[01:38] <AndroidKris> Question, Is there any way to make apt-get act like say...uTorrent? Pulling from multiple mirrors?
[01:39] <Unit193> ...Bye.
[01:41] <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.
[01:42] <AndroidKris> Not sure I am reading it correctly.
[01:43] <Unit193> That is to say, perhaps you should try looking into both of those methods.
[01:44] <AndroidKris> ah, "mirror://url"
[01:44] <AndroidKris> as a method of it's own?
[01:45] <Unit193> deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/US.txt trusty main restricted universe multiverse   for example
[01:47] <AndroidKris> ah, gotcha.
[01:48] <AndroidKris> Thanks for the tips...Off to see my old friend Google.
[01:50] <Unit193> :D
[01:53] <AndroidKris> love me some packages.debian.org too.
[01:53] <Unit193> Don't mix Debian and Ubuntu repos.
[01:53] <AndroidKris> Of course not.
[01:54] <AndroidKris> Repos, may be different, but a lot of the packages are the same.
[02:00] <AndroidKris> dang crappy connection
[02:02] <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?
[02:03] <Unit193> http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/offline-packages.html
[02:03] <AndroidKris> not at the moment.
[02:05] <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.
[02:06] <AndroidKris> I'm wondering if there is a way I can set apt to download normal updates on a schedule without needing my input.
[02:16] <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
[03:38] <Eight-BitLink> Hey all, quick nitpick question
[03:39] <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.
[03:40] <Unit193> Eight-BitLink: Look in xfwm4-settings and see what's there?
[03:40] <Unit193> They're there for me of course.
[03:42] <Eight-BitLink> Alright, that's weird.
[03:43] <Eight-BitLink> Using xfwm4 --replace to disable compiz temporarily, and setting the theme for xfwm4 to the same theme fixed it.
[03:45] <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?
[04:01] <ensi> hello, what is/are the xubuntu14 theme(s) that is/are installed out of the box?
[04:02] <Unit193> Generally speaking, shimmer themes.  Specific, Greybird, Numix, etc.
[04:03] <ensi> are those for xfce or just gtk?
[04:04] <Unit193> xfwm+gtk2/gtk3.
[04:04] <Unit193> unity and metacity too it seems.
[04:08] <ensi> thanks!
[05:53] <pragomer> how can I change that xubuntu always shows isolinux/syslinux menu (with that I have to press "esc")
[07:39] <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)
[07:41] <ensi> LeMike: whats the real question, you want to lock the screen or what?
[07:42] <Unit193> light-locker?
[07:43] <ensi> xscreensaver can lock the screen too
[07:57] <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.
[13:18] <kraczk> hey guys, what's the default display manager in 15.04?
[13:19] <brainwash> kraczk: it's still lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter
[13:20] <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
[13:21] <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?
[13:22] <kraczk> for now not, maybe just change the appearance
[13:26] <ochosi> kraczk: that's lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings then. you might have to install it
[13:27] <brainwash> it's not installed by default?
[13:28] <kraczk> looks like it is, thanks for your help :)
[13:55] <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?
[14:11] <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?
[15:02] <brainwash> bosnjak: please read http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/
[15:08] <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
[15:09] <brainwash> should be enough
[15:09] <bosnjak> brainwash: thanks :)
[15:18] <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?
[15:21] <Christopher-Were> Is anybody even here?
[15:22] <bynarie> hm i use audacity, but havent had any problem
[15:23] <Christopher-Were> surely you must know if it. I've had it for the last 3 xubuntu upgrades
[15:24] <bynarie> and its only messing up on 15.04?
[15:25] <Christopher-Were> i meant the last 3 ubuntus
[15:25] <bynarie> but the problems only started on 15.o4 right?
[15:27] <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.
[15:54] <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?
[16:15] <holstein> oiu: the issue is not present with another theme?
[16:17] <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).
[16:18] <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.
[16:20] <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
[16:21] <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
[16:54] <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
[16:55] <Luyin> kulelu88: what do you mean by "top/bottom" window manager?
[16:56] <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
[16:57] <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"
[16:58] <Luyin> then uncheck "show windows from all workspaces"
[16:59] <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!
[17:00] <Luyin> yw kulelu88
[18:16] <Christopher-Were> Hi does anyone know how I can run a script file from Thunar in Xubuntu 15.04 without opening it in mousepad?
[18:18] <KW4HK> custom action?
[18:19] <Christopher-Were> what's custom action?
[18:20] <KW4HK> http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions
[18:21] <Christopher-Were> That sounds awefully complicated considering no other file manager has this problem
[18:23] <Christopher-Were> in a terminal i just do ./command
[18:26] <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.
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <mrkramps> Christopher-Were, you need to change permission of script file
[18:28] <mrkramps> allow execution, or in terminal:$ chmod +x scriptfile
[18:29] <Christopher-Were> no easy way to do this without dropping into the terminal?
[18:29] <mrkramps> Christopher-Were, file properties
[18:30] <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!?
[18:31] <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
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <mrkramps> the file properties dialog should also show you which file a link points to
[18:38] <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
[18:41] <kulelu88> portable apps?
[18:41] <Christopher-Were> or portable binaries
[18:42] <kulelu88> both 64-bit?
[18:42] <Christopher-Were> what?
[18:42] <kulelu88> nvm
[18:42] <mrkramps> Christopher-Were, which app?
[18:43] <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
[18:44] <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?
[18:45] <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?
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <brainwash> open xfce4-settings-editor and create the new property "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" in the thunar channel
[18:48] <brainwash> well, I haven't tested it myself
[18:48] <mrkramps> hm, this explains a lot =)
[18:49] <Christopher-Were> it says that properties have to start with a / character
[18:50] <mrkramps> guess what, type "/misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default"
[18:51] <brainwash> yea
[18:51] <brainwash> http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings has been updated too
[18:52] <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
[18:53] <brainwash> Christopher-Were: I agree somewhat
[18:53] <brainwash> it's a bit confusing at first
[18:54] <Christopher-Were> It's not adding the property
[18:54] <Christopher-Were> is it a boolean or a string
[18:54] <brainwash> boolean
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <kulelu88> that's why you stick with LTS versions, Chris24
[18:57] <kulelu88> Christ
[18:57] <kulelu88> oh he left
[18:59] <brainwash> this hidden setting could be exposed in the settings window of thunar, but someone needs to request it -> file a feature request
[19:41] <xabbix> How can I upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04?
[19:42] <mrkramps> use the update manager
[19:42] <xabbix> it doesn't offer me to update to 15.04
[19:43] <mrkramps> did you change the settings for new version releases?
[19:43] <xabbix> checking
[19:44] <xabbix> mrkramps, is that under updates -> pre-released updates?
[19:44] <mrkramps> xabbix, nope
[19:45] <mrkramps> Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version
[19:45] <xabbix> ah, i have that marked. yes.
[19:49] <mrkramps> xabbix, you may also try to check manually for new release in a terminal with :$ update-manager -c
[19:50] <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...
[19:51] <mrkramps> xabbix, the proposed sources might be an issue
[19:52] <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.
[19:53] <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
[19:54] <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
