[00:00] <ddsss> shit. I've uninstalld something from ubuntu software center -> and my desktop disappeared. I've installed xfdesktop4 and got desktop back. But now ther is no sound -> what package to install to get soun and sound indicator back?
[00:01] <holstein> !language > ddsss
[00:01] <AussieDownUnder> The flip, tried to drag & drop Antichamber.sh installer for a game into another folder, it took me to a wrong folder & I couldn't push esc to cancel putting it in there, I then deleted the file thinking it would of copied it there but no it moved it, now I can't find the file in the rubbish bin. Can I get it back somehow?
[00:01] <ddsss> @ubuttu -> I hate you
[00:01] <holstein> ddsss: i would install pavucontrol, and just run that and see whats going on
[00:02] <holstein> ddsss: please use the #xubuntu-offtopic channel for chat
[00:02] <holstein> AussieDownUnder: just search for the file
[00:02] <ddsss> holstein, kewl. thanks. let me try that.
[00:07] <AussieDownUnder> holstein, it's not in its original location, it's obviously not in the folder I deleted it from & it ain't in the waste bin
[00:08] <holstein> AussieDownUnder: sure.. just search the entire drive for it.. no one here is going to know where you happened to have accidentally lost it
[00:08] <holstein> AussieDownUnder: otherwise, just re-obtain, and excercise caution
[00:12] <ddsss> holstein, just reinstall xubunu-desktop fixed all my problems. all good:)
[00:13] <holstein> ddsss: cheers
[00:13] <ddsss> man. so glad I got an ssd - frigging xubuntu boots in 5 seconds.
[00:14] <Poisoned_Dragon> sounds cool
[00:14] <Poisoned_Dragon> You probably don't even see the plymouth splash screens.
[00:14] <ddsss> plymouth - what's plymouth.lol
[00:15] <ddsss> Poisoned_Dragon, but no - very very fast.
[00:15] <Poisoned_Dragon> XD
[00:25] <Algalon> Hey guys, anyone remember me from yesterday? Was doing my first install and joined #xubuntu from the handy IRC client in the installer. Anyway I tried to get my graphics cards setup for a while but called it a night and decided to come back later to it. I have a GTX 560 Ti and a GT610.. The 560Ti powers 2 1080p monitors and the 610 powers a single 1080p screen. I'm trying to get the nvidia drivers working but kept running into
[00:25] <Algalon> problems on subsequent boots and have to fix it back to working on the open source driver again....
[00:26] <Algalon> I thought about foregoing the settings panel and getting the driver off the nvidia site and giving that a go.
[00:27] <Algalon> Does anyone have experience with setting up a multi screen setup on more than 1 card ?
[00:27] <holstein> sure
[00:27] <holstein> but, unless you talk to someone with your hardware setup, you can have a much different experience
[00:28] <Algalon> do you think i'm better off pulling the 610 and going down to 2 screens?
[00:28] <holstein> i just use arandr to setup dual head
[00:28] <Algalon> for the time being
[00:28] <fibz_> ^
[00:28] <holstein> Algalon: what operating system are you coming from?
[00:29]  * Algalon prepares for the wave of hate
[00:29] <Algalon> 8.1
[00:29] <holstein> Algalon: think about how long you used windows before doing any multi screens. and consider just taking it easy for a bit
[00:29] <holstein> Algalon: im talking about, what you are used to.. set me down in front of win8 and i sure i might have a hard time setting up multiple monitors..
[00:30] <Algalon> true... i've run multiscreen at work & home since ~2001-2002.. 3 since '06 heh
[00:30] <holstein> Algalon: i would just troubleshoot each device and make sure the linux support is there... and use arandr to configure what need..
[00:30] <Algalon> kk
[00:31] <holstein> Algalon: sure.. but, you likely didnt start on 2+ screens.. you likely used one for years
[00:31] <Algalon> i think i am going to start by pu lling the 610 and seeing if i can get the proprietary running
[00:31] <Poisoned_Dragon> To be honest, I don't think I had much issues using multi-monitor in windows.
[00:31] <Poisoned_Dragon> But, I don't do multi-monitor, anymore. I just don't need it.
[00:31] <Algalon> yeah, but 12 years old technology ....
[00:31] <Algalon> i mean i have 3 screens working
[00:31] <Algalon> but on the slow driver
[00:31] <Algalon> problem is switching to the proprietary
[00:31] <holstein> sure.. and the hardware doesnt promise you linux support
[00:32] <Algalon> indeed
[00:32] <holstein> Algalon: you may not get "better" results from the proprietary one
[00:32] <Algalon> unless the open source one has caught up recently for steam the proprietary one is faster than windows in some source benchmarks
[00:33] <Algalon> opengl instead of directx but still great performance
[00:33] <holstein> Algalon: im just being realistic.. it depends on your specific hardare
[00:33] <holstein> hardware*
[00:34] <fibz_> and i havent run nvidia since the debut of the FX line
[03:10] <Algalon> pulled the 610 and did a clean install, switch to the binary driver and now it's running great. down to 2 monitors.. may look for a 3 digital output video card..
[03:25] <kindebuhds> Hello World!
[04:49] <jxf> I'm trying to get xfce4-terminal showing 256 colors, but there's no terminfo entry for xterm-256color. Where can I go to get one?
[04:53] <cfhowlett> jxf, see xfce.org   there may an entry/support channel listing there

[05:14] <Mohit> hey guys.. i just installed XUBUNTU 13.10 desktop in my virtual machine.. but i am stucked in CUI mode...
[05:14] <Mohit> how can i enter in GUI??
[05:44] <Sport> recently made switch from windows to xubuntu on an old laptop (nonPAE), installed 12.04, can I now update to latest on my nonPAE laptop or will that still not work for me?
[05:50] <kindebuhds> Sport, it does not seem so ref: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present
[05:53] <Sport> Thanks kindebuhds - I had read conflicting articles on the possibility of installing 12.04 (nonPAE) and then once installed updating to 13.10. It' an old Pentium M laptop.
[05:58] <kindebuhds> i see what you mean also found http://zo0ok.com/techfindings/archives/1098 say he went from 13.04 with fakepae and upgrade successfuly
[06:05] <Sport> Thanks for that article, reading it now. One of the few I missed apparently. Cheers.
[07:24] <stick__> hi
[10:48] <someone235> Hi, before two days my speakers suddenly started to make a white noise. Sometimes it stops, and then suddenly starts again. What can I do?
[10:49] <AussieDownUnder> Anyone else have problems importing contacts properly into Mozilla Thunderbird? I exported a file from my outlook with the addresses from there but when I import to mozilla it's all wrong & missing stuff.
[10:58] <rammos90> Hello
[10:59] <rammos90> Does anyone know how to open de menu with a key on the keyboard in xubuntu
[11:03] <AussieDownUnder> Alt+F1
[11:03] <elfy> too late - patience was not a virtue in that one
[11:19] <paulo> i have xubuntu 12.04 lts, and i had working perfectly proprietary drivers for an ati radeon hd4550. Yesterday, i havve not it anymore...anyone can give me a light about that?
[11:20] <paulo> i had the proprietary drivers on my system, since i installed xubuntu...yesterday not anymore, i have already installed the system again...and it doesn't find the proprietary drivers
[11:37] <SirLagz> my battery indicator is always sitting at 50%% on xubuntu 13.10. why is that ?
[11:37] <SirLagz> and it actually says "50%%" with the 2 %s
[12:24] <allstarsnorks2> Hi guys. How do I set my default file explorer as Nautilus instead of Thunar? I am basing an operating system off Xubuntu and I prefer Nautilus as the file manager
[13:57] <Stukii> I need some help I have installed shoutcast server 1.9.8 on ubuntu , sv is up ,i'm logged in http as admin but cannot connect with sam to server
[13:59] <Stukii> pff
[14:01] <TonyTate> Hello Guys. I'm trying to install xubuntu in my new laptop follwing the instructions in the UEFI page of helpUbuntu. When I try to "try xubuntu without installing" (step 3). It stops booting with the last message shown being: starting configure virtual network devices.
[14:01] <TonyTate> Anyone can help me out?
[14:13] <GridCube> TonyTate, let me see
[14:15] <GridCube> mmm internet doesnt show me any reason why it should fail
[14:15] <TonyTate> I think I have to boot with nomodeset and noapic
[14:15] <GridCube> but at this level the issue is hardly on the xubuntu's part of the forest, you probably will get better answers asking on #ubuntu
[14:15] <TonyTate> Yeah, thanks.
[14:16] <GridCube> you can still wait here if you want, im sure eventually someone will be able to help you TonyTate
[14:17] <TonyTate> Yeah, I'm googling hard to see if I can work it out.
[14:56] <Capprentice> Is it possible to use Desktop Cube effects on Xubuntu ?1
[15:00] <Capprentice> Dead peoples ! -_-
[15:00] <Capprentice> Ooo !la la la o...oo oo o o la la ! Im in the zombie land !
[15:00] <Capprentice> @_@
[15:01] <Capprentice> HELLO !? Ding Dong ! nybody home ??!
[15:01] <GridCube> !patience
[15:01] <Capprentice> Where are the friggin peoples ?!!
[15:01] <GridCube> !compiz
[15:01] <Capprentice> Im out of Patience !
[15:01] <GridCube> Capprentice, compiz is not actually fully supported anymore
[15:02] <GridCube> if you want to use compiz you will have to find your own way to use it
[15:02] <Capprentice> Thats why Im looking for some one to ask about KWIN ! Is it possible to use KWIN in XFCE ?
[15:02] <Capprentice> I know I should have chosen KDE :\
[15:02] <cfhowlett> Capprentice, !  ask the xfce channel! or look at www.xfce.org!
[15:03] <Capprentice> Whoa ! You are here too ! cfhowlett
[15:03] <GridCube> Capprentice, we are not here to serve you, if you change your attitude and ask properly we might know how to help you
[15:03] <Capprentice> @_@
[15:03] <GridCube> else i don't see why anyone would bother
[15:03] <cfhowlett> ^^^^ agreed.
[15:03] <Capprentice> I was just kidding...no hard feelings ...
[15:03] <Capprentice> :)
[15:04] <cfhowlett> Capprentice, wasn't funny earlier today, still not funny now.
[15:04] <Capprentice> Getting bored...so thought do some stupid things...I respect you all.
[15:04] <GridCube> Capprentice, then ask a proper question, explain what you want todo, what you did, what you expect to happen, and why you think is not happening
[15:06] <Capprentice> Okay I have tried to use Compiz Destop Cube thing reading this guide from here -
[15:06] <Capprentice> http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Compiz_and_Emerald
[15:06] <Capprentice> But that resulted in system crash.
[15:07] <Capprentice> I always kicked out of the GUI to tty konsole
[15:08] <Capprentice> Is there a need for x64 bit system or more than 2GB ram to run Compiz ?
[15:09] <cfhowlett> Capprentice, more graphics and eye candy means more demand on ram - and 2 gigs is pretty minimal already.
[15:09] <Capprentice> I could not find the link now, but I have watched some videos on this as well. Can any one point me to a guide which can exlpain every step on how to do! what to do..and
[15:09] <peyam> my xubuntu is using 900 Mb on idle
[15:09] <peyam> its too  much but free ram is wasted ram
[15:10] <Capprentice> Mine uses 800 MB !
[15:10] <peyam> now 1.35
[15:10] <peyam> just becouse im writing
[15:10] <peyam> haha
[15:10] <Capprentice> I have 2 GB on my Laptop where I run Xubuntu and some others and On Dektop I have 4 GB  (Windows , Ubuntu and Fedora :P)
[15:10] <peyam> I gues it has something to do with video driver.. it uses ram
[15:11] <peyam> I have 8 on my desktop
[15:11] <peyam> running like a rocket
[15:11] <Capprentice> No Idea. though I like to keep my Lubuntu clean, but effects like Desktop Cude, Wooby Windows would be nice to have
[15:11] <peyam> btw. I found a solution for installing menulibre in 13.10
[15:11] <peyam> I will blog about it now
[15:12] <Capprentice> ^Xubuntu.
[15:13] <Capprentice> Is there any way to Iceweasel and Firefox side by side ? I dont like Seamonkey.
[15:13] <Capprentice> ^run
[15:14] <Capprentice> Dead group. Im leaving. Bye bye,.
[15:14] <Capprentice> BOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRINNN
[15:18] <koegs> how could i remove the window decorations? i do not need them :)
[15:20] <peyam> koegs, what window decoration? go in to setting manager > windows tweak manager
[15:21] <koegs> peyam: mostly the "titlebar" which you can grap to move a window
[15:21] <peyam> I dodnt know. look at window manager! or use a minimalistic theme like prelunde-drf-0.5
[15:21] <peyam> in xfce-look
[15:22] <peyam> and out the font size to 0
[15:22] <koegs> no title bar is better than a small title bar :)
[15:25] <koegs> got it, latest comment: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php?content=140039
[15:31] <koegs> peyam: thx for pointing at xfce-look :)
[15:31] <peyam> :)
[18:38] <xubuntu894> hi
[18:54] <rafkid> hi all :)
[18:57] <rafkid> I am in the process of upgrading from 12.1 to 13.1 as I write - I went off to eat and came back to a message about lib6c - where would I put forward a suggestion about not asking questions of the user during an upgrade?
[18:57] <TheSheep> !bugs | rafkid
[18:57] <rafkid> thanks :)
[18:58] <flux242> I'd wait for 14.04 lts before upgrading anyway
[19:07] <cookiedavis> hey guys. for some reason my mouse isn't working in xubuntu. i really don't need it as I just want to execute some via command line.  anyway I can make the command line prompt from a keyboard call?
[19:10] <flux242> win-t
[20:23] <cookieda_> @flux242 Thanks. it worked
[20:29] <Miltos> Hi ppl:-)
[20:30] <Miltos> How do I start xfce from terminal?
[20:30] <Miltos> startx simply crashes the system...
[20:34] <TheSheep> startxfce
[20:35] <TheSheep> (or was it xfcestart?)
[20:38] <Miltos> TheSheep: both do not work...
[20:41] <TheSheep> Miltos: well, maybe instead of concluding that it "just crashes" you should actually read the error messages and figure out what is wrong
[21:03] <krytarik> Miltos, TheSheep: It's "startxfce4". :)
