[05:31] <xubuntu554> hello. i have been reading about my problem with screen tearing in firefox, flash and vlc, and have come up with multiple solutions, which are: sync to vblank (as per webupd8 instructions here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/xfce-sync-to-vblank-support-for-xfwm.html) a ppa to xfwm 4.11 as here (http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/xfwm4-4110-released-with-sync-to-vblank.html) and ppa for compton (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t
[05:31] <xubuntu554> which one of these is the most viable solution?
[05:33] <Unit193> xubuntu554: Xfwm4 is something that comes with Xubuntu, while compton is something that doesn't but supports other compositing effects.
[05:34] <xubuntu554> yep, i know, that's why i'm asking, i'm not sure what people's experience with compton is
[05:35] <Unit193> I don't need the special effects really, so I don't use it.  It's really up to you though.
[06:28] <xubuntu520> hi
[06:29] <xubuntu520> i have problems with ubuntu software center
[06:30] <xubuntu520> it opens but it dissapears after 3 seconds
[06:31] <xubuntu520> help
[06:34] <pero> is there any reason at all to even have software center? if not, is it possible and harmless to remove?
[06:37] <elfy> entirely possible to remove it and it's harmless - I use synaptic - but that's a different  question :)
[06:51] <pero> elfy: are you sure? apt-get remove software-center also requires uninstalling xfce-desktop
[06:52] <elfy> yep - it will, but that's just a meta-package - removing ANY of the default packages referred to by xubuntu-desktop will do that
[06:52] <elfy> because at that point you don't have 'xubuntu-desktop' basically :)
[06:53] <pero> but...that's not 'harmless' anymore is it
[06:53] <pero> wouldnt there be sideeffects to doing that?
[06:54] <elfy> there used to be I think when upgrading to next version, but afaik it's a non-issue now
[06:55] <pero> i've earlier deleted some default, yet non-integral packages - xchat, transmission, games - and they didnt ask me to remove the desktop package
[06:56] <pero> just poof'd gmusicbrowser too
[06:56] <elfy> ok
[06:56] <elfy> but - my point remains - removing xubuntu-desktop along with a package you are removing is not an issue
[06:57] <pero> k
[06:57] <pero> thx
[06:57] <elfy> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126390/is-it-safe-to-remove-ubuntu-desktop-package
[06:57] <elfy> for ubuntu read xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu
[07:02] <pero> well, nothing blew up
[07:03] <elfy> ;)
[07:07] <Unit193> I've been 'missing' that package for a long time.  It's simply a meta, just depends on others.
[07:08] <elfy> yep - it's been installed on my systems for only as long as it takes to start synaptic since a long time
[08:46] <ahren> Hi I am wondering what is the lightest xubuntu ubuntu i have an older laptop

[09:28] <loz1> hi, mouse scroll does not work in evince and works in all other programs, is there any fix for it?
[09:42] <ochosi> loz1: there is a bug with gtk3 and scrolling in xubuntu 13.10, i can't remember the solution to that though now :/
[09:49] <loz1> ochosi: i found GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1, how can i set this var system-wide?
[09:49] <ochosi> try "export GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1"
[09:50] <loz1> i mean exporting in my .zshrc does not help when other apps (browsers, etc) run evince
[09:50] <ochosi> if it works then, create a session startup item that executes that line
[09:50] <ochosi> not sure about that tbh
[09:51] <ochosi> you can possibly integrate that var in session loading somehoow
[09:51] <ochosi> but as i've never done this myself, i'd also have to google it ;)
[09:51] <loz1> ochosi: hm, did you fixed that bug in your system?
[09:52] <ochosi> nope, somehow i don't have that bug
[09:52] <ochosi> i've only heard about it
[10:08] <Unit193> ochosi: Overlay scrollbars?
[10:09] <ochosi> Unit193: is it only connected to overlay-scrollbars? i couldn't remember...
[10:09] <ochosi> loz1: ^
[10:09] <ochosi> loz1: so in case you're using the overlay-scrollbars, probably stop using them ;)
[10:21] <loz1> what
[10:21] <loz1> how?)
[12:48] <Meerkat> is there any ETA on the volume button fix on 13.10?

[14:21] <Meerkat> bingo, you add the indicator plugin to the panel. Is that what you mean by 'taskbar'?

[16:04] <ke1v3y> Hello
[16:05] <ke1v3y> I had a question I was hoping that someone could provide some insight into.
[16:07] <Nyankiyoshi> Yes ? ^^
[16:07] <Nyankiyoshi> !ask
[16:07] <ke1v3y> I apologize; first time on IRC for Xubuntu :)
[16:08] <ke1v3y> So I'm running 12.04 and experiencing vertical lines on many icons across all programs. I'm guessing it is related to my graphics card, but I was hoping to find some resolution.
[16:14] <ke1v3y> The PC is an old Compaq Presario 6010US, with an equally old AMD AGP graphics card.
[16:19] <ke1v3y> This is what it looks like: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-01072014-111129am.php
