[06:13] <Guest43546> hello i'm trying to disable touchpad while typing but with no luck at all. I've tried both xfce4-mouse-settings and syndaemon. I'm using xubuntu 17.10 with synaptics 1.9.0. Any suggestions? Thnx in advance
[11:12] <nmealtime> hi all. i was just wondering what antivirus i should use with xubuntu?
[11:13] <knome> are you connected to windows machines?
[11:13] <knome> eg. are there windows machines in the same network
[11:13] <nmealtime> i'm running it in a VM on a host windows 10
[11:14] <knome> !antivirus
[11:14] <nmealtime> haha sorry, must be a common question if there's a cmd for it. thanks
[11:15] <knome> np, and tbh, there are commands for many many uncommon questions too..
[14:46] <antimist> I have a weird issue, I think it might be related to gnome policy kit
[14:46] <antimist> sudo systemctl <any cmd>
[14:46] <antimist> ^ That works, but
[14:46] <antimist> systemctl --user <any cmd>, does not
[14:47] <antimist> also, my backlight does not change
[14:47] <antimist> For systemctl I get: Failed to list units: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
[14:48] <antimist> and for backlight on journalctl I get:  Error executing command as another user: Not authorized
[14:48] <antimist> with the backlight command attache
[14:48] <antimist> any suggestions?
[14:48] <antimist> Also this is very close to a clean install
[14:52] <antimist> well, I suppose I will be back
[15:26] <CoderEurope> he's not here though
[17:50] <sm0rux> In the Whisker Menu I have an item causing an error when I press it. The error msg say something like it can't execute the command.
[17:50] <sm0rux> When I try to edit the menu I can't find the item. How can I delete it?
[18:14] <flocculant> sm0rux: check in .local/share/applications/ for the broken launcher
[18:18] <sm0rux> flocculant: You are the man! May I offer you a beer at  Delirium Café? If you are going to FOSDEM :)
[18:18] <sm0rux> Thanks a zillion!
[18:19] <flocculant> np - and I'll take an ether-beer as I'm not going to fosdem :p
[18:22] <sm0rux> I'll send you a torrent file so you can download the file :)
[18:23] <sm0rux> Sorry - so you can download the beer...
[18:24] <flocculant> works for me - tia :)
[19:34] <naturalog> hi, fresh install and eg "apt update" doesnt work, cant connect to repositories, while internet connection / dns works just fine
[19:35] <naturalog> 17.10 (tried to install 16.04 first but the installer didnt survive)
[19:52] <flocculant> naturalog: have you tried again - have you tried changing where the repo location?
[19:56] <naturalog> i realized im subject to the broader dns problem but under a more peculiar setting. the /etc/resolv.conf modification doesnt work even temporarily
[19:57] <flocculant> right - none of that's something I'd be able to help with - if no-one else pitches in, you could try in #ubuntu - this isn't xubuntu specific
