MrHotsauce | i just recently learned about the shift thing myself literally less then 20 hours ago | 00:01 |
Maggie | so did you have the same issue with flash after upgrading? | 00:01 |
MrHotsauce | no im having an issue with my headset after upgrade | 00:02 |
MrHotsauce | flash is a tad derpy but it works good enough for me to not bother with it | 00:02 |
Maggie | Wish I hadn't upgraded now, it boots up slower and probably should have left well enough alone. | 00:03 |
Maggie | If it isn't broke.... | 00:04 |
MrHotsauce | i tend to run the latest versions i would run the 13.10 alpha build but i dont want to reinstall my os | 00:04 |
Maggie | I am pretty new to Xubuntu, but it beats Windows for sure | 00:06 |
MrHotsauce | ive been using it since......11.10? i think | 00:08 |
Maggie | So know I know someone who might be able to help if I find myself in a jam again? | 00:11 |
MrHotsauce | i barely know anything xD i just use google alot when i have issues | 00:12 |
MrHotsauce | if you cant get help here another place to try would be #ubuntu | 00:13 |
Maggie | Cool, thanks for the info. :) | 00:17 |
Maggie | #ubuntu | 00:17 |
MrHotsauce | use /join #ubuntu | 00:17 |
MrHotsauce | with the slash | 00:18 |
Maggie | Sweet! | 00:18 |
MrHotsauce | i would reccomend using xchat the built in irc client with xubuntu | 00:18 |
Maggie | I think that is where I am at? | 00:19 |
Maggie | http://xubuntu.org/irc/ | 00:20 |
MrHotsauce | naaah | 00:20 |
MrHotsauce | thats a web client | 00:20 |
MrHotsauce | you have a built in one with xubuntu | 00:20 |
Maggie | Ok? Where would I find it? | 00:21 |
Maggie | found it | 00:21 |
MrHotsauce | it requires a little configuring but def much better then any web client | 00:22 |
Maggie | I was able to log in to ubuntu that way | 00:26 |
MrHotsauce | you can type /join #xubuntu in xchat and use xchat in here | 00:28 |
Maggie | am underscore maggie too | 00:28 |
Maggie | maggie_ | 00:28 |
MrHotsauce | you can leave the web client | 00:28 |
MrHotsauce | then in here you can do /nick Maggie | 00:29 |
MrHotsauce | to change back to normal | 00:29 |
=== maggie_ is now known as Maggie | ||
Maggie | It seemed to work. You Rock! :) | 00:30 |
MrHotsauce | mhm you can even set up xchat to auto connect to here when you open it | 00:31 |
MrHotsauce | like so http://i.imgur.com/AhR8gtQ.png | 00:31 |
Maggie | Awesome! Think I got it changed | 00:39 |
Maggie | what is minecraft? | 00:40 |
kingnick42 | Maggie, tis a game :P | 00:41 |
Maggie | Thank you Kingnick42 | 00:42 |
kingnick42 | No problem Maggie | 00:43 |
Maggie | Nick? Wondering if you are the same Nick that helped install my system back in February? | 00:43 |

xubuntu916 | Hello, I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 that shipped with Windows 8 (64 bit). I immediately formatted it and installed Xubuntu 13.04 using LUKS for everything except /boot. When I attempt to boot the system it falls back to the next available boot medium (PXE, USB, etc). I am able to do a chroot into the system after cryptsetup and mounting. Grub appears to be installed correctly. I'd appreciate any help. | 03:13 |
well_laid_lawn | !grub | 03:17 |
ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 03:17 |
well_laid_lawn | I don't know about luks sorry | 03:17 |
xubuntu916 | Alright. I wasn't sure if that was strictly a grub thing, or if something with the new secure boot/windows 8 had created different headaches for installing nix OSes. | 03:19 |
xubuntu916 | When I attempt to install Grub it says that I have no BIOS Boot Partition and its only alternative is to use blocklists (then failing). I remember seeing a BIOS option of that nature in the partitioning system and disregarding it, so I will reinstall with a few MB dedicated to that and see what happens. | 03:25 |
nerdtron | hi all! | 03:40 |
nerdtron | any good themes for xubuntu? | 04:07 |
xubuntu894 | hi | 04:08 |
xubuntu916 | For anyone else who may have the Windows 8/LUKS boot issue, the solution (for me, at least) was to reinstall adding the first partition as BIOS Boot Partition (I used 25 MB, though 5 would probably have been enough). Next I unlocked the encrypted partition and mounted the boot partition inside that, then reinstalled Grub. That seems to work, as I am typing this from the hard drive OS. | 04:23 |
jorj | hello. anyone uses xubuntu 12.04? i have an problem with xscreensaver, i think, but can not find any info about my problem. periodically stop working screen locking (xflock). reason - not running xscreensaver. it disappears from process list. i could start it manually ("xscreensaver&" at terminal or at ALT+F2 prompt). i tried ptions to be verbose and to log xscreensaver work, but no error found after process crushed. anyone knows this | 05:44 |
nerdtron | i'm using xubuntu..but i'm not using xscreensaver because it looks awful | 06:10 |
Sysi | I have heard about xscreensaver crashing when computer is locked, but not when it's on the background | 06:15 |
alfonsojon | Hi | 08:02 |
alfonsojon | I'm using Xubuntu 13.04 on the Samsung Chromebook | 08:02 |
alfonsojon | It works fine but 2D graphics acceleration is horrid | 08:03 |
alfonsojon | Even with compisiting disabled, it's lagging when I move windows. | 08:03 |
Noskcaj | alfonsojon, have you tried the proprietary drivers? | 08:04 |
alfonsojon | jockey-gtk says I have none available | 08:04 |
Noskcaj | alfonsojon, ok. maybe try the samsung website or upgrading to 13.10. i can't think of anything else sorry | 08:06 |
alfonsojon | Alright, thanks | 08:06 |
alfonsojon | Then again, Chromebooks are only meant to run Chrome OS... lol | 08:06 |
alfonsojon | wait, you think I could copy the drivers over manually somehow? | 08:06 |
alfonsojon | They are both using the same kernel | 08:07 |
Noskcaj | alfonsojon, maybe | 08:08 |
WalterN | hmm | 09:17 |

WalterN | I mean postfix | 09:17 |
WalterN | s/dovecot/postfix | 09:17 |
WalterN | anyway, should I implement all of those for spam filtering? or just one or two? | 09:18 |

xubuntu323 | Hello, Concerning: external hard drive 320GB Western Digital - When trying to open the HD and see the files, I get the message: Error when getting information for file '/media/BACKUP_WD/HP': Failed to open directory "BACKUP_WD". Error when getting information for file '/media/BACKUP_WD/HP': | 09:35 |
xubuntu323 | Failed to open directory "BACKUP_WD". Error when getting information for file '/media/BACKUP_WD/HP'--Input/output error. | 09:36 |
xubuntu323 | I am therefore unable to open the directory on this HD. It seems that the folder "HP" has a problem prohibiting the opening of the hard drive. | 09:37 |
bekks | Your conclusion is wrong. | 09:39 |
bekks | It seems that you get I/O errors when accessing the drive. So check the output of dmesg. | 09:40 |
xubuntu323 | Thanks, but what I have to look at in the dmesg output? | 09:44 |
bekks | Everything unusual. | 09:46 |
xubuntu323 | To bekks: thanks again but to many lines whose I have no clue --> I cannot find something "unusual". | 10:04 |
bekks | xubuntu323: Then pastebin the entire output. | 10:05 |
nerdtron | any errors like I/O error in dmesg? | 10:06 |
Sysi | error warning or E_ are sings of problem | 10:07 |
bekks | Sysi: E_ is pretty seldom in dmesg. E_* are programmatical error messages. | 10:10 |
bekks | xubuntu323: So are you going to pastebin the entire dmesg output? | 10:14 |
xubuntu323 | Yes, it's coming... | 10:14 |

xubuntu323 | To nerdtron: with xubuntu, I cannot access the entire drive; with win xp, I can access the drive except the folder "HP" which seems to be corrupted. | 10:21 |
bekks | xubuntu323: You have I/O errors, not corrupted folders :) | 10:21 |
bekks | xubuntu323: So are you going to pastebin the entire dmesg output? | 10:24 |
nerdtron | if it is I/O errors, it could mean a damaged hard drive. sorry but your drive could be failing already | 10:24 |
Sysi | it's backup time | 10:25 |
Sysi | you can try checking drive health with S.M.A.R.T https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools | 10:26 |
bekks | Backup time has already passed - no backup means no data worth to be kept. | 10:26 |
bekks | First, pastebin dmesg. :) | 10:26 |
xubuntu323 | bekks: sorry for the delay, I am still trying. | 10:30 |
bekks | !pastebinit | xubuntu323 | 10:31 |
ubottu | xubuntu323: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 10:31 |
bekks | xubuntu323: So will you finally pastebin the requested information after 35 minutes of waiting? If not, I can get back to others things to be done. | 10:40 |
xubuntu323 | No, sorry, it's not done because I am discovering the pastebinit system. | 10:42 |
bekks | Ok, then good luck in solving your I/O error issues. | 10:42 |
xubuntu323 | Go back to your activities. Thanks anyway. I will try later. | 10:42 |
meditator | hello, | 11:38 |

meditator | *script | 11:39 |
baizon | meditator: create a launcher which runs in terminal :) | 11:40 |
meditator | baizon, its not for a specific file.. i mean all executable files marked as executable, when i double click them, can i get an option which says "run in terminal" "Display" etc ? | 11:41 |
nerdtron | meditator: now that you say it, i remember we have that option in ubuntu | 11:42 |
baizon | meditator: something like this? http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7779 | 11:42 |

Pwnna | why is it that workspace settings doesn't have the number of rows settings? | 19:47 |
knome | Pwnna, why would it? | 19:49 |
knome | Pwnna, try checking the workspaces applet settings. | 19:49 |
Pwnna | i want to have a square like setting | 19:49 |
Pwnna | workspaces-applet? | 19:49 |
knome | right. no, that's not possible. | 19:49 |
Pwnna | but http://docs.xfce.org/_media/xfce/xfce4-panel/pager.png | 19:50 |
knome | sure. that's the applet settings. | 19:51 |
Pwnna | ohh | 19:51 |
Pwnna | i see | 19:51 |
Pwnna | ty! | 19:51 |
knome | no problem | 19:51 |
Pwnna | is it possible to add in the unity like heads up so you know which workspace you're on | 19:52 |
Pwnna | when you move between them | 19:52 |
Pwnna | just a big text in the center showing the name would be nice. | 19:52 |
Pwnna | better if we can get a grid going. | 19:52 |
Pwnna | (which project is this? I can probably help implement that) | 19:52 |
knome | no, i don't think so, but afaik the workspace applet shows you which one that is | 19:52 |
knome | i'd imagine it's something in xfdesktop (but don't take my word for it) | 19:53 |
Pwnna | it's better UX if we showed a big thing like unity. | 19:53 |
Pwnna | should be /relatively/ easy to implement | 19:53 |
knome | technically might be that, socially can be different | 19:54 |
Pwnna | turn it off by default | 19:54 |
knome | it's still more codebase which is sometimes unwanted | 19:55 |
bgardner | knome: +1 | 19:55 |
Pwnna | i feel like it is a good feature to have. | 19:55 |
knome | however, this is getting offtopic for this channel; i'd recommend asking in #xfce-dev | 19:55 |
knome | Pwnna, sure. that's one for the feature. i'm pretty sure you'll find at least 2 developers against it (not to discourage, but to keep things realistic...) | 19:56 |
Pwnna | why would people be against that feature? | 19:56 |
Pwnna | but okay | 19:56 |
