[01:38] <carlosqueso> hey, hoping someone can help.  When I try to log in, lightdm goes away for about a second, then comes right back.  I can't get in to the GUI.  Any ideas?

[09:10] <nigatiff> thx
[09:22] <xubuntu585> Hello
[09:22] <xubuntu585> I have just installed Xubuntu, but the Grub does not work
[09:23] <xubuntu585> is there anything I can do to solve it?
[10:52] <tobika> Hi there, just upgraded to 14.10, the whiskers icon in the upper bar is a grey block and i can not click on it, but no problem to add a new one to the panel tha functions well, i changed the amd fglrx driver ones and it worked afterwards, not sure if there is a connection, but now it's grey again, anybody knows this one? didn't find anything via google
[11:40] <user2user> hello. i have an extended partition without diskspace on my laptop which shows up as mountable a mountable device. does anyone know how to remove this? it is not listed in fstab or anywhere i can find
[13:37] <gebruiker> guys
[13:37] <gebruiker> are the fonts working nicely like in the default ubuntu with xubuntu?
[13:38] <ObrienDave> no issues here
[13:39] <ObrienDave> main difference from Ubuntu to Xubuntu is the DE (desktop environment)
[13:39] <gebruiker> alright
[13:41] <gebruiker> with the xubuntu install can I remove all the partitions and automatically let ubuntu set it up '?
[14:43] <xubuntu91w> Hi, recently had my os switched to Xubuntu...but don't know much about it. How do I get games previously used on windows xp to install and play on this system?
[14:45] <ObrienDave> they won't run natively. you have to use wine (25-95% sucsess) or install XP in a VM (a bit slower)
[14:45] <Hedgework> xubuntu91w: Running programs from one OS on a very different one can be tricky.  Some work well, some don't.  There are a few different approaches you can take...
[14:45] <ObrienDave> *success
[14:46] <Hedgework> xubuntu91w: You can run Windows in a virtual machine (VM) on your xubuntu system and use Windows programs that way, but with games it sometimes runs into problems with rendering depending on what engine was used, what hardware access it expects, etc...
[14:46] <ObrienDave> !wine
[14:46] <Hedgework> xubuntu91w: There are emulators like Wine and Crossover Linux that act like a compatibility layer and can get some things running.
[14:47] <Hedgework> xubuntu91w: Finally, if any of them are Steam games, they do a lot of the portability work for you, and you may be able to get them working by setting up Steam's Linux client.
[14:49] <xubuntu91w> Okay I have no idea what I'm doing. Is there anyway to get support by phone?
[14:50] <Hedgework> xubuntu91w: You might just go to your local Linux User Group and ask for help.  Most are listed on linux.org or meetup.com or similar.
[14:50] <Hedgework> anyway, work wants my attention back...I wish you best of luck!
[14:50] <james0r> just upgraded to xubuntu 14.10 from 14.04 and now i'm getting this old theme coloring showing up, just certain on certain features. pretty strange.
[14:51] <james0r> like mouseover highlighting and text field borders. thought it might have something to do with using kwin over xubuntu, but when i go back to xfwm i still have it
[14:52] <xubuntu91w> If I try any of what you suggest I'm sure I'll screw it up.
[14:53] <ObrienDave> rtfm ;p
[14:54] <elfy> not even funny
[14:56] <james0r> ahh if i go into the 'theme configuration' modules in settings and force highlight colors it overrides the random purple colors i'm getting from i don't even frickin no where.
[14:56] <james0r> i'm lost but, but glad they're not purple anymore
[14:58] <knome> james0r, yes, it was mentioned in the release announcement... did you by any chance read it?
[14:58] <james0r> what is the deal with this theme configuration module anyway? just seems a little arbitrary that there is a module to change these specific attributes.
[14:58] <knome> some people happen to prefer some other color than the default. if you don't, then don't use the software, it's that easy
[15:00] <james0r> i did read the announcement but must have missed it. yeah no disrespect, just a offering some feedback into the irc void
[15:02] <james0r> oh wow, that's too funny. see my whole theme is based around purple so i just assumed it was lingering from an old theme i used.
[15:03] <james0r> it isn't what you don't know that gets you, it's what you know for damn sure that just ain't so....or something like that. mark twain. smart guy
[15:04] <knome> james0r, please watch the language, since this is a family-friendly channel; furthermore, if you don't have any more support questions, you can take the general chatter to #xubuntu-offtopic. thanks.
[15:05] <james0r> yeah i have another question actually, so without the custom highlight colors on you get pink, but with them on you get something other than your gtk theme, so how do you just get what your gtk theme specifies?
[15:05] <knome> james0r, turn the highlights off as the release announcement says.
[15:05] <ObrienDave> select a different theme
[15:06] <knome> ObrienDave, did you even read the question?
[15:06] <ObrienDave> oh geez
[15:06] <james0r> they were already off
[15:06] <knome> james0r, if the change isn't applied when you turn it off, you might need to log out and it for the changes to take effect.
[15:07] <james0r> i see that when you turn them back off you get your gtk themes colors
[15:07] <knome> james0r, ^ the theme config application tells you that as well.
[15:07] <james0r> knome, i don't see that anywhere on the theme config
[15:07] <knome> james0r, with all respect, please read what you are reading...
[15:08] <knome> james0r, it says that when you change the highlight colors.
[15:08] <knome> (and click apply)
[15:08] <james0r> are you talking about the release announcement?
[15:08] <knome> james0r, that included.
[15:08] <james0r> it doesn't say what i have just done to correct it
[15:09] <james0r> it says "simply turn the custom highlight colors 'off' and click "apply"
[15:09] <knome> james0r, is your problem solved now?
[15:09] <james0r> knome, whatever
[15:10] <knome> james0r, yes, then the application tells you you might need to restart running applications.
[15:10] <james0r> read the release announcement to find out if my problem is solved.
[15:10] <james0r> it will give you a half complete answer
[15:10] <knome> no it doesn't, it's the full answer
[15:10] <knome> do you have another support question?
[15:10] <james0r> i have solved my issue.
[15:14] <tobika> seeing that there are some people i will just repost my question from this morning :) (night, depending on timezone)
[15:14] <tobika> Hi there, just upgraded to 14.10, the whiskers icon in the upper bar is a grey block and i can not click on it, but no problem to add a new one to the panel tha functions well, i changed the amd fglrx driver ones and it worked afterwards, not sure if there is a connection, but now it's grey again, anybody knows this one? didn't find anything via google
[15:14] <xubuntu55w> Hi, is there anyone here who can help me with an issue i'm having
[15:15] <knome> xubuntu55w, just ask the question, and if somebody knows the answer, they'll most likely reply
[15:15] <james0r> knome, as i said above i upgraded. so my custom highlight colors were not set to 'On', nor were they (or are they) displaying pink.
[15:15] <xubuntu55w> Xubuntu freezes at certain times and the screen goes off. I can't do anything after that. Only option is to power down using the button and boot up again
[15:16] <james0r> knome, might be instructive for you to know this if someone else comes in with a similar upgrade question. the announcement seems to be directted at those on fresh installs
[15:16] <xubuntu55w> If i'm playing music in the background, i can still hear it. can't do anything though
[15:16] <knome> james0r, no, it's just as much for upgraders, and the information is as complete and accureate it can be
[15:16] <xubuntu55w> funnily enough it happens when i go to google.com/chrome
[15:17] <xubuntu55w> to d/l it
[15:17] <james0r> knome, i'm telling you it was inaccurate for me.
[15:17] <xubuntu55w> sometimes happens on youtube also
[15:17] <james0r> knome, if you don't believe me for whatever weird reason go ahead
[15:17] <knome> james0r, the upgrade specifically turns the highlight colors on.
[15:18] <knome> james0r, you haven't demonstrated me any reason why it wouldn't have been accurate yet
[15:18] <james0r> knome, it didn't for me i can assure you. i just opened it for the first time ever and turned it on
[15:19] <knome> james0r, file a bug.
[15:19] <james0r> knome, that i can do. thanks.
[15:20] <knome> you're welcome
[15:20] <knome> be back later ->
[15:21] <xubuntu55w> anyone?
[15:22] <xubuntu55w> i'm using an acer 5920
[15:25] <brainwash> tobika: does this problem affect all user accounts (including the guest session)?
[15:28] <dkessel> xubuntu55w: what graphics card do you have?
[15:29] <xubuntu55w> checking...
[15:33] <xubuntu42w> sorry got dc'ed
[15:33] <xubuntu42w> same guy with the screen goig off issue
[15:33] <xubuntu42w> going*
[15:34] <xubuntu42w> i have an intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics controller
[15:36] <xubuntu42w> ,.....
[15:37] <tobika> brainwash: good question, will check
[15:38] <bipolar> I have a new System76 laptop with an internal SD card reader. SD cards show up as mmcblk devices. It works as I expect, unless the SD card is formatted with exfat. I've installed the exfat packages, and I can mount the card manually. However it doesn't show up in the file manager when I plug it in. Has anyone solved this issue for themselves?
[15:39] <bipolar> I'm running 14.10 btw
[15:40] <tobika_> brainwash: thanks, it works and now when i logged back into my user it also works, seems that there is something strange in my user config probably
[15:40] <bipolar> Strangely it does show up on my 12.04 system. Weird.
[15:41] <bipolar> Although that's a USB SD card reader and the partitions are sd* device files.
[15:42] <dkessel> xubuntu42w: i'm sorry i cannot help you with that issue. maybe you will have success in the #ubuntu channel. there are more people there, and this sounds like it is not xubuntu specific.
[15:42] <bipolar> dkessel, I suppose so. thanks :)
[16:23] <xubuntu08w> Hi, I have a problem with extremely long boot time on my Xubuntu 14.10 (10 minute boot - started after upgrade from 14.04). Yesterday, some of you advised me to check on plymouth (disabled it, but no change), to reinstall upstart (did, no change) or to try systemd instead of upstart. Here comes the change and systemd revealed more - it spent 10 minutes on running fsck on my main hdd partition with Xubuntu (I am on dual boot with
[16:24] <xubuntu08w> Fsck revealed no problems, the same for badblocks - no problems here. I even disabled time-dependent checking via tune2fs (-i and -c option). No change - fsck runs on every boot...
[16:26] <ObrienDave> possible drive issue. any problems with other OSes?
[16:27] <Ponury> hiho hello, does anybody know a good and easy to deal with program to diagnose wifi problems?
[16:27] <xubuntu08w> ObrienDave: No - Win7 works fine. My HDD is few years old, but I thought, that fsck or badblocks would reveal that kind of problem
[16:28] <GridCube> xubuntu08w: what if you change the phisicall port for you sata drives? like instead of having it using port 1 place it in port 2
[16:29] <elfy> xubuntu08w: did you run fsck yourself from a livesession? afaik - if there's an issue that doesn't get fixed - fsck will keep running each boot
[16:31] <xubuntu08w> elfy: yes, I ran fsck while logged in, and few times from xubuntu "recovery mode", when the problem appeared for the first time. But fsck didn't reported any problems on any of these runs
[16:33] <dkessel> xubuntu08w: you may be experiencing bug 1169614 . please try disabling networking using the network manager before shutting down. this may fix your problem.
[19:38] <gebruiker> how can set xfce default video player to vlc?
[19:41] <brainwash> gebruiker: settings manager > mime type editor
[19:42] <gebruiker> i have to select each individually?
[19:43] <brainwash> I guess so
[19:43] <brainwash> or remove all the other media player, so vlc will be the only one installed on your system
[19:43] <brainwash> media players
[19:44] <gebruiker> damnit
[19:46] <ali1234> yeah, annoying right?
[19:46] <ali1234> i had to change them all
[19:47] <gebruiker> yeah bro it is, but I did it
[19:47] <gebruiker> also mplayer-gui any problems at your end?
[19:47] <brainwash> well, you do it only once
[19:49] <gebruiker> man that is one positive house wife motivational argument
[19:50] <brainwash> if no one provides some patch for this, nothing will change :)
[19:51] <brainwash> did you experience any problems with mplayer-gui before?
[19:52] <brainwash> it's one of many apps, so it's not easy to tell if it works fine
[19:53] <brainwash> the xubuntu team recommends parole
[21:40] <dbuq> hey folks, sorry to bother you. i've got some kind of a strange problem
[21:41] <dbuq> i have a relatively fresh xubuntu installation on my laptop. i'm happy how most stuff really works out of the box
[21:42] <dbuq> what bothers me is: when waking up from hibernate, the energy governors seem to be set to powersave
[21:42] <dbuq> and i just don't manage to change it to say ondemand
[21:44] <dbuq> the commands i'm finding in all the wikis are not working
[21:45] <Alexfrench> on 14.10 ?
[21:45] <dbuq> dbuq@absynthe:~$ sudo echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
[21:45] <dbuq> bash: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor: Permission denied
[21:45] <dbuq> yes
[21:46] <Alexfrench> you are not he one to get this problem
[21:47] <Alexfrench> here or on the forums
[21:47] <Alexfrench> but sorry i don't know if there is a solution
[21:47] <dbuq> strange thing
[21:48] <Alexfrench> someone talks about acpi problem maybe
[22:11] <dbuq> okay seems like i fixed it by installing cpufrequtils
[22:11] <dbuq> thought i would get it to work without installing anything. it's already too much magic happening now :/
[22:12] <Alexfrench> you succeed ?
[22:17] <dbuq> yes, i can now set it with sudo cpufreq-set -g performance
[22:20] <Alexfrench> cool
[22:21] <dbuq> well i'm still not entirely happy. now it doesn't clock down when idling...
[23:01] <xyzone> how can I reset the dual screen settings without X?
[23:39] <uflaig> help I cant press anything with my mouse
[23:39] <uflaig> wth is going on with the latest xubuntu update
[23:39] <uflaig> the os got literally not useable
[23:41] <knome> uflaig, please watch your language as this is a family-friendly channel
[23:44] <Quixx> I've got two windows that I'm trying to rotate two different sets of wallpaper for
[23:44] <Quixx> For whatever reason I keep getting wallpapers from monitor 2 on monitor 2
[23:45] <Quixx> monitor 1*
[23:45] <Quixx> also it seems to be switching wallpapers on 1 when 1 is supposed to be rotated, as well as when 2 is supposed to be rotated.
