nonyaChrome works right00:14
plstuxhey hey! has anyone found a solution to the whole blank screen after wake from suspend thing?00:35
plstux(14.04)00:35
plstuxi installed a newer version of xfce4-power-manager from a patched PPA, but still get black screens00:36
Poisoned_DragonI ended up having to swap out light-locker for gnome-screensaver.00:37
Poisoned_DragonSeems to have cleared it up.00:38
Poisoned_DragonSo, you can revert away from the ppa, restore the previous power manager.00:38
plstuxi installed gnome-screensaver, but it doesn't show up in my xfce admin panel thing00:40
plstuxdo i have to uninstall light-locker for it to show up?00:40
Poisoned_Dragonthat's because gnome-screensaver doesn't have a config gui.00:40
Poisoned_DragonSo, no icon in settings manager.00:40
Poisoned_DragonJust go into startup and change it from light-locker to gnome-screensaver00:41
Poisoned_Dragonwant to test it now? killall -9 light-locker and use alt-f2 to start gnome-screensaver.00:41
Poisoned_DragonIf it works for you, then pull light-locker00:42
plstuxcan't find out how to configure gnome-screensaver though?00:44
plstuxor does it just blank the screen depending on when my timers are set in power manager?00:44
Poisoned_Dragonit's just a blanker00:45
Poisoned_Dragonit blanks when the power manager tells it to.00:45
Poisoned_DragonOr when the system is locked.00:45
Poisoned_DragonIt's pretty easy peasy, if you're not looking for pretty.00:45
Poisoned_DragonI would prefer to use light-locker, but it needs the kinks worked out, first.00:46
plstuxi am a simple man00:46
plstuxjust tested it out, it shows my session for a split second on resume but does lock00:46
plstuxso this is good enough until light-locker is patched!00:46
plstuxthanks for your help dude00:46
Poisoned_Dragonno prob.00:47
Poisoned_Dragonif you want it to lock, that can be controlled in the power manager00:47
Poisoned_DragonIf you're having an issue where the laptop is suspending on lid close, and you don't want that, you have to edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf00:48
plstuxsweet, yeah i did some digging earlier and discovered i needed to edit logind.conf00:48
plstuxnothing worse than suspending on lid close00:49
Poisoned_Dragonjust edit #LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes to LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no00:49
Poisoned_Dragonif you changed this line, #HandleLidSwitch=suspend, change it back.00:49
Poisoned_DragonOr, just remark it00:50
Poisoned_DragonThen all will be well.00:50
plstuxoh, yeah, I changed that line00:50
plstuxis that the wrong way to do it?00:50
Poisoned_DragonNot wrong, just a bit more dirty.00:51
Poisoned_DragonI find LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=no to be power manager friendly. Gives you more control through the power manager.00:51
plstuxeasy, changed it around00:51
plstuxthanks for all the help00:52
Poisoned_Dragontest it out and let us know.,00:52
Poisoned_Dragonno prob00:52
Masterjedi688Hello00:52
Masterjedi688I'm here looking for some info from everyone00:52
Poisoned_DragonJust ask your question. If someone knows an answer, they'll chime in.00:53
Masterjedi688At the present time I have Bodhi Linux on my old pc and I'd like to know which is small in terms of RAM and Hard drive between them?00:53
Masterjedi688My pc is about 7-8 years of age, Dell Dimension B110, 2.53GHz, 1 GB of RAM and about 80GB of Hard drive, Intel Celeron R cpu00:54
Masterjedi688Basically, I'm just looking for an easier Linux distro.  My pc used to have windows XP on.  Just glad I got rid of XP00:56
OverboostThe laptop that I am currently using is from 04, running Xubuntu 14.04 pretty good.00:57
Guest253hello :)00:58
Masterjedi688Mine is a desktop00:58
Masterjedi688Hi Guest25300:58
Guest253fresh install 14.04 running very well on my laptop00:58
Guest253i like it00:59
Masterjedi688ok00:59
plstuxit'll run it fine00:59
plstuxRAM will be fine with midori and keeping the tab count low00:59
Masterjedi688Xubu uses Midori?01:00
Masterjedi688Tab count?01:01
Overboosthttp://postimg.org/image/p141u8h9v/01:02
Masterjedi688I guess I'll keep some reasearch about Xubu and a few other Linux distros01:03
Masterjedi688thanks01:03

vcamargohey fellas! how are you doing?05:05
vcamargodoes any of you have an useful tutorial on how to update from xubuntu 13.10 to the 14.04?05:05
mapphey05:06
mappcant u just run th do-release-upgrade cmd05:06
vcamargoi'm new to xubuntu and i'm really excited to try this new version05:06
cfhowlett_mapp not until point release 14.04.105:06
mappoh05:06
vcamargomapp, i tried that but it didn't worked05:06
vcamargoshould i download it and install it from a cd maybe?05:07
cfhowlett_vcamargo torrent 14.04.  verify the ISO with md5sum.  make a USB.  verify the USB.  boot your computer from USB.  Install.05:07
vcamargois that the only way?05:07
vcamargocfhowlett_, thanks for that, but would you have any other alternative?05:07
cfhowlett_vcamargo wait until july and sudo apt-get do-release-upgrade05:08
vcamargocfhowlett_, it would overwrite my current installation right? i do not intend to do so05:08
vcamargocfhowlett_, oh, ok then05:08
vcamargocfhowlett_, thanks!05:08
cfhowlett_vcamargo happy to help05:08
vcamargocfhowlett_, is that the only way right?05:09
cfhowlett_vcamargo upgrade or clean install are your options.05:09
vcamargocfhowlett_, i mean, wait for a new version and then use do-release-upgrade05:09
cfhowlett_vcamargo OR download the ISO now and clean install05:10
vcamargodo you know why do-release-upgrade is not working now?05:10
vcamargois there any specific reason?05:11
cfhowlett_vcamargo because it doesn't kick in until point release 105:11
vcamargocfhowlett_, right, thanks ;)05:13
xubuntu495hi everyone05:42
xubuntu495i need to know where can i find a list of supported notebooks for the xubunto operating system. i need this before try to install it because with an older version of ubunto i had problems with the display of my Packard Bell EasyNote LJ 65. Can someone help me? tks05:47
xubuntu463Hello.06:00
cfhowlett_xubuntu463 dell xps 13 developer edition06:01
xubuntu463I need help with xubuntu 14.04 lightdm login window.  I have to change my uid to 201 because I use NFS and all other computers in the network have this uid for me.  However, when I do this, the lightdm login no longer shows my username.06:02
xubuntu463I tried editing /etc/lightdm/users.conf and set minimum-uid=100 but it didn't help.06:03
xubuntu463It's annoying to have to select "Other" from the menu and type both your username and password every time the screen saver activates.06:03
Name141Can Xubuntu be true LTS? I think there was one that wouldn't let you stay LTS?06:11
cfhowlett_Name141 14.04 is LTS06:12
cfhowlett_Name141 and if it's LTS it STAYS lts ...06:12
Name141cfhowlett_: I think Lubuntu you can't stay LTS?06:13
Name141and have to roll ?06:13
Name141or I could be wrong06:13
cfhowlett_Name141 what do you mean "can't stay".  LTS is LTS.  that doesn't change06:13
bazhangLTS stays that way06:13

Name141XFCE runs pretty decent06:40
bazhanglubuntu is quite a bit lighter06:41
bazhangtry it and see06:41
bazhanglubuntu-desktop is the package06:42
Name141ah I done went and reinstalled06:42
Name141it was a new setup anyway06:42
bazhangyou can have multiple DE's on a single machine06:57
bazhangthen choose between them at login ; ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop etc06:57
Name141Yeah, but I didn't want to be using up more space06:58
Name141with a new install anyway06:58
bazhangif space is at a premium there are smaller 'core' packages07:00
Name141ah not that much, 500 GB WD Blue I think is in the dell07:00
Name141I doubt there was worth messing with the 64 Bit OS vs 32 bit with an E2160 and 2 GBs of RAM?07:01
bazhangmight you upgrade ram sometime in the future?07:02
bazhangthere's really no reason to not run 64bit if your machine allows07:03
bazhanganother advantage to tje 'core' packages is they dont bring in multiple clients, office suites, etc07:04
Name141no, I'm not messing with DDR207:06

BoozeWoozHi, I've having horrible booting times (2min), created bootchart, can someone take look at it please? http://i.imgur.com/iNP82Jl.png10:06
sharebootchart is ugly10:08
BoozeWoozwhat to use instead?10:08
sharesystemd-analyze10:09
sharesystemd-analyze blame10:09
sharebut bootchart is also useful10:09
BoozeWoozok, i'll use the blame thing, once give it 2min to boot :)10:10
shareyou don tneed10:10
shareBoozeWooz: if you are using systemd you just run the command after booting10:10
deltcan you install stuff from the ubuntu repos in linux mint?10:13
deltand/or in linux mint debian edition?10:13

brainwashlinux mint is basically ubuntu10:28
BoozeWoozits CD rom caddy, i put harddisk inside it, will check connections again, thanks for looking and helping!10:28
brainwashthe debian edition is based on debian, so it will cause trouble10:28
brainwashBoozeWooz: at least we got a hint now :)10:29
BoozeWoozyes, in worst case i can recompile kernel and remove these annoying thing (to fail on 1st try)10:29

counter_hi, which mpc client can be integrated at the xubuntu sound indicator?12:47
JustanickHello, where I can find the option to disable the automatic lock/logout of the session on idle? Xubuntu 14.0413:03
JustanickLightLocker:13:05
JustanickAutomatically lock the session  is set to never13:05
brainwashcounter_: I suggest that you test them all, it's not very likely that someone here knows an answer13:11
counter_I already tested several clients, none appeared at the indicator, is a manual add required?13:13
brainwashif the clients don't support the required interface, then adding them manually won't help much13:14
brainwashbut it's still worth a try13:15
brainwashbtw are you talking about terminal based or graphical clients?13:16
counter_gui clients13:16
counter_all clients: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients , I am not sure what this is, maybe what I need? "mpDris2 - Background client that exposes MPD to D-Bus via the MPRIS2 interface, e.g. for the gnome / ubuntu sound menu. "13:20

ffafardWeird16:05
ElderDryasffafard: Is there anything special about your mouse (multiple wireless setup, keyboard and mouse use same connector, for example)?16:06
ffafardWell, I use a KVM switch but both keyboard and mouse have their own USB port16:07
ffafardAnd they are wired16:08
ElderDryasNot a solution, but I'd suggest taking the kvm out of the picture.  If things work then, we know it's something with the kvm and work from there.  If not, then we look at something else.16:09
ElderDryasone variable at a time :)16:09

kingplusplusplease how do i exit magnifier mode in xubuntu... i think i pressed some keys d my all screen changed the windows are controlled by mouse. Its like full screen but bigger21:32
David-Akingplusplus: I dont know what magnifier you have, but if it behaves like the on in compiz it may be controlled by the mouse wheel plus a modifier key. e.g. alt+wheel, ctrl+wheel, super+wheel or something like that.21:36
kingplusplusDavid-A: i dont use compiz... i touch some key combinations mistakenly and i do not know them. screen just changed and i cant see full size of window not even the status bar above.... i have to move mouse up, down, left, to be able to see any part21:38
David-Akingplusplus: another hunch. ones upon a time, resolution changes could be performed with the + and - keys on the numeric keypad in combination with modifier keys, e.g ctrl-shift-minus or alt-ctrl-minus or alt-shift-minus or something like that.21:43
kingplusplusDavid-A: fixed it by change resolution up and down21:45
kingplusplusand back to normal21:45
kingplusplusthanks for your concern though and attempted effort to help21:46
David-Akingplusplus: then there probably is a key combination to change resolution. but we will never know what it is. :)21:48
