| xubuntu542 | hello | 04:48 |
| === dan87 is now known as danmc | ||
| danmc | just tried installing xubuntu-13.10, 32-bit. Installs ok but doesn't seem to configure either ethernet interface correctly. I don't much care which of the wired ethernet ports I use but I need one to work. One is a 3com 3c905C-TX/TX-M and the other is an intel pro100 VE.. lspci lists them both. Not sure of how to proceed. | 05:17 |
| holstein | i would try and remove or disable one in the bios.. both should work, but the intel would be where i would start... should be that it "just works", even the way you are doing it with both. how did they work from the live CD? | 05:18 |
| danmc | didn't work with the live cd either. | 05:19 |
| danmc | hardware is ok, I booted a NetBSD install CD to mount a NetBSD partition off the hard drive and retrieve some files via the network before wiping the drive. | 05:20 |
| danmc | will try to disable one in the bios | 05:20 |
| holstein | ifconfig in the terminal might help as well | 05:20 |
| danmc | holstein: I disabled the intel (the on board one, and the only one I saw how to disable in the bios) and now the other "Just Works". Thanks! | 05:28 |
| holstein | danmc: im sure theres some way to make them both work, or one work while both are enabled, but this is the easy way :) | 05:29 |
| xubuntu617 | I have set xubuntu to mirror displays with a television and immediately lost display on the computer, reboot did not solve this issue. How can I reset the default displayt settings during boot before i lose display? | 05:57 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Is there an icon only task manager for Xfce? | 08:29 |
| TheSheep | what do you mean? | 08:30 |
| CountryfiedLinux | TheSheep, http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/uploads/applets/DCF3-Y4KB-FLEW.png | 08:41 |
| TheSheep | CountryfiedLinux: what am I looking at? | 08:44 |
| CountryfiedLinux | The app windows are grouped to the icon like in Windows 7. | 08:44 |
| TheSheep | you can set the window list plugin in the panel to only display icons, and I think it has grouping | 08:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | How do I do that TheSheep ? | 08:45 |
| TheSheep | right-click on it, select preferences and see the options there | 08:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I'll try that thanks brb | 08:46 |
| TheSheep | if it hijacked the right-click menu for other things, you can also get to the properties through Panel -> Panel Preferences -> Items | 08:48 |
| littlebit | hi people, I want to know how to create my own Appications Menu without affecting the original one | 10:20 |
| littlebit | can someone help? | 10:20 |
| cfhowlett | littlebit, any changes made to your menu are sandboxed to you - not to the global system | 10:21 |
| littlebit | cfhowlett: i know, when freshly installing xubutnu I have my appicatoins menu. I want to leave that and add another one with my custom appications to it. I did a right click to the panel and added a applications menu and changed the contents of that menu. But the original one gets affected. | 10:22 |
| Juv1228 | littlebit, go to the properties for the application menu, in panel properties | 10:26 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: ok, and then | 10:26 |
| Juv1228 | and check "use custom menu file" instead of "use the default menu" | 10:26 |
| cfhowlett | littlebit, if you changed the admin acccount, that would effect global values ... | 10:26 |
| littlebit | cfhowlett: i know, but i'm not in the admin account | 10:27 |
| Juv1228 | cfhowlett, he wants two application menu items on his panel, with different menus | 10:27 |
| Juv1228 | it has nothing to do with default/global/system values, its which menu the application menu item is set to use | 10:27 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: and from there? where do I go? | 10:28 |
| Juv1228 | littlebit, copy /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to ~/.config/menus/mynewmenu.menu | 10:31 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: ok done | 10:32 |
| Juv1228 | now make your second application menu item use that menu file instead | 10:33 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: ok | 10:33 |
| Juv1228 | unfortunately the built in settings UI doesnt seem to let you edit the custom menu, but there are programs available for it | 10:34 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: where can I find the documentation of that grammar | 10:38 |
| Juv1228 | littlebit, from a terminal do this | 10:48 |
| Juv1228 | alacarte mynewmenu.menu | 10:48 |
| Juv1228 | it should open up the menu editor for the new file | 10:49 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: ok, but one last question. What if I want a dropdown menu ONLY for my office programs | 10:51 |
| Juv1228 | just delete all the other items from the new menu file | 10:52 |
| littlebit | Juv1228: ok, it works. but one last thing, if I want the contents of 'office' submenu only to be shown, how do I do that? | 11:32 |
| Juv1228 | in the menu editor just select the root on the left, and then add item | 11:34 |
| Juv1228 | duplicate all the items in the office submenu and then delete it | 11:34 |
| Juv1228 | as far as i know you cannot drag/drop the items out of their submenu, so you just have to recreate them in the menu editor, or manually edit the .menu file in a text editor | 11:35 |

| xubuntu885 | That's right, no panel, no menu, but also my background's gone, as well as desktop icons | 17:00 |
| xubuntu885 | just have a grey screen with browser window | 17:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu885: do you have a question a volunteer can help address? | 17:22 |
| xubuntu478 | how to continue installation....it doesn't move | 17:27 |
| holstein | xubuntu885: if "it" is referring to the mouse, and the machine is locked up, it likely wont continue.. i would check tty | 17:29 |
| holstein | !tty | 17:29 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 17:29 |
| holstein | make certain it is locked up.. | 17:30 |
| xubuntu478 | it's written : --auto --force --quiet | 17:30 |
| xubuntu478 | i didn't instruct to stop installation | 17:31 |
| holstein | xubuntu885: so, are you locked up? or able to access tty's? | 17:31 |
| xubuntu478 | what do you mean with tty ? | 17:32 |
| holstein | xubuntu885: see the link above ^^ | 17:32 |
| holstein | specifically " use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back " | 17:32 |
| holstein | xubuntu885: if you are able to access those, the machine is not "locked up" | 17:33 |

| henrylinux | hi, when I am in a folder (in Thunar) and already used the keyboard and thus marked a folder/file... is it possible to run "open terminal here" somehere? | 21:46 |
| henrylinux | if I hit the context menu key on my keyboard, it doesn't show | 21:47 |
| drc | What is your "context menu key" ? When I hit mine, I see "Open Terminal Here" about 3/4 the way down. | 21:52 |
| henrylinux | it's the one right of "alt gr" | 21:55 |
| henrylinux | ... on my German keyboard, that is :/ | 21:55 |
| === gry is now known as Guest38163 | ||
| henrylinux | drc, sure I see that as well, but only if I have done *nothing* in the folder besides entering it | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | And you are now sitting on a file? What happens if you go to a folder? | 21:57 |
| henrylinux | yes I am now sitting on a file | 21:58 |
| drc | As Unit193 says, the menu <is> different for files and folders. What else (the not "nothing") would you have done in the folder? | 21:59 |
| henrylinux | well I rename something, and then I decide to move something to another partition | 21:59 |
| henrylinux | like I just did: I renamed two mp3 files and wanted to cp them onto my windows partition's mp3 folder | 22:00 |
| henrylinux | had to click into the white space with the mouse to have that "Open Terminal Here" in the context menu (I suppose it's not a context menu then, stricly speaking) | 22:00 |
| drc | So, what you want to do is hi-lite a <file>, hit the menu context key, select Open Terminal Here...and then do something in the terminal? | 22:00 |
| henrylinux | yes! | 22:00 |
| drc | nope, no can do (afaik) | 22:01 |
| henrylinux | can't you be nice and lie? *smileyface* | 22:01 |
| henrylinux | meh, damnit. :( | 22:01 |
| drc | Maybe you can "configure custom action", but I have no knowledge on that (never have done it). | 22:02 |
| henrylinux | I have done that, it's pretty easy, you just have to add an underscore before the letter you want to use | 22:02 |
| henrylinux | or is it possible to un-highlight a file? | 22:03 |
| henrylinux | henrylinux, glad you asked. | 22:03 |
| Sysi | press esc? | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | because it is. | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | Sysi, nope :O | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | :P | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | Ctrl + space | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | on the highlit file | 22:04 |
| drc | henrylinux: I can figure out how to unhighlight a file (with just the keybiard) :( | 22:04 |
| henrylinux | just quick t&e up in dis b and evening is saved. wohoo. | 22:04 |
| drc | wow, you're right :) | 22:05 |
| henrylinux | drc, ctrl + space pon the highlit .... – nvm :) | 22:05 |
| drc | You Learn something new evety day.... | 22:05 |
| Unit193 | Or just use pcmanfm and hit 'F4' for the terminal. :P | 22:05 |
| drc | thanks :) | 22:05 |

| ludovik | I was looking online for a solution to this bug and was not able to find anything; I was hoping someone here might be familiar with it. I am using Xubuntu, latest release and when I select text in Abiword the selection colour is black, making the text unreadable. I have tried every GTK theme and it hasn't made a difference. | 23:10 |
