| knob | Good morning all! =) | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | timezones = morning for you but not for all. | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | "greetings!" :) is always good | 11:25 |
| knob | he... true that | 11:28 |
| knob | Yet I'm just pumped in the mornings.... so I always blast in with a hearty GOOD MORNIGN! =) | 11:28 |
| knob | Yet it's all good! Sometimes I go for the morning/afternoon/evening lol | 11:28 |
| knob | How you doing cfhowlett ? How's it going over there? | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | no complaints. | 11:29 |
| knob | Good stuff then! I'm starting the day at the office... some paper work. Let see if we don't get any fires today. | 11:29 |
| knob | Hey cfhowlett and others, got a n00b question. Years ago, Ubuntu used init. I believe in 8.xx they changed to upstart. | 12:08 |
| knob | Is it changing now to systemd? | 12:09 |
| cfhowlett | I know systemd is coming but don't know anything about "init". ask #ubuntu? | 12:09 |
| knob | Ok. Just asking because I am going through some LPIC material (for a Linux Certification). And they're mentioning the move from init to upstart... yet I don't know if systemd follows upstart. The material I have is "dated". | 12:10 |
| cfhowlett | knob, right. ask the other channel. most of them know WAY more than I do. | 12:11 |
| knob | Ok ok. Thanks! =) | 12:12 |
| knob | cfhowlett, I found this... which seems to indicate that yes, it was init --> upstart --> systemd http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5877/what-are-the-pros-cons-of-upstart-and-systemd | 12:17 |
| cfhowlett | knob, OK. (still exceeds my understanding). | 12:17 |
| knob | cfhowlett, cool. Just wanted to share. I am forever a linux/bsd n00b | 12:18 |
| knob | =) | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | lol | 12:18 |
| IceyEC | so, I'm having a strange issue; Macbook Pro retina 13", touchpad worked fine originally, setup touchegg on it to handle multitouch gestures, touchpad still worked; this morning touchpad will let me click, and multitouch gestures work but I can't get it to move the cursor | 13:00 |
| knob | odd | 13:06 |
| IceyEC | I've tried resetting the X settings for the input | 13:06 |
| IceyEC | I'm really getting to my wit's end, over an hour debugging this so far with no end in sight :( | 13:07 |
| IceyEC | fortunately external mouse works just fine | 13:07 |
| IceyEC | the strangest thing to me is that the multitouch gestures and click work fine | 13:07 |
| knome | IceyEC, the strangest thing is that you are expecting macs are supported :) | 13:08 |
| IceyEC | heh, it's good hardware and I'd rather have Xubuntu that OSX on it | 13:08 |
| IceyEC | :) | 13:08 |
| knome | sure | 13:08 |
| knome | anyway, traditionally xubuntu hasn't done much for hardware support | 13:09 |
| knome | that's also why we don't promise support for this and that | 13:09 |
| IceyEC | yeah, the annoying thing is that it _did_ work before | 13:09 |
| IceyEC | :( | 13:09 |
| knome | you might want to ask #ubuntu and/or other people who run (x)ubuntu on macs | 13:09 |
| cfhowlett | !mac | IceyEC | 13:09 |
| ubottu | IceyEC: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 13:09 |
| knome | ^ those might help, but i don't know if they have a lot of information about the newer systems | 13:10 |
| knome | (tbh looks like they don't, and new hardware is new hardware) | 13:10 |
| IceyEC | well thanks, I'll keep digging | 13:13 |
| IceyEC | i'm wondering if it's actually a mac issue or a touchpad setting somewhere disaling mouse movement from the touchpad | 13:13 |
| cfhowlett | IceyEC, assuming a new kernel in that update you mentioned, perhaps boot an older kernel?? | 13:13 |
| IceyEC | well, when I say it worked before, I installed xubuntu on this laptop on Sunday | 13:14 |
| IceyEC | so it's all fairly fresh | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | and if that works, you might need to reinitialize a driver or 2 with dkms. I discovered my vbox drivers didn't always autoupdate. | 13:14 |
| IceyEC | I _may_ just install clean again but I'd really rather not | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | IceyEC, dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | that'll return a url. paste here | 13:15 |
| IceyEC | http://termbin.com/y0ke | 13:15 |
| cfhowlett | IceyEC, see the new kernel? | 13:16 |
| IceyEC | 3.19.0-28? | 13:16 |
| cfhowlett | yep | 13:16 |
| IceyEC | so, I'm assuming I should try booting with the 0-25 kernel and see if it works | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | so: reboot, choose the older kernel and test | 13:19 |
| IceyEC | k, off to try that | 13:20 |
| medicijnman | does anyone know how i can change the background image in xfce4-terminal with a command rather then edit->preferences->background? | 13:23 |
| medicijnman | man xfce4-terminal does not help me either | 13:23 |
| IceyEC | old kernel didn't help | 13:23 |
| IceyEC | besides not working with my wifi card ;-) | 13:24 |
| koegs | medicijnman: you have to change the config-file | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | IceyEC, arrrr. sorry. no more ideas. | 13:24 |
| IceyEC | alright, thanks | 13:24 |
| medicijnman | koegs: here? ${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | 13:25 |
| medicijnman | that file does not seem to exists. should i create it? | 13:25 |
| koegs | medicijnman: you have to create it | 13:25 |
| koegs | it will only be there if you have changed xfce4-terminal settings via preferences | 13:26 |
| IceyEC | so, intereating tidbit, in the mouse and touchpad settings page, the option for touchpad is gone | 13:26 |
| medicijnman | koegs: ahh i have found the file. but i can't see the var=value for the background image i have set via preferences | 13:26 |
| koegs | medicijnman: BackgroundImageFile= | 13:28 |
| koegs | and BackgroundMode | 13:28 |
| medicijnman | koegs: just BackgroundMode ? without = value? | 13:29 |
| koegs | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12521072/ | 13:29 |
| IceyEC | I can see the setitngs in the settings editor but not in the regular mouse and touchpad settings | 13:31 |
| IceyEC | looks kind of like http://askubuntu.com/questions/661036/xubuntu-14-04-options-missing-from-mouse-and-touchpad-control-panel | 13:32 |
| medicijnman | koegs: okay. this is my file http://paste.ubuntu.com/12521087/. | 13:34 |
| medicijnman | if i open a terminal it does not seem to have any effect. logout + login does not seem to have any effect either | 13:34 |
| medicijnman | koegs: the image does exist | 13:35 |
| medicijnman | koegs: i rebooted the machine but still no background image | 13:39 |
| koegs | medicijnman: same here but it also does not accept a background image via preferences | 13:41 |
| koegs | seems like a bug | 13:41 |
| medicijnman | koegs: so for background via preferences you have "Background image" ? what xubuntu version do you have? | 13:42 |
| koegs | 14.04.3 and xfce4-terminal 0.6.3 | 13:43 |
| medicijnman | koegs: hmmm i have the exact same versions | 13:49 |
| medicijnman | koegs: xfconf-query -l does not list xfce4-terminal either. is that also a bug or do i need to invoke another command? | 13:50 |
| cfhowlett | medicijnman, doesn't show on mine either | 13:51 |
| koegs | xfce4-terminal does use the config-file, not the xconf-system, i think | 13:51 |
| medicijnman | cfhowlett: so apparently to only way to change xfce4-terminal behavior is through the config file? | 13:51 |
| medicijnman | koegs: but apparently the preferences override the config file? | 13:52 |
| koegs | the preferences write/change the config file | 13:53 |
| koegs | and normally the xfce4-terminal immediately obeys to changes in the config file, even if you did them manually, no restart of the terminal required | 13:54 |
| medicijnman | koegs: maybe i am editting the wrong file then | 13:55 |
| koegs | ~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | 13:55 |
| medicijnman | koegs: mine is located in /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc | 13:55 |
| koegs | nope | 13:55 |
| medicijnman | koegs: ahhh | 13:55 |
| medicijnman | koegs: that makes sense | 13:55 |
| medicijnman | koegs: i already thought something was wrong because root is the owner with 644 permissions | 13:56 |
| medicijnman | koegs: thanks. that worked | 13:58 |
| medicijnman | xfce4-terminal does not support animated gifs does it? | 13:59 |
| Pici | medicijnman: no... its a terminal. | 14:02 |
| medicijnman | Pici: i mean as background image :p but it should be expected to work with background images anyway | 14:02 |
| Pici | medicijnman: oh.. heh. I don't know, but I sadly wouldn't expect it. | 14:02 |
| medicijnman | Pici: yeah. i was really suprised that xfce4-terminal supports background images in the first place. | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | wait, what? | 14:04 |
| cfhowlett | so a background image IN the terminal?! | 14:04 |
| Pici | I thought that had always been there. I remember using it as a poor-man's transparent terminal. | 14:05 |
| medicijnman | cfhowlett: yeah :D like a desktop background with your command output on top of it | 14:05 |
| cfhowlett | sweet. looking up my favorite ... image :) | 14:06 |

| gordonjcp | evening | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | is anyone here using gmusicbrowser? | 20:02 |
| gordonjcp | how do you get rid of the hideous crunching distortion? | 20:03 |
| knome | i'm using gmb but i have no idea what you are talking about | 20:03 |
| gordonjcp | knome: everything is severely clipped | 20:03 |
| m3n3chm0 | knome it doesn't move | 20:08 |

| m3n3chm0 | why ¿? if not internet is not working | 20:10 |
| drc | m3n3chm0: 1) Are you talking about WICD icons (i.e., you installed it yourself, it's not installed by default); 2) how are you trying to move it?) | 20:10 |
| knome | m3n3chm0, well if you are using wicd, there's not much we can do | 20:10 |
| knome | m3n3chm0, if that was working when you used network manager, then you should talk to the wicd developers | 20:10 |
| m3n3chm0 | ok | 20:10 |
| m3n3chm0 | thanks knome | 20:10 |

| Abraham | Hello! I'd like to know what dock I could use in alternative to cairo. | 20:24 |
| Abraham | I have 1 GB RAM | 20:24 |
| gordonjcp | 1GB ought to be plenty | 20:24 |

| whiter | Hello, I need some help. | 20:37 |
| whiter | I've been trying to get this working since last night. | 20:37 |
| whiter | Basically, I got Xubuntu 15.10 installed, and Compiz/Emerald, and everything works correctly, but when I maximize the windows, it covers the panel OR maximizes behind the panel | 20:37 |
| whiter | which is at the top of my screen | 20:37 |
| whiter | how would I fix this? | 20:37 |
| Abraham | whiter, what is your screen resolution? | 20:38 |
| mrkramps | Abraham, try wbar, it's pretty light weight | 20:38 |
| Abraham | hmmm, thanks, mrkramps. I will. | 20:39 |
| whiter | 1680x1050 | 20:39 |
| whiter | on this external display im using | 20:39 |
| whiter | on the laptop its 1600x900 | 20:39 |
| Abraham | pretty good resolution XD. Well, open panel preferences and check it to reserve space for the panel. | 20:40 |
| knome | whiter, compiz/emerald isn't officially supported on xubuntu, so you should ask for compiz support for help | 20:41 |
| whiter | jesus | 20:41 |
| knome | asking jesus would likely not help in this case, but you can ask jesus as well. | 20:41 |
| whiter | It's not a compiz issue. | 20:42 |
| whiter | This was happening before I installed those | 20:42 |
| whiter | asking you would not help, so please stop | 20:42 |
| knome | 15.10 is not released officially, but i haven't heard others having this problem either | 20:42 |
| knome | maybe it's something else in your configuration | 20:42 |
| whiter | ..... | 20:43 |
| whiter | that was literally the most useless advice you could have given | 20:43 |
| knome | you're welcome. | 20:43 |
| knome | whiter, anyway, you should likely file a bug so developers can look at the issue and at least try to reproduce it. | 20:45 |
| whiter | I doubt its a bug though | 20:45 |
| whiter | Its what you said | 20:46 |
| whiter | But I already knew that :\ | 20:46 |
| Abraham | whiter, you watched panel preferences already? | 20:46 |
| whiter | no | 20:46 |
| Abraham | do it :) be sure the option 'Don't reserve space on borders' is unchecked | 20:47 |
| whiter | it was checked | 20:49 |
| whiter | I love you | 20:49 |
| Abraham | hahahaha | 20:51 |
| Abraham | thou are welcome. | 20:51 |
| Abraham | Hey, mrkramps, there's no wbar on Ubuntu Software Center... there's plenty of solitude... | 20:54 |
| Abraham | well, there is the wbar-config application... but nothing else. | 20:54 |
| mrkramps | sudo apt-get install wbar wbar-config | 20:55 |
| Abraham | oh, thanks | 20:56 |
