=== xangua1 is now known as xangua [00:31] * zcm is installing Xubuntu on a Chromebook [01:56] does anyone know how i can create a bootable usb on xubuntu besides unetbootin? [01:56] I say besides unetbootin because arch linux doesn't really work well with arch based distros [01:57] You can use dd. [01:59] what is dd? [02:00] !dd [07:55] hi guys [07:55] i need a small help [07:55] can you upload /usr/share/themes/Greybird/ greybird theme to a site for me ? [07:56] i changed my icons so i need it [07:57] xubuntu27w: sry i don't understand, why do you need that? [07:58] 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] if you just want the theme and are not using xubuntu, you can grab the theme from github [08:17] thank you ochosi [08:18] good bye all [08:21] ochosi [08:21] i did what did you want [08:21] and now [08:22] up windowframe of thunar color is blue [08:22] i want it to be gray [08:22] how can ı change [08:23] you likely have to change your window manager theme [08:23] settings > window manager > set the theme to greybird [08:26] i thank you [08:27] now [08:27] there is a problem :( [08:28] titlebar is too close to menus [08:28] i'm sorry, i don't really understand what you're saying there [08:30] xubuntu74w: I believe if you change the window title size the titlebar gets bigger [08:30] It's been a while since I used Xfwm. [08:32] anyway [08:32] i thank you [08:32] i fixed big issue [08:32] Good. [08:32] may be updates can change this [08:32] good bye all [08:33] well no, the theme is designed to be like that [08:57] hello xubuntu room,what is a simple command to locate a specific file please [08:57] try "find" or "locate" [09:27] greetings [09:32] I'm trying to upgrade a 14.04 to xfce 4.12 and not having much luck with the ppa [09:33] 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] any tricks for upgrading properly? [09:34] tga, the ppa is the best you can get. [09:34] tga, if you want anything better than that, you have to build it all yourself [09:34] thing is, I don't notice any change at all [09:34] as far as I can tell I'm still running 4.10 [09:37] how to change name? [09:37] xubuntu40w, what name? [09:37] xubuntu40w ---> kiaph [09:38] /nick newnick === xubuntu40w is now known as kiaph [09:38] knome: is there any easy way of telling which version of xfwm I'm running? [09:38] glad newnick was in use [09:38] does it show up in an about dialog somewhere? [09:39] tga, 'apt-cache policy xfwm4' tells you the package version [09:40] hmm maybe I should just restart, I just did a logoff after upgrade [09:42] so [09:43] 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? [09:44] knome: are window previews on alt tab enabled by default in 4.12? [09:46] tga: 14.04 already installs many components of Xfce 4.11 (the development release), so you may not notice many changes [09:47] should i just get beta 2? [09:47] it seems pretty stable [09:47] will beta 2 update to finish product for me? [09:47] well I'm looking at the new features of 4.12 and I can't see any of them [09:47] kiaph: it's worth a try, and yes, it will update to the final version [09:48] tga: window previews can be enabled in settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab [09:49] hmm you may be right that I've been using 4.11 the new features [09:49] + no compositor here [09:50] you think 15 will be able to use bumblebeeed /nvidia prime [09:50] a-ha, that was it, no display compositing = no pretty features [09:50] my gtx555m prettymuch needs it [09:50] :D [09:50] then I only have to enable xfdashboard [09:50] kiaph: well, you have to try and see if it works fine for you [09:51] i know was trying to find a postinstall guild to optimze getting nividiaprime / hybrid settings working [09:51] but it doesn't seem to exsist [09:53] mmkay, xfdashboard is kinda wonky and just crashed [09:53] I think I'll stick with the applauncher [09:54] kiaph: if you have a specific question about hardware/drivers, maybe you should ask in #ubuntu [09:55] * tga grumbles at no package for faenza [10:40] 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? [10:44] wolfdog, /usr/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes/ [10:46] 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 [12:25] him I need Help, how can I switch to azerty keyboard? === DReynolds is now known as drunkendwarf [14:59] hi all [14:59] can I ask a question_ [14:59] ? [14:59] xubuntu44w: no one will stop you.. just ask, and a volunteer may assist.. [15:01] how can I install new fonts in xubuntu? [15:01] I mean windows fonts [15:02] 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] if you have the .ttf file this post goes through it quite simply http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797173 [15:02] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Microsoft_Fonts [15:02] xubuntu44w: i wouldnt assume your inconsistency is a font issue.. [15:03] What holstein linked to is much better than what I said ..... [15:03] 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] can I do this istruction on xubuntu too? [15:03] not just ubuntu? [15:03] xubuntu44w: xubuntu *is* ubuntu [15:04] ok thank you [15:04] I'm learing! [15:04] or at least trying to [15:04] aye. Ubuntu with a nicer skin :) [15:04] the restricted extras meta-package will contain those fonts, as well as a lot of other things [15:04] yes couse my pc isn't so fast [15:05] !info ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:05] 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] I can't remember if I already did this [15:05] anyway I'll try [15:05] !info ttf-mscorefonts-installer [15:05] 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 [15:06] and I have another issue [15:06] xubuntu44w: you can use the package manager of your choice to see if you have that package installed.. [15:06] when I use libreoffice for opening exel files I have like visual issues [15:06] I can see lines where they are not present [15:06] xubuntu44w: sure.. when you create a file in a completely different application, you can have issues [15:07] and when I resize the windows those lines go away [15:07] sounds like a work-around [15:07] 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 [15:08] I think it's more like a graphic card issue [15:08] i would create a file similar to the one you are having issues with in libreoffice, and test [15:08] ok I understand [15:08] 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] ok I have to try [15:09] I have a lot of files created under windows [15:09] so often I need to check them and read them [15:10] 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] 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.. [15:11] generally, libreoffice does a great job with opening docs.. there are online options as well.. google docs, and office online [15:13] I understand [15:13] I'll try for first the fonts thing [15:14] also, saving on the other end, compatible with older versions of word [15:14] and see if I can solve the problem [15:14] 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] get all of your docs to the open format [15:14] open is a format? [15:15] and then can I open *open with excel? [15:15] the format default to libreoffice is open [15:15] the open format, can be odt etc [15:15] you can run libreoffice on windows [15:15] oh ok [15:15] that's true [15:16] and if I want to reinstall xubuntu [15:16] cause I have an old version [15:16] it's better xubuntu or lubuntu? [15:16] you asking in the xubuntu channel [15:16] "better" is a matter of opinion [15:16] what answer you expect? [15:17] that is a pc with a pentium 4 3 Ghz [15:17] thats basically lxde vs xfce.. and thats up to yoyu [15:17] and 1 gb of ram [15:17] xubuntu44w: no software makes your hardware faster or better.. it can make "better" use of resources [15:17] yes from the resources view [15:18] 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] they are *all* ubuntu flavors.. [15:18] ok [15:18] first of all I need to know if I have graphics card issue [15:18] you can install lxde into xubuntu and have them both, and choose between lxde or xfce [15:18] cause xubuntu was asking me like for proprietary driver [15:19] xubuntu44w: you can try the proprietary driver [15:19] and it keeps loading I don't know what [15:19] xubuntu44w: xubuntu was offering to install one [15:19] yes I installed it [15:19] ok.. so, you can *not* do that next time, and see if the performance is "better" [15:19] but I have the same issue when opening sheets [15:19] see if the open driver meets your needs, and has less artifacts [15:20] ok I'll do this [15:20] you can test this with a live iso [15:20] yes [15:20] ty holstein you helped me a lot [15:20] 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 [15:21] kernel versions.. drivers.. etc [15:21] cause I am an all doing on pc but not an axpert one with linux generally [15:21] 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"... [15:22] yes it could be [15:22] ok I'm going to do some tests [15:22] and I'll let you know [15:22] xubuntu44w: o/ [15:22] ty for now guys ;) [15:23] have a good day [15:33] 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. [15:50] 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. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang
