[00:01] <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
[00:02] <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)
[00:11] <pflanze> hm.
[00:11] <pflanze> This actually is a netbook (eee pc 1008)
[00:12] <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)
[00:13] <urraka> any ideas on how to achieve that?
[00:15] <urraka> i tried making middle button trigger the alt key using xbindkey and xte but for some reason that's not helping
[00:20] <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
[00:42] <pflanze> How do you install software from xubuntu (apt)?
[00:42] <pflanze> Can't find synapctics in the menu.
[00:49] <squinty> pflanze,  synaptics
[00:50] <knome> pflanze, sudo apt install synaptic
[00:50] <squinty> pflanze,  sudo apt install synaptic
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <squinty> which is buggy
[00:53] <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
[00:54] <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
[01:14] <xubuntu22w> Hello ,I need help,I installed Xubuntu 16.4 but in the Terminal it says no soundcard,what can I do?
[01:40] <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?
[02:07] <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.
[02:10] <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
[02:11] <urraka> that's probably intended i guess, but whatever
[02:56] <Andrio> pflanze, that seems like it's trying to avoid wasting time by constantly updating the progress bar.
[14:40] <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
[14:45] <GeekDude> Orioa: Might be a terrible suggestion, but you could try some trickery with xdotool
[14:46] <GeekDude> "xdotool getactivewindow getwindowgeometry" gets a window size/pos, and "xdotool getactivewindow windowsize width height" sets the width/height of the active window
[14:47] <GeekDude> I'd need to poke around a bit more in the manual before I could come up with any truly useful advice though
[14:48] <Orioa> im not that computer savey
[14:52] <flocculant> Orioa: you can also use devilspie (gui for that gdevilspie) - that'll let you set the size, workspace etc for an application
[14:56] <Orioa> k ty
[14:57] <flocculant> Orioa: if you use that - add devilspie to session startup > application autostart
[15:02] <Orioa> hmm installed it but it won't run
[15:05] <flocculant> not had issues with it for cycles - run it from a terminal - what does it say?
[15:06] <Orioa>   File "/usr/bin/gdevilspie", line 893, in <module>

[15:09] <flocculant> Orioa: are you using trusty 14.04?
[15:09] <Orioa> yes
[15:09] <flocculant> ok - hang on a moment
[15:12] <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
[15:13] <Orioa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/16683852/
[15:14] <flocculant> a not fixed version
[15:15] <flocculant> Orioa: Alt+F2 - in the command box pkexec mousepad /usr/bin/gdevilspie
[15:15] <flocculant> enter your password
[15:16] <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

[15:17] <Orioa> Trace/breakpoint trap
[15:18] <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
[15:22] <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

[21:10] <r3b00t> Hi
[21:11] <r3b00t> I was trying to reset my ubuntu one password but
[21:12] <r3b00t> the password reset mailer never reaches my inbox
[21:12] <r3b00t> any help pls?
[21:12] <r3b00t> i have subscribed with msn account
[21:12] <r3b00t> if that helps
[22:31] <urraka> how come i installed xubuntu in english but the calendar stuff shows up in spanish
[22:32] <urraka> is it guessing my language from timezone or sometihng
[22:33] <urraka> that wuldnt make sense actually, but it must be autodetecting somehow
[22:36] <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
[23:42] <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 :(
