| shay_shay | i seem to have disabled the screen lock (power manager and light locker) and its still coming on? any ideas? | 04:40 |
| jp__ | Have you look in the Settings Manager - Settings Editor ? | 04:40 |
| shay_shay | it just confirms the same settings that i set elsewhere | 04:42 |

| jp__ | shay_shay, what is the Screen Lock ? | 04:49 |
| jp__ | I misread, I think you were talking about the Num Lock | 04:50 |
| shay_shay | testing it now | 04:51 |
| shay_shay | i toggled the switch in case it was out of stnc | 04:52 |

| shay_shay | your screen has a password when you return from sleep? | 04:54 |
| shay_shay | screen lock. notice how it doesnt lock the keyboard or the mouse? | 04:55 |

| byt3bl33d3r | hey guys | 07:16 |
| byt3bl33d3r | i can't seem to figure out how to get wmfs to start | 07:17 |
| james0r3 | the West Midlands Fire Service? | 07:20 |
| james0r3 | ahh 3rd result. Windows Manager From Scratch. | 07:20 |
| byt3bl33d3r | lol | 07:21 |
| byt3bl33d3r | yep the latter | 07:21 |
| james0r3 | never used it, but is there perhaps a wmfs --replace? | 07:21 |
| byt3bl33d3r | nope already checked | 07:22 |
| james0r3 | you edited your xfce4-session.xml and logged in and out? | 07:22 |
| byt3bl33d3r | yep that too | 07:22 |
| james0r3 | what do you get? WM-less? | 07:22 |
| james0r3 | i had issues while trying out WM where my session was saving previous instances of WMs because i had inadvertently checked save session on logout | 07:23 |
| james0r3 | kind of a bonehead move but thought i'd mention that in case that's your flub up | 07:23 |
| byt3bl33d3r | i just get the mouse cursor | 07:24 |
| byt3bl33d3r | and the save session on logout is unticked | 07:24 |
| james0r3 | no decorations on windows? | 07:24 |
| byt3bl33d3r | nothing just the mouse cursor | 07:25 |
| james0r3 | yeah not sure. you following an installation guide of any kind? here's Arch's https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WMFS#Installation | 07:26 |
| byt3bl33d3r | tried that too ! | 07:27 |
| byt3bl33d3r | the damn thing wont start | 07:28 |
| byt3bl33d3r | its wierd | 07:28 |
| james0r3 | bummer, yeah that's one of those things i'm just too lazy to troubleshoot. maybe someone else in here will have some exp with it | 07:28 |
| adrenaline_ | I bet there is something in the logs | 07:36 |
| adrenaline_ | tail -100 /var/log/syslog | 07:36 |

| knome | svetlana, mount /dev/sdb1 /pick/a/mount/point | 08:38 |
| svetlana | knome: i suspect it's already mounted though, how do i check? | 08:39 |

| svetlana | gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1001/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=user) | 08:51 |
| svetlana | how do i get rid of that? | 08:51 |
| svetlana | nothing about sdb.. will it complain if i misread and tried to mount twice? | 08:52 |
| knome | just leave the gvfs mount be | 08:52 |
| knome | it will probably complain, but no harm will be done | 08:53 |
| knome | but if mount doesn't tell you it's mounted, then it's not | 08:53 |
| svetlana | I copied data from a usb flash drive somewhere and now I'd like to unmount it. `umount /pick/a/mount/point`, right? | 09:01 |
| knome | yes | 09:04 |
| svetlana | is it normal that the 'point' directory still exists (and is empty) after that? | 09:06 |

| havane31 | hi, i need some help to activate sound on my xubuntu 14.04 | 10:58 |
| Wikibear | Sound via HDMI? | 11:08 |
| havane31 | yes Wikibear | 11:11 |
| xubuntu596 | Hello, I have the xubuntu 14.04 in a netbook connected to the tv to see movies, etc. the problem is that after 10 minutes (+-) the screen turns black and I need to put the login password. Its very irritating. Can anyone help? | 11:14 |
| svetlana | check player settings or screensaver settings to disable screensaver | 11:14 |
| svetlana | how do i suspend from commandline please, i don't have gnome running | 11:15 |
| Wikibear | There are many issues with sound and HDMI... I tested it all. It's recommend to install the latest graphic drivers | 11:16 |
| svetlana | hi | 11:16 |
| Wikibear | hi | 11:16 |
| svetlana | i forgot a question mark; last line was a question | 11:16 |
| Wikibear | if you get a black screen, then desable screensaver in xubuntu. | 11:17 |

| Wikibear | There will be no reinit after screen connection... How can i fix this? I try to set xorg.conf with no luck | 11:19 |
| havane31 | it is working now Wikibear | 11:19 |
| Wikibear | Yes sounds good :) | 11:20 |
| havane31 | i had to launch nvidia x config | 11:20 |
| Wikibear | jip in most cases no sound with HDMI its a driver problem | 11:20 |
| havane31 | strange behavior indeed | 11:21 |
| Wikibear | If you google "ubuntu no HDMI sound" you will find mass on entrys ;) | 11:21 |
| svetlana | "google it yourself" - that's not how support works :) | 11:22 |
| Wikibear | Yes thats right but you can see that i help him | 11:22 |
| svetlana | i don't know though so we may have to wait a bit for someone to show up | 11:22 |
| havane31 | thank you Wikibear | 11:25 |
| Wikibear | no problem glad that i can help you | 11:26 |

| === xubuntu is now known as Guest53847 | ||
| EugeneBandit | Wikibear: window decorations preference menu ? | 12:13 |
| Guest53847 | when i install a new package for example vlc it automatically becomes default, why? can i stop that? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | Guest53847 nope. VLC doesn't become the default media player unless you tell it to | 12:14 |
| Guest53847 | cfhowlett, i just tested in livecd. and it's not only vlc. If i install for example gtkpod which has a dependancy of ajunda (i cant remember the exact name) it becomes default file manager | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | Guest53847 liveCD? pretty sure native install has a different behavior pattern. but you can always set file properties: open with ... | 12:17 |
| Guest53847 | well i dont wanna do that everytime i install something | 12:20 |
| Guest53847 | anyway thanks | 12:22 |
| Wikibear | how can i reset the complete window settings and themes back to default? | 12:22 |
| Dragon64 | Wikibear: http://askubuntu.com/questions/224006/resetting-xfce-panels-to-default-settings | 12:55 |
| Wikibear | killed now xfe4 home folder now the bars are not black but buttons are missing | 13:03 |
| Dragon64 | log out and back in? if so, try switching themes and then swithcing back | 13:05 |
| cfhowlett | Wikibear extreme measure but ... delete /Home/.config/xfce4 | 13:07 |
| cfhowlett | Wikibear logout/login and you should see defaults | 13:07 |
| Wikibear | jip i have deleted | 13:23 |
| Wikibear | but that wont work | 13:23 |
| Wikibear | no buttons close maximize minimize | 13:23 |
| GridCube | Wikibear, press alt-f2 and type xfwm4 --replace | 13:25 |
| Wikibear | wont work | 13:26 |
| Wikibear | i've tryed this and the desktop reset short but its still all the same | 13:27 |
| GridCube | Wikibear, press the windows key and T, in the terminal type sudo apt-get update and the sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 13:28 |
| Wikibear | xubuntu-desktop is installed | 13:31 |
| Wikibear | and newest version | 13:31 |
| GridCube | mmm | 13:34 |
| Wikibear | jip its stupid | 13:34 |
| Wikibear | killed sessions too | 13:34 |
| Wikibear | the title bar is light visible but not much no title no buttons | 13:35 |
| Dragon64 | Wikibear, can you put a screen shot in pastebin? | 13:38 |
| Wikibear | yes will do | 13:43 |
| Wikibear | chromium has buttons... | 13:43 |
| Wikibear | but not terminal window | 13:43 |
| Wikibear | will send | 13:43 |
| Wikibear | http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3697/wyjzlgo5_jpg.htm | 13:49 |
| Dragon64 | so, chromium can use its own widget set instead of the system default. | 13:50 |
| Dragon64 | so that might explain that, one sec | 13:51 |
| Dragon64 | so if you go to settings > window manager, you should be able to change the widget style. Try a couple different ones and see if the widgets re-appear | 13:52 |
| Wikibear | no dont came up choose another theme and its still the same | 13:54 |
| Dragon64 | hmm wow something really broken. well lets find out if this is a system or user account issue. Can you create a new user and login to that account? If its particular to the first user account it should be fine. if not its probly a systemwide issue | 13:56 |
| Wikibear | rgr stby | 13:56 |
| Wikibear | hm | 14:03 |
| Wikibear | how can i change the user? | 14:03 |
| Dragon64 | did you add a new one? you should be able to logout and log in as the new user | 14:03 |
| Dragon64 | not sure that switch use is available any longer | 14:04 |
| Wikibear | yes logout login is missing | 14:04 |
| Dragon64 | oooo | 14:04 |
| Dragon64 | one sec | 14:04 |
| Dragon64 | alt-f2 xfce4-session-logout | 14:05 |
| Wikibear | strg alt del? | 14:05 |
| Dragon64 | might work too | 14:06 |
| Wikibear | oh man thats boring... black screen thats all what happening | 14:07 |
| Wikibear | my hdmi error -.- | 14:07 |
| Dragon64 | o | 14:07 |
| Dragon64 | does ctrl-alt-f2 bring you to a terminal window? | 14:08 |
| Wikibear | no odro is off | 14:08 |
| Wikibear | ... | 14:08 |
| Dragon64 | o | 14:08 |
| Dragon64 | might have to reboot | 14:08 |
| Wikibear | no | 14:10 |
| Wikibear | the odro stops working if i logout | 14:10 |
| Wikibear | :) | 14:10 |
| Wikibear | i think best way is to kill installation and make a complete new one... | 14:11 |
| Wikibear | thanks dragon | 14:12 |
| Dragon64 | np | 14:13 |
| Wikibear | otherwise can i deinstall x complete and reinstall? | 14:14 |
| Dragon64 | you can sudo apt-get purge xfce4* from the command line and then reinstall | 14:14 |
| Wikibear | will try it out | 14:14 |
| Wikibear | ok reboot work thats the first step | 14:20 |

| xubuntu122 | on the cell | 17:29 |
| Hedgework | hmmm I've never used one, but first I'd try plugging it in via usb | 17:29 |
| Hedgework | it may be seen as a mass storage device | 17:30 |
| xubuntu122 | yea,i did all that,and got to open with a whole bunch of apps and thats where i got lost ,what app to open storage device in | 17:31 |
| Hedgework | thunar, the file browser, is probably easiest | 17:33 |
| xubuntu751 | hey Hedgework could you help me too ? | 17:34 |
| xubuntu122 | yeaaa? i did the browsing thing,,,,i need to what app to open the device in | 17:35 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu122: thunar should cause it to auto-mount if that's what you mean | 17:36 |
| wilsonjl3 | when plug my headphones in the sound comes from my headphones AND the speaker built into my laptop, how do i fix it? | 17:36 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu751: Sorry, I try not to do stuff like that on xubuntu...I run a source-based distro when I need to custom gompile system services | 17:37 |
| Hedgework | wilsonjl3: have you chegked pulseaudio settings | 17:38 |

I tried every single possible solution to compile it but all of them leads me to error when trying to {make}/compile alsa driver :/ | 17:43 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu122: there's a gui printer setup in your control panel try that first | 17:43 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu122: if it doesn't work I'll show you alternatives | 17:44 |
| xubuntu122 | thanx | 17:44 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu751: okay, so can we back up and make sure you really need custom alsa? | 17:45 |
| Hedgework | could be an XY problem | 17:45 |
| xubuntu751 | Hedgework: I think so because last time I installed xubuntu only custom alsa resolved the problem | 17:46 |
| Hedgework | Right, but there may be an easier solution now. | 17:47 |
| Hedgework | things change | 17:47 |
| Hedgework | talking to work people bbiab | 17:47 |
| xubuntu122 | ok i'm stupid,,,where's control panel? | 17:49 |
| xubuntu751 | I tried but the best solution by now was working mic but with a lot of noise and I couldn't barely hear my voice | 17:49 |
| xubuntu751 | I could* | 17:50 |
| xubuntu751 | last time this was the solution https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AA1/Fixes | 17:50 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu751: ummm in the menu somewhere...sorry I don't use the default gui so I don't know it well...might be galled settings or somethitg | 17:56 |
| Hedgework | xubuntu751: what version of xubuntu did you upgrade to 14.04 from? Did you do a clean install or in-place upgrade? What make & model is your audio gard? is the mic a discrete unit or a headset? analog or USB? | 17:58 |

| kingplusplus | pleaase how do i get back the volume and network icon back in status bar at the top right hand corner? | 22:08 |
| xangua | kingplusplus: did you manually remove them? | 22:10 |
| kingplusplus | xangua, i think i did (not sure) | 22:10 |
| T60 | Does anyone here know how to change the background in lightdm? I changed the config file and set background = to my file location, but for some reason, the login backgorund only changed for the guest user and not me. | 22:11 |
| xangua | If you did, just add the indicator to your panel as any other widget kingplusplus | 22:11 |
| kingplusplus | its not found in preference when i rightclick | 22:11 |
| Unit193 | T60: Because it's using the accountservice background as set by xfdesktop. | 22:11 |
| T60 | Unit193: how does one stop that | 22:12 |
| xangua | Indicator menu I believe is called | 22:12 |
| Unit193 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1306362 | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1306362 in lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) "AccountsService conflicts with configured logon background" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:13 |
| kingplusplus | xangua, the indicator is missing | 22:15 |
| T60 | Unit193: I tried some of the fixes like disabling the guest account and doing chmod, but none of them worked. | 22:16 |
| Unit193 | T60: No, but it'll be fixed in the next release. | 22:16 |
| T60 | Unit193: well that's a shame :/ | 22:16 |
| T60 | Also I do have another problem, I cannot restart Xubuntu, or else it'll lead me to a permanent black screen (until I force shut down). I think this has something to do with me adding "nomodeset" in grub. Shutdown even breaks every once in a while as well. Even though I changed the grub file and did update-grub, I still have to do a hard shut down, press e in grub, scroll all the way down and change to back to nomodeset, even though I've changed it before. | 22:19 |
| ochosi | T60: wait, how is fixing something in the next release a shame? | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | What are you editing in order to change the boot option in grub? | 22:20 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: That it's not going to be fixed in this one. | 22:20 |
| T60 | ochosi: I was saying it's a shame b/c I cannot do anything about it. | 22:20 |
| ochosi | but it's always going to be fixed in the next release :> | 22:20 |
| ochosi | if there is a bug/missing feature | 22:20 |
| ochosi | actually it has been like that for ages | 22:20 |
| ochosi | basically since the feature was introduced, which was at least two or three releases ago | 22:21 |
| T60 | Unit193: I run "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" then change one of the lines to "nomodeset" | 22:21 |
| ochosi | (also, using the daily PPA is a workaround, at your own risk) | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is the one to change, then check if it matches /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 22:22 |
| T60 | Wait, I did the first part, I never even saw the second part before. I'll fix that right now... | 22:22 |
| T60 | Unit193: grub.cfg matches with the changes that I have made | 22:24 |
| Unit193 | T60: So, if the boot option doesn't match this, you have grub installed from another distribution, don't you? :) | 22:25 |
| T60 | Wait, I said it does match? | 22:25 |
| Unit193 | T60: You said grub.cfg matches /etc/default/grub, which does not match the boot up screen. | 22:26 |
| T60 | It matches sometimes, then other times I have to go in and change it myself, but I cannot possibly have another grub installed because I formatted my HDD getting rid of Arch forever. Arch brings bad memories... | 22:27 |
| T60 | Unit193: or did I miss something here? Another weird thing that happens is that this happens to me when I log out and log back in: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q1bg9qP_qic/maxresdefault.jpg | 22:31 |
| Unit193 | I'd call that an interesting one. | 22:32 |
| T60 | and I don't mean that image shows up haha, I mean my display goes through color distortion. | 22:33 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, I got that part. :P | 22:34 |
| T60 | haha yeah | 22:34 |
| T60 | Also my computer is almost 9 years old if that counts for anything. | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | I've had issues with my 82845G/GL, but a little different than that. | 22:37 |
| T60 | Interesting, have you fixed all the issues though? | 22:37 |
| Unit193 | Forced it in true color, disabled xfwm compositor, etc. at least fixed the majority of them. | 22:38 |
| T60 | Dang, I'm going to try and test something brb | 22:39 |
| T60 | Unit193: I'm back and I think I know the issue. | 23:29 |
| ssarah | hei guys | 23:52 |
| ssarah | im trying to share my files on my lan for both windows and linux users | 23:52 |
| ssarah | how do i do this? | 23:52 |
| Unit193 | Use samba. | 23:52 |
| ssarah | i thought ubuntu had samba integrated in it? | 23:56 |
| ssarah | not xubuntu | 23:56 |
| ssarah | ? | 23:59 |
