[00:17] I just installed xubuntu 14.04 and every time I lock the screen, I can't get it to come back on [00:18] Is there any way to lock the screen without hibernating or suspending the computer? [00:24] Hello all. I'm trying to iron out a frustrating bug on a new install of Xubuntu on an Acer C710 Chromebook [00:25] Window contents don't update unless I click and drag the window's menu bar [00:25] how can i make minecraft.jar executable [00:29] ka: chmod filename +x i think [00:30] thx [00:31] nope [00:31] konoir: maybe there are propriety graphics drivers that would help. [00:32] ka: minecraft is a java program, it is run using java , look the command up online [00:33] ok [00:33] ka java minecraft.jar or somthing like that [00:35] ka here is a description http://askubuntu.com/questions/323565/install-play-minecraft-on-xubuntu-13-04 [00:39] recon_lap: thanks for the response. spent the past 2 hours googling and I haven't come up with anything yet, but I'll keep looking [00:40] konoir: open up the drivers dialog and see if there is a graphics driver you can try [00:42] konoir: settings -> additional drivers [00:42] just upgraded to Xubuntu 14.04, now while playing team fortress 2, I cannot press ctrl+space to crouch and jump, is there some system-wide hotkey blocking it? [00:44] fixed it, was ibus-applet, must be a new thing :) [00:47] recon_lap: Additional Drivers says "no additional drivers available". back to the search... [00:50] konoir: definitely a driver issue from what I'm reading GMA graphics card , ouch [00:57] guys, how can i make new folder wit keyboard hotkey? im using 14.04 [00:57] cant find anywhere to set [00:57] tryed ctrl + shift + n [00:57] tried* [00:59] recon_lap: Ouch is right. Kind of renders the whole thing non-functional... I might reinstall and see if LXDE/KDE/etc solves the problem [00:59] Thanks for the help anyway [01:09] lazar: thats a hard one :) [01:10] :D [01:10] lazar: ctrl + shift +n works, but you have to be in the file manager [01:10] i tried adding mkdir ./New to keyboard shortcuts [01:11] lazar: otherwise it would not know where to add the new folder [01:11] but it only makes folder in ~ [01:11] recona_lap: well that's simply sad [01:11] lazar: try mkdir new [01:12] sec [01:12] lazar: bit hard to know where that folder will be created though [01:13] recon_lap: it goes to ~/ [01:14] it works trough thunar [01:14] lazar: dont think it's doable [01:15] Bump :( [01:15] tnx anyway [01:17] Hello. I think I may have had a problem when I did the upgrade instead of a fresh install. [01:17] I am still having some strange problems with the display menu coming up when I reopen the laptop lid. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:29] Hi. "http://imgur.com/ueNZ2BD" How can I stop the screen from cutting off the edge of the TV when I use an HDMI cable to connect it to my PC (which is running Xubuntu 14.04)? Am wondering if "--scale xxy" command of Xrandr will do the trick, but I am a total beginner at Xubuntu/Linux. Part list "http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3weiH", except flatscreen samsung tv (has both VGA + HDMI inputs). Thank you. [01:35] has anybody found the way to install ubuntuone on xubuntu? [01:38] lazar, even if someone has, one is going to close in a few months [01:38] soooo i should switch to dropbox :D [01:38] :D [01:39] hey - just did a 14.04 fresh install (had been rolling the betas). looks nice. [01:39] burnt a disk anyway [01:41] * gry hands mirkwood an extinguisher [01:41] hehe. It's what I get for digging through reject/predicted-failure drives that are getting tossed [01:41] they are the right price though. [01:44] I didn't check, but is mdraid setup an option again in the installer? I had to do a workaround last time; think I set things up with a gentoo minimal cd then sort of imported the config during an 'advanced' install [01:45] Uhh, alright, sounds like a fun way. I'd have recommended you use the mini iso. :P [01:46] :) had used the alternate install cd for 12.04; wasn't aware of a mini-iso (pain in the butt as I had no dvd drive and the install iso was bigger than a cdr) [01:46] !mini [01:46] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [01:47] hmm didn't catch that for the beta. good to know. [01:47] pretty much on plain debian except for this box [01:48] I like xubuntu; it's like ubuntu with a good UI :) [01:49] and thank goodness I can still select 'free software only'. Can't get into any legal messes. [01:49] silly multiverse. [01:53] is there connect to server on thunar> [01:53] ? [01:58] lazar of course. click, enter credentials and go to town. [02:00] !paste > cfhowlett [02:00] cfhowlett, please see my private message [02:02] lazar http://imagebin.org/307677 [02:03] cfhowlett, found it after first msg, thanks dude [02:03] lazar happy to help [02:04] cfhowlett, so im downloading all my files from ubuntu one coz it's going to be shuted down soon, can you recommend me some cloud storage with good support for xubuntu? [02:05] lazar I used dropbox but there are other options. [02:06] lazar box seems decent [02:14] is there support for thunar? [02:16] lazar eh???? [02:17] dropbox - thunar (file manager on xubuntu) [02:17] like on ubuntu 12.04 [02:17] or something like that [02:17] lazar yes there is windows manager integration [02:17] Reposting: I'm trying to iron out a bug on a new install of Xubuntu on an Acer C710 Chromebook [02:18] Window contents don't update unless I click and drag the window's menu bar or resize the window [02:47] hey folks, I realize that the default file manager is Thunar, but it doesn't do the "expand/collapse arrow next to folder name" thing, which I *really* want. What would you recommend as an alternative? Should I go with Dolphin? Nautilus? Something else? [02:48] Cheri703: sure.. use what you like [02:49] you'll want to be careful using nautilus [02:49] I read some stuff that removing/replacing thunar caused problems with desktop things [02:49] Cheri703: sure. no need to remove or replace it.. just use something else [02:49] hmm. k [02:49] why be careful with nautilus? [02:49] xfdesktop manages the desktop, and it has a patch so that both it and nautilus don't try to manage it at the same time. [02:50] nautilus likes to take over,that's why. [02:56] take over how? [02:57] Cheri703: you can search that.. it takes over, and manages the desktop.. the wallpaper and other things [02:57] hmm, k and I don't want it to? [02:58] Cheri703: it is being implied and suggested that you do not want to do that [02:58] Cheri703: there are ways to use nautilus and have it not do that [02:58] well, I guess "why don't I want it to" [02:58] Cheri703: you have to say [02:58] alright, I'll take a look. [02:58] Cheri703: you dont want to do it, becuase it takes over [02:58] Cheri703: It used to be really bad, patch fixes this. [02:59] k [03:00] To what extent I do not know, I do not have nautilus. Only tested it once in VM when I had to update the patch. [03:03] I've got myself an XUbuntu LiveUSB, but when I try to use it on this one computer it gives me an error "PAE is disabled on this Pentium M" [03:03] I've looked in the BIOS settings, but can't find anything pae related [03:04] GeekDude: Right. So your best option is to use the kernel boot option 'forcepae' [03:05] It says that's unsupported and will tain the kernel [03:05] If I do try to use this parameter, will it permanently change my liveusb drive? [03:07] I'm using the UNetbootin launcher, btw [03:12] Right, taint means that kernel devs don't want to see your kernel panics. :) [03:12] But it won't permanently 'taint' my liveusb setup? [03:14] It's a boot option, it'll just boot up once with it.

I would prefer just a single one. How can I get rid of the garbage? [06:02] it looks like notification panel; try right-clicking a panel, panel, panel preferences, items, notification area, properties, clear or tick as needed [06:07] gry, thanks, if I hide "Xfce Power Manager" I end up with just one - the unity indicator type power icon. but it's useless. it lists my battery, mouse and keyboard, but doesn't display any information about them at all [06:07] then hide it and unhide something else? [06:07] gry, is there a way for it to ignore all my keyboard / mouse stuff? not seeing any settings [06:08] the one I use is called 'xfce power manager' [06:08] ony a battery icon, nothing else [06:09] that one adds 3 icons, one for battery, one for keyboard battery, one for mouse battery [06:32] ciao....

I've a nvidia 330M gpu and xubuntu 13.10 host system. i think i've some wrong configuration for driver/xorg because i've some virtualbox xubuntu guests having 3D not working. can you help me to review my configuration and discover what's wrong? thank you in advance. [07:55] alfatau: did you install the guest additions? [07:56] also did you enable 3D effects? [08:00] of course i installed guest additions and enabled 3D effects [08:01] baizon: can i give you some kind of debug informations? for example... i'm getting some warnings when calling glxinfo/glxgears with 3D enabled in vbox guests. [08:02] i can pastebin them if you have time to help me [08:45] hi [09:07] hi guys, I'm having an issue with updates: /boot is full, i tried with sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoremove but I still haven't enough space (32MB, 65 needed) [09:08] I tried with dpkg -l | grep linux-image [09:09] and tried to remove old kernels leaving the last three installed with sudo apt-get autoremove linux-imgage-3.11.0-{12,13,14}-generic [09:11] but I get a "not found" answer [09:12] copypaste the 'not found' thing in full, I don't get it [09:13] It's in italian [09:13] A possible translation is [09:15] Impossible to find any (data/packet/cluster, don't know the exact translation) using the regular expression "linux-imgage-3.11.0-13-generic" [09:15] and so for the other numbers [09:15] imgage [09:15] try with "image" [09:16] OMG [09:16] I'm a moron [09:16] sorry [09:16] XD [09:18] good find [09:18] and that's called 'human', not 'moron'; 'horse has 4 legs but still stumbles' is a (translated) proverb [09:19] thanks, I was way too focused on possible errors in the kernel number and missed the easy one === gry is now known as Gryllida [09:40] Hello [09:41] is the "envelope/mail" indicator supposed to probe a mailbox and tell you if there's new mail or something? [09:41] not doing it here for local mailbox, and no (apparent) options to configure it [09:42] it's bound to email and IM applications [09:42] not any inbox directly [09:42] oh... so if i leave thunderbird running, then it will show me if it (thunderbird) has mail? [09:42] yes [09:43] hmm... is there a different indicator i can use, that can check in /var/spool/mail?

Sl 05:45 0:01 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-mailwatch-plugin [09:46] that's just firefox that has the url open [09:46] add the applet to the panel [09:46] i don't think it's an indicator [09:47] oh *facepalm* duh [09:50] alright, so that seems to be working. thanks! [09:51] enjoy [10:00] hi! I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 (from Ubuntu 14.04) and notice that, using the default Bluebird theme, some gnome apps like gedit display a tab area in black (that is, the area where new tabs would go). Does anyone know if there's a way to change that colour? thanks! [10:05] czuck, bluebird is not the "default" theme... but you might need to edit the gtkrc file. [10:08] knome: thanks for the reply. After going "apt-get install xbuntu-desktop" and rebooting that is the theme that seemed selected in the settings panel. I will do some research on that gtkrc, thanks. [10:10] czuck, fwiw, "greybird" is the default and is by far the most polished of the themes [10:11] knome: I see. Maybe I am confused after so much theme switching. I just switched to "greybird" and it looks good, except for the same tab area problem. [10:17] knome, czuck: also 'Adwaita'. Others don't appear to support gtk2 _and_ gtk3 properly (and I wouldn't even ship the distro with them). [10:18] Gryllida, well, there needs to be some variation.. and the themes we ship are way better than the majority of themes around [10:19] Gryllida: I just tried "Adwaita". Still the same problem, gedit tab bar completely black (except for the active tab). I am fumbling through gtkrc but can't really seem to find a solution. The only theme to properly set the tab bar colour seems to be "Radiance" but that is way too bright for me [10:21] czuck, maybe it's a thing unrelated to themes [10:22] knome: could be, I honestly have no idea. I need gedit in particular (long story) and the person I'm setting this computer up for has a severe sight impairment which makes the black tab bar a no-go for me. Any idea on where I could find more info on this? [10:23] czuck, you could wait until ochosi gets back, he'd know most probably.. [10:24] knome: ok! thanks for that [10:33] knome: for what it's worth, I managed to fix it by disabling overlay scrollbars [10:34] czuck, right, i thought it might be something like that [10:34] knome: thanks for your help [10:34] no problem, enjoy [10:36] knome: any idea about the "power menu" (the one with the cog on the top right, I am new to Xubuntu) having some of the options not doing anything at all? not critical for the person who has to use this computer, but it bothers me a bit. Namely "System Configuration" and "Log out" don't seem to do anything at all (I just translated those from my localization, so the menu item names may be a bit off) [10:37] czuck, not from the top of my head [10:38] knome: ok, thanks. Maybe it's because I did not clean install and instead came from vanilla Ubuntu. It's not a big deal though. [10:38] czuck: that cog in the corner definitely comes from starting with ubuntu - I had the same issue when I was testing something last cycle [10:40] elfy: oh I see, so clean Xubuntu doesn't have a cog icon like that, everything is done through the top-left main menu [10:40] no [10:41] I mean yes - sorry :) [10:41] elfy: ok, thanks again! :) [10:48] Hi people!

[11:02] I'd not advise that [11:02] elfy, why? [11:02] if it's checking constantly perhaps there is an issue [11:03] How can find that problem? [11:03] because if you don't let it check - then you'll not know about issues [11:04] Hi everybody. Anybody else here who did an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04?

[11:07] I'll be back soon [11:07] alright, then I'll aks like this: Did anybody else experience massive amounts of breakage and feature regression when upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04? Because tbh it's been so bad for me that I'm considering just rolling back to my 12.04 backup and living in there for the rest of this machines lifetime. And then use an entirely different distro for my next machine. [11:08] I absolutely loved 12.04, it was such a polished and great experience and 14.04 is absolutely dreadful in comparison [11:08] but 12.04 software is old as dirt [11:09] I'm just wondering whether this is just my machine and everybody else is fine, or if it really is that bad for other people as well [11:09] bastinenz_: I've gotten used to just reinstall instead of upgrading. if you want to make sure nothing breaks, that's often a good choice [11:10] yeah, well, but then I have to set everything up again, and I get frustrated if I can't replicate some of m old settings...stuff like that [11:11] bastinenz_: not if you save your home directory. my setting up took about an hour, plus some specials because I switched from gentoo, from which some settings could not be transferred to ubuntu [11:12] elfy, fsck checked file systems in recovery mode without errors [11:14] Luyin: you think that maybe I should try that instead? Gotta be honest, setup can be a real pain on my machine because it's a Mac and their efi is absolutely dreadful...I think last time I spent 2 days just getting a working installation on here. [11:14] then, why fsck checks disks so often? [11:15] But if vanilla 14.04 is really good, maybe I could try to make the switch... [11:16] bastinenz_: I can't say anything about setting up an (x|lk)?ubuntu on mac [11:16] btw, one thing I don't get is why so many GUI applications come with GTK3 now...I read really bad things about it and from my experience it's definitely the worst offender in 14.04 [11:18] if everything had stuck with GTK2 I wouldn't have 9/10 of my current problems [11:22] bastinenz_: if everything sticks to old traditions, there's no progress ;) [11:27] good morning. I'm having some issues with returning from suspend. [11:31] Luyin: yeah, but if the new tradition is 5 steps backwards then that is no progress as well ;) [11:32] hi.

[13:46] matariles: hmm. well, from what you've pasted the OS is not seeing that card at all. could it have become unseated? [13:48] I don't know... This is strange, is't it? [13:50] matariles: that lshw only showed a wired nic, no wireless one. looks like a hardware issue [13:51] matariles: but it's odd that it stopped working after an update [13:51] matariles: was that all of the output of lshw -c net ? [13:52] Yes, that's all! [13:54] hi - I accidentally typed ^C in the gui xubuntu installer log window, and it's showing a ^C symbol. I'm hoping it's only a log and that I've not messed up the install...anyone know? [13:54] matariles: maybe try booting with a older usb stick see if the card is detected. but at a bit of a loss if lshw is not showing it. [13:55] I've read on the forums that maybe some keyboard shortcut could disable networking, is it possible? Please, apologize me for my ignorance, i'm just a user... [13:55] andrew66: in the log window, nothing will happen. [13:55] -- bekks: thanks! It's been half an hour since I saw any activity there... [13:55] matariles: should not disable lshw , but maybe [13:56] Ok, I will try, but it was working just a untill a system update [13:57] matariles: thats why I suggest a usb boot. should not have the update. if it detects it the problem is software [13:58] recon_lap: I have started the system with the old kernel, and the issue was the same. [13:59] matariles: and lshw? showing any wireless card? [14:05] recon_lap: lswh not showing wireless... http://paste.ubuntu.com/7345348/plain/ [14:06] matariles: use pastebin.org for pastes , the ones you using requiring logins [14:09] Sorry, sorry!! http://pastebin.com/3A8E0y22 [14:13] matariles: I've no idea, the card just does not seem to be seen by the OS at all. [14:14] Ok, I will restart the system, and try booting with USB... [14:15] recon_lap: thanks a lot, anyway! [14:17] anyone know why arduino IDE can use serial ports when run as root but gives an error when run as a normal user who is a member of dialout group? [14:33] hi, my laptop keeps going into suspend mode when the lid is closed, even though i have all power saving options disabled [14:35] mikeche1en: Check the BIOS options. [14:38] bekks: ok, i never had a problem on this laptop before though [14:39] im going to try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/362667/xubuntu-13-10-disabling-suspend-on-lid-being-closed [14:59] editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf fixed the problem [15:03] here is the bug btw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545 [15:03] Launchpad bug 1307545 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid" [Undecided,Confirmed] === recon_lap is now known as recon_afk [15:29] guys I'm doing the installation now [15:30] I have put mounted iso on apache and it is accesible by a browser [15:31] but installatior is asking me for mirror server name [15:31] then I'm providing my server withapache [15:31] and next the directory [15:32] then i.e. I have 192.168.1.10:80 as server and /ubuntu/ as directory ? [15:38] Is this a good place for new xubuntu users? [15:39] xubuntu309 yes, ask your questions [15:40] Thank you. I have pretty good windows knowledge, but xubuntu seems so very different. where is a good place to start learning with out getting bogged down in technical stuff I will not understand? [15:40] I can see 'WARNING **: bad d-i Packages file' ?? [15:40] in syslog [15:40] !manual|xubuntu309 [15:40] xubuntu309: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [15:41] xubuntu309 maybe you should look at the wiki i think there is also a section for beginners [15:42] I have this case. In xubuntu desktop, i open terminal. behind terminal, i open a pdf file. To scroll down the pdf behind the terminal, I usually point my pointer to the pdf and then scroll. But in xubuntu, when i scroll i minimized the terminal, how to fix that? [15:43] Ok, I will check out those two sources. Thanks! === mja is now known as Guest60328 [17:45] Hi [17:46] Can someone help me ? [17:48] maybe ask your question and we will see on ^^ [17:49] Here's the deal, I tried to install Skype on my laptop with the command line. It transfers me on Softwares & Updates. I'm taking Install and it asking me to authentificate me on the server. [17:51] I don't have any password or nothing for that, so it won't install nothing. [17:59] xubuntu674: you mean you forgot your password? [17:59] but in linux you must have your user password [17:59] Lolll It's my own password ? Sorry I just moved from Windows to Linux so I don't know anything about that [17:59] enter that [18:00] xubuntu674: your the admin on linux, it'll ask sak for your password before it does any sys admin stuff though. [18:01] Ok, so all the time when this thing will pop up, it means I have to enter my own password ? [18:01] xubuntu674: yes, it also means you are changing something admin level on the system. [18:02] Ok, I get it, thank you guys ! [18:03] E:Malformed line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse), E:The list of sources could not be read., E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [18:03] This just showed up when I did reload. [18:05] did you edit sources.list ? [18:07] I edit the server from where I download my Software & Updates to Waterloo.

[18:09] ugh.. sorry, it's /etc/apt/sources.list [18:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7346974/ [18:16] xubuntu674: In line 56, as mentioned there, it should rather be: "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner" [18:17] xubuntu674: yup, it's trying to parse "http://archive.canonical.com/trusty" as the URL which is incorrect, "trusty" and "partner" should be separate [18:18] not sure what the deal is with row 57-61 :) [18:18] LOL, yes. :P [18:19] Ok, I'm just laughing, I don't even know how to change that hahaha, like I said, I just switched up to Linux for the first time.
