| geekfisher | Hi, I do have problems with resume after sleep on 3 Asus laptops | 02:56 |
|---|---|---|
| geekfisher | most of the time I got the blank screen | 02:57 |
| geekfisher | every so often no screen at all | 02:57 |
| stdin[] | How do I disable the popup when I change the volume? | 03:23 |
| holstein | stdin[]: "You can use dconf editor to configure it. Just set the parameter show-notify-osd-on-scrol value to false. See below:" | 03:25 |
| holstein | from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2256986 | 03:25 |
| holstein | not sure if that will still be relevant, but, you can try it first, and see | 03:25 |
| holstein | actually.. "xfce4-volumed displays that notification. If you kill the process, the notifications shouldn't appear any more. Unfortunately, you'll also lose the ability to manage the volume using the media keys. xfce4-volumed doesn't appear to allow you to the ability to toggle the display of the notifications - its all or nothing. You'll need to assign volume control commands to new key combinations if you want to control volume that way." | 03:26 |
| holstein | that sounds accurate, to me, as well | 03:26 |
| stdin[] | dang what a tradeoff | 03:33 |
| stdin[] | I guess I'll leave it on until I hook up my DAC | 03:34 |
| holstein | you can swap out parts, if you prefer.. | 03:34 |
| stdin[] | then I don't need to change system volume | 03:34 |
| stdin[] | I still can't find out to change font rendering for Qt applications on 15.05 | 03:35 |
| holstein | 15.04? | 03:35 |
| stdin[] | on 14.04 i jsut sued systemsettings but it has no options in 15.04 | 03:35 |
| holstein | i might ask in the kubuntu channel | 03:35 |
| holstein | something that is using qt | 03:36 |
| stdin[] | kubuntu works, it's a missing dep if you install it standalone hmm | 03:36 |
| cntr | i'm using dvorak-international, but it does not type non-basic characters | 04:52 |
| cntr | what do i do? | 04:52 |

| xubuntu66w | Hi, how can I check to see what version of xubuntu I'n running? | 07:11 |
| xubuntu66w | anyone there? | 07:15 |
| audreeliss | here is nothing: D | 07:17 |
| elfy | xubuntu66w: you could run lsb_release -r in a terminal | 07:19 |
| dafukkkk | Hello. I have two old Maxtor hard drives and they were functioning properly. I could boot from both of them. I even installed Xubuntu with only one partition (ext4, primary) on one. But then... I decided to re-install Xubuntu, but this time with another primary partition, a 2048 MB swap space. (2048 MB primary swap, rest primary ext4)... after rebooting, BIOS hangs up on this hard drive. | 07:23 |
| dafukkkk | I did the same with my other hard drive, and the same happened. BIOS hangs up on it as well. | 07:23 |
| dafukkkk | I guess it's trying to execute my swap partition as boot code since it's my first partition, but I cannot boot from a removable disk either while the HDs are connected, to re-partition them. | 07:24 |
| dafukkkk | I wonder if there is a timeout or something. | 07:25 |
| dafukkkk | Any ideas? | 07:25 |
| little_user | Oh, ISS. A new version is availible. 15.04 is there, you use 14.04 ! "Are you ready to update?". And stupid as i are, i clicked on that. Now i could not inc(dec-)crease my display brightness on my hp nc2400 laptop, with the fn-keys whats happend here? | 08:05 |
| udzguru | good morning | 08:10 |
| udzguru | just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04. went smooth and system is running. but my panel looks a little strange and bright: http://i.imgur.com/smvLDCP.png anybody got an idea what this could be and how to solve it? | 08:12 |
| brainwash | udzguru: is this the greybird theme from the repository? | 08:17 |
| udzguru | yes it is | 08:21 |
| udzguru | just played around a little bit. but changing the theme or icon-set doesn't change anything in the bright background issue | 08:22 |
| brainwash | did you add any PPAs related to GNOME or GTK+ 3? | 08:23 |
| udzguru | not as far as i know | 08:23 |
| brainwash | bug 1408979 | 08:24 |
| ubottu | bug 1408979 in shimmer-themes (Ubuntu) "white background on xfce4-indicator-plugin with non-Greybird themes" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1408979 | 08:24 |
| brainwash | so, Greybird in 15.04 should not be affected | 08:25 |
| udzguru | in my case it is :( | 08:26 |
| brainwash | lets see, are other user accounts or the guest session affected too? | 08:27 |
| little_user | udzguru, did you try to change the alpha-channel in settings? | 08:27 |
| udzguru | i just realized that i have added the xfce ppa somewhen in the past | 08:27 |
| udzguru | little_user, nope not yet. i'm not that much into customizing. lemme see. | 08:28 |
| udzguru | where do i find this? under window manager tweaks? | 08:31 |
| udzguru | (little difficult as my language is set to german) | 08:31 |
| little_user | udzguru, systemeinstellungen | 08:32 |
| little_user | udzguru, "Leiste -> Erscheinungsbild" | 08:32 |
| udzguru | thanks, went there: no changes when changing the alpha channel. | 08:33 |
| little_user | udzguru, may this : http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/preferences helps? | 08:37 |
| udzguru | not really little_user | 08:40 |
| brainwash | please answer my question then | 08:43 |
| udzguru | excuse me brainwash: just added another user -> affected too. | 08:44 |
| dafukkk | Ideas? | 08:45 |
| little_user | no answe for me this day, sry. try it later. thx | 08:46 |
| brainwash | mmh, so, make sure that there is no version mess (PPAs, local theme copy,..) | 08:46 |
| brainwash | other than that, please add a comment to the previously linked report | 08:46 |
| udzguru | just removed the xfce4.12 ppa i seem to have added some time ago | 08:47 |
| udzguru | is there a way to reinstall the official themes from the repo? and where do i find local theme copies? probably somewhere in /home ? | 08:48 |
| brainwash | sudo apt-get install --reinstall greybird-gtk-theme | 08:49 |
| brainwash | if a new user account is affected too, then having a local theme in ~/.themes won't matter | 08:50 |
| udzguru | reinstalling greybird was the key! | 08:52 |
| udzguru | probably had a version from the xfce ppa installed i guess | 08:52 |
| brainwash | great :) | 08:52 |
| udzguru | thanks a lot for the help and expertise! | 08:52 |
| brainwash | you're welcome | 08:52 |
| priuon | hello. How is gmusicbrowser's 'kernel-hacking' abilitys disabled? it writes tags without changing modification times ignoring file protections and furthermore the "never write tag" option I select in the settings. | 11:53 |
| priuon | I haven't tried but I think it will also delete writeprotected files. It should not have any superuser priviledges as far as I can judge. | 11:55 |
| priuon | Just noted I forgot that gmusicbrowser apparently doesn't reflect the state of the files on the harddrive. It seems like it did not change the files as stated above. Yet the Option I select doesn't seem to hold. | 12:07 |
| brainwash_ | priuon: feel free to report bugs https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/issues | 12:20 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I tried some things but I don't think it takes effect. Most noteably the play/skip-counter still seems to write data without priviledges. | 12:22 |
| brainwash_ | where does it write data? does it update its own music database file? | 12:24 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I don't know | 12:25 |
| priuon | brainwash_: It show's in the properties dialog of the file, so I get it's the id3 tag | 12:25 |
| brainwash_ | the one opened by the file manager Thunar? | 12:26 |
| priuon | the one opened in gmusicbrowser | 12:27 |
| brainwash_ | this one probably queries the music/library data created by gmusicbrowser | 12:28 |
| priuon | brainwash_: that doesn't seem right to me. | 12:29 |
| brainwash_ | I don't use gmb and cannot test anything right now, so my only suggestion is to report this as bug | 12:29 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I know music-files to have a playcounter. I assume it's in the id3 tag. | 12:30 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I use gmb for it's library functionality. Can you recommend a replacement? audacious doesn't seem to handle librarys well. | 12:31 |
| brainwash_ | I always thought that the play counter is bound to a music player and its database | 12:31 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I actually don't know for sure. But I would have thew counter bound to the file or inode. | 12:32 |
| brainwash_ | the Xubuntu team is thinking about replacing gmb, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/W/DefaultMediaPlayer | 12:32 |
| priuon | brainwash_: Sounds much like what I am looking for. | 12:35 |
| priuon | brainwash_: I'll check out Rhythmbox. gmb seems to be quite sophisticated in general. A bit over the top for what I look out for though. | 12:44 |
| arnoud | hello I tryed to install Xubuntu LTS 14.04.2 desktop via the standard installer. With and without checking: "update during installation" and " install third party addons" the installer did not complete, was hanging for a few hours. In the end I went for the mini.iso installer, fetched from ubuntu.org. I install Xubuntu and did a apt-get update apt-get upgrade...... | 12:59 |
| arnoud | Now I have a working system but it looks pretty ugly... do I need to install some extra skins or tweak configurations? | 13:00 |
| arnoud | On anthor machine the original Xubuntu installer went fine and the desktop skin looks decent... | 13:01 |
| brainwash_ | arnoud: you can change the appearance via the settings manager | 13:05 |
| arnoud | Yeah I can. | 13:05 |
| brainwash_ | the default gtk theme is Greybird | 13:06 |
| arnoud | have chosen Greybird ... the setting it came with | 13:06 |
| arnoud | When I click the left top icon the layout looks pretty ugly. | 13:07 |
| arnoud | I think I stick with it and install a panel where I place the most used programs... than I dont have to look at it anymore. | 13:09 |
| brainwash_ | maybe we can resolve your issue if you share a screenshot of it | 13:12 |
| function9x | arnoud: I use greybird 14.04 http://i.imgur.com/U2nKAvv.png it nice??? | 13:13 |
| arnoud | I think I found it it is the "whisker menu" accesiable from xfce4-panel-settings ..... with the application icons only it is all fine. | 13:13 |
| mrkramps | what's the matter? from minimal install just run :$ sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 13:15 |
| arnoud | thanks for the help ... function9x... with adjusting the panel size ... desktop image and slightly darker colors I can get the same look as your desktop... looks nice! | 13:15 |
| xubuntu808 | hi | 13:56 |
| xubuntu808 | how about installing xcfe on a sd card? | 13:56 |
| antix | how about it | 13:59 |
| antix | you can, if that's what you're asking | 13:59 |
| OCBb | Hi, I have problem with installing Xubuntu on a 4 GB storage device (Eee PC 701). Minimal cd dont work from USB :( . It is posible change the minimum requirements for free space ? | 14:21 |
| OCBb | I'd like eee revived . | 14:28 |
| elfy | OCBb: what problems do you have running the mini.iso from a usb? | 14:28 |
| OCBb | elfy> Minimalcd stop running, after download some item. | 14:30 |
| OCBb | In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD 12.4 dont run from usb | 14:32 |
| elfy | well if you went with 12.04 and then installed Xubuntu and came for support - we'd tell you it is EOL - so I'd not go there anyway | 14:33 |
| elfy | so I'd go with at least 14.04 | 14:33 |
| elfy | sometimes it looks like it has hung, you can go to a vt (4 I think) to see what it's doing at that moment | 14:34 |
| OCBb | When I tried to install Lubuntu , enough to override a parameter, and it was possible to circumvent the minimum requirements . Is some similar solutions in xubuntu? | 14:34 |
| elfy | I'd expect so, there's not really any difference in the base install regardless of which flavour | 14:36 |
| OCBb | elfy> Thanks for the replies , I retract minimalcd 14.04 . :) But I would still like to know the minimum requirements bypassed and used the standard installation | 14:36 |
| elfy | no idea - not really got any clue what Lubuntu might get up to | 14:37 |
| OCBb | Have it! http://askubuntu.com/questions/395932/can-i-install-ubuntu-in-a-3-5-gb-mini-pc | 14:41 |
| mrkramps | OCBb, should work with all derivates using the ubiquity installer | 14:43 |
| elfy | a clean install of 15.04 uses ~3Gb so don't make it too small | 14:43 |
| OCBb | Thanks! | 14:44 |
| OCBb | I set up it at 4Gb | 14:45 |
| varaindemian | is there any way I can make xubuntu's top panel look like ubuntu? | 14:48 |
| varaindemian | **ubuntu's | 14:48 |
| mrkramps | short answer: yes | 14:49 |
| varaindemian | mrkramps: how? | 14:49 |
| mrkramps | varaindemian, you may have noticed the xfce panel can be modified in size, color and extended with pluging | 14:50 |
| mrkramps | *plugins | 14:51 |
| mrkramps | varaindemian, but of course you are welcome to ask about the details if you are stuck with configuration at some point | 14:54 |
| varaindemian | mrkramps: thank you, I'll look a bit at settings | 14:56 |
| krytarik | varaindemian: For that matter: http://www.webupd8.org/2015/02/use-global-menu-in-xubuntu-or-linux.html | 14:57 |
| varaindemian | Can someone tell me the default date/clock format (custom one) for xubuntu 15.04 (as in %d %B etc.)? | 15:16 |
| varaindemian | I messed it up a bit :D | 15:17 |
| holstein | you want the default? or a custom one for a specific readout? | 15:18 |
| varaindemian | holstein: the default one | 15:19 |
| elfy | varaindemian: %d %b, %H:%M | 15:22 |
| varaindemian | elfy: thx | 15:24 |
| audreeliss | how to switch between Analog Stereo output & HDMI audio output? | 17:55 |
| audreeliss | I could not find | 17:55 |
| baizon | audreeliss: pavucontrol | 17:55 |
| baizon | then you have outputs, just swap and its done | 17:56 |
| audreeliss | I know these things. The plugin is not to switch to the Linux Mint cinammon. One push of a button to switch? | 17:57 |
| audreeliss | In that sense, I would switch comfortably, furthering analysis deep into the settings, if possible. | 18:00 |
| baizon | audreeliss: http://i.stack.imgur.com/g4HUr.png | 18:02 |
| baizon | audreeliss: just do this on the "output devices" tab if you want it "global" | 18:03 |
| baizon | audreeliss: see this picture http://kodi.wiki/images/thumb/a/a3/Passthrough2.png/452px-Passthrough2.png | 18:03 |
| mrkramps | or read about pactl and pacmd if you look for a command to map to a keyboard shortcut | 18:03 |
| audreeliss | Thanks, I'll try | 18:04 |

| carrera | does anyone know how I can resolve this issue? | 21:10 |
| carrera | I'm thinkin of reinstalling 14.04 | 21:10 |
| carrera | *thinking | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | You can install it manually? | 21:11 |
| Unit193 | !grub | 21:11 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 21:11 |
| carrera | really? | 21:11 |
| carrera | cool | 21:11 |
| carrera | Unit193, is this hapenning because I'm installing on RAID? | 21:14 |
| Unit193 | I wondered, I do not know. | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | No logs? | 21:15 |
| carrera | I tried to save them but it failed | 21:15 |
| carrera | and it was late at night | 21:15 |

| carrera | *thanks | 21:17 |
| carrera | should I boot into Rescue Mode now and install grub from there? | 21:17 |
| Unit193 | Could. | 21:18 |
| carrera | how else could I do it sir? | 21:19 |
| carrera | is there a better way? | 21:19 |
| Unit193 | That should work, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing outlines the options. | 21:20 |
| carrera | Unit193, can't find grub-install | 21:48 |
| Unit193 | grub2-common: /usr/sbin/grub-install | 21:49 |
| carrera | can anyone tell me the difference between regular Netboot and HWE Netboot (Utopic-Netboot)? | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | I'd think HWE has, well HWE. Newer kernel, mesa, x, etc, carrera. | 22:30 |
| Unit193 | Also, if installing grub fails you, there's that tool that's supposed to fix issues like that.. | 22:30 |
| carrera | this is too hard | 22:31 |
| carrera | I followed instrucitons on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing | 22:31 |
