[00:16] lnostdal, if you're using 13.10, i'd suggest reading the release ntoes. [00:16] i heard about the volume indicator or something, but thought that was the only one with problems .. but i'll check the notes again [00:17] well basically, there are problems with many indicators (the panel only supports gtk2 indicators, and we don't have them all ported to gtk3, and some that are aren't working) [00:17] ok [00:20] i got 2 pidgin icons, 3 battery indicator icons .. 1 wlan icon .. heh .. i have to click them all - one by one, to see what's what x) [00:20] ohwell, thanks [00:20] hey can anybody tell what script is loaded right after loading X? something similar to /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsetup [00:21] on xfce [00:22] lnostdal, check if you have both the indicator area and the messaging area (or whatever they are called) === makimac_ is now known as makimac [03:19] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sknmuBB7VbX__bhMJ0ehTdsZ839TlCSXTdYPP08KEQg/edit [03:19] posted questions there, please let me know if u can help or where else to post [03:53] I had a folder open, and somehow disabled the top 'ribbon' that shows FILE, EDIT, etc. How do I turn it back on, so that I can see it?

[07:14] Hi [07:15] I wanted to install ubuntu 13.10 and I didnt like it, I decided to reinstall xubuntu 13.04 and when I install it after reboot it gives me " reboot and select proper boot device" I never had this problem before. What do I do? [07:52] sounds like it didnt install the boot loader to the correct dive. boot from live disk and install boot-repair, then run boot-repair. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair === map is now known as Guest76693 [08:52] Hi and thank you in advance. I am looking for best distro for multi media, like the look of xubuntu would it handle hd video? Would be used on both desktop Laptop [09:34] what's the value of "Force fonts DPI" in xubuntu?

[11:41] Hello friends....Plz help me...i just now installed xubuntu...but i am getting a small screen [11:41] how to ger complete screen?

[11:47] Can u tell me how to set screen resolution here? [11:48] any one here to help me plz? [11:49] debasis: Yiu need to install the graphics driver. [11:50] can u give me the link plz? [11:50] i dont know how to do...plz help me a little [11:50] I dont know which graohics hardware you have. [11:52] I'm having a lot of difficulty finding documentation on Xubuntu and it's Macbook Pro support. [11:53] There is a lot of documentation out there for vanilla Ubunut, but it seems to be based around a custom distribution of that release. [11:53] Does anyone know if Xubuntu supports Apple hardware? [11:53] cenal_: It does, the same as Ubuntu. [11:54] bekks: I'm not having luck finding an ISO purpose built for Mac like I did with Ubuntu, is there a link you can share? [11:54] cenal_: just install ubuntu, and xubuntu-desktop afterwards. [11:55] AFAIK xubuntu should boot from CD on mac [11:55] It does, the same as Ubuntu. [11:55] bekks: I've been trying to build a USB installer following the instructions from the Ubuntu website because the CD drive is busted on this Macbook Pro 3,1 (2007 Santa Rosa) model Macbook Pro. [11:56] It gets to the efi loader screen and says it will take a few minutes to boot, but it never does. [11:56] I'm using a Linux friendly EFI enhancement tool called refind (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/) [11:59] I'd get a usb cd/dvd drive [12:00] From what I've read only an Apple Superdrive is bootable by the EFI loader on a Macbook Pro [12:01] cenal_: That may apply, yes. [12:01] It's too old to sink any money into. [12:02] apple firmware has bios emulation, but I don't know how does it apply for usb optical drives [12:03] Sorry...i think this xubuntu is not suit for me...i have to change to ubuntu again [12:03] Have you ever used a USB install for xubuntu on a Macbook Pro before? [12:04] debasis: On Ubuntu, you have to install a graphics drivver as well. [12:04] no bekks...i already told u...i have ubuntu before....and there i was getting the full screen desktop [12:05] debasis: Your keyboard is broken. It repeats the . key 3 to 4 times everytime you press it once. [12:05] i didnt used any hardware extra there...i hard used Linux mint also...there also i didnt face any problem [12:06] debasis: Please stop using "..." instead proper punctuation. [12:06] Sorry. [12:06] !puregnome | debasis [12:06] debasis: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [12:07] whats that? [12:07] a way to return to ubuntu only [12:07] I need to know how to set the screen resolution here? [12:08] any one know about it? [12:08] you said you want to go back to ubuntu [12:08] Install the graphics driver required. [12:08] sure, use xrandr [12:08] im telling like that, bcoz i am not getting a solution here [12:08] or arandr if you need a GUI [12:09] debasis, solutions dont happen instantaneously, be patient, people are try ing to help you [12:09] yes, i have patience === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam [12:10] debasis, so try some of the solutions we mentioned [12:10] But who ever is trying to help me, plz give me the way to set the resolution? [12:10] debasis: We offered at least two solutions already. [12:10] debasis, several have already been made, try some [12:10] Not sure if I got disconnected momentarily so this might be a repost to an answered question but here goes: has anyone on here successfully created a USB bootable disk of Xubuntu that works on a Macbook Pro? [12:11] xrandr? [12:16] debasis, or arandr if you need a gui [12:17] ok.i am trying in xrandr [12:17] actually i dont know what are these [12:17] im searching from internet [12:19] xrandr is command line, so if thats too difficult install the GUI arandr === makimac_ is now known as makimac [12:39] hi, I try to add some programm to start menu, but it is always addes to the (I think in englisch called) "misc" group. [12:54] any ideas? [13:19] irgendwer4711: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html [13:20] hm my application isnt categorized? [13:21] you will have to edit the .desktop file directly I assume [13:21] and add the "Categories=" line [13:22] in which folder are the files? [13:23] most likely in ~/.local/share/applications [13:24] yes [13:24] that mean, alacarte is missing important parameters [15:21] hello ppl i m in /usr/lib/ and now i see firefox ,firefox addons ,flashplugin instaler and mozilla i want to copy and paste flashplugin so where to paste ? [15:26] anyone ? [15:26] !patience | Donnie_Darko21 [15:26] Donnie_Darko21: 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/ [15:27] yeah ok :) sorry [15:28] just want to complete this beautiful os flash,java [15:46] Is Xubuntu substantially faster than Ubuntu? The Xubuntu page doesn't make much of a sales pitch this OS. [15:47] it can be - it is for me :) [15:47] That's good to hear. Does it bootup faster? [15:48] not especially so - but I'm generally in the kitchen waiting for the kettle then ;) [15:49] Anybody else think this OS is or is not faster than Ubuntu? [15:50] Also I'm interested to know if it can be run as live everytime, like puppy. Puppy is just too limited for me. [15:50] xubuntu it is faster ram speed etc and is for low pc the new ubuntu need at least 2 gb ram [15:50] you can run it live - persistence you want [15:51] i have 8 gb ram so not problem there. i just notice that applications opened from puppy open very immediately. from ubunutu, not so much. [15:52] I'd suspect you'd see them open much quicker in xubuntu [15:52] lol u got 8gb ram i got 2gb ram and i used ubuntu 12.04 for a long time was fast but not so fast :) [15:53] i might be a little impatient and obsessed with speed [15:54] damn i hate this flash ... when i try to ./install_plugin i got some error Installing from local file cp: cannot stat ‘’: No such file or directory [15:55] what the fuc is wrong with flash how do you install flash omg [16:02] omg [16:02] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [16:02] you have version 11,2,202,327 installed [16:03] and why is telling be that my adoble flash is vulnerable ? [16:03] who's telling you that? [16:03] addons [16:04] Linux Mozilla, Firefox, SeaMonkey (Flash Player 11.2 is the last supported Flash Player version for Linux. Adobe will continue to provide security updates.) 11.2.202.327 [16:04] i got 327 now [16:04] but why is still red [16:04] i want to be green :) [16:04] whats wrong ? [16:04] ask the mozilla guys [16:05] or install chrome and enjoy the latest flash player evrsion [16:05] cant understand [16:06] but its says 327 is the latest version [16:06] you should ask the developers of firefox about this issue [16:06] i got installed latest version [16:06] i installed in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [16:07] and got 2 files now the libflashplayer.so [16:07] and the flashplugin-alternative [16:07] yes right, but we don't know why firefox flags this version as being vulnerable [16:08] did adobe have irc ? [16:08] adobe does not care, you will have to ask the mozilla devs [16:08] they provide the update check [16:09] oh they are on freenode > [16:09] ? [16:09] https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC [16:10] thanks [16:10] just checked, #firefox does exist on this server [16:10] so try to ask there first [16:29] lol some guy who use windows telling me to install from apt [16:37] Donnie_Darko21: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2176235 [16:39] :) [16:39] i will paste to firefox bc they making me to go to ubuntu [16:57] take care ppl adobe its not important to linux or firefox [16:57] lol [17:47] how do I import vlc sources into xubunt 13.10?

[17:50] yes [17:51] is the latest available for saucy... [17:51] ? [17:51] perhaps change sources to a few releases earlier [17:51] or use the one packaged for 13.10 [17:51] from the main repo? [17:51] after the upgrade, I just changed the nickname of the 13.04 release for saucy [17:52] perhaps it isn't updated yet [17:52] that is how it seems [17:54] thats a ppa [17:54] so check the ppa page in question [17:55] changing the release name wont do much good [17:56] hi, could someone tell me why xfce-power-manager is ignoring my options - i mean i have selected that when i close the lid it should just turn off display - but it making my notebook sleep instead - same with sleep/hibernate/power buttons - i have other actions than it is doing [17:56] i have ubuntu 13.10 x86-64 with xfce desktop - so i guess it is right to ask here (xubuntu) [17:57] also it was working fine for the last 2? or 3 years - it went down when i upgraded to 13.10 [17:59] https://launchpad.net/~n-muench/+archive/vlc , deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/n-muench/vlc/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main , my varsion, ist it 13.10? saucy? saucy.salamander?

[18:08] brauleinchen: that is not official ppa - you should not use when official ones are available [18:09] brauleinchen: after pasting that line just do sudo apt-get update (it will reload your repos) and later can do sudo apt-get upgrade (will install updates if available) - same can be done via synapti (reload button) [18:09] synaptic* [18:10] meomic, im on it [18:17] oops.
