| Mapley | Just wondering, is there a way to adjust item spacing in Thunar? | 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| CountryfiedLinux | There's no HDMI audio. Any suggestions? | 00:29 |
| GridCube | CountryfiedLinux, in pavucontrol, choose the output device to hdmi for the particular sound stream you want to listen | 00:36 |
| Haggard | Mapley: I haven't tried it but there's a thread on archlinux that might solve this for you. Check out: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1033063#p1033063 | 00:37 |
| Haggard | CountryfiedLinux: Also, older kernels didn't have it implemented if using radeon based graphics. There's a boot option you can add to grub, depending on kernel version. | 00:39 |
| CountryfiedLinux | GridCube, audio still doesn't come out | 00:39 |
| GridCube | :/ i had to change cpus because my old one died on me, this one im using now had a working internal audio device, however after installing my vga card the system only recognizes the hdmi sound output and not the standard one | 00:39 |
| Mapley | Hrm, I'll check it out. | 00:41 |
| GridCube | no luck | 01:19 |
| GridCube | :( | 01:19 |
| JDLafk | hey can anyone help with choppy sound on a dell inpiron mini netbook, can anyone advise? | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | JDLafk: does the choppiness change when you move the lid? (the wires live in the hinge, they tend to go, I had choppy, now no more sound on my dell mini) | 02:24 |
| JDLafk | oh lame I do have a busted hinge, but it never affected sound before I installed xubuntu this afternoon | 02:25 |
| pleia2 | that's all I've got | 02:26 |
| audrey | hi, i'm having an issue on xubuntu 13.10. i rebooted and suddenly my resolution is 640x480 on a single display out of three and nvidia-settings says that i do not have their driver in use. nvidia-319 is the driver i installed and removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and running nvidia-xconfig as root did not solve the issue. | 02:33 |
| holstein | audrey: i would probably start by booting an older kernel | 02:33 |
| audrey | don't have one | 02:33 |
| audrey | actually i might | 02:34 |
| audrey | gonna try that | 02:34 |
| audrey | no luck | 02:37 |
| audrey | any other ideas guy i was just talking to? | 02:38 |
| holstein | audrey: i would reinstall the driver.. i would try other kernels.. i would test with a live CD.. i would test as a different user | 02:39 |
| audrey | reinstalling the driver did nothing | 02:39 |
| holstein | audrey: ok.. thats one | 02:40 |
| holstein | audrey: did you try *all* the kernels in your grub? does a live CD work? did you try as another user? | 02:40 |
| holstein | audrey: did you try setting the resolution? | 02:40 |
| audrey | the nvidia driver isn't in use | 02:40 |
| audrey | need to figure that one out | 02:40 |
| holstein | audrey: got it.. the kernel you are using may not allow it to be loading | 02:41 |
| audrey | how do i check? | 02:41 |
| JDLafk | pleia2, thank you anyway | 02:41 |
| holstein | audrey: i can tell you how i check.. i check a live CD to see that the hardware is functioning properly.. i check as another user to make sure the user config is not the issue.. i test with the vesa driver specified in xorg.conf or whatever | 02:42 |
| audrey | holstein: http://p.pomf.se/2113 | 02:44 |
| holstein | audrey: how is it with the live CD? | 02:45 |
| audrey | works | 02:45 |
| audrey | i'm out of ideas holstein | 02:59 |
| holstein | audrey: i know, these days, since it takes about 8 minutes to reinstall, i usually dont hesitate.. but, i feel you could probably sort this out | 03:00 |
| audrey | holstein: | 03:09 |
| audrey | i updated my headers then purged nvidia-current then reinstalled them then ran nvidia-xconfig then grub-update and it fixed the issue after a reboot. | 03:09 |
| holstein | audrey: congrats | 03:10 |
| audrey | i is smart | 03:10 |

| xubuntu602 | Hi, can someone recommend an up to date guide for manually installing Xubuntu on a UEFI system with LVM? | 04:27 |
| danielmatt | anyone had any luck using /etc/vnc/xstartup to start xfce4? | 04:27 |
| xubuntu602 | I used to know how to do manual installs, but so much has changed now with UEFI, LVM, BtrFS. | 04:29 |
| xubuntu602 | I've tried and failed to figure it out by looking at docs for the different components. | 04:30 |
| danielmatt | Beyond me - sorry man | 04:31 |
| xubuntu602 | No apologies :) Unless you work for the people who designed UEFI lol. I'm wondering if I should just forget about btrfs for now and let the auto installer do it's thing. | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu602: Guessing you can't, or don't want to, use legacy BIOS mode? | 04:40 |

| AndyNewbie | tired to sudo apt-get install the lsb package but says this is not possible | 08:32 |
| AndyNewbie | any ideas ? | 08:32 |

| cfhowlett | on 12.04 | 08:33 |
| ObrienDave | and 13.10 | 08:33 |
| ObrienDave | just installed it ;) | 08:33 |
| AndyNewbie | umm maybe its my fat fingers on the keyboard ! | 08:34 |
| AndyNewbie | pressing the wrong buttons | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | Apparently I don't need it for my HP printers ... | 08:34 |
| AndyNewbie | ill try again should be a "sudo apt-get install ?" | 08:34 |
| ObrienDave | na, I use hplip | 08:34 |
| cfhowlett | AndyNewbie, try apt-cache search lsb first | 08:34 |
| AndyNewbie | sadly the HP printers so far dont do A3 scanning | 08:35 |
| AndyNewbie | umm shows lots of differing lsb's im assuming the one I need to install is the lsb-printing module | 08:36 |
| ObrienDave | what size is A3? | 08:36 |
| cfhowlett | 11 x 16 inch I think | 08:37 |
| AndyNewbie | old money sizes ! | 08:37 |
| ObrienDave | I think HP makes one that large. not sure. USA "B" size | 08:37 |
| AndyNewbie | well in home sized inkjet so far they dont (home office) in the big lasers they do | 08:38 |
| AndyNewbie | get the following when installing the lsb -printing package :- | 08:39 |

| AndyNewbie | somwhat annoying as need to print some drawings for a meeting with an architect tomorrow grr ...... looks like somthings been changed | 08:47 |
| AndyNewbie | in the update | 08:47 |
| AndyNewbie | I think im going to have to roll back to the lts version of xbuntu | 08:54 |
| AndyNewbie | ahh found this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/lsb/4.1+Debian11ubuntu4 | 08:55 |
| PiiiRKO | why? | 08:55 |
| AndyNewbie | cant get the lsb package to install to allow me to use the previously working ok epson printer | 08:55 |
| PiiiRKO | AndyNewbie: its weird.. it should work on the newest versions too.. | 08:56 |
| AndyNewbie | I guess so (my linux knowledge is somwhat limited !) | 08:57 |
| AndyNewbie | im just running out of time to mess around with the PC | 08:57 |
| PiiiRKO | AndyNewbie: and your epson printer doesnt have driver for linux?.. | 08:58 |
| AndyNewbie | yes it does but will not install due to Lsb depednacy which I cant seem to satisfy | 08:58 |
| PiiiRKO | AndyNewbie: then.. youre right.. :( | 08:59 |

| AndyNewbie | tried to install the lsb package but downloads as a tar when opening lots of sub direcotries files not a single .deb | 09:19 |

| baizon | PiiiRKO: http://linuxg.net/how-to-use-netflix-on-ubuntu-13-04/ | 09:33 |
| baizon | PiiiRKO: or you can use pipelight ( http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html ) | 09:33 |
| * cfhowlett "compholio" ? Really? | 09:33 | |
| ObrienDave | well, that's what I use for netflix ;P | 09:34 |
| PiiiRKO | I dont want it for netflix.. in my country.. its not supported.. | 09:34 |
| PiiiRKO | I want it for some videos on website.. | 09:34 |
| PiiiRKO | it offers me alternative.. some MONO program.. | 09:35 |
| baizon | PiiiRKO: then use pipelight (second link i posted) | 09:35 |
| PiiiRKO | never heard about it.. | 09:35 |
| PiiiRKO | baizon: I will try it.. | 09:35 |
| cfhowlett | PiiiRKO, firefox + Media Hint addon = Hulu | 09:36 |
| PiiiRKO | cfhowlett: yes.. I use it for pandora :)) | 09:37 |
| PiiiRKO | that pipelight is quite big.. 160 mb :D | 09:37 |
| ObrienDave | PiiiRKO, if you like Pandora, try Pithos. no ads ;)) | 09:38 |

| mapito | ah right thanks for the reply | 10:31 |
| AndyNewbie | really must learn more about the terminal messages but checking the lsb package in the software centre seems to have done the trick as it offered to repair pre installing more software | 10:31 |
| mapito | really quite annoying...I've followed the docs on the official site and googled for installing from source..but still getting problems;( | 10:31 |
| AndyNewbie | thanks for the pointers thou chaps as feel the attempt at installing lsb had an effect | 10:31 |
| ObrienDave | glad we could help | 10:32 |
| AndyNewbie | ps I agree with you chaps ive an old thinkpad x61 and xbuntu runs a treat on it much faster than the works laptop (newer with windows vista urrgh and broken windows install ! ) | 10:33 |

| mapito | i guess its no surproise everything mentions using apt/yum | 10:39 |
| mapito | must be a pain doing it from source.followed step by step and get errors which dont make sense :) | 10:40 |
| ObrienDave | mapito, why not install the mariaDB PPA? would save a BUNCH of hassle | 10:41 |

| cfhowlett | #xubuntu | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | #xubuntu-dev | 12:17 |
| Yinon | Where should I go? | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, look on the page for support options ... | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpContents | 12:19 |
| Yinon | I will try, but are you sure you dont have the answers for me? | 12:20 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, sounds like a wiki issue so see the wiki instructions ... | 12:21 |
| Yinon | But im not the manager of the site... | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | ah! | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | You DO have a login, right? | 12:21 |
| Yinon | I dont wanna to create a web page, just submit a wallapaer | 12:21 |
| Yinon | I have a login to the site | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, you must have an ubuntuone login to upload to the page ... | 12:22 |
| Yinon | I have, I logged in | 12:22 |
| Yinon | but submitting right is just complexed | 12:23 |
| Yinon | it's just not simple as I expected | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, and that's why they supply the help menus. All those other photographers before you managed, so I'm confident you can do it as well. | 12:24 |
| Yinon | Are you sure that I need to edit the page by my own? learn how to work with it while all I wanted is suggesting an image to xubuntu 14.04? | 12:25 |
| Yinon | What happened to the "upload" button, give a title and have fun? | 12:25 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, it's a wiki. that's how they work. | 12:26 |
| Yinon | It's still very confusing for uploading an image, no one is showing how to suggest a picture, just saying they want | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, your feelings are valid. Nothing I can do, but the xubuntu team needs to know. Send them a message. (Of course, they won't change anything for THIS development cycle ...) | 12:28 |
| Yinon | OK, but, where can I suggest them improving the way of wallpaper-suggestions ? | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, I'd suggest you use some of the options on http://xubuntu.org/help/ | 12:32 |
| Yinon | That how I came here... , oh wait, just changing the title of this IRC chat to "#xubuntu-offtopic" ? | 12:33 |
| knome | Yinon, please take the time to learn how to add an image to the wiki page | 12:36 |
| knome | Yinon, there are plenty of examples, you should be able to figure it out | 12:36 |
| Yinon | I'm breaking my head now, didnt expect that at all | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, no you have join the other channel. /join #xubuntu-offtopic | 12:37 |
| Yinon | How do I move to off-topic?? | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, for the record, editing the wiki for your entry is about as difficult as editing a libreoffice writer document | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | Yinon, /join #xubuntu-offtopic | 12:38 |
| Yinon | no, maybe for a user who already did it once | 12:38 |
| Yinon | Im there | 12:38 |
| Yinon | Thank you all, I made it ^^ | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | uploaded? | 14:32 |
| Yinon | yes, and the guys in off-topic also helped editing it right | 14:32 |
| Yinon | how is it now? | 14:32 |
| cfhowlett | niiiiiiiice | 14:32 |
| Yinon | Thanks! | 14:34 |
| Yinon | Glad you like it ^^ | 14:34 |
| Yinon | Im the pixel art. right? maybe you mean the octopus (: | 14:35 |
| audrey | xu bun tu | 14:37 |
| Yinon | ? | 14:42 |
| Yinon | I had a teacher with the name Audrey | 14:42 |
| Yinon | she was french/canadian | 14:42 |
| knome | !offtopic | 14:42 |

| Yinon | off topic! just kidding (: nice | 14:44 |
| hannesenator | Hello people, i have a problem with installing MATLAB on my xubuntu 13.10-laptop. It seems it doesnt support the Consistent Network Device Naming | 16:56 |
| hannesenator | Is there any easy/safe way to disable this and return to the older standard of naming it? | 16:56 |
| audrey | i used to know how to disable it on gentoo | 16:58 |
| audrey | hannesenator: did you manually enable the new device naming? it's not enabled for me by default on 13.10 | 16:58 |
| hannesenator | I guess i rather want to disable the new naming stuff | 16:59 |
| audrey | hannesenator: you should be able to google how to disable it it's not hard | 17:02 |
| hannesenator | I threw a few queries at google, wasnt sure on what i wanted to search for though | 17:03 |
| audrey | hannesenator: disabling new device naming scheme or whatever it wascalled | 17:05 |
| hannesenator | Will do another round :) | 17:06 |
| hannesenator | ty | 17:06 |
| hannesenator | Solved it, wasnt even about the naming convention (it doesnt seem to be installed at all). Was just a rather silly case of renaming the network device | 17:18 |
| jazzme | hello, I recently installed xfce on top of a server os...after a long while the screen displays the log in and after logging in my running apps are all shutdown...it is like I rebooted...how can I disable this behavior? | 17:21 |
| ObrienDave | could be power manager and/or screensaver settings | 17:27 |
| jazzme | hmmm....ok....It is not obvious when I look around...I have the same desktop on another pc and I don't get this behavior. | 17:28 |
| xubuntu480 | I am running xubuntu 13.10 from a USB pen drive and would like to continue running that way. Is there a way to disable the delayed startup process/display screen showing "Try xubuntu". I always want to run it from pendrive not install to hard drive. So I always need to select "Try xubuntu" | 18:01 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu480, you are running a "live" system disc, you need to burn the ISO to a DVD and install it to the USB | 18:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Why not use one usb to install onto anothere | 18:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What ObrienDave said | 18:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That's how I installed LinuxMint on my netbook. Used a 4gb usb to install it on a 16gb micro stick. | 18:03 |
| ObrienDave | you should be able to do that. other users have had trouble going from USB to USB | 18:03 |
| xubuntu480 | Thanks Dave. What is the min pendrive. I have a 16GB but would prefer to use smaller. | 18:04 |
| ObrienDave | 4GB would be the minimum. but that would NOT give you "persistence" | 18:04 |
| xubuntu480 | I need persistence so sounds like 8 GB min | 18:04 |
| ObrienDave | yes, no smaller than 8 | 18:05 |
| xubuntu480 | I can't run the ISO from HD and install to USB? I wonder why | 18:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | the 4gb was just for the live session. I wasn't going for persistence | 18:05 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | The 16gb has the full install | 18:06 |
| ObrienDave | I use a few 16s for various pen drive installs | 18:06 |
| xubuntu480 | I hardly ever use DVD anymore | 18:06 |
| ObrienDave | you should boot the LIVE from DVD to install to USB stick. easiest way I know of | 18:07 |
| xubuntu480 | OK... I'll run with that. My DVD recorder sits in a closet for only occassional use. : ) | 18:08 |
| ObrienDave | I have a few DVD-RWs I use for installs ;) | 18:08 |
| xubuntu480 | Thanks much... I am new to linux/xubuntu. Was hoping to get Plex going but not as easy as I hoped. | 18:09 |
| ObrienDave | let us know how it went :)) | 18:09 |
| xubuntu480 | I have a linux based NAS (Synology) that is too underpowered to support a Plex module, so trying to access it from another computer running Plex. | 18:10 |
| ObrienDave | not familiar with plex, sorry | 18:10 |
| xubuntu480 | Thanks so much for the generous help! cheers | 18:11 |
| ObrienDave | welcome | 18:11 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | hello | 18:24 |
| ObrienDave | greetings | 18:24 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | Hello, I'm having a problem with ubuntu apport... It is not sending bugs to launchpad anymore... normally it open firefox at launchpad, but just 2 week it does not do it | 18:25 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | ops.. | 18:25 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | Hello, I'm having a problem with ubuntu apport... | 18:26 |
| ObrienDave | maybe no bugs to report? | 18:27 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | no... | 18:27 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | apport pop-up, then I click to send information, but firefox is not opening... | 18:27 |
| ObrienDave | ahh, not sure if it bypasses firefox. mine never opened firefox | 18:28 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | just now, I have an problem with xorg, | 18:28 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | but normally, it open Firefox to you file a bug... | 18:28 |
| ObrienDave | ok, i'll take your word on that. not sure really | 18:29 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | or, at least, do an "this bug is affecting me too" | 18:29 |
| elfy | sergiobenrocha2: what version of Xubuntu? | 18:32 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I've been getting xorg crashes after login. But Apport seems to send the reports. | 18:32 |
| elfy | I assume not the dev version, afaik it is disabled on release | 18:33 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | xubuntu 13.10 | 18:33 |
| elfy | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport#How_to_enable_apport | 18:33 |
| elfy | I know it is currently disabled in 14.04 - my crashdb.conf has 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'], without the # and doesn't work either | 18:34 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | humm, it's right, i tried in ubuntu 14.04 daily build and it not work too | 18:35 |
| elfy | and adding the # allows apport to work here with the # | 18:36 |
| elfy | but there is a reason that it's disabled - so read the wiki :) | 18:36 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | humm, ok | 18:39 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | but i don't care about "sensitive data"... | 18:41 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | i want to help the ubuntu development, such others apps | 18:41 |
| elfy | sergiobenrocha2: that's fine - I'm just saying - you do what you want with it :) | 18:41 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | are there other problem? | 18:42 |
| elfy | sergiobenrocha2: I'd guess that Number 2 in that section is what they are really driving at - it's entirely possible that even though you send the bug report nothing will be done with it | 18:43 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | humm... so report bug in a stable release is no usefull? But, bug report could be usefull for a next release of ubuntu, like 14.04... or not? | 18:46 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | for example, xubuntu 14.04 will use xfce 4.10 probably, and I'm using xubuntu, and I saw many bugs and inconsistent things in GUI... | 18:48 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | sorry for my english... | 18:48 |
| elfy | your english is fine :) | 18:51 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | but so... is usefull report but here at least for thigs go fix in the next release? such xubuntu 14.04? | 18:53 |
| elfy | if you want to help with 14.04 testing that's great - but it'd be better to do it from 14.04, maybe a vm or something | 18:54 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | but the is trusty's daily build [now] really 14.04? I say that because it seems it is 13.10 with "proposed" repository enabled... | 18:56 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | *but is the [...] | 18:56 |
| bazhang | 14.04 is #ubuntu+1 | 18:56 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | is this a irc channel? | 18:57 |
| bazhang | for 13.10 and below | 18:57 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for all 14.04 | 18:58 |
| sergiobenrocha2 | great | 18:58 |
| elfy | bazhang: he has 13.10 - I'm dragging it offtopic a bit ;) | 18:58 |
| bazhang | elfy, my apologies | 18:58 |
| elfy | that's ok :) | 18:58 |
| elfy | bazhang: I get so few people talking about testing I forget where I am :) | 19:00 |
| bazhang | :) | 19:00 |
| audrey | xu bun tu | 19:16 |
| knome | audrey, do you have a support question? | 19:16 |
| nikolam | dunno why cursor sometimes tun int a fist/hand I can not click anymore. 32bit 12.04.3 LTS Xubuntu | 20:10 |
| knome | nikolam, if you drag it around, does it drag the window around? | 20:11 |
| nikolam | knome, nope | 20:11 |
| knome | if you click the mouse, does the cursor return to normal? | 20:11 |
| nikolam | it is not new to my 12.04 install, but I am just reporting it now, used to be more often before | 20:12 |
| nikolam | no. it stays like hand and can not click | 20:12 |
| nikolam | i solve it by stopping and starting lightdm, thta restart everything | 20:12 |
| knome | nikolam, i've no idea, it doesn't sound like a known/usual bug. try searching LP for a similar one, and if you can't find one, report one | 20:13 |
| nikolam | thanks knome | 20:13 |

| infamy | Hi. I'm trying to hook up my laptop via HDMI to my flatscreen to be able to display Netflix on the TV. When I hook up the HDMI cable, it says No Input still, as if nothing was plugged up at all. It works in Windows, so I'm assuming I don't have something set correctly. Is there anyone available that could please assist? | 22:31 |
| TheSheep | infamy: sure, can you open a terminal, type `xrandr` in it (without the `) and pastebin the output at http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 22:32 |
| infamy | Sure, sec. | 22:32 |
| infamy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6445194/ | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | hmm, it doesn't seem to see your HDMI output at all | 22:34 |
| TheSheep | that's with the cable connected? | 22:34 |
| infamy | No, it's not currently. Connected. Let me connect it quickly, sec. | 22:35 |
| infamy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6445200/ | 22:36 |
| infamy | ^ connected | 22:36 |
| GridCube | infamy, whats your need? | 22:37 |
| infamy | I need to hookup HDMI from laptop to tv to view Netflix. | 22:38 |
| GridCube | mmhm, and you cant? | 22:38 |
| infamy | No. When I plug it up, it's not sending anything to the tv under uxbuntu. | 22:39 |
| infamy | On Windows it will though | 22:39 |
| infamy | xubuntu* | 22:39 |
| GridCube | infamy, your computer has a fn key to cycle between different setups, doesnt it? | 22:40 |
| TheSheep | infamy: can you check what graphics card you have with `lspci | grep VGA` ? | 22:40 |
| infamy | GridCube: yes | 22:40 |
| infamy | TheSheep: sure | 22:41 |
| GridCube | have you tried them? | 22:41 |
| infamy | GridCube: When I press it, only laptop shows up. No otther options. | 22:41 |
| TheSheep | infamy: also, what GridCube is saying :) | 22:41 |
| infamy | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Thames [Radeon HD 7550M/7570M/7650M] | 22:42 |
| GridCube | alright, infamy open a terminal and type >>arandr<< | 22:42 |
| infamy | currently not installed. install it? | 22:43 |
| infamy | It's been installed and I typed it again and it's open | 22:43 |
| GridCube | ok, but i see that xrandr did not saw the monitor so maybe its irrelevant | 22:45 |
| GridCube | i would suggest you to reboot whit the external monitor plugged. i know its not the optimal solution but it might work | 22:45 |
| infamy | OK, let me try that. | 22:47 |
| infamy | Sec. | 22:47 |
| tzhuang | Hello, how can I change the default web browser in Xubuntu 13.10? I have already modified the Preferred Application but most other programs (thunderbird, abiword) seem to recognize FireFox as the default browser (links opened there). | 22:48 |
| TheSheep | tzhuang: I had a lot of trouble with that, finally I just renamed the menu entry for firefox in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop to something else | 22:54 |
| tzhuang | TheSheep: lol damn. seems a little inelegant but i guess you gotta do what you gotta do. thanks | 23:01 |
| Unit193 | grep for firefox in ~/.local/* -R | 23:02 |
