| williebuntu | Hello! I was wondering if there was a way to uninstall apps, directly through the Applications Menu in Xubuntu by right clicking, somewhat like the option to uninstall in the Unity desktop. Is there a way to enable this? | 02:20 |

| xubuntu60w | i cant download google crome......any help would be helpful..... | 10:35 |
| bazhang | https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html xubuntu60w | 10:38 |
| xnox | heya | 10:40 |
| xnox | i've upgraded to xubuntu from unity on 15.04 | 10:40 |
| xnox | somehow i get xscreensaver instead of light locker.... | 10:40 |
| xnox | how can i use light-locker without any screensavers? | 10:40 |
| * xnox wants to display to turn off to save power and upon activation just see the light-locker | 10:41 | |
| cfhowlett | xnox, xcreensaver is known to conflict with light-dm. xfce.org recommends removing xscreensaver as of 14.04 | 10:41 |
| xnox | ok, removed, now what? logout/login? | 10:42 |
| xubuntu60w | correction.....i cant install crome..... | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett | xnox, yep | 10:42 |
| bazhang | !info crome | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | !info chrome | 10:43 |
| ubottu | Package crome does not exist in vivid | 10:43 |
| ubottu | Package chrome does not exist in vivid | 10:43 |
| bazhang | xubuntu60w, the google one is cHrome | 10:43 |
| bazhang | xubuntu60w, and I just gave you the link | 10:44 |
| bazhang | did you mean chromium | 10:44 |
| xnox | hm, the transitions are bed | 10:52 |
| xnox | e.g. i see a lot of sreen flicker between desktop -> locked transition | 10:52 |
| Unit193 | Using late locking? | 10:53 |
| xnox | ? | 10:53 |
| xnox | light locker yes | 10:53 |
| brainwash | xnox: light-locker has some drawbacks, mainly due to the VT switch when locking the screen | 10:54 |
| Unit193 | Late locking was supposed to help with some of that, I don't use it though so can't say. | 10:54 |
| DomiX | hi | 11:49 |
| DomiX | my xubuntu 15.04 does not correctly with kernel 3.19.0-17, I only see a black screen (after 10mintues) but I boot in recovery mode then proceed the start it boots correctly, any idea ? | 11:51 |
| DomiX | after removing "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset" in grub I can boot but the display does not use all screen size | 12:03 |
| bekks | DomiX: Thats expected, since you have to install the correct graphics drivers now. | 12:08 |
| DomiX | I see in additional driver, there is an unknow device, I just select it to use intel-microcode | 12:10 |
| DomiX | brb | 12:10 |
| DomiX | bekks, I do not understand why it worked before like a charm | 12:15 |
| bekks | We dont know what you have done after "it worked like a charm". | 12:15 |
| DomiX | installing intel-microcode did not resolve issue | 12:15 |
| bekks | intel-microcode isnt a graphics driver. | 12:15 |
| DomiX | update software | 12:15 |
| bekks | Updated which software? Which GPU do you have? | 12:16 |
| DomiX | using linux 3.19.0-15 works | 12:16 |
| bekks | Thats a kernel. Not a graphics driver. | 12:16 |
| DomiX | yes but using the actually linux 3.19.0-17 do not work | 12:17 |
| bekks | What "does not work" about it? | 12:17 |
| DomiX | I only have a black screen | 12:17 |
| bekks | Because you are lacking a graphics driver. | 12:17 |
| bekks | Thats what I said above. | 12:18 |
| bekks | Which GPU do you have? | 12:18 |
| DomiX | VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller | 12:18 |
| DomiX | from lspci | 12:18 |
| bekks | So you actually see a graphical environment? | 12:20 |
| DomiX | yes but only if I set nomodeset in grub | 12:20 |
| bekks | Yes, thats required. | 12:21 |
| DomiX | xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed | 12:21 |
| DomiX | 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.1 | 12:21 |
| DomiX | reading /var/log/apt/history.log, last package updated was linux-*-.3.19.0-17 | 12:27 |
| DomiX | http://pastebin.com/dM2JTCca | 12:28 |
| brainwash | DomiX: 3.19.0-17.17 is only available in -proposed. if you encounter some regression with this version, please file a bug report | 12:34 |
| DomiX | dunno what is -proposed | 12:35 |
| brainwash | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed | 12:35 |
| DomiX | I don't remember selecting something like this | 12:35 |
| brainwash | but you did end up with a pre-release update | 12:36 |
| DomiX | too bad :( | 12:36 |
| DomiX | it's enabled vivid-proposed | 12:37 |

| DomiX | indeed it sounds like the same bug | 12:40 |
| DomiX | I'm running an old laptop and there is no more bios upgrade | 12:41 |
| brainwash | first, you should revert to version -16 | 12:42 |
| DomiX | how ? in grub ? | 12:44 |
| brainwash | purge -17 and reinstall -16 if necessary | 12:45 |
| DomiX | sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.19.0-17-generic ? | 12:45 |
| brainwash | I guess so. Did you disable the -proposed repository? | 12:46 |
| brainwash | otherwise -17 may be reinstalled automatically | 12:47 |
| DomiX | yes | 12:47 |
| simpleuser | Hi there. My alt tab is quite slow… Do you have the same problem? | 12:47 |
| brainwash | simpleuser: in 15.04? | 12:47 |
| DomiX | brainwash, let me try a reboot, brb | 12:47 |
| simpleuser | brainwash: yes | 12:47 |
| brainwash | simpleuser: disable window previews in settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab | 12:48 |
| brainwash | generating the previews for the alt tab switcher can be slow sometimes | 12:49 |
| brainwash | especially if you have many windows open | 12:49 |
| DomiX | brainwash, it works as expected now, thx :) | 12:50 |
| simpleuser | brainwash: Thanks! | 12:50 |
| brainwash | great :) | 12:50 |
| brainwash | awesome :D | 12:50 |
| simpleuser | A bit better | 12:50 |
| simpleuser | Still a bit slow, but much better ;) | 12:50 |
| simpleuser | Actually it's quite random. Strange. | 12:51 |
| LambdaFox | hello, xubuntu | 14:07 |
| LambdaFox | i have a question about using xubuntu-core install | 14:07 |
| LambdaFox | on ubuntu 14.04 LTS will xubuntu-core^ install xfce 4.10 or 4.12 components? | 14:08 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaFox, pretty sure it'll be 4.10 as that's what's current in 14.04.2, but I could be wrong. | 14:10 |
| LambdaFox | that was my guess also. can the xubuntu dev ppa be used to update it? | 14:10 |
| LambdaFox | web upd8 says it only works for full xubuntu | 14:11 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaFox, with PPA? presumably. | 14:11 |
| LambdaFox | i am hoping ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 will work tho | 14:13 |
| LambdaFox | has anyone tried it? | 14:13 |
| cfhowlett | no idea. perhaps you can be the pioneer and write it up! | 14:13 |
| LambdaFox | i have a post in ubuntu forums. no one seems to know. look there for follow up lol | 14:15 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaFox, that would seem to indicate you're looking at the final frontier. | 14:16 |
| brainwash | LambdaFox: xubuntu-core is not available for 14.04 | 14:22 |
| LambdaFox | installing minimal install iso for 14.04, there is no "xubuntu minimal" software selection | 15:12 |
| LambdaFox | letting the install proceed and getting to the initial prompt, apt errors trying to find ubuntu-re | 15:13 |
| LambdaFox | oops ubuntu-core | 15:13 |
| LambdaFox | installing software-properties-common results in the same | 15:14 |
| xangua | xubuntu minimal¿ | 15:15 |
| holstein | LambdaFox: you can just install xfce | 15:17 |
| xangua | !info xfce4 | 15:17 |

| drc | Using enigmail+thunderbird (in 15.04) brought up the following https://i.imgur.com/cIuDBBZ.png . gnupg2 is in the repos. Has anyone replaced gnupg 1.4.18 with gnupg2? Does one "replace" (delete and add) or simply add? Any known "gotchas"? | 15:53 |
| brainwash | drc: you can install both | 16:05 |
| drc | danke | 16:05 |
| drc | It'll be interesting to see if t-bird+engmail+gnupg2 will automagically integrate. | 16:07 |
| brainwash | you will have to point it to the gnupg2 executable | 16:08 |
| drc | Actually it looks like it did automagically find gnupg2 https://i.imgur.com/k35KFvN.png | 16:10 |
| drc | and the warning no longer appears. | 16:11 |
| puff | I'm on xubuntu 14.04 LTS, XFCE. I hit some sort of hot key and now a) my desktop is slightly larger than my screen, b) when I move my mouse around, the desktop image (wndows, everything) moves shifts around in the opposite direction. | 16:13 |
| brainwash_ | puff: Alt + scroll wheel | 16:14 |
| puff | brainwash_: Ah, thanks! | 16:16 |
| puff | brainwash_: Man that was annoying! | 16:16 |
| brainwash_ | puff: most users discover this feature by accident :) | 16:17 |
| LambdaFox | i installed the components of xfce and was able to update them using the dev ppa woo hoo. i will update my progress today on my forums post... | 16:19 |
| itpan | Hey guys, I'm running an older unsupported version of xubuntu (been on the shelf a while) and I'd like to upgrade it to a supported release. Any way I can do that without doing a reinstall with an ISO? I keep getting 'cannot contact server' messages when I try to update anything | 16:59 |
| bazhang | what version | 17:00 |
| itpan | How do I check exactly? I have console window open but I don't know too much about those type commands | 17:01 |
| itpan | raring ringtail? | 17:01 |
| bazhang | lsb_release -a | 17:01 |
| bazhang | !raring | 17:01 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 17:01 |
| itpan | !upgrade | 17:01 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 17:01 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | 17:01 |
| ubottu | End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 17:01 |
| bazhang | the last link if you wish to do it all online | 17:02 |
| itpan | ok, so it is possible to do this without downloading a new ISO? I can cahnge the sources list? | 17:05 |
| itpan | where do I find sources.list? | 17:05 |
| itpan | i get an upgrade option and then it vanishes o.o | 17:08 |
| itpan | I type root password, click accept, then upgrade and a window pops up and then vanishes | 17:08 |
| drc | itpan: it's in /etc/apt/ | 17:09 |
| drc | now that I think about it it't in 15.04...not sure in 13.04, but it's bount to be somewhere in /etc :) | 17:10 |
| itpan | i'm going to take it from 13.04 ro 13.10 and past I guess haha. | 17:10 |
| drc | Interesting that the instructions don't say, maybe it changes from version to version? | 17:11 |
| itpan | update just errors out with: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'window_main | 17:11 |
| itpan | saying upgrade failed and there may be a network | 17:11 |
| drc | itpan: It's going to be a pain to upgrade from 13.04 (assuming you solve this problem) Is there any reason that you <can't> dl and install a new iso? It would be so much easier :) | 17:14 |
| itpan | it'd just take freaking ages to download | 17:14 |
| itpan | I was hoping to skip the hassle of download, burn, and then install over just hitting update and leaving it alone for a few hours | 17:14 |
| drc | It will take "freaking ages" to upgrade also. | 17:15 |
| drc | itpan: now way...you' | 17:15 |
| drc | ll have to upgrade to 13.10, then upgrade to 14.04, then..... | 17:15 |
| drc | IN this case, I really would spend the time dl'ing...that way you should avoid all the :gotcha's" that might pop up. | 17:16 |
| * drc notes his eye/finger coordination is off today :( | 17:17 | |
| drc | itpan: You could also try the new xubuntu-core (~600mgb)...more work at the end adding and configuring, but less time dl'ing. | 17:19 |
| drc | http://xubuntu.org/news/introducing-xubuntu-core/ try the iso linked at the bottom. | 17:22 |
| drc | or, if dl'ing time is really that big a problem, you can try the mini-iso linked...but I'd suggest that only if you're sure you know what you're doing (no disrespect intended). | 17:25 |
| tj88 | hello | 17:58 |
| tj88 | I'm right now installing xubuntu, and followed a link i got in the installer. Can anyone tell me how to to find this chat back after installation? | 17:59 |
| krytarik | tj88: It's #xubuntu on Freenode. | 17:59 |
| drc | Use pidgin (It's the default app) + what krytarik said. | 18:00 |
| tj88 | ok, thanks | 18:00 |
| tj88 | I'll be back after installation :D | 18:01 |
| tj88 | hello everyone | 18:18 |
| tj88 | I've found the chat back :) | 18:18 |
| tj88 | Well, now my question... I have a problem with my screen resolution. On my other computer I could solve it with the xrandr command, but on this computer i got no response when i enter that in terminal | 18:19 |
| tj88 | does anybody know how i can find the right resolution for my notebook and apply it? | 18:20 |
| tj88 | does anyone know where to start looking for a solution? | 18:25 |
| drc | tj88: I have never had any resolution problems so I have no real help to give, but I'd start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution If you already know all this, sorry :) | 18:33 |
| tj88 | well, than i still need the xrandr outcome... if i put that in the terminal, i get this: | 18:35 |
| tj88 | xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default | 18:35 |
| tj88 | Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480 | 18:35 |
| tj88 | default connected 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm | 18:35 |
| tj88 | 640x480 73.0* | 18:35 |
| tj88 | thanks anyway, I'll take another look on the web... who knows there has been posted something new meanwhile | 18:39 |
| tj88 | have a good day/evening/night whatever part of the world you may be | 18:40 |
| tj88 | bye | 18:40 |

| WolfpupL | here is the article -> https://prismsoul.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/installing-and-configuring-x11vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04/ | 21:18 |
| koegs | i think this no longer works because of systemd | 21:19 |
| WolfpupL | is there a work around to get it working as i want to use my laptop remotelt and do not want to have to start x11vnc everytime i turn on the laptop | 21:21 |
| koegs | i am using xinetd now http://unquietwiki.blogspot.be/2012/03/another-way-to-use-vnc-with-ubuntu.html | 21:21 |
| De | hi all. i have installed MAME but it does not open. don't know why. anyone knows and can help, plz? | 21:34 |
| WolfpupL | koegs if im only acceing my lapttop via my local network do i need the -enablehttpproxy or the flags = IPv6 ? | 21:38 |
| De | how-to update from 14.04 to 15.04 on terminal? | 21:42 |
| WolfpupL | i made me a usb loader to do that | 21:45 |
| WolfpupL | Koegs that did not work either | 21:46 |
| WolfpupL | i just rebooted my laptop and no vnc connection is active | 21:46 |
| koegs | WolfpupL: can you connect via vnc? | 21:48 |
| WolfpupL | nope | 21:48 |
| WolfpupL | ill have to goto the laptop and manualy start the servce | 21:49 |
| WolfpupL | ok this is weird i just loged into my laptop after manualy starting x11vnc and i got this here in Hexchat * Servicing ident request from 192.168.1.103 as Wolfpup | 21:51 |
| WolfpupL | and the vnc viewer has a black screen | 21:52 |
| koegs | WolfpupL: this is what i us http://paste.ubuntu.com/11136953/ | 22:02 |
| WolfpupL | koegs i just rebooted my laptop and it is aotu loged into the settings but x11vnc is not active | 22:07 |
| koegs | WolfpupL: with xinetd x11vnc does not run all the time | 22:07 |
| WolfpupL | i need it to run all the time | 22:08 |
| koegs | it is only started if somebody connects on port 5900 | 22:08 |
| WolfpupL | and i have a vnc viewer that connects via that port but i get a connection refused message in the viewer | 22:09 |
| WolfpupL | and even if i try to reconnect i still get the message | 22:10 |
| Guest27653 | well someone put in a suggestion of "always combine, hide labels" like you can in windows 7 and i guess ubuntu unity can i guess tho it has that dumb bar at the top okay thanks bye | 22:11 |
| koegs | WolfpupL: hm, make sure that xinetd runs and that you have that file /etc/xinetd.d/x11vnc | 22:16 |
| koegs | and maybe check /var/log/x11vnc.log | 22:16 |
| WolfpupL | there is not /var/log/x11vnc.log | 22:19 |
| koegs | then x11vnc wasnt even started by xinetd | 22:24 |
| genii | ew inetd | 22:25 |
| koegs | will try that :D | 22:29 |
| koegs | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#Have_x11vnc_start_automatically_via_systemd_in_any_environment_.28Vivid.2B-.29 | 22:29 |
| koegs | works for me | 22:35 |
| WolfpupL | that did not work either for me | 22:37 |
| koegs | then you are really doing something wrong | 22:38 |
| koegs | do you have /home/USERNAME/.vnc/passwd or is your x11vnc-passwd file located somewhere else? | 22:40 |
| WolfpupL | iit is etc/x11vnc.password | 22:40 |
| WolfpupL | woops it is spelled wrong | 22:41 |
| WolfpupL | koegs i just found an article that has a comment that indicates that the normal(that way i had been doing x11vnc) had been nullified in version15.04 | 23:28 |
