[00:03] XRS1, yeah the end result sounds the same. I have no idea if it's related to right-clicking or not. [00:04] well im stumbed. you might try the forums, or stick around and see if some one else knows [00:04] * theixle nods [00:04] Thanks for your help. [00:13] Hello [00:23] Good evening...

SylvaniaBT device... connected and paired and can control Audicious ... For the next track and previous track fine but doesn't send audio to device.... ? Any ideas? [00:40] hey yall [00:41] looking for a little help trying to install Slic3r on Xubuntu [00:51] or just installing a tar.bz app in general i suppose [01:08] goodeness, are you aware of tar usage? [01:08] tar -xfv for example [01:10] any one.? [01:14] holy crap, sorry didnt see notifications! [01:15] um i have extracted the files to a folder [01:15] 11 [01:17] 11 what ? [01:17] dude was just reading that 8+3 and wanted to be human [01:18] haha [01:18] ok [01:18] i havent really used irc since the mid 90s [01:18] same here [01:18] remember geocities? [01:18] yes, of course [01:19] wait, even better. secret of monkey island? [01:19] I used to have a .tk "domain" that pointed to my geocities [01:19] lol nice [01:21] so anywho, installing a extracted tar.gz? [01:21] what extracted files do you have? [01:22] probably you will have to follow a INSTALL file or just make and make install [01:23] yeah, did i mention i have not a clue. so far i have followed these instructions [01:23] https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/wiki/Running-Slic3r-from-git-on-GNU-Linux [01:23] to really big error msgs, so they told me im doing it the hard way and ned to dl the tar.gz [01:23] did that, extracted it. [01:24] link to the tar? [01:24] pls [01:24] no files in slicer folder, there is a install file in the bin folder [01:24] but bear with me and dont laugh to hard [01:25] what cmd to open it. i assume i need to run it in terminal [01:25] i have a do-install that says its a excutable [01:26] please post the link you used to download the tar file [01:26] ok one sec. [01:26] http://dl.slic3r.org/linux/ [01:27] this is my slicing software for my 3d printer [01:31] go to the bin directory [01:31] the one extracted [01:31] try ./do-install [01:31] all in command line, of course [01:33] ok [01:34] goode@GoodeToshiba:~/Downloads/Slic3r/bin$ ./do-install [01:34] Fatal Error: Installer Error : The installer cannot find the application binaries to extract. at /home/goode/Downloads/Slic3r/lib/std/cavaexecscript/cpwxinstaller.pl line 1572 [01:34] Aborted (core dumped) [01:35] strange, I don't have that cavaexecscript in my std folder [01:35] did you get 32 or 64 bit? [01:35] 32 [01:35] me too [01:36] std folder? [01:36] yes [01:36] ah [01:36] /home/myusername/Downloads/Slic3r/lib/std [01:36] yeah me either [01:36] I only have Mozilla and XML folders [01:36] :/ [01:36] me to [01:36] maybe it is an error in their installer [01:37] well thats not near as bad as the ridiculous errors i get liek 80% through a 30min install of the sudo get [01:38] do you get that error to? [01:38] i didn't try to run the installer myself [01:38] there is anoter executable inside the bin folder, maybe try ./silc3r [01:38] it is inside the bin folder [01:39] http://manual.slic3r.org/GettingSlic3r.html#installing [01:39] holy shit, you the man [01:39] if you see in their manual, we are trying the correct steps [01:40] it would be a good idea to read their wiki and manual, maybe you will not be able to use it fully without a proper installation [01:40] ok well, i jumped straight to building from source which for some reason seemed less confusing to me than this? wtf right? [01:40] man, im using the software daily, on windows [01:41] okay [01:41] just FYI [01:41] I downloaded the 64 bit package [01:41] there is no do-install [01:41] just the slic3r executable [01:42] so maybe that is the correct way to run it for now, go to bin folder and do ./slic3r [01:42] did it work for you? [01:42] i have a 3d printer and i need this and pronterface running to do it and i restored a old laptop out of my graveyard to be a print server for my printer for a craft show im going to so i didnt have to lug my tower and im trying to get more open source on everything. i very much appreciate your help even if it was because im slow lol [01:42] yes i got the setup screen! [01:43] nice! [01:43] ive been using this on windows for like 3 months now [01:43] so keep in mind that the build team maybe mixed things, the 64bit package is ok and the 32bit contains an old do-install that doesn't work [01:44] usefull but im about to run raspberry Pi running ocotpi as the os and remote access only [01:44] also, everytime you want to execute an (guess what) executable, just use ./ [01:45] some installers come with executables that don't have the execute attribute set, then you have to (before running it) do chmod +x filenamehere [01:45] dammit, well it works so i will do what i do then. almost went over to fedora 19 because the claim they have 3d printing support built in but i know that means ramps and ardunio drivers installed lol [01:45] then ./filenamehere [01:45] ok [01:45] lol [01:45] I wish you good luck [01:45] and keep learning linux, it is fun when you have the time to spare [01:45] yeah thats what i was getting into with the other sudo stuff. well man, thank you so much rosemball [01:46] you are welcome [01:46] hopefully one day i can contribute myself. once again thanks and i gotta go! [01:47] ok [01:47] bye [01:47] good luck [02:14] how can I turn off firefox "recovering windows and tabs"? [02:15] I have the setting 'when firefox starts.. show home page' [02:15] but every time after reboot I get the message Well this is embarrasing. [02:15] which version? [02:15] of firefox [02:16] 23.0 [02:16] well, I'm getting a lot of these in my work computer too [02:16] try this [02:16] open ffox, type about:config [02:16] accept the warning [02:16] search for sessionstore [02:17] there must be something related to crash or resume [02:17] if it is set to true, double click it to set to false [02:17] restart firefox, see if the error persists [02:20] ok lets see now! [02:28] how can I completely turn off the session saving stuff? [02:28] It's one thing to open thunderbird and pidgin when I log in [02:28] but it's also messing with stuff like geany colorschemes [02:29] and firefox browsing history [02:29] that's ultra undesireable [02:32] and of course "session and startup" has no hints about this === rosemball is now known as rosemball_ [03:37] ok now installing xubuntu...........should i get excited yet?? [03:39] Depends, do these things excite you? [03:40] yeah [03:42] surprised this was an option during instal [03:42] actually excited to get back in ubuntu. In a windows admin training course and I miss the hell out of full time linux [03:43] You can always (install and) play frozen bubble while you wait. [03:45] will do [06:33] hi am 1st timer to linux.... n its Xubuntu after my 14yrs with windows [06:37] im facing wifi problem .. its losing connection though it shows connected [06:40] see what the dmesg command says on a terminal [06:41] my lapto pis hp 1000 1b02au AMD laptop ... installed xubuntu 13.04 [11:18] I can't open any photos or videos that were taken using my phone [11:18] or rather, I can't open them in the folder that is on the phone [11:18] I have to first copy them over to my computer before being able to view them [11:20] which phone? [11:24] samsung s3 [11:26] have you installed MTP support? [11:26] nope [11:27] or at least I don't know what it is. [11:27] try mtp-tools [13:55] Anyone using Gala as WM with XFCE who knows how to change the WM-theme? :) [15:22] Is there a way to check if the harddrive is working properly? [15:23] !fsck [15:23] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:23] ata3.00 failed command read fpdma queued happens after i put in an sd card.even after pulling it out, restarts return all kinds of errors [15:24] Doesn't sound hopeful. [15:24] I'm just not sure what the sd card slot would have to do with the HDD [15:25] I've got it booted into a bootCD atm [15:26] I'd probably check if SMART monitoring is turned on in BIOS and see if it tells you something pre-boot. [15:27] ( Usually to the effect of: "Your hard drive is reporting errors, you may want to backup your data and replace the drive" ) [15:33] Yerp, it failed >.< [15:35] Unfortunate, but now at least you know the cause. I'd probably yank it out, put another and install to that, then try hook the original up with an external case and do some data recovery on it. [16:41] hello [16:41] somebody speaks spanish here [16:41] !es | juanirungaray [16:41] juanirungaray: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [16:41] i have one question about the instalation of my xubuntu [16:42] :) ask juanirungaray [16:42] i have the iso in my dvd [16:43] and the dvd dont have a autorun [16:43] or something like that [16:43] juanirungaray, :) podes pasarte por favor a #ubuntu-es asi podes preguntar tranquilo? [16:43] i reboot my pc with the dvd inside and dont enter to menu [16:44] ok [16:44] :D [19:27] what's the general experience with MSI notebooks and Linux? would anyone recommend against it? (i was looking at MSI GP60-i740M245FD for example) [20:15] hey gys [20:15] hello [20:40] can someone help me with a script [20:41] !someone | dre_ [20:41] dre_: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [20:43] ubottu i need help a script [20:43] dre_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:44] dre_, please start with telling us some details - what's the problem? [20:44] ok [20:45] i have a tvheadend backend for my tv clients i found a script to make it auto off when not inuse by clients but i dont know how to make it work [20:46] i hve tried but still not working [20:46] i am a nobe to this [20:47] i know a little about linux [20:48] this is the link to the script [20:48] https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/4782?page=1&r=9349 [20:49] i would ask the forum first, since they have experiences with that particular script [20:49] i did but no one answered [20:50] how to check if a script is working on ubuntu [20:50] forums/boards aren't live, it can take some days to get an answer [20:50] ok [20:50] According to their website, they also host the #hts channel here. Try there and see if they are active. [20:51] dre_, that was for you. [20:51] i did but no one answer [20:51] (also try being more exact; "still not working" isn't helpful with debugging) [20:52] i did what the direction said to do but it didnt turn off the server [20:52] how to debug a script [20:52] hello, Im on Fedora and I want to boot xubuntu from a usb drive, dd and usb-creator doesn't work for me [20:53] dre_, do you know how to turn the server off manually, without the script? [20:53] yes [20:54] if the script doesn't show an error message when it tries to shut off the server, i'd see if the scripts command to turn off the server is correct [20:54] anyone successfully booted xubuntu from usb ? [20:55] xbuntu672 use unetbootin to make a bootable ubuntu live usb drive [20:55] xubuntu672, have you checked if the ISO you have downloaded matches the MD5 sums? [20:56] knome: I tried. but no [20:56] xubuntu672, it doesn't match? then your ISO file is faulty; download again [20:57] knome: wait i'll md5 check [20:57] xubuntu672, usb-creator has worked for me and others have confirmed that dd works as well [20:57] Unit193, do you have some insight? [20:57] knome: Wut? [20:58] Unit193, see xubuntu672's problem [20:58] xubuntu672, what exactly is wrong? [20:58] (I was.) [20:58] you might not boot into it automatically... [20:58] try pressing F12 when starting up [20:58] and choose the USB device [20:59] to be more generic, check is USB is bootable and if it is, make sure it's on top of the booting priority list in BIOS, or if not, see how you can specifically change the booting order for one boot [20:59] xubuntu672: Alright, so to start, md5sum, then fdisk -l xubuntu-whatever-theiso-is.iso and see if it contains a partition. You trying a newer version I'd assume? [20:59] Maple__: I downloaded the torrent, tried dd and unetbootin but my usb drive don't boot [21:00] xubuntu672, yeah [21:00] Aha, well then yeah, I'd check the BIOS and see if it supports it, if not, plop. [21:00] F12 should show bootable devices [21:00] but yeah, first check MD5 sums and so. [21:00] on your BIOS [21:00] Maple__, or any other abitrary key, depending on the BIOS [21:00] arbitrary too [21:00] knome: Don't need to with torrent. [21:00] y [21:01] Unit193, i suppose it depends if the client has error detection [21:01] as Unit193 said it a torrent it should be okay [21:02] it's * [21:02] knome: If it doesn't, then it doesn't properly support the protocol and should be removed from earth. :D [21:02] ;)= [21:03] Maple__: im make sure to boot from usb. but no success. [21:04] Maple__: I have trouble running usb-creator on Fedora, the application is for ubuntu [21:04] xubuntu672: So, not UEFI, and it's booted others fine? [21:05] Unit193: I booted arch before [21:05] Unit193: with dd [21:06] Of course. Still haven't seen which version you're goign for, though. [21:07] Unit193: which version of what ? [21:07] Xubuntu, Ubuntu added hybrid not too long ago. [21:09] Unit193: this iso http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/raring/release/desktop/xubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent [21:11] Welp, that should be the exact one you're looking for, supporting hybrid/dd of course. [21:32] im not making progress [21:33] I really want to try xubuntu [21:34] xubuntu672: Well, other options are, do you have virtualbox? And, does Fedora have grml-rescueboot in the repos? [21:35] Unit193: what is grml-rescueboot ? [21:35] It takes ISOs in /boot/grml/ and adds them to the grub menu. [21:36] Unit193: Im looking for it [21:36] hi. why should I use xubuntu if can install ubuntu base system and then just install xfce4-goodies package? yes I undestand xubuntu is xfce outta the box. [21:37] Xubuntu isn't Xfce right out of the box, it has different application choices, themes, and configuration. [21:38] Unit193: there is no grml-rescueboot on the repos [21:38] ok, thanks. is xubuntu faster than ubuntu base + xfce? [21:38] xubuntu672: Pity. So when you dd the image, what's the fdisk output on it? [21:39] Unit193: I'll do it again [21:40] eimis: Also, Xfce by itself may be lighter, but not as nice or easy to use, I'd say. [21:40] You can try core+xubuntu-desktop, but that doesn't quite get the same thing as if you were to install from livecd. [21:41] xubuntu672: Everything looks good from here, I don't see why it shouldn't be working. I'm guessing you know to dd it to /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1 too. [21:41] Unit193: yep [21:45] ATM I'm running ubuntu core + xfce4-goodies and it's great. I've got a noob question that's been annoying me for a while. How do I direct my messages to a specifi user? "UserName: blah blah" [21:46] In IRC? ei is what I use. [21:46] !tab [21:46] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:47] Unit193, oh like this. Thanks! [22:07] im back [22:08] Workin'? [22:08] Unit193: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/39237/ [22:08] u [22:08] Unit193: does it looks fine ? [22:09] http://paste.openstack.org/show/46934/ looks like it's supposed to. [22:11] rebooting [22:11] Could also try qemu and see if that likes it. [22:11] qemu+USB device. === xubuntu is now known as Guest27677 === Guest27677 is now known as xubuntu267 [22:19] Unit193, its working now :> [22:19] Woo! \o/ What fixed it anywho? [22:20] Unit193, no idea, I just formatted and did the dd again [22:20] Is there a convenient way to select default pulseaudio device besides doing pacmd set-default-sink xxxxxxxx? [22:21] eimis: Pavucontrol doesn't take care of it? I think I use padevchooser for that though. [22:23] Unit193: I don't have any of those installed, apparently. Thanks, will try Pavucontrol. [22:24] What version are you on? pavucontrol was default, I'm sure. [22:27] Unit193: I'm on ubuntu 13.04 base + xfce4. I built this system from the minimal iso so I don't have some "default" packages. I've been living for a few years with this annoyance: let's say I copy some text from a window, close it and then my clipboard is empty. how do I disable this feature? [22:28] Install/run a (basic) clipboard manager. [22:36] Unit193, Im getting "failed to execute default terminal emulator, I/O error" :/ [22:36] when trying to open the terminal [22:38] Unit193, forget about it, nothing works [22:39] can't start anything [22:39] Welp... [22:39] what's happing ? [22:40] Erm, have enough ram? [22:40] 3 gb [22:41] how can I see the logs ? [22:42] Unit193, 16% ram in use [22:42] xubuntu267: ctrl+f1 and login as user, run dmesg [22:46] User is xubuntu, password should be blank. [22:46] bekks, yeah there is some read errors [22:47] SQUASHFS [22:48] So only the compressed filesystem, alrighty. >_< [22:49] Is it something to do with the flash drive ? [22:52] That'd be my thought, but I'll deffer to bekks because it'd be a good idea.
