[00:22] i would like to block certain users from using certain applications but not edit the menus, how can i do this? xchat for example. [00:44] gdos: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27456/block-access-to-specific-applications seems relevant.. the last one should work [01:34] but the problem is, holstein, is that root is owner to these programs, say xchat for example. [01:34] would i want to create a group called 'chat' and allow only members of that group (not group 'root' as it is now) to access that program ? [01:36] gdos: what i would do is just remove it from the menu.. i havent ever needed to do anything else [01:36] gdos: you should be able to make the permission of starting the application not possible for the user [01:37] gdos: there were some apps that were doing that, and im not sure where they are right now [01:37] where would i remove it from the default menu? i mean, where is the default menu located? [01:39] more options http://askubuntu.com/questions/28619/how-do-i-install-an-application-by-deb-file-for-a-single-user-only [01:39] gdos: i think this work for xubuntu menu editing http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu [01:40] OK. Thanks. (i thought xubuntu differed slightly from 'official' xfce?) [01:43] Also can use alacarte or menulibre.

[02:21] I just updated 2 to saucy, only a little left. ;) [02:22] Is that what will become 13.11? [02:22] !saucy|ball, [02:22] ball,: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. Release date will be 17th October 2013. [02:23] Thanks. [02:23] I wasn't far off. [02:23] Yep, close. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:40] I tried Ubuntu this evening but it seemed sort of broken. [02:41] Perhaps I didn't give it a fair go but I disliked it enough to take the time to reinstall Xubuntu, so that says something. [02:41] * `Fibz` points ball to #xubuntu-offtopic [02:42] * ball shrugs [02:42] <`Fibz`> i don't run 13.10 for the stability [02:42] * cfhowlett ... thinks "Obviously." [02:45] `Fibz`: Do you run 13.04 instead? [02:46] <`Fibz`> i run 12.04.3 when the machine needs to be reliable. 13.10 (or whatever is latest) on my laptop [02:50] I can't wait for Ubuntu 13.10 release. Finally, I will install Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus but I'm not sure if it will work with xfce. === anc is now known as Guest25984 [02:51] <`Fibz`> xfce is not really appropriate for touch interfaces or TVs (in my opinion) [02:51] !touch|amu, [02:51] amu,: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [02:51] thanks [02:54] Do we know how different 13.10 will be from 13.04, from a user's perspective? [02:56] ball #ubuntu+1 for saucy discussion [02:56] :P) [02:56] <`Fibz`> each version is in it's own stage of broken. XD [02:56] Oh. [03:02] I like 13.04, for whatever that's worth. [03:04] Alright. Time to press some clothes for work tomorrow. [03:04] Goodnight all. [04:28] Hi everyone I have a quick question and i was wondering if anyone could help me [04:29] It has to do with the installation of xubuntu from a flash drive [04:29] we'll be left wondering if you don't actually ask the question [04:30] since we aren't telepaths [04:31] !details|xubuntu549, [04:31] xubuntu549,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:31] <`Fibz`> :) [04:31] Sorry if this comes off as a stupid question. When installing xubuntu from a flash drive, is all I have to do is put the .iso file on the flash drive and boot it from the flash drive? I read articles about having to burn the iso file onto my flash drive and I'm not sure what that meant. [04:32] <`Fibz`> use Linux Live USB Creator in Windows or unetbootin if your on linux to create a bootable USB drive to install xubuntu [04:33] <`Fibz`> http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ or in linux app ("start") menu -> terminal emulator -> type: sudo apt-get install unetbootin [04:33] xubuntu549, not a stupid question at all. you need to get that ISO onto the USB in a bootable format. unetbootin and Linux Live USB creator will do that. [04:34] Also, does even the newest xubuntu versions work on slower computers or do I have to downloaded older version of xubuntu. I know this question is very vague, as I do not know the exact specs of the computer i am trying to revive using xubuntu. I do know that it is old, probably made in 2006 with all default hardwares and processors. [04:34] I really appreciate the help guys. I'm trying to teach myself more about linux and I'm very new to all of this. Thanks [04:36] <`Fibz`> 12.04.3 is long term stable release supported through 2017. 13.xx has more updated apps than 12 but will not be supported as long [04:36] <`Fibz`> support for 13.04 ends in january, 13.10 support ends in march [04:38] xubuntu549, recommend you install 12.04 xubuntu or lubuntu. both are optimized for older/lower spec machines [04:39] <`Fibz`> ^ [04:39] <`Fibz`> awww [04:48] Hi everyone! Rookie to all things linux so excuse me if I sounded incredibly inexperienced. I was looking to revive an old cpu of mine. I don't remember much about the specs but I do remeber that it has about 2GB of ram. Is this enough to run the last version of xubuntu, 13.04 Roaring Ringtail? [04:48] <`Fibz`> yes [04:48] Or will it be slow and laggy. Suggestions on what version of xubuntu I should run. I do know that xubuntu is made for older computers [04:48] <`Fibz`> thats enough RAM [04:49] ryan_, yes but [04:49] ryan_, lubuntu or xubuntu are optimized for older/lower spec machines. [04:50] Right. Whats the minimum RAM i could get away with to run xbuntu? [04:50] <`Fibz`> 640 [04:50] <`Fibz`> MB [04:50] <`Fibz`> it'll run on 512, but it'll be swapping the whole time (causing it to lag) [04:51] <`Fibz`> xubuntu idles @ 384MB [04:51] Also, can somebody explain persistence to me? I'm currently using linux live usb key and the max persistence i can use with my 1 GB flash drive is 40MB. What should I make my persistence? [04:51] !persistence [04:51] To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [04:52] <`Fibz`> you dont need persisyence. persistnce is if you want to install programs onto the USB drive (you dont, you just want to use the drive to install xubuntu) [04:53] I really appreciate the help you guys have given me today. Thank you and I hope to see you guys in this chat another time. [04:53] <`Fibz`> i use persistence because i keep a xubuntu thumbdrive on my keychain for fixing broken computers. but if you just want to install xubuntu, there is no need for a persistence file or partition [04:53] Got it! Thanks! [06:26] hello, I'm using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS and sometimes after login to desktop the trash icon dissappear, I have to manually change it in Preferences -> Desktop [06:33] Hi all [06:33] I can't get my wireless to work, it says it requires firmware [06:33] <`Fibz`> go into a terminal and type lspci [06:34] <`Fibz`> what kind of network controller is it? [06:34] 'Fibz' Broadcom [06:34] <`Fibz`> b43? [06:35] <`Fibz`> does the machine have internet acces right now? [06:36] <`Fibz`> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:36] !b43 [06:36] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:37] 'Fibz' it does, not sure if it works but it does [06:39] Not sure what I should be doing here [06:45] Apparently it works out of the box, it doesn't [06:45] <`Fibz`> not the b43 [06:46] <`Fibz`> very common card, known to be a problem child (in both windows and linux) [06:46] Not sure what it is came with my Inspiron 1521 [06:47] <`Fibz`> that lspci command lists what you have [06:47] <`Fibz`> lsusb if its USB wifi [06:48] I have all the drivers just can't get the service to start after the build [06:53] Which is annoying [06:59] Katsuma_: are you loading the module? [06:59] <`Fibz`> did you installed the proprietary sta driver and the opensource driver? you only need one [07:00] <`Fibz`> if you follow that guide, your wifi will work [07:01] The module I can figure out how to load, I got it loaded then after a reboot it unloaded [07:02] *can't [07:03] you should add an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf [07:04] Access is denied [07:05] you need sudo/gksudo to edit system files [07:05] !gksudo [07:05] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:56] hi I got a question, I install xubuntu on a 4GB drive, but when I df I only got 1.5GB [07:56] why I cant get the full size of my drive? [07:58] anyone here? [08:02] anyone [08:20] JZA: try df -h [08:27] well_laid_lawn: here it is http://put.io/v2/files/124762555/stream?token=ed0ec67499b411e2875700237d9c6b49 [08:27] well_laid_lawn: oops wrong link [08:27] http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3209894 [08:30] it's a qcow file? they expand as necessary [08:30] using qemu or ? [08:30] well I get a lot of out of space notice. [08:30] I am on a liveUSB [08:31] with 4GB of space [08:33] anybody know why my xubuntu 13.04 not see nvidia driver?! i try all sugestion on ubuntu website and i reinstall 6 times xubuntu,i have asus laptop,help me please [08:33] JZA: unless there is something else on the usb I dunno [08:34] http://imagebin.org/272991 [08:34] you can see the gparted empty space [08:35] so all the partition is used up... you can resize it in gparted [08:35] JZA: did you actually install to the usb with persistence - if it's just a live image then that looks right to me [08:36] well_laid_lawn: you can see gparted showing the 2GB further [08:37] elfy: I see, so I need to resize [08:37] !persistence [08:37] To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [08:37] JZA: if all you've done is got the image on the usb - that is not the same as an install [08:42] elfy: so if I release the persistancy the size will auto-resize? [08:44] not what I'm saying - you've said 2 things that are contradictory " I install xubuntu on a 4GB drive" " I am on a liveUSB" [08:47] HELLO! [08:48] anybody know why my xubuntu 13.04 not see nvidia driver?! i try all sugestion on ubuntu website and i reinstall 6 times xubuntu,i have asus laptop,help me please [08:48] elfy: ok I am using a 4GB liveCD but can only access 1.5G of it [08:49] elfy: how can I access the rest of the memory [08:51] the point is, with a live cd you should not need to acces for disk space [08:51] what are you trying to do? [08:52] well_laid_lawn: apparently I do need to [08:52] s/for/more/ [08:52] did you md5 the iso? [08:52] !md5 [08:52] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [08:54] well_laid_lawn: was that meant for me? [08:55] JZA: what exactly is it you are trying to do? install to the usb and have the whole space available? [08:56] if so you need to actually install TO the usb I believe [08:56] elfy: is there a way to just access it from a running instance? [09:01] apparently you have problems doing that - I've never done so myself, if I was going to do so I'd look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence#Setting_Up_Your_USB_Stick [09:27] i need little help with nvidia ,ii have an Asus laptop and i try anything ,is not working ,can you help me please? [09:30] xubuntu290: which nvidia card ? [09:32] in xubuntu 13.04 ,i dont know the video card name,how can i see the card? [09:33] in a terminal do lspci | grep -i vga [09:33] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10) [09:34] it's a sis card not nvidia [09:34] which explains why the nvidia install kept failing [09:34] !sis [09:35] and how i install this card [09:36] it should have been recognised automagically [09:36] you can check the log at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [11:50] hi guys, any quick tip how to add "more detailed view" to nautilus or thunar @xubuntu 13.04? [11:50] I looked few tutorials for nautilus, but it just didn't worked [11:51] what is meant by "more detailed view"? [11:51] i need to see resolution of photos [11:51] just that [11:51] from file manager [11:55] thunar does not support that, nautilus has "nautilus-columns"-ppa [11:57] yes, I figured out, but the script for nautilus doesn't work and I saw that many people have this issue in newer versions of ubuntu/xubuntu [11:59] lampelina: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147706 [12:01] saw this, but haven't seen the fix [12:01] thanx [12:09] ok, now I get some extra list options, but after that nautilus is chrashing [12:13] sorry for my bad english, i am from greece. I have Linux Xubuntu 13.04 and i want to see my system informations for example, what prossecor or ram or HDD or graphic card i have. So how i can see them? [12:13] !sensors [12:13] To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package.

[12:14] xubuntu041: open a terminal, type in "sudo lshw", enter your password, enjoy [12:16] thanks a lot have a nice day [13:56] I just hooked up a new monitor, with DVI connection instead of the old VGA monitor, and now Xubuntu shows black screen.. How do I fix this? (fglrx) [15:11] Is it possible to adjust contrast on xubuntu? [15:18] i don't know, but i do know that you can always run xgamma [15:43] gridcube: thanks.. I was hoping I wouldn't have to use xgamma since it's deprecated. [15:43] cson, :( [15:43] yes i understand [15:44] can anyone please tell me where is java installed if installed via webupd8 ppa? [15:45] c2tarun, type, whereis java [15:46] GridCube, actually I am looking for jdk folder with java source jars so that I can attach them to eclipse [15:46] c2tarun, have you typed whereis?

[15:47] GridCube, nope these are executables [15:48] GridCube, in share its folder but no jdk. http://paste.ubuntu.com/6205468/ [15:49] locate *jdk* [15:52] GridCube, found it : /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/src.zip [15:52] thanks a lot :) [16:08] I just hooked up a new monitor, with DVI connection instead of the old VGA monitor, and now Xubuntu shows black screen.. How do I fix this? (fglrx) [16:09] RemuN, can you access you computer someway? [16:10] My debian boot works fine, thats what Im on now [16:10] RemuN, if you can access the /etc/X11 directory of your xubuntu install, try renaming the xorg.conf file and rebooting [16:11] the xorg server should auto configure to the available output [16:11] renaming? you mean add .backup or something? Or changing its contents? [16:12] the file name yes, like xorg.conf.old or something like that [16:12] ok ill try that [16:17] GridCube, didn't work [16:17] any other suggestions? [16:18] RemuN: what hardware is this? for my nvidia with vga and dvi im using i had to have the proprietary driver to make that work [16:18] amd HD 5670 [16:18] propietary drivers are in use [16:20] i would try other ones.. and keep in mind, it might just not be possible to use both.. is that the goal? dual head? [16:20] but Im using DVI only now, I was using vga before [16:20] or, just switching to DVI from VGA? [16:20] yep [16:21] what happened when you blew out the xorg? can you get to anything? is it just black? nothing? [16:21] I have dual head on CrunchBang, and here it recogized it immediately, even adjusted the resolution [16:21] nothing, just black, like before [16:21] RemuN: here? what do you mean by "here"? on the same hardware in #!? [16:21] yeah, dual boot [16:22] RemuN: what graphics driver are you using there? #! is based on wheezy.. is this xubuntu 13.04? [16:22] no 12.04 [16:23] #! uses the newest drivers from the site, Xubuntu uses older ones (there were some issues with steam with the newest) [16:23] RemuN: what would i do? plug the vga back in.. remove the proprietary driver, and get the system back to as default as possible.. and plug the DVI in [16:23] RemuN: you can always add the ppa's for "newer" versions of the graphics drivers if you need [16:24] and install drivers again after it sees the dvi? [16:24] steam has one that they suggest [16:24] Im using the one steam suggested [16:24] RemuN: *if* "it" sees it [16:24] yea ok [16:24] RemuN: try using the one from the repos as well. thats the one ubuntu/xubuntu will be officially supporting [16:26] Yeah I will, the one steam suggested is from the repos [16:26] ok thanks mate, ill figure something out [16:26] RemuN: good luck [16:33] Wait, I just remembered, I use a script for lightdm which changed to the right resolution from the old monitor [16:34] It puts CRT2 as primary monitor, and turns off DFP1 (my tv) [17:44] Im running liveUSB of xubuntu..how come its faster then my Mint installation with xfce lol? [17:44] Makes no sense at all [17:48] m3kk: probably just what you have done, or how you have configured mint.. or, the different base version supports the hardware "better" [17:55] holstein, ok thanks for the answer [19:22] Hi! i have a problem with my xubuntu, can anyone help?
