[05:11] <Guest66061> Hi can anyone tell me how to set an external monitor hooked up to my laptop as the DEFAULT monitor so all applications will open on the external monitor?
[05:12] <Guest66061> 14.04*
[05:13] <Guest66061> hello?
[05:15] <Guest66061> well this is  a useful caht
[18:31] <ManicPanic> why cant i change screen brightness on Xubuntu ?
[18:32] <ManicPanic> There is no slider to do it in the power management settings
[18:33] <xangua> did you try your function keys¿
[18:34] <ManicPanic> xangua: what is that?
[18:34] <xangua> the function keys in your keyboard
[18:35] <ManicPanic> xangua:  which keys is that?
[18:35] <xangua> your bright function keys
[18:36] <ManicPanic> xangua:  i dont see bright function keys on my keyboard
[18:38] <ManicPanic> xangua:  the brightness stays 100% . How do i get it lower?
[18:40] <ManicPanic> Settings Editor: "xfce4-power-manager/brightness-level-on-ac" is at 30% , but it still shines 100% brightness
[18:43] <ToeTag> I have a bash script that keeps opening a pdf on my 2nd workspace. A window button keeps popping up and blinking on my first workspace. Anyone know how I can either suppress the blinking or make it so my panel only shows windows for the current workspace. NONE of the settings I've toggled have worked. I've tried turning off anything remotely related to this in window manager tweaks and window manager settings
[18:54] <nomic> the bash script has an instruction to open the pdf .. you must find that statement and remove it ToeTag
[18:57] <ToeTag> nomic, Actually I want the pdf to open - basically I'm editing the source and this is my way of auto-refreshing the pdf
[18:58] <ToeTag> i just want to suppress the flashing somehow
[19:00] <ManicPanic> so  there is no way to change the brightness on xubuntu
[19:00] <ManicPanic> :(
[19:00] <nomic> tape over it, on the screen. use opaque paper.
[19:00] <ToeTag> haha
[19:00]  * nomic has done similar things before.. used to do it to get rid of the gurning sign language person on the corner of films, BBC2
[20:42] <james_> how to auto login to xubuntu
[20:42] <james_> ?
