[02:16] <alazare619_2> on 14.04 how do i disable screensaver while fullscreen on apps?
[02:16] <alazare619_2> particularly just vlc
[03:06] <poeticrpm> alazare619_2, launch vlc with --disable-screensaver
[03:07] <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
[07:36] <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
[09:10] <xubuntu187> hello
[09:10] <xubuntu187> anyone can help me?
[09:11] <xubuntu187> i installed xubuntu  14.04 and the wifi takes like 5 to ten minutes to get connected...if i check my connections, no seting appear
[09:54] <poeticrpm> xubuntu187, what is the connection you are trying to connect to?
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <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
[12:47] <xubuntu890> any idea?
[15:23] <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.
[16:57] <GridCube> matt_symes, there be many bugs relating wallpapers on xfce lately yes
[16:59] <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 ?
[17:02] <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
[17:03] <GridCube> setting wallpaper from thunar and the desktop manager should work tho
[17:14] <Bagira79> Hi all!
[17:15] <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...
[17:16] <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.
[17:18] <Bagira79> Anybody here?
[17:54] <matt_symes> ty GridCube. I will look at variety
[18:08] <CafeSouthside> Anyone online?
[18:09] <deshipu> no, we are all offline
[18:09] <deshipu> just ask your question and if somebody knows, they will answer

[18:13] <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.
[18:14] <deshipu> did you try reading the error?
[18:15] <CafeSouthside> There's a couple of pages of error.
[18:16] <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
[18:17] <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
[18:18] <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
[18:19] <CafeSouthside> Wifi wont work?
[18:19] <GridCube> from a terminal, without asking passwords
[18:19] <GridCube> no, i assume it wont just work
[18:21] <CafeSouthside> Makes sense. I thought that was the issue yesterday, but I'll try a hard-line router connect.
[18:23] <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
[18:25] <CafeSouthside> I know it can be done with unsecured connections, but I've never been successful with WP2 encrypted ones

[19:00] <DomiX> hi
[19:01] <Hedgework> Greetings
[19:02] <DomiX> when watching video from video the screen goes off after 10 minutes (vlc is configured to disable screesaver), I found several thread which sugest caffeine, is there a real fix on xubuntu 14.04 ?
[19:02] <DomiX> from dvd
[19:28] <xubuntu350> can someone direct me to a site with instructions for installing open office?
[19:29] <Hedgework> xubuntu350: "sudo apt-get install libreoffice"
[19:29] <Hedgework> done
[19:30] <xubuntu350> thanks
[19:31] <Hedgework> no problem
[20:17] <Felijo> Hi, I'd like advice on how to install xubuntu FROM a flash drive (Not TO a flash drive)
[20:18] <bekks> Felijo: The same way as from every other medium.
[20:18] <Felijo> Okay, but how do I make the flash drive bootable?
[20:19] <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.
[20:20] <Felijo> Okay, I'll try that. Thanks
[20:21] <Hedgework> np
[20:25] <meek_geek> how r u
[20:31] <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.
[20:32] <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.
[20:53] <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 :)
[21:18] <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!
[23:06] <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?
[23:12] <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 / ?
[23:13] <ewooy> lapaga, I dont exactly understand what you mean. I'm giving / (root) a place on seperate partition
[23:14] <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
[23:17] <xubuntu892> Can someone help me with the quickest way to download and install libreoffie?
