| holstein | nicholas: just start trying them, friend | 05:00 |
| holstein | nicholas: i say, try plank,and docky.. or an xfce panel setup like a dock, with the normal indicator | 05:00 |
| holstein | or, dont use an indicator in your dock.. | 05:00 |
| nicholas | docky crashes, and plank doesn't have the plugins I need | 05:02 |
| nicholas | I need the indicators | 05:02 |
| holstein | nicholas: doesnt crash for me.. what is the errors? | 05:02 |
| holstein | i would work with the docky crashing.. would you like to share details? or just try another dock? | 05:03 |
| nicholas | 2 things with docky: when i unplug the charger for my laptop, the dock closes and I have to restart it. and the battery indicator doesn't show up in the dock | 05:05 |
| nicholas | I think there is a way to solve the charging issue | 05:05 |
| holstein | nicholas: you can always try #ubuntu, since, its not a xubuntu or xfce application | 05:06 |
| holstein | might find more docky users there.. i havent ever had any issues with it | 05:06 |
| holstein | just install, and use it.. when i want a dock.. | 05:06 |
| nicholas | I want it to replace my panel, as I think it looks terrible | 05:07 |
| AuAg | why not just make the panel small with a transparent background? | 05:13 |
| holstein | nicholas: thats what i was talking about ^ with an xfce panel | 05:13 |
| holstein | making it look like docky, with the tools that you are used to, that work well | 05:14 |

| XATRIX | Before the upgrade i was able to switch tabs by pressing ALT+tab_number, to switch to, but now it doesn't work | 11:47 |
| XATRIX | Any idea where can i fix shortcuts for it ? | 11:47 |
| deshipu | XATRIX: in the settings you can set those shortcuts | 12:00 |
| XATRIX | deshipu: which settings are you talking about ? | 12:01 |
| XATRIX | How can i get in there? | 12:01 |
| deshipu | I'm looking for it | 12:01 |
| XATRIX | Ah, sorry | 12:01 |
| XATRIX | I didn't found any settings for | 12:02 |
| deshipu | XATRIX: ah, sorry, that was a different terminal program I remembered it from | 12:02 |

| XATRIX | Hi guys, i'm using standard xfce4-terminal emulator, but something goes wrong after i upgraded my xubuntu | 14:30 |
| XATRIX | Before the upgrade i was able to switch tabs by pressing ALT+tab_number, to switch to, but now it doesn't work | 14:30 |
| XATRIX | Any idea where can i fix shortcuts for it ? | 14:30 |
| GeoMint | XATRIX, i wouldn't upgraded ;) | 14:33 |
| XATRIX | GeoMint: I already did it :) | 14:34 |
| GeoMint | XATRIX, i have no idea how to fix it :/ i never upgrade to a newer version because you will have errors. i prefer to use a fresh install | 14:47 |
| XATRIX | Yea, but i have too much to reinstall in case of a clean install | 14:49 |
| XATRIX | Anyway i have no error, i simply have strange behavior | 14:49 |
| XATRIX | Also, i have a strange thing, when i try to lower the brightness of the screen, i press Fn+<= on my keyboard | 14:54 |
| XATRIX | It reduces the brightness, but it opens Display properties window O_o | 14:55 |
| XATRIX | Maybe there's a shortcut for it ? I'd like to disable | 14:55 |
| XATRIX | If i rise the brightness by Fn + => it does ok, without the issue | 14:55 |
| GeoMint | hmm look at keyboard shortcuts | 15:17 |
| GeoMint | XATRIX | 15:18 |
| XATRIX | yea, nothing in there | 15:20 |
| GeoMint | :/ | 15:20 |
| GeoMint | idk | 15:20 |
| XATRIX | No signs of Display properties, binded to Fn+... | 15:21 |
| ochosi | default shortcut is set to XF86Display | 15:21 |
| ochosi | that's the media key for display settings | 15:21 |
| XATRIX | Hm | 15:21 |
| ochosi | you can also open "xev" on the command line and hit your function key for lowering the brightness to see what key-codes it sends | 15:22 |
| ochosi | maybe it sends more than 1 | 15:22 |
| XATRIX | GeoMint: Yes, that fixed the trouble! | 15:22 |
| XATRIX | Thanks | 15:22 |
| ochosi | what fixed the trouble exactly? | 15:23 |
| GeoMint | XATRIX :) | 15:23 |

| alzen | Hello | 20:48 |
| alzen | Sorry to mess up the main channel but guys, did Xubuntu team fix non-working xfce4-power-manager? | 20:48 |
| alzen | I mean ignored settings | 20:49 |
| alzen | I say bug report thought it's pretty fresh so someone will fix it in a week or two, a month had passed | 20:49 |
| alzen | It's silly, it's big GNU/Linux distro(i use linux for more than 12 yrs) and such a bug shouldn't go aroung for so long :/ | 20:50 |
| alzen | There aren't even any tutorial how to replace it with gnome power manager - installing the most obvious package doesn't do the job - as it was said by a few users around the net | 20:51 |
| alzen | it's just crazy | 20:52 |
| alzen | First reported around 2012 - we have 2015 / go go open source - it's not funny, it's terrible... how can a distro be administrated this way...? | 20:59 |

| new_nick | hello, I'm new to Xubuntu and I would like to know how to map shortcuts for multimedia players. Things like turning up and down the volume, skipping songs.. | 21:08 |
| new_nick | what I'm wondering is how I can know what commands to set in shortcuts manager | 21:10 |
| elfy | check the player's help - I know that parole will give you the command in terminal for example | 21:10 |
| elfy | depends which player | 21:10 |
| elfy | generally -help so parole -help | 21:12 |
| elfy | then once you know the command - set them up in keyboard - app shortcuts | 21:13 |
| === zoktar_ is now known as zoktar | ||
| new_nick | thanks, I will have to pick the best mediaplayer for my needs first | 21:15 |
| elfy | good luck with that ... took me ages :) | 21:16 |
| new_nick | ehehe | 21:23 |
| new_nick | what about system settings? I would like to know how to turn up system's audio volume for example | 21:26 |
| xubuntu23w | downloaded Xubunutu now what do I do? | 21:55 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, burn it to a DVD or create a bootable USB stick | 21:55 |
| xubuntu23w | what for I just want to run it | 21:56 |
| bekks | xubuntu23w: For "running it", you need to create a bootable medium and boot it. | 21:57 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, you can alternatively create a virtualized environment for it | 21:57 |
| xubuntu23w | what does that mean? | 21:57 |
| knome | that means you'll create a kind of sandbox for xubuntu where you run it under your main operating system | 21:58 |
| xubuntu23w | you want me to go outside and build a sandbox? | 21:58 |
| knome | maybe you should if you aren't taking our tips seriously. | 21:59 |
| xubuntu23w | look I downloaded Xbunutu from the site and I have this folder filled with stuff that keeps saying I need a application and nothing in the install..installs | 22:01 |
| knome | you got to realize xubuntu isn't a windows application | 22:01 |
| knome | it is an operating system | 22:01 |
| knome | i pointed you to the two ways you can try it | 22:01 |
| knome | either create a DVD/USB, or run it in a virtualized environment | 22:02 |
| knome | you can't run it "just like that" | 22:02 |
| new_nick | is there a way to enable a searching feature within Xubuntu's default file manager? | 22:03 |
| xubuntu23w | I downloaded Ubunutu and followed the screen prompts and it ran no problem why doesn't this work the same | 22:04 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, i believe you were using wubi. xubuntu doesn't support wubi. | 22:04 |
| xubuntu23w | isn't there something in this download to start it? | 22:06 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, no | 22:06 |
| new_nick | also, I deleted a large file (42GB) and it didn't end up in the recycling bin.. How so? This is no good.. | 22:06 |
| Unit193 | new_nick: You can create a custom action in thunar, or use catfish for searching. And depends on your settings and how you removed it. | 22:07 |
| xubuntu23w | I have every linux system ever put out and none of them gave me this much trouble | 22:08 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, is there something else we can help you with? | 22:09 |
| xubuntu23w | just wanted to get this up and running so I could play with it.. | 22:11 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, you can't run it from windows like a windows executable | 22:11 |
| xubuntu23w | this isn't windows its a stupid mac | 22:12 |
| new_nick | Unit193: thunar-wise I have no idea how to accomplish that unfortunately. I don't know the right commands and I'd need a tutorial for that. As to deletion settings, I haven't set anything special. I need to know when files are going to end in the bin and when they aren't | 22:12 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, ok, you can't run it from mac like a mac executable either | 22:12 |
| xubuntu23w | then its as usless as any mac apple | 22:13 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, i'm sorry for your disappointment | 22:13 |
| Unit193 | new_nick: As a general rule, shift+delete will remove it, as will right click+delete. To move it to the trash, just 'delete', or right click+move to trash. | 22:13 |
| new_nick | Unit193: ok I understand. I'm looking for the settings that relate to the trash bin but I can't find them | 22:14 |
| xubuntu23w | just poped that disc in my emachine and up it poped and loading as I henpeck these keys | 22:14 |
| new_nick | Unit193: is there a maximum size? | 22:15 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, so you have a disc? try booting with it, eg. putting the disc in the drive and booting the computer | 22:15 |
| Unit193 | new_nick: I don't believe so, but I never use it. | 22:16 |
| new_nick | also, could I use a different file manager? | 22:16 |
| new_nick | like nautilus or nemo or.. kde's one whose name I forget | 22:16 |
| xubuntu23w | loads on the emachine just like windows but not on this worthlessmac | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | dolphin, or LXDE's pcmanfm, yep. | 22:17 |
| new_nick | can I simply install them from Software Center? | 22:17 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu23w: Intel mac though, right? | 22:17 |
| xubuntu23w | no a2004 G4 from the trash can | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | Yeah that's not going to work, it's PPC. | 22:18 |
| Unit193 | !ppc | 22:18 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 22:18 |
| xubuntu23w | its a 10.4 with dual 733 and 2Gmem on board and the disc is staight on for 32bit and the download is straight from Xbunutu in 32bit | 22:22 |
| knome | 10.04 isn't supported any more | 22:22 |
| new_nick | Unit193: speaking of shortcuts, how can I know what commands control system's audio volume level? | 22:22 |
| xubuntu23w | what do I care at 72yrs I probaly won't out live it anyway | 22:23 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, i don't care if you care or not, but it isn't supported and we can't help you with it | 22:24 |
| xubuntu23w | thats not what Xubunutu says they said to ask you | 22:24 |
| knome | no, http://xubuntu.org/help/ clearly states the supported releases; you are arguing with the wrong people here. | 22:25 |
| new_nick | nobody knows? I have no clue... | 22:27 |
| xubuntu23w | if we were arguing Id have you by throat, I came here for education | 22:27 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, please drop the aggressive attitude. | 22:28 |
| xubuntu23w | aggressiveness is the little minds of tweeters twoters and twirkers and I dont do those gay things | 22:29 |
| knome | xubuntu23w, last warning before i'll have to remove you from the channel | 22:29 |
| xubuntu23w | oh boy a take my ball and go home boy....now some one in american give me a list of instritions to follow | 22:31 |
| xubuntu71w | waiting for that list | 22:33 |
| new_nick | arrogant | 22:34 |
| xubuntu71w | in american if you please | 22:34 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, xubuntu 10.04 is not supported. | 22:34 |
| xubuntu71w | I dont care if it isnt..I just want a instruction list so I can go play | 22:35 |
| Unit193 | new_nick: You were looking for keyboard shortcuts? Settings Manager > Keyboard, and then there's also some in Settings Manager > Window Manager > Keyboard. | 22:36 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, you can search for it in the internet at your own risk. last time, 10.04 installations aren't supported on this channel | 22:36 |
| new_nick | there they are!! Thank you | 22:36 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, as a friendly suggestion, if ubuntu works for you, i would use and play with that | 22:37 |
| xubuntu71w | Ive serched the net and they are no help | 22:37 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, then you are on your own figuring it out | 22:37 |
| new_nick | Unit193: I can only find parole's volume commands | 22:38 |
| new_nick | is it hard to set system's volume through keyboard? | 22:38 |
| Unit193 | new_nick: Ah sorry, misunderstood you. I'd use `amixer` for that. | 22:39 |
| new_nick | this way whichever player I'm going to pick from the several alternatives there are I'm not going to freak out at changing the shortcuts :) | 22:39 |
| new_nick | amixer --help to find out? | 22:39 |
| xangua | you should be able to change your volume from your media keys | 22:39 |
| new_nick | xangua that is right! I'm just not familiar with them because they didn't use to work in Windows XD go figure.. | 22:40 |
| new_nick | but anyway, amixer wouldn't help as far as I can read from the terminal "amixer --help" | 22:41 |
| xangua | years ago media keys didn't work out of the box :P | 22:41 |
| brainwash | new_nick: run "man amixer" | 22:41 |
| new_nick | oh "man" is better | 22:41 |
| new_nick | thank you | 22:41 |
| Unit193 | For this one? Yes. I use it in crontab to mute system sounds at night. | 22:41 |
| new_nick | xangua, I used windows till one week ago XD | 22:41 |
| new_nick | Unit193: clever | 22:41 |
| new_nick | I prefer turning off my speakers though | 22:42 |
| new_nick | so.. amixer -R something? | 22:45 |
| new_nick | well, most keyboards around have media keys but what about those that lack them? | 22:51 |
| Unit193 | In that case I just use the scroll wheel on the sound indicator (or volumeicon for the one I disabled pulse) | 22:51 |
| new_nick | nice to know | 22:52 |
| new_nick | I understand that configuring shortcuts isn't as easy as in other distros | 22:53 |
| * Unit193 shrugs, works fine for me. | 22:53 | |
| new_nick | well.. I've been looking for the best distro for me since I dropped Windows as more and more people will do and coming from Kubuntu, Ubuntu, and Mint Xubuntu is the one that merges the customizing features of KDE (but it is more stable and looks better) with the benefits of lightweight DEs. This could be my definitive choice for my future steady OS. I'm just realizing not everything is very user-friendly so Lubuntu still sounds allu | 22:58 |
| new_nick | excuse my English if I make mistakes | 22:59 |
| Unit193 | You were cut off at "Lubuntu still sounds all" | 22:59 |
| new_nick | alluring in a way* | 22:59 |
| new_nick | Lubuntu isn't very customizable though so Xubuntu still wins so far | 23:00 |
| xubuntu71w | closed up the chickens, got a new cup of coffee, and a cigar and set my clock for 24/7 and here I am.waiting for that list in american, oops forgot to turn on dragon speaky so lets go. downloaded and have on disc Xubunutu linux live & install 32bit for powermac G4, waiting for instruc list on installing it. | 23:00 |
| new_nick | xubuntu71w: you just have to realize that people don't have to help you, they do out of their kindness | 23:02 |
| xubuntu71w | kindness would be to keep educating this oldmans mind | 23:03 |
| new_nick | as long as they behave | 23:03 |
| xubuntu71w | you dont set the rules for your elders | 23:03 |
| new_nick | you don't get help if you're arrogant | 23:03 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, please, drop the attitude | 23:04 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, as new_nick said, everybody is a volunteer here, and i won't want to have the volunteers and other people put up with your attitude, so i will have to remove you again (and it's going to be harder to get back after that) if you continue it | 23:04 |
| xubuntu71w | oh come on we can do this theasy way, sorry dragon doesnt always right the way I speak | 23:05 |
| xubuntu71w | dancing girls that what you need, shall I bring them over | 23:07 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, i gave you a fair deal, this is not what the deal was about | 23:08 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu71w: In addition to that, I already had the bot give you a link to PPC instructions. A 32bit ISO isn't going to help you if it is indeed a G4, as those were PPC CPUs. In that case, basically you'll have to install from the mini.iso, then install the xubuntu-desktop task. As you clearly won't drop the attitude, it seems pretty pointless to try and help you too. | 23:08 |
| xubuntu71w | dont want to be a member but thanks fgor the help that last line helped | 23:09 |
| xubuntu71w | I knew you had in you bye bye. | 23:09 |
| new_nick | what an idiot XD | 23:10 |
| xubuntu71w | little boy and a little mind | 23:11 |
| knome | new_nick, that isn't welcome either, though. | 23:11 |
| new_nick | knome: I know.. it's just human | 23:11 |
| xubuntu71w | that worked mini and tasking thanks for you time | 23:12 |
| new_nick | gmusicbrowser isn't producing any sound... the rest of the system does though. How so? It's set to automatically detect the sound driver, and even by manually choosing the one I use (which I don't know so I tried them all) it still doesn't produce any sound even after restarting it | 23:14 |
| new_nick | ok, I made it | 23:15 |
| xubuntu71w | running just like I knew it should, thank you thank you....mind if I come here to play when Im bored...well maybe Ill just come anyway... | 23:18 |
| knome | xubuntu71w, with better attitude next time then. | 23:19 |
| xubuntu71w | additude has nothing to do with it, time is the factor at my age. | 23:20 |
| new_nick | like you're going to die sooner if you treat others they way you should? | 23:20 |
| knome | both, please just stop the nonsense | 23:21 |
| knome | new_nick, well in your case, not nonsense nonsense, but offtopic... | 23:21 |
| new_nick | thanks, it's just unfair because you help others for free | 23:22 |
| xubuntu71w | but this is fun, need something as the pages load | 23:22 |
| xubuntu71w | helped you before you were a glint in your daddys eye thats why you are living | 23:24 |
| drc | ah daddy, I wanted to pet the troll :( | 23:24 |
| new_nick | I should go now, thanks everyone for your help | 23:27 |
