| tweety | anyone compiled Pidgin from source? | 00:41 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | i am sure somebody has done that sometime. | 00:41 |
| tweety | I could use help from that somebody :) | 00:42 |
| knome | if it's about compiling pidgin, maybe you should ask the pidgin channel | 00:42 |
| tweety | except thay may not know the quirks of xubuntu | 00:43 |
| tweety | *they | 00:43 |
| knome | so... why are you compiling pidgin to begin with? | 00:44 |
| tweety | need a newer ver than 2.10.9 | 00:45 |
| tweety | for one of the plugins | 00:45 |
| knome | and which xubuntu version are you running? | 00:46 |
| krytarik | tweety: There is an official PPA for it. | 00:46 |
| tweety | krytarik: ppa? | 00:47 |
| krytarik | !ppa | 00:47 |
| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 00:47 |
| krytarik | tweety: https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 00:48 |
| tweety | krytarik: it says there: "This PPA is deprecated. | 00:54 |
| tweety | 00:54 | |
| tweety | Install the packages from the official Ubuntu repositories, or build from source instead" | 00:54 |
| krytarik | tweety: Does it have the version of Pidgin you need for your version of Ubuntu? Yes, it does. | 00:58 |
| tweety | krytarik: depends on how you read this: "1:2.10.11-1ubuntu0+pidgin7.14.10 "; does that mean that the pidgin version here is 2.10.11 or 7.14.10? | 01:03 |
| knome | 2.10.11. | 01:03 |
| tweety | then what the heck is 7.14.10? | 01:04 |
| knome | please keep calm | 01:05 |
| krytarik | tweety: Since you said you are on 14.04 anyway, that'd be "pidgin7" + "14.04" there. | 01:05 |
| tweety | knome: I was trying to be funny :) | 01:06 |
| tweety | krytarik: hmm, sorry, perhaps I am too slow now, but how do you decipher their version notation on that line; I mean what is pidgin 7? | 01:11 |
| krytarik | tweety: Just some internal number. | 01:12 |
| krytarik | Ftm, https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=superseded&field.series_filter=trusty | 01:14 |
| tweety | ok, so if I am running 14.o4, should I be getting 1:2.10.11-1ubuntu0+pidgin7.14.10 from your earlier link or pidgin - 1:2.10.11-1ubuntu0+pidgin6.14.04 from your last one? | 01:21 |
| krytarik | tweety: '1:2.10.11-1ubuntu0+pidgin7.14.04' would be what's offered to you by the package manager - notice the "14.04" at the end there as well. | 01:25 |
| krytarik | tweety: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-use-them | 01:28 |
| tweety | krytarik: I've used ppa's bfr; I guess I habbitually went to the latest ver #... and sailed by 14.04... tired eyes... | 01:31 |
| tweety | to sum up, then, you are sure that 2.10.12 isn't available yet (a search for pidgin here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas gives too many options to check)? | 01:33 |
| krytarik | tweety: I wouldn't be bothered to check any further, you got what you need. | 01:37 |
| knome | (and it's you who need the newer version, not krytarik) | 01:37 |
| tweety | I am just tired and was hoping for a shortcut, thanks guys :) | 01:43 |
| tweety | after installing from a ppa get: "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required. Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.". So each of the "no longer required" packages are not removed automaticaly by the instal process and myst be removed individually by hand? | 02:45 |
| tweety | *must | 02:46 |
| krytarik | tweety: Read that message again. | 02:46 |
| krytarik | If by "individually by hand" you mean "sudo apt-get autoremove", then yes. | 02:48 |
| tweety | let me refrase, I only need to issue the command "sudo apt-get autoremove" once to remove them all? | 03:27 |
| tweety | not to issue the same command for every package individually right? | 03:28 |
| krytarik | Yep. | 03:29 |
| tweety | thank God! | 03:31 |
| krytarik | Heh. | 03:31 |
| tweety | also, does autoremove remove all unnecessary packages that acumulated on the system to date, or just the ones created after the latest instal operation? | 03:33 |
| krytarik | Generally. | 03:34 |
| tweety | generally all to date? | 03:35 |
| krytarik | Yep. | 03:35 |
| tweety | good, so I don't have to keep track of useless junk if I dodn't have time to deal with it right there and then ! krytarik: you are just a source of good news today :) | 03:37 |
| krytarik | I laughed, ftm. :P | 03:39 |
| tweety | :) | 03:40 |
| tweety | seriously though, thanks for all the help | 03:41 |
| tweety | and now, time for sleep | 03:41 |
| krytarik | G'night. | 03:43 |
| tweety | G'night | 03:43 |

| xubuntu79i | I discover this OS ! | 11:08 |
| xubuntu79i | I taked the 15.10 it's a good idea ? | 11:10 |
| svetlana | yes | 11:11 |
| svetlana | welcome to xubuntu | 11:11 |
| svetlana | and also welcome to freenode, which is where the xubuntu's channel lives, as well as many other sister channels | 11:11 |
| svetlana | hi again | 11:16 |
| xubuntu90d | Sorry my PC reboot | 11:16 |
| svetlana | it's ok, it took you right back in | 11:16 |
| xubuntu90d | Yes, it's very nice, I a have a new PC... more speed | 11:17 |
| xubuntu90d | In three months I can install the LTS version, but why VLC is not supported ? | 11:19 |
| svetlana | odd. where do you see that? | 11:19 |
| xubuntu90d | It's not in the base package ! | 11:20 |
| svetlana | where are youuu | 11:25 |
| Luyin | he's gone | 11:25 |
| svetlana | i think it's not built-in and he wants to install it in software center | 11:25 |
| Luyin | probably, yes | 11:25 |
| Afdal | Hey can someone tell me what file stores the settings managed by Settings -> Appearance? | 12:13 |
| xubuntu59d | Hello ! | 13:14 |
| xubuntu59d | This time I have my French Xubuntu it's great ! | 13:14 |
| xubuntu59d | I my recup my configuration Thunderbird and Firefox ! | 13:15 |
| xubuntu59d | Sorry I must ! | 13:15 |
| manifolder | hello | 13:20 |
| Afdal | Can anyone tell me where all the applications menu settings are stored? | 13:56 |
| Afdal | I'm making a custom Xubuntu build and I want to modify the default menu slightly | 13:58 |
| manifolder | /etc/xdg/xubuntu/menus/ | 14:17 |
| Guest13960 | problem installing gadmei usb tv stick utv380 | 14:20 |
| Afdal | is it just xfce-applications.menu? | 14:21 |
| manifolder | apparently | 14:21 |
| Afdal | or does xfce-settings-manager.menu control some aspect too? | 14:21 |
| Afdal | oh wait | 14:21 |
| Afdal | the settings manager is just the settings submenu isn't it | 14:22 |
| Guest13960 | yes | 14:22 |
| Guest13960 | actually im new on xubuntu | 14:23 |
| Afdal | What about /etc/xdg/menus/? | 14:23 |
| Afdal | /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu | 14:24 |
| manifolder | checking | 14:24 |
| manifolder | oh no wonder | 14:26 |
| manifolder | the new menu is called whisker not application menu | 14:26 |
| Afdal | I'm primarily concerned with the application menu, since it also affects the menu when you right-click on desktop | 14:27 |
| manifolder | /usr/share/xfce4/whiskermenu | 14:28 |
| Guest13960 | ok lets try | 14:28 |
| manifolder | shows the defaults | 14:29 |
| manifolder | so if youre setting up a build I'd edit that | 14:29 |
| Afdal | what | 14:29 |
| manifolder | /usr/share/xfce4/whiskermenu/defaults.rc | 14:30 |
| Afdal | <.< | 14:30 |
| manifolder | ? | 14:30 |
| Afdal | I... | 14:30 |
| Afdal | I'm not sure that's right >.> | 14:30 |
| manifolder | why? | 14:31 |
| Afdal | hmm | 14:31 |
| Afdal | hold on | 14:31 |
| Afdal | seems like that just concerns the Whisker menu-exclusive elements of the Whisker menu | 14:34 |
| Afdal | yeah I don't think that's what I'm looking for | 14:35 |
| Afdal | /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu and /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/menus/xfce-applications.menu seem to be what I want but I'm not sure which is which | 14:36 |
| Afdal | Okay lemme describe what I wanna do actually | 14:38 |
| Afdal | I want to take my settings from .config/menus | 14:38 |
| Afdal | and copy them to wherever the base file is | 14:39 |
| Afdal | presuming that's even a good idea | 14:39 |
| Afdal | the .config/menus file on my current system has a lot of entries for applications that won't be already installed on this livecd build | 14:40 |
| Afdal | that'll probably mess something up won't it | 14:40 |
| Afdal | you know what, I think /etc/xdg/menus/xfce-applications.menu is just for Xfce sessions | 14:44 |
| Afdal | not a Xubuntu session... | 14:44 |
| sidi | Can anyone please confirm that they can't execute any shell script inside /run? like, sudo echo -e "#!/bin/sh\necho Hello" > /run/foo && chmod +x /run/foo && /run/foo | 15:57 |
| Afdal | So uh | 18:33 |
| Afdal | I"m sure this issue has been brought up before | 18:33 |
| Afdal | but light locker doesn't want to disable screen blanking when running fullscreen applications | 18:34 |
| Afdal | The supposed fix found here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/1309744 | 18:34 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1309744 in xdg-utils (Ubuntu Trusty) "[SRU] Light Locker blanks the screen when playing video" [Medium,Fix released] | 18:34 |
| Afdal | There is one easy workaround: replace the '' in line 435 with 'xfce' and it should work. | 18:34 |
| Afdal | I checked my xdg-screensaver script and it seems to have already been applied | 18:35 |
| xubuntu91d | I'm trying to upgrade from Xubuntu 14.04 to 15.10 but I need to make a pit-stop at 15.04. The automatic upgrade does not seem to want to start even though I click the "Upgrade" button. | 19:35 |
| xubuntu91d | Can someone give me a link to download 15.04 so I can burn it to CD? Can't find the archives. | 19:35 |
| genii | xubuntu91d: Probably better to try: sudo do-release-upgrade ...and see what that does first | 19:38 |
| xubuntu91d | Okay, I'll give that a try. | 19:39 |
| xubuntu91d | "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade." | 19:41 |
| xubuntu91d | === Command terminated with exit status 1 (Wed Jan 27 14:40:05 2016) === | 19:41 |
| xubuntu91d | Could be that I have CUDA 7.5 shoehorned in here. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep at it. | 19:43 |
| krytarik | xubuntu91d: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360293/could-not-calculate-the-upgrade-what-happened | 19:44 |
| xubuntu91d | Yes, looks like most arrows point to proprietary video drivers. | 19:46 |
| marcc | Anybody know how to change the alt-RMB window movement shortcut? | 21:22 |
| Luyin | rmb? | 21:26 |
| svetlana | right mouse button :-) | 21:28 |
| Luyin | marcc: xfce settings manager > window manager tweaks > accessibility > key to grab and move windows | 21:33 |
| Luyin | I actually love it that nearly every "[how] can I" question regarding xfce can be answered ^^ | 21:33 |
