[04:24] Anyone on, anyone up [04:26] donnie: mabye.. just ask if you have as support quesion, or check out the OT channel for chat [04:26] I'm going to be asking about bleachbit [04:27] donnie: i see you are getting help in #ubuntu.. [04:27] I go to many channels since it's rare for me to get 'help' in this channel [04:27] donnie: this is not a bleachbit support channel.. [04:28] 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] donnie: ask what you'd like to know.. i would do that in #ubuntu since its not a xubuntu specific question [04:29] questions like should I 'check' and remove .ds_store? is that a safe option? [04:29] 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? [04:30] donnie: are you worried about space? [04:30] id say, if you are not worried about space, leave things as they are [04:32] 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] http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/documentation [04:33] donnie: i would test the hardware as well... bad ram or a bad hard drive can seem slow [04:33] also, nmon helped me a lot [04:33] !info nmon [04:33] 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] How would I test my ram? [04:33] donnie: i use the memtest at bootup.. in grub, or from a live CD [04:34] Will do.. I'm gonna bleach bit my system, then restart and see whats up :) [04:34] Thank you [04:41] 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] Any ideas what can/should I do [05:22] 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 === xubuntu049 is now known as bootdon [07:49] 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. [07:50] Some does work. For example, I can mute and adjust volume. I can't adjust brightness [07:50] I can turn off wireless, but can't turn it back on without rebooting [07:50] Any tips please? [07:50] I had to add to my kernel line to get that working [07:52] Um... and the line is... [07:55] Jeenu, have you tried searching the web for your laptop model and linux/ubuntu? [07:55] I'm not on my laptop atm - yours might work differently [07:55] Jeenu, things like that many times need additional packages to work properly [07:55] Jeenu, or additional config, like moetunes pointed [07:56] I had to do some tweaks to get my trackpad recognize right-click and such [07:57] at least the hardware is certified... http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201206-11379/ [07:57] That's a relief [07:59] My priority is to disable my trackpad at will.

[16:00] I just noticed, I'm getting an error messgage in Transmission's log: error Unable to inhibit system's hibernation: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files [16:01] I;m geussing that Transmission has a hardcoced gnome-session dependency.Any tip on how to work this around? [16:01] what is the behavior in deluge [16:04] Haven't tried Deluge. I'd love to stick to Transmission. [16:08] ok. just wanted to rule out other issues. check launchpad for bugs === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster [16:24] 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] Should I be looking elsewhere? [16:25] 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] GermainZ: Kernel panics cant be logged since the kernel paniced away. [16:26] So I have no way of knowing why it happened? [16:28] it usuall tries to print everything it can on the screen [16:28] usually [16:28] if it still can [16:28] It did, but I didn't take note of it. [16:29] 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] so probably something related to the disk or filesystem [16:30] All the rest of the lines were related to the GPU IIRC, so I'm really not sure. [16:30] I'll remember to take a picture if it happens another time, thanks.

[17:47] yes [18:01] faster to reinstall ubuntu [18:01] .... [19:03] 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 [19:05] 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. [19:06] you got cut off after `I went into "display"` [19:09] 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. [19:10] 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 [19:11] at least that's how it is supposed to work [19:11] well, should I try it in "guest mode" just in case it screws up? [19:12] or create another user [19:12] oh, how do I do that?

[19:15] I'm a new user was a windows user before [19:15] xubuntu579: if you click that link in the first snippet, you should see a howto on adding users, with screenshots and everything [19:16] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto <-- this one [19:16] when you say "first snippet", you mean the part where we sign in? O.K. I will go to that link. [19:17] no [19:17] I mean the text that ubottu gave you when I said !user [19:18] anyways, I need to go, if you have any more trouble, ask here and someone will sooner or later answer [19:18] 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. [19:23] 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. [19:24] -set the "display" to use the monitor only. [19:29] 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. [19:45] Hi everyone!
