eikon81gJust poppin in to see what's up.. I got my bluetooth speaker working the other night and after I rebooted it no longer appears in my sound settings under output devices after being paired. It does still pair and I think it would work fine if I could get the sound settings changed to output to it.. I will mess with it later00:10

stafi4I installed an Nvidia driver from xorg-edgers and after a reboot the lightm starts but shows nothing. I must remove the prop driver and get back to nouveau to resolve the problem. But, I want the prop driver because I have the Nvidia optimus.12:54
knomestafi4, PPA's aren't officially supported; report the problems to the PPA maintainer12:57
stafi4knome: I don't think it's a bug or something, just a wrong manipulation by me. That's why I came here to be helped.13:05
knomewell if it works without the PPA but not with it, it's likely to be a bug in the PPA13:08
stafi4knome: thanks you helped me so much13:09

longbonglungfishClickable links in the "About" dialogues of certain applications, do not function correctly. They launch / activate my default web browser (Firefox), but do not load the URL. They simply open a Firefox window with the start page, and that's it. For instance, if I open up Thunar or Mousepad, and navigate to "Help" > "About", then click the link in the "About" window, firefox opens the URL. On the other hand, if I open up Pinta17:29
longbonglungfishand navigate to "Help" > "Pinta Website", or VirtualBox and navigate to "Help" > "VirtualBox Website", a new Firefox window will open up, but it will only display the start page. This problem occurs in other applications too, like Synaptic (when clicking the "Visit Homepage" link under application descriptions, or gMusicBrowser, when clicking the link displayed in "Settings" > "About". I don't want to screw any mime/file-type17:29
longbonglungfishassociations up on my system, so I'm coming here to ask about solutions. I'm on Xubuntu 14.04 BTW. Many thanks in advance!17:29

pjotter1Hi people. I'm looking for a really simple, flatlooking, no rounded edges, no fancy stuff theme for Xubuntu 14.04. Anyone any suggestions?18:42
klopsi-u3dark or light?18:44
klopsi-u3colorful or muted colors?18:44
pjotter1It must be as boring as possible. I think light will do fine. With greyish windows.18:52
klopsi-u3and the corners of windows must not be rounded?19:00
pjotter1As straight as possible19:02
pjotter1Maybe a few pixels rounded. But overall look must be square19:03
klopsi-u3that is exactly my default xfce theme on debian sid19:03
pjotter1what theme does debian use?19:11
pjotter1Hello eveybody. How can I use a xfwm4 theme in Xubuntu 14.04? Putting it in ~/.themes doesn't work.19:48
klopsi-u3i dont know but maybe in /usr/share/themes19:52
pjotter1It should work, I know. I'll try...19:53
pjotter1Ok, I got it now :). One thing. In many themes, the scrollbar of fullscreened firefox still has a border around it. When you move the mouse to the scrollbar to move it, you must position it just a little to the left of the rightside screen to make it work. Anyone any ideas how to fix this so that clicking on the rightside pixel will also work?20:02
fuzbeezhi! I have a small problem with kb shortcuts; if set via window manager settings, they work, but when set via keyboard settings -> application shortcuts they don't work20:42
fuzbeezthis occurred after an upgrade to new ubuntu via update (not a new install)20:44
fuzbeezany ideas?20:44
