[01:04] <acro458> Why is my cursor blinking when watching videos on firefox!!??!!??!?!!? It doesnt happen on any other browser!
[09:44] <BigEars431> i wonder how these ubuntu flavors will be when Ubuntu Unity takes its "commercial steps"
[10:25] <Akif> How to remove xubuntu as dual boot with windows?
[10:25] <Akif> do I just expand from windows the partition over xubuntu?
[10:25] <Akif> installed new SSD and switching my dual boot there, keeping only windows on the old hard drive
[10:26] <elfy> so you want to keep xubuntu on the ssd
[10:26] <Akif> I dont have it on ssd yet
[10:26] <Akif> only windows
[10:26] <Akif> but I have windows/xubuntu dual boot on old hard drive
[10:26] <Akif> I dont need the xubuntu there so I'm removing it
[10:27] <Akif> but yeah, gonna install it on this ssd at some point
[10:27] <elfy> right - so remove the partition and then install to SSD, if you remove BEFORE you even have the ssd - then you'll need to reinstall the windows booloader I would expect
[10:28] <elfy> personally in that situation I would wait until I could do it all at once
[10:28] <Akif> sorry, I didn't kinda get it
[10:28] <elfy> :)
[10:28] <Akif> so I remove the xubuntu partition from windows
[10:29] <elfy> that makes no sense to me
[10:30] <elfy> if you remove the existing xubuntu - you have to deal with the bootloader - which will then have to be the windows one
[10:30] <elfy> when you later install xubuntu to the ssd - then it will install grub again
[10:30] <Akif> so I should first somehow change to bootloader to the default windows one?
[10:31] <elfy> yes - with whatever windows install/restore media you have
[10:31] <Akif> I see
[10:32] <Akif> I'll try the "repair" option from my windows 8.1 USB stick
[10:32] <elfy> I guess - no idea I'm afraid
[10:33] <elfy> plenty of windows help out there on that
[10:33] <Akif> yea, but thanks!
[10:34] <elfy> welcome :)
[10:35] <elfy> https://neosmart.net/wiki/fix-mbr/#Fix_the_MBR_in_Windows_8_or_81
[10:36] <elfy> as I said - personally I'dwait till I had the ssd for xubuntu and then not worry about that
[10:37] <Akif> alright
[11:24] <Zerkalerka> Hey I deleted the default panel that comes with xubuntu, is there a way to get it back?  Just purge the panel package and reinstall?
[11:25] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, you know what you deleted?  reinstall it.
[11:37] <Zerkalerka> Yeah I created some of my own panels, deleted the default, but my indicator plugin doesn't show FCITX anymore
[11:37] <Zerkalerka> so my FCITX is all messed up and no longer shows the table when I type in other languages
[11:37] <Zerkalerka> was working fine until I deleted the default panel
[11:37] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, what version of *buntu?
[11:37] <Zerkalerka> xubuntu 15.04
[11:38] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[11:38] <cfhowlett> that'll bring the default xubuntu packages
[11:38] <Zerkalerka> kk let me try it
[11:39] <Zerkalerka> just says xubuntu-desktop is already installed
[11:40] <Zerkalerka> i don't need to reset everything :P just the panel
[11:40] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, sudo apt-get install xfce4
[11:40] <cfhowlett> desktop environment
[11:40] <Zerkalerka> could i just remove xfce-panel and reinstall that?
[11:40] <Zerkalerka> xfce4-panel
[11:40] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, "could"?  I thought you DID
[11:41] <Zerkalerka> haha no, I mean in the panel properties
[11:41] <cfhowlett> dpkg -l | grep xfce*         will list your packages
[11:41] <Zerkalerka> i just deleted the default panel that comes inside , then created my own panels
[11:41] <Zerkalerka> i didn't remove the package
[11:41] <Zerkalerka> just when I was customizing the panel :P
[11:41] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, panel.  so you didn't remove packages
[11:42] <Zerkalerka> yeah, cause the indicator plugin no longer works properly
[11:42] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, removing and reinstalling xfce-panel will not restore your panels but ...
[11:42] <cfhowlett> nuclear option incoming
[11:42] <Zerkalerka> and it makes it so the FCITX no longer works
[11:42] <Zerkalerka> FCITX is the language input
[11:42] <Zerkalerka> love nuclear options :P
[11:43] <cfhowlett> delete your .hidden xfce configurations.  logout/logiin and it'll go back to factory fresh.
[11:43] <Zerkalerka> ahh good idea
[11:43] <Zerkalerka> they should be in home directory right
[11:43] <Zerkalerka> errno
[11:44] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, yeah.  You could go all out and delete all hidden .folders and .files
[11:45] <brainwash> only delete ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml
[11:45] <brainwash> and probably the content of ~/.config/xfce4/panel too
[11:46] <cfhowlett> ^^^^ Zerkalerka ^^^^
[11:46] <Zerkalerka> ok
[11:46] <Zerkalerka> then after that remove and install the xfce4-panel package to get default config back?
[11:47] <brainwash> no, relog
[11:48] <Zerkalerka> kk
[11:48] <Zerkalerka> brb
[11:51] <Zerkalerka> ok perfect that worked great, very strange though.. I relog in and FCITX is in the panel again.. and after about 3 seconds it just vanished
[11:55] <brainwash> can you restart it manually?
[11:56] <brainwash> the session log file may contain some hint
[11:56] <brainwash> look at ~/.cache/upstart/startxfce4.log
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> oh nice
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> restarting it
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> worked
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> i wonder if thats all I needed to do to make it work in the first place..
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> looool
[11:57] <Zerkalerka> never even thought of that
[11:58] <Zerkalerka> thank you for the help... was just having brain freeze on how to fix
[11:58] <brainwash> maybe some race condition on session start triggers this behavior
[11:59] <Zerkalerka> yah cause now in the settings of FCITX I can click on appearance and it allows me to edit it.. where as before it just said Kimpanel did not exsist
[12:00] <brainwash> FCITX does not seem to be widely used among Xubuntu users, so I haven't seen a bug report about such an issue yet
[12:00] <Zerkalerka> ohh everyone still using dbus? I thought I read something where in 15.04 xubuntu switched to fcitx
[12:01] <Zerkalerka> err ibus
[12:01] <brainwash> you mean ibus
[12:01] <brainwash> neither
[12:01] <brainwash> xubuntu got rid of ibus in 14.04
[12:01] <brainwash> without a real replacement
[12:02] <someone235> Hi, I followed this guide: http://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:HOW-TO:Set_up_audio_over_HDMI_on_nVidia_GeForce/nForce_controller but now I can have sound only on hdmi. Someone knows how to fix this?
[12:03] <Zerkalerka> ohh makes sense
[12:03] <Zerkalerka> ok thanks brainwash and cfhowlett
[12:03] <cfhowlett> Zerkalerka, happy2help!
[12:03] <brainwash> someone235: I suggest that you ask in #alsa and/or #pulseaudio
[12:05] <brainwash> someone235: there may be a working solution with pulseaudio
[15:25] <sleezio> ugh, installed 15.04 yesterday, nonstop freezing/crashing, went back to 14.10
[16:28] <lattice> does xubuntu support envent sounds ?
[16:31] <pontiki> wondering if anyone has installed xubuntu on a toshiba kirabook, or have heard about any issues with it
[16:34] <sleezio> lattice, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2156763
[16:34] <pencilandpaper> yes it does lattice .
[16:35] <pencilandpaper> if you go in to settings manager, its in either apperance, window mananger, or window manager tweaks.
[17:34] <pie_> How can I make boot faster?
[17:39] <baizon> pie_: which version of xubuntu?
[17:39] <baizon> with 15.04 and systemd my boot process is twice as fast :)
[17:40] <baizon> and my shutdown is 0.7 sec
[17:43] <pie_> hm, how do i make bootchart run? :/
[17:45] <pie_> hm i think i got it
[17:46] <Unit193> sudo systemd-analyze plot > system.svg
[17:47] <pie_> ah
[17:48] <pie_> oh right this is systemd now...
[17:48] <pie_> oooooh boy
[17:49] <Unit193> Or just do a systemd-analyze blame.
[17:50] <pie_> and how do i figure out what I need to speed up...?
[20:32] <sunrunner20> so, whenever I try to boot the latest LTS version of the ubuntu live cd on this machine it hangs at a black screen after GRUB
[20:32] <holstein> !nomodeset
[20:32] <sunrunner20> is there a list of troubleshooting steps/a way to show whats goin on
[20:32] <holstein> thats where i start.. ^ GPU driver
[20:34] <sunrunner20> i'll give it a whirl
[20:34] <holstein> i'll also simply try the different versions, live.. 15.04, for example.. and note kernel versions and drivers.. etc
[20:36] <sunrunner20> be back in a bit
[20:59] <sunrunner20> no dice holstein
[20:59] <holstein> sunrunner20: ?
[20:59] <sunrunner20> nomodeset didn't help
[20:59] <sunrunner20> neither did any of the acpi options
[21:00] <holstein> sunrunner20: are you saying, you tried nomodeset with the 14.04 live iso? and you still have a black screen?
[21:00] <sunrunner20> yup
[21:00] <sunrunner20> i see two lines of console text flick past too fast to see then nothing
[21:00] <holstein> anyways, depending on your history with that particular device, i would be checking that the hardware works.. i would test the memory, and see the GPU working in an officially supported OS
[21:00] <holstein> thenb, i might try installing the server version, or mini version
[21:00] <sunrunner20> i'm talking on that machine now :)
[21:00] <holstein> !mini
[21:01] <holstein> sunrunner20: sure, its just that, as a volunteer in the channel, i dont know what you are talking on, friend.. so, i can only give you suggestions..
[21:01] <holstein> do with them what you want
[21:01] <sunrunner20> didn't mean it that way
[21:01] <sunrunner20> i'll look into the gpu some more though
[21:01] <holstein> but, *if* you are satisfied that the hardware is not "broken", then, i would move on to getting *something* installed, and then, i could implement the vesa driver, if needed
[21:02] <holstein> your hardware doenst promise linux support, likely, so you can have a challenge in some cases implememting it
[21:03] <holstein> before i went too far, i would just try some live iso's.
[21:03] <sunrunner20> i've tried fedora's as well
[21:03] <sunrunner20> same issue
[21:03] <holstein> 15.04 has completely different drivers, and kernel..
[21:03] <sunrunner20> lemmie burn that then
[21:03] <holstein> sunrunner20: sure.. but, what im saying is, note the kernel version, and drivers..
[21:04] <holstein> sunrunner20: you *could* have likely tried the *same* linux.. in fedora and ubuntu
[21:04] <holstein> trying *different* drivers, in different kernels *can* in some cases support the hardware
[21:05] <holstein> could be, a proprietary driver is available that you can install from the terminal, after installing the OS, if you want to share what GPU hardware you have.. maybe a volunteer can parse if that is possible..
[21:05] <sunrunner20> its a gtx 960
[21:05] <sunrunner20> and I think that is the issue
[21:06] <sunrunner20> forum post says nomodeset worked  for them :\
[21:08] <sunrunner20> though "nouveau.blacklist=1" as a grub paramter might be part of it
[21:09] <holstein> sunrunner20: try iut
[21:09] <holstein> it*
[21:09] <holstein> sunrunner20: that *is* the issue as i see it.. your graphics hardware is not supporting linux
