[00:02] <ner0x> What can I use to view log files? Non gnome or kde based. Thanks!
[00:04] <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.
[00:09] <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
[00:10] <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!
[00:15] <Orioa> can someone tell me how to convert a jpg to another type of file using command line
[00:16] <autif> Orioa: imagemagick has a mogrify tool
[00:18] <autif> Orioa: mogrify -format  png file.jpg
[00:23] <Orioa> someone helped me the other day but i forgot what we used
[00:23] <Orioa> and what the format we converted it to
[00:24] <autif> Orioa: what are you trying to do?
[00:25] <Orioa> i wan to convert a picture so i can use it as my log in background
[00:26] <Orioa> the format we changed it to started with an a
[00:27] <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
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <Orioa> ok
[00:31] <David-A> Orioa: if you have imagemagick installed, you can for example do:  ''convert madonna.jpg madonna.png''
[00:32] <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 ?
[00:33] <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
[00:35] <Orioa> ok got it but i do not see were to convert it
[00:36] <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
[00:38] <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
[00:39] <Orioa> brb
[00:40] <Orioa> nothing happened i guess i will wait till i see the person on who helped me before
[00:42] <bazhang> http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/   Orioa
[00:43] <bazhang> from ##imagemagick
[00:45] <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
[00:49] <Orioa> ok i got it working

[01:08] <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?
[01:32] <utusan> is 4.12 in 14.04?
[01:34] <Unit193> 4.12 doesn't exist yet.
[01:35] <utusan> I just saw Zenwalk came out with it
[01:36] <Unit193> http://archive.xfce.org/xfce/ doesn't exist, so Zenwalk is using the developmental 4.11 "releases" most likely.
[01:37] <utusan> XFCE 4.12GIT
[01:39] <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.)
[01:42] <utusan> let me check it out then if they are not truthful :(
[01:44] <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
[01:47] <Unit193> Sysi: Yep, very easy.  Could also be a typo.
[01:48] <Mapley> yo, just wondering if it's possible to customize the Xfce panel font?
[01:49] <Sysi> it's set in your theme, you probably can change it in the theme or in .gtkrc file
[01:50] <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.
[01:57] <Mapley> Hmm.
[01:58] <Mapley> I'll check it out, thanks.
[02:00] <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.
[02:09] <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

[03:17] <nonuby> using clj-time, give a date-time inst, such as (datetime 2013 12 7 15 30), how can I get the time in UK time, which at the moment is UTC but some point next year it is UTC+1, the manual says one can specify time-zone offset but due to daylight savings this varies
[04:17] <sku1d> :q
[04:38] <xubuntu295> why i dont see new software in the center
[05:16] <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
[05:17] <jyd> Forgive me,, but I originally posted that in the wrong channel. Can someone help me out?
[05:23] <jyd> /proc/acpi/battery/ see's both batteries
[05:23] <jyd> but power manager is freaking out
[05:41] <jyd> knock
[05:49] <cfhowlett> jyd, what?
[05:51] <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] <jyd> cfhowlett, ^
[05:52] <jyd> I disabled notifications in xfce4 power manager but the icon keeps flipping status
[05:55] <holstein> jyd: did you just install xubuntu?
[05:55] <jyd> holstein, yes
[05:55] <holstein> jyd: i would just relax and take your time...
[05:56] <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"
[05:57] <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
[05:58] <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
[05:59] <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
[06:00] <jyd> Right. I appreciate your help.
[06:01] <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
[06:02] <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

[12:21] <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.
[12:22] <cfhowlett> pjotter, redirect sound?  sure.  but I don't know how.  #ubuntustudio or #opensource musicians might have a handle on it
[12:24] <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! :)
