| pjotter | Hi! I have a question: If I wanted to put two panels over each other. One is always visable, the other one will automatically show and hide. How do I prevent the 'show and hide' panel from disappearing behind the visible panel. Is there a way to always put one panel over the other? | 00:37 |

| newuser | i just installed xubuntu Ringtail 13.04, on a vaio vpcw21s1e and my screen is soo smal | 00:43 |
| newuser | *small | 00:43 |
| newuser | i tryed to change resolution but still... nothing, thanks in advance for the help :) | 00:44 |
| newuser | the screen seems to be cuted on the sides... the resolution is fine but still its very hard to look at the screen like that... what can i do ? | 00:47 |
| pjotter | Is there a way to set the z-order of the panels so that one panel will always be on top of the other? | 00:50 |
| Psil0Cybin | hey guys can someone help me figure out why my wifi says connected but i cannot access the internet, it was working perfect yesterday before i tried installing and configuring samba, but i dunt think samba is the problem, i just am clueless i have googld and googled, and tried thosands of answers none which worked for me...I have tried to reset my modem/router but it works perfectly fine for this computer, my other computers internet conne | 08:21 |
| Psil0Cybin | ction works for 5 minutes then disconnects for 25 minutes and reconnects for 5 (doesnt say reconnects just lets me actually view websites) I can see my wifi connection is constantly connected so im clueless | 08:21 |
| kj5t | When you say that it shows that it is still connected, are you basing that off of just looking at the indicator at the top of the screen or are you watching the connection with some utility? | 08:23 |
| kj5t | You might try using iwconfig | 08:24 |
| kj5t | watch -n1 iwconfig | 08:24 |
| kj5t | see if the signal is actually dropping out when you hit the connection issues | 08:24 |
| TheSheep | can also be a neighbour with a strong wifi signal interfering | 08:26 |
| kj5t | You do say the other machine connects fine, is this other machine also connecting on wifi? Is it close to the machine that is having the issue? | 08:27 |
| yeyeman | how can I remove session saving from all circumstances? | 09:41 |
| yeyeman | xubuntu seems to grab every chance it get's to save my sessions for me | 09:42 |
| kj5t | If you go under Settings > Session and Startup is it set there to Automatically save session on logout? | 09:46 |
| kj5t | If it isn't checked there and still happening delete your ~/.cache/sessions directory | 09:48 |
| yeyeman | its not checked | 09:48 |
| yeyeman | ok | 09:48 |
| kj5t | If you delete the sessions directory and you still have the issue, I don't know :) | 09:49 |
| yeyeman | it's an annoying 'feature' anyway, or it's annoying that the system seems designed to "want" to do it | 09:50 |
| yeyeman | without being explicitly turned on | 09:50 |
| cfhowlett | yeyeman, might also want to check what application autostart is doing ... | 09:51 |
| kj5t | Kind of off topic, but I am curious if anyone has gotten the media buttons on the Rosewill RK-9100 keyboard working with xUbuntu 13.04... haven't found anything online (other than people saying we are SOL) but always worth asking :) | 09:54 |

| andyland | When using a non gui emacs, all the meta keys (meta-f, meta-b) responds to something in the terminal file menu. How do I disable this? | 13:12 |
| Sysi | in terminal settings there's an option to disable menu hotkeys | 13:13 |

| Taylr0x | I'm trying to open /etc/default/grub via the command gksudo gedit but it doesn't appear to do anything. What I'm typing is: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub | 18:00 |
| Taylr0x | Can anyone shed some light on how I can open this file to edit it please? | 18:00 |
| l01 | Taylr0x: gksudo mousepad filename | 18:02 |
| l01 | gedit is not installed by default on Xubuntu. | 18:02 |
| Taylr0x | l01, ahhh right smashing. Many thanks. | 18:02 |
| Taylr0x | l01, mousepad worked a treat. thanks for your help =) | 18:06 |

| chocwise | Hi there. I've got a problem with Compiz. I can't seem to deactivate the Grid plugin. | 21:42 |
| chocwise | When I cluck the checkbox in CCSM it gets unchecked. But as soon as I start CCSM again Grid is activated again. | 21:43 |
| chocwise | I installed the generic Ubuntu 12.10 at first but removed ubuntu-desktop and installed xubuntu desktop. Oh, and I upgraded to 13.04. But this bug is still there since the beginning. | 21:45 |
| knome | chocwise, for starters, compiz isn't really supported with xubuntu. | 21:45 |
| chocwise | Isn't it? It works pretty well, if you ask me. :D | 21:46 |
| chocwise | tWell, except of that Grid issue. XD | 21:46 |
| knome | it isn't. it might work, but there's no guarantee | 21:46 |
| chocwise | So... you're implying I should check out #compiz? XD | 21:46 |
| knome | that would probably be a good choice | 21:46 |
| chocwise | So be it then. See ya. ;9 | 21:47 |
| knome | good luck | 21:47 |
| m_tadeu | hi everyone | 22:09 |
| chocwise | Hi there. | 22:10 |
| m_tadeu | the shadows in my desktop appear as a black box...what can I do about it? | 22:10 |
| chocwise | Do you have Compiz installed? What Graphics Card do you use and what driver? | 22:15 |
| m_tadeu | I don't know about compiz...I have the default xubuntu instalation...the driver I "forced" the intel driver in xorg.conf | 22:23 |
| m_tadeu | it's an old intel gpu, I don't know which 'cos I can't access it now | 22:24 |
| chocwise | So, no Compiz. And I can't help much when it comes to intel GPU's. It could be caused by GPU driver not working properly though. | 22:25 |
| chocwise | Or it just doesn't have any capabilities when it comes to compositing. | 22:25 |
| chocwise | How old are we talking? | 22:25 |
| m_tadeu | 7/8 years | 22:26 |
| chocwise | Well. if you ask me, that could be the cause. You may want to look into deactivating Xfce's compositing feature. | 22:26 |
| chocwise | Or maybe wait some more. Because I'm not very good with Xfce myself. ;) | 22:27 |
| m_tadeu | that would be my second question....how do I do that for guest accounts? | 22:27 |
| chocwise | Let's have a look at google together. :D | 22:27 |
| m_tadeu | I did...but couldn't find an easy way to do it | 22:28 |
| chocwise | Google says you can start xfwm with the parameter xfwm4 --compositor=off | 22:29 |
| chocwise | There's a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-272890.html | 22:29 |
| chocwise | But it doesn't seem a very elegant solution to me. :/ | 22:29 |
| Unit193 | You can also disable it in the settings, Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Compositor. | 22:30 |
| chocwise | Ah, see. Someone who knows what he's talking about. :D | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | Where? | 22:31 |
| m_tadeu | Unit193: I did that...but it doesn't work for guest accounts.... | 22:31 |
| chocwise | *lookingatUnit193* | 22:31 |
| m_tadeu | the next time the guest logs in, the default settings take over | 22:31 |
| chocwise | The default settings are stored somewhere though. Lets have another look at Google together then. :D | 22:32 |
| Unit193 | I don't ever use guest, it's disabled, but xdg has xfwm settings in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/, though I'd want to confirm well before changing it. | 22:34 |
| chocwise | Hah! /etc! That far I came, before Unit pitched in again. :D | 22:34 |
| Unit193 | Just remember, /etc/ is global settings, not user. | 22:35 |
| chocwise | You'd have to be root to edit those settings. | 22:35 |
| m_tadeu | cool...I'll check that tomorrow | 22:36 |
| m_tadeu | thanx guys | 22:36 |
| chocwise | Thank Unit. :D | 22:36 |
| Unit193 | Remember, backups are cheap, and can make things much easier. | 22:38 |
