[01:58] <zimzum_>  hi, does anyone know how to increase the window border size in Xubuntu?
[02:09] <Unit193> zimzum_: If I remember correctly, that's more theme based.
[02:18] <zimzum_> Unit193, ah well -- tried some other built in themes and the borders were all the same size afai can tell
[02:19] <zimzum_> do you know what folder the themes are stored in?
[02:24] <Unit193> /usr/share/themes/ and ~/.themes/  I may be remembering quite wrong.
[02:27] <zimzum_> you got it
[02:28] <Unit193> (Wrong on the borders, gtk-theme-editor may help.)
[02:30] <zimzum_> okay, I'll try and see what I can find
[04:12] <gry> https://pastee.org/jnvm8 what did I break here?
[04:14] <pleia2> gry: looks like this is related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave3.2/+bug/465005
[04:15] <gry> I don't get libumfpack line
[04:16] <pleia2> don't worry about that, later in the bug someone has your same problem and a solution
[04:16] <gry> literally - I don't see a line like that in my output
[04:16] <gry> ah
[04:17] <gry> yes, thanks
[04:18] <pleia2> sure
[04:21] <gry> added this detail to Octave wiki itself so others have it without skimming irc and bugs logs
[06:25] <cfhowlett2> anyone home?  what's the keyboard shortcut to call the terminal
[06:31] <elfy> cfhowlett2: Super+T
[06:34] <cfhowlett2> elfy, thanks.
[06:36] <elfy> I believe that there is a change coming - ctrl+alt+t
[06:36] <elfy> or at least it's being discussed
[06:37] <Unit193> And commited, may have been uploaded to Saucy too.
[06:43] <elfy> Unit193: thanks - wasn't sure - just know it's not working here yet :)
[06:45] <Unit193> elfy: And it won't, unless you dump your .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml (May have to do it with xfce not running.)
[06:47] <elfy> :)
[11:12] <SoP> Hi guys, I am about to install xubuntu on my laptop after buying an SSD
[11:13] <SoP> I still have a hard drive in my second drive bay, so i was wondering how i should divide the partitions...
[11:13] <SoP> Right now i have a 200MB boot and 50 GB root partition on my ssd
[11:13] <baizon> SoP: i have root and /home on my ssd
[11:14] <baizon> my media is on HDD
[11:14] <SoP> and /home (400 gigs) on my hdd
[11:15] <baizon> SoP: how big is your ssd?
[11:15] <SoP> My ssd is only 64GB, so i supposed it would be better to put /home entirely on the hard drive
[11:15] <SoP> but I was wondering about /usr/local, /var and /tmp?
[11:15] <baizon> SoP: well it depends. I got a 40GB SSD and both root and home are on it
[11:17] <SoP> baizon, (for me) i believe 40 gigs of /home wont be enough
[11:17] <baizon> SoP: well all my configurations from home are on the SSD. The other "big" stuff is on the HDD
[11:18] <baizon> i got it mounted into /home/user/Media
[11:18] <SoP> I see, thats a good idea
[11:19] <baizon> because when you put home on your hdd programs will start fast but they need to read/write cache/config which will get slow because they have to access the HDD
[11:28] <baizon> A question... There is a icon which pops up when some additional things have to be done, for example when installing flash/dropbox etc. Where can i find information about it? I want to write a script which activates this information icon.
[11:29] <NewbieLinux> Hello?
[11:30] <baizon> hi
[11:30] <NewbieLinux> Hi is this where I could get some assitance with xubuntu?
[11:31] <NewbieLinux> Its relating to a "hdd:0 out of disk" error at boot
[11:31] <baizon> NewbieLinux: you can ask here or on #ubuntu
[11:31] <Sysi> baizon: "xwininfo" might tell
[11:33] <NewbieLinux> Ok thanks baizon
[11:33] <NewbieLinux> So its alright I explain my problem here to you?
[11:39] <NewbieLinux> Crap I got a short time, Thanks anyway
[11:39] <baizon> Sysi: thanks, problem solved :)
[11:57] <raju> need help about binding separate /home to a fresh install  Xubuntu System.
[12:03] <baizon> raju: yes, and the problem is?
[12:04] <raju> baizon, fresh system not taking /home as a home place
[12:04] <baizon> raju: have you formatted it and set the filesystem?
[12:05] <raju> no , its a separate home partition and from my old ubuntu system
[12:05] <Sysi> raju: check UUID with "sudo blkid" if you know the partition and add it to /etc/fstab
[12:07] <raju> it's moung with out any problem .  Sysi  but the problem is how can makde my system to use /home as its home partition .
[12:08] <Sysi> by mounting the partition to /home
[12:09] <raju> ok i will try
[12:09] <Sysi> if you want to use the old user's home folder you need to have same username and maybe chown files to new user if the id is different
[12:10] <raju> oh no , here they are different :(
[12:11] <Sysi> well, you can copy files
[12:12] <raju> you mean from /home to new home ?
[12:13] <Sysi> from old user's folder to new user
[12:13] <raju> got it :)
[12:13] <Sysi> moving with mv would probably work better though
[12:14] <raju> thank you :) Sysi
[12:14] <Sysi> np
[14:29] <rhododendron> hi, i'm stuck with an odd problem. i installed gnome-sudoku, and every time i start it the width of the window is wider than my display. I can change the height, but i cannot narrow the window, only make it even wider.
[14:48] <Arsapi> #xubuntu-offtopic
[14:48] <cfhowlett> Arsapi, no such animal ... try #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:48] <Arsapi> sorry
[14:49] <Arsapi> keyboard mallfunction :)
[14:49] <Sysi> (there is #xubuntu-offtopic though)
[14:49] <antisober552> Hi guys i have a problem with my wifi card it was working now its not
[14:49] <antisober552> My card is rlt8185l
[14:49] <Unit193> !crosspost | antisober552
[14:50] <Arsapi> yes there is :) and thats what i was tryin but forgot to add the "/join"
[14:50] <cfhowlett> !details|antisober552,
[14:50] <cfhowlett> antisober552, lots more people in #ubuntu so you might wish to ask there
[14:51] <antisober552> Well i cant cause i cant ask in  multiple channels
[14:53] <antisober552> Im on lubuntu and i had this problem on xubuntu there the pc just freezes when i lost wifi now i installed lubuntu and worked fine for he first boot after a restart it does not work at all
[14:53] <TheSheep> what did you do just before it broke?
[14:54] <antisober552> I was just xchat irc
[14:55] <antisober552> I can remember why i needed to reboot the system but i did now it does not work
[14:56] <antisober552> I tried to install the windows driver using ndiswrapper
[14:56] <antisober552> But nothing
[14:57] <antisober552> I have a lve usb i i bot into that and run it from usb the wifi works fine
[14:57] <antisober552> Sorry about spelling im on my phone
[15:18] <SoP> Hi guys, I have a question about cron (that i didn't by googling)
[15:18] <SoP> (for which I didn't find the answer by googling)
[15:18] <Pici> Just ask.
[15:19] <SoP> When i want cron to do a certain job every day, but my pc is off when it should run, will it run automatically when it boots?
[15:19] <baizon> SoP: cron -> no, anacron -> yes
[15:20] <SoP> Even when it's actually already too late for the job?
[15:20] <SoP> I'll look into anacron
[15:20] <baizon> cron will just drop the job, anacron will run it
[15:21] <SoP> I see, that's exactly what i needed, thanks!
[15:22] <kim_plausible> hi, how is the support for switchable gpu tech like optimus at the moment?
[15:24] <Sysi> not great but it's there
[15:24] <kim_plausible> a few years back i tried to install xubuntu on a laptop with 2 gpu's (hard to find one without them), but i couldn't even run it live
[15:24] <Sysi> depends about the machine I guess
[15:25] <SoP> kim_plausible: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM0NzE
[15:25] <SoP> Phoronix shows that it is there, but it's still not fully operational
[15:27] <kim_plausible> bumblebee works great when you first get past the os instalation
[15:27] <kim_plausible> that's what i have on my ubuntu (with xfce installed)
[15:32] <anti> So my wifi card shows up under lspci
[16:16] <mauro> hi
[17:33] <Antisober552> Hi guys how can i remove a driver from the black list
[17:45] <brainwash> Antisober552: check the config files located /etc/modprobe.d/
[17:46] <Antisober552> Ive done that and theres a p54pci blacklisted i need to un-blacklist that
[17:46] <brainwash> comment out the driver entry
[17:47] <Antisober552> Sorry
[17:49] <Antisober552> I dont inderstand
[17:51] <brainwash>  add # before that specific entry -> "#blacklist ..."
[17:52] <brainwash> this way the entry will be skipped and the driver module won't get blacklisted
[17:53] <Antisober552> Okai thx
[17:53] <brainwash> or simply delete the entry :)
[18:22] <Punna> o.o the creator of yum died.
[18:59] <Antisober552> I dont have permission to edit the config or eve delete the entry
[18:59] <Sysi> use gksudo
[18:59] <Sysi> "gksudo mousepad /etc/modprobe.d/file"
[19:00] <Antisober552> Thx
[19:02] <Antisober552> Still have no permission
[19:15] <genii> Maybe the fs is mounted ro
[20:12] <antisober552> Hi guya i stil have a permission problem so i cant edit any files in root and as i dont know the root password cand do anything anyone know around this
[20:17] <kRush> ask your sysadmin
[20:17] <Pici> antisober552: is this your computer?
[20:18] <genii> If you're booting up into recovery and having this problem it's probably the filesystem mounted read-only.
[20:18] <antisober552> :-) yes
[20:18] <antisober552> I need to edit the blacklist but i have no permission
[20:19] <Sysi> sudo mount -o remount,rw /
[20:20] <ochosi> having a system where you don't know the root password sucks anyway
[20:20] <ochosi> just saying
[20:21] <Pici> !sudo | antisober552
[20:21] <antisober552> Oh of cause i fotgot about that
[20:21] <genii> Might need - force,remount,rw   there
[20:22] <antisober552> Sudo worked
[20:30] <antisober552> Im gunna have to reload the os
[20:31] <antisober552> Got wifi back but lost graphics
[20:42] <jessejazza> Does xubuntu recognise a 3.5 ins floppy? It doesn't seem to on my machine running 12.04 LTS.
[20:43] <jessejazza> Reason being that my CD/DVD has died... so has my spare. As this is for my test machine i was thinking that i can use PLoP on the floppy to boot the USB stick. Thanks
[20:45] <genii> jessejazza: Does: lsmod | grep floppy   ..produce a result?
[20:46] <Noskcaj> jessejazza, i think it works. If you want  to install of a floppy there still is a netboot image
[20:47] <jessejazza> I will try! I'm not too technical but have used ubuntu since 2007. What i don't follow is that gfloppy seems to have been deprecated on xubuntu anyway.
[20:53] <jessejazza> Noskcaj: good point... thanks. although if one has two machines one might as well download a full iso. When i upgrade i like to do all backups and then do a clean install on each machine.
[20:58] <jessejazza> genii: i get floppy    60310      0. But it doesn't seem to boot. In ubuntu 8.04 (lkast ubuntu version i used) i remember in the file manager that it always foudn the floppy drive
[21:07] <nasir> how do i back my apps . i do not want to install them again when i format again.
[21:08] <holstein> nasir: not really an easy way of doing that... i would just make a note of what you have, and grab the configs in /home
[21:08] <nasir> back-up
[21:08] <nasir> ok
[21:08] <nasir> thanks
[21:08] <holstein> in synaptic, you can generate a list pretty easily that can be added back to synaptic
[21:09] <holstein> i like to just have a list like a command i can paste in.... "sudo apt-get install whatever whateverelse"
[21:09] <holstein> since, for me, there is a lot of "kruft" that i actually dont want to install.. i like to review what i have each time, and take a fresh install as an opportunity to do better, rather than the same
[21:10] <nasir> ok. my problem is internet here sucks and its expensive
[21:11] <holstein> nasir: there are likely other ways to go that you can use
[21:11] <nasir> ok
[21:11] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/186691/is-it-possible-to-backup-installed-software-installers
[21:12] <holstein> ^^ doenst really offer anything better though..
[21:12] <nasir> am there
[21:13] <holstein> maybe http://www.howtogeek.com/110034/how-to-back-up-restore-your-installed-ubuntu-packages-with-aptoncd/ if aptoncd still workds
[21:13] <holstein> works*
[21:14] <nasir> thanks holstein
[21:51] <frustrated> Hello, my computer is failing to boot properly, a black screen appeared with "could not write bytes: Broken pipe"
[21:54] <frustrated> What should I do?
[22:05] <frustrated> Hello, my computer is failing to boot properly, a black screen appeared with "could not write bytes: Broken pipe"
[22:14] <NotproN> i have a ubuntu that every time i log in i have to 'sudo ifup eth1', is there a way for me to make it happen at the boot? btw this interface is set as istatic at /etc/network/interfaces
[22:15] <holstein> frustrated: i would try fsck
[22:16] <holstein> frustrated: http://ubuntugeek.com/forum/index.php?topic=4651.0
[22:16] <holstein> similar suggestion at the bottom of http://askubuntu.com/questions/105857/ubuntu-11-10-not-booting-could-not-write-bytes-broken-pipes
[22:17] <holstein> basically, boot the recovery mode, make the filesystem useable, since it will be read-only at that point with mount -o remount,rw,errors=remount-ro /
[22:18] <holstein> then, dkpk-reconfigure lightdm i suggested.. though, pepperming may use slim?
[22:18] <holstein> frustrated: sorry.. xubuntu does use lightdm AFAIK

[22:49] <namespace> How do you do luks encryption in ubuntu?
[22:50] <namespace> *xubuntu
[22:50] <namespace> IIRC its in expert mode in vanilla ubuntu, but i cant get expert mode in xubuntu
[22:54] <frustrated> don't bother asking, everyones asleep ;)
[22:54] <namespace> Ah, okay.
[22:55] <namespace> More specifically what I was asking was how to do it at install.
[22:55] <namespace> But thinking about it again, I think that's actually a debian feature.
[22:59] <frustrated> xubuntu is based on ubuntu, which is based on debian
[23:09] <namespace> frustrated: The ubuntu installer will not do luks for me, and I don't want to set it up myself.
[23:10] <namespace> So there.
[23:13] <frustrated> dunno, then
[23:14] <frustrated> have to wait until someone else awakes ;)
