xubuntu380hi guys and top of the morning to ya. what i'm wondering is, how does it pan out if i use compton for compositing in xubuntu. is it stable? I meant per these instrucions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=214446807:17
Noskcajxubuntu380, It should be07:40
xubuntu380Noskcaj, thanks for your answer. Just looking for some composition without screen tearing in YT and VLC. Actually, i think i enabled openGL inside VLC itself, so i hope that's good  atleast. I really don't like changing defaults :)07:41
HardWareGuySoo if nothing is changing for 14.04, is it basically done and usable?07:59
cfhowlettHardWareGuy, ??? it's in alpha!  It will change!  but if you're feeling like you just can't wait - go for it.08:00
HardWareGuyxubuntu hasn't changed much over the years and releases, don't see enough changes to break 14.0408:01
cfhowlettyour box, your problem if you break it.  have fun with that.08:01

nikola_same18:26
nikola_ I go to File System then home18:26
nikola_ and I see the same folders  but are empty18:27
nikola_ without my files18:27
TheSheepthat doesn't make any sense, there should be directories for users in there18:27
TheSheepis this a standard installation?18:28
nikola_but I  have only 1 user me18:28
nikola_ what you mean standard instalation?18:28
TheSheepdid you do something funny with it?18:28
nikola_funny?18:29
TheSheeplike setting a non-standard home directory, for example18:29
nikola_  I do not have idea how to do that  I am niewbie  to linux like  baby18:29
nikola_ I like the xubuntu  because it is the only linux OS that I  do not need to download driver for my chipset18:30
TheSheepis your home directory on the same partition as the rest of the system, or did you choose a separate partition for it during the installation?18:30
TheSheepwe could see that if you could pastebin your /etc/fstab18:30
TheSheep(that's a file in the 'etc' directory in 'File System')18:31
nikola_ I cut  1G  for swap  and the other 100 to put the xubuntu18:31

nikola_what url?18:33
TheSheepthe one that it will print for you18:33
nikola_wait18:33
nikola_ I write  in the  terminal18:34
nikola_ and the terminal  answer that there is not such file or directory18:34
nikola_nikolas@nikolas-Compaq-Presario-CQ60-Notebook-PC:~$ pastebinit<etc/fstab bash: etc/fstab: No such file or directory18:35
TheSheepyou forgot /18:35
TheSheepat the begginning of etc18:35
nikola_http://paste.ubuntu.com/6704672/18:36
TheSheepok, so it's all on the single parition18:37
nikola_yes18:37
TheSheepdo you remember if you maybe selected to have your home directory encrypted?18:37
nikola_ o no18:37
nikola_ I do not think so18:37
nikola_ I have a password  but  it was  never problem18:38
TheSheepif you press ctrl+h the file manager should show also hidden files, anything in there?18:38
nikola_it has a folder  hide  that it says lost+found18:39
nikola_ but when I am trying to open it18:39
TheSheepthat's in File System18:40
nikola_ it throws an error that I can not see  it18:40
TheSheepbut in you home?18:40
TheSheepn your home?18:40
nikola_oo wait18:40
TheSheepI'm pretty much baffled, because I can't imagine a situation where user's files would simply disappear without being deleted or move by that user or some script that he runs18:41
nikola_ I do not  know18:41
nikola_ I was just choose  a program to download  from the  ubuntu center18:41
nikola_ and another strange  is18:42
nikola_ that   I do not see the  image on files18:42
nikola_ or folders18:42
nikola_if I restart  and login  in recovery you  think can  bring my folders back?18:43
TheSheepnikola_: can you do 'mount | pastebinit' and paste the url?18:43
nikola_you mean to write  in terminal mount |pastebinit?18:44
TheSheepI honestly have no idea, because I can't think of what could have such effects18:44
TheSheepyes18:44
TheSheepthat will give the list of all mounted filesystems18:44
nikola_http://paste.ubuntu.com/6704672/18:45
nikola_it gives me the same url18:45
TheSheepthe number should be different18:45
nikola_http://paste.ubuntu.com/6704746/18:47
nikola_ I run it again18:47
TheSheepdid you look in that /media/nikolas?18:48
nikola_where is that?18:48
nikola_media?18:48
TheSheepFile System -> media -> nikolas18:49
TheSheepbut it's a fuse filesystem, so it may be a windows disk or something18:49
nikola_in that file  is my swap  files  that Xubuntu need to boot18:49
nikola_fuse filesystem is  the broken  file system?18:50
TheSheepno18:50
TheSheepfuse is a way of having the filesystem drivers run with user's permissions, I'm just guessing this is some external or windows disk because they are often mounted like that18:51
TheSheepbut I don't understand what you mean by "swap files", your swap is on a separate partition according to fstab18:52
nikola_ yes I have  install it like that18:52
nikola_ but in media/nikolas  I see only  this partition18:53
TheSheepso what is /media/nikolas/Δεσμευμένο από το σύστημα ?18:53
nikola_the last   are in Greeks18:53
nikola_ it means  that  my system  needs this files18:54
nikola_the system has take this part18:54
monatsendcan somebody help me?18:54
TheSheepmonatsend: I really don't know much about nvidia drivers, sorry18:54
TheSheepmonatsend: you might try asking on #ubuntu and searching the forums18:55
monatsendok ty. i will try on #ubuntu18:55
TheSheepnikola_: you mean Windows?18:55
TheSheepnikola_: because I don't remember Linux doing such things18:56
nikola_no18:56
TheSheepnikola_: oh, that is probably some windows partition18:56
nikola_ the windows  are  in other part18:56
nikola_ alone 148 GB18:56
nikola_ my externall disk  is cut it in 3 pieces18:57
nikola_ one  is the  xubuntu file system18:57
nikola_the second  is the  swap partition that Xubuntu needs18:57
nikola_ and 148 G is the vista18:57
TheSheepI'm very sorry, but I really can't see what could possibly have happened there18:58
TheSheepI can't help you18:58
nikola_ ok thanks18:58

Squall88ukAnyone know how i'd go about making a cursor them? I searched all over and all i can find is guides on how to install downloaded themes20:43
holsteinSquall88uk: which would you like? making a cursor theme? for xfce? or how to install a certain theme? what theme in that case? and where did you get it?20:47
Squall88ukI want to make a cursor theme from scratch for xfce then install it.20:48
holsteinSquall88uk: http://orford.org/gtk/#cursors might be a good place to start, and/or try downloading one such as http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Polar+Cursor+Theme?content=27913 and just see what is going on there20:50
holsteinSquall88uk: you might try a gtk or xfce specific channel20:50
Squall88ukOut of curiosity what is gtk? I know xfce is the DE but i have no idea what gtk is. I've heard the term a lot since i started using linux and never worked out what it is. Also whats x11?20:54

ubottuGTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI20:54
Squall88uk!GIMP20:56
ubottugimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.20:56
Squall88uki thought gnome was a different DE to Xfce even though they apparantly look very similar20:56
holsteinSquall88uk: they are different.. they both use gtk20:57
Squall88ukahh right ok i think i get it now. So when i use themes in general on xfce i use the gtk theme for some aspects of the overall look and the xfce window manager for other aspects of the overall look. Is that right ( or at least in the same ballpark lol)?20:59
holsteinSquall88uk: gtk ones should work.. it depends on who made them, and if they are made for what you are using21:03
Squall88ukWell atm i use the window manager settings to set my title bar look (from a downloaded theme) then the appearance setting for the general overall look of the system ie greybird21:05
Squall88ukOr am I go about that in completely the wrong way?21:08
holsteinSquall88uk: there is not "wrong" way. the "best" way will depend on what you want to do. the supported themes and packages from the repos should work easily and well. ones you download from elsewhere will be supported by the creators of the themes. if you want to make one, you can download one and look at how its made21:11
Squall88ukok thanks for the help its appreciated21:11

fredderik74will "sudo shutdown -h 05:00" close all opened applications before shutting the computer or will it just brute force close it?23:43
fredderik74it will only execute the action once, right? when I turn the machine on, it wont turn itself down23:46
holsteinfredderik74: it will do what you script.. which is just "shutdown"23:47
holsteinfredderik74: not sure what you mean by "turn its self down".. the script you make will run whenever you schedule it to run23:48
