[02:43] Hi. Can I ask a really quick and kind of stupid question? [02:43] yup [02:44] What do you call the gui file manager in xfce? [02:44] I've been in Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and now Xubuntu [02:45] thunar [02:45] Theirs are dolphin and nautilus [02:45] yup, in xfce it's thunar [02:46] Ah, thunar! Thanks! :) [03:01] hello, would anyone happen to know how to customise the login-screen of xubuntu 14.04 ? [03:02] one sec [03:02] okay. [03:03] /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf [03:03] Yes, I did try that [03:03] But only certain changes are accepted. [03:03] What are you trying to change? [03:03] the theme [03:04] I can change font size, but not the theme [03:04] And you're editing the file with root privilege? [03:04] Yes [03:04] Are you putting your themes in /usr/share/themes? [03:04] I'll check... [03:06] yep [03:06] They are there [03:06] Then it must depend on the theme [03:06] Font size changes are accepted [03:06] Okay [03:07] I tried NOX and darklooks, but neither works... [03:08] link me, so that I can see them. [03:08] Sorry, bit of beginner, how does one link? [03:09] I just wanted you to copy and paste me a link [03:09] is it this? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ECSTATiCA+(formerly+NOX)?content=105349 [03:10] yes [03:11] it only has gtk-2.0 in it's folder. [03:11] I dunno if lightdm uses that. [03:11] The default theme, Greybird has other schemes. [03:12] Okay. Other schemes? How do I specify those? [03:12] I would try Adwaita, just to see if the theme changes. If it does, Then you'll know that you need a theme that has a scheme that lightdm can use. [03:12] in the conf file [03:12] You don't specify the scheme. The theme folder has to have it. [03:12] okay. I'll test it [03:13] I think lightdm might be gtk-3 now [03:13] Nox, doesn't have a scheme folder for that. [03:13] Chances are, the other theme you're testing won't either. [03:22] wb [03:22] So, what happened? [03:22] It worked! [03:22] Told ya [03:22] So why exactly? [03:22] gtk 2 vs. gtk 3 ? [03:22] again, I don't think lightdm uses gtk-2 [03:22] And Nox only has that folder in it's theme folder [03:23] I see. [03:23] Greybird and Adwaita have gtk-3 and other schemes. [03:23] So, you'll have to experiment some. [03:23] Okay, so they are compatible with lightdm. [03:23] yup [03:23] After all, greybird is the default theme [03:23] True. [03:24] I would have to play with it myself, to be sure. [03:24] I dunno if it's a gtk-3 thing, or metacity, or what..... [03:24] Another question - can one change the language of the login? For a French system it still says 'log on". No big deal, just, well not français... [03:24] I just know that Nox won't work for lightdm [03:25] Okay no nox. Such a nice theme though... [03:25] I like Darklooks too. [03:25] Link me for darklooks [03:26] https://www.google.ca/search?q=darklooks+theme&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=2nl5U9f5I4ynyASX-YCoAQ&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=688 [03:31] I found it [03:31] It's part of gnome extra themes [03:32] does that mean it won't work with lightdm? [03:32] are you savvy with screenshots and image paste websites. [03:32] With instructions.... [03:32] I'd like to see the folder contents of Darklooks. [03:32] wait... lemme just install the package. [03:32] Okay. [03:33] What OS are you using? [03:34] xubuntu [03:34] I'm getting the package now. [03:34] Okay. I didn't come pre-installed? [03:34] *It [03:35] nope [03:36] hmm [03:36] what release? [03:36] 14.04 [03:36] btw, Darklooks only has a gtk-2 folder. [03:36] Not lightdm compatible. [03:36] Okay. [03:37] You could Always try MediterraneanDarkest. [03:37] Hmm. I'll take a look [03:38] Not pre-installed... [03:38] Nope. [03:38] Where did you grab Darklooks from? [03:38] Gotta get it from gnome looks [03:38] sudo apt-get ? [03:39] http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=156782 [03:44] sudo extract the tar to themes? [03:45] I suppose you could do that. [03:46] I usually open the tar in archive manager and pick and choose. [03:46] Less to go wrong. [03:47] But doesn't the theme need to be under usr/share/themes/ to be used? [03:53] Thanks for your help! Bye. [03:54] heh, guess he got it === ratskinmahoney is now known as ratskin [07:53] Hiyas all, [07:55] since i upgraded 2 trusty tahr my logout window has changed. a new button occured for a sleep or standby mode (my desktop is german) but neither of the 2 buttons work. Does anyone have experienced this too? [09:10] Hello , question: Is it a common issue that the LAN connection sometimes works and sometimes not? [10:04] Hi! I have some warnings and errors in the dmesg output could someone help me??? [10:04] this is the output of my dmesg [10:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7487790/ [10:37] It is interesting that I have /usr/bin/X11/xflock4 and /usr/bin/xflock4, they are identical but not symlinked. Is that intentional? [11:44] And what do I use to lock an xfce screen with lightdm? light-locker exists, but not in Ubuntu repos. [11:45] gry: it does, from 14.04 onwards [11:45] Okay, thanks. [11:45] np [11:45] I'm on 12.04 now, so I will try to update. [11:45] gry: FYI, xubuntu uses it by default in 14.04 ;) [12:14] bookman, HI [12:16] hi) [12:18] sup bookman === bezet is now known as the_bz === the_bz is now known as bezet [14:05] Hi there. When pressing backspace in thunar it goes to previous location. I’d like it to go to parent location. Where can I change this behaviour ? [14:23] Found ! :) http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/23998/how-to-set-up-backspace-to-go-up-instead-of-back-in-thunar [15:27] herro room [15:27] I sadly woke up to a kernel panic screen this morning :( [15:27] I didn't update kernel yesterday or anything though. strange. [15:28] that haapens each boot? [15:28] happens* [15:29] first time it has ever happened. [15:29] with linux. never once woke up to an error. [15:29] I'll just see if it happens again. probably won.t [15:29] it mentioned hdmi and intel. I do use hdmi [16:04] My PlayStation 2 gamepad USB adapter seems to have mapped the controls to move my mouse cursor among other things, and I don't know what's doing this to unbind it. [16:05] I'm pretty sure I didn't install anything for that. no search results in installed packages for gamepad or joystick [16:06] It didn't do this in my Debian installation. [16:06] !info joystick [16:06] joystick (source: joystick): set of testing and calibration tools for joysticks. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:1.4.7-1 (trusty), package size 36 kB, installed size 157 kB [16:07] I installed something called jstest-gtk which does calibration and remapping, but it just has the controls mapped to like "AXIS_X" or something. [16:08] ABS_X [16:09] and the buttons are just BTN_THUMB , but when I press them I get like pasting from my clipboard or mouse double-clicking. so it's being remapped somewhere else. [16:13] hm... I seem to have joystick package installed. ... where do I find the device name that it needs? [16:13] try lsusb [16:14] ah, thanks. [16:16] hm... I found it, but it's not taking the "005" as a device even though that's the device. [16:16] Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0810:0001 Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Dual PSX Adaptor [16:17] jscal -t 005 just gets me jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory [16:18] hm. man page says it wants [16:19] jscal Personal Communication Systems, Inc. Dual PSX Adaptor [16:19] 0810:0001 <---- what about that [16:19] gets me "jscal: missing device name" [16:19] nope. no such file or directory [16:22] oh man I found a webpage while saerching for a settings file that has a section "Disable Joystick From Controlling Mouse" [16:23] Twin USB Joystick <--- what about that [16:24] hm but I don't have an xorg.conf.d folder... [16:24] nope, bazhang. missing device name. [16:25] thats odd [16:27] hm. another page mentioned a /dev/input/js0 [16:28] got it. jscal /dev/input/js0 [16:37] hm.... I'm a little lost now. calibration hasn't changed anything. [16:38] this webppage I found talks about that /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder that I don't have. [16:39] in a later section it says "make sure you have xf86-input-joystick installed" but Xubuntu doesn't have that in the package manager. [16:39] well it is a page for arch linux... but it was talking about XFCE so I thought maybe... [16:40] you might try qjoypad as well [16:40] http://linuxaria.com/article/how-to-use-a-playstation-2-joypad-with-linux [16:41] !info qjoypad [16:41] qjoypad (source: qjoypad): Configuration tool for joypads. In component universe, is extra. Version 4.1.0-0ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 82 kB, installed size 241 kB [16:41] Hm. [16:41] nice gui on that [16:43] I don't think any of these programs are going to work, as the mapping to the mouse cursor is happening in spite of them. [16:43] I gotta find a settings file somewhere. [16:43] I'd not give up quite so easily [16:44] I spent a good deal of time setting one up, and once it was done, played a *tonne* of games with it [16:45] hm. looks like qjoypad won't run without a restart [16:45] Debian doesn't have this problem, but Debian's out of date with the emulator (among other things} and so getting the emulator running is my problem over there. [16:48] cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives Handlers=event15 js1 and I bet event15 is the problem. [16:49] oh wait, event14 for js0. event15 is for js1 [16:57] brb. gonna restart. [17:07] "Uninstall xserver-xorg-input-joystick. It's a package to control the mouse with the joystick. " [17:07] hm. now the gamepad's not working at all. [17:08] I don't know why the light on the adapter wouldn't turn on though when I plug it in. [17:09] hm. lsusb still lists the device. [17:09] oh there's the light [17:13] well, it's working under the emulator. I guess uninstalling that one package was all I needed. [17:13] thanks for bearing with me and trying to find the solution. [17:17] via qjoypad? [17:17] augh he quit [17:28] Can Ubuntu be ran off aa netbook with a 1GB of ram? [17:29] Kekai: this is the Xubuntu support channel, and Xubuntu can [17:29] Kekai: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/requirements/ [17:31] I have Xubuntu I wanted to try Ubuntu Through terminal then delete using the Pure XCFE website [17:31] Kekai: i dont think it will run well, but thats my opinion [17:32] This is why I cant wait for autumn [17:33] Kekai: you should really ask in #ubuntu [17:33] not here :) [17:35] Kekai: what happens in autmn? [17:35] I posted to offtopic [17:37] Kekai, here is fine, as is #ubuntu , but with that minimal amount of ram, you really might try lubuntu [17:37] lubuntu-desktop for the full suite, install, then logout, select at login [17:38] I been using Xubuntu just fine [17:38] ok [17:38] SInce november I been using 13.10 [17:38] then upgraded fine to 1404 without problems [17:38] my PC seems to run cooler in 14.04 lts [17:39] you can certainly try ubuntu, but I think it would be very slow [17:39] its only till autumn till I get my 12GB ram, 1TB laptop [17:39] that will run anything [17:39] Then I dual boot either Ubuntu and windows [17:39] or Xubuntu/Windows [17:40] Maybe the later because I dont like the look the launcher in Ubuntu [17:40] so use gnome-shell , not unity [18:08] xubuntu, plz help [18:08] I installed gparted and formatted an external drive to btfs but now i cant write to it [19:24] Slesa, hi === ponbiki_ is now known as ponbiki [20:02] Hello [20:03] i have one question, i'm in windows 8, i burned XUBUNTU 14 in a DVD, and when i restart the system pressing F12 to BOOT DVD nothing happen [20:03] whats wrong? [20:29] Yo, came to ask, anything gonna happen with the screensaver turning off sound when it locks the screen? Really annoying.... [20:30] Inoki: did you report a bug? [20:30] Inoki: if no then no, nothing is goign to happen [20:30] TheSheep: nope, but guess I'll have to. Do you know, is it safe to simply do a sudo apt-get purge light-locker && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver? [20:31] Inoki: no idea, I didn't upgrade yet myself [20:32] TheSheep: Technically, on Webupd8 they mentioned that those running GNOME can simply try out light-locker by installing it and removing it simply returns to GNOME screensaver. [20:38] Anybody here with experience on how to get GNOME screen saver running under Xubuntu? [20:38] Or does a simple install do the trick. [20:38] just install it and enable in the sessions and startup in settings [20:39] Ok, coz I really think adding a development release (light-locker) to a stable branch was a mistake. Thanks. [20:45] Inoki does your cursor/kb lockup at startup/reboot? [20:46] starrats: nope. [20:46] ah ok [21:57] My network Manager is gone and I cant connect to the internet. [22:02] Please help [22:03] Kekai, please remember to keep patient; we're all volunteers here. you can search in ubuntu forums, askubuntu etc while you wait [23:42] i'm plagued by a bug in 14.04 where when i close my screen, the laptop never recovers.. its listed as critical and the fix seems to be working for some... once a proper fix is found, what happens? will the updates magically fix this? [23:44] hi
