[00:15] hi, guys. i've been planning to share a folder within my WORKGROUP.... however everytime i run shares-admin on terminal it open a gui and i get an error that says Sharing Services are not installed. It says I need to install at least either Samba or NFS in order go share my folders - Install Unix network support (NFS) and Install network support (SMB)... I clicked Install services and a new window says Could not install package. what is wr [00:42] Hi [00:54] hola [01:56] Quit === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath === RedDeath is now known as Guest99309 [02:32] is there anyway i can remove the mounted internal hdd icons from my desktop? === weems_ is now known as weems [02:35] xubuntu09w, settings [02:35] settings > desktop > Icons [02:36] that will also remove all removable drives like usb [02:36] i had it working before i updated to 14.04 [02:42] nothing? [02:43] I just turn them all off too [02:43] well i would like to see when usb flash drives and usb hdds are mounted [02:44] I understand :) I just don't know of a way to do that [02:47] there was with ntfs configuration tool [02:47] but it will not work on build 14.04 [05:27] <__unik> hello. xubuntu - How can I change the cursor in GTK app? setting in xubuntu only changes the cursor in qt apps [06:30] hi, I'm having issues with my interface and I don't know why. I haven't installed nor removed anything but regular updates in a while. During guest session everything looks fine. [06:33] What happens is that my desktop icons are disappeared (but present in the desktop folder), windows don't have status nor header bar (the one with close and minimize buttons, just to be clear), and windows management is compromised, so that commands like Alt+tab s [06:33] does not work [06:34] plus, I don't see open applications/folder/anything on the main bar [06:36] if two applications are open at the same time and one is in background on desktop, clicking it doesn't place it ahead, it just doesn't activate as current main application [06:38] On firefox, some of the buttons does not operate the assigned command (like the options one), but using keyboard shortcuts it does [06:40] I also tried starting a xfce session instead of the regular xubuntu one (don't know what the differences should be) and the problems persist [06:40] i tried with update and upgrade, nothing changed [06:43] In the general settings (don't know what the english name is, I'm using italian version), the "windods manager" does not work [07:57] Why are Suspend and Hibernate items disabled in xfce4-power-manager's menu in tray? (I am using ubuntustudio) [09:00] hi, how to disable automatical blank screen in xubuntu?I set the monitor to never blank screen, but when I watch flash videos for about 10 minutes, the system still goes into dark. why? [09:32] is there any body can give me some clues [09:36] wlxmhls, do you have xscreensaver running? [09:44] wlxmhls, what does command "xscreensaver-command -v" tell in terminal? [09:47] wlxmhls, where did you disable automatic blanking? In power manager or in screensaver settings? Command "xset q" tells screen power management settings in terminal. [10:17] jarnos, sorry, I just come back. xscreensaver was removed from my box. So no xscreensaver command here. I disabled automatic blanking in power manager. [10:18] jarnos, "xset q" says : Screen Saver:prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600 [10:19] jarnos, maybe that is the cause? [10:19] set the time you want in light locker settings/ check xfce power manager - then run the xset command again [10:20] wlxmhls, yes, does the output change, if you change settings in the power manager? [10:21] jarnos, the output above is after set blanking to "never" in power manager [10:22] wlxmhls, what if you still change the setting there to something else anf back to never? [10:24] jarnos, the output is the same [10:26] elfy, no light locker settings found [10:26] wlxmhls, "xset s off" helps. Alternatively change light-locker settings as advices by elfy. It does the same thing. [10:27] jarnos, I removed light-locker, too [10:27] wlxmhls, it is an item in settings manager. [10:27] wlxmhls, then just do xset s off [10:28] jarnos, yeah. after doing "xset s off", the "xset q" outputs same? [10:29] wlxmhls, isn't timeout 0 then? [10:30] jarnos, sorry, I missed it. yeah, it is 0 now. thanks [10:30] jarnos, then it means taking effect now? [10:31] wlxmhls, yes [10:31] wlxmhls, never [10:31] jarnos, thank you very much [10:53] I run this command "sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver && gnome-screensaver &" but now apt-get went to background and does not finnish. [10:53] I can't install packages anymore. [10:53] jarnos, wait, we're running gnome screensaver on xubuntu? yuck. [10:54] cfhowlett, just testing [10:56] I tried killing the apt-get command by -SIGTERM, but it did not work. I hope package management did not break. [11:05] jarnos: I assume it tells you it's locked? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1776502&p=10943171&viewfull=1#post10943171 [11:08] elfy, now apt-cache install complains: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [11:13] elfy, I removed that as well. It worked. thansk [12:53] how to install windows8 fonts? [12:54] xubuntu401, mssoftcorefonts are in the xubunt-restricted-extras metapackage [12:56] Thanks. WIll this pacakge change fonts everywhere(menus, text, web browser)? [12:57] xubuntu401, no. go into display settings and select your font options. [17:00] bello ^^ [17:43] hello, i just installed xubuntu last night and my audio just cut out. why? [17:52] Finetundra, could you be a bit more specific. Without any more details nobody is going to be able to help [17:56] Wollie88, my audio just cut out, stopped working for no apperent reason [17:57] *apparent [17:57] Finetundra, are you sure its not muted [17:58] Wollie88, it is not [17:59] Finetundra, is your soundcard still being detected by xubuntu [17:59] yes [18:06] Wollie88, restarting doesn't seem to have helped [18:07] Finetundra, is your output set to the right output on your card ? [18:08] only one card Wollie88 [18:08] Finetundra, yes but it might have multiple outputs [18:08] Wollie88, i also don't seem to be able to play any type of media [18:09] Finetundra, you could try to reinstall alsa [18:10] Finetundra, that might make it work again [18:10] Wollie88, ok, i'll give that a shot [18:28] FYI > Debian Jessie to be 'frozen' on 5th of November [18:46] howdy [18:47] I notice in Manjaro I have a panel feature not present in Xubuntu 14.10 beta http://imgur.com/wOF21Gx [18:47] Is this because I'm using a newer Xfce version or what? [18:47] That's actually an unmerged, WIP upstream branch. [18:48] What is WIP? [18:48] and what do you mean unmerged? [18:48] ugh, when I see the word "intelligently" used anywhere in computer context, I know that I will have a bad time [18:48] howdy, y'all CountryfiedLinux [18:49] hey vrkalak [18:50] CountryfiedLinux: Work in progress, it's not in git master yet (IIRC) [18:50] deshipu, Well hide intelligently means that the panel detects maximized windows and hides until the focused window is no longer maximized/fullscreen. [18:50] Unit193, So how did I get it in Manjaro? [18:51] Unit193, Unstable branch which is Arch stable packages. [18:51] CountryfiedLinux: doesn't matter, it'sbound to grow more rules soon [18:52] Ah, it's been merged to master, but no released version contains it. I'm not Manjaro, nor do I use it, but it'd appear your package is from git head? [18:52] What do you mean "grow more rules"? And it certainly matters to me. [18:53] just take a look at http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/log/ [18:53] Unit193, Oh I see. Well lucky me. That must be why the feature isn't implemented fully. I have to click the minimize button on the window border for it to work, clicking the window list button just hides the panel entirely. [18:54] CountryfiedLinux: Right, I do remember reading some scrollback about a few issues, though I'd think the devs would like to hear feedback and bugs. [18:55] Unit193, It seems I was the only person to make a bug report on that. I still haven't gotten a response of any kind regarding that. [19:00] none of my programs are launching [19:00] help [19:01] Finetundra: i would just break down what can be happening.. try the guest account.. try launching with alt+f2.. test hardware if "odd" issues persist system-wide [19:02] checking [19:02] if things are "normal" with the guest account, then, you likely have issues in your users /home configs [19:02] log out is also being very slow [19:03] Here's what I reported 5 days ago https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11222 nothing has been done with it at all [19:03] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 11222 in Panel "Hide Intelligently doesn't work properly when clicking on the window buttons in the panel." [Normal,New] [19:03] Finetundra: try and take the issues one at a time, and dont troubleshoot many things at once.. literally igrnome the logout speed for now.. or, test the hardware if you feel maybe bad ram is causing all the issues [19:03] CountryfiedLinux: this is not that community, though, that is where i would file.. upstream if possible.. [19:04] CountryfiedLinux: Ah, nice. [19:04] I don't get it holstein I clicked report bugs and reported it. I didn't know that. [19:06] holstein, How do I report it upstream? [19:06] CountryfiedLinux: You did. [19:07] hello [19:07] It was assigned to Nick Schermer. Maybe he's been really busy lately or on vacation. [19:07] even after the 14.04.1 fix for laptop lid bug (screen stays turned off) ...settings in the power manager are still ignored. [19:07] ie. i set "when laptop lid is closed" to do nothing, and closing the lid still puts the laptop in suspend/hibernate [19:08] ok, i am able to run some programs but all media is not able to play [19:08] at this point i'm considering reinstalling [19:09] all media? please explain what you've tried exactly [19:10] CountryfiedLinux: you have reported it to xfce.. but, this is the xubuntu community.. xubuntu is just using XFCE.. you can try reporting the bug in ubuntu, but i would just follow up in that community where you reported.. i think that is the "Best".. assuming you can get attention [19:10] Finetundra: i would just relax.. remember that a minute ago, no applications were opening at all.. is the guest account able to play any media? [19:10] hii [19:11] delt: bug 1307545 [19:11] bug 1307545 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1307545 [19:11] brainwash, i cannot play videos or music from a web browser nor a media player( like rythmbox) [19:11] Finetundra: doesnt play, or you dont get audio? [19:11] anyone can solve my problem [19:11] ?? [19:11] !ask | vijay [19:11] vijay: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:11] holstein, Well it seems nobody is doing anything about it, that's why I'm here. [19:11] holstein, just doesn't play. i am using xchat in the gues account [19:11] *guest [19:12] holstein, Not being condescending, just reporting my findings. [19:12] CountryfiedLinux: ok.. you can start reporting to xubuntu specifically.. if you like [19:12] ok thanks [19:12] CountryfiedLinux: im not trying to be abrasive at all, either.. its just not the community that you have reported to.. which can be confusing.. [19:12] brainwash: thanks [19:14] Finetundra: what kind of files? i would play known good and supported open codec audio locally.. not mp3's and flash videos.. [19:15] i had win 7 on my c drive.I decided to replace it by xubuntu 14.04.Installation process asked me to unmount all drives.I didnt unmounted n choosed to install on c drive.But something went wrong after that.Now the file format of the whole drive had changed to unspecified format.Then i decided to install xubuntu all fresh. [19:16] CountryfiedLinux: I recommend that you take a look at https://www.bountysource.com/teams/xfce [19:16] And now want to recover my data. [19:16] vijay: what data? windows? [19:16] how to do it on xubuntu [19:16] vijay: you asked the installer to wipe windows.. correct? [19:16] no oin other drives [19:16] yes [19:17] !recover [19:17] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [19:17] but somethin went wrong [19:17] i know data is safe there.but is there any tool.had 100gb of movies [19:18] vijay: i would backup what i want before doing anything else.. its a matter of time til you lose all that data anyway [19:18] thanx..btw [19:18] yay :D fixed! [19:19] win had a recuva like softare\ [19:19] vijay: there are many listed above [19:19] ok [19:19] vijay: i just mount the drive from the live CD and make copies/backups [19:19] brainwash, Is this a community thing for reporting stuff? [19:21] bounties are typically where, when a bounty (price) is reached, something that has been promised to be address at that price gets addressed [19:21] !bug [19:21] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [19:22] CountryfiedLinux: ^ thats where you could report or find the bug already reported in ubuntu/xubuntu.. but, upstream is usually the best way to go.. which is what you did. they may just be busy, as you say [19:24] hello, i'm back [19:24] hey i m totally new to linux.Installed xubuntu .Can someone guide me to basics [19:24] some ol resource [19:25] vijay: what are you trying to do? [19:25] CountryfiedLinux: bountysource is linked to the Xfce bug tracker, so you can place a bounty on your own bug report and hope that it attracts someone who is able to fix it [19:25] just exploring [19:25] CountryfiedLinux: you can find some examples here https://www.bountysource.com/teams/xfce/issues [19:25] vijay: what are you used to? windows? [19:26] i wanted to learn coding n all stuff and open source [19:26] yes im used to win [19:26] vijay: i say, just try and take it on like you did windows.. try just using the OS for a while and explore it.. there are lots of coding resources.. [19:27] vijay: nothing in linux is hiding from you, and its quite vast to want to learn coding n all stuff.. i say, get one task, and try and solve it.. take it slow.. [19:27] ok thanks brainwash [19:28] CountryfiedLinux: it's just another way to help the Xfce project :) [19:29] thnx .I get you [19:30] ok.parole player is giving gstream backend error!! [19:31] vijay: on what content? have you added the codecs you are required to have to play the content? [19:31] how can i add codecs [19:31] vijay: for what content? [19:31] no video is runnning [19:31] vijay: what video? [19:32] neither mp4 nor avi [19:32] any format [19:32] !restricted [19:32] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:32] vijay: those files are not allowed to be supported by xubuntu "out of the box" [19:33] vijay: you can add codec support easily [19:33] how can i add codec support [19:33] command plz [19:34] there is no restriction msg..ot hink its codecs problem [19:35] vijay: i *know* it is.. if you havent added support for those file types. they are not open.. they are restricted [19:35] sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras libavcodec-extra [19:35] will this command work [19:35] vijay: if you use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats ,which is a lot like a guide that you asked for before, you can see that you can add the codec.. one way to add them all is with "xubuntu-restricted-extras [19:36] thnx [19:39] Hey holstein brainwash I figured out why. I have Xfce 4.11 and Xubuntu Utopic has 4.10. [19:39] you might have added a PPA.. [19:39] the about xfce is incorrect on my system [19:39] nope, Manjaro here [19:39] CountryfiedLinux: this is the xubuntu channel..

[19:41] CountryfiedLinux: xfce is the "Best" place to address your concern.. the bugbounty is a great suggestion [19:42] or if not #manjaro === Htbrdd1_ is now known as Htbrdd === EugeneBandit is now known as ffawn === ffawn is now known as EugeneBandit [22:10] there....
