[00:11] <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.
[00:24] <RippSteakface> Nevermind I think I figured it out for now.
[05:36] <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?
[06:30] <bold_> I have compiled and installed a program from source and installed it. I want to remove that program now. How to do it?
[06:32] <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
[06:38] <veebull> are you running nvidia graphics?
[06:42] <delt> yes
[06:42] <delt> that might be the problem?
[06:43] <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.
[06:44] <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
[06:45] <delt> *searches*
[06:45] <delt> also i should test with "nouveau" driver see if it also causes the same problem
[06:48] <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.
[06:51] <delt> this is weird.... with "nouveau" the problem is similar, but xrandr --auto can reactivate the screen.

[07:00] <veebull> bekks: thanks!
[08:13] <SunilJoshi> hello, where i can dpkg logs?
[08:14] <SunilJoshi> I am getting a black screen as soon as i perform sudo apt-get upgrade
[09:30] <starrats> good morning to all who might be awake
[09:58] <SunilJoshi> How can create shutdown and restart options on the desktop same as we have on the login screen in xubuntu14.04
[10:03] <starrats> SunilJoshi there are those options when you shutdown/restart on 14.04, what do you want to do?
[10:06] <SunilJoshi> starrats: i can see logout option but there is no shutdown/restart option in the menu
[10:07] <starrats> have clicked on the logout button?
[10:08] <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
[10:14] <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
[10:16] <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.
[10:18] <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! :-(
[11:40] <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
[13:09] <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
[13:11] <cfhowlett> cubed_root nope.
[13:12] <cubed_root> thanks cfhowlett
[13:12] <starrats> cfhowlett is cinnamon available for xubuntu now?
[13:12] <cfhowlett> !info cimmamon
[13:12] <starrats> ah okay thanks
[13:13] <starrats> was just curious
[13:13] <cubed_root> bah -- why did i upgrade to 14 lol
[13:15] <starrats> cubed_root why do you say this?
[13:16] <cubed_root> because i've just had a couple of problems running 14 and i haven't had time to look into
[13:17] <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
[13:20] <starrats> you can always put mint on vm or as a partition on your HDD, mint offers cinnamon.
[13:25] <cubed_root> yea i was thinking about doing this. i just made some space on my hard drive (made my windows partition smaller)
[14:36] <Azelphur> how do I stop the screen from locking on Xubuntu 14.04?
[14:37] <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
[14:39] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <Azelphur> guess I'll install xscreensaver for that
[15:10] <xubuntu541> hello everybody, just installing xubuntu ...
[15:10] <xubuntu541> :)
[15:14] <might_get_loud> hi, welcome to the family
[15:14] <might_get_loud> :)
[16:10] <yerill> 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] <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
[17:18] <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/
[17:21] <drc> Everything else looks like pulseaudio related.
[17:21] <slickymaster> !nl ! xubuntu439
[17:21] <slickymaster> !nl | xubuntu439
[17:21] <dreamon> drc, pulseaudio is bad for me. skype sound is looping and microphone is not hearable
[17:23] <xubuntu439> thanks ubottu, .... my monitor controls have disappeared .. and i am trying to cable into a tv/monitor .... any hints??
[17:24] <drc> xubuntu439: ubottu is a bot, his help will be very limited :)
[17:24] <xubuntu439> aha
 try to install volti or xfce-volumed
[17:27] <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
[17:33] <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?
[17:38] <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 :(
[17:39] <drc> a_muva__: I have no problem, it's dreamon, and we thought alike on alsamixer :)
[17:40] <dreamon> nono.. I have a lot of issues since upgrad 12.04 to 14.04. Its just a little thing :)
[17:43] <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
[17:47] <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 :)
[17:48] <a_muva__> dreamon: try to add Launcher
[17:51] <dreamon> hehe.. volti does a icon in Panel :)
[17:51] <dreamon> that rock. thanks!!
[18:42] <xubuntu155> Hi.
[18:43] <drc> hello
[18:43] <xubuntu155> I'm installing xubuntu 14.04 right now, what do you have?
[18:45] <xubuntu155> Szia.
[18:45]  * Unit193 looks at the channel name.
[18:46] <Unit193> Xubuntu! :D
[18:46] <drc> What!  I'm in the wrong place...darn!
[18:47] <xubuntu155> Lol.
[18:47] <xubuntu155> What did you think you were in?
[19:01] <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?
[19:02] <Unit193> Hard, or chance of success?
[19:02] <eleventeen> Info about both would be nice, if there's a difference.
[19:03] <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.
[19:04] <eleventeen> Okay, which magics in particular are supposed to happen? Also, would going to 13.10 first keep the standard magic?
[19:05] <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.)
[19:06] <eleventeen> Okay, so would going through 13.10 first make sure that stuff still happens?
[19:06] <Unit193> Yep.
[19:06] <eleventeen> Hmm
[19:09] <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
[19:11] <Unit193> Sure.
[19:31] <xubuntu902> Hi :)
[19:31] <drc> hello
[19:32] <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?
[19:33] <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?
[19:34] <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
[19:35] <knome> the xubuntu logo colors are specified in http://xubuntu.org/marketingresources/
[19:35] <xubuntu902> Thank you very much, knome :)
[20:24] <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?
[20:31] <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?
[20:32] <drc> I said " live cd/dvd/usb" then realized the "cd" was no longer valid :)
[20:33] <drc> 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] <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.
[20:38] <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.
[20:39] <drc> stepborc, not knome :)
[20:39] <knome> i get it ;)
[20:45] <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.
[20:46] <drc> 13.10?  " Since a few days" ?
[20:46] <stepborc> Sorry, not 13.10. Since 13.04.
[20:47] <drc> 13.04 or 14.04 ?
[20:48] <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
[20:49] <drc> I'm out
[20:52] <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.
[20:55] <stepborc> by the way, i prefer (x)ubuntu. There are more support as on Manjaro.
