| Tim-xubuntu97w | Hey, I just updated from XUbuntu 13.10 to 14.04, and now my XFCE desktop doesn't have any panels, and whenever I try to browse files I get a an 'Failed to execute default File Manager : Failed to execute child process "thunar" (no such file or directory)' error. Any ideas? | 01:56 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: i would tty or terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and share any errors.. make sure you are up to date, and actually running 14.04 | 01:57 |
| Ca3sar | I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line. | 01:58 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Thanks, I'll try the dist upgrade. | 01:58 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the guest account... if all is well in the guest account, then its likely the users config is bad | 01:58 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | update gave no errors. | 01:58 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Yeah, I set up a new 'test' user, thinking that was the issue, but it was borked as well | 01:59 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: then, i would try the live CD for 14.04, and see that it supports the hardware well, and do a backup of my data from it, and consider just fresh installing | 01:59 |
| Ca3sar | I used a minimal CD to try and install Xubuntu on my Macbook Pro and now when I boot I just get a text command line. | 01:59 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: the minimal *is* just command line | 01:59 |
| Ca3sar | ohhhhh... what do i do to get the normal desktop then? | 01:59 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | if 14.04 is the problem, is there an easy way to roll back? (I suspect not) | 02:00 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: you can use a "normal" desktop installation iso.. or, see that you are connected to the internet and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 02:00 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: its not | 02:00 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: you cant roll back.. but, i really dont think 14.04 is the problem.. | 02:01 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Yep. when I SSH in, it shows I'm in 14.04.1 | 02:01 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | I would think not. | 02:01 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: you should have your data backed up regardless, since all hard drives fail.. i would do that prior to anything else.. then, i would consider reinstallation the "easy" way.. | 02:01 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | It very well could be related that I'm running headless and getting in via XRDP. | 02:01 |
| Ca3sar | holstein: thanks I think it's working. I'll consult if I have any more issues | 02:02 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: yes.. that could *all* be related. i would get native on the machine.. | 02:02 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Yeah, I've no data on teh machine, it's just a print server, and a place for me to fool around on. | 02:02 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | I'll pull the machine and see if I run into issues 'native'. I hadn't heard that term before, I like it. :) | 02:02 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Thanks for the help guys. | 02:03 |
| holstein | Tim-xubuntu97w: then, try #ubuntu or the mailing list if you want to fool around and see what you have broken upgrading. otherwise, reinstallation should be the quickest | 02:03 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | I think so. I just gotta get the printer shared the same.. | 02:03 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | Thanks again for your insight! | 02:04 |
| holstein | i would probalby just do a headless, x-less command line machine for a printserver.. | 02:04 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | I would too, but I want a desktop to fool around on as well. The samba/cups server is still running fine. | 02:05 |
| holstein | you can "fool around" with live CD's. and VM's | 02:06 |
| holstein | i say, set up the server for the task, and use live CD's to mess around.. or, dual boot.. or be prepared for your server to be broken | 02:07 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | true.. true.. I'm gonna try re-running the X11RDP-o-Matic script I got from scarygliders. | 02:07 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | You guys have a good night, thanks again for your help. | 02:07 |
| holstein | that script could be broken in 14.04.. or not support 14.04 | 02:07 |
| holstein | or, just be broken since the upgrade | 02:07 |
| Tim-xubuntu97w | It's not.. but it wasn't in 13.10 either. :) | 02:08 |
| holstein | i mean, its not a xubuntu script.. its not something that shipped with either | 02:08 |
| holstein | plug in a monitor, test.. reduce variables.. right now, you are testing many things at once.. | 02:08 |
| Ca3sar | can i enable multitouch on my macbook with xubuntu? if i touch the trackpad with mutiple fingers the mouse will not move | 02:29 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: nothing about xubuntu or ubuntu or linux prevents apple from providing you support for multitouch in linux/xubuntu | 02:30 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: if its not working "out of the box" it may take some configuration.. or, it may just not work | 02:30 |
| holstein | you can reference.. | 02:31 |
| holstein | !mac | 02:31 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 02:31 |
| Ca3sar | Oh okay | 02:31 |
| Ca3sar | the task bar at the top keeps disappearing when i hover over it, and reappears when my mouse goes below the middle of the screen | 02:51 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: in XFCE? you have a panel at the top that is hiding? | 02:51 |
| Ca3sar | holstein: yes | 02:52 |
| Ca3sar | holstein: and sorry I'm very new here | 02:52 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: *if* thats the case, you can right click it, go into settings and set it to not auto hide | 02:52 |
| Ca3sar | holstein: auto hide is unchecked | 02:53 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: then, its like not autohiding then | 02:53 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: could be virtual resolution making the screen "scroll".. | 02:54 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: try setting the screen resolution differently and test for that | 02:54 |
| Ca3sar | it only goes away when the mouse touches it | 02:54 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: i dont understand | 02:54 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: nothing should go away when the mouse touches it.. | 02:54 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: please try and elaborate and share a screenshot | 02:56 |
| holstein | !paste | 02:56 |

| Ca3sar | both images here http://imgur.com/jwbcrXi,9VFUza9#0 | 03:00 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: i would disable hiding.. | 03:02 |
| Ca3sar | hiding isn't on? | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: you can try in the guest account. you can remove the config for the panel.. you can remove the *entire* panel.. and make a new one that is not hiding.. there are many ways to deal with it | 03:02 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: the panel *is* hiding.. | 03:03 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: dont worry with what tick boxes are checked.. just keep trying things til it works.. | 03:03 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: right click.. add another panel.. test it.. | 03:03 |
| holstein | logout, login using the xfce session and not the xubuntu session | 03:03 |
| holstein | try the guest account.. | 03:03 |
| Ca3sar | guest works. hm | 03:05 |
| holstein | so you can remove the config in your users /home.. | 03:05 |
| Ca3sar | in my main account? how? | 03:08 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/224006/resetting-xfce-panels-to-default-settings outlines how i would do it | 03:09 |
| holstein | Ca3sar: ^ | 03:09 |
| RJ45 | Hi, running Xubuntu 12.04.3 here, I just noticed a process with no name in Task Manager, it appears idle with RSS 17MiB, however, it doesn't show-up in Gnome System Monitor, only in Task Manager (the one that comes with Xubuntu), does anyone else here have a process with no name? | 03:26 |
| RJ45 | wait, nevermind, I just checked the PID in Gnome System Monitor, and apparently it's just my Monitorix installation :) | 03:30 |
| RJ45 | weird how it displays as blank in Task Manager though | 03:31 |
| RJ45 | ..I have so many different system monitors installed XD <3 linux | 03:32 |

| enarion | hello, could anyone here help me remapping a key from my keyboard please ? i've tried xmodmap but it doesn't seem to work | 10:15 |
| brainwash | enarion: you should pastebin your xmodmap config and explain what exactly you've tried so far | 10:17 |
| enarion | ok. i'm french, i use the keyboard french-alternative because i can write characters like œ with it. but the behaviour of the right control is not the same. instead of calling Control_R (like in classic french), the key is ISO_Level5_Shift, and it bothers me in some use cases. | 10:18 |
| enarion | so i've created a .xmodmaprc file containing keycode 105 = Control_R, and launched xmodmap .xmodmaprc in a terminal. | 10:19 |
| adesst | is there any option of clone or extend when external monitor attach? i've googled and found that i could set it from Display settings and do manual X-offset setting | 10:20 |
| enarion | and I don't know where I can find this xmodmap config file? | 10:21 |
| enarion | i'm back, sorry brainwash | 11:06 |
| enarion | my computer randomly poweroff sometimes | 11:06 |
| enarion | i don't know if you answered | 11:06 |

| beautyofthebaud | Hello, quick question that I can only find outdated information for: Installed Xubuntu to use with cs:go native client, but the xubuntu-set minimum for mouse acceleration is .1 -- how do I completely disable mouse acceleration? | 15:54 |

| xubuntu24w | what is the 'root password' in xubuntu | 16:59 |
| xangua | There is no root password | 17:00 |
| xangua | !noroot | 17:00 |
| ubottu | We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 17:00 |
| slickymasterWork | xubuntu24w: also take a read at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:01 |
| xubuntu24w | i wanted to install ESET antivirus for Linux but the installation procedure say it needs root pasword | 17:01 |
| xangua | Use your user password | 17:02 |
| xubuntu24w | the installation wont take it | 17:02 |
| xangua | Also is there a particular reason to install it? | 17:02 |
| xangua | Does your user account have administrative privileges? This is the one you created when installed ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| xubuntu24w | i have no idea about it | 17:04 |
| nomic | you can do "sudo su" to get "root" | 17:07 |
| nomic | ie. what you would have as "root" in say, fedora | 17:07 |
| nomic | sudo is safer | 17:07 |
