mozmckIs there an easy way to create samba shared folders in xubuntu?  In Nautilus/Nemo there is a plugin making it easy to share a folder from the file manager...13:44

mirinda2kgood evening, i just installed me a fresh 14.04 LTS on amd64 machine, but now there are some volume icons on the desktop i do not want. how to get rid of these?17:13
cerealso i'm trying to figure out why wireshark from the menu keeps trying to launch with gksudo but yet its not referenced at all in the .desktop file...what am I missing?17:14
GridCubeyou can either add them to fstab so they automount and you dont see them anymore, or you can hide the icons from the desktop settings17:14
mirinda2khiding via settings didn't work for me - thanks for the tip with fstab!17:15
mirinda2khmm,  "cat /etc/fstab | grep sdb" gives no result, but these are clearly sdb partitions :-(17:18
GridCubethey are mounted by their hash17:18
GridCubealso if you see them on your desktop they are not added to fstab17:19
GridCube!fstab17:19
ubottuThe /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions17:19
mirinda2khmm, k. so seems there is no way to get rid of the icons :-(17:19
GridCubemirinda2k: what?17:21
GridCubeno just add the lines to fstab17:21
mirinda2k"Desktop settings" only give me the opportunity to remove "disks and drives" as whole - but thats not what i want17:21
mirinda2koh, adding? i was thinking of removing something from fstab17:22
GridCubeno, you want to add the drives there, so they automount for themselves and dont appear on the desktop waiting for you to click them to mount17:22
mirinda2kbut i do not want them mounted at all :-/17:23
GridCubethen set them to not mount17:23
mirinda2kk, thanks, will consult the manpage for that. thanks a lot!17:23
mirinda2kmay i ask another noob question (as mi'm alreadxy here?)17:24
GridCubeshoot17:24
mirinda2ki downloaded seamonkey, but when i try to execute it it just says "Failed to execute file "seamonkey-bin". Failed to execute child process "/home/default/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin" (No such file or directory)."17:25

m3n3chm0hello, anybody here is using Firefox on Ubuntu, Xubuntu in my case or any other derivate Ubuntu distribution ¿???18:17
knomem3n3chm0, why don't you ask the real question and find out18:17
m3n3chm0good :) hello knome my problem is just inmy Xubuntu laptop Toshiba a660 13T with 4GB and Nvidia dedicated 1GB ram my Firefox is a holy crap about the speed or charge... I've tested all tips found on the NET without success.. pipelining, deactivating all addons (i only use ublock, and two or three more of them..))18:20
m3n3chm0so i'm findind out what exactly the problem is...18:20
m3n3chm0i'm using propietary driver from Nvidia version 331.11318:20
m3n3chm0ohhh xubuntu 63 bits and also firefox 64 i guess... i tried to install firefox 32 bits but the results were the same :S18:21
m3n3chm0it's lagging a bit time.. about 3-4 seconds charging the webs it's strange...18:21
m3n3chm0as you know in windows Firefox is working like a charm , in this same machine18:21
m3n3chm0i tested more distros... but Xubuntu is very light i think about the XFCE no problems... so why is Firefox having this bad performance ??¿¿18:22
m3n3chm0sorry guys for this bible Text... :)18:22
xubuntu10wHi, Iìm new to Xubuntu. I'm trying to run it (and in this moment it is running) from an USB 2.0 3.60GB Pen drive. It runs some days and then the system crashes, the pen becomes write protected and I have to fix it with a special executable file I got by the pen maker. More, when at the Installer boot menu I select 'Check disk for defects' right before running X and after installing it, it finds there are some errors in 1 file. X 18:24
xubuntu10wAre there pen drives more suitable to being made bootable or should I change disk, for example an external HDD?18:26
m3n3chm0knome  '18:27
m3n3chm0did you read ?18:27

xubuntu15dhi iv moved over from unity to xubuntu but lost my sound any one can help pls?18:58
dmtarmeyanyone able to help with sound lost it after moving over from unity19:02
dmtarmeyhi ?????????19:05
elfyhi19:06
elfynot sure if you've used #ubuntu before, if you have then you'll find this channel less immediate - it having much less people in it - let alone actively watching19:07
elfyanway - the main difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu is the DE, so if your card worked there it should here, before you do anything else - check Pulse Audio controls - you'll find it in Multimedia in the menu19:09
dmtarmeyelfy the sound setting are all up but the bar at the bottom which should show the level of live feed is empty19:19
=== elfy is now known as hobgoblin
hobgoblindmtarmey: on the config tab - do you have it set up for the right options, then on theoutput  tab - I set my normal card as the fallback - green tick top right corner19:24
hobgoblinalso what card is it?19:24
dmtarmeyhobgoblin can you explain !!19:25
hobgoblinwords could go on - so ...19:27

hobgoblinhttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot2015-02-1019-26-42.php19:27
hobgoblinand then finally - you can see in the last one the right card is selected for playback19:28
hobgoblinhttp://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot2015-02-1019-27-15.php19:28
dmtarmeyit says no card available19:29

bazhangdmtarmey, you still using ubuntu then?19:31
elfymight be an old xuubntu - no inxi :)19:32
dmtarmeyi have ubuntu with xubuntu front end19:32
elfyoh right19:32
bazhangwhat version19:32
Unit193'xubuntu' or Xfce?19:32
dmtarmeydont know i just upgrade to bleededing edge i think, though it might fix the problem, haw can i tell what version it has upgraded to.19:33
bazhang!version19:33
ubottuTo find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> »19:33
bazhangdmtarmey, ^19:33
dmtarmey14:10 it says19:34
elfybut it's still Ubuntu - you just have a new DE installed? as Unit193 says - what - did you install xfce or 'xubuntu' ?19:35
dmtarmeyhobgoblin http://paste.ubuntu.com/10162888/19:37
dmtarmeyelfe xfce over unity19:38
dmtarmeyelfy how can i convert to full xububtu as xfce dosnt seem to work19:40
elfyrun aplay -l and paste that to paste.ubuntu.com19:42
dmtarmeyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10162974/ elfy19:43
elfyjust aplay -l19:43
dmtarmeycommand not found19:44
elfyaplay -l19:45
dmtarmeyhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10162986/19:46
dmtarmeyelfy!!19:47
elfyyes19:48
dmtarmeydid you get that http://paste.ubuntu.com/10162986/19:49
elfyso it is recognised19:49
dmtarmeyso it seems but still no sound19:50
dmtarmeyelfy can i restore the system back to first installation as it was working then?19:51
elfyremove what you added to ubuntu19:51
elfyI'd check alsamixer to see if it's decided to turn on (or off) digital output19:53
dmtarmeyanythink that will get the sound working and an os that likes myu old machine, as my little boy broked my best machine so im on this one till i get the screen fixed.19:53
elfybut there's not a reason that I know of for sound being lost after installing a DE only19:53
dmtarmeyelfy iv done loads to the system since installing it!!19:54
elfyfrom what we have read in here - sound worked, you installed xfce, sound doesn't work19:54
dmtarmeyto be honest cant remember at what point it stopped working that why i would like to do a clean install of xbuntu on the machine from command line if this can be done19:55
elfywell you can install with sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop19:56
elfybut there's no easy way of getting rid of the old ubuntu-desktop parts19:56
dmtarmeydo you think this will work ok?19:57
elfyI can't answer that question - I've no idea what else is on it - you might be better trying a clean install19:57
dmtarmeyok will do cheers19:58
pjotterHello everybody. I installed Xubuntu 14.04 on my computer but I can't seem to turn off the screen-saver. Even though I turned everything off in the settings menu, the monitor goes blank after 10 minutes or so. Does anybody know how to fix this?20:26
Slesa@pjotter sounds a bit like power management20:41
pjotterI tried setting power management. But nothing changes.20:42
SlesaLight Locker Settings?20:42
pjotterBasically what I have done: all slides to left "0/none" position and all tickers to "off" position. Both for power management and lightlocker. But still the computer goes to blank after 10 minutes.20:43
SlesaNo idea which is responsible for turning out at last - you still could turn off power management and screensaver in "Session and Startup/Autostart", but I know that to be buggy :/ and then turnoff light locker completely.20:47
SlesaIf it still happens, I am out. Sorry20:47
pjotterI'll fiddle around a bit. Thanks for the help!20:53
salseroohi all. i have new installed kontakt/kmail on my xubuntu. but i have a akonadi problem. akonadi doenst work correct is the error report21:00
salseroohow can i fix this problem21:00
knomesalseroo, i'd ask in #kubuntu, they'll know better what dependencies etc kde applications need to have in order to work21:07
salserooi will use kmail, kontact and knotes21:17
salserooand calender21:17
salserooi have to copy the mails in kmail on a email client on a other pc. which xubuntu email client is suitable for this problem. in which email client i can import easyly kmail emails?21:20
bekkssalseroo: In noone. The most convinient way would be using an IMAP mailbox.21:41
salserooi have many emails in kmail. it is to late for imap21:41
salserooi would export them in a easy compatible email client21:42
SlesaAre we speaking about POP3 Mails or about IMAP mails?21:42
SlesaWho is nowadays still using pop?21:43
salseroopop3 mails21:50
