[01:57] <Azelphur> Hey folks, anyone know how to skip the login page on xubuntu 15.10? there used to be an "Automatic Login" switch in user accounts dialog, but that's gone now. :<
[02:15] <puff> I don't know what's causing it, but my emacs window (gnu emacs 23.4.1) when maximized, has the bottom edge of the window off the screen, so I can't see the message buffer line.
[02:15] <puff> If I use f-11 to go to full-screen mode, then I can see it, but if I go out of full-screen mode, it's back to off the screen.

[09:28] <pHuNk3r5> hey guys, my mouse isn't working but keyboard is, is there a shortcut I can use to kill the desktop and give me a shell?
[12:01] <Guest51877> hello can anyone tell me how to get a dark theme working for xubuntu? I downloaded Mondo Dark (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=168457) but when I select it, XFCE appears to switch to a fallback theme. I'm not sure what might be wrong.
[14:06] <eXistenZNL> Any way to get Gnome-screensaver back on Xubuntu 15.10 w/ XFCE?
[14:08] <cfhowlett> eXistenZNL, screensavers confiict with lightlockerDM.  choose one or the other.  and GNOME screensaver on xfce?  xscreensaver not gnome
[14:09] <eXistenZNL> cfhowlett, yeah but can I still drop LightlockerDM and use lightdm to boot my pc and log in?
[14:09] <eXistenZNL> Or must I swap out LightDM for e.g. GDM and then use xscreensaver?
[14:10] <cfhowlett> eXistenZNL, if you insist on a screensaver, prepare to sacrifice lightlockerdm
[14:10] <eXistenZNL> okidoki
[15:15] <Nairwolf> Hi, do you know if the contest for the next wallpaper is still opened ?
[15:22] <krytarik> Nairwolf: It's not opened yet.
[15:24] <Nairwolf> oh, do you know when it will be open ?
[15:24] <Nairwolf> I have something to propose
[15:24] <Nairwolf> but I don't know if there is specific reglementations
[15:24] <krytarik> Nairwolf: It'll certainly be announced rather publicly. :)
[15:25] <Nairwolf> ok
[17:56] <xubuntu48w> why is my HDD louder on ext4 than btrfs

[20:21] <dbb__> hi all - I have installed a new XUbuntu 14.04 .. sadly, xfce4 4.11 is failing on a known bug in user switching
[20:21] <dbb__> it seems that 4.12 is a better release, but this is not what I got ?
[20:22] <dbb__> in the short term I would like to upgrade in a stable way to 4.12 .. in the long term I wonder if there is a roadmap to ship XUbuntu 14.10 with xfce 4.12 and if so, status
[20:22] <dbb__> thanks for your work on XUbuntu
[20:23] <dbb__> sorry 14.04 LTS
[20:23] <dbb__> typo
[20:24] <flocculant> dbb__: you could use the 4.12 ppa but as always "install packages from PPA's at your own risk"
[20:24] <flocculant> https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xfce-4.12
[20:25] <flocculant> and from 15.04 forwards 4.12 is default, so you could install 15.10 and then upgrade to the next LTS in April
[20:27] <dbb__> flocculant, thx for the reply, but you realize.. 14.04 is an attempt at Long Term Support.. you are on a slippery slope there
[20:28] <dbb__> in the largest sense, everyone benefits from an LTS
[20:31] <flocculant> slippery slope?
[20:31] <flocculant> I know exactly what 14.04 is
[20:37] <krytarik> dbb__: Ftm, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin/1.4.0-1ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04.1
[20:38] <krytarik> !backports | dbb__
[20:38] <ubottu> dbb__: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[20:39] <dbb__> hm - well this gets tricky.. I am reporting an experience as a user, also voicing a tech-project policy opinion.. each is important..
[20:40] <dbb__> I have trusty backports enabled, and I see in synaptic that the only package installed is, in fact, xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
[20:40] <dbb__> v1.3.2-1
[20:41] <dbb__> I have a lot of empathy for the work to get these packages in line.. as an anecdote, earlier I was installing someone's project for work, from PPA, and two packages were conflicting, over a png somewhere
[20:42] <dbb__> .. so the number of parts to these packages is immense, yet the repo is internally inconsistant on that day, over one png
[20:42] <dbb__> so I do get it ..
[20:42] <dbb__> I would like to fix the user switching is possible, and I would like to add a voice to say LTS is worthwhile and all the sub-distros should do it
[20:42] <dbb__> s/is/if/
[20:44] <flocculant> we know LTS is worthwhile - what we can't do is sometime after it's released, re-test the whole thing against something that's changed, which is why it's got what it has :)
[20:44] <flocculant> we're desperately trying to get more people to test the current dev version - which will be the next LTS

[20:52] <Petrovich1124> Hi there
[20:53] <Petrovich1124> Could anybody help me?
[20:53] <Petrovich1124> I can't add additional resolution via xrandr
[20:53] <flocculant> Petrovich1124: just ask it - if someone can they will - I can't though
[20:54] <Petrovich1124> ok
[20:54] <Petrovich1124> tbh windows properly detect resolutions by itself. But when i try to add 1600x900 by myself in xubuntu
[20:54] <Petrovich1124> my TV reports that it is not supported
[22:01] <Haslan> Hey guys, I'm sitting on an old version of Xubuntu, how do you recommend I get the newest version without using a USB-stick?
[22:01] <genii> Haslan: What version are you currently on?
[22:02] <Haslan> genii: 9.04 >.<
[22:02] <genii> Yeah, that's pretty old
[22:02] <Haslan> 2600 days old approx according to my update manager
[22:02] <genii> !debootstrap
[22:02] <ubottu> debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information
[22:03] <Haslan> nice, I'll look into that
[22:03] <flocculant> can't you use a dvd?
[22:03] <Haslan> nope :( the disc-drive doesn't work
[22:11] <Haslan> genii: I don't really understand that wikipage, which one should I download? dabber, edgy, feisty.. etc?
[22:11] <genii> Haslan: The other alternative, if you have a second machine there, is a PXE install
[22:12] <Haslan> genii: I do have another machine yes. How would that work?
[22:13] <genii> Haslan: On the server machine you use dnsmasq to make a dhcp and tftpd server. Then you download the netboot image for the dist you want to install, and use that for a base install.
[22:14] <genii> Then of course, the client machine needs to be set in bios to try netboot before hard drive
[22:19] <genii> Haslan: I'm not sure there is an all-in-one tutorial for installing over the network which has specific instructions for dnsmasq, the older documentation uses isc-dhcp-server and tftpd separate packages. dnsmasq can do both those functions however.
[22:19] <Haslan> ok, I have another stupid question. Sorry genii, to install from a usb stick. Does the stick have to be formatted or can I just put the iso there and then it will ignore the other files?
[22:21] <genii> Haslan: If you install from a USB stick, you would use dd to copy the iso image directly onto the USB stick. It wipes out anything thats on there already
[22:21] <Haslan> Okay
[22:21] <genii> Just copying the file over to the existing filesystem there doesn't work
[22:22] <genii> Haslan: I have just finished work and will be around for about an hour to 90 minutes if you want to attempt any of the methods with a bit of assistance
[22:24] <Haslan> Cool, thx. I'm gonna see if I'll maybe be able to use usb on my camera with a 32gb sdcard, and then just format it again later and reinstall the firmware
[22:24] <Haslan> that should work, right genii ?
[22:25] <genii> Haslan: So long as the computer in question can boot to the sdcard, it should work
=== skribblezatcha is now known as pencilandpaper
[22:30] <Haslan> genii: I mean that I'll put the sdcard in the camera and connect the camera through the usbport and then dd it to copy the iso image onto the camera/sdcard
[22:30] <Haslan> genii: It should work the same way as a usb stick right?
[22:32] <genii> Haslan: Not necessarily
[22:32] <genii> Haslan: When you have the camera plugged into the computer and camera powered on, with the computer powered off, then boot the computer and go to BIOS, does it show there as a possible boot device?
[22:33] <genii> If so then it should work. If you don't see it there in BIOS as something to boot to, won't work.
[22:40] <Haslan> genii: I'll check
[22:45]  * genii makes another pot of coffee
[22:57] <genii> Haslan: Any progress ?
[22:59] <Haslan> genii: I found a dvd drive so I'm gonna see if I can rip it
[22:59] <genii> Ah, good
[23:04] <Haslan> genii: Nope I couldn't. But I'll just buy a blank dvd another day and fix it then. I have to go to bed now. So tired. Thanks for the help anyway!
