[00:03] <PMunch> I'm trying to configure some xfce panel settings through the config xml files. Is there a way to reload the configs so that I won't have to relog?
[00:04] <xubuntu755> What does it mean when I get a "notification" thats nothing but a lightbulb and a blank status bar? And my system seems to crash during it, I can't do anything. It's unrelated to CPU usage or Memory, according to the system monitor.
[00:04] <PMunch> Never mind, xfce4-panels --restart..
[00:11] <xubuntu755> I guess it's unique to me...
[00:15] <PMunch> xubuntu755: Haven't had anything like that. It might be something you have installed?
[00:15] <PMunch> Does anyone here know how to achieve something like this: http://cdn.xfce.org/about/tour/4.10/panel-rows.png
[00:15] <PMunch> I'm having trouble with putting the launcher in the middle to the left and letting other things flow to the right..
[00:58] <BadHorse> Hi folks, I'm having an issue and hope someone can help. I must have installed something that causes Thunderbird to not open. When run as root it does open after about a 15 second delay (everything else is instant as I have an SSD) so it probably has something to do with permissions, but I don't know what caused it
[00:58] <BadHorse> And I don't know how to get it to start without being root
[01:00] <BadHorse> Running xubu 14.04 btw
[01:04] <BadHorse> no suggestions?
[01:17] <pleia2> BadHorse: have you tried running it from a terminal? It might show some useful information in the output
[01:17] <pleia2> or not
[01:18] <bazhang> he crossposted in #u, got it solved apparently
[01:19] <pleia2> ah
[01:29] <PMunch> I managed to break Alt+space.. It's still in the list of keyboard shortcuts with the correct parameters but it's not doing anything. Tried reinstalling but nothing.
[01:30] <PMunch> I was trying to rebind it to Alt+m (which didn't work) so that I could use Alt+space for something else..
[01:48] <xubuncler> hi
[01:49] <xubuncler> hola
[02:15] <phenom> http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/
[02:17] <phenom> Anyone know of a fix? I've tried everything in every thread I've followed to no avail. I fear this bug is still persistent.
[02:19] <phenom> We were working on the issue yesterday but I had to leave. Wondering if anyone worked out the issue with brent yesterday, who is also experiencing the same issue.
[02:21] <phenom> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1259339
[02:21] <phenom> still not fixed
[02:22] <phenom> I'm going to head to work(sad face). I'll try to bash away at it later. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate a pm or the like.
[02:22] <phenom> Obliged.
[02:28] <phenom> Can anyone think of any negative effects of killing xfce-power-manager? killing it does indeed stop the issue. I don't plan on ever using suspend or hibernate. I want to lock the screen only.
[02:31] <PMunch> phenom: I guess it could mess up some stuff with fans and clock speed.
[02:32] <PMunch> Not really sure how the power manager latches into these things..
[02:33] <PMunch> Is there any way to add new buttons to the windows in xfce. I'm thinking of adding some custom controls for my multi-monitor setup and custom buttons would be nice.
[02:37] <superkuh> How do I install the menus shown at: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome+2+Menus+for+Xubuntu+14.04?content=164297 ? I am not sure where to put the .menu files.
[02:37] <superkuh> (gave up on MATE desktop on top of xfce, too buggy, back to xfce for now)
[02:37] <superkuh> Er, on top of xubuntu
[02:42]  * Church used mate only in mint .. so far works fine. felt like .. good old gnome2, before gnome devs started fsck up it :)
[02:43] <superkuh> Yeah. I love the feel. But something in my setup caused a lot of segfaults.
[02:43] <superkuh> Until I can figure it out it's back to just xcfe.
[02:45] <PMunch> superkuh: If you open your panel preferences
[02:45] <PMunch> Then go over to items
[02:45] <PMunch> Remove the "Whisker menu" item
[02:46] <PMunch> Add an "Applications menu" item
[02:46] <PMunch> Go to properties of your new item and choose custom menu file.
[02:46] <PMunch> Should work
[02:47] <PMunch> That being said the default menu in the Applications menu look pretty similar to old Gnome menus
[02:48] <superkuh> Thanks.
[03:02] <PMunch> No problem
[03:36] <superkuh> When I try to delete an icon of the desktop by selecting it and pressing the "Delete" key on my keyboard the desktop itself (not any windows above it though) freezes up for about 5 seconds and then deletes the icon eventually.
[03:37] <superkuh> Any clue what might be going wrong?
[03:37] <superkuh> Like, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1294209
[03:40] <holstein> wow.. i just thought that was normal, i suppose..
[03:40] <superkuh> Also, there seem to be grid aligned "outlines" when I move icons. And these icon outlines showing the snap to grid position don't disappear when moved; like X forgot to redraw the background. I can get the lines to go away by drag-clicking over the area and getting X to redraw.
[03:41] <holstein> superkuh: i might be looking at my graphics drivers
[03:41] <superkuh> Any idea what these grid aligned outline boxes are called so I can search for how to disable them?
[03:42] <superkuh> Unfortunately they are not rendered in screenshots. :\
[03:42] <holstein> i would try the vesa driver, to remove my driver from the equation
[03:43] <holstein> could be a laggy nvidia driver causing all your issues
[03:43] <superkuh> RIght. I'm not doing that. I just want to disable the grid-aligned boxes showing where the icon will drop.
[03:43] <superkuh> Then there'll be no issue.
[03:44] <holstein> superkuh: cool..enjoy and let me know if you want to work with the troubleshooting tips i volunteer.. id be glad to help, but, you'd need to look at the drivers
[03:44] <superkuh> The little boxes that show where the dragged icon will drop to.
[03:44] <superkuh> Even if I didn't have the little vaguely annoying bits of failed re-draw I'd want to disable these boxes.
[03:45] <holstein> sounds like you might just prefer something without desktop icons
[03:45] <superkuh> Nah. I just don't want it showing me where the icons will drop with blue outlines.
[03:45] <superkuh> If this is not something that can be turned off I'll deal.
[03:46] <cfhowlett> superkuh, s ettings > Desktop > icons > default icons
[03:46] <holstein> ultimately, *everything* can be customized.. but, im not sure how easy it is to disable that..
[06:51] <jarnos> What is the default font in xfce4-terminal (in 14.04)?
[06:54] <baizon> jarnos: http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/preferences#appearance
[07:26] <jarnos> baizon, Thanks, Dejavu Sans Mono Book looks Okay. Like Monospace Regular. Easy to  distinguish O and 0. Most fonts look terrible in the terminal: letters may even overlap.

[16:26] <nobodysme> hi, i reinstalled xubuntu12.04 in the same root, because hard system problems, and i create a new user name like "user2" because the fear of losing /home/user , now it's enough to create user named "user" to reuse it without problems?
[16:26] <nobodysme> /home/user is present and with all the original content
[16:27] <nobodysme> i would eliminate user2 to come back using user

[19:08] <xubuntu142> Hi
[19:59] <sin_> Hey, when I log in - my locale seem to be different from the one I configured in /etc/default/locale. Anyone know a fix_
[19:59] <sin_> ?
[19:59] <sin_> At the login manager.
[20:00] <sin_> I selected the wrong lang at install time but changed ALL settings I could think of.
[20:13] <sin_> nobody? :(
[21:08] <sin_> Hey, when I log in - my locale seem to be different from the one I configured in /etc/default/locale. Anyone know a fix? This happens at the login manager. And I have fixed all settings I can think of.
[21:24] <brainwash> sin_: what does "locale" return?
[21:25] <sin_> http://pastebin.com/ZAkmbWz6
[21:25] <sin_> brainwash: answered with link
[21:35] <sin_> brainwash, I think I solved it though. The problem was my TTY-keymap >P
[21:35] <sin_> :P
[21:35] <brainwash> sin_: you could add your preferred locale settings to /etc/environment and test again
[21:35] <brainwash> oh
[21:35] <sin_> I can't restart now or anything
[21:36] <sin_> Because it's a fresh install atm, and I'm installing matlab... (+download). Download is a bit of a process.
[21:36] <brainwash> did you re-run console-setup?
[21:36] <sin_> dpkg-reconfigure console-data
[21:36] <brainwash> ok
[21:37] <sin_> should work imo
[23:54] <xubuntu32w> anyone know what unmountable boot volume means?
