ilzolendei'm here because my computer has spontaneously stopped letting me use the menu bar at the top03:18
ilzolendewhich is a problem because i like to run apps in fullscreen mode and use said menu bar to navigate between windows03:18
ilzolendeshould i just reboot or is this a problem with a more obvious solution?03:18
ilzolendeit still shows changes in volume or highlights the names of selected windows, it just doesn't do anything when clicked03:19

xanguaI'm confused in the part where you say I'm in the Ubuntu using the xubuntu04:45
xanguaDid you install Ubuntu and installed xfce after? Or did you just install xubuntu?04:45
ilzolendei installed xfce, which offered me both an "xfce mode" and a very similar looking but separately named "xubuntu mode"04:46
ilzolendewhich was weird, because this is probably just xfce-with-color-tweaks or something04:46

MoHi, I need to switch physical screens when taking the laptop out of office. However the output setting on the panels has disappeared when switching from 3 external screens to 1 internal screen. I'd like to have a fixed setting for each screen, disabling the panels when the screen does not exist without deleting the panel setup.10:04

EightBitLinkAnd now obviously my machine won't boot19:57
EightBitLinkIt seems to have to do with EFI20:01
xubuntu49wHi, I just installed Xubuntu 16.04 LTS on my laptop.  The wireless network said it is connected, but the Firefox can't load any webpages.  Does anyone know what to do about that?21:34
xubuntu49wI used the AMD64 version.  Some people said that is OK even thought the computer is Intel 64 bit.  I think it must be okay because the desktop apps work fine.  Just thought I would add that in there.21:36
xubuntu477bonjour21:39
xubuntu477j'ai un soucis avec mon xubuntu21:39
Spassxubuntu49w: Your version is OK, architecture and manufacturer are two different things. Can you ping a website from the terminal? Try "ping -c 10 amazon.com" and "ping -c 10 54.239.25.208"21:41
xubuntu477Avec le terminal ?21:42
xubuntu477c'est au demarrage qu'il beug souvent21:42
Spassxubuntu477: Sorry, I don't speak French. My message was to different user.21:43

Spassxubuntu477: Probably you can get support at #ubuntu-fr faster than here.21:46
xubuntu49wHi, I will check the ping.21:54
xubuntu49wJust pinged amazon.com.  It said "bad number of packets to transmit.21:55
krytarikxubuntu49w: That's a ten.21:57
xubuntu49wResult of ping -c 10 54.239.25.208 was as follows21:57

xubuntu49wI'm trying to figure out the paste.ubuntu.com.  Do I use the xubuntu49w name without the <>? I'll try that22:12
Spass_xubuntu49w: I was suspecting there's something wrong with your DNS, but it looks like the problem is deeper. Please be patient and wait for someone who will recommend a solution (or who will investigate).22:13
xubuntu49wthanks spass.22:13
knomexubuntu49w, you can type anything in the nickname, as long as you paste us the url when you're ready22:16

studio-user457hello ! can anyone explain me how to configure screen tablet. I have to rotate my head... i would prefer rotate my screen :) [23:06] <studio-user457> which file am i supposed to edit in order to configure my screen ?22:21
studio-user457i go to display->setting but i cannot reach rotate to the left and to the right... and my screen rate isnot good...22:23
xubuntu49whttp://paste.ubuntu.com/23621022/22:24
xubuntu49wThat one is more full.  I have to type it out because that computer won't connect to a site like this one.22:25
krytarikstudio-user457: Try to just move the window with Alt + left-click → drag?22:26
krytarikxubuntu49w: Try in the main #ubuntu channel as well - this is a general wireless connectivity issue.22:29
xubuntu49wOkay I will post there as well.22:29
studio-user457krytarik: thanks. no its not  a problem of window position but a proble of choice.. right and left options are grayout22:30
krytarikAha, yeah that wasn't clear by your wording.22:31
studio-user457;) is there a file to edit to be able to choose this left and right options ?22:33
Spass_studio-user457: I would go here ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml22:35
Spass_And change value under "Rotation" to 90 or 270. But it may explode/crash/etc...22:37
Spass_There's a GUI tool for that too, xfce4-settings-editor22:38
krytarikI'll note that fiddling with those settings files manually while logged in will not work.22:40
Spass_It's risky, because I don't have a clue why these options are greyed-out in the proper screen settings.22:40
Spass_krytarik: Good to know.22:40
Spass_Another small thing learned about Xfce from just being on IRC.22:42
krytarik\o/22:43
studio-user457i tried to change these values with the way of "Rotation" to 90 or 270 and xfce4-settings-editor... nohing happens..22:46
studio-user457i have my neck coming tired ;)22:48
studio-user457for moment my options is to rotate my head :)22:48

ubottustudio-user457: arandr (source: arandr): Simple visual front end for XRandR. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.9-1 (yakkety), package size 51 kB, installed size 309 kB22:54
studio-user457krytarik: ok, i will do an apt ;)22:55
studio-user457krytqrik:... useful but... same result22:57
studio-user457the 3 options right, left and inverted are gray-out22:58
studio-user457..22:58
studio-user457krytarik:help ;)22:59
krytarikYeah, noticed - so direct XRandR wouldn't work either then.22:59
Spass_So even changed values in displays.xml (when log out) will not work and could possibly break things?23:01
