| jdwwatts | is there a way to create root ? | 04:06 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | !root | 04:07 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:07 |
| jdwwatts | yes ive used that but it doesnt seem to give youall the privilages | 04:08 |
| jdwwatts | its just extra typing to put sudo in the right place in the term emulater everytime if you have many things to do | 04:16 |
| Network2501 | su | 04:17 |
| jdwwatts | doesnt have a password | 04:18 |
| jdwwatts | Sudo | 04:19 |
| SonikkuAmerica | sudo is the way to do things here, pkexec (or (gk|kde)sudo for graphical stuff) | 04:24 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Actually, here, pkexec is the preferred method of graphical applications with escalated privileges. | 04:24 |
| jdwwatts | yes its good that everything works so well without tweks to much anymore | 04:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I miss the Bluebird theme though | 04:31 |
| jdwwatts | so it is pe value and make a root password but its discouragedossible to change th | 04:33 |
| jdwwatts | what | 04:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | um... what now? | 04:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Yes, you can make a root password. We also strongly advise against it | 04:41 |

| amaroq | Hello mice | 09:35 |
| amaroq | Can someone advise me where I might find xfce themes for xubuntu, like faenza and axiom | 09:36 |
| amaroq | Is there a good site for telling us how we can customize xubuntu ? | 09:38 |
| amaroq | what's the best way to install skype? | 10:06 |
| bazhang | from the partner repos | 10:06 |
| bazhang | there are several sites, the first things you must do on installing xubuntu | 10:07 |
| bazhang | !info skype partner | 10:07 |
| ubottu | skype (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service. In component main, is extra. Version 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (partner), package size 15 kB, installed size 61 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 10:07 |
| bazhang | !themes | 10:07 |
| ubottu | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager -> Appearance (tabs Style, Icons) and/or Settings Manager -> Window Manager (tab Style). Starting with Xubuntu 13.10, you can control some of your theme colors from Settings Manager -> Theme Configuration. | 10:07 |
| bazhang | there's also a xfce themes website | 10:08 |
| amaroq | !version | 10:10 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 10:10 |
| amaroq | am confused. I seem to have installed Trusty Tahr. Is that 15.10 ? | 10:12 |
| bazhang | !trusty | 10:18 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes | 10:18 |
| bazhang | noper | 10:18 |
| === skribblezatcha is now known as pencilandpaper | ||
| amaroq | So, how come I got 14.04 when 15.10 is out? | 10:28 |
| bazhang | you didnt upgrade? | 10:29 |
| bazhang | if you wish to upgrade, 16.04 is in a three months or so, and is a one step upgrade | 10:29 |
| bazhang | otherwise, its a step by step by step | 10:30 |
| bazhang | lts to lts | 10:30 |
| bazhang | you're on xubuntu, so I would look more at what xfce4 will be in there, and if you wish a much newer kernel | 10:31 |
| bazhang | staying with the 14.04 for the full support is very viable | 10:32 |
| bazhang | it's long term support | 10:32 |
| amaroq | thanks, bazhang I guess, I'll stick with 14.04 now that its installed, although i would have gone with 15.10. 16.04 is not far away now | 10:33 |
| bazhang | np | 10:34 |
| bazhang | its xubuntu at the end of the day so its all good | 10:34 |
| amaroq | I'm following this tutorial: http://xfce-look.org/content/show.php/axiom+xfwm?content=90145 | 10:55 |
| amaroq | Wouldn't: " rm -R axio* " be removing axiom theme? | 10:55 |
| bazhang | use the actual theme tools management to do that | 10:59 |
| bazhang | why risk it in command line if you really dont know how | 11:00 |
| amaroq | which tool is that bazhang ? Appearance? | 11:17 |
| bazhang | did you not see the themes link the bot gave you above | 11:21 |
| === skribblezatcha is now known as pencilandpaper | ||
| amaroq | the bot gave a a themes link?? | 11:24 |
| bazhang | To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager -> Appearance (tabs Style, Icons) and/or Settings Manager -> Window Manager (tab Style). Starting with Xubuntu 13.10, you can control some of your theme colors from Settings Manager -> Theme Configuration. | 11:25 |
| bazhang | that | 11:25 |
| amaroq | maybe, I have to install it, but I don't see Setting Manager | 11:30 |
| bazhang | amaroq, I have provided quite a bit of info, you will need to read the links and check the settings a bit on your own now | 11:32 |
| amaroq | I see that there is a xfce-theme manager, but its ppa http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/xfce-theme-manager-single-gui-to-change.html | 11:32 |
| bazhang | thats from around 3 years ago | 11:33 |
| amaroq | appreciate it, bazhang ^ but i don't see a "Settings Manager" | 11:33 |
| bazhang | good luck | 11:33 |
| amaroq | so mean | 11:33 |
| amaroq | found it, but its like Appearance, which I mentioned already ^ | 11:34 |
| amaroq | but there is no "window manager" tab | 11:35 |
| amaroq | its certainly not an app for installing themes | 11:37 |
| gbe | hi | 11:45 |
| amaroq | can I simply remove abiword, or is it part of metapackage? | 12:06 |
| amaroq | strange it ships with abiword but Firefox. FF is not light | 12:06 |
| amaroq | does xfce have default browser? | 12:07 |
| knome | amaroq, you can remove abiword, but it removes the metapackage too | 12:08 |
| knome | amaroq, not that you need the metapackage | 12:08 |
| amaroq | knome, what else is in it? obviously no necessary or vital dependencies | 12:09 |
| knome | removing a metapackage doesn't remove anything that is in it | 12:10 |
| amaroq | i ask because I remember a time when we couldn't remove Nautilus or something without removing half of Ubuntu and ending up with a broken distro | 12:11 |
| knome | then it wasn't a question of removing a metapackage but something else | 12:11 |
| amaroq | the way it was explained at the time, I understood it was because the single app i wanted to delete was part of a wider (meta)package. Uninstalling one had ramifications beyond the single app | 12:13 |
| knome | that's wrong | 12:13 |
| knome | removing abiword should not remove anything essential, unless there is something really wrong in your system | 12:14 |
| amaroq | cool | 12:14 |
| knome | the package manager should show you a list of packages that are going to be removed | 12:15 |
| knome | review that and see if it's alarmingly big | 12:15 |
| amaroq | you're right, synaptic shows me that Abiword can be removed on its own without affecting other things | 12:17 |
| amaroq | this was some time ago and in Ubuntu. So, maybe different | 12:17 |
| knome | it's exactly the same, but maybe removing nautilus had a bigger impact then | 12:25 |

| well_laid_lawn | xubuntu91w: edit the conf file in ~/.config/xfce4/panel/ | 19:05 |
| xubuntu91w | Great! Lemme check :D | 19:05 |

| king_arthwr | anyone else had audio problems with 15.10? | 22:33 |
| knome | king_arthwr, if you actually described what your problem is, we might be able to help you | 22:34 |
| king_arthwr | knome, actually the sound didn't work out at all... When I open the configurations I can see the sound bar moving, but no sound audible... Then I installed other version and it's working again... | 22:35 |
| rattking | earlier I was asking if anyone knew how to get ssh agent forwarding to work with ED keys and certs, I ended up getting it by removing gnome-keyring all together | 22:35 |
| king_arthwr | I've tried to uninstall and reinstall pulse... alsa... but nothing worked | 22:36 |
| rattking | king_arthwr: it might be worth playing around with pavucontrol and selecting the output device | 22:40 |
| * rattking is just guessing here | 22:41 | |
| RoadRunner | there is a bug in setting wallpapers | 22:41 |
| RoadRunner | if a new folder with images is chosen, it is not remembered and reverts to the default folder | 22:42 |

| knome | RoadRunner, or the xfce bugzilla? | 22:56 |
| knome | RoadRunner, those are the best places to "mention" bugs | 22:56 |

| Azelphur | iptables | 23:48 |
| knome | RoadRunner, "better" meaning what? | 23:50 |
| RoadRunner | most advanced... current... easy to use... | 23:51 |
| bazhang | !find dansguardian | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Found: dansguardian, libdansguardian-perl | 23:51 |
| bazhang | !info dansguardian | 23:51 |

| bazhang | is peerguardian some warez thing blocker | 23:52 |
| RoadRunner | knome: I am hoping there is a consensus out there without starting to split heirs | 23:52 |
| knome | RoadRunner, advanced and easy-to-use are usually blocking each other, so i guess you need to pick one... | 23:52 |
| knome | i'm not splitting hair - there are as many "best" alternatives as there are users on this channel | 23:52 |
| knome | for examples, iptables can do whatever you can imagine, but it's not easy-to-use | 23:53 |
| bazhang | !find peerguardian | 23:53 |
| ubottu | Package/file peerguardian does not exist in wily | 23:53 |
| knome | for Azelphur, it might be the best option though | 23:53 |
| bazhang | no idea what peerguardian is or does | 23:53 |
| Azelphur | bazhang: it's basically a firewall that takes a list of IP addresses. | 23:54 |
| Azelphur | I agree with knome it depends on your definition of better, but iptables is probably going to be faster (and thus imo, better) than anything else out there. Just might not be as easy to use which may be an important factor in it being better for this fellow | 23:54 |
| RoadRunner | I am just coming from the world of Win, there there was PeerGuardian and then it became PeerBlock, but continued to be PG under linux, hence my question | 23:55 |
| Azelphur | RoadRunner: yea, welcome to Linux, there's more than one way to make an egg :P | 23:56 |
| knome | RoadRunner, judging by that, you likely want a graphical user interface, which provides you an easy access to the most common options - am i right? | 23:56 |
| RoadRunner | if iptables uses command line only, then its not for me yet... | 23:56 |
| Azelphur | I'd agree with knome, sounds like iptables wouldn't be best for you. | 23:56 |
| bazhang | Azelphur, what does it collect the ip addresses for | 23:56 |
| Azelphur | bazhang: it doesn't - you supply it with a list afaik. | 23:57 |
| Azelphur | so use case is fairly wide | 23:57 |
| bazhang | so just hacking prevention to feed to iptables | 23:57 |
| Azelphur | RoadRunner: it actually looks like PeerGuardian uses iptables in the background anyway, if you're familiar with PeerGuardian and it has a Linux version, why not use it? | 23:57 |
| RoadRunner | Azelphur: it is not available in Ubuntu's software center, and its version on SourceForge needs to be configured and compiled first, ie: no ready made easy package available | 23:59 |
