[01:47] <ROPA> how do I add a desktop shortcut to a panel???
[02:43] <krytarik> ROPA: Please see here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/launcher
[02:59] <Psil0Cybin> Hey guys I am using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS and I am trying to use xfce4-power-manager in order to dim the screen when it is inactive for 20 seconds, yet when I leave my computer to idle it does not dim the screen and keeps it blaring on full brightness, I was wondering if there is anything i can do to diagnose this issue, I have already posted on the forums and followed all instructions (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208549&p=129433
[02:59] <Psil0Cybin> 20) thought maybe someone here can point me in the right direction please :D
[03:04] <xubuntu632> hi, is there any way someone could answer a quick question?
[03:05] <krytarik> !ask | xubuntu632
[03:07] <xubuntu632> Thanks...I was wondering if I can repair an installation from a live usb, my drive got a few bad sectors and the partition with xubuntu took the brunt of it
[03:24] <Psil0Cybin> If someone knows how I can solve the dim issue please pm me :D
[03:26] <basketball> my fstab file is empty
[03:26] <Unit193> !crosspost | basketball
[03:26] <basketball> ok Unit193  do you have an anser
[03:27] <Unit193> To "my fstab file is empty"?  Sure, my /dev/random is random.
[03:28] <basketball> ok what i want to do is play a dvd
[03:28] <Unit193> Did you have a question along with that?
[03:28] <basketball> but my pc isnt reconizing that i inserted the dvd
[03:28] <Unit193> Is the drive dead?
[03:29] <basketball> no it works in windows
[03:31] <basketball> Unit193,  how do i fix it when i run regionset regionset version 0.1 -- reads/sets region code on DVD drives
[03:31] <basketball> ERROR: Could not open disc "(null)"!
[03:31] <basketball> Please ensure there is a readable CD or DVD in the drive.
[03:57] <basketball> my fstab file is empty
[04:25] <xubuntu084> I found my answer myself, which I don't mind.  I'm gonna hope, however, that the rest of my time with linux is better representative of the community than the people here.

[07:42] <Guest63761> hi
[07:42] <Guest63761> anyone running bare metal VMs on older thinkpads, e.g T61?
[07:56] <ROPA> I created an extra panel in Xubuntu, how do I get a launcher to take me to the home folder into the new panel??y
[07:58] <Unit193> ROPA: "Directory Menu" should do it.
[07:58] <Unit193> Guest63761: "Bare metal" and "VMs"?
[08:00] <Guest63761> Bare metal means there is no guest OS running virtual machine OSs
[08:00] <Guest63761> pure OSs using the native I/O
[08:00] <Guest63761> just like servers in the cloud
[08:01] <Guest63761> e.g AWS
[08:02] <Unit193> But I personally do not own a Thinkpad.
[08:04] <Guest63761> or any other PC for that matter
[08:04] <Guest63761> e.g. using Zenclient
[08:07] <Unit193> Right, so the operating system installed on the hardware is the VM (basically), ala Xen.  No, I've only messed with kvm/qemu and vbox.  I highly respect Xen though.
[08:07] <Guest63761> correct, Xen
[08:08] <Guest63761> how are you set up with Xubuntu, natively?
[08:09] <Unit193> Yes.
[08:09] <Guest63761> and as for Office docs?
[08:09] <Unit193> Libreoffice does well enough for what I need.
[08:10] <Unit193> It's compatibility isn't 100% there, but if I need something more compatible, or publisher, wine handles it quite well now.
[08:10] <Guest63761> ok, thanks.  I still need to the features and the compatibility of Office 2003 with the 2007 extensions
[08:11] <Guest63761> but other than that I prefer to be in a linux env
[08:11] <Unit193> Understandable, yes.
[08:11] <Guest63761> so you run wine in Linux?
[08:11] <Unit193> Yes, there are some windows applications I need (and skifree! :P )
[08:13] <Guest63761> nice
[08:16] <Guest63761> hows Photoshop on wine?
[08:18] <Unit193> I'd have to check the appdb on that one, not used it, just use Gimp.
[08:24] <Guest63761> right
[10:26] <tarta8> hello
[10:26] <tarta8> I'm having a PROBLEM that i'm unable to fix, even looking thru google so i hope someone can help me
[10:27] <tarta8> when I start my xubuntu and i get to the splash screen it just stays there "thinking"
[10:30] <tarta8> noone?
[10:54] <tutur> can anyone give me a hand please?
[12:20] <mnemoc> hi, is there any ppa to get 4.12 on 14.04?
[12:22] <mnemoc> ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 doesn't support Trusty
[12:27] <zukeprime> mnemoc:  funny you should ask that.  Here's a tutorial video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4Myiv-4-vA
[12:30] <mnemoc> zukeprime: thanks
[12:31] <brainwash> mnemoc: you don't need the PPA for 14.04
[12:32] <mnemoc> brainwash: I've got but I've got 4.11 instead of 4.12
[12:33] <Unit193> 4.12 doesn't exist, 4.11 is the development snapshot for it.
[12:33] <brainwash> 4.12 has not been released yet, the PPA contains the 4.11 components
[12:33] <mnemoc> i see
[12:33] <mnemoc> xfdesktop4 keeps crashing and crashing :(
[12:34] <zukeprime> mnemoc: desktop crash has been reported for the beta.  Mine crashes to
[12:35] <mnemoc> if it's a known problem and the 4.11 in 14.04 is indeed the latest dev code It's just about waiting. so I'm good. :)
[12:35] <zukeprime> brainwash:  you seem to be knowledgeable about 14.04...any reason the beta still has xscreensaver?  Power options *seem* really messed up, i.e. don't do anything and I can't configure light-locker
[12:36] <zukeprime> is this something I should report?
[12:36] <brainwash> well, it's a beta after all, the issues are known
[12:37] <brainwash> xscreensaver will get removed at some point and a new package will be included to configure light-locker
[12:37] <brainwash> -> light-locker-settings
[12:37] <zukeprime> yeah...i'm down with it.  But I thought the beta is in feature freeze.
[12:38] <zukeprime> just trying to understand the process
[12:38] <brainwash> see bug 1281536
[12:38] <zukeprime> cool, thx!
[12:39] <brainwash> so beta 2 should be in better shape
[12:39] <zukeprime> one of these days, I'm going to start contributing, just need to learn linux! :D
[12:40] <brainwash> feel free to join #xubuntu-devel
[12:40] <brainwash> http://xubuntu.org/contribute/
[12:40] <zukeprime> already there. Considering trying to help with *something*...documentation perhaps. Seems dead right now
[12:41] <zukeprime> but on the inside I'm sure it's hoppin'
[12:42] <brainwash> despite xubuntu being so popular we still need more helping hands :)
[12:42] <elfy> indeed - just don't think you need to be a coder of some sort to help - or I'd be elsewhere ;)
[12:43] <elfy> but the best channel for this discussion is #xubuntu-devel
[13:02] <howefield> folks, is it possible to remove the desktop panel ?
[13:09] <zukeprime> right click...remove
[13:10] <elfy> doesn't work for the last panel
[13:10] <zukeprime> right click properties, then remove it that way?  never deleted all the panels before
[13:10] <elfy> which unless howefield has changed his mind is what he's after doing :)
[13:11] <elfy> zukeprime: it really doesn't work for the last panel :)
[13:11] <zukeprime> lol
[13:12] <zukeprime> you could make it transparent, min pixel width and length, then have it autohide, I suppose.  lol
[13:14] <zukeprime> so tempted to put compton on this 14.04, but I'm resisting to test stock install
[13:33] <howefield> sorry, was doing a bit of support there, yes elfy is correct, I want a dock and no panels.
[15:46] <superprower> Hi all, i have a problem with wine, i installed it using repo's, "apt-get install wine", it's installed normaly, but when i try to start a programm, it's kill's; if i try launch app frome console, i get a "X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)". I can normaly run games from steam in full screen.
[15:47] <superprower> And he also says : Major opcode of failed request:  12 (X_ConfigureWindow)
[15:47] <superprower>   Resource id in failed request:  0x4a00001

[15:50] <cfhowlett> superprower, purge and reinstall  - also upgrade and dist-upgrade
[15:53] <superprower> cfhowlett, same error

[15:54] <superprower> cfhowlett, ok, tnx anyway
[16:03] <HuchMan> hello . when I type service networking restart my system is crashing .. desktop background is turning gray .. Why is this happening?
[16:03] <HuchMan> can someone help ?
[17:05] <cub> I was going to do a full installation on a 32 GB usb stick, booted into a 13.10 live cd, installed on the new usb stick with 10 GB / and 20 GB /home, chose the new usb as MBR. Everything seemed fine until reboot when it won't boot. No OS found or something as an error message. I thought I followed all the steps I read and discuss here earlier. Any ideas?
[17:06] <cfhowlett> !persistence
[17:07] <cub> cfhowlett, I don't want a persistent live cd. I'm going for a full proper installation on the usb.
[17:08] <koegs> where exactly did you install grub?
[17:08] <cub> the usb stick /sdc
[17:16] <cub> koegs, can I check the grub on the stick just in case something went wrong? It was not installed on the HDD since this pc boots just as usual.
[17:19] <koegs> cub: sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sda 2>/dev/null | strings
[17:19] <koegs> maybe replace sda with sdc
[17:20] <cub> what supposed to happen?
[17:20] <koegs> it will give you an output if there is grub installed in the mbr
[17:21] <cub> hm it didn't
[17:22] <cub> strange, I ran it a second time
[17:22] <cub> and got some messages
[17:23] <cub> ah I missed a "=" the first time
[17:23] <cub> !paste
[17:23] <cub> !pastebinit
[17:24] <cub> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7022979/
[17:27] <koegs> did you use the correct device?
[17:27] <koegs> it sound like a windows-bootsector
[17:28] <cub> I changed the /dev/sda to sdb as it is mounted on this pc now.
[17:29] <cub> really? Weird. Hmm, perhaps there was something still on the stick even though I created new partitions on it during the installation?
[17:29] <cub> it was formated as FAT32 when I bought it. I removed that partition in the installation and created two ext2 partitions, one for / and one for /home
[17:31] <daemonicus> Hi guys, i wanted to ask if there is a command or some setting that i can use that i can "fake" that i plug in the power cord and put it out. Some times, power consumption is higher since boot, until i plug the power source.if i unplug, there are normal readings
[17:34] <cub> perhaps I should just reformat the usb stick and try again .. bbl
[18:32] <Apashu> Hey
[18:33] <Apashu> I'm installing Xubuntu and i'm stuck at "configuring bcmwl-kernel-source"
[18:33] <Apashu> for like.. a hour..
[18:33] <Apashu> i installed ubuntu 12 some time ago
[18:33] <Apashu> and worked fine
[18:33] <Apashu> and installed mint 15
[18:33] <Apashu> which aswel worked swel
[19:12] <krysztal> Hi, I have a problem. I'm trying to set up two screens. I have primary screen on right, and secondary on left. And when I try to set up it, it always taking left screen as primary, even when i change it witch nvidia settings panel.
[20:28] <xubuntu828> Just plugged in a random usb stick so the boot disk would work. lol
[20:29] <xubuntu828> i like the chatting while installing.
[20:30] <xubuntu828> I'm a big xubuntu fan so i don't mind having to put an usb stick in in order for the installation to continue
[20:31] <xubuntu828> I heard it was a hardware issue so i guess you cant blame the software developers. Some people, really good at pointing fingers.
[20:32] <xubuntu828> Today suddenly my network manager stopped working.
[20:32] <xubuntu828> Pls some other stuff.
[20:33] <xubuntu828> So i thought i would reinstall it all
[20:33] <xubuntu828> So I am.
[20:35] <xubuntu828> Ok, cool. it's done. Ready to boot this bad boy. Loving the xubuntu flavor. Ooohh. So what your flavor. Tell me what's your flavor. oooohhh
[20:50] <cub> koegs, just to follow-up from earlier. When I scrapped the usb stick in gparted and created the two partitions before the installation everything worked just fine. Running it now. :)
[22:23] <Funklebits> Hello
[22:50] <saeth> hello :P
[22:50] <saeth> I need some help with kwin on xfce please
[23:08] <saeth> I installed kwin and it works great with one exception - all my workspaces disappeared and I only have one 3:
[23:18] <brainwash> saeth: you have to configure kwin
[23:18] <saeth> how do I do that? I tried in its settings but it doesnt seem to affect workspaces
[23:18] <saeth> it looks like it's in conflict with xfce
[23:20] <brainwash> kwin is a KDE program and not part of xubuntu, maybe try asking in #kde or #kubuntu
