| bugbeast | usually when i want to share a folder i right click on it, select properties and there is a sharing tab. i just installed 13.04 on a new machine and there is no option to share. i have installed samba and system-config-samba. what am I missing? | 01:01 |
| bugbeast | i added a share in the samba GUI in launcher -> System -> Samba but I cant push files into the folder from a windows machine. i get a permission denied error. (shared the public folder in my home folder to anyone with read/write control) | 01:07 |

| HonestAbe | hello folks! | 02:55 |
| HonestAbe | I've got some trouble, I messaged the fine folks at #xfce, but it might be more of a xubuntu problem | 02:56 |
| HonestAbe | I've got two themes that seem to want to battle it out for control of my desktop | 02:56 |
| HonestAbe | one handles windows, and the other handles the panel | 02:56 |
| HonestAbe | any suggestions on how to fix this? Should I nuke my ~/.config folder? | 02:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | lol, never heard of a battle royal between a window manager theme and a panel theme | 02:57 |
| HonestAbe | It's quite exciting | 02:58 |
| Unit193 | One is "Appearance" and the other is in "Window Manager"? | 02:58 |
| HonestAbe | they're holding knives to eachother's digital throats /s | 02:58 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | what is it doing? | 02:58 |
| HonestAbe | Unit193: Bingo. | 02:58 |
| Unit193 | HonestAbe: My other option was see if Germany or Russia win. ;P | 02:58 |
| HonestAbe | hmmm | 02:59 |
| HonestAbe | that seems like the more entertaining of the two options | 02:59 |
| HonestAbe | but alas, this is absolutely infuriating | 02:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | what is the appearance theme and the wm theme? | 02:59 |
| HonestAbe | actually, it's ignoring the appearance theme | 02:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | and where are they clashing? | 03:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh | 03:00 |
| HonestAbe | well, the top border changes | 03:00 |
| HonestAbe | (not sure as to the precise terminology) | 03:00 |
| HonestAbe | but everything else remains windows 98 | 03:00 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the top border of the window? | 03:00 |
| HonestAbe | yes | 03:00 |
| HonestAbe | xfce4-panel also gives no fucks | 03:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ok, so it sounds like the wm theme isdoing it's job | 03:01 |
| HonestAbe | ok | 03:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | if the appearance theme isn't changing the panels, maybe the appearance theme isn't an appearance theme at all | 03:01 |
| HonestAbe | ok | 03:01 |
| HonestAbe | how do i destroy this appearance imposter? | 03:02 |
| HonestAbe | and will I need silvered weapons? | 03:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | a theme folder has to have other folders in it that are dedicated to changing the wm or the appearance | 03:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | theme folders with xfwm4 folders in it affect the wm | 03:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | appearance theme folders will have gtk2 or metacity theme folders | 03:03 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | some themes have both, to change both | 03:03 |
| HonestAbe | ok, none of them are working through the appearance picker | 03:03 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh.... that is odd | 03:03 |
| HonestAbe | and the panel, still giving no fucks | 03:04 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | is the panel set to use the appearance style, or are they set to custom? | 03:04 |
| HonestAbe | use system style | 03:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | right click on a panel, mouse over panel and click panel preferences | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | i just nuked my panel prefs | 03:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh, ok | 03:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | hmm... I never had this prob before. | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | i'm about to nuke my entire .config folder | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | and see if that does it | 03:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | was it always that way, or was it after an update? | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | not even after an update | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | just after a reboot one day | 03:05 |
| HonestAbe | maybe an update? I don't know. I'm a terrible person and I don't pay attention. | 03:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | if I didn't know better, I'd swear you needed to reinstall xfce-panel | 03:06 |
| HonestAbe | weeeeell | 03:06 |
| HonestAbe | it's not just eh panel, remember | 03:06 |
| HonestAbe | *the | 03:06 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | *xfce4-panel | 03:06 |
| HonestAbe | it's also everything theme based that isn't the top border | 03:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If the wm themes are working, then I would look into the panel component first | 03:07 |
| HonestAbe | hrmmm | 03:07 |
| HonestAbe | ok | 03:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | did you try other wm themes? | 03:07 |
| HonestAbe | i'll try it and report back | 03:07 |
| HonestAbe | every wm theme | 03:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | and they work? | 03:07 |
| HonestAbe | just the top border | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | nothing else is affected | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | no fonts | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | no buttons | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | that's all that they are for | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the window borders | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | and the top | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | really? | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | wow, color me ignorant | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | yup | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | thought they handled the menu bars as well | 03:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | so, diagnose the panel component | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | ok | 03:08 |
| HonestAbe | i shall reinstall that and report back | 03:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | k | 03:09 |
| HonestAbe | oh my | 03:12 |
| HonestAbe | it's so angry | 03:13 |
| HonestAbe | it's come back from the abyss stronger than ever. | 03:13 |
| HonestAbe | that is to say, the panel remains unfazed | 03:13 |
| HonestAbe | and unchanged | 03:13 |
| HonestAbe | i'm going to try nuking .configg | 03:13 |
| HonestAbe | *.config | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | hmmm | 03:14 |
| HonestAbe | and see what happens | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ok | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | wait | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the folder? | 03:14 |
| HonestAbe | yes | 03:14 |
| HonestAbe | brb | 03:14 |
| HonestAbe | *be right back. | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | but, doesn't it have other config files for other things? | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | hmmm oh well | 03:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | any luck? | 03:19 |
| HonestAbe | no | 03:19 |
| HonestAbe | but something similar has happened before | 03:19 |
| HonestAbe | and this fixed it | 03:19 |
| HonestAbe | but it had to restart a second time(i'm not sure why) | 03:20 |
| HonestAbe | so, I'll restart again, but to answer your question earlier | 03:20 |
| HonestAbe | yes, there is other stuff there, but nothing of value | 03:20 |
| HonestAbe | to me at least. | 03:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | k | 03:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I wish I could be more helpful. I never had that problem before | 03:22 |
| HonestAbe | it's totally fine | 03:22 |
| HonestAbe | it's a bizarre problem. | 03:22 |
| HonestAbe | this time though, the theme changed on restart | 03:22 |
| HonestAbe | so, no more windows 98 | 03:22 |
| HonestAbe | but it still doesn't change within the menu | 03:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | hmmm | 03:23 |
| HonestAbe | restarting | 03:23 |
| HonestAbe | but ponder that | 03:23 |
| HonestAbe | deeply. | 03:23 |
| HonestAbe | had any epiphanies? | 03:28 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | no :( | 03:28 |
| HonestAbe | dang. | 03:28 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | what version of xubuntu are you using? | 03:28 |
| HonestAbe | 12.10 apparently | 03:29 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | hmm | 03:29 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | could be a good excuse to back up your data and do a clean install of 13.04 | 03:30 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | :) | 03:30 |
| HonestAbe | arrrrgh | 03:30 |
| HonestAbe | it totally could be | 03:30 |
| HonestAbe | but that is the last thing i want to do tonight | 03:30 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | because it's either software related, or your filesystem took a dump | 03:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | either way, a fresh something is in order. | 03:31 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | then do it tommorow | 03:31 |
| HonestAbe | I'm going away for the weekend | 03:32 |
| HonestAbe | i have to do it on monday or tuesday | 03:32 |
| HonestAbe | probably tuesday | 03:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ah. :( | 03:32 |
| happyjoy | id say use 12.04.3 | 03:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Whatever you decide yo use, I wish you luck with it. | 03:32 |
| HonestAbe | totally not looking forward to that | 03:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | think of it as a good reason to unplug for a bit | 03:33 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | we all need to unplug now and then | 03:33 |
| HonestAbe | it's not the unplugging | 03:33 |
| HonestAbe | it's the drivers | 03:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | broadcom wifi? | 03:34 |
| HonestAbe | nvidia card | 03:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | meh... jockey can handle the driver aspect. | 03:34 |
| HonestAbe | ethernet connection for the win | 03:34 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | oh... the wifi is nvidia? | 03:34 |
| HonestAbe | err | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | no | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | graphics card is | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | i don't even use wifi is what i was saying | 03:35 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | ah, ok. Was about to give you that puzzled look | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | yeah | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | that would have been bizarre | 03:35 |
| happyjoy | it has been done | 03:35 |
| HonestAbe | more bizarre than any problems i'd have had tonight | 03:35 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | so, this is a desktop on an ethernet connection? | 03:36 |
| HonestAbe | yes | 03:36 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | well, if the video drivers are the hardest part, I'd say you're golden. Unless you have an interesting gpu | 03:36 |
| HonestAbe | nah | 03:36 |
| HonestAbe | nothing that interesting | 03:36 |
| HonestAbe | i should probably switch to a distro with eyecandy | 03:37 |
| HonestAbe | but goddamnit, i like xubuntu | 03:37 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | lol | 03:37 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I could have a modern quad core with any gtx model nvidia, and I would still use xfce | 03:37 |
| HonestAbe | ^ | 03:37 |
| HonestAbe | that's what I have | 03:37 |
| Viva_Caligula | I think eye candy looks plain ugly. | 03:38 |
| HonestAbe | also ^ | 03:38 |
| HonestAbe | simplicity is beauty | 03:38 |
| Viva_Caligula | I like simple clean stuff, and square corners | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | closest thing I have to eyecandy is xfce with plank. | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | and a nice theme | 03:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | preferably dark | 03:39 |
| HonestAbe | hmm, if i'm going to do a clean install | 03:39 |
| HonestAbe | anyone know of any modern/updated equivalents to gnomedo? | 03:39 |
| HonestAbe | might do away with panels completely | 03:39 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | anything with just openbox. lol | 03:40 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | if your savvy with conky, you could eliminate panels that way | 03:42 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | then just have a right click menu | 03:42 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | maybe a dock | 03:42 |
| HonestAbe | have to seen gnomedo? | 03:42 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | never heard of it | 03:43 |
| HonestAbe | it was awesome | 03:43 |
| HonestAbe | last updated in 2009 though | 03:43 |
| HonestAbe | super+<space> brought up a box with which you could go to directories/programs/wherever the imagination fancied | 03:44 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | updated 2012 | 03:44 |
| HonestAbe | heeey, their homepage lies | 03:44 |
| HonestAbe | http://do.cooperteam.net/ | 03:45 |
| HonestAbe | oh, project news. Wow, I'm retarded. | 03:45 |
| HonestAbe | offhand, how do you make a function in bash? | 03:49 |
| HonestAbe | *define a function | 03:49 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I dunno | 03:50 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | not that savvy | 03:50 |
| Viva_Caligula | 31 turns down... | 04:25 |
| Viva_Caligula | *pause for soldering iron to heat up* | 04:25 |
| Viva_Caligula | wrong channel, whoops | 04:27 |
| excalibr | xfce4 users, what does your xfce4-terminal report $COLORTERM as? | 07:48 |

| vdonnefort | Hi all! | 07:55 |
| vdonnefort | I've just installed xubuntu 13.04 | 07:55 |
| vdonnefort | and I can't find msmtp | 07:55 |
| vdonnefort | do you know wht? | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | !info msmtp | 07:56 |
| ubottu | msmtp (source: msmtp): light SMTP client with support for server profiles. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.30-1 (raring), package size 112 kB, installed size 292 kB | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | !info msmtp-gnome | 07:56 |
| ubottu | msmtp-gnome (source: msmtp): light SMTP client with support for server profiles - with GNOME keyring support. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4.30-1 (raring), package size 45 kB, installed size 137 kB | 07:56 |
| cfhowlett | vdonnefort, in other words you have to manually install it | 07:56 |
| Unit193 | excalibr: xfce4-terminal | 07:56 |
| vdonnefort | cfhowlett: though I have standard repo into sources.list? Why It doesn't appear? | 07:59 |
| cfhowlett | mtmtp is a gnome app and xubuntu is XFCE so ... | 07:59 |
| cfhowlett | or is it? | 08:00 |
| cfhowlett | maybe I misspoke | 08:00 |
| cfhowlett | anyway, easy enough to install: sudo apt-get install msmtp* | 08:00 |
| excalibr | Unit193: thank you! | 08:01 |
| vdonnefort | cfhowlett: that's my problem: "apt-cache search msmtp: nothin!" :) | 08:01 |
| Unit193 | Might want to drop that asterisk.. | 08:01 |
| Unit193 | vdonnefort: It's in universe. | 08:01 |
| cfhowlett | vdonnefort, so you must enable the universe repository | 08:02 |
| Unit193 | Have you updated sources recently? | 08:02 |
| vdonnefort | ooooh thanks, I have to add universe repo | 08:02 |
| vdonnefort | Unit193: yes just before trying apt-cache search | 08:02 |
| Unit193 | Thought universe was default, not sure about multiverse. | 08:05 |
| vdonnefort | do you know why this repo has been removed into xubuntu? Thank you for your help! Unit193 & cfhowlett | 08:06 |
| Unit193 | !universe | 08:07 |

| User66 | Hello everybody, I do wonder if the AMD Drivers (using Xubuntu 13.04 and gonna install AMD Drivers 13.4), are they the same as regular Ubuntu? | 08:30 |
| baizon | User66: yes they are | 08:30 |
| baizon | janeks991: stop it pls | 08:31 |
| User66 | baizon: Thanks, I do wonder somehing more due... When I "sucessfully" installed previously I got to the login (when rebooted) but I could not log in | 08:31 |
| User66 | Is that normal? | 08:31 |

| jglauche | hey, after upgrading to 13.04 I'm unable to set keyboard shortcuts in xfce4-terminal | 09:40 |
| jglauche | like. I do want to have crtl+c and crtl+shift+c functionality swapped | 09:41 |
| Nein9999 | I'm the only have problem installing Steam (sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb) | 09:47 |
| Nein9999 | Error: dpkg: error processing steam-launcher (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 09:47 |
| Nein9999 | Fixed :=) | 09:49 |
| Nein9999 | All thourgh, I have gotten a black screen while trying to install AMD Drivers (13.4) second time, can't do anything and I need to format | 09:50 |
| Nein9999 | I can fill upp information if somebody would answear... | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett | !patience|Nein9999 | 09:51 |
| ubottu | Nein9999: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:51 |
| Nein9999 | ubottu: Thanks I will search more (thanks for links), all due it's VERY hard to do anything when you can't even installl GPU drivers... | 09:52 |
| ubottu | Nein9999: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:52 |
| Nein9999 | and I got owend... | 09:53 |
| Nein9999 | Well played | 09:53 |
| knome | jglauche, open the menu, hover over the menu item you want to change the shortcut for and press the new shortcut key | 09:59 |
| knome | jglauche, if that doesn't work, go go settings manager -> appearance -> settings and check 'enable editable accelerators', then try again | 10:00 |
| jglauche | knome: I don't want to set a menu item, I want to edit my shortcuts inside the terminal window | 10:13 |
| jglauche | knome: like ctrl+c should copy, ctrl+v should paste (instead crtl+shift+key) | 10:14 |
| jglauche | knome: this menu doesn't exist anymore, apparently.. | 10:14 |
| knome | jglauche, please read again what i said | 10:19 |
| knome | jglauche, go to the edit menu, hover over "copy" and press ctrl+C | 10:19 |
| knome | jglauche, that's the standard GTK+ way of editing shortcuts | 10:20 |
| jglauche | oh. | 10:20 |
| jglauche | yeah, that works well if the menu item is not set to disabled | 10:20 |
| knome | well select some text... but you're correct, that's probably a bug. | 10:21 |
| jglauche | did figure that out.. | 10:21 |
| knome | jglauche, you could check if one exists, and if not, file one | 10:21 |
| jglauche | so, ~$ ^C | 10:22 |
| jglauche | err | 10:22 |
| jglauche | I wonder how I can stop it from issuing a SIGINT when doign ctrl+c and not having a text selected | 10:22 |
| knome | for that, you might need to do some xmodmap modifications | 10:24 |
| xubuntu718 | Hello, when I do sudo apt-get update and after upgrade I get three package how need to be updated, how do I download them? | 12:15 |
| xubuntu718 | "The following packages have been kept back: linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic" | 12:15 |
| bgardner | xubuntu718: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:15 |
| xubuntu718 | bgardiner: You are right Sir :D | 12:15 |
| RJ45 | I left my computer on all night last night again, and the same thing happened again; came back to black screen of total unresponsiveness | 13:15 |
| RJ45 | seriously, what's going on? | 13:15 |
| RJ45 | I can't for the life of me figure-out what's wrong!, I've checked all the settings and they appear to be pretty safe | 13:15 |
| RJ45 | I REALLY can't have this happening every night! 0_0 | 13:16 |
| RJ45 | it appears as-if my problem might be like this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/882251 | 13:16 |
| RJ45 | except I'm using Xubuntu 12.04.3, and it's happening in 'blank screen only mode', not 'random'. | 13:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 882251 in xscreensaver (Ubuntu) "Xubuntu default screen saver: random - permanently blanks screen" [Undecided,New] | 13:16 |
| RJ45 | also, this problem only seems to occur at night, when I leave it during the day, I come back and it's okay | 13:16 |
| jglauche | RJ45: can you remotely log into the computer if that happens? | 13:37 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: IDK.. I doubt is, it's completely unresponsive by keyboard not even '[CTRL] + [ALT] + [F1/2/3...]', I could try installing SSH to try when it happens again | 13:39 |
| dr0p | hi, what's the gtk theme used by default in 13.10 ? | 13:39 |
| jglauche | RJ45: please do | 13:40 |
| bgardner | RJ45: Have you tried the magic SysReq keystrokes? | 13:41 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: I'd set0up VNC too if it wasn't too buggy to keep running on Xubuntu :-/ | 13:41 |
| RJ45 | set-up* | 13:41 |
| jglauche | buggy? | 13:41 |
| jglauche | install x11vnc and you'll have a session of your current desktop | 13:41 |
| RJ45 | yeah, just randomly closes after a while of being launched from shell, and the applications menu icon shows-up a GUI that doesn't work, has settings that do nothing x_x | 13:42 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: lol, that's the one that's all screwy! XD | 13:43 |
| jglauche | really? | 13:43 |
| RJ45 | yup | 13:43 |
| jglauche | what happens? | 13:43 |
| RJ45 | look up o.o | 13:43 |
| RJ45 | <RJ45> yeah, just randomly closes after a while of being launched from shell, and the applications menu icon shows-up a GUI that doesn't work, has settings that do nothing x_x | 13:43 |
| jglauche | uh | 13:44 |
| RJ45 | when I launch from command line, it does work, I have a nice VNC server ..for about 3 minutes :-/ | 13:45 |
| * jglauche is terrible at assimilating information today | 13:45 | |
| jglauche | how does it crash? segfault? | 13:45 |
| RJ45 | IDK... | 13:45 |
| RJ45 | I could try now I guess | 13:45 |
| jglauche | it should output *something* on the command line | 13:46 |
| sheldoraaaa | yo | 13:48 |
| bgardner | sheldoraaaa: Hello | 13:48 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: yeah jus' tried, didn't work for long, it just froze-up on client side (client is usually fine with other servers), when it froze-up there was nothing unusual logged-out, and when I clicked disconnect on client side, the server exited. | 13:49 |
| sheldoraaaa | hey anyone kno if is there any hardware identify software ? | 13:49 |
| jglauche | RJ45: what you could try is having the server run over the night, but do not connect with a client. then if it freezes, try to connect and see if it's still there | 13:50 |
| jglauche | also ssh into it while you do just to be sure | 13:50 |
| bgardner | RJ45: Or try this next time you find it locked up: http://fosswire.com/post/2007/09/fix-a-frozen-system-with-the-magic-sysrq-keys/ | 13:50 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: wanna see the output?, I can paste-bin it | 13:51 |
| jglauche | RJ45: not sure if it's useful if the client freezes | 13:51 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: http://pastebin.com/nTf6qZdq | 13:55 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: logged-into Pastebin, and created baste, just for you :3 | 13:56 |
| jglauche | RJ45: nothing unusual, seems like the client is the problem | 14:02 |
| RJ45 | jglauche: nope, client is fine, never had a problem with Vino server on Ubuntu, and any other VNC, and I've used VNC with a-lot of stuff, including a Raspberry PI running Raspbian, and an android smartphone :D so safe to say, the client has been put through its paces. | 14:04 |
| RJ45 | client is 'Vinagre' | 14:05 |
| jglauche | never tried | 14:05 |
| jglauche | I'm using xvncviewer | 14:05 |
| RJ45 | anyways I gotta get-up and go somewhere now :-/ | 14:05 |
| RJ45 | c'ya | 14:05 |
| jglauche | report back tomrrow if the computer crashed or your screen.. | 14:06 |
| RJ45 | yeah yeah, and I should have at-least SSH running smoothly by then, so I can try that thing :) | 14:06 |
| cson | theadmin: thanks for the push. xubuntu has freed up my cores. | 14:25 |
| cson | I can even watch vlc full screen now. | 14:25 |
| Josh______ | hohoho | 14:35 |
| bgardner | Josh______: Couple months too early. | 14:36 |
| Josh______ | Wouldn't think it with the weather here, freezing cold, frost in the mornings, raining every day... Perfect excuse for me :) | 14:37 |
| Josh______ | Might be looking for some advice in the next few minutes, trying to get Xubuntu set up on a server, since the Ubuntu Server kernel kept crashing | 14:37 |
| TheSheep | Josh______: they both use the same kernel | 14:39 |
| Josh______ | They do, but there is something about the installer causing the kernel to crash | 14:42 |
| Josh______ | I'm not to most advanced kernel / bios / linux user in the world. In fact, I've barely touched on it, but the company is bringing in some servers so I'm hoping I can acquire the knowledge I need as I go along | 14:43 |
| Jonatan1 | Hi | 15:01 |
| Jonatan1 | I need some help installing drivers | 15:01 |
| Josh______ | Anyone know something similar to ethtool which is installed by default on xubuntu? | 15:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | why not just install ethtool? | 15:25 |
| rawrmonster | does gcc come with xubuntu by default? (from the install disk) | 15:52 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I think so. | 15:55 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | how else are you going to compile | 15:56 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | actually, that's silly. There are a number of compilers. | 15:56 |
| rawrmonster | I didn't know because it was a binary distro. I was thinking that they might try and save space on the disk. | 15:57 |
| genii | Since it's a dependency of build-essential I imagine it's on the disc | 15:57 |
| rawrmonster | I know i have it on my work machine but it is connected to the internet where my home machine does not have internet atm. | 15:58 |
| rawrmonster | But thank so you much for your guys help :D | 15:59 |
| kRush | is there an extra channel for saucy? | 16:14 |
| Pici | #ubuntu+1 | 16:14 |
| xubuntuuser | Hola Hi | 16:15 |
| kRush | so nothing xubuntu specific? | 16:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | not that I know of. | 16:16 |
| kRush | kk, thx | 16:16 |
| genii | kRush: #ubuntu+1 is a catch-all for all the distributions... Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc, so long as they are on Saucy | 16:27 |

| nicklas_ | hello, never done an upgrade before, but thought id try when 13.10 is available. what is the differences from reinstalling instead, what changes and what doesnt change? | 18:55 |
| nicklas_ | like this from the beta announcement: "66A tool for changing your theme colors easily, gtk-theme-config, has been added to the default installation" . will that get installed when upgrading, and the new version of everything with all improvements/preinstalled apps/functions in new version? | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | It'll get pulled in with xubuntu-desktop, aye. | 19:04 |
| nicklas_ | also, can stuff ive installed get removed? and reposes removed? | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | It'd only get removed if it conflicted or was dropped out of the repos, doesn't normally remove much/anything. Repos in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ get commented out, but easy enough to re-enable. | 19:07 |
| Unit193 | Depending on how you upgrade, it'll show you everything it's updating, installing, or removing. | 19:07 |
| xubuntu362 | can somebody help me some of my hardware is too new for the kernel so i can't operate xubuntu is there any solution? | 19:32 |
| xubuntu362 | the problems are that the graphical card and the wireless network card don't work like it should be. | 19:33 |
| baizon | xubuntu362: what hardware, and which version of xubuntu? | 19:37 |
| xubuntu362 | the latest version | 19:42 |
| xubuntu362 | graphic card and wireless network card | 19:42 |
| baizon | xubuntu362: which hardware vendor? | 19:43 |
| baizon | we need more details | 19:43 |
| xubuntu362 | the older versions 12 are running fine except the wireless card but they run the others don't | 19:44 |
| xubuntu362 | wireless ac 7260 intel | 19:44 |
| xubuntu362 | and nvidea graphic card | 19:44 |
| baizon | xubuntu362: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 19:45 |
| xubuntu362 | yeah but the installer won't drive either | 19:45 |
| baizon | xubuntu362: http://askubuntu.com/questions/322511/no-wireless-with-intel-centrino-advanced-n-7260 | 19:46 |
| xubuntu362 | when I want to install the newest version ( kernel ) the only thing I get is a black screen | 19:47 |
| xubuntu362 | after choosing start xubuntu | 19:47 |
| dunpeal | Hi. Is there a way to remove window decoration for any window? | 20:24 |
| dunpeal | (The title bar, basically.) | 20:24 |
| genii | !info maximus | 20:26 |
| ubottu | maximus (source: maximus): Automaximizing window management tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.14-3 (raring), package size 19 kB, installed size 97 kB | 20:26 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: all windows, or a specific one? | 20:27 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: a specific one. | 20:27 |
| Azelphur | devilspie then, maximus does all windows afaik | 20:27 |
| Azelphur | there's a frontend, gdevilspie, that's probably what you'll want to install | 20:27 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: no way to just do it manually for one window? | 20:27 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: oh, just as a one off? | 20:28 |
| dunpeal | devilspie is a persistent service | 20:28 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: yeah, pretty much :) | 20:28 |
| Azelphur | devilspie is like rules, eg if I open XBMC, it takes the title bar off, that's what I use it for | 20:28 |
| Azelphur | ah, I think wmctrl can do it one off | 20:28 |
| dunpeal | cool, thanks. | 20:28 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: it has a toggle fullscreen, but not a toggle decorated it seems | 20:28 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: do you know if there's any tool that can customize the display icon of a process? | 20:30 |
| dunpeal | The icon displayed in the alt-tab application switcher? | 20:30 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: that I doubt, that's set inside the application. | 20:30 |
| dunpeal | KDE/Qt can sometimes override it | 20:30 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: I could probably make you a little python to do the decorations thing, if you wanted though | 20:30 |
| dunpeal | but I understand :) | 20:30 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: thanks, but don't trouble yourself, I can do it myself. you were going to use wcnk? | 20:31 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: indeed. | 20:31 |
| dunpeal | wnck* | 20:31 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: do you have any idea if it's possible to maximize a window across more than one monitor? | 20:31 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: absolutely, I do it all the time | 20:32 |
| Azelphur | I play WoW dual screen xD | 20:32 |
| Azelphur | I do it with devilspie just by setting the window size to the size of both of my monitors | 20:32 |
| Azelphur | and the location to 0,0 | 20:32 |
| dunpeal | cool. btw, looks like devilspie was abandoned, so are you using devilspie 2? | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | nope, I'm just using standard gdevilspie, it's still in the repos and works fine | 20:33 |
| Azelphur | didn't know there was a devilspie 2 :) | 20:33 |
| dunpeal | https://wiki.gnome.org/DevilsPie | 20:34 |
| dunpeal | Note that Devil's Pie isn't really maintained - you may be more interested in the successor project Devil's Pie 2. | 20:34 |
| Azelphur | cool :) | 20:34 |
| dunpeal | thanks a lot, you've been very helpful | 20:35 |
| Azelphur | np | 20:35 |
| dunpeal | I had a few other questions, not sure if I'm going overboard, but I'm an XFCE newbie | 20:35 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: might wanna check out xdotool too, that has some related stuff that may be interested | 20:35 |
| dunpeal | for example, xfconf-query queries some kind of a database, but where is that database located? | 20:36 |
| dunpeal | e.g. when I use "$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --create" | 20:36 |
| dunpeal | where on the disk is the new entry added? | 20:36 |
| Azelphur | dunpeal: ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf | 20:36 |
| Azelphur | I think | 20:36 |
| dunpeal | Azelphur: yup, it's in XML files there! thanks again. | 20:37 |
| Azelphur | yw :) | 20:37 |
