[03:40] Would anyone know what the default cursor theme is in 14.04? [05:03] pretty sure default is DMZ white [07:21] hi [07:27] I just installed xubuntu on a 2007 machine with 1 gb ram and very old video card I install xubuntu-desktop? [07:27] kubuntu-desktop* [07:38] ther is an italian users [07:40] !it | samuraiRM [07:40] samuraiRM: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [07:40] im banned [07:40] im flooding error [07:41] i copy and paste very long word [07:41] You should use something like pastebin for that and link it instead. [07:41] pastebin tank you [07:41] You're welcome :) [07:42] Also, guys, is there any way to set the VIs (1-6) text to be bigger? [07:43] I'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] The text is so tiny! [07:43] i have installed kubuntu-desktop but graphic interface icons is not change beacause? [07:45] Possibly, 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? [07:48] i restart the machine [07:54] Hello khor_ :) [07:57] Do you know if there's a way to enlarge the text in the VIs? [08:25] limelight: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/173220/how-do-i-change-the-font-or-the-font-size-in-the-tty-console [08:40] Awesome, thanks :D I'll have a look-see [09:00] Ah, I've fixed my problem, but now I can't see most of the IM screen XD [09:00] Thanks though! This really helped :D === Golynx- is now known as solarioz === Guido is now known as Guest32626 [10:23] hoe kan ik een (netwerk)scanner toevoegen? [10:24] *oh, sorry, how can i add a (netwoork)scanner? [10:24] Guest32626: scanner for what? [10:25] what should it scan? [10:25] baizon: documents, pictures etc. [10:26] it's a printer - scanner combination. the printer part is working, but I ddon't know how to activate the scanner === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [10:42] !info simple-scan | Guest32626 [10:42] Guest32626: simple-scan (source: simple-scan): Simple Scanning Utility.

[10:46] Guest32626: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:46] bazhang: okee, i have simple scan, but how do i add the scanner? [10:48] try starting simple-scan with a document in the scanner [10:49] bazhang: if i open simple-scan it says "no scanner" found [10:50] it's also conected on a different computer [10:50] it would need to be connected [10:50] it's in a network and the printer part of it works [10:51] (samba printer) [10:51] the odds of a combo printer/scanner with the scanner working on a network are pretty low [10:52] okee, means i have to switch between the computers etc. ... [10:53] depends on how important the scanning part is, and again, there are no guarantees the scanner will work when directly connected [11:00] hi all, does anyone here use workrave? [11:01] somehow since we upgraded to 14.04 workrave starts up automagically, even though it's not in the startup config [11:01] !info workrave [11:01] workrave (source: workrave): Repetitive Strain Injury prevention tool.

Version 1.10.1-4 (trusty), package size 392 kB, installed size 1443 kB [11:01] also 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 removed [11:01] aka: workrave F's things up [11:01] perhaps it's meant to do that [11:07] bazhang: eh .. [11:11] rsi would demand it always be on, wouldn't it? [11:11] you could check either the manual or help page for it, to see whats up [11:28] how do i use the checksum to check if the downloaded distro is correct ? [11:28] md5sum [11:28] bazhang: it shouldn't start by itself. unless the user has configured it this way [11:28] garandil, how does that work ? [11:28] yoLo_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [11:28] until the upgrade workrave didn't start on login, so something has gone wrong [11:29] baizon, :) [11:29] and even still, when it starts it messes up the notification area by appearing 2-3 times in there [11:29] thanks baizon [12:27] bazhang: the computer to which it is conected is manly a server. so the keybord, mouse and screan are not stunderd conected.

[17:07] for what purpose [17:09] "view the wpa2 of a network"? [17:15] im tierd of cranking my neck at a 90 degree angle to look at it on the side of the modem and then get the loooooong password wrong [17:15] wpa2 is encrypted so y the need for sooo many numbers and letters????? [17:16] how are using wpa2 without a wireless card [17:16] +you [17:16] im not [17:16] one sec [17:16] what are you trying to accomplish then [17:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/7906569/ [17:18] Is Xubuntu failing to detect your wifi card? Or are you saying that you don't have one at all? [17:18] im trying to acomplish connecting my nook to the web co i can read a book. [17:18] Pici i dont have one at all [17:20] zacwalls: so what do you want Xubuntu support to help with? [17:20] understanding if i can access my wpa2 from eth0 network [17:22] zacwalls: it depends on your network topology, but typically with residential routers they are one in the same. [17:23] nope i have an Ethernet cord hooked into the modem via router. [17:23] im not hooking my router into my pc. [17:25] zacwalls: short answer: no. long answer: ##networking might have some suggestions on how to add a route for that. [17:25] since it really isn't a Xubuntu question. [17:26] okay thank you [17:38] I 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. [17:39] And 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] I have the correct layout in av VT, but not at the desktop. [17:40] xfce4-keyboard-settings is set to use "Default values for the system" [17:42] Kagee: How about you change that to the one you want then? :) [17:43] that soun ds like fixing the symptome and not the problem ... [17:44] (also, it didn't work, just tried) [17:53] Kagee: What keyboard layout is chosen when you log in (in the top panel)? [17:54] There is no selector for it in the top panel. [17:55] or do you mean _before_ i log in ? [17:55] Yep. :) [17:55] *checking* [17:58] nb (Norwegian) i chosen, but there are options for several English ones. [17:59] The install is two days old, and the problem started the first time i logged on. [18:01] I 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. [18:12] Kagee: 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? [18:13] There is only norwegian. [18:14] ... in "Settings Manager -> Keyboard", and it is set as default. [18:14] Well, right now it's not set as default, it set to use system wide settings. [18:14] But forcing it to norwegian didn't work. [18:28] Hey 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 :( [18:29] nime: Did you reboot or manually restart the DM? [18:29] nime: otherwise, it won't notice you added i3 (or at least didn't when I installed i3) [18:30] I've rebooted several times. Still, the only option I have is logging in (which defaults into XFCE). There's no button to choose DE [18:30] Kagee: Do you by any chance have iBus installed and running? [18:30] Hedgework: Is there a way to add i3 to it, then? [18:30] hang on let me look on my other maghine...working on this one so I can't log out [18:31] krytarik: how do i know? I have not knowingly installed it in the last two days. [18:32] Kagee: "dpkg -l ibus", and "ps -ef | grep '[i]bus". [18:33] *grep '[i]bus' [18:33] Hedgework: No problem, I'll wait :) [18:33] nime: 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 part [18:33] dpkg-query: no packages found matching ibus, and no output from ps/grep [18:33] Kagee: Ok, then not. :) [18:34] Hedgework: 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] nime: no gear in nte upper right area of the screen? [18:34] Hedgework: Nope [18:34] nime: are you missing that top bar entirely, or just the gear icon? [18:35] Just the icon [18:36] nime: is the user you are trying to log in with the administrator (first user, sudo access to everything) or another user? [18:36] Hedgework: It's my own user, who has sudo priviledges. [18:36] nime: but was it the first user created during install? [18:36] if not, we may need to look for a permissions issue [18:36] Hedgework: Yes, only user I've created. [18:37] okay, 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 :D [18:38] Hedgework: Thank you :) Yes, i3 rocks! [18:38] nime: oh, one last thing before I go...did you install via the meta package or something else? [18:38] Hedgework: You mean i3? I just did a sudo apt-get install i3 dmenu [18:40] nime: 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 issues [18:41] just a thought, and trying it is low-hanging fruit [18:41] ahh crap scratct that [18:41] I misread [18:41] i3 is the metapackage [18:41] :( [18:42] will look after my meeting when I'm not so scattered [18:42] ttyl :) [18:42] Hedgework: Thank you :) [18:42] np! === koegs_ is now known as koegs === aziz_ is now known as aziz [19:29] Kagee: 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? [19:33] krytarik: 14.04. [19:33] Ok, kind of thought so already. :) [19:35] Kagee: Another thing to check would be how it behaves when creating a new user and logging in what that, of course. [19:39] krytarik: "setxkbmap -query" http://paste.ubuntu.com/7907699/ , right after login. [19:40] the keyboard is english. after i ran "setxkbmap no", keyboard was norwegian, output from "setxkbmap -query" the same. [19:41] Kagee: Yeah, because how could it possible change :P - but nice that at least that works. :) [19:42] A new user has the same problem. [22:09] on xubuntu 14, should website files go in /html or in /www ? [22:10] greetings, I'v just installed 14.04 on a macbook 7,1 with broadcom wireless [22:11] i've tried all the drivers for broadcom but iwlist scan always returns "no scan results" [22:11] tried everything here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [22:12] any help? [22:13] iwlist wlan0 scanning [22:13] wlan0 No scan results [22:14] almost as if it is powered off, but macbook doesn't have a switch for that [22:29] no help because its broadcom or no help because no help? [22:30] !patience | GregBledsoe [22:30] GregBledsoe: 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/ [22:31] ok, thanks [22:32] tried 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 accidently [22:32] but no such switch on a mac [22:35] GregBledsoe: You might also try asking in #ubuntu, as this isn't exactly Xubuntu-specific. :) [22:35] i did :-) [22:35] nothing there either so far [23:10] n8 [23:30] new [23:31] old
