[02:20] <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?
[10:35] <xubuntu60w> i cant download google crome......any help would be helpful.....
[10:38] <bazhang> https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html xubuntu60w
[10:40] <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?
[10:41]  * 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
[10:42] <xnox> ok, removed, now what? logout/login?
[10:42] <xubuntu60w> correction.....i cant install crome.....
[10:42] <cfhowlett> xnox, yep
[10:43] <bazhang> !info crome
[10:43] <cfhowlett> !info chrome
[10:43] <bazhang> xubuntu60w, the google one is cHrome
[10:44] <bazhang> xubuntu60w, and I just gave you the link
[10:44] <bazhang> did you mean chromium
[10:52] <xnox> hm, the transitions are bed
[10:52] <xnox> e.g. i see a lot of sreen flicker between desktop -> locked transition
[10:53] <Unit193> Using late locking?
[10:53] <xnox> ?
[10:53] <xnox> light locker yes
[10:54] <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.
[11:49] <DomiX> hi
[11:51] <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 ?
[12:03] <DomiX> after removing "quiet splash" and adding "nomodeset" in grub I can boot but the display does not use all screen size
[12:08] <bekks> DomiX: Thats expected, since you have to install the correct graphics drivers now.
[12:10] <DomiX> I see in additional driver, there is an unknow device, I just select it to use intel-microcode
[12:10] <DomiX> brb
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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.
[12:17] <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.
[12:18] <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
[12:20] <bekks> So you actually see a graphical environment?
[12:20] <DomiX> yes but only if I set nomodeset in grub
[12:21] <bekks> Yes, thats required.
[12:21] <DomiX> xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed
[12:21] <DomiX> 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.1
[12:27] <DomiX> reading /var/log/apt/history.log, last package updated was linux-*-.3.19.0-17
[12:28] <DomiX> http://pastebin.com/dM2JTCca
[12:34] <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
[12:35] <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
[12:36] <brainwash> but you did end up with a pre-release update
[12:36] <DomiX> too bad :(
[12:37] <DomiX> it's enabled vivid-proposed
[12:38] <brainwash> bug 1453593
[12:38] <brainwash> bug 1453542
[12:40] <DomiX> indeed it sounds like the same bug
[12:41] <DomiX> I'm running an old laptop and there is no more bios upgrade
[12:42] <brainwash> first, you should revert to version -16
[12:44] <DomiX> how ? in grub ?
[12:45] <brainwash> purge -17 and reinstall -16 if necessary
[12:45] <DomiX> sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.19.0-17-generic ?
[12:46] <brainwash> I guess so. Did you disable the -proposed repository?
[12:47] <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
[12:48] <brainwash> simpleuser: disable window previews in settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab
[12:49] <brainwash> generating the previews for the alt tab switcher can be slow sometimes
[12:49] <brainwash> especially if you have many windows open
[12:50] <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 ;)
[12:51] <simpleuser> Actually it's quite random. Strange.
[14:07] <LambdaFox> hello, xubuntu
[14:07] <LambdaFox> i have a question about using xubuntu-core install
[14:08] <LambdaFox> on ubuntu 14.04 LTS will xubuntu-core^ install xfce 4.10 or 4.12 components?
[14:10] <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?
[14:11] <LambdaFox> web upd8 says it only works for full xubuntu
[14:11] <cfhowlett> LambdaFox, with PPA?  presumably.
[14:13] <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!
[14:15] <LambdaFox> i have a post in ubuntu forums.  no one seems to know.  look there for follow up lol
[14:16] <cfhowlett> LambdaFox, that would seem to indicate you're looking at the final frontier.
[14:22] <brainwash> LambdaFox: xubuntu-core is not available for 14.04
[15:12] <LambdaFox> installing minimal install iso for 14.04, there is no "xubuntu minimal" software selection
[15:13] <LambdaFox> letting the install proceed and getting to the initial prompt, apt errors trying to find ubuntu-re
[15:13] <LambdaFox> oops ubuntu-core
[15:14] <LambdaFox> installing software-properties-common results in the same
[15:15] <xangua> xubuntu minimal¿
[15:17] <holstein> LambdaFox: you can just install xfce
[15:17] <xangua> !info xfce4
[15:53] <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"?
[16:05] <brainwash> drc: you can install both
[16:05] <drc> danke
[16:07] <drc> It'll be interesting to see if t-bird+engmail+gnupg2 will automagically integrate.
[16:08] <brainwash> you will have to point it to the gnupg2 executable
[16:10] <drc> Actually it looks like it did automagically find gnupg2  https://i.imgur.com/k35KFvN.png
[16:11] <drc> and the warning no longer appears.
[16:13] <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.
[16:14] <brainwash_> puff: Alt + scroll wheel
[16:16] <puff> brainwash_: Ah, thanks!
[16:16] <puff> brainwash_: Man that was annoying!
[16:17] <brainwash_> puff: most users discover this feature by accident :)
[16:19] <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...
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <bazhang> what version
[17:01] <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] <itpan> !upgrade
[17:01] <bazhang> !eolupgrades
[17:02] <bazhang> the last link if you wish to do it all online
[17:05] <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?
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <drc> itpan: it's in /etc/apt/
[17:10] <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.
[17:11] <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
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <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.....
[17:16] <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.
[17:17]  * drc notes his eye/finger coordination is off today :(
[17:19] <drc> itpan: You could also try the new xubuntu-core (~600mgb)...more work at the end adding and configuring, but less time dl'ing.
[17:22] <drc> http://xubuntu.org/news/introducing-xubuntu-core/  try the iso linked at the bottom.
[17:25] <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).
[17:58] <tj88> hello
[17:59] <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.
[18:00] <drc> Use pidgin (It's the default app) + what krytarik said.
[18:00] <tj88> ok, thanks
[18:01] <tj88> I'll be back after installation :D
[18:18] <tj88> hello everyone
[18:18] <tj88> I've found the chat back :)
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <tj88> does anybody know how i can find the right resolution for my notebook and apply it?
[18:25] <tj88> does anyone know where to start looking for a solution?
[18:33] <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 :)
[18:35] <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*
[18:39] <tj88> thanks anyway, I'll take another look on the web... who knows there has been posted something new meanwhile
[18:40] <tj88> have a good day/evening/night whatever part of the world you may be
[18:40] <tj88> bye
[20:38] <xubuntu68w> I am disepointed for this bug still is not fixed the last year(s). I belev that e new version fixed this bug. Will it be fixed in an update ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1319187
[21:13] <WolfpupL> i need some help with getting x11vnc to work on my laptop that had been upgraded to 15.04 from 14.04
[21:15] <WolfpupL> i had it running and even auto starting on the laptop when xubuntu 14.04 was installed but after the upgrade i can't get x11vnc to autostart and i have done every thing that i hade doen orginaly
[21:16] <koegs> WolfpupL: how did you do it originally?
[21:17] <WolfpupL> i had folowed an article for setting it up that i have found on the web but i followed those same steps but it will not auto start on 15.04
[21:18] <WolfpupL> here is the article -> https://prismsoul.wordpress.com/2014/06/11/installing-and-configuring-x11vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04/
[21:19] <koegs> i think this no longer works because of systemd
[21:21] <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
[21:34] <De> hi all. i have installed MAME but it does not open. don't know why. anyone knows and can help, plz?
[21:38] <WolfpupL> koegs if im only acceing my lapttop via my local network do i need the -enablehttpproxy or the flags = IPv6 ?
[21:42] <De> how-to update from 14.04 to 15.04 on terminal?
[21:45] <WolfpupL> i made me a usb loader to do that
[21:46] <WolfpupL> Koegs that did not work either
[21:46] <WolfpupL> i just rebooted my laptop and no vnc connection is active
[21:48] <koegs> WolfpupL: can you connect via vnc?
[21:48] <WolfpupL> nope
[21:49] <WolfpupL> ill have to goto the laptop and manualy start the servce
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <WolfpupL> and the vnc viewer has a black screen
[22:02] <koegs> WolfpupL: this is what i us http://paste.ubuntu.com/11136953/
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <WolfpupL> i need it to run all the time
[22:08] <koegs> it is only started if somebody connects on port 5900
[22:09] <WolfpupL> and i have a vnc viewer that connects via that port but i get a connection refused message in the viewer
[22:10] <WolfpupL> and even if i try to reconnect i still get the message
[22:11] <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
[22:16] <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
[22:19] <WolfpupL> there is not /var/log/x11vnc.log
[22:24] <koegs> then x11vnc wasnt even started by xinetd
[22:25] <genii> ew inetd
[22:29] <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
[22:35] <koegs> works for me
[22:37] <WolfpupL> that did not work either for me
[22:38] <koegs> then you are really doing something wrong
[22:40] <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
[22:41] <WolfpupL> woops it is spelled wrong
[23:28] <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
