[00:22] Hello all, what is the preferred way of installing guest additions for Xubuntu as a VM client? [00:23] Doc-Saintly: Additional Drivers in the settings manager does it nicely. [00:47] Unit193: ok, thanks :D [00:48] Unit193: is there a command line way? [00:48] Doc-Saintly: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms [00:50] Unit193: awesome, thanks :D [00:51] Any time. [01:56] 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] Is there an easy way to forward a port to another computer in the network without SSH? [01:57] 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] 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] 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] 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] Hi, I'm wondering if any one else has had issues installing Steam with the new 14.04.2 x64 release? [02:52] 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] Hello, I, trying to do aptget update [03:30] but I get a lot of warnings complaning a connection couldnt be reached [03:30] and the error E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [03:30] how can I fix this? [03:47] diegoaguilar: how's your connection? [03:47] if you `ping google.com` do you get high latency/packet loss stats? [03:47] yep I do timvisher [03:47] diegoaguilar: Can you pastebin which ones are failing? [03:47] sure Unit193 [03:48] Unit193, you will accept hastebin [03:48] right? [03:48] diegoaguilar: it's probably that you have a legitimately bad connection then :\ [03:48] That's fine. [03:49] this is my apt-get update output Unit193 timvisher [03:51] diegoaguilar: link coming? also it would be useful to see a paste of your ping stats [03:53] ping -c13 | pastebinit [03:53] Err... helps to add an address. [03:54] Unit193: :) [03:54] lol sorry [03:54] http://www.hastebin.com/tosexadaza.pl [03:54] here you have the link [03:56] diegoaguilar: that appears to have been successful? [04:00] you're welcome :) [04:00] Welp. And yeah, no errors there. [04:01] timvisher: userdel -r USERNAME to remove users. [04:02] 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] but hey, the most recent upgrade healed my little acer's brightness acpi buttons so i shouldn't complain too much [04:03] 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] 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] Is that a serious problem? [05:21] I also noticed there was a lot of deleting of packages during the latter stages of my last two installs [05:22] Another problem is Xubuntu is not recognizing any of the drives I have hooked up to the USB slots [05:22] the only thing that works in the USB slots are the keyboard and mouse [05:23] I have never had any problems with any of my USB slots before [05:24] 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] Does Xubuntu 14.10 work better than 14.04? [06:43] I have an SSH server listening on 2222, netstat seems to agree - but the connectionis refused. am I missing something? [10:48] 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] Seems like the xubuntu live cd isn't able to handle my graphics card [11:06] Is there anyway around that so I could install xubuntu and add the proprietary driver later on? [11:33] 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? === AgAu is now known as Emperor`AgAu === remline_ is now known as remline [14:52] hello everybody [14:53] I wanted to ask you a question about Xubuntu 14.04 that I haven't been able to figure out. [14:57] pjotter: just ask it - if someone can help they will [15:03] 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] 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] but I would start with removing either lighlocker or xscreensaver - probably not best to have both [15:14] I was thinking the same. Maybe there is some kind of conflict between those [15:15] yep [15:15] for what it's worth lightlocker and power manager did work for *me* [15:15] hmmm... it appears I don; t have xscreensaver installed [15:16] Julst lightlocker [15:16] is this desktop or laptop? [15:16] desktop [15:16] But my laptop has the same problem [15:16] mmm yea - as I said "I've seen so many different versions of that I've lost any clue tbh" [15:17] Think I already found it... it seems an upgrade to a newer version of power manager would solve this bug?

Is it going to be fixed any time soon? Or do I still need to upgrade power manager? [15:18] pjotter: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:18] Sorry to hear that ubottu :) [15:30] hello people === zorro is now known as Guest22297 === brainvvash_ is now known as brainvvash === max12345 is now known as Guest9690 === Guest9690 is now known as max12345 [18:54] I need to ask, how come there isn't a official xubuntu icon for the panel's "start" button? [18:56] there is, it's the mouse head [18:57] but that's XFCE's icon, no? [18:57] no, it's a variation on the Xfce icon, which only includes the head [18:57] our branding info: http://xubuntu.org/resources/ [18:57] ohhh [18:58] the Xfce icon is a whole mouse :) [18:58] lol i see it now. === benonsoftware is now known as Guest33721 === max12345 is now known as Guest31865 === Guest31865 is now known as max12345 [21:10] hello, i'd like to disable the wheel-button paste feature [21:11] i've been able to do that with this command: xinput set-button-map 12 1 0 3 [21:11] how do i set that permanently? in which init file?
