[00:11] 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. [00:24] Nevermind I think I figured it out for now. === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube === Htbrdd1 is now known as Htbrdd [05:36] 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] this? [06:30] I have compiled and installed a program from source and installed it. I want to remove that program now. How to do it? [06:32] Hello [06:32] 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] even xrandr --auto, or xset dpms force on don't do it [06:38] are you running nvidia graphics? [06:42] yes [06:42] that might be the problem? [06:43] the nv driver causing this problem? [06:43] 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. [06:44] 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] re? [06:44] thanks, that was very helpful info [06:45] *searches* [06:45] also i should test with "nouveau" driver see if it also causes the same problem [06:48] 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. [06:51] this is weird.... with "nouveau" the problem is similar, but xrandr --auto can reactivate the screen. [06:56] !nomodeset | veebull [06:56] 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 [07:00] bekks: thanks! [08:13] hello, where i can dpkg logs? [08:14] I am getting a black screen as soon as i perform sudo apt-get upgrade === [1]amigamagic is now known as amigamagic [09:30] good morning to all who might be awake [09:58] How can create shutdown and restart options on the desktop same as we have on the login screen in xubuntu14.04 [10:03] SunilJoshi there are those options when you shutdown/restart on 14.04, what do you want to do? [10:06] starrats: i can see logout option but there is no shutdown/restart option in the menu [10:07] have clicked on the logout button? [10:08] 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 [10:14] 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 [10:16] 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. [10:18] 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! :-( [11:40] 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 === mtrd is now known as EugeneBandit [13:09] 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] i'm running 14.04 i should also mention [13:11] cubed_root nope. [13:12] thanks cfhowlett [13:12] cfhowlett is cinnamon available for xubuntu now? [13:12] !info cimmamon [13:12] Package cimmamon does not exist in trusty [13:12] ah okay thanks [13:13] was just curious [13:13] bah -- why did i upgrade to 14 lol [13:15] cubed_root why do you say this? [13:16] because i've just had a couple of problems running 14 and i haven't had time to look into [13:17] and wanted to try cinnamon & enlightment and it sounds like i'll have to wait [13:17] i'm guessing all will be right in a couple months though [13:20] you can always put mint on vm or as a partition on your HDD, mint offers cinnamon. [13:25] yea i was thinking about doing this. i just made some space on my hard drive (made my windows partition smaller) [14:36] how do I stop the screen from locking on Xubuntu 14.04? [14:37] Azelphur, In Settings Manager -> Light Locker Settings [14:37] slickymaster: it's set to Never on both blank screen and switch off display, yet it keeps doing it [14:39] there's also power manager, which is set to never on AC, yet it still turns off [14:39] wondering if there's any more places to try [14:41] Azelphur, in the Light Locker Settings did you set the 'Enable light-locker' to Off? [14:41] no [14:41] do it [14:41] slickymaster: done, I have no lock screen now though haha [14:42] guess I'll install xscreensaver for that [15:10] hello everybody, just installing xubuntu ... [15:10] :) [15:14] hi, welcome to the family [15:14] :) [16:10] hi, have a question regarding blueman-manager. i'm getting "Device added successfully, but failed to connect" when trying to use a bluetooth headset. workd well when using 12.04 ubuntu with gnome-bluetooth, but not with xubuntu and blueman [17:12] 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 [17:18] hoi, ik krijg mijn monitor dingus niet te zien .... probeer hem aan een externe door te kabelen [17:18] dreamon: Looks like there's a "volumeicon-alsa", but I have idea if it's anygoos, or even current. [17:18] s/anygoos/any good/ [17:21] Everything else looks like pulseaudio related. [17:21] !nl ! xubuntu439 [17:21] slickymaster: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:21] !nl | xubuntu439 [17:21] xubuntu439: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [17:21] drc, pulseaudio is bad for me. skype sound is looping and microphone is not hearable [17:23] thanks ubottu, .... my monitor controls have disappeared .. and i am trying to cable into a tv/monitor .... any hints?? [17:24] xubuntu439: ubottu is a bot, his help will be very limited :) [17:24] aha [17:25] : try to install volti or xfce-volumed [17:27] a_muva__: does volumed give one a panel widget or just the ability to use the multimedia buttons (say, on laptops) ? [17:27] xfce-volumed is an applet [17:33] 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? [17:38] drc: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/230106/how-to-set-volume-in-xubuntu. if not just remove it. [17:38] dreamon: You can always create a launcher and run alsamixer from it...really sub-optimal :( [17:39] a_muva__: I have no problem, it's dreamon, and we thought alike on alsamixer :) [17:40] nono.. I have a lot of issues since upgrad 12.04 to 14.04. Its just a little thing :) [17:43] dreamon: the link a_muva__ gave references an xfce4-mixer...this might be another option. [17:43] again, no idea, never used it, not installed [17:47] 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 :) [17:48] dreamon: try to add Launcher [17:51] hehe.. volti does a icon in Panel :) [17:51] that rock. thanks!! [18:42] Hi. [18:43] hello [18:43] I'm installing xubuntu 14.04 right now, what do you have? [18:45] Szia. [18:45] * Unit193 looks at the channel name. [18:46] Xubuntu! :D [18:46] What! I'm in the wrong place...darn! [18:47] Lol. [18:47] What did you think you were in? [19:01] 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? [19:02] Hard, or chance of success? [19:02] Info about both would be nice, if there's a difference. [19:03] 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] Could end up being more effort than just hopping a few versions. [19:04] Okay, which magics in particular are supposed to happen? Also, would going to 13.10 first keep the standard magic? [19:05] 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.) [19:06] Okay, so would going through 13.10 first make sure that stuff still happens? [19:06] Yep. [19:06] Hmm [19:09] I guess since I won't be around long to troubleshoot issues on this compy, I'll just do the safe way. [19:09] Unit193: thanks [19:11] Sure. [19:31] Hi :) [19:31] hello [19:32] 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] what colors? [19:33] #000000 ... [19:33] it's black [19:33] Yes - there was a list which colors should be used on Xubuntu, Ubuntu ... [19:33] in the logo or somewhere else? [19:34] Yes [19:34] yes to which one? [19:34] Logo, Menu... [19:34] the ubuntu color palette is at http://design.ubuntu.com/brand/colour-palette [19:35] the xubuntu logo colors are specified in http://xubuntu.org/marketingresources/ [19:35] Thank you very much, knome :) [20:24] 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? [20:31] stepborc: 1) They worked before? (I'm assuming yes) 2) Did they work Out Of The Box before? 3) You've changed 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] uhm? [20:31] there is? [20:31] well, no, but there is live DVD... [20:31] :P [20:31] why wouldn't there be live? [20:32] I said " live cd/dvd/usb" then realized the "cd" was no longer valid :) [20:33] shoild have been more specific. [20:34] * drc hopes knome is planning a well-earned vacation as soon as the reins are handed over? [20:37] 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. [20:38] drc, let's see. i've taken breaks before, they are definitely for the best [20:38] Before you go any further, I'd try that. Come back and let us know and we can work from there. [20:39] stepborc, not knome :) [20:39] i get it ;) [20:45] 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. [20:46] 13.10? " Since a few days" ? [20:46] Sorry, not 13.10. Since 13.04. [20:47] 13.04 or 14.04 ? [20:48] The volume key stopped working a few days before. the other keys stopp there work earlier, but they are not really neccessary. [20:48] 13.04 [20:49] I'm out [20:52] 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. [20:55] by the way, i prefer (x)ubuntu. There are more support as on Manjaro.
