[00:00] <xubuntu87w> How can i create program icons on the desctop ?
[00:57] <xubuntu41w> hello
[00:57] <Unit193> Howdy.
[00:58] <xubuntu41w> anyone know which file in X server sends signals to the monitor to display stuff?
[01:00] <xubuntu41w> anyone
[01:00] <xubuntu41w> ?
[01:03] <BarnabasDK> /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[01:03] <BarnabasDK> but I don't think it is used anymore
[01:06] <xubuntu41w> the "default-display-manager" points to "/usr/sbin/lightdm". Is lightdm the binary that sends the signals?
[01:06] <Bl4ckSh4d0w> :P
[01:08] <BarnabasDK> xubuntu41w, lightdm is the new parallel to say GDM from the gnome days
[01:08] <BarnabasDK> so that is what stars up your session from a login screen
[01:08] <xubuntu41w> oh
[01:09] <BarnabasDK> so if it does not work, try to do a
[01:09] <BarnabasDK> dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[01:09] <BarnabasDK> and se if the list makes something else available
[01:10] <Bl4ckSh4d0w>  /msg NickServ identify pOXVLm2vNu5K8SIIQAIK
[01:11] <pk> What I was trying to do was to take that signal stream and pipe it to another screen
[01:13] <pk> Is that at all possible?
[01:13] <BarnabasDK> anything is possible, whats the end goal ?
[01:13] <pk> to make a monitor from a client to see the servers monitor
[01:13] <pk> that's the end goal
[01:15] <BarnabasDK> when you say "monitor" do you mean the console or something with colors and stripes?
[01:15] <pk> by monitor I mean something with colors and stripes
[01:16] <pk> In other words, i want a client to connect to a server through HTTP and see the server's screen.
[01:16] <BarnabasDK> whats wrong with x/rdp/vnc/reminna etc?
[01:16] <BarnabasDK> aah
[01:16] <pk> what that? i have never heard of it
[01:17] <BarnabasDK> http is a passive protocol .. how do you expect to access a GUI?
[01:17] <pk> I want to pipe a stream on signals sent by the server's monitor  through http to the client ...
[01:18] <pk> ... which will pipe that stream to his own monitor
[01:18] <pk> therefore displaying the servers screen on his display.
[01:19] <BarnabasDK> HTTP is a passive protocol its not two ways ..
[01:19] <BarnabasDK> the client requests the server
[01:19] <BarnabasDK> not the other way around
[01:20] <pk> but the server can use the socket to send some data back right?
[01:20] <BarnabasDK> per request yes
[01:20] <BarnabasDK> POST/GET stuff
[01:21] <pk> Is there any other way to pipe data between computers other than http?
[01:22] <BarnabasDK> yeah I would start with SSH
[01:22] <BarnabasDK> from there all other protocols you can tunnel
[01:23] <pk> i will see if NodeJS can make
[01:23] <pk> SSH sockets
[01:23] <BarnabasDK> try that ..
[01:24] <BarnabasDK> I would try using ssh
[01:25] <pk> ok yeah it is possible
[01:27] <pk> so can I pipe the stream to the client through ssh?
[01:31] <BarnabasDK> I think what you are trying to do is to create access to a server via http / html5 that requires the client to load a number of libraries from a server
[01:31] <BarnabasDK> http://guac-dev.org/
[01:31] <BarnabasDK> maybe
[01:32] <BarnabasDK> consider the security implications
[01:34] <BarnabasDK> if you are uncertain about that, maybe you should not be enabling server access over http
[01:36] <pk> LOL I think guacamole is what I was trying to make
[01:36] <BarnabasDK> basically an RDP client coded in JS
[01:37] <pk> yeah
[01:38] <pk> dang it
[01:39] <pk> Thanks for all the help.
[01:39] <pk> See you another time.
[01:39] <BarnabasDK> yep stay safe :-D

[03:24] <xubuntu88w> Hi, I am somewhat new to Xubuntu. I had, I bellieve 12.10 running on my system and just upgraded to 14.04 (Dell 4600 Dimension, 4Gb RAM). Was running well before but now CD/DVD fails to play (Gstreamer Backend Error, Could not handle CDDA URI) and screen icons come and go as my cursor passes over them. Please help!
[05:08] <Vampi> приветики :)
[07:47] <olbi> Do you plan to release packages for xfce4-power-manager 1.4.0 in Xubuntu 14.04? :-)
[09:33] <james0r> there a way to get the indicator applet to not grab system tray icons from apps?
[09:33] <james0r> i see you can hide them, but then the notifications plugin won't take them
[09:35] <brainwash> olbi: no
[09:35] <olbi> brainwash: :(
[09:36] <olbi> so stable version of Xubuntu 14.04 will be soon outdated :P
[09:36] <brainwash> olbi: you can get newer package versions via PPA
[09:36] <olbi> PPA aren't good way cause sometime are library conflicts
[09:37] <brainwash> indeed, things can break
[09:38] <olbi> that's why I think you should update in main repo such apps like xfce4-power-manager and others for Xfce :-)
[09:38] <olbi> ofcourse after testing it
[09:38] <brainwash> that's not how the update policy works
[09:39] <brainwash> you request a backport of a specific packages
[09:40] <brainwash> which will be then available in the backports repo
[09:40] <brainwash> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[09:43] <brainwash> james0r: you could just remove indicator-application
[09:43] <james0r> brainwash, yeah i just happen to like one of its features.
[09:43] <james0r> brainwash, i'll probably just do without.
[09:54] <xubuntu75w> I'm new in Linux. I had installed Xubuntu 14.04 on a Fujitsu Siemens V5535 laptop. The resolution of display is 640*480. I think the video chipset is SIS 771. Can help me somebody to how change it  ?
[09:55] <olbi> I think the drivers dont' works with this graphics card :P
[10:00] <livingdaylight> Hello
[10:00] <livingdaylight> skype doesn't seem to be in the repositories. Do we download that directly from their website instead?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight, enable partner repositories and update
[10:03] <livingdaylight> cfhowlett, k, thank you
[10:04] <livingdaylight> In Ubuntu Software Center? or..?
[10:05] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight yep: settings > software sources
[10:05] <livingdaylight> (Y)
[10:30] <livingdaylight> Does Ubuntu prefer Libre Office now? or is LO and Open Office about the same and a matter of preference?
[10:32] <bazhang> libre is standard
[10:33] <livingdaylight> is Open Office still open-source? or did Libre Office fork off for other reasons?
[10:33] <bazhang> you can search for this info online
[11:16] <livingdaylight> How do I install adobe flash player?
[11:17] <livingdaylight> Tried playing something imbedded in a website on chrome and told adobe not installed on computer
[11:29] <JuliaRoze> Hi there
[11:29] <JuliaRoze> Guys, I need help
[11:30] <JuliaRoze> I downloaded  xubuntu, but i don`t know how install
[11:32] <elfy> JuliaRoze: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall
[11:32] <elfy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[11:33] <JuliaRoze> Thanks
[11:34] <elfy> welcome
[11:37] <livingdaylight> I have adobe flash installed Ubuntu Software is telling me, yet, video is not playing in Chrome
[11:44] <Wlsonjl3> chrome dosnt allow stuff like that, cant watch netflix in it either
[11:45] <livingdaylight> chrome doesnt allow stuff like what?
[11:45] <livingdaylight> watching embedded videos?
[11:45] <knome> Wlsonjl3, that's incorrect.
[11:46] <knome> Wlsonjl3, netflix is a completely different issue
[11:46] <Wlsonjl3> okay
[13:37] <livingdaylight> Videos on facebook don't play. "This plug-in is not supported" is the error message. I have to click on the youtube address if there is one, to then watch it in youtube. So, does anyone know what this might be?
[13:37] <livingdaylight> Am I missing a plugin or using an open-source version where I should /need to use a non-free version to have it work?
[13:40] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight, WHAT plugin?
[13:41] <livingdaylight> it doesn't say.. cfhowlett the dialog just greys over and says what I quoted
[13:56] <livingdaylight> cfhowlett, so, Blueskaj in the #linux channel suggested to install pepperflashplugin-nonfree AND now it works! BRILLIANT !!!
[13:56] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight, buy that man a beer!
[13:56] <livingdaylight> already did, LoL
[13:57] <livingdaylight> I guess there is a bunch of non-free stuff I need to install to have this running smoothly in the "real" World
[13:58] <livingdaylight> hrmm... no java either...
[13:58] <cfhowlett> livingdaylight, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras       solves most of those problems
[13:58] <livingdaylight> k, thanks... its been a while!
[13:59] <livingdaylight> do people still install the non-free java or is open-jdk the all round go-to for java these days?
[13:59] <koegs> so far no problems with openjdk
[17:41] <RemunJ> Anyone a clue how to fix an internal error (KernelOops) named: BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:f25fa000 idx:1 val:5?
[17:49] <drc> RemunJ: 1) No idea, 2) Absolutely no hits on googling your string, 3) Lots of hits on "Bad rss-counter state", but they all appear to be kernel related.  I'm going to take a wild guess and say that no one here will have an answer for you.  I'd try 1) googling and see if there is something close to your problem and 2) Try one of the more kernel related channels.
[17:52] <drc> Googling will probably not find anything, but may give you more venues to ask in.
[17:54] <RemunJ> I didn't find anything too that I can use with my knowledge ...
[17:55] <drc> Then I'd start with ##kernel.
[17:57] <RemunJ> Had it before and a week ago or so but it than suddenly disappeared .. hmmm. I will try the ##kernel room later. Thanks anyway :)
[22:47] <nectur> hi im trying to extract an .zip with archive it says it ca't is it capable with the right library or do i need another tool for them zips?
[22:47] <nectur> squeeze sorry
[22:47] <nectur> can squeeze extract zip files?
[22:48] <HedgeMage> Sorry, I don't know what squeeze is.
[22:48] <HedgeMage> I can tell you how to do it from the command line if you want.
[22:48]  * HedgeMage isn't much of a gui person
[22:48] <nectur> archive extracter
[22:48] <nectur> sure
[22:48] <HedgeMage> "unzip /path/to/filename.zip"
[22:49] <HedgeMage> (without quotes)
[22:49] <knome> fwiw, last release of squeeze is more than 6 years old...
[22:49] <nectur> HedgeMage thank you
[22:50] <HedgeMage> nectur: np
[22:51] <nectur> besides unzip what other archivers do i need for rar for example any recommends?
[22:53] <mikeche1en> unrar?
[22:53] <HedgeMage> mikeche1en: he already left :/
[22:53] <mikeche1en> ah lol
[22:53] <HedgeMage> But yes, you're right :)
[22:54] <mikeche1en> vague question too considering the needed archiver depends what kind of archives he is opening :D
[23:03] <HedgeMage> well, he mentioned rar specifically, at least.
[23:04] <mikeche1en> yeah true
