| ObrienDave | did you re-download the live ISO? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| twoofthree | yes | 00:00 |
| twoofthree | did they remove that feature like a day ago? | 00:00 |
| ObrienDave | i have noticed a different menu system also. not sure what the last one was called | 00:01 |
| twoofthree | i simply cant tell the difference between XFCE and XUbuntu and this bothers me. is it a glitch is it right lol | 00:02 |
| ObrienDave | run "run a program" that has a search type function | 00:02 |
| ObrienDave | afaik, XFCE and Xubuntu logons are the same | 00:02 |
| twoofthree | if they are the same then why offer two? | 00:02 |
| twoofthree | all im saying is, i cant tell the difference with my eyes | 00:03 |
| ObrienDave | i don't know | 00:03 |
| twoofthree | and it has me worried | 00:03 |
| ObrienDave | why worried? it works, yes? | 00:03 |
| twoofthree | system has 2 icons in it using Xubuntu, XFCE is has like ten | 00:03 |
| twoofthree | what does that mean lol | 00:03 |
| twoofthree | this is most confusing experience | 00:03 |
| brainwash | it basically only matters the first time you log into the session | 00:04 |
| ObrienDave | i suppose it's so you can have 2 different desktop layouts. you can have more than one or two DEs available | 00:06 |
| ObrienDave | oh well ;P | 00:06 |
| xubuntu512 | So I am trying to install conky and I got to the end of the set up where I have to create a text document, but I can't create it. When I do new --> document, it give me the prompt to give the file a name, but after that nothing happens. However when I tried to create the file again, it said that the file was already there... | 00:10 |
| Azelphur | xubuntu512: press ctrl+h in the file browser, it's hidden. | 00:14 |
| xubuntu512 | well that was easy...thanks! | 00:16 |
| twoofthree | hello. does anyone know the command to remove the xfce power manager? | 00:35 |
| ObrienDave | ummm, why do you want to do that? not recommended | 00:36 |
| twoofthree | this pc is always on ac power | 00:36 |
| twoofthree | seems useless | 00:36 |
| ObrienDave | arbitrarily removing system packages is not a good idea. it's not hurting anything to be there | 00:41 |
| seg | hi -- low volumes over a USB DAC using spdif. Having a hard time finding relevant search results, anyone familiar? | 01:12 |
| seg | fixed with hda-analyzer. thanks | 01:21 |
| xubuntu866 | Hello, I installed Xubuntu 14.04 64 bit, I saw that 14.04.01 has been released, am I going to get that update too? | 02:30 |
| holstein | xubuntu866: yes.. you can just update as you please, or open a terminal and use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to be updated to the current packages | 02:30 |
| xubuntu866 | so I have to run a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the latest version? | 02:31 |
| xubuntu866 | Is it a reccomended procedure? | 02:31 |
| holstein | xubuntu866: no | 02:31 |
| holstein | xubuntu866: as i said, you can just update as you do.. the update manager, or whatever.. or, you can do that right now and update | 02:32 |
| xubuntu866 | Ok, thank you holstein. | 02:33 |

| Slit | Hi! Could some one help me with two issue - with setting the menu items and automatically connecting to wi fi. | 06:43 |
| knome | Slit, ask your question; if somebody knows the answer, they will most probably reply | 07:06 |
| Slit | Ok knome. I can't reorder menu items on my xubuntu 14.04. Can somebody help me with that? | 07:33 |
| knome | please try to be more specific with your problem; how can you not, what have you tried to do to reorder them? | 07:34 |
| Slit | I just right click on menu -> Edit applications-> Accessories. Then I move up in that folder About me. Nothing shows in Menu when I do that. | 07:37 |
| toInfinityandBey | hello friends! anyone here to help me? | 08:21 |
| toInfinityandBey | my issue is minor. i need help installing directx with playonlinux :D | 08:21 |
| knome | toInfinityandBey, ask your question; if somebody knows the answer, they'll most likely reply | 08:21 |
| toInfinityandBey | :D | 08:21 |
| knome | i'd ask the playonlinux support for that question | 08:21 |
| toInfinityandBey | thers a playonlinux chan? | 08:21 |
| knome | i don't know, but i bet they have some kind of support method available | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | ah i think its a really easy issue but i am just a newbie and a bit stupid | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | do you care to look at the issue if i post the line? | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | I haven't gotten CS:GO working yet (same error that you had), but I did fix the keyboard issue in Ricochet (I was just using this to test since it was only a 250MB download). Make sure to do the following in PlayOnLinux config: | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | - Install dxfullsetup | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | - Install DirectInput | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | - Under Display: | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | -- Set GLSL to "enabled" | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | -- Set Direct Draw Renderer to "opengl" | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | -- Set Strict Draw Ordering to "enabled" | 08:22 |
| knome | i'm not familiar with playonlinux | 08:22 |
| knome | !pastebin | toInfinityandBey | 08:22 |
| ubottu | toInfinityandBey: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 08:22 |
| toInfinityandBey | my problem is.. .how do i install dxfullsetup and those others lol | 08:23 |
| toInfinityandBey | oh sorry didnt mean to breakthe rules, my bad | 08:23 |
| knome | i really don't know, but i imagine you need to install them inside playonlinux like any other software | 08:23 |
| toInfinityandBey | BTW : Thanks to garandil , hes a really good supporter / helper on this channel who saved my linux | 08:24 |
| knome | this channel really isn't your best bet on getting support with your issue (even if it's ok to ask) | 08:24 |
| toInfinityandBey | hm yea true il look around ,i just been trying to get cs go working but | 08:24 |
| toInfinityandBey | really i want minecraft working first anyway, just trying to find some good settings for it | 08:24 |
| toInfinityandBey | because i just play feed-the-beast mod , but the fps is bad at the moment he he | 08:25 |
| toInfinityandBey | but it sucks because my card is r9 280x sapphire vapor, and theres no drivers i can find that will work, it just uses the radeon hd 7970 which is basically the same card but its not -_- | 08:25 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, shut down all other internet accessing apps (looking at you firefox) to reduce that load. | 08:26 |
| toInfinityandBey | now i read a lot how ppl say its a lot easier to use nvidea with linux than amd -_- | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, that is true | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | !nvidia | 08:26 |
| ubottu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 08:26 |
| toInfinityandBey | cant afford it though i just paid like $400 for this card a few months ago and its really good card | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, AMD is not well-supported. live with it. | 08:27 |
| toInfinityandBey | :D | 08:27 |
| toInfinityandBey | do you play any games on linux cfhowlett ? | 08:27 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, steam games, yes. | 08:28 |
| toInfinityandBey | nice. | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, but my card is intel and the intel driver just came out. pretty sad before that, but now much better. | 08:28 |
| toInfinityandBey | cool, im hoping , well i read that from gaben himself | 08:28 |
| knome | toInfinityandBey, cfhowlett: general chatter in #xubuntu-offtopic please | 08:28 |
| toInfinityandBey | he is planning to make cs go to linux | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, steam is getting better and better about linux game support. suggest you take a look. | 08:28 |
| toInfinityandBey | ok sorry | 08:28 |
| cfhowlett | !steam | 08:29 |
| ubottu | Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 08:29 |
| toInfinityandBey | awesome! thanks | 08:29 |
| cfhowlett | !wine | toInfinityandBey, wine is also an option | 08:29 |
| ubottu | toInfinityandBey, wine is also an option: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 08:29 |
| toInfinityandBey | i use wine with playonlinux . is there another way to use wine? | 08:30 |
| toInfinityandBey | !virtualizer | 08:30 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 08:30 |
| toInfinityandBey | !vertualizers | 08:30 |
| toInfinityandBey | ffs -_- | 08:30 |
| toInfinityandBey | !wine | 08:31 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 08:31 |
| cfhowlett | toInfinityandBey, same outcome. playonlinux is just the gui for wine. might be possible to run some apps in !vbox. install windows, install game, play | 08:31 |
| knome | toInfinityandBey, please remember that this is a family-friendly channel | 08:31 |
| ssamot | Hello - ever since I upgraded to 14.04 lid suspend seems to do something to the screen which kills i3 (the window manager I use). Never had any problems with suspend/resume and the laptop lid in previous versions of xubuntu | 08:31 |
| twoofthree | hello. When i mouse over the volume icon using XFCE and choose sound settings, nothing opens. What can i do to repair this ? | 08:50 |
| Uatec | hi there | 09:33 |
| slickymasterWork | !hi | Uatec | 09:34 |
| ubottu | Uatec: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 09:34 |
| Uatec | i installed xubuntu on my ubuntu server, and installed xrdp to connect to it as a remote desktop... | 09:34 |
| Uatec | but for some reason they keyboard layout is all messed up, (the symbol keys and the tab key are mapping to random things) | 09:34 |
| Uatec | so i look in Settings>Keyboard to change the layout, but all the drop downs are empty, no options for Model or Layout | 09:35 |
| Uatec | how can i install a new (correct) layout? | 09:35 |
| twoofthree | hello. i seem to have lost the volume icon , can anyone tell me how to get it back please? | 09:43 |
| twoofthree | xfce* | 09:43 |
| ObrienDave | look for "indicator plugin" | 09:46 |
| twoofthree | i have , i cant seem to get it back no matter what i do | 09:47 |
| Uatec | what have you done? | 09:47 |
| twoofthree | i removed and reinstalled pulse audio | 09:47 |
| ObrienDave | do you have a mail or battery icon? | 09:48 |
| twoofthree | i wil settle for resetting the taskbar to default and starting over, if possible | 09:48 |
| twoofthree | i do not, i removed those while ago before this was an issue | 09:48 |
| ObrienDave | right click on the taskbar, panel, add new items, add indicator plugin | 09:49 |
| twoofthree | done.i have the envelope and power icon back, no volume | 09:50 |
| brainwash | install indicator-sound | 09:50 |
| ObrienDave | right click mail or power icon, properties. sound menu should be there | 09:51 |
| twoofthree | not present ObrienDave | 09:52 |
| twoofthree | brainwash, how please. sudo apt-get install indicator-sound did not work | 09:52 |
| ObrienDave | then what brainwash said | 09:52 |
| twoofthree | would logging in and out work or must i restart? | 09:53 |
| brainwash | relogging is enough | 09:53 |
| ObrienDave | says something about restarting panel. try a relog | 09:53 |
| twoofthree | it is not back. | 09:54 |
| twoofthree | can i just like, start from scratch some how? | 09:54 |
| brainwash | installing indicator-sound did not work? any error output? | 09:55 |
| twoofthree | how do i install it. sudo apt-get install indicator-sound did not nothing | 09:55 |
| Uatec | i must have done something | 09:56 |
| Uatec | it must have given either an error or a confirmation | 09:56 |
| twoofthree | moment | 09:56 |
| brainwash | twoofthree: it did nothing means that the package was already installed? | 09:56 |
| brainwash | check with "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" | 09:56 |
| twoofthree | its working. willreboot. sorry | 09:56 |
| twoofthree | will relog* to check | 09:57 |
| twoofthree | i have the volume icon back, a big thanks | 09:58 |
| twoofthree | should i be concerned that clicking "sound settings" does nothing? | 09:58 |
| ObrienDave | it does not work for me either | 09:59 |
| twoofthree | ok, ty | 09:59 |
| twoofthree | would a purple icon next to startup entries mean they are not working? | 09:59 |
| ObrienDave | where do you see that | 10:00 |
| twoofthree | Sessions and Startup. next to some items. Others have icons | 10:00 |
| twoofthree | perhaps purple icon means "command" | 10:01 |
| ObrienDave | does it look like a gear inside the icon? | 10:01 |
| twoofthree | hard to say, so tiny. its purple and like a diamon or a box on its di | 10:02 |
| twoofthree | ssome change in color towards bottom right | 10:02 |
| twoofthree | side* | 10:02 |
| ObrienDave | name something next to the icon | 10:03 |
| brainwash | twoofthree: the sound settings menu entry requires pavucontrol to be installed. reinstall pavucontrol if it is missing | 10:03 |
| twoofthree | indicator application, indicator power, indicator sound,polic kit authentication agent,pulese audio system etc.. | 10:03 |
| twoofthree | would the comamnd be sudo apt-get install pavucontrol brainwash ? | 10:04 |
| twoofthree | ty brainwash , already newest version | 10:05 |
| twoofthree | xfce volume daemon (pulseaudio) is also purple icon | 10:05 |
| ObrienDave | those icons are probably just a default icon if the app has none defined | 10:05 |
| twoofthree | ty ObrienDave | 10:06 |
| ObrienDave | i have a gray box with a gear inside for the same ones you described | 10:06 |
| twoofthree | il enable them all and disable them all and see what happens | 10:06 |
| ObrienDave | NO! just change icon sets | 10:06 |
| james0r | i've got a little issue with the nm-applet, i removed the indicator applet, not a big fan, and run the nm-applet at startup. didn't find this to be a problem before but now after i suspend it won't connect to networks properly. finds the networks but won't connect | 10:07 |
| twoofthree | ok ObrienDave :) | 10:07 |
| james0r | yikes, now i can't get it to do it. seems to be only on long suspends | 10:16 |
| ObrienDave | !find nm-applet | 10:18 |
| ubottu | File nm-applet found in app-install-data, language-pack-gnome-af-base, language-pack-gnome-am-base, language-pack-gnome-an-base, language-pack-gnome-ar-base, language-pack-gnome-as-base, language-pack-gnome-ast-base, language-pack-gnome-be-base, language-pack-gnome-bg-base, language-pack-gnome-bn-base (and 88 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=nm-applet&mode=&suite=trusty&arch=any | 10:18 |
| ObrienDave | where did you get that package? | 10:20 |
| james0r | not sure actually. i thought it was pre-installed | 10:21 |
| james0r | it might be network-manager-gnome | 10:21 |
| ObrienDave | i don't have it. let me look | 10:23 |
| ObrienDave | i have network-manager-gnome, that file is not installed | 10:24 |
| taropalo | james0r: it is part of network-manager-gnome | 10:29 |
| james0r | taropalo, okay. so it would have been installed already eh? | 10:30 |
| taropalo | yes /usr/bin/nm-applet | 10:30 |
| james0r | i just realized that if i enable the original "Networking" option in Autostart i get the applet. I swear this wasn't working before that's why i disabled "Networking" and added my custom nm-applet line. but it's working now | 10:30 |
| james0r | not sure if it will have problems after a long suspend like before, i guess i'll have to wait and see. | 10:31 |
| ObrienDave | wait and see | 10:31 |
| james0r | not sure where i got the string to exec, but i was running nm-applet --sm-disable &, in my custom autostart line | 10:32 |
| james0r | not sure what --sm-disable does | 10:32 |
| ObrienDave | if you're not sure, why are you using it? | 10:32 |
| james0r | ObrienDave, i took it from a forum and probably understood at the time i imagine. | 10:33 |
| ObrienDave | o i c | 10:33 |
| james0r | this is my 3rd install of xubuntu 14.04 and i tweak it out so quickly that i don't pay enough attention. | 10:34 |
| james0r | do people find the indicator applet that useful? i started with a version of mint that i don't remember having it and after swtching over to xubuntu just didn't understand the benefits. | 10:35 |
| james0r | some quirky behavior with it too, skype takes an extra click and seems like a couple other things. | 10:36 |
| james0r | minor i suppose | 10:36 |
| ObrienDave | well, that's a common issue we hear a lot. "why does it not behave like X system". because it's not X system | 10:39 |
| james0r | i'm on 14.04.1, is there a ppa to upgrade to the newest whisker menu? | 10:48 |
| ObrienDave | http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-whisker-menu-1-4-on-xubuntu-14-04-xubuntu-13-10-xubuntu-12-04-and-linux-mint-17-linux-mint-16-and-linux-mint-13-using-xfce/ | 10:50 |
| james0r | ObrienDave, awesome. thanks. | 10:51 |
| james0r | i dig the categories on the left so looking forward to the newest version | 10:51 |
| ObrienDave | yea, i kinda like it also | 10:51 |
