| kgb | guys, is there a (specific?) reason why the kernel isn't the latest?!?? https://www.kernel.org/ says 3.11.6 && Saucy says: 3.11.0-12-generic | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| kgb | or am I missing something :-0 | 00:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | um... that's just typical. | 00:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | 3.11.0 is the kernel release for 13.10 | 00:08 |
| kgb | Poisoned_Dragon: u talking to me?.. help me out, pls. :-) | 00:08 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | You're welcome to update the kernel yourself, if you're savvy. | 00:09 |
| kgb | is there a PPA, or a reason why the kernel is lagging behind? o.0 | 00:09 |
| kgb | *official ppa, ofc. | 00:09 |
| Pici | !latest | 00:09 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 00:09 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | It's never the latest kernel, unless you want it to be that way. | 00:09 |
| xyzone | 3.10 is a lts kernel, 3.11 isnt | 00:09 |
| kgb | xyzone: pretend i'm ignorant, pls - and let me know y this is so?.. | 00:10 |
| xyzone | kgb, that's how the linux kernel is being released | 00:10 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | If you really want to use the latest kernel, The folks over at #ubuntu+1 might be more helpful. | 00:10 |
| Pici | No they won't. | 00:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | really? | 00:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | I thought they would be the ones tinkering with new things | 00:11 |
| Pici | The 14.04 toolchain was just released, 14.04 looks just like 13.10 right now. | 00:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | Oh... too bad | 00:11 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | thanks for the info, Pici | 00:12 |
| Pici | np | 00:12 |
| kgb | so is there a general reason, for not having a closer-to-newest kernel? | 00:12 |
| kgb | like video, or something :p | 00:13 |
| kgb | * o: | 00:13 |
| kgb | (sry didn't mean to type ":P") | 00:13 |
| Pici | !latest | kgb | 00:16 |
| ubottu | kgb: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

| Unit193 | !highno | 00:21 |
| ubottu | A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 00:21 |
| kgb | && ty :) | 00:32 |
| * kgb tries 2 write down all of the b0t CMDs | 00:32 | |

| nicklas_ | hello, i think there is a bug in the new xubuntu. when i ran the live xubuntu 13.10 64 bit, the volume applet in panel shows its on mute, and when i click it, i get an empty little white line. i thought it would get fixed after installing, but its still the same after doing all updates. i still have sound though, checked with youtube. so how to fix this? | 08:04 |
| Proshot | i have a strange problem, is there a difference between the cofiguration of the xserver on xubuntu and ubuntu, or are there other things different which could explain that video playback with smplayer on xubuntu gives me some strange glitches if like my video playback is splited for a split second, also panning movements seems to render very ugly. | 08:21 |
| Proshot | otherwise i am very happy with xubuntu :) | 08:22 |
| Proshot | brb, have to reboot | 08:27 |

| bgardner | I've been trying to figure this out myself and I just can't. For 23-30 seconds after login, all keystrokes under Settings->Keyboard->Application Shortcuts do not respond. At the end of the 23-30 second delay, any keys pressed during that time do what you expect, all at once (e.g. Push Ctrl-Alt-T 5 times to open a terminal window, at the end of the delay five windows open). I have multiple Xubuntu workstations (a mix of Quantal | 14:49 |
| bgardner | and Raring) that all exhibit this behavior. Note: Keystrokes under Settings->Window Manager->Keyboard do NOT exhibit this behavior, and work instantly on login. | 14:49 |

| phoo | Hello all! Anyone know of a solution to xscreensaver sometimes dying? It doesn't crash X like I keep finding online, it's just xscreensaver will die and my screens will unlock. Then, clicking on "lock screen" again does nothing because the screensaver isn't working. This is xubuntu 13.10 with two dual nvidia cards Quadro FX 580 (four displays) using NVIDIA driver version 319.32, which was the one listed as "tested" during xubuntu 13.04 LTS inst | 17:26 |
| phoo | all. | 17:26 |
| phoo | the screensaver I'm using is GLslideshow. | 17:27 |
| baizon | phoo: 12.04 or 13.04? because 13.04 wasn't LTS | 17:28 |
| phoo | fabulous question. I'm actually not 100% sure now because I know I meant to download the LTS and I believe that's what I ... Hold on. | 17:29 |
| phoo | of course I deleted the iso from my old drive. I'll see if I can find out from mounting the disc. | 17:30 |
| phoo | (confusion because I meant to get 12.04 LTS but then think I saw 13.04 later... I do know I'm running 13.10 now if that's an indicator.) | 17:31 |
| phoo | meh. Yeah, I downloaded 13.04 according to volume label on the dvd. :shrug: | 17:32 |
| dont-panic | How do you change which browser opens links from the terminal? | 17:34 |
| dont-panic | I tried to change it in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list or whatever, but that didn't seem to work | 17:34 |
| Sysi | settings -> preferred applications | 17:35 |
| Sysi | settings manager that is | 17:35 |
| dont-panic | Sysi: that already is set to chromium | 17:39 |
| dont-panic | it keeps opening the links in firefox, but i only use firefox for one thing and chromium for everything else | 17:39 |
| Sysi | ugh I remember that happening.. but how did I fix it | 17:40 |
| dont-panic | I've been googling like crazy but can't seem to find anything... It wouldn't have anything to do with terminators settings would it? | 17:41 |
| Sysi | I don't know about terminator, but removing some line from mimeapps.list was what did it for me | 17:42 |
| dont-panic | Sysi: you don't have to do anything to make it recognize the changes in mimeapps.list do you? | 17:43 |
| dont-panic | also what does it say for your x-scheme-handling/http= line and https= line? | 17:44 |
| Sysi | I don't think so, but you can try logging out and back in | 17:44 |
| Sysi | I'm not on xfce right now | 17:44 |
| dont-panic | Sysi: trying to avoid that... I'm not on xfce either | 17:44 |
| dont-panic | Sysi: is this something the window manager handles? | 17:44 |
| Sysi | I think I had 2 lines for x-scheme-handler when I had the problem | 17:45 |
| dont-panic | maybe that's why... I'm using awesome wm | 17:45 |
| Sysi | dont-panic: it should be exo, but I'm not sure if that's the case outside xfce4-terminal | 17:45 |
| dont-panic | yeah, I changed mine to say chromium-browser.desktop and cp'd the chromium-browser.desktop file to that directory | 17:47 |
| dont-panic | not sure why that doesn't work | 17:47 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | what distro are you running awesome wm on? | 17:48 |

| Poisoned_Dragon | I'm just asking to see if it's xubuntu. Then he can run exo-preferred-applications | 17:50 |

| Sysi | he's done that, doesn't work | 17:51 |
