arcasysHeelo. I'm new to this channel. I've installed xubuntu 10.04 on a HP-RP7-Retail-System-Model-7800 having a second 7'' display next to the main 17'' touch display.09:33
flocculantarcasys: 10.04 was out of support years ago09:36
arcasysSorry, I meant 14.04! The 7'' display is a DisplayLink USB connected Monnitor. The following two problems arise: 1. Starting xubuntu from the Live CD shows the second monitor fine after it has been configured in the settings menu. After installing xubuntu on the hard disk the second monitor is still recognized and shown for configuration but the sceen remains black.09:42
arcasysProblem 2: When the second display (no touch) is configured to be e.g. below the main monnitor. The main monitors touch is out of calibration because the touch obviously assumes the total height although the reference should be only the main monitors area. This is BTW the same with xfce4-session version 4.12 (I've tried an upgrade but monitor configuration has unfortunateloy not improved in any way.09:46
oswinHi11:42

knomeviralsdead, which rm command?13:16
knomeviralsdead, tbh, your best bet might be just reinstalling if you did a lot of damage13:16
knomeviralsdead, if /home is still intact, backup stuff that matters to you from there13:16
viralsdeadrunning 4.xx kernel on xubuntu wily 15.1013:19
viralsdeadknome, running 4.xx kernel on xubuntu wily 15.1013:20

viralsdeadSorry dont 'k'nome how to respond directly to you Knome13:21
viralsdeadyou mean the string?13:21
knomeviralsdead, i asked you: "which command did you run"13:21
knomeand you reply to me by telling which kernel you are running...13:21
viralsdeadSorry Im not the best apple in the tree... I ran rm?13:22
knomeviralsdead, what is your native language?13:22
viralsdeadlike to remove a file or directory, and my home is gone so yeah thats my main need back... and I have it as a separtate partition /dev/sda313:23
viralsdeadI live in Germany but English13:23
knomeok, so as i said; if you have done a lot of damage, then the best way to recover is reinstalling13:26
xubuntu15wHi everyone. I have a question where XFCE or Ubuntu in general handles icons. I started using a new icon folder under /usr/share/Black-Diamond/scalable and the result was strange. Some icons were utterly oversized and others normal. From the subfolder /48 i moved up icons which fixed most issues. However that made other icons miniscule. It seems the system sometimes uses icons from the subfolders and sometimes from the parent. How 13:45
viralsdeadKnome, Yes I have done this, I just put my other hd in and reinstalled xubuntu... but  really want the data back off the old hd... its like my source code and a lot of dev stuff...  was moving around and organizing some of my development workspace and dont have where  was at backed up... its like stepping back several weeks so its alot of writing and coding...13:45
xubuntu15w...continued. Now the icons in the Panel0 "sound settings" are perfectly sized 48px but the icons in the whisker start are far to small.13:47
xubuntu15wI know I can right click on the panel and change which icon to use. But that is not possible in the whisker menu. It means some icons are normally sized whereas others are very small13:56

DoomBoomxubuntu75w, I'm no expert but wouldn't the latest just work? Just check if yours is 32 bit or 64 bit and pick the right one from the site17:00

dash-25hi all... need a linux distro and thought I'd give xubuntu a try.  Should I install 14.04 or 15.10?17:29
knomedash-25, 16.04 (eg. the next LTS) is released soon, so unless it's a very important production machine, i'd probably go with 15.1018:23
