[00:34] Continue button is greyed out [00:36] coincidence that firefox 29 is 29mb? [00:41] james0r: #firefox [00:41] james0r: the installation file? [00:42] well i meant specifically the ubuntu package but i'll concede [00:45] Hi, I have a problem with parole, I can't play a DVD with it (libdvcss2 installed) It shows an error in gstreamer: Could not read from resource. http://i.imgur.com/cMzqCyS.png Is this a know issue? How can I solve this? Thanks [00:47] bluesabre: There? [00:54] got it working! [01:06] Hi according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parole/+bug/1098323 this should have been fixed on parole - 0.6.1-0ubuntu1 (0.6.1-0ubuntu3 installed in trusty) but everytime I put a DVD and select parole to play it gstreamer says: Could not read from resource http://i.imgur.com/cMzqCyS.png I have gstreamer-plugin-ugly and libdvdcss2 installed [01:06] Launchpad bug 1098323 in parole (Ubuntu) "Parole failes to play DVD" [Medium,Fix released] [01:12] how does xubuntu set up a guest session [01:12] and why is lightdm showing xfce session AND xubuntu session [01:13] hey [01:13] hey [01:14] i have a quick simple questionn [01:14] is it my computer, or does the shutdown menu take forever to popup :/ [01:14] well over a minute [01:31] must be your computer mine is almost instant [01:40] Xubuntu is looking good [01:49] can you play dvd's in parole¿ [01:50] xangua, Probably if you have the xubuntu-restricted-extras installed [01:50] cyborgcygnus: can you¿ [01:51] xangua, Hang on I'll give it a go [01:52] everytime I insert a DVD gstreamer says it can't read the resource, I can manualy open dvd:///dev/sr0 in parole and plays but I wish it could just play when I insert a DVD [01:53] why should people use parole instead of vlc [01:53] xangua, Nup I'm getting your message in VLC & Parole, in the restricted extras it mentions some dvdread thing you need to install, I'll try now [01:57] cyborgcygnus: I have libdvdcc2 installed, share well it's the default player and uses low resources, I wish to give someone a machine with xubuntu [01:59] xangua, so you got it going? [02:00] brb [02:06] cyborgcygnus: did it work for you? no, everytime I insert a DVD and select parole to open it it says gstreamer couldn't read the resource [02:08] xangua, Did you restart after installation? [02:09] cyborgcygnus: I already had libdvdcss2 installed since day1 [02:13] I installed the restricted extras & it didn't install itself. Had to run this in a terminal just before "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" [02:13] THe dvd works in parole now, not in vlc yet [02:17] cyborgcygnus: when you insert a DVD and select parole to play it, does it play? [02:18] I have to manualy open dvd:///dev/sr0 maybe is because I am using Ubuntu/Unity? haven't tested on xfce desktop [02:25] xangua, Just tried to play the dvd in xbmc & it got stuck reading the dvd, had to force restart my pc [02:26] gonna try in a xubuntu session [02:27] Anybody else get weird noises coming from skype sometimes? I sent a message to someone & I got an annoying buzz sound which I had to quit skype to kill [02:34] aussiedownunder : NSA definatly !!! [02:35] hm, i tried running xubuntu on my cgaming rig and same issue. shutdown menu takes a while to load :/ [02:46] bo_, lol [02:53] xangua, Well that would be the problem, the default setting for opening a dvd wasn't opening the actual dvd [02:53] In other words it does work [03:09] hi [03:10] when I insert the dvd it mounts and automatically opens parole [03:11] it plays fine in xubuntu, no idea why it doesn't play automatically in ubuntu [03:15] xangua: xubuntu is ubuntu.. whats the issue? something autoplays in xubuntu? but not main ubuntu? [03:16] holstein: yes, DVD in parole [03:16] is this just something you need to get to the bottom of? or you want to auto play? or not? [03:16] I am currently on a live session of xubuntu and it worked fine, in my ubuntu install parole shows a gstreamer error; could not read from resource [03:17] could be different versions.. [03:18] bot are 14.04 holstein ,I just wanted to make sure it works in xubuntu and it does (only tried a few, the menus didn't show up fine in The prince of Eggypt [03:19] xangua: different versions of the software [03:19] xangua: the live version can, and likely does have an older version [03:20] holstein: both in live cd and current install are the exactly same version 0.6 revision 3 [03:20] parole 0.6.1-0ubuntu3 [03:22] I also notice in xubuntu it mounts the dvd and the 'Play disc' entry in Parole player is enabled, while in ubuntu when it mounts it the menu is greyed out [03:22] xangua: sure, but we can "notice" a bunch of things. whats the goal here? [03:23] I wanna know if there is a diference between how xfce and unity mount devices? [03:23] xangua: i think you are describing a difference in configuration for autoplay.. [03:24] could be as simple as being configured to auto mount [03:24] should be able to go in and change that... [03:26] they use different filemanagers, and lots of other packages are different [03:27] What on Earth happened to the menu?! [03:27] ball: you'll have to let us know what is happening with your menu [03:28] holstein: I've just installed 14.04 and I dislike the changes to the menu. Are those Xubuntu-specific or are they from Xfce? [03:28] (I'm wondering whether to find another distro) [03:29] ball: is the question "how to i change the current default xubuntu menu back to what it used to be?" ? [03:29] ubuntu 14.10 is called Utopic Unicorn? [03:30] !ubuntu+1 [03:30] Utopic Unicorn is the codename for Ubuntu 14.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [03:30] !ubuntu+2 [03:31] ahh [03:31] ubuntu 15.04 [03:31] cant believe we are almost there [03:31] 16.04 LTS [03:31] holstein: Well, I suppose that's one approach. [03:31] Kekai: please use the #ubuntu+1 channel for 14.10 support/discussion, and the #xubuntu-offtopic channel for chat thanks [03:32] ball: is that the question? [03:32] I've just done a fresh install though so if there's something better out there... [03:32] ...now might be the time. [03:32] ball: "better" is a matter of opinion [03:32] Yes, that's fair. [03:33] I'm just used to thinking of Xubuntu as my favourite Linux. [03:34] ball: that is also a matter of opinion.. and use case [03:34] ball: if you want another menu, you are free to explore options [03:34] ball: if you want another distro, you are also free to explore options [03:35] ball: its *quite* easy to change from the new wisker menu to the old style http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208380 [03:36] from #2 "Right click on panel. Choose Panel > Panel Preferences > Items [03:36] Select Whisker Menu and press the red X on the right (remove) [03:36] Then press + on the right for new item, select 'Applications Menu' and finally press 'Add' [03:36] Use the up and down arrows to position it where you want." [03:37] Is "Whisker" a Xubuntu thing or an Xfce thing though? [03:37] ball: http://gottcode.org/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/ [03:38] ball: i get that you dont like it.. change it if you dont want it.. feel free [03:38] I like it [03:38] you can even give it a shorcut [03:39] sure.. but, "like" doesnt really matter.. its editable.. [03:39] Well that's something, anyway. [03:39] ball: what is "something"? [03:40] that you can change it back to the one you stated you preffered? [03:40] * ball nods [03:40] That's some consolation. [03:40] ball: you can change it all to anything you like.. its all open [03:47] Also this is what parole shows when trying to play a DVD in ubuntu: (parole:4848): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 351 was not found when attempting to remove it [03:48] xangua: to remove what? [03:48] holstein: that is the whole mesage, a single line [03:49] xangua: sure.. when? [03:50] how does someone not like whisker [03:50] holstein: just right now I went back to ubuntu and select parole to play automaticaly when inserting a dvd [03:50] blows my mind. [03:53] james0r: I prefered the old one and was hoping that was just part of Ubuntu's downward slide. Sadly it's an Xfce thing so other distros may have it too. [03:53] ball: ? [03:53] ball: please just change it if you dont like it [03:53] ball, fair enough. takes about 30 seconds to replace it with the old one right? [03:54] ball: some really prefer the, what is arguably, momentum in development [03:54] james0r: I'll have to figure out how. [03:54] ball: i have you a link, and text specifiying exactly how [03:54] i came from Linux Mint Xfce so whisker was standard. i need the search field. must have for me [03:54] thanks holstein [03:54] ball: Right click, remove, right click, add applicationsmenu. [03:55] why 14.04 doesn't ships with Synapse? [03:55] in the repositories* [03:55] xangua: i would check upstream with debian [03:56] xangua: https://launchpad.net/~synapse-core/+archive/ppa [03:57] holstein: I installed the precise package with no issues [03:58] Unit193: Thanks, that's a ton better. [03:58] xangua: sure.. its not in the repos anymore.. there is a PPA that i linked. otherwise, its easiest upstream to get packages in. could be the synapse team is too small to maintain the package.. could be anything [03:59] 0.2.10-2 [03:59] Deleted in jessie-release (Reason: None provided.) :( [04:00] also deleted in sid [04:00] xangua: there is no doubt is is gone [04:04] why would they remove it, it's awesome} [04:05] xangua: as i said, could be the team doesnt provide support, or is small, or just doesnt exist. could have been one maintainer that is not maintaining [04:05] xangua: you can always go upstream and offer to maintain, or help maintain.. or fork.. [04:06] xangua: or, just add the ppa... [04:07] no PPA for trusty but the precise package works fine [04:09] xangua: pretty sure there was one ofr 14.04 [04:09] for* [04:09] xangua: you may prefer that to focing the wrong one.. or, just use something else.. kupfer [04:10] holstein: there is the unstable synapse package ppa witch crashes :P [04:10] xangua: let them know.. [04:11] I like synapse better, it uses zeitgest [04:11] if its unsupported, offer to support, or let it go.. [04:19] It's "dead" upstream. Dead in the sense it still gets commits, but no releases. [04:42] Have you guys gotten any bug reports regarding network manager? Everything was fine but now my connection gets dropped several times an hour despite having a strong signal [04:42] not sure if its related to xubuntu or not [04:58] hello everyone! [04:58] first time here [04:58] am new user of xubuntu [04:58] got a question: [04:59] how to avoid turning on the wifi atstart up? [06:10] hi all. 14.04 already released. do you know when it will be available for automatic upgrade on 12.04 systems? [06:12] with the release of 14.04.1 on 24th July [06:13] is there a way to change onboard layout [06:14] elfy: why? [06:15] akis: why what? you asked when and I told you [06:16] elfy: you have right! https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/ubuntu-12-04-to-14-04-upgrade. i am just wondering! [06:16] I don't know the exact reasons I'm afraid [06:17] elfy: its ok. another question. i have only 4 gb free on my hd. will this upgrade exceed my hd and it will be on the side on the existing 12.04 or it will be on existing 12.04? [06:20] akis I can't answer that - you might have 4Gb free - but you might have 30Gb of packages all needing an upgrade. I'd certainly make sure to clear the existing apt cache prior to upgrading apt-get clean [06:20] and it will upgrade the existing 12.04, it won't install it seperately [06:25] elfy: thank you for advises. i am glad i see that it will upgrade the existing 12.04 and that it won't install it seperately. 30 gb is to big for me because the entire hd is only 35!!! (i am running 12.04 successfully and very smoothly on an old laptop with 1,5 ghz celron and 1,5 gb ram but with only a 35 gb hd). can i run apt-get clean now to see how hd space will be available? [06:26] you can run apt-get clean anytime you want :) [06:32] elfy: i run it and more 0,5 gb is now available but i have still only 4,21 gb available. [06:36] elfy:thank yu anyway for your advises. [06:38] sayiing you have ~4Gb really is meaningless unless we know how big / is and how big /home/user is [06:38] akis: i recommend https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/bleachbit/ [06:38] for cleaning [06:41] i can get some more space deleting my pictures but i relly dont want that. [06:41] akis: run this in a terminal and give us the url df -h | pastebinit [06:43] paste [06:44] give me paste link please [06:44] paste! [06:44] run that and it will give you a url [06:48] ok. i saw the link. http://paste.ubuntu.com/7371145/ [11:26] hi. someone runs xubuntu on a acer netbook? I consider to switch from lubuntu due to lots of annoying bugs and wants to know if it works better with xubuntu or same same [11:28] bjorn_: xfce is far more stable than lxde which is a chinese crap :< [11:29] will it be ok with just 1 gb ram? [11:30] Hmm.. for xubuntu alone it will be fine, but you'll probably run into troubles with modern browsers :| [11:31] i run chrome on lubuntu and its ok. youtube is not very good [11:32] well i might as well try. its bad weather anyway :) [11:32] Will look simmilar. [11:32] Well.. [11:32] Just install xubuntu-desktop [11:33] I mean just install xubuntu-desktop metapackage ;) [11:33] No need to reinstall whole thing just to test. [11:33] oh. explain further. does this mean that I can choose what distro to start up? [11:34] how to rest notications to default standard in xubuntu. After clicking do not show, it never shows notifications [11:34] Hi, I power manager doesn't seems to work with the 14.04. /etc/pm/ scripts aren't executed. Computer doesn't react on the power manager settings like decrease screen brightness after inactivity and so on. How can I debug it? [11:36] flux242: scripts in /etc/pm are executed by pm-utils [11:36] yes, I know [11:36] Wizard, is it like "sudo apt-get install Xubuntu-desktop"and it will run? [11:37] the /usr/lib/upower and xfce4-power-manager-settings are running [11:37] No, with lowercase x, and you will have to log out, choose xubuntu from sessions menu on login screen. [11:37] flux242: can launch the power manager in debug mode with "xfce4-power-manager --debug" [11:38] flux242: just kill the currently running instance with "killall xfce4-power-manager" first [11:38] bjorn_: Didn't you know that all *buntu is basically same system using same software repos? [11:39] Brb, shower. [11:39] how to *reset notications to default in xubuntu. After clicking do not show, it never shows notifications [11:39] Wizard, ok. I tried this in many years ago on a ubuntu -->kubuntu test i ended up with a totally bloated system, but xubuntu is probably easier on the system. [11:39] magi: you mean notification bubbles? [11:40] yes [11:40] magi: and what are you trying to click? [11:40] Wizard, yes I know in some way. [11:41] Hello, how can I know if the wireless card is broken? It is not recognized even in a usb boot... but it was working until yesterday, suddenly after a update and reboot recognized but non working, and after another reboot not present. Thanks in advance!! Wireless info: http://pastebin.com/WMRZRiQ2 [11:42] see i have clicked do not show this when notification appeared. So it isn't showing notification for that particular act.(ex. network connection, bluetooth file transfer) [11:42] hm, xfpm restarted and it starts working [11:42] flux242: that's magic :) [11:43] yeah, but it doesn't work after clean boot.. [11:43] magi: ah, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/67500/how-to-disable-notification-from-network-manager [11:45] flux242: you could file a bug report, simply run "ubuntu-bug xfce4-power-manager" [11:46] I do not have this executable [11:47] thanks brainwash . It helped! :-) [11:47] flux242: looks like you've removed "apport" [11:47] magi: great :) [11:47] brainwash: no, I never installed it [11:49] or file it manually on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ [11:49] btw Do I need any of acpi* packages installed? [11:50] do you? [11:50] I tried to install acpi package. That didn't help. Then I installed acpid and acpi-support. That didn't help either [11:50] I mean is something not working right now? [11:51] power management and pm-utils aren't working [11:51] right [11:52] pm-utils usually creates log files in /var/log [11:52] like pm-suspend.log [11:53] * Wizard is back [11:53] bjorn_: Still here? [11:53] Wizard, yes [11:54] And how's xubuntu working for you? [11:54] Wizard, not done yet [11:54] brainwash: thanks, I see in the log that my script aren't executable. It wasn't needed previously though [11:55] it wasn't?! [11:55] I'm pretty sure that they have to be marked as executable [11:56] hm, I've copied them from my previous installation. Maybe the flags got lost in the transition [11:57] and regarding the power manager problem, restarting it seems to be at least an easy workaround [11:57] so you could automate it via an autostart script or something like that [11:58] Wizard, i get this "bloat" feeling again when I open my lubuntu start menu ;) [11:58] Why? [11:58] Wizard, just so many programs I will never use [11:58] ok, scripts are working now. [11:58] Xubuntu 14.04 uses this fantastic whiskers menu. [11:58] brainwash: yeah, I already have some xrandr add mode script in the autostart [11:59] Wizard: I don't like it. I'm using older application menu [12:00] Wizard: I simply cannot find anything in the whiskers menu he [12:00] Well, at least you have a choice, flux242 ;) [12:00] yep [12:04] Wizard, now done. brb [12:08] btw, can I style the login screen somehow. Because the default login screen looks lame [12:08] :D [12:08] It was better previously [12:08] Wizard, now its up and running. [12:08] flux242: It is lightdm, so the answer is yes, you can. [12:09] flux242: you can select a different theme, see /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf [12:10] try "Numix" instead of "Greybird" [12:10] ok, I'll take a look [12:10] bjorn_: And how's the taste? [12:11] Wizard, It feels better for sure. like ubuntu 7-8 years ago but better :) and lubuntu is what xubuntu was back then [12:11] LOL [12:12] brainwash: is it the same setting I can select in the appearence dialog? [12:12] flux242: Nope. [12:12] flux242: no, this config file only changes the appearance of the greeter screen [12:13] ok [12:13] bjorn_: And what about memory usage? [12:14] Wizard, Can I have a "online" applet in the dock to show ram and processor? [12:14] is this the right place to get help for xubuntu? newbeeeee [12:14] bjorn_: Sure. [12:14] iimki: yes, this it the right place [12:14] is [12:14] new to linux coming in from windows [12:15] bjorn_: I use "system monitor", it is installed by default. [12:15] iimki: Just ask questions. [12:15] dumping windows and trying to go linux cold turkey [12:15] cold greece ;) [12:16] iimki: Just forget everything you know about software and you'll be fine. [12:16] iimki: I'm trying Xubuntu again for the first time since 12.04... dual boot on the netbook [12:16] will keep this site open and look around a bit when I need help will ask thanks [12:17] running on a shuttle [12:18] went through about 20 distro's decided xubuntu most usable for me [12:18] its ok, but I like the one I used in lubuntu better, it showed how parameters changed with time. [12:20] now with dropbox, chrome xchat and thunderbird I use about 500 mb of my ram [12:20] after trying other distro's and not getting anywhere this is first one I was able to some what use [12:20] Wizard, but [12:21] Wizard, but I know chrome is heavy if many tabs are open [12:21] iimki: Matter of taste. [12:21] bjorn_: Depends on amount of flash/javascript ;D [12:22] :) [12:22] agree but as a total newbee I don't have any taste [12:23] honesty at it's finest [12:24] how do you save the settings on this (xchat) so you can find your way back?? [12:25] iimki: I've edited freenode on server list, put proper nicks and so. [12:27] duuu found the help button ..will read [12:29] how can I move the panel down to the bottom of the screen? [12:29] bjorn_: Sure. [12:29] Go to panel settings, deselect "Locked" checkbox. Two handles will appear on each side, drag the panel with the handles. [12:30] Than you can lock it again. [12:30] I know this is weird :D [12:31] great thanks [12:31] well I think I have figured it out thanks will sign off and try to reconnect [12:39] I know its nerdy but how can I change the "lubuntu" login and shout down screen to xbuntu? [12:41] bjorn_: Hmm, there are packages like lubuntu-something-theme, I don't remember exact name. [12:41] You can safely remove them. [12:41] hi, want to copy all the contacts off and old iPhone 3gs over a USB cable, anyone know an easy way to do this? [12:42] bjorn_ I believe it "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop to install all the default packages - including login. [12:42] cfhowlett: Themes aren't changed. [12:42] cfhowlett, I have done that [12:42] !purexubuntu [12:42] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [12:42] Oh. [12:42] How nice :) [12:43] !purexfce [12:43] If you want to remove all !KDE and !Gnome packages and have a default !Xubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce » [12:43] Wizard just took a minuthttp://rosegardenmusic.com/resources/e for the brain cells to catch up [12:43] cfhowlett, they didn't ask to remove lubuntu. [12:43] knome ah, that's different then. [12:44] bjorn_: apt-cache search lubuntu | grep theme [12:45] Also lubuntu-default-settings. [12:45] Wizard, and then what? paste? [12:45] Remove these packages and dpkg shall automatically switch to xubuntu plymouth themes. [12:48] can I write some terminal magic line to do it all, or is it "sudo-apt get remove" on everey package? [12:49] You can use apt-get remove with a list of packages. [12:49] bjorn_ sudo apt-get remove package1 package2 package3 [12:49] Oh, just like that. [12:49] ok [12:49] * Wizard hopes bjorn_ won't break anything :> [12:50] hahah ;) [12:50] dont mind, all files that are important is in my dropbox anyway. this is just my toy computer [12:51] cfhowlett: 404. [12:51] Wizard eh? [12:51] rose garden link you gave me. [12:52] Wizard www.rosengardenmusic.com [12:52] bjorn_: apt-cache search | grep | cut | xargs apt-get install [12:52] wtf? [12:52] bjorn_: *remove [12:53] Wizard: bjorn_ asks for a oneliner for removing all packages [12:53] Wizard, watch your language. [12:54] Tiensbakung, errr. [12:54] knome: Oops, sorry. [12:54] knome: ?? [12:54] Tiensbakung, no, he didn't. [12:54] god I hate closed systems , apple sucks making simple stuff hard [12:54] "all packages" [12:55] knome: sorry, I mean all *matched* packages by grep [12:55] ;) [12:55] wizard: http://rosegardenmusic.com/ [12:55] my shed key has the number 404 on it... the fact I find it funny (and/or crack a it's missing joke) every time I use it I think sayz it all... [12:56] if you have non-support related discussions, you can take them to #xubuntu-offtopic [12:57] Does xubuntu offer something for formatting usb drives? (or floppies) :P [12:57] sorry :) was just a timing thing... [12:58] Wizard of course! command line! [12:58] JohnN, it's ok, and not only you who i meant [12:58] :D [12:58] Wizard, you can install gparted [12:59] Sometimes I just miss windows 95's right click→format :D [13:12] Hello, can anybody help mi resolve my problem? :( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2221207 [13:14] ronmu, why don't you delete the partions from gparted before installation since you already have it open? [13:14] sda6 is shown as mounted [13:14] knome, because i can't. There's no option to delete this partition [13:14] that's why it's locked. [13:15] how can I unmount this partition? [13:15] which has, in turn locked sd4 [13:15] run gparted before the installer [13:15] you can unmount in gparted [13:19] how? There's no option 'unmount' [13:19] only 'Deactivate' [13:19] resize/move, manage flags [13:21] yes, deactivate [13:21] it's a swap partition [13:22] 48,34 swap?? [13:22] GB* [13:22] oh, wait. that should be a swap. it's so big [13:22] sda6 = lvm2 pv [13:23] sda5, probably boot partition [13:23] so should I deactive sda6 (locked)? [13:24] yeah [13:50] '/' partition should be logical or primary? [13:51] you can put / on the moon, if it's a partition connected to your computer. [13:53] what partition should I create? [13:53] '/' and swap? [13:54] How much ram do you have? [13:54] Do you like to use the hibernate feature? [13:54] 4gb, sometimes [13:55] but '/ [13:55] is a 'must' partition? is that right? [13:55] To use hibernate, swap has to be as big, or bigger than your ram [13:55] Yes [13:56] If you didn't set one, the installer will yell at you. [13:56] ok, thank You for help :) [13:56] ronmu: make sure / mount to a big enough partition, for me, it's about 20GB [13:57] Tiensbakung: well I'm going to creater 44GB '/' and ~ 8GB swap file. No home partition. [13:57] create* [13:58] ronmu: then you are good to go:) [13:58] \o/ [14:00] previously I was using fedora 20, but damn, too many kernel errors :/ [14:04] hello [14:04] II am currently installing XUbuntu 14.04 on an old IBM ThinkPad [14:05] and the installation stops close to the end [14:05] and the system hangs [14:05] IBM forbids the use of linux on it's computers. [14:05] j/k [14:06] Does it have enough ram? [14:06] hope not :-) [14:06]
