[00:02] <Viva_Nero> yes
[00:03] <Viva_Nero> Is there a way to set a keyboard shortcut to remove mouse focus from whatever window has it?
[00:06] <David-A> Viva_Nero: if the problem is that the game steals and held the mouse hostage, have you tried Settings>WindowManagerTweaks>Focus>FocusStealingPrevention ? (I dont know if it will help)
[00:09] <Viva_Nero> yes
[00:10] <Viva_Nero> although I want it to hold the mouse when playing, but get it back on menu screens
[00:10] <Viva_Nero> and that option mainly seems to apply to new windows opening
[00:27] <David-A> Viva_Nero: you can define a keyboard shortcut in Settings>Keyboard that starts any program, in this case a script of your own that calls xdotool that moves focus. (doubt it is the best solution, and not sure it will work in this case)
[00:51] <skorpio> how can i restart xfce window manager without log-out or restart?
[00:57] <David-A> skorpio: many wm's have the --replace flag. i.e. xfwm4 --replace
[00:58] <skorpio> yea tried that but it didnt solve my problem
[00:59] <skorpio> it seems as if only some themes apply to xfce compositing settings
[01:16] <Psil0Cybin> Hey guys quick question so when ever i randomly turn on my laptop sometimes out of the blue it will boot into console instead of the GUI i have tried to figure it out but i cant find a fix, and alot of people with an Acer Aspire one Laptop so someone suggested to look at Xorg.0.log and I have and posted the results here http://pastebin.com/13GhXjQY but i cannot figure out why it is happening
[01:16] <Psil0Cybin> can someone help me further diagnose the problem
[01:16] <Psil0Cybin> it happends randomly, and is fixed by a quick restart but it never used to happen
[01:17] <Psil0Cybin> its like something is failing randomly
[01:23] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: I suspect the paste is not the complete Xorg.0.log file
[01:24] <Psil0Cybin> well i copied the whole thing but this is a log from when i actually got back into my xfce
[01:24] <Psil0Cybin> not from when i had the problem
[01:24] <Psil0Cybin> i had to restart to fix it
[01:26] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: if you boot into a gui sucessfully, the current Xorg.0.log is probably ok, then you have to post Xorg.1.log for the previous boot (assuming previous boot failed, check the time stamps on the logs to be sure)
[01:27] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: or maybe it is Xorg.0.log.old
[01:27] <Psil0Cybin> Well this is my Xorg.1.log file
[01:27] <Psil0Cybin> http://pastebin.com/vVMfemCU
[01:27] <Psil0Cybin> one sec let me find the .old
[01:28] <Psil0Cybin> David-A: this is my Xorg.0.log.old file
[01:28] <Psil0Cybin> http://pastebin.com/rwP7fate
[01:30] <Psil0Cybin> like i cant figure it out
[01:30] <Psil0Cybin> everything looks fine
[01:30] <Psil0Cybin> do yo uthink i should try to disable the driver im using now and try and use a more updated one?
[01:31] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: I see no apparent problems in them, but I suspect some are incomplete. Errors should be marked "(EE)"
[01:32] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: you could try. if you installed the driver via "additional hardware drivers" or whats it called, you should have up-to-date drivers automatically.
[01:32] <SonikkuAmerica> David-A, Psil0Cybin: What's this: >> [    30.426] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> I have no idea...
[01:34] <David-A> SonikkuAmerica: I dont know. Its in my log too.
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> Well for my computer
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> i have two drivers in additional hardware drivers
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> right i have
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> drm driver for the INTEL GMA500 enabled
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> and i also have
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> Intel Cedarview Graphics driver
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> thats disabled
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> so i should try switching it?
[01:34] <Psil0Cybin> you think
[01:35] <Psil0Cybin> but the problem is i have no other problems other then it randomly booting into terminal im scared to cause more problems
[01:35] <Psil0Cybin> by switching drivers if it almost usually works
[01:35] <Psil0Cybin> like its just wierd how 1/10 boots it will go into console
[01:35] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: yes, and also try use neither (to use the default open source driver)
[01:38] <Psil0Cybin> do u thinkif i swtich drivers i might butcher it even mo eand not be able to get into GUi period
[01:38] <Psil0Cybin> if so what should i do?
[01:41] <David-A> what happend to bravery? but you'r okay. to save the world we need causion
[01:43] <David-A> Psil0Cybin: if you get to a login screen you can select failsafe session. I am not sure if I remember correctlym, but think then it will use a default driver. It wont help if you dont get to a (gui) login screen.
[01:52] <machstem> hey, I was wondering if anyone is around to help me out with a weird issue installing xubuntu on a ASUS EEE PC Flare Series
[01:54] <machstem> I wanted to install xubuntu 12.10 for my daughter on this thing, and the process seems to go, but all throughout the install I see a message about "unable to enumerate usb device on port 1".  It goes on, over and over and over again, throughout the installer, and then on reboot after a successful install, it constantly floods the screen.  I never end up seeing a GUI, just a init3 login prompt.  It's so bad I can't even see myself type s
[01:54] <machstem> over and over again.
[01:55] <machstem> I installed the OS using a USB drive; having use the ubuntu usb installer method.  There are no options for me to disable USB ports in the BIOS of this thing.  I'm at a loss as I haven't been able to find anyone who can help.  I tried a command:  update-usbids and the command worked, but the messages keep appearing repeatedly.
[02:01] <Psil0Cybin> machstem: i never heard of that problem
[02:02] <Psil0Cybin> im using an ASUS Aspire One
[02:02] <Psil0Cybin> and it was hard to get Xubuntu i had to find a SPECIFIC build
[02:02] <Psil0Cybin> for the machine im using
[02:02] <Psil0Cybin> by googling Xubuntu Acer Aspire One Download
[02:02] <machstem> interesting
[02:03] <machstem> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1819263
[02:03] <machstem> found this
[02:05] <machstem> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1069031
[02:05] <machstem> i don't know exactly how to patch this kind of stuff
[02:06] <machstem> how do i blacklist gma500_glx ?
[02:10] <Psil0Cybin> David-A: when i tried to remove the old driver it removed the new one
[02:10] <Psil0Cybin> so the only way to active the latest one is to active both of them :S
[02:10] <Psil0Cybin> is that normal
[02:14] <machstem> Psil0Cybin: looks like I may need to use 12.04 LTS from what I've read
[02:15] <machstem> Psil0Cybin:  do you know how to "disable gma500_glx" ? (one of the suggestions posed on a bug report)
[02:15] <Psil0Cybin> no machstem :(
[02:15] <Psil0Cybin> im kinda figuring out linux lol im still pretty new
[02:15] <Psil0Cybin> 5 months
[02:15] <Psil0Cybin> since i stepped fully into Xubuntu without windows
[02:15] <machstem> ah k
[02:15] <machstem> i run a lot of linux systems, but mostly server stuff
[02:16] <machstem> rarely use a gui at work
[02:19] <Psil0Cybin> so
[02:20] <Psil0Cybin> selected the new driver guys and it enabled both of them so i guess i have to have both of them activated
[02:20] <Psil0Cybin> because i cannot have the newest driver activated without the older one
[02:20] <Psil0Cybin> but now the problem is i have to keep restarting and restarting till i see if the problem occures
[02:20] <Psil0Cybin> it seems okay at the moment, i was able to boot right into Xubuntu this time
[07:26] <no_esc> do the mime types also reside in a file? which can be edited in vim for example?
[07:28] <well_laid_lawn> have a look in ~/.local for a file
[08:03] <no_esc> I checked, but as far I can determine it's not possible, because it is sort of a database which depends on a directory structure located in /usr/share/mime/ and xml-files
[08:05] <no_esc> But thanks for the time, much appreciated. (in the future I will search before asking)
[12:24] <vice_> Guys, why Skype always asking me link open source (chromium)? How can i do it forever. Theres no checkbox for that. Thx!
[13:19] <aicasn-V> every so often my pc needs more ram than it has so it starts using the swap space. why is it, though, that when ram usage drops back down to almost non-existent the data isn't moved back out of the swap space?
[13:20] <bgardner> aicasn-V: Here's a lengthy overview of swap that should address your question: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[13:23] <aicasn-V> thanks. will read
[13:34] <cub> aicasn-V, I think if you during the installation chose "Use the whole disc" it will give you a swap space equal to your RAM. At least mine is.
[13:35] <bgardner> cub: I believe aicasn-V's question was why swap was not being freed after it was no longer in use, rather than amount of swap created at install.
[14:05] <cub> bgardner, yeah, I just wondered myself when I read through the wiki page.
[14:06] <bgardner> cub: Yeah, and while that's a comprehensive article, I don't know that it actually answers aicasn-V's question.
[14:17] <cub> aicasn-V, "Once data is in swap, when does it come out again? Transferring data out of swap is (for traditional hard disks, at least) just as time-consuming as putting it in there. So understandably, your kernel will be just as reluctant to remove data from swap, especially if it's not actually being used (ie read from or written to). If you have data in swap and it's not being used, then it's actually a good thing that it remains in swap, since it leaves more
[14:17] <cub>  memory for other things that are being used, potentially speeding up your system."
[14:18] <cub> from: http://askubuntu.com/questions/157793/why-is-swap-being-used-even-though-i-have-plenty-of-free-ram
[14:21] <aicasn-V> bgardner: the link you provided has a script for forcing the data back into memory (a simple disable then reenable swap partitions) but it doesn't say why the kernel chose to leave the data swapped in the first place
[14:22] <bgardner> aicasn-V: Correct, see cub's answer - the kernel is understandably reluctant to touch data for swap, either in or out.
[14:24] <aicasn-V> cub: makes sense. thanks for posting that :)
[14:24] <cub> np, I got curious myself running a small eee pc
[14:25] <Kaapa> hey there. Some of my webapps are crashing firefox

[20:05] <WormDrink> hi
[20:05] <WormDrink> can unetbootin space be used by xubuntu also ?
[20:15] <elfy> WormDrink: do you mean if you set it up with free space across reboots - if you do I believe so, though I've never actually done so myself
[20:47] <elfy> WormDrink: do you mean if you set it up with free space across reboots - if you do I believe so, though I've never actually done so myself
[20:47] <elfy> I posted that at the same as you left the channel :)
[20:47] <WormDrink> thanks
[20:48] <WormDrink> how come the screenshooter only has support for the very worst image host ?
[20:49] <knome> WormDrink, that's what the developer uses. patches welcome.
[20:57] <WormDrink> knome, I can give money
[21:00] <knome> WormDrink, i'm not somebody who can implement such features, but i'm sure you can find somebody who can in turn implement and send the patch
[21:00] <knome> WormDrink, even for free :)
[21:34] <GridCube> !es
[21:34] <GridCube> knome, see the message in -devel, is the correct one, this one works no more
[21:35] <knome> yeah, i was about to fix that, but i got lost. thanks for reminding
[21:38] <knome> !es | GridCube
[21:43] <GridCube> perfect, thanks knome :D
