| Noskcaj | amerigena, You will need a launchpad account either way, but the best option is the run "ubuntu-bug PACKAGE" for whatever package has the issue | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| amerigena | Thank you. | 00:06 |
| amerigena | I assume that I'm going to have to install apport on the machine running saucy that's experiencing the bug, correct? | 00:07 |
| amerigena | I'm new at this;sorry. | 00:07 |
| Noskcaj | amerigena, 1. It's fine to be new, we all were once. 2. try running the command first, i'm not quite sure what the default installed programs are | 00:09 |
| Noskcaj | If not, then you'll need to install apport | 00:09 |
| audrey | on xubuntu 13.04 when i try to log in with any de or window manager i get a black screen then i get kicked back to the login manager. tried gdm and it hangs at a blue screen with the progress circle spinning with no login window ever appearing. tried purging nvidia-325 drivers with no difference in results. how do i fix tihs? | 02:27 |
| arthurfiggis | hello :) i noticed that xubuntu isn't defaulting to mir in 13.10...and i'm glad for that really, because for one i use an intel on-board chip for video, and intel isn't supporting mir any more :( are there plans to default to it in xubuntu in the future though? it seems like wayland will be better supported, if you can at least choose that over mir i suppose it won't be so bad | 04:43 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | arthurfiggis, http://askubuntu.com/questions/285787/does-the-change-to-mir-affect-other-ubuntu-derivates-like-xubuntu-or-kubuntu | 04:46 |
| arthurfiggis | Poisoned_Dragon: Thanks for the link...but from that page: "Edubuntu, Xubuntu & Ubuntu Kylin have not yet announced whether they will switch to Mir. " not sure if that clears it up :) | 04:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, it's still a complicated discussion. | 04:49 |
| cfhowlett | arthurfiggis, I suspect this initiative may be quietly dropped ... | 04:49 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Just have to wait and see, I suppose. | 04:49 |
| arthurfiggis | cfhowlett: i hope so...not necessarily because of the project itself, but i haven't heard of any other major distro, or even ubuntu derivative that intends to support it...that'd be a lot of work for the people behind said derivatives, but i guess if it came down to it the community would just wind up maintaining x/wayland themselves | 04:50 |
| arthurfiggis | i just always go with nvidia or intel for video and it seems like neither are intending to support mir either, so if i were stuck with mir there wouldn't be many options for video left :( | 04:51 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I think it would be quite some time before you get "stuck" with Mir. A lot can happen between now and then. | 04:52 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I wouldn't worry about it now. | 04:53 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Especially if the ubuntu derivatives aren't in a hurry to adopt Mir. | 04:54 |
| arthurfiggis | Poisoned_Dragon: Well kubuntu certainly aren't, but i believe that's largely because (i think) kde doesn't actually run under mir...which is good reasoning, it seems like very little else does so far :) i'm using kubuntu now for that reason...wayland is what the community and the hardware manufacturers are getting behind for the most part | 04:56 |
| arthurfiggis | (sorry, apparently it's kwin that doesn't run under mir yet...but it's a fairly important component) | 04:58 |

| cfhowlett | xubuntu044, "fewer" crashes? hard to say. depends on your configuration and use. BUT xubuntu is optimized for older, lower spec machines. | 08:49 |
| cfhowlett | as is lubuntu | 08:49 |

| kai_ | i just upgraded to 13.10 and when i try to login now all i get is the background wallpaper and that's it :/ | 14:38 |
| kai_ | any ideas on how to fix this? | 14:38 |
| GridCube | kai_, press alt-f2 and type: xfwm4 --replace | 14:41 |
| GridCube | if that doesnt work press alt-f2 and type xfce4-panel --restart | 14:42 |
| kai_ | the problem is that alt+f2 does not work | 14:42 |
| kai_ | interesting thing is that i can log in as guest user without problems | 14:42 |
| GridCube | kai_, then log in as guest. do gksu thunar, go to your user folder and rename the .config and .local folders to anything else, relog as your user and those folders will respawn, then replace the contents of those folders with the original ones on the settings you wish to preserve and see if things break | 14:45 |
| kai_ | okay, seems to work except it didn't restore my old settings | 14:49 |
| kai_ | but that's okay :) | 14:49 |
| kai_ | GridCube: thank you! | 14:49 |
| GridCube | kai_, as ai said, if you renamed the folders then you can import the settings you miss | 14:50 |
| GridCube | do it carefully so you wont import back the bug file that broke your sessions | 14:50 |
| kai_ | well, i moved the backups of .config and .local back to those names and now i can log in but my old settings weren't preserved | 14:52 |
| kai_ | i'll just set up my few customizations again, not a big deal | 14:53 |
| GridCube | kai_, :) god speed then! | 14:56 |
| kai_ | okay two more things: | 15:08 |
| kai_ | the sound indicator plugin in the top doesn't show anything as well as the bluetooth indicator | 15:08 |
| kai_ | when i click on the a tiny white rectangle appears, that's it | 15:09 |

| g2k | running xubuntu 12.04, I have downloaded a few mouse themes and told the settings to resize cursor to 36pixels but NOTHING i do will change the mouse cursor size. | 16:18 |
| g2k | menu>settings>window manager for window theme... | 16:19 |
| g2k | menu>settings>appearance for icons and such | 16:19 |
| GridCube | g2k, "If the cursor doesn’t follow the theme set for 11.04 and above, try chmod +x ~/.Xdefaults. .Xdefaults also must be executable for Xfce 4.8, this is a change from Xfce 4.6." | 16:20 |
| g2k | menu>settings>desktop too | 16:20 |
| g2k | what does ~/ mean?? | 16:21 |
| GridCube | ~/ means /home/yourusername/ | 16:21 |
| g2k | ok | 16:21 |
| GridCube | as we dont know what your username is ~/ is used to stand for any user name | 16:22 |
| GridCube | the terminal knows that aswell :D | 16:22 |
| g2k | do i chmod that as user or root? | 16:23 |
| GridCube | try your user first | 16:25 |
| g2k | ok, it didnt throw an error once i did it as user, so now what do i want do? | 16:26 |
| dont-panic | can anyone tell me the right way to switch to awesome wm? I tried awesome --replace at home but it complained about the notification area and loaded xfcepannel over awesome wm | 16:28 |
| g2k | the cursor has still not changed size? | 16:31 |
| g2k | its big in an application, but shrinks back to normal when i focus the desktop. | 16:32 |
| GridCube | dont-panic, try killall xfce4-panel | 16:37 |
| GridCube | and then "awesome --replace" | 16:37 |
| dont-panic | I'm at work... I'll have to try in a moment... how do I change back if that doesn't have the desired effect? | 16:38 |

| g2k | those places DO give solutions but NONE of the solutions work on my system, I don't know why, it's a pretty vanilla install of xubuntu. Sorry if I appear impatient (wasn't my intent) | 17:41 |

| dont-panic | how do I make it so when I log in, it drops to cli? | 21:08 |
| dont-panic | basically I'm trying to stop xfwm4 and xfce-panel from starting and make awesome wm start instead | 21:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It would be easier to consider using the ubuntu net install and not install a DE other than awesome. | 21:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You may not even want the desktop manager. So, no LightDM | 21:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Otherwise, you would have to remove the whole xfce DE and install awesome. Since awesome is still a DE having a a DM (LightDM) would still load to awesome. So, best to have no DM so that you get a CLI login prompt. | 21:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | then you can start awesome at your leisure. | 21:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, that's just me. | 21:14 |
| RJ45 | I call upon the attention of Sysi: ! | 21:32 |
| RJ45 | Sysi: IDK if you remember, but we (and a few others) were trying to get to the bottom of why my computer was randomly freezing completely beyond any intractability at-all, | 21:35 |
| dont-panic | Poisoned_Dragon: I'm at work. I asked if I could reimage to debian... they said no | 21:36 |
| RJ45 | well, not sure if this helps get to the bottom of things, but out of blind hope, I tried disabling everything to-do with Screensavers and Power Management in XFCE-Settings, and guess what, not a single freeze-up since! 0_0 | 21:36 |
| RJ45 | 22:32:54 up 3 days, 3:52, 1 user, load average: 0.64, 0.55, 0.40 | 21:36 |
| dont-panic | so now I gotta stick with xubuntu. I wish you could choose awesome from the login screen | 21:36 |
| RJ45 | Sysi: any clues what could be wrong?, maybe stupid motherboard offsets some clocks a tiny bit when awoken from suspend?, or something like that? | 21:38 |
| RJ45 | also, anyone else, feel free to chime-in | 21:38 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | dont-panic, I think you can uninstall just xfwm4 and install awesome. Awesome is just a WM. Not a full DE. | 22:03 |
| dont-panic | Poisoned_Dragon: that'll effect other users though right? | 22:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I believe so. :( | 22:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | maybe you should make a usb based live session for yourself. | 22:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | With Puppy, or something similar. | 22:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That you can put the stick in any computer. | 22:11 |
| dont-panic | Poisoned_Dragon: too slow and too many programs we use for getting out of our network and time card stuff | 22:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Hmm. | 22:11 |
| dont-panic | my work is retarded, I'm the only one who uses this computer but they insist on having other acounts on here so managers can tail logs and stuff | 22:12 |
| dont-panic | and no one ever tails that stuff | 22:12 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | heh | 22:12 |
