| jost | Is there a XUbuntu alternate installer image? | 12:01 |
| jost | I want to install XUbuntu on a fakeRaid, and the walkthroughs that the alternative installer should be used for that | 12:01 |
| krytarik | jost: Only for Xubuntu 12.04 (same for Ubuntu too, btw): http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ | 12:07 |
| jost | krytarik: ok, will try that, and then update | 12:07 |

| zhaotongxue | I want to say how to make my own keyboard on xubuntu,like key down super the same as click application menu? | 12:44 |
| zhaotongxue | hello | 12:44 |
| zhaotongxue | nice to meet you | 12:44 |
| bgardner | zhaotongxue, What you want is to go to Settings->Keyboard and remap (or add a map for) 'xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu'. See the existing entry associated with Alt-F1 for how this should look. | 12:49 |
| krytarik | zhaotongxue: Also see here: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq#keyboard ; and for other cases, here: http://docs.xfce.org/faq | 12:51 |
| krytarik | nantou: Have you already had a look at this?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/150210/how-do-i-set-systemwide-proxy-servers-in-xubuntu-lubuntu-or-ubuntu-studio | 13:03 |
| nantou | krytarik, will do ,thanks, but, aint it a bit outdated? its for xubuntu 13.04 | 13:11 |
| krytarik | Nope. | 13:12 |
| bgardner | nantou, I can't vouch for the GTK-specific part of the answer, but I'm on 13.04 and this is how my proxy is setup. | 13:13 |
| zhaotongxue98 | where is the "Appliacations Menu" location? | 13:20 |
| zhaotongxue98 | in 'usr' folder? | 13:21 |
| zhaotongxue98 | please send email to me "zhaotongxue98@gmail.com" | 13:22 |

| nantou | I am about to edit the environment file to proxify the whole system, can anyone confirm if that file has only one line? PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" | 14:31 |
| krytarik | Yup, by default. | 14:32 |
| nantou | ok, hope not to f**k the system | 14:33 |
| nantou | how many programs can use gtk3? I dont use rythmbox | 14:34 |
| nantou | and it doesnt have to be the port 8080 invariably, right? | 14:35 |
| krytarik | nantou: Nope, whatever port the desired proxy offers; and well, just enter those commands, to be safe. | 14:41 |
| nantou | krytarik, you are talking about step 2, right? gtk3 | 14:42 |
| krytarik | Yup. | 14:42 |
| krytarik | The latter part of previous message, that is. | 14:43 |
| nantou | ok, but It wont be a problem if I change just the port, will it?¿ | 14:43 |
| krytarik | Nope, see the first part of my previous message. | 14:43 |

| SunilJoshi | Hello,I need to acces my functional key (i.e. F1,F2....)without pressing Fn key. how can i do this? | 15:36 |
| guest-6384On | Xubuntu help! I cleaned installed xubuntu 12.04 which helped a lot with my long time wait of turning on and logging into xubuntu. BUT, I have a broken computer screen, so I'm using a monitor. I went into Settings Manager and went into the monitor thinking I could turn off my computer screen and only use the montior. BUT, I did the opposite and can't use the monitor which means I can't see anything, because my computer is broke | 16:50 |
| guest-6384On | n. Sooo, I am using my guest log in to talk to you. How can I fix this without clean installing again. I spent hours last night fixing up my new clean install. | 16:50 |
| [0gb_us] | Have you done anything else with the broken account besides changing the monitor settings? | 16:52 |
| guest-6384On | No, just changed the monitor settings. | 16:53 |
| [0gb_us] | Try renaming your user directory while not logged into the account. You might need sudo. Next time you log in, you should have all the default settings. | 16:55 |
| [0gb_us] | There's probably a cleaner way, but I don't know where that is stored. | 16:55 |
| guest-6384On | I'm new tihe linux. Please tell me how to do that. | 16:55 |
| [0gb_us] | WHat's your Xubuntu user name? | 16:56 |
| guest-6384On | karen | 16:56 |
| [0gb_us] | First, you're going to need a non-graphical login. Hold control + alt + F1 to get to a terming. Enter your login information, then hit control + alt + F7 to get back here for further instructions. | 16:59 |
| [0gb_us] | *terminal | 16:59 |
| guest-6384On | o.k. I went there and put in karen and my password. | 17:01 |
| guest-6384On | is that right or should I have only put in karen | 17:01 |
| [0gb_us] | Entering your password was right. | 17:02 |
| guest-6384On | k | 17:02 |
| guest-6384On | now what? | 17:02 |
| [0gb_us] | Go back, and type "mv .config .config.old", then hit enter. | 17:03 |
| guest-6384On | o.k. I did that. It asked for my password which I gave. Now what? | 17:06 |
| [0gb_us] | Try logging in as you through the graphical interface, and see if you can use your monitor now. | 17:06 |
| guest-6384On | k uhhh I guess I will just get back on this line if I do, right? | 17:07 |
| [0gb_us] | Right. | 17:07 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | No, that didn't work. I tried to sign in to my user name karen and the monitor is off. The computer screen I use is broken. | 17:13 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, let's pull out the bug guns. | 17:13 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | ha k | 17:13 |
| [0gb_us] | Go back to the command line, and type "sudo mv /home/karen /home/keren.old". | 17:14 |
| [0gb_us] | *karen.old | 17:14 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | now, there is a space between sudo and mv? and I don't use the quotation marks, right? | 17:15 |
| [0gb_us] | Right. | 17:15 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | k | 17:15 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | k did that now what? | 17:18 |
| [0gb_us] | Now try logging in again to test the monitor. | 17:18 |
| guest-7Hjmzj | k be right back | 17:18 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | No, that didn't work either. I am logged in as guest talking to you. | 17:23 |
| [0gb_us] | Try "sudo ls /home/karen" on the command line, and telling me if you get an error. | 17:25 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | k | 17:25 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | yes it says, "log in incorrect" | 17:27 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay .... THat's not even the type of error we're looking for. Are you still logged in on the command line? | 17:28 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | wait is that an l or a one? sudo one or sudo l ? | 17:28 |
| [0gb_us] | L, the letter. | 17:29 |
| [0gb_us] | But lower case, it's case sensitive. | 17:29 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | ohh hang on then Sorry | 17:29 |
| [0gb_us] | No worries. | 17:29 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | still says log in incorrect | 17:30 |
| [0gb_us] | Are you logged into the command line still? Is it asking you for a user name and password? | 17:30 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | it only asked me for a password when I typed the command in and then it said log in incorrect and then ready for another command. | 17:31 |
| [0gb_us] | Try "ls /home/karen", without the sudo. | 17:33 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | k | 17:33 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | o.k. that didn't work, BUT I just typed in karen and then it asked for my password which i typed in, and something worked. It said, welcome.... | 17:35 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | that didn't change my monitor probably though, right? | 17:36 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, I think everything we've been doing has been while logged out, so no effect. | 17:36 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | ohhh and? | 17:37 |
| [0gb_us] | Let's try "mv .config .config.old" again. THis time, it should work. | 17:37 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | k | 17:37 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | o.k. looks like maybe something worked. It just went to another command line. | 17:38 |
| [0gb_us] | Did you hit the wrong F key? F1 through F6 are six different command lines. | 17:39 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | ummm I | 17:40 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | I'll try it again. | 17:40 |
| [0gb_us] | Not what I meant. You said there was a new command line. | 17:40 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | no, I did it right on F1 | 17:40 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, try "ls .config". | 17:41 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | I put in your command in F1 and it took it and made another line for a new command. | 17:41 |
| [0gb_us] | OH! Got it. | 17:41 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | k I'll try that. | 17:41 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | it says, "no such file or directory". | 17:44 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, perfect. Try logging in and testing the monitor. | 17:44 |
| guest-GhL0Nv | k so I'm going completely off and turning it back on to check. k? | 17:45 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay. | 17:45 |
| === karen is now known as Guest26521 | ||
| Guest26521 | YEAH!!!! It worked!!!! I hope all my settings that I put so much time into last night spiffing up my xubuntu 12.04 are still there. You think? and THANK YOU !!! | 17:49 |
| Guest26521 | OOPS It was supposed to say YEAH it worked up above!! | 17:50 |
| [0gb_us] | You said you made no other changes ..... | 17:50 |
| Guest26521 | not after I tried to do the monitor thing. | 17:50 |
| [0gb_us] | THat sort of wipe changes, because I thought you didn't make any. | 17:50 |
| [0gb_us] | *wiped | 17:50 |
| Guest26521 | ohhhh I'll look into it. thanks! | 17:52 |
| [0gb_us] | Best of luck! | 17:52 |
| Guest26521 | Thanks for your time!!!!!! | 17:52 |
| [0gb_us] | Yeah, no problem. I'm always happy to help people make non-Windows systems work. | 17:53 |
| [0gb_us] | I've been having an odd issue with the Ubuntu Software Center for about a week. Sometimes, software that should be there isn't, and I accept that. BUt this time, the entry for the software shows up in the list of available software, but when I click the "more info" button, I'm told the software isn't in my software sources. | 17:57 |
| [0gb_us] | If it's not in my sources, why is it listed? And f it is in my sources, why does it claim it isn't? | 17:58 |
| TheSheep | maybe you modified the sources but didn't run the update? | 17:59 |
| [0gb_us] | I didn't modify my sources, at least not intentionally. And I tried running "sudo apt-get update" to fix it, but the issue persists. | 18:00 |
| TheSheep | what is the program's name? | 18:02 |
| [0gb_us] | THere are a few, but on is zsnes. | 18:02 |
| TheSheep | !info zsnes | 18:02 |
| ubottu | zsnes (source: zsnes): Emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.510+bz2-5ubuntu2.1 (raring), package size 861 kB, installed size 4018 kB (Only available for any-i386) | 18:02 |
| [0gb_us] | Yeah, that one. | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | that package is not available for the 64 bit platforms | 18:03 |
| TheSheep | try snes9x instead | 18:03 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, that explains it. THough it shouldn't be listed in the search results on my platform if it isn't available on my platform. | 18:04 |
| [0gb_us] | Also, since when is a 64-bit system unable to run 32-bit software? This is very odd indeed. | 18:04 |
| [0gb_us] | "snes9x" is not listed. | 18:05 |
| [0gb_us] | !info puzzle-moppet | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Package puzzle-moppet does not exist in raring | 18:06 |
| [0gb_us] | !info puzzle-moppet precise | 18:06 |
| ubottu | Package puzzle-moppet does not exist in precise | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | you can /msg the bot | 18:06 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay, thanks! | 18:06 |
| TheSheep | you can run 32 bit software, but to install it, you need to specify it (and it will need to pull in all the 32 bit libraries) | 18:07 |
| [0gb_us] | I'll use another emulator, but for my own education, specify it how? | 18:08 |
| TheSheep | sudo apt-get install znes:i386 <-- but in this case it still doesn't work | 18:08 |
| TheSheep | curious | 18:08 |
| [0gb_us] | Thanks! | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | you might want to try asking on #ubuntu what is wrong with it | 18:09 |
| TheSheep | or at #ubuntu-motu | 18:09 |
| [0gb_us] | Okay. I'll do that. | 18:10 |
| isank | hi guys! | 19:08 |
| isank | i want to about a good download manager for my xubuntu | 19:08 |
| isank | can anyone help me plz | 19:08 |
| bekks | wget | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | bekks: you are not very helpful | 19:10 |
| isank | yes buddy wget is there but i am talking about something in graphical thing | 19:10 |
| bekks | TheSheep: Because wget cant download things? | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | isank: the web browsers have them build in since a while | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | bekks: because it's not a manager | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | isank: why do you need a separate one? | 19:11 |
| isank | that i don't need to keep my browser open while downloading or just for downloading | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | but you would still need to have the manager open, so what's the difference? | 19:13 |
| isank | TheSheep: But i donot want my browser to be open | 19:13 |
| [0gb_us] | But you DO want the download manager open? That's the part we don't get. | 19:14 |
| cc_INC | Wait...do you mean a torrent client or a download manager?? | 19:14 |
| TheSheep | I found fatrat, kget, multiget, steadyflow and uget | 19:15 |
| TheSheep | but never used any, so can't recommend them | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | [0gb_us]: I think it's similar to those cases when people really want to have an antivirus and a firewall | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | [0gb_us]: old habits die hard | 19:17 |
| cc_INC | :) | 19:17 |
| [0gb_us] | Ah, I see. | 19:17 |
| [0gb_us] | I was never a Windows user, so I don't suffer from those. I was an OS X user though. I have to say, Xubuntu is a lot nicer. | 19:18 |
| cc_INC | I want to introduce Xubuntu to my mom | 19:20 |
| bekks | cc_INC: "mom, this is ubuntu." "ubuntu, this is mom." :) | 19:20 |
| [0gb_us] | As do I, but she refuses to consider anything but Windows. | 19:20 |
| bekks | cc_INC: Did you ask her yet? | 19:20 |
| cc_INC | She heard the news about Windows XP going EOL in April 2014 and had someone install Windows 7 on her older hardware | 19:20 |
| [0gb_us] | Event though Windows gives her constant greif ... | 19:20 |
| bekks | cc_INC: And? | 19:21 |
| cc_INC | Sometimes making the change is the biggest challenge. | 19:22 |
| bekks | cc_INC: So you didnt ask her yet. | 19:22 |
| [0gb_us] | No one in my house besides my mother is even willing to use Windows because of how bad it is. It's both sad and hilarious how the one thing we won't use is the one thing she will. | 19:24 |
| TheSheep | most of the gried that people get is not from windows itself, but from computers in general, unfortunately -- the little fellows always find a way to take your commands and apply them in a perfectly logical manner to do something completely different than you wanted | 19:24 |
| cc_INC | Yeah I did propose it to her and at first she was interested, but when I wanted to go and get her box she got stressed out :) | 19:24 |
| cc_INC | Ehm...should we take this conversation to off-topic? | 19:25 |
| cc_INC | :) | 19:25 |
| [0gb_us] | Probably. | 19:25 |
| TheSheep | cc_INC: yes | 19:25 |
| bekks | cc_INC: So she said: "Dont do it." | 19:25 |

| Sysi | it'll tell the keycode | 20:57 |
| WalterN | I have a logitech G500 mouse, and one of the buttons on it... | 20:57 |
| GridCube | oh | 20:57 |
| GridCube | jajaja | 20:57 |
| WalterN | well, I'm not sure what it is... | 20:58 |
| GridCube | you can map it to what ever you need i think | 20:58 |
| Unit193 | (xev, you mean.) | 20:58 |
| Sysi | (oh right) | 20:59 |
| WalterN | I want to use it for push to talk in teamspeak, but I cant do it... its like the button does not exist or something | 20:59 |
