| phunyguy | running into another issue.... whenever I click links from external applications, it opens a new blank firefox window... and not the link I clicked. This is a fresh install! | 02:08 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | phunyguy: phresh install of 14.04? 14.10? stock xubuntu 32bit? | 03:45 |
| phunyguy | holstein: fresh 14.04.2, looks like the entry in default applications settings is broken. | 03:46 |
| phunyguy | 64 bit | 03:46 |
| phunyguy | I added a new one with /usr/bin/firefox "%s" and that worked. | 03:46 |
| holstein | cool.. | 03:46 |
| phunyguy | I even created a new user on here and tested it... did the same thing. | 03:47 |
| holstein | sure.. might be a bug from somewhere | 03:47 |
| holstein | no doubt, that sort of thing isnt tested | 03:47 |
| phunyguy | yep | 03:47 |
| holstein | i consider it an unconfigured configuration ;) | 03:47 |
| chrisco97 | I have a quick question I wondered if anyone could answer. | 05:30 |
| chrisco97 | Is there a way to hide the icon in the default weather applet that comes with Xubuntu? | 05:31 |

| michal__ | hello guys, after last update of firefox on trusty I think there may be a bug | 10:36 |
| michal__ | after clicking links on other programs such as thunderbird or liferea, firefox shows up but as new window with start page | 10:38 |
| brainvvash | michal__, that most likely https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11601 | 10:38 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 11601 in Helpers "exo-open: firefox no longer supports -remote" [Normal,New] | 10:38 |
| michal__ | yeah | 10:39 |
| michal__ | thank you guys, I think I need to temporarily choose chromium as a default... | 10:39 |
| brainvvash | michal__, run "gvfs-mime –set x-scheme-handler/http firefox.desktop", restart the app and click a link | 10:42 |
| brainvvash | this may resolve the problem (maybe only temporary) | 10:42 |
| michal__ | as much as I like Xfce, I'm afraid that the official fix will come after months or years :( | 10:43 |
| brainvvash | also, x-scheme-handler/https for https | 10:43 |
| brainvvash | nah, it will be fixed asap we get a patch | 10:44 |
| michal__ | brainvvash, this commands affect only the file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list ? | 10:45 |
| brainvvash | if assigning the mime type manually works (persistent), then there is at least a simple workaround/fix | 10:45 |
| brainvvash | michal__, I think so, yes | 10:46 |
| michal__ | then I'll temper it manually | 10:46 |
| brainvvash | just tested it and it works here (xubuntu 15.04) | 10:47 |
| michal__ | that only worked, when I chose firefox to open links in liferea preferences | 10:52 |
| michal__ | at least I know what's wrong - more or less ;) | 10:53 |
| brainvvash | :D | 10:53 |

| TopGear | Hello! | 14:16 |
| knome | hello | 14:21 |
| TopGear | I can't find any 12.04.5 .torrent desktop files. Weren't they generated? | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | TopGear, check your settings. Where did you tell your client to store them. | 14:25 |
| TopGear | cfhowlett, I just mean the .torrent files for the desktop version of Xubuntu 12.04.5 from cdimage.ubuntu.com. | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | TopGear, confirmed. highest version is 12.04.4 | 14:27 |
| TopGear | The dailies are only the Alternates, AFAIK. Can I update 12.04.4 via apt-get dist-upgrade/update manager to 12.04.5? | 14:28 |
| cfhowlett | TopGear, yes, dist-upgrade should jump you to 12.4.5 | 14:30 |

| brownfaux | is there a default disk partitioner for Xubuntu, or a prefered one? Just wanting to reformat some drives | 17:09 |
| holstein | brownfaux: i like gparted, when its doing what i need it to do.. which is most of the time | 17:10 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted | 17:10 |
| genii | gparted is the defacto standard partitioner | 17:10 |
| brownfaux | holstein: yea I normally use that, but it didn't come pre installed on my fresh install of xubuntu, wasn't sure if the community was trying to suggest something new or different | 17:11 |
| brownfaux | ill install that and go on as usual | 17:12 |
| Oskar__ | Hello, is anyone there? | 17:19 |
| holstein | yes.. many are here. if you have a question, ask Oskar__ , and a volunteer may be able to assist.. welcome | 17:20 |
| Oskar__ | when inserting a usb drive, it is automatically mounted. If I choose files to transfer to my hard drive, it works if it's only one. If however, I select more what happens is that it says "collecting files" while nothing happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? | 17:22 |
| holstein | Oskar__: not definitively.. i would try isolating and testing.. i have other sticks laying about, though.. i would try other filemanagers, after checking for and applying updates. i would try other formats, and other sticks, and that stick other places as well.. even if its just live iso's on that same hardware | 17:23 |
| Oskar__ | alright holstein will do. Thanks a lot! | 17:24 |

| knome | xubuntu51w, ask; if somebody knows the answer, they'll most likely reply | 17:40 |
| xubuntu51w | here's my problem : i'm on xubuntu 14.10, and when I close my laptop's screen, my laptop goes hibernate | 17:41 |
| xubuntu51w | when it restart, i found the lock screen, i inser my password and then ... blackscreen | 17:42 |
| xubuntu51w | I'l still able to interact with the computer aka : if just before hibernate I was watching a video on youtube, i'm still capable to start/pause the video by clicking where it should be but I can't see the video or anything else, it's just black | 17:43 |
| xubuntu51w | if I log like a guest, there is no problem... | 17:44 |
| xubuntu51w | can anyone help me ? | 17:44 |
| klopsi-u3 | hmm | 17:47 |
| klopsi-u3 | maybe it is a video driver problem xubuntu51w | 17:50 |
| xubuntu51w | i don't have a graphic card | 17:51 |
| genii | You don't have a graphic card? | 17:52 |
| xubuntu51w | except the one on my laptop processor (intel i5) | 17:53 |
| klopsi-u3 | can you switch to a virtual terminal and back to X to see if that restores your screen_ | 17:55 |
| klopsi-u3 | ? | 17:55 |
| klopsi-u3 | i dont even know if ubuntu supports consoles with ctrl-alt-f1, f2 etc | 17:56 |

| innocent | Hi again.Missed any answers before :/ Just did a fresh14.04 install.Got 1 extra onitor attached to the laptop and an ati r7 graphics card.On the top part of my native screen there is a pink flickering line.Already tried the open and the proprietary ati drivers.Could som1 point me to some related reading on solving this?Thanks in advance! | 19:23 |
| holstein | innocent: well, unfortunatley, the "answer" may be, the hardware doesnt support linux, and there may not be a "fix" that ati has provided, or that the open linux/ubuntu teams can provide | 19:25 |
| holstein | innocent: what i usualy do is, just fire up as many live distros as i can.. not "ubuntu vs xubuntu" for example, but, 14.04 vs 12.04.. different kernels, and different driver versions | 19:25 |
| holstein | there is an xorg ppa.. likely a few others as well. that provide different versions of drivers.. | 19:26 |
| holstein | i would do my testing with *only* the internal display.. and i like using arandr as the GUI configuration tool when i start experiementing with dual head | 19:26 |
| innocent | Hardware not supporting linux , somehow , feels like a big surprise .Specially if you consider that this is a new laptop :/ I have already started checking other distros but i would really love to solve this ;D I ll check about the xorg ppa .Thank you holstein ! | 19:29 |
| arun_ | hi guys, when will the xfce 4.12 for Ubuntu get relased ? | 23:05 |
| holstein | arun_: ubuntu is not a rolling release.. | 23:06 |
| arun_ | holstein: I do know that. | 23:06 |
| arun_ | holstein: I was thinking of some PPA stuffs | 23:07 |
| knome | arun_, 4.12 will be in vivid. | 23:07 |
| arun_ | knome: ok thanks. but I hope it will also support trusty .. | 23:07 |
| holstein | http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.12/roadmap | 23:07 |
| holstein | you can also research a ppa if you like https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12 | 23:08 |
| knome | components will be backported if they provide security patches, otherwise, don't expect a backport of everything | 23:08 |
| arun_ | knome: thanks. | 23:08 |
| xubuntu18o | Hi, I am new to Xubuntu. Just installed Xubuntu 10.04 LTS on my laptop. What is the best way to enable filesharing on xubuntu | 23:14 |
| elfy | ummm | 23:14 |
| xubuntu18o | Xubuntu and OSX | 23:14 |
| elfy | what I would do is first get something that's not only supported as a server edition :) | 23:14 |
| elfy | 10.04 desktop is EOL | 23:15 |
| xubuntu18o | 14.04 | 23:15 |
| xubuntu18o | ha! sorry | 23:15 |
| elfy | ok :) | 23:15 |
| holstein | also, "filesharing" between what? exactly.. if its just sharing files between xubuntu and OSX dual booting, you can mount the drive and share what you like | 23:15 |
| elfy | not that I can actually help with that :) | 23:16 |
| xubuntu18o | I have some files on my mac that I want to send to my laptop | 23:16 |
| xubuntu16w | quick question. I have a bootable usb with 14.04.1 and want to install on my mom's pc. will it be able to upgrade to 14.04.2 or should I write that new iso to the USB before installing | 23:17 |
| xubuntu16w | don't want to waste an hour downloading the newer iso and writing it unless i need to | 23:17 |
| knome | xubuntu16w, once you upgrade all packages, you are essentially at 14.04.2 | 23:18 |
| xubuntu16w | thanks knome | 23:18 |
| knome | np, enjoy | 23:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu18o: the way i did that was, ftp server, and client.. since i was behind my firewall.. but, dropbox works both places.. as well as other software solutions | 23:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu18o: samba would work both places.. i think it depends on how persistent you want it to be.. how persistent and easy.. | 23:19 |
| xubuntu18o | ok, no simple menu point and click that I just missed. | 23:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu18o: i use gigolo.. though, in the menu on the mac, i created a share that the linux machine could easily join | 23:20 |
| holstein | theres no "see your mac" button.. | 23:20 |
| xubuntu18o | if I run the command shares-admin, it gives me window for filesharing but it fails to install services (SMB and NFS) | 23:22 |
| xubuntu96w | I'm having issues with my microphone crackling on Xubuntu 14.04, any suggestions? | 23:32 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: can you share the noise in any way? do you know what i mean by "clipping"? when is it making a sound? | 23:33 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein: Only when I talk to other people | 23:40 |
| xubuntu96w | Only they can hear it, when I record and playback, I hear the sound myself | 23:40 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: sure.. can you share it? do you know what i mean by clipping? | 23:40 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein: No | 23:41 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: try just simply turning the mic down | 23:41 |
| xubuntu96w | I did that | 23:42 |
| xubuntu96w | I turned it to 34% and people still hear it | 23:42 |
| xubuntu96w | I can't think of a way to capture the sound | 23:43 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein: Let me call the Skype Test Call bot and record it | 23:44 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: skype can also be set to manual, so its notadjusting your mic settings | 23:44 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein: I turned off auto adjust | 23:51 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: i would not use *only* skype for this test.. | 23:52 |
| xubuntu96w | What else should I use to record | 23:52 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: i would use something simple like audacity | 23:53 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: but, dont over think it, and add new issues into your situation.. just try and isolate and test | 23:53 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: you could have an issue specific to skype.. and not with the hardware at all | 23:54 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein: Recording with audacity shows that my mic speed is like three times the normal speed | 23:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: ? | 23:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: you mean, your voice is higher? | 23:58 |
| holstein | xubuntu96w: the mic has no "speed".. | 23:59 |
| xubuntu96w | When I play it back, the audio plays really fast | 23:59 |
| xubuntu96w | holstein | 23:59 |
