| RippSteakface | Anyone know of a way to break the Sensors Plugin away from the upper panel and into the desktop area space? I've seen some cool screenshots from Ubuntu distros with the CPU temp/etc. as a widget on the desktop. | 00:11 |

| RippSteakface | Nevermind I think I figured it out for now. | 00:24 |

| akis | hi all. i just followed instuctions from here http://www.mysolutions.it/mounting-your-mtp-androids-sd-card-on-ubuntu/ to mount my mtp device succesfully. But any time i unmount it and then i want to mount again i have to give again commands : sudo chmod 775 /media/MTPdevice & sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/MTPdevice to mount it again. Is there anyway to write a script for auto-mount any time i connect the device to my 12.04 system? any idea on | 05:36 |
| akis | this? | 05:36 |
| bold_ | I have compiled and installed a program from source and installed it. I want to remove that program now. How to do it? | 06:30 |
| delt | Hello | 06:32 |
| delt | My laptop screen shuts itself off when i close the laptop lid, and there's no way to get it back on except to change console, or reboot | 06:32 |
| delt | even xrandr --auto, or xset dpms force on don't do it | 06:32 |
| veebull | are you running nvidia graphics? | 06:38 |
| delt | yes | 06:42 |
| delt | that might be the problem? | 06:42 |
| delt | the nv driver causing this problem? | 06:43 |
| veebull | delt: I've had similar problems off-n-on... I noticed on the ubuntu forums a number of threads where folks had problems with the current kernel and nvidia graphics, specifically regarding resume from sleep, after boot, etc. | 06:43 |
| veebull | delt: I don't recall the specifics, but I think they recommended passing specific parameters to the kernel on boot - you'd have to search the forums to find the details | 06:44 |
| delt | re? | 06:44 |
| delt | thanks, that was very helpful info | 06:44 |
| delt | *searches* | 06:45 |
| delt | also i should test with "nouveau" driver see if it also causes the same problem | 06:45 |
| veebull | not sure... I just saw it in passing when I was fighting with another problem (couldn't get past a black screen on startup using a USB stick install). I think I was searching for 'black screen' or 'blank screen' - something like that. | 06:48 |
| delt | this is weird.... with "nouveau" the problem is similar, but xrandr --auto can reactivate the screen. | 06:51 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | veebull | 06:56 |
| ubottu | veebull: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 06:56 |
| veebull | bekks: thanks! | 07:00 |

| starrats | good morning to all who might be awake | 09:30 |
| SunilJoshi | How can create shutdown and restart options on the desktop same as we have on the login screen in xubuntu14.04 | 09:58 |
| starrats | SunilJoshi there are those options when you shutdown/restart on 14.04, what do you want to do? | 10:03 |
| SunilJoshi | starrats: i can see logout option but there is no shutdown/restart option in the menu | 10:06 |
| starrats | have clicked on the logout button? | 10:07 |
| elfy | not sure about on the desktop - but add Action Plugins to the panel if you want - then right click on it and you can set up the actions you want | 10:08 |
| xubuntu889 | I'm just arrived at 14.04 lts. I like it much more than 12.04 I used for some years but I have some troubles | 10:14 |
| xubuntu889 | First of all graphics: Some colour in certain area of the video, disappear. Only moving the mouse on there come out again but then they disappear again. | 10:16 |
| xubuntu889 | Then I have trouble with the users. I have an external home where I have some users. I add it through the main menu, without the password to log, but when I try to log by them, the system ask me a password that of course is incorrect so I cannot access to my old profiles! :-( | 10:18 |
| xubuntu713 | hi I could really use some help. I'm not that tech savvy but I do know a little. I have a Sony vaio VGN-NR120E laptop. it has xubuntu system installed and it used to work ok, but now it won't boot up. I try the f-11 key on boot up but it just keeps going going going with errors | 11:40 |

| cubed_root | i'm running xubuntu, but want to try out some of the other desktop environments (cinnamon & enlightenment). this shouldn't affect my xubuntu installtion, right? | 13:09 |
| cubed_root | i'm running 14.04 i should also mention | 13:09 |
| cfhowlett | cubed_root nope. | 13:11 |
| cubed_root | thanks cfhowlett | 13:12 |
| starrats | cfhowlett is cinnamon available for xubuntu now? | 13:12 |
| cfhowlett | !info cimmamon | 13:12 |
| ubottu | Package cimmamon does not exist in trusty | 13:12 |
| starrats | ah okay thanks | 13:12 |
| starrats | was just curious | 13:13 |
| cubed_root | bah -- why did i upgrade to 14 lol | 13:13 |
| starrats | cubed_root why do you say this? | 13:15 |
| cubed_root | because i've just had a couple of problems running 14 and i haven't had time to look into | 13:16 |
| cubed_root | and wanted to try cinnamon & enlightment and it sounds like i'll have to wait | 13:17 |
| cubed_root | i'm guessing all will be right in a couple months though | 13:17 |
| starrats | you can always put mint on vm or as a partition on your HDD, mint offers cinnamon. | 13:20 |
| cubed_root | yea i was thinking about doing this. i just made some space on my hard drive (made my windows partition smaller) | 13:25 |
| Azelphur | how do I stop the screen from locking on Xubuntu 14.04? | 14:36 |
| slickymaster | Azelphur, In Settings Manager -> Light Locker Settings | 14:37 |
| Azelphur | slickymaster: it's set to Never on both blank screen and switch off display, yet it keeps doing it | 14:37 |
| Azelphur | there's also power manager, which is set to never on AC, yet it still turns off | 14:39 |
| Azelphur | wondering if there's any more places to try | 14:39 |
| slickymaster | Azelphur, in the Light Locker Settings did you set the 'Enable light-locker' to Off? | 14:41 |
| Azelphur | no | 14:41 |
| slickymaster | do it | 14:41 |
| Azelphur | slickymaster: done, I have no lock screen now though haha | 14:41 |
| Azelphur | guess I'll install xscreensaver for that | 14:42 |

| dreamon | Hello. I have removed pulseaudio from Ubuntu 14.04. had audio problems. Now it works with alsa, but my panel dont have any volumecontrol anymore | 17:12 |
| xubuntu439 | hoi, ik krijg mijn monitor dingus niet te zien .... probeer hem aan een externe door te kabelen | 17:18 |
| drc | dreamon: Looks like there's a "volumeicon-alsa", but I have <no> idea if it's anygoos, or even current. | 17:18 |
| drc | s/anygoos/any good/ | 17:18 |
| drc | Everything else looks like pulseaudio related. | 17:21 |
| slickymaster | !nl ! xubuntu439 | 17:21 |
| ubottu | slickymaster: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:21 |

| ubottu | xubuntu439: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl | 17:21 |
| dreamon | drc, pulseaudio is bad for me. skype sound is looping and microphone is not hearable | 17:21 |
| xubuntu439 | thanks ubottu, .... my monitor controls have disappeared .. and i am trying to cable into a tv/monitor .... any hints?? | 17:23 |
| drc | xubuntu439: ubottu is a bot, his help will be very limited :) | 17:24 |
| xubuntu439 | aha | 17:24 |
| a_muva__ | <dreamon>: try to install volti or xfce-volumed | 17:25 |
| drc | a_muva__: does volumed give one a panel widget or just the ability to use the multimedia buttons (say, on laptops) ? | 17:27 |
| a_muva__ | xfce-volumed is an applet | 17:27 |
| drc | a_muva__: Not to get confrontational here, but "This is a volume keys control daemon for Xfce Desktop environment. It controls the volume using multimedia keys, for the card configured in xfce4-mixer." I have it installed and can find nothing in "add Items" that even suggests adding a volume control to the panel. What am I missing? | 17:33 |
| a_muva__ | drc: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/230106/how-to-set-volume-in-xubuntu. if not just remove it. | 17:38 |
| drc | dreamon: You can always create a launcher and run alsamixer from it...really sub-optimal :( | 17:38 |
| drc | a_muva__: I have no problem, it's dreamon, and we thought alike on alsamixer :) | 17:39 |
| dreamon | nono.. I have a lot of issues since upgrad 12.04 to 14.04. Its just a little thing :) | 17:40 |
| drc | dreamon: the link a_muva__ gave references an xfce4-mixer...this might be another option. | 17:43 |
| drc | again, no idea, never used it, not installed | 17:43 |
| dreamon | xfce4-mixer -> does a good job. since removed pulseaudio a have no auto control on panel. but the panel also makes problemes. I cannot change positions on notifier, or hide. but thats next problem :) | 17:47 |
| a_muva__ | dreamon: try to add Launcher | 17:48 |
| dreamon | hehe.. volti does a icon in Panel :) | 17:51 |
| dreamon | that rock. thanks!! | 17:51 |
| xubuntu155 | Hi. | 18:42 |
| drc | hello | 18:43 |
| xubuntu155 | I'm installing xubuntu 14.04 right now, what do you have? | 18:43 |
| xubuntu155 | Szia. | 18:45 |
| * Unit193 looks at the channel name. | 18:45 | |
| Unit193 | Xubuntu! :D | 18:46 |
| drc | What! I'm in the wrong place...darn! | 18:46 |
| xubuntu155 | Lol. | 18:47 |
| xubuntu155 | What did you think you were in? | 18:47 |
| eleventeen | On a scale from 1 to "compiling the Plan 9 kernel for a Raspberry Pi", how difficult would it be to upgrade straight from 12.10 to 14.04? | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | Hard, or chance of success? | 19:02 |
| eleventeen | Info about both would be nice, if there's a difference. | 19:02 |
| Unit193 | Easy to do, but it's unsupported (thus pretty much untested) and you don't get any magic done by do-release-upgrade. | 19:03 |
| Unit193 | Could end up being more effort than just hopping a few versions. | 19:03 |
| eleventeen | Okay, which magics in particular are supposed to happen? Also, would going to 13.10 first keep the standard magic? | 19:04 |
| Unit193 | I have no idea what do-release-upgrade does, I just know it does some things to try and make it as smooth as it can (marking some packages to be removed, keeping some, gracefully backing out, etc.) | 19:05 |
| eleventeen | Okay, so would going through 13.10 first make sure that stuff still happens? | 19:06 |
| Unit193 | Yep. | 19:06 |
| eleventeen | Hmm | 19:06 |
| eleventeen | I guess since I won't be around long to troubleshoot issues on this compy, I'll just do the safe way. | 19:09 |
| eleventeen | Unit193: thanks | 19:09 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 19:11 |
| xubuntu902 | Hi :) | 19:31 |
| drc | hello | 19:31 |
| xubuntu902 | One questeion: where can I get informations about the colors used in xubuntu? There'd been a page on wiki.ubuntu.com but I can't find it... | 19:32 |
| knome | what colors? | 19:32 |
| xubuntu902 | #000000 ... | 19:33 |
| drc | it's black | 19:33 |
| xubuntu902 | Yes - there was a list which colors should be used on Xubuntu, Ubuntu ... | 19:33 |
| knome | in the logo or somewhere else? | 19:33 |
| xubuntu902 | Yes | 19:34 |
| knome | yes to which one? | 19:34 |
| xubuntu902 | Logo, Menu... | 19:34 |
| knome | the ubuntu color palette is at http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/colour-palette | 19:34 |
| knome | the xubuntu logo colors are specified in http://xubuntu.org/marketingresources/ | 19:35 |
| xubuntu902 | Thank you very much, knome :) | 19:35 |
| stepborc | I'm a onwer of a logitech K520 keyboard. Since a few days the mute and the volume keys stop working. has sombody an idea whats happend? | 20:24 |
| drc | stepborc: 1) They worked before? (I'm assuming yes) 2) Did they work Out Of The Box before? 3) You've changed <nothing> since they were working? 4) Do they work if you boot the live cd/dvd/usb? | 20:31 |
| * drc suddenly realizes that there is no more Live CD :) | 20:31 | |
| knome | uhm? | 20:31 |
| drc | there is? | 20:31 |
| knome | well, no, but there is live DVD... | 20:31 |
| knome | :P | 20:31 |
| knome | why wouldn't there be live? | 20:31 |
| drc | I said " live cd/dvd/usb" then realized the "cd" was no longer valid :) | 20:32 |
| drc | shoild have been more specific. | 20:33 |
| * drc hopes knome is planning a well-earned vacation as soon as the reins are handed over? | 20:34 | |
| stepborc | drc: yes they worked before. I update the system more or less daily. May an update change something. I think it's a good idea to try a live system. | 20:37 |
| knome | drc, let's see. i've taken breaks before, they are definitely for the best | 20:38 |
| drc | Before you go any further, I'd try that. Come back and let us know and we can work from there. | 20:38 |
| drc | stepborc, not knome :) | 20:39 |
| knome | i get it ;) | 20:39 |
| stepborc | I will try it, but i think it's a kernel problem. On my parallel Manjaro 0.8.9 installation with kernel 3.10.xxx every key on th eK520 is working. Since Ubuntu 13.10 the for-/backward and play/pause key stopped working. | 20:45 |
| drc | 13.10? " Since a few days" ? | 20:46 |
| stepborc | Sorry, not 13.10. Since 13.04. | 20:46 |
| drc | 13.04 or 14.04 ? | 20:47 |
| stepborc | The volume key stopped working a few days before. the other keys stopp there work earlier, but they are not really neccessary. | 20:48 |
| stepborc | 13.04 | 20:48 |
| drc | I'm out | 20:49 |
| stepborc | why? the keyboard has a lot of multimedia keys. on the left there are the for-/backward/play keys. They stopped working on 13.04. I accept it. The keys on the right side (loudness) worked well. If I get a customer call I can mute the music. That's ok. | 20:52 |
| stepborc | by the way, i prefer (x)ubuntu. There are more support as on Manjaro. | 20:55 |
