[00:10] <eikon81g> Just 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 later

[12:54] <stafi4> I 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.
[12:57] <knome> stafi4, PPA's aren't officially supported; report the problems to the PPA maintainer
[13:05] <stafi4> knome: 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.
[13:08] <knome> well if it works without the PPA but not with it, it's likely to be a bug in the PPA
[13:09] <stafi4> knome: thanks you helped me so much
[13:48] <Seven_Six_Two> most of the icons in my xfce menu are missing, and the appearances app doesn't change anything. ubuntu trusty
[13:49] <kahtahs> how did you install xfce?
[13:49] <Seven_Six_Two> using synaptic
[13:49] <knob> Hello everyone!
[13:51] <kahtahs> Seven_Six_Two: which package?
[13:52] <Seven_Six_Two> kahtahs, it was a while ago, but I looked, and the metapackage is installed
[13:52] <Seven_Six_Two> although I've also installed other stuff by hand
[14:05] <kahtahs> Seven_Six_Two: which meta-package? xfce4 or xubuntu-desktop?
[14:05] <Seven_Six_Two> xfce4
[14:06] <GridCube> well, there's your problem
[14:13] <Seven_Six_Two> interesting. Whatever was installed (it's fine now) should be included in the xfce metapackage.
[14:13] <Seven_Six_Two> thanks kahtahs and GridCube

I want use packer.io for this, but i have problems installing the openssh-server package from a preseed file. Here is the preseed file: http://pastebin.com/xHpAt1Nz . Someone know what is wrong?
[16:20] <jumapico> Hi all. I need help with a preseed file for build a virtualbox image for xubuntu desktop 14.04. Specifically the installer not install the package openssh-server. Here is the preseed file used: http://pastebin.com/xHpAt1Nz, any help is welcome!
[16:22] <jumapico> (sorry wrong channel)
[16:27] <knob> Started using Xubuntu yesterday for the first time... I like it a lot.   So far, I like it more than the stock Unity desktop (Window Manager?)
[16:36] <Orioa> yeah i do not like the unity desktop
[16:37] <Orioa> xfce is alot better
[16:39] <Orioa> wintousb
[16:39] <Orioa> whoops
[16:42] <knob> Orioa, yeah.   I installed it on a secondary laptop I had around... yet I think I will move my main laptop, and my workstation to it.
[16:43] <knob> Going to test some more days... and then move.
[16:46] <Orioa> kewl
[16:48] <Orioa> i think you will really like it
[16:48] <knob> so far, so good.
[16:49] <knob> Just googled some pages as to how to "move" ubuntu from Unity to xfce
[16:58] <Orioa> is there a way to auto generate a openbox menu
[16:59] <Orioa> i tried using openbox but when i did i had generic menu ..i really do not want to have to manually add every thing
[17:03] <vrkalak> Orioa, try > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox
[17:29] <longbonglungfish> Clickable 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 Pinta
[17:29] <longbonglungfish> and 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-type
[17:29] <longbonglungfish> associations up on my system, so I'm coming here to ask about solutions. I'm on Xubuntu 14.04 BTW. Many thanks in advance!

[17:30] <longbonglungfish> I have no idea what component I'd file this bug under :\

[17:36] <longbonglungfish> krytarik, thank-you! that's exactly what i'm experiencing!
[18:42] <pjotter1> Hi people. I'm looking for a really simple, flatlooking, no rounded edges, no fancy stuff theme for Xubuntu 14.04. Anyone any suggestions?
[18:44] <klopsi-u3> dark or light?
[18:44] <klopsi-u3> colorful or muted colors?
[18:52] <pjotter1> It must be as boring as possible. I think light will do fine. With greyish windows.
[19:00] <klopsi-u3> and the corners of windows must not be rounded?
[19:02] <pjotter1> As straight as possible
[19:03] <pjotter1> Maybe a few pixels rounded. But overall look must be square
[19:03] <klopsi-u3> that is exactly my default xfce theme on debian sid
[19:11] <pjotter1> what theme does debian use?
[19:48] <pjotter1> Hello eveybody. How can I use a xfwm4 theme in Xubuntu 14.04? Putting it in ~/.themes doesn't work.
[19:52] <klopsi-u3> i dont know but maybe in /usr/share/themes
[19:53] <pjotter1> It should work, I know. I'll try...
[20:02] <pjotter1> Ok, 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?
[20:42] <fuzbeez> hi! 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 work
[20:44] <fuzbeez> this occurred after an upgrade to new ubuntu via update (not a new install)
[20:44] <fuzbeez> any ideas?
