[04:05] <xubuntu320> hello guys!
[06:57] <SuperLag> where does the stock terminal app for XFCE get its settings? in /etc/passwd I have my default shell set to /usr/bin/zsh. When I log in fron the console, I get zsh, as expected.
[06:57] <SuperLag> But when I'm in XFCE, and open a terminal window... I get /bin/bash
[07:02] <sids> how to enable system sounds in xubuntu 12.04? audio from media files is fine, systems sounds not working. please help
[07:07] <SunStar> click on the volume meter in the indicator panel -> sound settings -> playback tab. make sure they arent turned down or muted
[07:10] <SunStar> if they arent enabled, you can enabled them @ Applications → Settings → Settings Manager → Appearance → Settings → Event sounds → [x] Enable event sounds
[07:13] <baizon> SunStar: http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/advanced
[07:14] <SunStar> SuperLag, http://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/advanced
[07:14] <SunStar> :P
[07:14] <baizon> ou yes
[07:15] <baizon> sorry its early in the morning, got no coffee yet
[07:15] <SunStar> thanks though i was wonderind that just when you posted it
[07:16] <SunStar> its like ur a mind reader er something
[08:14] <i3ear> is anyoe there?
[08:14] <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?
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <TheSheep> well, did you try to just add 'unhide' to the options in your mount command?
[08:17] <SunStar> have your tried installing it with playsonlinux ?
[08:17] <i3ear> I just tried adding unhide to it and it didn't work
[08:18] <i3ear> and I have never heard of playsonlinux, I think I will go check it out
[08:18] <Unit193> Executable bit?
[08:19] <i3ear> hm?
[08:22] <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?
[08:23] <baizon> of course
[08:23] <baizon> you have to create a battle.net account
[08:23] <baizon> there you have an installer for diablo
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <baizon> i3ear: then you have to wait, the installer is here https://eu.battle.net/account/management/download/
[08:27] <baizon> i3ear: and more information here: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4008281415#2
[08:36] <i3ear> alright, I am using playonlinux to install diablo 3 through the install file
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <i3ear> and nothing happens
[08:40] <baizon> i3ear: i would recommend to ask this question on #winehq
[08:46] <i3ear> sweet, thank you
[10:47] <Naphatul> so i finally got samba sort of working, i can see the share on windows but it's saying access denied, any ideas?
[10:59] <mark_orion> Is there a way to add a custom URL handler for SIP protocol to XUbuntu
[12:25] <xubuntu779> Hello s.o.s. Help installing xubuntu 12.04
[12:26] <TheSheep> xubuntu779: you have to ask a question, and if anybody knows the answer, they will answer
[12:28] <xubuntu779> Thank you. After installing 12.04 laptop says error disk not found, rescue grub. I inserted live cd it has (initramfs)
[12:39] <xubuntu779> Hello
[12:39] <TheSheep> I'm still waiting for a question.
[12:40] <TheSheep> What do you mean by "it has (initrams)"?
[12:42] <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?
[12:44] <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.
[12:46] <TheSheep> xubuntu779: do you get the menu at the start?
[12:46] <TheSheep> xubuntu779: if so, you can try to verify th disc
[12:48] <TheSheep> mark_orion: you could try with the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
[12:49] <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)
[12:50] <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
[12:51] <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
[12:52] <koegs> X-warrior`: depends, if it is executable and in the path, otherwise you have to use ./nam<tab>
[12:53] <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
[12:54] <koegs> hm, i think it should :D
[12:55] <xubuntu779> Ok the sheep.  How could i check the md5sum?
[12:56] <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...
[12:57] <X-warrior`> maybe it is this new version
[12:58] <koegs> X-warrior`: i think this is depending on the program, for example it work for apt-get too, but not for all programs
[12:59] <X-warrior`> imo if it doesn't know how to handler a param, it should fallback to file complete...
[13:00] <koegs> X-warrior`: if you give me an exact scenario, i can test it, but here it works as expected...
[13:01] <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?
[13:03] <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
[13:04] <GridCube> !tab
[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
[13:06] <GridCube> X-warrior`, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570795/how-does-bash-tab-completion-work
[13:07] <koegs> interesting, thx GridCube
[13:07] <GridCube> bash auto completion is different from other auto-completion terminal enviroments too
[13:08] <X-warrior`> is this a "new feature"? I was stuck in the past with Ubuntu 11.10
[13:08] <X-warrior`> x)
[13:09] <GridCube> is not
[13:09] <GridCube> its a feature of bash since ever
[13:10] <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> ?
[13:11] <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
[13:12] <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"
[13:13] <X-warrior`> and now, the "default" seems to be "nothing"
[13:14] <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
[13:15] <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
[13:16] <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
[13:18] <GridCube> X-warrior`, there you go, bash autocompletion for vagrant
[13:19] <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
[13:20] <GridCube> it use filename autocompletion if a filename can go in that place
[13:20] <GridCube> or if nothing else absolutely can be done
[14:21] <john_rambo> How do I install themes?
[14:23] <knome> !themes | john_rambo
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <john_rambo> knome,
[14:25] <knome> 16:24  knome: if it doesn't exist, create it
[14:25] <john_rambo> Okay
[14:26] <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
[14:59] <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?
[15:05] <mr_d> any one online that has some knowledge about bind9?
[15:06] <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-> :)
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <Silence->  /join #bind9
[15:10] <Silence-> If that's what you want to do.
[15:15] <AgentHeX> now i can't start X at all.  driver api ismatch.  I JUST WANT MY GUI BACK.
[15:18] <AgentHeX> sadly, it's stupid bullshit like this that has kept me from dropping Windows entirely.
[15:23] <AgentHeX> purge and reinstall nvidia-current did nothing.
[15:24] <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.
[15:25] <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?
[15:26] <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
[15:27] <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.
[15:28] <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!
[15:29] <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
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <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
[15:35] <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.
[15:36] <AgentHeX> just out of curiosity, though, where in the 4 lines of my xorg.conf file should it have "nv" or "nvidia?"
[15:37] <TheSheep> let me find you an example
[15:38] <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
[15:40] <TheSheep> by the way, is that a 6800 card?
[15:41] <AgentHeX> doesn't seem to matter.
[15:42] <AgentHeX> it's an ION chipset.
[15:44] <AgentHeX> xorg still fails.  screw it.  i'm just going to nuke it with wheezy.
[15:44] <AgentHeX> peace
[15:45] <TheSheep> AgentHeX: sorry for not much help, good luck with wheezy
[15:46] <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.
[16:18] <scottbomb1> testing pidgin
[16:24] <martian> Hey folks, I've been using xubuntu for a while now; just installed a clean copy and I guess I was hoping the chrome-as-default-browser thing would have been fixed in the newer releases
[16:24] <martian> I've seemingly tried everything suggested out there... does anyone actually have this fixed?
[16:43] <SuperLag> Is there a way to map CapsLock to Ctrl?
[16:44] <SuperLag> scratch that... found it
[17:05] <drobins> hello
[19:04] <john_rambo> While installing Mobile Media Converter I am getting this .... http://pastebin.com/bUJZD8BJ
[19:13] <xubuntu636> Olá!!!!
[21:23] <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?
[21:24] <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
[21:26] <subman> I shall try those.
[21:27] <David-A> subman: also check that you are not short of RAM
[21:27] <subman> David-A, I have 8 GB
[21:29] <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
[21:31] <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
[21:38] <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
[21:43] <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?
[21:44] <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.
[21:45] <holstein> subman: have you done any of the troubleshooting steps? i assure you that is not how ubuntu runs normally
[21:46] <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"
[21:47] <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
[21:48] <holstein> subman: remove them, and test.. force vesa.. try the proprietary ones and the open ones.. try the live CD with nomodeset
[21:50] <knome> subman, hmm, do you have nvidia optimus?
[21:51] <subman> No, I don't believe it is the Optimus drivers.  I don't think they cover my graphics card.  I check for the latest that support my card.
[21:52] <holstein> thats a good question.. i have one of those as well, and i added a PPA for support
[23:28] <xubuntu149> Hello. How do I check system integrity after installing Xubuntu?
