[02:08] 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! [03:45] phunyguy: phresh install of 14.04? 14.10? stock xubuntu 32bit? [03:46] holstein: fresh 14.04.2, looks like the entry in default applications settings is broken. [03:46] 64 bit [03:46] I added a new one with /usr/bin/firefox "%s" and that worked. [03:46] cool.. [03:47] I even created a new user on here and tested it... did the same thing. [03:47] sure.. might be a bug from somewhere [03:47] no doubt, that sort of thing isnt tested [03:47] yep [03:47] i consider it an unconfigured configuration ;) [05:30] I have a quick question I wondered if anyone could answer. [05:31] Is there a way to hide the icon in the default weather applet that comes with Xubuntu? === nodedfree is now known as `aa === desmond_ is now known as desmond\ === desmond\ is now known as desmond [10:36] hello guys, after last update of firefox on trusty I think there may be a bug [10:38] after clicking links on other programs such as thunderbird or liferea, firefox shows up but as new window with start page [10:38] michal__, that most likely https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11601 [10:38] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 11601 in Helpers "exo-open: firefox no longer supports -remote" [Normal,New] [10:39] yeah [10:39] thank you guys, I think I need to temporarily choose chromium as a default... [10:42] michal__, run "gvfs-mime –set x-scheme-handler/http firefox.desktop", restart the app and click a link [10:42] this may resolve the problem (maybe only temporary) [10:43] as much as I like Xfce, I'm afraid that the official fix will come after months or years :( [10:43] also, x-scheme-handler/https for https [10:44] nah, it will be fixed asap we get a patch [10:45] brainvvash, this commands affect only the file ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list ? [10:45] if assigning the mime type manually works (persistent), then there is at least a simple workaround/fix [10:46] michal__, I think so, yes [10:46] then I'll temper it manually [10:47] just tested it and it works here (xubuntu 15.04) [10:52] that only worked, when I chose firefox to open links in liferea preferences [10:53] at least I know what's wrong - more or less ;) [10:53] :D [11:37] !nvidia [11:37] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [11:39] System->Administration->Additional Drivers shows zero drivers available [11:40] actually it is Settings->Additional Drivers [11:41] sudo ubuntu-drivers devices returns nothing [11:43] linux-headers-3.13.0.45 already installed [11:55] trying apt-get install nvidia-331 [11:57] Building for 3.13.0-45-generic and 3.13.0-46-generic [11:59] rebooting [11:59] seeing 640x480 splash screen [12:03] glxinfo shows missing GLX extension [12:04] lsmod doesnt show any nvidia modules [12:06] maybe nvidia gtx 970 is too new? [12:07] klopsi-u3, I suggest that you ask in #ubuntu [12:10] ah i found a possible answer, apparently need nvidia-343 drivers [12:10] or 346 [12:19] hmm nvidia-346 seems to work! [12:24] yaay got nvidia drivers working [12:24] and they even report gpu temps [12:24] maybe we can update the !nvidia instructions? [12:45] ah the unigine Valley benchmark also runs on linux [12:51] very nice gpu test [12:58] https://unigine.com/products/valley [13:00] klopsi-u3, I'm glad that you got it sorted, but this is not the right place to share things like that [13:00] !ot [13:00] #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:01] ok sorry brainvvash will join offtopic [13:01] thanks [14:16] Hello! [14:21] hello [14:24] I can't find any 12.04.5 .torrent desktop files. Weren't they generated? [14:25] TopGear, check your settings. Where did you tell your client to store them. [14:26] cfhowlett, I just mean the .torrent files for the desktop version of Xubuntu 12.04.5 from cdimage.ubuntu.com. [14:27] TopGear, confirmed. highest version is 12.04.4 [14:28] The dailies are only the Alternates, AFAIK. Can I update 12.04.4 via apt-get dist-upgrade/update manager to 12.04.5? [14:30] TopGear, yes, dist-upgrade should jump you to 12.4.5 === GeekDude is now known as GibVent === G33kDude is now known as GibVent === GibVent is now known as GeekDude [17:09] is there a default disk partitioner for Xubuntu, or a prefered one? Just wanting to reformat some drives [17:10] brownfaux: i like gparted, when its doing what i need it to do.. which is most of the time [17:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted [17:10] gparted is the defacto standard partitioner [17:11] 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 [17:12] ill install that and go on as usual [17:19] Hello, is anyone there? [17:20] yes.. many are here. if you have a question, ask Oskar__ , and a volunteer may be able to assist.. welcome [17:22] 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? [17:23] 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 [17:24] alright holstein will do. Thanks a lot! === stijn_ is now known as stijndg [17:39] hello, i need some help please ... [17:40] xubuntu51w, ask; if somebody knows the answer, they'll most likely reply [17:41] here's my problem : i'm on xubuntu 14.10, and when I close my laptop's screen, my laptop goes hibernate [17:42] when it restart, i found the lock screen, i inser my password and then ... blackscreen [17:43] 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 [17:44] if I log like a guest, there is no problem... [17:44] can anyone help me ? [17:47] hmm [17:50] maybe it is a video driver problem xubuntu51w [17:51] i don't have a graphic card [17:52] You don't have a graphic card? [17:53] except the one on my laptop processor (intel i5) [17:55] can you switch to a virtual terminal and back to X to see if that restores your screen_ [17:55] ? [17:56] i dont even know if ubuntu supports consoles with ctrl-alt-f1, f2 etc [17:56] klopsi-u3: yes it does, tty on f1-f6 and X11 on f7 upwards [17:58] ok thanks I will try it [17:59] Guys, when XFCE 4.12 comes out, will it be upgraded automatically or should I do something to manually install it? [18:00] Hello.I m on a fresh 14.04 install .2 monitors and an ati r7 graphics card.On top of my laptops native screen there is a flashy pink line.Any guidance on related reading about how to fix it?Already tried all open and proprietary drivers with no luck.Thanks in advance! [18:07] Hi [18:07] I wonder how to install Xubuntu with Dual boot alongside Windows 7 [18:07] Can someone provide me with a video or instruction? [18:10] !dualboot | Sailoreal [18:10] Sailoreal: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [18:11] Is Xubuntu the best? I have 200GB HDD and 4GB RAM x64. I like modern and fast OS. [18:12] Sailoreal, you're asking the xubuntu channel, what kind of reply do you expect to that question? [18:13] i'm off, good luck with installation === Drone`` is now known as Drone` [19:23] 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! [19:25] 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] 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 [19:26] there is an xorg ppa.. likely a few others as well. that provide different versions of drivers.. [19:26] 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 [19:29] 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 ! [23:05] hi guys, when will the xfce 4.12 for Ubuntu get relased ? [23:06] arun_: ubuntu is not a rolling release.. [23:06] holstein: I do know that. [23:07] holstein: I was thinking of some PPA stuffs [23:07] arun_, 4.12 will be in vivid. [23:07] knome: ok thanks. but I hope it will also support trusty .. [23:07] http://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.12/roadmap [23:08] you can also research a ppa if you like https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12 [23:08] components will be backported if they provide security patches, otherwise, don't expect a backport of everything [23:08] knome: thanks. [23:14] 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] ummm [23:14] Xubuntu and OSX [23:14] what I would do is first get something that's not only supported as a server edition :) [23:15] 10.04 desktop is EOL [23:15] 14.04 [23:15] ha! sorry [23:15] ok :) [23:15] 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 [23:16] not that I can actually help with that :) [23:16] I have some files on my mac that I want to send to my laptop [23:17] 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] don't want to waste an hour downloading the newer iso and writing it unless i need to [23:18] xubuntu16w, once you upgrade all packages, you are essentially at 14.04.2 [23:18] thanks knome [23:18] np, enjoy [23:18] 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 [23:19] xubuntu18o: samba would work both places.. i think it depends on how persistent you want it to be.. how persistent and easy.. [23:19] ok, no simple menu point and click that I just missed. [23:20] xubuntu18o: i use gigolo.. though, in the menu on the mac, i created a share that the linux machine could easily join [23:20] theres no "see your mac" button.. [23:22] if I run the command shares-admin, it gives me window for filesharing but it fails to install services (SMB and NFS) [23:32] I'm having issues with my microphone crackling on Xubuntu 14.04, any suggestions? [23:33] xubuntu96w: can you share the noise in any way? do you know what i mean by "clipping"? when is it making a sound? [23:40] holstein: Only when I talk to other people [23:40] Only they can hear it, when I record and playback, I hear the sound myself [23:40] xubuntu96w: sure.. can you share it? do you know what i mean by clipping? [23:41] holstein: No [23:41] xubuntu96w: try just simply turning the mic down [23:42] I did that [23:42] I turned it to 34% and people still hear it [23:43] I can't think of a way to capture the sound [23:44] holstein: Let me call the Skype Test Call bot and record it [23:44] xubuntu96w: skype can also be set to manual, so its notadjusting your mic settings [23:51] holstein: I turned off auto adjust [23:52] xubuntu96w: i would not use *only* skype for this test.. [23:52] What else should I use to record [23:53] xubuntu96w: i would use something simple like audacity [23:53] xubuntu96w: but, dont over think it, and add new issues into your situation.. just try and isolate and test [23:54] xubuntu96w: you could have an issue specific to skype.. and not with the hardware at all [23:58] holstein: Recording with audacity shows that my mic speed is like three times the normal speed [23:58] xubuntu96w: ? [23:58] xubuntu96w: you mean, your voice is higher? [23:59] xubuntu96w: the mic has no "speed".. [23:59] When I play it back, the audio plays really fast [23:59] holstein
