| ner0x | What can I use to view log files? Non gnome or kde based. Thanks! | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| autif | ner0x: what do you mean like vi (command line) or mousepad (graphical)? | 00:04 |
| ner0x | autif: vim works but I wouldn't mind something a little more organized. GUI if possible. | 00:04 |
| autif | ner0x: Will a graphical text editor will be sufficient for your needs? There are several - jedit for example. But you can search for other editors if jedit is not right | 00:09 |
| autif | I installed minidlna - it works just fine on ubuntu server, however on xubuntu, the server does nto start by itself - I have to manually start it using "service minidlna start" - I am not sure why it wont start by itself - S20minidlna correctly links to ../init/minidlna - Any ideas about how to go about debugging this? All this is w.r.t saucy 13.10 - please help! | 00:10 |
| Orioa | can someone tell me how to convert a jpg to another type of file using command line | 00:15 |
| autif | Orioa: imagemagick has a mogrify tool | 00:16 |
| autif | Orioa: mogrify -format png file.jpg | 00:18 |
| Orioa | someone helped me the other day but i forgot what we used | 00:23 |
| Orioa | and what the format we converted it to | 00:23 |
| autif | Orioa: what are you trying to do? | 00:24 |
| Orioa | i wan to convert a picture so i can use it as my log in background | 00:25 |
| Orioa | the format we changed it to started with an a | 00:26 |
| autif | Orioa: what do you mean log in background? background of what? what is log? | 00:27 |
| Orioa | the background that comes up for you to log in | 00:27 |
| autif | ah | 00:27 |
| autif | Orioa: what is the format the picture is in? | 00:28 |
| Orioa | right now jpg | 00:28 |
| David-A | Orioa: I think you rather want "convert" then "mogrify". if "mogrify" does something wrong you lose the original picture | 00:28 |
| David-A | *than | 00:28 |
| Orioa | ok | 00:29 |
| David-A | Orioa: if you have imagemagick installed, you can for example do: ''convert madonna.jpg madonna.png'' | 00:31 |
| autif | Orioa: what David-A said - I did not know of convert - always used mogrify - convert is the right tool for this job | 00:32 |
| Orioa | i have imagemagick (display) is that the same | 00:32 |
| Orioa | nevermind answered my own ? | 00:32 |
| Orioa | lol | 00:33 |
| Orioa | i have gimp to but it didn't help | 00:33 |
| David-A | Orioa: if ''man convert'' talks about image convertion, then you have it | 00:33 |
| Orioa | hmm | 00:33 |
| Orioa | ok got it but i do not see were to convert it | 00:35 |
| David-A | Orioa: "where"? where the new file will be? you specify the old file and the new file on the command line. where-ever you want it to be. | 00:36 |
| Orioa | k | 00:36 |
| David-A | Orioa: or do you mean "what" to convert it to? you end the new file with a suffix like ".jpg", ".png", ".gif" and it will know what format you want it to be. | 00:38 |
| Orioa | i saved it as a png file checking now to see if it works | 00:38 |
| David-A | Orioa: but you can also add options to specify in detail what format, what quality level, etc. | 00:38 |
| Orioa | k ty | 00:38 |
| Orioa | brb | 00:39 |
| Orioa | nothing happened i guess i will wait till i see the person on who helped me before | 00:40 |
| bazhang | http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ Orioa | 00:42 |
| bazhang | from ##imagemagick | 00:43 |
| David-A | Orioa: if you have a file "madonna.jpg" and issue the command ''convert madonna.jpg madonna.png'' then "nothing happens" in the terminal, but a new file "madonna.png" is created. | 00:45 |
| David-A | Orioa: is that what you mean by "nothing happened"? | 00:45 |
| Orioa | no tried to get it as background but it didn't change | 00:45 |
| Orioa | ok i got it working | 00:49 |

| autif | Hi again - I just installed xubuntu 13.10 in a VM and installed minidlna and it does not start on bootup - I have to "service minidlna start" to start that service. Should a bug be opened? | 01:08 |
| utusan | is 4.12 in 14.04? | 01:32 |
| Unit193 | 4.12 doesn't exist yet. | 01:34 |
| utusan | I just saw Zenwalk came out with it | 01:35 |
| Unit193 | http://archive.xfce.org/xfce/ doesn't exist, so Zenwalk is using the developmental 4.11 "releases" most likely. | 01:36 |
| utusan | XFCE 4.12GIT | 01:37 |
| Unit193 | http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tree/configure.ac.in = 4.11.1, so doesn't even exist in git (picked xfdesktop as it has had the most recent commit, and is core.) | 01:39 |
| utusan | let me check it out then if they are not truthful :( | 01:42 |
| Sysi | I can't find zenwalk xfce package anywhere from to check it, but naming dev version package different is trivial | 01:44 |
| utusan | http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46649 | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | Sysi: Yep, very easy. Could also be a typo. | 01:47 |
| Mapley | yo, just wondering if it's possible to customize the Xfce panel font? | 01:48 |
| Sysi | it's set in your theme, you probably can change it in the theme or in .gtkrc file | 01:49 |
| David-A | Mapley: Settings>Appearance>Fonts will set panels and menus and much more. if you only want to change font in panel see sysi's answer. | 01:50 |
| Mapley | Hmm. | 01:57 |
| Mapley | I'll check it out, thanks. | 01:58 |
| xubuntu936 | Hi everybody, I've installed xubuntu on a flash drive; it's working.. except the ethernet. I've tried a few tutorials online, but without any luck. I've gone though a few things online like setting a static ip in the /etc/network/interfaces. It tells me that the host is unreachable if I try to ping anything. It doesn't seem to want to work with dhcp either. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. | 02:00 |
| Mapley | Got it working, thanks guys :D | 02:09 |
| Mapley | I'll make a short post about it over at the, er, Arch forums. :P | 02:09 |
| Mapley | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1357566#p1357566 ring ding ding ding < for anyone who was wondering | 02:11 |

| jyd | jyd> I have a small black margin on the right side of the screen. Thinkpad x220. Anyone know how I would go about adjusting the screen size to compensate? | 05:16 |
| jyd | <jyd> Also, I have two batteries on my laptop. One of them is not getting detected correctly at boot. It takes 10 minutes or so until xfce4-power-manager 1.0.11 recognizes it. | 05:16 |
| jyd | <jyd> although acpi shows it correctly | 05:16 |
| jyd | <jyd> and the second battery keeps flashing around 90% charge,,, flips between fully changed,, and 90% 15 minutes until battery is fully charged | 05:16 |
| jyd | Forgive me,, but I originally posted that in the wrong channel. Can someone help me out? | 05:17 |
| jyd | /proc/acpi/battery/ see's both batteries | 05:23 |
| jyd | but power manager is freaking out | 05:23 |
| jyd | knock | 05:41 |
| cfhowlett | jyd, what? | 05:49 |
| jyd | I have 2 batteries installed on my thinkpad x220. /proc/acpi/battery/ is accurately detecting both but xfce4-power-manager 1.0.11 keeps geeking out and switching between "Your battery is fully charged" state and "Your battery is charging (93%) 13 minutes until fully charged". Xubuntu 12.04. Lil help? | 05:51 |

| holstein | jyd: did you just install xubuntu? | 05:55 |
| jyd | holstein, yes | 05:55 |
| holstein | jyd: i would just relax and take your time... | 05:55 |
| holstein | jyd: have you check for and applied updates that could potentially "fix" some of your issues? | 05:56 |
| jyd | I'm fully updated | 05:56 |
| holstein | jyd: if not, close other package managers, open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 05:56 |
| holstein | for the black border, you can try to see if there is a proprietary driver to enable for your graphics card | 05:57 |
| holstein | !ati | 05:57 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 05:57 |
| holstein | if not, it could be a simple bios setting | 05:57 |
| jyd | I'm using intel integrated | 05:57 |
| jyd | And yep, fully updated. | 05:58 |
| jyd | I sense a bug | 05:58 |
| holstein | jyd: i dont | 05:58 |
| jyd | in xfce-power-manager | 05:58 |
| holstein | jyd: i see maybe your hardware is not supporting linux/xubuntu | 05:58 |
| jyd | 9 out of 10 devs have thinkpads heh | 05:58 |
| jyd | I've used dozens of distros. First time settling on xfce | 05:59 |
| jyd | I've used gnome 2 sonce debian lenny | 05:59 |
| holstein | you can troubleshoot with another power manager is you think thats the issue | 05:59 |
| jyd | Right. I appreciate your help. | 06:00 |
| holstein | the battery thing seems OK to me.. if its just getting used to predeciting what the batter is doing | 06:01 |
| holstein | battery* | 06:01 |
| jyd | I'll let it go the night | 06:01 |
| jyd | It doesn't "appear" to be affecting anything | 06:02 |
| jyd | But it isn't right. | 06:02 |
| holstein | maybe it hasnt had enough time to get information to report.. maybe the bios is reporting incorrectly.. maybe it *is* right | 06:02 |

| pjotter | Hi there. I was wondering: Is it possible to 'split' the sound to different outputs? I woulk like the sound from an internet radiostation to output through a different line then the rest of the sounds. | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | pjotter, redirect sound? sure. but I don't know how. #ubuntustudio or #opensource musicians might have a handle on it | 12:22 |
| pjotter | Yes, something like that. Now the sound of the radiostation is coming from my monitor. Iw aould like to redirect just that sound to a stereo set. I'll ask in the channels you suggested. Thanks! :) | 12:24 |
