[01:22] hi, how can i install xubuntu on a tablet? [01:22] i have a working live usb already [01:22] but i can't get pass unetbootin options === n1c0 is now known as Guest61468 === Guest61468 is now known as n1ck0 [01:43] good evening [01:43] anyone awake? [01:46] no, we're dead [01:48] No I'm not, 88BPM right now! ;) [01:52] can someone say why is compositing on xfce not working anymore, i once upgraded packages, and it didn't boot, i upgraded again but no compositing :( [01:52] boot to gui* [07:33] Hi, how do I partition automaticly with kickstart so /boot is on the first partition and the rest is LVM? [07:35] !crosspost | krejsi [07:35] krejsi: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [07:36] sorry [08:32] hi [08:33] why is xlockmore not in the latest release? how do I lock screen if I'm not running lightdm (which has a locker command)? [08:33] * svetlana also asked in #ubuntu, but got no reply [08:35] does ctrl+alt+l work? [08:37] svetlana: lightdm is default as well, the assumption is if you can change your login manager, you can change the lock tool as well... [08:37] garandil, no. [08:37] Unit193, I'm trying to find a working lock tool. [08:37] xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver, etc? [08:39] Unit193, xscreensaver+xdm? if I switch user and then try to switch back, then I'll have to enter password twice (in xdm and in xscreensaver) so I don't consider that a "working" combination [08:52] svetlana: i prefer lightdm and xscreensaver and completely uninstall light-locker [08:53] Indeed, as do I. [09:03] I think such solution involves entering password twice like mentioned in my last line but I'm not sure [09:04] svetlana: with lightdm and xscreensaver, you only have to enter your password once [09:04] when switching back and forth? only once? [09:12] an unrelated question... how do I find what proprietary drivers I'm using? [09:17] software & updates, additional drivers tab would work [09:19] I don't have menu. how do I launch the software and updates from terminal please? :-) [09:19] or rather I have menu but it doesn't contain this thing [09:21] let me look [09:21] not necessarily to launch it but to obtain the details I'm after hehe [09:23] update-manager only thing i can find [09:23] launcher [09:23] software-properties-gtk [09:24] ok [09:39] is there an emulator or something that lets me run a "windows" desktop? [09:39] wilsonjl3 virtualbox [09:39] VirtualBox [09:40] thank you :D [09:40] virtualbox FTW [09:40] aha hey dave [09:40] hey wilsonjl3 how's ya? [09:41] pretty good, still trying to make netflix work, followed like 4 different tutorials and none of them work [09:41] i did get it working here, hmm let me think [09:41] hoping virtualbox might [09:42] give me a sec [09:43] yeah no problem [09:43] iirc, we got compholio ppa working [09:44] iirc? [09:44] oh [09:44] yes we did [09:44] If I Recall Correctly ;P [09:45] :P thought so [09:45] we got a compholio, got pipelight, enables silverlight [09:45] should i try switching it to silverlight 5.0 instead of 5.1? [09:45] did we install netflix-desktop? [09:46] uh no? [09:46] ok do, sudo apt-get install wine-compholio [09:47] pipelight + netflix-desktop should work [09:47] ok [09:47] done that [09:47] thanks garandil getting there :) [09:47] at least it works flawless on my workstation [09:47] :) [09:48] ObrienDave, oh, sorry.. didnt mean to shoot in [09:48] garandil, not a problem, always better to have good help :) [09:49] then, sudo apt-get install pipelight [09:49] already have pipelight [09:49] i know we did this, but just to be sure [09:49] and its enabled and silverlight 5.1 is enabled [09:49] ok [09:49] ok good [09:50] ok done [09:50] now, sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop [09:50] ok [09:50] it should take a few minutes [09:51] uh...its done... [09:51] i had it installed before. maybe thats why? [09:51] ok, look in multimedia folder for netflix [09:51] ok, look in multimedia menu for netflix [09:52] ok im gonna try a movie? [09:52] did it say "already have latest version"? [09:52] are you logged in? [09:52] when i installed it? [09:52] yes i am [09:53] cool, sure, see if it works [09:53] nope [09:53] *makes popcorn* ;P [09:53] says to install silverlight plugin [09:53] what happens? [09:53] ok, sec [09:54] did you enable the silverlight plugin with pipelight? [09:54] yes [09:55] i found my commands in history, let's try some [09:55] ok [09:55] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable [09:56] k done [09:56] sudo apt-get update [09:57] done :) [09:58] sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi [09:59] that should take a while [09:59] "e: Unable to locate package multi" [10:00] copy and paste the command please [10:00] you forgot the - [10:00] aha yep [10:01] and done. already had it installed [10:01] it says 3 not upgraded [10:01] makes all the difference in the world ;P [10:01] would that be the problem? [10:01] yup [10:01] how do i fix that? [10:01] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:02] lol 112 kb [10:02] it matters [10:02] yeah [10:03] it says unknown media type in a couple things, does that matter? [10:03] done? [10:03] yep [10:03] nope [10:03] ok :) [10:04] now, sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop [10:04] just to be sure [10:04] if it's not working now.. then it's time to remove and purge and try again [10:04] agreed [10:04] says its latest bersion [10:05] ok, give it a go [10:05] nope, didnt work [10:05] grrrrr [10:05] how do i remove and purge it? [10:05] i agree& [10:05] ^* [10:05] sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop [10:06] I'd also kick out pipelight [10:06] sudo apt-get purge pipelight-multi [10:06] sudo apt-get purge netflix-desktop [10:06] oops lol [10:07] aha ok i did both of those [10:07] then sudo apt-get autoremove [10:07] To clean out unused packages [10:07] sudo apt-get purge wine-compholio [10:07] then autoremove [10:08] ok done all that [10:08] then read http://itsfoss.com/netflix-ubuntu-1404-desktop-app/ [10:08] aha ok [10:08] courtesy of garandil [10:08] ;) [10:09] haha thanks [10:09] that's what we both followed [10:09] i'll be here for a few more hours. 5 min break [10:11] ok, i gotta go to work in 50 mins anyways [10:12] hehe [10:12] I rolled out of bed and found myself at work :P [10:13] aha what do you do?

IKEA Storage [10:15] AHAHAHAHA [10:15] He was asked what a "Fabric" was and started to touch his shirt... [10:15] omg [10:15] too many ikea paint fumes [10:16] Or didnt read more than the first line of the ad :P [10:17] suffice it to say... he did not get hired [10:17] wait. do i need to be in USA to watch using this? [10:17] i wouldn't know what a storage fabric is either [10:17] wilsonjl3, hmmm, could be, not sure [10:17] cuz im canadian [10:17] wilsonjl3, if you are in a country that have Netflix there is no need to be in the US [10:17] eh :P [10:17] ok then im good [10:19] arrrggggg [10:20] i followed it exactly, even copied and pasted stuff and it isnt working [10:21] http://itsfoss.com/easiest-watch-netflix-hulu-usa/ [10:22] can you pastebin your stdout ? [10:22] stdout? [10:22] And, I use unotelly.com to get US Netflix [10:22] wilsonjl3, what you see in your terminal while installing and stuff [10:24] http://pastebin.com/NAFU9ihy [10:25] did you do the pipelight plugin enable? [10:25] thats for netflix-desktop btw [10:25] that looks right iirc [10:25] yes i did [10:26] hmm... strange, strange indeed [10:26] thinking its the DNS server setting [10:27] did you get any "wine" update windows? [10:27] ill paste in the whole thing i just did since removing and purging [10:27] please do [10:27] did you do wine-compholio again? [10:28] no. it didnt say too, but i think wine stuff was installed [10:29] http://pastebin.com/63TFncZ3 [10:29] sudo apt-get install wine-compholio [10:31] ok did it [10:31] sudo apt-get install --install-recomends pipelight-multi this is not right [10:31] thats what the pipelight website said to do... [10:32] sudo apt-get install pipelight-multi [10:32] ok [10:32] done [10:32] you got a few 404's there but I dont think they are of any concequence [10:33] :/ [10:34] ill br right back guys, gotta get dressed and ready for work [10:34] naw, have nothing to do with this install, conky ppa [10:34] k [10:34] conky? [10:34] oh yeah [10:36] if i use virtual bbox could i watch it there? [10:36] maybe yes, maybe no [10:36] Should be able to, but not great performance [10:37] mmkay [10:37] ill try it [10:38] Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windws 8(netflix maybe). [10:38] AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS). (VERR_SVM_DISABLED). [10:39] you need to enable virt in your BIOS [10:39] how do i install gcider? not seeing it in repos or ppas [10:39] how do i do that? [10:39] wilsonjl3, it's a BIOS setting [10:39] ohhhh [10:39] ok [10:40] lol i gotta go though, sorry guys, work, forgot time and gonna be late :P [10:40] k, l8r [10:41] well, garandil, I appreciate your help [10:42] ObrienDave, no worries :) I didnt join this channel to be an ass [10:43] nope, and you weren't one either :) [10:44] it's always better to have help. i would hate to bork someone's system by giving them the wrong advice [10:44] yeah, and that can happen [10:44] I tend to stay away from grub and kernel stuff [10:45] oh, i know, been there. me too. if i know, i help. if i don't i stay out of it [10:46] it can get very messy [10:46] And if you do not have access to the system it makes it harder [10:47] infinitely [10:48] or have them imgbin BUNCHES of screen shots LOL [10:48] I usually ask for logs ;) [10:48] yup [10:49] But then again, I used to do Unix/Linux support in the enterprise world [10:49] ObrienDave, if you dont mind me asking, where are you from? [10:49] Oregon, USA [10:49] you? [10:50] Norway, but location is now Ireland [10:50] And what are you doing awake at this hour? [10:50] I work weekend night shift. i'll be going to bed in 3 hours or so [10:51] ah, then it makes sense :) [10:51] this is my "stay awake" night [10:52] aha :) [10:52] I'm almost half way into my workday [10:53] work at home? [10:53] yeah [10:54] I got a rather sweet deal === Ad1 is now known as mnijTicktack [10:54] not bad then [10:54] I even get to travel for work [10:54] i need a job like that ;P [10:54] Nov/Dec last year I spent 5 weeks in Minnesota === mnijTicktack is now known as Ad1 [10:54] brrrr [10:55] I'm from Norway.. I'm used to the cold [10:56] i'm from L.A. not used to THAT kind of cold === Ad1 is now known as nie_wkurwiaj_mni === nie_wkurwiaj_mni is now known as Ad1 [10:56] ObrienDave, garandil: general chatter at #xubuntu-offtopic. thanks! [10:57] ok, sorry [11:49] hi [11:50] hello [11:50] greetings [11:50] I have a few questions related to some bugs I may have found in Xubuntu lately, anyone available to discuss? [11:50] hi ObrienDave ! [11:50] hi garandil [11:50] fire away [11:50] I seek for people using Evolution, and also Synaptic [11:50] just ask [11:52] I have installed Xubuntu Trusty for someone and his ISP sends the phone messages by mail as wav files. Same for me in Archlinux with mine who sends mp3 : neither in one nor in the other can we have the files played with the image that appears in Evolution (our mime-types are correct). I went to #evolution chan and the dev after tests concludes that the issue would come from webkitgtk. Could you tell me if you can play sound files in Evolution dire [11:52] ctly with the image with the |> ? [11:53] for the other matters as well as for this one, I have written a post in Linuxvillage forum, I'll give you the link: [11:54] [Parole] Xubuntu 14.04 does not play wma - http://forum.linuxvillage.org/index.php/topic,666.msg3881.html#msg3881 [11:55] melodie, you should be able to play both of those formats using any number of programs. VLC being about the most popular [11:57] ObrienDave this is not the point : when clicking on the arrow above, we can choose any of the sound readers installed. The point is about the image under the attachments. It used to work but since the latest Evolution it doesn't anymore. I have never noticed until the friend who I installed to tells me he used to click directly on it. (it saves him some time because he gets many for his job) [11:57] melodie, the issue is clearly in evolution, and if the developers say it's about webkitgtk, then you probably have to wait until the evolution or webkit developers fix the issue [11:57] so my question is not how to get the message, but does it work for you if you click on the image? [11:58] knome hi, this is not the method I want to use, I want to investigate and do a good bug report to them [11:58] melodie, the evolution developer gave you some information on that, so you should continue looking there [11:58] so I would like to know if the Xubuntu people among the ones who use Evolution can also test this and give feedback? [11:59] knome please... [11:59] melodie, what you are looking for is called lab testing [11:59] have you filed a bug people can confirm? [11:59] knome not yet [11:59] and you can do it with multiple notebook, or with virtual machines [11:59] melodie, then please do so first... others that have the same issue can then confirm and comment on the bug [12:00] knome I'd like to ask on several buntu chans first so I can have a clear idea about who/which desktops might be affected. I have an answer on the webkitgtk chan... I'll be back [12:01] melodie, if it's a bug in evolution/webkit, it'll affect all desktops. [12:02] melodie, seriously, the best way to make any progress on this is file a bug and not "investigate" around asking if people can test something for you [12:03] knome I'll take your advice later, after I will have investigated a bit more. :) [12:03] please, see the rest of my post, there are several bugs met on the way [12:04] melodie, take it now, or in other words: please do not ask in this channel until you have filed a bug [12:04] melodie, then file multiple bug reports [12:06] fun! [12:06] I am not even a Xubuntu user :) [15:06] Is there a way I can install the Gnome Disk Usage analyzer on Xubuntu? [15:08] it's called baobab - it's in the repos - just install it [15:09] okay thank you [15:41] I have a question if someone could help [15:46] !ask | deaf [15:46] deaf: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:05] boop [16:29] knome here is the bug report finally https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135292 [16:29] bugs.webkit.org bug 135292 in WebKit Gtk "Evolution [GTK] Mail 3.10.4 and 3.12.4 can't read audio attachments from the integrated reader inline" [Normal,New] [16:36] heya. looks like in xubuntu 14.04, thunar shortcut pane doesn't use ~/.gtk_shortcuts like it used to. where does it store the list of shortcuts now, anyone know? [16:44] nanotube: .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks that one? [16:46] Unit193: aha yes so it appears to be. :P [16:46] wonder why they stopped looking in ~/.gtk_shortcuts .... [16:46] thanks :) [16:51] nanotube all programs tend to have their configuration files gathered under .config in order to less clutter the home user [16:51] well the user config files of course [17:01] good evening [17:01] hmm ic, guess that's sensible, melodie :) [17:01] hi, if anyone can help me, I'm having a lag problem on my Ubuntu 14.04 that seems a lot like the problem described here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1439861 I'm the author of the second post.. [17:02] brasileiro I am looking [17:03] brasileiro have you tried using cpufreq governors? [17:03] nanotube: GTK moved it, they tend to move things. IIRC, it was moved mid cycle during Saucy. [17:03] Backported to GTK2. [17:03] Unit193 how backported? [17:04] what about the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file? [17:04] evening greetings Unit193 :) [17:05] brasileiro you might want to answer back soon enough? :) [17:05] Howdy. [17:05] Unit193 :) [17:06] melodie, heheh sorry, was looking about it... sudo lsmod | grep cpufreq returns nothing [17:06] this is not a driver [17:06] and you don't "sudo lsmod" not needed in any case [17:06] melodie, sorry, was following this http://go2linux.garron.me/how-to-configure-cpufreqd [17:06] brasileiro if you cpu supports it, you will see it as this: [17:06] don't [17:07] this is ... bs [17:07] :-( [17:07] sudo apt-get install cpufreq cpufreqd [17:07] then as simple user: [17:07] first you type in "cpufreq-info" [17:07] and you look at what the output says [17:07] E: Unable to locate package cpufreq [17:07] then you tell us, then I tell you what you can try next [17:07] which version, trusty? [17:08] melodie, yes [17:08] try "apt-cache search cpufreq" it should return a list of packages containing the name [17:08] without the quotes and as simple user [17:09] melodie, maybe cpufrequtils [17:09] ? [17:09] brasileiro and if you want to follow tutorials look at Ubuntu places (for Ubuntu) or Archlinux places and so on [17:09] yes [17:09] install this one [17:09] Smells like it lags when it's swapping between GPU's? [17:09] brasileiro and also cpufreqd if it is in the list [17:10] melodie, it is.. already installed it.. [17:10] brasileiro then cpufreq-info as simple user [17:10] melodie, ok.. lots of outputs from the 8 CPUs [17:11] melodie, what is relevant? [17:11] haha 8 cpus! give me two! XD [17:11] paste it to pastebin.com or so [17:12] 8 CPU's means 4 cores + HT [17:12] garandil thanks, you are very keen aren't you? [17:12] ::) [17:12] * melodie will hand a special application to garandil [17:12] Right... [17:13] So you went to the obnoxious place [17:13] melodie, http://pastebin.com/rwWfc526 [17:13] garandil I like joking a bit... here is for you http://www.bernardbelanger.com/computing/NaDa/index.php ;) [17:13] (sorry for the waiting... it keeps laggins as we speak..) [17:13] lagging* [17:14] brasileiro, perhaps try another Nvidia driver? [17:14] garandil, already tried with 304 and bumblebee, 331 and bumblebee and now 331 and prime [17:15] brasileiro I may have an idea, wait a sec, let me think [17:16] melodie, ok, no rush =) [17:17] this is something which I met with some years ago with a specific CPU and a nvidia GPU (not so powerful) and at the archlinux fr forum I had been advised to turn apic an lapic off, with the "noapic nolapic" options on the kernel command line. You could try that [17:18] the output you provided from your console says you have many steps in the cpus of your machine and of course you can configure which governor you want, but the lag might be a matter of deactivating these kernel options [17:19] See this page, they also suggest "acpi=off" as a possible option ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/256.44/README/commonproblems.html [17:19] brasileiro and also have you considered trying nouveau ? It has improved a lot these last years [17:21] melodie, so you think it may be better to try the nouveau before the apic and lapic thing? [17:22] brasileiro try one, then try the other? [17:22] choose which one seems the easiest for you [17:22] also you should have a look at the log files in /var/log [17:23] Unit193 which system file would be the best to look in /var/log ? Perhaps Xorg.0.log? any one else? [17:32] melodie, now it started to double some keys I preess.. [17:34] so what solution did you choose? [17:34] melodie, gonna try the noapic nolapic thing first... be right backk... [17:43] melodie, sorry... I need to go away for about 30 min and cannot do the test right now... I'll make as soon as I return... thank you very much for your help!! we'll keep you informed of the results =) [17:44] brasileiro ok, find me at #phillw or at #linuxvillage if I'm not here [17:44] melodie, will do =) [17:44] :) [18:17] heya [18:18] you here, Obriendave? [18:20] I'm running xubuntu from december 2013, and my wifi keeps disconnecting for some reason. Can anyone advise me on how to correct this. If it's not obvious, I'm a noob. [18:25] xubuntu029: Hopefully you updated meanwhile? :) [18:26] bekks, no I can't keep my wifi connected long enough to update. [18:34] how do i enable BIOs settings for virtualbox? [18:34] you don't, you control the virtual machine settings from the virtualbox settings interface [18:35] oh [18:35] how do i do it? :3 im new to this program [18:37] wilsonjl3, see https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads#manual for the virtualbox user manual [18:37] ok thank you :) [18:41] hardware virtualization support can be controlled via bios depending on hardware, so not entirely true [18:43] kRush, we are not here to be right, we are here to help users. [18:44] knome: That should be the channel topic [18:44] how is telling wrong stuff to users ever helpful? [18:45] i still cant start my virtual machine thing, it says AMD-v is disabled [18:45]
