[00:49] <xubuntu70w> Hi 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.
[00:50] <xubuntu70w> anybody else seeing anything like this? really weird. long menus automatically scroll up, text boxes scroll to the left
[00:50] <xubuntu70w> and all my windows are translucent but my settings in the UI appear unchanged.
[01:12] <xubuntu24w> Hi 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] <xubuntu24w> but it's still scrolling down long lists, and focusing on mouseover, which the UI says is not turned on.
[01:12] <xubuntu24w> Any ideas?
[01:12] <xubuntu24w> sorry if I missed a reply from before.
[11:02] <xubuntu78d> Hello
[11:08] <xubuntu78d> Is there anyone?
[11:09] <cfhowlett> OR you could just ask the important question, right?
[11:10] <xubuntu78d> Can I to change the scroll speed (mouse wheel) in Xfce DE?
[11:11] <cfhowlett> xubuntu78d, that option isn't offered in the settings menu ... pretty sure you could dig into some code to change it though.  ask #xfce
[11:16] <xubuntu78d> It's a pity

[11:38] <xubuntu79w> thank u
[13:40] <GeekDude> Does xubuntu ship with a firewall?
[13:44] <knome> iptables, yes, but by default it isn't doing anything.
[13:44] <flocculant> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall
[13:45] <flocculant> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[13:46] <GeekDude> OK, I'll just grab ufw/gufw then
[14:19] <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.
[14:20] <cfhowlett> don_, ask #xfce for expert insight
[14:21] <ojhajay> Hi every one
[14:22] <ojhajay> greetings of the day.. & thanks for your services you are giving ...
[14:22] <ojhajay> any one here explain domain configuration in 14.04
[14:23] <knome> what are you referring to with "domain configuration"?
[14:25] <ojhajay> i want to connect my system to existing domain network
[14:25] <knome> a windows network?
[14:26] <ojhajay> yes sir
[14:26] <ojhajay> windows network
[14:26] <knome> !samba | ojhajay
[14:30] <ojhajay> yes sir
[14:30] <ojhajay> sir likewise-open not work with this?
[14:30] <knome> i don't understand the question
[14:31] <knome> and no need to sir me or anybody else here
[14:40] <GeekDude> Great! gksu doesn't hang the compositor anymore
[14:41] <ojhajay> knome .. i mean to say in other ubuntu 12.04 i used likewise-open gui module
[14:41] <ojhajay> for active directory integration for windows in ubuntu
[14:41] <ojhajay> that is not here ?

[14:52] <ojhajay> bye for not
[14:52] <ojhajay> sorry now
[19:26] <jarnos> Bug #1294600 makes me tear
[19:27] <jarnos> What is the preferred workaround? I see tearing especially, when I watch video by Chromium browser.
[19:30] <jarnos> https://youtu.be/ZCPkOpMHB7g
[20:52] <xubuntu09w> boo
[20:52] <knome> ?
[20:53] <xubuntu09w> Question about fan controls
[20:53] <xubuntu09w> i have a pair of system fans a cpu cooler
[20:54] <xubuntu09w> Do I need to set speeds from the BIOS or can I do it from the desktop?
[20:56] <knome> if it's a laptop, you can likely control that from the function keys
[20:56] <knome> if not, then i don't really know, but i would suppose there is some way at least - if the hardware is supported
[20:57] <xubuntu09w> custom build
[20:58] <xubuntu09w> is there a conclusive list of what's supported and what isn't?
[20:58] <knome> nope
[20:59] <xubuntu09w> damn.
[20:59] <xubuntu09w> okay, next question
[20:59] <xubuntu09w> Any decent temperature monitors around?
[21:00] <knome> several exist, you should check which one works best for your needs
[21:01] <knome> at least lm-sensors and psensor come to mind
[21:01] <xubuntu09w> such as?
[21:02] <xubuntu09w> lmsensors has a graphical UI?
[21:02] <knome> you can search for them in the repositories via software sensor
[21:02] <xubuntu09w> sorry, total noob
[21:02] <xubuntu09w> how does one do that?
[21:02] <knome> i encourage to actively trying to figure out yourself - reading stuff never hurts
[21:03] <knome> well, launch the ubuntu software center and search for "temperature" for example
[21:06] <knome> xubuntu09w, i recommend getting to know the documentation as well: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/C/index.html
[21:16] <xubuntu09w> psensors actually looks pretty nice
[21:16] <knome> there you go
[21:24] <sorryname> hi
[21:24] <knome> hello
[21:24] <sorryname> i need
[21:24] <sorryname> HELP!
[21:25] <knome> well, ask the question...
[21:25] <sorryname> i bought new pc
[21:25] <sorryname> i7 4790 16 gig and 512 gb ssd
[21:25] <sorryname> i neeed help
[21:26] <knome> ask the question.
[21:26] <sorryname> I cant decide
[21:26] <sorryname> between ubu, xubu and kubu
[21:26] <sorryname> !!
[21:26] <sorryname> !!!
[21:27] <knome> please do not flood
[21:27] <knome> we are reading you without it as well
[21:27] <drc> sorryname: DL a Live ISO of each, burn them, boot them and decide.
[21:27] <sorryname> yes i tried
[21:27] <sorryname> but cant decide
[21:27] <knome> and, you are asking the xubuntu channel, what do you think we suggest?
[21:28] <sorryname> i need a normal objective help
[21:28] <knome> then you should likely ask somewhere else
[21:28] <knome> or just pick one
[21:29] <knome> you can even install all the desktop environments and use them as you please
[21:30] <sorryname> WHAT IS DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT!!????!?!?!
[21:30] <knome> sorryname, please do not shout
[21:30] <knome> desktop environment is xfce (used by xubuntu), kde (used by kubuntu), unity (used by ubuntu) etc
[21:31] <sorryname> GREAT!
[21:31] <sorryname> but what should i pick
[21:31] <knome> sorryname, i don't think we can help you if you don't listen what we say.
[21:31] <drc> sorryname: Using ALL CAPS is considered very rude.
[21:31] <knome> sorryname, also, we can't decide for you. what works for us might not work for you
[21:32] <sorryname> okay sorry
[21:36] <xubuntu37w> Hi. 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?
[21:37] <drc> xubuntu37w: Any of the current Xubuntu ISO should work on both pre and post EFI/UEFI
[21:37] <knome> xubuntu37w, none of the ISOs require EFI
[21:38] <xubuntu37w> I am tryin the 15.10 image
[21:38] <xubuntu37w> and all I see is vmlinuz.efi
[21:38] <knome> 15.10 isn't released yet...
[21:38] <drc> xubuntu37w: I just installed the 15.10 daily today on a pre-EFI laptop.
[21:38] <xubuntu37w> It 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 stick
[21:39] <knome> but maybe you have done something wrong - or something has gone wrong - during the usb creation
[21:39] <drc> and, like Knome said, it's not released so expect anything.
[21:39] <knome> xubuntu37w, maybe the PC can't boot from USB?
[21:39] <xubuntu37w> I have tried unetboot 4 times now and also usb-creator
[21:39] <xubuntu37w> it can
[21:40] <xubuntu37w> i ran disk-repair too, but that only installed the current grub setup on the stick so I booted up the hardisks again
[21:40] <drc> xubuntu37w: check the md5 on the iso
[21:41] <drc> xubuntu37w: can you boot thru the first menu (tey/install.etc)?
[21:42] <xubuntu37w> a515fd7fd42e33d20fffb6f8cefe4847  wily-desktop-amd64.iso
[21:42] <drc> s/tey/try/
[21:42] <xubuntu37w> a515fd7fd42e33d20fffb6f8cefe4847 *wily-desktop-amd6
[21:42] <xubuntu37w> yes, the md5 is the same
[21:42] <drc> and it matches?
[21:42] <drc> ok
[21:42] <xubuntu37w> yes
[21:42] <drc> can you boot thru to the first menu?
[21:43] <xubuntu37w> if I run the test (from the ubuntu pages) it says the system is bios, not efi
[21:43] <xubuntu37w> can it then still load the vmlinuz.efi?
[21:43] <xubuntu37w> on casper
[21:45] <knome> xubuntu37w, the xubuntu ISOs can totally run on non-EFI systems
[21:45] <knome> xubuntu37w, does the PC support PAE?
[21:46] <knome> because if not, then that's the issue.
[21:49] <xubuntu37w> # lshw | grep -i pae           capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx x86-64 constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 xsave lahf_lm dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority cpufreq
[21:49] <xubuntu37w> it says pae here, is it the correct pae?
[21:50] <knome> likely so
[21:51] <xubuntu37w> It is a :Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q8300  @ 2.50GHz
[21:51] <xubuntu37w> so not acient
[21:51] <xubuntu37w> ancient
[21:51] <xubuntu37w> trying the 15.04 image
[21:52] <drc> xubuntu37w: tbh, that's a better option under the circumstances.
[21:52] <xubuntu37w> ok, testing now, I'll be back if it doesn't work ;-)
[21:52] <drc> Have fun
[22:03] <cantinstall> no go
[22:03] <cantinstall> does filesystem matter?
[22:03] <cantinstall> i had lba fat32
[22:03] <drc> cantinstall: I guessing you were xubuntu37w ?
[22:03] <cantinstall> yes
[22:04] <drc> unetbootin needs a fat 32, dd doesn't care, it re-writes eveything anyway.
[22:04] <cantinstall> trying a sd card now as I don't find another stick.
[22:40] <nda888> Hi everyone
[22:41] <Bonn333> Hi ;)
[22:41] <nda888> i got some problem about black hand screen when clicked on suppened , and can't reopen laptop
[22:41] <nda888> my asus k42jv hand can't do anything , & black screen appears
[22:42] <nda888> how should i do to resolve this problem, it's very annoying
[22:42] <Bonn333> nda888: Have you got intel hd graphics integrated graphic card?
[22:42] <Bonn333> I have this same problem on new kernel, but fixed with downgrade to older kernel version
[22:42] <nda888> yes , my laptop both intel hd graphic & geforce gt 335m
[22:43] <nda888> how can i do that
[22:43] <Bonn333> Ubuntu version...?
[22:43] <nda888> xubuntu 15.04 vivid
[22:44] <Bonn333> Ohh... i have 14.04 lts so i cannot help for this :/
[22:45] <nda888> what did you do to downgrade kernel in 14.04lts
[22:51] <nda888> Bonn333 are u there
[23:32] <Danfun64> Hello. 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?
[23:39] <mrkramps> Danfun64, wether you assign a custom command to the shell script file type or use a custom action
[23:40] <Danfun64> what was the xfce configuration tool again?
[23:40] <cantinstall> HI again
[23:41] <cantinstall> still 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 go
[23:41] <cantinstall> so I think it is perhaps syslinux 6.03 problem
[23:44] <drc> cantinstall: 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.
