=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:39] Could someone help me with trouble getting conky to start at boot? Specific to Xubuntu. [00:43] 135 people in this channel and it's always dead. Sigh. [00:45] RippSteakface: what have you tried? and what was the problem? [00:48] David-A: I followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky [00:49] David-A: For Xubuntu, no luck [00:51] David-A: Created a new start-up application with Add+, named Conky, command "conky" === gonyere_ is now known as gonyere === sku1d_ is now known as sku1d [00:55] RippSteakface: does conky start as you want when you type conky in a terminal? [00:56] David-A: I type "conky &" to start it, haven't tried just "conky" [00:56] David-A: let me try one sec [00:56] yeah "conky" starts it too [00:57] RippSteakface: its okay either way just to test that the config is allright [00:57] David-A: "conky" starts it as well [01:01] RippSteakface: is there any message in ~/.xsession-errors thay may relate to conky, right after you logged in? [01:01] RippSteakface: (as you can see, I have no idea what the problem might be) [01:02] David-A: How would I check that? Noob here :) [01:03] RippSteakface: do you prefer looking at text files with "less" in a terminal or with the texteditor, e.g. leafpad or mousepad? [01:03] David-A: I can do terminal [01:04] David-A: I just want to fix it, I'm sure it's easy I just don't know why it wouldn't work according to Ubuntu's page [01:04] RippSteakface: less ~/.xsession-errors [01:05] openConnection: connect: No such file or directory [01:05] cannot connect to brltty at :0 [01:05] Script for none started at run_im. [01:05] Script for auto started at run_im. [01:05] Script for default started at run_im. [01:05] RippSteakface: scroll forward with space and return, backward with b, go to end with >, exit with q [01:06] David-A: That appears to be it. [01:08] RippSteakface: is your .xsession-errors only 5 lines? happy you, mine is 296 thousand lines. [01:09] David-A: Yeah man, it's a new install and that's all it shows me. Scrolling forward doesn't do anything. [01:09] David-A: To be fair the .conkyrc is a custom file that I edited a bit, and it's in /home/*name*/.conkyrc [01:10] David-A: But it runs normally just opening the terminal and typing "conky" [01:10] RippSteakface: it should be used when you start conky in a terminal and we have verified that it works that way [01:10] David-A: Right [01:12] RippSteakface: if conky fails with an error it should be in .xsession-errors. either it fails silently, or xfce hasn't even tried starting it. [01:13] David-A: Makes sense, I have it in my application autostart list as named "Conky" and command "conky" and the box is checked. [01:14] RippSteakface: you said "trouble getting conky to start at boot". just to verify, you want it to start at *login*, right? [01:14] David-A: Yes login :) [01:15] David-A: Is it because I need some sort of privelages? [01:15] RippSteakface: stupid question, but you have logged out and in after adding it to "Session and Startup"? [01:15] let me try [01:15] woops tabbed [01:16] David-A: Should I killall conky first? [01:16] RippSteakface: it should stop when you logout, but ctrl-c or kill it if you want [01:18] David-A: Nothing. It also didn't save the position and size of my IRC window :( [01:21] RippSteakface: I am out of ideas. If there is a checkbox by the command in "Session and Startup", it is checked, I suppose. [01:21] David-A: Yup I really have no idea. Could it be a permissions issue? [01:22] David-A: I'm the only user but I don't know [01:23] RippSteakface: the process use/have the same permission as in the terminal when you try it. it's you in both cases. [01:23] David-A: So odd. Thank you so much for trying to help me I'll just do it manually I guess. [01:25] RippSteakface: if you rename you .conkyrc to .conkyrc-temporarly-moved, then you should get a default config. see if that works better? [01:25] David-A: Ok [01:26] David-A: .conkyrc has a command in it that says "total_run_times 0" [01:26] David-A: Would that effect it? [01:29] RippSteakface: see "man conky". man normally lets you read the text in "less", so scroll and quit like mentioned before. [01:30] RippSteakface: in the man page (and in less) you can search using / to enter a search pattern, and n and N to search for next and previous match. [01:31] David-A: ok [01:31] RippSteakface: in man conky you can search for /configuration settings [01:32] RippSteakface: then scroll forward using space to see all keywords, millions of them [01:32] David-A: Hah ok [01:32] RippSteakface: or search for /total_run_times if you are inpatient [01:33] David-A: Trying now [01:33] David-A: 0 makes it run forever, that's it [01:34] David-A: It's ok man, maybe I'll post on the forums or something - thank you so much for spending your time helping me. [01:34] David-A: I have to go for now, thanks! :) [01:35] RippSteakface: so here we are scratching eachothers head. it should be fine, but isnt.

Ubuntu is not fully open sourced. 2. Ubuntu is insecure. [14:26] I still kinda think he might be sold out :p [14:29] hello, i can't find in settings how to auto-login with a user at boot ? [14:37] xubuntu720: http://askubuntu.com/questions/51086/how-do-i-enable-auto-login-in-lightdm has several options.

[15:26] ./ccg_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_net-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [15:27] Im running 64bit. I found this lib in usr/libs so I know its on the system. [15:30] goneeuro: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133602/error-trying-to-run-gccg-while-loading-shared-libraries-libjpeg-so-62-cannot-o [15:31] goneeuro, sorry that's not the right link [15:31] goneeuro: see this one instead -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/143393/shared-libsdl-library-fails-to-open [15:32] Likely it's a 32bit binary and you have 64bit libraries, so it's looking for them in the wrong place [15:33] Thats what I am guessing also. I just cant figure out the command to install the correct binarys [15:35] goneeuro: I'd probably do: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ...then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ( which should pull in all the 32 bit apps and libraries of whatever you already have installed) [15:37] hey to everyone, I have couple of problems with xubuntu-desktop on ubuntu-14.04, that prevent me from using it. Maybe somebody know how to resolve this: 1. Keyboard shortcuts take long time to react, especially after login (seconds), 2. Logout doesn't se.em to work all the time, even when shortcuts start responding [15:37] genii: Tried that and it didnt pull anything down. I have all the libs installed I believe. Its just that gccg is not finding it. [15:37] I did some search on this topic, and didn't find anything useful, maybe someone would have ideas how to resolve this. Thank you. [15:39] slickymasterWork: Thanks for the links, but im still stuck. [15:40] goneeuro: Maybe try: sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2 :i386 [15:41] genii: E: Unable to locate package [15:41] goneeuro: What version of Xubuntu are you using? [15:41] !info libsdl-net1.2 [15:41] 14.04 [15:41] libsdl-net1.2 (source: sdl-net1.2): Network library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2, libraries. In component universe, is optional.

But the wife just called me so I have to go out now. Thanks for the help and I will be back on in a little while. Thanks again. [15:45] goneeuro: I'll be here for about another 5 hours if you need asistance later :) [16:35] Hi! Today 2 of my computers died suddently and they won't install ANY OS no more. Can i be so unlucky or is there something going on right now? [16:35] Both had xubuntu 14.04 [16:37] tropoMobi: You have more than 2 computers? i.e., some of them are still working? [16:38] Maybe you had a power mains isue that damaged both systems at once [16:38] that was my next point :) [16:38] The other computer is 400 km away [16:39] The issue is same [16:39] tropoMobi: so you have 2 computers 400 km apart and both basically died at the same time? [16:39] Both loads Grub and i choose Ubuntu and then nothing else but power off [16:40] Not exact time but same day [16:40] This is very weird [16:41] Did you make changes to the machines before thy started acting strange? [16:41] I try to install for example win 8.1 or other Linux distro and they just hangs up at the very beginning of the instalation like loading UI [16:42] Just normal update & upgrade from lates official xubuntos repos [16:43] I really can't believe for bad luck but maybe i should... [16:43] I just wanted info this if there comes more broken computers [16:44] I just re-installed and updated this machine about an hour ago, so (for me) they systems works fine. [16:45] I ran hdd test and memtest from both and they were ok [16:45] I'd concentrate on what happened to the first machne (I'm guessing whatever it was also affected the second). [16:46] It's very weird because the hardware is damaged some how now [16:48] been reading this back and forth, there's a 'bug' in one of the machines [16:48] If you are sure the hardware in damaged, then I'd say replace the damaged hardware and start over. If it is truely damaged, no tinkering will fix it. [16:49] starrats: are you talking about tropoMobi's problem? [16:49] especially if the comps are 400 clicks away from each other. [16:49] yes [16:50] and that's klicks...clicks are for mice :) [16:50] old Army term click = kilometer [16:50] I agree...my guess is whatever happened to the first machine he/they/gremlins also did to the second. [16:51] starrats: I know, I spent 22 years there :) [16:51] lol, ok [16:51] troposphere: Tell us exactly what you/someone did that led to the problem (install, update apps, upgrade...whatever) [16:52] drc could the disc he used be corrupted some how, to me that's the gist of it [16:52] ok, both had team viewer because the other cpu is 400 km as i said and my mother uses it [16:53] very basic installation in both [16:53] i rw [16:53] back in ~2 minutes...dog wants outside. [16:53] updates and cobfiguration was also defaults from default repos [16:54] okies :) [16:55] both computers are about 6 years old so atleast i didn't lose so much money... i also have 2 dedicated servers with Ubuntu server 14.04 but they are different story. [16:59] updated and rebooted normally today those 2 dedicateds. Those 2 computers died on the fly... First one was at Grub menu today when i switched the monitor on and the other died meanwhile using Chromium [17:06] I leave this client here and wish that this will not happend to anybody else. Now i start to watch a movie. :) [17:06] ok [17:19] hello, is there any way to set "long" - two displays wallpaper without editing it and setting different parts on both displays? [18:31] pick cancel instead of star upgrade while upgrading xubuntu, how can i upgrade it now? [18:43] Hi, how can I restore the notifications position or reset the configuratin? even when I have slected notifications popups to appear in the upper right corner they appear kind of in the middle http://i.imgur.com/UkOE6cN.png [18:48] xangua: Works fine for me (big help I know)...is there anything special about your display...effects, dual screen, etc? [18:49] It was working fine this morning until I started to try themes, set up conky and plank dock [18:50] xangua: I'd set the display back to the defaults then make one change at a time until you find the problem (unless someone has an answer for you now) [18:51] That's assuming that setting it back to defaults cures the problem. [18:51] I installed xscreensaver and removed light-locker in a new 14.04 install. Clicking "Lock screen" in the Action Buttons applet locks the screen, but suspending the laptop does not. Any guesses on how to fix this? [18:53] Power Manager/Extended has the "Lock screen on hibernate/suspend" checked. [18:53] cavac: Well that answers the question I was typing. [18:54] I just played with the notifications position and restored it to the upper right, this was weird [18:55] I'm not sure how Xubuntu does suspend. Upstart script? [18:55] xangua: gremlins :) [19:10] Ah, found it! [19:11] In addition to checking the lock screen checkbox in Power Manager/Extended you *also* have to go to "Session and Startup/Advanced" and under "Shutdown" check "Lock screen before sleep". [19:14] Somehow it doesn't make sense that you have to active the option in two completly different Settings dialogs to do essentially the same thing. [19:15] Here's the link to the instructions i followed: http://askubuntu.com/questions/259190/xubuntu-no-password-request-after-suspension [19:19] I ha ve a circle with an exclamation mark in it in my tool bar for updates [19:19] How do I make it go away? [19:19] install secutiry updates¿ [19:19] I did [19:27] where is the workspaces in 14.04? [19:28] righ clic panel-add-workplaces === David-A is now known as David-A-Kenobi [19:46] Kekai: reboot [19:46] its gone now [19:47] anyone know of a mass id3 tag editor where It changes files tags for ubuntu [19:48] I use Easytag [19:48] easytag++ [19:49] But a quick check shows at least a dozen during a search for id3 [19:50] picard is good too [19:50] I have also used Ex Flaso in the past, but prefer Easytag [19:51] kirk was better :) [19:52] I think Easytag has better user interface than Exfalso. but I have experienced that Easytag may update files in a dir I visited without the intention to actually change any tags there. [19:55] Kekai: I don't remember the details, but maybe it was easytag decided by itself to copy ver1 tags to ver2 tags on files that did not have ver2 tags. [20:08] I used to use one in windows [20:08] I forgot the name of it [20:08] but during the move frm windows to ubuntu my songs got messed up. [20:09] I been meaning to do it sooner since its been a year, but stuff came up [20:12] easytag is the way to go [20:12] and yes it does auto-update tags [20:33] Hi, I'm running 12.04 but the update manager isn't showing me the notice to upgrade to 14.04 ... is there something I need to set manually? [20:34] IIRC, it will when 14.04.1 is released, not 14.04 itself [20:34] Yes [20:34] oh, really? why? [20:37] I suspect that they want to ensure any remaining problems are ironed out before updating the LTS/stable release. [20:37] and there are problems :) [20:38] lol even after the LTS :P [20:38] but I thought that was the point of the RCs... === David-A-Kenobi is now known as David-A [20:39] besides, in my other laptop I did get prompted to upgrade (although I think it told me to upgrade to 13.10, but ended up actually upgrading all the way to 14.04.. at least that's what lsb_release says [20:39] The problem is that the pool of testers (and their hardware) at all stages is small...no way catch ...after a release there are always problems no one even thought of. [20:41] hi guys, i would like how to set full numix theme on 14.04 xubuntu, I mean full because when I set it it only change the panel theme, and not the entire interface like menus, icons or menu manager [20:42] so I;m stuck with greybird [20:43] I have no idea what a "full numex" is, but did you also change the Window Manager to numex? [20:43] drc: I guess in the other laptop I wasn't using an LTS so I did get prompted, but in this PC I'm on 12.04 [20:43] numix theme [20:43] sorry [20:44] drc: I'm saying this because of this quote: "Upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release" from here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110477/ [20:44] that would explain the discrepancy between the two machines [20:44] waldir: That's what I was refering to. [20:44] got it :) [20:46] easy tag is a tar.XZ [20:46] I got it unzipped, but what do I run [20:46] is there a script to make xchat notify me with xfce notifications when someone highlight my nickname [20:50] Kekai: Use either the Software Center or Synaptic...it's in the repos [20:50] ah [20:50] junka: It's internal to xchat [20:50] I was using the tar [20:51] junka: Preferences>Chatting>Alerts, IIRC [20:53] thanks drc ! [20:53] junka: np [20:55] * starrats prefers hexchat for notifications and weechat for a lttle notifications, lol [20:55] so could anyone have a clue how to set numix ? [20:55] i mean I want even buttons on vlc to be numix [20:55] and I can't set it [20:55] ? [20:58] starrats, hexchat does not appear in indicator-messages :( [20:58] vladimir_: No real idea (seeing as how I'm totally ignorant of numix) but this might be a start http://numixproject.org/#artwork [20:59] vladimir_ have you downloaded and installed the numix icon theme? Or just the gtk? [20:59] pidgin does junka. [21:00] no just [21:00] the default [21:00] numix after I installed 14.04 [21:01] I was just on FB and hexchat lit up like a beacon and i came over here to read what you just posted junka [21:01] vladimir_: There is also this: http://www.noobslab.com/2014/04/install-numix-icon-packs-in-ubuntulinux.html [21:01] vladimir_ you're referring to the actual buttons in the VLC program? [21:02] Because I don't think those buttons are in the icon theme [21:02] They are native to VLC [21:03] Dry_Liphttp://i1.wp.com/smdavis.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/trusty_numix.png [21:03] ? [21:03] vladimir_: Some apps have their own icons/button/etc that are (calibre and vlc come to mind). No matter what icon set you have they won't change. [21:03] see the play button [21:04] vladimir_: That's parole, not vlc [21:05] ohhh... I see.. I'm sorry [21:05] :D [21:05] i'm newbie [21:05] :) [21:05] :) [21:06] Being a newbie is not a crime...staying one is :) [21:07] junka maybe because I have 4 workspaces and hexchat is dedicated to a workspace and it lights up that way. [21:08] hi, is there anyone out there whos got a fair bit of knowledge regarding A2DP and xubuntu ? [21:09] starrats, :) [21:10] Facebook beeps at me to lewt me know someone is posting something i'm following [21:10] let [21:13] wait.. was that a response to me, or is this because i entered the channel midway through a conversation ? [21:16] rasmus_: He was talking to someone else. [21:16] not you rasmus_ [21:16] thought so aswell :P [21:17] Whoever was looking, hexchat does have an indicator plugin, but it's mainly cp xchat-indicator hexchat-indicator [21:30] I need help [21:31] go on .. ? [21:31] I was changing my workspace settings and the counter got stuck scrolling through the numbers [21:31] now my work space switcher is freaking out [21:32] which panel are you using ? [21:32] 0 [21:32] no i mean like xfce or .. ? :P [21:32] XCFE [21:32] Could you revert to defaults ? [21:33] no [21:33] hmm [21:33] it stpped once I removed the switcher [21:33] I dont need it [21:33] ok === rasmus_ is now known as borupdk [21:40] loves his workspaces! [21:41] * adrenaline_ +1 [21:42] 4 workspaces for me [21:42] all dedicated to individual opearations [21:43] operations [21:44] I have 4 works spaces and on one of my workspaces I have a nx session to my home where I have 4 more workspaces. === David-A is now known as David-A-Kenobi === David-A-Kenobi is now known as David-A [21:50] cool adrenaline_ [21:52] I have had no trouble with the 'switcher', 3 of my workspaces include hexchat/weechat, firefox, thunderbird, the 4th I leave open fo other apps or terminal. [21:53] learn this from the old gang i hung out with back in the my early days of linux. [21:54] Ya I have 3 workspaces dedicated for work then my fourth is dedicated for home. Works out pretty good. [21:57] If I didn't have 'workspaces' then i probably wouldn't be using Linux that much. [22:36] is there an apt command to remove older versions of the kernal? [22:37] boot is full and I can no longer update [22:41] I always run a cli command to do that like if this is an old kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-54-generic I would do a sudo rm -rf *.54-* and it will take out all of the kernels and maps etc that are that have that number in the name [22:41] You may need to do it to a few kernels if you have a lot [22:43] sorry it isn't *.54-* it is *-54-* and it works I just tested it as I actually do have that kernel [22:44] Then do a df -h to see how much space you have now. [22:45] do you have any questions? [22:45] eegore, [22:47] I was thinking of trying apt-get autoremove [22:48] try it [22:48] Looks like that is working [22:48] I do mine manually is why I scripted it, but if that works too go for it [22:49] Looks like autoremove takes all of them out but two. I wonder if there are options to how many you can keep [22:51] actually it looks like autoremove only removes headers [22:52] maybe not I am testing it now [22:52] It is Erroring out like crazy [22:53] eegore: see if Computer Janitor (in the software center) has an option to remove old kernels or set a limit how many to keep. [22:54] This is an ultra book UX71A, biggest hard drive I can get for it is 256 GB [22:54] Ya auto remove didn't clean it up as good as I do manually [22:54] eegore: I think the sudo rm think 1) requires a preceeding cd /boot and 2) does not save as much space as actually un-installing the kernels. [22:54] and it is smaller than some USB stcks [22:55] I have to keep the software in it as minimal as possible [22:55] You are right you do have to cd /boot but it does remove all of the kernels you specify plus the maps and configs so It does create lots of disk space [22:56] the drive itself is about the physical size of 5 postage stamps end to end [22:56] I have to use it a lot because my boot is 229M and it fills up about every 3 months or so I go ahead and delete about 5 kernels and keep about 3 to be save [22:57] If cd /boot and ls you will see what I am talking about [22:58] if you rm -rf *-55-* it will delete any directory of fill with -55- in the name. [22:58] the i7 cpu, memory and mobo take up only a third of the laptop [22:59] the rest is all battery [22:59] and weighs only pond and three quarters [23:02] eegore: forget my comment about Janitor. it seems it is not available for recent ubuntus. [23:03] I am running an encrypted drive as well as an encrypted home directory [23:54] just got this link on the xuvbuntu page on FaceBook should we as Linux usrs be concerned or just bow down and start using chrfome/chromium? http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/flash-linux-future.html
