jostHi... My keyboard layout changed since my last boot of XUbuntu (worked in Windows 7 in the meanwhile). I got an american layout (want german). So I changed it back, now its a german layout again. But the "Alt Gr" key (used for brakets,  ät and so on) does not work. Is there a way to reset the keyboard to the settings they had on install?06:21
jostgot it, just replugged the keyboard06:29
jost+06:30
xubuntu553hi06:42
MooDoohello all06:59
AerganHi there, can someone help me with my keyboard layout settings? My keyboard layout is set to en_gb but is behaving like en_us before login and during a user session08:45
AerganIf I override them in Keyboard > Layout it's already set to en_gb (but doesn't work)08:46
MooDoohave you seen this ? - http://askubuntu.com/questions/471849/change-keyboard-layout-permanently-in-xubuntu-14-0408:46
AerganIf I add en_us to the list below, it works for the user session but not for light-locker or SSH08:46
MooDooor this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/66096/how-to-set-up-xfce4-xkb-plugin-to-remember-settings-over-reboots08:47
AerganThanks but /etc/default/keyboard is set correctly too but it's defaulting still to en_us08:49
AerganThe workaround to add another layout to Keyboard > layout is working for my XFCE4 session but not via SSH or Light-locker when my session is locked08:50
MooDoonot sure then sorry08:54

AerganLooks like ibus might be the culprit08:54
AerganThanks anyway, will see if the suggestions to purge it work08:55
MooDoo:)08:57
knomeAergan, if you have that issue, i strongly suggest reading the release announcement/notes next time, because they do list that and also explain the situation08:58

iTechHello everyone, I have a problem installing Xubuntu 14.04 (sorry for my english I'm french). So I burned the CD, I verified it and everything is good to go but when I hit Try Xubuntu, the logo appears and it's loading, then my computer reboot. I was on Ubuntu 14.04 before.09:06
iTechAnyone ?10:03
LuyiniTech: what's your question?10:04
iTech[11:06] <iTech> Hello everyone, I have a problem installing Xubuntu 14.04 (sorry for my english I'm french). So I burned the CD, I verified it and everything is good to go but when I hit Try Xubuntu, the logo appears and it's loading, then my computer reboot. I was on Ubuntu 14.04 before.10:05
LuyiniTech: if you're on ubuntu 14.04 already, why don't you just pull the xfce-meta?10:07
LuyiniTech: you might also want to check if the DVD (surely? Because Xubuntu doesn't fit on a CD anymore) runs fine with other computers10:07
iTechBecause I want a new and clean installation10:08
iTechHum yes it is a DVD, and it is new10:08
iTechI think the problem comes from my graphic card, I had troubles with it when I tried installing Ubuntu, Debian and Linux Mint...It is a AMD Radeon HD 7480D Graphics10:14
Luyinhmmm, AMD.10:16
knosysisnt there a way for him to check any kind of error? like prompt before rebooting anyhow?10:29
iTechShould I try the 64-bit version ?10:29
knosysit should be interesting to know why that happens10:30
knosysif you can ofcourse10:30
knosysbut anyway10:30
knosysit should work..10:30
knomeno, the 64-bit version shouldn't fix the issue if the 32-bit version isn't working10:30
knomeiTech, what kind of problems did you have with the GPU before then? and how did you fix them?10:31
knosysyeah, anyway why installing 32 version, when you have a capable 64 bit system?10:31
iTechWith Ubuntu, the computer was rebooting when I wasn't moving the mouse10:32
iTechBut now, I never had the same problem.10:33

xubuntu77wHello Yesterday it was me first encounter with Xubuntu. I installed it and i have no sound on my old laptop Toshiba Satellite P100 - 275. I searched on internet and found more problems like this. Can anybody help me?11:14
PhoenixSTFdeshipu: yes something about x1111:20

xubuntu874hello all17:17
xubuntu874I need some help17:18
holsteinxubuntu874: just ask, and a volunteer will try and assist you if they can17:18
xubuntu874I downloaded the dogecoin wallet 1.8, I unzipped it but xubuntu doesn't recognize the exe file17:18
stqnhum17:19
xubuntu874can some gentle soul help me please?17:19
stqnif it’s a zip then it’s probably for windows17:19
xubuntu874no it's for linux17:19
holsteinxubuntu874: xubuntu doesnt use those..17:19
holsteinxubuntu874: no, .exe's are for windows17:19
xubuntu874but actually I had the same doubt17:19
xubuntu874ok let me check again17:19
holsteinxubuntu874: its a legitimate doubt.. and a fact.. please ask the maintainers of the project for the proper linux version of the software they make17:20
stqnI wouldn’t run something like that precompiled if it doesn’t come from a trusted repository17:20
holstein^ that too..17:20
xubuntu874it shoul be ok. And the link is for linux os17:20
xubuntu874but the file is .zip17:20
stqnthen you need to chmod +x the binary17:21
holsteinxubuntu874: its not..17:21
holsteinxubuntu874: the link can be incorrect.. could be any number of issues. the .exe's are for windows..17:21
xubuntu874but it is not .exe17:21
elfyif you got it from github - the linux build's don't include exe's17:21
xubuntu874actually I can't see the extension17:21
holsteinxubuntu874: what is it? you stated it was .exe..17:21
xubuntu874it was .zip sorry17:22
holsteinxubuntu874: regardless, they should provide documentation.. or support.. nothing about xubuntu is preventing it from running17:22
xubuntu874ok17:22
holsteinxubuntu874: try simply right clicking on the .zip and extracting what you downloaded, and look for a readme or instructions17:22
xubuntu874yep I did it but no resolution17:23
xubuntu874lol17:23
holsteinxubuntu874: you did what? you extracted the zip?17:23
xubuntu874I thought there was some limitation because of xubuntu. I just installed it.17:23
xubuntu874yes I extracted it17:23
stqnxubuntu874: how long have you been using linux/xubuntu, and can you provide a link to the page where you got that file?17:24
holsteinxubuntu874: ? i was under the impression you are asking for help installing it.. you have it installed? it being the wallet?17:24
xubuntu874there are 3 files. One called degecoin-qt17:24
holsteinxubuntu874: is there a "readme" file?17:24
xubuntu874sI'm new of linux (as you realized lol)17:24
holsteinxubuntu874: you can try running the qt one..17:24
xubuntu874I double click on it17:24
holsteinxubuntu874: try right clicking on it, and in the menu, set it as executable.. *if* you trust the downloaded source17:25
xubuntu874but it asks me to choose a program to open it17:25
xubuntu874hem, how do I set it as executable?17:25
stqnright click -> properties …17:26
xubuntu874ok, but it shows as shared library17:26
stqn-> permissions17:26
xubuntu874in permissions it only allows me to write/read17:26
stqnthere is no " allow this file to be run as a program " ?17:27
holsteinxubuntu874: you should see a checkbox for executable17:27
xubuntu874nope17:27
xanguastqn: what "file"?17:27
holsteinxubuntu874: then, link the page where you got the software, so that we can look for the directions needed17:27
xubuntu874ok, there it is: https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/releases/download/v1.8.0/dogecoin-1.8.0-linux32.zip17:28
holsteinxubuntu874: 1.8 is beta17:29
stqnthey are complete morons for providing a linux binary in a zip17:29
xubuntu874geez17:29
holstein1.8.1.. is that the one you have?17:30
xubuntu874yesI have i.817:30

xubuntu874yes pretty sure17:32
xubuntu874lol17:32
xubuntu874how do I check it?17:32
stqn17:32
xubuntu874anyway I tried also the 64 version17:32
stqnyou’re sure but you want to check? :)17:33
xubuntu874hahahahahahaha I'm a noooooob lol17:33
xubuntu874hem17:33
stqnanyway, open a terminal and type: uname -m17:33
xubuntu874ok17:33
xubuntu874i686    what does it mean?17:34
stqn32 bit :)17:34
xubuntu874ok thanx lol17:34
xubuntu567sorry xubuntu.it is not user17:35
xubuntu874no solutions?17:37
stqnwell… I’m not getting the "program" checkbox either.17:37
stqnbut you can open a terminal and chmod +x the file, as I said17:37
xubuntu874and you too can't see it as executable, I presume17:37
xubuntu874er.....I can't do that lol17:38
xubuntu874I open a terminal, ok. Then.....?17:38
stqnyes you can (woohoo)17:38
xubuntu874hahahahahahaha17:38
xubuntu874ok terminal opened17:38
xubuntu874now I type.....?17:39
stqnsimplest way, if you have a thunar window opened on the directory that contains the dogecoin stuff: right-click -> open terminal here17:39
xubuntu874chmod +x dogecoin-qt?17:39
xubuntu874correct?17:39
stqnyes, then you type that.17:39
xubuntu874okk17:39
stqnif you are in the correct directory already17:39
xubuntu874let's try17:39
xubuntu874can't find the file17:40
xubuntu874ahhhh ok17:40
xubuntu874I get into the directory17:40
stqnyou can also use "cd" to change directory in the terminal17:40
xubuntu874ok17:41
xubuntu874cd home17:42
xubuntu874but nothing17:42
xubuntu874damn I'm a real noob17:42
xubuntu874lolololol17:42
xubuntu874ufff.....17:42
elfyxubuntu874: if you have the folder open with the dogecoin stuff in it - right click there - then you can open "terminal here"17:43
xubuntu874ok just done it lol17:43
xubuntu874ok I typed it17:44
xubuntu874but nothing17:44
xubuntu874what should happen?17:44
stqnnow you can launch it17:44
elfyxubuntu874: nothing will show in terminal  if you've done it right17:44
xubuntu874double clicking on dogecoin-qt?17:44
stqnyes, or typing: ./dogecoin-qt17:44
xubuntu874if I double click nothing, it doesn't work. But typing ./dogecoin-qt in terminal yes!!!! It works! Thank you very much!!!!17:47
xubuntu874but will I have to launch it from terminal each time?17:47
holsteinxubuntu874: if you set it as the executable that you can click on, it'll run when you click on it17:48
holsteinxubuntu874: you can create a shorcut, or add it to the menu.. there are many ways to make a clickable element that launches that item.. the creators of the item can always provide you with one17:49
xubuntu874the weird thing is that nothing changed. I can't open it clicking on it17:50
holsteinxubuntu874: think of it this way.. the creators provided an item that cannot be clicked on17:50
xubuntu874geniuses17:50
xubuntu874lol17:50
holsteinxubuntu874: if you want to click on it, you'll need to set it that way, or create an element you can click on17:50
xubuntu874wow and how?17:51
holsteinxubuntu874: many ways.. i would literally right click on it and look in the menu and "fiddle" with the options there to make it work. or, create a new element wherever i want that lanuched what i want17:51
holsteinxubuntu874: or, email the creators and ask them how i am inteneded to launch their product17:52
xubuntu874lol ok17:52
xubuntu874I'll email them, I guess17:52
xubuntu874because clicking on it there are not options17:53
xubuntu874in the permission tab I can only give read/write permissions17:53
xubuntu874anyway17:53
holsteinxubuntu874: sure.. you can stop doing that then, and implement a new element that launches the command.. or a script.. or a keyboard shortcut.. or a panel element..17:53
xubuntu874thank you very very much17:54
xubuntu874lol I really can't do that by now. I need to study a bit more linux!17:54
stqnit’s strange, double clicking on it should launch it17:55
stqnbut yeah, same problem here17:56
stqn(I’m not running xubuntu on this computer, but it’s Xfce.)17:56
xubuntu874thank you all by now!!!!!17:57
holsteinyeah.. they dont promise click and run support for it17:57
xubuntu874I'm going to "fight" with all this stuff17:58
LeMikehello. how do I prevent xubuntu from storing and restoring the session with every reboot or cold start? I unchecked several things but it still does start programs I don't want (and are not in autostart)19:06
ElderDryasdelete ~/.cache/sessions and logout/in.19:08
stqnyeah that thing being enabled by default is so annoying19:14
stqnbtw xfce still doesn’t close the programs properly at logout if it’s not enabled, right?19:15
stqn(ok, there are more annoying things :) )19:15
Cosmicx7I am new to xubuntu Looking for help Im a trying to add my mounted drive to my file system can somebody point me in the right direction19:26
HedgeworkCosmicx7: I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question.  Mounting a drive is the act of adding it to the file system...so you just did that ?19:28
Cosmicx7I am trying to setup plex I see my drive on my desktop but cannot see it when I add folder in plex19:29
Cosmicx7no I did not add it to the file system that is I belive what I am trying to figure out....19:30
HedgeworkWTF is plex?19:31
knomeHedgework, please watch the language19:31
Hedgeworkknome: yes, dear19:32
Cosmicx7plex for for streaming media19:32
Cosmicx7I need help adding drive to file system.19:32
HedgeworkPlease use complete sentences...it would (theoretically) make you easier to understand and help.19:33
Cosmicx7Yes... I have a fresh install of xubntu I have 2 drives my os drive and a storage drive I cannot add storage drive to file system19:34
HedgeworkCosmicx7: I still don't know what plex is.  You also just said that the drive was mounted...mounting is what makes it part of the filesystem...you can use 'cat /etc/mtab' (without the quotes) to see where it is mounted.19:34
Cosmicx7that did not help I can browse to the drive by going to /media/cosmic/19:37
HedgeworkThen it's part of the filesystem at /media/cosmic/ ...so your probablem isn't "adding it to the filesystem"...let's figure out what the real problem is.19:37
Cosmicx7Im new at this so Im still figuring quite a few things out I dont know what excatly to ask for19:38
HedgeworkNo problem. :)19:39
stqnyou might need to (double) click on the disk icon to mount it19:39
stqnalthough if you can already see the files in /media/… then it’s another problem19:39
Cosmicx7I can right click on it and mount it but when I try to browse to the drive from another appliaction it stops letting my browse at /media/cosmic19:40
stqncan you browse it with thunar (the file manager)?19:41
Cosmicx7yes19:43
Cosmicx7but the drive name is media/cosmic/c5cdbd1b-5134556345519:43
HedgeworkThen it's mounted, and your problem isn't the file system (barring anything insanely obscure and unlikely)19:47
HedgeworkWhat exactly were you unable to do, and in what application?19:47
Cosmicx7browse to the drive19:48
ElderDryasin what application?19:49
Cosmicx7plex19:49
Cosmicx7thanks anyway....19:50
