| holstein | donnie: mabye.. just ask if you have as support quesion, or check out the OT channel for chat | 04:26 |
| donnie | I'm going to be asking about bleachbit | 04:26 |
| holstein | donnie: i see you are getting help in #ubuntu.. | 04:27 |
| donnie | I go to many channels since it's rare for me to get 'help' in this channel | 04:27 |
| holstein | donnie: this is not a bleachbit support channel.. | 04:27 |
| donnie | I'm aware of this however if someone uses it. I'd like to know a couple things. since lately my xubuntu has been so slow. I'm considering shooting my hard drive | 04:28 |
| holstein | donnie: ask what you'd like to know.. i would do that in #ubuntu since its not a xubuntu specific question | 04:28 |
| donnie | questions like should I 'check' and remove .ds_store? is that a safe option? | 04:29 |
| holstein | donnie: i usually find "safe" can be a matter of opinion... do you need to remove it? can you back it up and test removing it? | 04:29 |
| holstein | donnie: are you worried about space? | 04:30 |
| holstein | id say, if you are not worried about space, leave things as they are | 04:30 |
| donnie | No. just wanna know why all of a sudden my computer is being so slow and lagging on everything I try and do | 04:32 |
| holstein | http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/documentation | 04:32 |
| holstein | donnie: i would test the hardware as well... bad ram or a bad hard drive can seem slow | 04:33 |
| holstein | also, nmon helped me a lot | 04:33 |
| holstein | !info nmon | 04:33 |
| ubottu | nmon (source: nmon): performance monitoring tool for Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 13g+debian-1 (quantal), package size 47 kB, installed size 160 kB | 04:33 |
| donnie | How would I test my ram? | 04:33 |
| holstein | donnie: i use the memtest at bootup.. in grub, or from a live CD | 04:33 |
| donnie | Will do.. I'm gonna bleach bit my system, then restart and see whats up :) | 04:34 |
| donnie | Thank you | 04:34 |
| mujeeb | I installed Xubuntu last night along side Windows 7. I didn't choose side by side install but partitioned and installed the drive myself. Windows 7 now appears on the grub boot menu but when I try to boot into it, it goes into a black screen and then comes back to the grub menu. | 04:41 |
| mujeeb | Any ideas what can/should I do | 04:41 |
| xubuntu049 | I am getting a fatal error installing GRUB bootloader to the same partition as my windows 7 bootloader (i previously had debian setup this way). After the fatal error, I attempt to select a different partition (this time the whole hard drive itself instead of an individual partition) and it says "Installation is complete. You need to start blah blah blah." I reset though, and then it takes me into GRUB rescue mode and tells me th | 05:22 |

| Jeenu | I recently installed Xubuntu 12.04 on my Asus X55C-SX078D laptop. One of the remaining hiccups is that the desktop doesn't recognize some of the Fn keyboard functions. For example, adjusting brightness, disabling trackpad etc. | 07:49 |
| Jeenu | Some does work. For example, I can mute and adjust volume. I can't adjust brightness | 07:50 |
| Jeenu | I can turn off wireless, but can't turn it back on without rebooting | 07:50 |
| Jeenu | Any tips please? | 07:50 |
| moetunes | I had to add to my kernel line to get that working | 07:50 |
| Jeenu | Um... and the line is... | 07:52 |
| knome | Jeenu, have you tried searching the web for your laptop model and linux/ubuntu? | 07:55 |
| moetunes | I'm not on my laptop atm - yours might work differently | 07:55 |
| knome | Jeenu, things like that many times need additional packages to work properly | 07:55 |
| knome | Jeenu, or additional config, like moetunes pointed | 07:55 |
| Jeenu | I had to do some tweaks to get my trackpad recognize right-click and such | 07:56 |
| knome | at least the hardware is certified... http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201206-11379/ | 07:57 |
| Jeenu | That's a relief | 07:57 |
| Jeenu | My priority is to disable my trackpad at will. It's large enough that my fingers accidentally touch them and disturbs | 07:59 |
| Jeenu | Let me try the forums | 08:02 |
| Jeenu | Thanks | 08:02 |
| xubuntu956 | ciao ;) qui si parla italiano o inglese? | 08:19 |

| pietrek | Hi! Is anybody here having problems with Transmission not inhibiting sleep/hibernation under Xubuntu, guys? | 15:57 |
| pietrek | I just noticed, I'm getting an error messgage in Transmission's log: errorUnable to inhibit system's hibernation: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files | 16:00 |
| pietrek | I;m geussing that Transmission has a hardcoced gnome-session dependency.Any tip on how to work this around? | 16:01 |
| bazhang | what is the behavior in deluge | 16:01 |
| pietrek | Haven't tried Deluge. I'd love to stick to Transmission. | 16:04 |

| GermainZ | My system hung during boot due to a kernel panic. I looked at /var/log/kern.log and I can't find it. It's as if that part of the log got skipped. | 16:24 |
| GermainZ | Should I be looking elsewhere? | 16:24 |
| TheMaster | Kernel panics don't get written, you wouldn't want them to either as the kernel is no longer working right, so could corrupt things rather than writing a log. You can load panic kernel with kexec, though. | 16:25 |
| bekks | GermainZ: Kernel panics cant be logged since the kernel paniced away. | 16:25 |
| GermainZ | So I have no way of knowing why it happened? | 16:26 |
| TheSheep | it usuall tries to print everything it can on the screen | 16:28 |
| TheSheep | usually | 16:28 |
| TheSheep | if it still can | 16:28 |
| GermainZ | It did, but I didn't take note of it. | 16:28 |
| GermainZ | The last few lines mentioned that the kernel couldn't sync if I'm not mistaken but I highly doubt that's useful on its own. :) | 16:29 |
| TheSheep | so probably something related to the disk or filesystem | 16:29 |
| GermainZ | All the rest of the lines were related to the GPU IIRC, so I'm really not sure. | 16:30 |
| GermainZ | I'll remember to take a picture if it happens another time, thanks. | 16:30 |

| bazhang | cheeseboy, please dont crosspost in multiple ubuntu channels | 17:37 |
| cheeseboy | please answer | 17:38 |
| bazhang | cheeseboy, be patient | 17:38 |
| GermainZ | cheeseboy, does this help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/98827/ati-driver-re-install-fail | 17:42 |
| GermainZ | It's not the same issue so I would advise reading before copying/pasting commands. | 17:43 |
| cheeseboy | /sbin/ldconfig.real: File /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so is empty, not checked. | 17:44 |

| xubuntu579 | hi , I am so thrilled with my xubuntu 12.04 installation. I got online and saw a site called, "Xubuntu, the Classic Beauty", and did all that they said to do to make Xubuntu all nice and "shiny". It runs wonderful. BUT, I have a broken pc screen, so I am hooked up to a monitor. I went in to "display" to see if I could turn off my broken pc screen, because it just blares at me with broken light. Well, when I went into "display", I | 19:03 |
| xubuntu579 | I went into xchat in guest mode. No one seemed to know what to do about that, so I just downloaded a clean Xubuntu 12.04. Could I have gone into safemode and fixed it? and how DO you set "display" to make only the monitor work without totally dissing your sign in. | 19:05 |
| TheSheep | you got cut off after `I went into "display"` | 19:06 |
| xubuntu579 | I went into "display" and tried to set the mode so I could use only my monitor. It turned it OFF! I was fine in guest mode and seemed to fix it right there. I downloaded a clean 12.04 installation and started over but am afraid to try 'display" to turn off my computer screen. | 19:09 |
| TheSheep | any changes to display will show you a window asking whether everything is allright, and if you don't click it, they will revert in several seconds | 19:10 |
| TheSheep | at least that's how it is supposed to work | 19:11 |
| xubuntu579 | well, should I try it in "guest mode" just in case it screws up? | 19:11 |
| TheSheep | or create another user | 19:12 |
| xubuntu579 | oh, how do I do that? | 19:12 |
| TheSheep | !user | 19:12 |
| ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 19:12 |
| xubuntu579 | i'm new to linex I actually fixed a failed Windows Vista with Xubuntu 12.04. I am writing on it right now. | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | don't worry, xubuntu is fairly easy | 19:13 |
| xubuntu579 | where is sudo | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | !sudo | 19:13 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 19:13 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu579: you can also /msg ubottu for those help snippets | 19:14 |
| xubuntu579 | do you mean the terminal | 19:14 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu579: personally, I like to use xrandr for all the screen-related settings | 19:15 |
| xubuntu579 | what do you mean? | 19:15 |
| xubuntu579 | I'm a new user was a windows user before | 19:15 |
| TheSheep | xubuntu579: if you click that link in the first snippet, you should see a howto on adding users, with screenshots and everything | 19:15 |
| TheSheep | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto <-- this one | 19:16 |
| xubuntu579 | when you say "first snippet", you mean the part where we sign in? O.K. I will go to that link. | 19:16 |
| TheSheep | no | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | I mean the text that ubottu gave you when I said !user | 19:17 |
| TheSheep | anyways, I need to go, if you have any more trouble, ask here and someone will sooner or later answer | 19:18 |
| xubuntu579 | sorry, don't get it, only because I'm so knew at it all. O.K. Thanks for the sites. I'll look them up. | 19:18 |
| xubuntu579 | Does anyone else know how to set "display" to use the monitor? I have a broken pc screen and have a monitor hooked up to it that I use. I wanted to know if there was a way to turn off my pc screen and see only the monitor. Right now, the broken pc screen and the monitor are on. | 19:23 |
| xubuntu579 | -set the "display" to use the monitor only. | 19:24 |
| xubuntu579 | I need help setting the "display" to make only the monitor work. I have a broken pc screen and want to turn IT off. Yesterday, I accidentally turned off the monitor when I was messing with the "display" and had to download a clean Xubuntu 12.04. Nobody in xchat knew how to fix that. | 19:29 |
