| TheSheep | no | 08:14 |
| i3ear | :( | 08:14 |
| i3ear | I just wanna know how to mount a DVD with the unhide option on | 08:14 |
| TheSheep | the unhide option? | 08:14 |
| i3ear | yes, I am trying to install diablo 3 from the disk through wine, and I looked up why it wouldn't work | 08:15 |
| i3ear | aparantly I have to mount my DVD drive with the unhide option or flag on | 08:15 |
| i3ear | but I can't figure it out | 08:15 |
| TheSheep | well, did you try to just add 'unhide' to the options in your mount command? | 08:16 |
| SunStar | have your tried installing it with playsonlinux ? | 08:17 |
| i3ear | I just tried adding unhide to it and it didn't work | 08:17 |
| i3ear | and I have never heard of playsonlinux, I think I will go check it out | 08:18 |

| i3ear | hm? | 08:19 |
| baizon | i3ear: why not using the online installation? | 08:22 |
| i3ear | baizon, because we already bought it. Would the key that came with the game work if I downloaded it online? | 08:22 |
| baizon | of course | 08:23 |
| baizon | you have to create a battle.net account | 08:23 |
| baizon | there you have an installer for diablo | 08:23 |
| i3ear | whell I can't create an account right now | 08:25 |
| i3ear | the person who owns this game is asleep at the moment | 08:25 |
| baizon | if you have an account already there is a page where you can download the installer | 08:25 |
| i3ear | I need this person to create the account | 08:25 |
| baizon | i3ear: ok, sec | 08:25 |
| i3ear | I can't do it because it isn't my game | 08:25 |
| baizon | i3ear: then you have to wait, the installer is here https://eu.battle.net/account/management/download/ | 08:26 |
| baizon | i3ear: and more information here: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4008281415#2 | 08:27 |
| i3ear | alright, I am using playonlinux to install diablo 3 through the install file | 08:36 |
| i3ear | I just realized that I can give bullshit information and the thing will still accept it and I don't have to worry so whatever | 08:37 |
| i3ear | the installer keeps freezing | 08:37 |
| i3ear | when the window first opens, the windows says "updating blizzard update agent" and the bar fills up almost halfway and then it stops | 08:37 |
| i3ear | and nothing happens | 08:38 |
| baizon | i3ear: i would recommend to ask this question on #winehq | 08:40 |

| xubuntu779 | Hello s.o.s. Help installing xubuntu 12.04 | 12:25 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu779: you have to ask a question, and if anybody knows the answer, they will answer | 12:26 |
| xubuntu779 | Thank you. After installing 12.04 laptop says error disk not found, rescue grub. I inserted live cd it has (initramfs) | 12:28 |
| xubuntu779 | Hello | 12:39 |
| TheSheep | I'm still waiting for a question. | 12:39 |
| TheSheep | What do you mean by "it has (initrams)"? | 12:40 |
| xubuntu779 | Hello the sheep, im new with xubuntu, 12.04 will not load, should i check for the iso image being corrupted? | 12:42 |
| xubuntu779 | Any way to get out of initramfs and load xununtu? Maybe rescue mode? | 12:42 |
| mark_orion | How do I add a custom URL handler to XUbuntu ? I want SIP urls start my preferred VoIP phone. Gnome services are running. I tried with gconf-editor as described on several pages, but both Thunderbird and Firefox report a missing URL handler. | 12:44 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu779: do you get the menu at the start? | 12:46 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu779: if so, you can try to verify th disc | 12:46 |
| TheSheep | mark_orion: you could try with the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list | 12:48 |
| X-warrior` | I'm using xfce4-terminal 0.6.1, why does tab for file complementation doesn't work sometimes? it seems it tries to discover what is the param type, and just should available options or something.. | 12:49 |
| xubuntu779 | No menu af the start. Busybod v1.18.5 ....then (initramfs) | 12:49 |
| koegs | X-warrior`: bash does not autocomplete program parameters | 12:50 |
| koegs | so where do you have the problem exactly? | 12:50 |
| mark_orion | TheSheep: I will try that. Thanks | 12:50 |
| X-warrior` | if I have a file name-xubuntu-lalalal-1234-xyz, and i star nam (TAB), shouldn't it give me the rest or the options starting with nam? | 12:51 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu779: sounds like it's broken | 12:51 |
| X-warrior` | start* | 12:51 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu779: check the md5 sum of the image you downloaded, and then try burining it on another cd, with the slowest speed possible | 12:51 |
| koegs | X-warrior`: depends, if it is executable and in the path, otherwise you have to use ./nam<tab> | 12:52 |
| koegs | if it is a text-file for example "gedit nam<tab> should work | 12:53 |
| X-warrior` | but if it is "anyotherprogram nam<TAB>". Why it doesn't? :S | 12:53 |
| koegs | hm, i think it should :D | 12:54 |
| xubuntu779 | Ok the sheep. How could i check the md5sum? | 12:55 |
| X-warrior` | koegs, that is odd, if I'm using vagrant... and press vagrant <TAB> it shows me the acceptable parameters to the second parameter for example, help, box, suspend, ssh... | 12:56 |
| X-warrior` | maybe it is this new version | 12:57 |
| koegs | X-warrior`: i think this is depending on the program, for example it work for apt-get too, but not for all programs | 12:58 |
| X-warrior` | imo if it doesn't know how to handler a param, it should fallback to file complete... | 12:59 |
| koegs | X-warrior`: if you give me an exact scenario, i can test it, but here it works as expected... | 13:00 |
| X-warrior` | koegs, what xfce4-terminal version do u have? | 13:01 |
| koegs | 0.6.1 | 13:01 |
| X-warrior` | ok | 13:01 |
| koegs | but that does not matter, it is bash | 13:01 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, what seems tobe your problem? | 13:01 |
| X-warrior` | depending on the program that I'm using for example "vagrant" if I press tab, on first param it shows me the options, and if I choose box, and press tab it shows me the option to the second one, I choose add, the 3 param is a name and the 4 is a file... but then the console doesn't use file auto completion | 13:03 |
| X-warrior` | I'm trying to find this behavior with some "regular" program | 13:03 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, yes, thats a standard behaviour | 13:03 |
| GridCube | !tab | 13:04 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:04 |
| X-warrior` | the problem is, the param3 and 4 | 13:04 |
| X-warrior` | it doesn't complete | 13:04 |
| koegs | i think bash cannot combine smart_complete and auto_complete :) | 13:04 |
| GridCube | you might have made a typo somewhere | 13:04 |
| X-warrior` | uhmm | 13:04 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570795/how-does-bash-tab-completion-work | 13:06 |
| koegs | interesting, thx GridCube | 13:07 |
| GridCube | bash auto completion is different from other auto-completion terminal enviroments too | 13:07 |
| X-warrior` | is this a "new feature"? I was stuck in the past with Ubuntu 11.10 | 13:08 |
| X-warrior` | x) | 13:08 |
| GridCube | is not | 13:09 |
| GridCube | its a feature of bash since ever | 13:09 |
| X-warrior` | so I don't get it, maybe the complete list is different now... | 13:10 |
| X-warrior` | or ubuntu doesn't uses bash, and as far as I know it uses :S | 13:10 |
| GridCube | what | 13:10 |
| GridCube | ? | 13:10 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, you are talking crazy | 13:11 |
| X-warrior` | type: `complete` | 13:11 |
| GridCube | yes | 13:11 |
| GridCube | and? | 13:11 |
| X-warrior` | you will see a list of complete logic that it uses | 13:11 |
| X-warrior` | right? | 13:11 |
| GridCube | yes | 13:11 |
| GridCube | i still dont know what your problem seems to be X-warrior` | 13:12 |
| X-warrior` | If no complete logic is found, the default one seemed to be "filename complete" | 13:12 |
| X-warrior` | and now, the "default" seems to be "nothing" | 13:13 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, so autocomplete is not working for you? | 13:14 |
| X-warrior` | if I use leafpad nam<tab> it works | 13:14 |
| knome | i don't think it ever defaulted to completing filenames as-is, without an application name | 13:14 |
| X-warrior` | but if I'm using `vagrant box add xyz nam<tab>` | 13:14 |
| X-warrior` | it doesn't | 13:14 |
| GridCube | xyz are variables? | 13:15 |
| GridCube | i mean not default things? | 13:15 |
| X-warrior` | yeap it is a text var that it will be the name of the box that you're adding, and the last parameter is the .box file that will be associated to that name | 13:15 |
| GridCube | well, i dont think bash understands autocomplete after that | 13:16 |
| GridCube | https://github.com/kura/vagrant-bash-completion | 13:16 |
| GridCube | https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/400 | 13:16 |
| GridCube | X-warrior`, there you go, bash autocompletion for vagrant | 13:18 |
| X-warrior` | ty | 13:19 |
| X-warrior` | anyway, I think on my ubuntu 11.10 | 13:19 |
| GridCube | np | 13:19 |
| X-warrior` | that i just formated | 13:19 |
| X-warrior` | if it doesn't understand, the bash used the filename completion | 13:19 |
| GridCube | it use filename autocompletion if a filename can go in that place | 13:20 |
| GridCube | or if nothing else absolutely can be done | 13:20 |
| john_rambo | How do I install themes? | 14:21 |
| knome | !themes | john_rambo | 14:23 |
| ubottu | john_rambo: To change your theme in Xubuntu, go to Settings Manager » Appearance (GTK+ theme) or Settings Manager » Window Manager (xfwm4 theme) to change the theme - find more themes at http://xfce-look.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ (for GTK+ themes) | 14:23 |
| knome | right... | 14:24 |
| knome | you should copy the themes unextracted to ~/.themes | 14:24 |
| knome | if it doesn't exist, create it | 14:24 |
| knome | john_rambo, ^ | 14:24 |
| john_rambo | I searched there is no .themes folder in my home dir | 14:24 |
| john_rambo | knome, | 14:25 |
| knome | 16:24 knome: if it doesn't exist, create it | 14:25 |
| john_rambo | Okay | 14:25 |
| knome | if you want the themes to be usable for all users, you can also extract them to /usr/share/themes (that needs sudo rights though) | 14:26 |
| john_rambo | Okay | 14:26 |
| AgentHeX | good morning, everyone. my nvidia driver is borked, and i'm stuck with a terminal. i tried jockey-text, but nothing. it searches for drivers but exits without doing anything. how can i revert to an old display driver? | 14:59 |
| mr_d | any one online that has some knowledge about bind9? | 15:05 |
| Silence- | I would try a channel dedicated to bind. | 15:06 |
| Silence- | (even though I'm sure plenty of people, including me, knows bind9) | 15:06 |
| Silence- | This is not the right channel for that. | 15:06 |
| Silence- | :) | 15:06 |
| mr_d | silence what is the name of the channel | 15:09 |
| mr_d | join #bind9 | 15:09 |
| Silence- | You will have to look around; I dont know. | 15:09 |
| mr_d | join bind9 | 15:09 |
| Silence- | /join #bind9 | 15:10 |
| Silence- | If that's what you want to do. | 15:10 |
| AgentHeX | now i can't start X at all. driver api ismatch. I JUST WANT MY GUI BACK. | 15:15 |
| AgentHeX | sadly, it's stupid bullshit like this that has kept me from dropping Windows entirely. | 15:18 |
| AgentHeX | purge and reinstall nvidia-current did nothing. | 15:23 |
| TheSheep | why would it do anything> | 15:24 |
| AgentHeX | because changing the nvidia driver is what fucked it up to begin with. | 15:24 |
| zAo^ | Xorg needs to die | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | then change it back? | 15:24 |
| zAo^ | lol | 15:24 |
| AgentHeX | how? i'm stuck with a goddamn command prompt. | 15:24 |
| TheSheep | AgentHeX: what did you do exactly right before it broke? | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | (you can always switch it to vesa, btw) | 15:25 |
| AgentHeX | hit "activate" on the non-experimental driver. | 15:25 |
| AgentHeX | then rebooted. | 15:25 |
| AgentHeX | then it sat with a blinking cursor, and i can only get to tty1-6. | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? | 15:25 |
| TheSheep | look for "EE" in it | 15:26 |
| TheSheep | you can view it with 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | 15:26 |
| AgentHeX | failed to load module "nv" module does not exist. | 15:26 |
| TheSheep | and you can search for "EE" with '/EE' and then pressing n will get you to the next entry | 15:26 |
| AgentHeX | under NVIDIA(0) it says "failed to initialize the nvidia kernel module. please see... blah blah blah blah. | 15:27 |
| TheSheep | after the "please see" it should be mentioning a solution, maybe? | 15:27 |
| AgentHeX | no. just says to check system's kernel log or consult nvidia readme. | 15:27 |
| TheSheep | try to focus and read more than the 5 first words | 15:28 |
| AgentHeX | i just did cat to grep. last error is Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. | 15:28 |
| TheSheep | ok, so you are missing the nv kernel module, what does dmesg say on the subject? | 15:28 |
| Cheri703 | AgentHeX: I know you're frustrated, but please keep the language clean. The channel is supposed to stay family friendly. Thanks! | 15:28 |
| AgentHeX | api mismatch. | 15:29 |
| TheSheep | Cheri703: cat and greap are not swear words :) | 15:29 |
| TheSheep | grep | 15:29 |
| Cheri703 | it was a few minutes ago, but the point is still valid | 15:29 |
| AgentHeX | in installed this thing less than 3 days ago. how it can shart (happy?) the bed that quick is beyond me. welp. off to nuke it and find a better distro. | 15:33 |
| TheSheep | AgentHeX: you can edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and replace the 'driver "nv"' line with 'driver "nvidia"' -- that will make it use the open source drivers, and you will at least get gui working | 15:33 |
| AgentHeX | i'll give that a shot. | 15:34 |
| TheSheep | AgentHeX: well, binary blob drivers are broken in many ways, and we can't really fix them since they are closed source | 15:34 |
| TheSheep | so there are all sorts of workarounds for them | 15:34 |
| AgentHeX | it certainly wasn't the binary blob that broke this. it was the installer that was changing the drivers. no idea WTF happened, but doesn't matter now. | 15:35 |
| AgentHeX | just out of curiosity, though, where in the 4 lines of my xorg.conf file should it have "nv" or "nvidia?" | 15:36 |
| TheSheep | let me find you an example | 15:37 |
| TheSheep | I assume you don't have a browser working | 15:38 |
| TheSheep | so I will just paste it here, sorry everyone | 15:38 |
| TheSheep | Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600?]" Driver "nv" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | ugh. well, all it says is this: | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | Section "Device" | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | Identifier "Default Device" | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | Option "NoLogo" "True" | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | EndSection | 15:38 |
| AgentHeX | that's all. | 15:38 |
| TheSheep | EndSection | 15:38 |
| TheSheep | AgentHeX: well, then add a driver line there | 15:38 |
| TheSheep | by the way, is that a 6800 card? | 15:40 |
| AgentHeX | doesn't seem to matter. | 15:41 |
| AgentHeX | it's an ION chipset. | 15:42 |
| AgentHeX | xorg still fails. screw it. i'm just going to nuke it with wheezy. | 15:44 |
| AgentHeX | peace | 15:44 |
| TheSheep | AgentHeX: sorry for not much help, good luck with wheezy | 15:45 |
| AgentHeX | was trying to get Steam working on this to see how well it ran TF2. got all 12GB downloaded, but it won't actually load into game. figured it was a driver issue for using experimental, so swapped back to current and it crapped out. haven't tried Xubuntu in about 5 years. hopefully in another 5 years it won't be broken. | 15:46 |
| scottbomb1 | testing pidgin | 16:18 |

| subman | I am having some issues with Xubuntu freezing up different applications/actions. Thunderbird freezes constantly. I can click on a folder and nothing seems to happen for about 30 seconds. It will then switch to that folder and show the content. It will be fine again for a few moments and begin to freeze again. The 'start menu' also freezes. I click on the Xubuntu icon to get the drop down list of program categories and it just fre | 21:23 |
| subman | ezes. It will activate but not until about 20-30 seconds have passed. Any ideas why? | 21:23 |
| holstein | subman: i would take the installed OS out of the equation, as well as the user config.. i would create a new user and test, and i would run from a live CD. then, i would test hardware or repair software depending on what i find | 21:24 |
| subman | I shall try those. | 21:26 |
| David-A | subman: also check that you are not short of RAM | 21:27 |
| subman | David-A, I have 8 GB | 21:27 |
| subman | It's funny because my cpu load does not seem to go up at all. I have a dual core and I notice nothing unusual in the load pattern from when it is working normally to those moments of freezing. | 21:29 |
| knome | maybe broken ram or so | 21:29 |
| subman | Maybe. Everything else works during these freezes though. Just not the start menu when it freezes. I can go to firefox and work then come back and try the start menu and it will work just fine | 21:31 |
| David-A | subman: 8GB is plenty :) (but maybe check with SystemMonitor or free command that the system use it. I once had a buggy motherboard that found a random amount of ram each boot) | 21:31 |
| David-A | subman: do you use emacs? | 21:31 |
| subman | No | 21:31 |
| subman | free is showing the correct amount of RAM at the moment | 21:38 |
| holstein | subman: i would test the ram.. from a live CD.. also the hard drive.. and see that other user accounts have the same issue .. or a live CD | 21:38 |
| subman | Actually my Son just informed me that he has the very same issue with Xubuntu on his desktop computer | 21:43 |
| holstein | subman: i dont | 21:43 |
| subman | 12.10 with NVIDIA cards and drivers? | 21:43 |
| holstein | subman: do you are your son have the same hardware? or did you use the same installation media? | 21:43 |
| holstein | subman: i have testing 12.10 on ati and nvidia and intel.. and via | 21:44 |
| subman | No, different media, different hardware | 21:44 |
| subman | He is running a fresh install of Xubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu with Xubuntu-desktop installed. | 21:44 |
| holstein | subman: have you done any of the troubleshooting steps? i assure you that is not how ubuntu runs normally | 21:45 |
| subman | I can't yet. I don't have my machine free. I'll have to try it later tonight/tomorrow. | 21:46 |
| subman | I will try though | 21:46 |
| holstein | subman: it is safe to assume that ubuntu/xubuntu dont do that normally.. its not something that is "normal" | 21:46 |
| subman | I would think so. | 21:47 |
| subman | Only thing in common is the NVIDIA drivers | 21:47 |
| subman | I know I'm having serious issues with them on this machine. His seem to perform properly | 21:47 |
