sylvain_hello17:10
sylvain_I have a problem with backlight Xubuntu when I install the proprietary drivers for AMD ATI17:11
xanguasalora: uninstalling default applications might not be a good idea due to dependencies, I suggest you to run: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop , this should reinstall firefox and any other stuff you might have removed17:12
xanguajust don't use firefox and use your prefered browser17:12
sylvain_I changed the Grub unsuccessfully17:12

ARM9is there a more advanced task manager available that doesn't require gnome or kde?18:17
HedgeworkARM9: "task manager" ??18:20
* Hedgework wonders whether ARM9 means top :P18:21
ARM9super -> task manager18:21
ARM9super+r*18:21
ARM9the default thingy in xubuntu18:21
HedgeworkARM9: I have no earthly idea what that is, sorry.  I use xubuntu but I don't use xfce, so I am unfamiliar with many of the stock applications.18:21
ARM9right18:21
HedgeworkI chimed in since I avoid both gnome and kde dependent stuff and thought I might help if you described what you are looking for.18:21
ARM9I forget what all the terminal ones are called18:21
ARM9do you know ctrl+alt+del in windows?18:22
HedgeworkUmm...if it hasn't changed since I used windows in 1998 or so18:22
Picihtop is nice18:22
Hedgeworkyou might want the top command18:22
ARM9it changed in windows 8, but I'm about previous versions18:22
Hedgeworkit shows you processes that are active in order of most proc consumed18:22
ARM9yeah something like top18:22
ARM9pici htop right that's the one I was looking for18:23
brainwashARM9: try htop18:32
ARM9yup18:33
andreipathhi all19:32
Hedgeworkhi19:32
andreipathanyone has some spare time ?19:32
andreipathi got a problem with my wifi since updating to 14.0419:33
Hedgeworkandreipath: On IRC, it is considered more polite to just ask the complete question you need help with rather than asking who has time, who has used XYZ software, or who is here.19:33
andreipathand no ideea as to how to sort it out19:33
HedgeworkJust tell us what's up and we'll try to help. :)19:33
andreipathok19:33
HedgeworkOkay, well...start with defining what you mean by "a problem with my wifi"19:33
andreipathsorry.. i dont stay much on irc so i dont know the rules19:33
andreipathwell, rfkill says my wifi is disable by hardware switch19:34
HedgeworkIs it producing an error?  Is it connecting, but failing to obtain DNS server information via DHCP?  Is it making your dog sing?19:34
andreipathand i cant figure out how to enable it19:34
HedgeworkI assume you already checked the physical switch, right?19:34
andreipathit works fine in recovery mode though19:34
HedgeworkOkay, open a terminal and we'll check some things.19:35
andreipaththe physical switch does nothing19:35
andreipathok19:35
andreipathjust tell me what info you need19:35
HedgeworkPlease start by making sure the physical switch is in the 'on' position.  Then paste me the output of "ifconfig -a" -- DO NOT paste it in the channel, though, put it in a pastebin like paste.ubuntu.com and give me the link. :)19:36
andreipathok. gimme a sec19:36
Hedgeworknp19:36
HedgeworkIf I disappear suddenly, it's because the conference call I'm waiting on finally started.  Hopefully someone will pick up where we left off if that happens.19:37
andreipathhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7781684/19:38
Hedgeworkandreipath: what happens if you do "ifconfig wlan0 up" ?19:39
andreipathSIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill19:40
yoLo_what is the best movies player besides parole ?19:42
HedgeworkIs your laptop that has one of those "soft" rf-kill things?  Like a wifi on/off that you access via the Fn key?19:42
HedgeworkSometimes that will act at the BIOS level so the OS thinks it's a real hardware switch19:42
andreipathnope19:42
andreipathit has a19:42
andreipathit has an actual button for that but does nothing when pressed19:43
andreipathwifi works fine in recovery mode though19:43
andreipathyolo: try smplayer19:45
xubuntu200i cant the the wifi adaptor to turn on19:45
xubuntu200Ive gone through rfkill and there is no hard switch on the machine19:46
xubuntu200the fn +f2 doesnt turn on the wifi either19:46
andreipathanyone else ?19:51
xubuntu200still dont know how to get my wifi turned on19:53
yoLo_andreipath, is the one in ubuntu software center the latest version ?19:53
yoLo_xubuntu200, which laptop pc are you using ?19:53
andreipathno, look it up on google and dwl the latest version from the dev site19:54
andreipathit also has a pretty neat youtube browser as well19:54
Hedgeworkandreipath: Okay, so when you said that your wifi works in rescue mode, did you mean that it works when you choose a rescue mode from your grub menu, or when you boot to a livecd?19:54
xanguasmplayer for windows has a lot of crapware :/19:54
andreipathrescue mode from grub19:55
Hedgeworkhmm19:55
andreipathi know... its weird19:55
HedgeworkGive me a sec...work needs my attention...but I have a few ideas.19:55
andreipathi searched google and found lots of things19:55
andreipathbut none worked19:55
HedgeworkOkay, back for the moment.19:56
andreipathok19:57
HedgeworkSo, I don't remember how Xubuntu sets up that particular grub option, but there are a limited number of things that can be controlled from grub, so at least we've narrowed it down.  Ruling out things that would be so stupid I don't imagine Xubuntu does them, we're left with:19:57
Hedgework* that's a different kernel, and the kernel you are booting to normally has a driver or other option missing that your wifi chipset needs to be properly handled19:58
Hedgework* that boots into single user mode or some other weird runlevel, and you have a permissions issue or init issue preventing something your card needs from happening at the normal runlevel19:58
andreipaththe kernel is the same in recovery19:58
Hedgework* that uses kernel options that are not run normally19:59
andreipathand i have reinstalled the drivers19:59
andreipathi have a atheros chipset19:59
Hedgework* the recovery boot is skipping starting some service that normally is started and which interferes with wifi operation19:59
andreipathand it uses the broadcom drivers20:00
Hedgework* systemd is the devil and you need to sacrifice several goats before dancing naked around the computer with a high priestess of some sort.20:00
* Hedgework clears her throat20:00
HedgeworkSorry, not much of a systemd fan...sometimes it shows. :P20:00
andreipathdid the naked dance twice so far.. and used my wife as the priestess20:00
andreipath:P20:00
Hedgeworkandreipath: it only works if she's cute and at least slightly evil ;)20:01
andreipathshe has both20:01
HedgeworkOh, good, then that should help. :D20:01
andreipathbeen on the box tring to fix it for 4 hours so far20:02
Hedgework:(20:02
HedgeworkThat sucks.20:02
andreipathand she said she will throw it out the window in a bit20:02
HedgeworkNOOOO you can always re-install.  Never trash the hardware.  re-installs are free :P20:02
andreipaththats what i said as well :D20:03
andreipathbut i cant belive i cant find a solution without a reinstall20:03
andreipathit took lots of time to tweak and make run as it does20:03
HedgeworkUnderstood.20:09
HedgeworkCan you check dmesg for anything useful?  WHat about other logs?  Anything possibly relevant?20:09
andreipath[ 4831.638037] UDP: bad checksum. From 23.11.125.17:4282 to 86.122.35.92:53 ulen 5320:10
