[00:01] hi is anyone a xubuntu 14.04 lts user? [00:02] ?anyone | xubuntu904 [00:02] !anyone | xubuntu904 [00:02] oh, this bot has different factoids, that's boring :( [00:03] xubuntu904: many questions start with "does anyone", why don't you ask your real question instead? it's fairly obvious most people in here are running xubuntu. [00:06] !ask | xubuntu904 [00:06] xubuntu904: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:08] hi mate ok well I ve grabbed the 14.04 lts and make it to be bootable via usb drive so after I restarted and boot in to xubuntu to try it out I wanted to format a partition to be compatible with xubuntu and in the Ubuntu soft center was said that the Gpared was installed but I couldnt find so Ive removed it but after I clicked to install it back the xubuntu crashed only textmode was avaible [00:10] xubuntu904: you un-installed and installed gparted in the live-system? (the system running of the usb-stick) [00:11] yes because there was no other option let me tell you I search twice for gparded soft to make sure but it wasnt there - so is that any new bug that can accor in LTS versions? [00:11] xubuntu904: gparted doesn't show up in the menus I've noticed, you can access it by running gksudo gparted in a terminal [00:13] hi azelphur thank you [00:13] have a good week [00:13] :) [00:13] xubuntu904: also you don't need to make a partition, the installer can do that for you. [00:17] ok and azelphur u think the virtual box on xubuntu is stable? Id need xp and photoshop to run [00:18] xubuntu904: virtualbox runs fine on xubuntu, Running XP is a bad idea (Have you been living under a rock?), I don't know about photoshop in a virtual machine. [00:19] well you see I would need to run the graphic program on xp for some tasks nothing serious [00:20] irrelevant, XP is abandoned and has major security vulnerabilities. [00:21] xubuntu904: there are websites that lists alternatives for windows-only-programs that you may use in linux. have you looked there? [00:22] hi yes there is inkscape and gimp but I m used to Illustrator, and PS ... so [00:23] thank you guys [00:23] anyway [00:23] see you later [00:39] why does it have to be so hard to dual boot win8 and xubuntu? [00:40] nvm figured it out.... Windows is a gigantic piece of malware.... [00:40] havenstance: hard? doesn't the installer...just do it for you [00:40] Azelphur, sure if I wanted my setup like everyone elses [00:41] xD [00:41] I want xubuntu on the Ext HDD [00:41] Windows takes over every single time [00:42] ah, if Windows is nuking your boot partition, a good tool is boot-repair [00:45] Azelphur, the problem is that once I install Xubuntu on it, I choose the Ext to boot and it only gives option for UEFI boot. If its empty windows sees it as a regular drive. [00:45] s/Windows/UEFI [00:45] I see [00:46] Don't understand it lol. Oh well, I'll keep going and eventually get it. I just wanted to gripe a bit about how im still forced to dual boot because certain game manufacturers refuse to port to linux [00:48] It might be that I need to turn off AHCI when I want to Boot to Nix, then back on for Winblows === koegs_ is now known as koegs [07:32] hi all, I'm new to xubuntu and just installed the 1404 [07:33] some days ago the lock screen worked like a charm, locking screen with ctrl+alt+canc or from the button in the main menu [07:34] now I have no lock screen, button and key binding do nothing at all [07:36] how can I check if the screensaver process is up and running? `ps faux | less` show nothing about screen and `dpkg -l | grep xfce | grep screen` shows only xfce4-screenshooter (that is not the lockscreen imho) [07:36] any help would be appreciated [07:52] gain: then you do not have xscreensaver installed [07:52] koegs: when it worked it not seemd xscreensaver [07:53] gain: light-locker is used in 1404 [07:54] and then it is "light-locker-command -l" to lock the screen [07:56] $ light-locker-command -l [07:56] ** Message: light-locker is not running [07:56] asd [07:58] launching it manually works... why the hell is not started at boot anymore? [07:59] in settings > start applications screensaver is checked... [07:59] but there's no command associated!!! [08:00] I can't edit it... where is the associated file? [08:15] there is light-locker-settings, check if it is enabled [08:28] koegs: it was not enabled... thanks [08:33] gotta go, thanks again [08:33] bye [10:03] this is a test [12:57] assuming I don't want to use Crouton, what's the recommended way to install xubuntu 14.04 on a samsung arm chromebook? (1st gen, in case the 2nd gen's out anywhere yet) [13:03] hrmm. Given the images that are/aren't available, I assume it amounts to "whatever you're supposed to do for mainline ubuntu and then install xubuntu from your package manager of choice" [13:04] I love the feature in XFCE where you can tile windows to left and right with keyboard shortcuts, but is there any way to tile windows into corners? I.e. show four windows on a screen, one in each corner. [13:09] hey does somebody know why i cant run a xscreensaver as a desktop wallpaper by doing savername -root [13:10] i killed the xfdesktop it still wont show [14:23] Probably a really dumb question but I just install Xubuntu 14.04 and I saw an image of a desktop from 13.10 I believe: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JoWhpj9zET4/UrTUqFeK0BI/AAAAAAAAB_c/ZvrvSa2HoRo/s1600/desktopwithmenu.png [14:24] I really want to make a application panel like the one at the bottom of that image, so I attempted it and it came out like: http://i.imgur.com/y3UqtH2.jpg [14:24] How can I go about getting it like the 13.10 one? [14:26] you have to put a space with automatic size on the left and right side [14:26] aliensbrah: === bezet is now known as x6c756c7a [14:27] Okay koegs, the other thing I couldn't figure out though is the opacity, when I change the opacity of the bar it makes the icons see through as well as the bar, I want them to be solid like in that screenshot === x6c756c7a is now known as bezet [14:29] koegs, oh derp, I just needed to change the Alpha setting, not opacity - I appreciate the help :) [14:29] aliensbrah: yep :) [14:29] how do i upgrade to the latest version by terminal? [14:29] sudo do-release-upgrade -c [14:29] ty [14:31] i mean for xubuntu not ubuntu [14:31] xubuntu526 same same command [14:31] k [14:45] Hi all, I have trouble with message indicator in notification area.. simply it doesn't work (desn't show me when I recieved mail or pidgin, doesn't indicates new article from liferea..) any advices can be helpful, thx (xubuntu 14.04) [14:55] do you have pidgin-indicator installed z4nD4R¿ once installed do you have the plugin enabled¿ [14:56] xangua: no and I can't find it in standart repo [14:56] xangua: but I can place my pidgin icon on panel [14:57] !info pidgin-indicator [14:57] Package pidgin-indicator does not exist in trusty [14:58] xangua: I have to go.. maybe latter.. (I hope so) [14:59] sorry is pidgin-libnotify [14:59] !info pidgin-libnotify [14:59] pidgin-libnotify (source: pidgin-libnotify): display notification bubbles in pidgin. In component main, is optional. Version 0.14-9ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 16 kB, installed size 104 kB [14:59] Alright - another stupid question. It seems that the default terminal in xubuntu 14.04 can't have transparency settings? [15:00] pidgin>preferences>interface>show system tray icon has 3 options, if that's what you're looking for (came into channel late :) [15:00] aliensbrah: it does have transparency [15:00] aliensbrah: you just need to enable the composer [15:00] aliensbrah: in the last tab of window manager tweaks [15:00] I have compositing enabled in Window manager tweaks [15:01] Argh [15:01] then in second tab of the terminal settings, "Appearance", you can select transparent background and transparency levels [15:01] Right after I ask a question I find what I'm looking for [15:01] Yeah, thanks TheSheep - in a few of the posts I found online people said it was in the colors tab so I kept looking there [15:09] anyone here use the compton composer? I use it to solve screen tearing issues and I can't understand why it's not the default [15:29] hi [15:30] network connections is not working in xubuntu 14.04 [15:30] wired and wireless connections [15:30] someone help me [15:57] hi [15:58] !hi | xubuntu259 [15:58] xubuntu259: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu!

[16:39] the key ´ is working like any other regular letter key, instantly typing. [16:39] * ElderDryas assumes you're both using the same key strokes? [16:40] do you, by any chance, have the Use system defaults option ticked in the Layout tab of the Keyboard dialog xubuntu313 [16:40] * slickymasterWork also assumes it ElderDryas [16:40] yes I do [16:40] I tried that [16:40] logged off [16:40] if you have xubuntu313, untick it [16:40] and didn't fix [16:40] done.

[16:49] before that xubuntu053, let us try something [16:50] xubuntu053: hit AltGr+; the E [16:51] xubuntu053: it should produce é [16:51] that's [AltGr]+[;] then [E] [16:51] € [16:51] ×¢ [16:52] ?! [16:52] altgr + e = € [16:53] altgr + ; + e = € as well [16:53] xubuntu053: I confess I ran out of ideas [16:53] it's okay [16:54] xubuntu053: I'll leave these links though [16:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey#Xubuntu_with_XFCE [16:54] http://duncanlock.net/blog/2013/05/03/how-to-set-your-compose-key-on-xfce-xubuntu-linux/ [16:54] xubuntu053: boa sorte ;) [16:54] vou maze instalar kde e ver se fica bom [16:54] isto eh so pc para programar, por isso, deixo sempre aqui no trabalho.. [16:55] mas obrigado slickymasterWork ! [16:55] ok, good luck [16:55] hasta [17:37] So I made a panel with a bunch of launchers, and when located at the top of the screen, windows won't maximize over/under it: http://i.imgur.com/5EzUBuKl.jpg [17:38] I want it on the left side vertically, but then when I maximize windows they go underneath of it, does anyone know how to fix this: http://i.imgur.com/XQUrsiss.jpg [17:38] oops second screenshot didn't work, sec [17:41] This is how I created the panel, up top and limiting windows that maximize: http://i.imgur.com/LBsBhHw.png [17:41] I'd like it on the left side but as you can see things maximize under it: http://i.imgur.com/jNbweQJ.png [17:43] Hello [17:43] can someone help me here ? [17:44] no, unless you explain your problem and then if someone knows the answer, they will tell you [17:44] ok, then here my problem === MTwister is now known as ManiacTwister [17:44] actually my login screen isn't at the right scale [17:45] but when i log in it go back to normal [17:45] how do i change the login screen resolution ? [17:45] because it's alway lower than normal [17:46] and here i am not talking about grub [17:46] just the xubuntu login screen [17:46] (note it only happen when i change my graphic card driver) [17:47] going to X xorg to Nvidia [17:52] so someone got an idea ? [17:52] :/ [17:53] atsukisama: I have noticed that (on my machine/screen) that the nvidia driver default resolution appears to be be 120dpi (see nvidia x-server settings), while the normal nouveau (?) resolution appears to be 96 dpi. I only guessing, but I'd say that the nvidia 120dpi is replaced by the 96dpi settings once you log in. [17:55] mmm [17:55] See Apearence>Fonts>DPI (usually 96dpi) [17:55] i am going to check that out [17:55] however i quite don't understand why would my resolution only be fixed when i log in [17:56] becasue the nvidia driver (120dpi) is active before you login, then the settings in Apearence>Fonts>DPI tyake over...this is all a guess remember. [17:57] Based on what I see on my machine. [17:57] oh i see mmm [17:57] well i' try to change the parameter [17:57] i'll* [17:58] thx for the help [17:58] If you cahnge the DPI, you probably need to change the font size also (I did) [17:59] ah well i guess i'll see when i'll face those parameter [18:00] however at first i though it might be lightgm problem [18:00] and it could be that too, I don't use it (auto login, and turned off) [18:00] ahah lol [18:01] well i tried to fix lightgm however nothing changed [18:01] i set my screen resolution for it but well [18:01] look like he don't care or it just might not be that [18:02] Ok, I'll refund your deposit...but only in store credit :) [18:02] good luck, lol [19:33] hi guys Im currently selecting the partttion to use it as root for booting the xubuntu but I dont know what the options like : use it as ext4 journal system or psychisal volume partion means [19:34] Hi all, I have trouble with message indicator in notification area.. simply it doesn't work (desn't show me when I recieved mail or pidgin, doesn't indicates new article from liferea..) any advices can be helpful, thx (xubuntu 14.04) [19:35] xubuntu572 : will you use dual boot with windows ? [19:36] atsukisama: no only xubuntu [19:38] xubuntu572: choose ext4 and then install the root partition on it [19:38] xubuntu572: at mount point choose / [19:39] do not forget to select format parition [19:39] partition* [19:41] atsukisama: hi ok but which option to choose for USE AS, in the edit partion menu http://imgupload.sk/viewer.php?file=o2lzezbphk0vv2jlcb4w.png [19:43] xubuntu572: check "Format the Partition" & don't write "/root" just "/" [19:45] atsukisama: so the option psysical volume encryption is ok? or I need ext4 journal system file [19:46] xubuntu572: ext4 journal system file is all you need [19:46] atsukisama: ok have a good week [19:47] xubuntu572: good luck and have a good week too [20:09] Yo all [20:09] Can anyone suggest a way to get the old indicator back? The new indicator applet is just terrible, as now one can't even pick which to show and which not, as all of them are put under "Application Indicators" within the indicator and if I tick to hide them, none of them display anymore in the notification area plugin. [20:30] Hi all, I have trouble with message indicator in notification area.. simply it doesn't work (desn't show me when I recieved mail or pidgin, doesn't indicates new article from liferea..) any advices can be helpful, thx (xubuntu 14.04) [20:48] Hello? Can someone help? [21:00] Anyone? :) [21:03] z4nD4R: I did something about liferea not working with indicator-messages - not just in Xubuntu, can't find that now though [21:04] there does appear to be an issue with it and thunderbird too - not able to pin that down [21:13] elfy: so result is.. it simply doesn't work/ [21:15] atm - I'm not sure about pidgin to be honest [21:15] is this a new install or upgrade? [21:18] elfy: new [21:22] does someone installed nvidia driver with xubuntu ? [21:22] atsukisama: jop me [21:23] z4nD4R: can you tell me if you have login screen resolution issue ? [21:24] atsukisama: no .. Even when I use 2 monitor.. there is no issue with login screen resolution.. some blicking.. after login.. (when I have 2 monitor) but no problem.. have you tried if nvidia driver is installed rightly? [21:25] atsukisama: what issue? i have nvidia and login screen [21:25] z4nD4R: i do believe that my driver installation is ok, however my login screen resolution is low [21:26] login screen resolution is lower than normal, however after login it go back to normal resolution [21:26] atsukisama: I believe != it is :) try glxinfo | grep vend [21:28] server/client/Open GL all are NVIDIA [21:28] atsukisama: so it looks like issue with lightgdm [21:29] guessed so too [21:29] however [21:29] i creater a script [21:29] but look like it's not working either [21:29] :/ [21:30] what's the idea of that script? [21:30] atsukisama: there really is no "normal" [21:30] atsukisama: are you able to login? if so, thats really all i require of my login screen.. the resolution is likely different [21:32] z4nD4R: the idea of the screen is to apply a certain resolution for a certain screen [21:33] atsukisama: throug xrandr? [21:33] holstein: well i can actually log in (thanks god, since it's not a off range resolution) but it buzz me off to see that this login screen resolution isn't right [21:34] atsukisama: don't you have nvidia with optimus technology, do you? [21:34] z4nDAR: yup, with xrandr "xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x900" [21:35] atsukisama: and it doesn't help? .. when do you started it/ [21:36] atsukisama: sure.. but, whats "right"? [21:36] z4nD4R: mmm i have a NVIDIA GT 630M (laptop) [21:37] atsukisama: another question.. are you sure you have wrong resolution or wrong DPI... 'cause DPI you can change in conf files [21:37] atsukisama: there really is no "correct".. or "right".. its just whatever you want to configure it to be.. i typically just login, and set my desktop resolution, and move on.. is that not acceptable? [21:37] holstein: my 800x600 login screen on a 1600x900 screen XD [21:37] atsukisama: sure.. and thats not "wrong" [21:37] atsukisama: they are just different.. is that not acceptable? [21:38] holstein: well sure it's acceptable i guess but i still want to see if i can get the 1600x900 resolution on the login screen [21:38] atsukisama: just set it [21:38] holstein: yeah, but how ? [21:38] atsukisama: http://askubuntu.com/questions/320518/change-login-resolution-in-xubuntu-13-04 suggests the lightdm.conf.. thats where i would start [21:38] /etc/init/lightdm.conf [21:39] atsukisama: set it as you please.. if its not configured, its just running as default, which is not incorrect in any way, just different from your desktop resolution [21:39] holstein: could you tell me the exact step ? [21:40] as i am seeing 2 lightdm different [21:40] Changing the init? [21:40] atsukisama: i would just open the file, and edit, according to the info i found at that link [21:41] atsukisama: i would use the particular file that i referenced, at least to start.. have you tried? [21:41] atsukisama: i have no done this.. i literally put my password in and hit enter and get to work.. didnt even notice/care that it was different [21:41] holstein: I have tried the files in that directory /etc/lightdm/ [21:42] atsukisama: http://askubuntu.com/questions/73804/wrong-login-screen-resolution [21:42] atsukisama: youll need to find lightdm.conf, to make some changes [21:44] I've just installed xubuntu for the first time and the is a problem with the wifi. It drops the connection after around 2 minutes, initally it is very fast but then it disonnects completely. I'm not very experienced with linux, please can someone help. [21:45] holstein: lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf ? or lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf ? [21:45] I'm affraid.. there is no resulution option.. only dpi [21:46] z4nD4R: sigh :/ [21:46] well i'll try to make it work out and i'll see [21:47] atsukisama: the link i gave states a specific file, and how to edit [21:47] http://askubuntu.com/questions/73804/wrong-login-screen-resolution [21:47] holstein: i would love to have the same file, trust me :/ [21:47] just keep track of the defaults, no how to edit with a live CD or from tty if something breaks, and experiment [21:47] atsukisama: add the file [21:48] atsukisama: just put one there, as stated [21:49] holstein: well then i shall create the lightdm.conf file and see how it will work out [21:50] atsukisama: i assume you have already referred to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/lightdm.1.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM but there they are.. [21:52] holstein: only that file is missing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [21:53] however i do believe that they are" remplaced by lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf & lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu.conf [21:53] atsukisama: ok.. [21:53] atsukisama: confirm that, by reading some documentation, or, experimenting.. or, just put that file in place.. [21:53] the only thing i didn't tried is to put the file in place [21:53] The problem is something to do with authentication, as it requests me to retype my password. Does anyone know what May 22 22:48:53 Rick-LAPTOP NetworkManager[787]: Connection disconnected (reason -4) is? [21:54] full log: http://pastebin.com/qxexkdpx [21:54] atsukisama: yeah? [21:54] Btw anyone? -> Trouble with message indicator in notification area.. simply it doesn't work (desn't show me when I recieved mail or pidgin, doesn't indicates new article from liferea..) any advices can be helpful, thx (xubuntu 14.04) [21:55] z4nD4R: sorry i never tried those option i am kind of new on Ubuntu/Xubuntu [21:56] atsukisama: ;)
