[00:04] <hoouse> Hello all. I have been trying to be able to change workspaces with the mouse. I used to be able to simply slide the mouse and when it hit the edge it went into the next workspace. No longer. I tried changing the setting in Settings - window manager - advanced - second setting. I'm using Xubuntu 14.04.
[00:05] <AgAu> do you have more than one workspace enabled?
[00:06] <hoouse> AgAu: I do have two enabled.
[00:06] <hoouse> AgAu: I can change by clicking the taskbar workspace icon.
[00:07] <hoouse> AgAu: ..and by using ctrl-alt arrow.
[00:12] <krytarik> hoouse: So enabled "With the mouse pointer", and tried adjusting the "Edge resistance" there, I take it?
[00:13] <hoouse> krytarik: Exactly.
[01:35] <chettikandathil> i am using xubuntu 14.10 in a laptop. and my touchpad is active when i type on the keyboard. is it possible to disable the touchpad when i am typing?
[01:37] <pleia2> chettikandathil: Settings > Mouse and Touchpad > switch device to your touchpad
[01:37] <pleia2> chettikandathil: that should give you a touchpad tab where you can select "Disable touchpad while typing"
[01:38] <chettikandathil> thanks a million. this feature should be turned on by default. i've been living with this for over a month.
[01:39] <pleia2> thanks for the feedback, I've never been a fan of it myself
[01:40] <pleia2> maybe my hands just stay far enough away frommy touchpad that it's not a problem :)
[01:41] <chettikandathil> yeah. depends on the size of the hand. and the touchpad placement on the laptop. also the way people types.
[03:12] <Guest48964> I let a clumsy user use the laptop for a few moments and they removed the Network panel right next to the clock, so I can't select a wifi network or log into my vpn. Can anyone help me restore it?
[03:13] <xangua> right click-add-indicators
[03:14] <Guest48964> thanks!!
[03:36] <Guest16600> Hi all.  Any luck in changing file browsers within xfce?
[04:54] <morpheus> hello
[04:55] <Guest70190> Anyone here who can help me with a few questions>
[04:55] <krytarik> Guest70190: Just ask them.
[04:56] <Guest70190> well i saw this tutorial on noobslab which showed how to change ubuntu to look like mac. would it work with xubuntu as well?
[04:57] <Guest70190> here's a link... http://www.noobslab.com/2014/04/macbuntu-1404-pack-is-released.html
[05:01] <Guest70190> anyone?
[05:02] <cfhowlett> Guest70190, don't be lazy.  download and test for yourself
[05:02] <Guest70190> i actually installed like 10 distros since yesterday
[05:02] <Guest70190> its pretty frustrating
[05:02] <Guest70190> thats why i asked
[05:02] <holstein> Guest70190: you can apply all kinds of themes.. what is the goal? you want it to look like a mac?
[05:02] <Guest70190> im sorry
[05:02] <holstein> Guest70190: whats frustrating?
[05:03] <Guest70190> @holstein yes i want it to look like a mac
[05:03] <Guest70190> @hostein installing 10 distros and testing them and seeing them not work correctly is frustrating
[05:03] <AgAu> im pretty sure there is a mac theme or two on xfce-look.org
[05:03] <Guest70190> alright i will check that out.
[05:04] <holstein> Guest70190: mac looks like mac.. why not just use a mac? we dont really have anything with xfce/xubuntu that is intended to emulate a mac..
[05:04] <Guest70190> i dont wanna emulate a mac or so. i love linux. just want it to look like a mac :)
[05:04] <holstein> http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/mintymac-osx-theme-complete?content=166789
[05:04] <Guest70190> i just got that on google. looking at it at the moment
[05:04] <Guest70190> thanks a lot everyone
[05:06] <Guest70190> yes. this works
[05:06] <Guest70190> thanks holstein and agau
[05:06] <AgAu> have fun
[06:01] <Ravi> hi
[06:01] <Ravi> I have installed xubuntu 14.04 LTS
[06:01] <Ravi> I have connected aduio cable using usb connector
[06:02] <Ravi> but there is no sound
[06:02] <AgAu> have you opened pulse audio control panel and made sure the correct source is selected?
[06:04] <AgAu> output device*
[06:54] <Ravi> hi AgAu, are you there?
[06:54] <AgAu> yeh?
[06:54] <Ravi> I have opened the pulse auido control
[06:55] <Ravi> in output devices
[06:55] <Ravi> it shows 2 devices
[06:55] <Ravi> Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
[06:56] <Ravi> and CM108 Audio Controller Analog Stereo
[06:56] <Ravi> what do i need to do?
[06:57] <Ravi> are you there?
[07:02] <Ravi> OK thank you
[07:02] <Ravi> I got it
[07:02] <Ravi> it works now
[07:03] <Ravi> I just switched off the built in audio in configuration tab
[07:03] <AgAu> great
[09:21] <akis> hi all. my laptop's battery stopped be charged under 14.04. Okey i know is almost dead but now is not being charging at all. here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9424513/. any idea to overcome this?
[09:26] <baizon> akis: battery dead?
[10:45] <akis> baizon: almost! any idea for my problem?
[10:45] <baizon> akis: battery dead
[10:45] <baizon> you need a new battery?
[10:46] <akis> baizon: no i dont need any. a month ago was working for a 1/2 hour and was pretty convenient in case of sudden power off.
[10:48] <akis> baizon: so you think that the indiacator stopped at 49% because it is absolutely dead and not for any other system malfunction?
[10:48] <baizon> akis: yes, thats what i think
[10:49] <baizon> akis: so the indicator is even giving false information, because your battery is dead dead
[10:51] <akis> baizon: ok. thank you for your opinion. do you think it is right to be the battery still connected on the board or should in disconnect it or it doesn't matter at all?
[13:58] <enerd> question about the mouse. im using a wireless optical mouse, and while it works fine, the cursor is jumpy. visually. any way to fix that?
[13:58] <cfhowlett> enerd, clean, plain surface?
[13:59] <enerd> yep
[13:59] <enerd> its kina.....blinky?
[13:59] <enerd> for lack of a better word. haha
[14:00] <cfhowlett> enerd, if it does the same on windows (assuming dual boot), it's a hardware issue ...
[14:00] <enerd> not a dual boot
[14:45] <dnmz> Hello, I've recently installed xubuntu 14.10. My computer is a dell latitude d630g, with a nvidia quadro nvs 135m gpu. When I connect my computer to a tv using a VGA cable, the only available resolutions are 640x480 and 320x240. I've tried using xrandr to add other modes, but with no success. I've also tried creating a monitor.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/, and changing the xorg.conf file all with no success.
[14:46] <dnmz> Any suggestions?
[14:51] <enerd> ok im back. the mouse problem only happens when i start a program
[14:53] <enerd> its fine when i have a terminal open but if its clementine or firefox or something its jumpy
[15:01] <enerd> weird i fixed it. i dont know how. hahah
[15:14] <johnx> but how enerd?
[15:42] <etwarrior> Hello everyone!
[15:43] <Luyin> hi
[16:22] <etwarrior> Is there a way to add another query in the sidebar menu of the file manager on xubuntu?
[16:23] <etwarrior> For example: I wanted to add my school folder in that bar for quick-access.
[16:23] <Luyin> etwarrior: just drag&drop the folder there
[16:23] <etwarrior> Luyin: The folder just goes back to where it came from.
[16:24] <etwarrior> I'd like to put it in the "Places" section of the file manager.
[16:24] <drc> 1) Click and hold on file/folder 2)Hold and drag to sidebar (dropping it in the <Places> section.
[16:24] <Luyin> etwarrior: are you sure the folder isn't there already?
[16:25] <etwarrior> Luyin: I don't see it...
[16:25] <drc> etwarrior: try moving it around in Places as you drag and drop.
[16:25] <etwarrior> Except in the area I stored it.
[16:26] <etwarrior> drc: Tried earlier... not seeming to work.
[16:26] <drc> Start by trying to drop it at the bottom of the places...it should change from a "square outline" to a "line"
[16:28] <etwarrior> Hm...
[16:28] <etwarrior> drc: It still doesn't seem to be working... Now, it lets me MOVE the file to another "place" from the sidebar.
[16:28] <drc> the icon should also change from just a "hand" to a hand with a red arrow
[16:28] <etwarrior> It changes from a hand to a hand with a whitish arrow
[16:29] <drc> ok, different icons
[16:31] <etwarrior> Drc, can I message you?
[16:31] <drc> no
[16:31] <etwarrior> Alright.
[16:31] <etwarrior> Luyin: How about you?
[16:31] <drc> It  belongs here in the channel so others can see and help/learn
[16:31] <knome> etwarrior, please keep the support questions on the channel.
[16:31] <etwarrior> Okay.
[16:32] <etwarrior> I was going to ask to go into teamviewer if you were willing.
[16:32] <etwarrior> I understand though.
[16:32] <etwarrior> "Making a Link" doesn't work either.
[16:32] <Luyin> etwarrior: how about a screenshot? I can't imagine this doesn't work.
[16:33] <drc> etwarrior: I'm confused, what did you mean by "move"?
[16:33] <etwarrior> Clicking the file, holding down the left click, and moving it with my mouse.
[16:34] <drc> oh...you are trying a FILE...I don't think you can, only a directory.
[16:34] <drc> IIRC
[16:34] <etwarrior> drc: It's a foler
[16:34] <etwarrior> Folder*
[16:35] <drc> No idea then...Works for me (tm) and Luyin (apparently).
[16:36] <drc> The only thing I can think of is the you are not dropping in the right place (it's picky)
[16:36] <etwarrior> Hm... weird... could it
[16:36] <Luyin> etwarrior: files can't be dropped into the sidepane of Thunar
[16:36] <etwarrior> could it be, because everytime I boot up the system I get all these pop up messages?
[16:36] <drc> Try moving it just under the trash can...the outling should change to a line.
[16:36] <etwarrior> And my screen is very shredded at first
[16:36] <etwarrior> saying to report a problem?
[16:36] <etwarrior> Let's see...
[16:37] <etwarrior> Luyin: But it's a folder.
[16:37] <drc> I doubt it (that's looks like a separate problem)...this is strictly a thunar/fiel manaher thing.
[16:37] <etwarrior> drc: The file animates back to it's original location
[16:37] <etwarrior> after dragging under the trash icon
[16:38] <drc> etwarrior: That only happens to me when I trying dropping somewhere it doesn't want to go.  Like I said, it's picky :)
[16:38] <Luyin> etwarrior: go to a terminal, enter "killall thunar", open thunar and try again
[16:38] <drc> Does the box outline change to a line?
[16:38] <etwarrior> Not at all.
[16:39] <drc> Do you have a NETWORK in the sidbar?
[16:39] <etwarrior> Yes.
[16:41] <Luyin> etwarrior: you might want to ask the question in #xfce too, there are more people in there. perhaps someone else has an idea. but try my terminal command first.
[16:41] <drc> Then the next thing I'd try is to zero out the thunar configs and try.  I'm not in Xubuntu at the moment, can someone direct him to the correct config folder in Xubuntu(to rename)?
[16:41] <etwarrior> Luyin: Oh, it said process not found...
[16:41] <etwarrior> I was using generic names though
[16:41] <etwarrior> now nothing popped up
[16:41] <Luyin> etwarrior: try again with capital "t" : Thunar
[16:42] <etwarrior> Yeah it worked
[16:42] <etwarrior> like I said
[16:42] <etwarrior> nothing popped up after unchecking generic application names
[16:43] <Luyin> so problem is solved, you can add your bookmark to the places-pane?
[16:44] <Luyin> drc: might be this one: ./.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml ?
[16:44] <Luyin> sorry, ./ is ~
[16:46] <drc> Luyin: Yeah, I <think> that's the one (like I said, no in Xubuntu atm).   Close thunar, open term and rename that file, start Thunar and test.
[16:46] <drc> Got to run (and no, it's not the dog :)
[16:47] <etwarrior> drc: Haha! Alright, thanks brother.
[16:48] <Luyin> etwarrior: you know how to do that last?
[16:48] <etwarrior> Last command?
[16:48] <etwarrior> Yeah just open the xfce term
[16:49] <etwarrior> Now it's telling me no process found again...
[16:49] <Luyin> I meant the last thing drc pointed you to, about renaming the file
[16:49] <etwarrior> Oh?
[16:49] <etwarrior> Yeah, just goto the folder and rename
[16:49] <etwarrior> right?
[16:49] <etwarrior> Thunar.xml?
[16:49] <Luyin> etwarrior: correct, although you might want to learn how to do this in a terminal ;) but your choice
[16:50] <etwarrior> Alright, thanks... I'm going to take this in xfce
[17:17] <Luyin> drc: question goes on in #xfce now, if you're still interested
[17:18] <drc> OK, thanks I saw the log.
[19:48] <Invictus> Hi, how can I get my laptop volume wheel to work? I am not able to change the volume by using it.
[19:48] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaptopSpecialKeys
[19:55] <drc> hmmm...doesn't mention "wheel" (that I can see), but google "ubuntu 14.04 volume mouse" gives lots of hits, choose the one you want for the version of *buntu you want.
[19:56] <holstein> i was thinking "wheel" was a volume control, and not the mouse wheel.. like, a physical volume control
[19:56] <drc> Well, one of use was probably correct :)
[19:56] <drc> s/use/us/
[19:56] <Invictus> yes, its a physical wheel that reduces volume in one direction and increases in the other
[19:57] <drc> holstein: FTW :)
[19:57] <holstein> Invictus: could also be, the wheel is broken. i had an old laptop with a wheel that was just an analog control, and it was broken
[19:58] <Invictus> it works in gnome shell :(
[19:59] <holstein> Invictus: cool.. i cant imagine what isnt loading in xfce that you need, but the special keys should help you locate what you need.
[19:59] <holstein> i would use a live CD with gnome shell running, and stat killing processes i dont see in xfce/xubuntu
[20:00] <Invictus> ahh I might have to try that
[20:04] <Invictus> holstein: oh I got it working using that article, just added it to keyboard shortcuts and the volume wheel works now. So thanks for that, but the notification doesn't come up, any idea how to get that?
[20:05] <holstein> Invictus: same processs, really.. just identify waht you want, and test that you have it installed and working correctly
[20:07] <Invictus> well, I read that it needs xfce4-volumed installed, which I have, but still no result, which is why I am confused
[20:07] <holstein> Invictus: i konw what i woudl do. but, i actually work to remove those pop-ups
[20:08] <Invictus> holstein: everyone has different needs :)
[20:08] <holstein> sure.. go for it!
[20:08] <holstein> you can add exactly what you like from gnome into xfce, if its supported
[21:57] <Bweeze086> hi guys, I'm trying to set up this network monitor stuff but have no idea what I'm doing http://a.pomf.se/wtrgvv.png
[21:57] <Bweeze086> what am I supposed to put into the "network device" part there?
[21:58] <genii> Something that shows up from ifconfig
[21:58] <holstein> Bweeze086: what is the goal?
[21:58] <Bweeze086> to monitor the network?
[21:58] <holstein> Bweeze086: for what?
[21:58] <holstein> Bweeze086: i mean, for it to be helpful on a security level, you really need to know what you are doing..
[21:59] <holstein> Bweeze086: are you trying to monitor for amount? of traffic?
[21:59] <Bweeze086> I think this little applet is supposed to monitor the in/out for my connection?
[21:59] <Bweeze086> ya
[21:59] <holstein> Bweeze086: sure.. for what purpose?
[21:59] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/257263/how-to-display-network-traffic-in-terminal
[22:00] <Bweeze086> just so that I know how much of my network I'm hogging
[22:00] <holstein> !info bmon
[22:00] <Bweeze086> I've seen all those, I dont want to use anything other than whats in the default tool box
[22:00] <holstein> Bweeze086: bmon is in teh default repos
[22:00] <Bweeze086> I just thought someone in here would know how to use this little applet
[22:01] <holstein> Bweeze086: desktop specific distros dont ship, typically, with tools to do that, be default.. so, you should be open to installing something
[22:01] <Bweeze086> never mind, I just figured it out
[22:01] <holstein> Bweeze086: i use the commandline tools.. never tried that applet
[22:01] <Bweeze086> you put the actual divice you want to monitor
[22:01] <Bweeze086> so in this case, wlan0
[22:01] <Bweeze086> thanks for the suggestions
