[01:11] <pumkash> Hi Frances.
[01:23] <|Anthony|> i'm using xubuntu 12.04 and just recently something weird happened with pulseaudio... i play minecraft which is a java based game and i can no longer select the audio output through pavucontrol... it's locked on my videocard hdmi output. i can not change it to the built in audio.
[01:35] <Kekai> anyone good with file formats?
[01:36] <Kekai> I downloaded a song ia the internet cache. Even though it says .mp3 every programs says its an HTML file
[01:46] <holstein> |Anthony|: you mean, "happened" as in, just once?
[01:46] <|Anthony|> as in persistent since it happend
[01:46] <|Anthony|> haven't been able to select it since it started... even after a reboot
[02:02] <sveta> Kekai, hi.
[02:03] <Kekai> hi
[02:03] <sveta> Kekai, right click the file, select properties, set what program to open it with.
[02:03] <Kekai> I did
[02:03] <holstein> Kekai: contact the maintainers of the file and ask for support.. thanks
[02:03] <sveta> does it happen to only one file or to all mp3 files?
[02:03] <Kekai> one file
[02:04] <sveta> I would probably rename it to html and open it in a browser then. I guess it's not a real mp3 file.
[02:04] <sveta> If it doesn't open that way either, just ask its author for more detail.
[02:05] <Kekai> I tried to contact
[02:06] <Kekai> its been a week since I did and no responce
[02:06] <Kekai> i tried opening it in parole
[02:06] <Kekai> http://snag.gy/yPjU6.jpg
[02:06] <Kekai> This is my error
[02:07] <Kekai> Then it crashes when I get the decoder
[02:07] <holstein> Kekai: ask the maintainer of the mp3
[02:07] <holstein> Kekai: what is the error when trying to play the file in vlc?
[02:08] <Kekai> I dont have VLC
[02:08] <holstein> Kekai: feel free and install it from the repos
[02:08] <holstein> Kekai: what are the errors when playing the file in vlc?
[05:48] <Guest95573> hello, xubuntu newbie here...is there anyway i can enable global menu in xfce panel? ( '',  )
[05:50] <crimsondusk> what is a global menu?
[05:51] <Guest95573> like the one they have in ubuntu where the menu bar is placed at the panel
[05:52] <crimsondusk> i don't use unity.. i don't suppose you want an applications menu?
[05:52] <Guest95573> nope not that applications menu
[05:54] <Guest95573> when you open up thunar...you can see the "File Edit View Go Help" at the top of the window right?
[05:54] <Guest95573> I want that options to be at the panel : )
[05:55] <crimsondusk> oh you want the menubar to be in the panel
[05:55] <Guest95573> yup2x
[05:56] <crimsondusk> http://askubuntu.com/questions/27189/is-there-a-global-menu-for-the-xfce-panel
[05:56] <Guest95573> thaanks : D
[05:57] <crimsondusk> yw
[05:58] <crimsondusk> though looks like it only worked until 11.10?
[05:59] <Guest95573> hmm...currently checking on it
[06:19] <Guest95573> no luck : /
[06:23] <crimsondusk> then... i don't know
[06:24] <crimsondusk> try google around, maybe you'll find something
[06:25] <Guest95573> thought about using mate panel instead...can i safely add it to the system without breaking something?
[06:25] <crimsondusk> i don't know about that, never tried to mix panels
[06:25] <crimsondusk> in theory it should work though
[06:26] <Guest95573> i'll give it a shot. thanks again : )
[06:26] <crimsondusk> you're welcome
[08:41] <sveta> is scrollbar that ugly for anyone else? https://i.imgur.com/Qk2F7q7.png it doesn't even have arrows. I'm using Orion theme.
[08:43] <ochosi> the fact that there aren't any arrows is by design
[08:48] <sveta> ok
[08:51] <xubuntu783> hii
[08:51] <xubuntu783> there >
[08:51] <xubuntu783> ?
[08:52] <ochosi> !welcome | xubuntu783
[08:53] <sveta> xubuntu783: hello.
[08:53] <sveta> xubuntu783: what's up?
[09:02] <xubuntu783> hey
[09:02] <xubuntu783> my xubnutu 12.04 crashes very frequently
[09:02] <xubuntu783> and the screen freezes, mouse and keyboard dont response
[09:02] <xubuntu783> and then I have to give a hard reset
[09:03] <xubuntu099> hii
[09:03] <xubuntu099> hey there?
[09:04] <sveta> hi hi
[09:04] <sveta> you asked about crashes
[09:04] <xubuntu099> yaa so the issue is, i have xubuntu 12.04 installed on my laptop
[09:04] <xubuntu099> and it crashes very frequently and thus hangs my lappy
[09:04] <sveta> what do you see on the screen when it does that?
[09:04] <xubuntu099> the screen freezes and mouse and keyboard becomes unresponsive
[09:05] <xubuntu099> nothing, it freezes and i m forced to give a hard reset
[09:06] <xubuntu099> it is really annoying as this thing happens every 15-20 mins
[09:06] <xubuntu099> please find me a solution
[09:07] <xubuntu099> there?
[09:08] <xubuntu647> Hell World! Is recommend update-upgrade BIOS on Linux? I have Intel 2 Quad Core(Family Intel Celeron).Thanks.
[09:11] <bullgard4> xubuntu647: No. Generally Linux does not recommend any BIOS updates or upgrades. Only in very special cases. But the manufacturer of you laptop computer often recommends a BIOS update or upgrade. So· generally, a BIOS upgrade or update is recommended.
[09:12] <bullgard4> s/you/your/
[09:14] <xubuntu647> bullgard4: I have a PC Desktop
[09:17] <bullgard4> xubuntu6Many Desktop PCs are assembled by small firms and do follow their own guidelines. If the company that did assemble your desktop PC did not painstakenly adhere to the motherboard's manufacturer's recommendations, then a BIOS update or upgrade may even do harm to your desktop computer.
[09:20] <xubuntu647> bullgard4:  I understand now.Thanks
[09:21] <bullgard4> Enjoy Ubuntu!
[09:22] <xubuntu647> bullgard4: Or update-upgrade Bios VirtualBox?
[09:22] <xubuntu647> Is recommended?
[09:24] <bullgard4> xubuntu647: I do not understand you well: "Or update-upgrade Bios VirtualBox?" What do you mean? Say it in other words, please.
[09:25] <xubuntu647> ok i have a problem with VirtualBox SMBus/Bios
[09:25] <xubuntu647> Please help me
[09:26] <bullgard4> xubuntu647: And what kind of problem is your VirtualBox SMBus/Bios?
[09:27] <xubuntu647> Xubuntu is slow install on VirtualBox
[09:27] <bullgard4> I see.
[09:28] <elfy> xubuntu647: have you read something somewhere and are trying to turn on VT-x in BIOS?
[09:28] <xubuntu647> Yes
[09:30] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:30] <elfy> ok - that's not updating/upgrading - hence the confusion :)
[09:31] <xubuntu647> Ok :
[09:31] <bullgard4> xubuntu647: If Xubuntu is running slow on VirtualBox, and this is your problem, I cannot help you. This need detailed knowledge on your hardware and on VirtalBox, which I do not have.
[09:31] <elfy> if it is supported - then it will be there in BIOS somewhere - might be called virtualisation
[09:32] <xubuntu647> Ok friends Xubuntu
[09:32] <xubuntu647> Ok
[09:32] <elfy> enable it - save that - turn off and turn the machine back on - sometimes a reboot doesn't do it
[09:32] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:32] <elfy> what OS are you running now?
[09:32] <bullgard4> +s
[09:33] <xubuntu647> I have PC Desktop Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and VirtualBox Gnu Debian is ok
[09:34] <xubuntu647> But problem is Xubuntu
[09:34] <xubuntu647> on VirtualBox
[09:34] <elfy> in a terminal grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo
[09:34] <elfy> I believe that is what you're looking to see
[09:35] <xubuntu647> Wow this message  vmx /proc/cpuinfo
[09:35] <xubuntu647> on terminal
[09:35] <xubuntu647> wow
[09:35] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:36] <elfy> right - so reboot - enter BIOS - look for the virtualisation bit and enable it
[09:36] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:36] <elfy> I've no idea where it will be - they are all different
[09:36] <xubuntu647> Ok
[09:36] <elfy> if you get further problems - try using the vbox channel - #virtualbox
[09:37] <xubuntu647> You have a documentation Linux?Please recommend
[09:37] <elfy> well ...
[09:37] <elfy> there is documentation everywhere on the internet :)
[09:38] <xubuntu647> Yes but is more
[09:38] <elfy> basic documentation is the man pages in a terminal
[09:38] <xubuntu647> yes but i want a basic documentation Linux
[09:38] <elfy> a basic ubuntu one http://ubuntu-manual.org/?lang=en_GB
[09:39] <xubuntu647> Thanks
[09:39] <elfy> I've no recommendation for that I'm afraid - I just got stuck in and broke things and fixed them :)
[09:39] <xubuntu647> I like Linux
[09:39] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:40] <xubuntu647> I'm beginner Linux
[09:40] <elfy> so was everyone :)
[09:40] <xubuntu647> :)) yes
[09:40] <xubuntu647> Study and study Linux :)
[09:41] <elfy> http://debian-handbook.info/ perhaps
[09:41] <xubuntu647> Yes is good yes
[09:41] <elfy> https://help.ubuntu.com/
[09:42] <elfy> is probably a good start
[09:42] <elfy> the way I did it - is when I needed to know X I looked for information on that only - I'm just a user not a system admin anywhere
[09:42] <xubuntu647> Of course
[09:43] <elfy> if you try and read everything it's overwhelming imo
[09:43] <xubuntu647> I want to learn linux user and admin
[09:43] <elfy> anyway - go see if you can get BIOS sorted
[09:43] <xubuntu647> Because is free system
[09:44] <xubuntu647> Thanks my friend
[09:44] <elfy> chatting about being a sys admin is offtopic - there is #xubuntu-offtopic
[09:44] <xubuntu647> ok
[09:44] <elfy> xubuntu647: and I would suggest that you are careful in BIOS - don't play about with things you don't understand - good luck
[09:45] <xubuntu647> My friend is recommend LPI Linux? http://www.lpi.org/
[09:48] <elfy> I'd be learning the basics first - if you're wanting help with BIOS - I'd think that linux certs are a bit up the road - but as I said - this is offtopic
[09:48] <elfy> this is just a support channel for xubuntu
[09:52] <xubuntu647> Ok and thanks for help me
[09:52] <sveta> for getting started I would recomment rute
[09:52] <sveta> but it is mostly commandline stuff, I can't suggest anything to get started with desktops
[09:53] <bluesabre> http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Certification-Nutshell-Adam-Haeder/dp/0596804873
[09:53] <bluesabre> ^ this is a really helpful resource for that
[09:53] <bluesabre> and rute is great too, but a bit much
[09:53] <xubuntu647> bluesabre:Thanks for book
[09:54] <sveta> sticking around on irc is a good thing for learning too
[09:55] <xubuntu647> yes
[10:09] <Guest66551> hi guys, got a problem everytime I start compiz I'm getting no decorations...already checked "windows decoration" in ccsm...and it says it can't find these "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator"
[10:22] <brainwash> Guest66551: is the package compiz-gnome installed?
[10:30] <Guest66551> brainwash: uhm...I'm not sure
[10:31] <brainwash> compiz-gnome should provide /usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator
[10:32] <Guest66551> how can I check if compiz-gnome is installed?
[10:33] <brainwash> open a terminal window and run "apt-cache policy compiz-gnome"
[10:34] <Guest66551> here's what I got:  compiz-gnome:

[11:50] <AliasMarlowe> Problem: In my Applications menu, all is OK. If 'Menu Editor' in 'Settings Manager' is opened, then there are duplicate entries.
[11:52] <AliasMarlowe> All of the items in 'Settings Manager' appear also in 'Accessories' and in 'System', which are the first and last items with menu items. Note that the 'Settings Manager' category in 'Menu Editor' is empty.
[12:03] <AliasMarlowe> Problem: In my Applications menu, all appears to be OK. If 'Menu Editor' in 'Settings Manager' is opened, then there are duplicate entries. All of the items which might belong in 'Settings Manager' appear in both 'Accessories' and 'System', which are the first and last categories with menu items. Most of them appear more than once in each category, and the two categories contain the same spurious entries in 'Menu Editor'; the cat
[12:03] <AliasMarlowe> egories themselves are OK on the Applications menu. Note that the 'Settings Manager' category in 'Menu Editor' is empty.
[12:08] <brainwash> AliasMarlowe: that's bug 1310261 I think
[13:54] <AliasMarlowe> @ubottu, @brainwash: OK, thanks. It seems it's being looked into. Actually, it's more of an annoyance than anything else.

[15:43] <Elia> Hello! I have (probably yet another) flash player/youtube question. On my Xubuntu 14.04 LTS machine I can play YouTube videos without a problem but when I try to play YouTube videos using Firefox 30 it simply tells me that an error has occured. I have searched on the web but can't find any solutions to this problem, it seems like playing YouTube videos either works or it doesn't work regardless of the browser used. Does anyone know why I might ha
[15:44] <Elia> flashplugin-installer is installed
[15:45] <Elia> oops forgot this: I have no problem playing them in Chromium, but it won't work in Firefox 30
[15:50] <brainwash> Elia: you could switch to html5 on youtube
[16:01] <MisterAcacia> Curious if anyone knows how to install libnotify-bin:i386 without removing the 64-bit version already installed.
[16:02] <Elia> the problem with HTML5 is that it might not work on the videos I'm trying to watch, I have enabled HTML5 in the youtube settings but I'm still getting "an error occured"
[16:02] <deshipu> MisterAcacia: why do you need the binaries?
[16:03] <sveta> how do I install adwaita theme on xfce?
[16:03] <sveta> sorry, I mean: on xubuntu
[16:04] <MisterAcacia> deshipu: I have 32-bit apps that use libnotify, but the apps are 32-bit and don't recognize the 64-bit version. I also have 64-bit apps that don't recognize the 32-bit version.
[16:05] <ochosi> sveta: i think the package name is gnome-themes-standard or something
[16:16] <luisja1006> could someone help me with my hdmi screen resolution output? borders are cut off on my tv
[16:20] <ochosi> sounds like wrong resolution
[16:20] <luisja1006> tried both 1280 x 720
[16:20] <luisja1006> and
[16:21] <luisja1006> 1920 x 1080
[16:21] <luisja1006> borders are cut off on both
[16:22] <MisterAcacia> Luisja1006: All borders or just sides?
[16:24] <luisja1006> how to explain
[16:24] <luisja1006> I have the menu bar in the top
[16:24] <luisja1006> so it's half cut
[16:24] <luisja1006> also left and right borders are cut
[16:25] <MisterAcacia> Luisja1006: OK, so all borders. Maybe on overscan setting on the tv?
[16:25] <luisja1006> no overscan function on my tv (already checked advanced options)
[16:27] <MisterAcacia> Can you change from default and maybe set an underscan?
[16:27] <luisja1006> how I do that
[16:27] <luisja1006> do you mean on the laptop with command line or in the hdtv
[16:28] <MisterAcacia> On the tv where you set overscan, maybe you can set a negative value and cause it to underscan.
[16:28] <luisja1006> the thing is there is no overscan option on the menus
[16:29] <luisja1006> sony bravia klv-32L500A
[16:29] <MisterAcacia> Oh I misunderstood. Sorry. Maybe check the user manual for the tv?
[16:34] <luisja1006> well...
[16:41] <sveta> in the menu, synaptic entry is broken for one user but not for another one
[16:41] <sveta> how do i reset the menu please - delete some directory in  ~ ?
[16:44] <MisterAcacia> sveta: how do you mean broken?
[16:48] <sveta> it does not launch and it doesn't give any error
[17:02] <MisterAcacia> sveta: For the user who can't run it, open a terminal and enter "synaptic-pkexec" and observe the output
[17:02] <sveta> MisterAcacia, it asks to enter the username in a commandline prompt then
[17:04] <MisterAcacia> sveta: Now have the user open the menu and right-click on the Synaptic entry and choose Add to desktop. Then try launching that
[17:06] <sveta> when I right click, the menu disappears
[17:06] <sveta> there is no context menu that I can see
[17:08] <MisterAcacia> sveta: OK, is the user's account time Admin, desktop user or custom? Not sure if that matters, but it might. Also, since you can't right-click, try dragging Synaptic to the desktop
[17:12] <sveta> dragging it works
[17:12] <sveta> open it with mousepad, it is a "synaptic-pkexec" indeed
[17:13] <MisterAcacia> luisja1006: Do you have nvidia graphics?
[17:13] <MisterAcacia> sveta: OK, try running it from that desktop launcher
[17:16] <sveta> I found it, the bad user was missing policykit authentication agent in the startup
[17:16] <MisterAcacia> Bad naughty user :)
[17:16] <sveta> since I did the drag-and-drop with both users, they had identical command in it
[17:17] <MisterAcacia> I thought they might be the same thing, it comes from /usr/share. Glad you found the cause
[17:43] <pumkash> nikolam:   Hi
[17:53] <pumkash> xubuntu is the best!
[17:54] <pumkash> Its way better than ubuntu!
[17:55] <sveta> hi. happy to hear that :)
[18:04] <madlybad> hello All
[18:05] <MisterAcacia> [repost] Is there a way I can install libnotify-bin:i386 and not remove the 64-bit version? I have some 32-bit apps that don't recognize the 64-bit libnotify.
[18:10] <brainwash> MisterAcacia: which 32bit apps? it's the same dbus interface after all
[18:13] <MisterAcacia> Firestorm Viewer for Second Life (http://www.secondlife.com). It's a c++ program written for Linux, Mac and Windows. The 64-bit version recognizes libnotify, the 32-bit version does not. I don't know if I can uninstall libnotify x64 without causing other issues.
[18:18] <brainwash> any reason why you cannot use the 64bit version of the program?
[18:21] <MisterAcacia> I use both actually. So this isn't an imperative, but would good gouge to pass on to the few thousand Linux users in SL :)
[19:00] <madlybad> hello to All
[19:00] <madlybad> my issue is: i can't see what i write in Mousepad. What should i set to avoid this?
[19:04] <sveta> a bigger font
[19:04] <sveta> a black colored font
[19:05] <madlybad> thanks! i find the problem= fonts was set to size 0 :))
[19:05] <madlybad> shame on me :))
[19:10] <sveta> lovely, glad you're reading it now :)

[20:09] <ozbrk> hi guys I know it is out of topic but any of  you have any clue about why online accounts in ubuntu doesn't work ?
[20:10] <ozbrk> in facebook it is just gives me a white screen and twitter option closes itself when I click on it
[20:15] <WLM|zzzzz> ozbrk: strange
[20:16] <WLM|zzzzz> I have a problem with connecting to Facebook, doing it via Jabber now, then it works, but that's all. No white screens
[20:16] <ozbrk> maybe the problem is translations I'm using Turkish languaage

[20:42] <xubuntu799> hi... I'm a complete newbie and have a question about networking in Xubuntu 14.04... can't get my Windows machines on the network to see the Linux machine. Doesn't show up in Network. I can browse the Windows machines fine via Xubuntu though. All machines are ethernet and I have Samba set up correctly (I think). If anyone could help I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
[20:46] <goneeuro> thanks.
[20:47] <goneeuro> sorry for the delay. World cup has me distracted. http://pastebin.com/mjjsBZ6Y
[20:48] <goneeuro> Basically aptana just crashes. No error message comes up. It just saves a log file in my home directory
[20:57] <ochosi> xubuntu799: actually if you've correctly set up samba you should be able to see your xubuntu machine on windows
[20:58] <ochosi> at least technically there is no special problem there
[20:58] <xubuntu799> I may well not have done it correctly, it's my first time using Linux. But I am able to connect to the machine if I go via IP address. I can see the shared folder that way
[20:59]  * ochosi shrugs
[20:59] <ochosi> honestly i haven't used windows in so long, that i probably wouldn't know what to do anymore :p
[20:59] <xubuntu799> well, I wish I'd been using Linux for longer than I have :p
[21:00] <xubuntu799> but thank you anyway
[21:12] <ochosi> xubuntu799: np
