| niel | hey guys I am thinking of switching from ubuntu to xubuntu is there anything I should watch out for? | 01:48 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Aside from a different DE, it's still ubuntu. More or less. | 01:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If you're familiar with one, the learning curve on the other shouldn't be terrible. | 01:58 |
| niel | ok cool | 02:01 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I use Ubuntu Studio, which has xfce as the DE. I love it. It's pretty intuitive to setup. | 02:11 |
| niel | guys I got a problem my screen never actually turns off | 03:36 |
| niel | on both my xubuntu computers | 03:36 |
| niel | its just black | 03:36 |

| lderan | richrock: what do you need help with? | 08:57 |
| richrock | hi, I'm creating a menu entry for a program I installed (not available through synaptic). | 08:58 |
| richrock | It keeps putting the menu item into 'Other', when I want it in 'Development' | 08:58 |
| richrock | Tried setting menu entry while I had Development selected, no luck... | 09:00 |
| lderan | can't help you with that at the moment sorry | 09:03 |
| richrock | okay no worries. it's not the end of the world, just can't figure out why. | 09:05 |
| richrock | ah, might be a way to hack the menu files... | 09:06 |

| baizon | m3kk: you can install pavucontrol | 09:35 |
| m3kk | baizon, so there is no way to configure sound in xubuntu by default? ok will isntall that | 09:36 |
| m3kk | baizon, "pavucontrol is already the latest version installed" so.. ? | 09:36 |
| baizon | use it :) | 09:36 |
| m3kk | baizon, i must start it from terminal? | 09:37 |
| baizon | if you want :) | 09:37 |
| m3kk | ... | 09:38 |
| m3kk | pavucontrol should be in settings like everything else? | 09:38 |

| al____ | Does anyone know the default shortcut-key to open a terminal in 11.10 xubuntu? | 12:31 |
| al____ | I gather that no one is watching this? | 12:32 |
| bgardner | al____: Watching, just don't know that answer positively. | 12:33 |
| bgardner | al____: I would guess Ctrl-Alt-T. | 12:33 |
| al____ | I tried that, thanks anyway bgardner | 12:33 |
| elfy | or possibly Super+T | 12:33 |
| al____ | ctrl-alt-t used to work with 10.04 and I even found a site that said it worked with 11.10 but..... | 12:34 |
| al____ | I will try elfy.... | 12:34 |
| al____ | wow! thanx elfy!!!!!!!! | 12:34 |

| xubuntu232 | Hi all :) | 16:04 |
| GridCube | hullo | 16:07 |
| dont-panic | how do you install whatever you need for making VM's on xubuntu? | 16:19 |
| elfy | I use virtualbox personally | 16:20 |
| legg1 | sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 16:21 |
| legg1 | however, i use vmware player | 16:21 |
| dont-panic | it doesn't matter which to me I don't think | 16:21 |
| elfy | I make sure to add the vbox sources - so I end up not using the standard repo version | 16:21 |
| dont-panic | vmware player looked like a bit of a process | 16:22 |
| dont-panic | whats the difference? | 16:22 |
| bgardner | dont-panic: Same concept, different manufacturers. | 16:22 |
| dont-panic | bgardner: I only need it to spin up random linux distro's to see if I can find one I like more | 16:23 |
| dont-panic | xubuntu's cool for a beefyish laptop, but my netbook needs lightweight stuff | 16:24 |
| bgardner | dont-panic: Then either should do. I use Virtualbox daily and it works well, but I have heard good things about vmware player as well. | 16:24 |
| dont-panic | I did a debian netinstall, which is fast, just wanna see if I can find something lighter with apt-get | 16:24 |
| legg1 | vmware install is quite easy | 16:25 |
| legg1 | download the .bundle, chmod +x it, then sudo ./vmware-player | 16:25 |
| dont-panic | at work we use esx and kvm, but a vm should be pretty much the same across the board | 16:25 |
| dont-panic | legg1: wheres the bundle? | 16:25 |
| legg1 | dont-panic, only thing liter than xfce, is fluxbox i think | 16:25 |
| legg1 | dont-panic, go to vmware homepage, download, player, boop | 16:25 |
| dont-panic | legg1: awesome wm for the win lol | 16:26 |
| dont-panic | I love awesome | 16:26 |
| legg1 | havent tried it | 16:26 |
| legg1 | i only use xfce and fluxbox | 16:26 |
| legg1 | for my boxes | 16:26 |
| dont-panic | jwm is even lighter, so is icewm | 16:26 |
| legg1 | laptop is on xfce as well | 16:26 |
| dont-panic | i3 might even be lighter | 16:26 |
| legg1 | then again, my laptop is a i7 with 16gb ram, and 128gb ssd, with 730M gfx | 16:26 |
| dont-panic | yeah, I have a similar setup for my main lappy | 16:27 |
| legg1 | if it wasnt for my gtx 560 on my workstation, i could throw it and use the laptop only | 16:28 |
| legg1 | stupid high speccs for a "laptop" | 16:28 |
| dont-panic | I rarely use my desktop anymore | 16:28 |
| bgardner | Starting to drift ot here. | 16:29 |
| dont-panic | yeah... where's that vm .bundle? | 16:30 |

| mbish | Hello, I'm using Xubuntu 13.10 64-bit and I'm trying to make Dolphin my default file manager. How can I do this? | 19:29 |
| brainwash | mbish: settings manager > preferred applications | 19:37 |
| mbish | I did that. I pointed it to the file and I get this error message: Failed to execute default file manager. Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop" (Permission denied). | 19:39 |
| bekks | mbish: Then check the permissions of that file. | 19:39 |
| mbish | says "owner root" How can i make myself the owner | 19:42 |
| bekks | mbish: Who says that? And why do you need to be the owner of a global file? | 19:43 |
| mbish | this is a screenshot of my permissions: http://i.imgur.com/EleHcJN.png | 19:47 |
| bekks | mbish: ls -lha "/usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop" please, in a pastebin. | 19:49 |
| mbish | http://pastebin.com/WhAKpbt2 | 19:51 |
| bekks | mbish: That file lacks execution permissions I guess. | 19:53 |
| mbish | I can still open the file on its own I just cant set it as my default file manager for some reason. | 19:54 |
| blueazimuth | you're not supposed to use a .desktop file as the program to launch but /usr/bin/dolphin | 20:00 |
| blueazimuth | ... oh he left | 20:00 |

| volsus | hey | 20:16 |

| bekks | Which version? And from which repo? | 22:10 |
| rhin0 | 12.04 | 22:11 |
| rhin0 | someone said 'hardware acceleration may be disabled in your bios" | 22:12 |
| bekks | That may apply. | 22:12 |

| krytarik | bingo: Just disable it in your startup applications. | 23:06 |

| Azelphur | bingo: yup, settings manager -> startup applications | 23:07 |

| perola | Hello | 23:19 |
| perola | I am running xubuntu 13.04 and have power manager configured correctly (suspend when closing lid both on ac and on battery). However, when I close the lid nothing happens. Suspend itself is working when I select it from the menu. How could this be solved? | 23:28 |
| melodie | hi | 23:34 |
| melodie | does someone here have knowledge related to the creation of the isolinux content in the Live distribution? | 23:36 |
| melodie | I think the Xubuntu team might have some people saavy about making their own from the sources | 23:36 |
| Noskcaj10 | melodie, Normally stuff like that should get asked on #ubuntu | 23:45 |
| melodie | oh hi Noskcaj10 ! | 23:48 |
| Noskcaj10 | hey melodie | 23:48 |
| melodie | aren't there too many people asking basic questions at #ubuntu ? :) | 23:48 |
