[06:28] <akis> hi all. i recently realized that xfburn cannot write all files (oe because long files name or invalid characters) without any previous warning about that. On K3b has the same behavior but there is a special warning which files should be renamed. is there any option for xfburn too or any oter option to by-pass this issue?
[07:47] <akis> hi all. is there any way to make xfburn not truncate long files names?
[07:48] <akis> or to see which files will truncate to avoid this?
[07:49] <ochosi> sry no clue, can't even remember when i last burned a cd/dvd
[08:00] <akis> ochosi: K3b has this option (to warn about the long or invalid filenames). xfburn seems not to have this option. but i am wondering if there is any way to override this.
[15:50] <GeekDude> Bit of an odd question... I've got two hard drives and a dvd drive in my desktop. I have the main drive on SATA-0, DVD on SATA-1, and secondary drive on SATA-2. In the BIOS I have SATA-1 and SATA-2 disabled, but I can still mount the secondary hard drive somehow
[16:28] <GeekDude> Why is it that I can still see and mount the second hard drive when it's disabled in the BIOS?
[17:15] <holstein> GeekDude: you are likely just "disabling" it from the bootup
[17:16] <GeekDude> I can't see the DVD drive, though. I figured that there would be some kind of consistency
[17:16] <holstein> you have to ask, what does "disable" mean in the bios..
[17:16] <holstein> sure.. could be inconsistency.. could be a bug, or something that a bios update addressed.. or hardware breakage.. etc
[17:25] <GeekDude> holstein: It must just be disable during boot, because I cannot boot when both drives are "disabled"
[17:25] <GeekDude> Either way, it's a moot point because I can just unplug the drive.
[17:50] <patarr> Does anyone here have a working xstartup configuration for vnc server?
[17:51] <patarr> No matter what i try, I can get xfce started in my vnc sessions.
[17:53] <koegs> i suggest this: http://seb.so/vnc-from-boot-without-logging-in-ubuntu-lubuntu-xubuntu-and-mint-lmde/
[18:04] <GeekDude> I've installed chrome and told it to set itself as the default browser. All this does is remove the default browser, and give me the options of "chromium, debian sensible browser, firefox". If I pick chromium, it starts up chrome but chrome says it's not the default browser
[18:04] <GeekDude> Is there a trick here? Or should I just pick chromium and tell chrome I don't want it to ask again
[18:05] <brainwash> GeekDude: no trick, just tell chromium to not ask you again
[19:11] <xubuntu85w> Hey, I've tried looking around and can't find a solution. Every time I open synaptic it bugs me with that intro screen, I can't seem to find a way to turn it off (leaving the checkbox unchecked has no effect). Anybody know how to shut it up?
[19:11] <xubuntu85w> In fact, none of synaptics prefs seem to save, it doesn't remember to close the window after an operation is done either

[19:21] <sidi> If anyone can reproduce this, please follow the instructions. We cannot reproduce it, hence we cannot fix it!
[19:51] <cgt> I accidentially enabled some view desktop zoom thing on a Xubuntu 14.10 box. How do I escape this madness?
[19:52] <Unit193> Alt+scroll
[19:54] <cgt> Unit193: Thank you! You are virtuous.
[21:40] <JP99> hey all

[21:57] <fortuneHuntr> i'm trying to update mysql on a xubuntu box and I keep getting the error: initctl: Unknown job: mysql
[21:57] <fortuneHuntr> Any thoughts on this?
[22:20]  * GeekDude uninstalls lightlocker 
[22:20] <GeekDude> Is there a way to style xscreensaver to not look so ugly?
[22:23] <knome> no
[22:23] <knome> well, without changing the code...
[22:24] <Unit193> GeekDude: Change the border.
[22:24] <GeekDude> I think I'd rather just not have a lock screen :P
[22:25]  * GeekDude toys with xscreensaver 
[22:25] <brainwash> maybe use gnome-screensaver which looks ok-ish
