| xubuntu893 | I've installed Audacity and it works fine except that while using the application, it would lock up with no warning. I can't even force close the program, until eventually a message box would appear to inform me that Audcaity had malfunctioned, do I want to close. I proceed to close Audacity, and thanks to its backup, my work was saved. I've unistalled, and re-installed Audicaty, re-installed Xubuntu and Audacity will freeze with no warni | 00:03 |

| canurabus | Hi all. I'm trying to install xubuntu on a laptop. It seemed like I was able to install it fine initially. I restarted after the install and everything was working. Then I was prompted to update some stuff and I did... and after the update+reboot, it just gets stuck at the loading screen. No messages or anything, just a the spinning loading thing and the splash screen. Any suggestions on what I can try? | 02:27 |
| holstein | canurabus: the update completed? | 02:27 |
| holstein | canurabus: you can try booting the older kernel in the grub menu.. | 02:28 |
| canurabus | Yes | 02:28 |
| canurabus | okay | 02:28 |
| canurabus | yeah, that loaded instantly | 02:29 |
| holstein | canurabus: ok.. so, i would just keep booting that kernel, the one thats working, and keep testing as you get updates.. if its a few weeks from now and its still bad, you can look into pinning, or removing the newer kernels.. or, re-ordering grub.. | 02:30 |
| canurabus | but the kernel difference seems like a minor revision... it was 3.13.0-24 that loaded successfully, and 3.13.0-30 that hangs | 02:30 |
| holstein | !bug | canurabus also consider checking for a bug | 02:30 |
| ubottu | canurabus also consider checking for a bug: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 02:30 |

| DarkCrescent | Hello, I have a question about connecting my bluetooth keyboard. Is this the right place to ask? | 02:42 |
| holstein | DarkCrescent: sure.. | 02:42 |
| DarkCrescent | I've tried connecting my Logitech k760 several times using Blueman, but the authentication always fails. I've also tried it with bluez-simple-agent, but the authentication fails with no specific message. | 02:43 |
| holstein | !bluetooth | 02:46 |
| ubottu | For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup | 02:46 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/290330/logitech-k760-failing-to-pair-ubuntu-13-04 looks relevant | 02:46 |
| holstein | i usually start by asking a few questions and answering them.. is my bluetooth chip on my machine working and supporting linux? is the device im trying to connect working and supporting linux?.. by working, i mean, not broken | 02:47 |
| DarkCrescent | The bluetooth is working fine otherwise, it's connected to a numberpad, a phone, and another keyboard. | 02:50 |
| holstein | DarkCrescent: you mean, in linux? on the machine in question? | 02:50 |
| DarkCrescent | Yes, on my Xubuntu 14.04. | 02:50 |
| holstein | DarkCrescent: have you tried connecting the keyboard to something officially supported? maybe the phone... to see if its functional | 02:51 |
| DarkCrescent | The keyboard is a multi-computer thing, and has succesfully connected to two other machines | 02:51 |
| holstein | DarkCrescent: ok.. so, you can assume its functional, then | 02:51 |
| DarkCrescent | Yes. | 02:51 |
| canurabus | I'm trying to clean up some of the applications I don't need in the default install to save space but some of these dependencies don't make any sense. There's a "Mail Reader" application... but to remove it I need to apparently remove terminal and the file browser? and some other important xfce components... | 02:53 |
| holstein | canurabus: you really are not going to save much space, or resources | 02:59 |
| holstein | !mini | canurabus | 02:59 |
| ubottu | canurabus: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 02:59 |
| holstein | i say, if you want to go for a stripped down install, do minimal, and add xfce4, and whatever else you want.. build it up to the minimum you want.. otherwise, you should expect issues stripping out things that are "xubuntu" | 03:00 |
| canurabus | alright | 03:02 |

| Guido1 | How can I change the laptop name in xubuntu 14.04? | 08:05 |
| poeticrpm | Guido1, you can set it when you install | 08:05 |
| poeticrpm | you can change it in either /etc/hostname or /etc/hosts | 08:06 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: and after the instalation? | 08:06 |
| poeticrpm | I cant remember which it is on xubuntu | 08:06 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: okee, how do i change it? | 08:06 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: or is it not loked? | 08:07 |
| poeticrpm | Guido1, open the file /etc/hostname as root with a text editor and change from the current name to the one you want | 08:07 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: what is the comand for it? | 08:09 |
| elfy | sudo nano -B /etc/hostname | 08:09 |
| elfy | or gksudo mousepad /etc/hostname after you've installed gksu and set gksu-properties to sudo | 08:10 |
| poeticrpm | whats the default GUI text editor on XFCE? mousepad? | 08:10 |
| elfy | yea | 08:10 |
| poeticrpm | beat me to it :) | 08:10 |
| elfy | and hi GSF1200S :) | 08:11 |
| poeticrpm | hello elfy :) | 08:11 |
| Guido1 | elfy: first one worked. what is "gksu"? | 08:12 |
| elfy | !info gksu | 08:12 |
| ubottu | gksu (source: gksu): graphical frontend to su. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2-6ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 26 kB, installed size 172 kB | 08:12 |
| poeticrpm | Guido1, graphical sudo- it brings up a dialog for your password, then opens a GUI application with root permissions | 08:13 |
| elfy | it is no longer installed by default | 08:13 |
| poeticrpm | elfy: sudo is now the recommended way? | 08:13 |
| poeticrpm | I can remember being scolded for opening GUI apps with sudo way back when :D | 08:14 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: ah, i see. without gui is also fine, just needed to know the coments | 08:14 |
| poeticrpm | Guido1, yeah, nano is good for that sort of thing | 08:14 |
| elfy | I 'think' that you can use sudo -B to do it, but don't take that as gospel | 08:14 |
| poeticrpm | I use vim now so eh :P | 08:15 |
| poeticrpm | funny how times change. I once said Id never install vim | 08:15 |
| Guido1 | poeticrpm: and i think it also works by editing other ocuments with sudo | 08:15 |
| elfy | poeticrpm: I think it's sudo -H ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226005 | 08:16 |
| elfy | 'they're' trying to get people to use pkexec - which is not at all user friendly | 08:16 |
| poeticrpm | elfy: unaware of this, ill have a read thanks | 08:16 |
| elfy | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2225832&p=13031658&viewfull=1#post13031658 | 08:18 |
| elfy | so I can now pkexec mousepad instead of gksu - which is great, but I've got gksu installed and memory takes over :p | 08:19 |
| poeticrpm | Ive been using gksu over on arch just because i didnt know about pkexec. Good to know.. | 08:21 |
| elfy | it is a pita in truth - but there you go | 08:21 |

| napalm_ | But no qt themes | 11:59 |
| koegs | napalm_: with qtconfig you can tell qt to use gtk-themes | 12:00 |
| napalm_ | yeah I know. But it's just strange. It works when I boot in xfce but not in i3wm | 12:03 |
| napalm_ | but my qtconfig seems broken | 12:03 |
| napalm_ | could be the problem | 12:03 |
| koegs | napalm_: i am using awesomewm and i start "xfsettingsd --replace" + use qtconfig for gtk-themes in qt | 12:04 |
| napalm_ | does the --replace parameter do something special i'm not aware off? | 12:06 |
| koegs | it just makes sure that there is only on daemon running :) | 12:07 |

| meek_geek | how can I verify that my xubuntu installation is not compromised ? | 12:47 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, compromised? In what way? | 13:16 |
| poeticrpm | chkrootkit, rkhunter for rootkits | 13:16 |
| poeticrpm | check logs for indications of system happenings you didnt yourself instigate | 13:17 |
| poeticrpm | use a mandatory access control system like AppArmor, SELinux, or Tomoyo to limit damage in the event someone gains access to the system (by controlling what they can do) | 13:18 |
| poeticrpm | build the kernel with the grsecurity/pax patchset (which also includes RBAC which is a role based access control system (takes the place of SELinux, etc) | 13:19 |
| poeticrpm | rebuild deb packages with -fpic -fstack-protector-strong (if gcc is 4.9 or greater). Also fortify source (cant remember the gcc flag for that atm). If you really want to learn security, install hardened-gentoo in a virtual machine- you will learn then | 13:21 |
| peyam | Hi | 13:24 |
| peyam | I accidently overwritted the .bashrc file. does anyone have the default one? | 13:25 |
| peyam | I need to copy and paste it | 13:25 |
| soman | Can anyone help me? After I turn on my PC with xubuntu 12.04 x86 the first time (about minute or 2) my usb keyboard doesn't work. Cannot explain when it began. About a month or two ago it worked well. | 13:25 |
| poeticrpm | peyam, https://gist.github.com/marioBonales/1637696 | 13:27 |
| poeticrpm | you might check there | 13:27 |
| poeticrpm | first result on google search | 13:27 |
| peyam | poeticrpm, no diff between xubuntu's .bashrc and ubuntus? | 13:27 |
| peyam | yes Ive seen this link | 13:28 |
| poeticrpm | peyam, I really doubt it | 13:28 |
| poeticrpm | its certainly not going to hurt anything using Ubuntu's in Xubuntu | 13:28 |
| crimson` | peyam, http://askubuntu.com/questions/198730/how-to-restore-bashrc#198740 | 13:29 |
| poeticrpm | soman: what happens if you boot one of your older kernels? | 13:29 |
| poeticrpm | peyam, crimson` really has a better link | 13:29 |
| peyam | crimson`, Yes I hope its no diff between ubuntu and xubuntu as poeticrpm said | 13:30 |
| crimson` | only difference between ubuntu and xubuntu is the desktop environment | 13:30 |
| peyam | thanks | 13:30 |
| crimson` | and well the community and management of course but you get the gist | 13:30 |
| meek_geek | poeticrpm, ok the problem is a yesterday I did purge smc* ( hoping to remove a gaME CALLED secret mario something ) but it did remove a lot more ( including packages from xfce4* too ) which i did not notice as i just used the command and went out fr food ; the problem was i guess that it did not ask for confirmation for me the packages and started purging them | 13:31 |
| soman | poeticrpm: it works well if I load any of kernels and I have no ideas why. I should manually reboot the PC after turning on to work keyboard permanently. Also dmesg outputs ' usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed' near the messages about usb keyboard | 13:31 |
| meek_geek | I did recover the situation by booting into shell and then installing xubuntu-desktop ( but I believe something is wrong with the installation ) it did remove flash and some plug-ins of libreoffice .. removes java etc | 13:32 |
| meek_geek | poeticrpm, ^ | 13:32 |
| poeticrpm | soman, I am not sure exactly what you are saying. Does the keyboard work forever if you reboot but not on the first boot? | 13:32 |
| soman | poeticrpm, AT 1st boot keyboard work after some delay (1-2 min after OS loaded and desktop is visible) and after 2nd boot it starts to work without any delays. | 13:33 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, why do you believe something is wrong with the installation? What is it not doing? | 13:33 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, just to make sure, run the following commands: | 13:34 |
| poeticrpm | dpkg --configure -a | 13:34 |
| poeticrpm | apt-get update | 13:34 |
| poeticrpm | apt-get -f install | 13:34 |
| poeticrpm | apt-get upgrade | 13:35 |
| meek_geek | ok running | 13:36 |
| poeticrpm | soman: sounds like a kernel issue. I would suggest possibly considering a kernel PPA for 12.04 (if you can find one) and seeing if a new kernel fixes the problem. | 13:36 |
| soman | poeticrpm: thanks I will try | 13:37 |
| poeticrpm | soman, however, if you wish to upgrade to the latest version (upgrading to 14.04 for example), I would suggest reinstalling the standard kernel for 12.04 and removing the PPA. Just IMO | 13:38 |
| meek_geek | poeticrpm, dpkg --configure -a <-- what does it do ? | 13:38 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, uses dpkg (which is what APT essentially uses to install/remove/configure packages as APT itself is concerned with dependency resolution) to configure all packages that havent been configured. In other words, packages that were downloaded by not unpacked/installed/configured | 13:40 |
| meek_geek | because that command does nothing here | 13:42 |
| poeticrpm | then nothing needed to be configured | 13:42 |
| meek_geek | update is stuck at 77 percent | 13:42 |
| meek_geek | never happened before | 13:43 |
| poeticrpm | I listed the above commands as a precaution. | 13:43 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, thats prolly due to a dead mirror or link. Do you have any ppas? | 13:43 |
| meek_geek | poeticrpm, i never had any ppa but i did install smplayer/rvm ppa for latest player | 13:43 |
| meek_geek | but removed it | 13:44 |
| poeticrpm | thats fine. You can always just Ctrl+c to close out of update and try it again- prolly get stuck again. | 13:44 |
| poeticrpm | meek_geek, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line | 13:45 |
| mapps | hi all..is it possible to manually set wireless info? i did it ages ago using /etc/network/interfaces but its changed now iirc? | 13:53 |
| meek_geek | poeticrpm, if you do apt-get purge smc* ; does it ask for confirmation or not ? | 13:53 |
| meek_geek | It did not in my case | 13:53 |
| poeticrpm | mapps, what wireless info? Try right clicking on the network icon in your system tray (network manager) | 13:54 |
