urrakagood ;)00:01
pflanzeHum, now it works, missed the panel app somehow or it only showed up now.00:01
gump744looking for a white hamburger menu and black is all I can find but the panel is black00:01
urrakapflanze, 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
pflanzehm.00:11
pflanzeThis actually is a netbook (eee pc 1008)00:11
urrakaagh 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
urrakaany ideas on how to achieve that?00:13
urrakai tried making middle button trigger the alt key using xbindkey and xte but for some reason that's not helping00:15
urrakapflanze, if it's a broadcom wireless this might help you in case you keep having issues http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers00:20
urrakathere's a list that says what to install for whatever you have00:20
pflanzeHow do you install software from xubuntu (apt)?00:42
pflanzeCan't find synapctics in the menu.00:42
squintypflanze,  synaptics00:49
knomepflanze, sudo apt install synaptic00:50
squintypflanze,  sudo apt install synaptic00:50
pflanzeWhy is it not installed by default then?00:51
pflanzeAnd what is this "Software" thing on it?00:51
knomepflanze, because gnome software (^) is installed00:51
squintywhich is buggy00:52
pflanzeSo why does it not install synaptic instead by default? I mean, the xubuntu project has control over this no?00:53
knomepflanze, the xubuntu team decided to install software00:53
squintythe previous software manager is still available in repo's   sudo apt install software-center00:54
knomepflanze, synaptic is not the perfect choice for new users00:54
pflanzeWell the user of this laptop is a new user.00:54
knomepflanze, and the old software center is unmaintained and unsupported by the upstream00:54
pflanzeBut "Software" doesn't work at all, empty search results.00:54
knomepflanze, please file a bug00:54
xubuntu22wHello ,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
pflanzeFile-roller behaves oddly: seems to show a new progress bar/number of files every 2000 files or so.02:07
pflanzeAnd seems unexpectedly slow. Slow netbook though.02:07
urrakathe "Software" app worked "fine" for me after an update02:10
urrakastill not great because it's slow and you don't find everything you can install from apt there02:10
urrakathat's probably intended i guess, but whatever02:11
Andriopflanze, that seems like it's trying to avoid wasting time by constantly updating the progress bar.02:56

Orioaok 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 night14:40
GeekDudeOrioa: Might be a terrible suggestion, but you could try some trickery with xdotool14:45
GeekDude"xdotool getactivewindow getwindowgeometry" gets a window size/pos, and "xdotool getactivewindow windowsize width height" sets the width/height of the active window14:46
GeekDudeI'd need to poke around a bit more in the manual before I could come up with any truly useful advice though14:47
Orioaim not that computer savey14:48
flocculantOrioa: you can also use devilspie (gui for that gdevilspie) - that'll let you set the size, workspace etc for an application14:52
Orioak ty14:56
flocculantOrioa: if you use that - add devilspie to session startup > application autostart14:57
Orioahmm installed it but it won't run15:02
flocculantnot 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

urrakahow come i installed xubuntu in english but the calendar stuff shows up in spanish22:31
urrakais it guessing my language from timezone or sometihng22:32
urrakathat wuldnt make sense actually, but it must be autodetecting somehow22:33
urrakaeasily fixable in language settings apparently, but kind of odd that it doesn't just use english which is what i chose during installation22:36
xubuntu512anyone 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
