[01:05] <jesse__> ^_^
[01:05] <jesse__> anyway, I have an idea
[01:06] <jesse__> Does anyone know how to use xubuntu?
[01:07] <jesse__> Very general question, I know, but I need to know how to use this thing...
[01:07] <Unit193> No, nobody around the world has ever figured out how to use it. ;)
[01:07] <jesse__> :)
[01:08] <jesse__> I'm watching a youtube vid on how to use irssi.
[01:08] <jesse__> The guy on youtube seems legit...
[01:08] <jesse__> Probably too legit to quit.
[01:09] <Unit193> http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi/
[01:09] <jesse__> Sooo, #xubuntu is pretty sparse.
[01:10] <jesse__> Cool, thanks Unit193.
[01:10] <Unit193> There's a few more good ones too if you needed.
[01:11] <Unit193> http://niklas.laxstrom.name/page/eng/irssi if you plan to have tons of channels.  Also, I recommend setting up CertFP or SASL to auth to the server.
[01:12] <Unit193> http://esaurito.net/blog/posts/2008/11/irssi_notify/ for notifications.  I use a modified version myself.
[01:15] <jesse__> Thanks again unit. New to this, so it helps.
[01:16] <Unit193> Sure.  While I greatly like irssi, there's more user friendly clients out there.
[01:16] <Unit193> !tab | Also, FYI
[01:17] <jesse__> The less friendly the better.
[01:17] <jesse__> I would say I'm a masochist.
[01:18] <Unit193> w3m for internet, alpine for email, newsbeuter for rss, irssi for IRC, bitlbee or maybe finch for IM, etc, etc.

[04:00] <xubuntu675> just randomly when im on it
[04:01] <ObrienDave> hmm, i don't know anything about chromebooks. try screensaver or power settings
[04:01] <Unit193> And if not there, nomodeset.
[04:02] <ObrienDave> !nomodeset
[04:03] <xubuntu675> i dont boot directly into xfce, first i go into the chromeos shell and type a command to start xubuntu
[04:07] <ObrienDave> 2 users in the chromebook channel??? oh my

[04:40] <ObrienDave> nope, no one home

[10:51] <arpad2> hello, I don't know why , but from time to time, 2-3 times a week the system doesn't accept input from the keyboard and the main menu button in the panel stops to work, including the restart or turn off button, so I can only shutdown the system from terminal and restart again, then the system behaves normally
[10:53] <ObrienDave> have you tried the REISUB key combo?
[10:54] <arpad2> ObrienDave: I don't know what isv REISUB
[10:55] <ObrienDave> it's a combination of keys that resets and reboots the system. look it up for more info.
[10:56] <arpad2> ok, even if I find it, the reoccurring unresponsive system remains
[10:57] <ObrienDave> basically hold right-alt and SysRq keys and then R-E-I-S-U-B a few seconds apart. that flushes disk cache and other things and reboots
[11:03] <arpad21> ObrienDave: yes, this combination restarted the system, though the input from the keyboard was accepted
[11:03] <arpad21> what is the command in terminal for a restart?
[11:07] <ObrienDave> not sure
[11:25] <sorinello> Hello. I have 2 questions about the XFCE interface settings. First is.. how do I configure XFCE so that if I click on the Firefox shortcut icon (manually added to panel) NOT to open another Firefox instance. This is also the same for all my other apps from the panel
[11:29] <ObrienDave> sorinello, not sure if you can do that
[11:31] <sorinello> ObrienDave: thanks. Also, is there a setting to allow moving the running apps in the panel ? Reorder them
[11:32] <ObrienDave> sorinello, you can move running apps to other workspaces, i have 20 of them LOL
[11:32] <sorinello> I have only one workspace, and I just want to reorder them on the taskbar
[11:33] <ObrienDave> right click on the taskbar, add items
[11:34] <ObrienDave> at the bottom you find workplace switcher, add that to your taskbar
[11:34] <ObrienDave> right click on the taskbar,panel, add items
[11:35] <sorinello> ObrienDave, : but I don't want more workspaces. I just want to reorder the taskbar (running apps) on my workspace
[11:36] <ObrienDave> hmm, good question, don't know, haven't tried. LOL i like the 20 workspaces
[11:38] <ObrienDave> does not seem like you can reorder taskbar tabs
[11:39] <ObrienDave> nope, they stay in alphabetical order, left to right
[11:41] <knome> right-click the panel, select panel -> panel preferences...
[11:41] <sorinello> too bad :(
[11:41] <knome> then go to the items tab, and select "window buttons"
[11:41] <knome> then click the properties icon (the cogwheel)
[11:41] <knome> in that dialog, change the sorting order to "none, allow drag-and-drop"
[11:42] <sorinello> indeed it works. thanks knome !
[11:43] <ObrienDave> ooooooooo, learned something new! thanks knome
[11:43] <knome> sorinello, no problem
[11:43] <knome> ObrienDave, see how "you can't do it" is a bad answer if the real answer is "i don't know" ?
[11:44] <sorinello> knome, : do you also have an answer for my first question ?
[11:44] <ObrienDave> i never said "can't" i said "does not seem"
[11:46] <knome> sorinello, that's something the apps must handle themself
[11:46] <sorinello> because for example in Unity, it you click on Firefox icon, you won't have a new Firefox instance started
[11:49] <knome> the xfce panel doesn't support such launchers by default. you'll either have to use a command for the app that makes sure a new window isn't opened, or write a launcher script that handles checking if the app is running and instead of running a new instance, just changes to the old one
[11:51] <koegs> there was some sort of panel-item for that
[11:52] <knome> potentially some non-default applet
[11:53] <koegs> knome: yes, but his might be it: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/03/dockbarx-available-as-xfce-panel-plugin.html
[11:53] <koegs> or this: http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-taskbar-plugin/
[11:57] <cookieburra> hey guys
[12:06] <kj4> hello xubies
[12:24] <wrongplace> will a tar.xz break my xubuntu 14.04 4 bits?
[12:24] <wrongplace> will a tar.xz break my xubuntu 14.04 64 bits?
[12:25] <knome> depends what it is and what are you about to do with it.
[12:26] <wrongplace> do you know telegram?
[12:26] <knome> nope
[12:29] <wrongplace> alpha version means it is unstable, am i wrong?
[12:30] <knome> yes.
[12:49] <jkhl> shortcut key for opening the terminal?
[12:49] <jkhl> (emulated)
[12:54] <cookieburra> ctrl + alt + T
[13:03] <jkhl> wasn't working (Lubuntu install, switched to xfce) but added it now in Settings Manager
[13:58] <goneeuro> is there an easy way to upgrade libreoffice to 4.3?
[13:59] <goneeuro> without reinstalling it I mean. I am currently on 4.2.6.2
[14:04] <knome> goneeuro, if it's not in the repositories, not really
[14:04] <knome> and in most cases it's not worth it anyway (unless you really really need a new feature)
[14:06] <goneeuro> knome: no I am just an update junky. I always update when I see a new version.
[14:06] <goneeuro> Thanks though.
[14:06] <goneeuro> I am not in the mood to reinstall so I guess Ill just wait for now.
[14:08] <knome> you would not only have to reinstall, you'd have to do a manual install that has very different consequences than a regular update from the repositories
[15:03] <abhra> how could "recently used" be opened in whisker menu everytime instead of "favourite"?
[15:52] <dominik_> hello guys, can u help me with customizing my xfce in ubuntu? I want to hide unmounted ntfs windows partitions from desktop only.
[15:58] <GridCube> dominik_, in the last tab of the desktop settins you can choose what drives to show
[15:59] <dominik_> Oh Gr8:) and i can hide only some icons( i mean those which are open like music player)
[16:30] <xubuntu735> Hi Hedgework, if you are here. I sent you a pm :)
[17:55] <Eldunar> hello i have problem with fusion icon. It do not want to open;/
[17:59] <GridCube> try opening the application from a terminal and see if it gives you an error
[17:59] <shay_shay> hello
[17:59] <shay_shay> i want to remove software center
[17:59] <Eldunar> dominik@dominik-pc:~$ fusion-icon * Detected Session: xubuntu * Searching for installed applications...Naruszenie ochrony pamięci (core dump
[17:59] <shay_shay> it seems safe...
[18:00] <shay_shay> http://hastebin.com/uzuquwihay.txt
[18:00] <shay_shay> i need to resolve this first. i think those autoremove packages are from when i installed libreoffice-gtk and then installed libreoffice-gnome on top
[18:00] <GridCube> shay_shay, you can do sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-software-center, but make sure before accepting the unistall that you dont delete apt-get
[18:01] <baizon> shay_shay: just remove software-center
[18:01] <GridCube> !pastebin @ Eldunar
[18:02] <GridCube> !pastebin | Eldunar
[18:02] <shay_shay> GridCube: heres what i plan on doing. i want to set manually installed anything that is set to "automatically installed but no longer needed" right now which shouldn't be, then purge software-center, then manually install anything which appears in "automatically installed no longer needed." hence the reason for my pastebin
[18:03] <xubuntu530> whois bekks bekks
[18:03] <xubuntu530> whois bekks bekks
[18:03] <xubuntu530> w
[18:03] <xubuntu530> whois bipolar bipolar
[18:04] <baizon> xubuntu530: please stop it
[18:04] <baizon> do a slash before whois
[18:04] <shay_shay> i think its possible playonlinux broke my system
[18:04] <shay_shay> and i should have never installed it from their ppa
[18:04] <xubuntu530> okay.
[18:04] <shay_shay> not sure why wine is installing and removing itself
[18:05]  * shay_shay misses debian :'(
[18:05] <baizon> shay_shay: then install it?
[18:06] <shay_shay> it wont work on this system
[18:06] <shay_shay> new xorg improvements, etc
[18:07] <shay_shay> i just need a second set of eyes http://hastebin.com/uzuquwihay.txt
[18:07] <shay_shay> i am okay with autoremoving it but maybe someone else will see it as unusual because i am unsure :P
[18:30] <shay_shay> help?
[20:04] <Migilenik> Hey guys
[20:04] <Migilenik> i wanted to ask
[20:04] <Migilenik> Xubuntu project seem to be very active, but how about xfce itself?
[20:05] <Migilenik> there are no news for years on the website, something news sometimes appears at the forum, but it seems like its not from active development
[20:05] <Migilenik> does anyone have any idea what is really going on with xfce ?
[20:07] <Unit193> Migilenik: You can see here: http://git.xfce.org that it still exists, and 4.11 (development releases) have been released recently, but yeah it's not the most active one around, but still activly develped nevertheless.
[20:18] <Migilenik> Unit193: im not a developer or hardcoder so maybe stupid question: can those commits be just sort of automatic thing?
[20:20] <Unit193> The translations yes, but not the actual commits.  https://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-dev/2014-July/thread.html is the mailing list.
[20:25] <Migilenik> Unit193: thanks man, i subscribed to dev mailing list already
[20:25] <Migilenik> looks like there is a lot of interesting info, thanks again
[20:25] <Unit193> Sure.
[20:25] <Migilenik> take care ;)
[21:18] <svetlana> o.O?
[21:18] <svetlana> Mounted a USB, removed without unmounting, its contents remained on the computer?
[21:18] <svetlana> Weird...
[21:23] <David-A> svetlana: filesystems usually caches read blocks in unused ram. if the ram was not needed for something else, and you only look at dirs or files you have looked at before while the usb was connected, it may not need to access the actual device and discover it is gone.
[21:27] <svetlana> Okay, thanks
[23:36] <wilsonjl3> how do i stop my screen from turning off? i went into power management(think thats what its called, under hardware) and set all the options to never, but it still turns off, any ideas?
[23:39] <wilsonjl3> er, it dosnt turn off, it goes black, like a screensaver, goes back to what it was as soon as i click or press a button
[23:39] <trevjburns> You went to power management, then th Display tab?
[23:39] <wilsonjl3> yeah
[23:39] <wilsonjl3> no
[23:40] <wilsonjl3> the "on AC" tab
[23:40] <wilsonjl3> (its a laptop)
[23:40] <trevjburns> There should be an Actions tab and a Monitor tab
[23:40] <trevjburns> On the right
[23:40] <wilsonjl3> ok xubuntu 14.04?
[23:41] <trevjburns> Yes
[23:41] <wilsonjl3> i have a thing on the left with settings, on AC, on battery, and extended tabs
[23:41] <wilsonjl3> and options for each tab on the right side of the window
[23:41] <trevjburns> Yep. And on the right above all the settings you should see tabs
[23:42] <wilsonjl3> i dont
[23:44] <wilsonjl3> thats in power manager?
[23:44] <trevjburns> Yes, if you don't have it then I have no idea :(
[23:45] <trevjburns> http://i.imgur.com/6xx7DW5.png

[23:46] <trevjburns> Awesome :) Hopefully that will fix it
[23:46] <wilsonjl3> sorry, i did go into both monitor and actions and chage it to never
[23:46] <trevjburns> Ahh, I'm not sure then :S
[23:46] <wilsonjl3> hah ok, no problem
[23:47] <trevjburns> Do you have Light locker?
[23:47] <wilsonjl3> yes but its disabled :p
[23:47] <wilsonjl3> did that already too hehe
[23:49] <trevjburns> idk, most likely some software overriding power management though
[23:49] <trevjburns> like a screen saver program maybe
[23:49] <wilsonjl3> mmm, i dunno
[23:49] <wilsonjl3> oh well, thanks for trying
[23:50] <wilsonjl3> whats the command for uninstalling and purging stuff?
[23:51] <ObrienDave> sudo apt-get purge *package-name*
[23:51] <wilsonjl3> heya ObrienDave! and thanks :3
[23:52] <trevjburns> Did you try turning off xset ?
[23:52] <wilsonjl3> whats that?
[23:52] <ObrienDave> hey wilsonjl3, how's it going?
[23:52] <wilsonjl3> pretty good, trying to make my screen stop shutting off
[23:52] <wilsonjl3> trevjburns whats xset?
[23:53] <ObrienDave> wilsonjl3, mine does too. not always. dunno why
[23:53] <wilsonjl3> oh okay
[23:53] <wilsonjl3> so just a glitch then?
[23:53] <ObrienDave> wilsonjl3, have you checked BIOS for any settings like that?
[23:54] <wilsonjl3> no i dunno how to check BIOS :P dunno what it is
[23:54] <trevjburns> wilsonjl3, xset just manages display preferences
[23:54] <wilsonjl3> oh okay
[23:54] <ObrienDave> Basic Input Output System
[23:55] <wilsonjl3> i see
[23:56] <ObrienDave> wilsonjl3, it's the chip that retains your basic computer settings. time of day, hard drives/ memory installed. really the heart of the system info
[23:56] <ObrienDave> new machines are going twoards UEFI
[23:56] <ObrienDave> *towards
[23:57] <wilsonjl3> mine is from last year, dont have to worry about that
[23:57] <wilsonjl3> oh! how do i remove repositories?
[23:58] <ObrienDave> you can delete them through settings, software & updates
[23:58] <ObrienDave> let me find the command
[23:59] <wilsonjl3> nah, its fine, i got it :)
