=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:28] 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] I found guides that concern older versions of Xubuntu than mine [01:29] Settings Manager > Window Manger Tweaks > Compositor [01:30] Or in a terminal: xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s true [01:30] thank you! I finally found it! [01:30] thanks ;) sorry for the noobness [01:30] Sure. [01:31] have a nice day/evening/night/morning [02:11] hello. how do I set xubuntu to use a horizontal list of when doing "alt-tab" [02:12] jenia: i would just remap it [02:12] install whatever switcher you prefer, and remap the keys.. [02:12] holstein, can you suggest one? [02:12] I mean if you know [02:13] nah.. i just use the defaults, or im in something much lighter.. [02:16] jenia: Newer versions of xfwm have that as a configurable option. [02:18] Unit193, okay. nice thanks [03:50] heya [03:51] what's the bluez version in vivid? [03:51] !info bluez vivid [03:51] bluez (source: bluez): Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 4.101-0ubuntu22 (vivid), package size 627 kB, installed size 2639 kB [03:52] :o [03:52] nice [03:52] but not nice the old bluez in vivid, yet [03:53] Think they're trying to stage 5. [03:53] stage? [03:53] you mean, both version available? [03:54] Meaning, prepping to add it to the main repo. [03:55] hum [03:55] nice [04:14] hi? [04:14] o/ [04:15] ? [04:15] xubuntu13w: yes? hello.. [04:26] the o/ must have scared them away ;P [09:18] 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] WYSIWYG? [09:40] i suggest actually learning html/css/js/php [09:41] or paying someone to write a website, but html and css are pretty simple [09:42] i'd give you a link to a website that i've learned from, but its not in english [11:38] hello, opera27.0 browser is making xubuntu14.10 restart, any help? [11:44] sorry not restart logoff [11:45] sjoshi: check log files, especially the ones in /var/log/lightdm [11:47] brainwash: ok, doing [11:56] hi [11:57] it's me or chrome isn't work properly after the last upgrade? I'm issues refreshing the window when I switch from one desktop to another [12:03] brainwash: I any pattern to search with.. [12:03] error, crash, logoff something [14:24] anyone having your power button instantly power off, then restarts? or anyone know what to do? thanks [14:27] Nixus: you keep asking the same question over and over again === ochosi is now known as ochsoi === ochsoi is now known as ochosi [16:04] hello? [16:04] is it me you're looking for? [16:05] I wasnt looking for anyone specific. [16:05] I was looking for some answers to some questions I had. [16:05] i was referring to the lionel richie song... [16:06] but ask your questions away [16:06] I see. [16:06] So, I recently installed 14.10 [16:06] And I did the full disk encryption... [16:06] And it doesnt appear to have setup a swap partition during the install [16:06] Is this "normal"? [16:07] a swap partition is usually installed with a regular install, but i don't know about full disk encryption [16:09] 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] hi all. why i cannot see in gparted my swap file? [16:45] akis, because swap is not a file, it's a partition [16:45] i know what it is. but gparted does not show this partition. [16:46] akis, then you likely don't have one [16:46] !swap | akis [16:46] akis: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [16:46] is it because whole xubuntu is enctypted? [16:46] akis, that could do it [16:47] i have one because i got on startup the known issue that it cannot be mounted. [16:47] i dont want to have swap file because i have 4gb ram, enough to run xubuntu [16:48] akis, how big is your swap? [16:48] here is my swap: Disk /dev/mapper/xubuntu--vg-swap_1 - 4173 MB / 3980 MiB (RO) [16:48] how can i remove it? [16:49] akis, command line [16:49] when i didnt have the whole xubuntu encrypted i could resize my hda. [16:49] using gparted [16:49] but now i dont see it at all using gparted [16:49] akis, remove the encryption first [16:50] that's more complicated [16:51] akis, yep. that's why I pointed you to fdisk [16:53] 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] akis, you said swap was encrypted? yes, swap is on at boot [16:55] i dont know if it is. i am getting the known message that cannot be mounted [16:56] akis, if it was me, I'd disable/remove swap, set the partitions the way I want, then re-enable swap. [16:57] disable encryption, fix swap, re-enable encryption sorry1 [16:58] BUT ... you could try this: boot an ubuntu USB, run gparted, make your changes [17:41] I can't open the recovery menu. [17:41] i.e. the grub menu [17:41] ter2: the recovery kernel? you cant boot the recovery kernel? [17:41] no, i can't get into the grub menu [17:41] i'm trying to enter recovery mode but holding shift doesn't work [17:42] 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] i can boot into the OS [17:43] just fine [17:43] i just can't open the grub menu [17:43] i lost my password so i'm trying to get to the recovery console to change it [17:44] ter2: i'll set that setting in grub [17:44] !grub [17:44] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [17:44] but, you may not be able to save them, if you dont have your password.. [17:45] i can't log in to change grub settings [17:45] you can always try booting a live iso, and changing those settings [17:45] i guess i could log in as the guest [17:45] !tty [17:45] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [17:45] i know about the tty [17:45] that's not going to help at all [17:45] though, you'll need the user pass [17:45] it *can*, if you have the sudo pass, or a sudo password [17:47] there's only one account on the machine and root doesn't have a password iirc [17:47] ter2: chroot should be similar to this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-ubuntu-password-easily-from-the-live-cd/ [17:47] chroot reset from live environment [17:49] can't you press some key to get into the grub menu [17:50] ter2: yes. shift.. but you state that is not working [17:50] so why wouldn't that be working [17:50] am i getting the timing wrong [17:50] 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] perhaps. [17:50] 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] ter2: if you dont see it, try setting the password with the live iso.. chroot.. cheers.. [17:51] you can use #ubuntu if its slow here.. [17:53] i don't have any problem doing that password reset [17:53] it's just a huge waste of time [17:54] ah, got it [17:54] had to press ESC [18:30] how to install skype? [18:38] Is skype not in the software center ? [18:38] you have to activate the partner repository first [18:38] You may have to activate sources from canonicals partners. [18:40] !skype [18:40] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [18:44] man hab com ch [21:25] 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] correction: installed unclutter [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/unclutter/ ] [21:58] probably use a different distro === dchilano_ is now known as dchilano [22:28] if software is labeled as being debian-based, fedora-based, or slackware-based, it should not work in xubuntu, correct? [22:28] well, depends.. [22:28] Software being distro based specifically? [22:29] I'd like to install spideroak on my xubuntu box [22:30] and under linux it only offers those three options [22:30] Generally speaking, that'd be Debian based then. [22:31] xubuntu uses the debian package management system, so in that regard, xubuntu is debian-based [22:31] knome: thank you again! [22:31] Unit193: thank you as well [22:31] Heh, sure.
