[02:08] <hardboot> will whisker become the default menu?
[03:58] <pero> how can i get chromium to pass magnet links to transmission?
[03:58] <holstein> pero: you cant just download and click on them?
[03:59] <pero> holstein: nah, i get an 'external protocol request' popup
[03:59] <pero> but before it couldnt find an app - now it's set to 'xdg-open' since ive tried a few guides but failed
[04:00] <holstein> pero: can you right click and force them to open? can you open them from transmoission?
[04:00] <pero> that's a workaround - i want to fix the problem
[04:00] <pero> im pretty tired of copying url and pasting it in transmission
[04:00] <holstein> pero: im asking if its possible
[04:01] <holstein> pero: are the links you are downloading working from transmission?
[04:01] <pero> holstein: yes
[04:02] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/44849/how-to-configure-chrome-to-open-magnet-urls-with-deluge looks promising
[04:04] <fibz_> yeah i've been putting this off forever. i want to get firefox to understand magent links
[04:05] <holstein> wonder what im doing.. i just click on them
[04:06] <pero> haha yeah
[04:06] <pero> this is absurd
[04:06] <fibz_> .torrent works fine
[04:06] <pero> i've finally lost my shit
[04:07] <pero> holstein: i tried that gvfs-mime approach, but chromium is still referring xdg-open
[04:07] <bazhang> map the magnet to transmission-gtk
[04:07] <pero> bazhang: ok so i type 'map the magnet to transmission-gtk' in the terminal or what?
[04:07] <bazhang> no
[04:08] <bazhang> right click open with, scrolls to transmission-gtk , choose it
[04:08] <fibz_> thats not how magnet links work
[04:08] <pero> right click what?
[04:08] <fibz_> they work loike FTP:// or https://
[04:09] <fibz_> its an address type
[04:09] <bazhang> the small magnet icon
[04:09] <pero> in chromium?
[04:09] <bazhang> that is how I got it going, and it works perfectly, 100% of the time
[04:09] <pero> well, there's no option for open with in chromium right-click menu
[04:10] <fibz_> in this open with box, what is needed?
[04:10] <fibz_> pero, save link as
[04:10] <pero> open link in new tab, new window, incognite window
[04:10] <pero> that's all i have
[04:11] <fibz_> no download?
[04:11] <pero> nop
[04:11] <holstein> pero: link what you are looking at
[04:11] <pero> well, its there but its greyed out
[04:11] <holstein> pero: have you tried clicking it anyway?
[04:11] <fibz_> lol
[04:12] <pero> am i on gags or something?
[04:12] <holstein> pero: what are you looking at? share the link,a nd let me see first hand what its doing
[04:12] <holstein> pero: otherwise, confirm that eh "greyed out" is not just something with the theme, by trying to click it anyway
[04:12] <pero> clicking the greyed out link does not work, no
[04:12] <fibz_> what we are doing can be configured in the firefox prefrences menu. im cure chrome has the ability to associate magnet: links
[04:13] <holstein> pero: i have seen many greyed out options in filemanagers that i could click on over the years..
[04:13] <fibz_> but i only run firefox/opera/midori
[04:14] <blubaustin> hello having a problem running doom3 in xubuntu 64bit
[04:14] <fibz_> so techincally, this is a chrome issue, not an ubuntu issue
[04:14] <blubaustin> doom.x86: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[04:14] <pero> i dont understand what you want me to share...a screenshot, holstein
[04:15] <holstein> pero: i would like to look at what you are looking at.. the link to whatever you are trying to use
[04:15] <fibz_> blubaustin, i'd recommend asking in #wine
[04:15] <pero> holstein: any and all magnet URIs
[04:15] <blubaustin> why wine, its native linux
[04:15] <pero> holstein: https://thepiratebay.se/tag/Ubuntu
[04:15] <blubaustin> hence why the error is missing a libx11 and not exes etc
[04:16] <fibz_> links that use magret: as the url type (as apposed to regular .torrent http download that is a http: link
[04:16] <holstein> blubaustin: do you have all the requirements installed? have you asked the game developers for support?
[04:16] <blubaustin> all the pkgs are copied from the cd
[04:16] <blubaustin> it seems to be a problem with 64 bit ubuntu and varients
[04:16] <blubaustin> since they removed lib32 libs
[04:17] <blubaustin> I guess I'll try linux help since nobody seems to know that doom3 was even linux native
[04:18] <cole> was it actually?
[04:18] <fibz_> yes
[04:19] <cole> Well, you learn something everyday, it seems.
[04:19] <fibz_> Id products are ported to windows
[04:19] <holstein> pero: how about https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/torrent-to-transmission/fjfeeonbeiocojnpfboldpckcgcfknll?hl=en ?
 that's a workaround - i want to fix the problem
[04:20] <fibz_> but not every Doom3 game had the linux requirements
[04:20] <pero> keep another process constantly running just to have the ability to open magnet uris
[04:20] <holstein> pero: nah... doesnt work
[04:21] <holstein> pero: you will need to be open to a work around.. something from inside the browser you want to use that does the jon
[04:21] <holstein> job*
[04:21] <blubaustin> dual fx-74's, 8800 gts 640mb, 4gb ram
[04:21] <blubaustin> pretty sure I meet the requirements
[04:21] <pero> umm...there has to be a way
[04:21] <fibz_> his is native. i never played it, but it should be a straghtforward question
[04:22] <fibz_> does the file exist? does Doom3 have permission to access it?
[04:23] <pero> it's currently referring xdg-open from an earlier failed attempt to fix
[04:23] <blubaustin> like I said from what I read its because ubuntu team removed 32 bit compat package
[04:23] <holstein> blubaustin: change it back, and test..
[04:24] <fibz_> ie install 32bit compat package
[04:24] <holstein> blubaustin: i wouldnt expect ubuntu to change to make support available to that game, if that is the case.. looks to me like you just need something that the application is looking for
[04:25] <pero> this is the command that i ran that got me to xdg-open handling magnets: xdg-mime default transmission-gtk.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet
[04:26] <holstein> pero: wow.. how about just dragging them over?
[04:26] <holstein> pero: that works for me.. just dragging from the page to the transmission window
[04:26] <fibz_> we want it to open when we click the link if it is not running, and pop up in focus if running
[04:27] <ReaganomicsLambo> Quick question guys. There are times when I have a USB device attached to my laptop and if I move around, the disk will ejct and remount by itself. However, the disk will remount as null. If I was browsing a folder before the disk remounted, the directory on the disk becomes completely null until the next reboot or login. How do I fix this?
[04:27] <holstein> so, click and drag is a no go.. just a click then fibz_ ?
[04:27] <pero> holstein: i can also copy the url, paste it into the gmail, email it to myself, open it on my phone and download it there
[04:27] <fibz_> holstein, yes. and firefox will let me. whats the location i need for this open with box (for transmission)
[04:27] <pero> but i want to just click the link and have it open like it happens on every other os
[04:28] <pero> thanks for the help regardless
[04:28] <holstein> pero: well, it *is* capable on the OS.. we just have to find how to do it in chrome/chromium
[04:29] <fibz_> i have an "open with" box. where do i go from here?
[04:30] <blubaustin> found it
[04:30] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/311537/torrent-magnet-links-open-new-window-but-not-transmission seems like where i would go.. trying the patch referenced
[04:30] <blubaustin> sudo apt-get install package-name:i386
[04:30] <blubaustin> that installs x86 pacakges
[04:35] <pero> this preferred application thing seems like a massive headache here...chromium also won't stick as hte default browser
[04:37] <holstein> pero: i made that stick by using sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser
[04:38] <pero> thx
[04:39] <fibz_> http://imgur.com/a/w8pqJ#0
[04:40] <pero> holstein: yeah, doesn't work...heh
[04:41] <fibz_> in those pictures, where do i go for transmission?
[04:44] <pero> i don't know if this is the right answer but transmission is here: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk
[04:47] <fibz_> that worked. thank you holstein and pero
[04:56] <return0> Anyone know how to remove a window's side borders?
[06:17] <delt> hello
[06:17] <delt> so besides the lowlatency kernel and extra software pre-installed, what are the differences between xubuntu and ubuntu-studio?
[06:24] <fibz_> branding
[06:24] <fibz_> default settings
[06:25] <fibz_> it's specialized for high fidelity recording
[06:25] <delt> otherwise, pretty simiar?
[06:26] <fibz_> i prefur studio over ubuntu just because its less stuff to install after i install the OS (i use a lot of the stuff that comes with studio)
[06:26] <fibz_> xubuntu*
[06:26] <delt> i installed the lowlatency kernel on this machine, and configured it the way i like
[06:26] <delt> ...and installed pretty much all i need
[06:26] <fibz_> thats the beauty of linux
[06:27] <fibz_> modular design
[06:27] <fibz_> make it how you need it
[06:27] <delt> but does studio use pulseaudio by default?
[06:28] <fibz_> yeah
[06:29] <delt> iirc ubuntu is based on debian, right?
[06:29] <fibz_> yes
[06:30] <delt> so i'd have no advantage whatsoever in installing ubuntu studio instead of my current xubuntu i guess....?
[06:34] <fibz_> better application menu
[06:35] <delt> in what way better?
[06:35] <fibz_> if you have most of the stuff studio has, your launcher menu is a mess
[06:37] <fibz_> you likely dont
[06:38] <fibz_> if you can navigate your multimedia sub-menu, your fine
[06:38] <delt> nah ....... btw, i like in slackware's xfce setup, i have a settings that contains all the settings items, instead of just the settings item (windows control panel - like)
[06:38] <fibz_> it was like that in previous versions
[06:38] <fibz_> thats a new "feature"
[06:39] <fibz_> good for beginners / windows converts
[06:39] <fibz_> you can edit your menu by right clicking on the launcher icon -> Properties -> edit menu
[06:41] <delt> there's just "new menu" and "new item" ... do i have to add them all by hand?
[06:41] <delt> or is there some kind of "special" settings-menu?
[06:41] <fibz_> unfortunately. but you can save it and use it for future installs / rollouts
[06:42] <delt> gahhh i accidentally deleted the settings thing :/
[06:43] <fibz_> hit the restore system configuration button
[06:43] <delt> add new command, xfce4-settings-manager ...right?
[06:43] <delt> yeah that button doesn't do anything :/
[06:44] <fibz_> yeah thats what it is
[06:44] <fibz_> xfce4-settings-manager
[06:44] <delt> uh wtf i add it and it doesn't appear
[06:45] <delt> i think i'll just create a dummy user account and copy over its menu file
[06:45] <delt> somewhere in .config i presume?
[06:46] <delt> oh wait, in the launcher properties there's this "use system menu" vs. "use custom menu..."
[06:46] <delt> s/system/default/
[06:57] <delt> ok, now the "restore system configuration" button restores to the state without the settings entry :/
[06:58] <delt> [pts/4][root@laptop]:/home/dummy/.config/xfce4# find . | grep -i menu
[06:58] <delt> gives me nothing.
[07:03] <delt> *duh* it put them all under "other'
[07:03] <delt> "
[07:03] <delt> now there's no way to move one of them back to the top level.....
[07:18] <delt> i'm stuck with a defunct xfce menu now :(
[07:18] <delt> what file is it???
[07:23] <holden87> hi guys, anyone here using compton compositing, would just like a simple question:)
[07:31] <elfy> holden87: I'm not - but it'd be better for you to just ask the question - then if someone does - they can just read it ;)
[07:32] <delt> the menu editor really needs work :/
[07:34] <elfy> well we'll not be working with it - we'll be moving to something else hopefully
[07:35] <elfy> not that that's particulary helpful to you
[07:35] <delt> ie. something else than xfce?
[07:35] <delt> or just for the main menu?
[07:35] <elfy> http://www.smdavis.us/projects/menulibre
[07:37] <delt> that looks good...
[07:37] <holden87> elfy: thanks for the heads up. Well, i have a computer capable of running unity otherwise, but really like the cleanliness of xubuntu. What i don't like is screen tearing in flash, firefox and VLC. and i found a tutorial on installing compton for tear free compositing and some easy fading in menus, but i don't know how stable it is, as i'm otherwise not too comfortable running stuff not available through the official software channels. S
[07:37] <holden87> o, does anyone think i can encounter problems if i replace the compositing?
[07:39] <holden87> + elfy: is this solution okay for the volume icon: http://xubuntugeek.blogspot.com/2013/12/solved-xubuntu-1310-sound-indicator.html
[07:39] <elfy> holden87: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2014/01/06/%23xubuntu.html#t07:17
[07:40] <elfy> not saying it's stable mind - just showing what others have said recently
[07:40] <elfy> holden87: as far as the vol icon/ind issue - update - the fix is released
[07:41] <holden87> great. so in worst case scenario, i can fix the VLC by itself.
[07:41] <delt> elfy: what would be the consequence(s) of installing menulibre on this xubuntu system?
[07:41] <holden87> Oh, so after system updates it should work?
[07:42] <delt> ie. with apt-get (add ppa then install the package)
[07:42] <elfy> delt: not sure tbh - I think I looked at it when 13.10 was in dev - didn't cause me any problems that I can remember, but it is a ppa - AND the guy is working on menulibre2 now which fixes some things I believe
[07:42] <holden87> elfy: oh, it was published two days ago?
[07:42] <holden87> the sound update i mean :)
[07:43] <elfy> holden87: apparently - saw it go through - but I'm using trusty now with gtk3 indicators to test
[07:43] <holden87> Great. Thanks elfy.
[07:44] <elfy> holden87: go to - settings manager - updates tab - you need to have updates enabled I think - that was where it was released to
[07:44] <holden87> the best. thanks for your time!
[08:12] <xubuntu254> hey. one q. what will be the advantage of gtk3 indicators in 14.04? Do they look better?
[08:13] <Unit193> GTK3 ones are actually progressing, gtk2 ones are just a fork of what was there before gtk3.  Also, supporting GTK3 ones means that more indicators will work.
[08:27] <xubuntu254> thanks Unit193!
[08:27] <Unit193> Sure.
[08:30] <xubuntu254> oh forgotn something, i see that whisker menu is in proposal. since i don't like it all that much, will i be able to revert to the old menu?
[08:30] <xubuntu254> once whisker is implemented?
[08:31] <baizon> xubuntu254: yes you can always use the old menu
[08:32] <xubuntu254> thanks :) i'm out.
[09:28] <henry___> hi I am getting a black screen before I get the login screen on 13.10
[09:29] <henry___> I can however startx via the tty1
[09:29] <henry___> however sound and font anti-aliasing are off
[09:29] <henry___> probably some other things too but that is what I just noticed (because ti was easy)
[09:30] <henry___> could anyone offer some pointers? :)
[09:46] <ochosi> henry___: those settings are off because you don't get into the xubuntu session i assume, but into the xfce session
[09:46] <ochosi> (i assume)
[09:47] <henry___> ok
[09:47] <henry___> so... what now? :)
[09:49] <henry___> in the last 15 minutes I have been to hell and back o ngoogle
[09:50] <henry___> and askubuntu.com, but most people just seem to get it to work via some simple, stricly lightdm-related, measures
[10:46] <ochosi> henry___: you could try to check your lightdm logs in /var/log/lightdm
[10:46] <ochosi> you should try to find out why lightdm doesn't launch
[10:46] <ochosi> when fixing that, all other problems will most likely go away
[10:46] <henry___> I fixed it in the meantime, via #ubuntu
[10:47] <henry___> thank you though, also, you were right, I edited the lightdm.conf yesterda ywhich produced the crash
[10:47] <ochosi> okeydokey, good to hear!
[11:51] <xubuntu450> higuys, just wondering, do all of the ppa's work on xubuntu also? specifically the rhythmbox one..
[11:54] <knome> everything that works on ubuntu should work on xubuntu; but please be aware that you use all PPA's at your own risk.
[11:57] <xubuntu450> and how's stepping out of xfce defaults and isntalling gnomish software knome: ?
[11:57] <xubuntu450> can i expect any known problems there?
[11:58] <knome> shouldn't be any 'combatibility' problems, though you should expect some more resource usage
[11:59] <xubuntu450> That shouldn't be a problem, dual-core pentium and 4gigs of ram here :) Oh, and while i'm here, could you point me in the right direction for getting the shadow and thinner text on desktop icons like in xubuntu 12.04? anyway that can be done knome: ? thanks!
[12:00] <knome> ochosi, ^
[12:08] <xubuntu354> back knome:
[12:10] <xubuntu354> has anyone considered posting a blog similar to OMGUbu? If not, is the only problem manpower?
[12:11] <knome> omgubuntu does cover xubuntu issues as well
[12:12] <knome> and http://xubuntu.org/ does have some "ligther" articles as well
[12:13] <xubuntu354> oh, i see. i was just thinking about having a constant presence. Maybe connecting with the guy running xubuntu-geek blog might be worth a thought?
[12:13] <Myrtti> in what sense?
[12:15] <xubuntu354> in posting valuable tips& tricks and project news. the omgubuntu site seems to be scarce (though they could have a separate column, like they had for visiting debian writers)
[12:15] <xubuntu354> just in making the community a bit
[12:16] <xubuntu354> vibrant :) or vivrant :) i don't know what's the correct expression :)
[12:19] <knome> the xubuntu website covers project news already
[12:19] <knome> tips and tricks... well, we post such articles now and then as well
[12:20] <xubuntu354> oh, you are doing a hell of a job, don't misunderstand me :D
[12:20] <knome> if you're interested in helping, join us at #xubuntu-devel
[12:20] <knome> we do accept guest writer posts in xubuntu.org
[12:21] <xubuntu354> great, i'll drop by to see what's up. Now i have to cook lunch :) thanks for your responses guys, and keep up the good work!
[12:22] <knome> bon appetit
[12:22] <xubuntu354> thankyou :)
[12:53] <elprado> salve a tutti
[12:53] <elprado> sto installando per la seconda volta xubuntu
[12:53] <elprado> in un net book samsung nc-10
[12:53] <elprado> non riesco a risolvere un problema con la scheda wireless della atheros
[12:54] <elprado> funziona tutto se collegato in lan
[12:54] <elprado> ma sulla wireless no
[12:54] <elprado> mi fa vedere le reti disponibili
[12:54] <elprado> inserisco la password della rete
[12:54] <elprado> aspetto un minuto circa
[12:54] <elprado> e mi richiede la password
[12:55] <elprado> ho provato anche a disattivare la password sul router ma senza successo comunque

[12:55] <elprado> ops
[12:55] <elprado> grazie

[14:10] <xubuntu941> hello
[14:11] <xubuntu941> wath is non-pae kernel?
[14:12] <knome> a kernel that supports CPU's with no pae support
[14:14] <xubuntu941> ok.
[14:15] <xubuntu941> Brief description of your
[14:15] <xubuntu941> Brief description of your
[14:17] <xubuntu941> Brief description of your about cpu's with no pae support
[14:17] <knome> it's usually older CPU's that do not have the pae support
[14:18] <xubuntu941> what is pae?
[14:18] <knome> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[14:19] <knome> if you are trying to find out if your CPU supports PAE or not, why don't you rather tell us what your CPU is
[14:20] <xubuntu941> What is the abbreviation {pae}
[14:20] <knome> did you read what i posted? as the wikipedia link says, pae means "Physical Address Extension"
[14:22] <xubuntu941> ok.tank  of you
[14:22] <xubuntu941> i reading that page
[14:23] <xubuntu941> by
[15:36] <xubuntu037> Good day:...
[15:39] <xubuntu037> just need to know what the reason is, that there is no proprietary driver for my notebook (nvidia driver) in the additional drivers option in Xubuntu. But there is in Ubuntu..? If you can provide me with an answer I will apreciate...
[15:42] <ochosi> xubuntu037: generally speaking they use the same tool, so the only thing i can think of is different software-channels enabled or not updated your repository information in a while (sudo apt-get update)
[15:45] <xubuntu037> what software-channels to use for the spacified driver?
[15:50] <xubuntu037> any answer?
[15:54] <xubuntu037> OK...
[15:56] <SonikkuAmerica> xubuntu037: Hello!
[15:56] <xubuntu037> Hey
[15:56] <SonikkuAmerica> There's no driver included in Xubuntu, but there's one in Ubuntu proper?
[15:56] <xubuntu037> Ubuntu proper is the source?
[15:57] <SonikkuAmerica> Ubuntu proper is the one with Unity
[15:57] <xubuntu037> aha
[15:58] <xubuntu037> i was wondering why there is a driver for ubuntu but not for xubuntu.
[15:58] <xubuntu037> it is the same OS..
[15:59] <SonikkuAmerica> If you've run [ sudo apt-get update ] and added the partner repo, all I can think of is that maybe you don't need it for Xubuntu because it uses its own compositor while Unity uses Compiz...
[15:59] <xubuntu037> its depending on compiz
[16:00] <xubuntu037> tryed the update already
[16:00] <xubuntu037> not working
[16:02] <xubuntu037> but will try the partner repo. wher can i find the detaild adress of the partner repo?
[16:04] <SonikkuAmerica> Software and Updates under the Settings Manager
[16:05] <xubuntu037> ok. can find it in the settings..
[16:06] <xubuntu037> so thanks a lot for answering. have a good day.
[16:06] <xubuntu037> bye.
[16:29] <arcadio> Hi, I have problem with my Xubuntu 12.04. I have laptop and monitor. And I need workspace 1 on laptop laptop display and workspace 2 on monitor. I tried instructions from http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-multiple-monitors-in-xubuntu.html . But it does not work as I would like. Possibility to extend your display to the external monitor (s) is not possible.
[16:29] <arcadio> Can you help me please?
[16:31] <baizon> arcadio: have you tried arandr?
[16:31] <baizon> it's a simple gui to configure multiple displays
[16:32] <arcadio> No, I'm not even heard of. :) Uz about looking for something.
[16:33] <Sysi> arcadio: xfwm doesn't currently support separate workspaces on different monitors afaik
[16:33] <Sysi> but if you just want to not-mirror displays, aradr will do
[16:35] <arcadio> Baizon Thanks, I'll try to study and to run.
[16:38] <baizon> np
[16:38] <arcadio> Sysi thanks for the information.
[16:42] <arcadio> And one more question. Periodically during the installation of the program, sometimes less, sometimes more, I jump on me for a few seconds debconf blank window. What can I do?
[16:48] <arcadio> baizon>  I install, restart pc and run aradr. It is works, but I have shadows on display and monitor.
[18:28] <austinchilders> Hello! I am having trouble getting good transfer speeds over my gigabit LAN. When copying files with either Samba or NFS the file transfer maxes out at 8.5 MB/s yet when i test the network with iperf i am getting speeds of 940 Mb/s and the hard drive is not the problem because i have internal transfer speeds of ~150 MB/s on my server. Any help is appreciated, I'm running out of ideas.
[18:30] <TheSheep> austinchilders: did you try to just cat /dev/zero over netcat?
[18:31] <austinchilders> no i haven't
[18:32] <austinchilders> i tried coping and pasting the file over NFS and Samba shares
[18:32] <TheSheep> I would try that to rule out the protocol overhead
[18:33] <austinchilders> It shouldn't be that slow though, it seems that people on average get at least 30MB/s transfers
[18:33] <austinchilders> 8 is just terrible
[18:34] <austinchilders> ok thank you
[18:34] <TheSheep> well, if I wanted to know what slows it down, I would try to bypass different layers until I found which one is the slow one
[18:34] <austinchilders> read tha wrong
[18:34] <TheSheep> then I could start to experiment with various things in that layer to see what is actually happening
[18:36] <austinchilders> i'll experiment and see what I come up with
[18:44] <henry___> hi is there a keyboard shortcut for the "open terminal here" command, the one I can reach after I right-click into a folder?
[18:46] <TheSheep> henry___: you can give it a key shortcut for when the menu is open already
[18:46] <TheSheep> henry___: then it's two keystrokes -- open menu, select command
[18:46] <TheSheep> henry___: other than that, it doesn't seem to be working
[18:46] <TheSheep> with the normal gtk accelerator editing
[18:47] <henry___> "menu is open already" = the context menu which I opened via rightclick?
[18:48] <TheSheep> yes, or with the 'menu' key on the keyboard
[18:48] <TheSheep> or any other key you can bind to that
[18:49] <sergio-br2> elfy, how can i reset the xorg files?
[18:49] <henry___> hm ok...
[18:50] <henry___> random question: how do you people manage htop in regards to the F10 key?
[18:50] <TheSheep> henry___: to do that, go to edit -> configure custom actions, and rename your action adding a _ character before the letter that you want to be the shortcut
[18:50] <TheSheep> henry___: it will be underlined in the menu then
[18:51] <sergio-br2> i installed nvidia 331, got problem, purge it, and now the system does not boot (it boot, but now xubuntu splash screen gets corrupted).
[18:52] <henry___> adding the "_newkey" after the options for the paths or before?
[18:52] <henry___> or do I need to close thunar (all folders) for thaT?
[18:52] <elfy> sergio-br2: not the best channel for this - #ubuntu+1 perhaps or -devel at a push - but basically I had to rewrite /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf after purging it
[18:53] <TheSheep> henry___: I renamed it to "Open _Terminal Here"
[18:53] <sergio-br2> elfy, thanks
[18:53] <henry___> oh, *rename*
[18:53] <henry___> woops that was stupid
[18:54] <henry___> thank you!
[18:55]  * henry___ is away: Ich bin beschäftigt
[18:55] <elfy> sergio-br2: purging nvidia that is - not lightdm
[19:13]  * henry___ is back (gone 00:17:50)
[19:20] <knome> henry___, please do not use public away/unaway messages. thanks
[19:21] <henry___> knome, sure, will do!
[19:31] <Orioa> i have a question...im getting this error (umount/mnt/multimedia/: command not found
[19:33] <elfy> Orioa: space between umount and /mnt
[19:33] <Orioa> i will try it ty
[19:34] <Orioa> tyvm that worked
[20:30] <delt> hello
[20:30] <delt> what was that line again, to fix the volume notify in the upper panel?
[20:31] <delt> or i think there was also a package you could install...
[20:34] <delt> (i'm on ubuntu-studio now)
[20:37] <elfy> it should be in saucy-updates - you might need to enable that repo
[20:42] <delt> oh..... it just auto updated :3
[21:05] <delt> oh.... that stupid lid thing
[21:05] <delt> what was the file i needed to edit for that?
[21:06] <brainwash> delt: bug 1222021
[21:10] <delt> what was the file i needed to edit to manually override that.... somewhere in /etc/lightdm/something..?
[21:17] <delt> AH /etc/systemd/logind.conf that's the file i was looking for
[21:51] <delt> if i change the HandleLidSwitch to ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf , on subsequent logins i get two "program error" boxes
[21:51] <delt> this happens both on xubuntu and ubuntu-studio
[21:57] <delt> took a screenshot: http://www.deimos.ca/miscjunk/ubuntustudio-2errors.png
[22:09] <delt> oh, now after rebooting i just get one error box, not 2
[22:13] <brainwash> delt: posting a screenshot of these error dialogs does not help at all, did you actually press the "Report problem..." button?
[22:15] <brainwash> delt: your initial issue can be solved by installing the patched xfce4-power-manager package from the PPA mentioned in the linked bug report
[22:17] <delt> brainwash: thanks for the help
[22:19] <delt> Adding the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~noskcaj/+archive/power-manager-systemd should fix this. It uses the patches from openSUSE. It's still a work in progress as the current patches break autoreconf
[22:19] <delt> this one?
[22:22] <brainwash> yes
[22:25] <delt> ok, added the ppa, ran "apt-get install xfce4-power-manager" ... that should do it?
[22:26] <brainwash> + relog
[22:26] <brainwash> or manual restart of xfce4-power-manager
[22:26] <delt> oh.... apt-get update just before grabbing xfce4-power-manager
[22:27] <delt> killall -HUP?
[22:27] <brainwash> right, you need to update the package lists before
[22:28] <delt> or just kill it
[22:28] <brainwash> just kill and start it again
[22:29] <delt> there's 2, i don't know if this comes from the install script: user      1439  0.0  0.4 362536  9508 ?        Ssl  17:07   0:00 xfce4-power-manager --restart --sm-client-id 2b0298fbd-66d1-4a30-b835-860ccb1bba31
[22:29] <delt> it restarted itself when i killed both
[22:29] <brainwash> or try xfce4-power-managar --restart
[22:29] <delt> user      1493  0.0  0.1  20944  3292 ?        Ss   17:07   0:00 xfce4-power-manager
[22:30] <delt> ah, the settings applet said it wasn't running and asked me if i want to run it
[22:31] <delt> yay, works :D
[22:31] <brainwash> great :)
[22:36] <delt> is there a way to get the default xfce menu with all the settings modules instead of just the windowz-ish control panel thing?
[22:41] <David-A> delt: can you chose between "xfce session" and "xubuntu session" before login? in that case, try "xfce session". (disclaimer: it may not solve your problem)
[22:43] <brainwash> delt: you can open the app menu properties (right-click on the panel item) and choose another menu file, try /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu
[22:45] <delt> ah, thanks
[22:47] <delt> now what was the file i needed to edit to enable X11 listening on tcp....?
[22:47] <delt> there was /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc .....
[22:47] <delt> but i had to add the option to another file somewhere....
[22:49] <delt> ah got it
[22:49] <delt> David-A: not that i can see.... you mean at the login screen?
[22:50] <brainwash> you meant lightdm.conf?
[22:51] <delt> yeah found it from my irc logs =)
[22:52] <delt> what's the package name(s) if i want to install all of kde?
[22:52] <pRookie> Hello, sorry for interruption, but I'm looking for solution of hanging shut down in Xubuntu.
[22:52] <delt> searching the repo just gives me each app individually
[22:53] <brainwash> delt: try "kubuntu-desktop"
[22:54] <delt> ah thanks
[22:54] <brainwash> this meta-package will pull many KDE packages, but not all
[22:55] <delt> all those needed for a working kde desktop?
[22:56] <brainwash> kubuntu-desktop should fit your needs
[22:56] <brainwash> but it also installs the kubuntu boot splash screen
[22:57] <brainwash> and maybe other "useless" stuff
[22:57] <delt> doesn't interfere with my normal system?
[22:58] <brainwash> it shouldn't, it only bloats it a bit
[22:58] <delt> bloats in what way?
[22:59] <brainwash> it requires disk space
[22:59] <delt> ah ok
[22:59] <brainwash> and adds new app menu entries
[22:59] <delt> about 200mb download, 600mb disk space used
[22:59] <delt> not so bad
[23:00] <brainwash> so setting up a virtual machine or testing KDE/Kubuntu in live mode might be the better option
[23:00] <delt> oh btw is there an e-mail indicator for the xfce panel?
[23:00] <brainwash> if you don't want to mess with your system
[23:00] <brainwash> there is
[23:01] <brainwash> xfce4-mailwatch-plugin
[23:01] <delt> argh, the other install is blocking apt-get
[23:02] <brainwash> starting with Xubuntu 14.04 the normal email/messaging indicator will return
[23:02] <brainwash> the mailwatch-plugin is a panel plugin which you need to add manually to the panel
[23:03] <delt> oh btw, when it comes out, to update do i need to install/update from a dvd again, or updating packages will be enough?
[23:04] <brainwash> upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04 will be possible
[23:04] <delt> without having to run the install from a cd/dvd?
[23:04] <brainwash> yes
[23:04] <delt> was just wondering
[23:05] <delt> 75% downloading kde....
[23:05] <delt> <--- dsl
[23:05] <kRush> I think I never had a clean dist-upgrade
[23:06] <kRush> no idea whom that works for
[23:06] <brainwash> my current system is running 13.10 right now, and I started with 11.04
[23:07] <brainwash> but you are right, if you customize your system and tend to add many PPAs, then your are likely to encounter problems during the upgrade process
[23:07] <kRush> how much fiddling was involved?
[23:08] <kRush> I don't even use ppas
[23:08] <delt> what's "many" ppa's?
[23:08] <brainwash> not much actually, because I use a minimal setup and know how to deal with most errors
[23:09] <brainwash> delt: well, even 1 PPA can cause trouble
[23:09] <delt> i want to have kde because there's lots of kde apps that i use actually, and i didn't feel like chasing after all of them one by one
[23:10] <delt> ah, then i should remove them after i dl'd whatever i want, right?
[23:10] <brainwash> so it's best if you restore all packages to the official ones before upgrading
[23:10] <delt> there's cinelerra that wasn't in the official packages
[23:11] <brainwash> no, by removing the PPA you won't get any upgrades from that PPA
[23:12] <brainwash> so while using your system it really does not matter
[23:12] <brainwash> only when consider upgrading to next release (13.10 -> 14.04)
[23:13] <delt> uh... why does the kde install update my boot loader?
[23:13] <brainwash> it's safer to revert the packages to the official state and re-enable the PPAs afterwards
[23:14] <delt> ....twice?
[23:14] <brainwash> twice?
[23:17] <delt> oh, kde install updated grub. twice.
[23:19] <delt> that mail checker will honor /var/spool/mail right?
[23:19] <brainwash> I guess no
[23:19] <delt> :(
[23:19] <delt> is there another mail checker i can use then :3
[23:20] <brainwash> you can use the generic monitor panel plugin, it can run a script periodically and display the output
[23:21] <brainwash> sadly no icon support
[23:22] <brainwash> or interaction via menu
[23:22] <kRush> you run xubuntu with kde? oO
[23:27] <delt> haha, the boot entry for ubuntu studio got changed to kubuntu :D
[23:27] <delt> still boots fine tho
[23:27] <brainwash> ah, right
[23:27] <delt> just out of curiosity,... how do i change it back -)
[23:27] <brainwash> can be changed though
[23:28] <delt> in /boot/somewhere i guess..?
[23:28] <brainwash> I would need to google that
[23:28] <brainwash> I assume /etc/grub.d
[23:29] <delt> (i've been using slackware for over a decade so gimme a break :D :D )
[23:30] <brainwash> so why the "downgrade" to Ubuntu?
[23:30] <brainwash> isn't slackware awesome?
[23:31] <delt> yeah, i still run it on my other machine and on the server
[23:31] <fibz_> slak is too much work
[23:32] <delt> but once it works, it works for good
[23:32] <fibz_> yup
[23:32] <delt> yeah got this new laptop and i thought i'd try some other linux distro's
[23:33] <delt> ubuntu studio seems to be my #1 choice so far.
[23:34] <brainwash> delt: it's /etc/default/grub.d/50_kubuntu.cfg
[23:34] <fibz_> studio is great. i love it. starting to want more compiz effects, but its a great XP replacement
[23:34] <brainwash> remove that file and run "sudo update-grub"
[23:35] <delt> chmod -x that file && update-grub, right?
[23:36] <brainwash> this was also 1 reason why your grub config got updated during the installation of KDE/kubuntu
[23:36] <brainwash> -x might do it
[23:37] <brainwash> or rm/mv
[23:37] <delt> default/grub.d contains 2 files, one for ubu studio and one for kubu
[23:37] <brainwash> yes, so the kubuntu one apparently has higher priority
[23:37] <fibz_> you probably have more than one greeter as well (kvm and lightdm)
[23:37] <delt> because of alphabetical order i would guess
[23:38] <delt> it stays with lightdm
[23:38] <fibz_> kvm likely installed
[23:38] <brainwash> did the boot splash change?
[23:38] <delt> no such command
[23:38] <delt> nope
[23:38] <brainwash> ok
[23:40] <xubuntu930> Hi, I'm a complete newbie to Linux, using 12.04. I'm struggling to run .sh scripts over ssh using chmod +x - nothing seems to happen when I type sudo chmod +x mine_litecoins.sh. Each line of the script works individually, but nothing seems to happen from the script (e.g. even directory doesn't change in terminal)
[23:41] <delt> xubuntu930: you usually run chmod +x once, to make it executable.
[23:42] <delt> then you can just type ./script-name
[23:42] <delt> another way without having to chmod the files is to specify "sh scriptname"
[23:42] <xubuntu930> oh, I see. that one changes the properties of the file via terminal. thankyou
[23:42] <delt> but then make sure it's indeed a shell script
[23:42] <xubuntu930> file is .sh
[23:43] <delt> ok, what's it supposed to do?
[23:43] <xubuntu930> is that enough?
[23:43] <delt> type "file mine_litecoins.sh" (hint: you can use TAB to auto-complete filenames)
[23:43] <xubuntu930> it is 5 or 6 lines to set up GPUs and start cgminer
[23:44] <pRookie> Does the file starts with #! bash_something?
[23:44] <delt> the "file" command will try to examine the file and tell you what kind of file it is, regardless of filename
[23:44] <xubuntu930> yep #!/bin/sh
[23:45] <brainwash> crypto coin mining =S
[23:45] <delt> #!/some/command at the start of a script means it gets executed using /some/command
[23:46] <delt> in this case, /bin/sh which is the default unix shell
[23:46] <delt> on most linux systems, it's just a symlink to bash
[23:47] <delt> which is a more powerful shell but fully backwards compat with the original sh
[23:48] <pRookie> How can I see shutdown log and check which process is hanging my shutdown procedure?
[23:48] <delt> /var/log/messages?
[23:50] <pRookie> /var/log is OK, but no messages file.
[23:50] <brainwash> try syslog instead
[23:50] <brainwash> /var/log/syslog
[23:51] <xubuntu930> ok ! I just tried it and that worked beautifully. Thanks
[23:52] <pRookie> I would make a good party if I know to read those logs. :)
[23:54] <pRookie> When I jit Escape during shutdown I see some messages ... but it does not said precisely what process is the problem.
[23:54] <pRookie> no jit ... hit
[23:57] <xubuntu256> I have an old inspiron 1200 with a dell 1350 wireless card how do I setup the internet with this?
[23:57] <fibz_> pRookie,  check out /var/log/syslog file /var/log/dmesg
[23:57] <xubuntu256> thank you
[23:58] <fibz_> xubuntu256,  we need to know what kind of wireless chipset you are using. go to app luancher ("start") -> terminal emulator -> type: lspci
[23:58] <pero> so, is there any way i can set chromium as my default browser and have it stick or what
[23:58] <fibz_> what do you see for networking?
[23:59] <fibz_> pero launcher -> settings -> settings manager -> default applications   should be the ticket. otherwise one of your browsers is set to check if it is default, and set itself as default if its not
