[04:22] halo [04:26] Greetings & Welcome [04:33] what good twitter client for xubuntu 14 bro? [04:34] http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-birdie-twitter-client-in-ubuntu-14-04 [04:34] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/07/install-corebird-ubuntu-ppa/ [04:35] http://jfnlinuxproject.blogspot.com/2014/05/5-twitter-clients-for-linux.html [04:36] oke im try [05:31] does anyone when the new xubuntu-14.10 will be released ? (expected release date) [05:32] I dont know. Does any one knows if LibreOffice temporary save files in case it get freezed? [05:33] vrkalak, 23rd i think [05:34] Debian-testing is due to be 'frozen' ... not ubuntu or it's apps [05:34] knosys, libreoffice does have /temp save functionality [05:34] vrkalak, i'm testing final release candidates as we chat :) [05:34] ObrienDave, it's only about a week ... i can live with that [05:35] thanks, ObrienDave [05:35] cfhowlett: do you know if its by default enabled? thanks [05:35] knosys, > tools > options you can specify /temp save target [05:49] cfhowlett: when i restarted the application it autosuggested me to recover, nice [05:49] no harm done [05:49] thanks [05:58] ObrienDave, I am an Admin and a 'spy' for Mint-Xfce [05:58] vrkalak, LOL ok if you say so :) [09:27] Hello everyone! I'd like to ask a question. I didn't find specific problem in the internet. So it's as follows: [09:30] When i create a new launcher from MenuLibre it creates it fine, shows it and i can reorder it edit aso. It saves the new launcher under .local/share/applications with a name "menulibre-lighttable.desktop". All the other files don't have "menulibre-" name. Anyway all is fine, but when i close the Menulibre and open MenuLibre again it won't show my newly created launcher anymore. It's present in start menu though but MenuLibre wont show it a [09:30] nd i can't edit it obviously anymore. [09:30] Hope i don't preach any rules by typing a long question. [09:32] System application launchers or shortcuts are all stored under /usr/share/applications [09:34] Mostly using default configuration of xubuntu 14.04 x64 with whisker menu and all. [09:51] Tondinahk, it's designed that the launchers go into your home, because a regular user shouldn't touch the system launchers, only override them at the most extreme case [09:52] Tondinahk, have you searched for that launcher in menulibre? are you sure it isn't shown somewhere else than where you created it? (that would be a bug as well i guess) [09:53] Tondinahk, finally, especially if you can reproduce that, file a bug and i'll try to confirm it and we'll then forward it to the menulibre developer [09:53] Well WhiskerMenu shows it and i can search for it MenuLibre can't find it. I have tried to search for it under MenuLibre nothing. [09:54] I remember this problem way back already actually but i'm lazy to file the bugs. [09:54] ok, in that case can you check if you can reproduce that with another launcher [09:54] and keep the file that isn't showing in menulibre in a safe place to attach it to the bug [09:57] Yea funny i can create other launcher with a system command which works as expected. Trying another program which isn't installed in a system. [09:59] hi all. does anyone maybe know why 'weather update' is not working properly last days and gives 'no data' many hours during the day? [10:03] akis, i believe the weather sites have again updated their API so the applet can't get the data. a fix is on the way, but not sure when it will land [10:04] knome: why the applet works for a while only and then stops? [10:05] akis, i don't know. [10:05] hi, how to make windows to open at center , or better , to the last know position ? [10:06] knome: do you think that is right to report this issue on "askubuntu"? [10:06] akis, well, it's known, and i don't know why you would "report" it on askubuntu [10:07] akis, askubuntu is not the place where developers look what bugs are filed/reported [10:07] akis, if you want to be helpful, file a bug in launchpad (though one might exist already) [10:08] knome: ok. i though that developers read 'askubuntu'. [10:08] they might or might not, but that's definitely not the main source of their information [10:09] LP: #1377612, xfce 10916 [10:09] Launchpad bug 1377612 in Xfce4 weather plugin "[SRU] Plugin needs updated for locationforecast-1.2" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1377612 [10:09] xfce bug 10916 in General "Plugin has to be updated or will soon stop working" [Normal,Reopened] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10916 [10:09] hey don't overshadow my question pls :p [10:09] It's in proposed. [10:09] knome: i tried already using google to find any discussion about this issue but i found nothing [10:09] hello [10:09] alket, you might want to look at gdevilspie [10:10] akis: See links above. [10:10] when i instaled Lubuntu i had windows xp sp2. Later i was replace windows xp sp2 (with norton ghost) with windows xp sp3 and i have error - when Lubuntu is starting there is message that it can't recognize partition where is windows and ask me if i want to wait or skip mounting, i used NTFS configuration tool and partition is mounted in system, but i still have that message when starting Lubuntu. How to fix this? [10:10] suncokret, this is not the lubuntu support channel. [10:10] akis, Open up your software sources & enable the -proposed repo, then update sources. You should then see an update for xfce4-weather-plugin to 0.8.3-1ubuntu0.1 [10:11] install it, then re-open your software sources & disable the proposed repo [10:11] knome, it is same problem for xubuntu too [10:12] knome there is a bug already for my problem (MenuLibre not showing custom launcher) but there's no reply and status is undecided. [10:12] Tondinahk, please paste the bug number [10:13] knome, yea sorry: 1373982 [10:14] Tondinahk, if you can attach the .desktop file that isn't showing up in menulibre to the bug, that would be helpful [10:14] Tondinahk, also the version of menulibre and xubuntu you are using [10:14] knome, Okei, i'll try. Haven't filed bugs before. Just a comment with an attached file? [10:14] Tondinahk, yep [10:15] Tondinahk, you want to click the "add attachment or patch" link first, you can also write a comment there [10:15] slickymasterWork: do i have to enable 'pre-released updates (tusty-proposed)'? [10:16] yes akis, it will then prompt you for your password, enter it and reload your sources [10:17] so, does somebody know how i can fix problem? [10:20] suncokret, this sounds like you used the ubuntu "windows" installer. did you? [10:21] slickymasterWork: do i have to download all the available software or just the 'weather information plugin'? can i disable 'pre-released updates' after i download plugin's update or should i leave it enable? [10:21] Hello. Did anybody has an issue with LibreOffice crashing the Notification widget ? [10:22] cfhowlett, i have double boot : lubuntu and xp === qwebirc1013476 is now known as slickymasterWork [10:25] suncokret, obviously you know that xp is DEAD^3 no security no support. suggest you kill xp and install an ubuntu only machine [10:26] do you know how i can fix problem with message? [10:27] suncokret, no idea but ... using windows tools to manager your linux partitions is likely to cause problems. [10:28] knome, okei replied to the bug topic https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/menulibre/+bug/1373982 . [10:28] Ubuntu bug 1373982 in menulibre (Ubuntu) "MenuLibre won't show a new custom launcher after exiting" [Undecided,New] [10:28] suncokret, it's not reporting breakage, it's verifying partition = normal behavior. my dual boot does the same thing. [10:29] i didn't use windows tools, i used linux NTFC configuration tool [10:29] *ntfs [10:30] fixed. thank you for your advises! [10:31] Tondinahk, cheers, i will try to get that confirmed soon [10:31] thanks knome! [12:04] Hi, there. [12:05] My 64 bits Xubuntu installation does not recognise my 4GB of RAM. [12:17] cjdm: do you have a integrated vga? some of the ram is used for it [12:21] I have a GA-945GCM-S2L motherboard, http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2669#sp [12:30] and you do not use a seperate vga card? [12:32] cjdm: how much of RAM does it recognise? [12:33] elfy: 3 of 4GB [12:33] koegs: no. [12:45] I am installing Xubuntu and it says encrypt disk. What disk encryption does? [12:47] graybis: dm-crypt === ponbiki is now known as Guest94599 [12:49] Is proxychains supported by Xubuntu? [12:49] cjdm: i would check the bios for an option to delegate some of the RAM to the vga chip [12:49] graybis: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=proxychains [12:49] koegs: thanks, I think I should flash the BIOS. [12:50] cjdm: why flash? [12:51] koegs: Because the version I have does not offer me many options, It's a little bit old, from 2008. [14:39] alguem sabe me informar se o XUBUNTU 14.04 está disponivel em portugues brasil? [14:40] !es | WELLTHON [14:40] WELLTHON: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [14:44] !br WELLTHON [14:44] !br | WELLTHON [14:44] WELLTHON: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br " sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [14:51] * cfhowlett will someday learn to distinguish Spanish from Brazilian Portugues. [14:53] Hola cómo está voce today mi amigo cfhowlett [14:53] cfhowlett: Portuguese, whether from Brazil or Portugal, sounds vaguely more like Latin than Spanish does. That's how I tell. [14:55] xangua == trollmaster [14:56] heh [15:03] Hedgework: lol, I might disagree with you on that [15:04] slickymasterWork: Oh? What is your impression? [15:04] (note that I'm a Latin geek but I have no real working knowledge of Spanish or Portuguese) [15:05] Hedgework probably doesn't know which bit of the Iberian Peninsula slickymasterWork hails from [15:05] * Hedgework had no idea where slickymasterWork was from in general, aside from "probably Earth or thereabouts" [15:05] well, since I'm portuguese, and have a basic grasp of spanish, I would say that both idioms have a huge Latin influence and both equally sound Latin [15:05] lol [15:06] Interesting. Both are Romance languages (derived from Latin primarily), but I've always found that Portuguese felt vaguely closer than Spanish to me. [15:07] that would be due to the fact that you probably are used to ear/see spanish more than portuguese [15:07] s/ear/hear [15:07] That may be it. [15:07] dam 'h' key [15:07] *damn [16:19] hey! hello there, i have a question about skype. is there any audio filter for the mic? i mean, i use it in my netbook and it also gets the netbook sound, fans, hardisk... thanks! [16:20] xubuntu86w, you can tune the microphone sensibility on pavucontrol settings [16:48] Greetings Everyone! :) [16:50] |hi | carrera [16:50] !hi | carrera [16:50] carrera: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! [16:52] I ran Xubuntu on my 18.4" Toshiba Qosmio for most of 2013 [16:52] and I loved it! [16:53] but I don't like zeitgeist [16:53] so I moved to Debian Jessie and XFCE [16:53] but I miss Xubuntu and wanna move back [16:54] is there any way to remove zeitgeist without screwing up the system? [16:57] !zeitgeist | carrera [16:58] !zeitgeist-core | carrera [17:01] slickymaster, thanks. It seems like a lot of packages are tightly coupled with zeitgeist [18:09] Hi, someone know where to edit the size of the start button to get bigger icon ? my bottom bar is currently like that http://i.imgur.com/WuhCjQl.png [18:16] qwebirc92783, thats happening because you are using the option to have two rows in the panel, so the icon is setting itself to one of the rows [18:17] i don't know of a way to avoid this [18:22] GridCube: Yes it is true, I use 2 rows, and if I use 1 row, all other plugins will be bigger And is not what I want. [18:23] qwebirc92783, you could fill a bug report to xfce4-panel and hope one day someone fixes that [18:24] where ? [18:25] on xfce or whiskermenu ? [18:26] GridCube: here is what I set in two way http://i.imgur.com/Mh88BzE.png http://i.imgur.com/FanVmdx.png [18:27] mmm, i think its xfce, but maybe whiskersmenu can address the issue as well? i don't know, it might [18:30] oh, i remember the workaround we found last time this issue arised XD [18:30] it wasn't pretty [18:31] you can add a panel containin just the launcher and set it to the bottom corner, then rezise the other panel to leave tha space empty to the other side and vualá [18:33] oh Yes !!! GridCube you really SMARt !!! [18:33] thank you :)) [18:35] you still should report the bug qwebirc92783, its not an elegant solution [18:56] GridCube: yes true and the width is not perfect when I add both bar. One of the two bars is overlayed to the other or else it is too short. [18:57] mmhm, yes [18:57] not elegant at all [18:59] GridCube: had to use a trick, adding an additional element (invisible space) containing the menu bar. [19:01] GridCube: Here is the final result. http://i.imgur.com/TIj8xDw.png [19:02] Nostalgia :) [19:08] qwebirc92783, look, i used 3 panels to make the bottom ponel thingy http://i.imgur.com/xGfIfaB.png [19:11] well gotta go, good luck qwebirc92783 :) [20:02] Hi everyone. Is there a way to increase the snapping distance of windows somewhere in XFCE? [20:03] Sometimes I find it difficult to drag to resize windows, especially with a touchpad [20:05] batfastad: Settings Manager > Window Manager > Advanced. [20:10] Unit193: Ah yes, saw that. On re-reading what I wrote that does as I asked. [20:11] But I think what I actually meant was is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of the mouse over the edges of windows to get the dragging handles? If that makes sense? [20:15] batfastad: Perhaps you'd be interested in knowing of alt+drag? [20:15] Sometimes it's like the dragging handles are only available over a 1-2px margin over the window border, then the action of clicking the mouse moves the pointer off the border and makes it difficult to drag [20:15] can anyone tell me how to remove zeitgeist from xubuntu without breaking the system? [20:16] carrera: sudo apt-get purge libzeitgeist* zeitgeist* [20:16] Unit193: Aha, that's good for dragging. But I'm looking for help in resizing windows [20:17] batfastad: Right, I meant to say right click to resize. Sorry. [20:18] Unit193, thanks. What about zeitgeist-core? Doesn't that do all the logging? [20:18] carrera: That'd get purged too. [20:19] Also, doesn't anything in xubuntu depend on libzeitgeist [20:19] Might, it'll ask you to confirm before it'll actually get rid of anything. [20:19] I know, for example, gEdit and Nautilus depend on libzeitgeist [20:20] Unit193: Wow - you just blew my mind!! That. Is. Awesome! [20:20] batfastad: Hah, glad I could help. [20:20] carrera: Ah, since I use neither and they don't come by default, I wouldn't know about that. [20:20] Unit193, have you successfully removed zeitgeist from your system? [20:21] Sure, I don't have it here. [20:21] Awesome! :) [20:21] Unit193: Thanks for your help - that's brilliant :D [20:21] batfastad: Have a great day. :) [20:22] cause I remember changing the look and feel of my ubuntu system when I tried to remove it in April 2014 [20:22] That's when I moved to xubuntu [20:23] and I loved it, except after a couple of months, I noticed that the dreaded zeitgeist was there [20:23] too [20:23] Then I moved to Debian Jessie + XFCE [20:24] but I wanna move back to xubuntu [20:24] Unit193, why is zeitgeist included in xubuntu anyway? [20:25] Because something Xubuntu ships with recommends or depends on it. [20:31] do you know what that some thing is? [20:32] I think Richard Stallman is not happy about zeitgeist [20:32] He thinks Ubuntu is spying on people [20:34] carrera: That's all fine and dandy for him, he's allowed. But this really isn't the place for that, it's a support channel. [20:36] Okay! :) [20:38] I have 2 SSD drives in my laptop. Does xubuntu 14.04 or 14.10 iso include support for SoftRAID? [20:38] I think 14.04 is over 950 MB now [21:00] hi ,xubuntu world! [21:00] works! [21:02] Ive installed xubuntu on this laptop, because the mashine is sloooow. I would like now to check the general info of the laptop in order to see if I can upgrade it. [21:08] is there a grafic software to do this or should I use terminal? [21:11] !info hardinfo | xubuntu631 [21:11] xubuntu631: hardinfo (source: hardinfo): Displays system information. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1.2ubuntu4 (trusty), package size 210 kB, installed size 486 kB [21:12] lshw-gtk, but I like lshw better (and there's even an html page generator). [21:16] thanx krytarik ! I run !info in Terminal. Hope to get somewhere... [21:17] xubuntu631: That'd be "sudo apt-get install hardinfo" though, to install it. :) [21:22] works! thanx krytarik [21:27] Anybody got any ideas about the weather-applet not working the last few days? [21:27] need to learn first what (where) is the RAM, is there a free slot to add one, will the mashine take it if i add one. [21:27] mic-w: no ideas, but I had noticed it as well [21:29] [06:09:15] < Unit193> LP: #1377612, xfce 10916 [21:29] Launchpad bug 1377612 in Xfce4 weather plugin "[SRU] Plugin needs updated for locationforecast-1.2" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1377612 [21:29] pleia2; Somebody on the ubuntuforums was saying about enabling the trusty proposed repo, doing an update, removing it, reinstalling after a reboot, then disabling the repo again; sound feasible?
