[02:26] <Redcap> Anyone know how to get an Acer 84-key keyboard to be properly mapped under Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS?

[06:53] <superbox> no more virual machines :D
[08:15] <freiform> Hi.
[08:18] <freiform> Anyone familiar with windows7 windows shortcuts for moving windows? pressing META-<right arrow>, a window cycles: left half of screen, right half, then to the left half of a 2nd screen, right half of a 2nd screen, and repeat. Is there a way to mimic that behaviour using XFCE or another tiling manager? I can configure XFCE to put my windows into certain areas of the screen, but I am missing this cycling.
[10:01] <bazhang> try #xcfe perhaps
[10:01] <bazhang> err reverse that
[10:01] <bazhang> xFce
[10:07] <stevenm> Hi, anyone here use catfish? and have you noticed it doesn't seem to use 'locate' like *at all* ?
[11:29] <sorinb> Hello. Is there any way to change certain appearance settings colors ?
[11:30] <sorinb> I'm in the Appearance menu from settings, but I don't see where can I change the colors so I can use my custom colors
[11:33] <freiform> sorinb, there are a couple of settings in 'Theme Configuration'
[11:36] <sorinb> thanks freiform
[12:06] <sorinb> freiform, any idea how can I add more options to the Indicator plugin from Panel Items ? I have none there, but I should have Date, Sound, etc
[12:07] <freiform> sorinb, is the indicator plugin active?
[12:07] <sorinb> yes
[12:07] <sorinb> freiform, I have skype, mesages and,sound
[12:08] <sorinb> but for example I'd like to have  "Application Menus (Global Menus)" there
[12:08] <freiform> also network, bluetooth..
[12:08] <sorinb> nope, those are not visible there
[12:08] <freiform> Isn't that independent from the indicator plugin?
[12:08] <sorinb> nope
[12:08] <freiform> just add new items to the panel
[12:08] <sorinb> freiform, http://i.stack.imgur.com/7hcKs.png
[12:09] <sorinb> a lot from this list I don;;t have. But I am interested in Application Menus
[12:09] <sorinb> there are some sort of plugins for the Indicators plugin
[12:10] <freiform> good questions, i also don't have them .
[12:10] <sorinb> freiform, the screenshot is taken from http://askubuntu.com/questions/563326/how-to-get-the-normal-xubuntu-xfce-panel-indicator
[12:10] <sorinb> oddly, I have an instance of Xubuntu that HAS them :))
[12:11] <sorinb> but doesn't seem I installed something custom/specific/additional
[12:13] <freiform> sorinb, on the same box?
[12:16] <sorinb> freiform, no, another box
[12:18] <freiform> sorinb, a) maybe compare installed packages or b) is it possible to start an associated application one time for the corresponding indicator plugin gets loaded?
[12:18] <sorinb> freiform, odd thing is that, if you ACCIDENTALLY click on "Clear known indicators" .. you're screwed. THen what ? :)
[12:19] <sorinb> That button does more harm there than good
[12:20] <freiform> sorinb, i also don't understand the concept behind it. or at least it's usage. i guess it's supposed to mimic the windows notification area, but that one is far more intuitive.
[12:20] <freiform> sorinb, take a look at https://pseudomorph.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/xfce-notification-a/
[12:47] <sorinb> freiform,: reading
[12:51] <sorinb> freiform, : oddly, on neither of the machines Indicator Application was NOT checked to auto start
[12:51] <sorinb> I have checked it now and rebooted, see what happens
[12:52] <freiform> good luck ;)
[12:56] <sorinb> freiform, : no luck, I have no additional options in the Indicators plugin :(
[12:57] <freiform> strange indeed.
[13:00] <sorinb> freiform, : basically what I want is to have the Firefox menu in the panel bar...
[13:02] <xubuntu715> portugal anyone
[13:04] <xubuntu715> does xubuntu supports compiz fusion
[13:04] <xubuntu715> ?
[14:21] <hoodedice> Hello. I want to print an image without installing another image viewer, and without using firefox, because firefox puts these headers that I don't want on my image and without using an image manipulation program, because I'm an end user, and end users are stupid.
[14:23] <holstein> hoodedice: i would save the image locally, and use *something* to manipulate the image..
[14:23] <hoodedice> holstein, SURPRISE! The image is on my local drive.
[14:23] <holstein> there are online services for that that i have seen where you can give them a URL to the image, edit it, and download the result
[14:23] <hoodedice> hols, the image is local in .jpeg
[14:24] <holstein> i would literally right click on the image, open it in whatever "viewer" i have installed, and print it
[14:24] <hoodedice> the point is - ristretto does not have a print function
[14:24] <hoodedice> and ristretto is default.
[14:26] <holstein> if you want the functionality of another program, you'll want to consider installing another program
[14:26] <hoodedice> Indeed I would
[14:28] <hoodedice> But think about this from the perspective of an end user
[14:28] <holstein> well, im just a volunteer here.. im not trying to "fix" the work flow of xubuntu for specific cases.. though, you are welcome to get involved on that level
[14:29] <holstein> as they say, you cant please everyone all the time.. and there are always "issues" for everyone
[14:30] <holstein> but, to address your specific issue, i might look at the print preview from firefox, or, consider installing another viewer, or, something like mspaint
[14:30] <holstein> !info mspaint
[14:30] <hoodedice> I don't think adding a print interface is going to kill anyone
[14:30] <holstein> !info mtpaint
[14:30] <hoodedice> hols, I did my printing via gimp
[14:30] <hoodedice> > mtpaint
[14:30] <hoodedice> my sides.
[14:30] <holstein> hoodedice: oh, and im in no way implying you have a bad idea.. im just saying, im not able to add paint functionality to it
[14:31] <hoodedice> hmm
[14:31] <holstein> all i can do is volunteer things that hopefully easily address your needs.. would you like to try mtpaint?
[14:31] <hoodedice> No, thank you, sir
[14:31] <hoodedice> I think I'll bug the mailing list with this
[15:26] <sorinello> Hello. Can someone tell me how to get the global (top) menu of Firefox to be displayed in the panel bar ?
[15:37] <holstein> sorinello: there were some netbook specific things for that.. but, AFAIK, it would apply to the system menu's.. is that what you want? or more of a fullscreen of firefox? or, hiding the menu?
[15:39] <sorinello> well I have a vanilla xubuntu 15.04. I have NO Firefox menu whatsoever. I have a lame bat at the top, where I have the icons to close, minimize + the website title. No Menu. I accidentally have a system which, when you select firefox, its menu appears in the panel ,which seems cool
[15:39] <sorinello> ( holstein  )
[15:41] <hoodedice> sorinello, new firefox ui
[15:41] <hoodedice> the stuff is now in the menu button on the top right
[15:41] <holstein> by design, AFAIK
[15:41] <hoodedice> you might want a theme plugin if you want the old style back
[15:41] <hoodedice> yes, by design.
[15:43] <sorinello> hmm.. interesting. but this must be something Linux specific, since on WIndows I have the latest FF version, and combinations like  alt+F, alt+H, will make the top menu visible
[15:44] <holstein> sorinello: maybe you actually dont have the latest in windows? check that you have the same version both places
[15:44] <hoodedice> those combinations may not work in xubuntu
[15:44] <holstein> could be overrides in xubuntu specifically
[15:44] <hoodedice> ...actually, they run on my end
[15:45] <sorinello> holstein, now really lame question. Since I can't access FF menu at all, how do I see FF version ? :)
[15:45] <sorinello> cos alt+H does not trigger anything
[15:45] <sorinello> ah, found it
[15:46] <sorinello> Xubuntu is 38, windows version is 38.0.5
[15:46] <holstein> well, anyways, it seems to be just you, since, its working for hoodedice.. maybe you have overridden the key combos
[15:46] <sorinello> but the one from Xubuntu doesn't looks 100% vanilla. It states : Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu cannonical 1.0
[15:47] <holstein> sorinello: it should be repackaged, for the ubuntu repos
[15:47] <holstein> re-built.. not really changed, in anyway, though, you are welcome to confirm
[15:48] <sorinello> holstein, : my system is almost vanilla, I haven't changed any key bindings .... I don't even know how to do that :)
[15:49] <holstein> sorinello: cool.. i mean to attach no blame.. just suggesting further investigation, since, they are working for other folks
[15:49] <hoodedice> wow, mine is pure vanilla as well]
[15:49] <hoodedice> but 32 bit here
[15:50] <hoodedice> the only shortcut I added was Superkey for the applications menu
[15:51] <sorinello> interesting. well nevermind, it's not disturbing me or something. It's just that I don't like that it seems that with each version of Ubuntu in general, something breaks.
[16:01] <hoodedice> if it doesn't break something, then it is not a new version of ubuntu =)
[16:16] <sorinello> :)) hoodedice, holstein : seems that setting the default browser from the UI.. from "Preffered Applications" does not work :)  xdg-open still reports chrome even thatt I've set Firefox from UI
[18:16] <xubuntu52w> HI
[18:16] <xubuntu52w> i have ubuntu on my computer
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> and i  have a usb i want to put in and look my pictures and music
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> on my ubuntu ocmputer
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> where i had windows on first
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> HOW i open the usb
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> its in the computer but cant find it to open it
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> ?
[18:17] <xubuntu52w> imfromholland
[18:25] <hoodedice> such impatient
[19:19] <xubuntu87w> hello is anyone running xubuntu (14.04) as a virtual machine using  Windows 8.1 Hyper-V?
[19:23] <xubuntu87w> In xubuntu, there are Windows machines on the same LAN. They appear in file manager.
[19:23] <xubuntu87w>  How do you transfer files to Windows machines on the same LAN?
[20:23] <Christopher-Were> Hi, I can't seem to find the config files for Deja Dup. How would I go about finding out where they are?
[20:29] <Christopher-Were> They're not in any of the obvious places
[20:30] <dkessel> Cjristopher-Were: this may answer your question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145698/where-does-deja-dup-keep-its-config-files
[20:31] <dkessel> Christopher-Were: see above, and sorry for the typo in your name
[20:33] <Christopher-Were> That's all very confusing. So it says there that deja-dup doesn't have it's own config file
[20:35] <Christopher-Were> Well I don't know where I should go from here. I just wanted to edit a setting on Deja Dup and now I either have to install a gnome settings program of ferret around in no Deja-Dup config files.
[20:35] <Christopher-Were> I must be understanding that wrong.
[20:38] <dkessel> Deja dup settings are stored together with other application's files in a binary file. Yes, you will probably need to install a settings editor. But I guess it must also be possible to manipulate these settings using the command line
[20:39] <dkessel> gsettings seems to be the command line to to do this
[20:40] <dkessel> Maybe also dconf-editor. I got to go. Good luck with whatever you are trying!
[20:41] <Christopher-Were> Maybe I should switch to backintime. After doing some googling, Deja Dup seems to have a number of horror stories. What do you use?

[23:02] <De> Hi. I am kinda newbie, and just want to upgrade to 15.04 via terminal. but dont know how. its easy, dont it?
[23:03] <ObrienDave> which version are you on now?
[23:03] <pleia2> the cli utility to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 is called do-release-upgrade
[23:03] <pleia2> (well, it's called that for all releases, I was just specifying because you can't skip versions)
[23:04] <De> 14.04
[23:05] <ObrienDave> you need to do 2 do-release-upgrades  to get to 15.04
[23:05] <ObrienDave> but, 14.04 is LTS, 3 years support
[23:06] <ObrienDave> 15.04 is 9 months
[23:06] <De> hmmm..  right. got it.
[23:06] <De> make sense
[23:06] <De> :)
[23:06] <De> thanx
[23:07] <ObrienDave> i'm on 14.04. got tired of the 6 month re-install everything garbage
