[00:27] <sergio-br2> uh, I'm trying xubuntu at virtualbox
[00:28] <sergio-br2> the last daily has to mousepad icons...
[00:28] <sergio-br2> one in top of another
[00:28] <xangua> sergio-br2: only stable releases supported here
[00:28] <sergio-br2> ok, never mind
[00:31] <xangua> If you want Xenial support please join #Ubuntu+1
[00:32] <sergio-br2> nvm
[01:54] <ratnot> hello all...can anyone guide me on how to manually install software from a disc with linux?
[02:16] <xubuntu85w> hello?
[03:13] <xangua> ratnot: what do you want to install exactly?
[03:43] <xubuntu87w> UPDATE MANAGER - how do I stop it offering me stuff I DON'T WANT .... permenantly ? .....
[05:56] <aksdfafd> How do I make xubuntu ask for a password to login instead of just logging in automatically?
[06:32] <MasterSultan> Okay, I cannot get xubuntu to ask me for a password when I login.  I have tried to go to /etc/lightdm/  ... but there is no lightdm.conf file there to edit....I went to users and groups but that isn't helping either...any help?
[06:36] <krytarik> MasterSultan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Configuration
[06:40] <MasterSultan> krytarik, I am sure that would help most people, but I can't make heads or tails of what it is trying to tell me to do.
[06:44] <MasterSultan> I guess I just wont have a system that asks for a password on login.
[06:44] <MasterSultan> fuck it
[10:55] <jarnos> I wonder why chromium-browser's location bar does not follow the dpi setting made in Xfce's Appearance settings; also text is very small in browser window. google-chrome does after restarting.
[10:55] <jarnos> chromium also starts much slower than chrome. This is in 15.10.
[11:00] <jarnos> I wonder, if google-chrome's security updates will be installed, if you setup automatic installation of security updates?
[11:00] <Linus_> Is XFCE good for HiDPI monitors?
[11:01] <Linus_> jarnos: besides chromium, does XFCE work well with HiDPI?
[11:01] <jarnos> Linus_, it could be better. you can not set different dpi for different monitors in multimonitor setup.
[11:02] <Linus_> jarnos: oh, that sucks, -- what if you connect external monitor, and shut off the internal monitor?
[11:02] <jarnos> Linus_, but the dpi setting I wrote above seems to work nice with most apps.
[11:02] <Linus_> it wont automatically adjust to the 1080p TV?
[11:04] <jarnos> Linus_, well, the DPI setting remains.
[11:08] <jarnos> Linus_, oh I am not sure, if you do not use the custom setting.
[11:09] <Linus_> hmmmm, any other problems?  i am thinking about buying hidpi laptop
[11:26] <jarnos> Linus_, not that I know of. I think objects should remain in same size no matter, if I change display resolution. I wonder, if there is a DE that does that.
[11:26] <Linus_> jarnos: unity and gnome are pretty good with HiDPI, but i like xfce better  :)
[12:23] <xubuntu90w> I work at a public school and we have been running xubuntu on older equipment for about 1 year.  Now that Chrome 32-bit will no longer receive security updates on linux 32-bit, I'm thinking about using the x64 xubuntu on the older machines.
[12:25] <xubuntu90w> My question is, if the computer is x64 capable, what is the minimum system requirement (Ram/Chip) and will xubuntu run okay with 1 gb of ram on these older machines. TIA
[13:05] <knome> xubuntu90w, it's nothing exact (whether you are fine with the speed with your setup is subjective), but 1GB is the least recommended RAM (even if xubuntu can run with less)
[13:06] <knome> xubuntu90w, and for when it comes to the difference between 32/64-bit, there is no (significant) difference
[13:13] <xubuntu90w> Thank you for for the help!  I'm going to go ahead and begin to install the x64 version of xubuntu on these computers.
[13:14] <knome> good luck :)
[13:14] <knome> (and have fun)
[13:15] <xubuntu90w> Xubuntu has been a great find for our district, we have  been able to repurpose our old equipment into student labs.  Thank you!
[13:16] <knome> xubuntu90w, btw, if you are interested... we run this article series: http://wiki.xubuntu.org/doku.php?id=marketing:projects:xubuntuat
[13:16] <knome> xubuntu90w, basically, we write about organizations that use xubuntu (etc)
[13:16] <knome> xubuntu90w, if you want to get involved, i can get you started
[13:19] <xubuntu90w> Let me clear it with my tech director and I will get back to you.
[13:19] <knome> sure
[13:21] <knome> xubuntu90w, basically, you can either give us an email address for a person/persons who are able to answer the questions, and we'll be in touch with you :)
[13:21] <knome> OR you can come to #xubuntu-devel and we can organize the thing there
[13:22] <knome> but it'll still likely go through email in a way or another
[13:27] <asmodai> Is there any way to beat display into submission? Bloody thing keeps mucking around with the config for the laptop (closed lid) and two external monitors and it's driving me bonkers.
[13:50] <Afdla> how to start xfce4-notifyd?
[13:52] <ratnot> can anyone tell me why xubuntu want update drivers properly?
[13:57] <asmodai> Afdla: maybe via Super + R > Session and Startup > Application Autostart?
[13:59] <Afdla> asmodai: it's not there
[13:59] <Afdla> but it seems I can send notifications with "notify-send"
[13:59] <Afdla> which is weird as I'm not running the xfce4-notifyd
[14:00] <Afdla> ps -ef | grep notify
[14:00] <Afdla> doesn't list it
[14:01] <Afdla> I wonder if it's because I actually have ubuntu but I just removed unity and installed xfce
[14:09] <asmodai> Afdla: Ah, seems it's a system daemon. Running Xubuntu and it is running.
[14:09] <Afdla> I just found out I'm running notify-osd
[14:09] <Afdla> is it somehow blocking xfce4-notifyd because the settings for xfce4-notifyd aren't working
[14:10] <Afdla> when I change theme the preview is broken
[15:37] <xubuntu99d> help
[15:37] <xubuntu99d> ive recently installed ubuntu
[15:38] <xubuntu99d> is there  any way to change /home toc;
[15:38] <xubuntu99d> C;
[15:38] <xangua> No
[15:56] <asmodai> Ok, that question was just weird.
[16:04] <genii> asmodai: I've seen the same question in different incarnations quite a few times actually
[17:24] <Luyin> what the heck is the question supposed to mean?
[17:34] <genii> Luyin: Mostly it's people wanting all the things that used to appear on the desktop of their Windows to show up on their *buntu desktop
[17:35] <Luyin> genii: I don't know anything about the english/international ubuntu help pages, but the german ubuntu wiki is very good for learners.. I'd send them there
[18:20] <jalt> ##ubuntu was not helpful, so here goes: what is the best way to upgrade the gcc toolchain in xubuntu 14.04? test ppa?
[18:22] <xangua> The recommended is to use packages from the official Ubuntu repository
[18:22] <xangua> Anything else you're on your own
[18:25] <jalt> 14.04 is on 4.8, which lacks decent C11 support. there is some half-baked 4.9 gcc-base in there but no C frontend. i believe only go was supported. i understand that using soemthing else will be unsupported, but i was trying to gather feedback about the best way of disabling current gcc and getting a newer one as default
[18:26] <bazhang> search the ppa if you wish or compile jalt
[18:27] <jalt> i what what the ppa is, i wanted to know if there was another suggested alternative, which i guess there isn't :)
[18:28] <bazhang> !ppa
[18:28] <bazhang> see above jalt
[18:28] <jalt> *i know what, oops
[18:28] <jalt> thanks still
[18:28] <xangua> jalt: it's up to you to decide, if you want stability our latest software, if you wanted latest then why did you install 14.04?
[18:29] <xangua> Stability or* latest software
[18:29] <bazhang> !find gcc xenial
[18:29] <bazhang> !info gcc xenial
[18:30] <jalt> xangua, i want a stable usable system, and adding a new gcc should not have any impact on that
[20:01] <eragera> !help
