[00:46] <dunpeal> Hi. I just installed 13.10 from USB. Installation was ostensibly successful, but when I try to boot the monitor just turns black. How do I debug this?
[00:47] <Unit193> !nomodeset | Perhaps this?
[00:49] <dunpeal> Unit193: would that apply despite the LiveCD itself (Try Xubuntu) loading without issue?
[01:19] <Unit193> dunpeal: I wouldn't think so, but may as well check it.  What happens if you remove the boot options  'quiet splash'  ?
[01:20] <Unit193> (It will give a lot more output, should hit on what's up.)
[01:31] <dunpeal> Unit193: it's not exactly a black screen.... It's like a terminal screen with a flashing cursor.
[01:31] <dunpeal> wow, it doesn't look like the bootloader is loading at all
[01:31] <Unit193> Then this sounds like it's sitting at tty 7> with no X on that screen.
[01:31] <dunpeal> I don't know what's going on :(
[01:32] <Unit193> Left Shift to show it during boot.
[01:32] <dunpeal> ther'es no tty prompt
[01:32] <Unit193> Blinking curser is what happens with the TTY's higher than 7 when X isn't on them.
[01:32] <dunpeal> something is seriously messed up
[01:32] <Unit193> How new is this computer?
[01:32] <dunpeal> Unit193: not sure what you mean?
[01:33] <dunpeal> holding left shift doesn't do anything
[01:33] <dunpeal> Unit193: it's pretty freaking new, it's a Lenovo S30 workstation
[01:33] <dunpeal> moi expensive
[01:33] <Unit193> So UEFI?  Amd64 install?
[01:33] <dunpeal> yes and yes
[01:34] <dunpeal> I had Xubuntu 13.04 installed on it before, and it worked
[01:34] <dunpeal> now I wiped the drive and installed 13.10, and got this
[01:35] <Unit193> When I installed on a UEFI computer once, I had to use that boot repair tool (nothing went wrong, part of the uefi instructions.)
[01:35] <Unit193> Did you see the UEFI guide?  I presume so since you had 13.04.
[01:35] <dunpeal> Unit193: which guide?
[01:35] <Unit193> !uefi
[01:36] <dunpeal> Unit193: do you mean this tool? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[01:36] <Unit193> Yp.
[01:36] <Unit193> Note, I've used/installed Linux on UEFI once, not my strong point.
[01:37] <dunpeal> the UEFI guide seems to basically boil down to "Run Boot Repair" for me
[01:37] <Unit193> Heh, yeah, noticed that? :P
[01:47] <dunpeal> Unit193: I ran boot repair, did everything it asked, and Xubuntu still won't boot :(
[01:48] <dunpeal> Unit193: this is the paste it gave me: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6811800/
[01:54] <Unit193> "Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file"  At the top of the file it says /dev/sda has no MBR, does it after installing grub?  At the POSIX screen, should give you a boot option (likely where you selected your USB device), do you have an Ubuntu (or other interesting options.) there?
[01:57]  * dunpeal checks
[01:58] <dunpeal> Unit193: what's "POSIX screen"?
[01:58] <Unit193> s/POSIX/POST/  the thing that comes up and says "Dell" before booting.
[01:59] <dunpeal> Unit193: no interesting options
[01:59] <Unit193> Bummer.
[02:00] <Unit193> As I don't know UEFI -> #ubuntu ?
[02:00] <Unit193> :/
[02:00] <dunpeal> Unit193: thanks... maybe I should just install in legacy mode?
[02:01] <Unit193> Unless you want to mess with UEFI, I would.
[02:01] <dunpeal> Unit193: is there a good set of instructions about it somewhere?
[02:02] <Unit193> dunpeal: Not that I know of, I've been looking up some stuff but so far mainly geared towards QEMU because I have no hardware with it.
[02:02] <dunpeal> Unit193: there's no file sda1/EFI
[02:03] <dunpeal> it's an empty directory
[02:04] <dunpeal> where do I get the file that's supposed to be at sda1/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi?
[02:06] <Unit193> Shim is for when Secure Boot is enabled.
[02:09] <xubuntu509> Hi :p
[02:11] <Unit193> Howdy.
[02:11] <Unit193> !hi
[04:11] <xubuntu824> hi
[04:12] <xubuntu824> i have a problem with my xubuntu 12.04 while installing kmail

[04:14] <holstein> xubuntu824: it? it is a package manager?
[04:15] <xubuntu824> yes i tried through synaptic package manager
[04:15] <holstein> xubuntu824: how about this.. close everything managing packages.. open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kmail"
[04:15] <Unit193> Accept those packages and it'll install.
[04:15] <holstein> !paste | xubuntu824 share any errors
[04:16] <xubuntu824> k Mr.holstein i will check with the command you gave, and thanks for the reply as i m newbie to linux
[04:42] <dunpeal> Unit193: btw, I installed in Legacy mode, and now it's booting without a hitch
[04:42] <Unit193> Yeep.  Nice to have it working, everything else good then?
[04:48] <dunpeal> Unit193: so far, so good...
[09:08] <heavyammo> I have this issue with my Skype icon in the indicator plugin tray... I click on on it and instead of opening skype it shows the menu that you would see if you right clicked - Recent chats, all status changes etc. and  there is no way to open skype...
[09:08] <heavyammo> I need to quit and reopen skype so it pops up again
[09:16] <heavyammo> I tried using a desktop shortcut to Skype but it tries to open another instance, so it doesn't work
[09:17] <Unit193> Normally the top choice is "Activate"
[09:17] <heavyammo> Mine is Recent chats
[09:21] <Unit193> Click and hold, or just click?
[09:21] <Unit193> Weird...
[09:24] <heavyammo> Double click, any click, it's always that right click menu
[09:24] <heavyammo> and if I right click I get the Indicator plugin menu Move, Remove, Panel
[09:26] <heavyammo> I used this guide to make it start in the first place
[09:26] <heavyammo> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/fix-skype-not-working-in-ubuntu-1304.html
[09:52] <ethermonk> use pidgin?
[09:52] <ethermonk> install all the add ons like skype
[09:56] <baizon> pidgin can use the skype protocol?
[09:56] <Unit193> Using Skype's API, so have to have both open.
[09:57] <baizon> wow

[16:13] <misugi> is there someone?
[16:14] <misugi> i've problem with my xubuntu
[16:14] <misugi> audio is very low
[16:15] <baizon> there is always someone here :)
[16:15] <baizon> just ask your question :)
[16:15] <misugi> thank you :)
[16:16] <misugi> i've just istalled xubuntu
[16:16] <misugi> but audio is very very low
[16:16] <misugi> i've tried with alsamixer to increase volume but nothing
[16:16] <misugi> no results
[16:17] <baizon> misugi: have you tried pavucontrol?
[16:17] <starrats> Is all your audio turned on?
[16:17] <starrats> my xubuntu works fine just listened to youtube.
[16:18] <misugi> baizon i'm not so much expert...what i should do in order to try pavucontrol?
[16:18] <baizon> misugi: install it :)
[16:19] <misugi> yes starrats all is on and to the top of power
[16:20] <baizon> misugi: with that tool you can configure pulseaudio
[16:20] <baizon> that should help
[16:20] <starrats> ah okay, I have made that error myself not realizing my speakers were off and volume was low.
[16:22] <baizon> starrats: :)
[16:23] <starrats> just saying, you get all excited about something and you forget a few things, lol!
[16:24] <misugi> baizon...i search pavucontrol in software center but pavucontrol and pulseaudio are the same thing?...I tried even with pulseaudio but nothing...there is the movement of the audio(I don't know how to say) but i can hear sound only with speaker next to my ear
[16:26] <baizon> misugi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio
[16:33] <misugi> no result
[16:34] <misugi> i've reset pulseaudio user configuration but now it doesn't show me even the audio bar that increase and decrease
[16:36] <baizon> misugi: which version?
[16:36] <baizon> of xubuntu i mean
[16:38] <misugi> last one 13.10

[16:41] <baizon> its a known bug
[16:47] <misugi> i try...thank you very much...hope this will fix it
[16:47] <misugi> but i have only update?
[17:44] <burningzoul> hello everybody , who can help me a little bit with a xubuntu install?
[20:42] <netrick> how can I have "adwaita" theme in xubuntu? I think it's one of xfce default themes, it is available in almost every xfce distro. Unfortunately it's not present in xubuntu, is there any way I can install adwaita gtk theme in xubuntu?
[20:44] <poeticrpm> netrick: download it from the web, unpack it, place the adwaita folder in ~/.themes, then launch appearance settings and select it. You might need to restart X for everything to take effect
[20:45] <poeticrpm> netrick, I need to use lxappearance to set the theme for some strange reason, but im on Arch for now. Something to keep in mind if the above doesnt work
[20:46] <netrick> poeticrpm: okay, I understand, however I can't find adwaita theme on the web... only modified versions of adwaita, but I cant find orginal adwaita. Do you know maybe where can  I download it?
[20:49] <poeticrpm> netrick, good one. I cant find it either. Hold on
[20:50] <netrick> I downloaded xfce source but there is only source code, no themes... Maybe it's included with gnome?
[20:52] <netrick> update - I found themes in xfce source (there in xfce-gtk-manager archive), but there is no adwaita... so adwaita doesnt ship with xfce. However most distros do have adwaita on xfce (like fedora or manjaro)
[20:54] <Sysi> adwaita is gnome default theme
[20:54] <netrick> is it default for gnome3 as well?
[20:54] <Sysi> default since gnome3
[20:54] <netrick> So I will download gnome3 source and most likely adwaita should be there
[20:55] <poeticrpm> netrick, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=75018
[20:55] <poeticrpm> I know its for Arch, but it gives you a link. Does that link take you to the source or give you an error?
[20:56] <netrick> error :/
[20:56] <poeticrpm> I built a package for you, but now I cant find a place to host it
[20:56] <netrick> hmm lemme look for a host
[20:57] <netrick> http://www.sendspace.com/
[20:57] <netrick> could you try uploading it there?
[20:57] <Sysi> it might not work without adwaita theme engine
[20:59] <poeticrpm> netrick, http://www.sendspace.com/file/gujmd0
[20:59] <netrick> adwaita is for sure portable to xfce, maybe it will work with just theme files
[20:59] <netrick> thank you!
[21:00] <poeticrpm> netrick: the sizes are different on my disk vs what it shows on the site. Double check to make sure its all there
[21:01] <poeticrpm> and Sysi is prolly right... the theme I use doesnt need an "engine" beyond the one I had
[21:01] <poeticrpm> netrick, let me know if it works
[21:01] <netrick> give me a second
[21:02] <poeticrpm> k
[21:04] <netrick> works like a charm! big thanks!
[21:04] <poeticrpm> netrick, awesome
[21:04] <poeticrpm> np
[21:04] <netrick> adwaita is my favourite theme and I really wanted to use it with xubuntu
[21:05] <Sysi> https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3/+files/gnome-themes-standard_3.10.0-0ubuntu1~saucy1_i386.deb
[21:05] <poeticrpm> Sysi, LOL
[21:05] <Sysi> might need this too https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3/+files/gnome-themes-standard-data_3.10.0-0ubuntu1~saucy1_all.deb
[21:05] <Sysi> but if you got it, nice
[21:05] <netrick> wow, .deb package, thank you as well Sysi
[21:09] <netrick> thank you both for help again.
[21:13] <poeticrpm> netrick, np- save both in case of new install lol
[21:17] <netrick> yea, I saved both on pendrive
[23:16] <z4nD4R> hi all. :)
[23:17] <soshi> Hi all, can anyone suggest a place to get started for setting up remote access into xubuntu from Windows?
[23:18] <z4nD4R> soshi: remote access means what? ssh? nfs? samba? vnc?
[23:18] <soshi> I don't have anything currently set up, I am looking for the best place to start googling
[23:19] <z4nD4R> soshi: so maybe it'll be good to start with answer to my question :)
[23:19] <kRush> first figure out what kind of access you want
[23:19] <soshi> apologies, I think VNC is what I want? I'm looking for a full desktop remote control
[23:19] <soshi> not just a command line
[23:24] <kRush> I've only ever used nxclient for that, works fine. no idea how much of a pain it is to set up the server side tough
[23:25] <z4nD4R> there are many ways how to accomplish this... ssh with x11 option, vnc server...
[23:33] <soshi> z4nd4r, I will look into the different types of connection. Since I don't know much, I was looking for a good starting point. Thank you
[23:35] <z4nD4R> soshi: not at all.. :)
[23:35] <z4nD4R> All, are you using a conky? If yes, show some, I need inspiration..
