[07:43] <xubuntu222> why the bar window is not displayed
[07:45] <elfy> you'll need to explain what the bar window is :)
[07:47] <xubuntu222> parameters in the file manager is inaccessible. the windows do not have borders and can not close or reduce ...
[07:49] <xubuntu222> What can I do with please?
[07:49] <oaky> xubuntu222: do u have a panel on the bottom of the screen?
[07:50] <elfy> xubuntu222: try Alt+F2 then command xfwm4 --replace
[07:50] <xubuntu222> there here
[07:54] <xubuntu222> the windows opened are automatically placed in the corner and can not be move also
[07:59] <xubuntu222> my Xubuntu becomes completely uncontrollable
[08:04] <elfy> only time I've ever heard of that is with something like devilspie - you could try removing session information
[08:05] <elfy> open settings manager - session and startup - session tab - clear saved sessions, logout - make sure it's not saving session - login
[12:12] <superpazzo> hi
[12:13] <superpazzo> Xubuntu 14.04 is installing! Maybe this time I'll manage to give a new life to the old crappy Acer Aspire 1350 with only 512 MB RAM
[12:13] <superpazzo> I meant 12.04 of course!
[12:13] <olbi> it wasn't problems with installing it, like crash or smth?
[12:13] <olbi> oh, 12.04 you mean :P
[12:13] <superpazzo> no..... for the moment :)
[12:13] <superpazzo> yes, LTS
[12:14] <superpazzo> Lubuntu 13.10 and Xubuntu 13.10 failed for this old laptop, strange crazy errors :(
[12:14] <superpazzo> so I decided to try Xubuntu 12.04
[12:14] <olbi> 13.04 and laters have pae kernels, maybe that's why
[12:14] <superpazzo> this is a VEEEEERY crappy machine
[12:15] <superpazzo> e.g. CD-ROM does not work, and BIOS does not support USB sticks
[12:15] <olbi> I have same problems on some machines when try to install 13.10
[12:15] <superpazzo> I used an USB floppy disk to boot!!!!!
[12:15] <olbi> and CPU doesn't support PAE :P
[12:15] <superpazzo> ok, let's forget 13.10 and le'ts wait for the real 14.04 :)
[12:16] <olbi> hehe :)
[12:17] <superpazzo> PAE? not a problem, I don't have spare RAM  chips, I'll use the old 256+256 .....
[12:17] <superpazzo> Ibought this laptop in 2003
[12:17] <superpazzo> ah!
[12:17] <superpazzo> now I got it
[12:18] <superpazzo> well let's give it a shot with 12.4
[12:18] <superpazzo> at least I got to the GUI! it's a GREAT thing! and the USB stick this time has no damaged files (I used UNEtBootIn)
[12:19] <superpazzo> ok,it installed thelanguage packs (Italy), going on!
[12:25] <superpazzo> xubuntu rocks
[12:25] <xubuntu631> i've tried to set up duel monitors on my laptop. and now when i disconnected i have no display on my laptop screen on my main account. however the guest account works fine. help anyone?
[12:27] <cfhowlett> xubuntu631, xrandr is the app multi-display application.  I'd suggest looking for the hidden .xrandr configuration file in your guest account and copying it to your /home
[12:27] <cfhowlett> xubuntu631, OR find, kill and restart the .config account in /home
[12:27] <xubuntu631> how could i search for that?
[12:28] <cfhowlett> xubuntu631, manually.  go to file manager, display your /home, hit ctrl-h to display hidden files and look for .xrandr?  but first bring this question to #ubuntu.  Someone there may have a more direct solution
[12:28] <xubuntu631> okay thanks man
[12:29] <cfhowlett> xubuntu631, best of luck
[12:30] <xubuntu631> i get permission denied, so i tried to do sudo -s in terminal and cd to the home dir, and still permission denied:((
[12:30] <akis63> hi all. i followed theese details http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/07/download-and-install-androidsdk-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ and i installed in my /home android. because it does not work properly i deleted /android from my /home. is there any possibility that it has anything be changed from this application on my /root (except of course of openjdk-6-jdk and libgl1-mesa-dev which are necessary to run the application)?
[12:31] <bekks> akis63: Unless you did it using sudo: no.
[12:34] <akis63> bekks: i didn't use sudo. i only installed penjdk-6-jdk and libgl1-mesa-dev from software center and i konw that they have been installed in my /root. But the androids-sdk i downloaded from here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r20-linux.tgz and then i unzipped it in my/home and i run it from there.
[12:35] <bekks> akis63: then it didnt change anything outside your /home
[12:37] <akis63> bekks: ok. thank you for confirmation. is it clear that nothing has been changed outside my /home although sdk-manager downloaded the newest android packages?
[12:37] <bekks> akis63: Unless it used sudo privileges to do so - nothing has changed outside /home
[12:37] <junka> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-sound-gtk2/+bug/1208204
[12:37] <junka> has this been fixed?
[12:38] <cfhowlett> junka, if it was fixed, it would state same so ... not yet
[12:40] <junka> where does then "fix released" apply to? 14.04 alpha 1?
[12:40] <akis63> bekks: no sudo pirivileges were used. just an update procedure from sdk manager as it is described here: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/07/download-and-install-androidsdk-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/#tc-comment-title under 'Install Android updates if there are any available'
[12:42] <brainwash> junka: right, saucy is listed separately and the updated package is available in the proposed repo
[12:43] <junka> thanks
[14:53] <acalbaza> anyone know how to fix menu editor in 13.10?  i cant get it to keep my additions.
[16:31] <phil__> hello there !
[16:32] <phil__> any idea on how dkms terminate is compile; with no messages anyway ...
[16:33] <phil__> something wrong or not ?
[17:12] <Orioa> is there anyone around
[17:13] <TheSheep> no
[17:13] <TheSheep> !ask | Orioa
[17:15] <Orioa> i need help changing the network shares when i click on browse network it opens to windows network but my network is different
[17:15] <Orioa> then when i open windows network it has workgroup i need to change that to my network but do not know how
[17:16] <Orioa> to my workgroup sorry
[17:20] <TheSheep> "windows network" is for the type of network, not for the name
[17:20] <TheSheep> it should list all the workgroups that are available
[17:21] <Orioa> ok
[17:21] <TheSheep> if it's not listed, you should be able to open it with Go -> open location
[17:22] <Orioa> ok ty
[18:53] <brauleinchen> i need to convert a 16:9 avi file to 4:3, that is aspect ratio. I just mkv'ed the file (mkvmerger), how do I do that?
[18:54] <bazhang> handbrake?
[18:56] <brauleinchen> bazhang, is that a program?
[18:56] <bazhang> brauleinchen, a gui one, yeah
[18:56] <bazhang> you could use ffmpeg for the cli
[19:07] <brauleinchen> bazhang, what is ffmpeg?
[19:07] <brauleinchen> and im trying to figure how to change the aspect ratio, but i cannot find anything
[19:07] <brauleinchen> tips welcomed
[19:07] <bazhang> !info ffmpeg
[19:07] <bazhang> ^ brauleinchen
[19:08] <brauleinchen> what does ffmpeg do? encoder and transcoder doesnt say enything to me
[19:08] <bazhang> which is why I suggested the gui handbrake

[19:21] <omegahacker> [redir from #xfce] I just upgraded from ubuntu/mint 13.04 to 13.10 last night, and now have a serious problem with xfce4-terminal - when I start it one one screen, *every* terminal on the other screen (all workspaces) dies instantly with 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)' etc
[19:22] <omegahacker> and sorry, meant xubuntu in that, pasted from my previous brainfart
[19:25] <bazhang> which mint
[19:26] <omegahacker> not mint, xubuntu
[19:39] <holstein> omegahacker: i would test as another user, or with the config removed or moved out of the way.. then, you can see if the issue is with the actuall application, or just your user config
[19:42] <omegahacker> k, will try that when I have a breaking point in my coding
[19:44] <holstein> if you are carrying a config over from mint, that could do it.. a bunch of custom or outdated xfce user configs
[19:44] <omegahacker> no, mint was a typo, it was never involved
[19:44] <holstein> if you upgraded from a version of mint with the upgrade too, thats a bad idea
[19:44] <holstein> upgrade tool*
[19:44] <omegahacker> fresh install of xubuntu 13.04, upgraded last night to 13.10
[19:45] <holstein> then, you have no reason to be too put off by trying a fresh install of 13.10, since that will likely take much less time over all, and you have no data to bother with backing up or saving
[19:46] <omegahacker> no, I have plenty of data, the 13.04 was a long time ago
[19:46] <speckle> by fresh install, you mean you didn't keep up with upgrades?
[19:47] <speckle> or you mean 13.04 was the first version you installed?
[19:47] <omegahacker> I mean I got new hard drives at that time
[19:47] <speckle> ah!
[19:47] <omegahacker> new drives, 13.04 fresh, do lots of work, upgrade to 13.10 last night
[19:48] <speckle> I had a couple issues with 13.10 but nothing too serious - it does feel less table than 13.04 though :(
[19:48] <speckle> *stable
[19:48] <omegahacker> starting rsync of home from / to my raid just in case I'm forced to reinstall, but really hoping not
[19:48] <brainwash> you mean separate X screens?
[19:49] <omegahacker> and if I reinstall I'll be splitting / and /home into separate partitions so I don't have this mess again
[19:49] <omegahacker> yes
[19:49] <brainwash> ah, found it
[19:49] <brainwash> bug 1243354
[19:50] <omegahacker> yup, looks to be it
[19:51] <brainwash> sadly no progress on this one :/
[19:52] <holstein> omegahacker: you can have whatever data you have, but the fresh install last night of 13.04 will be the same as the fresh install of 13.10 i was saying you shouldnt be afraid of doing
[19:52] <omegahacker> guess I can try to compile the xfce4-terminal version from 13.04 and see if that is enough to fix it
[19:53] <holstein> omegahacker: so, the issue happens as another user?
[19:53] <speckle> holstein, it was found to be a confirmed open bug
[19:53] <holstein> omegahacker: you are certain its not your config? and its an issue with 13.10?
[19:53] <omegahacker> first, the fresh install of 13.04 was many many months ago, after which I've got 80GB of /home on root
[19:54] <holstein> i had read nothing that indicated there were mulitple x screens..
[19:54] <omegahacker> I haven't actually logged in as another user yet because I haven't had a stopping point in my work yet, so I have no idea if it's a user config issue yet, but I strongly doubt it from the bug report
[19:55] <holstein> assuming its relating to your actual problem, it seems plausible
[19:55] <omegahacker> "when I start it one one screen, *every* terminal on the other screen"
[19:55] <holstein> omegahacker: sure.. but that doesnt mean to me an x session is split
[20:09] <bsdtux> Hey guys and gals, where can I get the xubuntu documentation for offline viewing? I check /usr/share/doc/xubuntu-doc and xubuntu-desktop but only say a copyright and changelog.gz
[20:10] <Unit193> /usr/share/xubuntu-docs/desktop-guide/
[20:10] <bsdtux> thanks Unit193
[20:10] <Unit193> Sure, just make sure xubuntu-docs is installed.
[20:32] <xubuntu114> Hi! Is it possible tyo install a software in xubuntu that plays music has a playlist and you can edit the order in whgich the songs wqill paly?
[20:32] <xubuntu114> such application does evene xist?
[20:33] <TheSheep> sure, lots of them
[20:33] <xubuntu114> sorry for the bad typying
[20:33] <xubuntu114> i tried lots and couldn find one that did
[20:33] <TheSheep> if you like winamp, you will like audacity
[20:33] <TheSheep> the default is rockbox, I think
[20:33] <holstein> xubuntu114: i cant think of many that dont.. what did you try?
[20:33] <xubuntu114> gnome music player does not play them sequentialy
[20:33] <holstein> xubuntu114: you can select if you want them to go in order or random
[20:33] <xubuntu114> im goin  to try audacity now
[20:33] <TheSheep> sorry, not rockbox
[20:33] <TheSheep> gmusicbrowser
[20:33] <holstein> xubuntu114: audacity is not a player like that
[20:33] <holstein> !info audacity
[20:34] <TheSheep> holstein: how was it called then?
[20:34] <TheSheep> sorry
[20:34] <holstein> xubuntu114: you can open the one you were using, and configure it to play sequentially
[20:34] <xubuntu114> in gmusic i couldnt change the order of stuff in the playlist
[20:34] <TheSheep> seems I've forgotten all the names :(
[20:34] <TheSheep> xubuntu114: that's strange, should work
[20:34] <xubuntu114> it does not do that
[20:35] <xubuntu114> seems like a bug
[20:35] <xubuntu114> on the gnome music polayer
[20:35] <holstein> xubuntu114: it does.. but choose one, and lets get into it
[20:35] <xubuntu114> i remeber it working fine somewhere else
[20:35] <xubuntu114> right!
[20:35] <holstein> xubuntu114: what would you like to use? banshee is a popular one
[20:35] <xubuntu114> i'll try both audacity and banshee
[20:35] <holstein> xubuntu114: audacity, is *not* a player like that
[20:36] <holstein> xubuntu114: you dont want audacity.. its a recorder
[20:36] <xubuntu114> ok
[20:36] <xubuntu114> i get it
[20:36] <holstein> xubuntu114: no need to try it at all for what you are doing... it has no playlists
[20:36] <holstein> !info banshee
[20:42] <xubuntu114> Banshee is just great!
[20:42] <xubuntu114> thabnsk guys
[20:42] <xubuntu114> what a nice application
[20:43] <xubuntu114> holstein: thanks for recommending banshee it's so much better than the default one
[20:44] <holstein> xubuntu114: its not actually "better".. its just preffered by you, and thats great.. enjoy, and i hope it meets your needs
[20:45] <xubuntu114> XD~
[20:56] <Sysi> if I install 12.04.1 with backported xorg and kernel, will I get newer 12.04.3 xorg and kernel with apt-get upgrade?
[20:57] <holstein> Sysi: you'll get whatever is in the repos.. everything should just come in, assuming you are OK with that much coming in
[20:58] <holstein> Sysi: it'll maybe be similar to downloading the new iso
[21:00] <Sysi> holstein: different point-releases just have those backported from different releases, I can upgrade them manually too
[21:01] <Unit193> !info xserver-xorg-lts-raring
[21:01] <Unit193> !info xserver-xorg-lts-raring raring
[21:01] <Unit193> Bah, whatever, it's in precise.
[21:01] <holstein> Sysi: im just saying, if you want to end up with the updated 12.04, the data tranfer of installing the older one and upgrading is probably quite similar, if not even a bit more than just downloading the newer iso
[21:02] <holstein> Sysi: last time i did it, i think it was 900 or so mb's after the install, using an older 12.04 iso
[21:02] <Sysi> holstein: I don't really care about that
[21:02] <holstein> Sysi: the end result is, you get the latest from the repos
[21:02] <Unit193> Yes, but the -lts-bleh packages don't get auto installed, at least not from the dep trail I see.
[21:02] <holstein> Sysi: sure. but, that is literally the only thing to care about.. the data transfer and the time.. if the end result is the same
[21:03] <holstein> the time will be less to just download the latest iso
[21:03] <Sysi> holstein: like Unit193 said, it won't be
[21:03] <Unit193> You can easily install the metas, though.
[21:03] <Sysi> sure
[21:04] <Sysi> I guess I'll do that, I'd probably gone with 12.04 original if I had ".0" 32bit image handy
[21:08] <Sysi> hum, I have mini.iso
[21:10] <holstein> i like the mini iso. its handy
[21:27] <Gllm> Hi there

[22:05] <uBUXUBu> hi
[22:28] <Wilsonb>  could someone tell me what the best way to back up my t428 with Xubunut flashed on it?
 I updated and configured it, now want to try other flavors, but worked on it for a while.
 How to backup the Roms?
[22:42] <sideup66> hey room
[22:42] <xubuntu550> Hello, i need help
[22:43] <sideup66> i have a question regarding a wireless adapter on my toshiba laptop running xubuntu 12.04
[22:43] <xubuntu550> How i can uninstall programs from xubuntu.
[22:43] <sideup66> xubuntu550: look up the program you want to remove in synaptic
[22:43] <sideup66> and click on it and select remove
[22:43] <sideup66> then apply
[22:44] <Unit193> sideup66: What card/chip?
[22:44] <sideup66> my question is, what is going on with my netgear wna1000 usb dongle, for some reason itll connect from a cold system start, however a reboot and it becomes disabled and does not connect to the network
[22:45] <sideup66> i dont think the usb is honestly going to sleep because itll show it under network connections as disabled by hardware switch
[22:49] <sideup66> its just strange how its affected by powering off vs rebooting
[22:53] <sideup66> unit193: for some reason it loads up a realtek driver to run things
[23:34] <brauleinchen> can i play m4v on linux?
[23:34] <brauleinchen> that is not apples format, is it?
[23:48] <Mike-Linux-NL> brauleinchen: m4v should be playable
[23:48] <Mike-Linux-NL> in vlc or totem
[23:48] <brauleinchen> Mike-Linux-NL, i checked, it is apple
[23:48] <brauleinchen> isnt it?
[23:48] <Mike-Linux-NL> it is, but still playable.. apple uses that format as well
[23:49] <Mike-Linux-NL> and you can convert m4v's into mkv's or mp4 with Handbrake
[23:50] <xyzone> isn't m4v just mp4 with a different extension?
[23:50] <Mike-Linux-NL> an m4v is very similar to mp4, but as an option you can add DRM to it...
[23:51] <Mike-Linux-NL> apple uses it to put tv episodes or other restricted content on iTunes
[23:51] <Mike-Linux-NL> DRM options like copy protection etc...
[23:52] <Mike-Linux-NL> for more info regarding M4v please check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4V
[23:53] <xyzone> still looks like it's just an extension change. the drm is going into mp4 containers
[23:54] <xyzone> drm is so goofy
[23:59] <brauleinchen> any linux program to turn m4v into mkv or anythhing else?
