[01:57] <dunpeal> Hi. How do I switch my displays to portrait mode?
[02:21] <puff> I have a menu shortcut set up to run emacs, is there any way I can specify for emacs to arrive fully maximized?
[02:21] <puff> Er, for emacs to open/startup fully maximized?
[02:28] <xubuntu254> Howdy! New user. Is there a way to get my xfce machine to show up on the networking list on my windows 7 tower?
[02:34] <puff> xubuntu254: I have no clue how the networking list on windows 7 works... maybe it's a samba thing?
[02:35] <xubuntu254> samba? I'll lookthat up, thanks!
[02:37] <XRS1> you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf so your machine is in the right workgroup
[02:38] <XRS1> find out what workgroup your windows machine are on and add it to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[02:46] <xubuntu345> Good evening!
[02:47] <XRS1> hiya
[02:52] <xubuntu345> I need some help
[02:53] <xubuntu345> with Xubuntu?!... I am a newbie!
[02:55] <pleia2> ask away
[03:01] <xubuntu345> I am running Xubuntu 13.04 64 bit, kernel 3.8... I got everything working except de wireless card! I am on a Asus U32U laptop, and the wireless card for this model is a Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter!
[03:05] <xubuntu345> If I press fn + F2 (in this model is how I turned on and off the wireless card using Windows), instead of turn on or off the wireless, in turns on or off the bleutooth...
[03:06] <xubuntu345> When I go to addicional drivers only my graffic card is listed...
[03:09] <xubuntu345> And anothe detail, when I resume from suspend, the list of wireless networks is avaiable and I can connect... But when I reboot, the problem goes back again...
[03:09] <xubuntu345> What can I do to solve this problem?
[03:10] <pleia2> I haven't seen this issue, sorry, hopefully someone else will come along :)
[03:12] <xubuntu345> my problem as far as I can undenstand is something like this > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173681
[03:18] <xubuntu345> And just to see how thing are evolving, I used a live usb with Xubuntu 13.10 beta 1 in the same laptop, and still no wireless "out of the box" and no driver listed in the Additional  Drkv
[03:18] <xubuntu345> = Addicionsl Drivers
[12:12] <torstehu> I upgraded today from 13.04 to 13.10, and I need some hints how to debug why the sound indicator is nonfunctioning, anybody got a hint?
[12:14] <elfy> torstehu: it's a bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208204
[12:15] <elfy> torstehu: comment #5 is a workround
[12:16] <torstehu> elfy: thanks :)
[12:17] <elfy> welcome
[13:27] <haider254> Hi folks! anyone willing to lend a helping hand?
[13:28] <baizon> !ask | haider254
[13:31] <haider254> Alrighty then!  I have the following issue. I have mounted a 500gb usb drive to the location /home/user/USB . Under this location I have several directories to organise my media. I have recently noticed that for some reason the data isn't being saved on the USB drive but instead on the internal HD. I have verified this by running df -h which shows that the USB drive is practically empty even though there should be gigs worth of dat
[13:32] <GridCube> haider254, are you shure that the drive is mounted where you think it is?
[13:33] <GridCube> you might have been copying to a directory that its not the actual mount point but just before
[13:33] <haider254> This is the output from df -h regarding the drive /dev/sdc1             459G   70M  435G   1% /home/user/USB
[13:33] <GridCube> mmmhm
[13:35] <haider254> This is an example of a download directory from my download manager /home/user/USB/TV/
[13:39] <haider254> well looks like this discussion already helped a bunch. Looks like the drive wasn't correctly mounted for some reason and like you said the data was in the internal drive. Will correct the situation by changing the drives mount point and transferring the data to the USB drive. Thanks a bunch for all the help!
[13:42] <antithesis> hi
[13:43] <antithesis> I just installed xubuntu with the same home partition as before, and now xfce won't run under my user
[13:44] <antithesis> The guest account works fine, though
[13:44] <antithesis> Any ideas how I can only reset the xfce configuration in my home folder?
[13:44] <antithesis> I've already tried renaming .config/{xfce,xfce-session} to something else
[13:46] <knome> antithesis, start trying by removing ~/.cache
[13:47] <antithesis> knome: still the same
[13:47] <knome> antithesis, ~/.Xauthority* ?
[13:47] <knome> antithesis, and ~/.ICEauthority
[13:53] <antithesis> knome: it worked! Holy shit imma check out if this fixed my RHEL as well
[13:53] <knome> !language | antithesis
[13:53] <antithesis> holy smoke!
[13:53] <antithesis> thanks
[13:54] <knome> no problem
[16:12] <xubuntu776> Hi all!
[17:11] <tenguix> hey guys. anybody know where I'd find [a] source for panel plugins and [b] legible .ui (or similar) files for the xfce metapackage
[17:51] <jonhighley9000> anybody know of a site where a newbie (such as myself) can get detailed instructions on setting up transmission?
[17:52] <qwebirc29536> jonhighley9000: Transmission is already very simple. You don't need to set many things to it
[17:53] <jonhighley9000> ok.
[17:53] <Poisoned_Dragon> transmission works out of the box
[17:53] <Poisoned_Dragon> The only thing you would want to configure is the ip filter section.
[17:54] <jonhighley9000> would that require a server? if so, i have none.
[17:54] <Poisoned_Dragon> no
[17:55] <Poisoned_Dragon> just a link to a ip list.
[17:55] <jonhighley9000> Poisoned_Dragon: thank you.
[17:57] <jonhighley9000> Poisoned_Dragon: would i just need to put in my internal ip (192.168.x.x) for that?
[17:57] <Poisoned_Dragon> no
[17:57] <jonhighley9000> Poisoned_Dragon: or external ip?
[17:59] <Poisoned_Dragon> jonhighley9000, just fire up terminal, go into preferences, click the privacy tab and entre a url that has a list of IP addys you wish to ban.
[17:59] <Poisoned_Dragon> then click the update button.
[17:59] <Poisoned_Dragon> I'll give you a good example list url...
[18:00] <Poisoned_Dragon> jonhighley9000, http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz
[18:00] <Poisoned_Dragon> that url will block ip addys that hate p2p.
[18:00] <jonhighley9000> Poisoned_Dragon: sorry for the "twenty questions" just trying to get a handle on this that's all. btw, thank you for your patience. :)
[18:01] <jonhighley9000> ok thanks
[18:01] <jonhighley9000> :)
[18:01] <Poisoned_Dragon> np
[18:02] <jonhighley9000> Poisoned_Dragon: thanks for your help.
[18:02] <Poisoned_Dragon> Happy torrenting
[18:02] <jonhighley9000> :)
[18:07] <sush24> Hi, I'm a bit new to xubuntu.. When I open something on appfinder, it launches a new instance of the app. Can I customize it such that it opens an existing instance if present?
[18:08] <GridCube> that depends on the program
[18:09] <sush24> hmm
[18:09] <sush24> i think atleast for settings, the existing instance should be opened
[18:11] <Poisoned_Dragon> some programs don't have an option to restrict to only one instance
[18:11] <Poisoned_Dragon> if you want the current instance instead, just alt+tab to it
[18:22] <nice-coder> Why doesn't 12.04.3 Xubuntu ISO default to newer kernel as mentioned here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ?
[18:23] <GridCube> ¿?
[18:25] <GridCube> nice-coder, as i understand it xubuntu's kernel for 12.04 still supports PAE, im not sure where this other kernels stand in this issue
[18:26] <nice-coder> 12.04.3 installation media are supposed to ship with 13.04's X.org and kernel, isn't it?
[18:27] <GridCube> no idea
[18:27] <nice-coder> read the link I posted above.
[18:28] <Unit193> You can install them anyway.
[18:28] <Unit193> lts-raring packages.
[18:28] <GridCube> well then, thats your answer, xubuntu still needs a PAE enabled kernel
[18:29] <nice-coder> got it.
[18:37] <tenguix> any answers to my ^question :|
[18:38] <tenguix> "anybody know where I'd find [a] source for panel plugins and [b] legible .ui (or similar) files for the xfce metapackage"
[18:38] <Unit193> apt-get source packagename? :P
[18:38] <Unit193> !source
[18:38] <Unit193> I'm guessing not that type of thing?
[18:40] <tenguix> Obvious enough, right? Thanks guys :)
[18:41] <nice-coder> Are there any considerable improvements in 4.10 over 4.8, from which my laptop's battery backup time can benefit from?
[18:48] <imincik> hi, has anybody experience with running xubuntu in LTSP ?
[18:49] <Unit193> None at all for me, got a question though?
[18:49] <tenguix> Just saying, I got everything I needed in the source package.
[18:49] <tenguix> You guys are the best :')
[18:49] <Unit193> tenguix: Could check on LP too, may be newer stuff.
[18:49] <Unit193> Sure3.
[18:51] <Unit193> imincik: #ltsp might be of help in case this isn't.
[18:52] <imincik> I need to use some ugly hacks to start proper xubuntu session in LTSP
[18:52] <tenguix> Unit193: apt-get barfed out a link that looked interesting.
[18:53] <tenguix> The only thing that isn't a million percent with xfce is the out-of-box ui.
[18:53] <imincik> if I set  XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS in LDM I still do not have correct xubuntu session
[18:53] <Unit193> imincik: Aha, you are Ivan Mincik, yes I can't help you then.  Sorry.
[18:53] <Unit193> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2013-September/009347.html
[18:54] <imincik> Unit193: Yes, thanks
[18:54] <Poisoned_Dragon> lol
[18:56] <tenguix> Oh, does anyone know what power management package provides suspend, etc. on the new livedisk?
[18:58] <tenguix> Cause it aint pm-tools
[18:58] <tenguix> or utils, rather.
[20:14] <Soren_> Hi everyone! :)
[20:15] <Soren_> Im thinking about installing xubuntu again. But the last time i did it, i got a completely black screen on boot. I think it was because i have ati graphic card or something.
[20:15] <Soren_> Do you guys have an page where i can find the most common issues?
[20:15] <Soren_> I really cant find anything about it
[20:15] <Janeks991____> my usb ports aren't working
[20:16] <Soren_> wow, thats not good :p
[20:16] <Janeks991____> + I feel like somebody has been doing something with this pc
[20:18] <Janeks991____> like configuration or something
[20:18] <knome> Janeks991____, for starters, could you remove your other clones from the channel. you seem to have five clients joining.
[20:18] <Janeks991____> lol really
[20:18] <Janeks991____> ?
[20:18] <Soren_> rofl
[20:18] <Janeks991____> thats like news to me
[20:19] <Janeks991____> this is some malicious xubuntu I'm using
[20:19] <knome> Janeks991____, i would doubt that, but can you first remove those clones. tell us if you need assistance with that.
[20:19] <Janeks991____> really something is wrong with this pc
[20:20] <knome> Janeks991____, "something is wrong" or "it's not working" are not useful for debugging; can you try to be a bit more elaborate on that?
[20:20] <Soren_> Would you guys recommend installing xubuntu from windows? Or should i do it from usb?
[20:21] <Janeks991____> well I can't reinstall it
[20:21] <knome> Soren_, do it from USB; if you are referring to Wubi, that shouldn't be enabled for later versions of xubuntu, and it's not a clean installation anyway; with wubi, xubuntu is installed inside windows
[20:21] <elfy> Soren_: I'd recommend from usb
[20:22] <Soren_> Okay. Great, maybe that was the issue last time then.
[20:22] <Soren_> and yes, it was wubi i was thinking about :)
[20:22] <knome> Janeks991____, is there an error message? what's the error message if there is one? if there is no error message, what happens?
[20:23] <Soren_> how about dualboot? Do you recommend grub or what?
[20:23] <Soren_> I need windows for some applications i use
[20:23] <knome> Soren_, grub should do the trick
[20:23] <knome> Soren_, be sure to check the dualboot instructions out first:
[20:23] <knome> !dualboot | Soren_
[20:23] <Soren_> Okay, is that automatic when installing xubuntu or do i need to do something specific?
[20:24] <Soren_> ah great.
[20:24] <knome> that should be pretty much automatic as long as you select the right things
[20:24] <Soren_> Anything you would recommend me before i install it?
[20:24] <knome> try to run xubuntu in a live mode, eg. boot the USB stick and select "try xubuntu" to check if everything works
[20:25] <knome> and, naturally; back up any important data
[20:26] <Soren_> Yeah ofc. Everything is backed up to my nas
[20:26] <knome> yep. you should be good to go then. good luck :)
[20:27] <Soren_> Im not used to desktop linux at all. I use linux on my server and alittle on my laptop
[20:27] <knome> laptop/desktop experience is basically the same
[20:27] <Soren_> but ive not used desktop linux very mutch :/
[20:28] <Soren_> Okay. I just remembered that i had some issues with xubuntu last time i installed it on this computer. But im not 100% sure what the issue was
[20:28] <knome> the only difference is the hardware really, and if it works, then great :)
[20:28] <knome> well if you still have it, join the channel again and we can try to debug it
[20:28] <knome> if it's a bug, we'll get that filed and it'll eventually (hopefully sooner than later) be fixed
[20:28] <Soren_> Yes.
[20:28] <knome> things with proprietary drivers are a bit complicated, but let's hope it's not about those
[20:28] <Soren_> I remember that this was a known issue for like an year ago
[20:29] <Soren_> so hopefully its fixed now
[20:29] <Soren_> It was something with the drivers, i remember that
[20:29] <Soren_> I got black screen or something like that.
[20:30] <knome> if it was with the open source drivers, the proprietary drivers might be able to fix that
[20:30] <knome> if it was with the proprietary drivers, the open source drivers might be able to fix that
[20:30] <Soren_> Yeah it was something like that.
[20:30] <knome> or later versions of the same drivers.
[20:30] <knome> if it's a year, there has been some progress on both, so it's possible that it is fixed and you won't hit it again
[20:31] <Soren_> Sounds really great
[20:31] <Soren_> I dont remember if i used wubi or not tho
[20:31] <Soren_> Hmm, maybe i shoud login to irc on my ipad meanwhile :p
[20:31] <knome> that's a good solution as well
[20:39] <Janeks991____> sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation fails
[20:39] <Janeks991____> Enter current password for root (enter for none):
[20:39] <Janeks991____> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[20:41] <Soren_> knome, do you have time for like 10 minutes?
[20:41] <Soren_> Is it ok if i pm u?
[20:44] <Janeks991____> my google is in russian
[20:45] <Janeks991____> malicious xubuntu
[20:45] <Janeks991____> how to change password of user
[20:45] <Janeks991____> via terminal?
[20:46] <Soren-ipad> Terminal passwd
[20:46] <Soren-ipad> Passwd command should be god :)
[20:46] <knome> !ru | Janeks991____
[20:46] <Janeks991____> knome what?
[20:47] <knome> Soren_, on the channel is better since others can chime in and other seeking help can possibly find the answers on the logs
[20:47] <Janeks991____> I can't understand why google thinks I want in russian\
[20:47] <knome> Janeks991____, sorry, i misunderstood.
[20:47] <Soren-ipad> Yeah true knome :)
[20:47] <Janeks991____> I can't install mysql
[20:48] <Janeks991____> google finds my problem in russian portals
[20:49] <Janeks991____> + gives me language of it
[20:49] <knome> Janeks991____, i would imagine the command you are trying to run asks for the mysql root password.
[20:51] <Soren-ipad> Im Strikning my partition right now :)
[20:51] <Soren-ipad> Shrinking
[20:52] <knome> hope it goes better than your typing ;)=

[20:56] <n0b> Hey, i'm new to xubuntu. how do I rice the shit out of this
[20:57] <Janeks991____> hey n0b, don't use bad words
[20:57] <Janeks991____> okay?
[20:58] <Soren_> and please try to define what you said :)
[20:58] <n0b> how do rice xubuntu
[20:58] <Unit193> Rice?
[20:58] <knome> n0b, what's your native language?
[20:59] <n0b> rice
[20:59] <Soren_> What about rice?
[20:59] <n0b> i want to rice
[20:59] <brainwash> what the rice?
[20:59] <Unit193> http://allrecipes.com/recipes/side-dish/rice/ ?
[21:00] <n0b> no
[21:00] <knome> n0b, that doesn't make sense. please be more elaborate. if you aren't good in english, you can get support in your own language, if you tell us what you'd be comfortable with
[21:01] <Janeks991____> he lives in North Korea and misses rice
[21:01] <Janeks991____> give him a break
[21:01] <knome> !offtopic | Janeks991____
[21:02] <n0b> I want to rice my xubuntu distro so that I can make it look like pic related: a.pomf.se/2Ha4.gif
[21:02] <Soren_> Oh you mean like the windows rice?
[21:02] <Soren_> Like modding the interface?
[21:03] <n0b> Well im on xubuntu, right now so im guessing ill need a wm or VM
[21:06] <n0b> ?
[21:07] <knome> n0b, what's your native language?
[21:07] <n0b> thats private, can you help me or what?
[21:08] <knome> i'm not really sure what you are after. the image seems to have several terminals open and running some scripts
[21:08] <Unit193> We're having problems understanding you.
[21:08] <Unit193> !fr
[21:10] <n0b> Okay well firstly then, how do run a .lua
[21:10] <Janeks991____> n0b oracle virtulbox google
[21:10] <Janeks991____> for virtual machine
[21:12] <n0b> so say I wanted to run windows do I want to download the one called "VirtualBox 4.2.18 for Windows hosts "
[21:13] <knome> n0b, if you have linux installed, then no.
[21:13] <knome> n0b, the OS you are running inside the virtualbox is called the guest system.
[21:13] <knome> n0b, the one that you run virtualbox on is the host system
[21:14] <knome> n0b, if you want to install virtualbox on xubuntu, install that from the repositories
[21:14] <knome> n0b, sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[21:14] <n0b> sudo apt-get install virtualbox ?
[21:14] <n0b> ah you beat me too it
[21:15] <Soren_> Knome. rice is allmost like editing explorer.exe in windows
[21:15] <knome> Soren_, heh. and like changing the theme in xubuntu? :)
[21:16] <Soren_> Almost :p
[21:16] <Soren_> When you got rice, you have the start menu on right click
[21:16] <Soren_> Its like linux. I just dont remember whats its called :p
[21:17] <Janeks991____> how do I delete hamsi file manager
[21:17] <Janeks991____> I have an app can't find terminal, synaptic
[21:18] <knome> Janeks991____, how did you install it?
[21:18] <Janeks991____> don't remmeber
[21:19] <knome> Janeks991____, if you installed it from the repositories, then remove it from a package manager. if you installed it some other way, check the uninstallation notes/instructions from the source
[21:19] <Soren_> shrinking volume is so slow in windows for some reason :s
[21:21] <knome> ok, i'm off to watch a movie
[21:21] <knome> good luck everybody
[21:21] <Janeks991____> you do it with windows tools
[21:21] <Janeks991____> ?
[21:21] <Soren_> Yes, the disk manager
[21:22] <Soren_> I closed the window down because it seemed to be done
[21:23] <Janeks991____> it is mad to use them, you can loose everything suddenly :
[21:23] <Janeks991____> atleast that happened to my noobness
[21:24] <Unit193> Generally good to backup, and confirm what you're doing.
[21:24] <Soren_> but when i open the diskmanager now it just say connecting to virtual disk service
[21:25] <Soren_> Unit193: yes, it is backed up :)
[21:25] <Soren_> no problem
[21:33] <Janeks991____> google still wants me to read in russian
[21:39] <Soren_> anyone know why diskmanagement just says: "connecting to virtual disk service" ?
[21:40] <Janeks991____> microsoft wants your files?
[21:44] <felix__> hola!
[21:44] <felix__> cual es el pasword por defecto de root?
[21:45] <lderan> es!
[21:45] <lderan> mmm wrong ubottu command
[21:45] <Unit193> !es
[21:46] <lderan> ah thanks Unit193
[21:46] <Unit193> lderan: So close!
[22:48] <sp00ky> how can I get the volume icon back in the notification area?
[22:52] <mkmanifesto> Hello everyone! Would any here have documentation regarding xubuntu 12.04 and how to get MTP to work?
[22:59] <sp00ky> does anyone know how I can get my notification area back?  when I try to add it to the panel it's greyed out.
[23:00] <Unit193> What'd you do that made it go away?
[23:12] <XRS1> probably right clicked and selected remove would be my guess
[23:50] <Clownswor> Hello guys, I was hoping i could get some assitance with possibly some good links/websites to go to to learn generic stuff about ubunutu. Im sick of windows and wanna try Linux out
[23:50] <Clownswor> as far as Experience goes, i have none. I have plenty of time to learn tho.
[23:58] <Azelphur> Ubuntu :P
[23:58] <Azelphur> Clownswor: in all honesty, the best way to learn is to make Ubuntu your daily driver, use it for everything possible, you'll learn pretty rapidly.
