[01:29] <xubuntu24w> Hello. My mouse disappears. Couple threads that it's solved but can't find the solution.
[01:34] <xubuntu24w> Anyone who can help it would be appreciated.
[03:18] <ilzolende> i'm here because my computer has spontaneously stopped letting me use the menu bar at the top
[03:18] <ilzolende> which is a problem because i like to run apps in fullscreen mode and use said menu bar to navigate between windows
[03:18] <ilzolende> should i just reboot or is this a problem with a more obvious solution?
[03:19] <ilzolende> it still shows changes in volume or highlights the names of selected windows, it just doesn't do anything when clicked
[04:39] <ilzolende> my computer has spontaneously stopped letting me use the menu bar at the top
[04:39] <ilzolende> (i'm on ubuntu using the xubuntu ... desktop environment? windowing thing?)
[04:39] <ilzolende> which is a problem because i like to run apps in fullscreen mode, and minimize windows, and use said menu bar to navigate between windows
[04:39] <ilzolende> should i just reboot or is this a problem with a more obvious solution?
[04:39] <ilzolende> it still shows changes in volume or highlights the names of selected windows, it just doesn't do anything when clicked
[04:40] <ilzolende> argh i reposted this into the same channel
[04:40] <ilzolende> whoops
[04:40] <ilzolende> sorry, guys
[04:45] <xangua> I'm confused in the part where you say I'm in the Ubuntu using the xubuntu
[04:45] <xangua> Did you install Ubuntu and installed xfce after? Or did you just install xubuntu?
[04:46] <ilzolende> i installed xfce, which offered me both an "xfce mode" and a very similar looking but separately named "xubuntu mode"
[04:46] <ilzolende> which was weird, because this is probably just xfce-with-color-tweaks or something
[10:04] <Mo> Hi, 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.
[17:28] <CrackedCracker> Hello guys,
[17:28] <CrackedCracker> Could you please tell, what's the name of default theme for xubuntu and what package it comes from?
[17:28] <CrackedCracker> I need to try to reinstall that, but don't know the name
[17:29] <pleia2> CrackedCracker: greybird-gtk-theme
[17:29] <CrackedCracker> pleia2: thank you
[17:29] <pleia2> welcome
[19:57] <EightBitLink> I tried installing Xubuntu 16.04 and 16.10, but the grub install fails
[19:57] <EightBitLink> And now obviously my machine won't boot
[20:01] <EightBitLink> It seems to have to do with EFI
[21:34] <xubuntu49w> Hi, 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?
[21:36] <xubuntu49w> I 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.
[21:39] <xubuntu477> bonjour
[21:39] <xubuntu477> j'ai un soucis avec mon xubuntu
[21:41] <Spass> xubuntu49w: 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"
[21:42] <xubuntu477> Avec le terminal ?
[21:42] <xubuntu477> c'est au demarrage qu'il beug souvent
[21:43] <Spass> xubuntu477: Sorry, I don't speak French. My message was to different user.
[21:44] <xubuntu477> j'ai un probleme avec xubuntu au del
[21:44] <xubuntu477> demarage
[21:46] <Spass> xubuntu477: Probably you can get support at #ubuntu-fr faster than here.
[21:54] <xubuntu49w> Hi, I will check the ping.
[21:55] <xubuntu49w> Just pinged amazon.com.  It said "bad number of packets to transmit.
[21:57] <krytarik> xubuntu49w: That's a ten.
[21:57] <xubuntu49w> Result of ping -c 10 54.239.25.208 was as follows
[21:58] <xubuntu49w> 56(84) bypes of data
[21:58] <genii> !pastebin

[22:06] <studio-user457> hello ! can anyone explain me how to configure screen tablet. I have to rotate my head... i would prefer rotate my screen :)
[22:06] <studio-user457> which file am i supposed to edit in order to configure my screen ?
[22:11] <xubuntu49w> Result of ping -c 10 54.239.25.208 was as follows   56(84) bypes of data  --stats-- 10 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 8999ms
[22:12] <xubuntu49w> I'm trying to figure out the paste.ubuntu.com.  Do I use the xubuntu49w name without the <>? I'll try that
[22:13] <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] <xubuntu49w> thanks spass.
[22:16] <knome> xubuntu49w, you can type anything in the nickname, as long as you paste us the url when you're ready
[22:17] <xubuntu49w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23620974/
[22:21] <studio-user457> hello ! 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 ?
[22:23] <studio-user457> i go to display->setting but i cannot reach rotate to the left and to the right... and my screen rate isnot good...
[22:24] <xubuntu49w> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23621022/
[22:25] <xubuntu49w> That one is more full.  I have to type it out because that computer won't connect to a site like this one.
[22:26] <krytarik> studio-user457: Try to just move the window with Alt + left-click → drag?
[22:29] <krytarik> xubuntu49w: Try in the main #ubuntu channel as well - this is a general wireless connectivity issue.
[22:29] <xubuntu49w> Okay I will post there as well.
[22:30] <studio-user457> krytarik: thanks. no its not  a problem of window position but a proble of choice.. right and left options are grayout
[22:31] <krytarik> Aha, yeah that wasn't clear by your wording.
[22:33] <studio-user457> ;) is there a file to edit to be able to choose this left and right options ?
[22:35] <Spass_> studio-user457: I would go here ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[22:37] <Spass_> And change value under "Rotation" to 90 or 270. But it may explode/crash/etc...
[22:38] <Spass_> There's a GUI tool for that too, xfce4-settings-editor
[22:40] <krytarik> I'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.
[22:42] <Spass_> Another small thing learned about Xfce from just being on IRC.
[22:43] <krytarik> \o/
[22:46] <studio-user457> i tried to change these values with the way of "Rotation" to 90 or 270 and xfce4-settings-editor... nohing happens..
[22:48] <studio-user457> i have my neck coming tired ;)
[22:48] <studio-user457> for moment my options is to rotate my head :)
[22:54] <krytarik> !info arandr | studio-user457
[22:55] <studio-user457> krytarik: ok, i will do an apt ;)
[22:57] <studio-user457> krytqrik:... useful but... same result
[22:58] <studio-user457> the 3 options right, left and inverted are gray-out
[22:58] <studio-user457> ..
[22:59] <studio-user457> krytarik:help ;)
[22:59] <krytarik> Yeah, noticed - so direct XRandR wouldn't work either then.
[23:01] <Spass_> So even changed values in displays.xml (when log out) will not work and could possibly break things?
