[00:00] <weems> cannot open display
[00:00] <weems> but I did not kill xfce
[00:00] <weems> or the x server
[00:00] <weems> should I?
[00:00] <krytarik> weems: Terminal, not CLI. :P
[00:00] <weems> I cant do that
[00:01] <weems> because the UI wont load for me
[00:01] <krytarik> weems: That is, login, hit Super+T, and then.
[00:01] <krytarik> *log in
[00:03] <weems> now I dont see xfce login screen at all
[00:03] <weems> just cursor
[00:03] <weems> :p
[00:03] <krytarik> weems: How about just restarting then now? LOL
[00:03] <weems> thats what I did I just rebooted the computer
[00:04] <weems> and I didnt get xfce login screen like normal
[00:04] <weems> something must be up with lightdm
[00:05] <krytarik> weems: Then try restarting LightDM with "sudo service lightdm restart" from the CLI.
[00:06] <weems> start: job failed to start start: Job failed to start
[00:06] <weems> stop: Unknown instance start: Job failed to start

[00:08] <krytarik> weems: Try "sudo killall lightdm", then try again.
[00:13] <weems> ok will do much thanks
[00:13] <weems> @ krytarik
[00:14] <weems> says no process found
[00:29] <krytarik> weems: Then try again with "sudo service lightdm start", or just restart once more.
[00:30] <weems> stop:unknown Instance start:Job failed to Start
[00:30] <weems> again :/
[00:31] <Unit193> Tried checking xorg logs?
[00:31] <weems> hmm ok
[00:32] <weems> where is the log file
[00:32] <weems> ./usr/share ?
[00:32] <weems> ./X11?
[00:34] <krytarik> weems: "/var/log" - there you'll also find the LightDM logs.
[01:40] <weems> krytarik, thanks
[01:44] <weems> krytarik, unable to determine mouse pointer integration - request initialization failed with return code -4.
[01:44] <weems> thats a numerous error in xorg.0.log

[02:09] <AussieDownUnder> I still don't know how to change the lock screen from xscreensaver to light-locker. I first installed light-locker from ubuntu software source & then again through the terminal. I can test it through the terminal but unsure of how to properly configure/activate it.
[02:17] <Unit193> AussieDownUnder: What'd you do so far?
[02:19] <AussieDownUnder> added the ppa source through a terminal, updated apt, installed light-locker from the terminal. Ran "light-locker" in one terminal & then in another ran "light-licker-command -l" which brought me to a different lock out log in screen
[02:19] <AussieDownUnder> unit193, ^
[02:20] <AussieDownUnder> unit193, I'm probably supposed to disable xscreensaver & set it to light-locker instead somehow right? xubuntu is starting to prove more of a challenge every day.
[02:20] <Unit193> What were you expecting?
[02:21] <pac1_> I have a desktop launcher with a generic icon (gears).  I want to replace it with the app's true icon.  I tried googling for where to put the icon and found advice for /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/, placing it there did not make it appear in the the properties emblems tab of the launcher.
[02:21] <Unit193> light-locker uses the lightdm login manager as the lock screen.
[02:21] <AussieDownUnder> To change the log in screen after the pc locks to a different log in screen instead of xscreensaver
[02:21] <pac1_> any further advice?
[02:24] <pac1_> is there a way to set an icon to be used by any theme?
[02:25] <xubuntu794> does anyone know how to make the username in the terminal a different color? It's really confusing to not be able to see
[02:25] <Unit193> xubuntu794: There should be a commented out section in .bashrc
[02:26] <xubuntu794> @Unit193 Thank you so much!!
[02:26] <Unit193> pac1_: Not done much, but ~/.icons/ might be used for some things.  Any reason you can't browse to it?
[02:26] <Unit193> xubuntu794: Sure.
[02:28] <pac1_> Not in this case.
[02:39] <AussieDownUnder> unit193, I think I tried running lightdm from terminal but nothing came up, got me a link so I can self educate?
[02:44] <Unit193> AussieDownUnder: The login screen.
[02:45] <SirLagz> I'm having issues with xubuntu - xfce4 doesn't seem to want to start up and keeps dumping me back to the greeter
[02:45] <SirLagz> i'm trying to work out what's crashing but can't seem to find anything to tell me what's dying =/
[02:45] <AussieDownUnder> Format your hard drive
[02:46] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: a bit overkill don't you think ? :P
[02:46] <AussieDownUnder> Lol
[02:46] <AussieDownUnder> What did you do?
[02:46] <SirLagz> i didn't do anything =/
[02:46] <SirLagz> was working last time i turned it on
[02:47] <SirLagz> then turned it on again a few days ago and it was doing this
[02:47] <SirLagz> at least I don't recall doing anything intentionally
[02:47] <Unit193> !xhangs
[02:47] <ubottu> If the GUI hangs after logging in, use <ctrl><alt><f1> to switch to text mode. Log in and do: rm .{X,ICE}authority
[02:48] <SirLagz> ubottu: sorry, should have mentioned I tried that already. didn't work
[02:48] <ubottu> SirLagz: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)
[02:48] <SirLagz> oops
[02:48] <SirLagz> Unit193: I've checked htat already
[02:49] <SirLagz> Unit193: plus, I can't actually use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a terminal...it keeps switching me back to the greeter for some reason
[02:50] <SirLagz> hmm just tried to login with root and it worked
[02:52] <Unit193> 0_o
[02:52] <SirLagz> i am confused.
[02:56] <SirLagz> i actually logged in for a second...then it dropped me back to the greeter. GRR
[02:56] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, get your hard drive & put it in the microwave for 2 minutes
[02:56] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: no.
[02:57] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: I'm not sure work would appreciate me frying their microwave. :P
[02:57] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, but obviously don't really do that. What xubuntu version are you running & for how long have you had it installed?
[02:57] <Unit193> SirLagz: And what about the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ ?
[02:57] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: 13.10. It was upgraded about a month ago from 13.04
[02:58] <SirLagz> Unit193: I get a Stopping display server, no sessions require it
[02:58] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, when did this problem start happening & what were you doing to your pc around the time? What pc are you using right now to talk on irc?
[02:58] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: it started happening a few days ago when I turned the lappie on after not using for about a week or so
[02:58] <SirLagz> I have multiple machines to IRC on
[02:59] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, can you just boot into recovery mode & do something there?
[02:59] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: sure.
[03:00] <SirLagz> Unit193: something is sending a SIGTERM. I don't know what the process is sending it though as it's just showing the pid. I'm assuming it's lightdm though
[03:04] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, just run a defrib on the side vax & start the flux for a hyper jump
[03:05] <Unit193> I don't think that's helping.
[03:05] <Unit193> SirLagz: So, you didn't do anything weird with it?  Guest account work?  (Won't have any settings to mess stuff up except defaults.)
[03:05] <SirLagz> is there a way I can reset a user's session ?
[03:06] <SirLagz> Unit193: guest account doesn't work.
[03:06] <SirLagz> root does though
[03:06] <Unit193> rm -r .cache/ .config/  but might want to just move the second one.
[03:06] <SirLagz> Unit193: already tried
[03:06] <SirLagz> Unit193: actually i didn't do both at once...
[03:06] <SirLagz> I'll try doing both at once
[03:07] <Unit193> /var/lib/AccountsService/users/username
[03:07] <SirLagz> nope. did both and same thing
[03:07] <Unit193> Nothing in any other logs either I take it?  (dmesg, syslog, xorg.log)
[03:08] <SirLagz> nope
[03:08] <SirLagz> dmesg syslog and xorg.log all show up clean
[03:08] <SirLagz> just lightdm log has some interesting things in it...though I'm having trouble tracing the pid to a process because I can't swith to a terminal =/
[03:08] <Unit193> SSH?
[03:09] <SirLagz> can't ssh into it at the moment....I'm at work and I don't have anything to ssh into the laptop with lol
[03:09] <Unit193> TTY shouldn't be going back to the login screen..
[03:09] <SirLagz> indeed.
[03:09] <SirLagz> even if i log into xfce with root, then try to switch it's dumping me back to the greeter
[03:10] <SirLagz> hmm wonder if something's wrong with the disk
[03:10] <SirLagz> might do a fsck
[03:11] <AussieDownUnder> Just fresh install 14.04 alpha 2 over it all
[03:11] <Unit193> Could try it live, sure.
[03:11] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: i'd rather not install an alpha.
[03:12] <SirLagz> Unit193: try 14.04 live ?
[03:12] <Unit193> Well, that or 13.10
[03:12] <SirLagz> true
[03:12] <AussieDownUnder> SirLagz, I'm running 14.04
[03:12] <AussieDownUnder> daily
[03:12] <SirLagz> AussieDownUnder: that doesn't stop me from not wanting to install 14.04 :P
[03:13] <SirLagz> i'm considering just dumping ubuntu altogether and switching to Arch
[03:13] <SirLagz> but steam support of ubuntu makes ubuntu so attractive lol
[03:13] <AussieDownUnder> Steam OS
[03:14] <SirLagz> fsck came up clean
[03:27] <SirLagz> hmm. Opening the browser as root crashes xfce and dumps me back to the greeter
[03:28] <SirLagz> that's probably what's causing it then
[03:30] <Unit193> You have quite a crashy system there.
[03:31] <SirLagz> indeed
[03:31] <SirLagz> it wasn't this crashy before 13.10 lol
[03:32] <genii> ...And why are you running the browser as root? ...
[03:32] <SirLagz> genii: because I can't login as a normal user
[03:32] <AussieDownUnder> Fresh install
[03:33] <AussieDownUnder> & don't stuff with it
[03:33] <genii> Sounds like messed up permissions in the user's home dir
[03:33] <SirLagz> genii: same thing happens with a guest account
[03:34] <genii> SirLagz: Does it go out of the login screen at all then jump back ?
[03:35] <Unit193> genii: Going to tty even dumps back to lightdm.
[03:35] <SirLagz> genii: yes
[03:36] <genii> Unit193: So ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't even present a text login screen? Or after they login it boots?
[03:36] <SirLagz> genii: ctrl-alt-f1 dumps me to a black screen, then back to the greeter
[03:37] <genii> That's very unusual, I'm not sure I've seen that before. Maybe once or twice if framebuffer was being used and not set to a resolution which the display could do
[03:37] <SirLagz> genii: but I can login to Openbox as my normal user
[03:38] <SirLagz> so it's something to do with xfce or something to do with my xfce session that i assume is saved
[03:38] <SirLagz> oh hey...i'm in TTY now. wtf =/
[03:39] <genii> Hm.
[03:39] <Unit193> Quite.
[03:39] <SirLagz> and now i can't get into TTY after restarting lightdm
[03:40] <SirLagz> *sigh* maybe a full reinstall would be the best solution =/
[03:46] <SirLagz> lets do something stupid. Let's install xephyr to have a nested xserver and see what happens
[03:59] <SirLagz> something to do with the startxfce4 script is killing something
[04:04] <SirLagz> woooooooooooooooooooo i logged in !
[04:04] <SirLagz> i have no idea why it's fixed now =/
[04:11] <AussieDownUnder> Maybe it just lagged sir?
[04:13]  * genii ponders if this is some P-I or P-II machine
[04:15] <us_0gb> 𝝿?
[04:16] <genii> us_0gb: No thanks, I have coffee
[04:17] <AussieDownUnder> I'm Vegan I don't drink coffee
[04:17] <AussieDownUnder> I shelve it, absorbs quicker
[04:17] <us_0gb> Suit yourself then. If you change your mind, it will be over here on the table.
[04:33] <AussieDownUnder> Is there going to be a vegan release of xubuntu that runs on love instead of electricity?
[04:34] <AussieDownUnder> My apologies, wrong channel, thought I was in the offtopic.
[04:44] <AussieDownUnder> So if I want to check the version of say xbmc from the stock repositories before installing it. What terminal command could I use to see what version it will be?
[04:45] <Unit193> apt-cache policy xbmc  (or s/policy/madison/)
[04:45] <retry> the torrent for latest ubuntu 12.04 LTS is .4 but the mirror link for USA points to .3
[04:46] <retry> where are the .4 iso's ?
[04:46] <retry> oh you know, it's only the USA mirror that's behind
[04:47] <retry> other mirrors have .4 point release...so nm
[04:47] <retry> someone may want to update the US mirror though
[05:13] <SirLagz> genii: it's an AMD A4 machine
[05:14] <SirLagz> now to attempt to reinstall the ati drivers and hope it doesn't break everything
[05:39] <SirLagz> and it seems to be ok. woot
[05:39] <Unit193> That makes a lot of sense.
[06:06] <SirLagz> Unit193: what does ?

[07:28] <jozefk> Is xubuntu developed and supported by canonical?
[07:29] <cfhowlett> jozefk, yes
[07:29] <cfhowlett> !xubuntu
[07:29] <ubottu> Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels
[07:29] <jozefk> Is it also LTS?
[07:30] <Unit193> Community developed, and what do you mean by "supported"?
[07:30] <Unit193> 3 year LTS.
[07:30] <jozefk> Is Ubuntu community developed?
[07:31] <Noskcaj> jozefk, yes
[07:31] <jozefk> 3 years. So if I do install xubuntu desktop on Ubuntu 12.04 it will last one more year from now on right?
[07:31] <Unit193> Might as well wait for 14.04 at this point, but yes.
[07:31] <Noskcaj> It will be supported for that long, yes
[07:32] <jozefk> OK. Good. By support I means updates to the system
[07:32] <jozefk> Mean*
[07:32] <Noskcaj> yeah
[07:33] <Unit193> Canonical provides the infrastructure, but as far as I know doesn't do paid Xubuntu support.
[07:59] <AussieDownUnder> I just want to play Minecraft & it won't let meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[08:00] <cfhowlett> AussieDownUnder, no details = no help.
[08:11] <AussieDownUnder> cfhowlett, 14.04 daily, trying to run it from the minecraft.jar, there's not options in properties to allow it to run as executeable. I have Java 7 installed.

[08:11] <Unit193> AussieDownUnder: java -jar file.jar
[08:25] <cfhowlett> AussieDownUnder, you ARE aware that you're running a beta OS - so essentially you're doing testing and should not expect 100% functionality.  support is in #ubuntu+1
[09:04] <xubuntu078> hello, i need help.
[09:04] <xubuntu078> somebody here who can help me installing an nvidia driver ?
[11:46] <serranellus> hi everybody!
[11:47] <serranellus> does any geek want to explain me why should xubuntu run slower than ubuntu on my old notebook?
[11:48] <serranellus> could it be a driver or architecture problem?
[11:51] <serranellus> the processor is an AMD Mobile Sempron 3000+ / 1.8 GHz
[11:51] <serranellus> ram 512 Mb
[11:53] <serranellus> the live cd of xubuntu was unbelivably slow, so I choosed the alternate way, but the result is still lag/bug/annoying
[11:56] <serranellus> unbeliveably
=== SirLagz_ is now known as SirLagz
[11:58] <Unit193> 512 isn't a lot to work with, but unity should be pretty unusably slow there as well.  Have you looked over at Lubuntu btw?
[11:58] <SirLagz> Xfce works well with less ram
[11:58] <SirLagz> so Xubuntu
[11:59] <SirLagz> just booted up my Xubuntu Laptop and it's sitting on 312 MB of ram used
[11:59] <serranellus> I'll try Lubuntu, maybe. Thx Unit193. However as SirLagz said xfce should be a good choice
[12:00] <serranellus> is there a way to examine what's wrong with it?
[12:00] <SirLagz> serranellus: how much RAM is it using at the moment
[12:01] <Unit193> You can turn off the compositor for one, but that's not going to help all that much.
[12:02] <SirLagz> not that there's much of a compositor in XFCE anyway
[12:02] <serranellus> I'm trying to know about the ram usage...
[12:02] <SirLagz> serranellus: free -h in a terminal will tell you
[12:03] <SirLagz> serranellus: or add in the applet for mem usage
[12:04] <serranellus> now I'm performing a reboot. And I have to go having lunch.
[12:04] <serranellus> Thanks a lot, I'll come back in few time.
[12:04] <SirLagz> ok

[15:44] <John_John_> how to start a graphical editor from terminal in xubuntu 13.10 ?
[15:44] <John_John_> i don't wanna use vim
[15:46] <koegs> John_John_: the standard-editor is "mousepad"
[15:47] <John_John_> i tried to use that from terminal but after a couple of times it crashed for some reason
[15:47] <John_John_> so its mousepad after all
[15:47] <koegs> you can use whatever editor you want, i prefer "geany"
[15:47] <John_John_> can i install and run anything else ?
[15:47] <koegs> yes
[15:47] <John_John_> and how can i then run it with a command from terminal ?
[15:48] <cfhowlett> john_JOHN of course.  see the software center options
[15:48] <John_John_> wait please
[15:50] <John_John_> ok i have just installed Geany and it runs fine from the menu but how do i make it run from the terminal also ?
[15:50] <John_John_> so i run sudo geany /etc/hosts for example ?
[15:52] <John_John_> it's already working that ! but when it runs the console gives me the following..how do i fix it ? (geany:3249): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/jsimeonidis/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
[15:53] <cfhowlett> John_John_, since it's a graphical editor, probably need to run gksudo geany
[15:53] <John_John_> aha ok sorry i am new to linux :)
[15:53] <cfhowlett> John_John_, no worries
[15:57] <John_John_> ok thanks it worked
[15:57] <John_John_> one more detail
[15:58] <John_John_> how can i still run geany without blocking the terminal window or without needing to press CTRL+C to unblock it ?
[16:00] <John_John_> it's ok..if that's possible of course !!
[16:00] <koegs> John_John_: "geany test.txt &"
[16:00] <koegs> the & is important

[21:12] <p30n> hey all, quick question: is it easy to get netflix working in ubuntu and more specifically in a xubntu? :)
[21:13] <Sysi> quite easy
[21:13] <p30n> like through a browser addon for xbmc then or what?
[21:13] <alexforge> quit
[21:13]  * p30n quits
[21:13] <baizon> p30n: 3 steps
[21:13] <Sysi> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/08/pipelight-use-silverlight-in-your-linux.html
[21:14] <p30n> yea?
[21:14] <baizon> Sysi: or he can use the netflix app ;)
[21:14] <baizon> p30n: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-netflix-in-ubuntu-13-1013-04-using-ppa.html
[21:14] <knome> baizon, that does basically the same thing.
[21:15] <baizon> indeed
[21:15] <alexforge> meu ingles é pessimo alguem pt br
[21:15] <Sysi> baizon: it's exactly the same thing, except that you maybe also run firefox on wine

[21:15] <p30n> will i get it running like inside the xbmc interface or do i have to multitask to some other "desktop" so to speak
[21:16] <alexforge> obrigsado
[21:16] <alexforge> ops obrigado
[21:17] <Sysi> p30n: you run it with your browser or an app that essentially is a browser opening fullscreen
[21:17] <alexforge> join #ubuntu-br
[21:17] <p30n> Sysi: from inside xbmc? sounds easy enough anyways
[21:18] <Sysi> p30n: no, webbrowser. Like Firefox
[21:18] <p30n> but my biggest problem then is that im stuck with OE to have my AMD fusion running flawless GPU acceleration in xbmc...
[21:18] <Sysi> I don't think you can use xbmc but I might be wrong
[21:18] <p30n> Sysi: oh ok, from X then or ?
[21:18] <p30n> ok
[21:18] <Sysi> but I'm pretty sure xbmc uses X too
[21:19] <p30n> yea
[21:19] <Sysi> wine should support GPU acceleration nowdays but your mileage may vary
[21:19] <p30n> well that is not the problem, the problem is playing back HD material inside xbmc on xubuntu
[21:20] <p30n> openelec with OSS drivers is the only distro that does it good on AMD fusion platforms
[21:20] <p30n> VDPAU
[21:21] <p30n> wonder why no1 has made a "real" xbmc addon for netflix and say spotify yet
[21:21] <baizon> p30n: adobe flash
[21:21] <p30n> shouldn't be that complicated, at least for netflix since as u say it can run inside a browser
[21:21] <p30n> baizon: afaik netflix don't use flash
[21:21] <Sysi> it wouldn't help with hardware acceleration anyway, because of silverlight
[21:22] <Sysi> you'd need to have netflix-people making the xbmc plugin like they do mobile apps
[21:22] <baizon> p30n: yeah sorry, its the Microsoft VC1AP (Silverlight)
[21:22] <p30n> well with a firefox addon or chrome addon for xbmc the problem would be solved no?
[21:23] <p30n> i cant even find a proper graphical broswer addon for xbmc
[21:23] <baizon> p30n: no, because the owner has to pay Microsoft for the licence
[21:23] <Sysi> actually there is an xbmc plugin, but it's gonna be exactly the same as using a browser
[21:23] <p30n> i would like to have it all inside the xbmc interface without need to revert to any other "desktop" so to speak
[21:23] <Sysi> no perf difference
[21:23] <p30n> Sysi: which one?
[21:23] <p30n> baizon: pipelight?
[21:24] <Sysi> http://lifehacker.com/netflixbmc-brings-a-better-remote-controlled-netflix-t-1484237283
[21:25] <baizon> p30n: "Pipelight consists out of two parts: A Linux library which is loaded into the browser and a Windows program started in Wine. The Windows program, called pluginloader.exe, simply simulates a browser and loads the Silverlight DLLs."
[21:25] <p30n> oh ok
[21:25] <p30n> Sysi: that looks like a great solution ill dig into it now
[21:28] <p30n> i guess its not that easy to get that guide working on a open elec install

[22:23] <xubuntu216> I have this issue where the xubuntu installer doesn't see my windows 8 partition, how do you fix this?
[22:24] <xubuntu216> this is the problem that affects people with windows 8 installed on an SSD
[22:26] <panxs> EFI BIOS settings ?? &&&& might try to run G-Part from 64-bit installer DVD. it should SCAN all known partition types.
[22:31] <Unit193> xubuntu216: I'd presume 64bit install?
[22:31] <xubuntu216> yep

[22:34] <Unit193> So yeah, looks like that should be fixed in Saucy...
[22:34] <Unit193> I presume that's what you're trying?
[22:38] <xubuntu216> yep, fix worked
[22:38] <xubuntu216> thanks, just needed to talk it out I guess
[22:39] <Unit193> :)
[22:40] <panxs> ok got iT . i think you need 2 Disable Secure Boot in the UEFI "firmware" type interface.  if u have done so, then  GREAT. it just worked. killaz =:?)
