samuraiRMi copy and paste very long word07:41
limelightYou should use something like pastebin for that and link it instead.07:41
samuraiRMpastebin tank you07:41
limelightYou're welcome :)07:41
limelightAlso, guys, is there any way to set the VIs (1-6) text to be bigger?07:42
limelightI'm pretty new to linux in general and I'd like to familiarize myself with the terminal a bit better, so I figured the best way to do that were to immerse myself and not use the GUI unless absolutely necessary, but ...07:43
limelightThe text is so tiny!07:43
samuraiRMi have installed kubuntu-desktop but graphic interface icons is not change beacause?07:43
limelightPossibly, you've not started KDE at all. I'm no guru, but from what I understand you can actually have two installed, so you have to choose which one you use -- did you maybe see a drop down list during login?07:45
samuraiRMi restart the machine07:48
limelightHello khor_ :)07:54
limelightDo you know if there's a way to enlarge the text in the VIs?07:57
brainwashlimelight: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/173220/how-do-i-change-the-font-or-the-font-size-in-the-tty-console08:25
limelightAwesome, thanks :D I'll have a look-see08:40
limelightAh, I've fixed my problem, but now I can't see most of the IM screen XD09:00
limelightThanks though! This really helped :D09:00

Guest32626*oh, sorry, how can i add a (netwoork)scanner?10:24
baizonGuest32626: scanner for what?10:24
baizonwhat should it scan?10:25
Guest32626baizon: documents, pictures etc.10:25
Guest32626it's a printer - scanner combination. the printer part is working, but I ddon't know how to activate the scanner10:26

Guest32626ubottu: okee, i have simple scan, but how do i add the scanner?10:46
ubottuGuest32626: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)10:46

bazhangtry starting simple-scan with a document in the scanner10:48
Guest32626bazhang: if i open simple-scan it says "no scanner" found10:49
Guest32626it's also conected on a different computer10:50
bazhangit would need to be connected10:50
Guest32626it's in a network and the printer part of it works10:50
Guest32626(samba printer)10:51
bazhangthe odds of a combo printer/scanner with the scanner working on a network are pretty low10:51
Guest32626okee, means i have to switch between the computers etc. ...10:52
bazhangdepends on how important the scanning part is, and again, there are no guarantees the scanner will work when directly connected10:53
dreamerhi all, does anyone here use workrave?11:00
dreamersomehow since we upgraded to 14.04 workrave starts up automagically, even though it's not in the startup config11:01
bazhang!info workrave11:01
ubottuworkrave (source: workrave): Repetitive Strain Injury prevention tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.10.1-4 (trusty), package size 392 kB, installed size 1443 kB11:01
dreameralso it places double icons in the notification bar, which is odd. when you close the program it leaves one icon with menu there, which can't be removed11:01
dreameraka: workrave F's things up11:01
bazhangperhaps it's meant to do that11:01
dreamerbazhang: eh ..11:07
bazhangrsi would demand it always be on, wouldn't it?11:11
bazhangyou could check either the manual or help page for it, to see whats up11:11
yoLo_how do i use the checksum to check if the downloaded distro is correct ?11:28
garandilmd5sum11:28
dreamerbazhang: it shouldn't start by itself. unless the user has configured it this way11:28
yoLo_garandil, how does that work ?11:28
baizonyoLo_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM11:28
dreameruntil the upgrade workrave didn't start on login, so something has gone wrong11:28
garandilbaizon, :)11:29
dreamerand even still, when it starts it messes up the notification area by appearing 2-3 times in there11:29
yoLo_thanks baizon11:29
Guest32626bazhang: the computer to which it is conected is manly a server. so the keybord, mouse and screan are not stunderd conected.12:27

bazhangwhat are you trying to accomplish then17:16
zacwallshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7906569/17:17
PiciIs Xubuntu failing to detect your wifi card?  Or are you saying that you don't have one at all?17:18
zacwallsim trying to acomplish connecting my nook to the web co i can read a book.17:18
zacwallsPici i dont have one at all17:18
Picizacwalls: so what do you want Xubuntu support to help with?17:20
zacwallsunderstanding if i can access my wpa2 from eth0 network17:20
Picizacwalls: it depends on your network topology, but typically with residential routers they are one in the same.17:22
zacwallsnope i have an Ethernet cord hooked into the modem via router.17:23
zacwallsim not hooking my router into my pc.17:23
Picizacwalls: short answer: no.  long answer: ##networking might have some suggestions on how to add a route for that.17:25
Picisince it really isn't a Xubuntu question.17:25
zacwallsokay thank you17:26
KageeI set my keyboard layout to norwegian when i installed, but i have to manually run dpkg-reconfigure to set it to norwegian each and every time i log in.17:38
KageeAnd every time i run dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration it uses the norwegian ones as defaults, so i belive the problem might be another place.17:39
KageeI have the correct layout in av VT, but not at the desktop.17:39
Kageexfce4-keyboard-settings is set to use "Default values for the system"17:40
krytarikKagee: How about you change that to the one you want then? :)17:42
Kageethat soun ds like fixing the symptome and not the problem ...17:43
Kagee(also, it didn't work, just tried)17:44
krytarikKagee: What keyboard layout is chosen when you log in (in the top panel)?17:53
KageeThere is no selector for it in the top panel.17:54
Kageeor do you mean _before_ i log in ?17:55
krytarikYep. :)17:55
Kagee*checking*17:55
Kageenb (Norwegian) i chosen, but there are options for several English ones.17:58
KageeThe install is two days old, and the problem started the first time i logged on.17:59
KageeI tried selecting EN and then back to nb befor logging in, no change, keyboard is english after login and i have to run reconf->keyboard.18:01
krytarikKagee: Is there another keyboard layout than Norwegian set by default in "Settings Manager -> Keyboard", maybe US? And if so, did you try removing it when trying it through that way?18:12
KageeThere is only norwegian.18:13
Kagee... in "Settings Manager -> Keyboard", and it is set as default.18:14
KageeWell, right now it's not set as default, it set to use system wide settings.18:14
KageeBut forcing it to norwegian didn't work.18:14
nimeHey guys, can anyone help me? I just installed Xubuntu 14 onto my Laptop and installed the i3 window manager aswell, but it doesn't show up on the login manager, so I can't choose it. In fact, the login manager doesn't even have a DE chooser :(18:28
Hedgeworknime: Did you reboot or manually restart the DM?18:29
Hedgeworknime: otherwise, it won't notice you added i3 (or at least didn't when I installed i3)18:29
nimeI've rebooted several times. Still, the only option I have is logging in (which defaults into XFCE). There's no button to choose DE18:30
krytarikKagee: Do you by any chance have iBus installed and running?18:30
nimeHedgework: Is there a way to add i3 to it, then?18:30
Hedgeworkhang on let me look on my other maghine...working on this one so I can't log out18:30
Kageekrytarik: how do i know? I have not knowingly installed it in the last two days.18:31
krytarikKagee: "dpkg -l ibus", and "ps -ef | grep '[i]bus".18:32
krytarik*grep '[i]bus'18:33
nimeHedgework: No problem, I'll wait :)18:33
Hedgeworknime: both "i3" and "i3 (with debug log)" were added to my menu, right under "Xfce Session" and "Xubuntu Session"...are you missing the whole menu or just the i3 part18:33
Kageedpkg-query: no packages found matching ibus, and no output from ps/grep18:33
krytarikKagee: Ok, then not. :)18:33
nimeHedgework: I can't even choose a session. There's no button to do that. The only think I can do is log in. Nothing else.18:34
Hedgeworknime: no gear in nte upper right area of the screen?18:34
nimeHedgework: Nope18:34
Hedgeworknime: are you missing that top bar entirely, or just the gear icon?18:34
nimeJust the icon18:35
Hedgeworknime: is the user you are trying to log in with the administrator (first user, sudo access to everything) or another user?18:36
nimeHedgework: It's my own user, who has sudo priviledges.18:36
Hedgeworknime: but was it the first user created during install?18:36
Hedgeworkif not, we may need to look for a permissions issue18:36
nimeHedgework: Yes, only user I've created.18:36
Hedgeworkokay, then *probably* not perms...I have to run to a meeting, but I'll try to pop on and help between that and S&R practice...always happy to get more people using i3 :D18:37
nimeHedgework: Thank you :) Yes, i3 rocks!18:38
Hedgeworknime: oh, one last thing before I go...did you install via the meta package or something else?18:38
nimeHedgework: You mean i3? I just did a sudo apt-get install i3 dmenu18:38
Hedgeworknime: try uninstalling that and installing i3-wm instead...it's a meta package including i3, dmenu, and i3status (plus maybe i3lock) but the standalone i3 package may short you some needed config...ISTR it having issues18:40
Hedgeworkjust a thought, and trying it is low-hanging fruit18:41
Hedgeworkahh crap scratct that18:41
HedgeworkI misread18:41
Hedgeworki3 is the metapackage18:41
Hedgework:(18:41
Hedgeworkwill look after my meeting when I'm not so scattered18:42
Hedgeworkttyl :)18:42
nimeHedgework: Thank you :)18:42
Hedgeworknp!18:42
=== koegs_ is now known as koegs
=== aziz_ is now known as aziz
krytarikKagee: Fwiw, you should always be able to set the keyboard layout to Norwegian by running "setxkbmap no" in the Terminal, and run "setxkbmap -query" to get the current actual state of your keyboard settings. Also, what version of Xubuntu are you using actually?19:29
Kageekrytarik: 14.04.19:33
krytarikOk, kind of thought so already. :)19:33
krytarikKagee: Another thing to check would be how it behaves when creating a new user and logging in what that, of course.19:35
Kageekrytarik: "setxkbmap -query" http://paste.ubuntu.com/7907699/ , right after login.19:39
Kageethe keyboard is english. after i ran "setxkbmap no", keyboard was norwegian, output from "setxkbmap -query" the same.19:40
krytarikKagee: Yeah, because how could it possible change :P - but nice that at least that works. :)19:41
KageeA new user has the same problem.19:42
chakaon xubuntu 14, should website files go in /html or in /www ?22:09
GregBledsoegreetings, I'v just installed 14.04 on a macbook 7,1 with broadcom wireless22:10
GregBledsoei've tried all the drivers for broadcom but iwlist scan always returns "no scan results"22:11
GregBledsoetried everything here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx22:11
GregBledsoeany help?22:12
GregBledsoe iwlist wlan0 scanning22:13
GregBledsoewlan0     No scan results22:13
GregBledsoealmost as if it is powered off, but macbook doesn't have a switch for that22:14
GregBledsoeno help because its broadcom or no help because no help?22:29
krytarik!patience | GregBledsoe22:30
ubottuGregBledsoe: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/22:30
GregBledsoeok, thanks22:31
GregBledsoetried everything i can think of including compiling directly from broadcoms source from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php , but same results no matter what...   if I was on a PC I would suspect the keyboard switch to turn off wireless got hit accidently22:32
GregBledsoebut no such switch on a mac22:32
krytarikGregBledsoe: You might also try asking in #ubuntu, as this isn't exactly Xubuntu-specific. :)22:35
GregBledsoei did :-)22:35
GregBledsoenothing there either so far22:35
