[02:24] <cubed_root> my trackpad is acting funny -- triggering the right-mouse-button menu randomly, right-clicking when i don't mean to, and not clicking when i want to. any suggestions on how to trouble-shoot?
[03:43] <tierpod> monkeynaut: i have same problem with whiskey menu icon
[04:08] <omgitsMATT> hello.
[04:10] <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?
[04:11] <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
[12:13] <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?
[12:14] <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
[12:15] <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
[12:22] <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)
[12:23] <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
[12:50] <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.
[12:51] <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)
[13:02] <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
[13:04] <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?)
[13:08] <TheSheep> yeah
[13:09] <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
[13:10] <TheSheep> that's strange
[13:10] <xubuntu678> yeah, i already thought that maybe the P&P is bugged or broken..
[13:11] <Poisoned_Dragon> is the bios current?
[13:12] <xubuntu678> what i have found on the distributers website is that this is the newest bios,
[13:13] <xubuntu678> if i install xrandr will it overrule the default display manager of xubuntu? (lightdm) if i am correct
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <xubuntu678> Xorg conf files? that's above my linux/ubuntu knowledge
[13:16] <TheSheep> lpoks like bios issue
[13:17] <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
[13:18] <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?
[13:19] <TheSheep> from what i remember, it's how the monitor tells its max resolution and other stuff to the computer
[13:20] <TheSheep> but check wikipedia
[13:20] <xubuntu678> alright thanx
[13:52] <xubuntu678> Good afternoon
[13:53] <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?
[13:57] <TheSheep> you can't install windows drivers on linux
[13:58] <xubuntu678> Do you have a idea for a replacement for the driver or an alternative?
[13:59] <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
[14:00] <TheSheep> !drivers
[14:00] <TheSheep> !nvidia
[14:26] <xubuntu678> apologies for the late replys, but i am running a intel atom n2550 processor with a intergrated graphics 3650, and it just wont run
[14:42] <meek_geek> how r u
[14:42] <meek_geek> is there a free replacement for unrar ?
[15:18] <delt> meek_geek: unrar-free - Unarchiver for .rar files
[15:18] <delt> sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[15:19] <meek_geek> delt, I did already also vrms is reporting virtual as prop
[15:30] <xubuntu678> how can i update my software etc from command prompt? (all at once)
[15:31] <TheSheep> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:31] <slickymasterWork> xubuntu678 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:31] <xubuntu678> thanx
[15:31] <vrkalak> try > sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:33] <xubuntu678> Cs when i try to search & install update through the update manager it says it fails, due to my internet connection while it stays active & stable
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <xubuntu678> pinging to the hostname (ppa.launchpad.net) works fine to so, it shoudn't be a dns problem
[15:57] <delt> 14.04 is supported until 2017 or 2019?
[15:57] <cfhowlett> delt 2019
[15:58] <cfhowlett> delt 2017 - sorry
[15:58] <delt> http://xubuntu.org/help/
[15:58] <delt> oh
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <cfhowlett> delt IIRC due to XFCE support cycle
[16:04] <xubuntu678> does it make any difference for xubuntu if i turn max cpuid value limit ON ?
[16:24] <cubed_root> does xubuntu use the dolphin window file manager by default?
[16:25] <knome> no
[16:26] <cubed_root> what does it use?
[16:26] <slickymasterWork> cubed_root, it uses Thunar
[16:27] <cubed_root> thanks slickymasterWork
[16:27] <slickymasterWork> np
[18:02] <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
[18:03] <xangua> or you can add the places menu
[18:03] <xangua> applet
[18:05] <amigamagic> I know how to do it in the panel, but I would like to place the folder link in the whisker menu.
[18:07] <elfy> create a launcher - thunar /path/to/wherever
[18:10] <amigamagic> I'm trying, but I'm not able to make anything in the whisker menu...  I'm trying with menulibre, but nothing...
[18:11] <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
[18:13] <amigamagic> menulibre crashed with AttributeError in basename(): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind'
[18:13] <amigamagic> ^^this is what tells me the bug report
[18:14] <GridCube> amigamagic, thunar ´/path/to/directory´ ?
[18:14] <amigamagic> to start I tried just with "thunar"
[18:14] <amigamagic> in the command section
[18:17] <amigamagic> but, no matter what I change, whenever I try to save my modded menu, menulibre will crash and doesn't save anything
[18:20] <GridCube> amigamagic, thats bad... what if you try, exo-open /path/to/dir
[18:23] <amigamagic> GridCube, no matter what I do, it crash always whenever I change something (launchers, folders, anything) with menulibre
[18:24] <GridCube> how weird. amigamagic what if you log out and log in using the guest session? does menulibre fails then?
[18:25] <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
[18:26] <amigamagic> elfy, 1.3.2-1
[18:27] <elfy> there is a test version available with some bug fixes
[18:27] <elfy> amigamagic: of menulibre :)
[18:28] <amigamagic> there is a binary?
[18:29] <elfy> amigamagic: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010187.html
[18:31] <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
[18:33] <amigamagic> nothing... logout and login doesn't solve anything
[18:38] <amigamagic> ok the new menulibre doesn't go in crash
[18:39] <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
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <elfy> you'd have to add a new directory - then move the launcher into there - but it will be in the menu
[18:44] <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 ;)
[18:46] <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! :)
[18:48] <elfy> amigamagic: just looking at something
[18:49] <elfy> that's not going to help
[18:50] <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! :)
[18:51] <elfy> oh yea - you can do that :p
[18:55] <elfy> amigamagic: not sure why you'd think you can do this anyway :)
[18:57] <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. :)
[18:58] <elfy> put launcher on the desktop :p
[18:58] <elfy> though I'd shudder if I did that for myself ;)
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <elfy> I *really* don't care what any windows OS has
[19:00] <elfy> at all
[19:01] <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)
[19:02] <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
[19:03] <elfy> frankly I'd use the places plugin on the panel - but there you go - you can choose here ;)
[19:05] <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. :)
[19:08] <amigamagic> elfy, maybe you are a little biased towards windows os?
[19:11] <elfy> amigamagic: that's not really a topic for here ;)
[19:12] <amigamagic> oh, that's true :P
[19:21] <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 ?
[19:30] <kupo_> herro folks
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <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
[20:38] <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
[21:43] <meek_geek> hi
[21:43] <slickymaster> !hi | meek_geek
[21:56] <meek_geek> I want to know how to stop a daemon from auto-start on reboot
[23:03] <xubuntu717> hello
[23:04] <xubuntu717> I have a question, I hope someone can help me :(
[23:05] <xubuntu717> I can't install Xubuntu 14.04. I always get an unknown error.
[23:05] <xubuntu717> http://www.abload.de/img/dsc_0119fdjk6.jpg
[23:05] <xubuntu717> http://www.abload.de/img/dsc_01203sj77.jpg
[23:11] <Unit193> xubuntu717: Can't hit OK and next?
[23:12] <xubuntu717> No, then it returns to the menu where I can choose install beside of a other OS or stand alone, but this time it says there are more than one OS on the hdd
[23:13] <xubuntu717> because it created already the partitions
[23:13] <xubuntu717> I have 2 SSD in RAID0
[23:14] <xubuntu717> maybe thats the problem?
[23:17] <someone235> hi, when my layout is not English most of the hotkeys doesn't work (basic hotkeys such as ctrl + c, ctrl + v etc). Anyone knows how can I fix it?
