[01:38] Question, Is there any way to make apt-get act like say...uTorrent? Pulling from multiple mirrors? [01:39] ...Bye. [01:41] AndroidKris: Maybe look into apt-p2p or mirror:// urls? [01:41] Are you asking me a question with that last part? the "urls ?" part. [01:42] Not sure I am reading it correctly. [01:43] That is to say, perhaps you should try looking into both of those methods. [01:44] ah, "mirror://url" [01:44] as a method of it's own? [01:45] deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/US.txt trusty main restricted universe multiverse for example [01:47] ah, gotcha. [01:48] Thanks for the tips...Off to see my old friend Google. [01:50] :D [01:53] love me some packages.debian.org too. [01:53] Don't mix Debian and Ubuntu repos. [01:53] Of course not. [01:54] Repos, may be different, but a lot of the packages are the same. [02:00] dang crappy connection [02:02] 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] Another question, got another location you can download updates from? [02:03] http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/offline-packages.html [02:03] not at the moment. [02:05] 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] 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] 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] Hey all, quick nitpick question [03:39] 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] Eight-BitLink: Look in xfwm4-settings and see what's there? [03:40] They're there for me of course. [03:42] Alright, that's weird. [03:43] Using xfwm4 --replace to disable compiz temporarily, and setting the theme for xfwm4 to the same theme fixed it. [03:45] Thanks for the suggestion! [03:45] Sure. [03:45] Been banging my head against a wall looking for a solution. [03:45] Also, for basic compositing, compton? [04:01] hello, what is/are the xubuntu14 theme(s) that is/are installed out of the box? [04:02] Generally speaking, shimmer themes. Specific, Greybird, Numix, etc. [04:03] are those for xfce or just gtk? [04:04] xfwm+gtk2/gtk3. [04:04] unity and metacity too it seems. [04:08] thanks! [05:53] how can I change that xubuntu always shows isolinux/syslinux menu (with that I have to press "esc") [07:39] 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] (currently it is xflock4) [07:41] LeMike: whats the real question, you want to lock the screen or what? [07:42] light-locker? [07:43] xscreensaver can lock the screen too [07:57] 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. === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [13:18] hey guys, what's the default display manager in 15.04? [13:19] kraczk: it's still lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter [13:20] lightdm-gtk-greeter is responsible for the visual appearance [13:20] brainwash: thanks man, is there any way to configure it? dpkg-reconfigure doesn't seem to do anything [13:21] there should be a new entry in the settings manager to configure it [13:21] or, what do you want to configure? change to another DM? [13:22] for now not, maybe just change the appearance [13:26] kraczk: that's lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings then. you might have to install it [13:27] it's not installed by default? [13:28] looks like it is, thanks for your help :) === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [13:55] 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] 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] bosnjak: please read http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ [15:08] 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] should be enough [15:09] brainwash: thanks :) [15:18] 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] Is anybody even here? [15:22] hm i use audacity, but havent had any problem [15:23] surely you must know if it. I've had it for the last 3 xubuntu upgrades [15:24] and its only messing up on 15.04? [15:25] i meant the last 3 ubuntus [15:25] but the problems only started on 15.o4 right? === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [15:27] you should probably update to the newest audacity [15:27] not quite. I'm gonna restart. See if that works. Thanks for helping though. [15:54] 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] oiu: the issue is not present with another theme? [16:17] 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] 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] No, it's not. [16:18] Not present with just Greybird, I mean. [16:20] i would try live iso's in vbox.. see if its an issue with only xfce, xubuntu.. etc [16:20] Will do. [16:20] I know it's not present in Ubuntu with Unity because of the global menu bar thing. [16:20] 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] Okay, thank you! I'll give it all a go. [16:21] 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 === timvishe_ is now known as timvisher [16:54] 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] kulelu88: what do you mean by "top/bottom" window manager? [16:56] 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] panel [16:57] exactly! [16:57] it's cluttered now. I always wished I could make each screen have its own panel manager. [16:57] kulelu88: open the window button settings and enable "grouping: always" [16:58] then uncheck "show windows from all workspaces" [16:59] you are a legend Luyin !!!! [16:59] I just unchecked show windows from all monitors and now each screen stores its own stuff! [17:00] yw kulelu88 [18:16] Hi does anyone know how I can run a script file from Thunar in Xubuntu 15.04 without opening it in mousepad? [18:18] custom action? [18:19] what's custom action? [18:20] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions [18:21] That sounds awefully complicated considering no other file manager has this problem [18:23] in a terminal i just do ./command [18:26] why do you need to open it in mousepad? [18:26] I don't want to open it in mouspad, I want to execute the script [18:26] that's probably his default for .sh files. [18:27] yes, it probably is the default for .sh, how can i change the default so that it runs the script [18:27] Christopher-Were: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/commit/?id=b385bcf7c856fdc0a63b5f91a6d4053a7d22347e [18:27] that's weird. ./run.sh should run and not open in mousepad [18:27] please read the commit message [18:28] Christopher-Were, you need to change permission of script file [18:28] allow execution, or in terminal:$ chmod +x scriptfile [18:29] no easy way to do this without dropping into the terminal? [18:29] Christopher-Were, file properties [18:30] it gives an error message [18:30] oh you want to run the script without terminal? yeah that will be possible also. Just make the .sh file executable [18:30] Christopher-Were, are you expecting us to guess the exact error message!? [18:31] then right-click should give you the option to execute file [18:31] please don't be sarky. I'm trying to follow and instructions and rely them at the same time [18:32] The error says Cannot set permissions on symlinks. [18:32] Do you want to skip it? [18:32] ok, so you try to change the permission of a symbolic link [18:32] you need to change permission of the actual file [18:33] the file properties dialog should also show you which file a link points to [18:38] Yeah this is a problem with most of my portable apps [18:38] For some reason all my portable apps broke in an upgrade to 15.04 [18:41] portable apps? [18:41] or portable binaries [18:42] both 64-bit? [18:42] what? [18:42] nvm [18:42] Christopher-Were, which app? [18:43] 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] Sometimes they're also called static binaries [18:44] Christopher-Were, and it the problem on Xubuntu is you are not able to execute the start script? [18:45] The problem is only on Xubutnu 15.04 and I can't run a simple .sh script [18:45] yes, thunar 1.6.6 does not execute shell scripts anymore. did you open my link? [18:46] and read the commit message? [18:46] yes but it was difficult to understand [18:46] underlying ubuntu would not prevent executing a simple .sh script [18:46] some binaries can also be ececuted [18:46] executed [18:46] "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] unless what brainwash says is the new system rule [18:47] open xfce4-settings-editor and create the new property "misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" in the thunar channel [18:48] well, I haven't tested it myself [18:48] hm, this explains a lot =) [18:49] it says that properties have to start with a / character [18:50] guess what, type "/misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default" [18:51] yea [18:51] http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/hidden-settings has been updated too [18:52] brainwash, can you still execute when script is embedded in a .desktop file? [18:52] All of this is not very user friendly at all. [18:52] mrkramps: I guess so [18:53] Christopher-Were: I agree somewhat [18:53] it's a bit confusing at first [18:54] It's not adding the property [18:54] is it a boolean or a string [18:54] boolean [18:55] ok, confirmed … desktop files still work [18:55] alternatively, run "xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-exec-shell-scripts-by-default --create --type bool --set true" [18:55] it only works in some cases [18:56] 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] that's why you stick with LTS versions, Chris24 [18:57] Christ [18:57] oh he left [18:59] this hidden setting could be exposed in the settings window of thunar, but someone needs to request it -> file a feature request [19:41] How can I upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04? [19:42] use the update manager [19:42] it doesn't offer me to update to 15.04 [19:43] did you change the settings for new version releases? [19:43] checking [19:44] mrkramps, is that under updates -> pre-released updates? [19:44] xabbix, nope [19:45] Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For any new version [19:45] ah, i have that marked. yes. [19:49] xabbix, you may also try to check manually for new release in a terminal with :$ update-manager -c [19:50] 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] so... that's not good... [19:51] xabbix, the proposed sources might be an issue [19:52] 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] 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] not my general recommendation to solve all problems with a fresh install, but might be the easiest way to solve your problems [19:53] So I'm hoping some of these were fixed [19:54] xabbix, you should try a live system first [19:54] things might get worse =D [19:54] Good idea ;) [19:54] thanks
