[01:04] <etwarrior> Why does my Firefox occasionally go opaque? Is there something I'm doing wrong? It seems to be when I scroll with my trackpad at times, I am using a White Macbook.
[01:04] <etwarrior> But I am on Xubuntu.
[01:11] <GridCube> etwarrior, opaque?
[01:11] <etwarrior> Yes.
[01:12] <etwarrior> GridCube, yes.
[01:12] <GridCube> etwarrior, are you sure you are not just moving the horizontal scroll over the title bar?
[01:13] <etwarrior> GridCube, that's it!
[01:13] <GridCube> :)
[01:13] <etwarrior> Why does Linux do that GridCube?
[01:13] <GridCube> that makes windows transparent
[01:13] <GridCube> its a feature of xfce
[01:13] <etwarrior> :D
[01:13] <GridCube> you can make any particular window transparent
[01:13] <etwarrior> I kind of like it now that I understand.
[01:14] <GridCube> you used to be able to do that pressing alt-scroll but that now zooms
[01:14] <GridCube> so only people with horizontal scrolls can do that now :(
[01:14] <GridCube> that makes me sad because i loved to be able to do that when watching movies
[01:15] <etwarrior> Well, you can always customize your own xfce, right?
[01:15] <etwarrior> or downgrade.
[01:16] <etwarrior> It's open-source, right GridCube?
[01:16] <GridCube> i can sure, both thing, downgrading is never a good idea
[01:16] <GridCube> P:
[01:17] <etwarrior> Not necessarily GridCube, sometimes updates break things.
[01:17] <GridCube> and configuring myself is not really an option because i just update and it get overwrited
[01:17] <etwarrior> You know?
[01:17] <GridCube> yep
[01:17] <etwarrior> I kind of like xfce, because it's like my Mac OS
[01:17] <etwarrior> But it can also be like Windows. D
[01:17] <etwarrior> :D
[01:17] <GridCube> i like xfce becuase its like xfce, and i like xfce P:
[01:18] <etwarrior> I like many DEs
[01:18] <etwarrior> Xfce is good
[01:18] <etwarrior> LXDE
[01:18] <etwarrior> uhh
[01:18] <etwarrior> I kind of liked GNOME 2
[01:18] <etwarrior> I don't like Gnome
[01:18] <etwarrior> GNOME 2 is now MATE
[01:18] <etwarrior> I guess?
[01:18] <etwarrior> I don't like the bottom bar though.
[01:18] <GridCube> mate is a fork of gnome2
[01:18] <GridCube> remove it
[01:18] <etwarrior> You can?
[01:18] <etwarrior> Hm..
[01:18] <GridCube> sure
[01:18] <GridCube> you can do whatever you want
[01:18] <etwarrior> I'm sticking with my Xubuntu. :D
[01:19] <etwarrior> There's a new project that's unofficial called Ubuntu-MATE, but I like my Xubuntu.
[01:19] <etwarrior> My little mouse with Whiskers. :)
[01:19] <etwarrior> Anybody know why Docky closes occasionally?
[01:20] <GridCube> nope
[01:20] <etwarrior> Is there a #docky channel?
[01:20] <etwarrior> Let's try...
[01:20] <GridCube> probably
[01:21] <etwarrior> GridCube,  looks like it
[01:21] <etwarrior> GridCube, care if I message you?
[01:21] <GridCube> sure
[01:21] <etwarrior> It didn't open a new window...
[01:22] <etwarrior> I guess I have to wait for you to reply.
[01:37] <krytarik> GridCube: For that matter: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2228495&p=13044180#post13044180
[01:38] <GridCube> krytarik, that makes sense
[01:38] <GridCube> :)
[01:38] <GridCube> thanks
[01:39] <krytarik> Welcome.
[01:40] <GridCube> :D
[01:40] <GridCube> it works!
[01:40] <AgAu> heh that transparency is pretty cool
[02:32] <Xypher> Hello
[02:32] <Xypher> I need help
[02:33] <Xypher> anyone?
[02:33] <AgAu> just ask your question
[02:34] <Xypher> I have a problem with Python, is this the right place to ask about this?
[02:35] <holstein> Xypher: just ask, friend.. and a volunteer may be a able to help
[02:37] <Xypher> I found that, most of my programs in Python 3 don't work...why this could happen...it run good on python2
[02:38] <holstein> Xypher: run them in python2..
[02:38] <holstein> Xypher: whoever creates the applications may not have made them for python3
[02:38] <Xypher> But, it lack of Unicodes
[02:38] <Xypher> and python 2 will discontinued support in 2020
[02:39] <holstein> Xypher: sure, and we are *not* talking about python2, but, some unmentioned python applications.. if *they* dont support python3, they dont
[02:39] <Xypher> or I just need to convert Python 2 program using 2to3 script?
[02:40] <holstein> Xypher: i have no idea, friend. ask the creators of the application it they intend you to run them in python3, and if so, how
[02:41] <Xypher> Thanks for the advice
[02:41] <Unit193> Xypher: That may work in a few cases, but really just wait for upstream to support it.  Do you have any good reason to try and get all python2 based programs you use to use python3 other than "it's newer"?  2020 is a long way away, and gives application devs plenty of time to do it right™
[02:42] <Xypher> I also don't know how to change higlighting text color from blue to color I want...I'm using 14.01
[02:42] <holstein> Xypher: in what?
[02:42] <holstein> Xypher: are you using 14.10? or 14.04?
[02:43] <Xypher> Xubuntu, 14.04.01 (sorry)
[02:43] <Unit193> Xypher: Open gtk-theme-config.
[02:44] <Xypher> Where I should I find that...
[02:45] <holstein> Xypher: open a terminal, and type "gtk-theme-config"
[02:45] <Xypher> ohh, thx (^^)
[02:46] <Unit193> It's also in the Settings Manager, Theme Config IIRC.
[02:46] <Xypher> ahh...I tried to change the highlight color..but nothing happened
[02:47] <Xypher> highlight text*
[02:47] <Xypher> it's still in same color
[02:48] <Unit193> Some applications will require you to restart as they don't read that on the fly.
[02:48] <holstein> logout and back in should do
[02:48] <Xypher> ah, ok
[02:48] <Xypher> thanks
[02:49] <Xypher> and this is last question from me...Does using Tor is safe?
[02:49] <holstein> Xypher: "safe" is always a matter of opinion
[02:50] <holstein> Xypher: depends on what you want to be safe from, and its more a matter of what you can trust.. which, ideally is realistically nothing
[02:50] <Xypher> Ahh, i heard Tor having some issue with NSA, I can be in NSA watchlist just from using Tor
[02:50] <holstein> i would try a security irc channel, and search around and form an opinion about it
[02:51] <holstein> Xypher: sure. *if* nsa related to safety in any way, that could be relevant
[02:51] <holstein> maybe it does for you, in some way.. you'll have to decide that for yourself through research of facts
[02:52] <Xypher> ahh....ok..then
[02:52] <Xypher> bye and thanks for help.
[03:08] <Tom84> if you type CTRL+L in a terminal it will clear it
[04:07] <_guest_> is there any reason parole media player can no longer play .acc files after updating to 14.04?
[04:08] <holstein> !restricted
[04:09] <holstein> _guest_: if you updated, from 13.10, then, you would need to codec support again
[04:09] <_guest_> ?
[04:09] <holstein> _guest_: you need to add codec support
[04:10] <_guest_> ah ok.  why though? that doesn't make sense
[04:10] <holstein> _guest_: in a terminal, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[04:11] <xangua> _guest_: you would maybe be better with VLC
[04:11] <_guest_> i aready started the install. my question was why would that get removed with the upgrade?
[04:11] <holstein> _guest_: there is a gstreamer plugin for acc... the restricteed extras pack installs more that just acc support
[04:12] <xangua> not that parole is not any good, but last time I tried it it couldn't even open some comercial DVD's, even when I had the gstreamer and libdvdcs installed and totem could
[04:12] <holstein> _guest_: you get stock 14.04.. in many ways
[04:13] <_guest_> holstein, i get that. but thats completely counter intuitive

[12:57] <littlebit> hi people, I have installed in the additional drivers section my nvidia driver, and now after rebooting I do not have that xubuntu logo with that animated circle anymore. Is there a way how to restore that?
[12:57] <cfhowlett> littlebit, that rather suggests the driver isn't doing its job ...
[12:58] <Pici> Do you still get to the desktop?
[12:58] <cfhowlett> littlebit, also: let's not cross-post.  choose ONE channel
[12:58] <littlebit> Pici: yes i still get the desktop and everything
[12:58] <littlebit> cfhowlett: ok
[12:58] <littlebit> cfhowlett: sry
[12:59] <Pici> I've heard other nvidia users say that they get a greenish screen at boot now, but I'm unsure of a fix or anything.
[12:59] <littlebit> the system is booting normally only that this splashscreen is missing
[13:05] <littlebit> my system has an ion vga from nvidia and I chose the version 331.38(proprietary), maybe that could help

[16:23] <GridCube> join #xubuntu-devel
[16:23] <GridCube> and just explain who you are and what you are able to do and what you can do to help
[16:24] <GridCube> again, testing is the thing we always need most and you dont need to be much of a tech expert to do it
[16:24] <etwarrior> Okay, thanks brother.
[16:25] <GridCube> it just needs commitment and time from your part

[22:19] <etwarrior> Hey, I made my Xubuntu look more like Windows 7, but how do I fix my notifications so that they fit the bar on the bottom, better?
[22:19] <etwarrior> For instance, Skype, if I click on the icon, it makes it so I have to "scroll" downward to see the rest of  my options.
[22:21] <brainwash> etwarrior: does this happen if you place the panel on the top?
[22:21] <holstein> etwarrior: "skype", basically comes "as-is".. not sure they will allow you to re-work any of the UI elements
[22:22] <brainwash> bug 965953
[22:23] <etwarrior> holstein, brainwash: It doesn't happen when the bar is on the top, only on the bottom.
[22:23] <etwarrior> brainwash,  thanks.
[22:24] <AgAu> having the bar on the top is superior anyway
[22:27] <etwarrior> AgAu, I guess it is with Docky.
[22:27] <AgAu> yeh i use docky
[22:27] <etwarrior> AgAu, still though, I kind of like the Windows 7 look, and fool.,

[22:29] <etwarrior> Where are the default wallpapers located? I changed it to a custom wallpaper, and now I've lost the file destination... Speaking of which, does anybody know where applications are located? For instance, Firefox browser itself, not the files included with it.
[22:30] <AgAu> /usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/
[22:31] <AgAu> .mozilla in your home directory is where your firefox user data is store
[22:32] <etwarrior> Thanks.
[22:33] <etwarrior> What about openvpn, does anyone know exactly the commands to connect, and disconnect from it?
[22:33] <etwarrior> Well
[22:33] <etwarrior> Maybe I should take this to #openvpn if that's a real station
[22:33] <AgAu> well
[22:34] <AgAu> you can just use openvpn through the nertwork manager
[22:34] <AgAu> that's what i do
[22:34] <etwarrior> How do you do that?
[22:34] <AgAu> openvpn network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome
[22:34] <AgAu> i tihnk you need those packages
[22:35] <AgAu> and you should be able to add open vpn connections through the nm applet
[22:37] <etwarrior> I think I found a way... thanks.
[22:38] <AgAu> k
[22:39] <etwarrior> pptp isn't as good, but I guess I'll just go that route.
[22:41] <etwarrior> brainwash, so in other words, there's not really a fix for the bottom UI bar, bug?
[22:41] <brainwash> etwarrior: I did no read any of the bug comments
[22:41] <etwarrior> Oh, okay.
[22:43] <brainwash> etwarrior: I suggest that you take a look at the linked upstream report
[22:46] <brainwash> it mainly affects the linux mint guys, but no proper fix is available yet
[22:55] <etwarrior> I see... brainwash.
