[00:01] hey. i customized my plymouth loader, but it only works when shutting down. when the computer is starting up, the default xubuntu image is shown, and the customized background is only shown if i press an arrow key (goes to text mode) and again to come back to graphical mode (returns to the customized background). how can i make the starting image to be the customized one? [00:24] i'm having issues playing full screen video using trusty [00:33] no didnt work. lightdm restart wont work [00:40] Hi guys, I have been using Xubuntu 14.04 beta 2 for the last 8 weeks or so, with no problems, its been working fine. I've been using Blender 2.69 for video editing which has also been working fine. Two days ago I upgraded my Xubuntu to the official 14.04 release. Now I have a serious problem in Blender. Specifically, the Camera Solve and Object Solve functions, in the movie clip editing panel, now crash instantly when I try to use them. As mentioned, it was [01:37] Has do-release-upgrade worked for anyone on 12.04? [01:41] Dayofswords: LTS releases get the update window (and option) at the first point release. [01:43] like 14.04.1? [01:43] Yeppers. [01:45] Unit193: Aren't those normal made around the next 6 month release? [01:45] 14.10 that is. [01:45] July 24th [01:46] oh I found it https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-14.04.1 [01:50] Alright I finally got round to attempting a dual boot install of xubuntu 14.04lts on my ssd. It got the the parts of the installation & failed installing the grub, I tried putting it on 3 other partitions but couldn't actually make a new one for it. I tried to put it on the Windows bootloader [01:50] got to* [01:51] I stuffed that up. It got to the last stages of installation & even said installation was complete, but a pop up came up for the grub saying it had failed to install. [02:25] Hi room, wondering if I can ask for some help for a newbie to linux...been on windows for a good 12+ years now. [02:27] I have an old desktop PC running Win XP Home. This machine was built in 2002. [02:28] xubuntu043: if xubuntu doesn't run smoothly on it, you could take a look at "lubuntu" [02:28] !lubuntu | xubuntu043 [02:28] xubuntu043: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [02:29] it's even lighter and less resource-hungry than xubuntu [02:29] go with lubuntu vs xubuntu? [02:29] great -- thank you! [02:29] you could try both =) depends what you want to do with the machine. [02:29] work well with GNUcash? [02:29] gnucash? [02:29] basically a workhorse desktop. [02:29] yes. [02:30] yeah, i see gnucash in the repositories [02:30] home finance software, productivity software (i.e. open office), internet browsing. not much more I can do with this desktop. [02:30] so that means you can install it from any ubuntu-based linux system [02:31] directly from the same ubuntu repos [02:31] XF86Sleep doesn't work on 14.04. [02:31] there's also ubuntu studio, if you want tons of apps for audio production, video editing, etc etc. [02:32] but you could install most of those apps from another distribution anyways. [02:32] Whether I set it to suspend or open the calculator, XF86Sleep has no effect. Even though it registers as an input / event. [02:32] I had found this resource and installed/tried xubuntu on a flashdrive...got a black screen after selecting "try before you install." [02:32] http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/01/preparing-your-disks-for-installing.html [02:33] xubuntu043: to dual boot it's usually a lot easier if windows is already installed first, then you install another OS [02:34] windows is on the desktop. [02:34] because when you install any version of windows, it grabs control of the master boot record and pretends it's the only "OS" in existence. [02:34] will need to partition the drive before an install, but wanted to see if it could use the current hardware resources first. [02:34] yeah, you can easily do that from the ubuntu install [02:34] sweet. [02:35] there's a more advanced partition tool also, that comes on the install [02:35] and that's with the lubuntu ISO? [02:35] anyway i'm off to bed.. good night everyone [02:35] yeah also [02:35] thank you delt. 'night! [02:35] it's basically the same installer [02:35] good night! [02:35] ok cool. wish me luck. :-) [02:36] Anyone get XF86Sleep to work on 14.04? [02:36] if you're still here, last question: [02:36] my video card is a PCI slot card (mobo doesn't have a AGP slot). [02:36] will lubuntu catch that natively? [03:28] hello folks. is it safe to get rid of thunar and just use pcman? [03:28] kupo_: why get rid? why not just use pcman? [03:29] figure not using. why have it. if it's a big issue and would destroy my menu or panel. no biggie [03:29] kupo_: why get rid of it? the few mb's of space? [03:29] kupo_: if you want to get rid of it, you can.. i wouldnt though, it will likely pull out more than you think [03:30] kupo_ agreed. keep it, don't delete it. [03:30] kupo_: and, you literally get a small-ish chunk of a larger disk back [03:30] ok. i won't. not trying to mess system up right now. already done two fresh installs past day or so heh [03:48] I don't really get why the indicator plugin is needed. [03:49] I'm guessing it's to offer the same kind of tray integration as is on Unity? seems to have drawbacks though like not being able to hover for tooltips [03:50] and accessing Skype is 2 clicks instead of one. maybe it's more comfortable if you're coming from Unity though. [03:50] you can hide certain indicators or remove it though [03:51] yeah i removed it entirely. i gave it a try but couldnt figure out why i would need it [03:52] what is the proper way to make ip rules and ip routes persistent in xubuntu? I've been trying to use iptables-save and iptables-restore, but it doesn't appear that my routes or rules are persisting using this method. [04:08] Back, asked a question but had to leave for an appointment. I installed xubuntu 14.04 dual boot with Windows, but right at the end the grub installation failed. To even get xubuntu on the same drive as Windows I had to custom partition it as it was hidden from the first menu. I told it to put the bootloader on the same partition as the windows one & xubuntu on a new partition. What are my options for fixing this? [04:10] my indicator plugin is displaying the menubar for the active window, causing constant crashing of the indicator plugin [04:11] any idea how i can fix this? [04:14] CyborgCygnus, i would just re-install xubuntu, [04:14] henry_, I tried that, same problem [04:15] boot-repair wont install so i dont know [04:15] henry_, I ran a boot repair from the live usb [04:15] well you can manually install boot repair but that could be harmful [04:15] henry_, It didn't pick up the xubuntu on the SSD partition [04:16] open gparted b4 trying to install. delete everything but windows and start over? [04:16] henry_, Would reinstalling with a seperate partition for the grub work? [04:16] install grub to disk, not partition [04:17] henry_, I don't know, I'll try another reinstall [04:18] sda = disk whereas sda1 = partition [04:18] My indicator plugin is displaying the menubar for the active window, causing constant crashing of the indicator plugin. Any idea how i can fix this? [04:20] eg: having xchat as the active window casues a crash loop unless i choose to remove the plugin [04:46] could anybody provide any idea to solve the problem of huawei e355 usb modem with xubuntu 14.04? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309054 [04:46] Launchpad bug 1309054 in modemmanager (Ubuntu) "huawei E355 usb router not working properly in xubuntu 14.04" [Undecided,New] [04:51] abhra, keep to the one channel, dont crosspost [04:54] bazhang, very well. i will wait for the answer in this channel then. [04:56] hey abhra cant help ut have you tried the ubuntuforums [04:56] often very useful [04:59] mapp, not for 14.04. upto 13.04 it worked by default. in 13.10, there was a solution proposed in a german ubuntu users forum. they basically deactivated the changes made in the cdc_ncm part of the kernel; the changes made post 3.8 series. their hypothesis was that the modemmanager was not showing the changes made in the kernel. [05:01] ah [05:02] do-release-upgrade is not finding xubuntu 14.04 [05:02] how can I upgrade in-place? [05:02] what is it on now [05:03] 13.10 [05:04] whats the actual error [05:04] "No new release found" [05:04] Could be my mirror is slow [05:07] mapp, modem manager is not showing the ethernet-over-usb at all. wifi hotspot is available but not the wired connection. [05:07] I had to change the software update settings to notify me of any new release [05:07] It was set to "only long term versions". [05:07] Isn't 14.04 an LTS? [05:08] mapp, modem manager should show "wired connection" and one wifi hotspot. but it is only showing the hotspot,not the "wired connection" part [05:11] LiquidRain, sudo update-manager -d [05:11] it wont give you the option until 14.04.1 [05:11] henry_: same problem, it always told me "no new release found." setting update manager to notify me of any new release fixed it. [05:12] well thats how i did it [05:14] because you wont be given the option untill 14.04.1 [05:15] OK. Well I upgraded anyway. :) [09:47] hello,I'm having a problem installing xubuntu in a hp machine.... I had installed it like I did in this machine (packard Bell), but when I start it it stays black with an underscore blinking.... [09:47] is this normal... or you know a way to change it!

Holy flipping sock ducks is it quick on the SSD compared to the 500gb hdd [10:47] hi, i installed today Xubuntu 14.04 LTS. As before i wanted to use synapse as launcher. after: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:synapse-core/ppa sudo apt-get update i get: http://ppa.launchpad.net/synapse-core/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found is there still a good way i can install synapse? thank you for reading this. [10:48] yes you can... I installed it via a deb... one moment I see if I can find the link :) [10:48] I am sure there are others but this is what I installed from - https://code.launchpad.net/~synapse-core/+archive/testing/+build/5907622 [10:49] works fine for me [10:49] thank you! [10:49] * nlsthzn is not sure if there is a better way [10:49] He-e-e-ello ^ ) [10:50] iis this only for 64 bit systems? [10:51] ah yes I have a 64-bit system... let me have a look for 32-bit... [10:51] I have this small problem, when whisker menu button get's dark black, when you drag items from taskbar oO . Disabling the labels in taskbar is a workaround.., which I don't like : ) .

[10:53] no worries , pity the official ppa doesn't work for 14.04 [10:55] yes, since i started using synapse i cannot imagine using xubuntu without it [10:55] ts14ic: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10656 [10:55] bugzilla.xfce.org bug 10656 in General "Dragging a panel window button turns external panel plugin black" [Normal,New] [10:56] * nlsthzn also got whisker to work with superkey so synapse has a partner in crime now :) [10:56] brainwash, gosh.

The two panel scheme? Again : ) [11:01] brainwash, thanks. [11:51] hi! [11:52] I have upgraded my xubuntu installation from 13.04 to 14.04 but now my aptana stops w/o an error message [11:53] when it first stopped, I had an error message with something related to java jvm [11:53] but now it stops without any message [11:53] did anyone else had this problem? [11:54] Hi, I thought I would ask here first. I have just done a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04. I want to add AboutMe to the MenuLauncher under System. I have gone to the MenuLibre menu editor, but can't figure out how to show the menu items [11:54] Does anyone have an idea? [11:56] MopsieUK: remove all the categories from "About Me" except "System". This should move it from the System Settings to the System menu [11:57] (you may have to add "System" yourself) [12:00] mmm. I have done that and but its still not appearing in the menu. [12:04] so, like this? http://imagebin.org/306954 [12:05] I'm heading out the door now, hopefully somebody else can give you a hand. [12:06] Thanks Bluesabre. For some reason I have to logout first [12:06] but its working now [12:06] :-) [12:31] Hi. Anyone here? [12:31] !ask [12:31] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [12:32] I've got the problem, that skype is not minimized to systray in Xubuntu 14.04, anymore. [12:32] is there anyone experiencing the same problem? [13:29] Hi. New Xubuntu user here. Just installed 14.04 a couple of days ago. I changed my desktop wallpaper to an image in another folder using the settings GUI and now things are weird. The image has reverted to a default and I can't change it. Also right-clicking on the desktop no longer pulls up any sort of menu. [13:33] xubuntu770: sounds like xfdesktop crashed [13:33] err [13:33] srry [13:33] wrong nick [13:33] xubuntu307: sounds like xfdesktop crashed [13:34] what happens when you bring up the settings dialog? [13:35] anyone here that knows where I can specify number of workspace rows? [13:35] in Xubuntu 14.04 [13:35] I can't find the setting after re-install [13:36] Ha. No worries "Xubuntu07" isn't exactly catchy. The settings GUI seems normal. I can select wallpapers, folders for wallpapers, etc. but there's no change when selected. [13:36] christoffer: settings manager > workspaces [13:36] hey christoffer :) [13:36] ochosi, yea, I only have "number of workspaces" and workspace names there [13:36] xubuntu307: what about running "ps -A | grep xfdesktop" in the terminal [13:37] knome, hi, how are you? [13:37] Just a sec... [13:39] Help! [13:39] doesn't seem to be doing anything whatsoever [13:39] xubuntu307, what's up? [13:40] xubuntu770: just ask if you have a question, and a volunteer may be able to help [13:41] I think I have really messed up my installation of Xubuntu - it was all going quite well, until I tried to sort out the home network. I now have a core2 machine running 14.04 64bit, and an older machine running 32 bit, but they will not share folders or files. I think my error was to delete Samba in an attempt to remove a windows network. Somehow I have now got an inconsistency between my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname fi [13:41] les, and I still can't share folders or files!!! [13:41] christoffer: right click on the workspaces plugin - you can set rows there [13:41] properties ... [13:42] christoffer, fine, still recovering from the release :) [13:42] elfy, workspace plugin? [13:42] not much, Knome. Changed my wallpaper to an image in a differnet folder. Now the desktop is acting up. Can't change the image even though the settings mamger seems normal and right-clicking the desktop no longer pulls up a menu. [13:43] xubuntu307: please try to run "xfdesktop" from the terminal then [13:44] christoffer: if you want workspaces in more than 1 row - the option to change it is actually in the workspaces switcher on the panel [13:45] Hey folks, where can I get different themes for xfce? [13:46] I have upgraded my xubuntu installation from 13.04 to 14.04 but now my aptana stops w/o an error message [13:46] but now it stops without any message [13:46] did anyone else had this problem? [13:46] mpmc: http://xfce-look.org/ and many other places [13:46] star_prone, what is "aptana"? [13:46] an ide for php [13:47] star_prone, where did you install it from? [13:47] aptana.org I think [13:47] star_prone, ok, ask their support [13:47] @Ochosi: That did it. Thank you. I guess I'll move my wallpaper images to the default backdrop folder for the time being just to be safe. [13:48] I can't remember exactly, this happened an year ago [13:48] ohhh you genius... thanks for support [13:48] star_prone, we can't guarantee packages that aren't installed by default work, let alone packages aren't in the repositories [13:48] elfy, thanks. If I right click the workspaces in the panel I get the "settings > workspaces" but the "number of rows" only exists if I press the "workspace settings" from within the panel settings. [13:48] star_prone, good luck [13:48] at least until I figure out why/if changing it caused the crash [13:48] thanks [13:49] although java it is in the default repository [13:49] xubuntu307: there should be no need to do that [13:49] knome, aha I see. You always need some recovery time after meeting some deadline. [13:49] star_prone, i would bet the issue is generated by aptana, not java; otherwise all other java applications would be broken as well [13:49] I'm currently starting to get a bit stressed with my master thesis but I think I will be able to finish it in a few weeks [13:50] xubuntu307: you can go to settings manager > session and startup > session and make sure "xfdesktop" is there [13:50] xubuntu307: then it should get autospawned, should it die again [13:50] christoffer, good luck! :) [13:50] christoffer, and any plans after that? [13:50] knome: you're probably right, don't know what to say about it [13:51] knome, yea, starting to work for a Norwegian company but still in Sweden ;) ...starting the 1st of september [13:51] knome: apart from the fact that it worked until 3-4 hours ago when I did the upgrade and that the only error was java related [13:51] christoffer: you don't see Properties in the right click menu? [13:52] help [13:52] okay, in that case I'll leave well-enough alone. At least I know how to restart it now. Xfdesktop isn't in my startup list, just the Xfsettingsd daemon. I'll add it now. [13:53] elfy, aha, my mistake ...assumed "properties" was "workspace settings" but I have them both in the right-click menu [13:53] xubuntu555: just ask if you have a question , and maybe a volunteer will be able to assist.. [13:53] christoffer: :) [13:53] after the update skype is not showing in the systray, anymore. any trick to make it reappear? [13:55] xubuntu555: you can always try asking the skype team to address it [13:55] thet's true. thanks, anyway. [14:07] hola ayuda porfavor [14:09] instale la vercion 14.04 de xubuntu , pero al reproducir las peliculas se ven de color verde [14:10] !es [14:10] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

I perform the install with nomodeset as I did with previous versions of Ubuntu, but after enabling the privative nvidia driver, I reboot withnout nomodeset and it black screens [14:49] It's a clean install. nVidia prime was installed automatically [14:51] I would prefer to use nVidia Prime instead of Bumblebee that I used before, as I understand that it should be officially supported, instead of being hackish like Bumblebee is [14:52] knome: this is the error that causes my application to crash: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7307587/ [14:52] in case this is related to the upgrade [15:00] Vyrlokar, you enabled nomodeset in grub? [15:03] does the upgrade to 14.04 changes something related to java? [15:05] star_prone, did you try updating/reinstalling java? [15:07] fballs: no, I was waiting for competent suggestions [15:08] should I update/reinstall open java or the java distribution from oracle? [15:08] star_prone, no, it isn't [15:08] star_prone, it's possible that it's a version mismatch, but we still can't take the responsibility for non-default, not in repository applications breaking [15:09] star_prone, did you ask for support from the application developers? [15:10] fballs: with nomodeset, the laptop boots in low graphics mode, I used that to install. However, after installing the nVidia driver via additional drivers, I edit the grub command line to remove nomodeset, and it back screens. I can continue booting with nomodeset, but that gives me the wrong resolution, and disables the secondary screen [15:11] knome: do you think I just want to waste your time? of course I have asked for support even before I wrote here. I respect your time as much as I would like others to respect mine. [15:11] star_prone, i don't, but there is not much we can do about it [15:12] knome: it's not about that, but about making the problem known to the world in case the write person hears about it [15:12] another thing [15:13] is it a good idea to install java from oracle and uninstall open java [15:13] someone suggested that [15:13] !java [15:13] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [15:28] Anyone else having issues with nVidia Prime after removing nomodeset? are hybrid graphics broken at the moment? [16:07] to try to clarify for anyone who is willing / able to help; I had the older machine running ubuntu 12:10 and had used samba to configure it to allow network sharing and printing. I set up the core2 machine with Xubuntu when XP (whatever you say, it will be missed) became even riskier to use and was delighted to be able to choose which to boot into, and even more delighted to find I could run the xp machine virtually usin [16:07] g oracle vmbox inside Xubuntu. But I had problems with file sharing. SO I decided to remove samba from everything, and start again, and it seems that at this point, I have somehow messed up my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files, as I tried to create a domain for the computers to work in. I removed Samba, and then re-installed it, but I still have the old windows workgroups, and I do not have the option to "share" when I [16:07] right-click a folder or file. And, every time I try to use a sudo command, the terminal tells me it cannot resolve localhost. So I'm pretty much stuffed, baffled, and have no clue what to do next. things I want to sort are 1 resolve sudo issue, 2 fix hosts / localhost issue, 3 file and folder sharing between machines on same network. Any suggestions and support would be most welcome. [16:21] xubuntu770, are any of your machines using windows yet? if not then you can use a different sharing approach, like ssh [17:02] Does anyone else have problems with screen not lighting up on laptop after suspend. I close the lid and reopen, then it sometimes work again but I cannot change intensity. [17:06] c3l: it's a known issue [17:07] ochosi, good, then its not just me. is there a bug filed on launchpad (or what is the bug tracking system?) [17:07] yes there is [17:07] we're working on it [17:08] it's just a bit tricky to resolve and quite a few ppl are 1) on holidays and or 2) exhausted from the release [17:09] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1303736 [17:09] Launchpad bug 1303736 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Black screen after login from suspend in Xubuntu 14.04" [High,Confirmed] [17:09] ochosi, aah I see. great, thank you :) [17:09] no problem [17:13] hey guys, i have a work computer running a Pentium 4 2.53Ghz .

[17:18] on each page there is a set of letters, a name [17:18] I can select it as text [17:18] editing a PDF file is not really a trivial task. [17:21] the forget it [17:21] n [17:28] thanks knome [17:28] the fun part is getting the samsung wireless printer set up :P [17:28] you can try it on the live CD [17:29] don't know how well samsung printers are generally supported, but good luck [17:29] i've been researching it.. it's not a simple thing =/ [17:30] some say the open source drivers are better, some have better times with the Samsung driver [17:30] i'll just have to play around with it [17:31] I have a Brother wireless printer. Tricky getting the printer a static ip. Simple with the xfce4 printer settings manager. [17:32] that's good to know. I had some issues with cups on another wireless printer we have on the network [17:32] The drivers were readily available in this case. [17:32] yeah i've d/l the official linux drivers for the printer and the open source drivers [17:33] the computer is still on XP lol [17:33] migrating some things.. just backed up the palm desktop info [17:33] and all the diagnostic software is web based [17:33] so i should be good to go [17:38] hi guys, how to automount an ntfs drive at boot? I have to change the fstab file or is there an easier way? [17:44] amigamagic: fstab is the way to go [17:45] hello [17:45] I'm stuck, my acer aspire laptop's keyboard/touchpad isn't working in any linux release, tried it in ubuntu, xubuntu, fedora, tried googling but nothing seems to help [17:46] koegs, I think so too, thanks [17:55] hello everybody! I have a problem with sound card: xubuntu sees my sound card just at reboot, never at boot the first time...any suggestion?? [17:56] ...I have a notebook hp 2230s.. [17:56] haitham_bar: it might be easier to find an issue if you told us the model [17:57] it's acer aspire 5553G [17:58] half year ago i was running experiments on ubuntu/xubuntu, all worked fine [17:58] it's dead this time [17:58] the sound card is dead? [17:59] NRDisciple: different user - different issue [18:00] haitham_bar: someone with similar issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1555029 [18:00] seems a bios update/ and or booting with acpi=off worked [18:01] NRDisciple: if you told to me, I say you no.. [18:02] yes elfy i know [18:02] and bellu... what? [18:03] woah, thanks elfy, hope it's gona work.. one last question, is it possible to flash bios from live-cd? [18:03] im currently running on bodhi via usb-drive [18:03] no idea re bios I'm afraid [18:04] NRDisciple: excuse me, I thought you was referring to me... [18:05] not at all [18:05] haitham [18:05] anyways i'll go and stop confusing people :P [18:08] Hello. Was wondering if anyone could help me before I loose my mind. [18:08] yesterday I updated from Xubunduto 13.10 to 14.04 (running xfce 4.10) Since the upgrade I've had some icons go missing from the notification area (namely deluge-gtk and Dropbox.) [18:08] Both item are set not set to hidden in the properties (nne are), and from what I can gather I have the correct icons in the my icon theme, it has not changed anyway. Any ideas?? [18:27] it's possible to change a file owner in thunar? [18:27] I can't find the option... [18:29] sudo chown [18:30] wrongplace, I know that... [18:30] I'm asking if it is possible in thunar [18:30] sudo thunar [18:31] I tried that, but there is no option to change file owner [18:31] You could write a script and add as a helper app [18:31] it's so difficult to give a simple answer, like YES or NO? :D [18:32] I'd go with "NO" [18:32] I would like to know just if there is a GUI approach to change a file/dir owner in thunar [18:33] http://imovethings.blogspot.com/2014/04/linux-tricks-thunar-custom-actions.html [18:35] Kolor, thanks for the help, but your answer is not related to what I wanted to know (and btw, maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that with custom actions you can create a GUI to select which user do you want to assign to a file/dir) [18:36] afaik you'll not be able to change owner with thunar [18:36] You can set a context menu item to right click > chown through it though [18:36] Kolor, yes but then you couldn't select the user for changing the ownership [18:37] elfy, from what I've seen until now, I think there isn't such an option in thunar [18:37] maybe this is another thing that should be added in the future [18:41] I love the philosophy "keep it small and simple", but not at the cost of the usability. I know that from the command line you could do ANYTHING, but in a modern workstation I would like to configure my pc as much as possible with a GUI. My PC is not a web-server or a database server a firewall, or similar things. [18:45] then use something else - maybe the people using it are happy and don't want everything changed [18:47] I don't want to use something else, I will improve what I'm using now until I'm satisfied [18:47] because it's funny :D [18:50] * amigamagic is rebooting is PC after changing the fstab and chowned some dir, hoping its PC will not implode [18:50] oy! === mpx is now known as mpxii [18:54] * amigamagic is not imploded (yet...) [18:55] ok, I added my secondary ntfs hdd to the fstab and chowned its mount point, so that only I could access to that drive [18:56] it's strange... Everything worked on the first attempt... [19:00] what is the name of that tool to see the disk usage in a graphical format? Like a map of the drive? [19:01] boabab? [19:02] hi, is there any usb monitor app/service on ubuntu? [19:02] Pici, thanks, it was baobab... [19:03] err xubuntu* [19:03] something like lsusb perhaps? [19:05] nhoj, no, something trying to access usb [19:06] plro, what exactly do yo mean? Like when you insert a pendrive? [19:08] something like that [19:08] ill explain [19:10] im tryign to get usbjtag working but the app keeps trying to read the programmer, just keep restarting, asked on their forums, the owner told me thta can be happening by two apps trying to acces the programmer at same time, that maybe there is a usb monitoring sotfware meesing around [19:11] i try and cant find any, this is almost a fresh install [19:17] plro, i looked up usbjtag -- not sure what it is. As far as "something" accessing the device, the Filemanager might be probing to mount it. [19:18] pleia2, mistaking it for a storage device. Other usb devices like wireless or sound cards may also be probed. [19:19] maybe it should change the advanced options of thunar, related to the mounting of external devices [19:22] p1ro, the lsusb might report something interestin about the device but not what is accessing it. [19:22] p1ro: you got a link to this thing? [19:23] elfy, I just took a look at google usbjtag ??? [19:23] all I can find is some unsupported windows thing [19:24] connects to a JTAG scan [19:24] nhoj, tells me what is the device and its conected [19:25] elfy, link to what? [19:25] http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_a_USB_JTAG_do?#slide=2 [19:26] p1ro, we don't seem to know anything about the device. A web link would help. [19:32] Gridcube [19:32] thanks for your reply - yes, I do have windows machines on my network [19:35] http://usbjtag.com/ [19:37] USB JTAG is Windows based EJTAG tool for all MIPS core CPU. [19:38] p1ro: I think you'll be best trying to get help on their forums [19:40] p1ro, /join #usbjtag [19:46] I don't know if it happens to others, but on my workstation with an intel graphics board integrated in the CPU, the "square" that you should see when you move an icon on the desktop, is near invisible... [19:47] * near=nearly [19:47] intel G41 looks OK here [19:48] Anyone able to suspend with the XF86Sleep keyboard shortcut? [19:48] E.g, Fn + F11 [19:48] sometimes I see only a vertical line on the left of the icon, other times I don't see anything around it [19:49] elfy, yes im trying treir forums [19:49] i wanted to clarified that there shoulnt be anything messing with the usb [19:51] sysinfo detect an "Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])" but my cpu definitely is not a Xeon processor... :D [19:52] hi, since I upgraded to 14 .04, I get some errors with with gedit, that the file .config/dconf/user Permission denied [19:52] amigamagic, lscpu lspci maybe [19:53] nhoj, it gives to me info on the cpu, not the gpu [19:53] I changed the owner once from root to my mine, but now the owner is root again ... [19:54] is gedit over writing the file maybe with "sudo gedit .." [19:54] counter, you changed the owner of what? [19:54] amigamagic, lspci here "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [19:54] 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [19:55] The new Tahr... can it be trusted?
