[00:03] <wolfstar> question what are the specs for hard ware for the 32bit version
[00:05] <David-A> wolfstar: see "minimum requirements" at the bottom of http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[00:06] <wolfstar> Thanks
[04:48] <xubuntu542> hello
[05:17] <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.
[05:18] <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?
[05:19] <danmc> didn't work with the live cd either.
[05:20] <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
[05:28] <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!
[05:29] <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 :)
[05:57] <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?
[08:29] <CountryfiedLinux> Is there an icon only task manager for Xfce?
[08:30] <TheSheep> what do you mean?
[08:41] <CountryfiedLinux> TheSheep, http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/uploads/applets/DCF3-Y4KB-FLEW.png
[08:44] <TheSheep> CountryfiedLinux: what am I looking at?
[08:44] <CountryfiedLinux> The app windows are grouped to the icon like in Windows 7.
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <CountryfiedLinux> I'll try that thanks brb
[08:48] <TheSheep> if it hijacked the right-click menu for other things, you can also get to the properties through Panel -> Panel Preferences -> Items
[10:20] <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?
[10:21] <cfhowlett> littlebit, any changes made to your menu are sandboxed to you - not to the global system
[10:22] <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.
[10:26] <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 ...
[10:27] <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
[10:28] <littlebit> Juv1228: and from there? where do I go?
[10:31] <Juv1228> littlebit, copy /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu to ~/.config/menus/mynewmenu.menu
[10:32] <littlebit> Juv1228: ok done
[10:33] <Juv1228> now make your second application menu item use that menu file instead
[10:33] <littlebit> Juv1228: ok
[10:34] <Juv1228> unfortunately the built in settings UI doesnt seem to let you edit the custom menu, but there are programs available for it
[10:38] <littlebit> Juv1228: where can I find the documentation of that grammar
[10:48] <Juv1228> littlebit, from a terminal do this
[10:48] <Juv1228> alacarte mynewmenu.menu
[10:49] <Juv1228> it should open up the menu editor for the new file
[10:51] <littlebit> Juv1228: ok, but one last question. What if I want a dropdown menu ONLY for my office programs
[10:52] <Juv1228> just delete all the other items from the new menu file
[11:32] <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?
[11:34] <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
[11:35] <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

[15:42] <damiank> xubuntu885: i don't use SS, but you mean you dont see any panel or menu?
[15:52] <damiank> xubuntu885 i can help if you need
[16:29] <tckuan> hi
[16:30] <tckuan> need help please
[17:00] <xubuntu885> That's right, no panel, no menu, but also my background's gone, as well as desktop icons
[17:01] <xubuntu885> just have a grey screen with browser window
[17:22] <holstein> xubuntu885: do you have a question a volunteer can help address?
[17:27] <xubuntu478> how to continue installation....it doesn't move
[17:29] <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
[17:30] <holstein> make certain it is locked up..
[17:30] <xubuntu478> it's written : --auto --force --quiet
[17:31] <xubuntu478> i didn't instruct to stop installation
[17:31] <holstein> xubuntu885: so, are you locked up? or able to access tty's?
[17:32] <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 "
[17:33] <holstein> xubuntu885: if you are able to access those, the machine is not "locked up"
[21:46] <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?
[21:47] <henrylinux> if I hit the context menu key on my keyboard, it doesn't show
[21:52] <drc> What is your "context menu key" ? When I hit mine, I see "Open Terminal Here" about 3/4 the way down.
[21:55] <henrylinux> it's the one right of "alt gr"
[21:55] <henrylinux> ... on my German keyboard, that is :/
[21:57] <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?
[21:58] <henrylinux> yes I am now sitting on a file
[21:59] <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
[22:00] <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!
[22:01] <drc> nope, no can do (afaik)
[22:01] <henrylinux> can't you be nice and lie? *smileyface*
[22:01] <henrylinux> meh, damnit. :(
[22:02] <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
[22:03] <henrylinux> or is it possible to un-highlight a file?
[22:03] <henrylinux> henrylinux, glad you asked.
[22:04] <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.
[22:05] <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] <henrylinux> np

[23:10] <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.
