[01:08] <reggie-man> The indicators icon on my panel has no indicators. The item is literally just the text "No Indicators". If I go into properties there are no indicators to check/uncheck.
[01:13] <brainwash> reggie-man: what did you do to trigger this?
[01:17] <reggie-man> brainwash: Clicked "Clear known indicators" in the properties, then turned off then on again.
[01:19] <brainwash> re-add the indicator plugin to the panel
[01:19] <brainwash> after removing it first of course
[01:29] <reggie-man> brainwash: Thank you, that worked.
[11:33] <mali1> hello, I'm new with [x]ubuntu, so I installed it yesterday and configured keyboard shortcuts in settings=>window-manager=>shortcuts, like "browse to left screen", it worked great. Now I rebooted the system and realized, that the shortcuts doesn't wok anymore, the default shortcuts are woking, but the entries in the settings are the same as i wanted. can anybody help me, please?
[12:28] <donc3> Hi! I have just installed xubuntu 14.10 and I have seen 2 problems
[12:28] <donc3> the first one is with VLC it is shown like this, and I don't know why
[12:29] <donc3> http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/capturadepantalla-030115-132851.php
[12:30] <donc3> and the second one is with indicator-cpufreq, I think it is not working
[12:31] <ObrienDave> ok, that means VLC has no file in queue to play
[12:31] <donc3> it only shows two governors and choose the one you choose it doesn't do anything
[12:31] <donc3> 0brienDave I mean the shape of the buttons and the menus
[12:31] <donc3> ObrienDave
[12:33] <deshipu> donc3: well, vlc is not a gtk application, so it won't use gtk theming
[12:33] <deshipu> donc3: I think it's QT
[12:33] <ObrienDave> i guess i'm not following what is wrong. it looks ok to me
[12:34] <donc3> deshipu  but it should be  shown like this http://www.fosforito.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Vls-view.png
[12:34] <deshipu> donc3: they just use a different theme
[12:34] <donc3> after upgrading to 14.10, in 14.04 it was like the second one
[12:35] <donc3> I don't know why
[12:35] <ObrienDave> AH HA! view, uncheck, advanced controls
[12:36] <ObrienDave> AH HA! view, advanced controls, uncheck
[12:36] <ObrienDave> tired ;p
[12:37] <donc3> ok,  but the thing with vlc doesn't matter it's only the view
[12:37] <donc3> and the problem with the indicator-cpufreq?
[12:38] <ObrienDave> dunno, don't use it
[12:39] <donc3> ¬¬
[12:39] <donc3> this is not a solution, but thanks
[12:52] <mali1> hey, can anybody tell me, why keyboard-shortcuts of window-manager doesn't work?
[16:58] <xubuntu21w> Hi there, do you guys have a minute regarding a issue with Xubuntu 14.04 on an Asus EeePC 1001PXD?
[17:04] <baizon> !ask | xubuntu21w
[17:08] <xubuntu21w> Thanks. My '5' key is not working after Xubuntu has booted, but it does work at the login screen. I've used sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, checked /etc/default/keyboard and the Xfce settings. No results yet.
[17:10] <irth> hewwo!
[17:11] <irth> how big does xubuntu root partition need to be? (i am planning on using separate /home partition)
[17:11] <irth> i suppose it won't fit in 5GB with all needed apps like arch linux, so i am asking :P
[17:13] <drc> irth: Depends on what you want to do...if you use apps that use /tmp or /var a lot or want to install a lot of after-install apps, then a larger root partition would be good/
[17:14] <drc> I have a 500 gb hdd, / is 10gb, swap is 2gb with the rest as /home
[17:15] <irth> how much does xubuntu 14 takes after clean install?
[17:15] <drc> currently I use about 6gb of that root partition.
[17:16] <irth> oh
[17:16] <irth> okay
[17:22] <xubuntu20w> is it normal operability to not be able to drag an open window bar from the panel of a website onto the desktop to make it create a shortcut onto the desktop?
[17:22] <xubuntu20w> functionality
[17:23] <xubuntu20w> using 14.10
[17:23] <xangua> if I drag the url icon from firefox it download the pages, if i drag the url directly it creates a shorcut
[17:24] <xubuntu20w> drag the url?
[17:24] <xangua> www.site.com
[17:24] <xubuntu20w> like, as in having the browser window on the desktop panel
[17:24] <xubuntu20w> and taking that tab on the panel and dragging it on the desktop
[17:24] <xubuntu20w> you can do that?
[17:25] <xubuntu20w> what you mean drag the url?
[17:25] <HassanCehef> bookmarks were made for that purpose.
[17:25] <xangua> in firefox draging the tab out of the window will create a new window with the tab
[18:39] <irth> what does xubuntu use to encrypt /home directory (in installer)
[18:39] <irth> ?
[18:47] <baizon> irth: LUKS, source: http://thesimplecomputer.info/full-disk-encryption-with-ubuntu
[18:49] <irth> baizon: but that's for FDE
[18:49] <irth> baizon: i am not using FDE
[18:49] <baizon> so what are you using?
[18:50] <baizon> ... well then im pretty sure its ecryptfs
[18:51] <irth> i am using /home encryption, from "Who Are You?" part of installer :P
[18:57] <squeegily> I have an album with multiple combinations of artists (whose names are separated by ' & '). It seems to recognize the multiple artists properly, but it's displaying the album as if it were many albums
[18:57] <squeegily> Mesage got messed up for some reason
[18:57] <Joe_knock> Parole? squeegily
[18:57] <squeegily> Wait nevermind
[18:58] <squeegily> No this is gmusicbrowser
[18:58] <squeegily> It's splitting the album up into several albums
[18:59] <squeegily> It's got "The Album" << 2012 << 2 artists, "The Album" << 2012 << 3 artists, "The Album" << 2012 << NicolArmarfi, etc
[18:59] <squeegily> It's recognizing the artists properly, but the album's fragmented
[19:03] <Joe_knock> Does it really matter? squeegily
[19:03] <squeegily> Whee it looks like this bug is documented but not fixed http://gmusicbrowser.org/faq.html
[19:03] <squeegily> It is irritating me
[19:03] <Joe_knock> okay so it does matter. Are you keen to try fixing the bug yourself?
[19:04] <squeegily> Sadly, I do not know C code
[19:04] <squeegily> I only know Python and I have a project deadline coming up soon
[19:05] <squeegily> I wanted my music to be organized while I work on my project
[19:06] <Joe_knock> you're yack shaving :P
[19:07] <squeegily> yack shaving?
[19:11] <Joe_knock> http://www.hanselman.com/blog/YakShavingDefinedIllGetThatDoneAsSoonAsIShaveThisYak.aspx
[19:24]  * drc wonders if one could shave a yak in a bike shed?
[19:31] <squeegily> Hehe I suppose so
[19:41] <xubuntu84w> I have just installed xubuntu, my bluetooth is faulty and does not seem to work whats the best way to get support for this, many thanks
[19:47] <drc> Well, you could start by telling us exactly what you have and what's not working.
[19:48] <drc> googling "ubuntu+bluetooth" gives over 8 million hits, so it's kinda hard to guess what's wrong in your particular situation with more data.
[19:48] <drc> s/with/without/
[19:48] <Alexfrench> is there the small bluetooth indicator on the taskbar ??
[19:49] <drc> and now we'll never know...s/he's gone.
[19:49] <Alexfrench> ahhh shit
[19:50]  * drc looks for his bar of soap....
[19:55] <Joe_knock> she on IRC? what tomfoolery do you speak of
[19:58] <sim642> I've made myself a ~/.XCompose file but that doesn't seem to work, what can I do to make it work?
[19:59] <drc> sim642: did you logout/reboot?
[19:59] <sim642> I have since I added it, which was a while ago, I just forgot about it
[20:01] <Alexfrench> what is it for this file ??
[20:01] <Alexfrench> to configure a keyboard ??
[20:02] <sim642> custom compose key combinations
[20:02] <Alexfrench> making personnal shortcuts ??
[20:03] <sim642> for example I can type € by pressing my compose key, then C and =
[20:03] <sim642> there's a huge default table of such possible compositions but I want to add my own
[20:03] <Alexfrench> ok i see and your problem is ???
[20:04] <sim642> that the file doesn't get loaded
[20:04] <Alexfrench> where it is located ??
[20:04] <Alexfrench> is it sorry
[20:05] <sim642> As I said, in ~ is where the custom one goes
[20:05] <Alexfrench> in home
[20:06] <irth> ugh...
[20:06] <irth> i installed xubuntu i686 instead of amd64 by mistake
[20:17] <Alexfrench> sim642:  you could type maybe touch .XCompose
[20:18] <sim642> it already exists with my own combinations in it...
[20:20] <Alexfrench> so it is loaded ?
[20:20] <sim642> none of the combinations specificed work though
[20:20] <sim642> so I assume not
[20:21] <Alexfrench> wrong path somewhere ?
[20:22] <drc> sim642: "However, GTK does not use XIM by default and therefore does not follow ~/.XCompose keys. This can be fixed by forcing GTK to use XIM by adding export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim and/or export XMODIFIERS="@im=none" to ~/.xprofile. "  from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg
[20:22] <drc> Not sure this is the problem, but it's a place to start.
[20:23] <sim642> but that's just GTK
[20:23] <Alexfrench> and it is so annoying ???
[20:23] <drc> and what do you think xfce is based on?
[20:25] <sim642> there's plenty of software which runs on Qt
[20:32] <irth> how can i troubleshoot problems with screen locking?
[20:33] <irth> locking from "start" menu
[20:33] <irth> doesn't work, locking by typing xflock4 too
[20:33] <sim642> irth, go to screensaver settings
[20:33] <sim642> it sometimes happens to me too randomly, apparently xscreensaver stops working
[20:34] <sim642> it provides the locking
[20:35] <irth> xscreensaver?
[20:35] <irth> not light-locker
[20:35] <irth> ?
[20:35] <sim642> idk, I still have xscreensaver for it
[20:36] <irth> i have an (almost) clean install of xubuntu 14.04, installed today :P
[20:36] <sim642> but this might be the side effect of having upgraded my install maybe, not sure
[20:39] <sim642> irth, what problems though?
[20:40] <irth> sim642: it just does nothing
[20:44] <irth> i try also light-locker-command --lock
[20:44] <irth> no reaction
[20:52] <sim642> you could check lightdm logs, maybe there's something
[20:55] <irth> damn. i installed ubuntu and forgot all my linux skills xD
[20:55] <irth> i guess that's because i used win8.1 for a while after arch linux :P
[20:56] <irth> nah, nothing in lightdm logs
[20:56] <irth> i'll just use i3lock :P
[20:57] <sleezio> hello, i was wondering if anyone knows of  a program for managing folders of images, like show you duplicate images and delete the dupes, etc
[20:59] <deshipu> sleezio: gtk-thumbnail
[20:59] <deshipu> sleezio: sorry, gthumb
[20:59] <sleezio> thanks
[20:59] <deshipu> !info gthumb
[21:00] <deshipu> there were more, i don't remember which one had the option for finding duplicates
[21:00] <sleezio> i'm still googling, thanks
[23:23] <bennypr0fane> Hi, I keep getting a problem alert from the OS when starting my server, but it won't tell me what the problem is - just "do you wanna report it?" or "cancel". How can I find out what's wrong?
[23:28] <brainwash> bennypr0fane: you could look at the files in /var/crash
[23:30] <bennypr0fane> brainwash: thanks, now I know where the problem is (but I have yet to find out *what* it is)
[23:30] <brainwash> bennypr0fane: also, you will get some details one you've clicked on the button to report it
[23:30] <brainwash> *once
[23:31] <brainwash> maybe you should actually report this bug to launchpad then
[23:31] <bennypr0fane> brainwash, I accidentally agreed to including a file with the report that contains credentials to my server
[23:31] <bennypr0fane> so I didn't send it
[23:32] <bennypr0fane> davfs is crashing at startup
[23:33] <brainwash> I'm not sure if anyone here can help you with debugging this crash
[23:33] <bennypr0fane> brainwash, any idea where?
[23:33] <brainwash> !debug
[23:34] <brainwash> well, you can try #ubuntu-bugs
[23:41] <bennypr0fane> brainwash, thank you!
