_us] | I was a Mac user before I found Linux. | 06:39 |
| [0gb_us] | No Outlook there either. | 06:39 |
| ObrienDave | another convert :)) | 06:39 |
| === LNCP is now known as Guest89059 | ||
| [0gb_us] | I've managed to convert my three siblings as well. ☺ I still haven't had any luck with our mother though. ☹ | 06:41 |
| ObrienDave | i wouldn't even try to convert mine, my wife is bad enough LMAO | 06:42 |
| [0gb_us] | I only try to convert Windows people. My Mac-using brother was an accident. | 06:42 |
| ObrienDave | better late than never :D | 06:43 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 06:44 |
| [0gb_us] | Hmm. I still need to talk to some people from #gnu. Apparently, using commercial software is somehow morally wrong or something. Personally, I like a mix of open source and commercial software myself, so I want to understand what is so bad about that. | 06:45 |
| ObrienDave | nothing wrong with commercial software. it does, however, go against the grain of open source free software | 06:50 |
| [0gb_us] | The problem though is that open source software can't reliably fill some needs. | 06:51 |
| [0gb_us] | Anything that remains consistent can be handled by open source projects. | 06:52 |
| ObrienDave | true. but i can do 98% of what i need with open source | 06:52 |
| [0gb_us] | However, some things require constant and steady development. | 06:52 |
| [0gb_us] | I use commercial games and probably commercial drivers. The rest of my stuff is open source. | 06:53 |
| koegs | guys, that is an interesting topic, but could you please move over to #xubuntu-offtopic? | 06:53 |
| [0gb_us] | Hmm? Oh, sorry. I'll be quiet now. | 06:53 |

| testpil0t | Hello! I am using xubuntu 12.04. Since a few days, the volume indicator always pops up, once in a while. Without doing any change on the volume level. I did not find any bug description about this (or anything)... Did anyone experience similar problems ? | 10:21 |
| testpil0t | ... also xfce always restores my session :/ | 10:31 |
| Sysi | you can select to not restore session in logout popup window, delete saved one with rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions | 10:34 |

| Roxastry | Hello all. I have issues about window customization. I needed change titlebar color. How i can make it? Sorry of my bad English. | 14:14 |
| koegs | Roxastry: i think you have to edit the theme, you cannot simply change the color in settings | 14:15 |
| koegs | http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/xfwm4_theme | 14:15 |
| Roxastry | I need change it programmatically. I create application on Gtkmm library. I can use other library if it need. | 14:19 |
| Roxastry | I'm use c++. | 14:19 |
| Roxastry | *I use C++ | 14:19 |
| GridCube | Roxastry, you want to override gtk configs? | 14:23 |
| Roxastry | GridCube, No. This should only be used in the same application, in which I write. | 14:25 |
| GridCube | so, you want your program to override global gtk? | 14:25 |
| GridCube | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14887646/can-an-application-override-a-gtk-theme-for-one-property-of-one-widget | 14:26 |
| ochosi | Roxastry: that is impossible with xfwm4 at the moment, as far as i know | 14:28 |
| ochosi | Roxastry: when it is ported to gtk3 (at some point in the distant future) and support for dark themes gets added, you can tell the app to ask for a dark theme | 14:29 |
| ochosi | Roxastry: the only alternative is to make your app undecorated and add window-decorations yourself (check xfce4-notes as reference, it's written in vala though afaik) | 14:29 |
| Roxastry | I can create my theme and use he only my application? | 14:30 |
| ochosi | i don't know in detail how xfce4-notes does it, check the source-code ;) | 14:31 |
| GridCube | Roxastry, read the link i pasted you | 14:31 |
| Roxastry | thanks all :) | 14:31 |
| ochosi | np | 14:31 |
| Roxastry | i will try =) | 14:31 |
| ochosi | Roxastry: just out of curiosity, what app are you writing? | 14:32 |
| Roxastry | i can't say =( it's commerce=( | 14:33 |

| _DomY-Dom | In 13.04 what is the valid path to the 16:40 < genec> well, it ONLY needs to be bastardized via CLI when you are doing an unsupported action | 14:54 |
| _DomY-Dom | damn | 14:54 |
| _DomY-Dom | sorry wrong copy paste | 14:54 |
| _DomY-Dom | In 13.04, what is the valid path to the 3.8.0-22-generci kernel headers? | 14:55 |
| * _DomY-Dom that's better | 14:55 | |
| aiena | Does anyone know if 32 bit povray runs on 64 bit architecture (runnig xubuntu 12.04 precise - 64 bit) | 14:58 |
| knome | aiena, should be no problem running 32 bit stuff on 64 bit generally | 14:58 |
| genii-around | _DomY-Dom: All the headers get put in /usr/src/linux-headers-<KERNEL-VERSION-HERE> | 14:59 |
| genii-around | eg: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-22-generic/ ...in this case | 15:01 |
| xubuntu542 | a chanel for cairo dock exists? | 15:08 |
| GridCube | #cairo-dock | 15:10 |
| aiena | knome: I had to install it with no architecture support for it to work now povray renders with a translucent background but it renders either way and does its job and nothing seems broken so I'm happy | 15:14 |
| _DomY-Dom | genii-around: "The path "/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-22-generic/" is not a valid path to the 3.8.0-22-generic kernel headers" is the output I get from the VMware tools installation, I have Xubuntu 13.04 in a VM (VMWare Fusion). | 15:19 |
| xubuntu144 | Hi there, i'm a bit green, wel actually I'm a total green.... | 17:56 |
| xubuntu144 | anyway I just installed xubuntu 13.04 on my old laptop, everything works just fine but no internet. | 17:58 |
| xubuntu144 | when I plug the cable i got a nice windows telling me that I'm connected, but nothing else happens. No firefox, no nothing. If I open terminal and use "ifconfig" i get as follow: | 18:02 |

| koegs | so you have the ip 192.168.0.102 and your default gateway is 192.168.1.1, this is definitely not working | 18:22 |
| xubuntu144 | cable - is working fine, I'm using the same connection now on another computer router | 18:23 |
| koegs | please put the output of "ifconfig -a" and "ip r s" in a nopaste | 18:23 |
| koegs | !paste | 18:23 |

| xubuntu144 | thanks 4 the tip. I'm already learning a lot! | 18:27 |
| koegs | so your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, please try to ping it | 18:27 |
| xubuntu144 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711055/ | 18:32 |
| koegs | so, dhcp works, you can ping your router, but not 8.8.8.8 (which is the google dns server)? | 18:36 |
| xubuntu144 | that seems indeed the case. and I dont have a clue what to do about it | 18:37 |
| xubuntu144 | thanks anyway.... I'll figure something out..... tomorrow : ) | 18:48 |
