[06:43] <baizon> Mountain_R: http://askubuntu.com/questions/452157/how-can-i-lock-my-screen-without-turning-off-the-monitor-xubuntu-14-04
[06:44] <baizon> Mountain_R: try the option first
[06:44] <Mountain_R> baizon, thanks
[06:47] <Mountain_R> baizon, i see this to insert in the terminal:  sudo apt-get remove --purge light-locker && sudo apt-get install xscreensaver       I can see two &, what this means? Do I have separate the 2 commands or I have to copy it as it is?
[06:48] <baizon> Mountain_R: have tried to set options first on light-locker?
[06:48] <Mountain_R> yes but it doesn't work
[06:48] <baizon> ou well, then you can try xscreensaver, yes
[06:49] <baizon> yes taht are 2 commands, the first one removes light-locker, the second one installs xscreensaver
[06:50] <Mountain_R> baizon, yes I know they are 2 commands but Do I have to copy the line as it is? Or I have to separate the 2 commands in 2 times?
[06:51] <baizon> both work
[06:51] <Mountain_R> ok thanks
[06:51] <baizon> np
[06:53] <ktwo> what is the reccommended way to have a keyboard switchting with small logo on the taskbar like on windows ? where i can switch layouts quickly
[06:55] <ktwo> but i want something nicely integrated if possible not some tool from Kde or gnome
[07:10] <Mountain_R> baizon, it works great now thanks
[07:10] <baizon> np
[07:11] <Mountain_R> one more question: what does it mean on the screensaver...   Cycle after X minutes?

[07:44] <xubuntu327> Hi  i have been trying to install xubuntu but when it comes to "configuring bcmwl-kernel-source (i386)" nothing more seems to happen. What is the matter?
[08:47] <xubuntu327> <xubuntu327> Hi  i have been trying to install xubuntu but when it comes to "configuring bcmwl-kernel-source (i386)" nothing more seems to happen. What is the matter?Please forgive me if i am rude to repose my question!
[09:23] <keeper_19_86> hi guys, i'd like to edit some startmenu application keywords. For example: When i type "txt" in the starmenus searchbar, i want "mousepad" to be shown. I've tried doing this by changing "Keywords" in the Advanced Section of an Application in the Menu Options (MenuLibre), but it did not have any effect. VLC Media Player has per default the following Keywords "Player;Capture;DVD;Audio;Video;Server;Broadcast;" However most
[09:23] <keeper_19_86> of these didn't work eighter. Googling didnt help so far. Anybody got a hint for me?
[09:27] <keeper_19_86> The Menu however does not seem to use the application names only: When i type "file" the "VLC Media Player" is shown...
[09:30] <keeper_19_86> nobody having an idea?
[09:31] <knome> afaik, the search looks for titles and descriptions, not keywords
[09:33] <keeper_19_86> ah thanks, but do you know, where the description is to be found at? So that i can edit it ;-)
[09:34] <knome> it's probably called "Comment" or sth like that
[09:36] <keeper_19_86> hmm ... no such Field in MenuLibre ...
[09:38] <knome> it's the field below the title.
[09:38] <knome> it has no label
[09:47] <keeper_19_86> oh crap: Thank you knome! I found the (stealth) field, edited it aaand ... again: not working! But then i realized, that the VLC command below has the option "--started-from-file". That was, why, when i typed "file", vlc was shown. Damn thats bad :(
[09:48] <keeper_19_86> i really don't get, why this searchbar ignores the line, labled as keywords and i wonder, what purpose this field then has anyway ...
[09:49] <knome> to organize the launchers into categories.
[09:49] <knome> i'd imagine there are many keywords many people would not like to be searched
[09:51] <keeper_19_86> no the organisation in categories is done by the entries in the tab "categories". I'm talking about the keywords-field in the Tab "advanced" (but maybe they are named "tags", i have a localized version)
[09:57] <keeper_19_86> OK. The description of the Field sas: "Keywords - a list of Strings which may be used in addition to other metadata, to describe this entry. This can be useful e.g. to facilitate searching through entries. The Values are not meant for display and should not be redundant with the Values of Name or GenericName"
[10:08] <keeper_19_86> does anybody know, what the name of this (default) search "program" in the menu is?
[12:08] <rafay> Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to install Kindle Comic Converter https://github.com/ciromattia/kcc
[12:09] <rafay> It only supplies a .tar.gz
[12:09] <rafay> When I extract it to /usr/local/src/
[12:09] <rafay> and try to run ./configure
[12:09] <bekks> enter is not a punctuation sign.
[12:10] <rafay> I get output "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[12:10] <rafay> "
[12:10] <rafay> Sorry about that, I aplogize.
[12:10] <bekks> So there is no such file in the directory where you are issueing that command.
[12:12] <rafay> Not true, the folder where I have extracted the contents of the tarball into contaqins 3 python script files and 1 png image. That was all there was in the tarball.
[12:12] <rafay> Also I made sure to set my terminal to the appropriate directory using cd
[12:13] <bekks> "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory - is true.
[12:13] <bekks> ls -lha . will second that.
[12:15] <rafay> rafay@Rafay-X:/usr/local/src/KindleComicConverter_linux_4.1$ ls -lha

[12:16] <rafay> Basically shows again 3 python scripts, a png and a txt. No clues there.
[12:17] <bekks> And no file named "configure".
[12:17] <bekks> As bash already told you.
[12:18] <rafay> Yes, should such a file already come included in the tarball? Or do I have to generate it somehow? This is my first tarball compilation and this specific one seems to lack even a readme to guide me.
[12:19] <bekks> rafay: you have to ask the author of that tarball what should be included.

[20:12] <koegs> staaaap!
[20:14] <Guido1> Hello, how can i see which version of xubuntu i have and how can i do a uprade to the newest LTS? (the pictures on http://xubuntu.org/) look different than my actual one
[20:17] <bekks> Guido1: Whats the output of "lsb_release -a" then, please?
[20:18] <Guido1> bekks: 12.04
[20:19] <Guido1> bekks: so not 14
[20:26] <meek_geek> guys I did apt-get purge smc* ( assuming it would remove that games secret mario ) but it messed up the system
[20:26] <meek_geek> how to rollback ?
[20:31] <nikolam> meek_geek, next time use BTRFS for system disk and make snapshots before changing packages
[20:32] <meek_geek> nikolam, i have recovered the system
[20:32] <meek_geek> but when i use apt-get update
[20:32] <meek_geek> it gives me a long list of packages
[20:33] <meek_geek> and asks me to autoremove it
[20:34] <nikolam> hm. take a look what he tries to remove. maybe much of it you can leave there. Many packages are removed from 14.04. Was that update from 13.10?
[20:34] <nikolam> also take a look if you use actually mirror for packages or main server.
[20:34] <meek_geek> no a fresh install of 14.04
[20:34] <meek_geek> no mirrors
[20:35] <nikolam> sometimes, mirrors does not have newest packages in them . use Synaptic to check it.
[20:35] <meek_geek> this error was never there until I did purge smc*
[20:35] <nikolam> you can see what packages smc could refer to
[20:35] <meek_geek> and it did start to remove a lot apps
[20:36] <meek_geek> xfce-*
[20:36] <meek_geek> and much more
[20:36] <nikolam> Suggestion with using Btrfs for snapshots stays it is not that integrated but at least gives option of getting back (if learning Btrfs functions is not much hard)
[20:37] <nikolam> aha I see
[20:37] <nikolam> maybe reinstall xubuntu-desktop
[20:37] <meek_geek> This how i got back here ^
[20:37] <nikolam> see what packages smc* could also reffer to ant try re-install them
[20:37] <meek_geek> I did boot into root shell via advanced option in grub
[20:37] <meek_geek> and installed xubuntu-desktop
[20:38] <nikolam> ohm, yes, also use pastebin next time for large posts on channel :P
[20:38] <meek_geek> nikolam, the problem is when i do purge smc* , it did not even ask for confirmation
[20:38] <meek_geek> Or it did ?
[20:38] <meek_geek> I cannot recall
[20:39] <meek_geek> cuz if it would remove a lot why would i go for it
[20:39] <meek_geek> i already check what apps are being removed
[20:39] <nikolam> dunno.
[20:39] <meek_geek> can you take the risk ?
[20:39] <meek_geek> apt-get purge smc*
[20:40] <meek_geek> does it remove without confirmation ?
[20:41] <meek_geek> nikolam, Did you try ?
[20:42] <nikolam> I am curr. not behind xubuntu machine with btrfs, but I could try some time. one can try it in VM, too
[20:42] <nikolam> I am not curr.
[20:43] <meek_geek> but man there is one thing
[20:43] <meek_geek> when i am trying to install whatever apps in that list it says newest version is available
[20:46] <nikolam> huh dunno, it seems like general ubuntu problem and not xubuntu-specific. if it's not a problem, try reinstall to be sure everything is ok, this time on Btrfs and use snapshots.. sometime :P
[20:46] <meek_geek> nikolam, does xubuntu setup offer that file system ?
[20:47] <nikolam> I think I managed to install on Btrfs once, one just need to carefully do partition manually
[20:47] <meek_geek> nikolam, hurrah! that long list is gone now
[20:48] <nikolam> :)
[20:48] <meek_geek> do you know why ubuntu offers xchat and not hexchat ?
[20:54] <Guido1> bekks: so how can i uprade from 12.04 to 14?
[20:55] <koegs> meek_geek: if you want to use hexchat, you can try this ppa https://launchpad.net/~gwendal-lebihan-dev/+archive/hexchat-stable
[21:01] <koegs> Guido1: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; sudo update-manager -d
[21:03] <nikolam> meek_geek, nooone has put ut un the repos?
[21:04] <meek_geek> nikolam, i install hexchat from the repos
[21:04] <Guido1> koegs: Thank you :-)
[21:05] <meek_geek> koegs, what is the need of that
[21:05] <meek_geek> We have hexchat in the repo
[21:06] <koegs> did not check if hexchat is in the default repo
[21:07] <koegs> but if you want to make sure to have the latest stable release of hexchat, you could use the ppa i mentioned
[21:11] <nikolam> ok
[21:11] <Havenstance> how do you fix grub when the installer writes it to the USB key your installing from, I configured using whole disk encryption with LVM.
[21:15] <meek_geek> koegs, ok sir
[21:15] <meek_geek> is xubuntu maintained by Community Completely ? or Ubuntu is still controlling it ?
[22:33] <ikonijnen> Hey guys, I am just happy to have xubuntu running on my old MacBook Pro :) It is so nice. It is very nice. A couple of things I need to configure are left, as the display and keyboard brightness keys, and want to program the play,back,forward keys to control VLC or whichever application you recommend to manage / reproduce music. This is the first time I install xubuntu, and I am very pleased so far
[22:35] <ikonijnen> If you have something to share or a similar setup I would be grateful if you could share tips or insights.
[23:09] <useanalias> Hello! Beginning xubuntu user here. I'm trying to add a PPA for installing bitcoin core and for some reason it can't find the repository. I've run apt-add-repository for the PPA, but when I apt-get the package associated it can't find it.
[23:09] <useanalias> s/find the repository/find the package associated
[23:09] <Noskcaj> useanalias, run sudo apt-get update first
[23:09] <useanalias> Thanks Noskcaj!
[23:10] <useanalias> Also (very beginnerish question) but what is a good technique for freeing a window that gets caught under a panel in xfce?
[23:11] <Noskcaj> useanalias, right click the name then select "move"
[23:11] <useanalias> Thanks.
[23:11] <Noskcaj> I've had the bug too, never looked into getting it fixed though
[23:11] <useanalias> Hahaha - thanks a million Nokscaj.  :)
[23:16] <useanalias> Hello again! Apologies for jumping out like that, but apt-get update didn't fix the issue :-/ - anything else that I might be missing?
[23:17] <useanalias> It says "no ultimately trusted keys found" - then "total number processed:1 imported:1
