[00:00] <ball> pfred1: JoeBlacken Sometimes you can just specify that on the command line (or menu option) that launches a program.
[00:00] <ball> ...using "-geometry"
[00:01] <ball> oops
[00:01]  * ball wanders off in search of some daps.
[00:07] <JoeBlacken> heoyea, yes I tried and it worked, however, there is only one issue, is that everytime I add a configuration for an application, I have to stop and start the service, but it does work, thank you all
[00:07] <JoeBlacken> ball, thank you, I sure will need that soon
[00:09] <ball> JoeBlacken: You can have shell scripts for certain tasks or workflows, that spawn your selection of apps right where you want them.
[00:09] <ball> ...so that's nice.
[00:38] <xubuntu450> ?
[01:03] <genii> Hm.

[01:34] <Dreki> Has anyone gotten pidgin-gfire from the gfire repo to work with xubuntu? I get a missing dependancy (libnotify)
[03:21] <toothpick> hello friends. i need some help with samba share on xubuntu
[03:21] <toothpick> is anyone available at the moment?
[03:23] <clear`> just ask
[03:31] <toothpick> clear, ok here goes
[03:31] <toothpick> i installed samba using apt
[03:31] <toothpick> and also install samba-config (allows me to add shares and users in one window which i really like)
[03:31] <|kira> Sooo.... is xfce going to gtk3?
[03:31] <toothpick> i can see my xubuntu server now in windows machines
[03:32] <toothpick> but, i dont think i configured the users correctly since i cannot access it
[03:32] <toothpick> from windows machines
[03:33] <|kira> I wish windows worked with sshfs... windows file sharing is soo convoluted.
[03:33] <clear`> ports setup?
[03:33] <clear`> file share, i always setup ftp's
[03:34] <toothpick> no this is a local server
[03:35] <toothpick> internet dhcp, and no router involved
[03:35] <clear`> what error do you get when you try to access it
[03:36] <toothpick> i get a prompt in windows to enter user name and password
[03:36] <toothpick> when i enter that, it just says login credentials incorrect. i am putting the right user name and password
[03:37] <toothpick> there is only 1 user right now on xubuntu
[05:35] <magic_ninja> Ìû
[06:12] <toothpick> yep
[06:18] <Aiena> How do I tell the printer to continue a print job in xubuntu when it runs out of paper ?
[08:07] <dougbb> I'm using the latest xubuntu and pidgin seems to have lost the ability to connect to servers on an IPv6 address
[08:07] <dougbb> any ideas what could be causing that?  Other services work fine on IPv6

[10:55] <xubuntu313> Hello, i am attempting to install xubuntu 13.04 on an old compaq 6720s, it's only giving me errors back and i don't know what step to take next, anyone help?
[11:06] <xubuntu313> nobody reply?
[11:09] <baizon> xubuntu313: what errors?
[11:13] <xubuntu313> dev/sda errors, chroot errors
[11:13] <xubuntu313> right now i'm trying to install an earlier ubuntu version though and it seems to be working so far
[11:15] <TheDexter1111> whats with 13.10? is it ready?
[11:16] <xubuntu313> i tried it earlier and didn't have any luck
[11:17] <TheDexter1111> xubuntu313: fair enough
[11:18] <xubuntu313> TheDexter1111 No wait, i tried 13.04, sorry my misstake
[11:20] <elfy> TheDexter1111: works 'ok' there are some bugs - I've a shutdown issue, but it's not even reached alpha1 yet ;)
[11:22] <TheDexter1111> yeah, its a bit early to update
[11:23] <TheDexter1111> whats the major differences between them?
[11:23] <xubuntu313> this is very weird to me, my compaq 6720s accepts an older ubuntu version but not 13.04 xubuntu
[11:24] <Sysi> just run 12.04 LTS if it works
[11:24] <xubuntu313> could you link me to the download?
[11:27] <Sysi> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/12.04.2/release/
[11:29] <xubuntu313> Sysi thank you, which would you recommend for me to use? the normal PC (Intel x86) desktop CD or PC (Intel x86) alternate install CD
[11:30] <Sysi> desktop has graphical installer, alternate gives some custom options (that you're unlikely to use)
[11:30] <xubuntu313> Alright, thanks for the help
[13:13] <yurlmaz> bonjour
[14:38] <xubuntu596> Hi! this posible install xubuntu in tex mode? friend from forum can t use live from 13.4 , he have black screen with amd radeon hd7670m
[14:39] <Sysi> he should try nomodeset and xforcevesa boot options
[14:40] <xubuntu596> ok :)
[14:45] <xubuntu596> yyy Sysi nomodest is option in bootloader when I run from live-cd ?
[14:46] <elfy> xubuntu596: press any key when you see the man and keyboard at boot - F6 - you'll see some choices
[14:50] <xubuntu596> ok :)
[15:22] <xubuntu518> hi i install dconf-editor and i can see nothing in the table when i open to change something there ,what is that ?
[15:26] <brainwash> xubuntu518: you have to expand the entries in the left panel first, click on the ▶
[15:29] <xubuntu518> nothing happend in the right panel
[15:29] <xubuntu518> i expanded all
[16:33] <Aiena> is there a way to tell the printer to resume printing when it runs  out of paper in xubuntu 12.04?
[16:39] <ARM9> no way
[16:40] <ARM9> xubuntu 12.04 is just a few MB too big to fit on a CD rom
[16:41] <Unit193> 12.04?  That one should be CD sized.
[16:41] <Unit193> Aiena: Can't you just press the flashing button/power button/etc?
[16:42] <ARM9> that's what I thought
[16:42] <ARM9> apparently infrarecorder does not concur
[16:43] <Unit193> What size CD?  Did you check the md5sum to confirm it's good?
[16:44] <ARM9> ye olde regular run of the mill 700MB CD rom technology
[16:44] <ARM9> checksum is also good
[16:45] <ARM9> 12.04 is 707MB or such
[16:45] <Unit193> Hah, 64bit, right?
[16:45] <Unit193> Yep...
[16:45] <ARM9> yeah, let me guess, 32 bit version fits?
[16:45] <Unit193> Yep, but if you're good with the debian installer: xubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-amd64.iso         14-Feb-2013 00:25  651M
[16:46] <ARM9> oh lookielookie
[16:46] <Macuser> Hi. If the dhcp is reset on my Mac by going to sleep. Will that cause me not to be able to ssh to my Linux box?
[16:46] <Macuser> originally I ssh'ed from my Macbook Pro to my Linux desktop. Then I took the wificard out of my linux box and also closed my Mac laptop. Then the next morning, I opened my Mac laptop and also plugged the wificard back into the linux box and then I tried the same command and it didn't work
[16:46] <Macuser> Finally, it worked after I turned my wifi off and on again on my Mac. I'm not sure if that's why it started working again
[16:47] <Sysi> Macuser: you need to have network access on both computers and use a right IP address, you could maybe set your linux machine to use static IP
[16:48] <Macuser> but what about the hostname?
[16:49] <Sysi> I don't know about avahi's bonjour compability, IP is guaranteed to work, usually DHCP server gices same device same IP on reconnect
[16:49] <Macuser> the hostanme is always the same
[16:49] <Macuser> Like I sshed yesterday then it didn't work this morning then all of a sudden it worked again
[16:50] <ARM9> magic
[16:50] <Macuser> what's what someone else said. black voodoo magic
[16:52] <Macuser> any ideas?
[16:53] <ARM9> what sysi said
[16:54] <ARM9> never owned a mac so can't really chime in with anything here other than general networking
[16:55] <Macuser> I mean I don't understand why it would stop working. My only guess is because i took out the wificard then plugged it back in. But why would it stop working if the hostname is the same? And why would it start working again? Maybe it was because I turned the wifi off on my mac and then back on
[16:56] <koegs> as long as the wifi card on the linux box is working ok, there is no reason for ssh not to work
[16:57] <Macuser> yeah. I have no idea why it wasn't. It's kind of annoying
[16:58] <koegs> the ssh-daemon never stops, so it will immediately accept the connection as soon as the wifi is connected, i think the problem has to be found on the macbook
[16:59] <Macuser> I even reset the ssh with no luck
[17:05] <Sysi> whatever provides the hostname is the issue, ssh does no such thing
[17:05] <Aiena> Unit193 no my printer goes off if I press the power button and there is no other button. are you sure there is no way to tell cups to resume printing?
[17:06] <Unit193> Aiena: You check in http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs/ ?
[17:07] <koegs> from experience and not a general thing: sometimes a dsl-router-box uses the hostname from the dhcp-client and then provides the IP via local dns, that may take some time
[17:10] <Aiena> Unit193 I have made a note of it will try it out next time I print.
[17:11] <Aiena> it is useful even for USB printers?
[17:11] <Unit193> Ours has one button, you press and hold/press it, not sure which. :P
[17:11] <Aiena> ok I haven't tried long presses thanks for the tip
[17:12] <Aiena> on windows the hp driver handles it with a desktop pop up
[17:13] <Aiena> driver and software
[17:13] <Unit193> I don't print often, so can't help much.
[17:13] <Aiena> ok
[17:15] <Sysi> isn't there applet in the notification area that lets you manage print jobs?
[17:15] <Aiena> but it does not detect that the printer has run out of paper
[17:16] <Aiena> or something like that
[17:16] <Aiena> it still shows processing but the printer indicator blinks red like expected.
[18:06] <dunpeal> Hi. How do I add a nameserver in Xubuntu 13.04?
[18:07] <dunpeal> In (Gnome) Ubuntu, I understand it's done through Network Manager, but I can't find the interface for Xubuntu.
[18:08] <brainwash> dunpeal: but xubuntu does also ship with the (gnome) network manager
[18:09] <Unit193> The little panel icon, or open it directly with  nm-connection-editor
[18:09] <dunpeal> OK, thanks, but it doesn't seem to work unfortunately
[18:10] <Unit193> what's  nm-tool   show for DNS?
[18:10] <dunpeal>     DNS:             192.168.11.201
[18:10] <dunpeal>     DNS:             10.217.20.202
[18:11] <dunpeal>     DNS:             10.217.20.201    DNS:             10.217.20.201
[18:12] <dunpeal> 10.217.20.202 is the one I want
[18:13] <dunpeal> Unit193: no idea what 192.168.11.201 is
[19:20] <max_> hi peeps!!
[19:20] <max_> Im a newbie to Linux! How's everyone?!
[19:20] <pleia2> !hi
[19:20] <pleia2> :)
[19:21] <max_> pleia2, Hi
[19:21] <pleia2> max_: this is a support channel so please feel free to just go ahead and ask questions (regular chat is over in #xubuntu-offtopic)
[19:21] <max_> I've just installed Xubuntu xfce onto an old crappy laptop! hehe
[19:22] <max_> pleia2, actually Ive got a question: How do you change drive in Terminal. dont seem to be working for me :-(
[19:23] <pleia2> max_: I'm actually at work so I can't help much now, you should ask the whole channel :) but it will help to know what you mean by "change drive"
[19:23]  * pleia2 back2work
[19:23] <max_> lol
[19:24] <max_> Actually Ive got a question people please : How do you change drive in Terminal. dont seem to be working for me :-(
[19:24] <Sysi> what do you mean "change drive"?
[19:26] <max_> not only change directory cd but completely change drive
[19:27] <genii> max_: Linux doesn't use the idea of C: D: E:  and so on like Windows does. There is one filsystem that starts everything called the root or /    then all else are inside directories below that. So that a USB drive you plug in is attached to something like /media/USB-name/      and so on like this.
[19:27] <max_> ok so if I want to access my sd card >> ?
[19:28] <Sysi> cd /media/[press tab twice]
[19:29] <max_> what does pressing tab twice do?
[19:30] <genii> max_: Tab key does autocomplete ... soo it should tell you the devices it sees under the /media directory. The sdcard should have some name in there, if it's plugged in.
[19:31] <max_> Oh I see!
[19:31] <genii> ( the name it has will vary by manufacturer or the name it was given when formatted, etc)
[19:31] <max_> clever!! but what if it sees more than one?
[19:32] <Sysi> try to choose the right one
[19:32] <max_> touble is if I do: sudo fdisk -l it gives me my sd card with the name:  mmcblk0p1
[19:32] <max_> how do I access that?
[19:32] <Sysi> run "mount"
[19:32] <Sysi> it tells path where it's mounted
[19:34] <max_> OK I tell you what Ive done, Ive downloaded an image of a version of linux I need to run on my raspberry pi, unzipped it with 7zip, then dd to the sd card but now I would like to actually access it from the sd card o maybe boot from it. How can I?
[19:37] <max_> I'm following this tutorial >> http://www.linuxsystems.it/2012/06/debian-wheezy-raspberry-pi-minimal-image/  but only done the 2 first steps. Stuck now :-(
[19:38] <max_> any help?
[19:40] <Sysi> if you type cd /media and press tab few times, do you get anything?
[19:41] <Sysi> does *anything* happen
[19:46] <nantou> terminal and htop
[19:46] <nantou> there are like 5 processes all named java dnetworkadress.cache.ttl=0  that I cannot shut. I mean, I press f9 and confirm, but those processes never die, It consumes 90% of my cpu
[19:47] <nantou> -enableassertions freenet appears at the end of the lines
[20:14] <max_> Sysi, sorry was on the phone
[20:14] <max_> Sysi, yeah it says max$   ?!?!
[20:17] <max_> Sysi, is that good?
[20:17] <Sysi> ehm, does it suggest your username or not anything?
[20:18] <nikolam> anyone have some IP telephone switchbox active? (asterisk) so I can try out one VOIP hardware phone? :P
[20:18] <ur0pl> does xubuntu automatically boot ntfs external drives
[20:18] <ur0pl> or do i need some different configuration?
[20:19] <ur0pl> cause it aint working
[20:19] <nikolam> ur0pl, search synaptic for ntfs
[20:19] <nikolam> as I recollect, you set it up in gui, to mount it
[20:20] <max_> Sysi, it just suggests  /max
[20:21] <Sysi> max_: if you keep pressing tab, does it suggest snything more?
[20:22] <max_> hang on
[20:22] <max_> nah
[20:23] <Sysi> I'd guess your card isn't mounted, plug it out and back in
[20:23] <max_> already tried that > nothing happened
[20:26] <ur0pl> it would be nice if it could auto amount
[20:27] <ur0pl> is there a gui that helps browse a windows share folder?
[20:29] <ur0pl> it is even fat 32
[20:29] <ur0pl> wtf
[20:29] <ur0pl> and it does not auto mount?
[20:29] <ur0pl> my usb flash drive auto amounts
[20:29] <ur0pl> but this doesn't?
[20:30] <ur0pl> i'm going to #ubuntu
[20:31] <max_> dunno, :-(
[22:03] <Aiena> When I lock a screen all downloads and apps continue to run or do they stop?
[22:03] <genii> Aiena: They continue.
