[10:55] <ngomes> hello
[10:57] <ngomes> recently my printer broke and i disconnected it. now i want to stop cups with systemctl disable cups.service , it apllies the given command but when i reboot the service is always on. already tried chmod 000 cups.conf and related cups services but it always loads when computer boots ... any help ?
[11:00] <brainwash> ngomes: mask it instead -> systemctl mask cups.service
[11:00] <ngomes> hmmm ok , let me try
[11:01] <brainwash> this way you disable the unit completely
[11:02] <brainwash> run "systemctl unmask cups.service" to revert the change
[11:05] <ngomes> brainwash,
[11:05] <ngomes> ● cups-browsed.service                                                                                       masked active running   cups-browsed.service
[11:05] <ngomes> ● cups.service                                                                                               masked active running   cups.service
[11:05] <ngomes> but it says active running ...?!
[11:06] <ngomes> and port 631 still active , so i guess something is running
[11:07] <ngomes> gonna reboot to see what happens
[11:10] <ngomes> brainwash, ok reboot worked . thanks
[11:16] <janj> hello guys
[11:16] <knome> hello
[11:18] <janj> i recently have a problem when i disconnect my external diyplay. when i do the theme changes to the xfce default. standard is the xubuntu one of course. my version is 14.10
[11:19] <janj> i change the diyplay settings using the minimal settings window to the internal only and then disconnect. why is that?
[11:21] <knome> this is fixed in 15.04
[11:23] <janj> oh ok than i wait until i change my whole system to the coming LTS release
[11:24] <janj> thanks! I really like xubuntu for its nice look and feel ;) the mini iso thing is a cool idea i think!
[11:25] <knome> please note that you can't update to 16.04 directly from 14.10
[11:26] <knome> you have to go through 15.04 and 15.10
[11:27] <janj> no problem. i am a friend of clean installs when i upgrade to a very new version :)
[11:38] <janj>  /whois knome
[11:38] <knome> i am who i am

[12:03] <noviceJ> can you help me with the xfce panel? how can I place it below the screen?
[12:05] <flocculant> noviceJ: not sure I understand what you mean
[12:06] <noviceJ> is there any ways to place the panel at the bottom?
[12:07] <flocculant> yea - right click panel - panel preferences - unlock panel then grab it at end and move it
[12:07] <noviceJ> thanks
[13:05] <unpchar> Hello, I've installed matlab.. when I start the pc I have to do "cd /usr/local/MATLAB/MATLAB_Production_Server/R2013a/toolbox/distcomp/bin" and "sudo sh mdce start"
[13:05] <unpchar> How do I enable that command to start when computer starts
[13:06] <unpchar> ?
[13:30] <flocculant> unpchar: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/9853/how-can-i-make-rc-local-run-on-startup
[13:30] <flocculant> shouldn't need sudo though
[14:16] <subscious> hello. Will ubuntu-desktop start from lightdm?
[14:16] <knome> yes
[14:21] <subscious> knome: thank you.
[14:38] <subscious> knome: is ubuntu-desktop 14.04 a unityy variant?
[14:40] <xangua> the "default" ubuntu desktop uses unity, yes
[14:46] <subscious> xangua: thank you as well.
[14:55] <subscious> good bye.
[19:09] <xubuntu42w> I am taking an online class that requires a "quicktime" plug in and the most updated version of JAVA to access required video content for the class.  I am not computer savvy at all.  Normally I would have my roommate help me but he is in the hospital.  I believe I have installed the Ubuntu version of "quicktime", however, the content still does not play with a response indicated that I need to install a plug in.  Please help!  I 
[19:10] <holstein> xubuntu42w: is there no lab at the school? that provides what you need?
[19:11] <holstein> xubuntu42w: you can try simply installing the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package, which, may allow those sites to support your os..
[19:11] <holstein> i would read all of this, and see if it applies
[19:12] <holstein> xubuntu42w: i found that, when folks have this issue, i can typically hack at something for about 6 minutes and make it work.. but, leaving someone who is "not compupter savvy at all" with something that just works, reliably.. that can be tricky
[22:42] <nightwalkerkg> Sorry for asking, but is there a way to install KDE 5.4 on Xubuntu 14.04 ?
[22:42] <knome> nightwalkerkg, you should ask #kubuntu
[22:42] <nightwalkerkg> Oh, ok.
[22:43] <nightwalkerkg> Thanks for the info knome.
[22:43] <knome> no problem
[22:43] <xangua> You can install KDE yes, but why do you want to install something that just got out a week ago?
[22:43] <xangua> Not even a week ago, I'm not sure
[22:43] <nightwalkerkg> It dosen't have to be 5.4, i am ok with 5.3
[22:44] <nightwalkerkg> Or what is the latest stable.
[22:44] <xangua> That depends the Ubuntu release you're using
[22:44] <nightwalkerkg> It's Xubuntu 14.04.
[22:44] <knome> the people at #kubuntu really know this stuff better and can advise about caveats etc
[22:44] <nightwalkerkg> Yeah, asked there. Waiting for a response.
[22:45] <knome> technically, you can install whatever you want wherever you want if you are willing to work for it, but whether it is sensible or not is different
[22:45] <nightwalkerkg> I wanted to give xfce a chance, but it's just not my thing. :P
[22:46] <xangua> What's wrong with Xfce?
[22:46] <nightwalkerkg> But since i have about 40GB of repo stuff, and i am to lazy to do a backup and install kubuntu, i want to install it here.
[22:46] <knome> (that discussion sounds like it would fit better in #xubuntu-offtopic)
[22:46] <nightwalkerkg> xangua: Nothing, it's great for what is intended to, i just like to have much more freedom moding and customizing my DE.
[22:47] <nightwalkerkg> Yeah, sorry, switching to #kubuntu
[22:47] <xangua> Probably KDE wins in that, yes
