| mariano | Is there a way to make the whiskers menu dark themed? | 02:06 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | change the gtk theme to a dark one | 02:07 |
| mariano | Is that the theme configuration app in the settings menu? | 02:08 |
| knome | no, that's appearance -> style | 02:08 |
| knome | that will change everything else to dark though. | 02:09 |
| mariano | ok, I"ll look for it. | 02:09 |
| blank_ | Hi. I have this older laptop that I put Mint on. The reason being so the other people using the computer would have an easier time with it. Now I am looking or stability. What version should I put on this dino? | 02:21 |
| === blank_ is now known as lulz | ||
| Unit193 | What's the specs? | 02:23 |
| === lulz is now known as lulzsec | ||
| lulzsec | let me see... | 02:24 |
| lulzsec | CPU: Genuine intel T2250 @ 1.73GHZ x2 | 02:26 |
| lulzsec | mem 2gib | 02:26 |
| lulzsec | HDD space is about 100-150gib | 02:26 |
| Unit193 | 2G, that's not so bad. As far as 14.04 vs 15.04 there's not going to be a major hit on resources so it's generally up to you. 2G should be enough to decently run Xubuntu though. | 02:27 |
| lulzsec | Good to know | 02:28 |
| Unit193 | (I have a Pentium M 1G I have 15.10 on, ram is pretty tight but functional enough.) | 02:28 |
| lulzsec | will any changes in 15.10 be a dramatic change in the way xubuntu runs? | 02:29 |
| mariano | Where do I find this gtk editor? I don't see it. | 02:31 |
| Unit193 | `xfce4-appearance-settings` | 02:32 |
| mariano | This is where I can make the whiskers menu dark? | 02:34 |
| Hund | mariano: Are you talking about changing to another theme or editing current theme? | 03:36 |
| mariano | I want to make the whiskers menu dark. | 03:36 |
| mariano | My taskbar is dark (see through), but then when I click on the mouse head the whisker menu is gray so I want to change it to dark. | 03:38 |
| Hund | You need to edit the theme then. I'm guessing it's all CSS these days. | 03:39 |
| mariano | ah ok. I'll look into it. | 03:40 |
| Hund | I don't use anything of it, so I can't be much of any help. | 03:41 |
| mariano | NP, I don't even have much time today anymore. Thanks man. | 03:42 |
| Hund | Good luck. :) | 03:45 |
| jaumoose | I was trying to do the same thing earlier, here's the instructions I found through a google search - http://forum.top-hat-sec.com/index.php?topic=4652.0 | 04:28 |
| random111 | sup all, i just upped to 15.04 and it keeps crashing at the login window, only way to get in is over recovery and then resume, i guess its something with the dm? how do i check what dm is currently used? | 07:25 |
| pleia2 | if it's a default xubuntu install, you're using lightdm | 07:26 |
| random111 | i upgraded from 14.04 | 07:27 |
| pleia2 | 14.04 used lightdm as well | 07:28 |
| pleia2 | there's a /var/log/lightdm/ directory that has logs which may be helpful in tracking down the problem you're having, but I haven't seen that bug myself | 07:29 |

| xubuntu45w | Hello, wondering if somebody can help me. I have a 2011 Mac Mini, its running Xubuntu 15.0.4. All is supported and running perfectly apart from a problem with Overscan. It has Intel HD 3000 graphics, and when I connect the Mac mini to a Full HD TV it overscans, so half the menu is cut off and you cant see the top menu bar, is there a way to fix this please? | 13:04 |
| xubuntu45w | I have been looking for ages for a fix, with no joy | 13:05 |
| knome | mac's aren't officially supported | 13:08 |
| knome | maybe somebody has an answer though | 13:08 |
| cfhowlett | !mac | 13:14 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 13:14 |
| xubuntu45w | Well all the hardware is supported, on a HDMI monitor, its running full HD and its perfect. The problem is just with a TV | 13:14 |
| xubuntu45w | the fact its a Mac is not important, its just a Intel PC with Intel HD Video, HD video plays perfectly etc... all graphics are fine, its just overscan | 13:15 |

| ic2000 | i want to start using linux is xubuntu the place to start | 19:21 |
| knome | ic2000, xubuntu is easy enough to use for beginners too | 19:30 |
| ic2000 | knome: what if i like the windows desktop enviroment, my friend said to use linux mint and my other said to use xubuntu so i'm confused | 19:30 |
| mrkramps | ic2000, that's a bit difficult to explain | 19:31 |
| knome | ic2000, you can customize both more to your liking. both are likely just fine, but if ask on the xubuntu channel, you can bet which one we're going to suggest | 19:31 |
| mrkramps | the Xfce desktop environment as used by Xubuntu and Min Xfce edition is pretty close to a win 7 desktop | 19:32 |
| mrkramps | --Min ++Mint | 19:32 |
| mrkramps | it's some kind of mix between classic and aero | 19:33 |
| mrkramps | ic2000, you can burn most linux isos to a cd or dvd and just test the system live without installation | 19:34 |
| ic2000 | mrkramps: i have a usb? | 19:34 |
| ic2000 | mrkramps: oh wait, might aswell just use virtual box | 19:35 |
| mrkramps | ic2000, works too of course, but just in case buring to dvd is still eadyer | 19:35 |
| mrkramps | ic2000, ok … obviously you already know yourn option ;) | 19:35 |
| ic2000 | mrkramps: i had problems booting last time | 19:35 |
| mrkramps | *option | 19:35 |
| ic2000 | mrkramps: like the option never showed up for booting from usb | 19:35 |
| mrkramps | which option? | 19:36 |
| ic2000 | mrkramps: booting from usb | 19:37 |
| mrkramps | you could not select the usb device for booting in the bios? | 19:37 |

| knome | just tell what the problem is so we can potentially help you | 21:58 |
| xubuntu14w | Xubuntu 14.04.03 LTS Desktop-AMD64 Synaptic Package Manager: ERROR........: Could not download all repository indexes The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems.

| knome | which repository are you using then? | 21:59 |
| xubuntu14w | Whatever Synaptic setup..? | 21:59 |
| xubuntu14w | cdrom://Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Beta amd64 (20150805)/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs Failed to fetch cdrom://Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Beta amd64 (20150805)/dists/trusty/multiverse/binary-amd64/Packages Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be use | 22:00 |
| xubuntu14w | <knome> I installed sybaptic this morning about 5: AM been getting this Error all day..... | 22:03 |
| xubuntu14w | sorry synaptic.. | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | Looks like you have uncommented cdrom sources in /etc/apt/sources.list. | 22:04 |
| xubuntu14w | ok, can it be fixed..? | 22:05 |
| Unit193 | `sudo apt edit-sources` or there's a GUI to manage these things too, software-properties-gtk | 22:07 |
| xubuntu14w | I'm a newbie..just learning.. | 22:07 |
| xubuntu14w | I ran 'sudoapt edit-sources' in terminal it says select an editor... /bin/ed, /bin/nano, /usr/bin/vim.tiny...? | 22:09 |
| mrkramps | pick nano | 22:19 |
| xubuntu14w | I did and edited 2 lines in "green" | 22:21 |
| xubuntu14w | http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | No, don't do that. | 22:22 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu14w, you did not already edited something, did you? | 22:23 |
| xubuntu14w | tried to nothing happened.. | 22:23 |
| xubuntu14w | multi-colored text in cmd lines (54) | 22:25 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu14w, there's one line on the top of that file which most problably starts with 'deb cdrom:' | 22:27 |
| xubuntu14w | yes.. | 22:27 |
| mrkramps | change it to '# deb cdrom …' | 22:27 |
| xubuntu14w | that's what is says now without changing it | 22:28 |
| mrkramps | interesting | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | I think it's time to pastebin the file. | 22:28 |
| mrkramps | good idea | 22:28 |
| xubuntu14w | " deb cdrom:[Xubuntu 14.04.3 LTS _Trusty Tahr_ - Beta amd64 (20150805)]/ trusty m$" | 22:28 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu14w: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list | 22:29 |
| xubuntu14w | can you explain how to..? | 22:29 |
| Unit193 | That's a command. | 22:31 |
| xubuntu14w | Done this 'pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list' now what..? | 22:33 |
| knome | paste us the url it output | 22:33 |
| xubuntu14w | GNU nano 2.2.6 File: /etc/apt/sources.list Modified deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's ## 'partner' repository. ## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by Canonical and the ## respective vendors as a service to Ubuntu u | 22:34 |
| knome | no, please | 22:34 |
| knome | the URL | 22:34 |
| knome | if you didn't get an URL in the output, you did something wrong | 22:34 |
| Unit193 | Or, cat file | pastebinit | 22:35 |
| knome | xubuntu14w, first, open a terminal. then, run "pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list" (without the quotes). once that is done, it will output you an URL - paste that to the channel | 22:36 |
| xubuntu14w | Going to start over, no output... | 22:37 |
| xubuntu14w | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12121090/ | 22:39 |
| xubuntu14w | does that look right..? | 22:39 |
| mrkramps | xubuntu14w, i already told you … | 22:40 |
| knome | xubuntu14w, ok, now in terminal type "nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 22:40 |
| Unit193 | (sudo?) | 22:40 |
| knome | yes, of course... | 22:40 |
| knome | "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" | 22:40 |
| knome | then type a # character at the beginning of the FIRST line | 22:40 |
| xubuntu14w | ok, done... | 22:40 |
| knome | (to start like: "#deb cdrom:...") | 22:41 |
| knome | now press ctrl+x | 22:41 |
| knome | and then Y (to save the file) | 22:41 |
| knome | (and press enter) | 22:41 |
| knome | after you've done that, make sure you don't have synaptic running and then run "sudo apt-get update" | 22:41 |
| xubuntu14w | its getting the update..! | 22:45 |
| knome | yes, it's updating the sources | 22:45 |
| xubuntu14w | thank you guys so much... | 22:45 |
| knome | once that is done, you can run synaptic and retry doing whatever you were doing | 22:46 |
| xubuntu14w | its done....I'll try again thank you... I owe you all a cold Beer or 2 or 4....! =) | 22:46 |
| knome | no problem, good luck | 22:47 |
| xubuntu14w | Thanks..! | 22:48 |
