| gump744 | urraka: thats working thanks..everything I put in usr/share/pixmaps shows up in the whsiker menu icon properties choices...just have the find the right icon... | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| urraka | good ;) | 00:01 |
| pflanze | Hum, now it works, missed the panel app somehow or it only showed up now. | 00:01 |
| gump744 | looking for a white hamburger menu and black is all I can find but the panel is black | 00:01 |
| urraka | pflanze, on my netbook wireless would randomly work and stop working without installing a thing (i'm guessing it's the binary driver you mentioned) | 00:02 |
| pflanze | hm. | 00:11 |
| pflanze | This actually is a netbook (eee pc 1008) | 00:11 |
| urraka | agh i'm giving up on this... i'm trying to change the alt+Rclick window resize hotkey to something that doesn't require the keyboard but no luck so far (i was thinking something like middle click or middle click + right click) | 00:12 |
| urraka | any ideas on how to achieve that? | 00:13 |
| urraka | i tried making middle button trigger the alt key using xbindkey and xte but for some reason that's not helping | 00:15 |
| urraka | pflanze, if it's a broadcom wireless this might help you in case you keep having issues http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers | 00:20 |
| urraka | there's a list that says what to install for whatever you have | 00:20 |
| pflanze | How do you install software from xubuntu (apt)? | 00:42 |
| pflanze | Can't find synapctics in the menu. | 00:42 |
| squinty | pflanze, synaptics | 00:49 |
| knome | pflanze, sudo apt install synaptic | 00:50 |
| squinty | pflanze, sudo apt install synaptic | 00:50 |
| pflanze | Why is it not installed by default then? | 00:51 |
| pflanze | And what is this "Software" thing on it? | 00:51 |
| knome | pflanze, because gnome software (^) is installed | 00:51 |
| squinty | which is buggy | 00:52 |
| pflanze | So why does it not install synaptic instead by default? I mean, the xubuntu project has control over this no? | 00:53 |
| knome | pflanze, the xubuntu team decided to install software | 00:53 |
| squinty | the previous software manager is still available in repo's sudo apt install software-center | 00:54 |
| knome | pflanze, synaptic is not the perfect choice for new users | 00:54 |
| pflanze | Well the user of this laptop is a new user. | 00:54 |
| knome | pflanze, and the old software center is unmaintained and unsupported by the upstream | 00:54 |
| pflanze | But "Software" doesn't work at all, empty search results. | 00:54 |
| knome | pflanze, please file a bug | 00:54 |
| xubuntu22w | Hello ,I need help,I installed Xubuntu 16.4 but in the Terminal it says no soundcard,what can I do? | 01:14 |
| martin___ | hi, xorg broken. When I do startx or startxfce I get "error while loading shared libraries: libxkbfile.so.1", does anyone know what is the package containing that file? | 01:40 |
| pflanze | File-roller behaves oddly: seems to show a new progress bar/number of files every 2000 files or so. | 02:07 |
| pflanze | And seems unexpectedly slow. Slow netbook though. | 02:07 |
| urraka | the "Software" app worked "fine" for me after an update | 02:10 |
| urraka | still not great because it's slow and you don't find everything you can install from apt there | 02:10 |
| urraka | that's probably intended i guess, but whatever | 02:11 |
| Andrio | pflanze, that seems like it's trying to avoid wasting time by constantly updating the progress bar. | 02:56 |

| Orioa | ok i have a silly question....does anyone know how to keep a say web browser size you make it and have it open the same size after you reboot or shutdown for the night | 14:40 |
| GeekDude | Orioa: Might be a terrible suggestion, but you could try some trickery with xdotool | 14:45 |
| GeekDude | "xdotool getactivewindow getwindowgeometry" gets a window size/pos, and "xdotool getactivewindow windowsize width height" sets the width/height of the active window | 14:46 |
| GeekDude | I'd need to poke around a bit more in the manual before I could come up with any truly useful advice though | 14:47 |
| Orioa | im not that computer savey | 14:48 |
| flocculant | Orioa: you can also use devilspie (gui for that gdevilspie) - that'll let you set the size, workspace etc for an application | 14:52 |
| Orioa | k ty | 14:56 |
| flocculant | Orioa: if you use that - add devilspie to session startup > application autostart | 14:57 |
| Orioa | hmm installed it but it won't run | 15:02 |
| flocculant | not had issues with it for cycles - run it from a terminal - what does it say? | 15:05 |
| Orioa | File "/usr/bin/gdevilspie", line 893, in <module> | 15:06 |
| Orioa | MainWindow = RulesListWindow() | 15:06 |

| Orioa | if (os.path.exists(xdg.DesktopEntry.xdg_config_home + "/autostart/devilspie.desktop")): | 15:07 |
| Orioa | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute ' | 15:07 |
| flocculant | Orioa: are you using trusty 14.04? | 15:09 |
| Orioa | yes | 15:09 |
| flocculant | ok - hang on a moment | 15:09 |
| flocculant | Orioa: please run dpkg -l gdevilspie |pastebinit | 15:12 |
| flocculant | then give us the url | 15:12 |
| flocculant | that bug was fixed I thought | 15:12 |
| Orioa | http://paste.ubuntu.com/16683852/ | 15:13 |
| flocculant | a not fixed version | 15:14 |
| flocculant | Orioa: Alt+F2 - in the command box pkexec mousepad /usr/bin/gdevilspie | 15:15 |
| flocculant | enter your password | 15:15 |
| flocculant | in mousepad - view - enable line numbers | 15:16 |
| flocculant | go to line 374 and put a # at the beginning | 15:16 |
| flocculant | save and try and open gdevilspie again | 15:16 |
| Orioa | (mousepad:4633): Mousepad-ERROR **: Cannot open display: | 15:17 |
| Orioa | Trace/breakpoint trap | 15:17 |
| flocculant | oh I'm an idiot | 15:18 |
| flocculant | trusty ... use gksudo mousepad /usr/bin/gdevilspie from a terminal | 15:18 |
| flocculant | that should work | 15:18 |
| Orioa | mousepad doesn't show line numbers can you tell me what it starts with | 15:22 |
| flocculant | in the menu's > View> Line Numbers | 15:22 |
| Orioa | nm got it | 15:22 |
| Orioa | didn;t work still nothing | 15:24 |
| Orioa | whoops hold on | 15:24 |
| Orioa | ok got it thank you | 15:25 |
| Orioa | bbl have to take shower before work and again thank you very much | 15:27 |

| urraka | how come i installed xubuntu in english but the calendar stuff shows up in spanish | 22:31 |
| urraka | is it guessing my language from timezone or sometihng | 22:32 |
| urraka | that wuldnt make sense actually, but it must be autodetecting somehow | 22:33 |
| urraka | easily fixable in language settings apparently, but kind of odd that it doesn't just use english which is what i chose during installation | 22:36 |
| xubuntu512 | anyone speak french? i have a trouble with the grub.. he cannot install the grub, and i dont understand this, and im poor with english :( | 23:42 |
