[11:23] <reggie-man> I'm trying to make a desktop entry for Minecraft. I put each size icon named mc.png into it's respective location (~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/16x16 etc) and then set the Icon key in the .desktop file to "mc", but the icon isn't displaying on the desktop entry.
[11:27] <deshipu> run gtk-update-icon-cache
[11:27] <deshipu> and then change your icon theme to something and back
[11:34] <reggie-man> Didn't work, deshipu.
[11:42] <deshipu> then I don't know :(
[11:52] <brainwash> reggie-man: you could pass the full path to the icon file
[11:52] <reggie-man> Yes, but I want the file to be portable.
[11:53] <reggie-man> brainwash: ^
[11:54] <brainwash> there is #gtk+ on irc.gnome.org
[11:55] <brainwash> in case no one here knows how to solve your problem
[12:05] <reggie-man> brainwash: Is it gtk's area?
[12:08] <Weimar1919> is there a way to backup the favorites tab in the app launcher menu? I'm using xubuntu 14.04 with xfce and the favorites menu randomly gets reset
[12:11] <deshipu> Weimar1919: it's ~/.gtk-bookmarks IIRC
[12:13] <knome> ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks
[12:14] <knome> hmm, not that for the applications menu
[12:14] <Weimar1919> knome, got the file but its empty
[12:16] <Weimar1919> could it be in ~/.config/xfce4?
[12:20] <Weimar1919> nevermind found it in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc
[12:20] <Weimar1919> thanks anyways!
[13:02] <wlxmhls> hello, what is the default app to edit 'ppt' files
[13:03] <knome> there is no default application, but you can install libreoffice impress to do that
[13:03] <wlxmhls> ok, thanks
[13:04] <irgendwer4711> hi, today my trayicon for Thunderbird disappeared. anyone else too?
[13:06] <reggie-man> I never had a tray icon for Thunderbird.
[13:07] <irgendwer4711> firetray
[13:07] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711: Right-click panel>Panel>Panel Preferences>Items>Add
[13:08] <reggie-man> Or maybe it's in the Thunderbird settings.
[13:08] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711: What is firetray?
[13:08] <irgendwer4711> a thunderbird plugin
[13:09] <reggie-man> Could be a bug in that.
[13:09] <reggie-man> Is it installed be default, irgendwer4711?
[13:09] <irgendwer4711> worked for months since now
[13:09] <irgendwer4711> until now
[13:11] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711: This one? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/firebird/
[13:11] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: no
[13:12] <AgAu> its just a default tray icon
[13:13] <AgAu> xfce4-indicator-plugin
[13:14] <AgAu> is that in your panel?
[13:14] <irgendwer4711> something about that
[13:14] <irgendwer4711> AgAu: is this a process?
[13:14] <AgAu> no
[13:14] <brainwash> did the sound icon/indicator disappear too?
[13:14] <irgendwer4711> brainwash: no sound and clock are there
[13:15] <AgAu> panel preferences > items
[13:15] <AgAu> the items must have been removed from the panel
[13:15] <brainwash> did you accidentally remove the "indicator-messages" package?
[13:15] <reggie-man> no wait
[13:15] <brainwash> which is responsible for the white envelope icon
[13:16] <irgendwer4711> AgAu: I think, its there.
[13:16] <irgendwer4711> I have a "notification area" (translated)
[13:16] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711: Right click sound icon>Properties>check/uncheck Messaging Menu
[13:17] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: I do not have "Messaging Menu" there
[13:18] <brainwash> irgendwer4711: did you accidentally remove the "indicator-messages" package?
[13:19] <irgendwer4711> I have a notification are, there is a icon for Gigolo and Pidgin.
[13:19] <irgendwer4711> *a
[13:20] <AgAu> that's a different
[13:20] <AgAu> the indicator plugin is separate from that
[13:20] <irgendwer4711> AgAu: sure?
[13:20] <reggie-man> The network, sound, and messaging buttons are all in one little applet.
[13:20] <reggie-man> They're all grouped together as an item on the panel.
[13:21] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: so now whats missing?
[13:21] <reggie-man> Messaging Meun
[13:21] <reggie-man> Menu
[13:21] <reggie-man> com.canonical.indicator.messages
[13:22] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: ahh, something happend
[13:22] <reggie-man> What?
[13:22] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711?
[13:22] <irgendwer4711> I got new icons
[13:22] <reggie-man> What new icons?
[13:23] <irgendwer4711> a thunderbird icon, a network icon and a mail icon
[13:23] <reggie-man> Isn't that normal?
[13:23] <reggie-man> The mail icon is the messaging menu.
[13:24] <reggie-man> Thunderbird, I don't know. I don't have Thunderbird.
[13:24] <irgendwer4711> the thunderbird icon is new to me, network icon was disabled by me
[13:24] <reggie-man> Is the icon that was missing before there now?
[13:24] <irgendwer4711> yes
[13:24] <irgendwer4711> the white mail icon
[13:24] <reggie-man> How did it come back?
[13:25] <reggie-man> You can probably remove the Thunderbird icon if you want. And you can remove the Network icon too.
[13:26] <irgendwer4711> the news area was gone. I was confused with the notifiaction area, which was there too
[13:26] <irgendwer4711> I have german localization
[13:26] <reggie-man> I don't know anything about a news area.
[13:26] <reggie-man> Is anything wrong still?
[13:26] <irgendwer4711> or messagea area
[13:27] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: looks better now
[13:27] <reggie-man> Good.
[13:27] <irgendwer4711> ah, the thunderbird is the firetray icon
[13:28] <reggie-man> The icons and the labels of the icons in my Panel preferences flicker and change when I move them around and click on them.
[13:29] <reggie-man> The labels/icons are incorrect.
[13:29] <irgendwer4711> maybe I had changed the firetray icon to the standard mail icon
[13:30] <reggie-man> http://i.imgur.com/m2BzL9X.png
[13:31] <irgendwer4711> reggie-man: whats with that?
[13:32] <AgAu> ah congrats
[13:32] <AgAu> same bug as me

[13:57] <reggie-man> irgendwer4711: Right-click>Properties>Clear known indicators
[13:58] <irgendwer4711> then the thunderbird icon is gone too

[15:29] <xubuntu58w> hey how can I create a launcher for mpv ?
[16:01] <Gwilherm> Hi everybody, I would appreciate some help because I have some troubles with pulseaudio/pavucontrol on a xubuntu 14.04 fresh install. Thanks in advance :)
[16:01] <Gwilherm> Actually, when I start the system and log in, all work fine. But when I run pavucontrol, it seems that pulseaudio crashes and pavucontrol says "Establishing connection to PulseAudio, please wait..." And no sound anymore
[16:21] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> Hello, i'm a new user of xubuntu
[16:22] <AgAu> welcome. how can we help?
[16:23] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> Today some upgrades were installed, and after that I've been having some serious problems. A sign of blocked user appeared on the screen, saying that it would unblock in a few seconds but it got locked in that state. So I turned off the computer and rebooted it. Afterwards, the screen looks like it would be working under safe mode, and I cannot connect to the internet
[16:24] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> the screen looks pretty pixeled, low-quality image, the USB mouse doesn't work immediately, I have to reconnect it every time, and  there is an error message
[16:25] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid:The premission of the setuid helper is not correct"
[17:23] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> hello, i'm new to xubuntu
[17:24] <xubuntu-sol-bsas>  Today some upgrades were installed, and after that I've been having some serious problems. A sign of blocked user appeared on the screen, saying that it would unblock in a few seconds but it got locked in that state.
[17:31] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> I believe that the problem is that upgrades were not completely installed, and so now the computer is in a kind of "safe mode" which I cannot get out. How can I remove the installed upgrades, or restore the system to the previous state? I cannot connect to Internet since this problem
[17:34] <cfhowlett> xubuntu-sol-bsas, reinstall = there is no rollback in ubunt
[17:35] <AgAu> unless you use lvm
[17:35] <AgAu> and snapshots :P
[18:19] <xubuntu-sol-bsas> cfhowlett, should I reinstall the ubuntu?
[18:20] <cfhowlett> xubuntu-sol-bsas, ask in the main #ubuntu channel.  I didn't see your original question.
[18:23] <internetman> why arent passwords for previous connected wireless networks remembered?
[18:27] <pleia2> internetman: they are for me and I've never had trouble with that, what version of Xubuntu are you using?
[18:27] <internetman> pleia2: strange. im not 100% but I think this has been the case on differnet installs
[18:27] <internetman> pleia2: 14.10
[18:28] <internetman> if its just me i dont really care
[18:28] <internetman> i guess
[18:29] <pleia2> hm, strange
[18:30] <pleia2> I believe gnome-keyring is what remembers them, so if something is wrong with that or it's been removed that would cause problems
[18:46] <Joe_knock> Hi there
[18:50] <slickymaster> !hi | Joe_knock
[18:51] <Joe_knock> I'd like to know how to get Session Menu in 14.04. It was there in 12.04 but has now disappeared in 14.04
[18:57] <pleia2> Joe_knock: I think what you want is to add the "Action Buttons" to your panel
[18:59] <Joe_knock> pleia2: Does the "Action Buttons" contain a session manager where I can lock the screen, etc. ?
[18:59] <pleia2> Joe_knock: yep
[19:03] <Joe_knock> last question: How do I decrease the "application menu" to not show the words "application menu" and have the icon only?
[19:05] <cfhowlett> Joe_knock, settings > appearance > settings > Toolbar style > icons
[19:06] <Joe_knock> cfhowlett: I am talking specifically about the "Application Menu". It has the Xubuntu icon and the words "Application Menu" next to each other on the left side.
[19:06] <Joe_knock> okay figured it out
[19:06] <Joe_knock> I had to edit it in the panel
[23:28] <ghostx562> hello
[23:28] <ghostx562> i was wondering how i can get my second hard drive to auto mount on xubuntu 14.04?
