[03:07] problem started after i changed the keyboard shortcut for window resize (changed to alt+1) [03:09] fibz_: you can always blow out your user config and get "default" [03:09] where is it located? [03:10] fibz_: it depends on what you want to remove.. or reset [03:10] fibz_: somewhere in your /home should be all you are looking for [03:10] i dont know what i broke. i am in ./config and not sure where to go from here [03:11] fibz_: then, move the entire thing [03:11] fibz_: test.. then, put back what you want/need [03:11] k [03:27] deleted /home/user/.config/xfce4/ and that fixed it [03:27] thanks holstein [03:27] fibz_: cheers! [05:31] Anyone know how I can diagnose a xfce4-power-manager issue? I cannot get the dim setting to work on my laptop Lenovo G700 [05:35] Psil0Cybin, while not actually diagnosing it, ubuntu-bug xfce4-power-manager would help track down this issue [05:39] Noskcaj, I am kinda new to the process of filing bugs how would I go about doing this? [05:40] nvm Noskcaj I am doing that now [05:43] also, what version of xubuntu do you have? [05:45] Psil0Cybin, I think it's a bug i fixed in xubuntu 14.04 [05:46] Noskcaj, I am using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208549 is my thread on the forums [05:48] It's bug 1067749 that you have i think [05:48] bug 1067749 in xfce4-power-manager (Debian) "Screen refuses to dim on battery" [Unknown,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1067749 [05:56] Psil0Cybin, If you're able to, upgrade to 14.04 (we just released beta 1). If not, i can try and make the patch work in precise if you really need it. [06:00] I do not "really" need it, but I would love to learn how to fix this issue and perhaps patch it without adding a PPA? Or doing it manually? [06:00] Is this a difficult task? I am fairly new, but hate adding PPA's as they cause problems later on [06:00] well patching it is doing it manually [06:01] but you could make the .deb yourself fairly easily. [06:02] anyone having font issues since the last xubuntu chrome/nvidia/gtk upgrade? [06:04] tsaavik, That's a lot of different options. Maybe try looking at bug reports for the various packages you mentioned? [06:09] Yeah, been stalking around, no luck so far [06:09] I pushed the upgrade button and rebooted and WHAM, helvicta is BOLD and almost unreadable :( [06:10] even tried hacking up a custom.css to remap helvetica in chrome, but no dice [06:10] Maybe I can hold out another month for 14.04 :\ [06:11] tsaavik, It's fairly safe to upgrade to 14.04 now [06:16] Ah cool, i'll keep that as an option :D [08:13] Trying to install drivers for my Brother HL-3150CDN on xubuntu 14.04, it seems to list a wide range of Brother printer drivers in xubuntu but misses out the one I need (Which is just typical for me).

What could be causing this? [08:23] Not running it in windows that's what. I can't get it going either. [08:24] Works perfectly using Ubuntu with Unity, OpenSUSE, just cant seem to get it running right with any buntu distro that doesn't use Unity [08:37] Question guys when I run wow64 bit the mouse cursor looks fine but game crashes before it opens, if I run wow 32 bit game works perfectly but the mouse is gray. What could be causing this? [08:44] Hi there. I am really impressed of the Beta 14.04 Xubuntu, and I am wondering, if I install the Beta 1, will this be updated all the way to final? Or should I make a new install after final is released? [08:46] xubuntu631: update it and it will be [08:48] elfy: ....it will be.... updated until final? :-) [08:49] on that 14.04 xubuntu can you still get the non free ATI drivers? [08:50] xubuntu631: if you update - then you'll have the final [08:50] CrypticByte: no idea - don't use ATI cards [08:50] http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fglrx [08:51] fglrx are the proprietary ones [08:51] perhaps he means "radeon" [08:51] well I'm going to make a post on Winehq website about the gray mouse cursor but I fixed the problem [08:51] lol - like I said - no idea :p [08:51] CrypticByte: look on packages.ubuntu.com [08:51] It was in fact a 32bit lib that was missing but doing sudo apt-get install ia32-libs fixed the problem [08:52] CrypticByte, they have a channel here on freenode [08:52] #winehq [08:52] no ia32-libs in trusty [08:53] trusty, whats that [08:53] I'm just learning linux :P [08:53] 14.04 [08:53] release next month [08:53] as in 4th month 14 (2014) [08:53] so they will no longer be a ia32-libs thats crazy [08:54] you wont need it [08:54] I needed it now, what they do so differently next month [08:54] need it for what [08:54] !find ia32 [08:54] Found: grub-efi-ia32, grub-efi-ia32-bin, grub-efi-ia32-dbg, lsb-core, lsb-cxx, lsb-desktop, lsb-graphics, lsb-languages, lsb-multimedia, lsb-printing (and 2 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ia32&searchon=names&suite=saucy§ion=all [08:55] world of warcraft to get the mouse cursor working, only way I found that it works [08:55] http://askubuntu.com/questions/107230/what-happened-to-the-ia32-libs-package [08:55] what version you on [08:55] version of what [08:55] xubuntu [08:56] lsb_release -a in the terminal [08:56] I'm on Mint currently I been debating on switching over [08:56] uh thats not supported [08:57] irc.spotchat for linuxmint help [11:00] Greetings all. In need of some urgent help. After I login, I get no response. Luckily, synapse still functions so I was able to pull up the browser. Otherwise, I have either a grey screen or a nlank wallpaper. Non of the basic desktop loads, not even the toolbar up top. [11:00] blank* [11:03] I was sticking to 13.04 for this concern. But decided to uprgrade since its always bugging me about it, and, many 13.04 packages are no longer updated, etc. [11:10] Slve a TUTTI [11:11] qualcuno parla italiano [11:11] delete you /home/user/.config [11:12] o.0 [11:12] Italian [11:12] ? [11:13] I'll try it... [11:14] apt-get install -f maybe, to begin with [11:15] http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies [11:16] hmm...nope...seems to have no effect [11:17] Was literally functioning fine 10 minutes ago [11:18] Now, I'm completely "greyed out". If I minimize a window, its gone. considering trying fibz___ suggestion [11:20] if a new user might help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [11:20] but, this is doubtful..:) [11:21] This is a new problem, that is for certain. First time for everything as they say. [11:23] yeah xD [11:24] Can't even access folders...this is nuts [11:24] xubuntu329: but, did you sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove ; sudo apt-get clean b4 trying to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade [11:24] .. and check if old sources are disabled. [11:25] maybe it's just something simple :-f [11:26] I din't run any terminal commands after install. No clue as to what this issue is. I've seen the no wallpaper hissy fits..but I can't even use my machine. Thanks to synapse, I am able to workaround some. [11:29] going to reboot...fingers crossed. Thanks for the assistance. [11:33] Rebooted to same predicament [11:34] Think I should just wipe the HDD and fresh install 13.04? [13:25] i thought light-locker is replacing xscreensaver, but latest trusty still uses it for locking [13:25] whats up with that [13:26] it's not ready yet [13:29] TheSheep, ok. just making sure it's not a bug on my end. im running the daily iso.
