| alazare619_2 | on 14.04 how do i disable screensaver while fullscreen on apps? | 02:16 |
|---|---|---|
| alazare619_2 | particularly just vlc | 02:16 |
| poeticrpm | alazare619_2, launch vlc with --disable-screensaver | 03:06 |
| poeticrpm | alazare619_2, it can be a bit of a mess. I get rid of all screensaver stuff and just let xset control when my screen blanks (default 600 seconds or 10 minutes). By launching vlc with --disable-screensaver, it will inhibit xset from blanking the screen | 03:07 |
| CyborgCygnus | Did the Log Out/Power Button change recently? When I used to presh my towers on/off button it would bring up a menu asking me what I wanted to do (Shutdown, switch user, log out, armageddon) same as with the power button in the whisker menu, now it just logs out | 07:36 |

| xubuntu890 | hello everyone. I am trying to setup a new xubuntu 14.04 installation on an old laptop needing fixing | 12:45 |
| xubuntu890 | I have a very annoying issue I cannot seem to solve. The volum seems to maximize automatically | 12:45 |
| xubuntu890 | and keeps a notification on the notification area always active. When I try to minimize the volume it goes up again. I tried to search for other people having similar problems but no good | 12:46 |
| xubuntu890 | any idea? | 12:47 |
| matt_symes | Is there any known bug at the moment with changing the wallpaper in xubuntu ? I can't for the life of me change it, using either xsetting-manager or manually using xconf-query. | 15:23 |
| GridCube | matt_symes, there be many bugs relating wallpapers on xfce lately yes | 16:57 |
| matt_symes | ty GridCube. Any workarounds for them or other solutions ? What about variety as i've never used it ? Is that a reasonable alternative ? | 16:59 |
| GridCube | i use variety as my main wallpaper manager it is working perfectly now after it was modified to workaround the new wallpaper methods on xfce4.11 | 17:02 |
| GridCube | setting wallpaper from thunar and the desktop manager should work tho | 17:03 |
| Bagira79 | Hi all! | 17:14 |
| Bagira79 | I need some help. I just installed the latest lts xubuntu on my pc (graphics card: Geforce4...), and it didn't work well, especially the graphics... | 17:15 |
| Bagira79 | I put back the old lts version, so I lost all of my settings, favourites etc... The Hungarian community doesn't talk to me. I'm fed up. | 17:16 |
| Bagira79 | Anybody here? | 17:18 |
| matt_symes | ty GridCube. I will look at variety | 17:54 |
| CafeSouthside | Anyone online? | 18:08 |
| deshipu | no, we are all offline | 18:09 |
| deshipu | just ask your question and if somebody knows, they will answer | 18:09 |
| baizon | !ask | CafeSouthside | 18:11 |
| ubottu | CafeSouthside: 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 | 18:11 |
| CafeSouthside | I just tried installing Ubuntu 14.04 onto an older piece of hardware and am unable to load the desktop. I'm presented with the terminal and am able to log-in with my credentials but startx does not work - I just get an error. | 18:13 |
| deshipu | did you try reading the error? | 18:14 |
| CafeSouthside | There's a couple of pages of error. | 18:15 |
| CafeSouthside | I get "E: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xterm/xterm_297-1ubuntu1_i386.deb " | 18:16 |
| deshipu | when you type 'startx'? | 18:16 |
| GridCube | CafeSouthside, from the terminal access you have check that you have xubuntu-desktop installed | 18:16 |
| deshipu | CafeSouthside: that's not right | 18:17 |
| GridCube | do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 18:17 |
| deshipu | CafeSouthside: that error is from apt-get | 18:17 |
| deshipu | startx should not call apt-get | 18:17 |
| CafeSouthside | Just tried sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop. Now it's doing a scroll of errors again | 18:18 |
| CafeSouthside | Same thing happens when I apt-get update | 18:18 |
| GridCube | CafeSouthside, what did apt-get update said? | 18:18 |
| baizon | CafeSouthside: you have no internet connection | 18:18 |
| CafeSouthside | Wifi wont work? | 18:19 |
| GridCube | from a terminal, without asking passwords | 18:19 |
| GridCube | no, i assume it wont just work | 18:19 |
| CafeSouthside | Makes sense. I thought that was the issue yesterday, but I'll try a hard-line router connect. | 18:21 |
| GridCube | CafeSouthside, though there is probably ways to use nm-cli to connect to a wifi from a terminal | 18:23 |
| GridCube | i have no idea how, but im pretty sure it can be done | 18:23 |
| CafeSouthside | I know it can be done with unsecured connections, but I've never been successful with WP2 encrypted ones | 18:25 |

| xubuntu350 | can someone direct me to a site with instructions for installing open office? | 19:28 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu350: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice" | 19:29 |
| Hedgework | done | 19:29 |
| xubuntu350 | thanks | 19:30 |
| Hedgework | no problem | 19:31 |
| Felijo | Hi, I'd like advice on how to install xubuntu FROM a flash drive (Not TO a flash drive) | 20:17 |
| bekks | Felijo: The same way as from every other medium. | 20:18 |
| Felijo | Okay, but how do I make the flash drive bootable? | 20:18 |
| Felijo | And after that, can I just copy the files over? I'm running Linux Mint right now btw | 20:19 |
| Hedgework | Felijo: You can mount the image and run the disk setup script found there...or you can be lazy like me and just dd the iso to your flash drive | 20:19 |
| Hedgework | If you don't know what you are doing, the former is probably easier. | 20:19 |
| Felijo | Okay, I'll try that. Thanks | 20:20 |
| Hedgework | np | 20:21 |
| meek_geek | how r u | 20:25 |
| Felijo | So I have the iso mounted and I can see the files, but I'm not sure which one is the disk setup script. | 20:31 |
| Hedgework | hold on...I'll grab an image and look | 20:32 |
| Felijo | Thank you so much! Don't want you guys to hold my hand but I googled it to no avail. | 20:32 |
| Felijo | Hey Hedgework I just got dropped from my wifi so copy and paste your answer if you just entered one. If not take your time, I'm watching the Colbert Report :) | 20:53 |
| brasileiro | hi everyone... I can't launch nm-applet, I get Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"... any ideas? | 21:18 |
| Felijo | Oh wow, I just realized that in Linux Mint you can simply right click on the iso and there is an option to create bootable cd! Thanks again for your help Hedgework but I think I'm all set! | 21:18 |

| ewooy | I'm installing xubuntu, after selecting partitions (custom setup, I preserve previous Home - without formatting, and /srv), and clicking install Installer closes, and spining mouse pops up, nothing happens. What is going on? Is it formatting some disks, or what? | 23:06 |
| lapaga | ewooy, just a quick question (no answer) when you say I preserve previous Home - without formatting, and /srv are you giving it a place to install / ? | 23:12 |
| ewooy | lapaga, I dont exactly understand what you mean. I'm giving / (root) a place on seperate partition | 23:13 |
| lapaga | ewooy, that was my question which I was not sure of | 23:14 |
| xubuntu892 | I need the quickest way to download and install libreoffice | 23:14 |
