[00:30] <guest11321> ?
[00:48] <GridCube> !someone
[00:49] <puff> GridCube: You do realize guest11321 is already gone, right?
[00:49] <GridCube> i do now
[00:50] <Ted_> Hello to everyone
[00:51] <GridCube> !hi | Ted_
[00:52] <Ted_> Would love some help, I am trying to figure out why my newly installed Xubuntu is running very slowly.
[00:53] <puff> Ted_: Start by running top?
[00:53] <puff> Ted_: Actually, start by opening a shell window and entering the command "uptime"
[00:54] <puff> Ted_: Tell us what the load number is from uptime.  Then enter the command "top", which will show you which processes are using the most CPU.
[00:54] <Ted_>  17:54:18 up 1 day, 18:22,  2 users,  load average: 0.23, 0.42, 0.47
[00:54] <puff> Ted_: In top, you can press "m" to switch to which processes are using the most memory.
[00:55] <puff> Ted_: That's pretty good, it indicates that your computer is not very busy.
[00:55] <puff> Ted_: What slow behavior are you seeing?
[00:56] <Ted_>  1511 seeley     9 -11  161m 3364 2284 S   1.7  0.3   9:16.93 pulseaudio         16417 seeley    20   0  219m  21m  14m S   1.3  2.2   0:05.59 plugin-containe    16444 seeley    20   0  126m  13m  10m S   0.7  1.4   0:01.05 xfce4-terminal       979 root      20   0 77908  30m  20m S   0.3  3.0  32:04.91 Xorg               16314 seeley    20   0  480m 108m  38m S   0.3 10.9   1:27.34 firefox
[00:56] <Ted_> sorry I tried to paist the top results
[00:58] <puff> !paste
[00:58] <puff> Ted_: What slowness are you observing?
[00:59] <Ted_> well most every action is slow to load. at the moment it isn't bad but for instance if I open the settings manager it take 30 to 40 seconds to appear
[00:59] <puff> Ted_: Yiks.
[01:00] <puff> Ted_: Hm, does the slowness persist?
[01:00] <Ted_> the biggest issue is while using firefox, any website I type into the address bar seems to take a really long time to start loading
[01:01] <puff> Ted_: That's odd.
[01:02] <Ted_> yes the slowness is consistant even with restarting the machine.
[01:02] <puff> The only thing I can imagine is that the drive is loading slow or something.
[01:02] <puff> You didn't see this with other distros?
[01:03] <puff> Try this, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[01:04] <Ted_> I have tried a few different Puppy distros but the two that had good performance did not work on some websites that need to be accessed from this computer.
[01:05] <puff> Then log out, on the login screen, next to your username will be a little white circular ubuntu symbol.  Click on that and it will let you select between kde or xfce for window manager.  Select kde and log in, see if you get the same behavior.
[01:05] <puff>  Ted_: Hm, on second thought, try sudo aptitude install lxde
[01:05] <puff> kde is kinda big and takes a little while to install, lxde should be faster.
[01:06] <Ted_> ok I will give that a shot
[01:06] <puff> Ted_: If the slowness goes away when using lxde, then you know it's something about xfce that's causing the problem.  If it remains, you know it's something more fundamental.
[01:06] <puff> Ted_: Changing back to xfce is easy, you do it the same way.
[01:08] <Ted_> lxde is installing now, thanks for the help / suggestion. I am really hoping to make the full switch to linux
[01:14] <puff> Cool.
[01:17] <Ted_> done installing, time to test her out.
[02:05] <Ted_> back again with my slow xubuntu
[02:08] <Ted_> As recomended by puff I installed LXDE wich did improve performace but I Firefox is still pretty slow.
[02:29] <XRS1> you could try Lynx
[02:32] <Cool_Cockatiel1> so is anyone out here
[03:43] <z4veloc> hi folks....got some issues...with xubu 12.04.3 64-bit amd
[03:43] <XRS1> like?
[03:45] <z4veloc> i installed boot up mgr via ppa...now when i launch it...reqsts pwd...enter pwd dialog goes away and nothing...however after tracing net scans, i have to type xhost local: root....any ideas what went wrong?
[10:17] <vabi> Hello guys. I have a problem with thunar on Xubuntu 13.04. When i'm copying for example avi file to flash drive, it seems first few seconds to be very fast, and after that i stucks a few MB before the end. What should i do?
[10:18] <vabi> now, when i'd left it for a few minutes i see that it's not really stuck, it seems, like thunar can't estimate properly time left.
[11:26] <yeyeman> how do I change the color of executable files in the terminal?
[11:26] <baizon> yeyeman: what do you mean?
[11:27] <baizon> if a file is executable, it will automatically change its color
[11:27] <yeyeman> yes, I want to change the color it changes to
[11:27] <yeyeman> they are some kind of light green by default
[11:27] <baizon> yes they are
[11:28] <yeyeman> I have a white terminal bg
[11:28] <yeyeman> so light green is kind of hard on the eyes
[11:28] <baizon> yeyeman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17299/what-do-the-different-colors-mean-in-the-terminal
[11:30] <baizon> yeyeman: or this http://www.ivankristianto.com/beginners-guide-change-ls-command-text-color/
[11:33] <vabi> I have a problem with MTP on xubuntu. Phone is ok, MTP is working properly on different OS and on other computer. On my xubuntu i have many crashes and for example i can't move file.
[11:37] <vabi> i'm sure that it's problem with Xubuntu, because on my music player the same bugs occurs, when in MTP mode
[11:42] <baizon> vabi: what phone os? android?
[11:42] <vabi> Yes, unofficial CyanogenMod
[11:42] <vabi> baizon: Xperia Pro, but it is occuring with all types of MTP devices.
[11:44] <baizon> vabi: i had often problems with PC <-> Android, thats why i'm using and recommend AirDroid ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid )
[11:44] <baizon> no problems since then
[11:46] <vabi> baizon: thanks for that useful app, but it won't work for me, i'm copying sometimes about 1GB of data. With my crappy internet connection it would last weeks :)
[11:47] <baizon> vabi: well it uses your local LAN
[11:47] <baizon> so it will be faster than USB
[11:48] <vabi> baizon: Oh, so thank you really much, i'll use it. Only problem is that it wont work for my music player :D So if anyone have any ideas, i would be really happy.
[11:49] <baizon> vabi: as you can see airdroid got an integrated music player ;)
[11:49] <vabi> Yup, but i'm talking about a little mp3 player, another device :)
[11:49] <baizon> ah ok
[11:50] <Myrtti> vabi: so what have you done to troubleshoot and narrow down the problem so far?
[11:51] <Myrtti> vabi: are you at all familiar with commandline interface?
[11:52] <vabi> Myrtti: i tried to use Clementine player to deal with music transfers, but it worked similiar to this one from thunar. I use commandline sometimes, i think I'm beginner.
[11:53] <Myrtti> so if you have one of the devices at hand right now, and you plug it in, what does dmesg and lsusb output? just last lines of dmesg would do. Use pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com works) if there's a lot of text
[11:58] <vabi> Myrtti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6140877/
[11:59] <Myrtti> and tail -f /var/log/syslog ?
[12:01] <vabi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6140889/
[12:02] <vabi> Myrtti: I forgot to call you above ;)
[12:05] <Myrtti> let me read your problem description again...
[12:06] <Myrtti> so mtp works, to a certain degree, and then mysteriously fails
[12:07] <vabi> Myrtti: Maybe it's not really accurate. I can't move file within MTP, for example move some photo to another folder on my phone. Sometimes i'm copying something to my phone and after a few minutes of laggy copying i get empty folder instead of that one which i was copying. And it's giving me alerts that it can't delete something, for some reason (when i'm only copying).
[12:11] <Myrtti> mmm
[12:12] <vabi> Myrtti: And to that, i have a problem with estimating time left when copying to pendrive, i don't know, maybe it's linked.
[12:20] <Myrtti> I draw a blank sorry
[12:23] <vabi> Myrtti: No problem, i think that after installing pure 13.10 it will work OOB :) So i can live with this bugs that few weeks. Thank You.
[13:24] <dlw> how to start a program at boot up
[15:42] <nantou> when will 13.10 be released?
[15:42] <elfy> in october
[15:42] <bekks> nantou: In 10/2013
[15:42] <elfy> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule
[15:43] <nantou> 20th ofo october? 15th?
[15:43] <Myrtti> it actually says on the page
[15:44] <Myrtti> but generally it has been the third Thursday of the month
[15:44] <Myrtti> as it is now
[21:40] <jonhigh9000> Before my Question i am a newbie to xubuntu. is there any way to select cursor themes?
[21:41] <xubuntu587> you mean like trailing shadows of the mouse arrow?
[21:41] <knome> jonhigh9000, in settings manager, go to "mouse and touchpads", then select the tab "theme"
[21:42] <jonhigh9000> Cool. ty :) sorry about the question. :(
[21:44] <David-A> jonhigh9000: don't be sorry, it was a perfectly valid question about xubuntu (or xfce)
[21:45] <jonhigh9000> David-A: thanks.
[21:47] <jonhigh9000> exit
[21:57] <cyberpork> hello!
[21:57] <cyberpork> guys i've a problem, i've upgraded my pc from xubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 and after that my pc doesn't boot!
[21:58] <cyberpork> it only boot after i select the hd in the bios of my motherboard
[21:58] <cyberpork> the pc is a intel g2020 on a asus p8h77-m
[21:59] <cyberpork> plz help me to resolve i need this pc for my office to work
[22:02] <cyberpork> anyone can help me to find the rpoblem?
[22:07] <cyberpork>  it can be a uefi incompatibility?
[22:16] <cyberpork> heeeeellloooooooo guysssssssss
[22:19] <cyberpork> ciao ragazzi!
[22:20] <GridCube> !hi | cyberpork
[22:20] <GridCube> cyberpork, have you tried to choose a previous linux version on the grub menu?
[22:20] <cyberpork> yes but it doesn't matter
[22:21] <cyberpork> i've tried all  kernel that i had
[22:21] <GridCube> how is it that it doesnt work?
[22:21] <cyberpork> the only solution is to define in the uefi bios the hd
[22:21] <GridCube> mmmm
[22:22] <cyberpork> and magically it boot
[22:22] <GridCube> then its an uefi problem
[22:22] <cyberpork> in the bios i can also don't move anything and then boot
[22:22] <GridCube> !uefi
[22:22] <cyberpork> but i must eneter in the bios first
[22:22] <GridCube> mmm
[22:22] <cyberpork> i'm reading this now
[22:23] <cyberpork> it can be a simple grub bug
[22:23] <GridCube> you might try to use boot-repair to fix grub
[22:23] <cyberpork> if i upgrade the distro to 13.04?
[22:24] <cyberpork> the pc is at work and i can't go physically there
[22:25] <cyberpork> but i can access to it by remote
[22:25] <GridCube> sorry this goes beyond my field of knowledge
[22:26] <GridCube> cyberpork, have you tried to run "sudo update-grub"?
[22:26] <cyberpork> yesssssssss
[22:26] <cyberpork> nothing
[22:27] <cyberpork> have you knowledge about uefi and bios? i don't know so mush about
[22:27] <GridCube> very superficiallly
[22:27] <cyberpork> i'm reading on the doc but i can understand a thing
[22:27] <GridCube> i know that for many uefi installations you need a dedicated partition just for the uefi settings
[22:28] <GridCube> or you can disable the secure booting from uefi to avoid the need of that
[22:28] <cyberpork> in the bios i see 2 disk with uefi flag
[22:28] <cyberpork> and 1 disk
[22:28] <GridCube> cyberpork, uefi replaces the bios
[22:28] <GridCube> there is no bios, just uefi
[22:28] <cyberpork> but all of 3 are the only hd that my pc has!
[22:28] <cyberpork> ok sorry
[22:29] <GridCube> cyberpork, those are the partitions, you need 3, one for uefi, one for your data, and one for linux's swap
[22:29] <cyberpork> why i see doubled hd in the uefi?
[22:29] <cyberpork> but all of that are 500 gb
[22:29] <cyberpork> anyone have the same name
[22:30] <GridCube> cyberpork, how did you installed the system? are you sure that grub got installed in the first boot drive? maybe it got installed in the drive that uefi looks for second
[22:30] <cyberpork> i've  only installed 1 time xubuntu 12.04 and the hd was clean before
[22:30] <felixx> hola
[22:30] <felixx> holaa
[22:30] <GridCube> !es | felixx
[22:30] <cyberpork> i've just bought for this pc
[22:31] <GridCube> cyberpork, you dont have any other drive? not even a pendrive?
[22:31] <GridCube> usb?
[22:32] <cyberpork> mmm nothing
[22:32] <cyberpork> why?
[22:32] <cyberpork> what can i try?
[22:33] <cyberpork> plz explain me what can i do GridCube
[22:33] <GridCube> if it where me, i would try to see where grub got installed, i would try to run boot-repair and see if it can fix it for me
[22:33] <GridCube> i would see if the drive its flagged as booteable
[22:33] <GridCube> and if in uefi its listed as the first boot device
[22:34] <cyberpork> in uefi is the first, it's the only thing i can move to boot p
[22:34] <cyberpork> up
[22:36] <cyberpork> the strange thing is that boot after i enter and i exit to the uefi
[22:37] <cyberpork> also if i don't move enything
[22:37] <cyberpork> :0
[22:54] <cyberpork> GridCube, thanks a lot for support
[22:54] <GridCube> sorry i couldnt be of more help cyberpork
[22:54] <cyberpork> i try to find the solution in the uefi
[22:54] <cyberpork> ;)
[22:54] <cyberpork> bye bye and have a good day!
