[00:00] <ripplebit> im relagt5ivelhy6 new gt5o linux, so assumed gt5hy6agt5 igt5 would be like windows in gt5hy6agt5 regt5ard
[00:01] <holstein> ripplebit: assume nothing
[00:02] <ripplebit> ok im gt5egt5gt5ingt5 an error sahy6ingt5 /dev/sda congt5ains gt5pgt5 gpt signitures and i can'[-gt5 close igt5
[00:02] <ripplebit> from archy6 insgt5all
[00:02] <SonikkuAmerica> ripplebit: Now I thy6ink hy6ou'll hy6anve gt5o fix hy6our kehy6board.
[00:02] <holstein> ripplebit: i cant read what you are typing, friend
[00:03] <bazhang> ripplebit, please type normally
[00:03] <GridCube> so many gt5
[00:03]  * SonikkuAmerica beat his youth group leader in a Fiat 500 against a Dale Jr. car in GT5, but that's a story for -offtopic
[00:03] <ripplebit> sorry my laptop keyboard is fucked. im getting a popup warning saying /dev/sda contains GPT signitures (from the arch install) and i can't close or get rid of it.
[00:04] <bazhang> ripplebit, no cursing here please
[00:04] <ripplebit> apologies
[00:05] <ripplebit> i am a connoisseur of the english language
[00:06] <holstein> ripplebit: you are booting a disk instead of the USB
[00:06] <SonikkuAmerica> ripplebit: Not to mention your Arch prob didn't set up a fake MS-DOS partition table.
[00:07] <ripplebit> im usingt5 da usb. and i did sed up a gpt partition on archy6
[00:09] <utusan> is there an image viewer for xcfce?
[00:09] <utusan> xfce*
[00:25] <Kaira-> has anyone here installed 13.04 alongside Win 8 with legacy bios? I try to do it via live-USB but when installing the installation program doesn't detect the windows partition
[00:27] <GridCube> Kaira-, if it doesnt then i would try to do a partition job from windows first, using some good free partition manager, and then reboot to see that there is an empty partition there
[00:28] <GridCube> then i would install xubuntu to that partition and then add the entry for win8 in the grub configs
[00:28] <Kaira-> GridCube: I've shrunk the windows partition so that I have around 70Gb free partition, but when trying to install the program just shows the whole HDD as free partition
[00:29] <GridCube> thats wrong
[00:29] <GridCube> regardless of the OS installed, thats wrong
[00:29] <GridCube> see if another liveISO says the same
[00:30] <Kaira-> alright, I'll try some other ISOs as soon as I can just download 'em
[00:55] <tigrang> If I enable "Disable touchpad while typing" it takes about 2 seconds for the touchpad to become usable again after typing. Can I decrease this delay?
[00:55] <holstein> tigrang: no
[00:56] <holstein> tigrang: AFAIK, that will be depending on your hardware
[00:59] <tigrang> holstein, thanks, that at least lead me to the correct place, I see where it is set syndaemon -i 2.0, just need to figure where thats configured now
[01:00] <tigrang> ^ thats a running process
[01:01] <GridCube> unless you use synaptics
[01:01] <GridCube> !info synaptics
[01:01] <GridCube> wait
[01:02] <GridCube> !search synaptics
[01:02] <GridCube> !synaptics
[01:04] <GridCube> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Disable_Trackpad_while_Typing
[01:07] <tigrang> was going to try running syndaemon in startup applications my own config values, I'll try ~/.xinitrc like that says
[01:07] <tigrang> logging/out in
[01:18] <tigrang> I unchcked Disable touchpad while typing and used Startup Applications to add syndaemon -i 0.5 which worked
[01:19] <tigrang> 2 seconds is way too long, sucks its default and no gui config for it, oh well, thanks guys
[02:48] <ThOr101> Yeah, freeNX and nomachine don't really work as I'd expect them to.
[02:49] <ThOr101> It looked like a good option, but in the end, not so much.
[02:49] <holstein> well, then you have no option
[02:49] <holstein> vnc is *much* slower
[02:49] <holstein> forwarding X might work
[02:49] <ThOr101> Yeah, it is.  I can't believe I'm running into original errors though.
[02:49] <Unit193> FreeNX seemes nice, but no been committed to in a while.  VNC will be faster than forwarded X.
[02:50] <holstein> thinlinc was actually quite nice, an easy to setup
[02:50] <ThOr101> Ya know, I actually didn't try that one yet.
[02:51] <ThOr101> The issue I'm running into is that I'm deploying this into the AWS cloud
[02:51] <ThOr101> and all these systems assume that X is running, and it won't since there is no video subsystem with which to configure a "screen"
[02:51] <holstein> ThOr101: i wouldnt do any of these not on my local an
[02:52] <holstein> ThOr101: i have thinlinc running without X on the server
[02:52] <holstein> i installed XFCE4
[02:52] <ThOr101> Yeah, that's what I was hoping for.
[02:52] <xubuntu803> Just got xubuntu, its amazing
[02:52] <holstein> ThOr101: i dont remember testing it that way in the others
[02:53] <holstein> vnc is out, AFAIK
[02:53] <holstein> you would need to be running a desktop to remote into it
[02:53] <ThOr101> The new nomachine stuff (4 beta) actually looks pretty slick.  Doesn't work, the documentation is atrocious, but the program looks slick.
[02:53] <Unit193> I think tightvncserver was the one that started it's own X.
[02:54] <ThOr101> vnc4 (or something like that) did too.
[02:54] <xubuntu803> Just got xubuntu, its really treading me well so far.
[02:54] <ThOr101> It wasn't until I started the vncserver (which I guess made a fake X system) did the nomachine work.
[02:54] <holstein> xubuntu803: congrats
[02:54] <Unit193> holstein: vnc over SSH is secure though, otherwise I agree with you as LAN only.
[02:54] <ThOr101> Oh, yeah, I've been doing it over SSH.
[02:55] <ThOr101> To the AWS cloud, it really wasn't too bad.
[02:55] <ThOr101> Then again, the east coast AWS cloud is a few miles up the street, so YMMV
[02:55] <Unit193> Hah, awesome.
[02:56] <ThOr101> I haven't done a traceroute, but I bet it gets routed through New York, Copenhagen and Brazil, just because that's how things seem to be peered these days.
[08:02] <HypothesisFrog> Hi. I started a transfer across two computers via samba a couple of days ago, using Thunar file manager. I canceled. It still appears to be in the process of cancelling, two days later.
[08:38] <well_laid_lawn> HypothesisFrog:  where does it show up?
[08:38] <well_laid_lawn> in a thunbar dialog window?
[08:38] <well_laid_lawn> s/nb/n/
[08:41] <HypothesisFrog> well_laid_lawn well in a dialog window. I did click the [x] to make it go away, but all that does is minimize it to the notification area.
[08:43] <HypothesisFrog> is it an xfce desktop error? Or a screw up with samba?
[08:43] <well_laid_lawn> HypothesisFrog:  I'd check in top to see if there's something there and if not   pkill thunar
[08:45] <HypothesisFrog> well_laid_lawn well there is something there. The reason I cancelled the process originally, is because it stalled. I then transfered the files by sftp instead, and that worked. Didn't realise that Thunar was still cancelling anyway.
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> try the pkill and see if the dialog window goes
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> it musn't be doing anything after all this time
[08:46] <HypothesisFrog> ps ax |grep thunar yields no results. weird. How do I kill it?
[08:47] <HypothesisFrog> ah, it's capital T
[08:47] <well_laid_lawn> grep -i   is handy at times
[08:56] <berryciderspider> guys i've just got a new desktop (Radeon 7750, AMD FX), didn't come with an os so i installed ubuntu, tried to run TF2 and im getting glitched output (semi repeating sound, really laggy graphics. I assume this is due to the graphics card (driver issue)?, although im not certain. The pc came with an amd driver, but it seems to be for windows (exe). What are you thoughts?
[08:57] <JohnRobe1t> could be soundcard
[08:59] <berryciderspider> JohnRobe1t: would that cause the screen to lag?
[08:59] <JohnRobert> could do I guess
[08:59] <JohnRobert> could be a number of things
[09:01] <well_laid_lawn> !ati
[09:01] <well_laid_lawn> berryciderspider:  ↑
[09:03] <berryciderspider> thanks guys
[09:04] <well_laid_lawn> cheers

[11:00] <bogu> hello
[11:00] <bogu> I am installing xubuntu and it says best results are achieved being connected to the internet during install
[11:00] <bogu> the laptop should be connected, but it says it isn't
[11:00] <bogu> any way to connect to a network during install, since it doesn't automatically?
[11:01] <well_laid_lawn> are you using wifi or ethernet ?
[11:01] <bogu> wifi
[11:02] <well_laid_lawn> have you opened the network settings icon at the top right and set it up ?
[11:02] <bogu> I saw it pop up at the start but I didn't think I would need it; I can't see it now, how could I access it?
[11:02] <well_laid_lawn> is there a network icon at the top right of the screen ?
[11:03] <baizon> bogu: in the starting menu entry go to "try ..." not install
[11:03] <baizon> then you'll get a fully xubuntu desktop where you can configure your wifi
[11:03] <bogu> OK, thanks
[11:03] <baizon> then hit the install icon
[11:03] <baizon> and you will have internet connectivity
[11:03] <well_laid_lawn> I keep forgetting about that
[11:10] <nikolam> I like more NOT having internet connection during install. That way it has more chance of actually finishing install like it is tested before release.
[11:10] <nikolam> After that I update, and if you are lucky to install on BTRFS root, then previous configuration before update will be there.
[11:11] <bogu> I am a real beginner, so I'm afraid I'll have to do something complicated after the install or I'm missing out
[11:11] <nikolam> don't worry bogu it will propmpt you automatically for updates, once you get online after installing.
[11:12] <nikolam> help.ubuntu.com and ubuntuforums are your friends :P
[11:13] <baizon> bogu: nothing will happen without internet connectivity. Don't worry :)
[12:36] <xubuntu258> How i put Xubuntu.iso? CD or DVD?
[12:37] <knome> xubuntu258, if it's 13.04, you'll need to use a DVD or a USB device
[12:37] <knome> xubuntu258, older ones will fit in standard CD's; this is in the release notes
[12:38] <xubuntu258> i put it on DVD, mofied Boot start and not work
[12:39] <xubuntu258> modified*
[12:40] <knome> ok.
[12:40]  * knome continues working on other things.
[14:00] <seriously_random> how to participate @ https://friendly.ubuntu.com/participate/
[14:27] <knome> seriously_random, follow the 7 steps mentioned on the website.
[17:00] <jimmyjam> anyone know how to install drivers for my HD 7750?
[17:05] <TheSheep> jimmyjam: intel?
[17:05] <jimmyjam> amd FX4100
[18:26] <xubuntu968> hello, i feel very sorry for asking this stupid question and i must ask you to excuse me for taking your time. I skipped the wifi connection stage in the installation interface o xubuntu, and i know see myself unable to find a way to connect myself to a wifi conenction. the network parameters only allow me to create a network and do not show me which are the wifi available connections. is there something i am missing?
[18:32] <xubuntu968> noone?
[18:46] <GridCube> xubuntu968, it should autoconnect
[18:46] <GridCube> xubuntu968, see that you have wifi enabled on your keyboard thingy
[18:46] <xubuntu968> i don't have any keybord touch, it is a macbook
[18:46] <GridCube> fn-[wifi icon] usually enables wifi
[18:47] <GridCube> or maybe theres a switch somewhere that turns the wifi on
[18:48] <xubuntu968> there is no mechanical mechanism on macbook pros to turn on/off wifi... i guess it is supposed to be systematically activated
[18:48] <GridCube> mmm
[18:49] <GridCube> near the sound icon you should have a network icon, there you should see if the wifi can be enabled
[18:50] <xubuntu968> well thats the problem
[18:50] <xubuntu968> it only shows "ethernet network disconnected" and proposes to modify it
[18:51] <xubuntu968> (+activate desactivate and create a vpn connection)
[18:53] <brainwash> xubuntu968: maybe some special firmware/driver is required for your wifi module to operate properly, can you provide some more details about your macbook?
[18:53] <GridCube> xubuntu968, try this on a terminal: nmcli nm wifi on
[18:54] <xubuntu968> its a macbook pro 13p.
[18:54] <xubuntu968> gridcube: i just did
[18:54] <GridCube> what does it says?
[18:54] <xubuntu968> nothing
[18:54] <GridCube> and wifi still no ON?
[18:55] <xubuntu968> yes..
[18:55] <xubuntu968> (i guess because it doesn't show anywhere, nor activated nor unactivated...)
[18:55] <GridCube> i've found that to be a bug in my case where after dissabling wifi i need to reboot to get the wifi on again
[18:56] <xubuntu968> after the command line you mean?
[18:56] <GridCube> xubuntu968, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1970227&p=11895284#post11895284
[18:57] <GridCube> see that
[18:58] <xubuntu968> the problem is that these instructions need an internet connexion to be executed...
[18:59] <GridCube> cable it?
[19:04] <xubuntu968> one sec
[19:06] <xubuntu968> not working
[19:06] <xubuntu968> ...
[19:09] <xubuntu968> this is specially weird since in my install interface it did found wifi networks and proposed to connect, i just accidentaly skiped this phase
[19:11] <xubuntu968> HA I found the solution _
[19:11] <xubuntu968> had to go to parameters, sofware and updates, then "additional drivers" and acivate the corresponding driver.
[19:12] <xubuntu968> thank you for your help, sorry for the mess
[20:40] <xubuntu527> hello i am a  user facing a problem of installation. the install goes perfectly but when it has to reboot, the computer goes directly to macOS without asking if to choose mac or xubuntu
[20:41] <SonikkuAmerica> xubuntu527: Hit the Option key when it boots up.
[20:41] <xubuntu527> it only proposes me to go on my #mac os drive# or to the EFI if i have left the usb installer
[20:42] <SonikkuAmerica> Head for the EFI then. (You *did* use an amd64+mac image, right?)
[20:43] <xubuntu527> yes. well when i go there they propose me to reinstall or delete or delete plus reinstall xubuntu again..
[20:43] <xubuntu527> or to run it without installing it, which is what ive just did.
[20:44] <Sysi> when I installed xubuntu on mac I got to xubuntu without asking, I had to press opt to be able to select os x
[20:44] <Sysi> you might want to ask #ubuntu
[20:45] <Sysi> oh right, shut down instead of rebooting
[20:45] <xubuntu527> i installed it on both macs at the same time. one is running perfectly (except driver problems) and asks me at every boot to choose between ubuntu or macos. not the other
[21:17] <xubuntu580> hi
[21:17] <xubuntu580> i have problems at install LAMP in my pc
[21:18] <xubuntu580> Can you help me?
[23:47] <Golfgeo> Hi guy's, got a grub problem... Eventhough I've held down the [shift] key during boot I cannot see any boot options to select... Trying to use an older kernel I have installed... Unsure about the /etc/default/grub options I should change to force a timeout and and menu showing
[23:59] <krytarik> Golfgeo: Can you please post your current config on a pastebin?
