[02:25] <danjg> hello, whenever my laptop gets hot, it is automatically forced tp shut down, is there any way to disable this feature?
[02:26] <Hassen> danjg, disassemble it and clean it up
[02:26] <danjg> I don't understand...
[02:27] <Hassen> danjg, especially the CPU spot,where you find the Fans,etc
[02:27] <danjg> clean it up?
[02:27] <cfhowlett> danjg, screwdriver, open, clean vents
[02:27] <Hassen> danjg, clean your laptop,open it's lower cover and clean it
[02:27] <Hassen> dooooh...I need better english skills
[02:27] <danjg> the fan is broken
[02:27] <Hassen> danjg, LMFAO
[02:28] <danjg> so I don't think cleaning it would have much effect
[02:28] <Hassen> danjg, what makes you sure about that?
[02:28] <danjg> because it stopped suddenly with a puff of smoke and hasn't ran since
[02:28] <cfhowlett> danjg, so DON'T turn it on!
[02:28] <danjg> don't turn my laptop on?
[02:29] <Hassen> danjg, when using your laptop,put it on a flat sold surface so it gets cooled with the air around the lower laptop's body
[02:29] <Hassen> don't use it on e.g pillow
[02:29] <cfhowlett> danjg, seriously, what are you thinking.  It has a fan cuz high temps are bad.  BAD for electronics
[02:29] <danjg> ik, but I can't help it
[02:29] <Hassen> danjg, go to the computer-repair sho and replace the fan
[02:29] <danjg> I would just like to use my computer for more then 10 mins at a time
[02:29] <Hassen> fans are essential for PCs
[02:30] <Hassen> ortherwise you will smell burned stuff
[02:30] <cfhowlett> danjg, buy a replacement fan or start saving now to replace the whole thing.  Fan is cheaper by the way.  Do you also keep driving your car when the "check oil" light comes on?
[02:30] <danjg> I don't have a car
[02:30] <danjg> so, back to the question, there's no way to do that?
[02:30] <Hassen> nah.. danjg seems to be a cute little kid :)
[02:31] <Hassen> why driving cars
[02:31] <Hassen> danjg, aren't the lines we were writing enough???
[02:31] <cfhowlett> danjg, puff of smoke is a sign from god that you're doing it wrong ...
[02:31] <Hassen> cfhowlett, nie one
[02:31] <Hassen> *nice one
[02:32] <danjg> yes, I understand that, but I really don't want to repair a $20 laptop
[02:32] <danjg> and I would like to get all I can out of it
[02:32] <cfhowlett> danjg, it's smoking and you want more?  good luck with that.
[02:33] <danjg> I just came to see if I could disable it, but if you don't want to help me... :(
[02:33] <cfhowlett> danjg, trying to laugh WITH you here.  Since you're treating the lappy as a disposable/replaceable unit, do what you want and plan for the very sudden death which, based on your user habits, is sure to come soon.
[02:35] <Hassen> wow..I would think SERIOUSELY about it once i see a 'smoke' in the whole movie
[02:36] <danjg> it isn't smoking
[02:36] <Hassen> then what?drugging?
[02:36] <Hassen> or burning?
[02:36] <danjg> it works fine, just the fan doesn't
[02:36] <Hassen> danjg, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
[02:36] <cfhowlett> lolol
[02:37]  * Hassen throws his keyboard on danjg ...but the keyboard is broken while danjg 's head seems health
[02:37] <Hassen> *healthy
[02:37]  * cfhowlett thinks this THIS! is why I check into IRC instead of watching television
[02:37] <Hassen> VIVA IRC :DDDDDDDD
[02:38] <danjg> thanks for the laptop advice, but I just would really like to know how to disable the auto-shutdown
[02:38] <Hassen> I think that i'll make videos about my adventures in IRC
[02:38] <Hassen> it will be a good idea for youtube world!
[02:39] <cfhowlett> danjg, auto shutdown is there to prevent immediate/serious damage to your unit ... and it would be irresponsible and potentially legally liable of us to help you disable a SAFETY FEATURE!
[02:39] <Hassen> danjg, watch   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS3ZxOtTD5A
[02:39] <Hassen> that's how to do it
[02:42] <danjg> I didn't see any mention of turning off the feature in the video...
[02:42] <danjg> but thanks anyway :/
[02:54] <kreuger> hey all
[02:54] <cfhowlett> kreuger, greetings
[02:54] <kreuger> Im having some trouble logging into my desktop which is running ubuntu 12.10 (I believe)
[02:55] <cfhowlett> !details
[02:55] <kreuger> I just get the spinning icon that shows it's loading. I've tried ctrl+alt+f1/2/3/4 to try and get a terminal but cant. It happened before and I was able to get the terminal. It seems to be a driver issue?
[02:55] <kreuger> Also, I think I've got LightDM on it
[02:59] <kreuger> I remember trying to use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but nothing would happen when I ran it, even as root. This computer has been down for so long because I keep putting it off, but I really need it back.
[03:04] <kreuger> any ideas?
[03:07] <cfhowlett> kreuger, suggest you bring the query to #ubuntu ... more eyes in the channel
[03:08] <kreuger> ok thanks
[04:32] <cygnus> o/
[04:32] <Guest89688> anyone alive?
[04:33] <Guest89688> im guessing 64 bit intel isnt supported? :/
[07:45] <Geoff1000> Morning chaps, is there a good 'expose' like program?
[07:45] <Geoff1000> I used to use scale on compiz which worked quite well but I don't use compositing any longer
[07:45] <Geoff1000> as speed is the name of the game
[07:50] <koegs> Geoff1000: skippy-xd
[07:51] <koegs> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/07/skippy-xd-expose-like-window-picker-for.html
[07:51] <Geoff1000> it's slow for me and I can't work out how to expose all the windows for a single app
[07:52] <Geoff1000> in the Compiz app, I could do this - I tend to have loads of terminal windows open
[07:52] <Geoff1000> and recognise which is which by the content, something I could do with a thumbnail
[08:36] <xubuntu255> hello
[08:37] <xubuntu255> my software center opens and then closes before it finishes loading
[08:37] <xubuntu255> i get this message
[08:37] <xubuntu255> E:Malformed line 41 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[08:37] <xubuntu255> can anyone help me?
[08:38] <koegs> xubuntu255: would you nopaste the file /etc/apt/sources.list?
[08:38] <koegs> !paste | xubuntu255
[08:39] <elfy> pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:39] <elfy> from a terminal
[08:39] <elfy> sorry koegs - missed your post ...
[11:57] <jarnos> thunar makes me mad
[11:59] <jarnos> I don't know, if I should cry or laugh
[12:00] <jarnos> If you disable menubar in menu, how do you enable it thereafter?
[12:01] <jarnos> There are much more issues with it, but I like its custom actions.
[12:02] <Sysi> do you get view-submenu if you press Alt V?
[12:03] <koegs> ctrl + m should work
[12:03] <jarnos> koegs, thanks
[12:06] <jarnos> Otherwise, I find pcmanfm more robust, intuitive and less buggy than thunar.
[12:06] <koegs> i like thunar most for no obvious reason
[12:08] <jarnos> As long as I can remember, thunar has had problems in auto-mounting USB drives.
[12:09] <jarnos> Several years! So basic function. Never have had that issue with pcmanfm.
[12:09] <koegs> never hat mounting problems with thunar
[12:10] <Sysi> I've never had issues with mounting, unmounting has been blocked by thumbnail daemon couple times
[12:12] <jarnos> Could it be that I have both pcmanfm and thunar installed? Does their automounting systems somehow interfere each other?
[12:17] <jarnos> Thunar's auto-mount works if and only if I have enabled it in pcmanfm's preferences!
[12:18] <jarnos> koegs, there should be GUI way to enable menu.
[13:21] <jarnos> I added some new bug reports about thunar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&assignee_option=any&field.assignee=&field.bug_re

[18:28] <Dan_D> Ok, not to be stupid, but i appear to have replaced the battery icon at the top right with a bluetooth icon. Owing to a lack of having bluetooth, and a need to see my battery life, how do I replace it?
[18:28] <Dan_D> *I
[18:30] <well_laid_lawn> Dan_D:  did you change icon sets ?
[18:30] <Dan_D> No
[18:31] <Dan_D> Not as far as I know
[18:33] <Dan_D> I just noticed the two were switched
[18:38] <Dan_D> I still cannot even find a way to configure at plugin at all...
[18:42] <fartface> I'm trying to dual boot xubuntu and windows 7.  The installer goes through fine, but then it just boots straight into Windows, no grub menu.  When I try to run the boot-repair, I've got a paste from it, but it didn't seem to have any effect, I still can't see grub.
[18:43] <fartface> Even when I manually try to install grub, nothing shows up, it just carries on and boots straight to Windows.
[18:43] <fartface> Anyone have any ideas?
[19:14] <ObrienDave> reboot, then press F8, see if you get a dual boot menu
[19:15] <ObrienDave> F8 after post
[19:16] <ObrienDave> lol, that's what I get for snoozing ;P
[21:46] <zbrkcbr> hi guys I need help how can I write an iso file to usb with terminaal
[21:58] <LordNed> Hey all, I'm trying to install Xubuntu Desktop x64 v 12.10 onto a USB drive, and when I attempt to boot after install I get the "Gave up waiting for root device." - I've tried waiting and then typing exit but that doesn't work
[22:01] <LordNed> This is the output from boot-repair http://paste.ubuntu.com/6585714/ which didn't resolve my issue when I took the reccomended action.
[22:42] <daiatlus79> Hello all!!
[22:43] <daiatlus79> How is everyone?
