xubuntu29wI am installing xbuntu 14.04 LTS on an old Compaq presario AMD 2600+ and I get a black and white checker board a few minutes after the xbuntu screen starts00:14
xubuntu70wHi everybody. I just did the usual software update on my xubuntu 14.04 and now my window manager settings are all messed up. focus follows mouse and windows fade away.00:49
xubuntu70wanybody else seeing anything like this? really weird. long menus automatically scroll up, text boxes scroll to the left00:50
xubuntu70wand all my windows are translucent but my settings in the UI appear unchanged.00:50
xubuntu24wHi again. I got booted off and just got back. I mentioned a problem where my window manager just went screwy. I found turning off "enable display compositing" made some of the weirdness go away.01:12
xubuntu24wbut it's still scrolling down long lists, and focusing on mouseover, which the UI says is not turned on.01:12
xubuntu24wAny ideas?01:12
xubuntu24wsorry if I missed a reply from before.01:12
xubuntu78dHello11:02
xubuntu78dIs there anyone?11:08
cfhowlettOR you could just ask the important question, right?11:09
xubuntu78dCan I to change the scroll speed (mouse wheel) in Xfce DE?11:10
cfhowlettxubuntu78d, that option isn't offered in the settings menu ... pretty sure you could dig into some code to change it though.  ask #xfce11:11
xubuntu78dIt's a pity11:16

GeekDudeOK, I'll just grab ufw/gufw then13:46
don_what is the recommended method to change the mouse cursor theme in xubuntu?  The settings UI doesn't seem retain the new cursors after a reboot.  I'm finding forum posts dating back years reporting this issue and they all seem to suggest wildly different ideas of how to fix it.14:19
cfhowlettdon_, ask #xfce for expert insight14:20

xubuntu09wQuestion about fan controls20:53
xubuntu09wi have a pair of system fans a cpu cooler20:53
xubuntu09wDo I need to set speeds from the BIOS or can I do it from the desktop?20:54
knomeif it's a laptop, you can likely control that from the function keys20:56
knomeif not, then i don't really know, but i would suppose there is some way at least - if the hardware is supported20:56
xubuntu09wcustom build20:57
xubuntu09wis there a conclusive list of what's supported and what isn't?20:58
knomenope20:58
xubuntu09wdamn.20:59
xubuntu09wokay, next question20:59
xubuntu09wAny decent temperature monitors around?20:59
knomeseveral exist, you should check which one works best for your needs21:00
knomeat least lm-sensors and psensor come to mind21:01
xubuntu09wsuch as?21:01
xubuntu09wlmsensors has a graphical UI?21:02
knomeyou can search for them in the repositories via software sensor21:02
xubuntu09wsorry, total noob21:02
xubuntu09whow does one do that?21:02
knomei encourage to actively trying to figure out yourself - reading stuff never hurts21:02
knomewell, launch the ubuntu software center and search for "temperature" for example21:03
knomexubuntu09w, i recommend getting to know the documentation as well: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/C/index.html21:06
xubuntu09wpsensors actually looks pretty nice21:16
knomethere you go21:16

sorrynameyes i tried21:27
sorrynamebut cant decide21:27
knomeand, you are asking the xubuntu channel, what do you think we suggest?21:27
sorrynamei need a normal objective help21:28
knomethen you should likely ask somewhere else21:28
knomeor just pick one21:28
knomeyou can even install all the desktop environments and use them as you please21:29
sorrynameWHAT IS DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT!!????!?!?!21:30
knomesorryname, please do not shout21:30
knomedesktop environment is xfce (used by xubuntu), kde (used by kubuntu), unity (used by ubuntu) etc21:30

xubuntu37wHi. I'm trying to install xubuntu from usb stick on a pre EFI/UEFI computer. I only keep getting boot error. Is there a ISO image I can use that is not efi?21:36
drcxubuntu37w: Any of the current Xubuntu ISO should work on both pre and post EFI/UEFI21:37
knomexubuntu37w, none of the ISOs require EFI21:37
xubuntu37wI am tryin the 15.10 image21:38
xubuntu37wand all I see is vmlinuz.efi21:38
knome15.10 isn't released yet...21:38
drcxubuntu37w: I just installed the 15.10 daily today on a pre-EFI laptop.21:38
xubuntu37wIt worked fine to install it on my new laptop, but my fathers old computer I get Boot Error after it tires to load the usb stick21:38
knomebut maybe you have done something wrong - or something has gone wrong - during the usb creation21:39
drcand, like Knome said, it's not released so expect anything.21:39
knomexubuntu37w, maybe the PC can't boot from USB?21:39
xubuntu37wI have tried unetboot 4 times now and also usb-creator21:39
xubuntu37wit can21:39
xubuntu37wi ran disk-repair too, but that only installed the current grub setup on the stick so I booted up the hardisks again21:40
drcxubuntu37w: check the md5 on the iso21:40
drcxubuntu37w: can you boot thru the first menu (tey/install.etc)?21:41

xubuntu37wa515fd7fd42e33d20fffb6f8cefe4847 *wily-desktop-amd621:42
xubuntu37wyes, the md5 is the same21:42
drcand it matches?21:42
drcok21:42
xubuntu37wyes21:42
drccan you boot thru to the first menu?21:42
xubuntu37wif I run the test (from the ubuntu pages) it says the system is bios, not efi21:43
=== mnepton is now known as mneptok
=== zoktar_ is now known as zoktar
xubuntu37wcan it then still load the vmlinuz.efi?21:43
xubuntu37won casper21:43
knomexubuntu37w, the xubuntu ISOs can totally run on non-EFI systems21:45
knomexubuntu37w, does the PC support PAE?21:45
knomebecause if not, then that's the issue.21:46

Danfun64Hello. I configured my version of xubuntu to double click to open shell scripts. How do I set it so that when I open .sh files, the terminal pops up?23:32
mrkrampsDanfun64, wether you assign a custom command to the shell script file type or use a custom action23:39
Danfun64what was the xfce configuration tool again?23:40

cantinstallstill no luck installing. I had a stick with 14.04 on it, and that works. I have now tried 2 sticks and sd card and no go23:41

cantinstallso I think it is perhaps syslinux 6.03 problem23:41
drccantinstall: Like I said, I DL'd, burnt and installed 15.04 and the 15.10 daily today, so I really doubt that there is a problem with the 2 iso's.23:44
