[12:18] <Dragon64> wow good morning
[12:22] <knome> hello.
[12:35] <loula> hi
[12:35] <loula> i need help
[12:36] <knome> ask away
[12:36] <loula> i've got cursor issues, in some cases, my cursor is replaced by some square in which shows old cursor trails
[12:36] <knome> which xubuntu bersion?
[12:36] <knome> *version
[12:37] <loula> as if i was drawing with my cursor as a brush on an invisible layer, and the cursor is a small window that shows that layer
[12:37] <loula> 15.04
[12:37] <knome> are you running xubuntu virtualized or on hardware?
[12:37] <loula> on hardware
[12:38] <knome> hmm. what's your hardware specs? amount of ram?
[12:38] <loula> 4 Go of ram
[12:38] <loula> and i'm gonna check specs
[12:38] <knome> do you use PPAs?
[12:38] <knome> anything custom installed?
[12:38] <knome> which graphics card and which driver?
[12:39] <loula> ppas yes, but not for system or wm things
[12:39] <loula> xfce theme was shipped with the os
[12:40] <knome> PPas can sometimes have unexpected effects, better double-check which packages they provide
[12:41] <loula> well, the issue was there at firefox first opening, so i don't think it is ppa's fault
[12:41] <loula> i didn't install anything
[12:42] <knome> firefox can take a lot of resources, so it might be related to that
[12:42] <knome> though with 4GB ram, that's unlikely to affect THAT much
[12:42] <loula> i don't think ressource the issue too
[12:42] <loula> it's in very selective cases
[12:43] <loula> for exemple i have a picture opened in firefox, cursor's ok
[12:43] <loula> if it is opened in firefox via tumblr (when you have the "like, follow, etc" buttons at the top), cursor is messed up
[12:44] <knome> so.. does this only happen in firefox?
[12:45] <loula> same with krita, the classic arrow cursor is ok, but when i use a crosshair, a circle or even a single dot as a cursor, the square appears, showing ond cursor trails (are those trails even supposed to be stored somewhere?)
[12:45] <knome> not really, it's likely just a rendering bug
[12:45] <knome> which GPU and driver are you using?
[12:46] <loula> hmm it seems related to the dualscreen configuration
[12:46] <loula> weird
[12:47] <loula> it's a ATI radeon HD 6950 (x2)
[12:47] <loula> using the proprietary driver
[12:47] <loula> fglrx
[12:48] <loula> the bug goes away when i use only one screen
[12:49] <knome> does the bug appear with open source drivers?
[13:02] <loula> let's try
[13:03] <loula> does it need a reboot?
[13:04] <knome> won't hurt
[13:04] <loula> so brb
[13:08] <loula> so i changed the proprietary driver for the free one
[13:08] <loula> i rebooted, and the issue is still there
[13:10] <knome> ok, good to have ruled that out
[13:10] <loula> now in the additional drivers window, selected entry is a fourth one that wasn't there before i rebooted, that says something like "continue using a manually installed driver" and other choices are greyed out.
[13:10] <loula> including the free driver
[13:12] <knome> hmm, weird.
[13:12] <knome> anyway, i got to go
[13:12] <knome> hopefully others are able to help
[13:12] <knome> i will be back at some point too
[13:12] <knome> good luck!
[13:12] <loula> ok, thanks
[16:47] <xubuntu81w> Questions/observations about 15.10b1 her or in -devel?
[16:48] <holstein> i would try devel.. there is also the #ubuntu+1 channel, though, i understant *devel to be the preferre place for xubuntu..
[16:49] <xubuntu81w> thanks
[17:28] <Guest51176>  calibre is not working with mint xfce, files are not opening from inside calibre
[17:28] <cfhowlett> !mint | Guest51176
[17:28] <ubottu> Guest51176: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[17:29] <Guest51176> ubottu: the issue is with xfce not with mint
[17:29] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, you're using mint.  mint is not ubuntu and is not supported here.
[17:32] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: first i installed xubuntu but it was not working. after that i tried mint xfce but at both distro based on xfce, calibre fails to open files. pls help me as i m dependent on calibre too much..it is bug with xfce which is fixed in arc and fedora but i cant find solution for ubuntu based distros
[17:32] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, mint IS NOT ubuntu.  we don't support it.
[17:33] <cfhowlett> !flavors | Guest51176
[17:33] <ubottu> Guest51176: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu.
[17:34] <Guest51176> ubottu: i know that. i m ubuntu user only, but after calibre not worked in xubuntu, i tried mint xfce to confirm the issue.
[17:34] <ubottu> Guest51176: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[17:36] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, open a terminal and do this.  paste the url in this channel >>>                 lsb_release -a | nc termibin.com 9999
[17:36] <cfhowlett> termbin.com 9999
[17:37] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: no lsb module available
[17:38] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, then you definitely are not using *buntu.  sorry, you are in the wrong channel.
[17:38] <brainwash> Guest51176: so, it does not work. did you file a bug report? ideally, you should test the latest stable xubuntu release or even the current development release
[17:39] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: sorry if u misunderstood, i m telling that i m checking this issue in mint as it was not working in xubuntu
[17:39] <Guest51176> http://dpaste.com/3YDFXQA
[17:39] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, reinstall xubuntu and we can try.
[17:40] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: pls have a look in bug if possible. some patch is relased in arc and all but i m not able to find how to solve in ubuntu
[17:40] <brainwash> !bugs
[17:40] <ubottu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.
[17:40] <brainwash> ^
[17:41] <brainwash> nothing we can do about this. the package maintainer needs to be informed
[17:44] <Guest51176> brainwash: thanks.. i think i have to leave calibre for ubuntu
[17:46] <brainwash> Guest51176: you could use an exo package which more up-to-date
[17:46] <Guest51176> brainwash: how to install exo packages
[17:47] <brainwash> from this PPA probably https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12
[17:48] <brainwash> mmh nope
[17:48] <brainwash> the package is too old
[17:49] <Guest51176> brainwash: i added this one :)
[17:49] <Guest51176> brainwash: can suggest what else i can done
[17:52] <brainwash> other than filing a bug report, no
[17:53] <Guest51176> brainwash: i fixed it. thanks a lot
[17:54] <cfhowlett> ??? share, please ?
[17:54] <cfhowlett> HOW
[17:55] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: sudo gedit /usr/bin/xdg-open
[17:55] <Guest51176> changed DE from xfce to gnome
[17:56] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, and now calibre works?
[17:56] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: yes now its working
[17:56] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, that there is some good detective work, Lou!
[17:57] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: :) thanks
[17:57] <cfhowlett> I never would have thought of that.  iirc, calibre is a gnome app, so OF COURSE.
[17:58] <Guest51176> cfhowlett: just one help, it will not effect other programs?
[18:00] <cfhowlett> Guest51176, well, I've got allhealthy mix of gnome and xfce apps on my xubuntu, and never had a problem launching so I assume all dependencies are automagically installed.  but apps will likely run best in their native DE.
[18:01] <cfhowlett> checking the calibre website.  gnome is recommended ...
[18:39] <knome> cuzor, for your issue, the messages aren't anything to be worried of; i see the same messages on my desktop machine, and it'll proceed after some time
[18:39] <cuzor> ah
[18:40] <cuzor> so after a couple of minutes, loading should continue?
[18:40] <drc> Same here...just takes a bit of time.  Scared me the first time I saw them though.
[18:40] <knome> cuzor, well, after some time
[18:40] <knome> cuzor, considering you don't have other problems booting
[18:40] <knome> but at least these aren't anything related to those
[18:41] <cuzor> gonna try again and have a bit more patience
[18:41] <azzenovic> hey guys is it true that parts of libreoffice suite  will be in the next xubuntu release?
[18:43] <knome> azzenovic, yes.
[18:44] <azzenovic> but as far as i am concerned Libreoffice isn't lightweight doesn't that oppose the xubuntu philosophy ?
[18:45] <genii> I recall much debate over it at the time
[18:46] <knome> azzenovic, you can read the whole xubuntu strategy document at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/StrategyDocument, performance is just one of four areas of focus
[18:46] <knome> (and for that matter, for example firefox isn't the lightest browser either)
[18:47] <azzenovic> I've already read the strategy document that's why I was wondering + isn't midory a better choice as a web browser ?
[18:48] <knome> azzenovic, "better choice" depends on the requirements set
[18:49] <azzenovic> so?
[18:50] <knome> well if you prefer midori over firefox, you can always remove the latter...
[18:51] <knome> and if you want an OS that aims to be as lightweight as possible, then you should look into other options; xubuntu isn't all about lightness, it's also about usability, and integration
[18:58] <azzenovic> I have no intention to leave xubuntu for another distro especially for my lapop
[18:58] <azzenovic> laptop
[18:59] <knome> ...then i guess we've done a good job even if we are bad boys and girls introducing heavy apps.
[18:59] <knome> go us
[19:37] <cuzor> found the problem why xubuntu (or any other linux, except crunchbang a long time ago) would load. When I disconnect my bluray drive, xubuntu loads immediatly

[20:32] <ROPA> hi all, I just bought a USB silicone flexible keyboard for my ubuntu laptop, but it does not work. Appears dead. Does it need a driver?? The stock keyboard works fine, am using it to send this message. Any suggestions??

[21:07] <xubuntu94i> Hi
[22:54] <mariano> I have windows server essentials with shared folders. I'm want to connect to those shares from xubuntu. I tried to open windows network from thunar but I    get the error message "failed to open windows network" and "failed to retrieve shares list from server: No such file or directory".
[23:35] <Dragon64> Good Afternoon
