=== jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [03:04] OK guys, I am stuck here and could seriously use a hand. I have a Samsung 700Z5A laptop - I can not install ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 unless upgrading from 12.04 LTS..... I switched to studio because, well, way better for what I do, pleasently surprised.... so, I install 13.04. No go. 12.10 no go. 12.04 good. Upgrade to 12.10, no go... says its good but screen just turns on and off after reboot. so i stay on 12.04... then after [03:04] a few hours of successful setting up the screen begins to flicker with horozontal/vertical lines HORRIBLY.... i searched and found a kernal to DL and it stopped the issue. Mind you, it started out of nowhere... THEN when its fixed i now can not see the menus right, specifically the white colors - i am using the NOX theme and it looks horrible - so i switch to a dark ugly theme so see, and come here to beg for some help... as [03:04] ive been at this for a long damn time (months if you count from when I started w/ ubuntu and my other issues) and Ive got work in the AM and I feel like I'll go nuts if I go to bed without resolving this crap. I could take a screen snap or something? I don't know what to say, remote desktop assistence, I am stuck here and reeeeally could use some help, it would be appreciated beyond words. Anyone? Oh, can't right click [03:04] either... and, I've installed and reinstalled Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio like 20 freaking times. [03:07] when you try the live cd, does everything work right?

[04:25] ? [04:25] ? [04:25] ? [05:36] hi all [05:36] what's new in 13.04 xubuntu, any opinons on ho runsw it [05:40] KazraC: it runs well :) [05:40] very stable [05:48] nice how long have u been running it [05:50] KazraC: since beta 1 [05:51] is it your main os, i uased to run unbuntu back at version 5, my laptop is running windows 8 and i dont like it [05:52] i am trying out win 7 on it and runs retty good [05:52] baut thinking of linux again [05:52] yes its my main OS [05:52] do you know of any driver issues [05:53] well im using a AMD graphics card and have no prob with it [05:53] xubuntu has been my main os for years [05:53] * KazraC rases an eyebrow [05:53] i think im still on 11 tho [05:53] my wifi drivers got a little bug that it spams some crazy msg in the log but its nothing big [05:53] my older toshiba had wifi driver problems [05:53] am running an acer [05:53] but just bought a new samsung and installed xubuntu 13.04 with no problem [05:54] well, i had problems, but it was due to xubuntu [05:54] the acer is only like a month old [05:55] any way must dash, see you all later [05:55] bye [05:55] i had hell trying to dual boot xubuntu and win7 [06:07] <[0gb_us]> Quick question: if I install ksplice from the Software Center, will that prevent me from needing to reboot after installing kernel updates from the Update Manager? [06:52] !info ksplice [06:52] ksplice (source: ksplice): Patching live kernel without having to reboot. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.9-4 (raring), package size 1244 kB, installed size 3084 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; arm; armel; armhf) [06:53] thats what the description says, not tried it myself [06:53] <[0gb_us]> Yes, I know what ksplice is, I just don't know if Update Manager would take advantage of it. [06:54] <[0gb_us]> Oh, okay. I'd test it, but I don't really know how to know when a kernel patch is coming up. [06:54] Uptrack/Ksplice Update Manager is a different application to id. [06:54] <[0gb_us]> Okay. That's what I thought was most probable. Thanks! [07:19] Guys, why do the monitor brightness keys stop working when I close the power manager? :( [07:20] <[0gb_us]> I wouldn't know. I can't even get the brightness keys working when the power manager is running ... [07:24] :( [07:25] <[0gb_us]> Yeah, not so good. Oddly enough, it works in Ubuntu, just not in Xubuntu. But Ubuntu is full of usability issues and is needlessly resource intensive. [07:25] [0gb_us] - Thankfully that's not a problem here...but I don't understand, xfce4-power-manager and xset dpms and xscreensaver conflict settings all the freaking time... [07:26] and I try to not have power manager run on startup because I don't really require it anymore, I uncheck it in startup and it still runs on start [07:26] <[0gb_us]> That's odd. [07:26] I added a killall xfce4-power-manager on start, then. [07:26] And now I find that the brightness keys don't work without it, wat. :S [07:27] <[0gb_us]> I'm going to kill xscreensaver and see if it alters my issue. I don't know what xset dpms is though, so I'll hope that isn't running. [07:28] <[0gb_us]> And .... no. That didn't fix my brightness buttons. [07:28] xset dpms x y z lets you set timers for (IIRC) auto shutdown, auto suspend, and auto turn off screen, in seconds, respectively. [07:29] <[0gb_us]> Ah, that. I think I saw a setting for that, but I have it disabled. === LNCP is now known as Guest36426 [08:44] How do you enable hibernate in 12.04 with xfce 4.10 I have confirmed that my pc can hibernate with pm-hibernate === Aiena1 is now known as Aiena [09:00] Aiena: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html [09:03] baizon: thanks [09:03] will reboot and check [09:07] baizon: It worked only one tiny issue [09:12] when I press the power button unlike before it used to present the hibernate option in that menu too. Now that menu still shows only logout, restart and shutdown earlier I remember it used to show all four [09:12] in my prev xubuntu installation I had formatted afterwards [09:12] both were 12.04 only [09:13] Aiena: How much swap do you have, and how much RAM do you have? [09:13] 4 gb ram and a 4gb swap [09:14] default [09:14] bekks [09:14] but what has that got to do with the gui ? [09:15] it is only the power button menu which does not show it - one sec [09:15] between pm-hibernate works fine [09:15] I tested it out before enabling hibernate [09:17] bekks: the hibernate does option does not appear here http://i.stack.imgur.com/zqvov.jpg [09:18] I ran xfce4-power-manager --dump [09:18] Authorized to hibernate: True [09:18] I can see the hibernate option in your paste. [09:18] the hibernate option appears in the taskbar [09:18] no thats a sample [09:19] in mine only the top three appear - log out, restart and shutdown [09:19] I cant print screen mine when the power button is pressed [09:19] it freezes the desktop [09:20] So that paste is useless,since it doesnt show your actual screen. :) [09:21] <[0gb_us]> It was useful in conveying where Aiena was looking for the option. [09:22] bekks: preparing another image hold on [09:26] <[0gb_us]> I have a question. What's up with the user name restrictions in (Xu|U)buntu ? In Fedora, I used the same user name I always use when I can: 0gb.us. In Xubuntu, names cannot contain dots, an even odder, cannot start with a digit. [09:27] <[0gb_us]> *and [09:27] bekks: http://imagebin.org/261102 [09:27] that will help I think [09:29] I just install xubuntu now ! [09:29] <[0gb_us]> Yay! [09:30] xubuntu724: great :) [09:30] have fun !! It takes a bit of time to learn the commnad line but then :) [09:30] *command [09:31] there will be fun ;) bye everybody :) [09:31] Aye [09:33] bekks: Is there any solution this ones a tricky one [09:43] *one's [09:43] I'm out of clues, sorry. [09:47] thanks [09:48] bekks: is there a way to print out images as printer output e.g. one printed page as one image [10:02] Hi koegs [10:03] Aiena: Yes, configure your printer, and just print an image you've taken. [10:04] no print output of any print command as individual jpgs -> some thing like a printer which pronts out jpg/pngs [10:04] say a image printer [10:04] it prints out one jpg per page - like a print to file option [10:04] something like that [10:04] There is a print to pdf option. [10:05] hmm I want to print from a pdf to individual jpgs then make adjustments to the output and then print the images on the actual printer === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [12:24] hey [12:25] I'm trying to install nvidia drivers (latest) for my gtx 560 ti card on xubuntu 13.04, but resulted in a few bsods, how do I proceed with this? [12:26] desktop pc, not a laptop [12:50] Someone here? [12:52] Xaysia: Here, just don't know the answer. [12:52] Thanks for the answer man! === IsoAnon is now known as Isolol [13:01] BSOD in *ubuntu, never heard of that :) [13:01] there literally is no such thing [13:02] you might get kernel panic or X error screen but neither is blue [13:02] Xaysia: how did you try to install them? [13:03] I tried via the terminal [13:03] how [13:03] well, never said blue, i get a halt error message on a black page [13:03] via the apt-get install command [13:03] package nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates [13:04] (BSOD is acronym for Blue Screen Of Death) [13:04] you need to use software-properties [13:05] of course, but in this case i mean a black screen [13:05] which properties? [13:05] application called software-properties (maybe software-properties-gtk) [13:05] got those already downloaded [13:05] but when I reboot and try to start up xubuntu [13:05] all I see is a flashing dash [13:06] and it wont recognize the gfx card afaik [13:06] no it looks like worse error, not finding kernel/root partition [13:07] it seems to find the kernel/root [13:07] but the card itself is not recognized [13:07] how do I get the software-properties-gtk? [13:08] I can try see if I have it already, I think I already have it though [13:08] press ctrl alt F1, login, remove the packages you installed and /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have one [13:08] software-properties is graphical, you need to get to the desktop first [13:09] how do I see which packages I have installed? [13:09] I'm a bit new to the xubuntu system [13:09] start with nvidia-current and nvidia-current-updates [13:10] dd, purged those [13:12] how do I proceed? [13:13] Sysi: purged nvidia* [13:13] rm -rf /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot [13:14] Sysi: reboot done [13:15] didn't get to desktop? [13:15] yeah, on desktop atm [13:15] I think you should have menu entry for installing drivers in settings dialog [13:16] settings dialog? [13:17] I cant find anything that has to do with drivers [13:18] well try launching software-propoerties from terminal [13:19] via which command? [13:22] "software-[press Tab]" [13:23] ah, I'm on software & updates now [13:23] No proprietary drivers are in use. [13:25] Where do I find the drivers? [13:27] Sysi: lmk [13:57] i want to learn something [13:57] while installing xubuntu === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [14:31] Hi! Happened to have a small problem here, came to see if someone can help me. I was using my Xubuntu desktop, and the light went off. Then, when I turned it on again, the resolution was low (1024x768), and I can't set it higher through the menu [14:31] Anyone has any idea on how to solve this [14:31] ? [14:31] bluewhale: When you say the light went off, do you mean you had a power outage? [14:35] bgardner: yes [14:35] (I'm not a native English speaker, sorry) [14:37] In the menu, there just isn't any resolution option higher than 1024x768 [14:37] bluewhale: Please pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file (or review it yourself for clues). [14:39] hi, here it is http://pastebin.com/W1WaNvEm [14:39] oops [14:39] sorry, just a sec [14:39] this is from the wrong computer [14:41] here: http://pastebin.com/nARsS5cD [14:46] any idea? :S [14:47] bluewhale: Hang on, reading. [14:47] Ok. [14:53] bluewhale: Well, according to the log file everything is working properly. Do you remember the resolution you had set before the crash? [14:57] bgardner: yes, 1600x900 [14:58] The resolution bacame seriously degraded... [14:58] bluewhale: Power it completely off, then power off the monitor. Wait briefly, then turn everything back on. After a power blip you never know what got rattled. [14:59] bluewhale: Please let us know how that goes. [14:59] bgardner: I have done that already. The power went down a few days ago, and the problem is happening since then. [14:59] I have powered the computer off and on a couple of times, since then [15:00] the monitor too [15:00] pretty sure it's a problem in the system [15:00] can the Xorg configurations have been disconfigured? [15:00] bluewhale: Okay, let's walk it through then. Do this: sudo lshw -C video [15:03] ok, just a sec [15:04] here http://pastebin.com/JBVdjdW7 [15:06] bluewhale: Stand by one. [15:06] ok. [15:07] Is there a way to list all files installed by a package in terminal ? [15:08] man dpkg [15:08] should be dpkg -L [15:11] (I'm still here, for the record) [15:13] bluewhale: Others here are probably smarter than me about X, but the way I read the log it looks like the monitor capabilities being reported by auto-probing it are what is resulting in your reduced resolution. [15:14] so, any idea on how to fix it? [15:14] bluewhale: I do understand that can't be the root cause since you said the only difference is the power outage. [15:15] I with there was some way to just reset everything related to Xorg... [15:15] This is a really annoying problem [15:20] Any lead on what might take me to a solution? [15:24] anything [15:24] just anything === marco is now known as Guest40950 [15:34] :( [15:40] bluewhale: I apologize, got torn away. I'm still looking. [15:41] bluewhale: Do you have a config file at /etc/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/xorg.conf? [15:46] let me see [15:46] no, I don't [15:46] does that tell something? [15:47] bluewhale: Sometimes - I'm mostly just gathering clues right now. [15:47] bluewhale: My current theory is that your monitor isn't replying with a correct EDID, but I've never had a situation where a power cycle didn't clear the issue. [15:47] ok [15:48] hm [15:48] oh, might be relevant that my /home folder is mounted from a server [15:48] a storage server I have here [15:48] that acts as my router as well [15:49] (it's in my LAN) [15:49] bluewhale: Thanks, I'll keep it in mind but for now I don't think that should be a part of the issue. [15:52] bluewhale: Try this: sudo apt-get install read-edid [15:52] bluewhale: Then: sudo get-edid | parse-edid [15:52] bluewhale: Then pastebin the result. [15:53] just a sec [15:56] here [15:56] http://pastebin.com/sx8C14Db [15:56] not sure what all that means [15:57] seems like some sort of error [16:02] bluewhale: Well, that looks to me like it's related. On my system that results in a modeline appropriate for X to use. I'm wondering if your monitor was damaged from the power blip and now isn't responding with proper EDIDs. Do you have another monitor you can test so you can rule in/out the video card & software? [16:03] no, I don't... [16:04] bluewhale: Well, if I were you my next move would be to dismantle your video: Power off, then unplug the monitor from everything (data & power), clean all your connections and plug everything back in, then power it all back on. [16:04] bluewhale: I admit, I'm stymied. [16:05] well, let's try [16:05] but you provided me with some useful info [16:05] these errors on the last pastebin [16:05] bluewhale: Glad to help, let us know if you have any luck. [16:05] I think I can search for more info with them :) [16:05] ok [16:05] !hi [16:05] Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out.

What is the problem [20:25] ? [20:28] It's trying to put them in the trash, try Shift+delete, but that also most likely won't work as I'm guessing you mounted read only. [20:31] shift + del worked [20:32] so why it is not deleted just by del? [20:44] Hey there. I just set up Autofs for some of my cifs (samba), nfs and USB drives. All this works, however, is there a way for autofs to actually mount all these shares/devices at startup without me having to cd into those paths? [20:44] i've been stumbling about the manpages and can't seem to find anything that suggests this [20:44] also, i've failed hard at google-fu [20:45] Kaurin: Well, if you just want them to be mapped at startup, perhaps autofs isn't the way to go? [20:47] bgardner, there is one more thing [20:47] those cifs mounts - some are for when i'm at home, and some are for when i'm at work [20:47] i'd like autofs to be persistent and keep polling those mounts [20:47] and mount them when they are available [20:48] i know that a simple cronjob could do this "cd > /dev/null 2>&1" but... you know :) [20:48] if there is a cleaner way, i'd really like to know it :D [20:48] Kaurin: ...what? That's a pretty good idea, actually. [20:49] what idea? cronjob / cd ? [20:49] Kaurin: Although I don't know that I would send the output to null - if it fails, perhaps you want to keep the output. [20:49] Kaurin: Yeah, I was actually going to suggest it. [20:50] it will always fail for some mounts :) don't really need the output [20:50] Kaurin: Sounds like you answered your own question - just go the cron job route. [20:50] if something is horribly wrong, then i'd disable that cronjob, and do automount -v -d -f (verbose / debug / foreground) [20:50] sigh [20:50] seems like i'll have to :D [20:52] thank you for words of encouragement bgardner [20:52] Kaurin: My pleasure, good luck with your project [20:54] btw: autofs package is kind of weird. the auto.master has two directives that don't make sense, and can't get parsed by default: +auto.master and +auto.master.d./ ... why would auto.master refer back to itself, and why is there a line refering to a directory which does not exist upon autofs install... sigh [21:05] hola alguien me puede asesorar que versionn convien para una pc vieja [21:05] hola alguien me puede asesorar que versionn convien para una pc vieja [21:06] !es | xubuntu268 [21:06] xubuntu268: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.
