[01:47] Slightly different spacing, character widths, and curves. [02:54] Hi [03:01] Why does Xubuntu lag so much? [03:02] I removed Nouveau and the lag is gone, but I'm stuck at 800x600 [03:05] I run nvidia drivers on dual-monitor setup, 1920x1080 & 1600x900, I'm using "nvidia-319-updates" package on xubuntu 13.10 -- no lag whatsoever [03:06] It's not as bad a unity Ubuntu, but there's pretty horrific draw bugs and software manager lags just animating icons [03:07] that sounds like a driver incompatibility. Which driver are you using, and is it compatible with your video card? [03:09] It's Nouveau [03:09] mushrooman: what video card do you have? [03:09] Geforce 4 MX 440 [03:10] that's the problem [03:10] you need the drivers version 96.xx [03:11] those, i think, are for the 2.6.32* kernel series (circa xubuntu 10.04) - is that right? [03:12] give me one sec... all he needs to do is add new PPA.. i just don't remeber wish ones [03:21] I looked in "additional drivers" and there's nothing [03:49] mushrooman: i would try the vesa driver [03:50] mushrooman: maybe the xswat ppa is what xub350 was referring to [04:26] how do i add a picture for my account so it shows up in the login screen?

TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287] [06:35] anyone? [06:39] run into a similar issue myself with a different usb modem (G3), only has windows drivers, never got it to work [06:40] is this similar, or does yours actually have a linux driver [06:43] nope although it is supposed to use ath9k_htc [06:44] when I checked using dmesg in the CLI it showed that it couldn't retrieve the firmweare [06:45] er, typo! firmware [06:45] sudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc gives what? [06:46] got a bit of a problem, I just dicovered that i messed up with the root password so I can't use SU [06:47] forgotten my root password, jees will i have to reinstall xubuntu [06:47] ? [06:47] does your user have sudo access? If you do, you enter your own password, not root's password, and you can log in with root using "sudo su -" [06:47] sudo -i [06:48] ok, i'll try that now [06:48] worked! [06:49] modprobe givessudo modprobe -v ath9k_htc nothing === Guest61157 is now known as mapps [06:52] i mean running that command in the terminal results in nothing [06:54] ehm, the wireless adpater works, I just tried it on Windows 7 on another machine.... and on openSUSE 13.1 too [06:54] but I would like to get it working on xubuntu to use with this machine [06:57] It's in the kernel, don't know why it shouldn't work, but then again never used the device. [06:58] You could try posting on the forums or askubuntu. [07:05] OK unit193, you're probably right...... It doesn't seem to work on kernels above 3.10... I just updated openSUSE with linux kernel 3.12 and it won't work there either [07:13] exit [08:42] Hot dog! I can print from MS Word inside Xubuntu. [10:37] Hello everyone, I have a problem with xubuntu. I am not an expert, just an former windows user. When I start xubuntu, it stops and there is a message in the screen "out of range" I tried to search a solution in google but I couldnt... [10:37] the message is displayed by your monitor screen, not by ubuntu itself [10:38] it means that the resolution that your xubuntu is set too is too hight for your monitor to display [10:38] try running it in the safe mode and changing to the right resolution for your screen [10:41] Ok, I try that way I have to check internet to know how.. Now i start xubuntu from usb and it works, I try from here. Thanks for you answer. [10:41] I think if you press esc at the boot, it should show you a menu where you can choose to boot in rescue mode [10:43] Ok, I try. Thank you. I'm very lost on this issues... [10:48] esc? I thought the menu is brought up by holding shift or something [10:58] sound applet doesn't show proper indication of volume, it doesn't show "bar" to increase/decrease volume, how to fix that? [11:03] ovrflw0x: bug 1208204 [11:03] bug 1208204 in indicator-sound (Ubuntu) "indicator-sound no longer functions with xfce4-indicator-plugin" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1208204 === Makdaam_ is now known as Makdaam [11:09] elfy, which fix should i go for? [11:11] is #5 fix okay? [11:15] or will updating fix this issue? elfy [11:17] there is no updated fix yet ovrflw0x [11:18] so should i go for #5 fix?

[11:20] ovrflw0x: using that fix any update to it will change the file as required [11:21] so no need to worry right? [11:22] should be ok - but if an update to it occurs which breaks it redo the fix, though I don't think it's likely [11:23] how will i know if update breaks it? [11:23] this issue is thus far the only thing that has effected my 13.10 install... at least the fix is easy :) [11:23] if an update breaks it you'll have no vol indicator again [11:24] k === azeam_afk is now known as azeam [15:26] Hello guys. I have a problem here: The software update window appears here saying that there are 68,5MB to be downloaded, but when I click to install it, it says that I don't have permission. What should I do? [15:33] open terminal, run these commands: [15:33] sudo apt-get update [15:33] sudo apt-get upgrade [15:33] close the software update window...you don't need it [15:34] well... here is the thing, I've done that. [15:34] try this: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:35] but this window keeps popping up saying that there are the 68,5MB to be installed. but when I go through terminal, says that nothing was installed and 4 were not updated. [15:36] did you try the dist-upgrade command? [15:36] just did, seems to have worked. [15:36] I feel your pain. I like the software update window to review updates, etc...but on 13.10 it seems to have been borked [15:37] zukeprime, can you explain me what does this command line dist-upgrade means? [15:37] zukeprime, yeah, since I upgraded I've had a lot of issues so far. [15:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto [15:39] zukeprime, and thanks for your help by the way. [15:39] dist-upgrade is not distribution upgrade...it basically is a smarter conflict resolution scheme [15:40] so when conflicts are encountered in a regular upgrade, the dist-upgrade prioritizes so to speak [15:40] np [15:40] haha yeah, the name got me confused. [15:40] thanks, have a good day! [15:41] np Bosi you too [15:43] zukeprime, where should i put service for systemd in which dir? [15:46] lol. you've quickly exceeded my skill level. No idea [15:47] sorry my friend. I help where I can...and for this I cannot [15:53] zukeprime, how can i be your friend when i haven't even seen you [15:53] ok then. Sorry pal. lol [15:55] not even pal [15:55] it is same as friend [16:35] regular install image wouldn't work, used alternate image for 12.04, it booted to terminal, looked online for solution, followed directions without thinking, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, now I have ubuntu instead of xubuntu, what do? [16:38] wrongOS: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntuprecise [16:38] will remove ubuntu-desktop, instal xubuntu-desktop [16:39] thank you. so I do that and then do what I did before but with xubuntu-desktop? [16:39] Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with the XFCE session. Everytime I restart my pc, it reopens everything that was left opened. I already unmarked the options in "Session and Startup" and clicked to clean sessions saved. And already used the command rm -rfv ~/.cache/sessions/ ... What else am I missing? It is so fuckin annoying to have all my applications left open re-opening on startup. [16:41] wrongOS: if you copy paste the command to remove ubuntu it alos includes the one to install xubuntu-desktop [16:41] ah, rad. thank you very much, have a good one [16:41] wrongOS: so start the machine - open a terminal and run it :) [17:11] Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with the XFCE session. Everytime I restart my pc, it reopens everything that was left opened. I already unmarked the options in "Session and Startup" and clicked to clean sessions saved. And already used the command rm -rfv ~/.cache/sessions/ ... What else am I missing? It is so fuckin annoying to have all my applications left open re-opening on startup. [17:11] I am about to erase & start over. There's a menu selection in the main menu that is not there, when I go to try to change its properties under "Main Menu" [17:11] Bosi, please watch your language; this is a family-friendly channel [17:12] knome, sorry man. [17:12] Bosi: how do you restart your pc? [17:13] are you kidding me? [17:14] baizon: by clicking "restart"? is there any specific way to do it? [17:15] bosi. have you looked at settings-->session and startup-->session tab-->clear saved sessions [17:15] then save a clean session [17:16] whoops...sorry man. just saw it [17:16] Bosi: http://linux.die.net/man/1/xfce4-session-logout [17:17] Bosi: i've a script which does restart with the "--fast" parameter. This solved my problem [17:17] Bosi: something like "xfce4-session-logout --reboot --fast" [17:19] I mean, when I did all those things, when I restart, it doesn't reopen the applications. BUT, on the next time I restart, it reopens everything I left opened in that session. [17:19] baizon, I'll give it a try. [17:20] Bosi: yes had the same issue, this command fixed it for me [17:20] baizon, great, just finishing a download here, in 5 minutes I'll try it and see if it worked. [17:21] Bosi quick check. When you log out or restart the logout dialogue pops up. On it is a check box to save sessions. Have you checked that [17:21] thanks to all for the help, I really appreciate it. [17:25] I am having an issue with an icon for a program that is no longer installed, still showing up on the menu. I've tried deleting it via alacarte. It's still there. [17:27] Travis, did you remove that application via a normal package manager? [17:28] I don't think so [17:28] Let me post the error I am getting [17:28] !pastebin | Travis [17:28] Travis: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [17:29] Failed to execute command........... [17:29] gives me the entire thing. Yet there is nothing in the "Main Menu" editor to remove it. [17:29] Travis, can you answer the question i asked you so i can help you debug the problem? [17:30] Travis, what did you remove the application with? [17:30] I responded [17:30] read up [17:30] It appears there's an icon somewhere that was created that I can't find. [17:31] Travis, yes, sounds like that; but how did you remove the applications? [17:31] -s [17:31] I don't do command line stuff. [17:31] I don't remember how. [17:31] did you remove it with synaptic package manager? ubuntu software center? === azeam is now known as azeam_afk [17:32] What I am saying is that I may have created a shortcut that I can't find to remove. It looks like an uninstall gone wrong. [17:33] ok then, what's the application? [17:33] PlayOnLinux [17:34] try finding a .desktop file for that with catfish [17:34] I have it installed & want it kept that way, but want the shortcut created to disappear. I already have one that I like. [17:34] Did that [17:34] It's active. [17:34] am looking right at it. [17:35] baizon, so, I might have missed something [17:35] baizon, I restarted that way, it worked.... but do I always have to restart that way to make it work? Like, I clicked "restart" with a couple of applications oppened, and they were re-opened on the next session. [17:36] adding a row that says "NotShowIn=XFCE" should make that icon disappear from xubuntu's menus [17:36] Travis, ^ [17:36] That means it's still there [17:36] I can't alter that [17:36] Bosi: well, you can create a menu entry with a custom .desktop file. There you can put it and name it "reboot" for example [17:36] It's for an active program. [17:36] I will have to erase the entire OS and start over. [17:37] Travis, no. [17:37] Travis, adding that line will mean the icon won't show up in xubuntu's menus. [17:37] That means it's still there, just hidden. [17:37] baizon, bottom line... this is a really annoying bug, right? [17:37] I want it completely removed. [17:38] Travis, then delete the file [17:38] Bosi: yes :) [17:38] Travis, but if it's a .desktop file for an installed application, the next update will probably just bring it back. [17:39] baizon, haha thanks! [17:40] The only way to fix my problem is a total re-install [17:40] SOmething's that screwed up [17:41] Travis, nope, that's wrong. but if you think that's the easiest way for you, feel free to do that. [17:41] You aren't understanding the issue. [17:41] There is no .desktop file for this shortcut. [17:42] you just said there is and you have it open. [17:42] you aren't being logical [17:42] I think you're the one not being logical [17:42] There IS a .desktop file for PlayOnLinux that works. [17:42] Yet, it won't show up in the menu [17:43] The menu shortcut for it has failed and can't be altered via the "Main Menu" in "Menu Settings" for some reason. [17:43] THus, I have to reformat. [17:43] if you insist. [18:26] On saucy the first usb I plug in will not be automatically mounted. This happens everytime. It is annoying when I plug in my usb modem, because it does not prompt for PIN password, I have to unplug and plug again to get it work unless ofc I have plug in a usb before where it enabled the 'bug' [20:11] Hello, again [20:25] THis is strange.......I can view Windows shared folders on Xubuntu, but not the other way around. [20:34] Travis: Linux file managers (and tools like gigolo) tend to build in that support. MS doesn't play nicely with anyone else usually. [20:34] I've gotten it to play nice a while ago :( [20:34] Gotta figure out what I did. [20:35] Just need to get samba working properly on the linux side so windows sees it. [20:36] Haggard: Then setup a samba server. [20:36] Travis: Got them on the same workgroup? [20:36] I hate samba so I won't be able to help. I use ssh exclusively since I don't have a printing need. [20:37] Yes, let me re-install it. Hang on. [20:37] SOmeone give me a quick reminder on how to make it the same network. [20:37] I did it and forgot how :( [20:37] Damn memory bank is busted hihi [20:38] In /etc/samba/smb.conf [20:38] Unit193: You didn't ask him if he wanted to edit a text file. lol [20:39] Haggard: Would you prefer to help? [20:39] ok, I see my Windows machine on Xubuntu [20:39] Unit193: LOl. I already mentioned not using or liking samba, so no. [20:39] Through smb://, not the regular network. [20:40] time to go share a folder on the Xubuntu machine [21:04] ok after fooling around with other stuff, samba is working so that I can pull files from my Windows machine to my Xubuntu machine. [21:05] I shall fool around with this some more later. [21:05] Off to get some sustinence. [22:15] hey [22:15] i need some help [22:16] hey guys [22:16] xubuntu271: Just ask. [22:16] hoow I get a boner? [22:16] By immediately getting a life. [22:19] xubuntu271: Not the channel for that, please don't. [22:19] thanks [22:28] ok i installed a program in '/usr/share/program/' and now how do i link it to '/usr/bin/' so that it'll execute ? [22:30] gdos: sudo ln -s /usr/share/program/myprogram /usr/local/bin/myprogram [22:31] /usr/local/bin/ is in your default path. [22:33] ok. will set tell me what my default path is? [22:33] er, echo $PATH (nevermind, got it)
