glenrocki have a script that i want to run as root during the boot process to connect to my vpn.  how do i get that to autostart and run as root?02:25
zrutyWeather Update not working... it is a pity: I was enjoying that. hat can I do? It is not finding any city any more, it seems?02:25
holsteinzruty: test the network connection.. test the server that is trying to be contacted. specify city by zip02:26

glenrockthanks holstein02:26
holsteinglenrock: http://askubuntu.com/questions/290099/how-to-run-a-script-in-boot-as-root02:27
zrutyholstein: I am trying by ZIP but that probably won't work since I am not in the US. How can I check the server that is being tried to be contacted?02:29
holsteinzruty: ping it02:30
holsteinzruty: or, if it literally just stopped working, and it always has worked, maybe just give it some time and see if it comes back up02:31
zrutyholstein: Yeah I am fine with pinging it but I do not know which server is being tried to be contacted, so what to ping? BTW, It stopped working a few days ago already. How long should I wait...?02:33
holsteinzruty: as long as you want.. you can also try adding the applet back, or testing with another user to rule out your user config.. otherwise, give more details on what exactly it is you are using02:34
zrutyholstein: I have a computer at work where it stopped working, and a computer at home where it stopped working. I use xubuntu 12:04 LTS, and the applet called Weather Update stopped working  about a week ago. It says 'No Data'. I removed the applet from the bar and re-added it; it seems unable to find whatever city I try to search for. The Find button greys out for about 2 seconds, but no city is found, it just keeps showing 'Searching...' after the button comes 02:43
holsteinzruty: states that that had broken in the past with an upgrade02:45

neo2013cfhowlett thanks12:21
cfhowlettneo2013, be aware that gfx issues usually revolve around the gfx configuarations, i.e. Nvidia specific settings, etc.  Switching distros probably won't fix that without some attention on your part.  BUT if the issue was that you lacked the proper codecs ...12:25

neo2013thanks17:00
ozberkguys I'm using xubuntu and I have a strange problem. On the desktop right click menu opens a bit late17:01
TheSheepozberk: I had that!17:05
ozberkTheSheep: did you slove17:06
TheSheepozberk: after I removed the application menu from the panel, xubuntu was trying to re-generate the menu every time I opened it17:06
TheSheepozberk: I added the application menu back to the panel17:06
TheSheepozberk: and now it caches it properly again17:06
ozberkThe Sheep I just tried and didn't worked17:07
TheSheepmust be something else then17:08
ozberkit's also too mcuh laggy17:09
ozberkI guess xubuntu for the low spec pc'-s am I right ?17:10
ozberkI just updated the x.org17:10
ozberklook I know that my gpu is not powerfull enoıugh but17:11
ozberkit's cool with the 2D17:11
schrebernot necessarily for low spec. machines but for people wanting to get work done rather than deal with flashy issues or randomness of other DEs17:11
glenrockozberk: see if this helps:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/96216/right-click-on-xubuntu-home-screen-is-slow-is-it-normal17:11
TheSheepozberk: what graphics card drivers are you using?17:12
ozberkAsus EEE PC R 101 I gonna give a link17:12
TheSheepozberk: not what hardware, which driver17:12
ozberkx.org17:13
ozberkfor intel17:13
TheSheepozberk: because if it fell back to the vesa drivers, it's normal to be slow17:13
TheSheepxorg is the graphical environment17:13
ozberkhow can I see which driver do I using :S17:13
elfyozberk: I found that stopping the right click menu from using icons speeded it up a bit when I had the same issue, though I'd follow TheSheep and the graphic card thing first17:15
ozberkelfy I get it but  I need to know  which fdriver do I using now17:16

TheSheepyou are using the intel driver, that's good17:19
TheSheepdid you try disabling display compositing in  settings manager -> window manager tweaks -> compositing ?17:20
ozberknope17:20
TheSheepthat can help at the cost of not displaying shadows and transparent windows17:20
schreberAnyone w/ a similar Thunar experience or is it truly random?17:21
ozberkI'm using compositing without all of those shadows accutaly17:21
TheSheepschreber: similar to what?17:21
TheSheepschreber: oh, closing17:22
TheSheepschreber: check your ~/.xsessionerrors17:22
elfyschreber: I've not noticed anything like that17:22
schreberokay I'll do that17:22
ozberkok17:22
ozberkI did that17:23
ozberkits looks like better than before17:23
schrebernot seeing anything out of the ordinary as far as I can tell at least.17:24
TheSheepschreber: you can also try killing thunar, starting it from a terminal and then making it crash to see the messages17:25
schreberokay17:25
TheSheepbut if the crashing is random, it can take a while17:26
TheSheepjust make sure you kill all thunar processes before starting it in a terminal17:26
TheSheepotherwise it doesn't run, just opens a new window in the already runnung thunar17:26
schreberno changes to the error log17:27
TheSheepschreber: no, the errors should now appear in the terminal in which thunar runs...17:29
ozberkhow can I set a quit message in the IRC channel17:29
TheSheepschreber: open a terminal and do "killall Thunar; thunar"17:30
elfyozberk: depends on the client - but quite often people don't want to see them :)17:30
TheSheepthen make it crash somehow...17:30
schreberwell I did say it was random, but I'll give it a go17:32
ozberkwow I did it :D17:32
schreberI'll just have to be more mindful of it when it crashes next17:33

ReaganomicsLamboGuys I have a question. Sometimes when I'm using 12.04 and I'm typing, my keyboard starts going crazy. It happens to me when I'm in the middle of coding, or if I have skype in the background, or I'm on IRC. For example, I could be hitting the backspace key and all of a sudden I would get an M. If I hit an arrow key, I'd end up getting a U or something. The only way to fix it is to close the app. Anyone know why this happens?22:56

geniijax23: The Blackberry backup system for linux?23:43

jax23yes23:44
jax23i display this message: "controller: requested mode not supported"23:45
jax23suggests?23:45
geniijax23: Is your Blackberry unlocked? That message usually comes because the company or ISP that has control of the handset pushed a security policy for it not to connect to the computer by USB23:46
geniiI am leaving soon, but may be able to assist you further tomorrow when I return.23:49
jax23ok thank you very much...23:50
Poisoned_Dragonwow, that's evil23:50
geniiPoisoned_Dragon: Many companies do this when the phone belongs to them. Also they can restrict pretty much anything else on the phone too, if they want, by pushing security policies out to them over-the-air23:51
Poisoned_DragonI know that. It just so big brother.23:52
Poisoned_DragonI had an old Nokia 3G flip phone. Had to reset the software in order to dump the t-mobile security settings.23:52
Poisoned_DragonBut,I digress. This is off-topic.23:52
