[00:22] <keyhaaf> Where's the best place to report a hardware function-key issue?
[01:45] <maitake> well Xubuntu, elementary no more
[01:45] <maitake> lol
[01:45] <maitake> elementary os turned out extremely underwhelming
[01:45] <maitake> back to XFCE it is...
[01:51] <xubuntu894> hi
[03:01] <xubuntu591> How do I access the Advanced Ubuntu options upon start up?
[05:39] <_ingsoc> Does anyone know if the xubuntu-theme for Wordpress is available somewhere?
[05:40] <_ingsoc> I can see there's http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/themes/xubuntu-theme/xubuntu-wp/ but it's inaccessible (for good reason).
[12:15] <xubuntu658> Hi. Just installed Xubuntu. So far so good =)
[12:57] <Stek_Turku> hi all
[12:59] <Stek_Turku> jnlp and iced-tea.... i have a problem... my jnlp files didn't work
[12:59] <Stek_Turku> does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
[13:13] <bekks> Stek_Turku: Define "dont work" please. Do they refuse to work, sit around and drink beer all day?
[13:14] <Stek_Turku> can i put directly the output here?
[13:14] <Stek_Turku> from my shell?
[13:14] <bekks> No, use a pastebin.
[13:14] <Stek_Turku> ok
[13:19] <Stek_Turku> http://pastebin.com/TA1MRaWC
[13:19] <Stek_Turku> @bekks: http://pastebin.com/TA1MRaWC
[13:19] <Stek_Turku> bekks: http://pastebin.com/TA1MRaWC
[13:20] <Stek_Turku> in the past i have no problem with my jnlp files
[13:20] <bekks> "Cannot connect to SOCKS proxy". The error is quite obvious, isnt it?
[13:21] <Stek_Turku> it was only a problem of internet connection?
[13:23] <Stek_Turku> bekks: first of all thank you for your answers and sorry but i am a beginner... for me jar files and jnlp files are program that i launch by javaws and java -jar commands
[14:33] <phoenix__> hi
[14:33] <phoenix__> i installed xubuntu on my dell laptop
[14:34] <phoenix__> then i added a new user > account type administrator
[14:35] <phoenix__> then i deleted the previous account which i had created at the time of installation
[14:35] <phoenix__> now i am unable to perform any administrator task with the latter account
[14:36] <phoenix__> even though in the users settings it is being shown as administrator
[14:36] <pmjdebru1jn> "define administrator task"
[14:36] <pmjdebru1jn> does sudo -s on a Terminal work
[14:36] <phoenix__> when i try to run a command with sudo it says you are not in sudoers list
[14:36] <pmjdebru1jn> oh ouch
[14:37] <pmjdebru1jn> what does `groups` say
[14:38] <pmjdebru1jn> and
[14:38] <pmjdebru1jn> getent group | grep sudo
[14:38] <phoenix__> pmjdebru1jn, i am unable to unlock users settings
[14:39] <bekks> pmjdebru1jn: Useless use of grep. Use: getent group sudo
[14:39] <pmjdebru1jn> bekks: who cares :)
[14:39] <phoenix__> sudo x:27
[14:39] <bekks> The user.
[14:40] <phoenix__> sudo x:27:
[14:40] <pmjdebru1jn> ah, well that your problem
[14:40] <bekks> No, it isnt.
[14:40] <pmjdebru1jn> huh?
[14:40] <bekks> The non-existing entry for the user in the /etc/sudoers file is.
[14:41] <bekks> You dont need to be a member of the sudo group to use sudo.
[14:41] <pmjdebru1jn> that's the standard mechanism AFAIK
[14:41] <bekks> The standard mechanism is an entry in the /etc/sudoers file.
[14:42] <phoenix__> there is no /etc/sudoers file on my system
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> huh?
[14:42] <bekks> phoenix__: Then you dont have sudo installed.
[14:42] <phoenix__> bekks, ok there is sorry
[14:42] <pmjdebru1jn> bekks: at least standard Ubuntu tools add the admin users into the sudo group, instead of making a sudoers entry... which totally makes sense, as it's very easy to add/remove people from the sudo group
[14:43] <bekks> pmjdebru1jn: Then take a close look at the /etc/sudoers file, and you will see an entry for the sudo group.
[14:43] <pmjdebru1jn> bekks: yes of course
[14:43] <pmjdebru1jn> obviously
[14:44] <pmjdebru1jn> I meant the standard mechanism for Ubuntu (not per-se sudo upstream)
[14:44] <bekks> And that entry is just used to faciliate the usage even more - and its basically not necessary to be a member of the sudo group to use sudo.
[14:44] <pmjdebru1jn> we are in #xubuntu after all....
[14:44] <pmjdebru1jn> bekks: of course
[14:45] <phoenix__> what should i do?
[14:45] <bekks> phoenix__: either add your user to the sudo group and log out and login back in completely, or add an entry to the /etc/sudoers file allowing your user to use sudo.
[14:52] <phoenix__> bekks, but that i suppose would require root priveleges
[14:52] <bekks> Correct.
[14:53] <bekks> And the user that was created during the installation should have sudo privileges. If it doesnt, you need to use a live CD, boot it, fix it, and continue.
[14:55] <phoenix__> bekks, the user that was created during install was deleted
[14:56] <bekks> Then you need to follow the instructions given above.
[14:56] <phoenix__> bekks, how to fix
[14:57] <bekks> phoenix__: either add your user to the sudo group and log out and login back in completely, or add an entry to the /etc/sudoers file allowing your user to use sudo.
[14:58] <pmjdebru1jn> phoenix__: if you don't know how to rescue a system using a live cd... a reinstall might be better suited
[14:59] <pmjdebru1jn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Add_User_to_a_Group this might help
[15:00] <bekks> Reinstallation isnt needed at all.
[15:01] <pmjdebru1jn> of course it's not, but not everybody has the skill to do a recovery :)
[15:02] <pmjdebru1jn> phoenix__: that page I posted has some guidelines on how to do a recovery
[15:04] <phoenix__> pmjdebru1jn, bekks thanks a lot, i though i would have to reinstall

[19:28] <nl287> hi
[19:30] <nl287> suspend working very well but strange hibernate is disabled
[19:31] <Sysi> https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html
[19:32] <nl287> Sysi: thx
[19:32] <nl287> but if suspend is in logout menu why hibernate is not?
[20:43] <bullgard4> nl287: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html: "Unfortunately, hibernate doesn't work in many cases with Ubuntu, which can cause you to lose data if you expect your documents and applications to re-open when you switch your computer back on. "

[22:29] <Maggie> How do I get the Advanced Xubuntu options to appear so I may change the version when starting up?
[23:04] <MrHotsauce> Maggie: hold shift while booting
[23:07] <Maggie> thank you MrHotsauce! I upgraded to Ringtail, had problems with flash
[23:08] <MrHotsauce> well
[23:08] <MrHotsauce> that only lets you select kernal version i believe
[23:08] <MrHotsauce> unless you have a dual boot setup going you can only change kernal i think
[23:09] <Maggie> will try it and come back to let you know
[23:16] <Maggie> MrHotsauce, i held down shift upon boot and didn't get the window to change the version.  I tried F12 and it didn't work either
[23:58] <Maggie> MrHotsauce:  I tried it again and it worked!  Thank you so much!
[23:59] <MrHotsauce> good!
[23:59] <MrHotsauce> sorry i was the phone with family i didnt see you reply
