[01:28] <compwhat> hi everyone, I'm still rather new to Xubuntu and would like to know how to enable the compositor (in Italian "compositore") of the windows manager that I seem to have disabled by chance
[01:29] <compwhat> I found guides that concern older versions of Xubuntu than mine
[01:29] <Unit193> Settings Manager > Window Manger Tweaks > Compositor
[01:30] <Unit193> Or in a terminal: xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s true
[01:30] <compwhat> thank you! I finally found it!
[01:30] <compwhat> thanks ;) sorry for the noobness
[01:30] <Unit193> Sure.
[01:31] <compwhat> have a nice day/evening/night/morning
[02:11] <jenia> hello. how do I set xubuntu to use a horizontal list of when doing "alt-tab"
[02:12] <holstein> jenia: i would just remap it
[02:12] <holstein> install whatever switcher you prefer, and remap the keys..
[02:12] <jenia> holstein, can you suggest one?
[02:12] <jenia> I mean if you know
[02:13] <holstein> nah.. i just use the defaults, or im in something much lighter..
[02:16] <Unit193> jenia: Newer versions of xfwm have that as a configurable option.
[02:18] <jenia> Unit193, okay. nice thanks
[03:50] <sergio-br2> heya
[03:51] <sergio-br2> what's the bluez version in vivid?
[03:51] <Unit193> !info bluez vivid
[03:52] <sergio-br2> :o
[03:52] <sergio-br2> nice
[03:52] <sergio-br2> but not nice the old bluez in vivid, yet
[03:53] <Unit193> Think they're trying to stage 5.
[03:53] <sergio-br2> stage?
[03:53] <sergio-br2> you mean, both version available?
[03:54] <Unit193> Meaning, prepping to add it to the main repo.
[03:55] <sergio-br2> hum
[03:55] <sergio-br2> nice
[04:14] <xubuntu13w> hi?
[04:14] <holstein> o/
[04:15] <xubuntu13w> ?
[04:15] <holstein> xubuntu13w: yes? hello..
[04:26] <ObrienDave> the o/ must have scared them away ;P
[09:18] <MrVamps> does any one know of a web editor like kompozer and bluegriffon. some thing WYSIWYG style, that edits multiple page types(php, html, css, and all
[09:39] <irth> WYSIWYG?
[09:40] <irth> i suggest actually learning html/css/js/php
[09:41] <irth> or paying someone to write a website, but html and css are pretty simple
[09:42] <irth> i'd give you a link to a website that i've learned from, but its not in english

[14:27] <brainwash> Nixus: you keep asking the same question over and over again
[16:04] <xubuntu52w> hello?
[16:04] <knome> is it me you're looking for?
[16:05] <xubuntu52w> I wasnt looking for anyone specific.
[16:05] <xubuntu52w> I was looking for some answers to some questions I had.
[16:05] <knome> i was referring to the lionel richie song...
[16:06] <knome> but ask your questions away
[16:06] <xubuntu52w> I see.
[16:06] <xubuntu52w> So, I recently installed 14.10
[16:06] <xubuntu52w> And I did the full disk encryption...
[16:06] <xubuntu52w> And it doesnt appear to have setup a swap partition during the install
[16:06] <xubuntu52w> Is this "normal"?
[16:07] <knome> a swap partition is usually installed with a regular install, but i don't know about full disk encryption
[16:09] <xubuntu52w> So, my question is... since I am using full disk encryption, does it create the partition inside the main encrypted partition? How does swap and full disk encryption work?
[16:44] <akis> hi all. why i cannot see in gparted my swap file?
[16:45] <cfhowlett> akis, because swap is not a file, it's a partition
[16:45] <akis> i know what it is. but gparted does not show this partition.
[16:46] <cfhowlett> akis,  then you likely don't have one
[16:46] <cfhowlett> !swap | akis
[16:46] <akis> is it because whole xubuntu is enctypted?
[16:46] <cfhowlett> akis,  that could do it
[16:47] <akis> i have one because i got on startup the known issue that it cannot be mounted.
[16:47] <akis> i dont want to have swap file because i have 4gb ram, enough to run xubuntu
[16:48] <cfhowlett> akis, how big is your swap?
[16:48] <akis> here is my swap: Disk /dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-swap_1 - 4173 MB / 3980 MiB (RO)
[16:48] <akis> how can i remove it?
[16:49] <cfhowlett> akis, command line
[16:49] <akis> when i didnt have the whole xubuntu encrypted i could resize my hda.
[16:49] <akis> using gparted
[16:49] <akis> but now i dont see it at all using gparted
[16:49] <cfhowlett> akis, remove the encryption first
[16:50] <akis> that's more complicated
[16:51] <cfhowlett> akis, yep.  that's why I pointed you to fdisk
[16:53] <akis> is it anyway to make swap encrypted too or it is already as the whole xubuntu is encrypted? is any easy way to mount it at start up ? it is a known issue under not encrypted xubuntu and i didnt manage to make it encrypted but now it is a different thing
[16:54] <cfhowlett> akis, you said swap was encrypted? yes, swap is on at boot
[16:55] <akis> i dont know if it is. i am getting the known message that cannot be mounted
[16:56] <cfhowlett> akis, if it was me, I'd disable/remove swap, set the partitions the way I want, then re-enable swap.
[16:57] <cfhowlett> disable encryption, fix swap, re-enable encryption          sorry1
[16:58] <cfhowlett> BUT ... you could try this:  boot an ubuntu USB, run gparted, make your changes
[17:41] <ter2> I can't open the recovery menu.
[17:41] <ter2> i.e. the grub menu
[17:41] <holstein> ter2: the recovery kernel? you cant boot the recovery kernel?
[17:41] <ter2> no, i can't get into the grub menu
[17:41] <ter2> i'm trying to enter recovery mode but holding shift doesn't work
[17:42] <holstein> if i had an issue with grub, my hard drive, or the ram, or some other component, i would expect that.. can you boot *anything*? a live iso? usb? etc..
[17:43] <ter2> i can boot into the OS
[17:43] <ter2> just fine
[17:43] <ter2> i just can't open the grub menu
[17:43] <ter2> i lost my password so i'm trying to get to the recovery console to change it
[17:44] <holstein> ter2: i'll set that setting in grub
[17:44] <holstein> !grub
[17:44] <holstein> but, you may not be able to save them, if you dont have your password..
[17:45] <ter2> i can't log in to change grub settings
[17:45] <holstein> you can always try booting a live iso, and changing those settings
[17:45] <ter2> i guess i could log in as the guest
[17:45] <holstein> !tty
[17:45] <ter2> i know about the tty
[17:45] <ter2> that's not going to help at all
[17:45] <holstein> though, you'll need the user pass
[17:45] <holstein> it *can*, if you have the sudo pass, or a sudo password
[17:47] <ter2> there's only one account on the machine and root doesn't have a password iirc
[17:47] <holstein> ter2: chroot should be similar to this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/
[17:47] <holstein> chroot reset from live environment
[17:49] <ter2> can't you press some key to get into the grub menu
[17:50] <holstein> ter2: yes. shift.. but you state that is not working
[17:50] <ter2> so why wouldn't that be working
[17:50] <ter2> am i getting the timing wrong
[17:50] <holstein> ter2: if its not working, you'll have to try something else.. again, i have seen that not show with some GPU drivers
[17:50] <ter2> perhaps.
[17:50] <holstein> ter2: with my via chip, i dont see it.. but, what i do for the "timing" is, i just tap shift.. *all* the time, after i power the machine on
[17:51] <holstein> ter2: if you dont see it, try setting the password with the live iso.. chroot.. cheers..
[17:51] <holstein> you can use #ubuntu if its slow here..
[17:53] <ter2> i don't have any problem doing that password reset
[17:53] <ter2> it's just a huge waste of time
[17:54] <ter2> ah, got it
[17:54] <ter2> had to press ESC
[18:30] <xubuntu811> how to install skype?
[18:38] <gabkdlly> Is skype not in the software center ?
[18:38] <koegs> you have to activate the partner repository first
[18:38] <gabkdlly> You may have to activate sources from canonicals partners.
[18:40] <brainwash> !skype
[18:44] <xubuntu811> man hab com ch
[21:25] <James_Epp> Hi everyone. I'm constructing my install of xubuntu to serve as a static setup to boot up, and display a website. Any recommendations you guys can make so that this system never goes down or behave differently? So far I have installed uncluttered to remove mouse rendering after an idle time, and disabled screenviewer and update notifications. Anything else can think of?
[21:26] <James_Epp> correction: installed unclutter [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/unclutter/ ]
[21:58] <spicypixel> probably use a different distro
[22:28] <dchilano> if software is labeled as being debian-based, fedora-based, or slackware-based, it should not work in xubuntu, correct?
[22:28] <knome> well, depends..
[22:28] <Unit193> Software being distro based specifically?
[22:29] <dchilano> I'd like to install spideroak on my xubuntu box
[22:30] <dchilano> and under linux it only offers those three options
[22:30] <Unit193> Generally speaking, that'd be Debian based then.
[22:31] <knome> xubuntu uses the debian package management system, so in that regard, xubuntu is debian-based
[22:31] <dchilano> knome: thank you again!
[22:31] <dchilano> Unit193: thank you as well
[22:31] <Unit193> Heh, sure.
