[00:22] <Doc-Saintly> Hello all, what is the preferred way of installing guest additions for Xubuntu as a VM client?
[00:23] <Unit193> Doc-Saintly: Additional Drivers in the settings manager does it nicely.
[00:47] <Doc-Saintly> Unit193: ok, thanks :D
[00:48] <Doc-Saintly> Unit193: is there a command line way?
[00:48] <Unit193> Doc-Saintly: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms
[00:50] <Doc-Saintly> Unit193: awesome, thanks :D
[00:51] <Unit193> Any time.
[01:56] <timvisher> i just created a new user, and when i try to create a new xfce session, it flashes a black screen and then brings me back to light-locker. how can i diagnose what's going on?
[01:57] <Doc-Saintly> Is there an easy way to forward a port to another computer in the network without SSH?
[01:57] <Doc-Saintly> basically I only want to expose one linux server to the outside, but I'd like to use it to pass connections through to another server
[01:58] <Doc-Saintly> basically, my router won't allow me to forward from one port to a different one, and I don't want to change the ssh port of the second machine, so I'm hoping to forward it with the first machine
[02:02] <timvisher> i just created a different new user, this one is behaving properly. the original user had an encrypted home folder, which i then tried to delete (via Users Settings), is it possible something bad happened there?
[02:04] <timvisher> wat? when i delete the users with the ui, they go away from the ui, but when i close it and reopen it, they return…
[02:26] <chrispage1980> Hi, I'm wondering if any one else has had issues installing Steam with the new 14.04.2 x64 release?
[02:52] <timvisher> so the problem apparently was that the friendly delete user button in the gui didn't actually delete the user, just their home folder... hurray!
[03:29] <diegoaguilar> Hello, I, trying to do aptget update
[03:30] <diegoaguilar> but I get a lot of warnings complaning a connection couldnt be reached
[03:30] <diegoaguilar> and the error E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[03:30] <diegoaguilar> how can I fix this?
[03:47] <timvisher> diegoaguilar: how's your connection?
[03:47] <timvisher> if you `ping google.com` do you get high latency/packet loss stats?
[03:47] <diegoaguilar> yep I do timvisher
[03:47] <Unit193> diegoaguilar: Can you pastebin which ones are failing?
[03:47] <diegoaguilar> sure Unit193
[03:48] <diegoaguilar> Unit193, you will accept hastebin
[03:48] <diegoaguilar> right?
[03:48] <timvisher> diegoaguilar: it's probably that you have a legitimately bad connection then :\
[03:48] <Unit193> That's fine.
[03:49] <diegoaguilar> this is my apt-get update output Unit193 timvisher
[03:51] <timvisher> diegoaguilar: link coming? also it would be useful to see a paste of your ping stats
[03:53] <Unit193> ping -c13 | pastebinit
[03:53] <Unit193> Err... helps to add an address.
[03:54] <timvisher> Unit193: :)
[03:54] <diegoaguilar> lol sorry
[03:54] <diegoaguilar> http://www.hastebin.com/tosexadaza.pl
[03:54] <diegoaguilar> here you have the link
[03:56] <timvisher> diegoaguilar: that appears to have been successful?
[04:00] <timvisher> you're welcome :)
[04:00] <Unit193> Welp.  And yeah, no errors there.
[04:01] <Unit193> timvisher: userdel -r USERNAME  to remove users.
[04:02] <timvisher> Unit193: yep. figured that out eventually. that doesn't explain why the delete button in the gui doesn't work, even though it appears to until you reopen it :)
[04:02] <timvisher> but hey, the most recent upgrade healed my little acer's brightness acpi buttons so i shouldn't complain too much
[04:03] <Unit193> I'd say run users-admin from the terminal to see if it has any output, but it doesn't appear to give any.
[05:02] <erchamion> I just installed Xubuntu 14.04, and after all the updates I got locked out of my account, had to reboot, then I got an internal error
[05:02] <erchamion> Is that a serious problem?
[05:21] <erchamion> I also noticed there was a lot of deleting of packages during the latter stages of my last two installs
[05:22] <erchamion> Another problem is Xubuntu is not recognizing any of the drives I have hooked up to the USB slots
[05:22] <erchamion> the only thing that works in the USB slots are the keyboard and mouse
[05:23] <erchamion> I have never had any problems with any of my USB slots before
[05:24] <erchamion> I looked in the file manager, but there's not evidence of the external drive, nor of the jump drive I hooked up to USB slots
[05:25] <erchamion> Does Xubuntu 14.10 work better than 14.04?
[06:43] <Doc-Saintly> I have an SSH server listening on 2222, netstat seems to agree - but the connectionis refused. am I missing something?
[10:48] <chrislp> Hey, I was wondering. I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver. I've heard I can set the DPI in xorg.conf. If I buy a 24" 4k monitor, can I set the DPI in xorg.conf and everything will scale properly without problems/fuzziness?
[11:05] <cyris212> Seems like the xubuntu live cd isn't able to handle my graphics card
[11:06] <cyris212> Is there anyway around that so I could install xubuntu and add the proprietary driver later on?
[11:33] <xubuntu57w> Hello. I have connected my computer to TV display and extended it. I cannot drag video player on to the TV screen fully to play video in full screen on my TV. Is there something I can do to fix this?
[14:52] <pjotter> hello everybody
[14:53] <pjotter> I wanted to ask you a question about Xubuntu 14.04 that I haven't been able to figure out.
[14:57] <elfy> pjotter: just ask it - if someone can help they will
[15:03] <pjotter> It's about the screensaver, lightlocker or power management. No matter what I do, my monitor always goes to blank after 10 minutes. Even though all settings are in 'off' or 'none' position.
[15:13] <elfy> pjotter: mmm - well I've seen so many different versions of that I've lost any clue tbh - I'm not on 14.04 anymore
[15:14] <elfy> but I would start with removing either lighlocker or xscreensaver - probably not best to have both
[15:14] <pjotter> I was thinking the same. Maybe there is some kind of conflict between those
[15:15] <elfy> yep
[15:15] <elfy> for what it's worth lightlocker and power manager did work for *me*
[15:15] <pjotter> hmmm... it appears I don; t have xscreensaver installed
[15:16] <pjotter> Julst lightlocker
[15:16] <elfy> is this desktop or laptop?
[15:16] <pjotter> desktop
[15:16] <pjotter> But my laptop has the same problem
[15:16] <elfy> mmm yea - as I said "I've seen so many different versions of that I've lost any clue tbh"
[15:17] <pjotter> Think I already found it... it seems an upgrade to a newer version of power manager would solve this bug?
[15:17] <pjotter> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1193716
[15:18] <pjotter> ubottu: What does 'fix released' mean? Is it going to be fixed any time soon? Or do I still need to upgrade power manager?
[15:18] <pjotter> Sorry to hear that ubottu :)
[15:30] <zorro> hello people
[18:54] <belal122> I need to ask, how come there isn't a official xubuntu icon for the panel's "start" button?
[18:56] <pleia2> there is, it's the mouse head
[18:57] <belal122> but that's XFCE's icon, no?
[18:57] <pleia2> no, it's a variation on the Xfce icon, which only includes the head
[18:57] <pleia2> our branding info: http://xubuntu.org/resources/
[18:57] <belal122> ohhh
[18:58] <pleia2> the Xfce icon is a whole mouse :)
[18:58] <belal122> lol i see it now.
[21:10] <paolo> hello, i'd like to disable the wheel-button paste feature
[21:11] <paolo> i've been able to do that with this command: xinput set-button-map 12 1 0 3
[21:11] <paolo> how do i set that permanently? in which init file?
