[02:56] <geekfisher> Hi, I do have problems with resume after sleep on 3 Asus laptops
[02:57] <geekfisher> most of the time I got the blank screen
[02:57] <geekfisher> every so often no screen at all
[03:23] <stdin[]> How do I disable the popup when I change the volume?
[03:25] <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
[03:26] <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
[03:33] <stdin[]> dang what a tradeoff
[03:34] <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
[03:35] <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
[03:36] <holstein> something that is using qt
[03:36] <stdin[]> kubuntu works, it's a missing dep if you install it standalone hmm
[04:52] <cntr> i'm using dvorak-international, but it does not type non-basic characters
[04:52] <cntr> what do i do?

[07:11] <xubuntu66w> Hi, how can I check to see what version of xubuntu I'n running?
[07:15] <xubuntu66w> anyone there?
[07:17] <audreeliss> here is nothing: D
[07:19] <elfy> xubuntu66w: you could run lsb_release -r in a terminal
[07:23] <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.
[07:24] <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.
[07:25] <dafukkkk> I wonder if there is a timeout or something.
[07:25] <dafukkkk> Any ideas?
[08:05] <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?
[08:10] <udzguru> good morning
[08:12] <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?
[08:17] <brainwash> udzguru: is this the greybird theme from the repository?
[08:21] <udzguru> yes it is
[08:22] <udzguru> just played around a little bit. but changing the theme or icon-set doesn't change anything in the bright background issue
[08:23] <brainwash> did you add any PPAs related to GNOME or GTK+ 3?
[08:23] <udzguru> not as far as i know
[08:24] <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
[08:25] <brainwash> so, Greybird in 15.04 should not be affected
[08:26] <udzguru> in my case it is :(
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <udzguru> little_user, nope not yet. i'm not that much into customizing. lemme see.
[08:31] <udzguru> where do i find this? under window manager tweaks?
[08:31] <udzguru> (little difficult as my language is set to german)
[08:32] <little_user> udzguru, systemeinstellungen
[08:32] <little_user> udzguru, "Leiste -> Erscheinungsbild"
[08:33] <udzguru> thanks, went there: no changes when changing the alpha channel.
[08:37] <little_user> udzguru, may this :  http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/preferences  helps?
[08:40] <udzguru> not really little_user
[08:43] <brainwash> please answer my question then
[08:44] <udzguru> excuse me brainwash: just added another user -> affected too.
[08:45] <dafukkk> Ideas?
[08:46] <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
[08:47] <udzguru> just removed the xfce4.12 ppa i seem to have added some time ago
[08:48] <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 ?
[08:49] <brainwash> sudo apt-get install --reinstall greybird-gtk-theme
[08:50] <brainwash> if a new user account is affected too, then having a local theme in ~/.themes won't matter
[08:52] <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
[11:53] <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.
[11:55] <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.
[12:07] <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.
[12:20] <brainwash_> priuon: feel free to report bugs https://github.com/squentin/gmusicbrowser/issues
[12:22] <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.
[12:24] <brainwash_> where does it write data? does it update its own music database file?
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <brainwash_> the one opened by the file manager Thunar?
[12:27] <priuon> the one opened in gmusicbrowser
[12:28] <brainwash_> this one probably queries the music/library data created by gmusicbrowser
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <priuon> brainwash_: I know music-files to have a playcounter. I assume it's in the id3 tag.
[12:31] <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
[12:32] <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
[12:35] <priuon> brainwash_: Sounds much like what I am looking for.
[12:44] <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.
[12:59] <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......
[13:00] <arnoud> Now I have a working system but it looks pretty ugly... do I need to install some extra skins or tweak configurations?
[13:01] <arnoud> On anthor machine the original Xubuntu installer went fine and the desktop skin looks decent...
[13:05] <brainwash_> arnoud: you can change the appearance via the settings manager
[13:05] <arnoud> Yeah I can.
[13:06] <brainwash_> the default gtk theme is Greybird
[13:06] <arnoud> have chosen Greybird ... the setting it came with
[13:07] <arnoud> When I click the left top icon the layout looks pretty ugly.
[13:09] <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.
[13:12] <brainwash_> maybe we can resolve your issue if you share a screenshot of it
[13:13] <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.
[13:15] <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!
[13:56] <xubuntu808> hi
[13:56] <xubuntu808> how about installing xcfe on a sd card?
[13:59] <antix> how about it
[13:59] <antix> you can, if that's what you're asking
[14:21] <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 ?
[14:28] <OCBb> I'd like eee revived .
[14:28] <elfy> OCBb: what problems do you have running the mini.iso from a usb?
[14:30] <OCBb> elfy> Minimalcd stop running, after download some item.
[14:32] <OCBb> In https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD 12.4 dont run from usb
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <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?
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <elfy> no idea - not really got any clue what Lubuntu might get up to
[14:41] <OCBb> Have it! http://askubuntu.com/questions/395932/can-i-install-ubuntu-in-a-3-5-gb-mini-pc
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <OCBb> Thanks!
[14:45] <OCBb> I set up it at 4Gb
[14:48] <varaindemian> is there any way I can make xubuntu's top panel look like ubuntu?
[14:48] <varaindemian> **ubuntu's
[14:49] <mrkramps> short answer: yes
[14:49] <varaindemian> mrkramps: how?
[14:50] <mrkramps> varaindemian, you may have noticed the xfce panel can be modified in size, color and extended with pluging
[14:51] <mrkramps> *plugins
[14:54] <mrkramps> varaindemian, but of course you are welcome to ask about the details if you are stuck with configuration at some point
[14:56] <varaindemian> mrkramps: thank you, I'll look a bit at settings
[14:57] <krytarik> varaindemian: For that matter:  http://www.webupd8.org/2015/02/use-global-menu-in-xubuntu-or-linux.html
[15:16] <varaindemian> Can someone tell me the default date/clock format (custom one) for xubuntu 15.04 (as in %d %B etc.)?
[15:17] <varaindemian> I messed it up a bit :D
[15:18] <holstein> you want the default? or a custom one for a specific readout?
[15:19] <varaindemian> holstein: the default one
[15:22] <elfy> varaindemian: %d %b, %H:%M
[15:24] <varaindemian> elfy: thx
[17:55] <audreeliss> how to switch between Analog Stereo output & HDMI audio output?
[17:55] <audreeliss> I could not find
[17:55] <baizon> audreeliss: pavucontrol
[17:56] <baizon> then you have outputs, just swap and its done
[17:57] <audreeliss> I know these things. The plugin is not to switch to the Linux Mint cinammon. One push of a button to switch?
[18:00] <audreeliss> In that sense, I would switch comfortably, furthering analysis deep into the settings, if possible.
[18:02] <baizon> audreeliss: http://i.stack.imgur.com/g4HUr.png
[18:03] <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
[18:04] <audreeliss> Thanks, I'll try

[21:08] <carrera> I have SoftRAID so I'm using the NetIntall
[21:08] <carrera> *NetInstall
[21:10] <carrera> does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

[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
[21:14] <carrera> Unit193, is this hapenning because I'm installing on RAID?
[21:15] <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> it's 1:46 am over here now

[21:17] <carrera> *thanks
[21:17] <carrera> should I boot into Rescue Mode now and install grub from there?
[21:18] <Unit193> Could.
[21:19] <carrera> how else could I do it sir?
[21:19] <carrera> is there a better way?
[21:20] <Unit193> That should work, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing outlines the options.
[21:48] <carrera> Unit193, can't find grub-install
[21:49] <Unit193> grub2-common: /usr/sbin/grub-install
[22:03] <carrera> can anyone tell me the difference between regular Netboot and HWE Netboot (Utopic-Netboot)?
[22:30] <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..
[22:31] <carrera> this is too hard
[22:31] <carrera> I followed instrucitons on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[22:47] <carrera> I ran sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot  /dev/md125
[22:47] <carrera> I got:  unrecognized option '--boot-directory=/mnt/boot/proc'
[23:33] <carrera> can anyone tell me why everytime I shutdown, Xubuntu 14.04 forgets my keybindings for moving to other desktops?
