| cubed_root | is the indicator plugin broken in 14? the preference panel has an interface to allow for hiding or showing indicators, but they're not editable on my laptop | 00:35 |
| ochosi | cubed_root: yeah, there is a visual bug with that. i think you can click one indicator and then restart the panel and it *should* work... | 00:36 |
| ochosi | xfce4-panel --restart | 00:36 |
| cubed_root | sweet -- thanks | 00:36 |
| ochosi | np | 00:37 |
| cubed_root | that did it! | 00:37 |
| cubed_root | is there a cli command behind every app in the app launcher/menu? | 03:23 |
| holstein | cubed_root: maybe not a single command in any way | 03:37 |
| holstein | maybe more.. or a script.. or something else.. | 03:38 |

| odroid | hi all how are things | 06:54 |
| odroid | anyone here able to help me with a few things. | 06:54 |
| bekks | You have to state your problem first. | 06:54 |
| odroid | brought an odroid computer. comes with xubuntu as default os. | 06:54 |
| odroid | i am plugged into my led tv atm | 06:55 |
| bekks | And whats your question? | 06:55 |
| odroid | how to make menus, fonts icons bigger to read on other side of room | 06:55 |
| odroid | i have set resolution to 1080p and the font sizes etc seem to be to small you hve to be sitting to coose to the tv | 06:56 |
| odroid | *close | 06:56 |
| odroid | bekks, you got some idea | 06:57 |
| bekks | In the settings, you can adjust that, I guess. | 07:00 |
| odroid | bekks, the >settings>window-manager proces is taking to long how to kill it. | 07:14 |
| bekks | odroid: How long did you wait? | 07:14 |
| odroid | 10-15 mins | 07:15 |
| odroid | not usual for quad core, 2gb ram is it | 07:15 |
| odroid | any ideas | 07:21 |
| bekks | Just use "xkill" to kill it. | 07:21 |
| odroid | bekkx they will kill the xsession | 07:23 |
| bekks | Thats expected when your xsession just diead. | 07:27 |
| james0r2 | chromium doesn't seem to play nicely with the Greybird theme. like this for others? | 07:48 |

| xubuntu054 | I would like to know how to resize my screan resolution | 11:02 |
| xubuntu054 | i guess on board gpu driver its not installed | 11:03 |
| xubuntu054 | I just reborned an old celeron notebook and installed xubuntu | 11:04 |
| xubuntu146 | i need help about bootable usb | 11:49 |
| xubuntu146 | i cant make a bootable usb drive. tried to universal usb installer it take an error message " an error occurred while executing syslinux" | 11:55 |
| cubed_root | how can i find the cli command behind an app in the app/launch menu? | 12:49 |
| brainwash | cubed_root: right click the menu button in the panel and select "edit menu", this should open the menu editor which displays the commands to start the applications | 13:01 |
| ElderDryas | cubed_root: If all else fails, you can always go to /usr/share/applications, open the .desktop file with a text editor and see what it says on the "Exec=" line. There might be a much easier way, but I've never bothered to find out :) | 13:01 |
| ElderDryas | and what brainwash said.... | 13:01 |
| brainwash | in 14.04 it looks like this http://i0.wp.com/smdavis.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Greybird_menulibre.png | 13:02 |
| * ElderDryas never had much luck with alacart and keeps forgetting that they have menulibre now :) | 13:02 | |
| ElderDryas | kudos to whomever did the heavy lifting on that. | 13:06 |
| brainwash | bluesabre is the developer of menulibre | 13:07 |

| EightThree | Hi | 16:12 |
| drc | hello | 16:12 |
| EightThree | auto login lightdm.conf is where? | 16:12 |
| EightThree | usually /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 16:13 |
| EightThree | i just wanna set auto login | 16:13 |
| EightThree | brb... ty all | 16:14 |
| drc | on my system (14.04) it looks like it is in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | 16:14 |
| EightThree | really? | 16:18 |
| EightThree | i don't have it, kinda weird | 16:18 |
| EightThree | this fresh install off ubuntu net disk | 16:19 |
| drc | You don't have the autologin stuff or the file? | 16:19 |
| EightThree | let me google | 16:19 |
| EightThree | nope | 16:19 |
| drc | nope? which nope? | 16:19 |
| * elfy is pretty positive it's all been changed :) | 16:19 | |
| EightThree | file | 16:19 |
| elfy | drc: is your's an upgrade? | 16:19 |
| drc | elfy, no freah install about 3 hours ago :) | 16:20 |
| drc | s/freah/fresh/ | 16:20 |
| drc | I did, however to the autologin on install. | 16:20 |
| elfy | drc: ok - and it added the stanza in that file? | 16:21 |
| drc | looks like | 16:21 |
| elfy | I've been trying to get my head around this for months lol | 16:21 |
| elfy | I've seen some people talk about adding it there - others say build a file in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ | 16:22 |
| elfy | anyway - this isn't helping EightThree - so I'll wander off | 16:22 |
| EightThree | i see now. | 16:23 |
| EightThree | /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults --autologin username | 16:23 |
| EightThree | :) | 16:23 |
| elfy | shouldn't work - deprecated | 16:23 |
| woof-woof | The thumbnail stops after some time here... Any way to bring it back? | 16:23 |
| EightThree | ahh elfy u right | 16:24 |
| elfy | wish I wasn't :) | 16:24 |
| EightThree | i'm jus a noob learning | 16:24 |
| EightThree | i love auto-login, i gotta have it | 16:24 |
| EightThree | lol | 16:24 |
| drc | EightThree: Here's what I have in my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file http://pastebin.com/J1uHt20L | 16:25 |
| elfy | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1307102/comments/4 | 16:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1307102 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Unable to set autologin" [Low,Invalid] | 16:25 |
| EightThree | ok i think i know now | 16:26 |
| EightThree | /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/10-xubuntu.conf | 16:26 |
| EightThree | and just add a line | 16:26 |
| EightThree | gonna try it | 16:26 |
| EightThree | autologin-user=username | 16:27 |
| drc | EightThree: I have nothing autologin related in any of the files in /etc/lightdm except for lightdm.conf. Try creating the file and copying what I pastbined and see if that works. | 16:30 |
| woof-woof | The thumbnail stops after some time here... Any way to bring it back? | 16:35 |
| drc | what thumbnail? | 16:35 |
| woof-woof | example: you have a image file on desktop, you can see the image content as its icon.. | 16:38 |
| woof-woof | but this functionality stops/crashes and it didn't work after some time or thing happens... | 16:38 |
| drc | and if you login/reboot it works (until it stops again)? | 16:39 |
| woof-woof | Yes. | 16:40 |
| woof-woof | Then after some time it doesn't work anymore and when I press F5 to update the images have just the standard icon (thumbnail stopped). | 16:41 |
| drc | No idea :( The only thing I can think of is to <rename> ~/.thumbnails, logout/in and see if it still happens. | 16:42 |
| woof-woof | The thumbnail system will always crash after some time.... I guess it is a bug. | 16:44 |
| woof-woof | I just don't know what makes it crash/stop. | 16:44 |
| woof-woof | I'm using 13.10.. Do you know if it is fixed in 14.04? | 16:45 |
| drc | If you're sure, file it ( http://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa/#filing ) | 16:45 |
| drc | Don't use desktop icons/thumbnails...maybe some one else? | 16:45 |
| woof-woof | I have no problem with icons... just the thumbnail of multimedia files (image/video/etc) | 16:46 |
| drc | you could search thru here to see if anyone else has reported it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=thumbnails&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.ha | 16:47 |

| drc | wow :) | 16:48 |
| drc | http://tinyurl.com/ou33gh5 | 16:48 |
| woof-woof | It is not critical to me.. | 16:49 |
| drc | ok | 16:49 |
| cubed_root | how can i find the cli command behind an app in the app/launch menu? | 16:50 |
| woof-woof | I thought about disabling this feature forever as it uses a lot of space to store the thumbnails (space is critical here)... But I couldn't find a way to do it.. | 16:50 |
| drc | cubed_root: didn't either of the two methods told to you earlier work? | 16:51 |
| starrats | good afternoon everyone | 16:51 |
| drc | woof-woof: Settings>Desktop unclick show thumbnails. | 16:52 |
| woof-woof | cubed_root: /usr/share/applications/ | 16:52 |
| drc | woof-woof: Settings>Desktop>Icons Sorry | 16:52 |
| woof-woof | cubed_root: open the files in text editor, you'll find the command | 16:53 |
| cubed_root | thanks woof-woof | 16:53 |
| woof-woof | Thank you, drc! | 16:53 |
| woof-woof | I found it! | 16:54 |
| * drc thought that's what he told cubed_root a while ago? | 16:54 | |
| * woof-woof wasn't here at that time. | 16:56 | |
| drc | wasn't aimed at you woof-woof , at cubed_root :) | 16:56 |
| drc | oh, I was under a different nick :) | 16:57 |
| woof-woof | I know, I just didn't know that was asked before. | 16:57 |
| cubed_root | drc - you're right -- i didn't realize i had asked (because i was able to step out) thanks brainwash and ElderDryas | 17:05 |
| drc | cubed_root: np...if you want to make changes to the .desktop, I'd copy it/them to ~/.local.applications and make the changes there. That way you don't mess up the original (and don't have to sudo :) | 17:07 |
| drc | ~/local/applications. that is. | 17:07 |
| cubed_root | yea, cool stuff. this app-menu customizatioin is all new to me, although right now i just need the command that was being used for an application that wasn't starting for me | 17:08 |
| cubed_root | now that i have it i can see the error it's throwing -- progress | 17:09 |
| cubed_root | but the app menu stuff is cool -- i will definitely move stuff around in there | 17:09 |
| drc | yeah, like I said (as ElderDryas), I keep forgetting about the new menu editor. | 17:10 |
| cubed_root | yea it's pretty slick | 17:11 |
| drc | All hail bluesabre! | 17:11 |
| cubed_root | is that the developer? | 17:13 |
| drc | yes | 17:13 |
| cubed_root | cool, well done bluesabre | 17:13 |
| drc | The reason I keep forgetting about it is I have my ~/local/applications folder archived and when I have an install I just drop it in place. | 17:16 |
| drc | bbl | 17:17 |
| bluesabre | yay me? :) | 18:55 |

| Azelphur | delt: why not buy one that is supported? | 19:43 |
| Azelphur | there are cheaper ones on ebay that work ootb | 19:43 |

| Guido1 | Hello, i need a quick data recovery. (easy and quick). I ahde a file "media.odt" in e specific folder on a partition. I moved the file to a different partition. on the new partition it got corrupted. so i would like to find it on the old location. | 19:50 |
| Azelphur | I hope you aren't using the machine the file is on, because if you are it could be overwritten at any time | 19:51 |
| Azelphur | first thing is to make sure that partition is unmounted | 19:51 |
| abortx | Hi | 19:52 |
| drc | abortx: hello | 19:52 |
| ochosi | !hi | 19:52 |
| ubottu | Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 19:52 |
| Guido1 | Azelphur: it's connected to the computer, but i do no changes to the partition | 19:52 |
| Guido1 | Azelphur: okee, it's unmonted | 19:53 |
| Azelphur | Guido1: righto, besides that I've never done it so don't know, but figured I'd give you that information first, remember that any writes are bad (even logs and things like that) so best to have it unmounted till you have a plan of action. | 19:53 |
| abortx | I use Xubuntu 14.04 fresh install. Since my last updates Indicator Plugin keeps crashing. It seems to do with the application menu being added to indicator plugin (someyimes i see it just before it crashes) | 19:53 |
| ochosi | abortx: yeah, that one isn't supported and it's known to not work well | 19:53 |
| abortx | thanks ochosi and ubotto | 19:53 |
| ochosi | so removing it is the solution to your problem | 19:54 |
| abortx | the indicator plugin you mean? | 19:54 |
| Guido1 | Azelphur: in the moment it is unmounted and i know the problem, but i need it soon again, because i need other files on it. | 19:54 |
| abortx | ochosi: i kinda need the plugin for wifi, cloudsync and other indicators | 19:55 |
| ochosi | oh | 19:55 |
| ochosi | abortx: application-menu != application indicators | 19:55 |
| ochosi | abortx: so which one do you have there? | 19:56 |
| abortx | When I add it to my panel it's called "Indicator Plugin" | 19:56 |
| ochosi | abortx: yes, but when you go to the properties of that plugin, which ones are listed there? | 19:57 |
| abortx | AH! ok, did not realize there where plugins.. | 19:57 |
| abortx | I guess "Menu" could be the bad guy? I cannot 'switch it off'. The other one that has something to do with menuitems is "StandardItems" | 20:02 |
| abortx | ochosi: and "configuration" is grayed out | 20:03 |
| abortx | ah, grayed out for Menu and StandardItems | 20:04 |
| abortx | ochosi: sorry, looking in BT plugis. Its difficult to grap the right-click for indicator plugin itself.. | 20:05 |
| abortx | ochosi: okay, found my way via panel preferences and clicked on "hidden" @Application Menus". This worked. Sorry for my messy interaction! | 20:09 |
| ochosi | abortx: no problem, good you managed to fix it | 21:02 |
| abortx | ochosi: yes, thanks very much! :) | 21:03 |
