| fobabetty | hi. I want to create a desktop link to xfce4-terminal that executes a command: e.g. like this: Exec=xfce4-terminal -H -x echo "test" | 08:09 |
|---|---|---|
| fobabetty | But I want the terminal to "go to cursor / input mode"... if I do it like this I cannot make an input to the terminal. | 08:10 |
| fobabetty | how can I do that? | 08:10 |
| brainwash | fobabetty: -x sh -c 'echo "test"; bash' | 08:15 |
| brainwash | -H may be not needed in this case | 08:15 |
| fobabetty | brainwash: oh great. thank you so much | 08:16 |
| XxHardXtremexX | Hello ;) | 08:40 |
| max12345 | hey, I have a problem installing teamspeak 3 on my system. It's update the problem I get is this https://tinyurl.com/msoepds | 09:25 |
| max12345 | *it's updated | 09:25 |
| knome | you should ask the teamspeak forums or support channels | 09:29 |
| max12345 | the link points to the teamspeak forums, there is no solution there. | 09:31 |
| Guest27653 | hey | 09:42 |
| Guest27653 | what's going on? | 09:42 |
| Guest27653 | so i'm a long time windows user trying gnu linux xubuntu whatever | 09:44 |
| Guest27653 | how do you "always combine, hide labels" like you can in windows 7? | 09:44 |
| Guest27653 | i think i got the hide labels by setting mode to "deskbar" instead of "vertical" since i have my taskbar or panel on the left | 09:44 |
| Guest27653 | but i can't figure out how to "combine" items or have all the icons on the panel be 1 icon instead of multiple icons | 09:44 |
| koegs | Guest27653: i think the xfce4-panel cannot do that | 09:48 |
| Guest27653 | oh alright well thank you very the honest answer | 09:49 |
| roflbox | Hello I am encountering an issue with http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/display and setting up multiple displays. I currently have a laptop and 1 external monitor hooked up through a VGA port. When I use the display settings to mirror my physical setup (Laptop is in the middle and external monitor is on the left) I keep the laptop marked as primary | 13:37 |
| roflbox | display, but whenever I go to drag the external monitor around to the left, the display settings change to the external display behaving like the primary display, despite that primary display is still checked on the laptop display | 13:37 |
| travelmate4650 | Hello | 14:38 |
| xucore | Hello. First time using IRC, so, not sure how to do this. I am installing the Xubuntu Core from mini.iso | 16:09 |
| xucore | apt-get install xubuntu-core^ from a mini.iso base and the install is not completeting properly and on restart the system stops at failed to start light display manager a start job is running for wait for... screen to quit (minutes/no limit) | 16:09 |
| xucore | I have tired twice, it seems that the task is missing some dependancies? | 16:10 |
| xucore | Has anyone else run across this? Thanks | 16:10 |
| xucore | Oh. this is in a virtualbox guest on xu14.04 host. | 16:11 |
| brainwash_ | xucore: reproducible? | 16:15 |
| xucore | meaning? on another system or? | 16:15 |
| brainwash_ | another virtual guest | 16:16 |
| brainwash_ | virtualbox | 16:16 |
| xucore | I made the guest twice. | 16:16 |
| xucore | from clean install, if that is what you mean | 16:16 |
| xucore | maybe i should try on my laptop first? | 16:17 |
| brainwash_ | first you should check the log files, especially /var/log/lightdm/* | 16:17 |
| xucore | ok. i cannot get the system past this a start job is running for Wait to get to the log and alt fx is not giving me a terminal | 16:18 |
| xucore | and shift at restart did not seem to give me boot options, like recovery | 16:19 |
| brainwash_ | not being able to switch to another tty, that's odd | 16:19 |
| xucore | it switches, but, no > | 16:19 |
| xucore | so alt f1 shows me .7 aacpi pcc probe failed and starting version 219 | 16:20 |
| xucore | and f2-6 blank f7 the boot waiting screen | 16:20 |
| xucore | Sorry, not sure if I am giving enough info. really not sure what wiil help :) | 16:21 |
| brainwash_ | I'm not sure either. recovery/emergency mode would be the way to go, but it's not available in your case | 16:22 |
| xucore | right, is that because it is a core install? | 16:22 |
| brainwash_ | no, maybe you need to trigger it differently | 16:23 |
| xucore | ok. are there any common reasons light disply manager wont start? I am thinking of trying on my computer, maybe a virtualbox issue? | 16:24 |
| xucore | perhaps some xserver for the vbox not there? no idea, but appreciate your comments | 16:24 |
| brainwash_ | it could be specific to virtualbox, quite few problems are | 16:24 |
| xucore | ok. thanks. if it works on my bare metal then I know a vbox issue. Appreciate your time. | 16:25 |
| brainwash_ | an obvious suggestion is to search the internet (launchpad.net or just via google) | 16:26 |
| brainwash_ | I'm pretty sure that I read about similar cases | 16:26 |
| xucore | yes, tried that. and was limiting it to just recent dates, but, maybe i should broaden. I figured maybe a systemd issue? but will do | 16:27 |
| brainwash_ | good luck :) | 16:27 |
| xucore | thanks | 16:27 |
| roflbox | this is not specific to xubuntu, but what is a good rdp client for linux? | 16:28 |
| xucore | Hello @brainwash. FYI, found the issue for mini.iso install. it is a bug in launchpad. one must install whoopsie, apport and policy-1-kit then do the apt-get install xubuntu-core^ | 18:32 |
| * Unit193 scratches head. | 18:33 | |
| xucore | Just wanted to let you know and not sure if there is somewhere it should be posted to perhaps help others. | 18:33 |
| xucore | sorry unit193, did i stomp on your thread? | 18:35 |
| Unit193 | That doesn't make sense why those would need to be installed first, before the task. | 18:36 |
| xucore | do you want to see the bug report. sorry new here, had a convo with brainwash earlier | 18:37 |
| Unit193 | Please, yes. | 18:37 |
| Unit193 | I'll read backlog, may help. :P | 18:37 |
| xucore | from mini.iso the tasksel would not install it would fail and hang the machine | 18:37 |
| xucore | yes please i don have it all handy here | 18:37 |
| xucore | I got the same with the vivid-server-ppc64el.iso . The main point is that polkitd is not running. So a workaround for now is to install first policykit-1 and then other things. I'm digging more to found why the polkitd daemon doesn't get triggered. | 18:39 |
| xucore | sorryu | 18:39 |
| xucore | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1436448 | 18:39 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1436448 in apport (Ubuntu) "Error messages while installing apport package" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:40 |
| xucore | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/+bug/1443653 | 18:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1443653 in whoopsie (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 15.04 - Failed installation of ubuntu-desktop package (whoopsie package)" [Undecided,New] | 18:40 |
| xucore | at any rate, installed the packages as suggested and was able to successfully install xubuntu core from mini.iso | 18:41 |
| Unit193 | Annnnnd with that I removed everything I said, never tried on ppc. By default, policykit-1 is installed with xubuntu-core, but I'd think that may be a difference. We've only really tried amd64 and i386. | 18:41 |
| Unit193 | The deps should be the same, but... | 18:41 |
| xucore | I am not on powerpc, amd64 but was working in virtualbox guest with 14.04 host | 18:42 |

| Alina-malina | ah i am installing a xubuntu on my machine, but looks like i should install 64bit version now, i just realize it | 20:44 |
| xucore | @--> Unit193. Hello, was there any information or test you would like with regard to apt-get -d install xubuntu-core^ to a amd64mini.iso in a virtualbox install? I just did it again to verify which action fixed the problem for me. | 20:45 |
| xucore | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11119131/ | 20:45 |
| Alina-malina | ah looks like i have to install this again :-/ | 20:45 |
| xucore | sorry, should not be a -d in the command. | 20:46 |
| Unit193 | xucore: Nope, no idea. Never saw that one. Well, other than the workaround of course. | 20:47 |
| xucore | ok, would there be any place in particluar to post what worked for me in case someone else runs across it? | 20:52 |
| === Drone` is now known as Biliskner | ||
| xucore | Ok, I just did this a couple times to make sure. if there is any interest or someone comes across it again, perhaps they can be made available http://paste.ubuntu.com/11119456/ | 21:12 |
| xucore | no need for whoopsie or apport, that was a wrong trail. Thanks for the help and all you guys do. | 21:17 |
| Unit193 | Heh, well glad you got it. | 21:18 |
