[08:15] yes, I am trying to install diablo 3 from the disk through wine, and I looked up why it wouldn't work [08:15] aparantly I have to mount my DVD drive with the unhide option or flag on [08:15] but I can't figure it out [08:16] well, did you try to just add 'unhide' to the options in your mount command? [08:17] have your tried installing it with playsonlinux ? [08:17] I just tried adding unhide to it and it didn't work [08:18] and I have never heard of playsonlinux, I think I will go check it out [08:18] Executable bit? [08:19] hm? [08:22] i3ear: why not using the online installation? [08:22] baizon, because we already bought it. Would the key that came with the game work if I downloaded it online? [08:23] of course [08:23] you have to create a battle.net account [08:23] there you have an installer for diablo [08:25] whell I can't create an account right now [08:25] the person who owns this game is asleep at the moment [08:25] if you have an account already there is a page where you can download the installer [08:25] I need this person to create the account [08:25] i3ear: ok, sec [08:25] I can't do it because it isn't my game [08:26] i3ear: then you have to wait, the installer is here https://eu.battle.net/account/management/download/ [08:27] i3ear: and more information here: http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4008281415#2 [08:36] alright, I am using playonlinux to install diablo 3 through the install file [08:37] 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] the installer keeps freezing [08:37] 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] and nothing happens [08:40] i3ear: i would recommend to ask this question on #winehq [08:46] sweet, thank you [10:47] so i finally got samba sort of working, i can see the share on windows but it's saying access denied, any ideas? === azeam is now known as azeam_afk [10:59] Is there a way to add a custom URL handler for SIP protocol to XUbuntu === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [12:25] Hello s.o.s. Help installing xubuntu 12.04 [12:26] xubuntu779: you have to ask a question, and if anybody knows the answer, they will answer [12:28] Thank you. After installing 12.04 laptop says error disk not found, rescue grub. I inserted live cd it has (initramfs) [12:39] Hello [12:39] I'm still waiting for a question. [12:40] What do you mean by "it has (initrams)"? [12:42] Hello the sheep, im new with xubuntu, 12.04 will not load, should i check for the iso image being corrupted? [12:42] Any way to get out of initramfs and load xununtu? Maybe rescue mode? [12:44] 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] xubuntu779: do you get the menu at the start? [12:46] xubuntu779: if so, you can try to verify th disc [12:48] mark_orion: you could try with the /usr/share/applications/defaults.list [12:49] 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] No menu af the start. Busybod v1.18.5 ....then (initramfs) [12:50] X-warrior`: bash does not autocomplete program parameters [12:50] so where do you have the problem exactly? [12:50] TheSheep: I will try that. Thanks [12:51] 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] xubuntu779: sounds like it's broken [12:51] start* [12:51] 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] X-warrior`: depends, if it is executable and in the path, otherwise you have to use ./nam [12:53] if it is a text-file for example "gedit nam should work [12:53] but if it is "anyotherprogram nam". Why it doesn't? :S [12:54] hm, i think it should :D [12:55] Ok the sheep. How could i check the md5sum? [12:56] koegs, that is odd, if I'm using vagrant... and press vagrant it shows me the acceptable parameters to the second parameter for example, help, box, suspend, ssh... [12:57] maybe it is this new version [12:58] 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] imo if it doesn't know how to handler a param, it should fallback to file complete... [13:00] X-warrior`: if you give me an exact scenario, i can test it, but here it works as expected... [13:01] koegs, what xfce4-terminal version do u have? [13:01] 0.6.1 [13:01] ok [13:01] but that does not matter, it is bash [13:01] X-warrior`, what seems tobe your problem? [13:03] 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] I'm trying to find this behavior with some "regular" program [13:03] X-warrior`, yes, thats a standard behaviour [13:04] !tab [13:04] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [13:04] the problem is, the param3 and 4 [13:04] it doesn't complete [13:04] i think bash cannot combine smart_complete and auto_complete :) [13:04] you might have made a typo somewhere [13:04] uhmm [13:06] X-warrior`, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570795/how-does-bash-tab-completion-work [13:07] interesting, thx GridCube [13:07] bash auto completion is different from other auto-completion terminal enviroments too [13:08] is this a "new feature"? I was stuck in the past with Ubuntu 11.10 [13:08] x) [13:09] is not [13:09] its a feature of bash since ever [13:10] so I don't get it, maybe the complete list is different now... [13:10] or ubuntu doesn't uses bash, and as far as I know it uses :S [13:10] what [13:10] ? [13:11] X-warrior`, you are talking crazy [13:11] type: `complete` [13:11] yes [13:11] and? [13:11] you will see a list of complete logic that it uses [13:11] right? [13:11] yes [13:12] i still dont know what your problem seems to be X-warrior` [13:12] If no complete logic is found, the default one seemed to be "filename complete" [13:13] and now, the "default" seems to be "nothing" [13:14] X-warrior`, so autocomplete is not working for you? [13:14] if I use leafpad nam it works [13:14] i don't think it ever defaulted to completing filenames as-is, without an application name [13:14] but if I'm using `vagrant box add xyz nam` [13:14] it doesn't [13:15] xyz are variables? [13:15] i mean not default things? [13:15] 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] well, i dont think bash understands autocomplete after that [13:16] https://github.com/kura/vagrant-bash-completion [13:16] https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/400 [13:18] X-warrior`, there you go, bash autocompletion for vagrant [13:19] ty [13:19] anyway, I think on my ubuntu 11.10 [13:19] np [13:19] that i just formated [13:19] if it doesn't understand, the bash used the filename completion [13:20] it use filename autocompletion if a filename can go in that place [13:20] or if nothing else absolutely can be done [14:21] How do I install themes? [14:23] !themes | john_rambo [14:23] 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) [14:24] right... [14:24] you should copy the themes unextracted to ~/.themes [14:24] if it doesn't exist, create it [14:24] john_rambo, ^ [14:24] I searched there is no .themes folder in my home dir [14:25] knome, [14:25] 16:24 knome: if it doesn't exist, create it [14:25] Okay [14:26] 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] Okay [14:59] 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] any one online that has some knowledge about bind9? [15:06] I would try a channel dedicated to bind. [15:06] (even though I'm sure plenty of people, including me, knows bind9) [15:06] This is not the right channel for that. [15:06] :) [15:09] silence what is the name of the channel [15:09] join #bind9 [15:09] You will have to look around; I dont know. [15:09] join bind9 [15:10] /join #bind9 [15:10] If that's what you want to do. [15:15] now i can't start X at all. driver api ismatch. I JUST WANT MY GUI BACK. [15:18] sadly, it's stupid bullshit like this that has kept me from dropping Windows entirely. [15:23] purge and reinstall nvidia-current did nothing. [15:24] why would it do anything> [15:24] because changing the nvidia driver is what fucked it up to begin with. [15:24] Xorg needs to die [15:24] then change it back? [15:24] lol [15:24] how? i'm stuck with a goddamn command prompt. [15:25] AgentHeX: what did you do exactly right before it broke? [15:25] (you can always switch it to vesa, btw) [15:25] hit "activate" on the non-experimental driver. [15:25] then rebooted. [15:25] then it sat with a blinking cursor, and i can only get to tty1-6. [15:25] what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say? [15:26] look for "EE" in it [15:26] you can view it with 'less /var/log/Xorg.0.log' [15:26] failed to load module "nv" module does not exist. [15:26] and you can search for "EE" with '/EE' and then pressing n will get you to the next entry [15:27] under NVIDIA(0) it says "failed to initialize the nvidia kernel module. please see... blah blah blah blah. [15:27] after the "please see" it should be mentioning a solution, maybe? [15:27] no. just says to check system's kernel log or consult nvidia readme. [15:28] try to focus and read more than the 5 first words [15:28] i just did cat to grep. last error is Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. [15:28] ok, so you are missing the nv kernel module, what does dmesg say on the subject? [15:28] AgentHeX: I know you're frustrated, but please keep the language clean. The channel is supposed to stay family friendly. Thanks! [15:29] api mismatch. [15:29] Cheri703: cat and greap are not swear words :) [15:29] grep [15:29] it was a few minutes ago, but the point is still valid [15:33] 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] 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] i'll give that a shot. [15:34] AgentHeX: well, binary blob drivers are broken in many ways, and we can't really fix them since they are closed source [15:34] so there are all sorts of workarounds for them [15:35] 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] just out of curiosity, though, where in the 4 lines of my xorg.conf file should it have "nv" or "nvidia?" [15:37] let me find you an example [15:38] I assume you don't have a browser working [15:38] so I will just paste it here, sorry everyone [15:38] Section "Device" Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600?]" Driver "nv" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" [15:38] ugh. well, all it says is this: [15:38] Section "Device" [15:38] Identifier "Default Device" [15:38] Option "NoLogo" "True" [15:38] EndSection [15:38] that's all. [15:38] EndSection [15:38] AgentHeX: well, then add a driver line there [15:40] by the way, is that a 6800 card? [15:41] doesn't seem to matter. [15:42] it's an ION chipset. [15:44] xorg still fails. screw it. i'm just going to nuke it with wheezy. [15:44] peace [15:45] AgentHeX: sorry for not much help, good luck with wheezy [15:46] 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] testing pidgin [16:24] 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] I've seemingly tried everything suggested out there... does anyone actually have this fixed? [16:43] Is there a way to map CapsLock to Ctrl? [16:44] scratch that... found it [17:05] hello === GridCube_ is now known as GridCube [19:04] While installing Mobile Media Converter I am getting this .... http://pastebin.com/bUJZD8BJ [19:13] Olá!!!! === ColPanic is now known as new_installation === new_installation is now known as newbie_installer [21:23] 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] ezes. It will activate but not until about 20-30 seconds have passed. Any ideas why? [21:24] 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] I shall try those. [21:27] subman: also check that you are not short of RAM [21:27] David-A, I have 8 GB [21:29] 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] maybe broken ram or so [21:31] 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] 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] subman: do you use emacs? [21:31] No [21:38] free is showing the correct amount of RAM at the moment [21:38] 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] Actually my Son just informed me that he has the very same issue with Xubuntu on his desktop computer [21:43] subman: i dont [21:43] 12.10 with NVIDIA cards and drivers? [21:43] subman: do you are your son have the same hardware? or did you use the same installation media? [21:44] subman: i have testing 12.10 on ati and nvidia and intel.. and via [21:44] No, different media, different hardware [21:44] He is running a fresh install of Xubuntu. I'm running Ubuntu with Xubuntu-desktop installed. [21:45] subman: have you done any of the troubleshooting steps? i assure you that is not how ubuntu runs normally [21:46] I can't yet. I don't have my machine free. I'll have to try it later tonight/tomorrow. [21:46] I will try though [21:46] subman: it is safe to assume that ubuntu/xubuntu dont do that normally.. its not something that is "normal" [21:47] I would think so. [21:47] Only thing in common is the NVIDIA drivers [21:47] I know I'm having serious issues with them on this machine. His seem to perform properly [21:48] subman: remove them, and test.. force vesa.. try the proprietary ones and the open ones.. try the live CD with nomodeset [21:50] subman, hmm, do you have nvidia optimus? [21:51] 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] thats a good question.. i have one of those as well, and i added a PPA for support [23:28] Hello. How do I check system integrity after installing Xubuntu?
