xubuntu244okay its xubuntu00:10
knomexubuntu244, it isn't; stop lying. you can get support for voyager in their support channels00:10
knomexubuntu244, besides, even xubuntu 12.10 is end-of-life, so no support for that anyway00:11
Unit193Just saying "okay its xubuntu" doesn't make it Xubuntu, I'd recommend trying their support channel(s), forums, or whereever they provide support.00:11
Nixusanyone know how to change the sensitivity of the resizing mode trigger? sorry I don't know what to call it.00:15
knomeare you probably referring to the window border size?00:15
Nixusno, you know when you put your cursor over a corner, you can resize it?00:16
knomeyes, i would still think you are talking about the window border00:17
Nixusok?00:17
ochosior just hold the "alt" key and right-click drag to resize00:17
knomeif you want to use the mouse-only resizing and make the "cue" area bigger, switch to a theme that has bigger borders00:18
Nixusoh, wow never knew that. thanks ochosi!00:18
knomeNixus, http://xubuntu.org/news/window-resizing-in-xubuntu-and-xfce/00:18
ochosiNixus: np, it's my personal favorite for resizing ;)00:19
AgAuthat's a handy tip! way easier than grabbing the edges :P00:19
knomesame here, except i've changed that key binding to super00:20
NixusI'm considering turning off my window borders, as I can do everything from the keyboard00:20
Nixusalso, some of my icons don't seem to change in the "cycle windows" menu. any ideas? sorry for the amount of noob questions00:22
ochosino problem00:23
ochosiyou can't fix that00:23
ochosiit's the app's fault of not setting a proper application icon00:23
ochosi(there's an xorg standard for that that window managers adhere to, but apps have to feed it the proper icon, and some nasty apps hardcode tiny-resolution fugly icons)00:24
ochosiso best report a bug against the offending apps00:24
Nixusok00:24
Nixusyeah, it's also anoying that some icons are really low res, while others are quite high.00:25
ochosiyup, mostly the apps fault00:28
ochosiespecially in the alt-tab dialog00:28
Nixusyes, I want my <3 Numix icons EVERYWHERE! LOL00:28
Nixusmy indicator plugin in my panel isn't transparent. any ideas? my compositor is on.01:50
xanguaNeither mine, at least in 14.0401:53
Nixusweird, it was just working 15 mins ago...01:54
xanguaSeems to be an issue with Ubuntu indicators or maybe some themes01:54
Nixusknow of a fix? It's really hard to see and looks terrible01:55
xanguaI remember I tried some ambiance theme for xfce, yes01:56
xanguaHave you tried another theme?01:56
Nixusno luck, just reinstalled it01:58
Nixusit's always white :/01:58

dalekusaI have an Xbox one controller, and I am wondering if I should download a newer version of the kernel in order to use it with my computer19:26
knomehow have you tried to connect it to your computer?19:29
dalekusaI have 14.1019:29
dalekusait runs kernel 3.1619:29

Klonediohello good people. i have trouble installing xubuntu on Packard Bell easynote te69kb - a laptop that is way too lightweight for win8.1, yet came with it embedded. it my friend made me a xubuntu usb syick with the Universal USB Installer, exe. it booted, then it halted before any proper installation could occur..20:02
sidiKlonedio, just my two cents but the most likely reason would be that the USB stick has been improperly made20:27
sidiI would test it elsewhere first20:27

Harlequin_hello guys. I'm torn. Which do you think is better/more polished? Xubuntu 14.10 or Linux Mint 17.121:08
elfyxubuntu 14.10 ...21:08
HundHarlequin_: I'd have to say Xubuntu.21:08
Harlequin_why?21:08
elfywhy do you think?21:09
HundBig and old community.21:09
Harlequin_what is the compelling reason to use Xubuntu instead?21:09
HundAnd Xubuntu doesnt come with 20.000 packages. :P21:09
Harlequin_I'm confused whether or not that is a good or bad thing21:10
HundDepends I guess. Xubuntu comes with a lot of stuff to.21:10
HundI dont like a lot of stuff myself. :P21:11
Harlequin_so Xubuntu has bigger community?21:11
HundYes21:11
HundIts from the Ubuntu famiyl21:11
Hundfamily*21:11
Harlequin_Are you saying that Xubuntu is considered an official "flavor" of Ubuntu?21:11
elfyit IS one :)21:11
Hund^21:12
elfyhttp://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/flavours21:12
Harlequin_and that it is actiually recognized by Canonical?21:12
elfyyes21:12
Harlequin_awesome21:12
HundAnd Mint makes you think of sweets. Thats a no no! :D21:13
Harlequin_on a stability standpoint, does Xubuntu still win?21:13
HundYes21:13
HundI've been using Xubuntu on and off since 2008 and I never had any problems with it.21:13
Harlequin_I like Matthew Moore's channel on YouTube. He seem to have given Xubuntu a bad review21:14
HundI use it on my server/HTPC for the past years now.21:14
elfyHarlequin_: people do that - others do the opposite - instead of trying to get others to make the decision for you - try them both, make your own mind up21:14
Harlequin_he said (on a comment) that Xubuntu has given him hardware-level problems. Whatever that is.21:15
Harlequin_and that concerns me21:15
Harlequin_personally, I love Xubuntu. That's the one I have installed as my daily driver21:15
deshipuxubuntu uses exactly the same kernel as ubuntu and all the other linux distributions out there21:16
Harlequin_but I'm still in a constant search for feedbacksw21:16
HundIf it works, dont fix it. :P21:16
flux242щ21:16
Harlequin_now if you guys can assure me 100% that Xubuntu is rock-solid, then I might just settle down with it and quit distro hopping altogether.21:17
elfyno-one is going to do that21:17
Harlequin_Good job with the boot screen btw21:17
Harlequin_it looks fantastic21:17
HundYeah. I looks really good these days.21:18
flux242to get tearing free desktop deactivate xfce compositor and install compton21:19
whyameyeI just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04 and now I have global menus (which I do not want). How do I shut that off?21:34
flux242what do you mean by global menus?21:36
Unit193I'd check for unity.21:36
whyameyeglobal menus are when the menu for the application shows up in the top status bar instead of in the app's window21:37
flux242you sure you've installed xubuntu?21:37
whyameyeyeah21:38
whyameyethis is an old system, it probably has 3 window managers on it or something, but xfce4 is what I am in right now21:38
Unit193whyameye: OK, well can you give a list of metapackages installed, or check for anything unity or gnome related running?21:38
whyameyelaunch GNOME services on startup is checked. Maybe I should uncheck that and reboot21:40
whyameyewell this is weird: the terminal window has its menus in its window, but Firefox and Chromium are doing global menus21:41
flux242pastebin ps -A21:41
Unit193whyameye: If it helps make you feel any better, my upgraded 14.04 never had global menus, nor does my 14.10.21:42
whyameyeyeah I updated another machine from 12.04 to 14.04 and it didn't have this problem either21:43
whyameyegonna reboot...21:44
whyameyeI was confused. I'm not seeing global menus. I'm seeing something from the indicator plugin21:57
flo__xubuntu is awesome23:27
flo__just sayin23:27
AgAutis indeed23:31
knomeflo__, thanks for the feedback, and enjoy23:44
