[00:00] <ruien> good night
[02:09] <Psil0Cybin> Hey guys
[04:12] <keithclark> How do I start the program transmission via the comman line?  I'm trying to run this via an x session over ssh
[04:15] <rosemball> keithclark, transmission-gtk works for me
[04:15] <rosemball> maybe transmission-qt for you
[04:17] <ruien> a bit off topic, but if you need a good headless client, might want to look into 'aria2'
[04:18] <keithclark> rosemball, transmission-gtk works great here!  Thanks.
[04:19] <rosemball> you are welcome
[04:19] <keithclark> My headless server is massive compared to my little netbook and I want to be able to access that machine for doing torrent downloads
[04:20] <keithclark> I've installed xubuntu on it and accessing x sessions via ssh is working wonderfully.
[04:21] <keithclark> Well,, I've installed Proxmox first, then a ubuntu 13.04 server, then xubuntu and it all ties together just fine!  Lots of fun.
[04:26] <rosemball> nice
[04:26] <bazhang> for the cli? use rtorrent
[04:27] <keithclark> bazhang, yeah, I've used rtorrent in the past.  transmission is just so easy.
[04:28] <bazhang> keithclark, why would you want to start transmission from the command line
[04:28] <keithclark> bazhang, netbook connected via ssh to a headless server
[04:28] <bazhang> !find transmission
[04:28] <bazhang> keithclark, ^
[04:29] <keithclark> Yup, already have the answer via rosemball.
[04:29] <bazhang> transmission-cli , not -qt
[04:29] <keithclark> transmission-gtk
[04:30] <bazhang> thats with a gui
[04:30] <keithclark> Yes, what I wanted.  Maybe you missed something?
[04:30] <bazhang> headless server?
[04:31] <rosemball> keithclark, you may also try to use the remote management mode, where you use your browser to work with transmission
[04:31] <bazhang> rtorrent is really the choice here
[04:31] <keithclark> Yes, I have a netbook accessing a headless server. I wanted to access transmission  gui via ssh.
[04:31] <bazhang> much easier than transmission in every respect
[04:31] <keithclark> rosemball, that is a great idea, researching now.
[04:32] <keithclark> bazhang, I will look at rtorrent again.  It has been a long time.
[04:37] <keithclark> I have this quad core server with 16 GB of RAM and a RAID 5 setup that I want to be able to use with my netbooks in the house.  My netbooks are old machines with only 1 GB RAM on them.  Running programs via ssh X sessions is so much faster than local|!
[04:38] <keithclark> Just experimenting I guess
[04:38] <rosemball> I wanted to do something like this, more like thin clients
[04:39] <keithclark> Exactly
[04:39] <keithclark> It seems to be working here.  xubuntu desktop installed on the server and running remote ssh sessions.
[04:40] <rosemball> what about bandwidth overheard?
[04:40] <keithclark> Seems fine on my lan here.
[04:40] <keithclark> I've not tried it remotely yet though.
[04:40] <rosemball> nice
[04:41] <keithclark> It seems to be.  I'm still learning though.  We got this server for just $70 CDN
[04:41] <rosemball> big deal :)
[04:42] <keithclark> I just want to be able to use it.  I think this setup could support 4-5 netbooks in a thin client setup.  Easily
[08:13] <Soe1en> hello people, I have a problem with my microphone!
[08:13] <Soe1en> turns out I can record audio with audacity, but on skype the microphone seems not to work
[08:14] <Soe1en> I fear something is missconfigured between alsa and pulseaudio, could somebody help me?
[08:17] <Unit193> http://askubuntu.com/questions/96367/how-can-i-get-line-in-microphone-working-with-skype-on-lubuntu-11-10 something like that?
[08:20] <Soe1en> let me take a look
[08:22] <Soe1en> kinda, he rather had an issue with his usb micro
[08:23] <Soe1en> mine is an internal micro, therefore alsomixer looks a bit different on my side, there are no aux, analog source, digital source etc channels
[08:23] <TheSheep> !skype
[08:23] <TheSheep> hmm
[08:23] <TheSheep> that page has a 'troubleshooting' section
[08:27] <Soe1en> the thing is I don't even get anything at pulse audio control,  not only skype
[08:27] <Soe1en> as for audacity it seems like I can access directly to alsa
[08:27] <Soe1en> which is why I believe pulseaudio might be missconfigured, not skype
[08:28] <Soe1en> the troudbleshooting section did not do the trick btw
[08:28] <TheSheep> or maybe something is hogging the mike from alsa and not letting pulseaudio use it
[08:28] <TheSheep> that's why you shouldn't use alsa directly
[08:29] <Soe1en> it's not like I could access pulseaudio directly with audacity
[08:29] <TheSheep> there is no plugin?
[08:29] <Soe1en> as far as I can see I can only choose alsa
[08:30] <TheSheep> well, try closing audacity and see if that frees it for pa
[08:33] <Soe1en> well sometimes it's freezing
[08:34] <Unit193> You can also try the troubleshooting section on the pulse wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio
[08:34] <Soe1en> and no I always close audacity after a quick test
[08:39] <Soe1en> ah great, now it
[08:39] <Soe1en> s not even working on audacity haha
[08:44] <bazhang> ubot93, lag
[08:44] <bazhang> hokay
[08:49] <Soe1en> nope, article was not helpful at all
[08:50] <Soe1en> mhhh, maybe there is a pulseaudio channel here on freenode

[09:03] <bekks> Please pastebin "df -h"
[09:05] <Michiel^> one moment, it looks like it doesn't have a network connection atm, so i cant login
[09:08] <bekks> You dont need a network connection for login.

[09:09] <Michiel^> I see a strange error now, in the df -h output
[09:22] <Michiel^> bekks: I also tried to clean my ~/.config/xfce4 directory, no success
[09:24] <bekks> Michiel^: Try creating a new user and login with that new user.
[09:27] <Michiel^> bekks: same problem
[09:28] <bekks> Then you have to check the logs to see whats the issue.
[09:29] <Michiel^> well.. which one..? I checked ~/.xsession-errors

[13:40] <xubuntu738> Hello?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> xubuntu738, greetings
[13:41] <xubuntu738> Hi,im looking for help,would you be able to assist me?
[13:42] <cfhowlett> !ask
[13:43] <xubuntu738> Sorry,I'm running windows 7,but I was suggested to use xubuntu.I downloaded the 36-bit torrent iso,but how do I use it?
[13:44] <cfhowlett> 36 bit?  NO such thing.
[13:44] <cfhowlett> !install
[13:44] <xubuntu738> Sorry,32.
[13:45] <rosemball> xubuntu738, burn the iso to a disc (windows 7 can do this automatically) or write it to a pen drive
[13:45] <rosemball> too late ...
[13:45] <cfhowlett> long story short: make a boot USB, reboot, set you computer to boot from USB and enjoy the ubuntu goodness.  if you like the taste, consider installing.
[14:41] <freshinstall> why...?
[14:41] <freshinstall> hi all
[14:42] <freshinstall> my Xubuntu 13 was working properly
[14:42] <freshinstall> now sound is fucked up
[14:42] <freshinstall> only headphones works
[14:42] <freshinstall> ...anyone has any solution... ?
[14:44] <freshinstall> ....
[14:44] <freshinstall> noone?
[14:47] <freshinstall> useless chan...useless people. fuck off

[16:26] <Monkeytoe> What is the fastest remote desktop software for a lan? Server would be debian 7 and client would be xubuntu 13.04. Is there anything out there that can handle 1920x1200 @ 60fps?
[16:27] <bekks> LOL, no.
[16:27] <bekks> Your network is too slow for that.
[16:27] <Monkeytoe> I have a 10 gigabit connection between the two computers
[16:29] <Monkeytoe> running two intel x540-t1's with a crossover cable between the two computers
[16:33] <Monkeytoe> as I understand it a single link dvi which is capable of 1920x1200 @ 60fps is 3.96 Gb/s.... Its why I purchased the two 10 Gigabit cards so I should be fine as far as network connection.
[16:33] <Monkeytoe> 3.96 Gb/s is the spec on single link dvi that is
[16:33] <TheSheep> Monkeytoe: I don't think your graphics card can handle receiving that many pixels per second
[16:34] <TheSheep> not to mention other parts
[16:34] <bekks> Neither your graphics card can do that, nor your PCI bus. And basically it is nonsense.
[16:34] <bekks> What is your main goal? Gaming over RDP?
[16:34] <Monkeytoe> Yes
[16:35] <bekks> ROFLMAO
[16:35] <bekks> Good luck, waste other peoples time please :)
[16:36] <Monkeytoe> I fail to see how the PCI bus is not capable of 3.96 gigabits/s
[16:37] <Monkeytoe> the network card is running on x8 pcie 2.1
[16:37] <Monkeytoe> the graphics cards are amd 7950's
[16:37] <bekks> All you have to do is implement an RDP protocol that is capable of 1920x1200@60.
[16:37] <bekks> If you are done, call us again :)
[16:38] <Monkeytoe> so now its a software limitation? you just got through saying its a hardware limitation
[16:38] <Monkeytoe> rather rudely I might add
[16:39] <bekks> It is a combination of hardware and software limitations.
[16:39] <bekks> After fixing your hardware, only the missing software is left.
[16:42] <xubuntu747> Hola alguien que hable español que me pueda ayudar con un problema que tengo con xubuntu
[16:42] <bekks> !es | xubuntu747
[16:48] <TheSheep> Monkeytoe: there are several limitations in there, mostly because nobody seems to have such needs
[16:49] <TheSheep> Monkeytoe: you are the first, you can try experimenting and something may actually work, but don't expect anyone with experience with something like this
[16:49] <Monkeytoe> im wondering if a dvi over IP adapter would be better
[16:49] <Monkeytoe> I already use synergy to share keyboard/mouse between the two computers
[16:50] <TheSheep> why does it have to be ip?
[16:50] <Monkeytoe> doesnt have to be
[16:51] <Monkeytoe> just need to get the video stream from that computer to this one in a window
[16:51] <TheSheep> a long video cable sounds more reliable and cheaper
[16:51] <TheSheep> in a window :/
[17:13] <Pwnna> stock ubuntu has a wacom tablet settings thing
[17:13] <Pwnna> does XFCE have this? or can i install a package?
[17:14] <Pwnna> kde-config-tablet ?
[17:16] <baizon> Pwnna: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse
[17:18] <Pwnna> baizon: but that doesn't have a lot of settings
[17:18] <Pwnna> i need dual screen support, and so forth
[17:19] <baizon> Pwnna: http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Wacom+Control+Panel?content=104309
[17:20] <Pwnna> i'm pretty sure that one is outdated
[17:20] <Pwnna> i have no problem using xinput, but i think it's breaking my right click on my trackpoint
[17:20] <Pwnna> (thinkpad)
[17:26] <TheSheep> Pwnna: unfortunately no
[17:26] <TheSheep> Pwnna: you can try gpointing-device-settings
[17:27] <Pwnna> eh it's okay
[17:27] <Pwnna> i think my right click problem might be a hardware issue
[17:27] <Pwnna> it occasionally works. xev is not even detecting sometimes..
[17:27] <TheSheep> Pwnna: but there is nothing for wacom tablets specifically, I just have a script that sets everything up with xsetwacin'
[17:27] <TheSheep> xsetwacom
[17:27] <Pwnna> same
[17:27] <Pwnna> xsetwacom set "Wacom Bamboo Connect Pen stylus" MapToOutput $1
[17:28] <TheSheep> there are several abandoned projects for a wacom gui
[17:28] <Pwnna> yeah
[17:28] <Pwnna> whatever.
[17:28] <Pwnna> should create a widget for this for xfce
[17:28] <Pwnna> so i can switch between screens
[17:29] <Pwnna> TheSheep: i want a way to like.. restrict the pen movement
[17:29] <TheSheep> just bind it to a key
[17:29] <Pwnna> to a portion of the screen. that i select..
[17:29] <TheSheep> you can set the mode to 'window'
[17:29] <Pwnna> how?
[17:30] <TheSheep> gpointing-device-settings
[17:30] <Pwnna> can i do it via xinput?
[17:30] <TheSheep> ah, no, sorry
[17:31] <Pwnna> well there's gotta be a way to do it via command line?
[17:31] <TheSheep> it's in the "mouse & touchpad" settings in xubuntu settings
[17:31] <TheSheep> you can also set it up in gimp, inkscape or mypaint individually
[17:32] <TheSheep> yeah, it's called "mode" and it can be "screen" or "window"
[17:32] <TheSheep> or "absolute" and "relative"
[17:32] <Pwnna> relative is bs
[17:32] <Pwnna> doesn't work well
[17:32] <TheSheep> yeah, that's for mice
[17:32] <Pwnna> tbh it's okay. i just have xournal to full screen
[17:35] <TheSheep> be glad it's wacom, other tablets have *much* worse support
[17:35] <Pwnna> lol
[17:35] <Pwnna> yeah
[17:35] <Pwnna> damnit i think i might need to replace this keyboard
[18:32] <snuggyfoo> Hi, i'm running xfce on a chromebook (ARM arch). I am able to do "sudo apt-get install ..." but cannot do "sudo apt" or "sudo add-apt-repository...."
[18:32] <snuggyfoo> It returns command not found.
[18:32] <snuggyfoo> Does anyone know what has gone wrong?
[18:33] <TheSheep> there is not command 'apt'
[18:33] <TheSheep> and add-apt-repository is just a convenience script
[18:33] <snuggyfoo> ok, I wasn't sure about that one, but I am about "add-apt-repository..."
[18:33] <snuggyfoo> hmmm
[18:33] <TheSheep> you can just add stuff to your sources list manually, as described on launchpad
[18:34] <TheSheep> in the ppa
[18:34] <brainwash_> add-apt-repository is provided by the package "software-properties-common"
[18:34] <snuggyfoo> is that in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[18:35] <snuggyfoo> cool!
[18:35] <snuggyfoo> I'll try that.
[18:35] <snuggyfoo> Thank you both.
[18:36] <snuggyfoo> installing that packaged worked
[18:36] <snuggyfoo> package*
[18:36] <brainwash_> :)
[19:12] <David-A> snuggyfoo: to add repository there is also System>SoftwareSources>OtherSoftware>Add
[19:15] <snuggyfoo> David-A I think I'm missing that. I don't see SoftwareSources under the System menu.
[19:15] <snuggyfoo> I think a lot of things are missing in this Crouton installed version
[19:16] <snuggyfoo> I can't get libreoffice to open. It says it's missing the shared libraries: liblpsolve55.so
[19:19] <snuggyfoo> Nevermind, installing libreoffice-calc fixed that.
[19:22] <David-A> snuggyfoo: Software Sources dialog is also available from inside Synaptic Package Manager, Settings>Repositories
[20:18] <nantou> is there any image viewer that shows images recursively? I mean I have a pictures folder and inside several subdirectories. I dont want to sort em by date or place, but just by the folder name, and I want to see em all recursively, not separated by subdirectory, as gthumb does
[20:37] <David-A> nantou: if you start gthumb with a list of filenames as its arguments, then, in image view, previous/next will show the images in the order specified, wherever dir they are.
[20:38] <David-A> nantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg
[20:48] <nantou> David-A, how do I do that? step by step instructions please
[20:48] <knome> 23:38  David-A: nantou: e.g. gthumb *.jpg nature/*.jpg popstars/*.jpg
[20:49] <nantou> do I then have to start it from the terminal?
[20:50] <David-A> nantou: initially to test it, yes. but you can make a script and start it with a launcher on the panel or as a custom command in thunar.
[20:54] <nantou> David-A, i dont see any difference with "gthumb *.jpg"
[20:56] <David-A> nantou: are you in image view? (menu view>image view)
[20:58] <knome> i thought David-A said to list all the subdirectories in the command he gave, but maybe it's me who is misreading.
[20:59] <nantou> i cannot locate the icons he makes reference to
[21:00] <nantou> menu view>image view
[21:01] <nantou> there is a view option in the main menu, with sub options:  refresh, toolbar, statusbar...
[21:02] <nantou> do you mean that by "menu view"?
[21:02] <David-A>  nantou: sorry View>Image  (where one image is shown and there are Previous/Next buttons)
[21:03] <nantou> 3.1.2 is my version. In the menu bar, the "view" sections does not list any "image"
[21:06] <David-A> nantou: sorry again, I'm old: 2.10.11
[21:44] <andyland> How do I change the meta key in terminal to something like alt instead of esc? I'm sitting on the latest xubuntu version on an old HP laptop with a Swedish keyboard setting.
[21:48] <David-A> andyland: for command line editing in bash, i think alt already works as an alternative to esc. is there a special program you need to adapt?
[22:06] <andyland> David-A: Nevermind I think it was working all along, just my plain stupidity. It's mainly for Emacs though in case you were wondering.
[22:12] <David-A> no problem, vi skall alla den vägen vandra
[23:49] <Guest21393> hi guys im booted onto a live usb trying to partition my harddrive but the hard drive keeps mounting ot self how can i stop that
[23:50] <Guest21393> ive booted of a usb
