[07:43] <stemid> I think I still have the old gnome ubuntu desktop starting even though I installed the xubuntu-desktop package. can you guys help me with this? or do you only help people who install xubuntu directly.
[07:43] <stemid> I saw the mouse start, but then the gnome desktop came in over it
[07:43] <stemid> the wallpaper and the top dock changed
[07:44] <stemid> 14.04
[07:44] <meek_geek> stemid, log out and select Xubuntu / Xfce
[07:45] <stemid> oh yeah I forgot to select session
[07:45] <stemid> I did log out
[07:45] <meek_geek> do it
[07:48] <stemid> hmm I have no options button in gdm that let's me change session. I think this is in lightdm.
[07:48] <stemid> switched to lightdm now
[07:49] <meek_geek> ok
[07:49] <meek_geek> now?
[07:52] <stemid> there we go, had to kill gdm, restart lightdm service so I wouldn\t lose my  tmux. but apparently keyboard layout is wronig
[07:56] <stemid> fixed, I am loving xfce
[08:06] <meek_geek> stemid, yaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[08:57] <BlueShark> Hello.
[08:57] <BlueShark> How can I turn off these annoying sound notifications? http://i.imgur.com/1aOpv1o.png
[08:58] <cfhowlett> BlueShark silence sound?
[09:10] <BlueShark> Figured it out. Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart -> Xfce Volume Daemon
[09:10] <BlueShark> cfhowlett: How do you do that?
[09:10] <cfhowlett> BlueShark click on the speaker, reduce sound to 0
[09:11] <BlueShark> cfhowlett: I don't want to mute sounds. I just want to turn off the notification popups.
[09:11] <cfhowlett> BlueShark click on the speaker, sound settings > system sounds 0
[09:11] <cfhowlett> BlueShark popups?  so NOT the audio sounds?
[09:12] <cfhowlett> BlueShark settings > notifications > disappear after 0 seconds should kill them
[09:13] <BlueShark> See the screenshot I posted above: http://i.imgur.com/1aOpv1o.png — Whenever a sound plays in the system, this little tabbed pane appears at the right-hand side corner of the screen (which is what I called a "popup" above). I was asking how to disable/turn them off.
[09:15] <BlueShark> cfhowlett: I can't find a Notifications icon in Settings Manager.
[09:16] <cfhowlett> !paste
[09:17] <cfhowlett> BlueShark waiting for imagebin to load - great firewall of china is slow today
[09:17] <deshipu> BlueShark: I don't think there is an easy way to disable that, you might want to ask at #xfce
[09:17] <skribblezatcha> BlueShark: those are called notifications you can turn those off through system settings.
[09:17] <BlueShark> skribblezatcha: Could you explain how?
[09:18] <skribblezatcha> do you know where your system settings are BlueShark?
[09:18] <BlueShark> deshipu: I disabled them by removing Xfce Sound Daemon from the Autostart applications list and it seems to have worked.
[09:18] <deshipu> BlueShark: that also disables your media keys
[09:18] <BlueShark> deshipu: OK, I'll ask around in #xfce.
[09:19] <cfhowlett> BlueShark sound settings daemon has nothing to do with nofications
[09:19] <deshipu> cfhowlett: it has, as it generates them
[09:19] <cfhowlett> BlueShark but #xfce are the experts
[09:19] <skribblezatcha> BlueShark: go to system settings, notifications, and you will see how to disable that.
[09:19] <deshipu> cfhowlett: as far as I understand, he only wants to disable a specific class of the notifications
[09:20] <deshipu> skribblezatcha: there is no option to disable them there
[09:20] <deshipu> skribblezatcha: please check before you give advice
[09:21] <skribblezatcha> hmmm, there used to be deshipu. sorry.
[09:25] <BlueShark> cfhowlett: sorry for the ping, but what screenshot were you going to take?
[09:25] <cfhowlett> BlueShark I was going to show you the settings > notifications tab
[09:26] <skribblezatcha> its in there cfhowlett?
[09:26] <cfhowlett> skribblezatcha 12.04 yes
[09:26] <skribblezatcha> thats what i thought cfhowlett. thanks.
[09:26] <deshipu> skribblezatcha: sorry, apparently my version is too old to have it
[09:27] <skribblezatcha> its ok deshipu. np. :)
[09:27] <BlueShark> cfhowlett: Oh, I think I know what you're talking about.
[09:28] <BlueShark> This? http://i.imgur.com/Jmyn31t.png
[09:29] <BlueShark> I thought that might be displaying the notifications and removed the 'xfce4-notifyd' package entirely.
[09:30] <deshipu> it does
[09:31] <deshipu> but you do need some of those notifications
[09:33] <BlueShark> Well, I removed them and logged out/in and the notifications were still there.
[09:33] <skribblezatcha> thats because i dont think that is the right spot BlueShark.
[10:11] <xubuntu873> hello, is there anyone here?
[10:11] <meek_geek> hi
[10:11] <cfhowlett> xubuntu873 ask your questions.
[10:11] <xubuntu873> ah, there is someone
[10:12] <xubuntu873> well I'm having a small problem with skype icon in the system tray
[10:12] <xubuntu873> it's big, it won't resize with the panel
[10:12] <xubuntu873> is this a known issue?
[10:14] <brainwash> xubuntu873: it is known that some tray icons are not resized properly
[10:16] <xubuntu873> I remember having this same problem with clementine and hplip if I remember correctly
[10:16] <xubuntu873> but skype worked before, now with xubuntu 14.04 skype isn't working
[10:16] <xubuntu873> clementine works ok
[10:17] <brainwash> not working at all?
[10:17] <xubuntu873> other than having thick panels, there's no solution for this so far?
[10:17] <xubuntu873> no, skype works fine, this is a non-issue basically
[10:17] <xubuntu873> it's just annoying
[10:18] <xubuntu873> :)
[10:18] <brainwash> bug 1313531
[10:19] <xubuntu873> thanks, I'll post there also
[10:20] <brainwash> ok, thanks :)
[10:23] <Aergan> Skype icon is resizing for me ok in XFCE4 16-48px
[10:24] <Aergan> Tried updating the icon cache for your icon theme?
[10:24] <xubuntu873> no, how do I do that?
[10:25] <xubuntu873> oh, I think I know
[10:25] <Aergan> I use: for D in /usr/share/icons/*; do sudo gtk-update-icon-cache $D; done
[10:25] <brainwash> Aergan: the normal xfce4 session without indicator area (panel)?
[10:26] <Aergan> Ah no sorry, mine's coming in via Indicator plugin on the panel
[10:26] <brainwash> we are talking about the indicator plugin
[10:27] <brainwash> I thought that you were referring to the normal notification area which works fine :)
[10:28] <Aergan> Mine's coming in via Indicators > Application Indicators within the Indicators plugin on xfce4-panel
[10:29] <xubuntu873> ok, I tried updating the icon cache, but it's still the same
[10:29] <Aergan> It doesn't respect any icon style changes but it does re-size correctly on mine currently
[10:30] <xubuntu873> so wait I can use a different indicator for system tray?
[10:30] <brainwash> if you remove the indicator area, apps will fall back to the notification area
[10:31] <xubuntu873> oh I see, there's two of them
[10:31] <brainwash> but all the (unity) indicators will disappear also
[10:31] <brainwash> like the mail indicator etc
[10:32] <xubuntu873> I see that network is also gone
[10:32] <xubuntu873> and without the indicator, I don't see skype icon at all
[10:32] <brainwash> even after a restart of the panel?
[10:32] <brainwash> xfce4-panel -r
[10:32] <brainwash> or just relog
[10:33] <xubuntu873> no, not even after restarting the panel
[10:33] <brainwash> that's odd
[10:33] <xubuntu873> clementine and dropbox icons are there
[10:33] <xubuntu873> I lost skype, network, volume and yes the message thingy
[10:33] <brainwash> well, removing the indicator area is not an optimal solution anyway
[10:33] <xubuntu873> which I don't really need
[10:34] <brainwash> maybe you can resize the skype icon and get it working
[10:34] <brainwash> icon file
[10:35] <brainwash> other than that, you'll have to wait until it's fixed officially
[10:35] <xubuntu873> I read somewhere that skype icon can be accesse
[10:35] <xubuntu873> can't be accessed
[10:36] <brainwash> sadly I have no clue :(
 and without the indicator, I don't see skype icon at all
[10:36] <gry> uninstall that plugin, it'll go to the old plugin then
[10:36] <xubuntu873> it's not that big of a deal, I just thought that there might be some kind of ninja fix that I'm not not aware of
[10:37] <gry> there is, you can get it working in minutes
[10:37] <xubuntu873> so I just remove the package?
[10:37] <gry> yes, granted you have the notification area active
[10:38] <gry> you might need to log off and log on, or restart skype, for it to work
[10:39] <xubuntu873> xfce4-indicator-plugin, that's the name of the package?
[10:41] <gry> yes, but you need to check that you have notification area active, first
[10:42] <gry> actually I see you mentioned it earlier that you do; go ahead then, yes it is the correct name
[10:43] <gry> the weird thing is that the skype icon shows up correctly for me in either of these two plugins, so if it doesn't, you might need to reinstall skype or give me a kick so I check some versions of my things and compare to yours
[10:45] <Aergan> I've been messing around with mine and I can't seem to break the resizing - it's always worked for me since installing it on Xubuntu 14.04 so far
[10:45] <Aergan> I did do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade before installing any applications when I first installed
[10:46] <gry> how high is your panel?
[10:46] <gry> oh, sorry, you said it works for you. I misread
[10:46] <Aergan> I have mine at the bottom, version 4.11.0
[10:47] <Aergan> Skype vertsion 4.2.0.11
[10:48] <xubuntu873> I removed the package with the notification area added, restarted the panel and skype, but skype icon isn't showing
[10:48] <xubuntu873> notification area active
[10:48] <gry> try to log off and log in
[10:48] <xubuntu873> ok, I'll be back in a sec
[10:48]  * gry hopes it's not one of the old broken things; debugging skype is hard
[10:51] <gry> hello there
[10:51] <gry> is it better now?
[10:51] <zorvalent> and I'm back, logged out/logged in and there's no skype icon
[10:51] <zorvalent> :)
[10:51] <gry> augh. would you mind trying under another OS user please?
[10:51] <gry> make a new user, try running skype there
[10:52] <gry> just so we can isolate user-specific config issues for starters
[10:52] <zorvalent> ok, hold on
[10:58] <zorvalent> hello, I'm back, logged in with a new user account, skype still doesn't show up
[10:58] <zorvalent> clementine works
[10:58] <zorvalent> so is dropbox, for example
[11:01] <zorvalent> I'll just install the indicator plugin back or do something I don't know
[11:01] <zorvalent> thanks for the help, I have to go now
[11:01] <zorvalent> bye
[11:04] <gry> that is so complicated
[11:31] <xubuntu868> hi.i have a problem with xubuntu 14.04
[11:31] <gry> hello, please describe your problem
[11:32] <deshipu> so, anybody have a problem with chromium's interface being huge?
[11:32] <deshipu> I saw a bug reporting it, but it was closed "because that version is not yet released"
[11:32] <deshipu> but it is released now
[11:33] <cfhowlett> deshipu is the new version in the ubuntu repos?
[11:33] <deshipu> yes
[11:33] <xubuntu868> mouse pointer flashes always when i move it near icons or menu labels
[11:33] <deshipu> version 34
[11:33] <deshipu> it's the default in trusty
[11:34] <cfhowlett> deshipu sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will grab that as well as the other upgradeable packages in trusty
[11:34] <deshipu> cfhowlett: yes, sure
[11:34] <deshipu> cfhowlett: that's not my problem though
[11:35] <deshipu> my problem is that chromium's user interface is too big and cannot be used
[11:35] <cfhowlett> deshipu  new chromium?  the above will grab the new chromium - which you described as fixing your issue.
[11:35] <deshipu> cfhowlett: I did not
[11:36] <deshipu> cfhowlett: I described it as having my issue
[11:36] <xubuntu868> hi.i have a problem with xubuntu 14.04: mouse pointer flashes always when i move it near icons or menu labels
[11:36] <gry> oh interesting
[11:36] <deshipu> !patience | xubuntu868
[11:36] <gry> what hardware and did it work before?
[11:36] <gry> or first install?
[11:38] <xubuntu868> cpu : amd athlon xp 2600+
[11:38] <xubuntu868> 1 GB RAM pc3200
[11:38] <xubuntu868> memory video shared 64MB
[11:38] <xubuntu868> another info?
[11:39] <gry> probably model of the computer or mouse
[11:39] <deshipu> xubuntu868: what video card and which driver are you using?
[11:40] <xubuntu868> VIA KM400/KN400/P4M800
[11:40] <xubuntu868> driver is UNICHROME
[11:42] <deshipu> hmm, doesn't ring any bells
[11:44] <xubuntu868> mmm :(
[11:45] <deshipu> try to search the forums maybe
[11:53] <xubuntu868> tnx

[18:45] <might_get_loud> guys i have 3 partitions on my laptops hdd
[18:46] <might_get_loud> 1 for win, 1 for xub, 1 for data (500 gb)
[18:46] <might_get_loud> how can i mount 3rd partition (data) automaticly every time i boot system
[18:46] <might_get_loud> with some script or something like that
[18:46] <bazhang> !fstab
[18:47] <might_get_loud> i know that, but some more noob friendly solution?
[18:47] <bazhang> thats very user friendly
[18:57] <might_get_loud> so should i edit etc/fstab file?
[18:59] <bazhang> did you read the link I gave you?
[18:59] <might_get_loud> yes
[18:59] <z4nD4R> Hi all, what's new? :)
[18:59] <might_get_loud> im reading it
[18:59] <might_get_loud> i dont want to fuck up things
[19:00] <might_get_loud> i found UUID for my partition and im editing fstab
[19:00] <might_get_loud> but i dont know what to pass as options / dump / pass arguments
[19:42] <xubuntu530> Im clearly missing the info on sticking xubuntu onto a flashdrive instead of a dvd, any ifno?
[19:42] <xubuntu530> Universal Usb Installer?
[19:44] <Unit193> Are you currently on Windows or Linux?
[19:45] <xubuntu530> Windows currently.
[19:45] <z4nD4R> xubuntu530: use unetbootin to create USB flashdrive install medium
[19:46] <Unit193> I'd rather highly recommend: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[19:46] <xubuntu530> Thanks for the options!
[19:47] <xubuntu530> Ive got a question, is it possible to install xubuntu to a usb drive as a full install instead of live cd?
[19:49] <Unit193> Well, you can make a persistent install.
[19:50] <xubuntu530> Do programs and settings stick on a persistant install?
[19:50] <xubuntu530> I know files do.
[19:52] <Unit193> You can't do kernel updates, but other stuff does.
[19:52] <Unit193> !persistent
[19:57] <xubuntu530> thanks
[20:13] <xubuntu_user> I have a laptop with a bad screen. I've connected another monitor to the laptop, and it's been working perfectly for the last few days. I fixed the resolution, etc. using the xubuntu settings (only when I'm logged in), but during the bootup/login screen, the resolution is wrong or the view is shifted. Is there a setting for this?
[20:15] <xubuntu_user> By the way, the screen sizes of the broken laptop screen and the monitor aren't the same
[20:52] <Riley> Okay, so I'm pretty new to linux, so please handle me with kid gloves. :D I enstalle xubuntu a few days ago because my Windows. However it's behaving anomalously and I can't figure it out. What happens is that when I leave and come back, the desktop background looks like it's been cut into  1000 1/2" squares and spread out like an impossible puzzle. Sometimes I can move the mouse, sometimes I can't, but other than that it's unresponsi
[20:52] <Riley> Installed* Windows crashed**
[20:52] <Riley> any ideas?
[23:59] <xubuntu932> Hello! I have a silly question. I changed over to Xubuntu from Ubuntu. In the process of updating packages, something has happened to the Greybird default theme on my system. Is there a way for me to reinstall it?
