| drc | I'm having a problem with 14.04, the Network Manager (I assume) and the hardware wifi switch on my Dell 1420 laptop. On a boot, when the switch is OFF, 14.04 show about 75% of CPU being used (network manager). The second I turn the hardware switch ON, the CPU usage drops to a more normal level. If the switch is on when booting, CPU usage is normal, and turning if off has no effect on the CPU usage. This is new behavior with Xubuntu 14.04 (and no other dist | 00:46 |
|---|---|---|
| drc | ros show this behavior). | 00:46 |
| drc | Is this known, and/or is there a fix? | 00:47 |

| b4tm4n | what is the correct way to make ip rules and routes persistent in xubuntu? | 02:26 |
| delt | b4tm4n: i'd just add them to /etc/rc.local | 02:33 |
| delt | quick&easy fix | 02:33 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: define 'correct'. There's lots of ways of doing it | 02:34 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: I would put them into /etc/network/interfaces, but that's me. | 02:34 |
| b4tm4n | this is what i'm getting at - what is the intended/best practice of doing this? | 02:34 |
| b4tm4n | everywhere i ask i get a different answer, and I know there are multiple ways | 02:35 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: have you googled ? Just wondering, I don't actually know what the best practice is so if you find out, I'd like to know | 02:35 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, I've googled tons and all i can find is dozens of ways to do this written in comments and other various places with no one ever saying "you do it [this] way because of [this]" | 02:36 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: I see. Well I'd put it into /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/network/if-up.d/<script> to put all the network configuration in one place | 02:36 |
| SirLagz | putting it into /etc/rc.local would rely on you actually remembering that you put it there when you want to change rules/routes | 02:37 |
| SirLagz | putting it into /etc/network would make it easier as the first place I'd look if i wanted to change network settings would be /etc/network | 02:37 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, can you put iptables rules in /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/network/if-up.d/<script> | 02:37 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: you can definitely do it in /etc/network/if-up.d/<script>. That's where mine are | 02:37 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: it'd be a bit more difficult in /etc/network/interfaces, but it'd be doable with post-up lines | 02:38 |
| b4tm4n | do you have anything in if-down? | 02:38 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: nope | 02:38 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: if you wanted to clear rules when you took an interface down, you'd put it into if-down though | 02:39 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, so it seems like that is even a better approach than iptables-save and iptables-restore because then everything can be in one place | 02:39 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: for myself, I prefer putting rules into a file rather than using iptables-save / iptables-restore | 02:39 |
| SirLagz | but that's a personal preference | 02:39 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: use what best suits your working method | 02:40 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, i'm creating routing tables, but i can flush any remaining tables in the if-up | 02:40 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: first thing my script does is iptables -F :D | 02:40 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, well, it makes more sense from a documentation stand point to keep everything in one script as opposed to using iptables-restore to restore rules and then having ip routes and rules stored in other locations | 02:40 |
| SirLagz | using a script in if-up also means that you can re-run the script at any time and the rules will be reapplied. Don't know if that can be done with iptables-save / iptables-restore | 02:40 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, yeah, it seems ignorant to me, but most implementations suggest calling iptables-restore from inside rc.local | 02:41 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: definitely. Point the noob to that directory and tell him to look through the file to read the rules to figure out where everything goes :D | 02:41 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: for myself, doing that would do my head in. I'd be running around in circles trying to work out where the rules are being applied from haha | 02:42 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, if you're going to call iptables-restore from rc.local, why not just put the script there | 02:42 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: if i forget that the script is in there, then I'd probably not look there | 02:42 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, ok, so i think you've provided the best input i've ever gotten on this question | 02:42 |
| SirLagz | b4tm4n: glad to have helped | 02:43 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, so the script in /etc/network/if-up.d/<script> can have any name and any valid shell script content i just need to make sure it's set to executable, correct? | 02:43 |
| SirLagz | yep. just don't put .sh on the end | 02:43 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, so no extension? | 02:44 |
| SirLagz | yep | 02:44 |
| SirLagz | It took me a while to work out why my script wasn't running. It was because i had .sh on the end lol | 02:44 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, ahh, you probably saved me hours of googling with that input :) | 02:44 |
| SirLagz | haha | 02:44 |
| b4tm4n | SirLagz, ok, i'm gonna go make these changes - thanks again! | 02:45 |
| SirLagz | no problems | 02:45 |

| xubunaut | hi, i just installed 14.04 from usb, but when i try to boot the newly installed os it says "operating system not found" any ideas how to troubleshoot? | 05:16 |
| ArcadioCZ | Hi, I broke my GRUB, what is the easiest way to fix it? | 05:58 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 ArcadioCZ | 05:59 |
| ArcadioCZ | bazhang> thank you. The link I already studied before I asked. :) I have a USB flash drive with the latest version of Xubuntu. Once I managed to fix GRUB smoothly with the installation, I stopped after writing GRUB. But in the current version can not. | 06:07 |
| ArcadioCZ | Thinking that I used to repair a Linux-secure-remix. Not that I'm afraid the console, but I'm not in it too much and afraid of losing data. | 06:13 |
| p1ro | if you only have messed grub you shouldnt be losing data | 06:14 |
| hehe_ok | how to del a few apps from 14.04? | 06:48 |
| hehe_ok | I want to delete xchat | 06:48 |
| hehe_ok | thunderbird | 06:48 |
| SirLagz | hehe_ok: apt-get purge xchat | 06:48 |
| SirLagz | for example | 06:48 |
| SirLagz | hehe_ok: or use synaptics to remove it | 06:48 |
| mapps | apt-get remove | 06:48 |
| mapps | purge removes config files too? remove doesnt? | 06:48 |
| hehe_ok | SirLagz: purge or remove ? | 06:49 |
| SirLagz | hehe_ok: mapps is correct. purge removes config, remove doesn't | 06:49 |
| hehe_ok | Aptitude is not installed by default here .. why | 06:49 |
| elfy | purge removes system conf files as well - not ones in your/home | 06:49 |
| mapps | ah cool thanks | 06:49 |
| bazhang | !aptitude | 06:49 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter multiarch problems on non-updated 12.04 installs, see http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 06:49 |
| elfy | hehe_ok: aptitude left cycles ago | 06:49 |
| mapps | so purge probably best unless you made custom config and need to backupD | 06:49 |
| mapps | :D | 06:49 |
| SirLagz | mapps: yep | 06:50 |
| hehe_ok | elfy: so I should not use aptitude anymore ? | 06:50 |
| hehe_ok | aptitude or apt-get ? which one is better ? | 06:50 |
| elfy | !better | 06:50 |
| elfy | meh | 06:51 |
| mapps | apt-get does the job fine ...could use the GUI package manager;p | 06:51 |
| hehe_ok | omg i saw articles on ubuntu wiki that said use aptitude instead | 06:51 |
| elfy | so edit them - that's what a wiki is for | 06:51 |
| mapps | heh | 06:52 |
| hehe_ok | apt-get purge <multiple apps> | 06:52 |
| hehe_ok | possible ? | 06:52 |
| mapps | yes | 06:52 |
| bazhang | list them all out | 06:52 |
| mapps | yea | 06:52 |
| mapps | apt-get purge a b c | 06:52 |
| mapps | :) | 06:52 |
| hehe_ok | ok | 06:53 |
| hehe_ok | xubuntu 14 is faster and better | 06:53 |
| hehe_ok | on my laptop | 06:53 |
| mapps | not tried yet myself | 06:54 |
| hehe_ok | oh | 06:54 |
| hehe_ok | I see | 06:54 |
| hehe_ok | I did | 06:54 |
| hehe_ok | I switch from debian as debian has ancient packages | 06:54 |
| hehe_ok | I wish Debian releases / a FRESH EDITION with latest stuff as well | 06:54 |

| kingplusplus | hello everyone, "synapse " has been removed from ubuntu 14.04 please how can i get it back or is their an alternative Application Launcher | 09:42 |
| kingplusplus | after upgrading i cant see the whisker menu in xubuntu | 09:49 |
| AtuM | I've upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04.. I only got 3.11 kernel available.. how do I fix this? | 09:51 |
| AtuM | I've just installed the "linux-image-generic" which gives me the 3.13 kernel.. | 09:53 |
| AtuM | strange that the upgrade did not do this.. | 09:54 |
| rayq | kingplusplus: i've replaced synapse with kupfer since its no longer available. Also the xfce application launcher is pretty good as well, and built in. You can change the keyboard shortcut and play with it | 09:58 |
| kingplusplus | rayq: which is application launcher? do you mean " Application Menu" | 09:59 |
| rayq | I'm not on my xubuntu box right now, but the application finder built into xfce...i think its alt-f1 or alt-f2 | 09:59 |
| rayq | but really, kupfer is really nice. Acts/looks just like synapse | 10:00 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, I've deleted .config .gconf and similar folders from my home and the new menu appeared.. :) | 10:00 |
| kingplusplus | AtuM: ok thanks let me try that | 10:01 |
| rayq | ahh...you were referring to the whisker-menu issue. sorry king | 10:01 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, after deletion, you shoud login again | 10:01 |
| kingplusplus | ok | 10:01 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, perhaps its best for you to backup those files.. | 10:02 |
| kingplusplus | AtuM: ok | 10:02 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, so if you delete too many, you can still restore.. | 10:02 |
| kingplusplus | AtuM: just .config and .gconf right? | 10:03 |
| rayq | whisker menu is just a panel addon. You can also add it manually. The keyboard shortcut must also be added | 10:03 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, I've deleted a few more.. can someone here tell us where the settings for panel is stored? | 10:04 |
| AtuM | I have just deleted it and let the system set-up defaults.. not an elegant solution but it worked fast | 10:05 |
| AtuM | I've also had some misconfiguration from previous upgrades.. nm-applet wouldn't show up and such.. so this "quick-fix" made me happy :D | 10:06 |
| kingplusplus | AtuM: i have done cp -R .config/ .config_backup/ and cp -R .gconf/ .gconf_backup | 10:07 |
| kingplusplus | so its fine to delete original and try right? | 10:08 |
| kingplusplus | maybe just this two would do? | 10:08 |
| AtuM | kingplusplus, perhaps.. if you make a backup it won't hurt | 10:10 |
| AtuM | any better? | 10:13 |
| kingplusplus | AtuM: thanks it worked like charm :) | 10:13 |
| kingplusplus | is their a shortcut key to launch application menu? | 10:15 |
| AtuM | well, It's a quick-fix that works.. but it's not accurate.. it would be best to know exactly what file to delete/modify.. | 10:15 |
| AtuM | I have an asus x501u netbook and for the last three releases I cannot dim my screen using hotkeys.. I've tried using different switches for some asus drivers but nothing works.. it worked in 12.04 just fine .. | 10:24 |
| mikeche1en | hi, in power settings i have laptop lid closed set to "lock screen" but the system keeps going into suspend when i close the lid | 10:33 |
| kingplusplus | anyone using kupfer? How do u launch terminal with it? | 10:52 |
| kingplusplus | please how do you switch workspace? | 11:10 |
| nomic | should show workspace switcher on your panel | 11:10 |
| nomic | or add it to the panel - right click on panel, then panel 'add new items' | 11:11 |
| nomic | add 'switch workspaces' | 11:11 |

| fortuneHuntr | i've recently been advised to put my network config in /etc/network/if-up.d/<script>, this appears to work, but my script is adding ip rules, which seem to get added 4 times. I'm guessing this is because the script is being called 4 times, once for each interface. i've tried adding an if statement to bail out - if ["$IFACE" != "eth0"];then exit 0, but that doesn't work.

| linuxUser | yes correct | 16:16 |
| linuxUser | not by choice | 16:16 |

| NRDisciple | anyone know how to fix a printing issue? I just installed the drivers from the website for linux (ubuntu 12.04 was the latest) and i'm getting a cups-insecure-filter error | 16:54 |
| NRDisciple | printer is a Lexmark Pinnacle 901 on wireless currently | 16:55 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: you really shouldnt need to install drivers | 16:59 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: have you tried just adding the device in the GUI? | 16:59 |
| NRDisciple | nope | 16:59 |
| NRDisciple | need to remove the drivers then? | 17:00 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: ok.. just try adding the printer.. connect the device locally via USB, and test it | 17:00 |
| holstein | !printing | 17:00 |
| ubottu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 17:00 |
| NRDisciple | i just deleted the printer | 17:00 |
| NRDisciple | not 100% sure how to remove the driver i installed =/ | 17:02 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: you'll ask the creators of the pacakge you used | 17:04 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: but, i would just try and add the printer in the GUI | 17:04 |
| NRDisciple | i did... | 17:04 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: i'll add drivers for nearby models, and test | 17:04 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: i like to test the hardware with officially supported operating systems to be sure the hardwarew is functioning properly | 17:05 |
| NRDisciple | the hardware is fine... was using it on XP and on Mint awhile back | 17:05 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: however you got it working in mint will be relevant | 17:06 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: still "a while back it was functioning properly" is all i read above | 17:06 |
| NRDisciple | added via GUI, still have the cups issue | 17:08 |
| esr | I just upgraded to 14.04 and the window manager selection in my login box is either hidden or gone. How am I expected to chage session types? | 17:08 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: i try nearby model #'s routinely.. what "cups issue"? | 17:11 |
| holstein | esr: there is a little ubuntu icon by your username.. look for and try that | 17:11 |

| NRDisciple | is terminal supposed to show anythign when typing that in? | 17:15 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: when typing what in? | 17:15 |
| NRDisciple | the solution given in that article | 17:16 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: i would try chmod on the file i am getting the permissions errors with.. i would log out and back in aftward if no effect | 17:17 |
| holstein | !chmod | NRDisciple | 17:17 |
| ubottu | NRDisciple: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 17:17 |
| esr | holstein: Ooops...my username doesn't showm I have to select 'Other" ansd type it in. | 17:17 |
| holstein | esr: you'll just need to determine what greeter you are using, and how to change sessions within it | 17:19 |
| NRDisciple | rebooting didn't help | 17:21 |
| holstein | NRDisciple: no one implied it would | 17:22 |
| NRDisciple | it was just suggested | 17:22 |
| NRDisciple | thanks though | 17:22 |

| amigamagic | hey guys, do you know if some recent update has disabled light-locker? I'm not able to launch it anymore when I click on the lock icon in the whisker menu,,, | 17:33 |
| ochosi | amigamagic: what happens if you run "light-locker-command -l" in the terminal? | 17:35 |
| amigamagic | ochosi, nothing happens... | 17:35 |
| amigamagic | should I launch it with sudo? | 17:36 |
| ochosi | and "ps -A | grep light-l" ? | 17:36 |
| ochosi | no | 17:36 |
| amigamagic | 13594 ? 00:00:00 light-locker | 17:36 |
| amigamagic | ^^^ that was the result from the above command | 17:36 |
| ochosi | right, so the process is still running | 17:36 |
| amigamagic | there is something I could try to make it work? (the light-locker) | 17:43 |
| amigamagic | or some log file where I could check what it's wrong with it? | 17:43 |
| amigamagic | I'm not completely sure, but I think it worked yesterday... | 17:44 |
| ochosi | hm, sounds strange | 17:44 |
| ochosi | you could kill the light-locker process and then launch it from the commandline | 17:44 |
| ochosi | then you'll at least get some output (hopefully) | 17:44 |
| amigamagic | I have to launch it with some command? or just "light-locker" | 17:45 |
| ochosi | just light-locker launches the daemon | 17:46 |
| ochosi | if you want to launch it with specific settings, you have to add those to the command | 17:46 |
| ochosi | "-- help" is your friend | 17:46 |
| esr | It appears that as of 14.04 the Xubuntu login dialogue no longer offers any way to get to a window manager selector - no pulldown, no icon next to my username. Is it hidden somewhere else? | 17:53 |
| koegs | esr: top right corner | 17:55 |
| holstein | esr: i have done su | 17:58 |
| holstein | so* | 17:58 |
| amigamagic | nothing... to me light-locker gives no sign of life... If I launch it from command-line it reamins in a waiting state and does nothing... No messages to stdout... | 17:59 |
| amigamagic | how should I do if I would like to change the user from the gui without logout the current one? | 18:00 |
| esr | OK, I found the rat icon. | 18:01 |
| esr | Now I need to get i3 to show up on it... | 18:02 |
| Unit193 | esr: Get it? Normally it's *.desktop files in /usr/share/xsessions/ | 18:26 |

| meek_geek | hi | 18:48 |
| meek_geek | best youtube downloader app ? | 18:58 |
| knome | meek_geek, there is no "best" app | 18:59 |
| meek_geek | knome, any good app / | 18:59 |
| knome | did you search the software center for any? | 18:59 |
| meek_geek | knome, I never search center as I do not like it and wish that it was not included | 19:00 |
| knome | meek_geek, did you search with apt then? | 19:00 |
| meek_geek | knome, they say clipgrab and youtube-dl is good | 19:01 |
| knome | so why not try them? | 19:02 |
| `Fibz | meek_geek, i just use keepvid.com | 19:03 |
| meek_geek | clipgrab is a nice app i used in windows / mac | 19:04 |
| meek_geek | but it would on run in linux | 19:04 |
| `Fibz | that needs updateing whenever google messes with things. keepvid.com has worked beautifully for me for years without needing to install anything but a cert | 19:04 |
| starrats | Wow hate to break up the orange and yellow but my whole page are those colors, lol, a lot of in and out going on! | 20:30 |

| juanmontoya | synapse is not available on ubuntu. Will the package be available soon? | 21:29 |
| juanmontoya | (synapse is awesome launcher I used since 13.10) | 21:29 |
| Unit193 | juanmontoya: Last release 2012, but recent commits. | 21:37 |
| juanmontoya | huh? will I be able to install it soon, then? | 21:37 |
| juanmontoya | the new default menu is kinda cool too | 21:38 |
| Unit193 | Not in trusty likely, it's been removed in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/synapse.html | 21:38 |
| juanmontoya | oh... well then. I'll adapt | 21:39 |
| juanmontoya | thansk | 21:39 |
| phmadore | what i want is for pidgin to open irc links. i went through all the prescribed processes. chrome tells pidgin to do it, but pidgin doesn't know how, or something. i even at one point changed the mime-type in the actual pidgin.desktop file. nothing has worked. | 22:23 |
| holstein | phmadore: do *any* links you click open? in an email? or other web pages? do you have your default browser settings setup? | 22:28 |
| holstein | phmadore: i'll help you with where to look.. click in another application.. an email, or a pdf, or something in libreoffice.. if it opens, then, go to pidgin for the settings.. if not, go to your system for the settings | 22:29 |
| holstein | you can also try a main #ubuntu channel or linux channel, since its not related to xubuntu or xfce, really.. might find a larger support channel | 22:30 |
| Artemis3 | phmadore, i don't think pidgin can open "url" style links. | 22:37 |
| endo | i'm trying to open an apt: link from Firefox but there is no program associated with it | 23:01 |
| endo | how do i get this to install? | 23:01 |
| Unit193 | endo: apturl | 23:02 |
| donc3 | Hi ! I have a little problem with flash in chromium | 23:11 |
| Unit193 | What's the problem? What version of Xubuntu? What flash? | 23:11 |
| donc3 | i can't put it in full screen mode | 23:11 |
| donc3 | 14.04 | 23:11 |
| donc3 | flash 13.0.0.206 | 23:12 |
| donc3 | this is how I see the screen when I put it in full screen | 23:13 |
| donc3 | http://i58.tinypic.com/35n81h1.jpg | 23:14 |
| donc3 | Unit193 as you can see the video is not showed in full screen it only fills a part of the screen | 23:14 |
| Unit193 | Yes, this I do see. | 23:15 |
| donc3 | Unit193 do you know how can I fix it?? | 23:15 |
| Unit193 | donc3: Someone else might, I don't use chromium or pepperflash, sorry. | 23:16 |
| donc3 | okay thanks guy | 23:18 |
| schreber | Can someone explain the major cockup that is this menulibre/libremenu that Cann. decided to thrust on us in 14.04 ? | 23:43 |
| knome | schreber, watch the language. | 23:44 |
| Unit193 | Please watch your tone and keep this family friendly. Menulibre wasn't a Canonical project, it was by the Xubuntu community and for it. Now did you actually have a question? | 23:44 |
| schreber | Unit193: yes. I am no fan of the Whisker menu, thus I removed it and restored/replaced it with the older style menu. I was pleasantly surprised that I could not easily edit the menu and when I was the whole thing started putting more recently used applications in the root/main area of the menu which is new and well completely wrong | 23:46 |
| schreber | It in essence began acting oddly like one would see in Vista or Windows 7 which again it odd. | 23:47 |
| Unit193 | There's a couple bugs in menulibre, yes. If you prefer, you can revert your menu (back to defaults, not to whiskermenu) and try to use alacarte, but that was completely broken last I knew. | 23:47 |
| schreber | so no real fix for something that really was never broken ? | 23:48 |
| knome | schreber, rather than complaining, why not file bugs and allow the software to improve? | 23:49 |
| schreber | Because I've filed the odd bug report and they simply end up in the rubbish bin | 23:49 |
| knome | which bug have you filed against menulibre? | 23:50 |
| schreber | Not against menulibre, I meant in previous versions of Xubuntu especially against Thunar | 23:51 |
| knome | as you probably understand, developer resources are limited | 23:52 |
| knome | i'm sorry if your bugs haven't been looked at | 23:52 |
| schreber | I know. Just venting. | 23:53 |
| knome | yeah, but please do that elsewhere the next time... :) | 23:54 |
| knome | the menulibre developer is in the xubuntu team and has been very responsive with fixing bugs in it, so if you have bugs with it, i'd recommend filing them now... | 23:55 |
| Unit193 | Right, *I* even filed a few bugs, because he actually fixes them. | 23:59 |
