[01:08] <Monkeytoe> is there a terminal command to view the current search domain settings?
[01:12] <Frank> hi everyone.  I'm having a problem with Xubuntu 13.10, login screen keeps looping
[01:59] <Frank> hi everyone
[02:00] <Frank> question when i start my computer it goes to grub loader screen and i have to manually select "Ubuntu" to load my OS, I want it to load automatically without me doing anything
[02:00] <Frank> anyone know how to do this
[02:05] <puff> Evening.  I recently upgraded my laptop to ubuntu 13.10, then installed bumblebee.  If I log in under Unity I see that bumblebee is running, but under xubuntu, no bumblebee (dmesg | fgrep -i switch).
[02:05] <puff> How do I get bumblebee to run?
[02:06] <Unit193> Frank: diff -u /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub  what's different?
[02:08] <Unit193> puff: Oh, there's a session and startup thing you should look at.
[02:08] <Unit193> Settings manager >
[02:12] <puff> Unit193: Can you expand on that a bit?  I know about Settings Manager.
[02:13] <Unit193> "Session and Startup" is in the Settings Manager, and that's likely where you'll find Bumblebee.
[02:14] <Unit193> Oh, that's what that is, right...
[02:14] <Unit193> Did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[02:32] <puff> Unit193: I'll check there now...
[02:33] <puff> Unit193: No,no sign of it in there either.
[03:04] <Frank> Unit193 no the files are slightly different
[03:05] <Unit193> Mhmm, expected.
[03:06] <Frank> timeout=10 in usr/share/grub/default/grub
[03:06] <Frank> timeout="-1" in etc/default/grub
[03:07] <Unit193> Well there you go then.
[03:07] <Frank> what do i need to do to get it to boot automatically without having to select "Ubuntu" in grub loader
[03:08] <Frank> sorry I'm new to Xubuntu
[03:08] <Unit193> Well, if that's the only difference: sudo cp /usr/share/grub/default/grub /etc/default/grub && sudo update-grub
[03:10] <Frank> and that will make both files read timeout=10   ??
[03:11] <Unit193> It will copy /usr/share/grub/default/grub to /etc/default/grub
[03:12] <Frank> i know.
[03:15] <Frank> also one file says GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu" and the other says GRUB_DEFAULT=0
[03:15] <Frank> also #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT="0"
[03:15] <Frank> and the other is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[03:16] <Frank> so one is commented out and the other isn't
[03:17] <Frank> how come the files are in two different directories?
[03:18] <Frank> which one is loaded at boot time?
[03:19] <Unit193> /usr/share/grub/default/grub is system default, /etc/default/grub is what's used and someone/you must have edited it as well.
[03:20] <ObrienDave> may I suggest grub-customizer?
[03:20] <Frank> i did edit the etc/default/grub, but i wasn't aware of the other one
[03:20] <Frank> hi ObrienDave, i have that.   it didn't work
[03:20] <ObrienDave> k
[03:22] <Frank> thanks anyway ObrienDave.  i followed an online tutorial using grub-customizer.  but like i said didn't work
[03:23] <Frank> so Unit193, if i understand you correctly both instances of the file must be the same in order for grub to work properly?
[03:23] <ObrienDave> what's the value of GRUB_TIMEOUT
[03:23] <Unit193> No, not at all.
[03:23] <Frank> Obrien one file says 10 the other says -1
[03:24] <Frank> i changed it to -1 to get it to boot Ubuntu auto without having to press enter
[03:24] <ObrienDave> -1 will wait forever. set it to 0
[03:24] <Frank> which one should i set to 0
[03:25] <ObrienDave> the -1
[03:25] <Unit193> 0 = wait forever, set to 1 or something.
[03:26] <Frank> actually even set at 10 it doesn't load ever
[03:26] <Frank> it just waits forever for you to select "Ubuntu"
[03:26] <ObrienDave> because of the -1
[03:27] <Frank> it always did that even when it was set to 10
[03:28] <Frank> which file should i adjust /etc/default/grub or /usr/share/grub/default/grub ??
[03:32] <Unit193> Never edit /usr/share/grub/default/grub
[03:33] <Frank> Unit193 okay i never have, i've only ever edited /etc/default/grub
[03:35] <Frank> here is what /etc/default/grub looks like:
[03:35] <Frank> GRUB_DEFAULT="Ubuntu"
[03:35] <Frank> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT="0"
[03:35] <Frank> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET="true"
[03:36] <Frank> GRUB_TIMEOUT="1"
[03:36] <Frank> GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`"
[03:36] <Frank> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[03:36] <Unit193> !pastebin
[03:37] <Frank> ic sorry
[03:37] <Frank> here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/6592364/

[03:39] <Frank> ObrienDAve....excellent link
[03:52] <Frank> thanks ObrienDAve that link helped alot and i got it working
[03:53] <Frank> finally!!
[03:54] <ObrienDave> cool
[03:55] <Frank> yeah thanks again. I bookmarked that page.
[04:58] <burner> so how do I get magnet links to associate?  we need to file a xfce bug right since xdg-session doesn't handle magnets?
[05:03] <RipresaTecn> i do believe thats handled by the browser
[05:04] <RipresaTecn> as i had to set firefox to open transmission
[05:05] <phenom> anyone have luck streaming music to bluetooth speakers on 12.04?
[05:06] <burner> RipresaTecn: that works if you download .torrent files, but not for magnet links afaik
[05:07] <burner> phenom: like all your music?  try upgrading?  I know i had it working int he last year
[05:07] <burner> er... like all your audio from yoru computer that is?
[05:07] <phenom> yes
[05:08] <burner> yeah, i'm sure you can set the output device to a bluetooth output.  try this?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothAudio
[05:11] <burner> ooh... better still.  https://launchpad.net/stream2ip
[05:14] <RipresaTecn> no firefox can open magnet links burner
[05:16] <burner> oh... guess it's because i use chromium and it relies on xdg-open
[05:16] <burner> er... exo-open even
[05:16] <RipresaTecn> oh
[05:18] <burner> looks like i found the answer by editing xdg-open to add an exception for magnets to be handled explicitly, but that seems dirty
[05:19] <RipresaTecn> as i have no chrome xp i did some quick looking and found http://askubuntu.com/questions/108925/how-to-tell-chrome-what-to-do-with-a-magnet-link
[05:21] <burner> RipresaTecn: thanks... i'm using that now.  hope it doesn't bite me later.  I'm sure I'll forget i did this and it'll break something someday... but here's to living in the moment!
[05:21] <burner> :)
[05:22] <RipresaTecn> lol
[08:24] <MaximB> hello, just tried to install xubntu, after the installation the mice won't move on a LAPTOP, not the built in nor the attached usb
[08:24] <MaximB> and it moved on the installation
[09:30] <MaximB> major bug discovered on xubuntu install... when you create a new partition table and create a partition (/boot for example), if you click "format" the installer will crush
[09:42] <ObrienDave> what version?
[09:43] <MaximB> latest
[09:43] <MaximB> 13.10
[09:44] <ObrienDave> hmm, no problems here. I have installed it to VBox to check my VM settings
[09:44] <MaximB> strange, I got the iso from here: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[09:44] <MaximB> via torrent
[09:44] <elfy> MaximB: didn't see that while I Was running it in -dev - maybe run gparted on the live session first - then choose something else to just set the mounts
[09:44] <well_laid_lawn> did you check the iso ?
[09:45] <well_laid_lawn> !md5
[09:45] <elfy> if it is a bug - it's a bug with ubiquity though
[09:45] <MaximB> yes
[09:45] <MaximB> that's what it said
[09:45] <MaximB> even send a bug report
[09:45] <MaximB> ubiquity
[09:45] <xubuntu594> Hello
[09:46] <MaximB> maybe if any devs here, you could look at the bug report I autosubmitted
[09:48] <xubuntu594> Im trying to install xubuntu via a USB stick its installed but the screen is black when i reboot my pc anybody had a si;ilar problem?
[09:48] <elfy> I'm as far from a dev as the other end of the universe ;)
[09:48] <MaximB> but you seems to know stuff
[09:49] <elfy> maybe so - but that I don't do :)
[09:50] <xubuntu594> anybody has a solution or an idea for ;y proble?
[09:50] <elfy> !patience xubuntu594
[09:50] <elfy> !patience | xubuntu594
[09:51] <elfy> xubuntu594: is this with the live dvd/usb or did you install ok?
[09:52] <xubuntu594> `the live xubuntu works fine
[09:52] <xubuntu594> Im using unetbootin
[09:52] <elfy> MaximB: as far as a ubiquity bug goes - nothing we can do in here. To get around your issue I'd do as I suggested - run gparted and then run the installer with the partitions already set up
[09:53] <ObrienDave> !nomodeset | xubuntu594
[09:53] <elfy> xubuntu594: reboot the usb - when you see the screen with the kbd/man - any key, then enter language - then F6 - then choose nomodeset then go from there
[09:54] <xubuntu594> ok ill try thqt thanks
[10:09] <MaximB> ok, so I installed xubuntu but my mice won't work, not the laptop internal, not the stick, not even attached usb mice ... why? I've been hearing about problematic hardware but this dell latitude e5430 model is certified on ubuntu.  and for some reason the 1st install of ubuntu actually didn't have an issue with the mice on that laptop
[10:16] <ObrienDave> BIOS setting?
[10:19] <MaximB> it worked on live cd
[10:29] <ObrienDave> did you try unplugging USB mouse? I have to do that a lot
[10:33] <MaximB> sure
[10:50] <ObrienDave> check this out: http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/157789-SOLVED!-Ubuntu-13-10-keybored-and-mouse-stops-working-after-some-time!
[10:55] <MaximB> that bug happens only if I do update on installation
[10:55] <MaximB> lets see how it does update after install
[11:00] <ObrienDave> k
[12:29] <MaximB> ObrienDave: after regular install and updates in that order, all seems to work fine
[12:29] <MaximB> ObrienDave: also it's very quite here vs #ubuntu ;)
[12:29] <ObrienDave> well, that's a good thing :)
[12:29] <MaximB> yeah
[12:29] <ObrienDave> we like it quiet ;P
[12:30] <MaximB> couldn't ever get support from #ubuntu
[12:30] <MaximB> loadest chat at freenodes ;)
[12:30] <ObrienDave> it's all the same family
[12:30] <MaximB> yeah, still
[12:31] <MaximB> I installed ubuntu and many kubuntu and xubuntu packages and desktop a few days ago, and today it got broken badly, so I reinstalled with xubuntu and installed sone kde packages (must have konsole and ktorrent)
[12:32] <ObrienDave> i go to sessions & startup, and have gnome and kde services turned on
[12:34] <MaximB> one thing that buggs me, kde and ubuntu look prettier than xfce :(
[12:35] <ObrienDave> that's ok with me, i'm an old, simple kinda guy. i want things to work LOL
[12:37] <ObrienDave> and there are several themes available to 'spruce' up the appearance. i like simple
[12:38] <MaximB> there is also a wallpaper issue when I attach the laptop to biggest screen... it looks...unnatural (not streched, but...buggy)
[12:40] <ObrienDave> screenshot?
[12:42] <MaximB> what's the default key for taking screenshots after install? ;)
[12:42] <ObrienDave> prtsc, i think
[12:42] <MaximB> what is it?
[12:42] <ObrienDave> Prt Sc
[12:42] <MaximB> o..
[12:43] <ObrienDave> brb
[12:43] <ObrienDave> gotta wake up the wife
[12:50] <cfhowlett> TMI !
[12:52] <ObrienDave> lol pffffffft! ;P
[12:53] <knome> oi, this ain't offtopic
[12:54] <Jedee> hello :)
[12:55] <Jedee> can someone tell me if the microsoft natural ergonomic 4000 keyboard works with all the smartkeys?
[12:55] <Jedee> i'm thinking to purchase this board so
[12:55] <cfhowlett> Jedee, greetings
[12:55] <Jedee> hi !
[12:56] <Jedee> i was hoping to get an answer if xubuntu recognizes the smartkeys and so on
[12:57] <MaximB> Jedee: no, Linux identifies MS products and makes them unusable ... forever....
[12:57] <Jedee> haha
[12:57] <Jedee> ok
[12:57] <MaximB> :D
[12:57] <Jedee> what about logitech then LOL
[12:57] <MaximB> but I can't see why not
[12:57] <MaximB> logitec rules
[12:58] <Jedee> my laptop has some Fn keys so
[12:58] <Jedee> got used to that
[12:58] <MaximB> mine too..never touched them
[12:59] <MaximB> lol, they actually work
[12:59] <Jedee> the board is like 50 dollars so if it doesnt work i'm would be pretty pissed not having it working ok
[12:59] <Jedee> i'm using the last LTS version by the way
[12:59] <cub> Jedee, no sure about MS keyboard but I bought a Logitech with volume keys and such which worked out of the box.
[12:59] <MaximB> try the live-dvd
[12:59] <Jedee> cub: thanks !
[13:00] <Jedee> do you know which one ?
[13:00] <Jedee> MaximB: i'm a USB stick guy and my dvd drive is only used to get cd's into my banshee library
[13:01] <MaximB> you can make a live-usb-stick too
[13:01] <Jedee> i know
[13:01] <Jedee> :)
[13:01] <cub> Jedee, http://www.logitech.com/sv-se/product/keyboard-k360?crid=26 I get forced on to their Swedish site, but you can see the keyboard there. Still no guarantee that another keyboard will work though. :)
[13:02] <Jedee> THanks cub

[13:03] <koegs> he says, multimedia keys are ok
[13:03] <Jedee> and the rocker for scrolling isnt as far i can see
[13:04] <koegs> solution is shown
[13:04] <Jedee> i see :)
[13:04] <Jedee> thanks everyone !

[13:04] <Jedee> have a nice day !
[13:05] <koegs> well some people do not know how to use google :D
[13:05] <ObrienDave> lmgtfy ;P
[13:05] <koegs> was the first hit with "microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 ubuntu" :D
[13:05] <Jedee> koegs: i'm not using google
[13:05] <Jedee> so
[13:07] <koegs> almost the same on bing and duckduckgo :>
[13:07] <ObrienDave> lmsetfy ;P
[13:08] <ObrienDave> Let Me Search Engine That For You ;P
[13:17] <cfhowlett> www.lmgtfy.com
[13:25] <xubuntu573> hello
[13:26] <xubuntu573> I have xubuntu on a Toshiba c650 , I cannot control the sound volume
[13:27] <cub> xubuntu573, do you mean from the icon in the upper right on the screen?
[13:29] <xubuntu573> yes, and it is dark grey
[13:29] <cfhowlett> xubuntu573, greetings
[13:29] <cub> xubuntu573, it's a known bug, check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/360806/volume-indicator-issue-after-xubuntu-13-10-upgrade
[13:32] <xubuntu573> OK , i've changed that file , and when I was restarting xfce I had one error , it said : "failed to restart the panel"
[13:51] <ObrienDave> cfhowlett, rofl ;P
[13:57] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, I rarely use lmgtfy ... but sometimes it's the only way to make a point
[13:58] <ObrienDave> that was funny. never seen that before :)
[13:59] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, oh, I thought you knew it was a thing!
[14:00] <ObrienDave> cfhowlett, never said i knew EVERYthing ;P
[15:11] <uflaig> hello, I am currently having an issue, it says no space on device all the tie no matter what I delete, what do I do?
[15:12] <elfy> delete - or move to trash and not empty it?
[15:12] <uflaig> elfy: tash is emptied
[15:13] <uflaig> right now I am only having access to console
[15:13] <elfy> df -h | pastebinit
[15:13] <elfy> let us have the url
[15:14] <uflaig> ow, who knew pastebinit exists, quite handy
[15:14] <uflaig> paste.ubuntu.com/6594708
[15:15] <elfy> nice ...
[15:15] <elfy> sudo apt-get clean
[15:16] <elfy> hope that'll get you enough space to move around
[15:16] <uflaig> nope, still on 100%
[15:16] <uflaig> I used a command before, tried to restore some files
[15:17] <uflaig> foremost
[15:18] <elfy> uflaig: is this a default setup? you've not changed the default reserved space in the past?
[15:19] <uflaig> like I said before this happened after I tried to restore some files with foremost
[15:20] <ObrienDave> dang, never seen a partition quite that full
[15:20] <elfy> uflaig: so that finished trying to do what it was doing - or errored out
[15:21] <elfy> ObrienDave: I have - lots of times ...
[15:21] <elfy> uflaig if it's not doing anything now ytou can reduce the amount of reserved space - should allow you to work with it, remove what foremost has done, then set it back
[15:22] <elfy> or you could boot a live usb or something and then deal with it there
[15:24] <elfy> partitions have 5% reserved by default - you can use tune2fs to change that
[15:24] <elfy> BUT I would set it back as soon as you can after you've dealt with the full drive
[15:25] <elfy> and they've gone
[15:45] <uflaig> hi it's me again, I was able to empty the trash via comand line, for some reason that didn't worked on xfce, thanks and bye!
[15:56] <ObrienDave> k thx bi
[15:56] <ObrienDave> lol
[17:03] <xubuntu784> hi

[19:13] <zat0ich1> question: I'm running xubuntu on a laptop hooked up to an hdmi monitor
[19:13] <zat0ich1> My sound keeps defaulting to the hdmi output
[19:13] <xerox_alto> hello community how do i set up a dualboot with 2 xubuntu distros and LVM with encryption for each? what grub config do i need?
[19:13] <Poisoned_Dragon> And you don't want it to?
[19:13] <zat0ich1> even though I've tried to change the default sink for pulseaudio to my computer's analog output
[19:14] <zat0ich1> I have a nicer external speaker I'm running through the headphone jack
[19:14] <zat0ich1> I've tried editing /etc/pulse/default.pa
[19:14] <zat0ich1> but that hasn't worked
[19:15] <zat0ich1> also of note is that until I've opened pavucontrol and selected analog output
[19:15] <zat0ich1> pacmd list-sinks doesn't list it
[19:15] <Poisoned_Dragon> Did you try it through pavucontrol?
[19:15] <zat0ich1> yeah, I can change it through pavucontrol, but everytime I reboot it reverts to HDMI
[19:16] <Poisoned_Dragon> In pavucontrol there is a "set as fallback" button.
[19:16] <Poisoned_Dragon> next to the "Lock Channels Together" button.
[19:17] <zat0ich1> Yeah, I've got that selectted for built-in audio analog stereo
[19:17] <zat0ich1> and disabled for the HDMI
[19:17] <Poisoned_Dragon> hmm....
[19:17] <Poisoned_Dragon> That is a head scratcher.
[19:18] <Poisoned_Dragon> I never use an hdmi display attached to a laptop
[19:18] <zat0ich1> Yeah, the monitor is a black friday purchase
[19:18] <zat0ich1> so it's pretty new
[19:19] <zat0ich1> and I also just switched to xubuntu after using opensuse KDE for a while
[19:19] <Poisoned_Dragon> Did the feature work on that distro?
[19:20] <Poisoned_Dragon> Are you using Xubuntu 13.10?
[19:20] <zat0ich1> yes and yes
[19:21] <zat0ich1> but I did briefly try PCLinuxOS with KDE, which was giving me the same problem (among many others)
[19:21] <Poisoned_Dragon> OpenSuse might have been using a newer kernel/driver combination.
[19:22] <Poisoned_Dragon> I just had to hack at and LTS based distro to install the saucy kernel, just to get the intel chipset/gpu to co-operate.
[19:22] <Poisoned_Dragon> *and=an
[19:23] <zat0ich1> sounds like a pain
[19:23] <zat0ich1> I'll probably just keep fiddling with /etc/pulse/default.pa and pavucontrol
[19:23] <Poisoned_Dragon> You could consider trying out the test release of Xubuntu 14.04 to see if the new stuff will help with your audio issues.
[19:23] <Poisoned_Dragon> Worst case, might have to stick with what you know in opensuse.
[19:23] <Poisoned_Dragon> Ever considered xfce on opensuse?
[19:24] <zat0ich1> I have not, no
[19:24] <Poisoned_Dragon> Well, you have plenty of options. go take chances and make mistakes. It's how we learn the fastest.
[19:24] <zat0ich1> But really I'm more familiar with debian/ubuntu based distros anyway
[19:24] <zat0ich1> This is true
[19:24] <zat0ich1> I've come a long way
[19:24] <zat0ich1> And I've broken many a system along the journey
[19:25] <Poisoned_Dragon> There is an alpha for 14.04, if you want to give that iso a try.
[19:25] <zat0ich1> I might do that. But in the past two weeks I've gone through and broken/rejected a few distros
[19:26] <zat0ich1> So I'm probably just going to sit on this one for a little while
[19:26] <zat0ich1> I've still got a few things I could try
[19:26] <Poisoned_Dragon> heh, fair enough.
[19:26] <zat0ich1> I just thought I'd ask a second opinion
[19:26] <Poisoned_Dragon> I'm just glad the new kernel is working on my end.
[19:26] <zat0ich1> Thanks for your input Poisoned_Dragon
[19:27] <Poisoned_Dragon> no prob
[19:27] <Poisoned_Dragon> Oh, it actually wasn't a pain, btw. the saucy kernel was in the repo.
[19:27] <Poisoned_Dragon> Just install with the meta package.
[19:28] <zat0ich1> I see. Well I'm glad it's working for you. For the moment I'm off to work. Peace out.
[19:29] <Poisoned_Dragon> darn... I just found a possible answer too.
[19:30] <Poisoned_Dragon> go figure
[19:32] <xerox_alto> hello community how do i set up a dualboot with 2 xubuntu distros and LVM with encryption for each? what grub config do i need?
[19:36] <Poisoned_Dragon> I wish I could help but, I generally avoid dual booting on the same drive.
[19:51] <xerox_alto> hello are there alternate install disks for xubuntu 13.10?
[19:52] <holstein> !minimal
[19:52] <holstein> xerox_alto: the minimal works as an alternate did.. let me see if i find alternate 13.10
[19:53] <xerox_alto> holstein does the graphical installer of 13.10 provide options to manually do the partitioning and set up encrypted LVM
[19:53] <holstein> xerox_alto: i do not see it here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/13.10/release/ ..but, you could use the alternate to do what you need to do, and add what you need, such as xubuntu-desktop
[19:54] <holstein> xerox_alto: i think its a good idea to try the live CD to check for support.. you could then take a look at the live CD installer, and move on to the mini if needed
[19:55] <xerox_alto> thanks holstein i will give it a try
[21:14] <Monkeytoe> is there a way to install berkley db 4.8 to ubuntu 13.10?
[21:14] <Monkeytoe> nevermind it worked this time :)
[23:11] <xubuntu213> hello
[23:12] <xubuntu213> hello
[23:55] <m1chael> i'm dealing with a very frustrating issue... when i plug in a 1tb external USB to my laptop running xubuntu 13.10, the desktop freezes (but everything else works, apps, browsing web, etc..)... and the desktop unfreezes when i unmount and disconnect the usb drive..... (i can browse the data just fine on the drive even when the desktop is frozen)
