| iUnify | I am looking for a way to organize my applications in Ubuntu. I have all of the Studio apps for example - and I am very happy with the way that Studio organizes them... namely in an approiately named folder with the link to each app... sub folders if neccessary... secondly with the fact that menu is right at the top of the screen where the Ubuntu menu is.... so, I would like VERY much to find a way to do something of this nature in | 03:21 |
| iUnify | Ubuntu menu than I would like to at least be able to have an application launcher I can create folders in and sub folders with shortcuts to the apps. Like Mac has.... whatever, just somthing. Any help!? :D | 03:21 |
| iUnify | Hey Guys.... you know the Ubuntu Search...? For example, when I click the "Applications" tab... it gives me results in 3 fields: Recently Used, Installed and Available For Download... can I consolidate that to just Installed? I dont want to see ALL the other results and have separate categories.... just keep it simple. | 04:03 |
| Unit193 | "Ubuntu Search"? Is this in USC or something? | 04:07 |
| phil_234234 | hey there, need some help, system does not boot anymore | 05:09 |

| tyguy678 | Hey, while I was installing Xubuntu from a live CD my comp got unplugged, am I screwed? | 05:28 |
| Unit193 | Meaning do you have to start over? Well, depends on which part you lost power, but I'd say it's a safe bet. | 05:30 |
| tyguy678 | It lost power when after the "Who Are You?" stuff and it was installing the system folder. | 05:31 |
| Unit193 | I'd go for a re-install, easier and you don't really have any files to lose. | 05:33 |
| tyguy678 | OK, I'll try it. | 05:34 |
| tyguy678 | The re-install is working so far, thanks. :) | 05:39 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 05:46 |
| tyguy678 | is the installing system screen supposed to take a very long time? I'm actually suspicious it may have crashed. | 06:06 |
| cfhowlett | tyguy678, define "long" | 06:07 |
| tyguy678 | oh, never mind, it was just stuck on the same part of the progress bar for 10 | 06:08 |
| tyguy678 | minutes | 06:08 |
| tyguy678 | the installation just finished | 06:08 |

| yeyeman | Hi, I accidentally kubuntu-desktop | 08:24 |
| yeyeman | how can I remove it? | 08:24 |
| elfy | what version | 08:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | !pure-xfce | 08:25 |
| well_laid_lawn | !purexfce | 08:26 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » | 08:26 |
| elfy | yeyeman: to remove it on 13.04 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-xubuntu/ for versions pre 13.04 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu | 08:26 |
| yeyeman | elfy: that does not work | 08:27 |
| yeyeman | I get a bunch of "unable to locate package" | 08:27 |
| elfy | then perhaps you didn't install it | 08:28 |
| yeyeman | no it's there | 08:29 |
| elfy | what is kubuntu-desktop or it and all the apps it will install | 08:30 |
| yeyeman | it's all the apps as well I think | 08:31 |
| yeyeman | now when I start the comp I see this horrible animated wallpaper | 08:31 |
| yeyeman | and I tried apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop | 08:32 |
| yeyeman | but KDE plasma windows is still an option in the login menu | 08:32 |
| elfy | apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop won't help | 08:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | kubuntu-desktop is a meta package - just one package that installs lots of others, you have to remove the installed packages sepearately | 08:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | why that hasn't been sorted out yet is beyond me | 08:34 |
| yeyeman | Well, what I'm most anxious to get rid of is the start up stuff | 08:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | you have to follow the purexfce/purexubuntu links above | 08:36 |
| elfy | yeyeman: if you are running something like http://pastebin.com/ruVJUjYH and it tells you unable to locate package then you have problems | 08:36 |
| yeyeman | yep | 08:38 |
| yeyeman | I just wanted to try a new desktop | 08:38 |
| yeyeman | I did it before with gnome 3 | 08:39 |
| yeyeman | and that did not take over my comp and install 450 apps | 08:39 |
| elfy | please use pastebin to show us the exact command you are using and the error message | 08:40 |
| yeyeman | hold on I might be able to fix it | 08:42 |
| yeyeman | everybody hold your breath :P | 08:43 |
| TheSheep | you get "unable to locate package" when you didn't run 'apt-get update' for a long time, and the versions of packages have changed on the server | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | just running update should fix it | 08:44 |
| yeyeman | what's the difference between update and upgrade? | 08:45 |
| elfy | update updates the package lists | 08:45 |
| TheSheep | update checks what versions are on the servers, upgrade actually installs the latest versions | 08:45 |
| yeyeman | kde sucks | 08:49 |
| yeyeman | btw | 08:49 |
| yeyeman | I'm a bit of a minimalist, but I actually can't understand why anyone would want that | 08:50 |
| yeyeman | I can deal with windows and even mac | 08:50 |
| yeyeman | gnome didn't disgust me so much as I thought it would | 08:51 |
| yeyeman | but kde with all it's bs effects and weirdo desktop system | 08:51 |
| TheSheep | --> #xubuntu-offtopic | 08:51 |

| TheSheep | you can rant all you want, just do it on the offtopic channel, and don't swear :) | 08:54 |
| yeyeman | acknowledged | 08:57 |
| yeyeman | hi | 09:09 |
| yeyeman | so the pastebin thing sure did remove a lot of stuff | 09:09 |
| yeyeman | but the start up animation is still there | 09:10 |
| yeyeman | I would love to get back the mouse and the spinning ring | 09:10 |
| yeyeman | it was cute | 09:10 |
| yeyeman | or just replace it with something else really anything | 09:11 |
| yeyeman | otherwise it will be like every time I start my comp there will be a reminder there | 09:12 |
| yeyeman | "hey remember when you installed kde and everything sucked" | 09:13 |
| yeyeman | here's an ugly animated wallpaper to remind you | 09:13 |
| elfy | yeyeman: you actually need to go to the links that well_laid_lawn and I gave you and run the right one for your version - you also need to read what people are telling you to do | 09:16 |
| elfy | and just because you don't like something it doesn't suck | 09:16 |
| yeyeman | I did run the links you gave me | 09:17 |
| elfy | you ran the pastebin example - that might not be the right one for your version | 09:18 |
| yeyeman | the other one didn't work | 09:18 |
| yeyeman | it gave me errors about "unable to find package" | 09:19 |
| elfy | then that is down to you - where do you think I found that command? | 09:19 |
| yeyeman | but the pastebin removed all the apps, and the option to start kde at login | 09:20 |
| yeyeman | however, the grub screen still shows "start kubuntu" and the subsequent animation I've been telling you about | 09:20 |
| elfy | well good luck with it - I'm off now | 09:21 |
| m1chael | i have a windows 8 laptop. i tried to install xubuntu on it a few months ago. i deleted the efi partition and removed xubuntu. however, i still see xUbuntu in the bios/efi boot menu. i tried using 'bcdedit' but do not see xUbuntu in the list. I tried using xubuntu 13.04 x64 'efibootmgr' but there is a bug that does not make the changes. I don't have fast enough internet at the moment to try | 14:11 |
| m1chael | xubuntu 12.04. is there a way i can do this without downloading xubuntu 12.04? | 14:11 |
| bekks | You cant try out software without obtaining it first. | 14:12 |
| m1chael | are you talking to me bekks? | 14:13 |
| m1chael | if so, i know that. but can i do it with windows? | 14:14 |
| vladi | m1chael: try removing Xubuntu entry with EasyBCD | 14:24 |
| m1chael | thanks vladi, i'll try this! looks promising | 14:26 |
| Buzzer | My xubuntu freezes on boot (splash shows briefly). The last thing I did was performing the second option in http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.boston.discuss/43603 . I've already deleted the config file and cleared the tmp directory from a live cd but no change. Ideas? | 15:14 |
| Buzzer | The third option* | 15:14 |
| xubuntu545 | Where could I find more information about the panel? Documentation is of no use. Whenever I start Xubuntu, I get 7 errors, displayed on my second screen, a beamer which is turned off during day. The panel icons dont accept clicks. And now, the panes has desided not to stick to the upper edge, but come down to 1/3rd of the screen, overlaying whatever I am working on. | 15:19 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu545: try disabling the other screen | 15:40 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu545: in display settings | 15:40 |
| oelsen | hi all. can I map names to names in resolv.conf? I can map IP to names there. I want to "alias" a domain | 16:07 |
| oelsen | ok, I found the pdnsd manual page. somebody reading this? I don't know how to make *.X.com records into the config file (it should be possible, I think) | 16:32 |
| oelsen | ha! I probably found a workaround :D (if someone reads this later) | 17:02 |
| xubuntu906 | I received a notification to update my Raring base. When I attempted to I received this message: | 18:06 |
| xubuntu906 | Ugh. Not letting me paste the message. Anyway, it's indicating that I don't have enough space on /boot. I am a followed the suggestion of trying sudo apt-get clean to no avail. I'm a Linux novice. How do I best go about making room for the update? | 18:09 |
| yeyeman | hey, I have a problem with the way fonts are rendered | 18:14 |
| Malgorath | Anyone suggest a decent laptop that isn't to expensive? I'm looking at getting something just for xubuntu | 18:14 |
| yeyeman | they look almost too sharp, or to have too much contrast | 18:14 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: that's the trouble with having a /boot partition - have you got synaptic installed | 18:14 |
| yeyeman | it's hurting my eyes a bit to look at it | 18:15 |
| yeyeman | where are some setting to play around with? | 18:15 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: if you haven't run this in a terminal please - you'll get a url - give us that | 18:16 |
| elfy | dpkg -l linux-image* |pastebinit | 18:16 |
| xubuntu906 | ok, I'll do that now | 18:17 |
| elfy | if you've got synaptic installed - just open that | 18:17 |
| xubuntu906 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6080278/ | 18:18 |
| elfy | there's probably and easier way to do this a bunch at a time - but I'm not really here | 18:19 |
| flux242 | yeyeman: i'd check antialiasing settings first. Appearence->Fonts->Rendering | 18:19 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: so in a terminal you can use apt-get to remove some of those | 18:19 |
| xubuntu906 | are they all safe to go? Or only some of them? | 18:20 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: some | 18:20 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: remove the pairs of 19/25/26 | 18:21 |
| elfy | like this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2150092&p=12676629&viewfull=1#post12676629 | 18:21 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: why do you have a /boot partition ? not very useful imo unless you really need them and then you'd probably be able to deal with a full partition :) | 18:22 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: I like to always keep the current and previous kernels in general | 18:23 |
| xubuntu906 | I didn't realize I had a /boot partition to be perfectly honest. It's a new (to me) laptop and I'm still getting a feel for it. | 18:25 |
| elfy | well - you'll need to keep an eye on that in future :) | 18:26 |
| xubuntu545 | TheSheep: Thanks, disabling/enabling 2nd screen worked | 18:27 |
| xubuntu906 | I will. Thanks. Just reading over the link you sent me so I can try to clear this stuff out. | 18:29 |
| elfy | xubuntu906: ok - the link has different kernels - but the logic is the same for your list, just don't remove them all - to be clear you'll remove 3 linux-image and 3 linux-image-extra | 18:31 |
| elfy | I'm off for a bit - there are others about :) | 18:31 |
| xubuntu906 | thanks so much :) | 18:32 |

| xubuntu417 | hi | 19:52 |
| Shirakawasuna | I lost my firetray systray icon for thunderbird in the process of switching from nvidia to intel graphics (which involved redoing my panel, including indicator applet). I'm not sure why. Any ideas or alternatives? | 20:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | I'm hoping there's a systray whitelist somewhere or something | 20:30 |
| Shirakawasuna | ah, there's separate notification area vs. indicator applets. For some reason I thought the indicator plugin had both | 20:34 |
| Shirakawasuna | (fixed it by adding 'notification area' applet) | 20:34 |
