[00:00] <fibz_> did you perform a complete scan and enable checking of bad sectors? or just the usual chkdsk?
[00:00] <Unit193> mulletman1970: Enablement stack just brings in a newer xorg and kernel.
[00:00] <mulletman1970> usual chkdsk
[00:01] <fibz_> then yes, try out smartmontools available in the repos to read the hard drives SMART logs
[00:01] <mulletman1970> should i boot back to bill and try that and come back?
[00:01] <fibz_> no
[00:01] <fibz_> you can do that right now
[00:01] <mulletman1970> sweet!
[00:01] <mulletman1970> Wish I knew how. lol
[00:02] <fibz_> open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install smartmontools   (or search for it in the Ubuntu Software Center)
[00:03] <mulletman1970> Doing it via terminal now. thanks
[00:04] <fibz_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools

[00:28] <kingplusplus> please how do i install flash on xbuntu
[00:29] <Unit193> Either install flashplugin-installer, or add the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin.
[00:29] <kingplusplus> Unit193, please do you know the cmd
[00:30] <Unit193> However you'd normally install software, USC, synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, etc.
[00:33] <kingplusplus> please anyone noticed firefox dones't allow saving password on Xubuntu, the save password flashes and viola its gone how can i fix this?
[00:59] <kingplusplus> please how do i fix the audio of my Xubuntu, i wasn't able to edit the volume so i typed alsamixer and increased all options is there a way to make it better because now i am get a tone coming up if the volume is 50% high
[01:34] <fibz_> internal sound cards absorb a lot of RFI/EMI, also check your cabling, loosing connections or old/bad cables will cause this as well. also clean up your cabling, interferences jumps between cables. use terminators to help absolrb some of the noise. also if you have a pre-amp control in your alsamixer, turn that down, pre-amp shouldnt be set too high
[02:04] <Psil0Cybin> hey guys I am using Xubuntu 12.04 and I am trying to get my screen to dim after idle for 12 seconds, but it does not dim...what can i do to attempt to fix trhis issue
[02:09] <Psil0Cybin> Hey guys sorry I am trying to get my Xubuntu to dim on inactivity my screen using xfce power manager but it seems to not dim at all
[03:07] <fibz_> broke my tab key binding. Tab works for Alt+Tab switching, but all other functions provided by tab (cycling through cells and input boxes, autocomplete, indenting text and so on) any idea how to fix this?
[03:07] <fibz_> problem started after i changed the keyboard shortcut for window resize (changed to alt+1)
[03:09] <holstein> fibz_: you can always blow out your user config and get "default"
[03:09] <fibz_> where is it located?
[03:10] <holstein> fibz_: it depends on what you want to remove.. or reset
[03:10] <holstein> fibz_: somewhere in your /home should be all you are looking for
[03:10] <fibz_> i dont know what i broke. i am in ./config and not sure where to go from here
[03:11] <holstein> fibz_: then, move the entire thing
[03:11] <holstein> fibz_: test.. then, put back what you want/need
[03:11] <fibz_> k
[03:27] <fibz_> deleted /home/user/.config/xfce4/ and that fixed it
[03:27] <fibz_> thanks holstein
[03:27] <holstein> fibz_: cheers!
[05:31] <Psil0Cybin> Anyone know how I can diagnose a xfce4-power-manager issue? I cannot get the dim setting to work on my laptop Lenovo G700
[05:35] <Noskcaj> Psil0Cybin, while not actually diagnosing it, ubuntu-bug xfce4-power-manager would help track down this issue
[05:39] <Psil0Cybin> Noskcaj, I am kinda new to the process of filing bugs how would I go about doing this?
[05:40] <Psil0Cybin> nvm Noskcaj I am doing that now
[05:43] <Noskcaj> also, what version of xubuntu do you have?
[05:45] <Noskcaj> Psil0Cybin, I think it's a bug i fixed in xubuntu 14.04
[05:46] <Psil0Cybin> Noskcaj, I am using Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2208549 is my thread on the forums
[05:48] <Noskcaj> It's bug 1067749 that you have i think
[05:56] <Noskcaj> Psil0Cybin, If you're able to, upgrade to 14.04 (we just released beta 1). If not, i can try and make the patch work in precise if you really need it.
[06:00] <Psil0Cybin> I do not "really" need it, but I would love to learn how to fix this issue and perhaps patch it without adding a PPA? Or doing it manually?
[06:00] <Psil0Cybin> Is this a difficult task? I am fairly new, but hate adding PPA's as they cause problems later on
[06:00] <Noskcaj> well patching it is doing it manually
[06:01] <Noskcaj> but you could make the .deb yourself fairly easily.
[06:02] <tsaavik> anyone having font issues since the last xubuntu chrome/nvidia/gtk upgrade?
[06:04] <Noskcaj> tsaavik, That's a lot of different options. Maybe try looking at bug reports for the various packages you mentioned?
[06:09] <tsaavik> Yeah, been stalking around, no luck so far
[06:09] <tsaavik> I pushed the upgrade button and rebooted and WHAM, helvicta is BOLD and almost unreadable :(
[06:10] <tsaavik> even tried hacking up a custom.css to remap helvetica in chrome, but no dice
[06:10] <tsaavik> Maybe I can hold out another month for 14.04 :\
[06:11] <Noskcaj> tsaavik, It's fairly safe to upgrade to 14.04 now
[06:16] <tsaavik> Ah cool, i'll keep that as an option :D
[08:13] <AussieUpOver> Trying to install drivers for my Brother HL-3150CDN on xubuntu 14.04, it seems to list a wide range of Brother printer drivers in xubuntu but misses out the one I need (Which is just typical for me). On the Brother Linux Drivers page now & it seems the drivers from there won't install. Got any tips?

[08:21] <CrypticByte> Question guys when I run wow64 bit the mouse cursor looks fine but game crashes before it opens, if I run wow 32 bit game works perfectly but the mouse is gray.  What could be causing this?
[08:23] <AussieUpOver> Not running it in windows that's what. I can't get it going either.
[08:24] <CrypticByte> Works perfectly using Ubuntu with Unity, OpenSUSE, just cant seem to get it running right with any buntu distro that doesn't use Unity
[08:37] <CrypticByte> Question guys when I run wow64 bit the mouse cursor looks fine but game crashes before it opens, if I run wow 32 bit game works perfectly but the mouse is gray.  What could be causing this?
[08:44] <xubuntu631> Hi there. I am really impressed of the Beta 14.04 Xubuntu, and I am wondering, if I install the Beta 1, will this be updated all the way to final? Or should I make a new install after final is released?
[08:46] <elfy> xubuntu631: update it and it will be
[08:48] <xubuntu631> elfy: ....it will be.... updated until final? :-)
[08:49] <CrypticByte> on that 14.04 xubuntu can you still get the non free ATI drivers?
[08:50] <elfy> xubuntu631: if you update - then you'll have the final
[08:50] <elfy> CrypticByte: no idea - don't use ATI cards
[08:50] <elfy> http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fglrx
[08:51] <bazhang> fglrx are the proprietary ones
[08:51] <bazhang> perhaps he means "radeon"
[08:51] <CrypticByte> well I'm going to make a post on Winehq website about the gray mouse cursor but I fixed the problem
[08:51] <elfy> lol - like I said - no idea :p
[08:51] <elfy> CrypticByte: look on packages.ubuntu.com
[08:51] <CrypticByte> It was in fact a 32bit lib that was missing but doing sudo apt-get install ia32-libs fixed the problem
[08:52] <bazhang> CrypticByte, they have a channel here on freenode
[08:52] <bazhang> #winehq
[08:52] <elfy> no ia32-libs in trusty
[08:53] <CrypticByte> trusty, whats that
[08:53] <CrypticByte> I'm just learning linux :P
[08:53] <bazhang> 14.04
[08:53] <bazhang> release next month
[08:53] <bazhang> as in 4th month 14 (2014)
[08:53] <CrypticByte> so they will no longer be a ia32-libs thats crazy
[08:54] <bazhang> you wont need it
[08:54] <CrypticByte> I needed it now, what they do so differently next month
[08:54] <bazhang> need it for what
[08:54] <bazhang> !find ia32
[08:55] <CrypticByte> world of warcraft to get the mouse cursor working, only way I found that it works
[08:55] <elfy> http://askubuntu.com/questions/107230/what-happened-to-the-ia32-libs-package
[08:55] <bazhang> what version you on
[08:55] <CrypticByte> version of what
[08:55] <bazhang> xubuntu
[08:56] <bazhang> lsb_release -a in the terminal
[08:56] <CrypticByte> I'm on Mint currently I been debating on switching over
[08:56] <bazhang> uh thats not supported
[08:57] <bazhang> irc.spotchat for linuxmint help
[11:00] <xubuntu329> Greetings all. In need of some urgent help. After I login, I get no response. Luckily, synapse still functions so I was able to pull up the browser. Otherwise, I have either a grey screen or a nlank wallpaper. Non of the basic desktop loads, not even the toolbar up top.
[11:00] <xubuntu329> blank*
[11:03] <xubuntu329> I was sticking to 13.04 for this concern. But decided to uprgrade since its always bugging me about it, and, many 13.04 packages are no longer updated, etc.
[11:10] <xubuntu392> Slve a TUTTI
[11:11] <xubuntu392> qualcuno parla italiano
[11:11] <fibz__> delete you /home/user/.config
[11:12] <v1adimir> o.0
[11:12] <xubuntu392> Italian
[11:12] <xubuntu392> ?
[11:13] <xubuntu329> I'll try it...
[11:14] <v1adimir> apt-get install -f maybe, to begin with
[11:15] <v1adimir> http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies
[11:16] <xubuntu329> hmm...nope...seems to have no effect
[11:17] <xubuntu329>  Was literally functioning fine 10 minutes ago
[11:18] <xubuntu329> Now, I'm completely "greyed out". If I minimize a window, its gone. considering trying fibz___ suggestion
[11:20] <v1adimir> if a new user might help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto
[11:20] <v1adimir> but, this is doubtful..:)
[11:21] <xubuntu329> This is a new problem, that is for certain. First time for everything as they say.
[11:23] <v1adimir> yeah xD
[11:24] <xubuntu329> Can't even access folders...this is nuts
[11:24] <v1adimir> xubuntu329: but, did you sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove ; sudo apt-get clean b4 trying to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
[11:24] <v1adimir> .. and check if old sources are disabled.
[11:25] <v1adimir> maybe it's just something simple :-f
[11:26] <xubuntu329> I din't run any terminal commands after install. No clue as to what this issue is. I've seen the no wallpaper hissy fits..but I can't even use my machine. Thanks to synapse, I am able to workaround some.
[11:29] <xubuntu329> going to reboot...fingers crossed. Thanks for the assistance.
[11:33] <xubuntu152> Rebooted to same predicament
[11:34] <xubuntu152> Think I should just wipe the HDD and fresh install 13.04?
[13:25] <meeseek> i thought light-locker is replacing xscreensaver, but latest trusty still uses it for locking
[13:25] <meeseek> whats up with that
[13:26] <TheSheep> it's not ready yet
[13:29] <meeseek> TheSheep, ok. just making sure it's not a bug on my end. im running the daily iso.
[14:42] <any_chaos> Hallo ich habe ein Problem mit meinem System, ich kann mich als Gast bei einer xfce Sitzung anmelden, nur wenn ich mich mit meinem Konto anmelde komme ich direkt zur Anmeldemaske zurück. Das Passwort ist richtig eingegeben. Kann mir bitte jemand helfen?
[14:42] <cfhowlett> !de|any_chaos,
[15:47] <cubed_root> i tried install gnome using sudo apt-get install gnome-shell, the installation seemed to run successfully, but after logout and restart i'm not seeing the gnome options in the login window
[15:50] <holstein> cubed_root: under the session selection
[15:51] <cubed_root> i think that's what i'm talking about:  after install i just see xubuntu and xfce
[15:51] <holstein> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/upgrade-gnome-3-10-ubuntu-13-10 should be relevant.. though, you may not want the PPA's
[15:52] <cubed_root> thanks
[15:53] <holstein> ubuntu-gnome-desktop is what they suggest. but, i havent tried it
[15:53] <holstein> you should be able to just add gnome, and select it
[15:53] <cubed_root> what are ppa's again?
[15:53] <holstein> !ppa
[15:54] <cubed_root> thanks
[15:54] <holstein> i can say, i have installed gnome, and experienced issues
[15:55] <cubed_root> i might leave it alone for now as this is a laptop i use alot
[15:55] <holstein> cubed_root: you can always try it in virtualbox, or a live CD :)
[15:56] <cubed_root> actually i've installed it on an older laptop and like it, but i want to try using it for a couple hours to see if i like enough to switch
[15:57] <cubed_root> ...i want to try doing work on it
[15:58] <holstein> cubed_root: you can.. the PPA is probably a good idea at that point
[16:00] <cubed_root> holstein: were your gnome issues with hardware or with having xubuntu also installed
[22:08] <Robertinho> conversaria em portugues?
[22:08] <bazhang> !pt
[23:42] <zukeprime> xubuntu 14.04 Beta 1:  still has xscreensaver.  Is that intentional? Don't see lightlocker settings anywhere
[23:45] <fibz_> best 14.04 support can be found in #ubuntu+1
[23:45] <zukeprime> cool thanks fibz_
