[04:40] i seem to have disabled the screen lock (power manager and light locker) and its still coming on? any ideas? [04:40] Have you look in the Settings Manager - Settings Editor ? [04:42] it just confirms the same settings that i set elsewhere [04:43] this is 14.04 [04:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker/+bug/1287255 [04:45] Ubuntu bug 1287255 in light-locker (Ubuntu) "Disabling screen lock is not possible" [Medium,Fix released] [04:49] shay_shay, what is the Screen Lock ? [04:50] I misread, I think you were talking about the Num Lock [04:51] testing it now [04:52] i toggled the switch in case it was out of stnc [04:52] sync [04:52] now i play the waiting game [04:53] I still don't know what is the "Screen Lock" ? [04:54] your screen has a password when you return from sleep? [04:55] screen lock. notice how it doesnt lock the keyboard or the mouse? [04:56] hmm, no ? [04:57] either of us could come up with 100 esoterically named unix/linux components. not to mention common words which are unrelated to tech [05:02] its been called a lockscreen for decades [05:04] ok === jp__ is now known as JayPi [07:16] hey guys [07:17] i can't seem to figure out how to get wmfs to start [07:20] the West Midlands Fire Service? [07:20] ahh 3rd result. Windows Manager From Scratch. [07:21] lol [07:21] yep the latter [07:21] never used it, but is there perhaps a wmfs --replace? [07:22] nope already checked [07:22] you edited your xfce4-session.xml and logged in and out? [07:22] yep that too [07:22] what do you get? WM-less? [07:23] i had issues while trying out WM where my session was saving previous instances of WMs because i had inadvertently checked save session on logout [07:23] kind of a bonehead move but thought i'd mention that in case that's your flub up [07:24] i just get the mouse cursor [07:24] and the save session on logout is unticked [07:24] no decorations on windows? [07:25] nothing just the mouse cursor [07:26] yeah not sure. you following an installation guide of any kind? here's Arch's https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WMFS#Installation [07:27] tried that too ! [07:28] the damn thing wont start [07:28] its wierd [07:28] bummer, yeah that's one of those things i'm just too lazy to troubleshoot. maybe someone else in here will have some exp with it [07:36] I bet there is something in the logs [07:36] tail -100 /var/log/syslog [07:36] or dmesg [07:37] or maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:13] Helllo, I would like to know what for internet (already gigabit or not) we have in the university and on my room How can I find that out? === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [08:36] I see "[38675.292097] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through\r\n[38675.293418] sdb: sdb1" in dmesg, and both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 exist. How do I read /contents/ of such flash drive from commandline? [08:38] svetlana, mount /dev/sdb1 /pick/a/mount/point [08:39] knome: i suspect it's already mounted though, how do i check?

[08:52] nothing about sdb.. will it complain if i misread and tried to mount twice? [08:52] just leave the gvfs mount be [08:53] it will probably complain, but no harm will be done [08:53] but if mount doesn't tell you it's mounted, then it's not [09:01] I copied data from a usb flash drive somewhere and now I'd like to unmount it. `umount /pick/a/mount/point`, right? [09:04] yes [09:06] is it normal that the 'point' directory still exists (and is empty) after that?

[11:11] yes Wikibear [11:14] Hello, I have the xubuntu 14.04 in a netbook connected to the tv to see movies, etc. the problem is that after 10 minutes (+-) the screen turns black and I need to put the login password. Its very irritating. Can anyone help? [11:14] check player settings or screensaver settings to disable screensaver [11:15] how do i suspend from commandline please, i don't have gnome running [11:16] There are many issues with sound and HDMI... I tested it all. It's recommend to install the latest graphic drivers [11:16] hi [11:16] hi [11:16] i forgot a question mark; last line was a question [11:17] if you get a black screen, then desable screensaver in xubuntu.

I try to set xorg.conf with no luck [11:19] it is working now Wikibear [11:20] Yes sounds good :) [11:20] i had to launch nvidia x config [11:20] jip in most cases no sound with HDMI its a driver problem [11:21] strange behavior indeed [11:21] If you google "ubuntu no HDMI sound" you will find mass on entrys ;) [11:22] "google it yourself" - that's not how support works :) [11:22] Yes thats right but you can see that i help him [11:22] i don't know though so we may have to wait a bit for someone to show up [11:25] thank you Wikibear [11:26] no problem glad that i can help you [11:28] Otherwise my titles at windows are black [11:28] i get this error: (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/" does not exist. === koegs_ is now known as koegs === hanshenrik is now known as hans_henrik [11:51] Wikibear, I think that error is a red hearing, I dont have that folder either [12:02] OK my window decoration are black any hint? === xubuntu is now known as Guest53847 [12:13] Wikibear: window decorations preference menu ? [12:13] when i install a new package for example vlc it automatically becomes default, why? can i stop that? [12:14] Guest53847 nope. VLC doesn't become the default media player unless you tell it to [12:15] cfhowlett, i just tested in livecd. and it's not only vlc. If i install for example gtkpod which has a dependancy of ajunda (i cant remember the exact name) it becomes default file manager [12:17] Guest53847 liveCD? pretty sure native install has a different behavior pattern. but you can always set file properties: open with ... [12:20] well i dont wanna do that everytime i install something [12:22] anyway thanks [12:22] how can i reset the complete window settings and themes back to default? [12:55] Wikibear: http://askubuntu.com/questions/224006/resetting-xfce-panels-to-default-settings [13:03] killed now xfe4 home folder now the bars are not black but buttons are missing [13:05] log out and back in? if so, try switching themes and then swithcing back [13:07] Wikibear extreme measure but ... delete /Home/.config/xfce4 [13:07] Wikibear logout/login and you should see defaults [13:23] jip i have deleted [13:23] but that wont work [13:23] no buttons close maximize minimize [13:25] Wikibear, press alt-f2 and type xfwm4 --replace [13:26] wont work [13:27] i've tryed this and the desktop reset short but its still all the same [13:28] Wikibear, press the windows key and T, in the terminal type sudo apt-get update and the sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [13:31] xubuntu-desktop is installed [13:31] and newest version [13:34] mmm [13:34] jip its stupid [13:34] killed sessions too [13:35] the title bar is light visible but not much no title no buttons [13:38] Wikibear, can you put a screen shot in pastebin? [13:43] yes will do [13:43] chromium has buttons... [13:43] but not terminal window [13:43] will send [13:49] http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3697/wyjzlgo5_jpg.htm [13:50] so, chromium can use its own widget set instead of the system default. [13:51] so that might explain that, one sec [13:52] so if you go to settings > window manager, you should be able to change the widget style. Try a couple different ones and see if the widgets re-appear [13:54] no dont came up choose another theme and its still the same [13:56] hmm wow something really broken. well lets find out if this is a system or user account issue. Can you create a new user and login to that account? If its particular to the first user account it should be fine. if not its probly a systemwide issue [13:56] rgr stby [14:03] hm [14:03] how can i change the user? [14:03] did you add a new one? you should be able to logout and log in as the new user [14:04] not sure that switch use is available any longer [14:04] yes logout login is missing [14:04] oooo [14:04] one sec [14:05] alt-f2 xfce4-session-logout [14:05] strg alt del? [14:06] might work too [14:07] oh man thats boring... black screen thats all what happening [14:07] my hdmi error -.- [14:07] o [14:08] does ctrl-alt-f2 bring you to a terminal window? [14:08] no odro is off [14:08] ... [14:08] o [14:08] might have to reboot [14:10] no [14:10] the odro stops working if i logout [14:10] :) [14:11] i think best way is to kill installation and make a complete new one... [14:12] thanks dragon [14:13] np [14:14] otherwise can i deinstall x complete and reinstall? [14:14] you can sudo apt-get purge xfce4* from the command line and then reinstall [14:14] will try it out [14:20] ok reboot work thats the first step [14:20] haha nooooooo same error [15:29] Hi. What is the name of the service / process which automatically checks for updates and prompts me to install them? [15:29] dunpeal update-manager [15:30] cfhowlett_: thanks, but how come `ps aux | grep update` fails to show it running? [15:30] yet I just got prompted for some updates when I rebooted. [15:31] dunpeal not certain it stays resident = run on boot then shut down when done? [15:31] dunpeal "done" = message to update sent [15:31] cfhowlett_: I see, thanks!

[17:35] yeaaa? i did the browsing thing,,,,i need to what app to open the device in [17:36] xubuntu122: thunar should cause it to auto-mount if that's what you mean [17:36] when plug my headphones in the sound comes from my headphones AND the speaker built into my laptop, how do i fix it? [17:37] xubuntu751: Sorry, I try not to do stuff like that on xubuntu...I run a source-based distro when I need to custom gompile system services [17:38] wilsonjl3: have you chegked pulseaudio settings [17:38] no, i dunno how too [17:39] k i'll give a shot,next issue is i have a lexmark x8350 all in one printer you know of any drivers for this or how to install in linux OS?

I'm not an advance user so I would like to have some help with this. I tried every single possible solution to compile it but all of them leads me to error when trying to {make}/compile alsa driver :/ [17:43] xubuntu122: there's a gui printer setup in your control panel try that first [17:44] xubuntu122: if it doesn't work I'll show you alternatives [17:44] thanx [17:45] xubuntu751: okay, so can we back up and make sure you really need custom alsa? [17:45] could be an XY problem [17:46] Hedgework: I think so because last time I installed xubuntu only custom alsa resolved the problem [17:47] Right, but there may be an easier solution now. [17:47] things change [17:47] talking to work people bbiab [17:49] ok i'm stupid,,,where's control panel? [17:49] I tried but the best solution by now was working mic but with a lot of noise and I couldn't barely hear my voice [17:50] I could* [17:50] last time this was the solution https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AA1/Fixes [17:56] xubuntu751: ummm in the menu somewhere...sorry I don't use the default gui so I don't know it well...might be galled settings or somethitg [17:58] xubuntu751: what version of xubuntu did you upgrade to 14.04 from?

[20:49] Hey guys I need some help [20:50] Trying to install xubuntu 64x bit on my friends HP laptop, it boots to asking me install or live and neither work and boot to black screen. I tried nomodeset in grub console but it can't find that command. i'm kind of lost... [20:53] Hood[KIA-Cerulea: that often happens if you try to eufi boot on a machine with a crappy BIOS...try making sure the BIOS is set to legacy boot [20:54] anyway, I'm outta here :) [20:54] Hedgework: noooo lol [20:55] Hedgework: Legacy mode is on... [21:52] Hi! I got those messages just before the splash screen on Xubuntu 14.04 : «INFO 0wl_cfg80211_attach : Registered CFG80211 phy» and «Bluetooth : hci0 command 0x1003 tx timeout». I turned off the bluetooth... Any ideas? [22:08] pleaase how do i get back the volume and network icon back in status bar at the top right hand corner? [22:10] kingplusplus: did you manually remove them? [22:10] xangua, i think i did (not sure) [22:11] Does anyone here know how to change the background in lightdm? I changed the config file and set background = to my file location, but for some reason, the login backgorund only changed for the guest user and not me. [22:11] If you did, just add the indicator to your panel as any other widget kingplusplus [22:11] its not found in preference when i rightclick [22:11] T60: Because it's using the accountservice background as set by xfdesktop. [22:12] Unit193: how does one stop that [22:12] Indicator menu I believe is called [22:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+bug/1306362 [22:13] Ubuntu bug 1306362 in lightdm-gtk-greeter (Ubuntu) "AccountsService conflicts with configured logon background" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:15] xangua, the indicator is missing [22:16] Unit193: I tried some of the fixes like disabling the guest account and doing chmod, but none of them worked. [22:16] T60: No, but it'll be fixed in the next release. [22:16] Unit193: well that's a shame :/ [22:19] Also I do have another problem, I cannot restart Xubuntu, or else it'll lead me to a permanent black screen (until I force shut down). I think this has something to do with me adding "nomodeset" in grub. Shutdown even breaks every once in a while as well. Even though I changed the grub file and did update-grub, I still have to do a hard shut down, press e in grub, scroll all the way down and change to back to nomodeset, even though I've changed it before. [22:20] T60: wait, how is fixing something in the next release a shame? [22:20] What are you editing in order to change the boot option in grub? [22:20] ochosi: That it's not going to be fixed in this one. [22:20] ochosi: I was saying it's a shame b/c I cannot do anything about it. [22:20] but it's always going to be fixed in the next release :> [22:20] if there is a bug/missing feature [22:20] actually it has been like that for ages [22:21] basically since the feature was introduced, which was at least two or three releases ago [22:21] Unit193: I run "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" then change one of the lines to "nomodeset" [22:22] (also, using the daily PPA is a workaround, at your own risk) [22:22] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT is the one to change, then check if it matches /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:22] Wait, I did the first part, I never even saw the second part before. I'll fix that right now... [22:24] Unit193: grub.cfg matches with the changes that I have made [22:25] T60: So, if the boot option doesn't match this, you have grub installed from another distribution, don't you? :) [22:25] Wait, I said it does match? [22:26] T60: You said grub.cfg matches /etc/default/grub, which does not match the boot up screen. [22:27] It matches sometimes, then other times I have to go in and change it myself, but I cannot possibly have another grub installed because I formatted my HDD getting rid of Arch forever. Arch brings bad memories... [22:31] Unit193: or did I miss something here? Another weird thing that happens is that this happens to me when I log out and log back in: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Q1bg9qP_qic/maxresdefault.jpg [22:32] I'd call that an interesting one. [22:33] and I don't mean that image shows up haha, I mean my display goes through color distortion. [22:34] Yeah, I got that part. :P [22:34] haha yeah [22:35] Also my computer is almost 9 years old if that counts for anything. [22:37] I've had issues with my 82845G/GL, but a little different than that. [22:37] Interesting, have you fixed all the issues though? [22:38] Forced it in true color, disabled xfwm compositor, etc. at least fixed the majority of them. [22:39] Dang, I'm going to try and test something brb [23:29] Unit193: I'm back and I think I know the issue. [23:52] hei guys [23:52] im trying to share my files on my lan for both windows and linux users [23:52] how do i do this? [23:52] Use samba. [23:56] i thought ubuntu had samba integrated in it? [23:56] not xubuntu [23:59] ?
