| ObrienDave | abanabee7, how can we help? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, open a terminal please | 00:00 |
| wilsonjl3 | got one open already ;) | 00:00 |
| ObrienDave | cool | 00:00 |
| abanabee7 | Well, as I run Xubuntu the desktop starts messing up, like I start seeing graphics from before, like I was in a video chat at 11pm, and at 10 AM the next day i see those graphics pop up | 00:00 |
| ObrienDave | abanabee7, do you turn your computer off between times? | 00:01 |
| abanabee7 | and when I switch the workspace, they go away, only to come back. And if I mouse over them they return to the current stuff. No, this is all in one session | 00:01 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, copy and paste the following line into the terminal | 00:02 |
| ObrienDave | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio | 00:03 |
| ObrienDave | abanabee7, sounds like a graphics card driver issue. are you current on the driver? | 00:04 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, what that does is add the address to you sources list and import the security key to your system | 00:04 |
| wilsonjl3 | so i update now? | 00:05 |
| abanabee7 | ObrienDave, I don't really use the graphics drivers, I mean I use the opensource ones as that allows the system to be able to boot into other computers, which I often do. | 00:05 |
| abanabee7 | also, this is like a random thing, it will go like a month without doing anything bad, then go thro cycles of it doing this. | 00:05 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, now the ALWAYS important sudo apt-get update | 00:05 |
| wilsonjl3 | thought so :) so i did it | 00:06 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, ok, look on that page for the package name... | 00:06 |
| wilsonjl3 | ObrienDave help abanabee7 first :) i can wait and it'd probably be easier | 00:07 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop | 00:07 |
| abanabee7 | wilsonjl3, Thank you, i don't mind waiting either, as this is a recurring thing, and it is annoying, but not something that is a desperate thing | 00:08 |
| ObrienDave | abanabee7, sorry, i am not sure how to help you other than recommend the drivers for your card. someone here can be of better assistance than i can :) | 00:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha im just trying to figure out how to use netflix on here :P no big deal | 00:08 |
| wilsonjl3 | (its installed, ObrienDave) | 00:08 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, ok, what we installed is a custom WINE and the netflix viewer. it works pretty good | 00:09 |
| wilsonjl3 | we only installed netflix-desktop and put in new repos? | 00:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | didnt we? | 00:10 |
| ObrienDave | yes, but part of the dependencies for this version of netflix is the custom WINE environment ;P | 00:10 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :3 | 00:11 |
| ObrienDave | dependencies are almost always automatically installed | 00:11 |
| wilsonjl3 | so i was just supposed to put that into the terminal, right? not click anything on this page? | 00:12 |
| ObrienDave | abanabee7, you could also ask in #ubuntu about your graphics issue. be sure to mention you're using Xubuntu | 00:12 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, yes, we did everything from the terminal | 00:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 00:12 |
| wilsonjl3 | so it should work now? | 00:13 |
| ObrienDave | you should see a netflix icon under multimedia or graphics menu. i don't remember which | 00:13 |
| abanabee7 | ObrienDave, true, I could go there. Tho i figured since it was Xubuntu that it was something about how XFCE is running | 00:13 |
| ObrienDave | ask Unit193, they are our resident XFCE expert :_ | 00:14 |
| Fall | whisker menu fixed for 12.04 yet? | 00:14 |
| wilsonjl3 | not working, its telling me to install, wich im guessing wont run on xubuntu :/ | 00:14 |
| ObrienDave | Fall, not sure | 00:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | install silverlight* | 00:15 |
| Fall | ObrienDave: it's slightly annoying :( | 00:15 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, ok, hang on | 00:15 |
| wilsonjl3 | okay :) | 00:15 |
| abanabee7 | ObrienDave, would this show up in the logs in some way? I mean I wouldn't know exactly what to look for in the logs. Where can I go to talk to Unit193? | 00:16 |
| wilsonjl3 | abanabee7, Unit193 is in this room but i think he's away right now :/ | 00:16 |
| abanabee7 | Wilsonjl3, ahhhh, I can wait, I don't mind much. Do you know when he will be back? I don't want to miss him | 00:17 |
| ObrienDave | wilsonjl3, in terminal... | 00:17 |
| ObrienDave | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable | 00:17 |
| wilsonjl3 | abanabee7, no idea sorry :( | 00:18 |
| ObrienDave | sudo apt-get update | 00:18 |
| abanabee7 | wilsonjl3, that's ok, time is not an issue, i stay up pretty late anyway lol | 00:18 |
| wilsonjl3 | abanabee aha well thats good atleast | 00:19 |
| wilsonjl3 | ObrienDave, its updating now | 00:19 |
| ObrienDave | k, sec | 00:20 |

| ObrienDave | wait a sec | 00:47 |
| wilsonjl3 | waiting :) | 00:48 |
| ObrienDave | https://launchpad.net/~pipelight/+archive/ubuntu/stable/+files/wine-compholio-amd64_1.7.22~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb | 00:48 |
| ObrienDave | i forgot you have a 64bit system | 00:48 |
| wilsonjl3 | aha no problem | 00:48 |
| ObrienDave | and this file... | 00:49 |
| ObrienDave | https://launchpad.net/~pipelight/+archive/ubuntu/stable/+files/pipelight-multi_0.2.7.1~ubuntu14.04.1_amd64.deb | 00:49 |
| ObrienDave | install the pipelight first | 00:49 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok, paused the other one | 00:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | oh install | 00:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | not download | 00:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | :3 | 00:50 |
| ObrienDave | you can d/l both | 00:50 |
| wilsonjl3 | wine-silverlight is downloading, pipelight is crashing the software centre :P | 00:52 |
| ObrienDave | dang | 00:54 |
| wilsonjl3 | keeps going unresponsive | 00:54 |
| ObrienDave | let me try to install it here. | 00:56 |
| wilsonjl3 | ok | 00:56 |
| wilsonjl3 | ObrienDave, i gotta go to sleep, im about to pass out on my comp. im sorry | 00:59 |
| wilsonjl3 | abanabee7, good luck fixing the graphics glitches, have a good night both of you :) | 01:00 |
| abanabee7 | awww, he quit before I could say goodnight to him | 01:00 |
| xuboo | :/ | 01:01 |
| ObrienDave | k, dang i hate leaving something unresolved | 01:01 |
| xuboo | same here :) | 01:01 |
| xuboo | seems I have alsa-utils installed, and alsamixer, but i get no such file or directory | 01:04 |
| ObrienDave | xuboo, not sure why alsamixer wont run | 01:05 |
| xuboo | its odd, lspci -k says I have an audio device | 01:07 |
| xuboo | but aplay -l or -L says no sound card | 01:07 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, beyond my knowledge of alsa | 01:07 |

| six86 | Hello. What is the proper way to change xfce settings in the terminal? I want to change the number of virtual desktops for example and remove the "dock". | 14:11 |
| six86 | Is the proper way to edit xfwm4.xml? | 14:12 |
| abanabee7 | six86, I doubt the proper way would be to edit that xfwm4.xml, i looked @ mine, and its got all empty settings in it, & i have a pretty customized desktop from default, but i culd b wrong | 14:23 |
| six86 | abanabee7: I just found xfconf-query | 14:27 |
| six86 | seems to be the way to go | 14:27 |
| abanabee7 | six86, ahhh, thats cool. Thanks. when u asked i was like, ooo, i wonder that too, thanks for a tiny new thing :) | 14:28 |
| six86 | abanabee7: Now i just have to find out how to delete items | 14:29 |
| six86 | I have it | 14:31 |
| abanabee7 | six86, i would imagine you change the value from true to false, or from 1 to 0, or something that would tell it that you don't want that value | 14:31 |
| six86 | -rR recursively resets values | 14:32 |
| six86 | abanabee7: It was about removing a panel. | 14:32 |
| abanabee7 | six86, thats cool, i love how things like that can be, a simple command can change your system. Thanks for the new info | 14:34 |
| six86 | abanabee7: Yeah but my panel was not fully removed by this its stuck in the bottom now | 14:34 |
| six86 | abanabee7: "xfce4-panel -r" and after that the panel is gone | 14:35 |
| abanabee7 | six86, wouldn't that mean the panel is returned to the top? cause you reset the value, then restarted it so that the changes show | 14:41 |
| six86 | there is nothing stated about panel-1 in xfconf anymore | 14:41 |
| six86 | but something is stillt here because tha GUI shows 2 panels... | 14:42 |

| Mountain_R | Hi guys I have a problem with the screensaver, previously there were installed the default screensaver but I was unable to stop it to switch off the monitor after few minutes, a user help me to unistall it and install xscreensaver 5.15. It seems that the problem was fixed but now I have again the same problem, after only some minute The screen goes off. The strage thing is that xscreensaver is set to DOESN'T switch off and blank the scr | 18:15 |
| Mountain_R | een after 6 minutes. Please give me some advice guys... | 18:15 |
| MavKen | Mountain_R, sorry, any updates since it last worked? | 18:24 |
| MavKen | overkill... but run sudo apt-get clean -y && apt-get update -y && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y && apt-get autoremove -y | 18:25 |
| Mountain_R | Yes I have often done updates | 18:28 |
| Mountain_R | MavKen, do I have to run that command as one only command? | 18:29 |
| MavKen | yes | 18:29 |
| MavKen | that is my goto command if something is out of whack (lazy man approach) | 18:30 |
| MavKen | its a series of commands but one string so you dont have to enter separately | 18:31 |
| Mountain_R | MavKen, I do it now, can u tell me how to copy from Xchat if you know it? | 18:31 |
| Mountain_R | seems impossible on xchat, don't know why | 18:31 |
| MavKen | highlight, control + c | 18:37 |
| MavKen | I hate how chat doesnt have copy in rt click menu | 18:37 |
| bazhang | shift control c of highlighted | 18:38 |
| Mountain_R | ctrl+c worked thanks | 18:39 |
| bazhang | the right click menu *does * have it, under window | 18:39 |
| Mountain_R | xchat doesn't have it | 18:39 |
| bazhang | #xchat will confirm | 18:41 |
| MavKen | no, not under window | 18:49 |
| MavKen | ctrl + c always works... just wondered why not included in rt click menu | 18:49 |
| MavKen | copy/paste are in rt click window when in text entry field. just not on actual chat contents | 18:50 |
| bazhang | highlighted--->shift control c works perfectly there | 18:51 |
| MavKen | hahahaha.... when you highlight, it automatically copies | 18:51 |
| MavKen | no need to cntrl c | 18:52 |
| MavKen | try it | 18:52 |
| bazhang | I have | 18:52 |
| MavKen | just asked on #xchat | 18:52 |
| Mountain_R | MavKen, I gave that command I will wait to check if worked, thanks. Can you please tell me what -y means? | 18:52 |
| Mountain_R | so I learn | 18:52 |
| MavKen | just means to answer yes | 18:52 |
| MavKen | instead of each prompt asking y or n | 18:53 |
| Mountain_R | ok got it | 18:53 |
| Mountain_R | MavKen, it doesn't work it switch off again the monitor | 19:00 |
| MavKen | uninstall then run sudo apt-get autoremove | 19:00 |
| MavKen | reboot | 19:00 |
| Mountain_R | from the ubuntu software centre is ok? | 19:02 |
| Mountain_R | MavKen, i don't find any screensaver in the Ubuntu software center | 19:04 |
| MavKen | I dont use a screensaver...so not sure where to go from there | 19:04 |
| Mountain_R | i could try with: sudo apt-get remove screensaver | 19:05 |
| Mountain_R | ? | 19:05 |
| === Barnabas_ is now known as BarnabasDK | ||
| Mountain_R | i found it it was simply xsceensaver | 19:09 |
| Mountain_R | to get the superuser I use: sudo su | 19:10 |
| Mountain_R | it is ok or not? | 19:10 |
| bazhang | no | 19:10 |
| bazhang | just sudo | 19:10 |
| Mountain_R | just sudo don't gives me the superuser | 19:11 |
| bazhang | yes it does | 19:12 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get remove packagename | 19:12 |
| Mountain_R | but if i do sudo su it ask me 1 time the password forever | 19:13 |
| Mountain_R | for all the terminal session | 19:14 |
| bazhang | thats not correct | 19:14 |
| bazhang | there is no root enabled | 19:14 |
| bazhang | use sudo -i for a root shell, if you must | 19:14 |
| Mountain_R | ok | 19:16 |
| Mountain_R | thanks | 19:17 |

| wilsonjl3_ | hey guys, anyone know why it keeps telling me to install silverlight when i wanna watch netflix even though i have pipelight and silverlight 5.1 enabled? | 19:27 |
| BarnabasDK | sudo -i /usr/bash | 19:28 |
| BarnabasDK | ? | 19:28 |
| BarnabasDK | seems a bit harsh .. | 19:28 |
| BarnabasDK | /usr/bin/bash | 19:28 |
| BarnabasDK | or did I misunderstand? | 19:28 |
| wilsonjl3_ | is that for me? | 19:29 |
| BarnabasDK | more bazhang | 19:29 |
| wilsonjl3_ | ah | 19:29 |
| bazhang | !netflix | 19:29 |
| ubottu | If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 19:29 |
| BarnabasDK | sudo su - will actually run the login shell scripts as well afaik | 19:29 |
| BarnabasDK | and use the default (for root) shell | 19:30 |
| bazhang | there's no root enabled | 19:30 |
| BarnabasDK | so you cannot sudo to root? | 19:30 |
| BarnabasDK | sudo -u root | 19:30 |
| Mountain_R | I have uninstalled xscreensaver and the monitor still switch off.. how come? | 19:30 |
| bazhang | what are you trying to accomplish | 19:30 |
| BarnabasDK | well nothing I just saw you arguing against sudo su - (for root) which I think is the nice way to get root in a system | 19:31 |
| bazhang | ubuntu uses sudo alone | 19:32 |
| Mountain_R | the difference between sudo -i and sudo su is that you get these 2 results: root@mypc:/home/mypc# and root@mypc:~# | 19:39 |
| Mountain_R | inverted results, sorry | 19:39 |
| Mountain_R | I dunno the difference between the two | 19:40 |
| Mountain_R | but both works good as root | 19:41 |
| === ponbiki is now known as Guest31840 | ||
| BarnabasDK | Mountain_R, one will run the login scripts (su method) the other will not | 19:50 |
| Mountain_R | BarnabasDK, what's the difference | 19:52 |
| BarnabasDK | Mountain_R, normally when you log in a set of scripts are executed. the global ones, then .profile and perhaps .bashrc | 19:56 |
| BarnabasDK | su does that , sudo does not | 19:56 |
| BarnabasDK | afaik | 19:56 |
