User1: Xubuntu, Asus 1001PXD, Touchpad don`t work, any ideas? help
User2: How to move panel from top to bottom of screen...xubuntu-12.04.1
User3: User2  tried right clicking the panel?
User2: Yes and I do not find a way to position it
User2: Am I overlooking something on the panel drop down
User4: is xubuntu part of the ubuntu family
User4: ?
User5: Yes.
User6: Hello, I am having a problem with the action buttons applet for xfce4 panel
User6: the actions "shutdown" and "restart" are greyed out. I have tried modifying the /.xinitrc to no avail
User7: User6 i would try restart from the terminal and make sure it works.. i would try as a different user to see if my config is breaking something
User6: I have restarted several times from terminal.. thanks for the reply and sorry for my delay
User6: Forgot to mention this occurred after 40 updates for xfce 4.10
User7: User6 how is it as a new user?
User6: I haven't tried yet but I did make sure my user/group had full admin privelages
User6: should I log/out in ass guest user?
User6: as*
User7: User6 i just suggest taking your current user config out of the equation.. for troubleshooting... however you want to do that
User6: ok I will try that now and be back in 5 minutes. Thank-you
User6: Oh yeah.. I forgot also when I log out from the menu I get: Method "Logout" with signature "bb" on interface "org.xfce.Session.Manager" doesn't exist
User6: I will logout from terminal
User6: same thing happened with guest account with/without admin privs
User7: User6 its not the privs im checking for
User7: User6 its the config
User7: User6 assuming all users have greyed out options, then its safe to say its system wide
User6: ok
User7: not a user config issue
User6: true
User6: I wish I knew what update caused this
User7: User6 i would check for broken packages
User6: Immediately after the update is when thins went wonky, I saw this problem on other forums but it was in arch linux
User6: They also weren't using a login manager I believe and changing their /.xinitrc fixed the problem for them, but didn't wok for me
User6: I will check for broken packages
User6: everything seems to be fine
User6: besides the problem at hand
User7: User6 i have no shutdown button... or restart..
User6: As in you don't have the action-buttons applet in the panel? Or because it isn't checked off in the action-panel properties?
User6: action-button properties*
User7: User6 as in, i dont want them, so i dont have them
User6: So you just use terminal instead of the GUI is what you are saying..
User7: i dont use them.. i built what i use daily on my netbook from openbox and tint2 etc... and i dont use shutdown or restart buttons.. since i dont need to shutdown or restart but every kernel upgrade
User6: I see
User6: I frequently shutdown and restart on my notebook, so it's an ease of access thing for me. Instead of having to open terminal, sudo shutdown -P now, password, etcetera
User6: Do you know of any alternative action buttons?
User7: User6 you can create what you like... im not sure whats broken for you though.. i would try reinstalling the 40 packages
User7: User6 at least you kept track of that.. thats helpful id say
User6: I'll try that. Thanks for your help holstein
User6: appreciate it
User7: User6 anytime.. hope you get it sorted without too much hassle... try the mailing list if you dont get a good answer here..

User10: Hi! I'm running Xubuntu 12.10 on an Acer aspire one D270. WLAN does not work, as the network card is switched off and can't be switched on using Fn + F3. Any hints? Is there a way to get proprietary drivers for this netbook?
User11: hi people...
User11: i have a problem with xubuntu, iÂ´m installed it on a netbook (lg x110) but on the first boot after instalation, the boot splash stays blinking and do not advances, can you help me
User12: I just installed electricsheep but it doesn't appear on Screensaver settings.  Do I need any extra step?
User12: probably rebooting fixes it, but I'd rather not reboot now
User12: ...also it shows a generic list of screensavers, some of which aren't installed.  Do I need to add the screensaver to that list somehow?
User12: maybe delete ~/.xscreensaver ?
User7: User12 i dont use screensavers, but from what i remember, the list is available/suggested ones
User7: User12 where did you get the electric sheep screensaver?
User12: holstein, repositories
User12: and it's already on /usr/lib/xscreensaver/electricsheep -> ../../bin/electricsheep
User7: User12 the default ubuntu repos then? you just searched in a package manager? and didnt add any ppa's?
User12: correct
User12: I didn't reboot the computer either
User12: (on the time I've spent afk I could have rebooted it, now that I think of it)
User13: User12 http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-get-electric-sheep-to-work-with.html
User7: yeah, i was thinking that might be an ok place to start, but it references ubuntu tweak which i think is uncessarry for a screensaver config
User13: eh? how so
User12: GrapeApe, ok...  but shouldn't it get added automatically?
User12: I even deleted ~/.xscreensaver and it got regenerated
User13: User12 i have no clue why it isn't added automatically. i don't use it.
User13: User12 apparently you need to add it manually
User13: User12 should take about 5 seconds to determine if it works or not
User7: User13 oh, thats a different one than what i seached.. yeah.. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-get-electric-sheep-to-work-with.html looks ideal cousteau
User13: User12 if it doesn't; no harm, no foul. remove the line from the file
User12: ok, ok, doing it
User12: <troll> it says gedit not installed! </troll>
User12: ok, there it is!  thanks
User14: question: how can i return my mouse back to normal sensitivity? it randomly started to highlight and click while i'm just using the track pad to move the pointer
User14: correction... it's not a mouse, it's a track pad on my laptop
User14: i'm running xubuntu 12.04
User13: User14 is this truly random, or after resuming the laptop ( or any other commonality you can think of )
User13: User14 also, does your trackpad have physicla mouse buttons underneath it, or does it 'click' using finger taps
User15: wifi?
User15: drivers?
User15: how can i install drivers for my wifi?
User7: User15 depends on what you have
User15: macbook pro 13 inch summer 2011 model
User7: i would just try it. if its not working, i would plug it into wired internet and see if you are propted for driver installation
User7: !broadcom
User16: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
User7: ^ that will help you determine if you have a broadcom device and what you have if you dont
