[00:06] <brasileiro> I'm trying to watch a video file but it keeps stucking at some parts, and then continues... it's like hiccups hehehe... when I open the System Monitor it shows this waves that occurs at the same time: http://postimg.org/image/hygsywq5j/ any ideas what this might be? I've tried to use smplayer and VLC
[00:23] <xubuntu866> What is the quickest way to download and install libreoffice?
[00:28] <brasileiro> xubuntu866, google: http://www.binarytides.com/better-xubuntu-14-04/ | short version: sudo apt-get install libreoffice
[00:32] <xubuntu857> will someone post instructions for downloading and installing libreoffice?
[00:33] <xubuntu857> will someone post instructions for downloading and installing libreoffice?
[00:33] <Unit193> You don't need to repeat yourself so quickly.  Just install it from the Software Center.
[00:33] <Unit193> !libreoffice
[00:34] <xubuntu857> Thank you. The repeat wasn't intentional.
[00:34] <Unit193> Ah, nice.
[00:59] <brasileiro> guys, I'm having jumps of usage at the CPU1 and CPU4 while watching a video at VLC ou SMPlayer... this is causing the system to shortly slow down, and also echoing the audio... any ideas?? I really don't know what to do... oddly the fan seems to increase its activity at the same time...
[01:03] <xubuntu290> Hi. I need help with loading Windows Wireless Drive program.
[01:04] <xubuntu290> I downloaded and installed it from the Software center
[01:04] <xubuntu290> it shows that it is installed
[01:05] <xubuntu290> but it's not listed among the programs on my computer
[14:20] <blinky_> Hi guys, could someone help me enable wifi on boot.  I have to click on the tray icon and enable on each boot.  Coming out of suspend is not an issue just boot.  Once enable I have no further issues just cant figure this out.  Using xUbuntu 14.04
[14:30] <paolo> blinky_, run nm-connection-editor, then click on your connection and Edit. Finally check that Automatically connect to this network is checked
[14:32] <blinky_> Tried that, it still doesnt work on boot
[14:46] <blinky_> paolo any further ideas? Do you also know how to view the amount of time the wifi has been connected to the network?
[14:47] <sveta> check dmesg
[14:51] <Other> Hi, could you help me please, I have HP Mini and I have so dark brightness, fn doesnt work and the settings is on 100%.
[14:51] <blinky_> how do i find out the connect connect time length from dmesg?  I want to know how long the current connection has been made.
[14:52] <Hedgework> Other: I'm at work at the moment, but if you remind me over the weekend I have a machine at home (not an HP, though) that had a similar problem and figure out how I fixed it.
[14:52] <sveta> i would ask #ubuntu, networkmanager and dmesg are not xubuntu specific
[14:52] <sveta> blinky_, ^
[14:53] <blinky_> ok cheers
[14:53] <Hedgework> My son's Dell Mini 10 did that when he first loaded xubuntu, and I remember he needed my help to get it to behave, but not what I did.
[14:53] <Hedgework> Luckily, I usually document my config file changes...usually ;)
[14:54] <Hedgework> Other: as general suggestions:  check BIOS settings, check ACPI settings, and check that any model or chipset-specific kernel modules are enabled -- those are usually the places this sort of failure comes from.
[14:55] <Other> Hengework: I'm going to check BIOS thank you, for now
[14:56] <Hedgework> np
[14:57] <paolo> blinky_, no further ideas sorry. is it checked or not? if it is, it should connect at boot too.
[14:59] <Other> Hedgework: I think the BIOS setting is OK, the bightness is high, but if I start linux, is too dark..
[15:00] <Hedgework> Other: Okay, so next check ACPI settings and/or whether your specific laptop needs specific support in the kernel for a wonky controller or something.
[15:02] <ironhoof> "I dont seem to be getting kernel updates.., my last kernel version is 3.13.0-24-generic, is this correct?
[15:03] <bekks> ironhoof: Yes.
[15:03] <bekks> ironhoof: Thats the latest from trusty-updates.
[15:03] <bekks> !info linux-image-generic
[15:03] <bekks> Hmm. Maybe it's not :)
[15:03] <ironhoof> "Ah, the only reason i asked is because I did get a kernel update on my netbook, and its a trusty too, and ive been kind of looking for them.
[15:04] <ironhoof> i got headrs... but not kernels
[15:05] <ironhoof>  uname -a
[15:05] <ironhoof> Linux ironhoof-sigma 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[15:05] <ironhoof> and dpkg reveals onl 3.13.0-24-generic, and the 'extra'
[15:12] <Other> Hedgework: I will trying in terminal - echo X > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness, X = 2 and then 10 and nothink..
[15:13] <Hedgework> Other: Some laptops' monitors go to really high numbers...have you tried X = 60 or so?
[15:13] <Other> I'm trying 20, 30, 60, 80, 120..
[15:13] <Other> Hedgework: I'm trying 20, 30, 60, 80, 120.
[15:14] <Other> Hedgework: Wait, I find something
[15:15] <blinky_> does anyone know if xubuntu has a system monitor?
[15:15] <ironhoof> i did a install linux-image-generic and it found them, is it safe to continue?
[15:16] <blinky_> paolo: cheers for your help anyway
[15:16] <Other> Hedgework: OK now It's good. I must shout down. And immediately afther push button to start laptop, I must pusnig fn combination to get higher level brightness and now its fine
[15:17] <Hedgework> Interesting.
[15:17] <Hedgework> I'd think there's a more convenient way to handle it, but if you're happy with teh workaround I won't worry about it. :)
[15:18] <Other> Hedgework: I still couldnt control brightness but I dont need it. Thank you for help :) Bye
[15:18] <Hedgework> no problem, have a good $localtime
[15:21] <ironhoof> perhaps somewhere i uninstalled the metapackage.. I don't recall doing so.
[15:28] <ironhoof> hold nose, and reboots...
[15:33] <ironhoof> ,worked..
[20:05] <xubuntu305> How do i activate all repo sources? I can't install libreoffice using apt-get install
[20:07] <baizon> xubuntu305: whats the error-message?
[20:08] <xubuntu305> There are a series of lines that say libreoffice... will not be installed.
[20:12] <xubuntu305> Someone asked if I had activated all repo sources. I have no idea how. I was also asked if I could install it using the software center.
[20:12] <baizon> well, google for the error msg would be a good start
[20:14] <xubuntu305> thanks
[20:14] <David-A> xubuntu305: i i r c libreoffice is in the default repo, and i i r c libreoffice is in dependency conflict with openoffice.
[20:16] <David-A> xubuntu305: maybe you have openoffice installed? but first find out what the error message says

[20:30] <mal__> Hello! I sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and I see there is some power management packets in there, and was wondering if they are fixing the problems with black screens etc? also, how to know what is being fixed in each pacakge upgrade, in general ? is there a site with a list or... ?
[20:30] <mal__> thank you
[20:31] <mal__> or, rephrasing... how to know what are they fixing/changing in the packages that are upgraded when sudo apt-get upgade?
[20:31] <mal__> thanks
[20:32] <David-A> xubuntu423: for video playing, have you installed package xubuntu-restricted-extras or something like that?
[20:32] <xangua> You can see the changes in the update manager window or read apt manual if you prefer it that way
[20:33] <mal__> update manager window
[20:34] <mal__> I can't seem to find update manager, sorry
[20:34] <mal__> I am searching for it
[20:34] <mal__> maybe a language thing, but translating it does not work neither... could you elaborate on "read apt manual"  please? you mean "man apt" ?
[20:35] <mal__> thank you
[20:35] <xubuntu423> I upgraded to 14.04 after a few days my sound was gone and now the menu on system settings is incomplete items have disappeared I've been in forums looking and searching for answers I cannot connect to the internet using a dongle and no WiFi can be detected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-29-generic i686) please help
[20:35] <xubuntu423> how do i fix this please help
[20:35] <elfy> !patience | xubuntu423
[20:35] <xangua> mal__: I'm not in Ubuntu right now so not site
[20:37] <xangua> Not sure about the commands but yes, you can read apt manual to see how to fetch package changes from a terminal if you prefer that way  mal__
[20:37] <mal__> ok thank you
[20:37] <elfy> mal__: first - the fix for the 'black screen' is on it's way back to trusty, to read the changelog with apt use apt-get changelog "package"
[20:38] <mal__> ah thank you elfy, it would be good to have a listing of all package changes to get an overlook
[20:38] <mal__> overview i mean
[20:38] <elfy> mal__: I find it easier in a gui like synaptic though :)
[20:38] <mal__> synaptic shows you that ?
[20:38] <mal__> from already installed packages ?
[20:38] <elfy> yep
[20:39] <elfy> click on 'package' in bottom pane there is screenshot and changelog :)
[20:40] <mal__> ok thank you, one quick question, how to see xubuntu's actual installed version ?
[20:40] <elfy> dpkg -l 'packagename'
[20:40] <mal__> thanks
[20:41] <mal__> no, sorry, I mean xubuntu's itself
[20:41] <knome> or 'apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME'
[20:41] <knome> mal__, 'lsb_release -a'
[20:41] <mal__> that was it :) thank you
[20:41] <elfy> knome: thanks - couldn't remember which - was just looking :)
[20:41] <knome> :)
[20:41] <knome> np
[20:42] <mal__> :)
