| AndroidKris | Question, Is there any way to make apt-get act like say...uTorrent? Pulling from multiple mirrors? | 01:38 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | ...Bye. | 01:39 |
| Unit193 | AndroidKris: Maybe look into apt-p2p or mirror:// urls? | 01:41 |
| AndroidKris | Are you asking me a question with that last part? the "urls ?" part. | 01:41 |
| AndroidKris | Not sure I am reading it correctly. | 01:42 |
| Unit193 | That is to say, perhaps you should try looking into both of those methods. | 01:43 |
| AndroidKris | ah, "mirror://url" | 01:44 |
| AndroidKris | as a method of it's own? | 01:44 |
| Unit193 | deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/US.txt trusty main restricted universe multiverse for example | 01:45 |
| AndroidKris | ah, gotcha. | 01:47 |
| AndroidKris | Thanks for the tips...Off to see my old friend Google. | 01:48 |
| Unit193 | :D | 01:50 |
| AndroidKris | love me some packages.debian.org too. | 01:53 |
| Unit193 | Don't mix Debian and Ubuntu repos. | 01:53 |
| AndroidKris | Of course not. | 01:53 |
| AndroidKris | Repos, may be different, but a lot of the packages are the same. | 01:54 |
| AndroidKris | dang crappy connection | 02:00 |
| AndroidKris | See why I'm looking for something to help with my apt-get? I've got a weeks worth of updates to install...can't be done with this equipment. | 02:02 |
| Unit193 | Another question, got another location you can download updates from? | 02:02 |
| Unit193 | http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/offline-packages.html | 02:03 |
| AndroidKris | not at the moment. | 02:03 |
| AndroidKris | I have a sattelite internet connection that gets throttled during the day. Between midnight and 5am, I have up to 12mbps down speeds though, and can normally get apt to work fine. However, my problem is, I don't want to stay up that late all the time to check for updates and such. | 02:05 |
| AndroidKris | I'm wondering if there is a way I can set apt to download normal updates on a schedule without needing my input. | 02:06 |
| nicky1 | I installed xunbuntu 15.04, but the network manager icon doesn't show the secure icon when connected to a vpn. anyway to fix this? thanks | 02:16 |
| Eight-BitLink | Hey all, quick nitpick question | 03:38 |
| Eight-BitLink | I'm missing the minimize and maximize buttons in GTK-window-decorator. They vanished after the update to 15.04. Any ideas? My laptop still runs 14.10, with the same theme. | 03:39 |
| Unit193 | Eight-BitLink: Look in xfwm4-settings and see what's there? | 03:40 |
| Unit193 | They're there for me of course. | 03:40 |
| Eight-BitLink | Alright, that's weird. | 03:42 |
| Eight-BitLink | Using xfwm4 --replace to disable compiz temporarily, and setting the theme for xfwm4 to the same theme fixed it. | 03:43 |
| Eight-BitLink | Thanks for the suggestion! | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 03:45 |
| Eight-BitLink | Been banging my head against a wall looking for a solution. | 03:45 |
| Unit193 | Also, for basic compositing, compton? | 03:45 |
| ensi | hello, what is/are the xubuntu14 theme(s) that is/are installed out of the box? | 04:01 |
| Unit193 | Generally speaking, shimmer themes. Specific, Greybird, Numix, etc. | 04:02 |
| ensi | are those for xfce or just gtk? | 04:03 |
| Unit193 | xfwm+gtk2/gtk3. | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | unity and metacity too it seems. | 04:04 |
| ensi | thanks! | 04:08 |
| pragomer | how can I change that xubuntu always shows isolinux/syslinux menu (with that I have to press "esc") | 05:53 |
| LeMike | Hello. I got the nvidia-common driver successfully installed but there is still a white screen everytime after I lock the screen. This occurs even when only one monitor is connected. I remember some alternative session manager of lock screen in xubuntu but don't remember the name. Can you help me here? | 07:39 |
| LeMike | (currently it is xflock4) | 07:39 |
| ensi | LeMike: whats the real question, you want to lock the screen or what? | 07:41 |
| Unit193 | light-locker? | 07:42 |
| ensi | xscreensaver can lock the screen too | 07:43 |
| LeMike | Thanks ensi and Unit193 . I tried both of them but neither terminal nor keyboard shortcut activates them. Just running somewhere in the background but not actually locking the screen. dunno what went wrong here. | 07:57 |

| kraczk | hey guys, what's the default display manager in 15.04? | 13:18 |
| brainwash | kraczk: it's still lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter | 13:19 |
| brainwash | lightdm-gtk-greeter is responsible for the visual appearance | 13:20 |
| kraczk | brainwash: thanks man, is there any way to configure it? dpkg-reconfigure doesn't seem to do anything | 13:20 |
| brainwash | there should be a new entry in the settings manager to configure it | 13:21 |
| brainwash | or, what do you want to configure? change to another DM? | 13:21 |
| kraczk | for now not, maybe just change the appearance | 13:22 |
| ochosi | kraczk: that's lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings then. you might have to install it | 13:26 |
| brainwash | it's not installed by default? | 13:27 |
| kraczk | looks like it is, thanks for your help :) | 13:28 |

| oiu | Have I messed something up or does the main VirtualBox window in Xubuntu 15.04 have an ugly white line at the top of it? Is it a theme issue? | 13:55 |
| bosnjak | since I can't make light-locker not lock my screen after 10 minutes (a known issue), and the music stops playing when it locks the screen, is it a good idea to remove it completely and install xscreensaver? Can this have some consequences that I'm unaware of now? | 14:11 |
| brainwash | bosnjak: please read http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ | 15:02 |
| bosnjak | brainwash: great, thanks! I'll switch to xscreensaver for multiple reasons then. Is it enought to: apt-get remove --purge light-locker && apt-get install xscreensaver | 15:08 |
| brainwash | should be enough | 15:09 |
| bosnjak | brainwash: thanks :) | 15:09 |
| Christopher-Were | Hi, I was hoping someone could help me. I'm running Audacity 2.0.6 on Xubuntu 15.05 and the playback is very fast and distoreted. Can anybody help please? | 15:18 |
| Christopher-Were | Is anybody even here? | 15:21 |
| bynarie | hm i use audacity, but havent had any problem | 15:22 |
| Christopher-Were | surely you must know if it. I've had it for the last 3 xubuntu upgrades | 15:23 |
| bynarie | and its only messing up on 15.04? | 15:24 |
| Christopher-Were | i meant the last 3 ubuntus | 15:25 |
| bynarie | but the problems only started on 15.o4 right? | 15:25 |
| === azeam_afk is now known as azeam | ||
| bynarie | you should probably update to the newest audacity | 15:27 |
| Christopher-Were | not quite. I'm gonna restart. See if that works. Thanks for helping though. | 15:27 |
| oiu | Sorry, I forgot to come back after rebooting. Does anyone else get an ugly white line at the top of VirtualBox in 15.04? Is it an issue with Greybird? | 15:54 |
| holstein | oiu: the issue is not present with another theme? | 16:15 |
| oiu | holstein: It looks odd with all themes, but I'm wondering if this is because all included themes are flawed (or because VirtualBox is flawed). | 16:17 |
| holstein | oiu: so, is the issue only presnt with the greybird theme? i think that answer will help you answer the quesitons you have, regarding, if its an issue with the greybird theme, or not | 16:18 |
| oiu | No, it's not. | 16:18 |
| oiu | Not present with just Greybird, I mean. | 16:18 |
| holstein | i would try live iso's in vbox.. see if its an issue with only xfce, xubuntu.. etc | 16:20 |
| oiu | Will do. | 16:20 |
| oiu | I know it's not present in Ubuntu with Unity because of the global menu bar thing. | 16:20 |
| holstein | i would try with and without compositing.. i would look at what graphics driver is in use.. i would try and apply the virtualbox guest additions, and make certain i am getting the GPU performance i want/need//expect | 16:20 |
| oiu | Okay, thank you! I'll give it all a go. | 16:21 |
| holstein | oiu: ubuntu, with unity, requires 3d.. so, that will have compositing.. could be, you dont have 3d setup as the VM or host is expecting needing | 16:21 |

| kulelu88 | Is there any way to better manage open windows in the bottom/top window manager? I have 2 screens open and after opening a number of programs, the bottom window manager gets cluttered | 16:54 |
| Luyin | kulelu88: what do you mean by "top/bottom" window manager? | 16:55 |
| kulelu88 | Luyin: I think the default (when installing xubuntu 14.04) is a top window/application manager. you know, that toolbar that tells you what programs are open | 16:56 |
| KW4HK | panel | 16:56 |
| kulelu88 | exactly! | 16:57 |
| kulelu88 | it's cluttered now. I always wished I could make each screen have its own panel manager. | 16:57 |
| Luyin | kulelu88: open the window button settings and enable "grouping: always" | 16:57 |
| Luyin | then uncheck "show windows from all workspaces" | 16:58 |
| kulelu88 | you are a legend Luyin !!!! | 16:59 |
| kulelu88 | I just unchecked show windows from all monitors and now each screen stores its own stuff! | 16:59 |
| Luyin | yw kulelu88 | 17:00 |
| Christopher-Were | Hi does anyone know how I can run a script file from Thunar in Xubuntu 15.04 without opening it in mousepad? | 18:16 |
| KW4HK | custom action? | 18:18 |
| Christopher-Were | what's custom action? | 18:19 |
| KW4HK | http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions | 18:20 |
| Christopher-Were | That sounds awefully complicated considering no other file manager has this problem | 18:21 |
| Christopher-Were | in a terminal i just do ./command | 18:23 |
| kulelu88 | why do you need to open it in mousepad? | 18:26 |
| Christopher-Were | I don't want to open it in mouspad, I want to execute the script | 18:26 |
| KW4HK | that's probably his default for .sh files. | 18:26 |
| Christopher-Were | yes, it probably is the default for .sh, how can i change the default so that it runs the script | 18:27 |
| brainwash | Christopher-Were: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=b385bcf7c856fdc0a63b5f91a6d4053a7d22347e | 18:27 |
| kulelu88 | that's weird. ./run.sh should run and not open in mousepad | 18:27 |
| brainwash | please read the commit message | 18:27 |
| mrkramps | Christopher-Were, you need to change permission of script file | 18:28 |
| mrkramps | allow execution, or in terminal:$ chmod +x scriptfile | 18:28 |
| Christopher-Were | no easy way to do this without dropping into the terminal? | 18:29 |
| mrkramps | Christopher-Were, file properties | 18:29 |
| Christopher-Were | it gives an error message | 18:30 |
| kulelu88 | oh you want to run the script without terminal? yeah that will be possible also. Just make the .sh file executable | 18:30 |
| mrkramps | Christopher-Were, are you expecting us to guess the exact error message!? | 18:30 |
| kulelu88 | then right-click should give you the option to execute file | 18:31 |
| Christopher-Were | please don't be sarky. I'm trying to follow and instructions and rely them at the same time | 18:31 |
| Christopher-Were | The error says Cannot set permissions on symlinks. | 18:32 |
| Christopher-Were | Do you want to skip it? | 18:32 |
| mrkramps | ok, so you try to change the permission of a symbolic link | 18:32 |
| mrkramps | you need to change permission of the actual file | 18:32 |
| mrkramps | the file properties dialog should also show you which file a link points to | 18:33 |
| Christopher-Were | Yeah this is a problem with most of my portable apps | 18:38 |
| Christopher-Were | For some reason all my portable apps broke in an upgrade to 15.04 | 18:38 |
| kulelu88 | portable apps? | 18:41 |
| Christopher-Were | or portable binaries | 18:41 |
| kulelu88 | both 64-bit? | 18:42 |
| Christopher-Were | what? | 18:42 |
| kulelu88 | nvm | 18:42 |
| mrkramps | Christopher-Were, which app? | 18:42 |
| Christopher-Were | I got a copy of the latest Super Tux Cart which cam as a portable binary, I used to be able to run it on 14.10 and I can run it on Ubuntu MATE 15.04 but not on Xubuntu 15.04 | 18:43 |
| Christopher-Were | Sometimes they're also called static binaries | 18:44 |
| mrkramps | Christopher-Were, and it the problem on Xubuntu is you are not able to execute the start script? | 18:44 |
| Christopher-Were | The problem is only on Xubutnu 15.04 and I can't run a simple .sh script | 18:45 |
| brainwash | yes, thunar 1.6.6 does not execute shell scripts anymore. did you open my link? | 18:45 |
| brainwash | and read the commit message? | 18:46 |
| Christopher-Were | yes but it was difficult to understand | 18:46 |
| kulelu88 | underlying ubuntu would not prevent executing a simple .sh script | 18:46 |
| Christopher-Were | some binaries can also be ececuted | 18:46 |
| Christopher-Were | executed | 18:46 |
| brainwash | "For people wanting the old, unsafe behaviour there is a new boolean option called "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" that can be created and set to TRUE using xfconf-query or the Xfce settings editor." | 18:46 |
| kulelu88 | unless what brainwash says is the new system rule | 18:46 |
| brainwash | open xfce4-settings-editor and create the new property "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" in the thunar channel | 18:47 |
| brainwash | well, I haven't tested it myself | 18:48 |
| mrkramps | hm, this explains a lot =) | 18:48 |
| Christopher-Were | it says that properties have to start with a / character | 18:49 |
| mrkramps | guess what, type "/misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" | 18:50 |
| brainwash | yea | 18:51 |
| brainwash | http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings has been updated too | 18:51 |
| mrkramps | brainwash, can you still execute when script is embedded in a .desktop file? | 18:52 |
| Christopher-Were | All of this is not very user friendly at all. | 18:52 |
| brainwash | mrkramps: I guess so | 18:52 |
| brainwash | Christopher-Were: I agree somewhat | 18:53 |
| brainwash | it's a bit confusing at first | 18:53 |
| Christopher-Were | It's not adding the property | 18:54 |
| Christopher-Were | is it a boolean or a string | 18:54 |
| brainwash | boolean | 18:54 |
| mrkramps | ok, confirmed … desktop files still work | 18:55 |
| brainwash | alternatively, run "xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true" | 18:55 |
| Christopher-Were | it only works in some cases | 18:55 |
| Christopher-Were | I've got somewhere to be now, so I'll have to go. I hate it when you have to waste a few hours fixing something as stupid and as simple as this | 18:56 |
| kulelu88 | that's why you stick with LTS versions, Chris24 | 18:57 |
| kulelu88 | Christ | 18:57 |
| kulelu88 | oh he left | 18:57 |
| brainwash | this hidden setting could be exposed in the settings window of thunar, but someone needs to request it -> file a feature request | 18:59 |
| xabbix | How can I upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04? | 19:41 |
| mrkramps | use the update manager | 19:42 |
| xabbix | it doesn't offer me to update to 15.04 | 19:42 |
| mrkramps | did you change the settings for new version releases? | 19:43 |
| xabbix | checking | 19:43 |
| xabbix | mrkramps, is that under updates -> pre-released updates? | 19:44 |
| mrkramps | xabbix, nope | 19:44 |
| mrkramps | Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version | 19:45 |
| xabbix | ah, i have that marked. yes. | 19:45 |
| mrkramps | xabbix, you may also try to check manually for new release in a terminal with :$ update-manager -c | 19:49 |
| xabbix | mrkramps, well during my tests i've marked to receive unofficial updates and basically marked most of the checkboxes on the update manager. After rebooting my laptop is showing a blank, black screen. | 19:50 |
| xabbix | so... that's not good... | 19:50 |
| mrkramps | xabbix, the proposed sources might be an issue | 19:51 |
| xabbix | mrkramps, yeah not sure what to do now. I don't have anything of importance installed, might just install a fresh 15.10 copy. | 19:52 |
| xabbix | The reason I wanted to update in the first place is because I have some very annoying display issues on my Lenovo Yoga 3. menu bars are constantly disappearing (and partially showing when I hover over them) | 19:53 |
| mrkramps | not my general recommendation to solve all problems with a fresh install, but might be the easiest way to solve your problems | 19:53 |
| xabbix | So I'm hoping some of these were fixed | 19:53 |
| mrkramps | xabbix, you should try a live system first | 19:54 |
| mrkramps | things might get worse =D | 19:54 |
| xabbix | Good idea ;) | 19:54 |
| xabbix | thanks | 19:54 |
