| alubuntuuser | Does anyone know how to watch fullscreen videos on a second monitor? I have arandr | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Vivekananda | anyone here | 00:41 |
| ianorlin | !ask | 00:48 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 00:48 |
| Vivekananda | ianorlin: hey do you know | 01:26 |
| ianorlin | can you paste link again? | 01:35 |
| ianorlin | oh I don't know that and tried to look for an answer and did not find it | 01:36 |
| Vivekananda | ianorlin: sorry yes I can post again. I am trying to run a cronjob but it is not executing | 01:37 |
| Vivekananda | here is the link --- | 01:37 |
| Vivekananda | http://pastebin.com/bZ4nr8eZ | 01:38 |
| Unit193 | OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/home/varun/.gnome/gnome-schedule/crontab/last_id' chown needs root, gksudo | 01:38 |
| Unit193 | !gksu | 01:38 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 01:38 |
| Vivekananda | ianorlin: ? | 01:40 |
| Vivekananda | I dont understand what Unit193 and ubottu posted :) the bots I mean | 01:40 |
| Unit193 | Welp, guess I'm not human... | 01:40 |
| ianorlin | I think he means gksudo gnome-schedule | 01:42 |
| Unit193 | Your second paste has that script running every minute of every hour of every day... | 01:42 |
| Unit193 | ianorlin: Well, that is to say whatever error message he got indicated he needed it to chown something, but crontab is a user section that doesn't need root. | 01:43 |
| Vivekananda | Unit193: could you please tell me what I need to write so that a file called foo.py located in folder bar can be run once every min using cron | 01:48 |
| Vivekananda | I can run it on command line by doing foo/./a.py | 01:49 |
| Unit193 | vartop CRON[8107]: (CRON) info (No MTA installed, discarding output) seems there's some output you should read? Try redirecting it to a file, and see what's up. | 01:50 |
| Vivekananda | okay let me try | 01:51 |
| Vivekananda | I see no output Unit193 | 01:54 |
| Vivekananda | why is running a simple cron job so difficult | 01:54 |
| ganjika | how do i disable a touchpad on my notebook running 12.04? | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | !touchpad | 02:17 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 02:17 |
| Unit193 | (Though, 12.04 isn't an LTS for Lubuntu.) | 02:18 |
| holstein | or the bios | 02:45 |
| ganjika | none me GoG.com games work with wine so far (in order i tested dragonsphere then strike suit zero) | 02:50 |
| Lieutenant | make sure you are using the right wine version | 02:51 |
| ganjika | oh? | 02:51 |
| Unit193 | !appdb | 02:51 |
| ubottu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 02:51 |
| ganjika | you mean i have to shuffle about 1.2, 1.4 etc.? | 02:52 |
| Lieutenant | yeah | 02:52 |
| Lieutenant | don't use the latest version of wine typically because it is newer and less testing has been conducted | 02:52 |
| ganjika | it let me install .2.3 & .4 :D | 02:52 |
| Lieutenant | usually 1.5 version is good | 02:52 |
| Unit193 | (I just use one version.) | 02:52 |
| ganjika | i think | 02:52 |

| Araneidae | How do I set up a printer on lubuntu? System Tools -> Printer has the relevant buttons greyed out. | 14:59 |
| Araneidae | Presumably I'm missing some software? | 14:59 |
| holstein | Araneidae: that GUI works for me.. you cant add from that menu? | 15:02 |
| Araneidae | No, it just says: "Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another server." | 15:03 |
| Araneidae | Unfortunately, the "Start Service" button is greyed out. | 15:03 |
| holstein | !printing | 15:03 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 15:03 |
| Araneidae | I'm guessing that cups isn't installed! | 15:03 |
| holstein | ^^ that should be relevant to lubuntu.. and i wouldnt "guess".. i would look in a package manager and dont assume anything | 15:04 |
| Araneidae | Hmm. Well, it *is* installed | 15:04 |
| holstein | Araneidae: could be user permissions... could be some other component... | 15:05 |
| Araneidae | I can't connect to port 631 | 15:05 |
| Araneidae | It's stopped, not started | 15:06 |
| Araneidae | Must mean there's a config file I need to edit first | 15:06 |
| holstein | not for me.. | 15:06 |
| Araneidae | /var/log/cups/ is empty | 15:07 |
| holstein | Araneidae: might be relevant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139407 | 15:08 |
| phillw | Araneidae: does | 15:08 |
| phillw | ps -ef | grep cups | 15:08 |
| phillw | show a running instance of cups? | 15:08 |
| Araneidae | Oooh: didn't know about /etc/init -- is that where upstart does its stuff? | 15:08 |
| Araneidae | Nope, not a thing | 15:09 |
| Araneidae | Looks like it's the missing avahi-daemon problem | 15:10 |
| Araneidae | Which version of lubuntu are you running holstein ? I'm 13.04, quite a recent install | 15:10 |
| holstein | Araneidae: neither are in front of me right now.. but i have tested in 13.04.. there are relevant entries in that forum post i linked | 15:11 |
| Araneidae | Yes, and they say that there's a bogus(?) dependency on avahi-daemon which isn't installed | 15:11 |
| Araneidae | haven't read the whole thread yet | 15:12 |
| Araneidae | Yep. Install avahi-daemon and magically CUPS is going again. holstein, thanks very much for the link | 15:15 |
| holstein | Araneidae: enjoy! | 15:20 |
| Araneidae | Well, I'm not home yet | 15:21 |
| Araneidae | On another machine this printer is configured as "Samsung CLX-3175 Foomatic/foo2qpdl" and works | 15:21 |
| Araneidae | On this machine I don't have that option, installed CLX-3300 as recommended, but it failed to print, so obviously the wrong driver | 15:22 |
| holstein | Araneidae: you can get the other driver, or sometimes i force other drivers til something works | 15:22 |
| Araneidae | Yes, I just need to figure out which package the other driver is in, it's not installed at the moment | 15:23 |
| Araneidae | It's printer-driver-foo2zjs | 15:24 |
| Araneidae | :D | 15:26 |
