[03:16] <xubuntu350> Hey I was wondering if someone could help me. For some reason whenever I load any Linux distro my USB 2.0 ports don't work but my USB 3.0 ports DO work. Any ideas?
[03:17] <xubuntu350> I have to plug my mouse and keyboard into USB 3.0 ports to get them to work

[07:13] <Cornholio> hi there, i've installed current xubuntu from the ubuntu minicd and the desktop itself does not start properly. mostly black screen but sometimes there seems to flash parts of a login screen. I have to admit that my linux skills are not really up to date as it has been about 10 years ago when I last worked with linux a little bit more intense... Is there any idea how to track this down? I've (re)installed xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop via ap
[07:36] <Cornholio> no1?
[07:42] <bullgard4> Cornholio: "Cornholio	hi there, i've installed current xubuntu from the ubuntu minicd and the desktop itself does not start properly. " Please analyze /var/log/syslog and ~/.xsession-errors. If then you cannot think of counter measures, please report the error messages that you encountered.
[07:54] <kostex> don't know if it's the right channel, but please forgive me if is is..   is there a command to check if I have my secondary screen connected? (to be able to use it in a shell script)
[07:58] <bullgard4> kostex: Try '~$ xrandr'.
[07:59] <kostex> thanks bullgard4! Ofcourse! silly me!
[08:03] <kostex> xrandr | grep LVDS-1-0 | cut -d' ' -f2      WIN!
[08:09] <Cornholio> thank you bullgard4, I'm quite lost. ;) The syslog does not give me any hints and I do not have a xsession-errors file in my ~/
[08:16] <bullgard4> Cornholio: Mind the dot at the beginning.
[08:17] <bullgard4> (It's a "hidden" file.
[08:17] <bullgard4> )
[08:18] <Cornholio> yes, I did mind that ;)
[08:18] <Cornholio> ~/.xsession-errors
[08:20] <Cornholio> as it it a clean install, maybe installing xubuntu and not ubuntu with minicd and then installing xubuntu desktop is a better solution? TRhe only problem is that it is a X21 Thinkpad which only has a CD Drive and the 14.04 does not fit on a CD ;)
[08:20] <bullgard4> Yes. - So you better copy your /var/log/syslog to a nopaste service and ask a good friend to be so kind to scutinize it.
[08:22] <bullgard4> Cornholio: I do not think that "installing xubuntu and not ubuntu with minicd and then installing xubuntu desktop" makes much difference. But if you cannot find the reason for your black screens it may be worth a try.
[08:26] <bullgard4> I'd prefer installing Xubuntu at once, though.
[08:27] <Cornholio> me 2 but I'd like to have 14.04 and as there is no image for 14.04 which fits on CD I tried die MiniCD
[08:28] <bullgard4> Cornholio: Yes, you needed a solution which fits into a CD.
[08:30] <Cornholio> I'll try xubuntu 12.04.4 then as 13.04 also is 789MB
[08:32] <koegs> Cornholio: ist the x21 able to boot from usb?
[08:32] <Cornholio> yes, but not from usb-sticks ;)
[10:53] <gry> Weird. I try an icon theme for lightdm and they all act up at the lightdm screen. What is the default lightdm icon theme?
[10:55] <Unit193> elementary-xfce-dark
[10:57] <gry> Thanks. I used "elementary-xfce" and it worked. :-) What about making the list of users selecteable instead of scrolleable?
[11:05] <brainwash> gry: feel free to file a feature request -> https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter
[11:07] <gry> Okay, thanks.
[11:09] <gry> Is it an in-ubuntu tool though? Is this the primary bug tracker for this software? I was assuming that launchpad is only for distro bugs, i.e. if the issue is within a software itself, it's filed elsewhere.
[11:10] <Unit193> That's the project page, not the Ubuntu source page.
[11:11] <gry> I see. Thanks.
[11:18] <knome> gry, what issue isn't within software itself? anyway, you can file any bugs against the ubuntu packages, they'll be forwarded in most cases
[11:18] <knome> or cross-tracked
[11:18] <knome> bbl
[11:59] <Guest24532> heyho, i have a bugreport, don't know where to put it

[12:05] <pumkash> Good morning people, what's going on?
[12:05] <cfhowlett> pumkash ask you ubuntu questions
[12:06] <pumkash> I don't have any right now.
[12:07] <mokrates> found, thanks
[12:07] <mokrates> bye
[12:28] <CrypticByte> Question, does anyone know if there is a way in Xubuntu to have a global menu like it is with Ubuntu
[12:31] <gry> how global should it be?
[12:31] <CrypticByte> just like on ubuntu, every window instead of having file, view, etc it will be on the main top pannel
[12:34] <brainwash> there is indicator-appmenu, but it does not work properly in Xubuntu
[12:34] <brainwash> other solutions seem to be outdated/broken
[12:35] <CrypticByte> ah ok well I suppose I'll just learn how to properly use ubuntu then :P its the one feature that ubuntu has that I refuse to give up :P I suppose everyone has a feature or two that hooks them into their distro
[13:03] <gry> I'm reading the documentation: at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap I don't really see what's planned or what the todo is. It's an almost empty page.
[13:08] <brainwash> gry: that's a question for #xubuntu-devel
[13:37] <xubuntu204> hello?
[13:40] <xubuntu204> I need help with my  xfce panel. I was messing around with the settings and changed it to the maximum size. Now it's filling my whole screen and windows are trapped behind it. Please help!
[13:40] <paolo> "Close multiple terminals? this tab has sseveral terminals open. closing the tab will also close all terminals within it." clicking on "Close terminals" does nothing (the terminals stay open)
[13:40] <paolo> i use terminator. is it a terminator issue or xubuntu?
[13:40] <xubuntu204> xubuntu.
[13:41] <paolo> ok, should i open an issue on the bugtracker then?
[13:41] <xubuntu204> idk, im new to linux.
[14:38] <dan4dm> hi all. trying to install Xubuntu (14.04 amd64) from DVD on my new thinkpad T440p. "Check disk for errors" works fine. "Install Xubuntu" does some disk access then hangs with a "xubuntu" splash and a spinning wheel. what should I try please?
[14:44] <pumkash> I'm back!
[14:45] <pumkash> What's up Xubuntu users!
[14:45] <dan4dm> pumkash: well hello. I wonder if you can advise: I'm trying to install Xubuntu (14.04 amd64) from DVD on my new thinkpad T440p. "Check disk for errors" works fine. "Install Xubuntu" does some disk access then hangs with a "xubuntu" splash and a spinning wheel. what should I try please?
[14:48] <pumkash> dan4dm:  I could only think of 2 things.   You have a bad copy of Xubuntu or you need to replace your DVD burner.
[14:48] <GridCube> !uefi | dan4dm
[14:48] <GridCube> dan4dm, ^
[14:49] <pumkash> What is uefi?
[14:49] <GridCube> pumkash, read what ubottu said
[14:49] <dan4dm> GridCube: gosh. thanks.
[14:49] <pumkash> Ok.
[14:49] <pumkash> Let me Google it.
[14:49] <GridCube> sound like a plan :)
[14:49] <pumkash> LOL
[14:50] <gry> hrmz, what a novel concept
[14:54] <GridCube> not really tho, uefi and efi is being a head pain for a long time now
[14:58] <gry> synaptic doesn't open from the menu or commandline, but if i prefix its command with gksu or sudo, it opens ok; how do i make it open from the menu too?
[15:10] <gry> hm, i reinstalled it, same issue
[15:12] <brainwash> gry: try synaptic-pkexec
[15:13] <gry> it asks which user to run it as; no way i use this prompt every time
[15:13] <dan4dm> hmm, I can't find how to "Disable Acceleration from Intel RST", in this BIOS?
[15:14] <brainwash> gry: is it a graphical prompt?
[15:14] <gry> no, it is text prompt
[15:15] <dan4dm> no wait, I found RST. It's SRT (!) I can't find, "Intel Smart Response Technology"
[15:15] <brainwash> gry: this means that polkit-gnome-authentication-agent isn't started automatically on session start
[15:15] <gry> can i uninstall that agent please
[15:16] <brainwash> why would you want to do this?
[15:16] <brainwash> the agent provides the graphical prompt
[15:16] <gry> i wouldn't like a prompt to appear in the first place, it would be nice if it just started as the current user
[15:17] <brainwash> but you cannot run synaptic as normal user
[15:21] <elfy> you can - it's just pointless
[15:22] <gry> what specifically is responsible for running apps with privileges just when they need it?
[15:46] <xubuntu038> hi
[16:49] <wrongplace> hi, I have torified all traffic in/from my computer. THats not a problem if I know the router's number of identification and possword. THe problema rises in college, there I have to log in to get access to internet, but I cannot reach the log in page while torified. WHat I now do is in firefox: connect with no proxy, log in, and proxify all, given that "http_proxy=";" does not work. Is there any easier workaround?
[16:52] <wrongplace> i tried to mark the page as an exception in the proxy settings, that didnt work
[17:21] <dan4dm> is "LiveCD" still a thing for ubuntu installers? is it part of the standard desktop amd64 xubuntu image? (still failing to install on this thinkpad t440p)
[17:22] <slickymasterWork> dan4dm: xubuntu image doesn't fit in a CD anymore, you can either produce a LiveDVD or a LiveUSB with the image though
[17:24] <dan4dm> slickymasterWork: thanks. "you can produce" means there's something special to do to make LiveDVD, or just burn the image?
[17:25] <slickymasterWork> just burn, dan4dm, if you're going with a DVD ;)
[17:25] <dan4dm> ok thanks!
[17:48] <dan4dm> ok, in case anyone cares: installing on T440p seems to require answer #15 here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/246834 (i.e. acpi=off boot option)
[17:52] <slickymasterWork> thanks for the heads up dan4dm
[17:53] <pavlos> liveCD xubuntu 14.04 popped task manager, tried to resize columns (processname, pid, cpu) not able to ... is that a known issue?
[19:56] <docsaintly> Hello All. I usually run teamviewer for remote and I've been fiddling to get the headless display to be a higher resolution. It's not coming up now, so I'd like to VNC into the existing desktop to see what's going on. I'm running: x11vnc -display :0 -auth ~/.Xauthority and it's giving me the "XOpenDisplay("") failed.
[19:56] <docsaintly> " error
[19:56] <docsaintly> any ideas?
[19:59] <holstein> docsaintly: if i could plug a monitor in, i would and save lots of time.. ssh'd into my machine, i can run "x11vnc -usepw -forever -rfbport #### -geometry 1366x768" to start a vnc session
[20:01] <docsaintly> holstein: even tried that and it still says it can't open a display :\
[20:04] <holstein> docsaintly: as i said, i would just plug in a monitor, if at all possible.. but, what are the errors? do you have a firewall up? if so, remove it from the equation

[20:09] <docsaintly> holstein: sorry - my screen is quite corrupted right now. my apologies for the spam
[20:10] <docsaintly> basically, I went over and plugged in a screen and it would appear the ogin screen has hung up, it's probably due to the configuration I tried to apply
[20:23] <pavlos> liveCD xubuntu 14.04 popped task manager, tried to resize columns (task, pid, cpu) not able to ... is that a known issue?
[20:26] <brainwash> pavlos: don't think that this is a known issue
[20:26] <brainwash> see https://bugzilla.xfce.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&product=Xfce4-taskmanager
[21:52] <pavlos> brainwash, thanks ... bug 8788 describes what I see, after you resize a col and sort, they go back to original size.
