[00:24] installing now [00:26] <[0gb_us]> Installing what? Xubuntu? [00:26] xubunt...trying to install flashplayer also [00:40] hello all again... so id like the lil bit of compiz wobbaly windows and such can anyone tell me how to get it working? [00:49] 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. [00:52] <[0gb_us]> I had that same issue. Here's how to fix it: [00:53] <[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. [00:54] <[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. [01:00] oh, I must have missed that [01:03] thanks [01:06] 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. [01:07] 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. [01:08] 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. [01:09] anyone else??? lol [01:18] 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 [01:19] <[0gb_us]> Does it work on other variants? Such as Ubuntu? [01:21] yeah i got it [01:21] n/m [01:44] 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? [02:02] [0gb_us]: where does Xubuntu allow you to set whether the computer itself goes to sleep? [02:02] mine seems to go to sleep after some amount of time, which is annoying when I'm trying to use it to back up [02:03] 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. [02:04] <[0gb_us]> Menu > Settings > Settings Manager > Power Manager [02:04] <[0gb_us]> Rakko, ^ [02:05] d'oh [02:05] thanks [02:06] <[0gb_us]> Yeah, no problem. [02:07] nice. terminal rickroll [02:07] <[0gb_us]> Hmm? What? [02:07] ntzrmtthih777's quit message === bsk_ is now known as bsk [05:19] folks good morning [05:20] i just installed xubuntu 12.04 [05:20] I can ping any internet address [05:20] no loss [05:20] but I can't install anything thru apt-get [05:20] neither browse the internet [05:21] <[0gb_us]> THat's really odd. [05:21] even when i run live [05:21] same thing happens [05:21] <[0gb_us]> I don't know how to help with that. [05:22] 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] kindaof [05:22] lol [05:23] maybe i'll try the latest release [05:23] thanks anyway [05:23] good luck [06:34] hello [06:35] <[0gb_us]> Hello! [06:35] i need to ask [06:35] just ask [06:35] how to integrate calendar with outlook and webmail as i use postfix as a mail server [06:36] outlook? isn't that a windows program? [06:38] <[0gb_us]> Yeah, my mother uses that. [06:39] 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] another convert :)) === LNCP is now known as Guest89059 [06:41] <[0gb_us]> I've managed to convert my three siblings as well. ☺ I still haven't had any luck with our mother though. ☹ [06:42] 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. [06:43] better late than never :D [06:44] brb [06:45] <[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. [06:50] nothing wrong with commercial software. it does, however, go against the grain of open source free software [06:51] <[0gb_us]> The problem though is that open source software can't reliably fill some needs. [06:52] <[0gb_us]> Anything that remains consistent can be handled by open source projects. [06:52] 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. [06:53] <[0gb_us]> I use commercial games and probably commercial drivers. The rest of my stuff is open source. [06:53] 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. [09:36] hi all - someone firm with harddisk -ide 2,5 fujitsu mht2040 - I lost 10MB from 40MB ?? [09:36] system freeze when i installed xubuntu 12.04 - when formating hd may be after 10% [09:37] partition magic from liveCD even freeze at 10% formatingi [09:37] reconfigured the disk with testdisk CHS 16383,16,63 LBA 78.140.160 [09:37] but getgpart = dev(/dev/sdb) mss(512) chs(30517/64/32)(LBA) #s(62498816) size(30517mb) Warning: strange partition table magic 0x0000 [09:37] Partition table holds up to 128 entries First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 62499966dmde [09:37] found FAT32 32MB 0 - 62499999 ( i think primary sectors ) and (i think logical) 63 - 62499999dmde found patition 3,16MB 102887-109005 and 6,29MB 102887-115174 sectors - this are the lost 10MB [09:37] i use the tools - DMDE, gpart, testdisk to find my mistake [09:37] i dont know a logical workflow to reconf this harddisk or find the failure because i tryed all normal ways [09:37] I know the disk is dead, but its only for my anderstanding [10:21] 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 ? [10:31] ... also xfce always restores my session :/ [10:34] you can select to not restore session in logout popup window, delete saved one with rm -rf ~/.cache/sessions [10:45] hey all [14:14] Hello all. I have issues about window customization. I needed change titlebar color. How i can make it? Sorry of my bad English. [14:15] Roxastry: i think you have to edit the theme, you cannot simply change the color in settings [14:15] http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/xfwm4_theme [14:19] I need change it programmatically. I create application on Gtkmm library. I can use other library if it need. [14:19] I'm use c++. [14:19] *I use C++ [14:23] Roxastry, you want to override gtk configs? [14:25] GridCube, No. This should only be used in the same application, in which I write. [14:25] so, you want your program to override global gtk? [14:26] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14887646/can-an-application-override-a-gtk-theme-for-one-property-of-one-widget [14:28] Roxastry: that is impossible with xfwm4 at the moment, as far as i know [14:29] 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] 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) [14:30] I can create my theme and use he only my application? [14:31] i don't know in detail how xfce4-notes does it, check the source-code ;) [14:31] Roxastry, read the link i pasted you [14:31] thanks all :) [14:31] np [14:31] i will try =) [14:32] Roxastry: just out of curiosity, what app are you writing? [14:33] i can't say =( it's commerce=( [14:34] how sad [14:54] <_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 [14:55] <_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 [14:58] Does anyone know if 32 bit povray runs on 64 bit architecture (runnig xubuntu 12.04 precise - 64 bit) [14:58] aiena, should be no problem running 32 bit stuff on 64 bit generally [14:59] _DomY-Dom: All the headers get put in /usr/src/linux-headers- [15:01] eg: /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-22-generic/ ...in this case [15:08] a chanel for cairo dock exists? [15:10] #cairo-dock [15:14] 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 [15:19] <_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). [17:56] Hi there, i'm a bit green, wel actually I'm a total green.... [17:58] anyway I just installed xubuntu 13.04 on my old laptop, everything works just fine but no internet. [18:02] 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] amarco@marco-Laptop:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:e2:7c:97:61 inet addr:192.168.0.102 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:e2ff:fe7c:9761/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:931 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1110 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisio [18:03] any idea what could be wrong? [18:03] what about sudo dhclient eth0 [18:03] and then ping www.google.com [18:06] marco@marco-Laptop:~$ sudo dhclient eth0 RTNETLINK answers: File exists marco@marco-Laptop:~$ ping -c3 www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com [18:07] how about if you ping 8.8.8.8 [18:14] marco@marco-Laptop:~$ ping -c5 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 4031ms [18:14] marco@marco-Laptop:~$ ping 8.8.8.8 PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics --- 105 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 103999ms [18:15] can you ping the gateway ip? [18:16] mmmmmhhhhh ..... gateway ip = ?????? [18:16] sorry !!!! === damjanko is now known as hmsck [18:20] ok, ok, I'm getting there.... [18:21] xubuntu144: how do you connect to the internet? [18:22] marco@marco-Laptop:~$ ping 192.168.1.1 PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data. ^C --- 192.168.1.1 ping statistics --- 53 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 52334ms [18:22] so you have the ip 192.168.0.102 and your default gateway is 192.168.1.1, this is definitely not working [18:23] cable - is working fine, I'm using the same connection now on another computer router [18:23] please put the output of "ifconfig -a" and "ip r s" in a nopaste [18:23] !paste [18:23] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. === NePtUnO is now known as NePtUnO|Off [18:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711032/ [18:27] thanks 4 the tip. I'm already learning a lot! [18:27] so your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, please try to ping it [18:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5711055/ [18:36] so, dhcp works, you can ping your router, but not 8.8.8.8 (which is the google dns server)? [18:37] that seems indeed the case. and I dont have a clue what to do about it [18:48] thanks anyway.... I'll figure something out..... tomorrow : ) === NePtUnO|Off is now known as NePtUnO [20:04] Hi all! Are there any special steps to be taken to install Xubuntu on a MBP 2013 model? [20:04] er, late 2012 model I guess [20:09] if you boot from CD, no [20:10] your machine will boot to xubuntu by default, you need to hold alt to get to osx [20:11] Sysi: thanks for that. Any other issues? I want to install the OS via USB [20:14] Does anyone know how to remove dead entries from the XFCE menu that don't show up in the editor? [20:15] jtreminio: you need to create stick with some additional steps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick [20:15] b3rz3rk3r: look into ~/.local/share/applications [20:15] Sysi, will do, thanks! [20:18] Sysi, worked perfectly, cheers! :D [20:18] you're welcome [20:19] jtreminio: in my experience on early '11 MBP, battery life was worse than on virtual machine [20:27] i have encrypted my home foldder in xubuntu [20:28] and i took some picts to a usb stick and i cant red them to window spc [20:28] what can i do?
