[00:32] man I can't find the answer anywhere [00:43] what is the xubuntu 14.04 login manager? [00:53] wow [00:53] I could have answered his question [02:26] Anyone know how to get an Acer 84-key keyboard to be properly mapped under Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS? [02:31] Guess not. Well, have a good night, all. [02:40] * ruttle waves [02:44] hi bariumbitmap [03:13] anyone know how to enable scrollbar in tmux, over ssh [03:14] specifically using xfce term === sim642_ is now known as sim642 [06:53] just installed xubuntu for the first time on my laptop :) [06:53] no more virual machines :D [08:15] Hi. [08:18] Anyone familiar with windows7 windows shortcuts for moving windows? pressing META-, 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. === xangua_ is now known as xangua [10:01] try #xcfe perhaps [10:01] err reverse that [10:01] xFce [10:07] Hi, anyone here use catfish? and have you noticed it doesn't seem to use 'locate' like *at all* ? [11:29] Hello. Is there any way to change certain appearance settings colors ? [11:30] 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] sorinb, there are a couple of settings in 'Theme Configuration' [11:36] thanks freiform === likevinyl is now known as LikeVinyl [12:06] 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] sorinb, is the indicator plugin active? [12:07] yes [12:07] freiform, I have skype, mesages and,sound [12:08] but for example I'd like to have "Application Menus (Global Menus)" there [12:08] also network, bluetooth.. [12:08] nope, those are not visible there [12:08] Isn't that independent from the indicator plugin? [12:08] nope [12:08] just add new items to the panel [12:08] freiform, http://i.stack.imgur.com/7hcKs.png [12:09] a lot from this list I don;;t have. But I am interested in Application Menus [12:09] there are some sort of plugins for the Indicators plugin [12:10] good questions, i also don't have them . [12:10] freiform, the screenshot is taken from http://askubuntu.com/questions/563326/how-to-get-the-normal-xubuntu-xfce-panel-indicator [12:10] oddly, I have an instance of Xubuntu that HAS them :)) [12:11] but doesn't seem I installed something custom/specific/additional [12:13] sorinb, on the same box? [12:16] freiform, no, another box [12:18] 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] freiform, odd thing is that, if you ACCIDENTALLY click on "Clear known indicators" .. you're screwed. THen what ? :) [12:19] That button does more harm there than good [12:20] 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] sorinb, take a look at https://pseudomorph.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/xfce-notification-a/ [12:47] freiform,: reading [12:51] freiform, : oddly, on neither of the machines Indicator Application was NOT checked to auto start [12:51] I have checked it now and rebooted, see what happens [12:52] good luck ;) [12:56] freiform, : no luck, I have no additional options in the Indicators plugin :( [12:57] strange indeed. [13:00] freiform, : basically what I want is to have the Firefox menu in the panel bar... [13:02] portugal anyone [13:04] does xubuntu supports compiz fusion [13:04] ? [14:21] 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] hoodedice: i would save the image locally, and use *something* to manipulate the image.. [14:23] holstein, SURPRISE! The image is on my local drive. [14:23] 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] hols, the image is local in .jpeg [14:24] i would literally right click on the image, open it in whatever "viewer" i have installed, and print it [14:24] the point is - ristretto does not have a print function [14:24] and ristretto is default. [14:26] if you want the functionality of another program, you'll want to consider installing another program [14:26] Indeed I would [14:28] But think about this from the perspective of an end user [14:28] 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] as they say, you cant please everyone all the time.. and there are always "issues" for everyone [14:30] 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] !info mspaint [14:30] Package mspaint does not exist in vivid [14:30] I don't think adding a print interface is going to kill anyone [14:30] !info mtpaint [14:30] hols, I did my printing via gimp [14:30] mtpaint (source: mtpaint): painting program to create pixel art and manipulate digital photos. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.40-2 (vivid), package size 440 kB, installed size 1872 kB [14:30] > mtpaint [14:30] my sides. [14:30] 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] hmm [14:31] all i can do is volunteer things that hopefully easily address your needs.. would you like to try mtpaint? [14:31] No, thank you, sir [14:31] I think I'll bug the mailing list with this === qwebirc384391 is now known as slickymasterWork === likevinyl is now known as LikeVinyl [15:26] Hello. Can someone tell me how to get the global (top) menu of Firefox to be displayed in the panel bar ? [15:37] 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] 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] ( holstein ) [15:41] sorinello, new firefox ui [15:41] the stuff is now in the menu button on the top right [15:41] by design, AFAIK [15:41] you might want a theme plugin if you want the old style back [15:41] yes, by design. [15:43] 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] sorinello: maybe you actually dont have the latest in windows? check that you have the same version both places [15:44] those combinations may not work in xubuntu [15:44] could be overrides in xubuntu specifically [15:44] ...actually, they run on my end [15:45] holstein, now really lame question. Since I can't access FF menu at all, how do I see FF version ? :) [15:45] cos alt+H does not trigger anything [15:45] ah, found it [15:46] Xubuntu is 38, windows version is 38.0.5 [15:46] well, anyways, it seems to be just you, since, its working for hoodedice.. maybe you have overridden the key combos [15:46] but the one from Xubuntu doesn't looks 100% vanilla. It states : Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu cannonical 1.0 [15:47] sorinello: it should be repackaged, for the ubuntu repos [15:47] re-built.. not really changed, in anyway, though, you are welcome to confirm [15:48] holstein, : my system is almost vanilla, I haven't changed any key bindings .... I don't even know how to do that :) [15:49] sorinello: cool.. i mean to attach no blame.. just suggesting further investigation, since, they are working for other folks [15:49] wow, mine is pure vanilla as well] [15:49] but 32 bit here [15:50] the only shortcut I added was Superkey for the applications menu [15:51] 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] if it doesn't break something, then it is not a new version of ubuntu =) [16:16] :)) 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] HI [18:16] i have ubuntu on my computer [18:17] and i have a usb i want to put in and look my pictures and music [18:17] on my ubuntu ocmputer [18:17] where i had windows on first [18:17] HOW i open the usb [18:17] its in the computer but cant find it to open it [18:17] ? [18:17] imfromholland [18:25] such impatient [19:19] hello is anyone running xubuntu (14.04) as a virtual machine using Windows 8.1 Hyper-V? [19:23] In xubuntu, there are Windows machines on the same LAN. They appear in file manager. [19:23] How do you transfer files to Windows machines on the same LAN? [20:23] 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] They're not in any of the obvious places [20:30] Cjristopher-Were: this may answer your question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145698/where-does-deja-dup-keep-its-config-files [20:31] Christopher-Were: see above, and sorry for the typo in your name [20:33] That's all very confusing. So it says there that deja-dup doesn't have it's own config file [20:35] 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] I must be understanding that wrong. [20:38] 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] gsettings seems to be the command line to to do this [20:40] Maybe also dconf-editor. I got to go. Good luck with whatever you are trying! [20:41] Maybe I should switch to backintime. After doing some googling, Deja Dup seems to have a number of horror stories. What do you use?

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