| harry_c | time to dual boot trusty with windows 8 in legacy bios! | 01:56 |

| endo | Is there any application like Windows 7's sticky notes available that integrates well with xfce/gtk? | 02:38 |
| endo | MBR for the next five years will smooth things over | 02:38 |
| cyborgcygnus | So I see light locker still locks the pc even when watching videos or listening to music | 02:54 |
| holstein | endo: plenty of notepads and sticky notes.. try one | 03:01 |
| flound1129 | hi, after updating to 14.04, my xubuntu immediately reboots right after the X login pops up.. Anyone know if this is a known issue? | 03:02 |
| holstein | flound1129: its not | 03:02 |
| holstein | flound1129: you could be saying, you put your user password in, and you loop back to the login screen? | 03:03 |
| flound1129 | nope.. It displays the login screen for about 5 seconds, then BIOS | 03:03 |
| flound1129 | like someone hit the reset button | 03:03 |
| holstein | i would test my hardware in that scneario | 03:04 |
| flound1129 | recovery mode isn't doing it.. I was able to run a dist-upgrade from there | 03:04 |
| flound1129 | trying to reboot now to see if that fixed it | 03:04 |
| holstein | i would try fsck from recovery mode.. i would try booting older kernels.. test hard drive, and memory | 03:04 |
| flound1129 | yep thx | 03:04 |
| endo | holstein: My head hearts and I haven't been happy in years | 03:51 |
| holstein | endo: ? try using the #xubuntu-offtopic channel | 03:51 |
| endo | holstein: sorry | 03:57 |
| holstein | endo: no need to be sorry.. just use the support channels for support and the offtopic channels for chat | 03:58 |
| endo | holstein: err, sorry | 04:01 |
| oneof3 | hello. When i press the sound icon and select "sound settings" nothing opens | 04:13 |
| endo | When I put my computer to sleep it locks my screen. When it wakes up it shows the unlock screen just fine, but when I type in my password and click "unlock" (or press enter, same thing), it blanks the screen as if loading the desktop, but then halts and just displays a blank screen. | 04:45 |
| endo | Why? | 04:45 |
| endo | What logfile should I consult? How should I look at them (grep, less, tail, head?) | 04:47 |
| oneof3 | i am still waiting for some tech help to :) | 04:48 |
| oneof3 | been 20 mins, so hang around im sure someone will help | 04:48 |
| endo | :[ | 04:53 |
| oneof3 | try the normal Ubntu wrong perhaps, thats always busy | 04:53 |
| oneof3 | Ubuntu | 04:53 |
| oneof3 | wroom* | 04:54 |
| endo | This only happens on battery. I can disable sleep. | 04:55 |
| oneof3 | you could check the Xubuntu known bugs to | 04:55 |
| oneof3 | praying is last resort but be sure to pick the right deity | 04:56 |
| endo | I'm too lazy | 04:56 |
| oneof3 | i hear that | 04:56 |
| endo | even to pray | 04:56 |
| oneof3 | i smoke too much weed anyway | 04:56 |
| endo | i nstalled xubuntu b/c i am lazy | 04:56 |
| oneof3 | try sudo upgrade? | 04:56 |
| oneof3 | sudo update | 04:56 |
| endo | i am on 14.04 with latest updates | 04:57 |
| endo | I'm not sure if my machine is suspending then resuming | 04:59 |
| endo | my options show that it simply locks the screen when the lid is closed while on battery power, and that is my situation | 04:59 |
| endo | I am able to unlock the screen but it does not return to the desktop - or maybe it does, but I cannot tell because the screen is blank. It is not a monitor-disabled blank, but an Xorg blank where it is illuminated, running, but all black. | 05:00 |
| endo | omg | 05:01 |
| oneof3 | no idea | 05:01 |
| oneof3 | im a noob | 05:01 |
| mikeche1en | endo: its a known bug | 05:01 |
| endo | oh great | 05:02 |
| endo | mikeche1en: was it in the release notes I didn't read? | 05:02 |
| mikeche1en | endo: yup, there are some workarounds | 05:02 |
| endo | eh... | 05:02 |
| endo | how could you do this to us mikeche1en | 05:02 |
| endo | release a broken desktop linux | 05:02 |
| endo | :( | 05:03 |
| endo | okay which one: | 05:03 |
| endo | Due to the switch from xscreensaver to light-locker, some users might have issues with timing of locking; removing xscreensaver from the system should fix these problems | 05:03 |
| endo | or | 05:03 |
| endo | Xfce4 Power Manager does not restore screen power (1259339), see the release notes for details and workarounds | 05:03 |
| mikeche1en | 2nd one i think | 05:04 |
| mikeche1en | it occurs after unlocking right | 05:04 |
| endo | sudo service lightdm restart | 05:04 |
| endo | xrandr -- auto | 05:05 |
| endo | --auto | 05:05 |
| endo | k | 05:05 |
| mikeche1en | yeah see if that works | 05:06 |
| endo | ha | 05:06 |
| endo | ha | 05:06 |
| endo | I did the blind typing | 05:06 |
| mikeche1en | is worked? | 05:06 |
| endo | NOW MY CURSOR IS GONE | 05:06 |
| mikeche1en | yeah i had that problem | 05:07 |
| mikeche1en | look at the last comment in the bug topic | 05:07 |
| endo | switching to a vterm then back to x makes it ocme back | 05:07 |
| mikeche1en | yus | 05:07 |
| endo | well at least there is that | 05:09 |
| mikeche1en | yeah its kind of annoying but at least it works | 05:10 |
| oneof3 | mikeche1en, think you can help me when done? | 05:10 |

| oneof3 | i understand | 05:11 |
| oneof3 | prob has to do with pointing the app to it. i know it works on xubuntu not xfce. same for other xfce settings | 05:13 |

| p1ro | hey guys, i keep having this problem, every few among of time/use xubuntu get really slow, like run out of memory or something like that, its hard to even open a tab on chrome or even terminal. if i restart everything start working fine. | 06:05 |
| bazhang | how much ram p1ro | 06:06 |
| p1ro | 1.5g | 06:06 |
| bazhang | thats not much | 06:06 |
| p1ro | not really much but it should run normal | 06:06 |
| bazhang | not really | 06:07 |
| p1ro | how i can check how much free memory i had | 06:07 |
| bazhang | what else are you doing, how many tabs | 06:07 |
| p1ro | 5-6 normally | 06:07 |
| Unit193 | I have it with 1G, FF has problems after a while so I tend to limit myself to xombrero on that computer. | 06:07 |
| bazhang | type top in the terminal to see what's using it | 06:08 |
| p1ro | xombero ? | 06:08 |
| bazhang | !info xombero | 06:08 |
| ubottu | Package xombero does not exist in trusty | 06:08 |
| bazhang | augh | 06:08 |
| Unit193 | bazhang: It doesn't exist anyway. | 06:08 |
| bazhang | !info xombrero | 06:08 |
| ubottu | Package xombrero does not exist in trusty | 06:08 |
| bazhang | Unit193, my bad | 06:09 |
| Unit193 | Nah, couldn't know. | 06:09 |
| p1ro | %Cpu(s): 5,3 us, 16,0 sy, 48,2 ni, 10,8 id, 18,3 wa, 0,0 hi, 1,3 si, 0,0 st | 06:09 |
| p1ro | KiB Mem: 1284400 total, 876200 used, 408200 free, 27576 buffers | 06:09 |
| p1ro | KiB Swap: 1306620 total, 201480 used, 1105140 free. 393156 cached Mem | 06:09 |
| p1ro | yes chrome using most | 06:09 |
| Unit193 | So a good idea would be to use a lighter browser or add more RAM. | 06:10 |
| p1ro | umm what else is around that worth ? | 06:10 |
| p1ro | xombero ? | 06:11 |
| Unit193 | Midori, dwb, or maybe another. | 06:11 |
| p1ro | is there any services that i could stop or prevent for loading that helps ? | 06:12 |
| p1ro | i want to keep using chrome or ff | 06:12 |
| xubuntu295 | what is the lighter browser? any exanples? | 06:15 |
| p1ro | xubuntu295, Unit193 just say, Midori, dwb... | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | uzbl, "hv3" are a couple more, but I don't think you'll be able to do what you want. You can turn off the sandbox that chromium uses, to try and help limit the resources, but that may not work well. | 06:17 |
| p1ro | well ill try to limit myself to 2-3 tabs max till ill can buy more ram | 06:20 |
| p1ro | btw im on 32bits im limit 2gs of ram right ? or there is a way to add more ram ? | 06:21 |
| Unit193 | More like 4, and PAE allows you to use more than that even, so it's more how much your board supports. | 06:21 |
| p1ro | ahh nice | 06:21 |
| p1ro | well this pc is kinda old | 06:22 |
| p1ro | core duo | 06:22 |
| Artemis3 | bazhang, i believe there is a ppa for xombrero | 06:22 |
| p1ro | and well is not that i can afford buyinbg much ram | 06:22 |
| bazhang | Artemis3, ah thanks | 06:23 |

| baizon | espagnol: almost | 06:35 |
| baizon | if you have x64 the libgnome keying is in a different directory | 06:35 |
| Artemis3 | Unit193, you are a good service for the community :3 | 06:35 |
| espagnol | i installed sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb with no problem. but then, when i try the second command it says | 06:35 |
| espagnol | E: No se ha podido localizar el paquete libhal-storage1 | 06:35 |

| dada | on 13.10, I added the property IconSize to ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml | 07:28 |
| dada | which doesn't seem to work anymore... | 07:28 |
| dada | p1ro: how? :-) | 07:28 |
| p1ro | look in settings | 07:29 |

| zak_ | Hi, Ive discovered that the default terminal emulator in 14.04 uses the wrong keyboard setup | 07:47 |
| zak_ | Hmm, not just terminal emulation but apparently all x apps | 07:49 |
| p1ro | dada, you there | 07:50 |
| dada | yep | 07:50 |
| p1ro | dada check settings desktop | 07:50 |
| p1ro | 3rd tab is icons | 07:50 |
| dada | yes, and it says "Icon Size: 32" | 07:51 |
| dada | this is just for the icons on the desktop | 07:51 |
| dada | I want to change the icons in the Applications Menu (eg. in the Panel) | 07:51 |
| dada | AFAIK, it can only be done editing the gtk configuration files | 07:53 |
| dada | what I have, and it worked on 13.10, is: | 07:53 |
| dada | <property name="IconSizes" type="string" value="gtk-menu=24,24:gtk-button=24,24:panel-applications-menu=32,32:panel-directory-menu=32,32"/> | 07:53 |
| dada | but 14.04 doesn't seem to use it | 07:54 |
| p1ro | dada did you check this: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6576 | 07:54 |
| dada | p1ro: that's exactly what I wrote above... :-) | 07:55 |
| dada | p1ro: I probably even got it from there | 07:55 |
| p1ro | umm | 07:55 |
| p1ro | dada did you try with default fonts ? | 07:56 |
| p1ro | settings>appearence>fonts | 07:56 |
| p1ro | dada, fotns and DPI could help | 07:57 |
| p1ro | if not i dont really know what to suggest | 07:57 |
| dada | p1ro: nope, it changes only the font. icons stay the same size. but thanks anyway :-) | 07:58 |
| p1ro | dada, http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=4676 | 07:58 |
| p1ro | gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-menu=24,24" | 07:59 |
| dada | p1ro: that was for xfce 4.4. I did the one below, for 4.6. now, there must be a different way for xfce 4.10 | 08:01 |
| p1ro | sorry im really new to xfce, last time i used it was 2007 if im not wrong | 08:02 |
| p1ro | now im just using what its come | 08:02 |
| p1ro | and trying to make it lighter | 08:02 |
| bazhang | lxde is lighter | 08:05 |
| bazhang | ie lubuntu | 08:05 |
| p1ro | ohh | 08:05 |
| p1ro | didnt know that | 08:05 |

| zak_ | While all locale settings seem to be correct, and the base system (when ctrl-alt-1) use the correct keyboard setup, everything in x is using a US keyboard setuo | 08:25 |

| areba | hi, anyone having trouble with compiz? | 09:11 |
| cfhowlett | !details|areba | 09:13 |
| ubottu | areba: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 09:13 |
| areba | Installed 14:04 | 09:17 |
| areba | (ubuntu) | 09:17 |
| areba | then did apt-get install xubuntu | 09:17 |
| areba | installed ok, restarted, shows blue login page (had autologin in) and then black screen. | 09:17 |
| areba | ctrl alt del works, cursor moves, nothing else... | 09:17 |
| areba | on an old DV6000 | 09:17 |
| baizon | areba: have you changed the session to xubuntu? | 09:22 |
| areba | yes, actually uninstalled first... (dumb) | 09:23 |
| baizon | if you uninstall ubuntu, and dont change the session to xubuntu it wont work | 09:25 |
| areba | when I restart, it shows it is logging into xubuntu, even shows the blue screen and rotating pix. I know at the black screen im in xubuntu, because when I do Ctrl Alt Del im on the tell tale manager | 09:30 |
| areba | I have narrowed down to compiz, that seems to be whats messing up my resolution. | 09:30 |
| Naphatul | has the bug where the display fails to start after logging in been fixed yet? | 10:16 |
| brainwash | you mean after suspend via lid close? | 10:18 |
| brainwash | you can track the status easily, just check bug 1303736 | 10:19 |

| james0r2 | yep i have the bug on both of my laptaps | 10:20 |
| james0r2 | is it an issue with power-manager or light locker? | 10:20 |
| brainwash | well, it works fine without light-locker | 10:21 |
| james0r2 | same for me. i lock with xscreensaver now and have no issues | 10:23 |
| brainwash | does it work fine, if you kill xfce4-power-manager via "killall xfce4-power-manager" and then close the lid? | 10:24 |
| brainwash | light-locker will listen to a signal and lock the screen automatically in this case | 10:25 |
| t-touch | just installed fresh xubuntu 14.04 32-bit + updates, but every now and then screen freezes. This is a kind of old winxp computer fujitsu siemens amilo a1650g with Ati Radeon Xpress 200 drivers. Can't start Ctrl+Alt+F1 terminal session and nothing else | 10:27 |
| james0r2 | i havn't tried that. was using xscreensaver on debian testing before i switched over so i knew it would do the trick. | 10:27 |
| t-touch | got to press power button for few seconds and restart... does anyone know? Tested memtest86 last night 10 hours and all pass. | 10:28 |
| brainwash | t-touch: check /var/log/syslog | 10:28 |
| brainwash | maybe you can find some system message related to the freeze | 10:29 |
| brainwash | could be a gpu lockup | 10:29 |
| brainwash | or overheating | 10:29 |
| t-touch | can't find anything what may cause from /var/log/syslog. yesterday i could watch almost 2 hours of flash-based volleyball game streamed from internet, and today it takes only 15mins to freeze | 10:34 |
| brainwash | possibly a hardware failure | 10:35 |
| james0r2 | sounds like hardware | 10:35 |

| bastinenz | Hi everybody, I'm experiencing some problems in Xubuntu, some of them after I upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and one that popped up even before that and I'm trying to find out where to go for some help | 10:51 |
| brainwash | t-touch: I got no other ideas other than testing an older release of ubuntu (12.04 or 13.10) to confirm that it's an hardware issue | 10:51 |
| t-touch | brainwash: ok, have to test thanks | 10:52 |
| brainwash | bastinenz: hey, I guess this is the right place to ask :) | 10:52 |
| bastinenz | the first problem I have is pretty simple I think, my GTK theme broke after upgrading, presumably because there is a lot of new GTK3 stuff in 14.04 that wasn't present in 12.04 | 10:52 |
| brainwash | you have to make sure that your theme supports both gtk2 and gtk3 (current version) | 10:53 |
| brainwash | like the pre-installed shimmer themes do | 10:54 |
| bastinenz | I found somewhat of an update for the theme that introduces some GTK3 functionality, but it doesn't quite look right and I'd like to customize it. Problem is that I don't know and couldn't find any info on what option in the settings does what | 10:54 |
| bastinenz | or even better, what setting to change to look a particular part of the theme | 10:55 |
| brainwash | did you try to contact the theme creator? | 10:55 |
| bastinenz | like, all of the items in my gtk3 menus have an ugly border around them | 10:55 |
| bastinenz | where in the settings can I change it to either not have any borders or have them transparent | 10:56 |
| koegs | bastinenz: it is not a matter of xubuntu-settings, it is a problem with the theme itself | 10:57 |
| bastinenz | I haven't tried contacting the creator yet, I thought it'd be better to just understand how this stuff works so I could better customize in the future as well...be more self-reliant and all that stuff | 10:57 |
| bastinenz | yeah, I get that, that's why I wasn't really expecting direct support from you guys but a friendly pointer to where I can learn more about GTK3 themes and how they work :) | 10:58 |
| brainwash | bastinenz: you could take a look at the default xubuntu theme (Greybird) located in /usr/share/themes | 11:00 |
| brainwash | and copy the relevant menu style settings | 11:00 |
| bastinenz | that's probably a good idea, yeah. just out of curiosity though, who does in fact develop the default theme and how do they know how all that GTK3 jazz works?^^ | 11:02 |
| brainwash | see https://github.com/shimmerproject/ | 11:03 |
| brainwash | irc channel #shimmer | 11:03 |
| brainwash | I guess it's try and error in some cases | 11:04 |
| brainwash | something breaks visually -> adjust values until it looks fine again :) | 11:04 |
| bastinenz | okay, thanks for that. Do you know if that also is the right place to look into modifying the gtk filechooser? I'm trying to change the icons of that one to the icon theme I use for the rest of my system and thunar | 11:05 |
| brainwash | it's using monochrome icons right now? | 11:06 |
| brainwash | or do you mean the file/folder icons? | 11:07 |
| bastinenz | It's the Icons in the places-panel | 11:07 |
| brainwash | sadly no clue :( | 11:08 |
| bastinenz | and yeah, they are monocrhome white on dark background | 11:08 |
| bastinenz | k, thanks anyway | 11:08 |
| brainwash | :) | 11:08 |
| bastinenz | last and most important problem is sound. This is something that happened before the upgrade to 14.04, I tried to get sound working in a later version of wine and one piece of advise was to update pulseaudio | 11:09 |
| bastinenz | been using the default pulseaudio before, version 1.1 | 11:09 |
| bastinenz | and used the ubuntu dev audio testing ppa to update to 1.2 | 11:10 |
| bastinenz | which worked to give me sound in wine | 11:10 |
| bastinenz | but unfortunately my audio quality regressed massively | 11:10 |
| bastinenz | it's clipping all over the place | 11:10 |
| bastinenz | and it doesn't even seem to be directly related to pulseaudio, because deactivating it and using vanilla alsa instead doesn't improve quality at all | 11:11 |
| bastinenz | I already tried to roll back everything back in 12.04, forcing the original package version in synaptic | 11:12 |
| bastinenz | didn't help either | 11:12 |
| bastinenz | hoped it would sort itself out with the upgrade | 11:12 |
| bastinenz | but nope | 11:12 |
| bastinenz | so, now I'm trying to figure out what to try next and where to go for help | 11:13 |
| bastinenz | and not just the kind of help that says "well, wipe your system and do a fresh install", but maybe some folk who really know their audio and can provide more in depth support | 11:14 |
| brainwash | uhm, I suggest that you join #alsa and #pulseaudio and try asking the experts | 11:15 |
| bastinenz | k, thank you very much :) | 11:16 |
| brainwash | bastinenz: you should also read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 11:17 |
| brainwash | but I'm not sure if it's really helpful | 11:18 |

| Guest79637 | Hi have a little problem when watching video in youtube the screen saver enters on and dim's the video does caffeine works in the new 14.04? | 11:51 |
| Luyin | Guest79637: why don't you just try it? for me caffeine never worked with xfce, but it might. | 11:53 |
| Guest79637 | so is there any other solution? | 11:53 |
| brainwash | check settings manager > light locker settings | 11:54 |
| brainwash | and settings manager > power manager | 11:54 |
| Guest79637 | I was looking for one click solution :P | 11:56 |
| brainwash | caffeine has been built for 14.04, so it's worth a try | 11:59 |
| brainwash | https://launchpad.net/~caffeine-developers/+archive/ppa | 11:59 |
| Guest79637 | will that install a bunch of gnome lib's? | 12:01 |

| Aritheanie | Hello, I'm preparing to try dual booting Xubuntu with Windows: previously I used Wubi, but am now ready to try doing it properly. My problem now is that I can't determine whether the laptop I'm planning to install Xubuntu to is in UEFI mode or not: Booting Windows 7 shows BIOS, but there's an EFI partition when I look in Disk Management. I've looked at msinfo32 as well as setupact.log and still can't be sure. | 12:15 |

| Travis | hello | 14:03 |
| cfhowlett | Travis ask your xubuntu questions | 14:03 |
| GridCube | Travis, you can edit the settings in the lightlocker setting, in the settings menu | 14:03 |
| GridCube | there you can edit so it wont lock watsoever | 14:04 |
| Travis | Yes, let me pull that up | 14:04 |
| Travis | I have it turned off, yet the screen is black after I open the lid to the laptop. | 14:04 |
| GridCube | you can also uninstall lightlocker and install xscreensaver, it would be a sad solution, reverting to the old state, but that should work as it did before | 14:04 |
| GridCube | Travis, the last option on lightlocker says something about "locking enabled" or something like that, i cant rememebr what is says in english | 14:05 |
| xubuntu389 | xscreensaver is my problem ... it asks a password ...after turning it off, the next session brings it back | 14:05 |
| GridCube | xscreensaver will always ask for password, in lightlocker you can set up to wake on open and never ask for password | 14:06 |
| Travis | Mine won't, but the screen won't come back on, if I close the laptop. | 14:07 |
| Travis | I have to reboot for it to work,. | 14:07 |
| GridCube | no, no, you dont need to reboot, just run xrandr -s yourscreenxresolution | 14:08 |
| GridCube | like for example i have to do "xrandr -s 1024x600" in my netbook | 14:08 |
| Travis | If I can't see the screen, then I have to reboot. | 14:09 |
| GridCube | i binded that to a key, like META-G, and if it doesnt turn the brightness back on | 14:09 |
| GridCube | that resets it | 14:09 |
| GridCube | Travis, you can also press meta-t, that open a terminal, and type the xrandr -s string | 14:09 |
| Travis | Ok now that I on my tablet. | 14:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I had issues with light-locker myself. So, I pulled it in favor of gnome-screensaver. Seems to fly fine now. | 14:17 |
| Travis | I am still having my problem. | 14:17 |
| Travis | I have Xubuntu 14.04 on a Dell Inspiron 640m. I am going to see if it has it on there, when I get home. | 14:17 |
| Travis | If I don't, I may have a hardware issue. | 14:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | What's going on, Travis? | 14:18 |
| Travis | If I close the lid to my laptop & reopen it, it stays black. I can't even get a login screen. | 14:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Not even a mouse cursor? | 14:19 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | does the backlight stay off? | 14:19 |
| GridCube | Travis, yes, its the issue i pointer earlier | 14:19 |
| Travis | I tried your suggestion, GridCube. It didn't work for me. | 14:20 |
| GridCube | checked to change lightlocker for xscreensaver or like Poisoned_Dragon says gnome-screensaver? | 14:20 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I also had to mess with my /etc/systemd/logind.conf file | 14:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | had to insert the line: LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no | 14:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That way, xfce-power-manager settings will be recognized for the lid switch. | 14:22 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I use a Dell Lat D620. I feel your pain. | 14:22 |
| Travis | I actually have this Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 dual booted with Windows 7. | 14:27 |
| Travis | I have a few radios that have windows-only software. | 14:28 |
| Travis | Now, I could use WINE instead of Windows :D | 14:28 |
| xubuntu389 | i tried to install a radio but failed so far .. guess most of them are kaputt .. similar to what happens in the windows world .... ? | 14:30 |
| dada | hey, anybody know how to change the icon size in Applications Menu in xubuntu 14.04? the way it was done with 13.10 (setting <property name="IconSizes"> in xsettings.xml) doesn't seem to work anymore | 14:30 |
| Aritheanie | Asked a question earlier but got no response: I'm planning to dualboot Xubuntu on my Asus EeePC VX6 with Windows 7 x86 already preinstalled. There's an EFI partition present according to Window's Disk Manager though booting seems to be using BIOS (I think). Safe to partition and dual boot as usual? | 14:35 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | dada, the menu in 14.04 is the whisker menu plugin. If you right-click the menu button, you can go into properties and change it there. | 14:37 |
| holstein | Aritheanie: nothing about linux or xubuntu is making anything "unsafe" | 14:37 |
| holstein | !uefi > Aritheanie | 14:37 |
| ubottu | Aritheanie, please see my private message | 14:37 |
| holstein | ^ that might help | 14:37 |
| dada | Poisoned_Dragon: nope | 14:38 |
| dada | Poisoned_Dragon: you can change the icon for the menu itself, or edit the menu. but you can't change the size of the icons displayed next to menu items | 14:39 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Item icon size changes the icon size for list of apps on the left. Catagory icon changes the icon size for the icons listed next to the catagories, on the right. | 14:40 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If you're trying to change more than that, I dunno what you're doing. | 14:41 |
| dada | Poisoned_Dragon: uh? looks like I don't hae that settings... | 14:41 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | dada, should look like this: http://snag.gy/lJj7M.jpg | 14:43 |
| dada | Poisoned_Dragon: interesting... mine is called simply "Applications Menu" | 14:43 |
| dada | probably because I've upgraded it from 13.10 | 14:44 |
| Aritheanie | holstein: thanks. Just to clarify: "if the other systems (Windows, GNU/Linux...) of your computer are installed in Legacy (not-EFI) mode, then you must install Ubuntu in Legacy mode too. Eg if your computer is old (<2010), is 32bits, or was sold with a pre-installed Windows XP. " Does this mean that since my Win7 install was a 32 bit install, it's likely in Legacy mode? | 14:44 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | OH!, So you're still using the original menu, dada. I see now. | 14:44 |
| holstein | Aritheanie: i would want to have backups, and confirm that before hitting "the button" | 14:45 |
| holstein | Aritheanie: i would likely start looking in the bios, then, the manufacturers documentation | 14:45 |
| dada | Poisoned_Dragon: yep. and I just looked at the whisker menu, and still prefer the original one. a lot :-) | 14:45 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | meh... | 14:45 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Using whisker means I don't need launchers in my panel | 14:46 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | favorites ftw. | 14:46 |
| ratrek | after todays update xubuntu does not want to start. Probably bacause new kernel. Someone knows how to solve this ? | 14:49 |
| ElderDryas | I'm having a problem with 14.04, the Network Manager (I assume) and the hardware wifi switch on my Dell 1420 laptop. On a boot, when the switch is OFF, 14.04 show about 75% of CPU being used (network manager). The second I turn the hardware switch ON, the CPU usage drops to a more normal level. If the switch is on when booting, CPU usage is normal, and turning if off has no effect on the CPU usage. This is new behavior with Xubuntu 14.04 (and | 14:49 |
| ElderDryas | no other distro) | 14:49 |

| lopta | Can Xubuntu boot from software RAID-1? | 15:42 |
| braddoro | hello | 15:44 |
| braddoro | I am wanting to upgrade to xubuntu and I wanted to see if I am running a 33 or 64 but machine. I ran lscpu and it says: Architecture: i686, CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit. does that mean I am 32 bit? | 15:45 |
| lopta | I'd be impressed if it were a 33-bit machine. | 15:49 |
| lopta | ...or 36-bit, which I've at least seen. | 15:49 |
| Meerkat | lopta, yes, your CPU is 64-bit. | 15:49 |
| lopta | Meerkat: Mine is, yes. I knew that though. | 15:50 |
| Meerkat | oops. braddoro your cpu is 64-bit. | 15:50 |
| lopta | It's an Atom 330 | 15:50 |
| Meerkat | lopta, all ubuntu variants can boot from raid-1. All linux distros can as well, I would think. | 15:50 |
| lopta | Meerkat: Is that difficult to set up? | 15:51 |
| braddoro | Meerkat, thank you | 15:53 |
| lopta | braddoro: How much RAM do you have? | 15:53 |
| braddoro | i think 8 | 15:54 |
| lopta | Ah, you'll want 64-bit then. | 15:54 |
| lopta | Unless 32-bit does PAE | 15:54 |
| lopta | Even then, probably. | 15:56 |
| lopta | brb, coffee. | 15:56 |
| lopta | I should go and visit a customer. | 15:57 |
| braddoro | looks like I only have 4gb ram | 15:58 |
| braddoro | DDR2 ram | 15:59 |
| braddoro | Still go with 64 bit? | 15:59 |
| lopta | braddoro: You could go either way with 4G. I recently put 64-bit on my daughter's PC. Seemed to work well enough until I put the WiFi card in. | 16:00 |
| holstein | braddoro: if i have 4gb's of ram, and no requirements i feel i need 32bit for, i use 64bit | 16:00 |
| lopta | ...but I think that's more down to the WiFi card. | 16:00 |
| Meerkat | braddoro, yes. If you can use 64-bit then you should. | 16:00 |
| braddoro | excellent. that is what I was hoping for. This box is kind of old but I was hoping it would hold together. | 16:01 |
| lopta | That's good to know. I'll download 14.04 amd64 then. | 16:02 |
| lopta | Bye all! | 16:02 |
| braddoro | Thank you for the help. | 16:05 |
| braddoro | I am building my usb stick now and am going to shutdown and install the new HD. See you soon. | 16:09 |

| lazar | can someone help me, i want to setup ssh server on my machine but i can only connect to it via localhost but i want remote | 16:57 |
| lazar | anyone? | 16:57 |
| holstein | !ssh | lazar | 16:58 |
| ubottu | lazar: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 16:58 |
| holstein | lazar: try pinging the machines.. make sure you have access through any firewalls.. | 16:58 |

| andrzejr | Meerkat, yes. Are you trying to say that is a feature? ;-) | 17:04 |
| Meerkat | andrzejr, open a folder, go to the preferences under edit (or whatever is to the second option in the menu). Click configure removable devices link in the 'Advanced' tab. Uncheck any options about auto-mounting. | 17:07 |

| asd_cuatro | :/ | 17:17 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | does it only happen with sd cards, or with any removable device, andrzejr? | 17:18 |

| pete284 | VLC says "DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/dvd1"." | 21:31 |
| pete284 | VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/dvd1'. Check the log for details. | 21:32 |
| Unit193 | Right, /dev/dvd (or dvd1) aren't created anymore, use the actual drive location, mine is sr0. | 21:33 |
| pete284 | Thanks very much that works fine. | 21:37 |
| drc | pete284, make sure you modify Removable Drives and Media>Mutlimedia accordingly | 21:39 |
| drc | That way you won't have to remember all this :) | 21:39 |
| pete284 | drc I take it I have to alter the line that says parole --device=%d | 21:43 |
| drc | yes, unless you want to have parole as the default | 21:43 |
| pete284 | exit | 21:47 |

| Travis | ok, I am going to take Xubuntu off my Panasonic laptop for now. If I can't close the lid & open it again without rebooting, it doesn't need to be on this laptop. | 21:56 |
| Unit193 | Have fun? | 21:57 |
| drc | You're right...have fun | 21:57 |
| drc | ah...beat me too it :) | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | Optionally you can fix it if you'd prefer, I think removing light-locker will do. | 22:00 |
| drc | And Make sure Power Manager...Actions is set accordingly. | 22:01 |
| Travis | I removed light locker | 22:01 |
| Travis | It didn't fix the problem. | 22:01 |
| Travis | There's something else. | 22:02 |
| Travis | I haven't had this problem with 12.04. | 22:02 |
| andrzejr | Travis, try to close&open the lid again | 22:21 |
| delt | Hello | 23:38 |
| delt | how do i stop these ---> lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions | 23:39 |
| holstein | where are you seeing them? | 23:39 |
| delt | in my kernel logs | 23:40 |
| delt | oh and i wouldn't consider "stop looking at your kernel logs" as a viable answer :3 | 23:40 |
| holstein | i'll keep quiet then... | 23:41 |
| delt | haha | 23:41 |
| gry | heh | 23:43 |
| gry | http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/lo-Disabled-Privacy-Extensions-td1344623.html looks a bit verbose about this | 23:44 |
| delt | thanks | 23:47 |
