| nuf0xx | any advice on wheather or not to upgrade to kernel 3.9.x to fix a card reader issue? | 00:57 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's hard to say. The last time I had a card reader issue was in arch. I don't think it was the kernel. | 00:58 |
| nuf0xx | I have confirmed that the issue with my reader is fixed in the 3.9 kernel. just wondering if it may cause othe unforseen issues. Is it stable? | 00:59 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh.... | 01:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I try not to update the kernel beyond the version included in a release. I'm not that savvy yet. | 01:02 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, it can be done. I've seen people do it sucessfully. | 01:03 |
| xabster | tumblerd crashes all the time | 01:07 |
| xabster | is it needed? | 01:07 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Well, it shouldn't crash all the time. | 01:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | But, it's not super critical. | 01:09 |
| xabster | it's annoying is what it is :) | 01:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's just a thumbnailer for picture and video files. | 01:09 |
| xabster | besides, it crashes before it generates any thumbnails | 01:09 |
| xabster | so, why have it? | 01:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Are you by chance accessing videos from a share? | 01:09 |
| xabster | no | 01:09 |
| xabster | it's a torrent downloaded video clip | 01:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | That's when it use to crash for me. | 01:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh! | 01:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Same difference. | 01:10 |
| xabster | hmm | 01:10 |
| xabster | I reboot many times since | 01:10 |
| xabster | the file is still just a file... | 01:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | The thumbnailer cycles through the file for thumbnails as it's downloading. | 01:10 |
| xabster | on the harddrive | 01:10 |
| xabster | it's been correctly and fully downloaded for long now | 01:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | eventually, it gets tired | 01:10 |
| xabster | sudo apt-get remove tumbler ? | 01:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | worst case, sudo apt-get remove tumblerd | 01:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | lol, jinx | 01:11 |
| xabster | :) | 01:11 |
| xabster | i | 01:11 |
| xabster | i'm scared now | 01:11 |
| xabster | "Removing xubuntu-desktop ... | 01:11 |
| xabster | " | 01:11 |
| xabster | it said that | 01:11 |
| xabster | oh, i guess that's an "umbrella" kind of package | 01:12 |
| xabster | because i no longer have ALL the standard packages in that "group", it removes it | 01:13 |
| xabster | and leaves me with each package individually? | 01:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh, the meta-package | 01:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm told those are safe to delete. But, I get kinda scared. | 01:13 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | When I delete meta-packages, sudo apt-get autoremove wants to remove all kinds of things that I still use. | 01:14 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm on the fence about meta packages. | 01:14 |
| xabster | hmm | 01:14 |
| gdos | is it possible to use symbolic links (either hard or soft) to point from /var/www/doc (http://localhost/doc) to file://localhost/usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html ...??? | 02:15 |
| `Fibz` | nnot sure what your trying to accomplish but yes, a symbolic link is usable. maybe an entry into the hosts file might be needed based on whatever it is your trying to do | 02:18 |
| xabster | gdos, you want http://localhost/doc to load a file that is not in var/www ? | 02:23 |
| gdos | yes dhelp is not loading the files in /var/www/doc/HTML as per the description but rather /usr/share/doc/HTML instead. | 02:24 |
| gdos | i used 'sudo ln -s /usr/share/doc/HTML /var/www/help' and it nearly did it. sorta. but everything did not appear to link correctly. | 02:31 |

| xabster | hah, chrome crashed and gave a report, then apport crashed trying to show me the report, and the lsb_release crashed | 04:18 |
| holstein | xabster: chrome? or chromium? | 04:22 |
| xabster | chromium | 04:23 |
| holstein | xabster: in 13.04? | 04:23 |
| xabster | yes | 04:23 |
| gdos | how do i install seamonkey? | 04:35 |
| holstein | !info seamonkey | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Package seamonkey does not exist in raring | 04:36 |
| holstein | gdos: i think its been removed.. what are you trying to do? | 04:36 |
| gdos | holstein: install it. i actually prefer that browser over ff/chromium. | 04:37 |
| holstein | gdos: it bascially is firefox.. but, you'll need to manually install it, or find an un-offically supported ppa | 04:37 |
| holstein | gdos: you'll see links to ppa's and other references at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey | 04:38 |
| gdos | how'd manually install it? copy the installation directory over to /var? | 04:38 |
| holstein | gdos: i would visit the site where the creators make the application available, and follow whatever directions they offer.. or just add one of the ppa's.. or use a more supported browser | 04:39 |
| gdos | holstein: ok. i'm trying bratherlui's ppa | 04:42 |
| gdos | i prefer the email app in seamonkey over thunderbird. | 04:42 |
| holstein | gdos: as long as you are not expecting it to be an up to date, or well supported, or secure/safe product, do what you like | 04:43 |
| gdos | how hard is it to convert a tar.bz2 to a .deb file? | 04:55 |
| holstein | gdos: thats not the way it'll work | 05:00 |
| holstein | gdos: you might download something in a compressed format, and open it, and build it, and then you could make a package from that | 05:01 |
| holstein | gdos: i would just use a PPA | 05:01 |
| gdos | ok. | 05:01 |

| Megabyte | Hello, guys | 10:39 |
| buu | Is there someway to change which libraries a dynamically linked executable uses? | 10:39 |
| Megabyte | I tried to unzip seamonkey, but when I run it, I get a "file not found error" | 10:40 |
| Megabyte | what is wrong? | 10:40 |
| buu | Megabyte: Paste the shell session in a pastebin | 10:40 |
| Megabyte | x@Amber:~/seamonkey$ ./seamonkey | 10:41 |
| Megabyte | bash: ./seamonkey: No such file or directory | 10:41 |
| Megabyte | buu, It's as simple as that... | 10:42 |
| Megabyte | the file *is* there, though | 10:42 |
| Megabyte | buu, what is going on? | 10:44 |
| buu | Megabyte: what is the first line of ./seamonkey ? | 10:51 |
| Megabyte | It's a binary file | 10:51 |
| buu | And why are you unzipping things? | 10:51 |
| Megabyte | buu, there's no package of seamonkey for xubuntu | 10:51 |
| Megabyte | so you must unzip a binary package | 10:51 |
| buu | Megabyte: what does 'file ./seamonkey' say? | 10:52 |
| Megabyte | x@Amber:~/seamonkey$ file ./seamonkey | 10:52 |
| Megabyte | ./seamonkey: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped | 10:52 |
| buu | Megabyte: Generally speaking that particular error means that linux can't figure out how to execute that file. Its either a binary it doesn't understand or an "interpreted file" with a shebang it can't find | 10:58 |
| buu | can you run strace ./seamonkey | 10:58 |
| elfy | works here ok - or would if it didn't have a libasound2 error | 10:59 |
| Megabyte | http://pastebin.com/4jwQZirJ | 11:02 |
| Megabyte | There it is | 11:02 |
| Megabyte | (Sorry, I'm using Links 2 for now) | 11:02 |
| buu | welp | 11:03 |
| buu | Megabyte: what is uname -a | 11:03 |
| Megabyte | Linux Amber 3.8.0-31-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 10 20:03:44 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 11:03 |
| buu | Does the x64 version work any better? | 11:04 |
| Megabyte | I didn't see any. Perhaps it is a little obscure to find? | 11:05 |
| bekks | buu: No. But 64bit is state of the art nowadays. | 11:11 |
| elfy | Megabyte: there is a 64bit version http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ - at the bottom, contributed | 11:15 |

| elfy | runs here ok | 11:16 |
| Megabyte | Thanks | 11:16 |
| Megabyte | elfy, I got the source package here, so I'll try to build from it | 11:20 |
| Megabyte | let's see if it works... | 11:20 |
| Megabyte | elfy, I intend to build a deb package. Is there any way I can make it available in the repository? | 11:46 |
| elfy | Megabyte: I don't know anything about ppa's other than people can do it I'm afraid | 11:51 |
| gregor3005 | hi, does anybody know a robust solution to disable the update notifier in xfce? i set that it should be displayed, also in gconf but it is show every time i did: sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update | 13:23 |
| cfhowlett | gregor3005, software center center > settings > software sources > updates > When there are updates ... | 13:25 |
| gregor3005 | cfhowlett: i can't disable it there | 13:28 |
| gregor3005 | cfhowlett: i can remove the ticks on "install updates from" but then i can't update in the background with "sudo apt-get upgradE" | 13:30 |
| olbi | is USC there is last option which you should choose: Never. It should help :) | 13:30 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: but this is only for new releases not for software updates | 13:30 |
| olbi | sorry, 1 option and change to never | 13:31 |
| olbi | this should never check the updates | 13:31 |
| olbi | so there will no be any notifications | 13:31 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: should but it doesn't do it in that way | 13:31 |
| olbi | unless you check this manually | 13:31 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: ah, ok maybe now i understand it | 13:31 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: but i think every time when "apt-get update" is running the notification is displayed, so also when new software will be installed it notifies you about new updates | 13:32 |
| olbi | yes :), you have ridht | 13:33 |
| olbi | but when you install it it will be gone | 13:33 |
| olbi | I have choose checking the updates one per week and it works | 13:33 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: ok, its the pc for my mother who has a prepaid internet access and there she has not much download volume. and i wan't to avoid that she installed updates | 13:34 |
| gregor3005 | olbi: so from time to time i come to here with my internet stick and install the updates | 13:34 |

| aicasn | this is totally OT so i apologize but i thought you folks might have a better idea.... i need to put a free office suite onto a lady's PC. does anyone know whether OOo or libreoffice works better on windows? thanks | 19:21 |
| Pici | aicasn: try asking in ##windows | 19:22 |
| aicasn | i shall try... | 19:22 |
| cub | aicasn: Better is depending on how you ask. I have run both with no issues, though I prefer libreoffice | 19:22 |
| cub | -how +who | 19:23 |
| aicasn | most compatible vs. MS office. this lady is older and not techie. if the program she uses to open her .docx files garbles them then the program isn't useful | 19:24 |
| bekks | aicasn: that may happen - blame it on M$. | 19:25 |
| cub | hmm then I'm not sure. I get some docx which opens in libreoffice, but layout and fonts might be different and not look so good sometimes | 19:25 |
| buu | Isn't libreoffice the newer/more maintained one | 19:27 |
| aicasn | MS is completely freekin retarded. They won't sell me a copy of Office 2010 for her. The want her to upgrade (pay $$) for Windows 8 (on her dual-core 1.2GHz, 512MB RAM dinosaur), then get her to buy a copy of Office Live | 19:27 |
| aicasn | i was on the phone for like 3 hours this morning looking for a little help. Nada | 19:28 |
| bekks | aicasn: Office 2010 isnt sold anymore by MS, and you may get it officially from various stores. And it is offtopic in here :) | 19:32 |

| Pop-Tart | Hiya! I just installed Xubuntu. I know this is a dumb question and I should Google more, but how do I change the color of the titlebar? Does a theme do that, or is it an option under Appearance? | 20:07 |
| buu | Pop-Tart: Have you tried settings -> appearance? | 20:08 |
| Pop-Tart | Yes, I've checked there. | 20:09 |
| knome | Pop-Tart, the xfwm themes mainly control the window borders. see under settings manager -> window manager -> tab style | 20:10 |
| buu | Isn't the top bar actually a panel? | 20:10 |
| knome | Pop-Tart, some xfwm themes allow the gtk themes (in settings manager -> appearance -> tab style) to manage the colors though | 20:11 |
| buu | oh | 20:11 |
| buu | Titlebar of windows? | 20:11 |
| Pop-Tart | Yes | 20:11 |
| buu | Heh, I thought you meant the top panel =] | 20:11 |
| Pop-Tart | I just want to change the color from white/grey to something darker/black, like the top panel. It hurts my eyes. | 20:12 |
| Pop-Tart | I still haven't managed to figure it out yet, but basically I just want this: http://i.imm.io/1iph8.png to look like this: http://i.imm.io/1iphp.png | 20:24 |
| `Fibz` | window manager -> themes , + panel options -> appearance | 20:26 |

| gregor30051 | hi, i have a problem with the networkconnection on an workstation, when i do "dhclient eth0" it works perfect. but when i configure the network with the network applet i didn't get any connection. also is it not possible to see my networkconfiguration in the applet to click on it | 20:37 |
| gregor30051 | in grayed text i see that the device is not managed. what should that mean? | 20:38 |
| `Fibz` | xubuntu version? | 20:38 |
| gregor30051 | `Fibz`: 13.04. clean installed and updated | 20:39 |
| `Fibz` | you can disable network manager from autostart and use /etc/network/interfaces instead | 20:43 |
| gregor30051 | `Fibz`: thx i try it | 20:45 |
| gregor30051 | `Fibz`: now i have dhcp automatically on that device but the applet configuration are not shown | 20:47 |
| `Fibz` | if you have a chance, try confirming it on a virtual machine or something and submit a bug report | 20:48 |
| `Fibz` | i've got a box running 13.04 32bit with internet access through eth0 with no issues over here | 20:50 |
| gregor30051 | `Fibz`: i found a solution and the cause: in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in the ifupdown section managed was set to false :-) | 20:52 |
| `Fibz` | ah | 20:52 |
| gregor30051 | `Fibz`: the next problem will be to fix the problem with the gsm usb stick | 20:53 |
