Kaapaok, the problem seems to be related to compiz00:10
Kaapaif compiz starts with session start, something with xfce goes wrong00:10
Kaapaif I start with xfwm4 and then replace, works00:11
brainwashKaapa: glad you found the culprit00:18
Kaapastill takes lot of time to log out00:20
Kaapais there a log file around that I can look into?00:20
Kaapa.xsession-errors doesn't report a lot00:20
brainwashusually it does00:20
brainwashor is it 13.10?00:20
Kaapait is00:24
Kaapahttp://kaapa.pastebin.mozilla.org/361229900:25
Kaapaonly has this00:25
GridCubecompiz is not recommended00:27
Kaapayeah, I guess00:27
Kaapabut personally it's a performance booster :S00:28
brainwashKaapa: check ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log00:31
brainwashcompiz isn't the cause of the delayed logout, right?00:32
Kaapathat's the command to pastebin from console?00:34
brainwashcheck like "you should check this logfile instead"00:35
Kaapano, I undestood :)00:35
Kaapajust doesn  seem very healthy00:36
Kaapahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/6423934/00:36
brainwashright, high amount of warnings and so on00:37
Kaapawell, this is kind'a back to normal00:38
Kaapaweird...00:38
Kaapawell, thanks for the help00:39

Mitizaroanybody here?11:51
cfhowlettMitizaro, greetings11:51
Mitizarothank u11:52
Mitizaroi have a GRUB question11:52
Mitizarocan u give me a hand a bit? :)11:52
cfhowlettMitizaro, I'll try11:52
Mitizarothank u!!11:52
cfhowlettgrub is not my strongest ...11:52
Mitizaroso i have VectorLinux 7,  but just installed  XUBUNTU 13.1011:52
bekks7 lines and still no question... :P11:52
cfhowlettbekks, better than the jackhole who entered the other with a hearty "Hello B*****s!"11:53
cfhowlettother DAY11:53
bekksIndeed11:53
Mitizarostill i used to have linux Mint 9  ISADORA, but the GRUB somehow finds it corrupted (didnt install VL properly to save the Mint9)   -- thats not a problem. But after installing XUBUNTU -- i neither see it in the GRUB menu during "the choice for boot", neither does hitting the MINT 9 slot loads it (cuz its in the (former) MINT 9 partition)11:54
Mitizaromy question is - how do i add XUBUNTU 13.10 in the GRUB menu from Vector Linux? (given that it is located in the former MINT 9 Partition,  and that the GRUB choice for Mint 9 was corrupted)11:55
cfhowlettMitizaro, WAY more grub issues than I can deal with. Ask here or in #ubuntu.11:55
Mitizarookay to simplyfy it - how can i add XUBUNTU 13.10 to the grub menu11:56
elfyboot vector and update grub from there I'd assume as a first option11:57
elfyalso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_211:57
cfhowlettelfy, wouldn't the most recently installed grub take priority?11:57
elfycfhowlett: possibly - hence the grub install page :)11:58
=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash
elfyyou 'should I assume' be able to reinstall the grub for vector somehow, then you'll be able to update it and it should find xubuntu11:59
Mitizaroyes11:59
Mitizarothats what i'm trying to do11:59
elfyMitizaro: read the wiki - all the issues I've ever had I've dealt with using the options on there12:01

Mitizaroso it has to be manual12:14

Mitizarothank u, now i'm gonna restart and see what happens12:16
cfhowlettGuerilla, the newest version has a  month life cycle.  LTS has 5 years on the desktop and a new verion coming April.  Your choice12:17
elfycfhowlett: they've gone :)12:18
cfhowlettHope they chose wisely12:19
elfygood job they don't think that 13.10 only has a month life cycle though :D12:19

cfhowlettMitizaro, no error messages = no way to analyze your issue12:20
Mitizaroand then black screen -- keyboard's caps lock and the second green lamp - pinging on/off12:20
Mitizaroi guess i didn't install it properly - gotta secure the valuable files here, and i'm gonna install XUB in "auto install" and erase everything with it (i have VL's disc too)12:21
bekksMitizaro: Thats a kernel panic then.12:21
Mitizarolol12:21
Mitizarowhat?12:21

Mitizaroit will probably be okay if12:22
Mitizaroi just reinstall XUB on ALL of the hard?12:23

Donnie_Darko21hello can someone tell where where i can adjust the brightness for my lap top got 13.1017:55
holsteinDonnie_Darko21: i use the keyboard shortcuts, and they "just work" on most of my intel hardware machines.. this functionality may depend on the graphics driver or driver support from the manufacturer17:56
TheSheepDonnie_Darko21: hello again, you should have keys for that in the top row of your laptop's keyboard17:56
Donnie_Darko21oh when i press FN plus for high lights17:56
Donnie_Darko21it wont let me to make it high17:56
holsteinDonnie_Darko21: is it adjusting it at all?17:57
Donnie_Darko21yes17:57
Donnie_Darko21but 1 sec17:57
Donnie_Darko21and back again to low lights17:57
holsteinif so, then the issue is not "i need to adjust brightness".. occasionally, i have added a kernel line to get the screen brighter.. or used a different or more suitabe driver17:57
TheSheepDonnie_Darko21: can you open a terminal, run 'xrandr' in it and pastebin the result at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?17:58
holsteinDonnie_Darko21: so, you brighten the screen, and when idle, the screen dims? if so, that is a setting in power management17:58
Donnie_Darko21hmm in ubuntu was called brighness and was at seeting or tweak17:58
holsteinDonnie_Darko21: xubuntu *is* ubuntu17:58
Donnie_Darko21yes but cant find it17:58
Donnie_Darko21in settings or tweak17:58
holsteinDonnie_Darko21: the setting im referring to is in the powermanagement.. for dimming the screen whed idle17:58
Donnie_Darko21i see but its not power managment from power on the lap top the default lights is low17:59

ballPleasantly surprised, mind.18:55
Donnie_Darko21yeah but really its very bad always its wrong with adobe and why they dont to it .deb file18:56
Donnie_Darko21if i m not wrong which was it for converting into deb file ... rpm to deb ?18:57
