[01:09] <xubuntu543> Ok
[01:49] <brasileiro> hi everyone... anyone would happen to know the cause of this error? (firefox:6403): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_structure_new_empty: assertion 'gst_structure_validate_name (name)' failed
[01:56] <svetlana> when do you get it?
[02:04] <brasileiro> svetlana, watching an youtube video..
[02:04] <svetlana> does the video play properly?
[02:04] <brasileiro> svetlana, nop... it lags from time to time
[02:05] <brasileiro> svetlana, making peaks of CPU usage and the fan to accelerate and then stop in waves
[02:17] <svetlana> ok
[02:20] <brasileiro> svetlana, I get this after running gdb on it: http://pastebin.com/erszf0kE
[02:43] <uniqdom> hi
[02:44] <uniqdom> i'm trying to install xubuntu in a preinstalled win8 laptop
[02:44] <uniqdom> i'm in the partition step in the installation
[02:45] <uniqdom> it says that it can't find an operative system... but i still can see windows partitions there
[02:45] <uniqdom> may i continue?
[02:48] <uniqdom> also, should i select /dev/sda to installa the bootloader?  i can see /dev/sda2 as efi... i have read somewhere that i need to mount that partition as /boot/efi... is that correct?
[02:50] <uniqdom> i can't ese a option to the that last thing
[02:50] <uniqdom> see*
[10:56] <wilsonjl3> heya, i dunno if this is the right place to ask but is there a way to set what gets top bandwith priority?
[10:56] <wilsonjl3> bandwidth*
[11:09] <svetlana> set a bandwidth usage limit on the other apps using whatever means they provide?
[11:11] <wilsonjl3> ah no, i mean so my xbox dosnt lag when people decide to steal my wifi
[11:11] <svetlana> set a bw limit on the people stealing your wifi? you might have to do that in the router
[11:12] <wilsonjl3> okay, ill try
[12:35] <ChaseTrains> Hi. I just want to know how I can troubleshoot the following issue: when xfce4 just has started and I use any of the keyboard shortcuts, nothing happens until about 30 seconds later (where all the pressed shortcuts are executed all at once). After that, for the rest of the session, shortcuts are executed immediately. It's not HDD/hardware-Busy/CPU-lag. If I start i.e. the webbrowser from the app-menu, it starts
[12:35] <ChaseTrains> immediately.
[12:43] <ChaseTrains> How do I find out what application it is that's executing in xfce4 (or any other desktop environment)? Google? If already know the answer, great :D. But I'm mainly asking for the method here.
[12:49] <brainwash> ChaseTrains: most likely it's bug 1239014
[12:50] <brainwash> "This results in a delayed execution of keyboard shortcuts pressed by the user within the first ~10 seconds after session login."
[12:51] <ChaseTrains> dude, thanks!
[12:51] <ChaseTrains> I hate that overlay scrollbars anyway.. I thought I had purged it.
[12:52] <brainwash> you can disable them for the xubuntu session
[12:52] <brainwash> see bug 1239018
[12:53] <brainwash> but removing them completely is also a valid option :)
[12:55] <ChaseTrains> session saving... it doesn't save the application states, right? But merely starting the software next bootup?
[12:58] <brainwash> yes
[12:59] <brainwash> and it tries to launch them in the previous workspace if possible and supported
[13:07] <ChaseTrains> seems like the bug you pointed at is due to some problem with dbus https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-volumed/+bug/1314782
[13:21] <ChaseTrains> I want to run xfsettingsd as a non-daemon (because of a bug) instead as a daemon (you give it parameters --no-daemon). Can that be done (since only daemon can run in the background)?
[13:46] <ChaseTrains> hi. How do I edit the parameters for xfsettingsd? I've tried to edit /etc/xdg[or something]/autostart/xfsettingsd.desktop with no effect. I want to add the --no-daemon argument
[13:53] <ChaseTrains> xfsettingsd is started somehow.. but not via /etc/xdg/autostart/xfsettingsd.desktop . How do I find what's starting it?
[14:01] <Con7e> Hey mates
[14:01] <Con7e> I have a problem with Xubuntu
[14:01] <Con7e> Everytime I try to install it, I get on a underscore symbol on restart
[14:01] <Con7e> It's the only distro I've been having problems
[14:01] <Con7e> with
[14:07] <garandil> Con7e, how are you installing it? Install media etc?
[14:07] <Con7e> Via USB
[14:08] <garandil> And did you make sure the USB was 100% clean before making the install media?
[14:09] <Con7e> Well, the sw itself formats the USB before installing it
[14:50] <systemfish> i just want to restore xfce4/xubuntu settings to default
[14:58] <deshipu> the easiest way is to just create a new user
[15:05] <james0r2> systemfish: did you follow the advice in #xfce? works alright for my purpose
[15:06] <systemfish> I've probably messed up something weird.. I need to make a new user
[15:19] <cfhowlett> !install | cfhowlett
[15:28] <systemfish> I removed .iceautority and was able to login again
[16:33] <ChaseTrains> xfsettingsd is started without the --no-daemon argument in xubuntu, but I want it to be started with that argument. How do I set that? changing /etc/xgd/autostart/xfsettingsd.desktop doesn't change anything
[16:42] <xubuntu206> Hola
[16:42] <cfhowlett> !es | xubuntu206
[16:42] <xubuntu206> Soy Colombiano, alguien habla español?
[16:43] <xubuntu206> gracias
[16:43] <cfhowlett> xubuntu206 de nada
[16:48] <SonikkuAmerica> cfhowlett: (Yay for being bilingual)
[16:54] <cfhowlett> SonikkuAmerica you should hear me speak Mandarin - you'd be horrified and surprised.
[16:54] <SonikkuAmerica> You know Mandarin?
[16:54] <cfhowlett> SonikkuAmerica I'm in Beijing and I can say "I don't speak Mandarin."
[16:55] <cfhowlett> SonikkuAmerica but this is all OT ..
[16:55] <SonikkuAmerica> Yeah...
[17:15] <ChaseTrains> is there a script that I can run when the whole system starts? Not .bashrc. I'm going to put "hdparm -y /dev/.." and "hdparm -S /dev/.."  there
[17:32] <ChaseTrains> I'm trying to figure out whether hard disk spin down when idle is bad for the hard disk. Is it?
[17:57] <Kagee> Xubuntu 14.04, freshly installed yesterday, also started happening on 13.10 say a week or so ago: After each boot my keyboard is reset to english layout away from the one that i choose during installation.
[18:48] <sohail-ahmed> Is there any python irc channel at freenode?
[18:48] <Unit193> ##python
[18:48] <Unit193> !alis
[18:48] <bazhang> #python
[18:48] <bazhang> need to be registered iirc
[18:50] <sohail-ahmed> thanks!!!
[18:52] <Unit193> bazhang: Ah, sorry.  Thanks.
[18:53] <bazhang> sorry for?
[18:53] <Unit193> Wrong channel.
[18:53] <bazhang> I think it redirects
[18:54] <bazhang> ie ##
[18:55] <Unit193> Could, but alis says it has 25 people.
[18:55] <bazhang> weird
[18:55] <bazhang> python-unregged is apparently the 50th largest irc channel in the world
[18:56] <bazhang> sorry for the offtopic!
[19:18] <wilsonjl3> is there a program or something that can kick people off my wifi
[19:19] <bazhang> encryption
[19:19] <wilsonjl3> it is encrypted
[19:19] <bazhang> how
[19:19] <wilsonjl3> password
[19:19] <wilsonjl3> long-ass password
[19:19] <bazhang> wpa2?
[19:20] <wilsonjl3> yeah
[19:20] <bazhang> and they cracked it?
[19:20] <nikolam> just set password on router.
[19:20] <wilsonjl3> no they were given the password but im trying to skype my GF and she's using all the badwidth
[19:20] <nikolam> use powers of router manual :P
[19:20] <wilsonjl3> ahaha dunno where the manual is :P
[19:21] <bazhang> reset the router, change the pass
[19:21] <nikolam> you can only kick them
[19:21] <nikolam> who's she?
[19:21] <wilsonjl3> i dunno my router's ip thingy to get into it
[19:21] <wilsonjl3> my sister -.-
[19:21] <nikolam> Oh,
[19:21] <wilsonjl3> she is living with me for a bit
[19:21] <wilsonjl3> and she dosnt listen. at all.
[19:22] <bazhang> there's a web address typically
[19:22] <nikolam> you can buy better router that have load balancing or see in router manual how it balance load
[19:22] <bazhang> 192.168.1.1
[19:22] <wilsonjl3> yeah, but the one that is supposed to work on my router dosnt
[19:22] <wilsonjl3> ill try that ^
[19:22] <Unit193> Tomato or dd-wrt might work, good QoS in both.
[19:22] <nikolam> or you can put another wired router in front of that wireless router that share bandwith better
[19:23] <nikolam> I recomment Mikrotik router
[19:23] <wilsonjl3> are tomato and dd-wrt programs?
[19:24] <nikolam> It also has loads of options, multiple wan ports, VPN, uses management app that also run with wine
[19:24] <wilsonjl3> i dont have the money for a modem
[19:24] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, change the password, or even better, only allow your MAC Address to connect on the router
[19:24] <nikolam> dd is firmware for compatible router, with open linux inside, like distribution for routers. see in dd-wrt database what routers are compatible
[19:24] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, almost every router has this firewall option... just look at the 192.168.1.1
[19:25] <nikolam> brasileiro, but he must allow user to continue using network, cutting out is not solution
[19:25] <wilsonjl3> says web page is not available when i do that one ^
[19:26] <brasileiro> nikolam, don't think there's a solution then...
[19:26] <nikolam> see router manual , router model and does it have QoS to turn on or something similar
[19:27] <brasileiro> nikolam, he could make himself a router and then share bandwidth or make it on the router
[19:27] <nikolam> brasileiro, he can use another router, before wireless one, to shape traffic
[19:27] <wilsonjl3> siemens gigaset se567
[19:27] <wilsonjl3> ^ thats it
[19:27] <brasileiro> nikolam, he doesn't can buy a router
[19:28] <nikolam> why not
[19:28] <brasileiro> nikolam, no money
[19:28] <wilsonjl3> no money :P
[19:29] <nikolam> you can always find routers almost for free on ebay. Also every computer with 2 LAN ports can be a router
[19:29] <nikolam> and people throw away computers in trash all the time
[19:30] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, configure your ubuntu machine to be a router and share bandwidth as you like best... your wifi card might do the trick... http://xpressrazor.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/use-your-laptop-as-a-wifi-router-under-linux/
[19:30] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, only way i can think of without spending any more money
[19:30] <wilsonjl3> ohh
[19:31] <wilsonjl3> it only has one lan port, would it work?
[19:31] <wilsonjl3> and can i still use it as a comp after?
[19:31] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, it's not wifi?
[19:31] <wilsonjl3> yes?
[19:31] <wilsonjl3> oh
[19:31] <wilsonjl3> lol nvm
[19:32] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, you disable the wifi thing on the router and connect it to your machine via cable
[19:32] <brasileiro> then your machine becomes a wifi router
[19:32] <wilsonjl3> i cant get into it to disable that
[19:32] <brasileiro> wilsonjl3, you can read about it =)
[19:32] <brasileiro> that's probably the solution... you can figure out how to make it work
[19:33] <wilsonjl3> ok
[19:47] <nikolam> wilsonjl3, how fast internet link do you have?
[19:47] <nikolam> If you have more then 10Mbit link, you can choose wireless settings on router, to limit wireless speed to 10Mbit only. (802.11b) and then she couldn't take more bandwith then that
[19:48] <nikolam> at least not more download speed.
[19:48] <nikolam> Also that residential gateway is old, from 2007
[19:48] <wilsonjl3> slow :p
[19:49] <nikolam> also you could maybe find some wireless router, put is in LAN port of gateway router and set it with lowers peed to share wireless connection, and then turn off gigaset wireless
[19:52] <nikolam> if you use internet over cable LAN with your computer, you can maybe put wireless router in tinfoil, to make it have lousy reception, and therefore lower speed :P
[19:53] <nikolam> wilsonjl3, :P
[19:53] <wilsonjl3> haha
[20:02] <nikolam> and spare some money to buy normal wireless router with QoS, then put it on LAn port of Gateway and turn off gateway's wireless.
[20:03] <nikolam> at the end of line, you can always compain for the problem with your internet provider.
[20:03] <nikolam> They mostly would be glad to throw you off their backs, by giving you better router  that does not allow sucing up all bandwith over wireless
[20:05] <nikolam> I suggest oyu buy Mikrotik, since it is decent solution and bandwith can be shared precisely between users by mac address etc
[20:05] <nikolam> wilsonjl3,
[20:05] <Guido1> I have an external drive which makes some sound, but except for that it works just fine. How can I find out if I should replace the drive anyway? Right now I'm running GSmartControl
[20:05] <wilsonjl3> i have no money for that :P and sorry
[20:06] <nikolam> use SMART drive information to see what is state of drive
[20:06] <nikolam> wilsonjl3, they are in line of just 5 eur or something like that used to find, or something like that
[20:06] <wilsonjl3> my drived?
[20:06] <wilsonjl3> drives*
[20:07] <wilsonjl3> oh
[20:07] <wilsonjl3> thats cheap lol
[20:09] <nikolam> you just need it to have QoS on that wireless router (usually one wan and 4 LAn ports) and you are set
[20:10] <wilsonjl3> it has that i think
[20:10] <nikolam> yes, but That device is also modem, problem is it is old device, please also consult your service provider with a problem
[20:11] <wilsonjl3> ah ok
[20:11] <nikolam> yes, but problem is it is dumb. you need another that is just a bit more clever, behind it :P
[20:11] <wilsonjl3> aha ok
[20:11] <wilsonjl3> makes sense i guess :P
[20:13] <nikolam> where do you live, btw wilsonjl3
[20:13] <wilsonjl3> Canada, EH? :P
[20:18] <wilsonjl3> why?
[20:21] <ChaseTrains> I want to spin down a secondary disk. Settings->disks->standby timeout setting-> 5 seconds .. I've hdparm -S1 /dev/.. as well. Doesn't matter if it's mounted or not, disk does not spin down. The only thing that works is to unmount it and run hdparm -Y (or -y) /dev/..   How do you do this in xubuntu in a sensible fashion?
[20:22] <xubuntudeb> hello, sorry for the question. Do you know if exist a script to apply to debian, for look like xfce as xubuntu?
[20:24] <ChaseTrains> something is repeatedly activating my secondary harddisk.. not letting it sleep (spin down). How do I figure out what that is? It's an empty secondary disk.
[20:26] <xubuntudeb> ChaseTrains: apt-get install htop
[20:26] <xubuntudeb> htop
[20:30] <xangua> what's diferent between xfce in debian and ubuntu¿ debian still uses xfce 4.10 or something¿
[20:30] <xubuntudeb> 4.8 in debian stable
[20:31] <xubuntudeb> but, what theme use xubuntu?
[20:32] <xangua> mmmm can't remember right now but I think it's mentioned in xubuntu.org
[20:32] <xangua> Oh the site is diferent now, now I'm lost :P
[20:33] <xubuntudeb> no problem xangua, thank you
[20:34] <nikolam> you can always check versions of packages at packages.ubuntu.com ...
[20:34] <xangua> it's greybird xubuntudeb
[20:34] <xubuntudeb> thankyou very much xangua
[20:34] <xangua> but I like to use ambiance and ubuntu mono icons :P
[20:35] <xubuntudeb> : )
[20:38] <nikolam> I just learned that just 30.000 years ago, level of world oceans was lower by 130Meters or something and we got continental glaciers. WOW.
[20:42] <nikolam> http://xkcd.com/1225/
[20:43] <nikolam> Hi MOntreal, under 3.3Kilometers of ice, in just 19.000BC...
[21:50] <ChaseTrains> Hi. I've been googling my bottom off, and still can't understand why jbd2 (journaling) is writing to my empty secondary disk every 3-5 sec, or how to disable that (let the disk be untouched for hours since I don't want it to spin up). Ideas? One option is to just let it spin.. but it's noisy when the rest of the computer is pretty much free of mechanics.
[22:27] <Kagee> When i hold Alt and scroll on the mouse, my whole desktop zoomes. Anyone got any idea or documentation on what does that?
[22:28] <Kagee> Xubuntu 14.04, relativly fresh install, newest nvidia binary drivers installed from nvidia.com
[22:29] <Unit193> Kagee: Yeah, that's expected and a feature of Xfwm4.
[22:44] <Kagee> Ahh, thanks. I WTFed.
