[01:14] if i try to load cheese it wants to load up the entire desktop gnome2/3 [01:14] no thanks [01:15] xubuntu819, cheese but use --no-install-recommends [01:18] so... sudo apt-get install cheese --no-install-recommends correct? [01:19] Yeeep. [01:20] i have been looking for --no-deps of sorts for ever with apt-get for a longggggg time,,, i didnt see anything else either until i did full on tab-completion [01:21] one think i like about buntu,, they have great tab completion, but not full unless you install it [01:21] ya knkow? [01:48] hey guys I am thinking of switching from ubuntu to xubuntu is there anything I should watch out for? [01:57] Aside from a different DE, it's still ubuntu. More or less. [01:58] If you're familiar with one, the learning curve on the other shouldn't be terrible. [02:01] ok cool [02:11] I use Ubuntu Studio, which has xfce as the DE. I love it. It's pretty intuitive to setup. [03:36] guys I got a problem my screen never actually turns off [03:36] on both my xubuntu computers [03:36] its just black [03:47] hey anyone else here have problems with not being able to see dropbox stats it just opens the folder [08:56] anyone about? need some help with the menu [08:57] richrock: what do you need help with? [08:58] hi, I'm creating a menu entry for a program I installed (not available through synaptic). [08:58] It keeps putting the menu item into 'Other', when I want it in 'Development' [09:00] Tried setting menu entry while I had Development selected, no luck... [09:03] can't help you with that at the moment sorry [09:05] okay no worries. it's not the end of the world, just can't figure out why. [09:06] ah, might be a way to hack the menu files... [09:34] how do i configure sound in xubuntu? i cant find any icon "sound" in settings ? [09:35] m3kk: you can install pavucontrol [09:36] baizon, so there is no way to configure sound in xubuntu by default? ok will isntall that [09:36] baizon, "pavucontrol is already the latest version installed" so.. ? [09:36] use it :) [09:37] baizon, i must start it from terminal? [09:37] if you want :) [09:38] ... [09:38] pavucontrol should be in settings like everything else? [09:38] anyway suddenly lost all sound for no reason [09:41] what happened? suddenly i hear no sound at all? pavucontrol shopws dB going up and down when viewing a youtube video.. but system is completly silent [10:03] hi, i suddenly lost all sound? i run pavucontrol and while i run a youtube video it shows dB goes up and down like there is actual sound.. but there is none? I have not tried to configure anything since it was working out of the box [10:12] gah [10:12] !patience [10:12] 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/ [10:12] Thanks ubottu, i can always count on you [10:36] afternoon everybody [10:37] i installed xubuntu 13.10 and i installed the chat client empathy, but i am unable to connect to google talk with it, anyway idea's [10:46] m3kk, on your pavucontrol, have you checked both the Playback AND Output Devices tabs? [10:46] I had similar problem, found the issue in the Output Devices [11:26] richrock, yes [11:28] richrock, what should i check in output? [11:29] do you have the same db levels going up and down? [11:29] some* ? [11:29] and check the mute/audio settings there also. [11:29] richrock, i actually got sound now.. pressed a few switches back and forth etc.. [11:29] On my system, I had issue because I was using wrong soundcard [11:29] have no idea what did the trick [11:30] good to hear [11:30] *no pun intended [11:30] richrock, hahaha' [12:30] hi all [12:31] Does anyone know the default shortcut-key to open a terminal in 11.10 xubuntu? [12:32] I gather that no one is watching this? [12:33] al____: Watching, just don't know that answer positively. [12:33] al____: I would guess Ctrl-Alt-T. [12:33] I tried that, thanks anyway bgardner [12:33] or possibly Super+T [12:34] 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] I will try elfy.... [12:34] wow! thanx elfy!!!!!!!! [12:35] You are amazing! [12:35] not so :) [12:35] Everyone here is great! [12:35] I will remember this channel [12:35] Have a nice day all. === Squidlips__ is now known as legg1 [16:04] Hi all :) [16:07] hullo [16:19] how do you install whatever you need for making VM's on xubuntu? [16:20] I use virtualbox personally [16:21] sudo apt-get install virtualbox [16:21] however, i use vmware player [16:21] it doesn't matter which to me I don't think [16:21] I make sure to add the vbox sources - so I end up not using the standard repo version [16:22] vmware player looked like a bit of a process [16:22] whats the difference? [16:22] dont-panic: Same concept, different manufacturers. [16:23] bgardner: I only need it to spin up random linux distro's to see if I can find one I like more [16:24] xubuntu's cool for a beefyish laptop, but my netbook needs lightweight stuff [16:24] 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] I did a debian netinstall, which is fast, just wanna see if I can find something lighter with apt-get [16:25] vmware install is quite easy [16:25] download the .bundle, chmod +x it, then sudo ./vmware-player [16:25] at work we use esx and kvm, but a vm should be pretty much the same across the board [16:25] legg1: wheres the bundle? [16:25] dont-panic, only thing liter than xfce, is fluxbox i think [16:25] dont-panic, go to vmware homepage, download, player, boop [16:26] legg1: awesome wm for the win lol [16:26] I love awesome [16:26] havent tried it [16:26] i only use xfce and fluxbox [16:26] for my boxes [16:26] jwm is even lighter, so is icewm [16:26] laptop is on xfce as well [16:26] i3 might even be lighter [16:26] then again, my laptop is a i7 with 16gb ram, and 128gb ssd, with 730M gfx [16:27] yeah, I have a similar setup for my main lappy [16:28] if it wasnt for my gtx 560 on my workstation, i could throw it and use the laptop only [16:28] stupid high speccs for a "laptop" [16:28] I rarely use my desktop anymore [16:29] Starting to drift ot here. [16:30] yeah... where's that vm .bundle? === Soul-Sing is now known as ZoZie [18:11] hi === map is now known as Guest82167 [19:29] 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? [19:37] mbish: settings manager > preferred applications [19:39] 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] mbish: Then check the permissions of that file. [19:42] says "owner root" How can i make myself the owner [19:43] mbish: Who says that? And why do you need to be the owner of a global file? [19:47] this is a screenshot of my permissions: http://i.imgur.com/EleHcJN.png [19:49] mbish: ls -lha "/usr/share/applications/kde4/dolphin.desktop" please, in a pastebin. [19:51] http://pastebin.com/WhAKpbt2 [19:53] mbish: That file lacks execution permissions I guess. [19:54] I can still open the file on its own I just cant set it as my default file manager for some reason. [20:00] you're not supposed to use a .desktop file as the program to launch but /usr/bin/dolphin [20:00] ... oh he left === Squidlips__ is now known as legg1 [20:16] hey [22:10] anyone know why virtualbox (set up for ubuntu) .. doesn't give the option for 64 bit ubuntu anymore? [22:10] Which version? And from which repo? [22:11] 12.04 [22:12] someone said 'hardware acceleration may be disabled in your bios" [22:12] That may apply. [22:14] * rhin0 reboots [22:23] which tool for transfering iso to usb as install media works with xubuntu desktop 64? [22:23] universal usb installer 1.9.3.9 doesnt [22:24] scrap that, theres a newer version out [23:00] hello. is there a way to remove the bluetooth icons from xubuntu taskbar? I dont use bluetooth ever [23:06] bingo: Just disable it in your startup applications. [23:06] can i find that from settings manager? [23:07] bingo: yup, settings manager -> startup applications [23:07] h yes i see application autostart, t [23:07] ty [23:19] Hello [23:28] 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? [23:34] hi [23:36] does someone here have knowledge related to the creation of the isolinux content in the Live distribution? [23:36] I think the Xubuntu team might have some people saavy about making their own from the sources [23:45] melodie, Normally stuff like that should get asked on #ubuntu [23:48] oh hi Noskcaj10 ! [23:48] hey melodie [23:48] aren't there too many people asking basic questions at #ubuntu ? :)
