[02:30] <RedStackk> Hello. I am attempting to install Xubuntu on my apple imac i7. I plan on reformatting the drive completely and install from there. I do not wish to dual-boot with any other operating system. I would like to know if this is possible.
[02:31] <holstein> !mac
[02:31] <RedStackk> thank you
[02:32] <holstein> RedStackk: i found, i needed refit, even though i only wanted linux on the mac
[02:33] <RedStackk> before i go, does this sound like a decent plan? should it run linux well?
[02:34] <holstein> RedStackk: nothing about linux will prevent that
[02:36] <RedStackk> thanks for the info. once i install ubuntu would i be able to install xubuntu? very new to this sort of thing.
[02:37] <holstein> you can install xfce, or xubuntu-desktop.. whatever yo ulike
[02:37] <holstein> !info
[02:37] <holstein> ^ this is a minimial iso that you may prefer as a base..
[02:37] <holstein> !mini
[02:38] <David-A> RedStackk: or install xubuntu from the start, instead of ubuntu.
[02:39] <RedStackk> cool. I may be back later with any questions i can not find answers to on my own
[02:39] <RedStackk> thanks!

[08:19] <cyborgcygnus> Trying to full screen a ubuntu virtual machine in Hyper V on Windows, anybody know a solution?
[10:22] <lindo> Hi everyone
[10:23] <lindo> I have a strange issue with my screen not waking up when I unplug and plug it back.
[10:23] <cfhowlett> !details | lindo
[10:24] <lindo> If I'm in the login screen, I can unplug my hdmi cable, plug it back, and I'll see the same thing as before
[10:24] <svetlana> and what is that "same thing"?
[10:24] <lindo> When I'm logged into xfce, if I unplug my screen and plug it back, the screen does not receive signal and stays black unless I type xrandr --auto
[10:25] <lindo> the "same thing" is the window asking my password..
[10:25] <lindo> so it looks like GDM does nothing special when I unplug/plug (which is fine), but XFCE turns off some things and does not turn them back on..
[10:26] <lindo> I don't know how to investigate this :-)
[10:27] <lindo> any ideas?
[10:28] <lindo> I was in the "known issues"section of the ubuntu wiki: Xfce4 Power Manager does not restore screen power
[10:28] <lindo> but in my case, I'm not suspending the computer or anything.. I just unplug and plug back my HDMI
[10:29] <lindo> I don't even want auto detection and configuration, I just want to see my desktop again
[10:31] <lindo> do you guys know which log I should check to find the culprit?
[10:31] <lindo> I don't think it's a dpms issue because if I type xset dpms force on after replugging the screen it does nothing.. the only thing that wakes the screen is xrandr
[10:32] <knome> which xubuntu version
[10:32] <lindo> 14.04
[10:32] <knome> ok, then GDM should have nothing to do with it...
[10:33] <lindo> is it lightdm?
[10:33] <knome> yes
[10:35] <lindo> correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm in the desktop and I click on "lock screen" from the menu, it brings me back to lightdm?
[10:35] <knome> that's light-locker
[10:36] <lindo> and is it part or integrated into lightdm? it looks exactly the same as the login screen
[10:36] <knome> no, it's a different piece of software. yes, it's meant to look the same...
[10:37] <knome> lindo, http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/
[10:38] <lindo> well, the funny thing, if I'm in lightdm or light-locker, I can unplug my hdmi, plug it back, and I'll see the same image I was seeing before unplugging.
[10:38] <lindo> thanks for the link, it looks like lightdm / light-locker are running on vt8 whereas xfce runs on vt7
[10:38] <lindo> maybe there is a different x config..
[10:51] <xubuntu8964> Hello! I need some help with my USB mouse. It's stuttering, especially when moving it slowly. Running an updated Xubuntu 14.04. I've tried on two different machines now. One laptop and one stationary. The touchpad on the laptop works great, no stuttering at all. Any ideas?
[10:53] <xubuntu8964> I have tried different polling rates, updating gpu and chipset drivers, USB 3 and 2, different slots. Reloading internal usb-hubs and so on.
[10:57] <xubuntu8964> also, wacom tablet moves just fine, it's just the mouse. Works great in Windows.
[11:18] <freak__> hey guys, I need little help
[11:18] <bazhang> !ask | freak__
[11:18] <freak__> how can i enable guest account in xubuntu 14.04
[11:19] <freak__> and how can i set it up to run at boot
[11:35] <freak__> !ask | how can i enable guest account in xubuntu 14.04
[11:36] <freak__> !patience
[12:34] <xubuntu924> I cant find the brightness settings
[12:36] <knome> i'm pretty sure they just did.
[13:40] <xubuntu473> r
[13:43] <xubuntu473> I have a problem with xubuntu 14.04. When I turn the laptop stays on the blue screen for more than 5 minutes before shutting off completely
[13:45] <holstein_> xubuntu473: when you turn off? or turn on?
[13:46] <xubuntu473> turn off
[13:47] <xubuntu473> is left wondering with blue screen and logo xubuntu
[13:48] <holstein_> xubuntu473: are you up to date with upgrades?
[13:50] <xubuntu473> my laptop is an acer travelmate 4000 with Pentium M 705, 512MB RAM and ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700/64MB
[13:50] <xubuntu473> yes
[13:51] <xubuntu473> I just installed xubuntu 14.04 and I updated after
[13:51] <holstein_> xubuntu473: you may need to have realistic expecations for the hardware.. i mean, i realize that is slow, and you can try "sudo halt" in a terminal and see if these are messages.. but, that is quite low ram
[13:54] <xubuntu473> and as this choke. I am new to linux and have installed to learn.
[13:57] <cfhowlett> xubuntu473 suggest you test lubuntu.  It's optimized for lower spec and old hardware
[13:58] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu
[13:58] <xubuntu473> ok thanks will try with lubuntu
[14:01] <cfhowlett> xubuntu473 quick and easy test: sudo apt-get install lxde              logout.  choose lubuntu or lxde session.  login.            lxde is desktop environment.  If you like it, consider fully installing lubuntu.
[14:30] <arshavin> why is font rendering bad in xubunntu
[14:30] <arshavin> Just comng from months of arch xfce4 I had awesome font rendering
[14:31] <ochosi> feel free to propose improvements
[14:31] <ochosi> but personally, i think font rendering in xubuntu is fine
[14:31] <arshavin> yeah its not too bad considering when i started using arch
[14:32] <ochosi> so which settings specifically differed?
[14:33] <arshavin> well I followed a very simple blog that created aan .Xresources  file with font settings in user directory and another one was created in /etc/fonts/local.conf
[14:34] <arshavin> I believe the fonts are too sharp on xubuntu
[14:35] <arshavin> ubuntu has the best font rendering,in all distros that I ever use I always try to get to ubuntu kind of rendering
[14:36] <arshavin> anyway,arch being a rolling release I had to update too much so I am back to xubuntu for a while
[14:36] <cfhowlett> arshavin settings manager >appearance > fonts
[14:36] <arshavin> yeah I know that one
[14:37] <arshavin> xubuntu with compiz should rock as it did for me on arch
[14:38] <arshavin> any ways to improve apt-get,it is really slow compared to pacman
[14:39] <arshavin> I tried apt-fast but the ppas dont work for ubuntu 14.04
[14:41] <xangua> choosing your closest mirror should be enought, PPA's don't work¿ arshavin
[14:45] <arshavin> thanks @xangua I was thinking about trying that,will see
[15:31] <krysztal> Hi guys
[15:32] <arshavin> hi
[15:34] <krysztal> Quite weird question - does anyone have a chrome/chromium package from 6 months before?
[15:35] <arshavin> I used to keep old .deb packages,but recently got rid of the to free up some space
[15:35] <krysztal> Oh well :/
[15:36] <krysztal> From last update(and i've don't do updates for long time, because I dont use this computer daily), my chrome started to do this: http://i.imgur.com/BtNo5Zn.png
[15:38] <xubuntu166> hello
[15:38] <CarterM> is anyone there?
[15:39] <krysztal> Yeah
[15:40] <krysztal> Any ideas?
[16:04] <Peterb70> geez alot people saying nothing in here.  thats boring
[16:05] <knome> Peterb70, this channel is for support question only. you can join #xubuntu-offtopic for general chatter.

[17:20] <Guido1> hello. i have a little problem with the wiskerker menu. if i want to log of i do not get asked what i want to do, but get to the start screen
[17:24] <Guido1> As mentiones, i can shut down the computer. how can i fix it? (wiskerker menu)
[17:53] <MisterAcacia> Guido1: Open Settings > Session and Startup > General tab. Do you have Prompt on Logout enabled?
[17:56] <MisterAcacia> Guido1: Also, you can try right-clicking the Whisker menu > Properties > Behavior tab. For the Log Out option, mine says "xfce4-session-logout" and works correctly
[18:28] <xubuntu650> Hello everybody. I have a problem with booting of Xubuntu 14.04. Can someone help me?
[18:29] <Hedgework> xubuntu650: We don't know whether we can help until you tell us what the specific problem is.
[18:30] <xubuntu650> I'll take a screenshot
[18:32] <xubuntu650> http://oi62.tinypic.com/9zlht4.jpg
[18:33] <Hedgework> I speak English, so that screenshot is of no help to me to help you.
[18:33] <xubuntu650> It says There have been found some errors checking my disk storage
[18:34] <Hedgework> That is non-specific...are you sure that's a precise translation?
[18:34] <Hedgework> In theory, the developers should give more helpful error messages than that.
[18:35] <xubuntu650> well... it also says: "press F to fix, I to ignore, M for manual-repair"
[18:36] <Hedgework> Hmmm...Maybe it means that the disk itself has bad sectors or similar?  Did it just run checkdisk or something like that?
[18:38] <xubuntu650> Yes, it seems to be running something like that
[18:38] <xubuntu650> I'm running Xubuntu by VirtualBox
[18:39] <xubuntu650> The virtual machine has been giving problems for a while. Maybe I should check by myself the disk storage to discard that possibility
[18:39] <Hedgework> I have to run to a meeting (I'm at work) but I'll try to help when I get back if you give enough information to make that possible.  Consider reading http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[18:52] <maxnj> I'm not sure if this is more suited for #xubuntu-devel , but has anyone here got experience with Casper?
[18:55] <Unit193> What's the question?
[18:59] <maxnj> Hi Unit193. I'm building something like a "multi-boot"-DVD, which has ubuntu, xubuntu kubuntu and lubuntu on it (using SYSLINUX). The problem is that all OSes identify themselves as Ubuntu, when booted up.
[19:04] <maxnj> For example, when starting Xubuntu, it says "Welcome to Ubuntu".
[19:08] <Unit193> Alright, now how do you have this layed out?
[19:12] <maxnj> I know that Xubuntu would normally look in /.disk/info to determine that it actually is Xubuntu. On my DVD however, the info file is in /os/xubuntu/.disk/info, so Xubuntu doesn't pick it up.
[19:14] <maxnj> Now to my question: Is it possible to manually point Xubuntu to the info file?
[19:23] <P1510> hello everyone
[19:24] <P1510> i have a tiny problem i was hoping someone could help me with
[19:24] <P1510> i have a fujitsu p1510 laptop and i cant get the touchscreen to work.
[19:24] <P1510> all the guides stop at x/ubuntu 12
[19:24] <P1510> and i have 14
[19:25] <P1510> everytime i try and follow a guide it fails
[19:25] <P1510> am i missing something obvious?
[19:43] <Unit193> maxnj: It's in the casper scripts, in /usr/share/ iirc.  Not really the easiest thing to edit.  I'd recommend just passing along boot args to assign what you want.  Where do you want these strings edited?
[19:45] <Unit193> username=xubuntu userfullname=Xubuntu, etc.
[19:47] <maxnj> Unit193: Well, I tried that and it also applies these options (machine name & username are both xubuntu), but it still says "Welcome to Ubuntu"
[19:48] <Unit193> maxnj: What is "it"?
[19:48] <maxnj> Unit193: Sorry, the Xubuntu Live-System of course.
[19:49] <maxnj> This is what it should look like: http://i1.wp.com/desktoplinuxreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Xubuntu-13.10-Try-or-Install.jpg
[19:50] <Unit193> Ah, so 'maybe-ubiquity'.
[19:50] <maxnj> But instead there#s just 'Ubuntu' and no link for the release notes
[19:51] <maxnj> Unit193: Yes, it's maybe-ubiquity! Sorry for not clarifying
[19:52] <Unit193> Sorry, not done a ton with that, it's more black magic to me.  You could search the code though.
[19:55] <maxnj> Unit193: Which code would it be? I already edited the strings in the Casper scripts in the initrd.lz, so I don't always have to do 'username=xubuntu userfullname=Xubuntu'. But I still have to copy the .disk folder to the root of the DVD, which is a problem, because when I start Lubuntu (or Kubuntu or Ubuntu) it will identify itself as Xubuntu.
[20:42] <xubuntu440> Hey guys, is there a reason I can't delete items from menulibre?
[20:48] <xubuntu440> anyone?
[20:49] <ochosi> there are a few known issues in menulibre
[20:49] <ochosi> so this might be one of them
[20:49] <ochosi> we are in the process of getting the fixed package into trust
[20:49] <ochosi> y
[20:49] <xubuntu440> Not being able to delete any of the default menu items?
[20:49] <ochosi> but i can't help you specifically now, so...
[20:49] <knome> haven't seen that.
[20:50] <knome> just hide them.
[20:50] <knome> i guess that's the right way to do it anyway, the normal user with normal permissions can't remove the default menu entries from the root-owned directories
[20:51] <xubuntu440> Weird, once I made a change, like turning on and off hiding, then I get the option of deletion
[20:51] <xubuntu440> Just for that menu item though
[20:51] <knome> the deletion then deletes the modified item, not the default one
[20:52] <xubuntu440> Interesting
[20:52] <knome> as i said, the right way is to mark the items with "hide" on
[20:52] <xubuntu440> knome: That's what I'll do, thanks
[20:52] <knome> this is in a way expected and logical, and using the right terms
[20:52] <xubuntu440> This is only effective for the current user right?
[20:52] <knome> yep
[20:52] <xubuntu440> Cool, thanks.
[22:42] <oneof3> hello i jus installed updates to the LTS and it gives me ascreen "Configuring grub-pc". I have never seen this before. I have otions to install package maintainer version or other options. What should i do?
