[02:36] <jessicajames> how can i find system properties in xubuntu?
[02:36] <jessicajames> like...see how much RAM I have..
[02:36] <jessicajames> see what kind of architecutre i have
[02:36] <jessicajames> my processors
[02:36] <jessicajames> etc
[02:37] <bazhang> sudo lshw
[02:37] <bazhang> !vesrion
[02:37] <bazhang> whoopsie
[02:37] <Unit193> The command lshw will be... Also cat /proc/cpuinfo  or free -m
[02:37] <bazhang> !version
[02:38] <jessicajames> it doesn't say if i'm 64bit or not..
[02:38] <jessicajames> there's not gui system properties?
[02:38] <jessicajames> something that shows network usage
[02:38] <jessicajames> disk usage
[02:38] <jessicajames> et
[02:38] <jessicajames> c
[02:38] <jessicajames> Like the other distros :( can i download it? what's it called? I'm freaking out!
[02:38] <jessicajames> lol
[02:38] <jessicajames> i like this distro though...very fast
[02:39] <ToZ> jessicajames, you can install hardinfo for gui display of system properties
[02:39] <Unit193> lshw-gtk? :P
[02:40] <holstein> jessicajames: it might be "like the other desktop environments"
[02:40] <holstein> jessicajames: if you can remember what those tools are, they will be installable (likely) from the default repo
[02:40] <well_laid_lawn> conky is good for system info
[02:41] <holstein> !conky
[02:41] <holstein> !help conky
[02:41] <well_laid_lawn> !info conky
[02:41] <holstein> !info conky
[02:41] <jessicajames> i like conky
[02:41] <jessicajames> but i was looking for the system monitor
[02:41] <jessicajames> i think i need to install gnome-system-monitor
[02:42] <holstein> well, you dont "need" to, but you certainly can... if you are used to certain tools, go for it
[02:42] <jessicajames> I love you guys already
[02:42] <jessicajames> only 102 people in here, and so helpful
[02:42] <jessicajames> i'd ask a question in 600 person channel #fedora
[02:42] <jessicajames> and get no useful, respectful ansewr
[02:42] <jessicajames> so i appreciate it guys
[04:11] <kingsix> hi all, I am having trouble getting transparency to work in Xfce.  it worked after a fresh install, but after installing proprietary drivers it's not working
[04:12] <kingsix> transparent xfce panels
[04:33] <uzver> for transparent panel u need to enable compositing
[07:10] <bikcmp> how do I disable that little dock at the lower part of the screen?
[07:10] <bikcmp> it's driving me nuts.
[07:11] <Unit193> It's just a panel, right click  > Remove  (or panel > preferences then remove)
[07:46] <bikcmp> Unit193: no it isn't
[07:47] <bikcmp> Unit193: found it though
[07:47] <bikcmp> :P
[07:47] <Unit193> Unless you added something, the thing at the bottom is a xfce panel.
[07:48] <bikcmp> yah
[07:48] <bikcmp> Unit193: i right clicked it a couple times
[07:48] <bikcmp> found panel settings
[07:48] <bikcmp> then pressed the X

[10:37] <Kaapa> hello there
[10:37] <Kaapa> Since today's upgrade I'm not seeing a bunch of icons on the tray
[10:37] <Kaapa> any clue on how to debug what's happening?
[11:05] <Alan> Anybody else had any weird behaviour from recent updates? I seem to be getting intermittent hangs
[11:07] <Alan> as in the mouse movement freezes and audio loops its buffer for about 0.5-1 seconds before resuming as normal
[11:09] <Kaapa> I did see some unfluent behavior with the mouse
[11:10] <Kaapa> I just bought a new one, was blaming it on that
[11:10] <Kaapa> not to 1 sec
[11:10] <Kaapa> what happened was losing tray icons
[11:10] <Kaapa> did that happen to you?
[11:10] <Kaapa> a bunch of them went away
[11:10] <Alan> no
[11:10] <Alan> nothing actually seems to be stopping working
[11:11] <Mathsterk> i haven't had any problems, 12.04 works better for me than 11.04
[11:11] <Alan> just IO seems to hang for a fraction of a second
[11:11] <Alan> this only started happening today
[11:11] <Alan> ah well, i just rebooted, let's see if it was just something in a weird state
[11:14] <Alan> damn, still happening
[11:14] <Alan> how the hell do you even go about debugging such a thing?
[11:16] <Mathsterk> Alan: maybe hw problems?
[11:19] <Alan> Mathsterk: nothing's changed... also, it's less frequent now i've rebooted...
[11:20] <Alan> actually, seems to coincide with these in /var/log/syslog
[11:20] <Alan> Jul  3 12:19:42 arbeit kernel: [  609.589933] type=1701 audit(1341314382.631:37): auid=4294967295 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=4294967295 pid=2242 comm="chrome" reason="seccomp" sig=0 syscall=2 compat=0 ip=0x7fe151dd658d code=0x50002
[11:21] <Alan> what are those?
[11:21] <Mathsterk> ps aux | grep 2242
[11:22] <Alan> doesn't always coincide with them though
[11:22] <Alan> alan      2242  0.1  0.6 351680 49672 ?        Sl   12:10   0:00 /opt/google/chrome/chrome --type=gpu-process --channel=1965.24.1306103588 --disable-gl-multisampling
[11:25] <Alan> let's see if things improve if i kill chrome's gpu process
[11:25] <Alan> maybe it's touching the graphics driver in ways it doesn't like
[11:25] <Alan> nope, that didn't help
[11:25] <Mathsterk> well, was worth a try :P
[11:25] <Alan> yeah
[11:25] <Mathsterk> try killing unecessary processes
[11:26] <Alan> there's no indication on my CPU graphs or in htop of any symptoms
[11:26] <Mathsterk> what's your cpu load?
[11:26] <Alan> i just have no idea what I can do to try and capture what's happening
[11:26] <Alan> you mean load averages? or %?
[11:27] <Mathsterk> avg of last minute
[11:27] <Alan> 0.7-ish
[11:28] <Alan> on a hyperthreading dual-core downclocked to 1.6GHz (automatically, because of low load!)
[11:30] <Mathsterk> 1.5-ish on a intel m @ 1.6 ghz. so that's not the problem (the computer freezes if load exceeds 8)
[11:37] <BootSplashQuesti> hi...a friend of mine installed the latest xbuntu and says the start at boot is black for 15 seconds and then it takes another 15 seconds until the desktop is ready...is there a way to reduce the 15 seconds in darkness or show what is going on? is it by design or can you make it show what is going on like e. g. Knoppic live when it shows identifying of hardware? thank you in advance...I guess it could be a resolution prob
[11:38] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: yes
[11:39] <BootSplashQuesti> heeheehee
[11:39] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: edit /etd/default/grub
[11:39] <BootSplashQuesti> so it is black by design and can't be reduced in time?
[11:39] <baizon> and change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[11:39] <baizon> from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet spash"
[11:39] <BootSplashQuesti> sudo nano etc/default/grub ?
[11:39] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: its plymouth
[11:40] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: yes that will work
[11:40] <BootSplashQuesti> okay, I have heard of Plymouth
[11:40] <baizon> the drivers arent good yet (os drivers)
[11:40] <BootSplashQuesti> thank you for your help...just curious...will it show the hardware recognition?
[11:40] <baizon> thats why, normally you get a nice splash screen
[11:40] <BootSplashQuesti> oh okay
[11:40] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: should, if not ask again
[11:41] <baizon> there is another solution for this :)
[11:41] <BootSplashQuesti> thank you very much =)
[11:41] <baizon> that solution will work 100% :)
[11:41] <baizon> np
[11:41] <BootSplashQuesti> what is the other solution? if you have the time that is
[11:41] <baizon> add this line to /etc/default/grub
[11:42] <baizon> this: GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1366x768
[11:42] <baizon> but the resolution has to be the same as your display support
[11:42] <BootSplashQuesti> ah right
[11:42] <BootSplashQuesti> you are my hero
[11:42] <baizon> this is my laptops resolution :)
[11:42] <BootSplashQuesti> I figured it is =)
[11:42] <baizon> ok :)
[12:02] <BootSplashQuesti> am I correct that the GRUB_TIMEOUT only is used when there is a menu to choose between different things?
[12:03] <baizon> yes
[12:03] <baizon> its the delay for the grub menu
[12:03] <BootSplashQuesti> thank you...just trying to see if my friend can speed the boot up
[12:04] <BootSplashQuesti> 15 seconds sounds normal to me
[12:04] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=254263
[12:05] <baizon> this can help
[12:05] <baizon> i need 35 sec into my system
[12:05] <BootSplashQuesti> thank you for the link
[12:05] <baizon> np
[12:09] <BootSplashQuesti> is your boot splash black by the way as default?
[12:10] <Mathsterk> my boot screen is black, for about 3 sec (on a slo computer)
[12:11] <BootSplashQuesti> I am not an expert on the sequences while booting but I think those 3 seconds might be something different from what my friend means
[12:11] <Mathsterk> bois-splash, post, black screen for some seconds, login, login-splash
[12:11] <BootSplashQuesti> let me rephrase...the Xubuntu default boot splash...does it show that it is doing something or the logo?
[12:12] <baizon> BootSplashQuesti: yes it has an animation
[12:12] <baizon> like windows xp
[12:12] <BootSplashQuesti> oh then he needs to set the resultion in grub
[12:13] <BootSplashQuesti> I didn't understand the vbemode...how does he see which resolutions grub supports?
[12:14] <xubuntu119> jk
[12:15] <BootSplashQuesti> jk?

[12:37] <cousteau> how do I eject a disc using `eject`?
[12:37] <cousteau> `eject` seems to try to eject /dev/cdrom, but no such unit exists
[12:37] <cousteau> eject -t /dev/sr0   worked for closing a tray, but then I can't open it again with the command
[12:38] <baizon> cousteau: im using ejecter :)
[12:38] <baizon> is a nice tool
[12:38] <baizon> cousteau: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/ejector-tray-app-adds-indicator-applet-support
[12:38] <cousteau> the file manager (Thunar, I think) was able to eject the disc
[12:38] <Mathsterk> eject *where your cdrom is*
[12:39] <baizon> no ppa needed :)
[12:39] <baizon> yes thunar can eject too
[12:39] <cousteau> weird...  does the device have to have a disc to be ejected?
[12:40] <Mathsterk> usually, no
[12:40] <cousteau> eject /dev/sr0 complains about an ioctl function not appropriate
[12:41] <cousteau> eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[12:41] <cousteau> (all this because I'm too lazy to stretch my arm and push the button...)
[12:41] <Mathsterk> try -r
[12:43] <cousteau> input/output error
[12:43] <Mathsterk> cousteau: get a microcontroller and a servo
[12:44] <cousteau> anyway...  my main concern was actually that /dev/cdrom doesn't exist and that eject should default to sr0 instead
[12:45] <cousteau> ok, I will...
[12:45] <Mathsterk> read man eject
[12:45]  * cousteau picks a TI Piccolo
[12:45] <Mathsterk> and try different options
[12:45] <cousteau> I did, but it's not quite easy to read if I don't know what I'm looking for
[12:46] <Mathsterk> try -m
[12:51] <cousteau> nothing...
[12:51] <cousteau> anyway, it wasn't very urgent
[12:54] <Mathsterk> maybe just get a stick? :P
[12:54] <cousteau> heh
[12:54]  * cousteau was thinking on a memory stick and wondering how would that help

[13:29] <BronzeEagle> Hello, I'm having issues with using dual monitors when I run xrandr --output DVI-0 --left-of DVI-1 it does what it's supposed to, but I can't use the mouse on DVI-1
[13:29] <Mathsterk> sounds like a weird problem
[13:30] <BronzeEagle> Yeah, I can drag a window to DVI-1 but it stops at the edge of DVI-0
[13:30] <baizon> BronzeEagle: try arandr :)
[13:32] <BronzeEagle> baizon: Okay I installed arandr and it's still doing the same thin

[13:34] <BronzeEagle> DVI-0: 1280x1024 | DVI-1: 1024x768

[17:19] <roninn> does anyone else have the window border only 1px thick, the border you can resize the windows etc.?
[17:28] <lotato> hello! :-)
[17:29] <pleia2> roninn: see #3 http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1204-precise/
[17:30] <lotato> I just had a quick question. What is 'beep' and 'digital'? http://i3.lulzimg.com/5d614414cf.png
[17:30] <Mathsterk> roninn: yeah
[17:31] <pleia2> lotato: all those are pulled from the soundcard and vary by device (I don't know for those)
[17:31] <lotato> ah ok, so it's different for everyone?
[17:32] <Mathsterk> beep is probably the beep speaker or the volume of beep on speakers
[17:32] <pleia2> lotato: different for every card anyway :) mine doesn't have those
[17:33] <lotato> yikes, I was hoping someone could tell me why I have what seems like three bars for my microphone :-P
[17:33] <Mathsterk> and i can guess digital is s/pdif or something
[17:34] <lotato> also, is the second comment correct? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=898488
[17:34] <lotato> regarding having PCM >74%
[17:35] <Mathsterk> i prefer to have master and headphones at max and adjust pcm

[18:56] <popolon> hi
[18:56] <popolon> does anyone know if there is a solution for the xfce4-cpugraph-plugin ?
[18:56] <popolon> it doens't work at all on Xubuntu 12.04
[18:57] <Mathsterk> it works for me
[18:57] <popolon> hddtemp return an error (no right to read /dev/sda*) too
[18:57] <popolon> there are several reports on the web about this bug :(
[18:57] <popolon> and if I click on it with left or right mouse button, there is no popup menu
[18:58] <popolon> this could also be a device read problem ???
[18:58] <Mathsterk> popolon: tried a reinstall?
[18:58] <popolon> it detect well the 8 virtual core of my cpu
[18:58] <popolon> installed from scratch
[18:58] <popolon> after a bad update from ubuntu studio
[18:58] <popolon> this time I installed xubuntu
[18:59] <popolon> Mathsterk, you mean reinstall the plugin ?
[18:59] <Mathsterk> you could also try that
[18:59] <Mathsterk> remember to use --purge
[19:01] <popolon> purged
[19:01] <popolon> reinstalled
[19:01] <popolon> added another
[19:01] <popolon> now two sticks to the bar ;p
[19:02] <popolon> is there another mean to rm them from the bar ?
[19:02] <popolon> perhaps only by modyfing config files
[19:03] <Mathsterk> right click on the panel, panel>panel preferences>items>choose the plugin>press the remove button
[19:03] <popolon> Mathsterk, ok, thanks
[19:05] <popolon> oh, I understand
[19:06] <popolon> the only two pixel at the top, between cpubar and top of the screen allow to right click to obtain menu
[19:20] <popolon> doesn't work at all :(
[19:20] <xubuntu022> what is the support length of 1.10?
[19:20] <popolon> 11.10 ?
[19:20] <popolon> one year I suppose
[19:20] <xubuntu022> yes, mistyped
[19:21] <xubuntu022> thanks
[19:23] <Pici> popolon: its 18 months for every non-lts release.
[19:24] <popolon> ah ok
[19:24] <popolon> sorry then
[19:25] <popolon> and 24 or 48 month for lts ?

[22:35] <martinphone> I need more help: Im trying to install goldendicts for goldendict following http://goldendict.org/dictionaries.php, the part that reads: If instead of .bgl files you are getting .exe installers, use 7Zip to extract them (use full version of 7Zip, the one which supports CAB files). The .bgl files would be inside. TXubuntu's default file extractor will show a plurality of files, but not a CAB file, wh
[22:35] <martinphone> ats the linux app that will extract from .exe to cab?
[22:35] <martinphone> Also I tried it with wine, a babylon installation menu appears, but it freezes there.. "ids loading"
[22:36] <Mathsterk> use file-roller or something
[22:42] <martinphone> Mathsterk, thats archive manager... doesnt work
[22:43] <blackgatonegro> are you online most of the time?
[22:43] <Mathsterk> mine can open .exe's
[22:43] <Mathsterk> martinphone: online when i'm awake
[22:44] <martinphone> Mathsterk, mine too, but it wont display results as the CAB file I need, but 5 different filetypes and files
[22:44] <Mathsterk> try installing 7z and run 7z x (exe file)
[22:45] <blackgatonegro> then just use google translator
[22:45] <blackgatonegro> the tz option sounds good
[22:47] <martinphone> Mathsterk, command line? p7zip-full is installed (synaptic) I cannot see an acces icon or find it in app finder
[22:47] <Mathsterk> man 7z
[22:48] <well_laid_lawn> run it in the terminal
[22:54] <martinphone> cabextract p7zip and file roller are all installed and work
[22:54] <martinphone> but tz x filename extracted exactly the same files as file roller, not the CAB file I need, and cabextract is installed
[22:55] <knome> afaik cabextract is for extracting other files from cab files, not cab files from other files
[22:56] <Mathsterk> martinphone: not tz, 7z
[22:56] <Mathsterk> the number seven and z
[22:56] <martinphone> im trying to follow these instructions as faithfully as I can: If instead of .bgl files you are getting .exe installers, use 7Zip to extract them (use full version of 7Zip, the one which supports CAB files). The .bgl files would be inside.
[22:57] <martinphone> so I have an exe file that theoretically contains a BGL file
[22:59] <blackgatonegro> p7zip
[23:00] <blackgatonegro> p7zip is the Unix command-line port of 7-Zip, a file archiver that archives with high compression ratios, try that one
[23:01] <mongy> I'm trying to manually add an app to the top level menu next to the exo stuff by adding X-Xfce-Toplevel to the Categories section but it's showing up way down inbetween multimedia and system
[23:02] <martinphone> blackgatonegro, so p7zip-full is not the one...
[23:03] <blackgatonegro> nope
[23:03] <blackgatonegro> that one just add 7zip conpresion to your default compresed file manager
[23:04] <blackgatonegro> search "p7zip" on synaptic
[23:04] <blackgatonegro> and install that one
[23:05] <martinphone> should I uninstall p7zip-full?
[23:07] <blackgatonegro> no
[23:07] <martinphone> am I closer? dict$ p7zip x "Chinese(T)-English.exe"
[23:07] <martinphone> Usage: /usr/bin/p7zip [-d] [-h|--help] [file]
[23:07] <martinphone>     -h print this help
[23:07] <martinphone>     -d decompress file
[23:07] <martinphone> , where do I add the -d?
[23:07] <blackgatonegro> leave it
[23:08] <blackgatonegro> try 7zip x -d "Chinese(T)-English.exe"
[23:10] <martinphone> 7zip: command not found, the list suggest p7zip... retrying
[23:11] <martinphone> nope: p7zip x -d "Chinese(T)-English.exe"
[23:11] <martinphone> Usage: /usr/bin/p7zip [-d] [-h|--help] [file]
[23:11] <martinphone>     -h print this help
[23:11] <martinphone>     -d decompress file
[23:12] <Mathsterk> p7zip -d "Chinese(T)-English.exe"
[23:12] <martinphone> a...
[23:14] <martinphone> aww, he left...
[23:14] <martinphone> p7zip -d "Chinese(T)-English.exe"
[23:14] <martinphone> /usr/bin/p7zip: Chinese(T)-English.exe: unknown suffix -- ignored
[23:14] <martinphone> can anyone else help me?
[23:15] <well_laid_lawn> did you try    p7zip -d "Chinese(T)-English.exe"   ?
[23:15] <Mathsterk> try: p7zip -d "Chinese\(T\)\-English.exe"
[23:18] <martinphone> no, its still the same : unknown suffix -- ignored
[23:19] <well_laid_lawn> the suffix is the .exe bit so maybe the linux version doesn't do windows files
[23:20] <well_laid_lawn> might be easier to use a linux app instead of trying to use a windows one
[23:21] <well_laid_lawn> what's special about goldendicts?
[23:22] <martinphone> that it lets the user customize the dictionaries he wants and is not internet dependent
[23:22] <martinphone> no ads
[23:23] <martinphone> so ill have to either use wine or a windows machine...
[23:23] <well_laid_lawn> you could try renaming the exe
[23:24] <martinphone> to what?
[23:24] <martinphone> you mean just the fylesystem or to a.exe?
[23:24] <Mathsterk> martinphone: try mv "Chinese(T)-English.exe" chinese_english.exe
[23:24] <well_laid_lawn> I mean rename the exe you are trying to unpack
[23:25] <well_laid_lawn> I'd leave the .exe off as that's why it's failing
[23:26] <knome> well_laid_lawn, that most probably won't help, since it still doesn't know how to handle .exe files
[23:26] <martinphone> renamed as Mathsterk suggested, same message
[23:26] <well_laid_lawn> knome: that's why i suggested using something else in the first place
[23:27] <knome> martinphone, can you please try to ask for help in the goldendict forum?
[23:27] <martinphone> so wine or windows machine...
[23:27] <martinphone> ok
[23:28] <martinphone> thanks anyway
