[14:22] <wiredfool> Hi, I'm running xubuntu 14.04lts on a thinkpad t410 -- and I've got 138 copies of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-sound/indicator-sound-service running, and a similar number of init --user --startup-event indicator-services-start running
[14:25] <wiredfool> Not really using audio much, I'm not sure if I've even used gmusicbrowser or rhythmbox this boot.
[16:23] <nomic> i know i can reassign keys with "window manager -> settings" ... I want to reassign a key temporarily using a program (or from command line) - not the GUI

[17:08] <jamesr_> Just installed xubuntu 15.10 w/arc dark gtk theme, but I'm trying to launch firefox with a different gtk theme. Previous I've done this with 'GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Raleigh/gtk-2.0/gtkrc firefox', but firefox is completely ignoring the spec and using the system theme. Any ideas?

[20:24] <alvinflumox> hi
[20:25] <SlidingHorn> hi alvinflumox...have a xubuntu support question we can try to help with?
[20:25] <alvinflumox> is there someone here ?
[20:25] <alvinflumox> yes
[20:27] <alvinflumox> I'm trying to figure out what triggers xfce4-display-settings when I plug an external screen over VGA on my laptop
[20:28] <SlidingHorn> you mean it loads when you plug in the other screen?
[20:28] <alvinflumox> yes
[20:29] <SlidingHorn> interesting...not sure what would cause that, but I'm sure someone will be along soon that can help...just be patient :)
[20:32] <alvinflumox> actually I would like to automatically switch to the external display when I plug it (and reverse)
[20:33] <alvinflumox> I googled that and almost all the forums point to a udev event triggering a script with xrandr
[20:34] <alvinflumox> the problem is that no event appear on my system when I plug/unplug the screen (udevadm)
[20:37] <SlidingHorn> alvinflumox: nothing shows in dmesg? (/var/log/dmesg)
[20:51] <alvinflumox> I don't know exactly what  to search for but with grep VGA I get something like this
[20:52] <alvinflumox> [    2.634858] ACPI: Video Device [VGA] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)
[20:52] <alvinflumox> [    2.654459] ACPI: Video Device [VGA1] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)
[20:52] <alvinflumox> [    3.378118] [drm]   VGA-1
[20:54] <SlidingHorn> I have a stupid question:  When I originally installed Xubuntu 15.10, the installer picked up my home wifi network, and apparently saved its settings/key somewhere.  Where do I find this?  I want to see it so I can duplicate its results for another network at a friend's house
[20:57] <krytarik> SlidingHorn: The one is NetworkManager, the other Gnome Keyring.
[21:01] <SlidingHorn> krytarik: thanks...found it in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections  :)
[21:01] <krytarik> Yep.
[21:02] <SlidingHorn> alvinflumox: try running:   tail -f /var/log/dmesg      and while you're looking at it, plug in the second monitor (please use a pastebin to post the results - http://paste.ubuntu.com)
[21:33] <alvinflumox> SlidingHorn : tail gives me absolutely nothing.
