| xabster | Can you help me solve some of these problems? 1) Chromium is set as default browser many times, but it keeps forgetting. 2) How can I replace all parole's MIME bindings with VLC player instead? 3) Various processes crash and give me an option to submit the problem. Do you know of a "database" of such issues to find solutions faster than googling? | 05:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | xabster, Close Chromium. In settings manager, select Preferred Applications. Set Chromium as default there. If Chromium should complain that it's not the default browser, don't set it in chromium. Just tell it to not ask you again. | 05:04 |
| xabster | alright, i did that now | 05:05 |
| xabster | thanks | 05:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | No problem. All links should open chromium by default now. | 05:06 |
| xabster | looks like it works fine | 05:06 |
| mapps | good evening.trying to install xubuntu on an old machine (p4 512mb ram) but i am having issues...on boot it either a ) hangs on xubuntu logo or b) it drops to acommand prompt | 05:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | xabster, As for Parole, I just uninstalled it. :) | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | mapps, did you md5sum the ISO to verify a good download | 05:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | VLC ftw | 05:07 |
| xabster | does that fallback to VLC taking those entries then? | 05:08 |
| mapps | i should mention it's a matrox g400/g450 gfx card according to lspci | grep VGA --- ive tried booting with nomodeset etc but no luck | 05:08 |
| xabster | uninstalling immediately :) | 05:08 |
| mapps | Poisoned_Dragon, yep checked and the iso was fine | 05:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | xabster, I'm pretty sure it does. | 05:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | mapps, cfhowlett made that suggestion | 05:09 |
| mapps | ah damn | 05:09 |
| mapps | sorry | 05:09 |
| mapps | tired:D | 05:09 |
| mapps | thanks cfhowlett but yea i checked | 05:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Ugh... matrox? really? That's gonna be a tough one. | 05:09 |
| xabster | lovely, it did | 05:09 |
| mapps | ya its a matrox g400/450 ..damn for real | 05:09 |
| mapps | there's no easy way? | 05:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I don't have much experience with that gpu. | 05:10 |
| mapps | damn thing what a PITA | 05:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I try to shy away from those and VIA | 05:10 |
| mapps | i thought it would be fine..as i mean it starts to boot up but stops on the xubuntu logo ya know | 05:10 |
| mapps | yea like broadcom for wifi..those are a pain hey | 05:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | mapps, maybe you should remove quiet and splash from the boot options. | 05:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Then you can see where it hangs | 05:11 |
| mapps | ah is quiet splash what makes it have the boot logo | 05:12 |
| mapps | where or how do i do that i know how to add options when i press f6 | 05:15 |
| elfy | same place - you should be able to edit the boot line there somewhere | 05:16 |
| mapps | ah | 05:16 |
| mapps | got it..thanks mate | 05:16 |
| mapps | thats handy..didnt know about that so il see it hang on something i assume | 05:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | thanks elfy. I kinda wandered off there | 05:27 |
| xabster | Anyone know how to get magnet links (torrents) to be recognized to belong to Transmission? | 06:09 |
| baizon | xabster: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122930/how-to-make-firefox-open-magnet-links-in-transmission | 06:11 |
| xabster | I got chrome, and the stuff that relates to Chrome talk about files | 06:13 |
| xabster | But a magnet URI is not a file | 06:13 |
| xabster | hold on, reading on | 06:13 |
| xabster | it did not work, but i will try one of the other solutions too | 06:16 |
| baizon | xabster: http://askubuntu.com/questions/108925/how-to-tell-chrome-what-to-do-with-a-magnet-link | 06:16 |
| xabster | not working either | 06:19 |
| xabster | it's the same suggestion | 06:20 |
| xabster | they all are | 06:20 |
| xabster | xabster@xabster-xubuntu:/usr/share/applications$ xdg-mime default transmission-gtk.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet | 06:20 |
| bazhang | no idea about chrome, got it in firefox though | 06:24 |
| xabster | ok, thanks though | 06:27 |

| gdos | can drop box be installed without installing all of the kde desktop? | 12:29 |
| well_laid_lawn | !find dropbox | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Found: nautilus-dropbox, libnet-dropbox-api-perl | 12:30 |
| TheSheep | I don't think we ship dropbox | 12:30 |
| TheSheep | you would need to ask their support | 12:31 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, dropbox doesn't install kde desktop | 12:38 |
| gdos | ok. 'cause last time i tried installing it, it was pulling QT4 files and somehow parts of the kde desktop got installed. | 12:39 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, similar for installing to xubuntu if not exactly the same : http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-dropbox-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ | 12:40 |
| gdos | ok. will check it out, thanks, cfhowlett. (btw, are there are 'free' services similar to dropbox?) | 12:41 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, ubuntuone .... | 12:42 |
| cfhowlett | assuming you mean cloud storage ? | 12:42 |
| gdos | cfhowlett: yea. but preferabbly something that uses both linux and windows. ubuntuone can do that? | 12:43 |
| gdos | !ubuntuone | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | yep. and android and even IOS | 12:43 |
| gdos | android? nice. (but not the kindle fire, huh?) | 12:43 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, never owned a kindle and know nothing about it beyond the name. sorry. | 12:44 |
| gdos | checking out ubuntu one now; i don't need to install 'UBUNTUONE-CLIENT-GNOME' just need to install 'UBUNTUONE-CLIENT' correct ? | 12:46 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, what is your ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| TheSheep | isn't kindle fire just android? | 12:47 |
| gdos | cfhowlett: Xubuntu 13.04 | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu? just got to software center and install the client | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | TheSheep, it's a skinned android ... I don't believe it even uses the google play store ... | 12:47 |
| gdos | TheSheep: the kindle uses a 'customized' version of Android (go figure, right?) | 12:47 |
| gdos | cfhowlett: the kindle doesn't even use the google play store. but you can use the kindle app store with android devices. figure that one out. | 12:48 |
| TheSheep | as long as you can install apps from outside the app store, you should be fine | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | and if they locked it out, you can always root it | 12:49 |
| cfhowlett | gdos, I've got kindle reader on my ipad and my nexus 4 phone. I'm quite happy with that for the few epubs and books I read | 12:49 |
| TheSheep | depending on the country in which you live, that may be perfectly legal or a crime against humanity | 12:51 |
| gdos | found spideroak.com checking it out now too. it also, like UbuntuOne & DropBox, has free storage as well as both a Windows and Android apps. | 13:48 |
| gdos | so how do i launch ubuntu one after installation? | 13:57 |
| SuperEngineer | gdos: here's 2 easy ways: press <Super> key - start typing Ubun... it will appear in list.. select & click | 13:59 |
| SuperEngineer | or click on imail icon in ndicator area - U1 is at bottom of drop list | 14:00 |
| SuperEngineer | [may I also recommend the whoops - sorry gdos - saw question hewre - thought i was still on #Ubuntu | 14:02 |
| SuperEngineer | my bad | 14:02 |
| SuperEngineer | in Xbuntu... look fo the drop down menu - its in there [or do as I have done & install gnome-do... once installed you just start typing Ub... it appears as 1st option in gnome-do ;) | 14:04 |
| SuperEngineer | talking of which.. Xubuntu on an old Acer netbook.. works a treat, best OS replace I've done in years [full blown Ubuntu slowed it down too much | 14:14 |
| tenc | I haven't met a rig I didn't like Xubuntu on. | 14:19 |
| gdos | first time i've used xubuntu since 8.10 and must say i'm impressed with the bug fixes. :) | 14:20 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 14:20 |
| gdos | one thing that i am glad is fixed is that before when i would install an app that used several gnome or kde libararies, somehow gnome or kde desktops would install. not so anymore. | 14:23 |
| thebope | hi. I keep receiving a notification about software updates but there is no icon to click. Where is this notifications icon I'm supposed to click? | 14:51 |
| thebope | oh stack overflow may have the answer here | 14:52 |
| xabster | Hi, I finally got my ATI drivers to work really well. FPS is almost same as Windows. One issue I got is that I need the "overscan" feature in the control to be set at max so it will cover my screen | 15:01 |
| xabster | The icons for the control panels are the same except one is "(administrative)" and that one does nothing | 15:02 |
| xabster | and the non-administrative one tells me that it doesn't have rights to save the setting | 15:02 |
| xabster | and so I gotta do it on each boot up | 15:02 |
| xabster | i tried gksudo amdcccle and changing it, but didn't do the trick (still forgets the settings but doesn't complain about rights) | 15:03 |
| GridCube | xabster, its inside the plugins indicators applet | 15:36 |
| GridCube | you need to re-add it | 15:36 |
| xubuntu058 | hello all, first time xubuntu user here | 15:53 |
| baizon | hi xubuntu058 | 15:56 |
| xabster | GridCube, sorry what? | 16:02 |
| xabster | Where is the plugin indicator? | 16:02 |
| zukeprime | xabster: right click on any panel-->'panel'-->'panel preferences'-->drop down pick your panel-->tab 'items'--> add items '+ | 16:05 |
| zukeprime | then add notification area | 16:05 |
| zukeprime | ...or go to settings menu, then pick 'panel', the rest is same. You need 'notification area' added | 16:06 |
| xabster | it's already added | 16:07 |
| peyam | xabster: if you dont find it any way you could install it again | 16:07 |
| xabster | but the ATI control panel is not there, like GridCube said | 16:07 |
| peyam | xabster: if you have ATI controller installed you can added in "startup aplication" | 16:07 |
| xabster | starting it won't do the trick | 16:08 |
| xabster | unless there's a commandline parameter to re-set overscan | 16:08 |
| peyam | xabster: I use the freeversion and I know it starts | 16:08 |
| peyam | xabster: what do you need it for? | 16:08 |
| xabster | overscan | 16:09 |
| xabster | free version of what? | 16:09 |
| peyam | dont you talk about ATI deriver? | 16:09 |
| xabster | no, what is that? | 16:09 |
| peyam | What are you talking about? | 16:09 |
| xabster | I installed proprietary ATI drivers, they come with a control panel | 16:09 |
| zukeprime | whoops, sorry xabster...got you and thebope mixed up | 16:09 |
| xabster | in the control panel I need to set overscan to 0% (possibly it's actually +15%) | 16:10 |
| xabster | i have to do this on each start up | 16:10 |
| thebope | ahh thanks though zukeprime | 16:10 |
| GridCube | xabster, sorry, i meant thebope | 16:11 |
| GridCube | i missreaded the nick | 16:11 |
| thebope | lol its kind of funny two people did | 16:12 |
| thebope | i just found system update in the settings manager and did it manually | 16:12 |
| GridCube | you both got the same color in xchat | 16:12 |
| thebope | but ill add the area now | 16:12 |
| thebope | thanks GridCube | 16:12 |
| GridCube | dont worry | 16:13 |
| peyam | xabster: just make a launcher of ATI control plan | 16:13 |
| peyam | right click > add new > launcher and fill it with right path | 16:13 |
| gdos | alright i still don't see any place to launch the ubuntuone UI. | 16:14 |
| GridCube | thebope, even if its added sometimes if it gets closed by mistake the network manager restart it, but just for itself, so you loose all other icons, like sound control, update manager, etc. | 16:14 |
| thebope | Hmm thats weird | 16:14 |
| zukeprime | thebope: typically if the notification misbehaves, just open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' that should take care of the updates for you | 16:15 |
| xabster | peyam, then I still gotta find the menu option and re-set it each time | 16:15 |
| xabster | your sugestion only solves the part about opening "settings" first5 | 16:15 |
| xabster | and then click the control panel icon from there | 16:16 |
| thebope | Ahhh. I knew there was a terminal command I could run but I wasn't sure exactly what it was. | 16:16 |
| GridCube | thebope, when in doubt, apt-get | 16:17 |
| zukeprime | the notification area is great for opening the GUI for software updates so you can look at changes easily. Typically, though, when the update icon pops up, I just go straight to terminal | 16:17 |
| peyam | xabster: its not posible what you want | 16:17 |
| thebope | I'm used to unix still :/ | 16:18 |
| thebope | Pretty close but not quite the same | 16:18 |
| xabster | peyam: it works on linux mint..... | 16:19 |
| GridCube | never used unix | 16:24 |

| holstein | xubuntu410: i woud try it live.. and i would just add as much as you can.. how much do you have? | 16:55 |
| xubuntu410 | I want install Xubuntu on education computers in my school | 16:56 |
| xubuntu410 | 64 mb | 16:56 |
| GridCube | my vm has 12mb and runs just well | 16:56 |
| holstein | xubuntu410: i would try something like puppy linux with those specs | 16:57 |
| GridCube | i would try a live session | 16:57 |
| GridCube | my opinion is that it will run just well | 16:57 |
| GridCube | you might get limited by ram though | 16:57 |
| xubuntu410 | Windows XP SP3 works wery well | 16:57 |
| xubuntu410 | So | 16:58 |
| GridCube | more than 512mb of ram is highly recommended | 16:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu410: windows xp is quite older than xubuntu 13.04 | 16:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu410: ubuntu from that era, or linux, will run fine as well | 16:58 |
| xubuntu410 | Yep,it have 512 ram | 16:58 |
| GridCube | xubuntu410, it will be cripled by that | 16:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu410: you said 64mb of ram | 16:58 |
| GridCube | you can try lubuntu with zram | 16:58 |
| GridCube | holstein, he said video memory | 16:58 |
| holstein | a 512ram with 64mb of video ram should be fine | 16:59 |
| GridCube | xubuntu410, or xubuntu and install zram | 16:59 |
| xubuntu410 | Ok,here specs:Celeron 3066,512 ram,64 video | 16:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu410: try it live.. should be fine | 16:59 |
| GridCube | xubuntu410, as said, lubuntu will be better | 16:59 |
| GridCube | xubuntu will run, but painfully slow | 17:00 |
| xubuntu410 | Ok | 17:00 |
| xubuntu410 | Thnx | 17:00 |
| xabster | he said video memory at the start, holstein :) | 17:00 |
| GridCube | if no zram installed | 17:00 |
| holstein | xabster: i see that.. thank you all for the updtae | 17:00 |
| holstein | update* | 17:00 |
| GridCube | XD | 17:00 |
| xabster | no worries, he's talking about ram on the gfx card | 17:00 |
| xabster | video ram | 17:00 |
| holstein | its rather irrelevant, so i assumed and asked about the system memory | 17:00 |
| xabster | he talks not about ram in pc | 17:00 |
| xabster | (:D) | 17:00 |
| holstein | xabster: yes, i see that, and appreciate your reiteration.. again | 17:01 |
| xabster | about the video memory? no problem | 17:01 |

| youngxubuntuuser | can someone help me | 17:51 |
| holstein | !ask | youngxubuntuuser | 17:51 |
| ubottu | youngxubuntuuser: 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 | 17:51 |
| youngxubuntuuser | know someone samba4 | 17:52 |
| holstein | !samba | 17:52 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 17:52 |
| youngxubuntuuser | i install samba4 but i want to open it. | 17:52 |
| youngxubuntuuser | i do not know how | 17:53 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: i use gigolo to connect to shares | 17:53 |
| holstein | !info gigolo | 17:53 |
| ubottu | gigolo (source: gigolo): frontend to manage connections to remote filesystems using GIO/GVfs. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.1+dfsg-1 (raring), package size 143 kB, installed size 753 kB | 17:53 |
| youngxubuntuuser | I'm 14 years old and I want to learn how to use samba4 | 17:54 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: samba is not something you click on and run.. what are you trying to do? share a samba share from linux to windows? | 17:54 |
| youngxubuntuuser | someone gave me a project -> i must share files from my Windows Computer to my Notebook with samba | 17:56 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: i use gigolo to connect to shares | 17:56 |
| youngxubuntuuser | how can I get gigolo | 17:57 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: you can install it if you like.. the process is likely still quite similar to http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/10/share-files-between-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/ | 17:58 |
| youngxubuntuuser | if I have gigolo, how can i use it | 17:58 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: gigolo is just a suggestion. dont overthink it.. or get fixated on it | 17:58 |
| youngxubuntuuser | can I install it with the Terminal? | 17:59 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: you'll need to learn to use something to connect.. i would try the link i gave, and see if its releavant to samba4 and your windows version | 17:59 |
| holstein | youngxubuntuuser: sudo apt-get install gigolo | 17:59 |
| youngxubuntuuser | thx u very much | 18:00 |

| GraveMrWhite | Sorry I remembered as I sent it. | 18:42 |
| GridCube | GraveMrWhite, only yout /boot/ partition seems quite full | 18:44 |
| GridCube | the rest seems fine | 18:44 |
| GridCube | you probably can free some space there by removing old kernels if im not mistaken | 18:44 |
| GraveMrWhite | Is the encryption "writing" the dead space to keep it safe? | 18:45 |
| GridCube | no idea | 18:45 |
| Myrtti | yeah, removing old kernels should do the trick | 18:46 |
| GraveMrWhite | Okay, how can I do that, and would expanding my partition be a good idea too? | 18:48 |
| Myrtti | http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu seems to have quite a good grasp on the subject | 18:50 |
| Myrtti | although it seems to be a bit faily | 18:52 |
| GridCube | GraveMrWhite, this program should handle it graphically https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-tweak | 18:52 |
| GridCube | though you can just search the kernels in the USC or if you have synaptic and select them to uninstall manually, or there are some commands that do it in the internet, but they fright me because i dont understand how they work | 18:54 |
| JaZZyCooL | hey guys is there anyone you can dual boot xubuntu and windows 8 (pre-installed)? Does xubuntu support UEFI like Ubuntu? Will it have the same steps for dual boot? | 18:56 |
| GridCube | yes | 18:56 |
| GridCube | well, in order: i don't know, yes, and yes. | 18:57 |
| JaZZyCooL | well how then how to do it | 18:57 |
| GridCube | !uefi | 18:57 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:57 |
| JaZZyCooL | because I liked xubuntu and want to dual boot | 18:57 |
| JaZZyCooL | so it will have the steps for the dual boot as for ubuntu | 18:58 |
| GridCube | as i said before. yes. | 18:58 |
| JaZZyCooL | ok thanks sir that is great man as xubuntu supports UEFI big problem solved | 18:58 |
| GridCube | :) | 18:59 |
| JaZZyCooL | yeah well I come from crunchbang, ubuntu and Linux mint so wanted to try something else first decided to go with opensuse but then thought of xubuntu less fancy, GUI configs and large repository to support my needs rather than in crunchbang where I had to install from source once again thanks | 19:00 |
| GraveMrWhite | Gride Cube, thank you for your help! | 19:08 |
| GridCube | :) dont worry | 19:08 |
| GridCube | i just installed the ubuntu-tweak program and its a pretty fancy way of doing it :D | 19:08 |
| GraveMrWhite | Good deal I'll give it a shot | 19:08 |
| GridCube | GraveMrWhite, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/08/remove-old-kernels-from-ubuntu-13-04-13-10/ | 19:09 |
| GridCube | GraveMrWhite, if you download the .deb package and install it, it will be under the "system" submenu of the Settings Manager, not in any menu | 19:11 |
| GraveMrWhite | You guys/gals are great, thank you for helping a new user! | 19:12 |
| GridCube | :) | 19:12 |
| mapps | hi folks | 19:23 |
| mapps | i was told earlier | 19:23 |
| mapps | ' mapps, maybe you should remove quiet and splash from the boot options.' | 19:23 |
| mapps | how do i do that?! | 19:23 |
| elfy | from an install or from a live image? | 19:24 |
| mapps | live cd | 19:25 |
| elfy | 2 secs | 19:25 |
| mapps | hmm | 19:25 |
| mapps | wait this is odd..im trying to boot off xubuntu 13.04 but it doesnt come up saying 'install' run off live cd etc | 19:25 |
| dunpeal | Hi. I just rebooted, and for some reason, my desktop "theme" ("style"?) doesn't render. Chaging the "Style" in the Settings menu doesn't help either. How do I troubleshoot this? | 19:25 |
| mapps | like ubuntu/lubuntu do - is that right?! surely i should be able to choose ..but no meny comes up | 19:26 |
| elfy | mapps: can't remember what you get from 13.04 tbh | 19:26 |
| mapps | ok il try 12.04 and see;D | 19:27 |
| elfy | but if you are in live cd/dvd/usb - F6 - then you get a menu - esc - you'll see the boot options then - you can use the cursor to move back and remove the quiet and splash | 19:27 |
| mapps | at what point | 19:27 |
| mapps | it comes up as if its booting into live right away | 19:28 |
| elfy | when you get the man/kbd - hit any key and it'll give you the menu | 19:28 |
| mapps | man/kbd? after my system boots it is booting right off cd and not giving any meny | 19:29 |
| mapps | menu | 19:29 |
| mapps | like just straight away it comes up with the little logo at bottom of screen | 19:29 |
| elfy | mapps: http://imagebin.org/273403 - you can see I've started to remove spash | 19:29 |
| elfy | that is probably the time to hit any key :) | 19:29 |
| mapps | what versions that | 19:29 |
| mapps | I dont get tha boot menu thats what ive been saying | 19:30 |
| elfy | hang on mapps | 19:30 |
| mapps | its booting up right into the live/try without installing so no option to do so | 19:30 |
| mapps | thanks mate | 19:30 |
| elfy | http://imagebin.org/273404 | 19:30 |
| elfy | do you see that? | 19:30 |
| mapps | yep | 19:30 |
| mapps | ah ok | 19:31 |
| mapps | f6 there brings it up | 19:31 |
| mapps | thats weird..in ubuntu and lubuntu the boot menu comes up right awya howcome in xubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 it brings that up and no menu? | 19:31 |
| elfy | no idea what others do | 19:31 |
| elfy | ok - so f6 - you'll see the noapic etc choices - escape then you should be able to edit the boot line | 19:32 |
| mapps | yep | 19:32 |
| mapps | edited it | 19:32 |
| mapps | removed quiet and splash | 19:32 |
| xabster_ | can i make the panel at the top be at the bottom instead? | 19:32 |
| mapps | lets see where it hangs..it just hung on a blinking cursor last time..tried with lubuntu and either command prompt or blinking so is a gfx issue | 19:32 |
| xabster_ | in the panel options i can only find vertical/horizontal and deskbar | 19:32 |
| elfy | xabster_: you need to unlock them - then you can move them | 19:33 |
| xabster_ | and how do I do that? | 19:34 |
| xabster_ | i can move the vertical one | 19:34 |
| xabster_ | wait, no | 19:34 |
| xabster_ | the "lock panel" option isn't at the top panel | 19:34 |
| xabster_ | i can't seem to hit the panel, but instead i hit separators | 19:34 |
| xabster_ | ah got it | 19:35 |
| mapps | holy hell | 19:35 |
| mapps | elfy, | 19:35 |
| mapps | wow | 19:35 |
| mapps | i remove quiet and splash and it has booted up into xubuntu desktop | 19:36 |
| mapps | thats crazy i thought the quiet and splash were just to stop us seeing everything that happens during boot? | 19:36 |
| elfy | did it not boot before then? | 19:37 |
| elfy | if it didn't then install now :) | 19:39 |
| mapps | before it would boot up then get stuck on a blinking cursor OR drop to a command prompt and when i tried to start manually..problems then and couldnt get intpo thre GUI | 19:39 |
| mapps | so what does removing splash and quiet do i thought it was just there normally to stop people seeing all the text output on boot? | 19:39 |
| elfy | not sure tbh | 19:40 |
| dunpeal | anyone has any idea why xfsettingsd would fail to load on startup? | 22:23 |
| dunpeal | or how I should troubleshoot this? | 22:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | tried starting it in a terminal so you can see what it errors on ? | 22:24 |
| `Fibz` | check launcher menu -> settings -> settings manager -> seesion & startup -> application autostart | 22:24 |
| ner0x | Hello all. Where can I edit the "next song, pause, last song" etc volumn keyboard shortcuts? | 22:52 |
| ner0x | Also, what would you suggest as a PDF viewer that is cabaple of saving a form. | 22:52 |
| === Maple__ is now known as Guest95952 | ||
| bekks | ner0x: adobe acrobat reader | 22:53 |
| peyam | ner0x: well I use edvice or whatever it called | 22:54 |
| bekks | evince isnt capable of saving PDF forms. | 22:54 |
| === Guest95952 is now known as Mapley | ||
| ner0x | bekks: It saves a copy but doesn't save combo boxes. | 22:59 |
| bekks | ner0x: what is "it"? | 22:59 |
| ner0x | bekks: evince. | 22:59 |
| bekks | I know. Thats why I told you: adobe acrobat reader | 23:00 |
| ner0x | bekks: Yeesh. Bite my head off why don't you. :) | 23:01 |
| bekks | Not that tasty ;) | 23:01 |
| ner0x | True story. | 23:02 |
| bekks | I prefer pizza baguettes currently ;) | 23:02 |
| ner0x | Totinos pizza baguettes. | 23:03 |
| ner0x | I wanted to avoid using acroread because of the non amd64 arch but I'll deal. | 23:03 |
| bekks | multiarch is no big deal nowadays. | 23:04 |
| bekks | It wasnt ten years ago, either. | 23:05 |
| ball | How do I list the packages that are installed? | 23:13 |
| bekks | dpkg -l | grep "^ii" | 23:13 |
