| xubuntu359 | lightdm background is always matching with my desktop wallpaper. | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| xubuntu359 | I don't like it especially since the one in the login menu is stretched while on the desktop is zoomed. | 00:19 |
| xubuntu359 | where should I define the background picture? I've tried it on /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf, but no success. | 00:20 |
| GridCube | xubuntu359, in lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf you can add something like background=/lib/plymouth/themes/xubuntu-logo/xubuntu-greybird.png | 00:24 |
| xubuntu359 | GridCube yeah I've tried it | 00:24 |
| xubuntu359 | I've changed it to #000000 also, but no success. | 00:25 |
| xubuntu902 | Hello? | 05:26 |
| Unit193 | Howdy. | 05:27 |
| ElectricErger | Hiya | 05:27 |
| xubuntu902 | I have some Xubuntu questions, can anyone help? | 05:27 |
| Unit193 | Not without knowing what they are. | 05:28 |
| ElectricErger | I can try, depends on how technical. | 05:28 |
| ElectricErger | ^ | 05:28 |
| xubuntu902 | I keep getting a no space available when i attempt to update but I have a 500GB | 05:28 |
| Unit193 | How is it partitioned? | 05:29 |
| xubuntu902 | I think that's the issue. Here's what I'm looking at: | 05:29 |
| xubuntu902 | Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu-root 472200480 105171856 343035488 24% / none 4 0 4 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 4039956 4 4039952 1% /dev tmpfs 811176 904 810272 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 4055 | 05:30 |
| xubuntu902 | What's the other one? h... -l? | 05:30 |
| baizon | xubuntu902: please use http://paste.ubuntu.com for code | 05:31 |
| xubuntu902 | Okay Sorry | 05:31 |
| baizon | no problem | 05:31 |
| xubuntu902 | May I ask why? | 05:32 |
| Unit193 | Easier to read, doesn't spam the channel. | 05:32 |
| xubuntu902 | Roger | 05:32 |
| xubuntu902 | Okay, so what was that other code for the data, the one that shows my boot drive. That sucker is 93% full and I have no idea how to expand the partition | 05:33 |
| Unit193 | df -h which you found, or you can list them with `lsblk` or `fdisk -l` as root, though don't show usage. | 05:34 |
| xubuntu902 | Okay so how do I expand that partition | 05:35 |
| Unit193 | Boot into a live CD and use gparted. | 05:35 |
| Unit193 | !gparted | 05:35 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 05:35 |
| xubuntu902 | Okay, from what you said I need to reboot into a LiveCD, go to the terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install gparted" or I can rip a CD at that location you provided? | 05:39 |
| xubuntu902 | I just want to make sure I understand what you said. | 05:39 |
| xubuntu902 | Will restructuring this partion effect my data? | 05:41 |
| Unit193 | The Xubuntu LiveCD ships with gparted, if you still have it. | 05:42 |
| Unit193 | It can, good to backup. | 05:42 |
| xubuntu902 | Roger, thanks for the help! | 05:44 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 05:44 |
| xubuntu902 | This is one of, oh, 9,000 more reasons to switch from Windows and IOS. The Linux community rules. | 05:45 |
| ElectricErger | So is #xubuntu-offtopic the social channel for Xubuntu people? | 05:46 |
| Unit193 | ElectricErger: Yep. | 05:48 |
| ElectricErger | Cool thanks! | 05:48 |

| ElectricErger | So I run a computer refurbishing club at my school that recently switched to Xubuntu as our OS that we distribute. Is there any official collection of adverts that we could link to? | 06:45 |
| kj5t | The following might help http://xubuntu.org/marketingresources/ | 06:48 |
| ElectricErger | That's just about what I was looking for | 06:48 |
| ElectricErger | Thank ya kindly | 06:48 |
| kj5t | High School or College? Either way that is pretty cool -- both a great way for people to learn to Linux and to put older computers to good use. | 06:49 |
| ElectricErger | McGill University's Reboot McGill: http://reboot.mcgilleus.ca/ | 06:50 |
| benonsoftware | ElectricErger: Looks like a great project. | 07:05 |
| ElectricErger | Thanks. I want to get some kind of tutorial system for learning Linux running for the members (and community at large, but the school does an okay job at that) | 07:06 |
| Myrtti | Janeks991: please fix your quassel | 08:41 |
| xubuntu098 | Hello, which is the best version of Xubuntu? | 09:29 |
| Myrtti | "the latest" | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | no, seriously, what do you mean by best, by version, and what kind of gear were you planning to install it on, xubuntu098 ? | 09:32 |
| xubuntu098 | Xubuntu 13.04 or 12.04? | 09:33 |
| xubuntu098 | 12.04 is long term support? | 09:35 |
| Myrtti | oh ok then | 09:38 |
| Arpad2 | hi | 10:43 |

| Arpad2 | hii am still having low resolution of 640x480 on my Intel/Nvidia Optimus laptop, however I have found out that if I login as Guest, than I don't have this problem | 10:44 |
| baizon | Arpad2: then purge your configuration | 10:57 |
| Arpad2 | baizon: ok, how to purge a configuration? | 10:59 |
| baizon | Arpad2: http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely | 11:07 |
| baizon | Arpad2: or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 11:07 |
| Arpad2 | ok, thank you | 11:08 |
| Arpad2 | what is the xubuntu version for the 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' ? | 11:52 |
| elfy | the same | 11:52 |
| elfy | but xubuntu-desktop | 11:52 |
| Arpad2 | ok | 11:53 |
| Arpad2 | baizon: thank you for your help. it worked:)) | 12:04 |
| Arpad2 | in /etc/modules was no nouveau | 12:04 |
| Arpad2 | I guess that made some problems | 12:04 |
| baizon | no problem | 12:05 |
| Arpad2 | so , the nouveau is using only the integrated card , not the other one? | 12:06 |
| Dan_D | How do I use cd in the terminal to set the directory to myDesktop? | 12:17 |
| Arpad2 | cd /home/<username>/Desktop | 12:19 |
| Dan_D | Thanks | 12:19 |
| Myrtti | Arpad2: or in short cd ~/Desktop/ | 12:19 |
| Arpad2 | ok :) | 12:20 |
| Arpad2 | I don't know how to find that funny sign on the keyboard | 12:20 |
| Arpad2 | Myrtti: and what would happen if they were more than one Desktop folder? | 12:21 |
| Myrtti | huhwhat | 12:22 |
| Myrtti | ~ is a shortcut to /home/currentusername/ | 12:22 |
| Arpad2 | thank you :0 | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | also known as $HOME | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | interchangeable | 12:23 |
| xubuntu334 | what is the defaul password for root in xubuntu ? | 14:11 |
| baizon | there is none | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | !root|xubuntu334, | 14:11 |
| ubottu | xubuntu334,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:11 |
| Ludovik | For some reason I am not getting a GUI install with my VMWare workstation on Xubuntu, I CHMOD and then run sudo X.bin and but no luck. Anyone have any ideas? | 14:17 |
| vojta | ahoj | 16:14 |
| vojta | Hello | 16:14 |
| yeyeman | when I'm copying something from my android phone, all the folder and file names seems to be replaced by number?? | 18:52 |
| TheSheep | yeyeman: yeah, i also have that, but only when I copy whole directories | 18:56 |
| yeyeman | TheSheep, for me it's always, both directories and individual files | 18:57 |
| TheSheep | you can try using a different program to copy it | 18:58 |
| TheSheep | there was gmtp | 18:59 |
| num7 | Is xubuntu a good choose for a laptop like N210 plus ? | 19:02 |
| Cazzano | Hi | 19:32 |
| Cazzano | I have a question regarding the window manager or window theme thingy on xfce | 19:32 |
| TheSheep | !ask | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 19:33 |
| Cazzano | I changed the theme to black so it's easier at night etc...and so pretty much every program changes it colors too | 19:33 |
| Cazzano | but now I can't see the adresses I put into opera | 19:33 |
| TheSheep | Cazzano: looks like they hardcoded the font color in there -- report a bug to Opera | 19:34 |
| yeyeman | the dark theme does not fit well with many programs on xubuntu in my experience | 19:37 |
| yeyeman | for example, XChat irc client indicates channel activity with changing the channel name to red | 19:38 |
| yeyeman | which really burns my eyes on a dark gray background | 19:38 |
| well_laid_lawn | that one is configurable | 19:38 |
| Cazzano | TheSheep: And can I work the other way arround? The theme is telling opera to use a white color while opera keeps the white background in the adress list..so white on white:/ | 19:38 |
| TheSheep | Cazzano: yeah, whichever color they hardcoded | 19:39 |
| TheSheep | Cazzano: you can also try other dark themes, it's possible that the theme authors forgot to change some widget that opera uses | 19:40 |
| Cazzano | but there is no way to except opera of the theme? | 19:40 |
| Cazzano | hmm..and how/where can I get other themes? | 19:44 |
| TheSheep | !themes | 19:56 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes) | 19:56 |
| Cazzano | thanks ^_^ | 19:59 |
| cmb | Hi, I'm having some trouble. I'm having some crashes. When I try to install something via a package manager, I get this message: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 20:44 |
| cmb | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 20:44 |
| cmb | when I run that I get a crash, with a call trace | 20:45 |
| cmb | I took a picture of the Call Trace, I can upload it if anyone wants to see it. | 20:45 |
| cmb | any ideas would be great. I cannot install any packages | 20:49 |
