| Nixus | anyone having an issue where some icons aren't changing in the alt-tab menU? | 05:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Meerkat | I have a problem with xfdesktop that was not fixed with 4.11.8-0ubuntu0.1. When I log out/log in my desktop icons are moved to the top left, ignoring whatever placements I had before. In ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/ there is a new .rc file that doesn't seem to be used. And the one I do use has been updated with incorrect data. | 10:00 |

| brainwash | Meerkat: does this particular problem occur more often now with the new version? | 10:49 |
| Meerkat | I do not remember. I upgraded to this version a while back before it was added to the repos. | 10:52 |
| brainwash | there is https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11266 | 10:53 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 11266 in General "[bug] Desktop icons order resets" [Major,New] | 10:53 |
| brainwash | which targets version 4.11.8 | 10:54 |
| Meerkat | what does that mean? | 11:05 |
| brainwash | well, please read the bug report comment :) | 11:08 |
| Meerkat | I read all comments. Someone writes that they will revert commit where the bug was introduced. That was 2 weeks ago. | 11:11 |
| brainwash | you could add a comment yourself and ask how things are going | 11:14 |
| Meerkat | nah, I'll just wait another 6 months. I don't feel like creating new email addresses and remembering yet another account. | 11:23 |
| brainwash | we will contact the xfdesktop maintainer and try to resolve the issue soon (as fast as possible hopefully) | 11:28 |
| inerkick | Hi friends. How to connect to Mobile broadband. Is it possible through network manager? or any other app | 13:14 |
| inerkick | when I connect my modem(dongle) it not shows options to connect hence ask | 13:15 |
| xubuntu360 | Hello. | 13:41 |
| spicypixel | is XFCE ever going to get an update? | 13:58 |
| cfhowlett | spicypixel, best ask the #xfce channel | 13:59 |
| spicypixel | I guess so :( | 13:59 |
| spicypixel | guess xubuntu will be running 4.10 for the foreseeable | 13:59 |
| Luyin | use gentoo, there you can have xfce 4.11. but I don't see the point in that yet. | 14:00 |
| Luyin | http://packages.gentoo.org/category/xfce-base | 14:02 |
| spicypixel | yeah arch has the packages too | 14:03 |
| spicypixel | get a feeling lxqt will be done first | 14:04 |
| === henkkus_ is now known as henkkus | ||
| brainwash | spicypixel: but xubuntu does use xfce 4.11 | 14:10 |
| spicypixel | any improvements worth mentioning over 4.10? | 14:10 |
| brainwash | only the about dialog is still showing 4.10 | 14:10 |
| brainwash | many things have changed, but mostly little things have been fixed | 14:12 |
| spicypixel | ah nice | 14:12 |
| brainwash | for example http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/tree/NEWS | 14:13 |
| recon_lap | hi all, trying to install xubuntu onto an old rack sever, getting a black screen after selecting the install language, any tips? | 15:54 |
| recon_lap | 14.04 btw | 15:54 |
| xubuntu150 | Hi, I need some help copying files and whole directories from a windows HD to a DVD | 16:06 |
| xubuntu150 | I have a DVD drive and writable DVDs | 16:06 |
| xubuntu150 | And I can access the windwos HD from the file manager | 16:07 |
| xubuntu150 | No one there? OK Thanks! | 16:07 |
| rosaecaeruleae | would this work? sudo apt-add-key E6A17451DC058F40 | 16:18 |
| recon_lap | is apt-add-key even a command? | 16:20 |
| rosaecaeruleae | i dont know, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9939248/ << thats what I need to fix | 16:21 |
| recon_lap | rosaecaeruleae: you can probably make it ignore the error and force the install. | 16:23 |
| rosaecaeruleae | Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/apps/binary-amd64/Packages 403 Forbidden << how do I fix that? | 16:36 |
| recon_lap | rosaecaeruleae: not sure, but forbidden means the server replied but will not allow you access, maybe it's a problem on the mirror, | 16:43 |
| recon_lap | rosaecaeruleae: maybe you should try a different mirror | 16:43 |
| rosaecaeruleae | trying that | 16:45 |
| rosaecaeruleae | how do I find a list of all unauthenticated sources? all I see is 2 403 errors | 16:53 |
| rosaecaeruleae | but nothing regarding an unauthenticated source | 16:53 |
| holstein | rosaecaeruleae: try using the officially supported repositories | 16:53 |
| holstein | rosaecaeruleae: if you have issues with "getdeb.net", you'll have to ask them how that works.. | 16:54 |
| holstein | them being, the providers/supporters of getdeb | 16:54 |
| holstein | rosaecaeruleae: wow.. you are mixing sources.. utopic sources and trusty sources. thats a bad idea | 16:56 |
| rosaecaeruleae | holstein, how do you know that? | 16:56 |
| recon_lap | right, going to try the text only install :) | 16:56 |
| holstein | rosaecaeruleae: i suggest, remove/clean-up any packages you have installed from unsupported sources, and get "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to complete without error.. then, address your needs with repo packages when possible.. then, move on to ppa's or building from source.. etc | 16:57 |
| recon_lap | so much for that text installer, the one i downloaded it the same as the live cd | 17:29 |
| holstein | recon_lap: should end up with the same | 17:32 |
| holstein | let me look back to find your specific issue.. | 17:32 |
| holstein | recon_lap: on a "rack server", could be as simple as the GPU drivers.. | 17:33 |
| holstein | recon_lap: can you get a minimal, no x, server, headless install? | 17:33 |
| holstein | !mini | 17:33 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:33 |
| holstein | recon_lap: thats where i will start with an install on hardware that "Fails" to run a live environment, after i test the hardware | 17:34 |
| recon_lap | holstein: no internet connection to use here with it, might try that at another location though. | 17:34 |
| holstein | recon_lap: sure.. *dont* use the internet | 17:34 |
| holstein | recon_lap: just install the minimal environment, or the server, no-x environment.. try and isolate the system components out, and test them.. | 17:35 |
| recon_lap | holstein: it's a question of not having the correct wires/plugs to connect it with | 17:35 |
| holstein | recon_lap: ok.. xubuntu wont be able to supplement the need for proper cables in any way.. expecting it to will just waste time | 17:36 |
| recon_lap | holstein: well, it is what it is, wish the bloody thing would just work though | 17:37 |
| holstein | recon_lap: if you want it to "just work", consider purchasing a product that promises linux support.. when you take hardware that is not intended to run linux, and not intended to be a desktop, and try "Re-purposing" it, it can be a challenge | 17:39 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | recon_lap | 17:39 |
| ubottu | recon_lap: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:39 |
| holstein | recon_lap: i assume you have tried all the boot modes in that menu.. i will try all of them when trying to boot hardware i am unfamiliar with.. i want to see that live environment ASAP | 17:40 |
| recon_lap | holstein: I'm trying, takes forever to boot and easy to miss the option screens | 17:41 |
| holstein | recon_lap: sure.. i wouldnt expect this process to be time saving in any way.. | 17:41 |
| holstein | you are fighting with something that potentially may not promise linux support, and, you are fighting the basic design of the product by trying to make it a desktop.. you will need a lot of hands-on troubleshooting and testing | 17:42 |

| dchilano | hi guys | 23:27 |
| knome | hello | 23:27 |
| xubuntu24w | Hello. I have never asked for help in here, but here we go. The battery notification is greyed out in my panel. You guys know a fix? | 23:28 |
| dchilano | I just downloaded NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.35.run | 23:28 |
| dchilano | how do I install it? | 23:28 |
| xangua | dchilano: it is recommended to install the packages from ubuntu official repositories | 23:29 |
| knome | dchilano, why don't you use the drivers from the repository? | 23:29 |
| dchilano | how do I do that? | 23:29 |
| xubuntu24w | http://askubuntu.com/questions/18747/how-do-i-install-run-files | 23:30 |
| knome | dchilano, in the settings manager, check out additional drivers | 23:30 |
| slickymaster | xubuntu24w: If its greyed out, it means it must still be on a panel somewhere. | 23:30 |
| dchilano | thank you Knome | 23:30 |
| slickymaster | xubuntu24w: how many panels do you have? Have you checked the Items tab for each panel that you have to see if its there? | 23:30 |
| xubuntu24w | i only have one panel | 23:31 |
| xubuntu24w | here is an image to reference | 23:31 |
| xubuntu24w | http://postimg.org/image/x9jyczqm1/ | 23:31 |
| dchilano | Knome: in settings manager it says no additional drivers available | 23:32 |
| knome | dchilano, ok... so why do you think you need an additional driver? | 23:32 |
| dchilano | Knome: I thought I had to manually install it for my nvidia gt740 | 23:33 |
| knome | dchilano, if your system is working well (with the open source driver), you're good as is :) | 23:33 |
| xubuntu24w | Slickymaster -: the problem is not that it is greyed out in the panel manager, but the actual background of it is grey :S sorry for my bad explanation | 23:33 |
| knome | xubuntu24w, looks like a theme that doesn't support the gtk version you are running | 23:34 |
| === Guest21718 is now known as bazhang | ||
| slickymaster | xubuntu24w, what knome said ^^ | 23:36 |
| xubuntu24w | hmmm, it is just standard Numix, i think xubuntu comes with it. I also tried changing the theme, and it didn't seem to fix it :/ | 23:36 |
| dchilano | Knome: I was watching a youtube video and it was choppy...So I thought it might be the video driver | 23:37 |
| xubuntu24w | Is there something i'm missing? btw thanks for the help hehe | 23:37 |
| dchilano | but now I realize thats how the video was encoded :P | 23:37 |
| dchilano | I just pulled up some 4k videos and they play splendidly | 23:37 |
| knome | dchilano, yeah... and while i think youtube does that by default now, you can make sure you are using the html5 player whenever possible at http://youtube.com/html5 | 23:39 |
| xubuntu24w | bump* | 23:40 |
| knome | xubuntu24w, no need to do that. | 23:40 |
| xubuntu24w | okay sorry, first time i'm in here :) | 23:40 |
| dchilano | Knome: I believe youtube implemented html5 player by default now | 23:41 |
| dchilano | or am i thinking of https with gmail? | 23:42 |
| knome | dchilano, as i said, i believe it's doing it already... but just to make sure. | 23:42 |
