[01:27] <ashfallen0> I have a weird issue... I have a qt app that runs fine as root, but crashes as normal user.
[01:31] <ashfallen0> anyone alive in here have an idea?
[01:52] <c2tarun> Hey friends, I changed my top panel into left side. Now the only problem is time is not coming in proper orientation, Is there any way to fix this? http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-sunday04may2014-072143ist.php
[02:35] <esterleigh> is this the proper place to ask support questions?
[02:40] <esterleigh> is it possible to get root access in thunar?
[02:41] <esterleigh> w/ mint xfce i could just right click a folder and click 'open as root'
[02:41] <esterleigh> but no such option w/ xubuntu
[02:41] <esterleigh> is my only option terminal?
[02:42] <c2tarun> esterleigh, did you try running gksu thunar from terminal?
[02:42] <c2tarun> I think so :)
[02:43] <esterleigh> no
[02:43] <esterleigh> does that open thunar w/ root access?
[02:43] <esterleigh> im quite a linux noob if you've gathered
[02:50] <esterleigh> ok installed gksu and good to go thank you!!
[03:22] <tomatosalad> Hey, in 13.10 I was able to disable the "scroll on other windows to switch focus" thing, but I can't find the option now. Anybody know where it is?
[04:04] <xubuntu716> Installing xubuntu 14.04 and I would like to know what it means encrypt the installation.  I had problems with 12.04 and runaway file duplication that soon filled my harddrive.
[04:07] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: it will a) enable LVM and b) encrypt your / partition (and maybe /boot and /swap, I'm not sure)
[04:07] <xubuntu716> Thank you.  Is there a way to delete files in the encrypted partition?
[04:08] <tomatosalad> yeah!
[04:08] <tomatosalad> the thing is
[04:08] <tomatosalad> with full disk encryption
[04:08] <tomatosalad> it's just a security feature
[04:08] <tomatosalad> what it means, is when you turn on your computer, before it even boots, you have to enter a password
[04:08] <tomatosalad> when you enter it, it decrypts the harddrive, and starts booting
[04:08] <tomatosalad> Some people need it, some people dont
[04:08] <tomatosalad> I choose to only encrypt my home directory
[04:08] <tomatosalad> that option is later.
[04:09] <tomatosalad> In practice, you really don't need to do it at all, but it's *wise*
[04:09] <tomatosalad> full disk encryption is a bit overkill for most people, though
[04:09] <tomatosalad> In fact, I'd say it is for the *vast* majority of people
[04:09] <xubuntu716> Does it work well enough that if someone steals the harddrive they cannot decrypt the files on it?  How long would it slow down the NSA?
[04:10] <xubuntu716> roughly that is!
[04:11] <tomatosalad> Your run of the mill thief? They'd not be able to get into it, without a security flaw in things other than the encryption
[04:11] <tomatosalad> I'm not sure what the algorithm that LVM/Xubuntu uses, but it's beyond adequate
[04:11] <tomatosalad> The NSA, heh, that depends if you believe the rumor that NSA has broken RSA or whatever
[04:11]  * tomatosalad checks what algorithm is uses
[04:13] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: It looks like it's AES-256, which is incredibly strong
[04:13] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: most people assume that it hasn't been cracked by the NSA, it'd be safe to say
[04:14] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: ahh, digging deeper, AES-256 is approved by the government for "top secret" data
[04:14] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: so, that should tell you something. It's used internally by them ;)
[04:14] <tomatosalad> xubuntu716: in short, your porn will never be seen by anybody but you ;)
[04:15] <xubuntu716> Except  your provider knows where you have been!
[04:16] <xubuntu716> I wonder if the NSA doesn't provide half the links in TOR?
[04:16] <tomatosalad> meh.
[04:17] <tomatosalad> Probably not the NSA, but a few law-enforcement agenceis
[04:45] <xubuntu300> hi
[05:23] <Monolith> Hi, I just installed Xubuntu 14.04 LTS to an old-ish HP laptop. At first the installer ended on a copying error, but after a second run it installed well. A few times though, an error message window briefly appears for a fraction of a second with the title of 'Defcon of [computer name]' This usually happens as open apps crash and I need to reboot. Is this a common message or was I hacked or something? It's a pretty intimidating titl
[05:29] <tomatosalad> Monolith: the odds of being hacked are slim to none. Probably a weird, one-off error
[05:29] <tomatosalad> Monolith: but it is strange.
[05:31] <Monolith> Ok, I'm just paranoid because of the name. Is it a common message at all? Nothing has come up searching google.
[05:45] <tomatosalad> Yeah, no idea.
[05:45] <tomatosalad> Run a reinstall, see if it happens again
[07:28] <meek_geek> sup
[08:02] <dreamon> Good Morning. Installed xfce on Ubuntu 14.04. where can I deativate desktop changing when moving a window to the sides?
[08:05] <brainwash> dreamon: settings manager > window manager > advanced
[08:07] <dreamon> brainwash, thank you.
[08:07] <brainwash> :)
[08:08] <dreamon> a few more questions do I have :)
[08:13] <dreamon> I added in panel a objekt (its not in englisch, therefore I describe). I can see bluetooth, email, time, -> xfce4-indicator-plugin. I cant hide oder move their positions of the symbols.
[08:15] <dreamon> the other thing is, xfce is freezing some time. cant move mouse anymore.
[08:15] <dreamon> STRG+F1 and back with STRG+F7 it goes on woring.
[08:41] <brainwash> dreamon: did you try to relog after doing some changes in the indicator plugin settings dialog?
[08:41] <dreamon> brainwash, Yes. this problem is there all the time.
[08:43] <brainwash> it's most likely bug 1314042
[08:44] <brainwash> dreamon: does the whole desktop freeze or only the mouse?
[08:47] <dreamon> brainwash, hole desktop
[08:49] <dreamon> I think since I installed nvidia. (using prime, so I can switch between intel an d nvidia
[08:50] <brainwash> mmh, maybe that's the cause
[08:50] <brainwash> some sort of gpu lock up
[08:50] <tomatosalad> How do I disable scroll-to-focus window in 14.04? I used to have it set not to do so
[08:51] <dreamon> I will keep this in mind, and switching back to see am I right or not.
[08:53] <brainwash> dreamon: you should also take a look at some log files like /var/log/syslog
[08:55] <brainwash> tomatosalad: settings manager > window manager > focus
[08:56] <tomatosalad> brainwash: it's not there, I looked
[08:56] <brainwash> what exactly is missing?
[08:56] <brainwash> http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/preferences#focus
[08:57] <brainwash> you need to alter the "raise on focus/click" options
[08:57] <tomatosalad> brainwash: no. It used to be in mouse behavior settings I could disable the scrolling focus
[08:57] <brainwash> mmh
[08:58] <brainwash> not clue then
[08:58] <brainwash> no
[09:18] <JohnN> when I wake my machine I'm getting a login which says "light display manager" at the top that doesn't recognise my password any ideas how to get rid or set the password?
[10:08] <BBLLCC> hi
[10:09] <BBLLCC> xubuntu 14.04 64 bits, every time I boot the system it takes 40 seconds to check something (bios maybe?) all I see is a white cursor and then the system boots normally. Id like to reduce the waiting time, making the system do the check every 10 or maybe 15 boots. What do I need to do?
[11:00] <notwist> BBLLCC: what is this "the check" that you are talking about? sounds like you're assuming a bunch of stuff that you don't really know
[11:01] <notwist> JohnN: try pressing ctrl+alt+F6 to get into a non-graphical prompt and see if you can login there. most likely you can't so you'll need to reset the password, if you don't have another user on the system with root access you can boot in safe mode and get root from there I believe. You should be able to google the rest
[11:44] <flux242> What bothers me is that network manager after clean boot asks for a keyring password to connect to my access point. After entering the password network manager won't connect to the station automatically. So every time after a new boot I have to enter the password and then connect manually. And it wasn't like that previously with the 13.04. What's your experience?
[11:49] <brainwash> flux242: is gnome-keyring-daemon running in the background?
[11:50] <flux242> yes, otherwise I wouldn't get the enter password dialog
[11:56] <brainwash> works fine here
[11:57] <brainwash> maybe try to reproduce it with a new user account
[11:57] <brainwash> or is this a fresh installation anyway?
[11:58] <flux242> well, home is old
[11:58] <flux242> its on a different partition
[12:00] <flux242> i could try to dpkg-reconfigure nm
[12:01] <flux242> but it's good to know that this is just a local problem. Thanks for helping
[12:16] <BBLLCC> no notwist i have no idea, thats why i ask
[12:18] <starrats> How do you release the on screen keyboard to return to your regular keyboard?
[12:19] <meek_geek> sup
[12:27] <starrats> Anyone with an answer to my question above?
[12:32] <FrancescoC> Hi everyone
[12:33] <FrancescoC> Maybe someone can help me
[12:33] <cfhowlett> !details|FrancescoC
[12:35] <FrancescoC> Since i upgraded to xubuntu 14.04, it continues randomly logging me off. I didn't change anything, just upgraded
[12:53] <meek_geek> FrancescoC, Are you having a lot of prop. software on your xubuntu ?
[13:21] <starrats> any answer to my question above?
[13:35] <meek_geek> starrats, I do not get your question
[13:39] <starrats> well you have the capabilities of having a 'virtual keyboard on your screen in xubuntu at startup, if you use it and get logged in with your password when you go to use your keyboard on the laptop or your keyboard with your tower/desktop, those keys are frozen, at least mine, so is there a way to release the virtual keyboard to return to your regular one?
[13:40] <starrats> cannot explain it nay better meek_geek
[13:41] <elfy> starrats: settings manager - acceesibility - asssistive tech - is that ticked? if it is untick it
[13:41] <meek_geek> ^^
[13:43] <starrats> not ticked at all
[13:43] <elfy> no idea then
[13:44] <elfy> might be in settings - onboard actually
[13:44] <starrats> ah okay
[13:47] <meek_geek> starrats, Setting - onboard - Show Onboard while editing text
[13:47] <meek_geek> Try that one
[13:52] <starrats> well the 'Show onboard while editing test' was off/not ticked
[13:54] <xubuntu932> i need some help with pulse audio, if someone has time to give me a little hand. It keep switching between headphones and speakers and i can't seem to make it work (xubuntu 14.04)
[13:54] <meek_geek> starrats, I think you need to look into more settings yourself then
[13:56] <starrats> I guess I will have to, been looking thru the different ones on setting mgr.  might have to google this problem/bug
[14:04] <xubuntu932> anyone?
[14:04] <bazhang> !info pavucontrol
[14:05] <bazhang> !info padevchooser
[14:05] <bazhang> try those for a start
[14:08] <xubuntu932> pavucontrol is the main issue actually. Whatever i try on setting the audio, it goes on it's own and starts switching between speekers and headphones (no headphones attached)
[14:09] <xubuntu932> i managed to make it stop by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa by commenting "load-module module-switch-on-port-available" but in that case only the headphones (if attached) work, not the speakers
[14:11] <bazhang> file a bug, and the give the *full* info as you just did, not like earlier
[14:12] <xubuntu932> i have a packard bell easynote notebook. Audio device when inserting "asplay -l" results: Intel [HDA] AD1986A Analog
[14:12] <starrats> I went to google, found a ubuntu page with the problem I'm having so I hope this will help me down the road when I log out, which i'm not going to do until tonight when I shut down my comp. if I shut down at all.  Wish there was a 'button' at night to do or just close the lappie like windows and put your password in with out any freezing, which I'm still experiencing.
[14:14] <skribblezatcha> starrats what issue are you having if you dont mind me asking?
[14:16] <xubuntu932> bazhang i'm still pretty much a newbie to linux in general, and all the info that i posted was thanks to some links i found on the net. Where should i post a bug report? And are there any more things i must post other than what i already mentioned?
[14:18] <starrats> My issue is that when I shutdown at night or have to restart the computer because it's 'requesting' me to after updating, when I get to the logon screen to initate my password it won't let me.  i have to shutdown a few times to get to do so, it's driving me nuts.  I even bought a new mouse thinking this would solve the issue but hasn't.
[14:21] <skribblezatcha> o i see. have you tried disabling light locker?
[14:21] <starrats> This 'freezing' of the cursor does not happen on my windows side of this dual partition just xubuntu.  Almost tempted to try ubuntu but not sure if that would do any good.
[14:22] <bazhang> !bug | xubuntu932
[14:22] <skribblezatcha> well first, do you have a swap partition starrats?
[14:22] <xubuntu932> bazhang thank you
[14:23] <starrats> let me see, check gparted, brb
[14:24] <skribblezatcha> ok, take your time.
[14:27] <starrats> per gparted = Linux Swap Size-3.48GiB/Used-4.00KiB/Unused-3.48
[14:28] <starrats> oh by the way it's on /dev/sda5
[14:29] <skribblezatcha> ok cool starrats. what is your ram in that system if you dont mind me asking starrats?
[14:30] <starrats> I forget but it's a lot, is there a way on term to tell me or I would have to go to my windows partition and find out, lol
[14:31] <skribblezatcha> do you have inxi installed starrats?
[14:31] <starrats> I do not know?
[14:32] <starrats> would not know where to look for it
[14:32] <starrats> or if it's installed
[14:33] <zleap> hello
[14:33] <skribblezatcha> ok cool, in terminal enter sudo apt-get install inxi starrats.
[14:33] <skribblezatcha> once its installed let me know please.
[14:33] <starrats> ok
[14:34] <zleap> i have a new install of xubuntu 14.04 it was working great yesterday, today I can't insall libreoffice and the whole thing keeps freezing then giving me a blank white screen and zero responses
[14:34] <zleap> i can ssh in so if it happens again is there anything i can run from the ssh session to help figure out what has caused the crash
[14:35] <starrats> It's done installing
[14:36] <skribblezatcha> ok cool, now in terminal enter sudo inxi starrats.
[14:36] <skribblezatcha> you will see your mem there.
[14:37] <skribblezatcha> the amount after / is your total ram installed.
[14:39] <starrats> this is my report from term on that request sorry posting the msg here:  CPU~Dual core AMD A4-3305M APU with Radeon HD Graphics (-MCP-) clocked at Min:800.000Mhz Max:1600.000Mhz Kernel~3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 Up~2:25 Mem~851.9/3427.8MB HDD~500.1GB(0.9% used) Procs~173 Client~Shell inxi~1.9.17
[14:41] <skribblezatcha> ok cool, 4gb of ram, thanks starrats.
[14:41] <skribblezatcha> ummm, ok..now have you tried disabling lightlocker starrats?
[14:43] <starrats> ok
[14:44] <skribblezatcha> do you know how to do that?
[14:45] <starrats> yes and done, went to settings mgr>lightlocker>turned off locking
[14:45] <starrats> it was 'on' now it's 'off'
[14:48] <skribblezatcha> ok cool.:) now see if that helps. when it goes to sleep..you should now just be able to move a mouse and it wake up and everything be ok.
[14:49] <starrats> should restart now or just waiting until tonight when i shutdown for the evening?
[14:50] <skribblezatcha> it depends on when you want to know if it works or not.
[14:50] <starrats> ah ok
[14:50] <skribblezatcha> or when you want it to start working.;)
[14:50] <skribblezatcha> i would do it now, so that it works for this evening just in case you decide not to shutdown.
[14:52] <starrats> this command was given to me by drc 'synclient TouchPadOff=1' when i put in my new USB mouse yesterday,  At startup the Touchpad is still active but when I'm here or any other site the TouchPad is disabled
[14:53] <skribblezatcha> so is that why you dont want to shutdwn?
[15:07] <starrats> I shutdown because I don't want to leave the computer on all night, well it does go to sleep and if that's okay I will do that starting tonight
[15:08] <skribblezatcha> i hear you. i shutdown too..so i know exactly what you mean.
[15:09] <flux242> starrats: you problem is that you cannot enter password at login?
[15:10] <starrats> correct flux242 after turning on comp in the morning after a night of shutdown or sometimes after a re-start
[15:11] <flux242> I do not know what the problem, but you can skip the login screen completely. Switch on auto login for you user
[15:11] <starrats> I push the the starting key of my password and it won't put in the 'dot'
[15:11] <skribblezatcha> i thought that you were having issues with waking up from a sleep.
[15:12] <skribblezatcha> because the screen locker was messing things up. my fault starrats.
[15:12] <flux242> starrats: if you have complete xubuntu installed then there should be Users menu in the setting
[15:13] <flux242> starrats: there you can switch on auto login
[15:19] <starrats> don't worry skrbblezatcha and flux242 auto login by going from me to 'user accout at the login screen where PW goes?
[15:23] <flux242> I don't follow
[15:24] <starrats> at the login screen I have a choice that is my name, 'other' and 'user' I believe, is that what you are telling me to go to user and login?
[15:26] <flux242> no, go to setting manager, find users and groups
[15:31] <starrats> ah okay
[15:36] <starrats> flux242 just created a user
[15:40] <flux242> you could user your current user
[15:42] <starrats> well when I log off for whatever reason I will be trying this,  Is this the 'auto login' you are saying to me?
[15:44] <flux242> yes
[15:44] <starrats> ah ok
[15:48] <flux242> starrats: you if log out then you'll have to enter the password. But usually you do log out only to change current user. If you have only one user you don't have to log out
[16:09] <stephanie_> just installed lubuntu and am having an issue with the firefox address bar: http://i.imgur.com/wS7SG4u.png
[16:09] <stephanie_> someone on the forums told me xubuntu was having the same issue
[16:12] <starrats> here's my new desktop:  http://imgur.com/e2fkVjh
[16:18] <brainwash> stephanie_: open a terminal window and start firefox by running "firefox"
[16:19] <brainwash> does it generate any warning messages related to your font issue?
[16:19] <brainwash> also try to run "firefox -safe-mode"
[16:19] <stephanie_> brainwash, (process:8321): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
[16:20] <brainwash> this will start firefox with addons deactivated,..
[16:20] <stephanie_> brainwash, i already tried that yesterday...deleted my profile, reinstalled...nothing worked
[16:20] <brainwash> the glib-critial message is "normal" and expected to appear
[16:21] <brainwash> mmh, it's the first time that I see someone reporting this visual glitch in the address bar
[16:22] <brainwash> you should file a bug report on launchpad, simply run "ubuntu-bug firefox"
[16:23] <brainwash> also add the link to the ubuntuforums(?) thread to your report
[16:25] <stephanie_> brainwash, ok
[17:46] <Guido1> Hello, I'm searchin for a program like "DDR pen drive recovery" for Linux. (Gparted sees the flash drive as unformated)
[17:46] <skribblezatcha> format it Guido1 with gparted.
[17:47] <skribblezatcha> or is there data on the pen drive that you are wanting to get off of it?
[17:47] <Guido1> Yes, there is data on the pen drive which I want back
[17:48] <skribblezatcha> ok, what format is the pen drive in at the moment?
[17:48] <skribblezatcha> fat32 is what its formatted as by default.
[17:50] <Guido1> I assume it's fat 32, but as mentioned linux shows it as unformated (windows xp, 98 and 7 too)
[17:51] <skribblezatcha> ok..well lets try this..do you have anything else plugged in Guido1 such as an external storage device or another pen drive other than that one?
[17:52] <Guido1> skribblezatcha: In the moment yes and no free port. I was hoping for an answer which i can try later
[17:53] <skribblezatcha> ok, well you will want to unplug the other things unless you can see the drive label..which if nothing else would be plugged in..a usb stick would show as sdb1.
[17:53] <skribblezatcha> so this is what you would want to try from xubuntu in terminal: sudo mount /sdb1 //mnt
[17:53] <Guido1> skribblezatcha: (In the moment the pen drive is by a friend who also has linux)
[17:54] <skribblezatcha> o ok i see.
[17:54] <skribblezatcha> well you would to plug it in, and run this command: sudo mount /sdb1 //mnt
[17:54] <Guido1> okee and what do i (or he) have to do after "sudo mount /sdb1 //mnt"
[17:55] <skribblezatcha> once you run that command you are going to want to open thunar (file manager) by clicking on the home icon on your desktop..then go to filesystem, and go to mnt. you will see the contents of the pen drive there.
[17:56] <skribblezatcha> if it mounts thats a good thing and thats what will happen. if it doesnt mount then thats a bad thing and you are in bad shape.
[17:56] <skribblezatcha> lol
[17:59] <Guido1> I tryed ddr pen drive recovery and found that there are files on it, but the names where gone and the demo version does not allow to recover. So it should be possible to recover the data somehow
[18:01] <skribblezatcha> well i told you what you can try, if that doesnt work then we can go from there.
[18:02] <skribblezatcha> the other way is to try and use gparted for data recovery.
[18:04] <Guido1> skribblezatcha: How can I use gparted for it? I'm very carful with that because I don't want to write on the pen drive ;-)
[18:06] <skribblezatcha> in gparted, you would be sure to be on the pen drive partition and then go to device, attempt data rescue.
[18:18] <Guido1> skribblezatcha: okee
[18:18] <Guido1> I also had the idea that I maybe just have to change something so that the pen drive is seen as fat 32 instead of unformated
[18:18] <zleap> is there a way to show the menu bar in thunar, please it vanished yesterday, not sure what happened to make it vanish
[18:19] <brainwash> zleap: ctrl+m should restore the menu bar
[18:20] <zleap> brainwash, thanks
[18:38] <zleap> brainwash, its now fixed
[20:09] <starrats> are you sure GridCube?
[20:09] <GridCube> starrats, ?
[20:11] <starrats> itwas suppose to be a haha Ah I didn't see the tail _ at the endof your firts nick, my bad, lol
[20:12] <GridCube> :D

[22:26] <nonya> My system like in windoz
[22:26] <knome> hardware information? kernel logs?
[22:26] <nonya> yes allthat
[22:26] <knome> i doubt you want all of the kernel logs
[22:27] <knome> try lspci.
[22:27] <nonya> like what my kernel is

[22:28] <knome> 'uname -a' for kernel information
[22:28] <knome> 'lsb_release -a' for version information
[22:29] <knome> (and there is no "xubuntu 14", only xubuntu 14.04)
[22:29] <nonya> ok got it

[23:11] <nonya> hmm it only happened when I updated the software by Xubuntu
[23:20] <krytarik> nonya, xangua: It's this one: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1005501
[23:22] <krytarik> nonya, xangua: And this is the Launchpad equivalent: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1314924
