| bobbishop | does anyone know how i can create a bootable usb on xubuntu besides unetbootin? | 01:56 |
|---|---|---|
| bobbishop | I say besides unetbootin because arch linux doesn't really work well with arch based distros | 01:56 |
| Unit193 | You can use dd. | 01:57 |
| bobbishop | what is dd? | 01:59 |
| holstein | !dd | 02:00 |
| xubuntu27w | hi guys | 07:55 |
| xubuntu27w | i need a small help | 07:55 |
| xubuntu27w | can you upload /usr/share/themes/Greybird/ greybird theme to a site for me ? | 07:55 |
| xubuntu27w | i changed my icons so i need it | 07:56 |
| ochosi | xubuntu27w: sry i don't understand, why do you need that? | 07:57 |
| ochosi | in case you deleted that folder, you can just do a "sudo apt-get install shimmer-themes --reinstall" and it'll be restored | 07:58 |
| ochosi | if you just want the theme and are not using xubuntu, you can grab the theme from github | 07:58 |
| xubuntu27w | thank you ochosi | 08:17 |
| xubuntu27w | good bye all | 08:18 |
| xubuntu74w | ochosi | 08:21 |
| xubuntu74w | i did what did you want | 08:21 |
| xubuntu74w | and now | 08:21 |
| xubuntu74w | up windowframe of thunar color is blue | 08:22 |
| xubuntu74w | i want it to be gray | 08:22 |
| xubuntu74w | how can ı change | 08:22 |
| ochosi | you likely have to change your window manager theme | 08:23 |
| ochosi | settings > window manager > set the theme to greybird | 08:23 |
| xubuntu74w | i thank you | 08:26 |
| xubuntu74w | now | 08:27 |
| xubuntu74w | there is a problem :( | 08:27 |
| xubuntu74w | titlebar is too close to menus | 08:28 |
| ochosi | i'm sorry, i don't really understand what you're saying there | 08:28 |
| Hund | xubuntu74w: I believe if you change the window title size the titlebar gets bigger | 08:30 |
| Hund | It's been a while since I used Xfwm. | 08:30 |
| xubuntu74w | anyway | 08:32 |
| xubuntu74w | i thank you | 08:32 |
| xubuntu74w | i fixed big issue | 08:32 |
| Hund | Good. | 08:32 |
| xubuntu74w | may be updates can change this | 08:32 |
| xubuntu74w | good bye all | 08:32 |
| knome | well no, the theme is designed to be like that | 08:33 |
| xubuntu23w | hello xubuntu room,what is a simple command to locate a specific file please | 08:57 |
| ochosi | try "find" or "locate" | 08:57 |
| tga | greetings | 09:27 |
| tga | I'm trying to upgrade a 14.04 to xfce 4.12 and not having much luck with the ppa | 09:32 |
| tga | a bunch of packages are getting updated, but as far as I can tell I'm not getting any new 4.12 features | 09:33 |
| tga | any tricks for upgrading properly? | 09:33 |
| knome | tga, the ppa is the best you can get. | 09:34 |
| knome | tga, if you want anything better than that, you have to build it all yourself | 09:34 |
| tga | thing is, I don't notice any change at all | 09:34 |
| tga | as far as I can tell I'm still running 4.10 | 09:34 |
| xubuntu40w | how to change name? | 09:37 |
| knome | xubuntu40w, what name? | 09:37 |
| xubuntu40w | xubuntu40w ---> kiaph | 09:37 |
| knome | /nick newnick | 09:38 |
| === xubuntu40w is now known as kiaph | ||
| tga | knome: is there any easy way of telling which version of xfwm I'm running? | 09:38 |
| kiaph | glad newnick was in use | 09:38 |
| tga | does it show up in an about dialog somewhere? | 09:38 |
| knome | tga, 'apt-cache policy xfwm4' tells you the package version | 09:39 |
| tga | hmm maybe I should just restart, I just did a logoff after upgrade | 09:40 |
| kiaph | so | 09:42 |
| kiaph | I have to clean install , I have an alienware m14x , 5 year old laptop (optimus) , xubuntu 14 , what is best order of commands following reinstall to get nvidia card working? | 09:43 |
| tga | knome: are window previews on alt tab enabled by default in 4.12? | 09:44 |
| brainwash | tga: 14.04 already installs many components of Xfce 4.11 (the development release), so you may not notice many changes | 09:46 |
| kiaph | should i just get beta 2? | 09:47 |
| kiaph | it seems pretty stable | 09:47 |
| kiaph | will beta 2 update to finish product for me? | 09:47 |
| tga | well I'm looking at the new features of 4.12 and I can't see any of them | 09:47 |
| brainwash | kiaph: it's worth a try, and yes, it will update to the final version | 09:47 |
| brainwash | tga: window previews can be enabled in settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab | 09:48 |
| tga | hmm you may be right that I've been using 4.11 the new features | 09:49 |
| tga | + no compositor here | 09:49 |
| kiaph | you think 15 will be able to use bumblebeeed /nvidia prime | 09:50 |
| tga | a-ha, that was it, no display compositing = no pretty features | 09:50 |
| kiaph | my gtx555m prettymuch needs it | 09:50 |
| brainwash | :D | 09:50 |
| tga | then I only have to enable xfdashboard | 09:50 |
| brainwash | kiaph: well, you have to try and see if it works fine for you | 09:50 |
| kiaph | i know was trying to find a postinstall guild to optimze getting nividiaprime / hybrid settings working | 09:51 |
| kiaph | but it doesn't seem to exsist | 09:51 |
| tga | mmkay, xfdashboard is kinda wonky and just crashed | 09:53 |
| tga | I think I'll stick with the applauncher | 09:53 |
| brainwash | kiaph: if you have a specific question about hardware/drivers, maybe you should ask in #ubuntu | 09:54 |
| * tga grumbles at no package for faenza | 09:55 | |
| wolfdog | Hi all, this is probably a silly tiny question. .. In the settings for xfce4-terminal theres a list of color palette presets. Where are these stored and can I add more files to it? | 10:40 |
| knome | wolfdog, /usr/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/ | 10:44 |
| wolfdog | knome: brilliant, found them. thankyou very much :) after some googling i was hunting through the terminal.rc, found the default declaration but none of the options | 10:46 |
| guest-nfDzwr | him I need Help, how can I switch to azerty keyboard? | 12:25 |

| xubuntu44w | hi all | 14:59 |
| xubuntu44w | can I ask a question_ | 14:59 |
| xubuntu44w | ? | 14:59 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: no one will stop you.. just ask, and a volunteer may assist.. | 14:59 |
| xubuntu44w | how can I install new fonts in xubuntu? | 15:01 |
| xubuntu44w | I mean windows fonts | 15:01 |
| xubuntu44w | I tried but I have some issue becouse everytime I open a file created with microsoft word, for example, I have text changed | 15:02 |
| DrunkenDwarf | if you have the .ttf file this post goes through it quite simply http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797173 | 15:02 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Microsoft_Fonts | 15:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: i wouldnt assume your inconsistency is a font issue.. | 15:02 |
| DrunkenDwarf | What holstein linked to is much better than what I said ..... | 15:03 |
| holstein | if you are opening a .doc in libreoffic, for example.. you may want to try saving it differently in word, or ask for a more open option, if installing the fonts doesnt address the issue | 15:03 |
| xubuntu44w | can I do this istruction on xubuntu too? | 15:03 |
| xubuntu44w | not just ubuntu? | 15:03 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: xubuntu *is* ubuntu | 15:03 |
| xubuntu44w | ok thank you | 15:04 |
| xubuntu44w | I'm learing! | 15:04 |
| xubuntu44w | or at least trying to | 15:04 |
| DrunkenDwarf | aye. Ubuntu with a nicer skin :) | 15:04 |
| holstein | the restricted extras meta-package will contain those fonts, as well as a lot of other things | 15:04 |
| xubuntu44w | yes couse my pc isn't so fast | 15:04 |
| holstein | !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:05 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-restricted-extras (source: ubuntu-restricted-extras): Commonly used media codecs and fonts for Ubuntu. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 61 (utopic), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB | 15:05 |
| xubuntu44w | I can't remember if I already did this | 15:05 |
| xubuntu44w | anyway I'll try | 15:05 |
| holstein | !info ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 15:05 |
| ubottu | ttf-mscorefonts-installer (source: msttcorefonts): Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (utopic), package size 28 kB, installed size 131 kB | 15:05 |
| xubuntu44w | and I have another issue | 15:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: you can use the package manager of your choice to see if you have that package installed.. | 15:06 |
| xubuntu44w | when I use libreoffice for opening exel files I have like visual issues | 15:06 |
| xubuntu44w | I can see lines where they are not present | 15:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: sure.. when you create a file in a completely different application, you can have issues | 15:06 |
| xubuntu44w | and when I resize the windows those lines go away | 15:07 |
| holstein | sounds like a work-around | 15:07 |
| DrunkenDwarf | libre office is good and comes with xubuntu, but there are always others you can try too... I've found open office good when working with windows docs | 15:07 |
| xubuntu44w | I think it's more like a graphic card issue | 15:08 |
| holstein | i would create a file similar to the one you are having issues with in libreoffice, and test | 15:08 |
| xubuntu44w | ok I understand | 15:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: sure, then test that, and isolate.. take a live iso to another machine with a different GPU and take the file.. open it, and see | 15:08 |
| xubuntu44w | ok I have to try | 15:08 |
| xubuntu44w | I have a lot of files created under windows | 15:09 |
| xubuntu44w | so often I need to check them and read them | 15:09 |
| holstein | sure.. but, you will really be setting yourself up for failure to expect all of that to just automatically translate to another os with different software | 15:10 |
| holstein | all of linux and ubuntu/xubuntu are open. if someone like microsoft wanted to make sure that all the products they create were compatible with it, they can.. | 15:10 |
| holstein | generally, libreoffice does a great job with opening docs.. there are online options as well.. google docs, and office online | 15:11 |
| xubuntu44w | I understand | 15:13 |
| xubuntu44w | I'll try for first the fonts thing | 15:13 |
| holstein | also, saving on the other end, compatible with older versions of word | 15:14 |
| xubuntu44w | and see if I can solve the problem | 15:14 |
| holstein | or, just wait til you have to deal with the document, and format it, in libreoffice, if needed, and save it in open format | 15:14 |
| holstein | get all of your docs to the open format | 15:14 |
| xubuntu44w | open is a format? | 15:14 |
| xubuntu44w | and then can I open *open with excel? | 15:15 |
| holstein | the format default to libreoffice is open | 15:15 |
| GridCube | the open format, can be odt etc | 15:15 |
| holstein | you can run libreoffice on windows | 15:15 |
| xubuntu44w | oh ok | 15:15 |
| xubuntu44w | that's true | 15:15 |
| xubuntu44w | and if I want to reinstall xubuntu | 15:16 |
| xubuntu44w | cause I have an old version | 15:16 |
| xubuntu44w | it's better xubuntu or lubuntu? | 15:16 |
| GridCube | you asking in the xubuntu channel | 15:16 |
| holstein | "better" is a matter of opinion | 15:16 |
| GridCube | what answer you expect? | 15:16 |
| xubuntu44w | that is a pc with a pentium 4 3 Ghz | 15:17 |
| holstein | thats basically lxde vs xfce.. and thats up to yoyu | 15:17 |
| xubuntu44w | and 1 gb of ram | 15:17 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: no software makes your hardware faster or better.. it can make "better" use of resources | 15:17 |
| xubuntu44w | yes from the resources view | 15:17 |
| holstein | you can try lubuntu and xubuntu live, and see what meets your needs.. i think most find lxde lighter, but, maybe too light out of the box for what they need | 15:18 |
| holstein | they are *all* ubuntu flavors.. | 15:18 |
| xubuntu44w | ok | 15:18 |
| xubuntu44w | first of all I need to know if I have graphics card issue | 15:18 |
| holstein | you can install lxde into xubuntu and have them both, and choose between lxde or xfce | 15:18 |
| xubuntu44w | cause xubuntu was asking me like for proprietary driver | 15:18 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: you can try the proprietary driver | 15:19 |
| xubuntu44w | and it keeps loading I don't know what | 15:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: xubuntu was offering to install one | 15:19 |
| xubuntu44w | yes I installed it | 15:19 |
| holstein | ok.. so, you can *not* do that next time, and see if the performance is "better" | 15:19 |
| xubuntu44w | but I have the same issue when opening sheets | 15:19 |
| holstein | see if the open driver meets your needs, and has less artifacts | 15:19 |
| xubuntu44w | ok I'll do this | 15:20 |
| holstein | you can test this with a live iso | 15:20 |
| xubuntu44w | yes | 15:20 |
| xubuntu44w | ty holstein you helped me a lot | 15:20 |
| holstein | what i typically do when migrating a new (new to me) machine to linux is, i'll just run a lot of different live iso's, and see what supports what.. see what versions are running | 15:20 |
| holstein | kernel versions.. drivers.. etc | 15:21 |
| xubuntu44w | cause I am an all doing on pc but not an axpert one with linux generally | 15:21 |
| holstein | at this point, i would be trying the 15.04 live version as well.. since it would be a newer kernel.. though, on an older machine, and older kernel may be "better"... | 15:21 |
| xubuntu44w | yes it could be | 15:22 |
| xubuntu44w | ok I'm going to do some tests | 15:22 |
| xubuntu44w | and I'll let you know | 15:22 |
| holstein | xubuntu44w: o/ | 15:22 |
| xubuntu44w | ty for now guys ;) | 15:22 |
| xubuntu44w | have a good day | 15:23 |
| DrunkenDwarf | has anyone noticed that when you snap xfce4-terminal to half the screen, it doesn't actually fill it, leaves an annoying border round it. | 15:33 |
| jarnos | I have several guest sessions running in 14.04. How can I log then out? It seem like I always create a new session when I log into a guest session. | 15:50 |
