[00:46] <tgm4883> Is there a screen magnification app?
[00:46] <tgm4883> in xubuntu 13.10
[00:48] <tgm4883> hmm, xzoom seems to work
[02:20] <spike-mugen> hola?
[03:11] <holstein> tgm4883: uyes
[03:11] <holstein> yes*.. not by default
[03:11] <holstein> you'd have to add some sort of compositing
[03:12] <holstein> and, have 3d support
[04:35] <tgm4883> holstein, I j ust used xzoom. didn't have to install any other dependencies
[05:22] <Unit193> tgm4883: FWIW, the next release, Trusty Thar, will have zoom built in to xfwm itself.
[05:24] <xubuntu574> hello?
[05:24] <xubuntu574> Hello
[05:25] <DSMOS> DSMOS has arrived.
[05:41] <JJJ__> hello
[05:42] <JJJ__> I have a question about opening camera with xubuntu ...
[05:43] <JJJ__> it does not show camera disk (removable media) anywhere apart from a hidden corner of gthumb.
[05:43] <JJJ__> would somebody know where can I locate the images hosted on that camera otherwise?
[05:48] <Noskcaj> JJJ__, There are other camera veiwers, but gthumb is the only way by default on some
[05:48] <Noskcaj> If it's not showing up in thunar, you will need gthumb or something similar
[05:53] <JJJ__> hmmm.. now the issue is, from gthumb opened up the camera with file manager (opened in thunar ONLY) and then started copying 7gb files. when done with 60 percent, it hung and then had to kill it. now when I restart coyping the files, thunar does not have skip all option.
[05:54] <Noskcaj> strange. you can normally skip all
[05:54] <Noskcaj> What version of xubuntu is this?
[05:55] <JJJ__> 12.04 lts
[05:55] <JJJ__> ha, changed default file manager to nautilus.. let's see if that has skip all for me
[05:57] <JJJ__> Got it going with nautilus...
[05:57] <JJJ__> Thunar version on this xfce 12.04 is 1.2.3
[06:06] <JJJ__> No luck again.. Nautilus says: Error getting file: -1: Unspecified error
[06:10] <JJJ__> this time it worked.. changed default file manager to Dolphin and opened camera from gthumb to Dolphin.. got skip all working. thanks!
[06:11] <Noskcaj> It's worrying that you needed a Qt based file manager for it to work though
[06:17] <JJJ__> well, m not good with commands and as of now bit reluctant to start learning it.. otherwise, terminal would have worked, right?
[07:45] <bullgard4> Unit193: "[06:22]	Unit193	tgm4883: FWIW, the next release, Trusty Thar, will have zoom built in to xfwm itself." <- Where is that feature described more fully?
[10:03] <bekks> In #ubuntu+1
[11:00] <doyle> hi
[11:01] <doyle> how do I make a shortcut to a program that has no shortcuts?
[11:37] <vincentduck> hello. There is a french guy to help me ?
[11:37] <cfhowlett_> !fr|vincentduck,
[11:44] <xubuntu805> bonjour ?
[11:45] <xubuntu805> un français pour m'aider ?
[11:46] <bekks> !fr | xubuntu805
[11:46] <xubuntu805> merci
[11:47] <xubuntu805> I need help please
[16:34] <mapps> hey anyone able to help with centerim?
[16:55] <bekks> !anyone | mapps
[16:55] <bekks> mapps: Just ask your real question please :)
[16:55] <cfhowlett> bekks, that !factoid has been retired ...
[16:55] <bekks> cfhowlett: Too bad. It was one of the most important ones.
[16:55] <cfhowlett> bekks, 100% agreement
[17:05] <mapps> just having trouble with centerim cant get it to connect
[17:06] <mapps> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7142013/
[17:07] <bekks> mapps: Can you pastebin "lsb_release -a" and "dpkg -l | grep centerim" please?
[17:11] <mapps> yes sir
[17:13] <mapps> http://paste.ubuntu.com/7142047/
[17:13] <mapps> installed off the git though and compiled..no centerim 5 in repos
[17:14] <Unit193> bullgard4: No idea, just alt+scroll.
[17:17] <mapps> hmm once cifs-utils is installed is it really as simple as ; //servername/sharename  /media/windowsshare  cifs  username=msusername,password=mspassword,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm  0  0
[17:17] <mapps>  to access a windows share?
[17:20] <bekks> mapps: BEsides the fact that you should not use /media for manual mounts - yes, it is that easy.
[17:21] <mapps> yea
[17:21] <mapps> thanks
[17:22] <mapps> also why shouldn't you use /media for manual mounts just prefered practice?
[17:23] <bekks> Because /media is used by the automounter, and /mnt should be used for manual mounts.
[17:24] <mapps> ok:) thank you
[17:43] <bullgard4> Unit193: Thank you.
[17:53] <mapps> hey how can i mount a cifs drive manually without editing fstab ..so just say wanted to mount now and not again
[17:53] <mapps> cant see how to specify the use/pass
[17:53] <mapps> user
[17:54] <bekks> mapps: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[17:54] <mapps> yea i saw there but thats for perm
[17:54] <mapps> il look again incase i missed7
[17:54] <bekks> Yes, you missed that.
[17:54] <mapps> oh
[17:54] <mapps> hm
[17:56] <mapps> i still cant see it :|
[18:01] <bekks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently#Login_errors
[18:02] <mapps> it doesnt say how to mount manually at the command line though
[18:02] <mapps> still talking about fstab
[18:04] <bekks> It does tell you how to specify username and password.
[18:04] <mapps> yea but its talking about fstab
[18:04] <mapps> i was wondering if i could mount from the command line as a one off
[18:05] <mapps> ah sweet
[18:05] <mapps> worked
[18:05] <mapps> :D
[18:06] <mapps> using the -o user= cool thanks
[18:55] <Kekai> There is a guest login on my System and its blocked by a password
[18:55] <Kekai> how can I get in?
[18:55] <holstein> its not blocked..
[18:56] <Kekai> it wont let me in for my mom to use the PC when she needs to look up stuff
[18:56] <holstein> Kekai: you can logout, and select it.. the session is "safe" in some ways, nothing is saved.. its for what it implies.. a guest to use your machine and leave no imprint
[18:56] <holstein> Kekai: it?
[18:56] <Kekai> It shows up with a password box and wont let me in
[18:56] <holstein> Kekai: are you using xubuntu?
[18:56] <Kekai> yes
[18:57] <Kekai> it used to be Lubuntu
[18:57] <Kekai> then I got rid of lubuntu
[18:57] <holstein> Kekai: the guest account works like that.. but, you can always just create an account for your mother
[18:57] <holstein> thats what i would prefer, so it will remember her settings
[18:57] <Kekai> she doesnt download or anything
[18:57] <Kekai> just to look up stuff
[18:58] <holstein> Kekai: ok.. it will remember the "stuff" she looks up.. its preffered for a user that is returning
[18:58] <mapps> question - is there any easy way to deal with all the garbage attacks on my apache httpd that i see in error.log the %20"!" massive stringes
[18:58] <mapps> strings even
[18:59] <holstein> mapps: i would ask in a server specific channel.. i use the usual tools on ssh, but, im sure there are such tools for apache as well
[18:59] <holstein> mapps: whats it for? you could block access to specific ip addresses
[18:59] <HoNgOuRu> hi, any changes I make to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" seems to have no effect after a reboot... Im using an nvidia card with two monitors plugged.... I'm using "sudo nvidia-settings" also did a "sudo nvidia-xconfig" first... runnint xubuntu 13.10
[19:00] <mapps> the server? nothing really just my own work and testing..but i mean like stuff like this
[19:00] <mapps> 90.20.170.48:60545] AH00126: Invalid URI in request o\xe0\xa0E\xbd\x8e:I\xaf\xf7\x8af\xc1\xe1\x8e?Jhq\xc1\xf6\xdb\v\xd1\xd8\xefx\xcev\x93\x8c*K\xfd2I")m
[19:00] <mapps> [Sun Mar 23 00:26:25.694318 2014]
[19:00] <mapps> i mean someone else said just to ignore them and leave them? and not bother looking for a way to prevent this or block them
[19:00] <holstein> mapps: then, just dont put it out on the internet.. make it only accessible to your LAN
[19:00] <mapps> i guess there's no way to stop someone doing it anyway? could only block their IP after they tried once
[19:00] <mapps> yea
[19:00] <xubuntu693> Hi all I have a problem in using canon printer here
[19:00] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: where did you get the xorg.conf?
[19:01] <xubuntu693> can some one help? thanks
[19:01] <holstein> xubuntu693: it may not support linux.. but, i typically just add the printer with the wizard, and try different drivers
[19:01] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, It gets created when running nvidia-xconfig as root
[19:01] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: you may have to edit those a bit by hand
[19:02] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, then I run nvidia-settings (as root) and activate the second monitor... that change is not persistant I don't know why
[19:02] <xubuntu693> the problem that i don't know how
[19:02] <HoNgOuRu> mmm.... maybe it is not loading the correct module at xorg.conf
[19:03] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, can I have more than one section "screen" in xorg.conf ?
[19:04] <HoNgOuRu> cause I only see one
[19:04] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: when i troubleshoot that *exact* issue, i remove the entire config.. i set the settings as i want *before* creating the xorg.conf.. then, i have the proprietary nvidia tool create the file.. i review it and see that it looks as expected, then i reboot
[19:04] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: the "module" or driver is referred to by a line in the file..
[19:04] <mapps> holstein can you have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2205242&p=12934158#post12934158 ? I posted ages ago never got a reply..asked in loads of chans ..wondered if you've got any suggestions or could tell me what to read up on  or something..thanks !!
[19:05] <holstein> \
[19:05] <holstein> mapps: i use tools like that for ssh.. fail2ban
[19:05] <mapps> yea
[19:05] <HoNgOuRu> holstein,  ok... Ill try Ill come back
[19:05] <mapps> ive got fail2ban on ..tried to set that up for apache too, had no jopy:D
[19:06] <mapps> but if you see that apache forum post holstein where im getting some socks error any ideas on how to fix it?
[19:06] <holstein> mapps: sure.. thats why you need an apache channel to offer something similar for apache
[19:06] <mapps> er ubuntu forum post not apache
[19:06] <holstein> mapps: you are likely just asking in channels where the majority of support is for desktop use
[19:06] <mapps> yea
[19:07] <mapps> il go back to that after, but the UNIX socket error?? i dont even know where to begin;/
[19:07] <holstein> mapps: i wouldnt "fix it", if i didnt need it on the internet.. i would just keep it on my lan
[19:07] <holstein> mapps: ill run the turnkey linux appliances in virtualbox..
[19:07] <holstein> or a seperate server only install
[19:07] <mapps> this wasnt about apache the last q, its ufdbguard for squid causing me problems
[19:08] <holstein> mapps: i would be on a server mailing list, or upstream
[19:09] <mapps> ah
[19:09] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, could you take a look at my xorg.conf ???? http://pastebin.com/utQQ4Tzt
[19:09] <mapps> ok:)
[19:18] <RhubarbSin> Do the folks on #ubuntu typically ignore serious, well-detailed questions?
[19:21] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, could you take a look at my xorg.conf ???? http://pastebin.com/utQQ4Tzt
[19:25] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: i can, but, id really need the hardware in front of me
[19:25] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: i just do whatever it takes, since, the hardware never promised me linux support.. i just try all possibilities
[19:26] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: what is the issue? are you able to make the settings that you want?
[19:26] <HoNgOuRu> yes
[19:26] <HoNgOuRu> when I apply changes It works... when I restart everything goes to the basjet
[19:26] <HoNgOuRu> 'k'
[19:27] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: you do more that apply the changes, though
[19:27] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: you'll have to have the settings exported out from that tool that we dont maintain
[19:27] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: i forget exactly what it looks like in there, and i dont have the tool in front of me, but, what it seems is happening is, you are not geting the file updated
[19:29] <holstein> HoNgOuRu: have the tool export or save the settings to a file at a different location.. again, confirm the contents.. then, copy that file over, after backing up your current xorg.conf
[19:34] <HoNgOuRu> holstein, ok, thank you
[19:39] <mapps> hm how can i use ps -C process -o pid --no-headers with kill -9
[19:39] <mapps> kill -9 'ps -C process -o pid --no-headers' doesnt work
[19:41] <mapps> ah silly me
[21:28] <apb1963> Does xubuntu have a way to group windows on the taskbar?
[22:20] <fibz_> having a brain fart and cant remember what to google for troubleshooting screen resolution issues. any suggestions?
[22:23] <knome> screen resolution xubuntu
[22:24] <knome> (+your GPU model)
[22:24] <knome> or you could ask on this channel, but whatever suits you best
[22:25] <fibz_> google is being really dumb right now  >_<
[22:31] <holstein> apb1963: its called "group similar tasks", in most any panel, tray, or OS i have seen
[22:59] <apu> Hi. Please assist. After installing Xubunty 12.4 in as a dual boot getting error: no such partition grub rescue.
