mspittel1961Hi00:02
knomehello00:03
mspittel1961My desktop icons keep rearranging themselves on each boot. Can this be prevented?00:04
creeeaturahi everyone. can anyone kindly assist a newbie? :)00:07
mspittel1961what's your problem?00:07
knomemspittel1961, are you by any chance running xubuntu in a virtualized environment?00:07
creeeaturaI'm installing xubuntu on an old laptop for my mom - problem is, I'm lacking the firmware for the wireless card00:08
mspittel1961Not now. Bare metal recovered from somebody's trash can.00:08
knomemspittel1961, are you saving your session?00:09
mspittel1961No. I even deactivated the option in the shutdown menu.00:10
knomemspittel1961, you might need to save once with the new order00:10
mspittel1961This machine is for a gift to a linux newbie and I want a reboot to be a reboot00:11
knomerather than doing desktop icons, why not save items to the whiskermenu favorites?00:11
mspittel1961I'm using Xubuntu in Spanish and whisker is unusable. Y deleted it and put classic "Applications menu" instead00:13
knomemspittel1961, you can edit the regular applications menu with menulibre as well00:13
mspittel1961I tend to use the desktop as a temporary storage for things waiting to be stored somewhere else or deleted00:14
mspittel1961Let say for ongoing tasks.00:14
knomeright... so why does it matter if they got rearranged?00:15
mspittel1961I don't have launchers on the Desktop, just regular folders an files00:15
knomebut it's potentially a bug00:15
knomethe icons should be saved per resolution00:15
knomeso if you change your resolution, even by one pixel (possible in a virtual machine), they get restored to the original state00:15
knomebut this is obviously something else00:16
knomefile a bug in launchpad :)00:16
mspittel1961When I have let's say, 25 files and folders on the Desktop, I want them to stay where I put them.00:16
knomeubuntu-bug xfdesktop400:16
mspittel1961Imagine if stuff on your REAL desk top were moving around (OK, sometimes this happens with the night shift cleanning personnel!)00:18
knomewell fortunately the "real desktop" metaphor doesn't apply to the (xfce) desktop...00:19
knomethat is, real desktop isn't searchable etc.00:19
mspittel1961this is another weakness in xfce. Catfish never finds the files I'm searching for.00:20
mspittel1961I don't know if I'm entering the wrong syntax or what00:20
knomei'm not too familiar with catfish, i order my stuff on the directory structure00:21
mspittel1961OK, may be "never" is to harsh. But "frequently" is more accurate00:21
amigamagicmspittel1961, there is a bug with current xfdesktop implementation where it doesn't save icons positions if you change the resolution and after that you logout, or if you change some icon position and logout before waiting 7 seconds.00:22
knomemspittel1961, if it should find something it doesn't... well, you know the story: file a bug00:22
mspittel1961besides these small nuissances, Xubuntu 14.04 rocks!00:23
KekaiI am experiencing a bug in where i put my pC to sleep then wake it up, it askes for my password. When I put in my passwords I get a black screen.00:23
mspittel1961let me try to see if the same happens here00:24
mspittel1961And to get out of the blank screen? Hard reset?00:25
Kekaimhm00:25
mspittel1961ok. I'll test this and be back in a few moments00:25
KekaiWill this get fied anytime soon?00:25
knomeKekai, once it's triaged, developers can start working on it00:26
KekaiI never ad this problem in 13.1000:27
KekaiI think this would be something to fix ASAP00:27
Kekaias people need to hard reset and that can kill people's hard drives and PCs00:27
mspittel1961I just tested it and couldn't reproduce this with the "Suspend" option.00:28
amigamagicKekai, have you tried with ALT+F1 when you have this black screen?00:28
mspittel1961It worked as supposed.00:28
Kekailet me see00:28
james0r3both laptops i've got running 14.04 have problems coming back from suspend when using light locker00:35
james0r3after logging in i just get a blank display00:36
james0r3if i disable lock on suspend in light locker settings all is well00:36
amigamagicI have a similar problem, but only on a virtual machine. On a real PC is working well. I suppose it depends from your particular GPU and its drivers for linux.00:37
amigamagicOn the virtual machine I have to disable light locker to not make it hangs.00:38
james0r3seems to be just a light locker issue for me. both of these laptops lock fine with xscreensaver00:38
james0r3i might just go back to xscreensaver. the screensavers are kinda cool anyway00:39
amigamagicmaybe xscreensaver is more "conservative" in the way it uses the hardware00:39
james0r3light locker is sort of a new project too right?00:39
amigamagicI'm not sure but I think it's recent.00:40
Kekaimspittel1961: I just tried ALT-F100:40
Kekaiot working00:40
Kekaimaybe I need its a light locker issue00:40
amigamagicKekai, so just disable light locker and be happy00:40
amigamagic:D00:41
Kekaiamigamagic: its an issue with sleep mode00:41
james0r3amigamagic, you can use xscreensaver as a locker/screen saver instead. found of lots of xfce desktops00:41
mspittel1961A newbie question: what is light locker?00:42
KekaiI go to sleep mode and it locs, but goes toa  balck screen upon login.00:42
amigamagicjames0r3, yes, you can use it.00:42
amigamagicKekai, disable light locker00:42
amigamagicand check if this solve your problem00:42
Kekaiif it des I have  backup of Xubuntu 12.04 LTS on a USB drive00:43
Kekai*doesnt00:43
james0r3 00:45
KekaiNow I am not getting any lock screen.01:03
KekaiI turned of light locker. Is there a way to lock my screen at all?01:03
Unit193Sure, you can use something else.01:03
Kekailike 12.04 LTS?01:06
Kekai:301:06
Unit193xscreensaver is what that one used.01:06
Kekaiand yet...I never had any issues where I need to hard reset my system01:07
amigamagicKekai, install xscreensaver and be happy01:10
KekaiI installed it, now how do I activate it?01:13
amigamagicin the settings there should be a new screensaver icon01:13
Unit193Alt+F2 -> xscreensaver -no-splash01:14
Unit193(Or that, there you can start the daemon as well.)01:14

ToHellWithGAxubuntu is the right fit between debian squeeze and debian wheezy that convinced me to give ubuntu another chance after a few years off03:11
ToHellWithGAit actually runs on my 7-year-old laptop yet has current enough packages that i don't feel like i'm settling for ancient versions in exchange for performance03:12
ToHellWithGAwith that being said, is it possible to set auto-login?  i have no personal data on this laptop and intend to only use it for VNC/ssh to my home computer03:13
nhojToHellWithGA, Settings -> Users and Groups -> Select user -> 'Password' Change...03:15
james0r2okay, removed light locker and using xscreensaver now and i can lock on suspend now. i imagine this light locker issue must be affecting lots of others.03:16
nhojToHellWithGA, select 'Don't ask for passwork on login'03:17

holsteina USB hub?03:21
HaggardThat is weird.03:23
ToHellWithGAnhoj: that didn't work at all, man03:23
ToHellWithGAi just rebooted and there was still a login screen and it still required a password03:24
ToHellWithGAis the login screen part of xfce or is it something external, like gdm?03:24
nhojToHellWithGA, hmm, that is the place to change that I believe.  lightdm is the displayed manager03:25
nhojToHellWithGA, check to see if the button is still checked on the Settings for Users and Groups03:27
ToHellWithGAis is03:27
ToHellWithGAs/is is/it is/03:27
ToHellWithGAplain as day it says "not asked on login"03:27
ToHellWithGAi'm thinking maybe i need to configure the login screen rather than my user settings03:28
ToHellWithGAif i can tell the login screen to autologin my user, the password prompt should be irrelevent unless i for some reason must logout and log back in without rebooting03:28
nhojToHellWithGA, If you log out the password would be required I think if I understand your statement that is.03:30
nhojToHellWithGA, Should work on reboot though, correct?  Is that what you expect?03:31
nhojToHellWithGA, That is, no password required on reboot.03:31
ToHellWithGAthe prompt is still there03:31
ToHellWithGAi click my name then must hit return with no password03:31
ToHellWithGAi'm trying to avoid the entire login process - boot direct to desktop03:31
ToHellWithGAnothing of value on a laptop not worth stealing, so i just want it to be usable as soon as i plug it in - that's right, the battery is shot :-)03:32
nhojToHellWithGA, Oh, it is not what I would expect either from earlier versions. Must be the way it works.  I will test here.  c u l8r eh03:33
ToHellWithGAthanks man03:33
nhojToHellWithGA, It goes as you experienced her as well.  Perhaps, because there is that Guest login, another words another user, it must check to see who wants in after a restart.03:36
nhojTheSheep, otherwise, it would only go to one user when other ones could then never to available for login.  Just reasoning and guessing really.03:38
nhojToHellWithGA,  otherwise, it would only go to one user when other ones could then never to available for login.  Just reasoning and guessing really.03:40
ToHellWithGAmaybe so03:40
nhojToHellWithGA, the guest user is really a kiosk mode I believe.  You could use that for your purposes as well.03:41
Unit193Why not use autologin?03:42
nhojUnit193, ToHellWithGA is not satisfied because the autologin present the display manager instead of going straight to his desktop.03:43
ToHellWithGAUnit193: i would like to do so, but i can't find a way to enable autologin03:43
ToHellWithGAi can skip entering my password, but i still have to pick a user from a login screen03:43
nhojOne does not need a password for autologin but one must select a user if only the default one.03:44
nhojlike, what he said, man :)03:45
Unit193https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#Enabling_Autologin Did you edit the config then add your user to the group?03:45
nhojno just selected 'Don't ask for password on login'03:47
xubuntu934hello there..03:51
ToHellWithGAUnit193: that worked03:52
xubuntu934i have a question.. can xubuntu use csd03:52
Unit193ToHellWithGA: Great!03:52
ToHellWithGAthe file is actually /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-xubuntu.conf03:52
nhojToHellWithGA, enjoy!03:52
ToHellWithGAthanks guys03:52
Unit193ToHellWithGA: Right, that's the xubuntu session one, you can make your own there too (I do to disable the guest account.)03:53
Unit193OH bah.03:53
Unit193!info csd03:53
ubottuPackage csd does not exist in trusty03:53
xubuntu934thanks... ubottu03:56
Unit193What is it?03:57
HaggardThink he's talking about gnome's client side decorations.03:58
xubuntu934yeap client side deco...03:59
HaggardXFCE is migrating to gtk3 I believe so we might see it at some point.04:00
Unit193Correct wording, at some point. :P04:00
xubuntu934anyway.. is there a way not to use the title bar and just use csd when using new gnome/elementary apps..04:00
xubuntu934cause am impressed how CSD conserves space on my netbook.. plus the autohide panel..04:02
Unit193There's another branch of Xfwm to work better with headerbars at least.04:02
xubuntu934can you point me out how to's for that to work.. if its okay04:04
HaggardI wouldn't mind the option myself. Title bar, menubar, toolbar; lot of space there.04:04

Guest91226is it normal for xubuntu 14.04 livecd to identify as kubuntu everywhere?09:43
Unit193...No, are you sure you don't have Kubuntu?09:44
well_laid_lawnwhat do you mean by identify and everywhere ?09:45
Unit193Seems his live session username at least.09:45
well_laid_lawnyep09:45
Guest91226Unit193, yes, i am, i am on the livecd with no packages installed09:46
Guest91226no extra ones, i mean09:46
Guest91226well_laid_lawn, for example, after booting up, the livecd said, "Install Kubuntu" / "Try Kubuntu"09:46
Guest91226my username is also kubuntu09:46
well_laid_lawnwhen you try it do you have a xfce desktop ?09:47
Guest91226yes09:47
Guest91226i am on the livecd right now, and it is xfce09:47
Guest91226the icon on the desktop also says "Install Kubuntu 14.04 LTS"09:47
Unit193Source of the download and md5sum of the ISO?09:47
Guest91226http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/09:48
Guest91226give me a sec for the md5sum09:48
well_laid_lawnlsb-release is still a valid check ?09:48
Guest91226lsb_release -a says "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"09:48
well_laid_lawnthe source of the iso might be the problem09:49

Meerkatmy xubuntu iso also has that md5. I will try it.09:50
Guest91226yes, md5sum matches with what is on http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/xubuntu/14.04/release/09:51
elfylooks fine here - try xubuntu - xchat wants me to be xubuntu09:52

Guest91226yes, well_laid_lawn , it lists /dev/sda3 now because i mounted it to run the md5sum09:54

Unit193Indeed, now if I could only remember how it picked that up.  I know one way is boot options.10:00
Guest91226i used the multiboot tool in windows to create a liveusb with xubuntu, ubuntu-gnome, and plain ubuntu -- could that be a problem?10:02
Unit193I noticed the boot line was different, yeah.  Well, something made a difference for sure, not sure if it's that though.10:02
Guest91226probably not a bug in xubuntu then, correct?10:04
Unit193Not Xubuntu itself, but perhaps a core component.  I sure wouldn't expect an Xubuntu live disk to say Kubuntu. :)10:05

qwertz_hi there. seems the upgrade to 14.04 broke the "lock screen" feature. i still had xscreensaver installed. deinstalled it meanwhile. now, how do i place lightlocker in its place?10:30
qwertz_do i need to start it with my session?10:31
Unit193qwertz_: Have you checked in light-locker-settings?10:32
qwertz_Unit193,  yes, it says it's activated10:33
Unit193So, what makes you think it isn't?10:33
qwertz_okay, idea: i used to lock my screen using the Kupfer lanucher. this doesn't work. going the direct way using the menu does work.10:34
qwertz_okay, so Kupfer's fault.10:34
Unit193Have kupfer call xflock4?10:34
qwertz_the xfce session management plugin doesn't offer options, but luke will use the source here.10:35

Unit193Mmmmm... I see, yeah.10:37
qwertz_yep, will fix that10:37

qwertz_cool, this seems standard xfce, doesn't it?10:48
qwertz_if so, calling xflock4 works for most XFCE-based distros, i guess?10:49
Unit193It's from the xfce4-session package, it's an upstream file (http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/tree/scripts/xflock4) so should.10:50

keeper_19_86Hi, i've installed xubuntu-12.04 yesterday and i checked "install 3rd party stuff (mp3 support etc.)" However i cant play video or audio (mp3) files neighter in parole nor in the gmusicbrowser. There always follows a message like "your installation of gstreamer is missing a plugin". Unfortunatly it doesnt tell me which one, nor does it install it automatically11:57

nhojroel, perhaps someone else can help...15:47
deltheh, i try a different sd card and now it appears on the desktop :D15:47
roelnhoj, i think i found it finally : the plugin forced the menu to move, but that was a problem for much programs15:47
deltand cd's don't appear because i added the cdrom device to my /etc/fstab15:47
Guest7802also maybe I selected the wrong install medium, then I boot the DVD I get 2 options 1. windowns and 2. EFI  what are th difference between them ?15:48
nhojroel, do you mean that there were too many programs to display in the indicator?15:49
roelno, stuff like 'File', 'Edit',... where shown there. That was the problem of the errors.15:50
nhojroel, So, is it now fixed?15:51
roelyes, although I don't know why I cant choose it's position exactly... maybe because of the plug in...15:52
nhojroel, can you use the Settings/Panel/Items method to arrange them?15:53
snuggyfoofyIs anyone available to help me out with a fresh install + ATI proprietary drivers/xinerama ?15:54
roelyes, although I tought I was able to indicate what can be set in corner right.15:54
Guest7802I give up on getting 13.10 running and will try 14.04 instead,  are there any image provided for macbooks (EFI) ?  Are the ubuntu spyware included in this new distro ?15:58
snuggyfoofyDoes anyone here successfully run dual monitors + ATI + 14.04?15:59
nhojspyware? seriously?15:59
knomeGuest7802, please quit the FUD15:59
knomenhoj, he's referring to the feature that gets amazon search results by default on the unity dash16:00
knomenhoj, spyware? not really.16:00
nhojSnowden did not mention unity, I gather. ;)16:01
knomeif you want to discuss the amazon search result feature in unity, you can discuss it on #xubuntu-offtopic16:02
Guest7802knome, I don't want to discuss it, I just want to know if it is included in 14.0416:03

heikkiketDoes anyone else have problems with Thunar and html filenames with spaces?16:06
Guest7802knome, thanks16:06
knomeheikkiket, do you mean with opening them in firefox?16:06
knomeheikkiket, or $browser16:06
heikkiketWhen I try to open html file from folder that has space in itse filename, Firefox doesn't get the name right16:07
heikkiketknome: I have tried just Firefox16:07
knomeheikkiket, yeah, i think the filename isn't passed correctly16:07
heikkiketbut in Thunar the function is "Open in Web browser", so maybe it's $browser then?16:07
knomeheikkiket, i'd file a bug. if you do, ping me back with the bug number, and i'll "me too" it16:07
knomethunar could be nicer and put the filename in quotes16:08
knomebecause it should work then even with firefox16:08

bluesabreZatsuneNoMokou, to clean it up...19:32
nhojZatsuneNoMokou, I don't know if that would do what you want but while you are logged in you won't be really able to get rid of those.  Log out then Cntrl Alt F1 to get a shell perhaps it will stick.19:32
bluesabredelete ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu19:33
bluesabreand remove items in ~/.local/share/applications19:33

delt2sec. i'll connect to this session from the laptop20:15
brainwashit's only for testing purpose20:15
brainwashand you are running a live session, right?20:15
brainwashyou have to restart xfce4-power-manager (or the session) after installing the new package20:16
delt*sigh* my laptop is UNUSABLE again, after just closing and reopening the lid20:20
delthow did this junk even get released??20:20
delt2sec....20:21
brainwashso the package from my PPA did not resolve the problem?20:22
delt"xset dpms force on" - still black screen20:22
deltbrainwash: i will test it as soon as i get my laptop back in a usable state20:22
brainwashah ok20:22
brainwashyou have to run "xrandr --auto"20:22
brainwashor restart lightdm with "sudo restart lightdm"20:23
deltah, ok now we got it.20:23
deltis there any way to auto-run this when the lid gets open?20:23
deltsome callback script somewhere?20:23
deltanyway, first let's test your power management package...20:23
brainwashmake sure to restart xfce4-power-manager20:24
deltok,, i'm at the laptop now.20:24
deltso what was the command to add the ppa?20:25

brainwashapt-get update20:26
brainwashfirst20:26
deltoh20:26
deltyes, i remember doing this when i installed this laptop originally20:27
delt(now it's running a live session)20:27
delttheoretically i could just save the .deb package and run it if my parents laptop don't have internet access, right?20:28
brainwashindeed20:28
deltok great.20:28
deltnow i just kill the power manager process?20:28
brainwashyes20:28
deltuh it didn't come back. i run it again?20:29
brainwashrun "xfce4-power-manager --debug" in a terminal window20:29
brainwashthis also enables debug mode20:29
deltok, outputting a bunch of stuff20:29
deltnow i test closing and reopening the laptop lid?20:30
brainwashright20:30
brainwashyes20:30
deltnope. still had a black screen. had to go to the other machine and reset it again with xrandr20:31
brainwashok, thanks for testing :)20:31
deltno prob20:31
deltis there some callback script where i can run xrand from, when the lid gets open20:31
delt?20:31
brainwashmaybe we need to think about a complex fix20:31
brainwashyou could add a pm-utils script which gets executed on resume20:32

TaxmanBD12.4 LTS20:34
deltbrainwash: it doesn't matter what i set "when lid is closed" even to "nothing", still black screen20:34
brainwashdelt: oh, that's odd20:34
brainwashbut "nothing" does not trigger the lock screen, right?20:35
deltno20:35
brainwashTaxmanBD: I suggest that you wait until 14.04.1 is released (in few months)20:35
delt"lock screen" either afaict20:35
TaxmanBDbrainwash, ok thx, and the iso seems heavier ~900 mb, I really need a lightweight OS on my poor netbook20:37
deltbrainwash: what about stuff in /etc/acpi ?20:37
brainwashdelt: mmh, I don't think that there is any script for the lid close event present in 14.0420:38
brainwashyou could try to stop the acpi daemon (sudo stop acpid) and test again20:38
deltwhat about /etc/systemd/logind.conf ?20:39
holsteindelt: pong20:40
brainwashnot sure, do you want to change anything in this config file?20:40
brainwashthe black screen problem is caused by xfce4-power-manager triggering light-locker (lock on suspend)20:42
delt#HandleLidSwitch=suspend    changed to:   HandleLidSwitch=ignore20:42
delteven if it's a completely black screen, with no prompts or anything?20:43
delteven trying to change vt's doesn't fix it20:43
deltthe LCD is off20:43
deltnot just black pixels20:43
brainwashyou can try this, but the power-manager "should" prevent systemd from doing anything on button events and lid close20:43
brainwashoh, so the backlight is off20:44
deltyeah20:44
deltbut it does come back on (and usable) with xrandr --auto20:44
brainwashdoes it also happen after disabling "lock on suspend" and light-locker (settings manager > light locker settings)?20:45
deltit's already disabled20:45
delt(i guess default for the live session)20:45
brainwashindeed, forgot about that20:45
deltdamn, i need this usable in the next hour at most! :(20:46
deltbtw what was wrong with xscreensaver?20:47
deltit had some nice screen savers with it :(20:47
deltanyway, what script gets called when the lid is opened?20:48
brainwashI prefer xscreensaver :)20:48
delti'd just add "xrandr --auto" to that20:48
brainwashsee http://askubuntu.com/a/9223520:49
deltbrainwash: but i'm not suspending on lid close20:51
delti just want it to do nothing20:51
brainwashah ok20:52
brainwashcan you kill xfce4-power-manager and test again20:53
brainwash+ #HandleLidSwitch=suspend    changed to:   HandleLidSwitch=ignore20:53
brainwashso neither power-manager nor systemd should do anything on lid close20:53
deltwhat about systemd, do i restart it as well?20:54
brainwashusually no20:54
brainwashshould take effect immediately20:54
deltnow my laptop HANGED.20:55
delt(back at the main machine)20:55
brainwashyou cannot switch to tty1?20:55
delti can't even ping it20:56
brainwashvery strange20:56
deltalthough the caps lock key still toggles20:56
brainwashnot a fun thing to do, but can you verify this by doing it again?20:57
deltdoing the whole thing again, ie. rebooting, installing your ppa, updating xfce power manager, etc ...?20:59

deltyeah but it's a live session... well was a live session21:00
deltso i have to start by reconfiguring my network21:00
deltok, laptop is booting from the xubuntu cd21:01
brainwashit would be also interesting to know what happens if you logout out from the live session and close the lid21:01
brainwashso only the login greeter is running21:02
deltabout 30 minutes left till my brother comes to pick me up....21:02
brainwashI'm not a magician :) on top of that, your problem seems to somewhat different than the widely reported black screen issue caused by light-locker21:03
deltok, i'm at the laptop....21:07
deltso, people have a DIFFERENT problem than this one?21:07
deltyeah in my previous attempt i removed light-locker and installed xscreensaver21:07
brainwashmost solved it by removing light-locker or going back to xscreensaver21:08
brainwashso your issue differs a bit21:08
brainwashbut it might be the same cause21:09
deltok, so i'm going to logout from this session, and close the lid21:09
deltjust installed telnetd so i can log back in from the other machine21:10
