[02:24] 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] monkeynaut: i have same problem with whiskey menu icon [04:08] hello. [04:10] 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] 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] i should head to google then and get looking. thanks holstein === qwebirc795810 is now known as slickymasterWork === qwebirc704438 is now known as slickymasterWork === qwebirc998502 is now known as slickymasterWork === qwebirc506388 is now known as slickymasterWork [12:13] how does one determine the name of an app that you can launch from the command line? [12:13] depends, what do you know about the app? [12:13] cubed what is the app name? [12:14] well i want to replace the default screenshot tool with "screenshot" which i believe is a gimp tool [12:14] just dont know the name to put application shortcuts window [12:15] if you know what is the package name, you can list the files with dpkg -L [12:15] and the files on /usr/bin are the commanss [12:15] commands [12:15] hm.. thanks TheSheep [12:22] 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] has anyone noticed some glitchiness in the touchpad in 14? [12:23] 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] 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] 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] Hi there [13:02] xubuntu678: try to restart computer with all cablws unplugged [13:02] somwtimes bios disables the otherboutput at boot [13:04] 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] all unplugged cables (dispaly cables?) [13:08] yeah [13:09] 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] also, if you don't use it, xrandr is the best commandline tool for managing displays [13:10] that's strange [13:10] yeah, i already thought that maybe the P&P is bugged or broken.. [13:11] is the bios current? [13:12] what i have found on the distributers website is that this is the newest bios, [13:13] if i install xrandr will it overrule the default display manager of xubuntu? (lightdm) if i am correct [13:14] xrandr has nothing to do with DMs [13:14] it helps with configuring displays [13:14] ohh alright, [13:14] ans it's installed by sefault I think [13:15] xrandr --auto [13:15] usually fixes stuf [13:15] f [13:15] xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA-0 [13:15] Yes it is. Has come in handy when needing display names for writing Xorg conf files [13:16] Xorg conf files? that's above my linux/ubuntu knowledge [13:16] lpoks like bios issue [13:17] is there a good program for xubuntu to chek the bios? [13:17] no [13:17] Cs from the vendor they only give the "default"/first bios installed [13:17] bios is up to the vendor [13:17] try to contact them for support [13:18] just don't tell them you are using linux [13:18] alrighty [13:18] for my curiocity what does crtc stand for? [13:19] from what i remember, it's how the monitor tells its max resolution and other stuff to the computer [13:20] but check wikipedia [13:20] alright thanx [13:52] Good afternoon [13:53] 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] Does anyone have any suggestions for another windows emulator or a diffrent way to install it? [13:57] you can't install windows drivers on linux [13:58] Do you have a idea for a replacement for the driver or an alternative? [13:59] normally all the drivers are already included in linux, except for the proprietary ones [13:59] so you don't need to install anything [14:00] !drivers [14:00] !nvidia [14:00] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto === qwebirc603818 is now known as slickymasterWork [14:26] apologies for the late replys, but i am running a intel atom n2550 processor with a intergrated graphics 3650, and it just wont run === qwebirc693416 is now known as slickymasterWork [14:42] how r u [14:42] is there a free replacement for unrar ? === qwebirc207130 is now known as slickymasterWork === qwebirc808673 is now known as slickymasterWork [15:18] meek_geek: unrar-free - Unarchiver for .rar files [15:18] sudo apt-get install unrar-free [15:19] delt, I did already also vrms is reporting virtual as prop [15:30] how can i update my software etc from command prompt? (all at once) [15:31] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [15:31] xubuntu678 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [15:31] thanx [15:31] try > sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:33] 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] 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] pinging to this ip goess fine [15:55] pinging to the hostname (ppa.launchpad.net) works fine to so, it shoudn't be a dns problem [15:57] 14.04 is supported until 2017 or 2019? [15:57] delt 2019 [15:58] delt 2017 - sorry [15:58] http://xubuntu.org/help/ [15:58] oh [15:58] is that just xubuntu or other *buntu distros? [15:58] cause iirc ubuntu is supported until 2019 [15:58] delt xubuntu is for 3 years [15:59] delt IIRC due to XFCE support cycle [16:04] does it make any difference for xubuntu if i turn max cpuid value limit ON ? [16:24] does xubuntu use the dolphin window file manager by default? [16:25] no [16:26] what does it use? [16:26] cubed_root, it uses Thunar [16:27] thanks slickymasterWork [16:27] np [18:02] 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] or you can add the places menu [18:03] applet [18:05] I know how to do it in the panel, but I would like to place the folder link in the whisker menu. [18:07] create a launcher - thunar /path/to/wherever [18:10] I'm trying, but I'm not able to make anything in the whisker menu... I'm trying with menulibre, but nothing... [18:11] works for me amigamagic [18:11] I created the launcher and placed somewhere in there, but then menulibre goes in crash [18:11] when I save the menu... [18:11] oh [18:13] menulibre crashed with AttributeError in basename(): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'rfind' [18:13] ^^this is what tells me the bug report [18:14] amigamagic, thunar ´/path/to/directory´ ? [18:14] to start I tried just with "thunar" [18:14] in the command section [18:17] but, no matter what I change, whenever I try to save my modded menu, menulibre will crash and doesn't save anything [18:20] amigamagic, thats bad... what if you try, exo-open /path/to/dir [18:23] GridCube, no matter what I do, it crash always whenever I change something (launchers, folders, anything) with menulibre [18:24] how weird. amigamagic what if you log out and log in using the guest session? does menulibre fails then? [18:25] I'm trying to add/remove whisker menu from the panel [18:25] 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] amigamagic: what version of it do you have [18:26] elfy, 1.3.2-1 [18:27] there is a test version available with some bug fixes [18:27] amigamagic: of menulibre :) [18:28] there is a binary? [18:29] amigamagic: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2014-May/010187.html [18:31] 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] nothing... logout and login doesn't solve anything [18:38] ok the new menulibre doesn't go in crash [18:39] 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] look for it in All first - or even search for it [18:40] ah, you have to search it... [18:40] so I cannot add something in the right column? [18:40] once you've found it - right click add to favourites [18:40] probably [18:40] the right column is hard coded? [18:41] you'd have to add a new directory - then move the launcher into there - but it will be in the menu [18:44] 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] then don't do it - you asked how to - I told you what you can do ;) [18:46] 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] at least, now I can mod the menu with menulibre without crash... Thanks for the bugfixes! :) [18:48] amigamagic: just looking at something [18:49] that's not going to help [18:50] amigamagic: why not put launcher on the panel? [18:50] there is an option to go inside the categories without click. It's useful! At least I can save a click! :) [18:51] oh yea - you can do that :p [18:55] amigamagic: not sure why you'd think you can do this anyway :) [18:57] 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] put launcher on the desktop :p [18:58] though I'd shudder if I did that for myself ;) [18:59] And being that I'm used to windows 7 UI and start menu I always try unconsciously to recreate its interface. [18:59] (it has download folder in the start menu :p ) [18:59] 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] I *really* don't care what any windows OS has [19:00] at all [19:01] 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] inside the "home" folder... [19:01] so that I can easily access to them with only one click (the click on the whisker menu icon) [19:02] (and of course I'm using the option to go inside a category without having to click with the mouse) [19:02] yep [19:03] frankly I'd use the places plugin on the panel - but there you go - you can choose here ;) [19:05] 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] elfy, maybe you are a little biased towards windows os? [19:11] amigamagic: that's not really a topic for here ;) [19:12] oh, that's true :P [19:21] 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] herro folks [20:11] 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] *widget [20:12] yeah, i just guess that was relevant to the hibernation/power manager issue [20:12] like there's two power managers running or something [20:13] 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] 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] hi [21:43] !hi | meek_geek [21:43] meek_geek: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!

[21:56] I want to know how to stop a daemon from auto-start on reboot === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [23:03] hello [23:04] I have a question, I hope someone can help me :( [23:05] I can't install Xubuntu 14.04. I always get an unknown error. [23:05] http://www.abload.de/img/dsc_0119fdjk6.jpg [23:05] http://www.abload.de/img/dsc_01203sj77.jpg [23:11] xubuntu717: Can't hit OK and next? [23:12] 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] because it created already the partitions [23:13] I have 2 SSD in RAID0 [23:14] maybe thats the problem? [23:17] 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?
