| omgitsMATT | my vpn subscription expired, I need to buy a new one. anyone have any experience or reccomendations for something that works well with Xubuntu 14.04 and Android devices? | 04:10 |
| holstein | omgitsMATT: i would ask the provider for specific operating system support.. but any should work fine from xubuntu, and xubuntu wont do anything to prevent any of them from working well | 04:11 |
| omgitsMATT | i should head to google then and get looking. thanks holstein | 04:11 |

| cubed_root | how does one determine the name of an app that you can launch from the command line? | 12:13 |
| TheSheep | depends, what do you know about the app? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | cubed what is the app name? | 12:13 |
| cubed_root | well i want to replace the default screenshot tool with "screenshot" which i believe is a gimp tool | 12:14 |
| cubed_root | just dont know the name to put application shortcuts window | 12:14 |
| TheSheep | if you know what is the package name, you can list the files with dpkg -L | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | and the files on /usr/bin are the commanss | 12:15 |
| TheSheep | commands | 12:15 |
| cubed_root | hm.. thanks TheSheep | 12:15 |
| cubed_root | fortunately the help window of the app linked to the developer's site, i'm not used to that in windows (finding helpful info in the help options) | 12:22 |
| cubed_root | has anyone noticed some glitchiness in the touchpad in 14? | 12:23 |
| cubed_root | i'm not positive it's 14, but my touchpad lately either doesn't click when i want it to, or right-clicks when i dont want it to | 12:23 |
| xubuntu678 | Good afternoon, i am working with xubuntu 14.04 on a Shuttle xs35v3l and I am having trouble with the setup of 2 monitors (VGA 22" Acer display & 23" samsung HDMI display). Xubuntu boots bij default on the HDMI (samsung) display and when i trie to configure/turn on the second VGA (acer) display it does see the display but it isn't sending any signals over the VGA output. and the display stays in idle. | 12:50 |
| xubuntu678 | I would really apreciate it if someone could help me out with this and tell me what im doing wrong etc. (I am kind of a ubuntu/linux noob but i do know my way arround networks and computers) | 12:51 |
| xubuntu678 | Hi there | 13:02 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu678: try to restart computer with all cablws unplugged | 13:02 |
| TheSheep | somwtimes bios disables the otherboutput at boot | 13:02 |
| xubuntu678 | i already checked my bios, i have integrated Intel 3650 graphics, It is a really locked bios where i can't even get a complete list of "onboard" devices | 13:04 |
| xubuntu678 | all unplugged cables (dispaly cables?) | 13:04 |
| TheSheep | yeah | 13:08 |
| xubuntu678 | when i plug in the hdmi/vga cable after booting without any display cables, it doesn't turn on either of the displays | 13:09 |
| TheSheep | also, if you don't use it, xrandr is the best commandline tool for managing displays | 13:09 |
| TheSheep | that's strange | 13:10 |
| xubuntu678 | yeah, i already thought that maybe the P&P is bugged or broken.. | 13:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | is the bios current? | 13:11 |
| xubuntu678 | what i have found on the distributers website is that this is the newest bios, | 13:12 |
| xubuntu678 | if i install xrandr will it overrule the default display manager of xubuntu? (lightdm) if i am correct | 13:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | xrandr has nothing to do with DMs | 13:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | it helps with configuring displays | 13:14 |
| xubuntu678 | ohh alright, | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | ans it's installed by sefault I think | 13:14 |
| TheSheep | xrandr --auto | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | usually fixes stuf | 13:15 |
| TheSheep | f | 13:15 |
| xubuntu678 | xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA-0 | 13:15 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Yes it is. Has come in handy when needing display names for writing Xorg conf files | 13:15 |
| xubuntu678 | Xorg conf files? that's above my linux/ubuntu knowledge | 13:16 |
| TheSheep | lpoks like bios issue | 13:16 |
| xubuntu678 | is there a good program for xubuntu to chek the bios? | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | no | 13:17 |
| xubuntu678 | Cs from the vendor they only give the "default"/first bios installed | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | bios is up to the vendor | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | try to contact them for support | 13:17 |
| TheSheep | just don't tell them you are using linux | 13:18 |
| xubuntu678 | alrighty | 13:18 |
| xubuntu678 | for my curiocity what does crtc stand for? | 13:18 |
| TheSheep | from what i remember, it's how the monitor tells its max resolution and other stuff to the computer | 13:19 |
| TheSheep | but check wikipedia | 13:20 |
| xubuntu678 | alright thanx | 13:20 |
| xubuntu678 | Good afternoon | 13:52 |
| xubuntu678 | i am trying to install the Chipset&VGA drivers on my shuttle xs35v3l running xubuntu 14.04. The requirements for the system to install are from windows 7 upto windows XP but it isn't able to install With wine | 13:53 |
| xubuntu678 | Does anyone have any suggestions for another windows emulator or a diffrent way to install it? | 13:53 |
| TheSheep | you can't install windows drivers on linux | 13:57 |
| xubuntu678 | Do you have a idea for a replacement for the driver or an alternative? | 13:58 |
| TheSheep | normally all the drivers are already included in linux, except for the proprietary ones | 13:59 |
| TheSheep | so you don't need to install anything | 13:59 |
| TheSheep | !drivers | 14:00 |
| TheSheep | !nvidia | 14:00 |

| xubuntu678 | hi there, when i try and update with sudo apt-get update it tries to connect to ppa.launchpad.net (91.189.95.83) and this fails.. does anyone know why? | 15:54 |
| xubuntu678 | pinging to this ip goess fine | 15:54 |
| xubuntu678 | pinging to the hostname (ppa.launchpad.net) works fine to so, it shoudn't be a dns problem | 15:55 |

| delt | is that just xubuntu or other *buntu distros? | 15:58 |
| delt | cause iirc ubuntu is supported until 2019 | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | delt xubuntu is for 3 years | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | delt IIRC due to XFCE support cycle | 15:59 |
| xubuntu678 | does it make any difference for xubuntu if i turn max cpuid value limit ON ? | 16:04 |
| cubed_root | does xubuntu use the dolphin window file manager by default? | 16:24 |
| knome | no | 16:25 |
| cubed_root | what does it use? | 16:26 |
| slickymasterWork | cubed_root, it uses Thunar | 16:26 |
| cubed_root | thanks slickymasterWork | 16:27 |
| slickymasterWork | np | 16:27 |
| amigamagic | someone knows if I can add a link to folder in the whisker menu? I mean, something like a "Downloads" icon, so that when you click on it, it will open thunar in the Download folder | 18:02 |
| xangua | or you can add the places menu | 18:03 |
| xangua | applet | 18:03 |
| amigamagic | I know how to do it in the panel, but I would like to place the folder link in the whisker menu. | 18:05 |
| elfy | create a launcher - thunar /path/to/wherever | 18:07 |
| amigamagic | I'm trying, but I'm not able to make anything in the whisker menu... I'm trying with menulibre, but nothing... | 18:10 |
| elfy | works for me amigamagic | 18:11 |
| amigamagic | I created the launcher and placed somewhere in there, but then menulibre goes in crash | 18:11 |
| amigamagic | when I save the menu... | 18:11 |
| elfy | oh | 18:11 |
| amigamagic | menulibre crashed with AttributeError in basename(): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind' | 18:13 |
| amigamagic | ^^this is what tells me the bug report | 18:13 |
| GridCube | amigamagic, thunar ´/path/to/directory´ ? | 18:14 |
| amigamagic | to start I tried just with "thunar" | 18:14 |
| amigamagic | in the command section | 18:14 |
| amigamagic | but, no matter what I change, whenever I try to save my modded menu, menulibre will crash and doesn't save anything | 18:17 |
| GridCube | amigamagic, thats bad... what if you try, exo-open /path/to/dir | 18:20 |
| amigamagic | GridCube, no matter what I do, it crash always whenever I change something (launchers, folders, anything) with menulibre | 18:23 |
| GridCube | how weird. amigamagic what if you log out and log in using the guest session? does menulibre fails then? | 18:24 |
| amigamagic | I'm trying to add/remove whisker menu from the panel | 18:25 |
| laldoballi | hi to everyone...this is my first time with xubuntu and it seems that xubuntu doesn't see my external hard disk.I tried with fdisk and lsusb but it doesn't recognize it | 18:25 |
| elfy | amigamagic: what version of it do you have | 18:25 |
| amigamagic | elfy, 1.3.2-1 | 18:26 |
| elfy | there is a test version available with some bug fixes | 18:27 |
| elfy | amigamagic: of menulibre :) | 18:27 |
| amigamagic | there is a binary? | 18:28 |
| elfy | amigamagic: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010187.html | 18:29 |
| amigamagic | thanks elfy, I want to try first to logout and login and check if this solves something, then I will apply the mods from your link | 18:31 |
| amigamagic | nothing... logout and login doesn't solve anything | 18:33 |
| amigamagic | ok the new menulibre doesn't go in crash | 18:38 |
| amigamagic | but I'm not able to add anything to it... I mean, I create the launcher but then I cannot see where it is in the whisker menu | 18:39 |
| elfy | look for it in All first - or even search for it | 18:39 |
| amigamagic | ah, you have to search it... | 18:40 |
| amigamagic | so I cannot add something in the right column? | 18:40 |
| elfy | once you've found it - right click add to favourites | 18:40 |
| elfy | probably | 18:40 |
| amigamagic | the right column is hard coded? | 18:40 |
| elfy | you'd have to add a new directory - then move the launcher into there - but it will be in the menu | 18:41 |
| amigamagic | mmmh... I can move a launcher in there, but then I should have to do 3 clicks to open the downloads folder (1 click to open whisker menu, 1 to open downloads dir and another one on the launcher) | 18:44 |
| elfy | then don't do it - you asked how to - I told you what you can do ;) | 18:44 |
| amigamagic | of course, I was only trying to create a link to a folder in the right column of the whisker menu, but I think this can't be done with current whisker menu implementation | 18:46 |
| amigamagic | at least, now I can mod the menu with menulibre without crash... Thanks for the bugfixes! :) | 18:46 |
| elfy | amigamagic: just looking at something | 18:48 |
| elfy | that's not going to help | 18:49 |
| elfy | amigamagic: why not put launcher on the panel? | 18:50 |
| amigamagic | there is an option to go inside the categories without click. It's useful! At least I can save a click! :) | 18:50 |
| elfy | oh yea - you can do that :p | 18:51 |
| elfy | amigamagic: not sure why you'd think you can do this anyway :) | 18:55 |
| amigamagic | elfy, I could put the launcher on the panel, it's true, but I was trying to place (and run) apps only from the whisker menu, so that I have more free space on the taskbar. I'm always looking for the (near)perfect UI for my needs and tastes. :) | 18:57 |
| elfy | put launcher on the desktop :p | 18:58 |
| elfy | though I'd shudder if I did that for myself ;) | 18:58 |
| amigamagic | And being that I'm used to windows 7 UI and start menu I always try unconsciously to recreate its interface. | 18:59 |
| amigamagic | (it has download folder in the start menu :p ) | 18:59 |
| elfy | amigamagic: if I was going to want to do that I'd probably use a nested launcher and have all the 'places' I want to access in the same place | 18:59 |
| elfy | I *really* don't care what any windows OS has | 19:00 |
| elfy | at all | 19:00 |
| amigamagic | elfy, now I created a "home" folder inside the whisker menu (right column) and I'm creating all the launchers for the usual dir like documents, downloads, images, etc. | 19:01 |
| amigamagic | inside the "home" folder... | 19:01 |
| amigamagic | so that I can easily access to them with only one click (the click on the whisker menu icon) | 19:01 |
| amigamagic | (and of course I'm using the option to go inside a category without having to click with the mouse) | 19:02 |
| elfy | yep | 19:02 |
| elfy | frankly I'd use the places plugin on the panel - but there you go - you can choose here ;) | 19:03 |
| amigamagic | yes I could use that too, albeit it would take some space on the panel... Anyway, I like when you can customize the UI as you want. :) | 19:05 |
| amigamagic | elfy, maybe you are a little biased towards windows os? | 19:08 |
| elfy | amigamagic: that's not really a topic for here ;) | 19:11 |
| amigamagic | oh, that's true :P | 19:12 |
| EugeneBandit | Hello! I'm currently running the latest version of xubuntu on a laptop. Since the distribution upgrade, my system seems to have issues with the power manager. Since then, 2 battery state icons are displayed and the system hibernates (i guess?) when the lid is closed, which is different from the settings in xfce's setting manager. Any ideas ? | 19:21 |
| kupo_ | herro folks | 19:30 |
| cubed_root | EugeneBandit: I had the same problem with duplicate battery state icons. you should be able to remove the second one new one as it appears as a separate widge | 20:11 |
| cubed_root | *widget | 20:11 |
| EugeneBandit | yeah, i just guess that was relevant to the hibernation/power manager issue | 20:12 |
| EugeneBandit | like there's two power managers running or something | 20:12 |
| cubed_root | i think it"s just that there are was an icon in the indicators section/panel and now there"s one that"s a separate power mgmt widget | 20:13 |
| delt | the laptop lid bug (shuts down screen) seems to be a bug in xfce and not xubuntu/ubuntustudio... it also happens in linux mint with xfce | 20:38 |
