| cantinstall | i also tried 15.04 and it doesn't work | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| cantinstall | I'm seing others with syslinux issues | 00:01 |
| drc | like I said, it did or me today, so I have no idea. | 00:01 |
| a1fa | is no one going to fix the indicator plugin? | 00:26 |
| cantinstall | finally! | 00:45 |
| cantinstall | I don't know why I didn't use dd before | 00:45 |
| cantinstall | but using dd and not the crappy unetbootin etc tools, it worked | 00:45 |
| cantinstall | thanks for the help! | 00:47 |
| cantinstall | 3 am, time to sleep. | 00:47 |
| zacwalls | hey so I am running Xubuntu 14.04 right now, and I was looking at themes for xfce4. And I found one. But then I realized, I didn't know how to install themes on xfce. So a few Duckduckgo results later and I came up with this: http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes So I followed each instructions exactly and found out I have no folder titled themes in my /.local/share/ dir. So, where do I go from here? | 02:13 |
| drc | make ~/.themes and put the theme you want there. | 02:14 |
| imthenachoman | hey guys. anyway to install xubuntu without all the bloat? like firefox or xchat and all the other stuff? | 03:33 |
| bazhang | just an xfce core with the mini install | 04:04 |
| bazhang | ah quit | 04:04 |
| Unit193 | !xubuntu-core | 04:05 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu Core is a slimmed down version of Xubuntu that doesn't come with all the additional features of a full and modern desktop. To install: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-core^ » (A xubuntu-core task is also available from the !minimal ISO) | 04:05 |
| cfhowlett | I usually give my most brilliant advice after they've left channel .,, | 04:06 |
| bazhang | heh same | 04:09 |
| bazhang | safer that way | 04:09 |

| a1fa | where did the screensaver settings disappear? | 13:54 |
| cfhowlett | xscreensaver is known to conflict with lightlocker. in fact, it's recommended for removal | 13:56 |
| a1fa | cfhowlett: so under power management, i select a lock | 14:04 |
| a1fa | i dont really care about screensaver, i care about the lock | 14:05 |
| cfhowlett | state your actual question | 14:05 |
| a1fa | my screen does not lock on idle | 14:06 |
| a1fa | the screen goes blank after 15 minutes... | 14:06 |
| a1fa | sleep in 20 minutes, but there is no way to enable locking | 14:06 |
| cfhowlett | bring this question to #ubuntu please. | 14:06 |
| a1fa | why to ubuntu? | 14:07 |
| cfhowlett | more eyes | 14:08 |
| drc | More eyes | 14:08 |
| a1fa | does your lock work? | 14:08 |
| drc | a1fa: To make clear...you want the machine to lock on IDLE not SLEEP ? | 14:09 |
| a1fa | both | 14:09 |
| drc | I don't think ther's a easy way to make it sleep on idle...don't remember ever seeing that option. Sleep is another matter | 14:10 |
| drc | But then I never care about locking, so I may have missed something. | 14:10 |
| a1fa | under light-locker, it says my screensaver is managed by xfce-power | 14:10 |
| a1fa | so both xfce power manager, and light locker have the same setting | 14:11 |
| a1fa | so i cant activate light locker when monitor goes blank? | 14:12 |
| drc | No idea, don't use it. | 14:12 |
| a1fa | you dont lock your screen? | 14:12 |
| drc | nope...I don't go anywhere I don't trust whoever is around. | 14:13 |
| drc | a1fa: You're not having problems locking when the machine goes to sleep, are you? | 14:15 |
| a1fa | my machine does not go to sleep | 14:17 |
| a1fa | my guess is, that works fine | 14:17 |
| drc | Then why "<drc> a1fa: To make clear...you want the machine to lock on IDLE not SLEEP ? | 14:17 |
| drc | <a1fa> both" | 14:17 |
| drc | Well, you might test it, just to make sure the process works, then worry about "idle" | 14:18 |
| a1fa | drc: do you use the indicator plugin? | 14:29 |
| drc | yes | 14:29 |
| a1fa | click about computer, tell me if it works | 14:29 |
| drc | I have no "About Computer" in my indicator plugin | 14:30 |
| drc | You mean "About"? | 14:30 |
| drc | Yes it works. | 14:30 |
| a1fa | does the logout work? | 14:34 |
| a1fa | and lock within indicator plugin | 14:34 |
| drc | We must have two different Indicator Plugins. | 14:35 |
| flocculant | a1fa: you know that different people use different versions of xubuntu - with different defaults - what do you use? | 14:35 |
| a1fa | this didnt work on 15.04, and 15.10 | 14:39 |
| flocculant | ok - so you reported it as a bug or can link to the one you me too'd I assume | 14:40 |
| drc | a1fa: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: 1) Something's wrong with your setup...re-install, 2) You are trying to do something it's not designed to do...forget it, or 3) report it a a bug. | 14:41 |
| flocculant | ftr - locking screen works fine in the 4 or 5 wily's I've installed/had installed on hardware and in vm's that I've tested for weeks | 14:42 |
| drc | flocculant: on just idle, not sleep? | 14:42 |
| flocculant | idle | 14:43 |
| a1fa | odd, i wiped my .config/xfce4 | 14:44 |
| a1fa | and problem persisted | 14:44 |
| a1fa | got a bug report opened | 14:44 |
| drc | a1fa: Does that mean that you opened a new bug report or there already was one? | 14:46 |
| flocculant | just set to lock sleep at one minute in Display tab of Power, and auto lock session when screensaver is activated | 14:47 |
| flocculant | wandered off - came back, locked | 14:47 |
| flocculant | crisis averted | 14:49 |
| flocculant | found bottle opener ... | 14:49 |
| flocculant | a1fa: just a comment here - there actually isn't a screensaver as such - so wording in the power manager could do with changing perhaps | 14:50 |
| drc | OK, let's define things here: 1) Sleep and 2) Idle...just to make sure we're talking about the same things. Go ahead. | 14:51 |
| flocculant | <a1fa> sleep in 20 minutes, but there is no way to enable locking - yes there is, Security tab - set Auto lock session to when screensaver is activated | 14:52 |
| a1fa | ok waking up monitor from sleep asked for password | 15:49 |
| flocculant | right - so it locked | 15:51 |
| a1fa | yes | 15:53 |
| flocculant | a1fa: as far as reporting things and hoping to get them fixed, if you see it in the released version (especially if it's only supported for 9 months) check and see if the same thing is there in the dev version - as early as possible - then report it - when you do make sure you tag the LP bug xubuntu-exp | 15:55 |
| flocculant | people actually use that tag | 15:55 |
| a1fa | i'm on 15.10 at the moment, and i've had issues with indicator plugin since 14.10 (i think) | 15:56 |
| flocculant | and you reported things ? | 16:00 |
| a1fa | yes | 16:01 |
| flocculant | link? | 16:02 |
| a1fa | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-indicator-plugin/+bug/1484214 | 16:02 |

| flocculant | a1fa: I don't recognise those options at all | 16:04 |
| a1fa | which version are you on? | 16:05 |
| flocculant | 15.10 | 16:05 |
| a1fa | on the far right, do you have the wheel looking icon? | 16:05 |
| flocculant | I'm always on the dev version | 16:05 |
| a1fa | indicator-session under indicator-plugin | 16:05 |
| flocculant | let me boot the daily vm | 16:06 |
| a1fa | k | 16:06 |
| a1fa | one more annoyance, mouse wheel can scroll out of focus windows | 16:06 |
| flocculant | never seen that | 16:06 |
| a1fa | it took me a while to find the setting to disable focus on mouse wheel | 16:07 |
| drc | a1fa: Window Manager Tweaks->Workspaces-> use mouse... ? | 16:07 |
| a1fa | "Raise Windows when any mouse button is pressed" | 16:07 |

| drc | OK, I'm out | 16:08 |
| flocculant | a1fa: http://i.imgur.com/IRXTMkk.png | 16:08 |
| a1fa | flocculant: can you bring xfce into focus | 16:09 |
| a1fa | click on the furthest right icon, the session icon, and see if there is "About this Computer" | 16:09 |
| flocculant | on the left Xubuntu, on the right Ubuntu - Xubuntu doesn't have the gear icon and has none of the things you've listed in that bug report | 16:09 |
| a1fa | let me take a screenshot | 16:10 |
| a1fa | should i remove my xfce4 config first | 16:10 |
| a1fa | so its, apples to apples? | 16:10 |
| flocculant | a1fa: so you've installed Ubuntu then added xfce? | 16:11 |
| a1fa | Xubuntu, then added Unity | 16:11 |
| a1fa | actually, sorry you are correct | 16:11 |
| a1fa | i installed Ubuntu, then added xubuntu-desktop | 16:11 |
| flocculant | mmm | 16:12 |
| flocculant | well I would either remove all the ubuntu packages and see where you are | 16:13 |
| flocculant | though - probably quickest to reinstall with an up to date 15.10 daily after backing things up | 16:13 |
| a1fa | can you take another screenshot, but expose the top of xfce | 16:13 |
| a1fa | let me also take a screenshot | 16:14 |
| flocculant | we have enough on our plate trying to support xubuntu - without trying to support ubuntu with xubuntu added :) | 16:14 |
| flocculant | http://i.imgur.com/DXrT8eE.png | 16:15 |
| a1fa | here is my screenshot | 16:16 |

| a1fa | ignore plank | 16:16 |
| flocculant | a1fa: right - so you have stuff there from ubuntu :) | 16:17 |
| a1fa | flocculant: ok | 16:17 |
| a1fa | the only reason why i like it, is for the sound panel | 16:19 |
| a1fa | http://i.imgur.com/VrEZGeO.png | 16:22 |
| a1fa | this is how it usually looks | 16:22 |
| flocculant | a1fa: can you add that info to the bug report so people know you're talking about ubuntu bits rather than xfce ones - thanks | 16:36 |
| a1fa | no problem | 16:37 |
| flocculant | thanks :) | 16:37 |
| a1fa | One mistery is solved | 16:39 |
| a1fa | I thought this was the default Xubuntu "session", and it was driving me nutts why no one else experienced it | 16:40 |
| a1fa | i guess new question is, why is my default "xfce4" sceleton config different than one that comes with normal Xubuntu install | 16:40 |
| flocculant | a1fa: well it's not a normal Xubuntu install is it :) | 16:42 |
| knome | the xfce4 session is supposed to be different from the xubuntu session | 16:42 |
| flocculant | my bad - didn't read that properly | 16:43 |
| a1fa | flocculant: so i got another one for you.. | 16:43 |
| a1fa | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfdesktop4/+bug/1484212 | 16:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1484212 in xfdesktop4 (Ubuntu) "Keyboard not working in Remmina after idle. " [Undecided,New] | 16:43 |
| flocculant | a1fa: ok - can you confirm that with a real Xubuntu install - if you do that then I will see if I can confirm it | 16:44 |
| a1fa | k | 16:44 |
| flocculant | actually not going to be able to confirm that bug - not got anything to confirm it with | 16:48 |
| a1fa | flocculant: is there a keyboard shortcut to show desktop | 16:53 |
| a1fa | ctrl+alt+d | 16:53 |
| a1fa | nice | 16:53 |
| a1fa | i made a plank thing to show desktop | 16:54 |

| vista__ | Hello, I am having a really severe problem with my WiFi connection ever since I upgraded | 23:32 |
| vista__ | to 15.04 | 23:32 |
| vista__ | basically, if I downloading anything large (say, a 1GB test file), my WiFi connection fails about halfway into it (it has failed at ~380 and 670MB, to say the extremities) | 23:33 |
| vista__ | failing meaning my computer just forgets about the existence of my AP | 23:33 |
| vista__ | I can connect to another AP just fine | 23:33 |
| vista__ | but to see my own AP again, I have to restart my computer | 23:34 |
| vista__ | even using the hardware on-off WiFi switch did not help. | 23:34 |
| vista__ | dmesg says 'disassociation reason 7' - unexpected layer 3 frame | 23:34 |
| mrkramps | driver issue | 23:34 |
| vista__ | I am using a ThinkPad T420 with an Intel 6205 card | 23:35 |
| vista__ | I did not have this problem on 14.10 or 14.05 | 23:35 |
| vista__ | Is it possible to roll back on this specific driver? | 23:35 |
| mrkramps | yes, but as you have to ask IF it is possible i doubt you get it done | 23:36 |
| vista__ | I see | 23:36 |
| vista__ | This problem is quite peculiar, though. For example, I was able to download some software off of VmWare's site no problem. However, when the actual software wanted to update itself, it consistently always failed. | 23:37 |
| vista__ | wgetting something works, but doing the same from inside a Windows VM always gets the connection killed about halfway. | 23:38 |
| vista__ | Connection got killed again, bit of a timeout. | 23:40 |
| knome | wait, is this problem occurring only inside a vm? | 23:40 |
| vista__ | Oh, I am running Windows inside a VM. | 23:40 |
| vista__ | No, this occurs on the host. | 23:40 |
| knome | the last lines made it sound like it happened in a vm only | 23:41 |
| vista__ | well yeah, that's what I was saying. This problem only occurs during one, single download. | 23:42 |
| vista__ | Downloading a bigger torrent (e.g. a pack of legal-to-distribute distros), e.g. lots of small, short connections cause no issue | 23:42 |
| vista__ | I have found a (so far) 7/7 times reproducible way of getting my connection killed | 23:43 |
| vista__ | Perhaps if I did some logging, someone could look into what could be causing the problem? | 23:44 |
| knome | if it's a driver issue, then the likelihood of somebody looking at it are smallish | 23:48 |
| knome | because then it means that person needs to have the same device as you | 23:48 |
| knome | that said, it never hurts to file a bug | 23:48 |
| vista__ | Well, after reading a bit about it | 23:54 |
| vista__ | It seems that other people have this problem as well | 23:54 |
| vista__ | and they have been able to fix it by disabling 802.11n | 23:54 |
