[00:00] abanabee7, how can we help? [00:00] wilsonjl3, open a terminal please [00:00] got one open already ;) [00:00] cool [00:00] Well, as I run Xubuntu the desktop starts messing up, like I start seeing graphics from before, like I was in a video chat at 11pm, and at 10 AM the next day i see those graphics pop up [00:01] abanabee7, do you turn your computer off between times? [00:01] and when I switch the workspace, they go away, only to come back. And if I mouse over them they return to the current stuff. No, this is all in one session [00:02] wilsonjl3, copy and paste the following line into the terminal [00:03] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio [00:04] abanabee7, sounds like a graphics card driver issue. are you current on the driver? [00:04] wilsonjl3, what that does is add the address to you sources list and import the security key to your system [00:05] so i update now? [00:05] ObrienDave, I don't really use the graphics drivers, I mean I use the opensource ones as that allows the system to be able to boot into other computers, which I often do. [00:05] also, this is like a random thing, it will go like a month without doing anything bad, then go thro cycles of it doing this. [00:05] wilsonjl3, now the ALWAYS important sudo apt-get update [00:06] thought so :) so i did it [00:06] wilsonjl3, ok, look on that page for the package name... [00:07] ObrienDave help abanabee7 first :) i can wait and it'd probably be easier [00:07] sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop [00:08] wilsonjl3, Thank you, i don't mind waiting either, as this is a recurring thing, and it is annoying, but not something that is a desperate thing [00:08] abanabee7, sorry, i am not sure how to help you other than recommend the drivers for your card. someone here can be of better assistance than i can :) [00:08] aha im just trying to figure out how to use netflix on here :P no big deal [00:08] (its installed, ObrienDave) [00:09] wilsonjl3, ok, what we installed is a custom WINE and the netflix viewer. it works pretty good [00:10] we only installed netflix-desktop and put in new repos? [00:10] didnt we? [00:10] yes, but part of the dependencies for this version of netflix is the custom WINE environment ;P [00:11] okay :3 [00:11] dependencies are almost always automatically installed [00:12] so i was just supposed to put that into the terminal, right? not click anything on this page? [00:12] abanabee7, you could also ask in #ubuntu about your graphics issue. be sure to mention you're using Xubuntu [00:12] wilsonjl3, yes, we did everything from the terminal [00:12] ok [00:13] so it should work now? [00:13] you should see a netflix icon under multimedia or graphics menu. i don't remember which [00:13] ObrienDave, true, I could go there. Tho i figured since it was Xubuntu that it was something about how XFCE is running [00:14] ask Unit193, they are our resident XFCE expert :_ [00:14] whisker menu fixed for 12.04 yet? [00:14] not working, its telling me to install, wich im guessing wont run on xubuntu :/ [00:15] Fall, not sure [00:15] install silverlight* [00:15] ObrienDave: it's slightly annoying :( [00:15] wilsonjl3, ok, hang on [00:15] okay :) [00:16] ObrienDave, would this show up in the logs in some way? I mean I wouldn't know exactly what to look for in the logs. Where can I go to talk to Unit193? [00:16] abanabee7, Unit193 is in this room but i think he's away right now :/ [00:17] Wilsonjl3, ahhhh, I can wait, I don't mind much. Do you know when he will be back? I don't want to miss him [00:17] wilsonjl3, in terminal... [00:17] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable [00:18] abanabee7, no idea sorry :( [00:18] sudo apt-get update [00:18] wilsonjl3, that's ok, time is not an issue, i stay up pretty late anyway lol [00:19] abanabee aha well thats good atleast [00:19] ObrienDave, its updating now [00:20] k, sec [00:20] its done but ill brb, sorry! :) [00:21] np [00:23] imback [00:25] sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi [00:25] brb [00:26] ok done [00:26] okay :) [00:33] im gonna go get some cereal [00:34] k [00:35] im back [00:35] me too!

What is the proper way to change xfce settings in the terminal? I want to change the number of virtual desktops for example and remove the "dock". [14:12] Is the proper way to edit xfwm4.xml? [14:23] six86, I doubt the proper way would be to edit that xfwm4.xml, i looked @ mine, and its got all empty settings in it, & i have a pretty customized desktop from default, but i culd b wrong [14:27] abanabee7: I just found xfconf-query [14:27] seems to be the way to go [14:28] six86, ahhh, thats cool. Thanks. when u asked i was like, ooo, i wonder that too, thanks for a tiny new thing :) [14:29] abanabee7: Now i just have to find out how to delete items [14:31] I have it [14:31] six86, i would imagine you change the value from true to false, or from 1 to 0, or something that would tell it that you don't want that value [14:32] -rR recursively resets values [14:32] abanabee7: It was about removing a panel. [14:34] six86, thats cool, i love how things like that can be, a simple command can change your system. Thanks for the new info [14:34] abanabee7: Yeah but my panel was not fully removed by this its stuck in the bottom now [14:35] abanabee7: "xfce4-panel -r" and after that the panel is gone [14:41] six86, wouldn't that mean the panel is returned to the top? cause you reset the value, then restarted it so that the changes show [14:41] there is nothing stated about panel-1 in xfconf anymore [14:42] but something is stillt here because tha GUI shows 2 panels... [14:43] Where does my porn save to on xubuntu? === Guest46058 is now known as ponbiki [18:15] Hi guys I have a problem with the screensaver, previously there were installed the default screensaver but I was unable to stop it to switch off the monitor after few minutes, a user help me to unistall it and install xscreensaver 5.15. It seems that the problem was fixed but now I have again the same problem, after only some minute The screen goes off. The strage thing is that xscreensaver is set to DOESN'T switch off and blank the scr [18:15] een after 6 minutes. Please give me some advice guys... [18:24] Mountain_R, sorry, any updates since it last worked? [18:25] overkill... but run sudo apt-get clean -y && apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get autoremove -y [18:28] Yes I have often done updates [18:29] MavKen, do I have to run that command as one only command? [18:29] yes [18:30] that is my goto command if something is out of whack (lazy man approach) [18:31] its a series of commands but one string so you dont have to enter separately [18:31] MavKen, I do it now, can u tell me how to copy from Xchat if you know it? [18:31] seems impossible on xchat, don't know why [18:37] highlight, control + c [18:37] I hate how chat doesnt have copy in rt click menu [18:38] shift control c of highlighted [18:39] ctrl+c worked thanks [18:39] the right click menu *does * have it, under window [18:39] xchat doesn't have it [18:41] #xchat will confirm [18:49] no, not under window [18:49] ctrl + c always works... just wondered why not included in rt click menu [18:50] copy/paste are in rt click window when in text entry field. just not on actual chat contents [18:51] highlighted--->shift control c works perfectly there [18:51] hahahaha.... when you highlight, it automatically copies [18:52] no need to cntrl c [18:52] try it [18:52] I have [18:52] just asked on #xchat [18:52] MavKen, I gave that command I will wait to check if worked, thanks. Can you please tell me what -y means? [18:52] so I learn [18:52] just means to answer yes [18:53] instead of each prompt asking y or n [18:53] ok got it [19:00] MavKen, it doesn't work it switch off again the monitor [19:00] uninstall then run sudo apt-get autoremove [19:00] reboot [19:02] from the ubuntu software centre is ok? [19:04] MavKen, i don't find any screensaver in the Ubuntu software center [19:04] I dont use a screensaver...so not sure where to go from there [19:05] i could try with: sudo apt-get remove screensaver [19:05] ? === Barnabas_ is now known as BarnabasDK [19:09] i found it it was simply xsceensaver [19:10] to get the superuser I use: sudo su [19:10] it is ok or not? [19:10] no [19:10] just sudo [19:11] just sudo don't gives me the superuser [19:12] yes it does [19:12] sudo apt-get remove packagename [19:13] but if i do sudo su it ask me 1 time the password forever [19:14] for all the terminal session [19:14] thats not correct [19:14] there is no root enabled [19:14] use sudo -i for a root shell, if you must [19:16] ok [19:17] thanks [19:18] np [19:27] hey guys, anyone know why it keeps telling me to install silverlight when i wanna watch netflix even though i have pipelight and silverlight 5.1 enabled? [19:28] sudo -i /usr/bash [19:28] ? [19:28] seems a bit harsh .. [19:28] /usr/bin/bash [19:28] or did I misunderstand? [19:29] is that for me? [19:29] more bazhang [19:29] ah [19:29] !netflix [19:29] If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop [19:29] sudo su - will actually run the login shell scripts as well afaik [19:30] and use the default (for root) shell [19:30] there's no root enabled [19:30] so you cannot sudo to root? [19:30] sudo -u root [19:30] I have uninstalled xscreensaver and the monitor still switch off.. how come? [19:30] what are you trying to accomplish [19:31] well nothing I just saw you arguing against sudo su - (for root) which I think is the nice way to get root in a system [19:32] ubuntu uses sudo alone [19:39] the difference between sudo -i and sudo su is that you get these 2 results: root@mypc:/home/mypc# and root@mypc:~# [19:39] inverted results, sorry [19:40] I dunno the difference between the two [19:41] but both works good as root === ponbiki is now known as Guest31840 [19:50] Mountain_R, one will run the login scripts (su method) the other will not [19:52] BarnabasDK, what's the difference [19:56] Mountain_R, normally when you log in a set of scripts are executed. the global ones, then .profile and perhaps .bashrc [19:56] su does that , sudo does not [19:56] afaik === Guest31840 is now known as ponpon [19:57] got it [20:14] i am going crazy, light locker and xscreensaver are uninstalled but still the screen switch off after 1 minute of inactivity, what is it? [20:15] guys, i was using external monitor on vga and now when i disconnect it i see blank screen, my initramfs says: http://wdp.elenx.net/zdjecia/IMAG0527.jpg [20:22] Mountain_R: There is "Power Manager" in the Settings Manager. :) [21:36] Hello, I'm trying to create a swapfile for the system using Gparted. I installed it using the software centre but I can't find the program to run it [21:42] What did you install? [21:44] groja: What did you install? [21:44] Gparted, I think I've found it and linix was a 2Gb swap file. [21:45] What does "linix was a 2GB swap file" mean? [21:45] Please click Xubuntu > Applications menu > System > Gparted [21:48] Its not listed in the system menu === ponpon is now known as ponbiki [21:54] groja: Please open a terminal. Enter 'sudo gparted'. [21:58] Is anyone familiar with running commands over ssh from a shell script. [21:58] ? [22:08] disregard [22:17] snuggyfoo, do you need help? [22:18] adrenaline_ I figured out I can do ssh user@domain 'command1; command2' [22:18] thanks though :) [23:07] hola.
