[00:41] <jesse__> 'ello
[00:43] <ObrienDave> jesse__, greetings and welcome
[03:35] <itsmrgomez> Hello all!
[03:35] <itsmrgomez> I'm currently installin xububuntu 14 for the first time
[03:36] <itsmrgomez> I've dabbled in linux but I've decided to take the plunge to a full time user
[03:38]  * itsmrgomez hears crickets
[03:39] <itsmrgomez> bye!
[05:03] <xubuntu197> hi, I'd like some help fixing my clock. It always stays 5 hours ahead.
[05:04] <xubuntu197> I run this but to no avail: sudo ntpdate -u us.pool.ntp.org
[05:06] <ObrienDave> hang on
[05:07] <ObrienDave> run time-admin, set your time zone and sync with internet servers
[05:08] <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.
[05:10] <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.
[05:11] <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
[05:13] <xubuntu197> is there any file i could check to set the time in CST?
[05:13] <ObrienDave> option #2 ^^^
[05:14] <xubuntu197> the time-admin does not show time zone, it shows Country/city.
[05:14] <ObrienDave> sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[05:15] <xubuntu197> dpkg shows correct time in terminal
[05:15] <xubuntu197> but i still see the clock 5 hours ahead
[05:16] <ObrienDave> where do you live?
[05:17] <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
[05:18] <xubuntu197> which one should I uninstall?
[05:19] <ObrienDave> couldn't tell you, maybe the one that doesn't work?
[05:19] <ObrienDave> hmm, try uninstalling the one that does work
[05:31] <ObrienDave> here are manuals; http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults/?sp4ts.oid=316652
[05:34] <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
[05:37] <ObrienDave> that would make sense
[08:21] <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...
[08:34] <naklov> Hello!
[08:35] <naklov> Is there someone here?
[10:33] <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
[10:39] <baizon> svetlana: well install then openjdk
[10:44] <svetlana> why do I need it?
[10:59] <ObrienDave> svetlana, just out of curiosity, what OS are you running?
[11:02] <svetlana> Xubuntu at the moment
[12:04] <ObrienDave> oh great, i can't login normally. using guest account. grrrrrr
[12:10] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: Just a guess, did you change your keyboard layout ?
[12:11] <ObrienDave> naw, when i enter password it loops back to logon screen
[12:11] <ObrienDave> brb
[12:14] <ObrienDave> aggravating
[12:14] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: Can you log in using virtual terminals ? ( For example Ctrl-Alt-F1 )
[12:14] <ObrienDave> from where?
[12:16] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: Do you know what I mean by Ctrl-Alt-F1 ?
[12:22] <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
[12:24] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: You probably have already tried rebooting ?
[12:24] <ObrienDave> several times, yes
[12:24] <ObrienDave> same loop back to logon
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <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.
[12:27] <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
[12:29] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: Do you know basic commands like ls and cd ?
[12:30] <ObrienDave> yes
[12:30] <ObrienDave> cat
[12:32] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: I think the logs are stored in /var/log/
[12:33] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: You will probably be interested in logs that Xorg is generating.  But I am no expert.
[12:37] <ObrienDave> trying to get android irc client going
[12:45] <ObrienDave> ok, brb
[12:51] <ObrienDave> Ok. Did sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop. No joy
[12:53] <brainwash> ObrienDave: tried to start the guest session?
[12:54] <ObrienDave> Guest works
[12:55] <brainwash> delete your ~/.Xauthority and try to login again
[12:55] <ObrienDave> K
[12:57] <brainwash> if this does not help, you should take a look at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log
[12:58] <ObrienDave> Ls in home directory shows nothing
[12:58] <brainwash> ls -a
[12:58] <ObrienDave> . ..
[12:58] <brainwash> to display hidden files like .Xauthority
[12:59] <ObrienDave> Nothing
[13:00] <brainwash> and ls -la ?
[13:00] <brainwash> to get a list view
[13:00] <ObrienDave> Total 8
[13:01] <brainwash> the important part is to run "rm ~/.Xauthority"
[13:02] <ObrienDave> Drwxr-rx-x 2 root root 4096 aug q 04:55 .
[13:03] <brainwash> pasting random lines isn't really helpful :/
[13:03] <ObrienDave> No such file
[13:03] <ObrienDave> Home partition seems gone
[13:04] <brainwash> magically?
[13:04] <ObrienDave> Home is in root. Nothing in home
[13:05] <brainwash> /home/<user> ?
[13:06] <ObrienDave> No such file or directory
[13:06] <brainwash> and the output of "mount"? is /home mounted?
[13:07] <ObrienDave> Don't think so
[13:08] <brainwash> that's odd
[13:08] <ObrienDave> Yes. /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /home
[13:09] <GridCube> ObrienDave, type cd and press enter
[13:09] <GridCube> that should send you directly to ~/
[13:09] <ObrienDave> No at root
[13:10] <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
[13:11] <ObrienDave>  /mnt/timeshift and /home
[13:12] <ObrienDave> Am root now. Sudo -s
[13:13] <ObrienDave> Same thing. Nothing in home directory
[13:15] <ObrienDave> Can I unmount timeshift?
[13:17] <ObrienDave> Umount /mnt/timeshift worked. Still nothing in /home
[13:19] <GridCube> ObrienDave, what is fstab saying about your home mountpoint?
[13:19] <GridCube> are you sure your home is not encrypted?
[13:20] <ObrienDave> Yes am sure
[13:20] <ObrienDave> Where is fstab?
[13:20] <GridCube> /etc/fstab
[13:22] <ObrienDave> Fstab shows 2 sda6 /home and /mnt/timeshift
[13:23] <ObrienDave> Oh no. Have idea. Sec
[13:25] <ObrienDave> I have nothing in either /home i
[13:25] <ObrienDave> O
[13:27] <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
[13:28] <ObrienDave> Not getting what I did. Grrrrr
[13:29] <ObrienDave> Thinking it got confused about where home was
[13:29] <ObrienDave> Brb
[13:32] <ObrienDave> Back
[13:34] <ObrienDave> I have recent backup of home. Could I copy that?
[13:38] <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.
[13:39] <ggabkdlly> ObrienDave: I don't know how the encrytion works.
[13:40] <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?
[13:41] <ggabkdlly> Did you opt for any encryption when you installed ?
[13:42] <ObrienDave> No. Never. Learned that the hard way. Lol
[13:43] <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
[13:44] <ObrienDave> Want to try a straight copy from backup. Am in backup golder now
[13:44] <ObrienDave> Folder
[13:45] <ObrienDave> Give me a command to /home
[13:45] <ggabkdlly> it kind of depends on how you did your backup
[13:46] <ObrienDave> Rsych
[13:46] <ggabkdlly> do you mean rsync ?
[13:46] <ObrienDave> Straight file backup
[13:46] <ObrienDave> Yes
[13:49] <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
[13:50] <ObrienDave> Look right?
[13:52] <ggabkdlly> it depends, do you have a folder with your username in . or are you in the folder of your username now ?
[13:53] <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
[13:56] <ObrienDave> Trying rsync -rn . /home
[13:56] <ggabkdlly> you might have to run chown with appropriate options after copying
[13:57] <ObrienDave> Ok
[13:58] <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
[14:00] <ObrienDave> Going for it. Thanks
[14:02] <simpleuser> I replace xfwm by i3. Now I want to use bluetooth but I don’t know how.
[14:03] <simpleuser> replaced*
[14:11] <brainwash> simpleuser: so you aren't using the Xfce desktop anymore?
[14:12] <simpleuser> Nope, I’m using i3 when it is asked by lightdm (instead of Xubuntu session)
[14:12] <simpleuser> brainwash: ^
[14:12] <brainwash> well, in this case you should ask your question in #ubuntu :)
[14:13] <simpleuser> Ok :)
[14:25] <ObrienDave> Gridcube working on restoring from yesterday's backup
[14:25] <ObrienDave> Appreciate your help

[18:49] <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....)
[19:01] <deshipu> delt: I would look for it at launchpad and see the status
[19:02] <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.
[19:10] <EDinNY> cant seem to get Emacs bindings to work. I configured it, it worked, then, after reboot it is broken
[19:13] <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?
[19:14] <David-A> EDinNY: sorry, I was talking about the editor itself. you mean key bindings in the desktop i guess
[19:14] <EDinNY> Yes
[19:15] <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?
[19:17] <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
[19:19] <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. :(
[19:20] <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.
[19:22] <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?
[19:23] <knome> derek-g, potentially; i don't know
[19:23] <derek-g> knome, what do u use?
[19:24] <knome> derek-g, firefox, but even if i used chromium, i'd probably be fine with the version in the repository
[19:27] <baizon> derek-g: https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-beta
[19:27] <baizon> there you have 37
[19:28] <derek-g> baizon, ahh nice. thank you.
[19:31] <knome> as always, you use PPA's at your own discretion and risk.
[19:32] <genii> May kill your cat and burn the house down, etc etc
[20:17] <absk007___> is there qalculate-gtk for xubuntu?
[20:24] <baizon> absk007___: yes?
[20:24] <David-A> absk007___: yes, it is the same for xubuntu as for ubuntu
[20:25] <absk007___> baizon, David-A, it's not available in apt-cache search
[20:26] <baizon> absk007___: yes it is
[20:26] <baizon> !info qalculate-gtk
[20:27] <absk007___> baizon, David-A, sorry! it's available. I searched for `apt-cache search qalculate`
[20:27] <David-A> absk007___: isn't apt-cache for the cache only, e.g packages you have installed before
[20:27] <absk007___> David-A, apt-cache is the apt index that lists pkgs after apt-update
[20:27] <absk007___> isn't it?
[20:29] <baizon> absk007___: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/wheezy/sect.apt-cache.html
[20:33] <absk007___> baizon, that's what i wrote above. Anyways, thanks.
[20:50] <wilsonjl3> Hedgemage / Hedgework, are you here?
[20:58] <wilsonjl3> anyone know if i can encrypt my harddrive after i'v installed xubuntu or if i need to encrypt when i first install it
[21:06] <absk007___> wilsonjl3, i suppose LVM works before creating the partitions
[21:07] <wilsonjl3> okay
[21:08] <wilsonjl3> what is it?
[21:10] <absk007___> !info LVM
[21:11] <wilsonjl3> if i hit run lvm what happens??
[21:12] <absk007___> !wiki LVM
[21:12] <Kagee> wilsonjl3: it is a LOT easier to do it during the installation.
[21:13] <wilsonjl3> meh, i dont need t that bad
[21:13] <absk007___> Kagee, is there any alternative to trucrypt?
[21:14] <absk007___> that might help wilsonjl3
[21:16] <Kagee> absk007___: the default install uses dm-crypt/LUKS
[21:17] <Kagee> wilsonj13 also appears to have left.
[21:23] <absk007___> how to use the ubottu bot?
[21:25] <Unit193> !bot | absk007___
