| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| Evil_Eric | i hate to ask such a simple question but i installed something that aint working and need ro remove it i used a installer but no ppa for it can anyone help xubuntu 14.04 LTS | 03:01 |
| bazhang | installed how | 03:05 |
| bazhang | and what wa s the exact package | 03:06 |
| Evil_Eric | mehhh never mind i figured there was a simple /sudo whatever command | 03:12 |
| bazhang | all set then Evil_Eric ? | 03:22 |
| Evil_Eric | yeah it was in a folder im my home directory | 03:22 |
| Evil_Eric | so now im just busting it out 1 pieca at a time | 03:23 |
| bazhang | what was the package, just out of curiousity | 03:23 |
| Evil_Eric | pia_manager my vpn's beta installer package | 03:24 |
| Evil_Eric | like i tried to explain abouve | 03:25 |
| xubuntu29w | I have a question about using .xsession or .xinitrc with Xubuntu. Could anyone help? | 03:25 |
| Evil_Eric | i figured you wouldnt need all this info just to uninstall something | 03:25 |
| bazhang | depends entirely on what was installed, and the method used | 03:25 |
| Evil_Eric | figured there was just a /sudo apt-get remove then package name to get rid of it | 03:26 |
| Evil_Eric | i just explained all that a min ago | 03:26 |
| bazhang | if apt does not know about it, then that wont work | 03:26 |
| bazhang | checkinstall can be helpful in certain cases, though not this one | 03:26 |
| bazhang | !checkinstall | 03:26 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 03:26 |
| Evil_Eric | it was installed with the installer and no ppa was installed i mean how mmuch more english can i get | 03:27 |
| bazhang | ppa's are actually much easier to manage in that regard with ppa-purge | 03:28 |
| Evil_Eric | yeah i know that | 03:28 |
| bazhang | and asking simple questions on how something was installed are a very basic , normal step in helping troubleshoot issues | 03:28 |
| Evil_Eric | but like i said its a installer not a ppa | 03:28 |
| bazhang | as there are many different type such installers, the case was not clear | 03:29 |
| bazhang | .sh for example | 03:29 |
| Evil_Eric | yeah | 03:29 |
| Evil_Eric | thats exactally what type it was | 03:30 |
| bazhang | network manager should have a way to manage vpn | 03:30 |
| bazhang | thus obviating the need to go outside package management | 03:31 |
| Evil_Eric | yeah it does i was just messin with the beta installer of it checking it out | 03:31 |
| bazhang | a vbox is great for testing stuff; personally I would be very careful about using it on a personal desktop set up | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu29w: Not if you don't tell us what the question is... | 03:32 |
| xubuntu29w | I'm trying to setup uim in Xubuntu, and according to the instructions I'm reading I need to set some environment variables in either ~/.xsession, ~/.xinirc, or ~/.gnomerc, but when I create these files in my home directory and restart the vars don't show as changed in my terminal. | 03:36 |
| bazhang | vim? | 03:36 |
| xubuntu29w | uim "universal input method" | 03:37 |
| bazhang | for what | 03:37 |
| xubuntu29w | It's used to input text for foreign languages and scripts, such as Chinese. | 03:37 |
| bazhang | ibus for that | 03:38 |
| xubuntu29w | Unfortunately I'm having trouble getting it to run. | 03:38 |
| xubuntu29w | I am trying to use uim, not ibus. | 03:38 |
| bazhang | ibus is the correct tool | 03:38 |
| bazhang | especially for such as Chinese | 03:39 |
| xubuntu29w | I'm not going to argue over ibus. I want help with uim. | 03:39 |
| Evil_Eric | http://pastebin.com/MdAkmTB3 <---- theres the paste bin | 03:39 |
| bazhang | !find uim | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Found: gkrelluim, golang-goget-ubuntu-touch-ubuntuimage-dev, libuim-custom2, libuim-data, libuim-dev, libuim-scm0, libuim8, libuima-adapter-soap-java, libuima-adapter-vinci-java, libuima-addons-java (and 44 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=uim&searchon=names&suite=utopic§ion=all | 03:39 |
| bazhang | !info gkrelluim | 03:40 |
| ubottu | gkrelluim (source: gkrelluim): GKrellM plugin for uim. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.3.1-4 (utopic), package size 12 kB, installed size 73 kB | 03:40 |
| bazhang | not used uim, sorry xubuntu29w | 03:41 |
| xubuntu29w | Does Xfce read from .xsession .xinitrc or .gnomerc? | 03:43 |
| xubuntu29w | These are the instructions I'm reading: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Uim/Setup | 03:45 |

| winsux | ey xubuntu comrades! i | 14:52 |
| winsux | 'm having a little bit trouble with my computer because it won't properly boot in GUI mode | 14:52 |
| ObrienDave | !details | 14:53 |
| ubottu | Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 14:53 |
| winsux | i've tried to reset xfce config files but to be honest i don't know where to start | 14:53 |
| winsux | it is a long story: i tried to compile gtk+3.0 on xubuntu 14 | 14:54 |
| winsux | i downloaded all depedencies and most libs compiled successfully, but when i tried to setup gtk+3.0 with ./configure it said 'XInput2 not available' | 14:56 |
| ObrienDave | try asking in #ubuntu there are more people to help you there | 14:56 |
| winsux | after some googling i found out i had to change /etc/default/grub to make sure it boots in 'text' mode | 14:57 |
| winsux | so after using vim and sudo update-grub and sudo reboot it boots in text mode, as expected | 14:57 |
| winsux | but i couldn't figure out how to compile gtk+3.0 properly so i changed /etc/default/grub back to 'quiet splash' (the previous setting) and update-grub and reboot | 14:58 |
| winsux | this is where the problems started. grub boots ok en xfce seems to load properly. | 14:58 |
| winsux | but after a couple of seconds it reverts to a black screen with just a blinking cursor | 14:59 |
| winsux | the only way to get out this was to CTRL+ALT+F1 to open the virtual console and login normally | 14:59 |
| ObrienDave | try asking in #ubuntu there are more people to help you there | 15:00 |
| winsux | isnt that a problem to ask it there? because ubuntu does not use xfce | 15:01 |
| ObrienDave | well, stick around then, someone can help you eventually | 15:02 |
| winsux | well thanks for referring to ubuntu | 15:04 |
| Alexfrench | maybe ask on xfce forum no ?? | 15:05 |
| winsux | good idea. this is a good time to register an account :P | 15:06 |
| Alexfrench | even linux mint 17.1 use xfce too if you want | 15:07 |
| Alexfrench | maybe this error occurs on another distribution | 15:07 |
| winsux | i think that my configurations are messed up but i'm not sure because i'm fairly new to (x)ubuntu distro's | 15:08 |
| ObrienDave | there's an easy fix for it, i can't remember how to do it | 15:11 |
| winsux | once i logged into the virtual console. typing startx or startxfce4 boots a 'working' GUI, but then my audio output devices aren't properly detected. | 15:14 |
| winsux | and typing X just takes me back to the black screen with a blinking cursor | 15:15 |
| ObrienDave | you could try reinstalling xubuntu as a drastic measure. do you have a separate /home? | 15:16 |
| winsux | home/methos is the only dir in /home | 15:17 |
| winsux | that doesn't count as a separate /home i guess? | 15:17 |
| knome | winsux, what happens if you log in with a new user account? | 15:18 |
| winsux | i tried sudo adduser poep to create another account and i logged into that account in the virtual console. then i had to manually type startx to start the GUI. it looked like it had the exact same problems | 15:20 |
| ObrienDave | i mean /home as a separate partition | 15:25 |
| winsux | oh nope everything resides on a single partition | 15:28 |
| winsux | (well i have a swap on another partition, but that's about it) | 15:28 |
| mirinda2k | Good evening, i'm using 14.04. Is there a easy way to make window boarders thicker? It is not good useable for me when try to resize (stretch) a window. | 16:45 |
| elfy | mirinda2k: try using alt + right mouse button to resize windows | 16:46 |
| mirinda2k | i know i can do it with key shortcuts and also there is the triangle in the right lower edge of the window (at least in Bluebird theme), but i really want to make the borders thicker :-) | 16:48 |
| elfy | not sure how - someone else might :) | 16:48 |
| mirinda2k | anyway, thanksm elfy | 16:50 |
| Alexfrench | maybe draw your own window theme ?? first is it possible on xubuntu ?? | 16:50 |
| mirinda2k | sure it would be i assume and i already was thinking about that, but i'm a little afraid of all the work. | 16:52 |
| elfy | mirinda2k: some reading here might help http://sevkeifert.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/increase-window-border-size-in-xubuntu.html | 16:52 |
| elfy | also I believe some other themes use thicker borders | 16:52 |
| mirinda2k | elfy: thanks a lot for the link, that may fit my needs. Happy Saturday! | 16:53 |
| elfy | welcome :) | 16:53 |

| skinofstars | hey gang. i'm just trying out xubuntu. i was wondering if there is a meta-key launcher, like unity? | 17:17 |
| jatt | Super+T opens terminal Super+W opens browser does that count? | 17:21 |
| skinofstars | that's nice, but not very general use | 17:22 |
| skinofstars | i guess i'm used to just hitting super and typing what i want | 17:23 |
| elfy | ctrl+esc opens whisker and you can type then | 17:23 |
| elfy | you can edit that so it uses super instead | 17:24 |
| skinofstars | ahh, that's pretty good. yeah, that'll do. thanks :) | 17:24 |
| jatt | alt+f3 and search app | 17:24 |

| Kream | hi all - I'm running 14.10 -- how do i disable lightdm? | 18:00 |
| Kream | i tried update-rc.d - didnt work | 18:00 |
| Kream | bun - didnt work | 18:00 |
| Kream | lightdm keeps on displaying | 18:00 |
| holstein | Kream: displaying the login screen? you mean? | 18:03 |
| holstein | !text | 18:03 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 18:03 |
| holstein | id see if that still applies | 18:03 |
| Kream | ahhh okay wow | 18:08 |
| Kream | how would one just stop lightdm from running, every boot? | 18:08 |
| holstein | Kream: if i didnt want it, i would remove it | 18:09 |
| holstein | !mini | 18:09 |
| 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 | 18:09 |
| holstein | i would likely start with that ^ instead of xubuntu , and just add the minimao that i want | 18:09 |
| Kream | yeah, i want it but for a few boots on this vm i want it disabled - how would i do that? | 18:10 |
| holstein | Kream: i would try the text mode | 18:10 |
| holstein | Kream: or, remove and put it back.. or, disable properly.. or, just use it all the time, since its not doing anything "bad".. | 18:10 |
| Kream | sure, i could just sudo chmod -x the binary but i want to know how to do it the init script way ... i mean, its been a while since I've drawn a blank on something so basic | 18:15 |
| brainwash | Kream: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-file | 18:18 |
| brainwash | upstart is the default init system in 14.10 | 18:18 |
| Kream | i created lightdm.override - didnt work | 18:22 |
| Kream | ahhhh i just did touch | 18:22 |
| Kream | sec, tryin | 18:22 |
| brainwash | read carefully :) | 18:22 |
| Kream | yeah, the doc i originally read implied a file named lightdm.override would do the job | 18:24 |
| Kream | rebooting... | 18:24 |
| Kream | and it works. thanks brainwash and holstein | 18:24 |
| brainwash | great :) | 18:25 |
| brainwash | run "sudo start lightdm" to launch it on demand | 18:26 |

| bigmek123 | hello, anybody else has wierd white-box problem with icon for dropbox ? | 22:56 |
| bigmek123 | dont think "reinstall it" is the solution I want | 22:56 |
| remline | bigmek123, I had that problem previously, but it recently went away. I'm assuming some update in the past 2 weeks resolved it? | 22:58 |
| knome | well i don't think that would fix it either.. | 22:58 |
| bigmek123 | remline, it just broke when I switched to pure xfce session, not xubuntu session | 22:59 |
| bigmek123 | shouldnt done that probably | 22:59 |
| remline | bigmek123, what do you mean by pure xfce session? | 23:00 |
| bigmek123 | remline, you can choose session you log into, by clicking in the top right corner on a little mouse-icon | 23:01 |
| bigmek123 | there's two for xubuntu 14.04 - xubuntu and xfce | 23:01 |
| remline | bigmek123, I have dropbox v3.2.6. What version do you have? | 23:05 |
| bigmek123 | remline, same | 23:06 |
| remline | bigmek123, I assume restarting the computer didn't help? :) | 23:06 |
| remline | I wish I could tell you why my icon is working now but wasn't before. It fixed itself somehow... | 23:08 |
| bigmek123 | remline, no, I shutdown daily | 23:13 |
| bigmek123 | I have this issue for a couple of days now | 23:13 |
