[01:39] <squibbly> hi peeps, i have a stuck entry in xubuntu xfce4 menu.  i have tried editing the ~/.config/menus/xfce-applications.menu, but new entries have replicated.
[02:42] <xubuntu205> how do i get rid of guest session?
[02:42] <xubuntu205> anyone?
[02:44] <holstein> xubuntu205: http://askubuntu.com/questions/451526/removing-guest-session-at-login-in-ubuntu-14-04
[03:51] <gggs> hey cool, I was just going to ask the same question re: guest login
[03:51] <holstein> i use the guest account for testing, and for guests to use the machine..
[03:52] <gggs> it really should be in the settings menu somewhere
[03:53] <gggs> I don't doubt its usefulness though
[03:53] <holstein> well, one can script something to be pointed to in the settings
[03:58] <gggs> having to create a configuration file in /usr/share and copy & paste 4 lines just to disable the guest account isn't terribly elegant
[03:59] <holstein> right.. you can script something that is as elegant as you please.. and ask for it to be included by default..
[04:00] <holstein> personally, im not interested.. but, you can have what you like in your system, and its a community which you can have input in
[04:02] <gggs> sure, it could probably be incorporated into 'Session and Startup' or 'Users and Groups'
[04:03] <gggs> I'm not sure how the settings menu is structured or extended though
[04:42] <stiv2k_> is it possible to wake my computer up when someone sends a print job to the printer thats connected to it?
[04:47] <cfhowlett> stiv2k_, if your computer is the printer server, yes.
[05:12] <stiv2k_> cfhowlett: no the other computer is the print server
[05:13] <stiv2k_> that the printer is connected to, in the living room
[06:10] <dbb> hi all - somehow, I installed 14.04 from a minimal CD, checked XUbunu and postgres et al, its on a hard disk.. on the machine that the install happened on.. Dell XPS-8300.. I just booted the second time now
[06:11] <dbb> and... there appears to be no eth0 ethernet interface
[06:11] <dbb> how can this be
[06:11] <dbb> sudo network-admin      brings up a little app.. with three tabs.. but in the HELP screens, there are *four* tabs shown.
[06:12] <Gus81> Hello, I speak Spanish. Sorry for my english... "Animations add-ons" Not in compiz. Xubuntu 14.04
[06:12] <dbb> the first is the interfaces tab.. and it is missing completely
[06:13] <Gus81> compiz-plugins-extra installed
[07:22] <knome> !es | Gus81
[08:26] <james0r> what'll be new with xubuntu 14.10?
[08:26] <knome> not much, the cycle after LTS is usually quite slow/quiet
[08:30] <james0r> yeah that makes sense.
[08:31] <james0r> any clues on when xfce 4.12 will be released? i heard later this year.
[08:31] <knome> there's no definite date set for that. "later this year" sounds about right, but might even slip over the year.
[08:33] <james0r> right right. is there ppa for testing?
[08:34] <knome> not really, but you could join #xubuntu-devel if you want to help the xubuntu team test stuff
[08:35] <james0r> right on. might just do that. thanks
[09:24] <xubuntu511> Anyone tell me what keyboard shortcut is used to lock screen (e.g used to use CTL-ALT-L on my old lubuntu install).
[09:26] <elfy> ctrl+alt+del
[09:26] <xubuntu511> Doesn't work for me :(
[09:27] <xubuntu511> xflock4 works in a terminal though. So its down to the mapping
[09:27] <elfy> settings - keyboard - shortcuts - look for xflock4
[09:28] <xubuntu511> xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml is dam confusing for me. I can find the line, but dunno what to put to remap it.
[09:28] <elfy> set it in settings as above
[09:29] <xubuntu511> E.g, the line in question reads... <property name="&lt;Primary&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;Delete" type="string" value="xflock4"/>
[09:29] <xubuntu511> but CTL-ALT-DEL doesn't work.
[09:30] <xubuntu511> OMG, elfy. That works a treat. Lol
[09:31] <xubuntu511> Thank you. Man Xubuntu makes life so easy.
[11:08] <xubuntu573> hello can you guys help me to upgrade? I have 12.10 and "software update" settings 404s .
[11:40] <xubuntu458> Hello ! I need help ! My icon battery no longer display since i add "acpi=off" in the grub file configuration but without acpi=off in grub file configuration my laptop don't startup :/
[11:41] <xubuntu458> And my functions keys doesn't work too with acpi=off
[11:45] <brainwash> xubuntu458 acpi=off disables some functionality, maybe you can find another workaround to get your laptop up and running
[11:58] <xubuntu458> How to know what is the problem at startup ?
[12:00] <xubuntu458> How to know what is the problem at startup ?
[12:01] <baizon> xubuntu458: check boot.log
[12:01] <baizon> or dmesg
[12:11] <xubuntu140> ok i removed acpi=off and my laptop don't boot. he boot after 3 times
[12:12] <xubuntu140> he doesn't boot*
[12:12] <xubuntu140> With dmesg i can find the problem ? How ?
[14:15] <xubuntu438> hi
[16:05] <Soe1en> hello everyone! I have a quick question! I installed xubuntu 14.04 on my pc and I am having a debian wheezy server connected to my network, I would like to store my userprofile on this sever and load it as soon as I login to my pc
[16:05] <Soe1en> can anyone give me some links? I'm not sure for what keywords I need to google
[16:05] <holstein> hmmm.. i would just syn it as a backup
[16:05] <holstein> sync*
[16:06] <Soe1en> holstein: are you talking to me?
[16:06] <holstein> no need to have the remote home.. you can just have it sync as a backup with some rsync script, etc
[16:06] <holstein> Soe1en: correct..
[16:06] <Soe1en> holstein: so you believe it is an bad idea, how so?
[16:06] <holstein> i could imagine having a serious issue if /home wasnt there, or went down.. you can get all the benefits with syncing, plus, its a backup..
[16:06] <Soe1en> Soe1en: I'm sick of having multiple copies of files when i just need one, .vimrc for example
[16:07] <holstein> Soe1en: you need *more* than one.. as a backup
[16:07] <holstein> vimrc should be quite small..
[16:07] <Soe1en> holstein: the server is there to backup my files anyway, all my files are stored there
[16:08] <holstein> Soe1en: ok.. thats how i would do it.. local /home, and backup/sync /home to the server..
[16:08] <holstein> if you wanted to remote the /home, you would just setup the server, and mount the server filesystem as soon as possible at boot, then just point the /home to the server location
[16:09] <Soe1en> holstein: welll technicially I am already doing it with rsync
[16:09] <Soe1en> not with all files but yeah
[16:09] <holstein> Soe1en: sure.. thats the way to do it
[16:09] <Soe1en> holstein: a bad idea to use rsync or was this not sarcasticially ment?
[16:10] <Soe1en> well I see
[16:10] <holstein> Soe1en: rsync to sync the /home to a remote location would likely be the preferred method for all
[16:11] <holstein> otherwise, if i wanted a "dummy terminal", i might use soemthing like freenx or nomachine to run a remote session, and do the backups of that host server-side
[16:11] <Soe1en> holstein: well yeah atm I do backups server side
[16:11] <Soe1en> on a 3rd 4tb hdd
[16:11] <holstein> the handy thing about the current setup is, you have fail-over.. you can have version control if you want to set that up.. you have the machine working as-is, then the /home is mirrored
[16:12] <Soe1en> holstein: ahh, I see what you mean
[16:13] <Soe1en> holstein: well the bad thing is that I'm working with 128gb ssd hard disk on pc and netbook, I have no space to get a full copy of all of my files
[16:14] <Soe1en> holstein: so which software does such sync jobs?
[16:15] <Soe1en> unison perhaps?
[16:16] <Soe1en> it is not a bad idea
[16:18] <dbb> hi all - somehow, I installed 14.04 from a minimal CD, checked XUbunu and postgres et al, its on a hard disk.. on the machine that the install happened on.. Dell XPS-8300.. I just booted the second time now
[16:18] <dbb> and... there appears to be no eth0 ethernet interface
[16:18] <dbb> sudo network-admin      brings up a little app.. with three tabs.. but in the HELP screens, there are *four* tabs shown.
[16:18] <dbb> the first is the interfaces tab.. and it is missing completely
[16:19] <holstein> Soe1en: you need at least a copyd of the files.. since all drives fail
[16:19] <dbb> I can boot the machine on either.. the original disk, or the new install.. but how can I fix this ?  any ideas?
[16:20] <holstein> Soe1en: i like the idea of running a normal install and syncing the /home. as for as the sync options, i would personally find rsync acceptable, but if your needs are different, you may find something else more appropriate
[16:29] <Soe1en> holstein: thanks a lot for you rhelp holstein, I will take some time to think about what I could do considering your input : )
[16:47] <m3n3chm0> hello, anyone uses wicd instead network manager ??
[16:48] <m3n3chm0> i tried to install wicd but on purge network manager, it dependends on more pacakages Xubuntu-desktop etc...
[16:48] <dbb> m3n3chm0: I did a fresh install of XUbuntu 14.04 and my network interface is *missing*
[16:48] <dbb> so, I am interested to hear if others have a problem, or find a fix
[16:48] <m3n3chm0> so it's any way to switch to wicd ?
[16:49] <dbb> I have never heard the name wicd
[16:49] <dbb> I can boot on my machine, but no network !
[16:49] <dbb> (there is a 12.04 on a second disk also)
[16:50] <Unit193> m3n3chm0: You can install wicd just fine, it just conflicts with NetworkManager so you don't get both trying to handle your network.
[16:51] <m3n3chm0> sure, but unninstalling network-manager* packages firts ?
[16:51] <m3n3chm0> or how can i switch to wicd... ?
[16:51] <m3n3chm0> how to disable netwoek manager ?
[16:52] <dbb> I see - "wicked" is for wireless
[16:53] <Unit193> Uninstall those first and you'll likely have issues downloading wicd.  Just install wicd and let apt handle the conflict.
[16:53] <Unit193> Or, remove network-manager after you install wicd.
[16:54] <m3n3chm0> ok
[16:54] <m3n3chm0> thanks
[17:01] <dbb> ok I was wrong
[17:01] <dbb> the interface is called p3p1
[17:01] <dbb> not eth0
[17:02] <dbb> I copied some config to /etc/network/interfaces  which refers to eth0 and that confused things
[17:02] <dbb> now, I commented out the change to /etc/network/interfaces and reboot.. I have network
[17:02] <dbb> weird
[19:30] <priuon> hey there. Opening a html file in one Workspace will catch a firefox from another workspace. Can this be disabled?
[19:31] <holstein> priuon: thats likely not all that easy to sort out.. but, its not xfce/xubuntu specific, either, likely.. i might try seeing if anyone using gnome or unity have the same issues, and if so, how they deal with it.. and see if its happening in other browsers
[19:31] <priuon> holstein. Is thrusty thar unity?
[19:32] <priuon> trusty thar
[19:33] <priuon> holstein: was this not an otion in previous versions of xubuntu?
[19:33] <priuon> *option
[19:38] <priuon> holstein: gedit showed similar behavior. An open window of gedit opened the file without beeing moved to the current workspace. This is all unwanted behavior in general.
[19:39] <holstein> priuon: tbh, i have never tried to personally deal with it, and i was just trying to think of where you can get an answer
[19:44] <priuon> I managed to get rid of the behavior the last time. I don't remember how though.
[19:49] <Gatis> For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
[19:54] <priuon> ⸮Gatis ~ Gratis?
[20:56] <xubuntu264> hey all, terminal is not letting me type in my password
[20:57] <xubuntu264> this directly related to when I try and get ufw running
[20:57] <holstein> xubuntu264: please open a terminal and type "sudo -s"
[20:58] <holstein> then, input the password and press enter.. you will not see the password being typed.. or any indications that you are typing
[20:58] <holstein> xubuntu264: can you login there? and do you get a "root" prompt?
[21:00] <xubuntu264> that worked, thanks
[21:00] <xubuntu264> what caused that?
[21:00] <holstein> xubuntu264: caused what?
[21:00] <holstein> regardless, you can exit that, and use "sudo ufw enable" for example
[21:01] <xubuntu264> the password not showing and not working till I typed in sodu -s"
[21:01] <holstein> you will be prompted for the sudo password, for the user
[21:01] <holstein> you will *not* be given any feedback for the password entry in the terminal
[21:02] <holstein> xubuntu264: the password is not supposed to show.. i was just making sure the user had sudo access and everything was configured properly
[21:03] <xubuntu264> ok, it was before, as xxxx, thanks holstien
[21:05] <holstein> xubuntu264: no, it wasnt..
[21:07] <xubuntu264> thought it was, it def stopped doing anything before I tested it with the command line you sent me
[21:07] <holstein> xubuntu264: it was not.. but, you just input your password, and press enter.. no feedback is given
[21:07] <xubuntu264> ah, the joys of being new to something
[21:09] <xubuntu264> it's a lot to take on using linux, but it's so much faster than windows and I can do much more with my rubbish laptop, like picture editing and sound editing etc
[21:10] <xubuntu264> anyway thanks for you help dude
