[00:16] <LamontX12-04> First timer here coming from Windows xp.  Currently installing Xubuntu 12.04 on non-pae cpu. Any tips?
[01:46] <maxm11> Did anyone notice on the install screen, the page titled The Xubuntu Desktop, Number 2 the last sentence says "to save screen estate", is my OCD or is it supposed to be real esate
[02:09] <seronis> yes and no
[02:09] <seronis> the 'real' is meant to imply tangible, like property or land.  so more accurate to leave it out
[07:47] <dooglus> hi
[07:47] <dooglus> I run xubuntu, and use gnome-sound-applet for a volume control
[07:48] <dooglus> when I right-click it and pick 'properties' I used to get sound settings, but now I get the gnome control panel with most of the icons missing
[07:48] <dooglus> I think it's because XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to XFCE, and most of the settings have something like 'only show in GNOME' in their .desktop files
[07:49] <well_laid_lawn> does xfce's sound applet not work for you?
[07:49] <dooglus> so how can I get the right-click on the panel applet to work?
[07:49] <dooglus> not well, i don't think.  didn't try it for a few years though
[07:50] <dooglus> i'll ry it now
[07:50] <dooglus> is it called 'audio mixer' in the 'add new items' dialog?
[07:52] <dooglus> it doesn't have per-application volume controls like the gnome one does
[07:52] <dooglus> running:
[07:52] <dooglus> XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
[07:53] <dooglus> from the command line gets me what I want - but I can't figure out how to have that environment variable in my session
[07:53] <dooglus> I tried setting it in .xprofile, but something overwrites it after
[07:53] <well_laid_lawn> xfce will afaik
[07:58] <dooglus> what's annoying is I fixed this issue on my old computer, but forgot how
[08:00] <well_laid_lawn> might be time to start a blog and record these things
[08:00] <well_laid_lawn> ;)
[08:03] <well_laid_lawn> dooglus:  does this help - http://askubuntu.com/questions/146245/xfce-volume-adjusting-sound-applet-for-12-04
[08:16] <photon> hi. which gcc version is in xubuntu 12.04? I haven't installed it yet, so if someone could please check or tell me how to find out?
[08:24] <well_laid_lawn> !info gcc 12.04
[08:25] <Aiena1> Hi I am having a prbolem my phone is connecting to xubuntu like it were a bluetooth headset instead of a pc
[08:25] <Aiena1> I cant send files from the pc
[08:25] <well_laid_lawn> !info gcc precise
[08:26] <well_laid_lawn> photon:  ^^
[08:26] <photon> thank you well_laid_lawn
[08:27] <photon> !info gcc raring
[08:27] <photon> no 4.8 versions yet :(
[08:27] <Aiena> i think you can get it via a ppa
[08:27] <Aiena> not sure
[08:27] <photon> will try that, thanks
[08:29] <Aiena> if anything goes wrong
[08:29] <Aiena> there is always ppa-purge
[08:29] <Aiena> the saviour of the day :P
[08:30] <Aiena> its better to do that than just remove a ppa which is quiet useless
[08:31] <Aiena> photon: do you really need 4.8 though
[08:32] <photon> I need the latest support for the C++11 standard, and 4.8 includes support for thread local variables, I think no earlier gcc versions have that.
[08:32] <Aiena> photon but maybe 4.8 is available as an update in stock raring too
[08:33] <Aiena> I havent booted into raring yet. Still using the stable old 12.04
[08:33] <Aiena> photon are you using raring - see if its available as an update
[08:34] <photon> not using raring, but will install it later. :) thank you.
[08:34] <Aiena> photon: it is available for raring as an update
[08:34] <Aiena> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.devel.changes.raring/8205
[08:34] <Aiena> you should update to that distro if you want the latest maybe on a seperate partition
[08:35] <photon> yeah or in a VM.
[08:35] <Aiena> either way
[08:35] <Aiena> youll be able to build with the latest gcc then
[08:35] <Aiena> I think
[08:35] <Aiena> never tried building in a vm
[08:38] <Aiena> anyways give it a shot
[08:38] <Aiena> tell me what happens. I am interested.
[08:38] <Aiena> photon:
[08:39] <photon> Aiena: will do, thanks :)
[08:39] <Aiena> :)
[08:40] <Aiena> otherwise use fedora but thats a whole other story - dont want to go there
[08:57] <Aiena> photon do you know how to make an application always run as root and ask for a password
[08:57] <Aiena> similar to run as administrator in windows
[08:58] <photon> Aiena: you mean `sudo`?
[08:58] <Aiena> yes but automatically
[08:59] <Aiena> like when you open synaptics
[08:59] <Aiena> it automatically request super user prviledges
[08:59] <Aiena> i know you xna run sudo program from terminal
[09:00] <Aiena> but i was asking if an apllication can be made to automatically request su priviledges on startup form the menu foe example
[09:00] <Aiena> *can
[09:00] <Aiena> *sudo "program"
[09:00] <Aiena> *application
[09:00] <photon> I don't know how to do that. maybe you could write a script?
[09:01] <koegs> Aiena: use a script or change the entry in the menu to use "gksudo <program>"
[09:02] <Aiena> koegs how do you do that ?
[09:02] <Aiena> I was looking for that only
[09:02] <Aiena> How do you edit the menu
[09:03] <Aiena> can you give me a good resource koegs on that
[09:04] <koegs> Aiena: right click on the button, properties, edit menu?
[09:04] <koegs> "menu button"
[09:04] <Aiena> right clicking executes the app
[09:05] <Aiena> ah found it
[09:05] <koegs> right click on the menu-button, not the "app-button"
[09:05] <Aiena> thanks
[09:05]  * Aiena nods
[09:05] <koegs> out of curiosity, which programm do you want to use as root?
[09:06] <Aiena> calibre
[09:06] <Aiena> it seems to not convert ebooks otherwise
[09:07] <Aiena> the epub converter fails
[09:07] <Aiena> it apparently needs to write a .config file
[09:07] <Aiena> for conversion
[09:07] <Aiena> root is not something i generally want to fool with anyways
[09:10] <Aiena> most apps dont need root priviledges callibre is an oddball :P
[09:11] <well_laid_lawn> I'd think it would be easier to run it with gksu from a terminal
[09:13] <Aiena> koegs: is sudo for a graphical application different from gksudo for a graphival application in  terminal ?
[09:13] <Aiena> *graphical
[09:13] <well_laid_lawn> !gksu
[09:41] <Aiena> bye thanks all

[15:06] <wOOnder> hi there
[15:08] <wOOnder> could someone help me setting a "network" between xubuntu and win xp, I have found how to share my printer with gadmin-samba but not how to share a folder between the 2 OS
[15:08] <wOOnder> in reality I found how to share with "shares-admin" but duno how to set rights on shared folder
[15:13] <wOOnder> I use xubuntu 13.04 in french
[15:21] <dooglus> well_laid_lawn: I usually write in IRC when I solve a problem, so I can grep the logs later, but didn't for that one
[15:28] <dooglus> well_laid_lawn: I found my old solution, and posted it as an answer to the question you dug up: http://askubuntu.com/a/306494/45642
[18:31] <m4jid> Hi
[18:55] <m4jid> hi i just installed xubuntu 12.04
[18:55] <m4jid> i have GeForce GT 430 with two monitor one 22 and another 19 inch
[18:55] <m4jid> i dont have high resolution on my 22" monitr
[18:57] <TheSheep> m4jid: are you using the proprietary drivers or the build-in?
[18:57] <m4jid> i installed recommended driver
[18:57] <m4jid> from additional driver menu
[18:58] <TheSheep> so the proprietary drivers
[18:58] <m4jid> yes
[18:58] <TheSheep> use the nvidia-settings program then, I guess
[18:58] <TheSheep> the one that comes with the drivers
[18:59] <m4jid> TheSheep, same i cannot change resolution
[18:59] <m4jid> i meant i can but not 1680x1050
[19:01] <TheSheep> I have no idea how to troubleshoot the nvidia's closed-source product, you could try searching the forums and/or google if someone had a similar problem and perhaps contact nvidia's support
[19:01] <TheSheep> you can also ask at #ubuntu, as this part is pretty much the same
[19:01] <TheSheep> oh, and check this link
[19:01] <TheSheep> !nvidia | m4jid
[19:02] <TheSheep> sorry that I can't help more
[19:02] <m4jid> i download the driver from nvidia website how cna i install it
[19:02] <m4jid> everytime im trying to instll it tell me to exit x mode
[19:03] <TheSheep> it's the same driver, so it won't help
[19:36] <Mortvert> Are there any programs/widgets that can display my cpu/memory/swap load along with amount of HD space filled and network usage?
[19:38] <Unit193> Like atop?  There's also a panel one for CPU/Swap/RAM.
[19:38] <Sysi> you can add panel applets that show those or use conky
[19:39] <Sysi> you can install panel plugin for network and disk usage too
[19:39] <Mortvert> well, conky is PITA to configure, i tried few configs, none work properly
[19:39] <Mortvert> And i have very limited amount of panel space
[19:40] <Sysi> add extra panel, you can make it autohiding
[19:40] <Sysi> gnome-system-monitor displays all of that info I think
[19:47] <Mortvert> grrr
[19:48] <Mortvert> sensors-detect says 'yes' on some sensors scanning yet it tells me that it doesn't find any sensors

[21:25] <xubuntu636> Hey- anybody home?
[21:25] <ochosi> !hi | xubuntu636
[21:25] <xubuntu636> Fantastic
[21:26] <xubuntu636> I do have a really silly question
[21:26] <xubuntu636> I burned xubuntu as an iso
[21:26] <xubuntu636> And I'm trying to boot from it- but even with the boot order as disc first
[21:26] <xubuntu636> My machine is still kicking to it's windows installation
[21:27] <ochosi> and i assume that the disc-burning went without (obvious) complications?
[21:28] <Unit193> How new is the computer?  There should be a single time boot menu you can try to force it, have you tried that as well?  Have you checked to see if you can boot the disk on another computer?
[21:28] <xubuntu636> Right the burning process went really smoothly
[21:28] <xubuntu636> The computer is maybe 8 years old?
[21:29] <xubuntu636> It's a pentium d gateway, so it's not exactly "new"...
[21:30] <xubuntu636> I have tried the boot menu
[21:30] <xubuntu636> It's still rolling over to the windows xp
[21:32] <goddard> nevermind i fiugred out you can use ctrl+shift+t
[21:32] <goddard> and you can do that up to 10 times
[21:38] <xubuntu636> I'll try another machine with the disc I suppose
[21:38] <xubuntu636> Thanks all!
[22:07] <mike-linux> ok, i need some serious help, as i cannot boot into Xubuntu anymore. it stops during startup and does not do anything anymore.. for some reason it cannot proceed.
[22:07] <mike-linux> when pressing ctrl-alt-del it says exiting: acpid and then it reboots
[22:07] <mike-linux> what to do now?
[22:08] <mike-linux> right now i am in windows, so hardware seems ok
[22:08] <mike-linux> but i did not do updates what so ever. it just happened
