[01:46] <Mapley> I swear that Droid Sans looks different on Xubuntu than on Arch with the same exact font rendering settings... hmm.
[01:47] <Mapley> Slightly different spacing, character widths, and curves.
[02:54] <mushrooman> Hi
[03:01] <mushrooman> Why does Xubuntu lag so much?
[03:02] <mushrooman> I removed Nouveau and the lag is gone, but I'm stuck at 800x600
[03:05] <ruien> I run nvidia drivers on dual-monitor setup, 1920x1080 & 1600x900, I'm using "nvidia-319-updates" package on xubuntu 13.10 -- no lag whatsoever
[03:06] <mushrooman> It's not as bad a unity Ubuntu, but there's pretty horrific draw bugs and software manager lags just animating icons
[03:07] <ruien> that sounds like a driver incompatibility. Which driver are you using, and is it compatible with your video card?
[03:09] <mushrooman> It's Nouveau
[03:09] <xub350> mushrooman: what video card do you have?
[03:09] <mushrooman> Geforce 4 MX 440
[03:10] <xub350> that's the problem
[03:10] <xub350> you need the drivers version 96.xx
[03:11] <ruien> those, i think, are for the 2.6.32* kernel series (circa xubuntu 10.04) - is that right?
[03:12] <xub350> give me one sec... all he needs to do is add new PPA.. i just don't remeber wish ones
[03:21] <mushrooman> I looked in "additional drivers" and there's nothing
[03:49] <holstein> mushrooman: i would try the vesa driver
[03:50] <holstein> mushrooman: maybe the xswat ppa is what xub350 was referring to
[04:26] <glenrock> how do i add a picture for my account so it shows up in the login screen?
[04:29] <holstein> glenrock: http://askubuntu.com/questions/47186/is-there-a-way-to-change-user-picture-in-xubuntu-and-actually-display-it-on-log suggests "Create a 96x72 png (PNG) and renamed it as ~/.face"
[04:29] <glenrock> thanks holstein
[04:29] <glenrock> testing now
[04:37] <glenrock> worked :)
[04:57] <xubuntu400> hola
[04:58] <xubuntu400> i can someone help with my auidio card? i just installed Xubuntu 12.04 but i got no audio
[05:03] <holstein> xubuntu400: double check the mutes.. the hardware and softare mute buttons..
[05:04] <holstein> !audio | xubuntu400
[06:34] <xubuntu207> i have a problem getting a wireless usb modem to work in xubuntu..... and I'm a newbie
[06:34] <xubuntu207> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:7015 Atheros Communications, Inc. TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287]
[06:35] <xubuntu207> anyone?
[06:39] <ruien> run into a similar issue myself with a different usb modem (G3), only has windows drivers, never got it to work
[06:40] <ruien> is this similar, or does yours actually have a linux driver
[06:43] <xubuntu207> nope although it is supposed to use ath9k_htc
[06:44] <xubuntu207> when I checked using dmesg in the CLI it showed that it couldn't retrieve the firmweare
[06:45] <xubuntu207> er, typo! firmware
[06:45] <Unit193> sudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc   gives what?
[06:46] <xubuntu207> got a bit of a problem, I just dicovered that i messed up with the root password so I can't use SU
[06:47] <xubuntu207> forgotten my root password, jees will i have to reinstall xubuntu
[06:47] <xubuntu207> ?
[06:47] <ruien> does your user have sudo access? If you do, you enter your own password, not root's password, and you can log in with root using "sudo su -"
[06:47] <Unit193> sudo -i
[06:48] <xubuntu207> ok, i'll try that now
[06:48] <xubuntu207> worked!
[06:49] <xubuntu207> modprobe givessudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc nothing
[06:52] <xubuntu207> i mean running that command in the terminal results in nothing
[06:54] <xubuntu207> ehm, the wireless adpater works, I just tried it on Windows 7 on another machine.... and on openSUSE 13.1 too
[06:54] <xubuntu207> but I would like to get it working on xubuntu to use with this machine
[06:57] <Unit193> It's in the kernel, don't know why it shouldn't work, but then again never used the device.
[06:58] <Unit193> You could try posting on the forums or askubuntu.
[07:05] <xubuntu207> OK unit193, you're probably right...... It doesn't seem to work on kernels above 3.10... I just updated openSUSE with linux kernel 3.12 and it won't work there either
[07:13] <xubuntu207> exit
[08:42] <Travis> Hot dog!  I can print from MS Word inside Xubuntu.
[10:37] <xubuntu257> Hello everyone, I have a problem with xubuntu. I am not an expert, just an former windows user. When I start xubuntu, it stops and there is a message in the screen "out of range" I tried to search a solution in google but I couldnt...
[10:37] <TheSheep> the message is displayed by your monitor screen, not by ubuntu itself
[10:38] <TheSheep> it means that the resolution that your xubuntu is set too is too hight for your monitor to display
[10:38] <TheSheep> try running it in the safe mode and changing to the right resolution for your screen
[10:41] <xubuntu257> Ok, I try that way I have to check internet to know how.. Now i start xubuntu from usb and it works, I try from here. Thanks for you answer.
[10:41] <TheSheep> I think if you press esc at the boot, it should show you a menu where you can choose to boot in rescue mode
[10:43] <xubuntu257> Ok, I try. Thank you. I'm very lost on this issues...
[10:48] <Junka> esc? I thought the menu is brought up by holding shift or something
[10:58] <ovrflw0x> sound applet doesn't show proper indication of volume, it doesn't show "bar" to increase/decrease volume, how to fix that?
[11:03] <elfy> ovrflw0x: bug 1208204
[11:09] <ovrflw0x> elfy, which fix should i go for?
[11:11] <ovrflw0x> is #5 fix okay?
[11:15] <ovrflw0x> or will updating fix this issue? elfy
[11:17] <elfy> there is no updated fix yet ovrflw0x
[11:18] <ovrflw0x> so should i go for #5 fix?
[11:18] <elfy> http://askubuntu.com/questions/360806/volume-indicator-issue-after-xubuntu-13-10-upgrade/360840#360840
[11:18] <elfy> read the comments as well
[11:19] <Junka> hope it will be fixed soon
[11:20] <ovrflw0x> elfy, what if fix arrives, will i have to change back "Exec" line to what it was before?
[11:20] <elfy> ovrflw0x: using that fix any update to it will change the file as required
[11:21] <ovrflw0x> so no need to worry right?
[11:22] <elfy> should be ok - but if an update to it occurs which breaks it redo the fix, though I don't think it's likely
[11:23] <ovrflw0x> how will i know if update breaks it?
[11:23] <nlsthzn> this issue is thus far the only thing that has effected my 13.10 install... at least the fix is easy :)
[11:23] <elfy> if an update breaks it you'll have no vol indicator again
[11:24] <ovrflw0x> k
[15:26] <Bosi> Hello guys. I have a problem here: The software update window appears here saying that there are 68,5MB to be downloaded, but when I click to install it, it says that I don't have permission. What should I do?
[15:33] <zukeprime> open terminal, run these commands:
[15:33] <zukeprime> sudo apt-get update
[15:33] <zukeprime> sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:33] <zukeprime> close the software update window...you don't need it
[15:34] <Bosi> well... here is the thing, I've done that.
[15:34] <zukeprime> try this:  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:35] <Bosi> but this window keeps popping up saying that there are the 68,5MB to be installed. but when I go through terminal, says that nothing was installed and 4 were not updated.
[15:36] <zukeprime> did you try the dist-upgrade command?
[15:36] <Bosi> just did, seems to have worked.
[15:36] <zukeprime> I feel your pain.  I like the software update window to review updates, etc...but on 13.10 it seems to have been borked
[15:37] <Bosi> zukeprime, can you explain me what does this command line dist-upgrade means?
[15:37] <Bosi> zukeprime, yeah, since I upgraded I've had a lot of issues so far.
[15:39] <zukeprime> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto
[15:39] <Bosi> zukeprime, and thanks for your help by the way.
[15:39] <zukeprime> dist-upgrade is not distribution upgrade...it basically is a smarter conflict resolution scheme
[15:40] <zukeprime> so when conflicts are encountered in a regular upgrade, the dist-upgrade prioritizes so to speak
[15:40] <zukeprime> np
[15:40] <Bosi> haha yeah, the name got me confused.
[15:40] <Bosi> thanks, have a good day!
[15:41] <zukeprime> np Bosi you too
[15:43] <ovrflw0x> zukeprime, where should i put service for systemd in which dir?
[15:46] <zukeprime> lol.  you've quickly exceeded my skill level.  No idea
[15:47] <zukeprime> sorry my friend.  I help where I can...and for this I cannot
[15:53] <ovrflw0x> zukeprime, how can i be your friend when i haven't even seen you
[15:53] <zukeprime> ok then. Sorry pal.  lol
[15:55] <ovrflw0x> not even pal
[15:55] <ovrflw0x> it is same as friend
[16:35] <wrongOS> regular install image wouldn't work, used alternate image for 12.04, it booted to terminal, looked online for solution, followed directions without thinking, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, now I have ubuntu instead of xubuntu, what do?
[16:38] <elfy> wrongOS: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntuprecise
[16:38] <elfy> will remove ubuntu-desktop, instal xubuntu-desktop
[16:39] <wrongOS> thank you. so I do that and then do what I did before but with xubuntu-desktop?
[16:39] <Bosi> Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with the XFCE session. Everytime I restart my pc, it reopens everything that was left opened. I already unmarked the options in "Session and Startup" and clicked to clean sessions saved. And already used the command rm -rfv ~/.cache/sessions/ ... What else am I missing? It is so fuckin annoying to have all my applications left open re-opening on startup.
[16:41] <elfy> wrongOS: if you copy paste the command to remove ubuntu it alos includes the one to install xubuntu-desktop
[16:41] <wrongOS> ah, rad. thank you very much, have a good one
[16:41] <elfy> wrongOS: so start the machine - open a terminal and run it :)
[17:11] <Bosi> Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with the XFCE session. Everytime I restart my pc, it reopens everything that was left opened. I already unmarked the options in "Session and Startup" and clicked to clean sessions saved. And already used the command rm -rfv ~/.cache/sessions/ ... What else am I missing? It is so fuckin annoying to have all my applications left open re-opening on startup.
[17:11] <Travis> I am about to erase & start over.  There's a menu selection in the main menu that is not there, when I go to try to change its properties under "Main Menu"
[17:11] <knome> Bosi, please watch your language; this is a family-friendly channel
[17:12] <Bosi> knome, sorry man.
[17:12] <baizon> Bosi: how do you restart your pc?
[17:13] <Travis> are you kidding me?
[17:14] <Bosi> baizon: by clicking "restart"? is there any specific way to do it?
[17:15] <zukeprime> bosi.  have you looked at settings-->session and startup-->session tab-->clear saved sessions
[17:15] <zukeprime> then save a clean session
[17:16] <zukeprime> whoops...sorry man.  just saw it
[17:16] <baizon> Bosi: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xfce4-session-logout
[17:17] <baizon> Bosi: i've a script which does restart with the "--fast" parameter. This solved my problem
[17:17] <baizon> Bosi: something like "xfce4-session-logout --reboot --fast"
[17:19] <Bosi> I mean, when I did all those things, when I restart, it doesn't reopen the applications. BUT, on the next time I restart, it reopens everything I left opened in that session.
[17:19] <Bosi> baizon, I'll give it a try.
[17:20] <baizon> Bosi: yes had the same issue, this command fixed it for me
[17:20] <Bosi> baizon, great, just finishing a download here, in 5 minutes I'll try it and see if it worked.
[17:21] <zukeprime> Bosi quick check.  When you log out or restart the logout dialogue pops up.  On it is a check box to save sessions.  Have you checked that
[17:21] <Bosi> thanks to all for the help, I really appreciate it.
[17:25] <Travis> I am having an issue with an icon for a program that is no longer installed, still showing up on the menu.  I've tried deleting it via alacarte.  It's still there.
[17:27] <knome> Travis, did you remove that application via a normal package manager?
[17:28] <Travis> I don't think so
[17:28] <Travis> Let me post the error I am getting
[17:28] <knome> !pastebin | Travis
[17:29] <Travis> Failed to execute command...........
[17:29] <Travis> gives me the entire thing.  Yet there is nothing in the "Main Menu" editor to remove it.
[17:29] <knome> Travis, can you answer the question i asked you so i can help you debug the problem?
[17:30] <knome> Travis, what did you remove the application with?
[17:30] <Travis> I responded
[17:30] <Travis> read up
[17:30] <Travis> It appears there's an icon somewhere that was created that I can't find.
[17:31] <knome> Travis, yes, sounds like that; but how did you remove the applications?
[17:31] <knome> -s
[17:31] <Travis> I don't do command line stuff.
[17:31] <Travis> I don't remember how.
[17:31] <knome> did you remove it with synaptic package manager? ubuntu software center?
[17:32] <Travis> What I am saying is that I may have created a shortcut that I can't find to remove.  It looks like an uninstall gone wrong.
[17:33] <knome> ok then, what's the application?
[17:33] <Travis> PlayOnLinux
[17:34] <knome> try finding a .desktop file for that with catfish
[17:34] <Travis> I have it installed & want it kept that way, but want the shortcut created to disappear.  I already have one that I like.
[17:34] <Travis> Did that
[17:34] <Travis> It's active.
[17:34] <Travis> am looking right at it.
[17:35] <Bosi> baizon, so, I might have missed something
[17:35] <Bosi> baizon,  I restarted that way, it worked.... but do I always have to restart that way to make it work? Like, I clicked "restart" with a couple of applications oppened, and they were re-opened on the next session.
[17:36] <knome> adding a row that says "NotShowIn=XFCE" should make that icon disappear from xubuntu's menus
[17:36] <knome> Travis, ^
[17:36] <Travis> That means it's still there
[17:36] <Travis> I can't alter that
[17:36] <baizon> Bosi: well, you can create a menu entry with a custom .desktop file. There you can put it and name it "reboot" for example
[17:36] <Travis> It's for an active program.
[17:36] <Travis> I will have to erase the entire OS and start over.
[17:37] <knome> Travis, no.
[17:37] <knome> Travis, adding that line will mean the icon won't show up in xubuntu's menus.
[17:37] <Travis> That means it's still there, just hidden.
[17:37] <Bosi> baizon, bottom line... this is a really annoying bug, right?
[17:37] <Travis> I want it completely removed.
[17:38] <knome> Travis, then delete the file
[17:38] <baizon> Bosi: yes :)
[17:38] <knome> Travis, but if it's a .desktop file for an installed application, the next update will probably just bring it back.
[17:39] <Bosi> baizon, haha thanks!
[17:40] <Travis> The only way to fix my problem is a total re-install
[17:40] <Travis> SOmething's that screwed up
[17:41] <knome> Travis, nope, that's wrong. but if you think that's the easiest way for you, feel free to do that.
[17:41] <Travis> You aren't understanding the issue.
[17:41] <Travis> There is no .desktop file for this shortcut.
[17:42] <knome> you just said there is and you have it open.
[17:42] <knome> you aren't being logical
[17:42] <Travis> I think you're the one not being logical
[17:42] <Travis> There IS a .desktop file for PlayOnLinux that works.
[17:42] <Travis> Yet, it won't show up in the menu
[17:43] <Travis> The menu shortcut for it has failed and can't be altered via the "Main Menu" in "Menu Settings" for some reason.
[17:43] <Travis> THus, I have to reformat.
[17:43] <knome> if you insist.
[18:26] <Junka> On saucy the first usb I plug in will not be automatically mounted. This happens everytime. It is annoying when I plug in my usb modem, because it does not prompt for PIN password, I have to unplug and plug again to get it work unless ofc I have plug in a usb before where it enabled the 'bug'
[20:11] <Travis> Hello, again
[20:25] <Travis> THis is strange.......I can view Windows shared folders on Xubuntu, but not the other way around.
[20:34] <Haggard> Travis: Linux file managers (and tools like gigolo) tend to build in that support. MS doesn't play nicely with anyone else usually.
[20:34] <Travis> I've gotten it to play nice a while ago :(
[20:34] <Travis> Gotta figure out what I did.
[20:35] <Haggard> Just need to get samba working properly on the linux side so windows sees it.
[20:36] <bekks> Haggard: Then setup a samba server.
[20:36] <Unit193> Travis: Got them on the same workgroup?
[20:36] <Haggard> I hate samba so I won't be able to help. I use ssh exclusively since I don't have a printing need.
[20:37] <Travis> Yes, let me re-install it.  Hang on.
[20:37] <Travis> SOmeone give me a quick reminder on how to make it the same network.
[20:37] <Travis> I did it and forgot how :(
[20:37] <Travis> Damn memory bank is busted hihi
[20:38] <Unit193> In /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:38] <Haggard> Unit193: You didn't ask him if he wanted to edit a text file. lol
[20:39] <Unit193> Haggard: Would you prefer to help?
[20:39] <Travis> ok, I see my Windows machine on Xubuntu
[20:39] <Haggard> Unit193: LOl. I already mentioned not using or liking samba, so no.
[20:39] <Travis> Through smb://, not the regular network.
[20:40] <Travis> time to go share a folder on the Xubuntu machine
[21:04] <Travis> ok after fooling around with other stuff, samba is working so that I can pull files from my Windows machine to my Xubuntu machine.
[21:05] <Travis> I shall fool around with this some more later.
[21:05] <Travis> Off to get some sustinence.
[22:15] <xubuntu271> hey
[22:15] <xubuntu271> i need some help
[22:16] <xubuntu271> hey guys
[22:16] <bekks> xubuntu271: Just ask.
[22:16] <xubuntu271> hoow I get a boner?
[22:16] <bekks> By immediately getting a life.
[22:19] <Unit193> xubuntu271: Not the channel for that, please don't.
[22:19] <xubuntu271> thanks
[22:28] <gdos> ok i installed a program in '/usr/share/program/' and now how do i link it to '/usr/bin/' so that it'll execute ?
[22:30] <bekks> gdos: sudo ln -s /usr/share/program/myprogram /usr/local/bin/myprogram
[22:31] <bekks>  /usr/local/bin/ is in your default path.
[22:33] <gdos> ok. will set tell me what my default path is?
[22:33] <gdos> er, echo $PATH (nevermind, got it)
