| Aaron_M | how do I switch users? | 03:48 |
| Aaron_M | i.e., without closing any of my running programs | 03:48 |
| charlie-tca | add the user switcher applet | 03:55 |
| charlie-tca | Aaron_M: add the xfswitch-plugin, then add it to the panel | 03:57 |
| Aaron_M | thanks | 03:58 |
| charlie-tca | It will add a thing to the panel to let you switch users without logging out | 03:58 |
| Aaron_M | awesome! :) | 03:58 |
| Aaron_M | you're my hero | 03:58 |

| edogaa | Xubuntu support chanel was? | 08:10 |
| edogaa | well okay, if I want to trouble shoot why my brothers PC with xubuntu keeps freezing and the keyboard is incapable of responding what should I do? | 08:12 |
| psycho_oreos | it might be a hardware issue, I'd check if the RAM is faulty and then maybe check other potential sources. I'm presuming with keyboard unable to respond, it is a hardware lock, which could mean numerous things including PSU at fault | 08:18 |
| edogaa | i see | 08:19 |
| edogaa | so memtest, hdd test and stuffl ike that | 08:19 |
| edogaa | i can ssh into it | 08:19 |
| edogaa | is there anything i should do during the process? | 08:19 |
| Unit193 | SSH in sounds kinda like the issue I have been working with... | 08:20 |
| Sysi | after it's frosen, see dmesg and ~/.xsession-errors and stuff in /var/log/ | 08:20 |
| edogaa | ah kk | 08:20 |
| Sysi | what graphics btw? | 08:21 |
| edogaa | i'll just wait for it to freeze then :/ | 08:21 |
| edogaa | Sadly, an integrated VIA chip on a really low ram computer (512) | 08:21 |
| edogaa | and a celeron D | 08:21 |
| Sysi | propably intel then.. i've had issue like that with integrated intel | 08:23 |
| edogaa | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_Technologies | 08:24 |
| Unit193 | My 82845G has been iffy at best... | 08:24 |
| edogaa | i sleep now | 08:26 |

| rblst | hi, i've just downloaded xubuntu 11.04 and been trying to install it on a PII 400 Mhz machine with 512 MB RAM, but i get a kernel panic even before the installer loads | 15:08 |

| edogaa | what does it mean when the system is frozen but i can't ssh into it | 17:01 |
| Sysi | do you mean you can ssh? | 17:02 |
| Sysi | if it's just totally frozen.. kernel panic or something other nasty | 17:03 |
| edogaa | No, I mean I can't :/ | 17:04 |
| edogaa | trying t ssh into it right now but i can't | 17:04 |
| edogaa | :/ how do i know whats wrong with it if its this frozen lol | 17:12 |
| Sysi | i wonder what logs are stored after reboot | 17:13 |
| charlie-tca | Try both num-lock and caps-lock to see if either light will work. Do the keyboard lights blink at you? If num-lock and caps lock work to show a light, it is maxing out the cpu or memoyr | 17:14 |
| edogaa | okay :/ i guess i'm going to have to hard reboot it | 17:14 |
| edogaa | no | 17:15 |
| edogaa | no light fro meither one | 17:15 |
| charlie-tca | hard reboot, check /var/crash for any report, then check /var/log/syslog.0 | 17:16 |
| edogaa | i found a syslog.1 but not 0 | 17:29 |
| charlie-tca | anything in .1? | 17:29 |
| edogaa | a lot of text i'm going t look at for anything suspicious | 17:29 |
| edogaa | don't know i'm going to pastebin it | 17:33 |
| charlie-tca | search for error or fail | 17:34 |
| charlie-tca | or pastebin and I will look | 17:34 |
| edogaa | should i get normal syslog too? :P | 17:39 |
| edogaa | there are two of them | 17:39 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 17:40 |
| charlie-tca | normal syslog should be for the last boot | 17:40 |
| edogaa | http://pastebin.com/2nVGvUS8 | 17:43 |
| edogaa | there is also fail log and a couple dmesg ones, I wonderif there is anything in those :/ | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | looking at it | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | dmesg might have something, one back from the current again. | 17:44 |
| edogaa | huh | 17:44 |
| edogaa | One back? like dmesg.0? Actually how do these logs work. :/ Are numbered ones from the last time it was 'up' or what? lol | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | yeah | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | Normally the one without a number is the latest one, generated either during the last boot or the current session | 17:47 |
| edogaa | ah | 17:47 |
| edogaa | why are dmesg 1-4 in a gz archive? | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | The lowest number should be the previous to that, and they go back in sequence | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | The biggest number is the farthest back | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | It saves 5 previous logs, and rotates them | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | so, next time, dmesg.4.gz will delete, demesg.3.gz will be renamed to .4, etc | 17:48 |
| edogaa | ah | 17:48 |
| charlie-tca | lines 66 to 75 of the pastebin show shutdown hanging | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | Looks like a cron jobs were running, then it hung | 17:52 |
| charlie-tca | is there a kernel log, too? look in it and search for kerneloops | 17:53 |
| edogaa | kernlog? | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | If there is one, the kernel caused the hang | 17:53 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 17:53 |
| edogaa | i'll pastebin kern.log.1 then :/ | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | nm | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | this caused it | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | Jun 12 02:31:43 haykel-desktop AptDaemon: INFO: Initializing daemon | 17:54 |
| edogaa | huh | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | AptDaemon never was able to shutdown | 17:54 |
| edogaa | What does this mean? | 17:54 |
| charlie-tca | That's what all those shutdown lines are for | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | !aptdaemon | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | !info aptdaemon | 17:55 |
| ubottu | aptdaemon (source: aptdaemon): transaction based package management service. In component main, is extra. Version 0.41+bzr646-0ubuntu2 (natty), package size 15 kB, installed size 176 kB | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | I think it might have to do with update-manager | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | If you were not trying to add/remove anything, it was update-manager | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | It caused the cpu to go 100% and lock up | 17:57 |
| edogaa | Ah | 17:57 |
| edogaa | So how do I disable the update-manager :/ | 17:57 |
| charlie-tca | Usually that is a bad idea, since you wouldn't know if anything needed to be updated then | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | If it does it again, file a bug using ubuntu-bug update-manager | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | and attach the /var/log/syslog.1 to it | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | It might be a one time glitch in the app | 17:59 |
| edogaa | :/ its locked up a lot. | 17:59 |
| charlie-tca | file it then | 17:59 |
| edogaa | If I leave it alone for a period of time. Okay then | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | apt-daemon should not be locking it up like that | 18:00 |
| charlie-tca | but all those lines about it trying to shutdown are saying it can't, for whatever reason. It will then cause the freeze to happen | 18:01 |

| charlie-tca | yes, there is. There is an option on your page to hide the email | 19:01 |
| charlie-tca | edogaa: go to your name page, click on "change details" | 19:03 |

| charlie-tca | at the bottom is a place to check for "hide email" | 19:03 |
| edogaa | ah thanks | 19:04 |
| edogaa | Too bad launchpad doesn't support uploading multiple attachments at once >.> | 19:06 |
| daddy | I guess not too many people owns MFC-295CN | 19:07 |
| charlie-tca | They do, if you file the bug with ubuntu-bug aptdaemon, it will attach the logs | 19:07 |
| charlie-tca | daddy: doesn't seem like it | 19:08 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe try in #ubuntu? | 19:08 |
| daddy | ok.. iwill try that thanks. | 19:08 |

| charlie-tca | go8765432: disable? | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | click XChat, network list, edit for the network you log into, normally freenode, remove all channels from the list | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | of favorite channels | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | then close | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | next time you start xchat, it will not autojoin anything | 19:16 |
| go8765432 | charlie-tca, i need this channels but not alltime | 19:23 |
| go8765432 | how i can make if favorites in list but not join it | 19:23 |

| charlie-tca | I don't know if that is possible in XChat. | 19:24 |
| go8765432 | ok. can i manage my notifications in xchat only for one channel? | 19:25 |

| * Wizard casts turn undead | 21:08 | |
| charlie-tca | Well, actually, I think we know about that one, that one has a bug against it, the next one I never heard of | 21:10 |
| Wizard | charlie-tca: that one with thundrbird not integrated with message-indicator? | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | That's the one with the bug | 21:11 |
| charlie-tca | apparently got my answers out of sequence today | 21:12 |
| Wizard | is there a way to disable double clicking on desktop? | 21:13 |
| Wizard | i mean, if it displays directory or minimised windows i have to click elements twice | 21:14 |
| Wizard | it's pretty hard on touchscreen | 21:14 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 21:17 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe Xfce 4.10 will have the ability to single click the desktop, but for now, it is not possible | 21:17 |
| Wizard | you're involved n xfce development? | 21:18 |
| charlie-tca | no, only Xubuntu | 21:19 |
| Sysi | it's free to follow in the internet | 21:19 |

| etharooni | Hey people! I can't log in! After changing window styles, It kicked me off. | 23:19 |
| etharooni | is there a way of changing the window style from the command line? | 23:19 |
| etharooni | Crap. And Irssi isn't letting me change between windows from this recovery console thing. | 23:20 |
| charlie-tca | You are in recovery mode? | 23:20 |
| etharooni | In the recovery console. | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | it will remove all custom configurations, but the easiest way is cd to your home, instead of root home | 23:21 |
| charlie-tca | Then remove .config and .cache and restart | 23:21 |
| etharooni | Alright. Here goes. | 23:22 |
| charlie-tca | Then never try wildbush theme again | 23:22 |
| etharooni | restarting. | 23:22 |
| etharooni | It works! | 23:24 |
| etharooni | Thanks! | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 23:25 |
| charlie-tca | The theme that does that to you is in Window Manager, Wildbush | 23:25 |
| etharooni | Got it. Why is that in there? | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | It is a really nice theme for those that don't lock up | 23:26 |
| etharooni | Interesting. Wonder why that is. | 23:26 |
| charlie-tca | and it is supplied by Xfce themselves, which is used in a lot of distros besides Xubuntu. | 23:26 |

| GridCube | :D hi ljhr05 | 23:38 |
| etharooni | Well, it seems that my audio doesn't work after getting rid of the .cache and .config. | 23:46 |
| etharooni | It would have been smart to back stuff up. | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | click the speaker in the top panel, unmute the thing | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | You may have to select some controls in it, too | 23:47 |
| etharooni | It looks unmuted. | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | got controls in it? | 23:47 |
| etharooni | Well, I added them again. | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | did you add both alsa and pulse audio control? | 23:48 |
| etharooni | All I did was "select controls..." | 23:49 |
| charlie-tca | after selecting them, look at the line above that says "sound card. Switch it to the pulse audio card, and add a master control for it | 23:50 |
| etharooni | alright. | 23:50 |
| charlie-tca | all you need is the playback control | 23:50 |
| etharooni | It says it's on full blast. | 23:51 |
| charlie-tca | close the select controls thing, right click the speaker, and select pulse audio | 23:52 |
| charlie-tca | well, right-click the speaker, select properties, select pulse audio | 23:53 |
| etharooni | hmm... | 23:53 |
| etharooni | Don't really see what you mean. | 23:53 |
| charlie-tca | When you right click, left click properties | 23:54 |
| etharooni | The only control for playback is "Master: | 23:54 |
| etharooni | charlie-tca: Heh. Well. | 23:54 |
| charlie-tca | the mixer track, pick the sound card above it | 23:54 |
| charlie-tca | Playback: internal... (pulseaudiomixer)? | 23:54 |
| charlie-tca | I ain't very good at sound. I am very good with the login thing | 23:55 |
| etharooni | Yeah. Just a master control. What am I right clicking on? | 23:55 |
| charlie-tca | right-click the speaker again. left-click brings up "select controls". after right-clicking, you should have properties | 23:56 |
| etharooni | Oh. That. I'm a little slow. | 23:57 |
