| itsmrgomez | Hello all! | 03:35 |
| itsmrgomez | I'm currently installin xububuntu 14 for the first time | 03:35 |
| itsmrgomez | I've dabbled in linux but I've decided to take the plunge to a full time user | 03:36 |
| * itsmrgomez hears crickets | 03:38 | |
| itsmrgomez | bye! | 03:39 |
| xubuntu197 | hi, I'd like some help fixing my clock. It always stays 5 hours ahead. | 05:03 |
| xubuntu197 | I run this but to no avail: sudo ntpdate -u us.pool.ntp.org | 05:04 |
| ObrienDave | hang on | 05:06 |
| ObrienDave | run time-admin, set your time zone and sync with internet servers | 05:07 |
| ObrienDave | you might have to install ntp support | 05:08 |
| xubuntu197 | thee time zone is correctly set - it is also set to synchronized with server.So I am confused why it doesn't set the proper time. | 05:08 |
| ObrienDave | maybe your BIOS clock is off by 5 hours | 05:10 |
| ObrienDave | UEFI, whatever | 05:10 |
| xubuntu197 | i am on relatively old laptop so i don't have any option in bios. | 05:10 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu197: 1. Did you logout and back in? 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 05:11 |
| ObrienDave | you always have the option to set system time in BIOS. been like that for 30 years | 05:11 |
| xubuntu197 | yes agree, but this compaq n410c laptop doesn't seem to have that option | 05:11 |
| xubuntu197 | is there any file i could check to set the time in CST? | 05:13 |
| ObrienDave | option #2 ^^^ | 05:13 |
| xubuntu197 | the time-admin does not show time zone, it shows Country/city. | 05:14 |
| ObrienDave | sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata | 05:14 |
| xubuntu197 | dpkg shows correct time in terminal | 05:15 |
| xubuntu197 | but i still see the clock 5 hours ahead | 05:15 |
| ObrienDave | where do you live? | 05:16 |
| xubuntu197 | I may have installed incorrect package earlier. In my Settings, I see Time and Date and Date and Time - two different apps, but only one of them works. | 05:17 |
| ObrienDave | that might do it | 05:17 |
| xubuntu197 | which one should I uninstall? | 05:18 |
| ObrienDave | couldn't tell you, maybe the one that doesn't work? | 05:19 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, try uninstalling the one that does work | 05:19 |
| ObrienDave | here are manuals; http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults/?sp4ts.oid=316652 | 05:31 |
| xubuntu197 | i removed the other app. I guess my problem is that my clock is showing me universal UTC time and not local CDT time. This i see after running dpkg | 05:34 |
| ObrienDave | that would make sense | 05:37 |
| === trevjburns is now known as trev`zZzZzZz | ||
| svetlana | I have some ~/scratchbox (http://dpaste.com/3WEYH4R) and I am not sure which package it's from; dpkg -S on it shows no matches... | 08:21 |
| naklov | Hello! | 08:34 |
| naklov | Is there someone here? | 08:35 |

| svetlana | I have trouble removing gcj-4.6-jre-headless from my system, the package manager insists that I need some sort of Java installed | 10:33 |
| baizon | svetlana: well install then openjdk | 10:39 |
| svetlana | why do I need it? | 10:44 |
| ObrienDave | svetlana, just out of curiosity, what OS are you running? | 10:59 |
| svetlana | Xubuntu at the moment | 11:02 |
| ObrienDave | oh great, i can't login normally. using guest account. grrrrrr | 12:04 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: Just a guess, did you change your keyboard layout ? | 12:10 |
| ObrienDave | naw, when i enter password it loops back to logon screen | 12:11 |
| ObrienDave | brb | 12:11 |
| ObrienDave | aggravating | 12:14 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: Can you log in using virtual terminals ? ( For example Ctrl-Alt-F1 ) | 12:14 |
| ObrienDave | from where? | 12:14 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: Do you know what I mean by Ctrl-Alt-F1 ? | 12:16 |
| ObrienDave | yea, i can get in by ctrl-alt-f1 | 12:22 |
| ObrienDave | when i try to start hexchat i get GTK error can't start display. or something like that | 12:22 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: You probably have already tried rebooting ? | 12:24 |
| ObrienDave | several times, yes | 12:24 |
| ObrienDave | same loop back to logon | 12:24 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: My guess would be that you could find a clue in the logs. | 12:25 |
| ObrienDave | i can't get into anything under the guest account. afaik | 12:25 |
| ObrienDave | sudo -i does not let me into the file system | 12:26 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: I don't know whether you can access them as a guest user, but you should be able to in virtual terminal. | 12:26 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: Do you have any experiance with the command line ? | 12:27 |
| ObrienDave | not too much under Xubuntu. i can screw it up pretty easily LOL | 12:27 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: Do you know basic commands like ls and cd ? | 12:29 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 12:30 |
| ObrienDave | cat | 12:30 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: I think the logs are stored in /var/log/ | 12:32 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: You will probably be interested in logs that Xorg is generating. But I am no expert. | 12:33 |
| ObrienDave | trying to get android irc client going | 12:37 |
| ObrienDave | ok, brb | 12:45 |
| ObrienDave | Ok. Did sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop. No joy | 12:51 |
| brainwash | ObrienDave: tried to start the guest session? | 12:53 |
| ObrienDave | Guest works | 12:54 |
| brainwash | delete your ~/.Xauthority and try to login again | 12:55 |
| ObrienDave | K | 12:55 |
| brainwash | if this does not help, you should take a look at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log | 12:57 |
| ObrienDave | Ls in home directory shows nothing | 12:58 |
| brainwash | ls -a | 12:58 |
| ObrienDave | . .. | 12:58 |
| brainwash | to display hidden files like .Xauthority | 12:58 |
| ObrienDave | Nothing | 12:59 |
| brainwash | and ls -la ? | 13:00 |
| brainwash | to get a list view | 13:00 |
| ObrienDave | Total 8 | 13:00 |
| brainwash | the important part is to run "rm ~/.Xauthority" | 13:01 |
| ObrienDave | Drwxr-rx-x 2 root root 4096 aug q 04:55 . | 13:02 |
| brainwash | pasting random lines isn't really helpful :/ | 13:03 |
| ObrienDave | No such file | 13:03 |
| ObrienDave | Home partition seems gone | 13:03 |
| brainwash | magically? | 13:04 |
| ObrienDave | Home is in root. Nothing in home | 13:04 |
| brainwash | /home/<user> ? | 13:05 |
| ObrienDave | No such file or directory | 13:06 |
| brainwash | and the output of "mount"? is /home mounted? | 13:06 |
| ObrienDave | Don't think so | 13:07 |
| brainwash | that's odd | 13:08 |
| ObrienDave | Yes. /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /home | 13:08 |
| GridCube | ObrienDave, type cd and press enter | 13:09 |
| GridCube | that should send you directly to ~/ | 13:09 |
| ObrienDave | No at root | 13:09 |
| ObrienDave | Wait | 13:10 |
| GridCube | yes at root | 13:10 |
| GridCube | ~/ for root is /root/ | 13:10 |
| ObrienDave | Have 2 sda6 | 13:10 |
| GridCube | but you aint root | 13:10 |
| GridCube | if you are you did something wrong | 13:10 |
| ObrienDave | /mnt/timeshift and /home | 13:11 |
| ObrienDave | Am root now. Sudo -s | 13:12 |
| ObrienDave | Same thing. Nothing in home directory | 13:13 |
| ObrienDave | Can I unmount timeshift? | 13:15 |
| ObrienDave | Umount /mnt/timeshift worked. Still nothing in /home | 13:17 |
| GridCube | ObrienDave, what is fstab saying about your home mountpoint? | 13:19 |
| GridCube | are you sure your home is not encrypted? | 13:19 |
| ObrienDave | Yes am sure | 13:20 |
| ObrienDave | Where is fstab? | 13:20 |
| GridCube | /etc/fstab | 13:20 |
| ObrienDave | Fstab shows 2 sda6 /home and /mnt/timeshift | 13:22 |
| ObrienDave | Oh no. Have idea. Sec | 13:23 |
| ObrienDave | I have nothing in either /home i | 13:25 |
| ObrienDave | O | 13:25 |
| ObrienDave | Or /mnt/timeshift. I was in the middle of deleting timeshift when I got a write error. Could not find log file for hexchat | 13:27 |
| ObrienDave | Not getting what I did. Grrrrr | 13:28 |
| ObrienDave | Thinking it got confused about where home was | 13:29 |
| ObrienDave | Brb | 13:29 |
| ObrienDave | Back | 13:32 |
| ObrienDave | I have recent backup of home. Could I copy that? | 13:34 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: we might be talking past each other, but if you are sure that home is gone, then you might as well reinstall and then restore from your backup. | 13:38 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: I don't know how the encrytion works. | 13:39 |
| ObrienDave | 99% sure. Could I just copy backup to /home? | 13:40 |
| ggabkdlly | ObrienDave: for all that I know, it could store the data somewhere else and mount it at login. | 13:40 |
| ObrienDave | No encryption. Rsych | 13:40 |
| ObrienDave | So reinstall is best? | 13:40 |
| ggabkdlly | Did you opt for any encryption when you installed ? | 13:41 |
| ObrienDave | No. Never. Learned that the hard way. Lol | 13:42 |
| ggabkdlly | The current installers I think give you the option to either encrypt everything, or just encrypt home, or encryt nothing ( appart from data that individual applications will encrypt ). | 13:43 |
| ObrienDave | Nothing is encrypted | 13:43 |
| ggabkdlly | OK | 13:43 |
| ObrienDave | Want to try a straight copy from backup. Am in backup golder now | 13:44 |
| ObrienDave | Folder | 13:44 |
| ObrienDave | Give me a command to /home | 13:45 |
| ggabkdlly | it kind of depends on how you did your backup | 13:45 |
| ObrienDave | Rsych | 13:46 |
| ggabkdlly | do you mean rsync ? | 13:46 |
| ObrienDave | Straight file backup | 13:46 |
| ObrienDave | Yes | 13:46 |
| ggabkdlly | I don't know whether that would work, might have a conflict with permissions, but if all you have is the backup, I guess you don't have much to lose by trying. You want to make a second backup before proceeding. | 13:49 |
| ObrienDave | rsync -r . /home | 13:49 |
| ObrienDave | Look right? | 13:50 |
| ggabkdlly | it depends, do you have a folder with your username in . or are you in the folder of your username now ? | 13:52 |
| ObrienDave | I have a user name folder that I want to send | 13:53 |
| ObrienDave | Now just above that name | 13:53 |
| ggabkdlly | also, you have to be carefull with rsync, because a trailing / is meaningfull, check the man page. | 13:53 |
| ObrienDave | Reading | 13:53 |
| ObrienDave | Trying rsync -rn . /home | 13:56 |
| ggabkdlly | you might have to run chown with appropriate options after copying | 13:56 |
| ObrienDave | Ok | 13:57 |
| ObrienDave | Running rsync -rvn . /home looking good so far | 13:58 |
| ggabkdlly | I am going offline soon. | 13:58 |
| ObrienDave | User name at front of path | 13:58 |
| ObrienDave | K. Thank you | 13:58 |
| ObrienDave | Going for it. Thanks | 14:00 |

| delt | Hello | 18:49 |
| delt | i noticed 14.04.1 is out. Did that laptop bug ever get fixed finally? | 18:49 |
| delt | (the bug where closing the laptop leaves the screen in an unusable state) | 18:49 |
| delt | is it fixed? (it's pretty serious....) | 18:49 |
| deshipu | delt: I would look for it at launchpad and see the status | 19:01 |
| knome | reading the release announcement on the website (http://xubuntu.org/news/xubuntu-14-04-1-released/) is always also highly recommended, since it saves your and our time. | 19:02 |
| EDinNY | cant seem to get Emacs bindings to work. I configured it, it worked, then, after reboot it is broken | 19:10 |
| bazhang | asked in #emacs yet? | 19:13 |
| David-A | EDinNY: did you edit an emacs config file? try start with the option --no-init-file | 19:13 |
| EDinNY | Settings Editor->xfce4->xsettings->KeyThemName emacs | 19:13 |
| EDinNY | David-A: is this where it goes? | 19:13 |
| David-A | EDinNY: sorry, I was talking about the editor itself. you mean key bindings in the desktop i guess | 19:14 |
| EDinNY | Yes | 19:14 |
| EDinNY | ...or I would have gone to #emacs | 19:15 |
| nazrech | Hi everyone. I'm experiencing annoying screen tearing in all other DE's than Cinnamon using the newest priorietary nvidia drivers in Xubuntu 14.04. Is it possible to fix? | 19:15 |
| derek-g | why is my chromium of version 34? while version 37 was already released.... Why is the delay? | 19:17 |
| knome | derek-g, you should be in touch with the chromium package maintainer, or even volunteer to help with it | 19:17 |
| knome | derek-g, newer versions do not necessarily land in ubuntu releases at all | 19:19 |
| derek-g | knome, i'm not good at packaging. :( | 19:19 |
| EDinNY | I found that the AMD site has better drivers, but you need to compile them | 19:20 |
| EDinNY | ...for nvidea | 19:20 |
| knome | EDinNY, there's no way you can use AMD drivers with an nvidia card. | 19:20 |
| EDinNY | sorry. Mixed it up with ATI vid card | 19:22 |
| derek-g | knome, what would I do if I need the latest version? | 19:22 |
| derek-g | knome, is there a ppa? | 19:22 |
| knome | derek-g, potentially; i don't know | 19:23 |
| derek-g | knome, what do u use? | 19:23 |
| knome | derek-g, firefox, but even if i used chromium, i'd probably be fine with the version in the repository | 19:24 |
| baizon | derek-g: https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-beta | 19:27 |
| baizon | there you have 37 | 19:27 |
| derek-g | baizon, ahh nice. thank you. | 19:28 |
| knome | as always, you use PPA's at your own discretion and risk. | 19:31 |
