[00:00] uh...i cant see my mouse anymore [00:00] cursor i mean [00:00] oh its back [00:00] this comp is buggy :P [00:01] there is a ppa-purge command you'll have to install [00:04] i got it :) thanks though, Dave [00:05] not a problem wilsonjl3 [00:05] i ggotta sleep now though, work in the morning, thanks again :P and thank you too, trevjburns [00:05] have good evening all [00:06] c ya [00:41] 'ello [00:43] jesse__, greetings and welcome [03:35] Hello all! [03:35] I'm currently installin xububuntu 14 for the first time [03:36] 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] bye! [05:03] hi, I'd like some help fixing my clock. It always stays 5 hours ahead. [05:04] I run this but to no avail: sudo ntpdate -u us.pool.ntp.org [05:06] hang on [05:07] run time-admin, set your time zone and sync with internet servers [05:08] you might have to install ntp support [05:08] 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] maybe your BIOS clock is off by 5 hours [05:10] UEFI, whatever [05:10] i am on relatively old laptop so i don't have any option in bios. [05:11] xubuntu197: 1. Did you logout and back in? 2. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [05:11] you always have the option to set system time in BIOS. been like that for 30 years [05:11] yes agree, but this compaq n410c laptop doesn't seem to have that option [05:13] is there any file i could check to set the time in CST? [05:13] option #2 ^^^ [05:14] the time-admin does not show time zone, it shows Country/city. [05:14] sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata [05:15] dpkg shows correct time in terminal [05:15] but i still see the clock 5 hours ahead [05:16] where do you live? [05:17] 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] that might do it [05:18] which one should I uninstall? [05:19] couldn't tell you, maybe the one that doesn't work? [05:19] hmm, try uninstalling the one that does work [05:31] here are manuals; http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults/?sp4ts.oid=316652 [05:34] 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] that would make sense === trevjburns is now known as trev`zZzZzZz [08:21] 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] Hello! [08:35] Is there someone here? === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [10:33] 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] svetlana: well install then openjdk [10:44] why do I need it? [10:59] svetlana, just out of curiosity, what OS are you running? [11:02] Xubuntu at the moment [12:04] oh great, i can't login normally. using guest account. grrrrrr [12:10] ObrienDave: Just a guess, did you change your keyboard layout ? [12:11] naw, when i enter password it loops back to logon screen [12:11] brb [12:14] aggravating [12:14] ObrienDave: Can you log in using virtual terminals ? ( For example Ctrl-Alt-F1 ) [12:14] from where? [12:16] ObrienDave: Do you know what I mean by Ctrl-Alt-F1 ? [12:22] yea, i can get in by ctrl-alt-f1 [12:22] when i try to start hexchat i get GTK error can't start display. or something like that [12:24] ObrienDave: You probably have already tried rebooting ? [12:24] several times, yes [12:24] same loop back to logon [12:25] ObrienDave: My guess would be that you could find a clue in the logs. [12:25] i can't get into anything under the guest account. afaik [12:26] sudo -i does not let me into the file system [12:26] 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] ObrienDave: Do you have any experiance with the command line ? [12:27] not too much under Xubuntu. i can screw it up pretty easily LOL [12:29] ObrienDave: Do you know basic commands like ls and cd ? [12:30] yes [12:30] cat [12:32] ObrienDave: I think the logs are stored in /var/log/ [12:33] ObrienDave: You will probably be interested in logs that Xorg is generating. But I am no expert. [12:37] trying to get android irc client going [12:45] ok, brb [12:51] Ok. Did sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop. No joy [12:53] ObrienDave: tried to start the guest session? [12:54] Guest works [12:55] delete your ~/.Xauthority and try to login again [12:55] K [12:57] if this does not help, you should take a look at /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log [12:58] Ls in home directory shows nothing [12:58] ls -a [12:58] . .. [12:58] to display hidden files like .Xauthority [12:59] Nothing [13:00] and ls -la ? [13:00] to get a list view [13:00] Total 8 [13:01] the important part is to run "rm ~/.Xauthority" [13:02] Drwxr-rx-x 2 root root 4096 aug q 04:55 . [13:03] pasting random lines isn't really helpful :/ [13:03] No such file [13:03] Home partition seems gone [13:04] magically? [13:04] Home is in root. Nothing in home [13:05] /home/ ? [13:06] No such file or directory [13:06] and the output of "mount"? is /home mounted? [13:07] Don't think so [13:08] that's odd [13:08] Yes. /dev/sda6 is already mounted on /home [13:09] ObrienDave, type cd and press enter [13:09] that should send you directly to ~/ [13:09] No at root [13:10] Wait [13:10] yes at root [13:10] ~/ for root is /root/ [13:10] Have 2 sda6 [13:10] but you aint root [13:10] if you are you did something wrong [13:11] /mnt/timeshift and /home [13:12] Am root now. Sudo -s [13:13] Same thing. Nothing in home directory [13:15] Can I unmount timeshift? [13:17] Umount /mnt/timeshift worked. Still nothing in /home [13:19] ObrienDave, what is fstab saying about your home mountpoint? [13:19] are you sure your home is not encrypted? [13:20] Yes am sure [13:20] Where is fstab? [13:20] /etc/fstab [13:22] Fstab shows 2 sda6 /home and /mnt/timeshift [13:23] Oh no. Have idea. Sec [13:25] I have nothing in either /home i [13:25] O [13:27] 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] Not getting what I did. Grrrrr [13:29] Thinking it got confused about where home was [13:29] Brb [13:32] Back [13:34] I have recent backup of home. Could I copy that? [13:38] 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] ObrienDave: I don't know how the encrytion works. [13:40] 99% sure. Could I just copy backup to /home? [13:40] ObrienDave: for all that I know, it could store the data somewhere else and mount it at login. [13:40] No encryption. Rsych [13:40] So reinstall is best? [13:41] Did you opt for any encryption when you installed ? [13:42] No. Never. Learned that the hard way. Lol [13:43] 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] Nothing is encrypted [13:43] OK [13:44] Want to try a straight copy from backup. Am in backup golder now [13:44] Folder [13:45] Give me a command to /home [13:45] it kind of depends on how you did your backup [13:46] Rsych [13:46] do you mean rsync ? [13:46] Straight file backup [13:46] Yes [13:49] 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] rsync -r . /home [13:50] Look right? [13:52] it depends, do you have a folder with your username in . or are you in the folder of your username now ? [13:53] I have a user name folder that I want to send [13:53] Now just above that name [13:53] also, you have to be carefull with rsync, because a trailing / is meaningfull, check the man page. [13:53] Reading [13:56] Trying rsync -rn . /home [13:56] you might have to run chown with appropriate options after copying [13:57] Ok [13:58] Running rsync -rvn . /home looking good so far [13:58] I am going offline soon. [13:58] User name at front of path [13:58] K. Thank you [14:00] Going for it. Thanks [14:02] I replace xfwm by i3. Now I want to use bluetooth but I don’t know how. [14:03] replaced* === trev`zZzZzZz is now known as trevjburns [14:11] simpleuser: so you aren't using the Xfce desktop anymore? [14:12] Nope, I’m using i3 when it is asked by lightdm (instead of Xubuntu session) [14:12] brainwash: ^ [14:12] well, in this case you should ask your question in #ubuntu :) [14:13] Ok :) [14:25] Gridcube working on restoring from yesterday's backup [14:25] Appreciate your help [15:57] hello. When i use "nemo ./" . xubuntu show me warning "Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-...: Connection refused". I google for this error, but can't resolve it. Anyone had met with this situation? [16:37] hello [16:38] menulibre is having a problem to open, in 14.04 [16:38] ERROR:/build/buildd/gnome-menus-3.10.1/./libmenu/gmenu-tree.c:4022:preprocess_layout_info: assertion failed: (!directory->preprocessed) [16:38] Aborted (core dumped) [16:51] Howdy All. [17:38] hello Xubies [17:45] I'm so full of xubishness today [17:46] :) [18:49] Hello [18:49] i noticed 14.04.1 is out. Did that laptop bug ever get fixed finally? [18:49] (the bug where closing the laptop leaves the screen in an unusable state) [18:49] is it fixed? (it's pretty serious....) [19:01] delt: I would look for it at launchpad and see the status [19:02] 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] cant seem to get Emacs bindings to work. I configured it, it worked, then, after reboot it is broken [19:13] asked in #emacs yet? [19:13] EDinNY: did you edit an emacs config file? try start with the option --no-init-file [19:13] Settings Editor->xfce4->xsettings->KeyThemName emacs [19:13] David-A: is this where it goes? [19:14] EDinNY: sorry, I was talking about the editor itself. you mean key bindings in the desktop i guess [19:14] Yes [19:15] ...or I would have gone to #emacs [19:15] 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] why is my chromium of version 34? while version 37 was already released.... Why is the delay? [19:17] derek-g, you should be in touch with the chromium package maintainer, or even volunteer to help with it [19:19] derek-g, newer versions do not necessarily land in ubuntu releases at all [19:19] knome, i'm not good at packaging. :( [19:20] I found that the AMD site has better drivers, but you need to compile them [19:20] ...for nvidea [19:20] EDinNY, there's no way you can use AMD drivers with an nvidia card. [19:22] sorry. Mixed it up with ATI vid card [19:22] knome, what would I do if I need the latest version? [19:22] knome, is there a ppa? [19:23] derek-g, potentially; i don't know [19:23] knome, what do u use? [19:24] derek-g, firefox, but even if i used chromium, i'd probably be fine with the version in the repository [19:27] derek-g: https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-beta [19:27] there you have 37 [19:28] baizon, ahh nice. thank you. [19:31] as always, you use PPA's at your own discretion and risk. [19:32] May kill your cat and burn the house down, etc etc [20:17] is there qalculate-gtk for xubuntu? [20:24] absk007___: yes? [20:24] absk007___: yes, it is the same for xubuntu as for ubuntu [20:25] baizon, David-A, it's not available in apt-cache search [20:26] absk007___: yes it is [20:26] !info qalculate-gtk [20:26] qalculate-gtk (source: qalculate-gtk): Powerful and easy to use desktop calculator - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.7-5ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 1103 kB, installed size 2941 kB [20:27] baizon, David-A, sorry! it's available. I searched for `apt-cache search qalculate` [20:27] absk007___: isn't apt-cache for the cache only, e.g packages you have installed before [20:27] David-A, apt-cache is the apt index that lists pkgs after apt-update [20:27] isn't it? === Linuxer is now known as Guest65727 [20:29] absk007___: http://debian-handbook.info/browse/wheezy/sect.apt-cache.html [20:33] baizon, that's what i wrote above. Anyways, thanks. [20:50] Hedgemage / Hedgework, are you here? [20:58] 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] wilsonjl3, i suppose LVM works before creating the partitions [21:07] okay [21:08] what is it? [21:10] !info LVM [21:10] Package LVM does not exist in trusty [21:11] if i hit run lvm what happens?? [21:12] !wiki LVM [21:12] wilsonjl3: it is a LOT easier to do it during the installation. [21:13] meh, i dont need t that bad [21:13] Kagee, is there any alternative to trucrypt? [21:14] that might help wilsonjl3 [21:16] absk007___: the default install uses dm-crypt/LUKS [21:17] wilsonj13 also appears to have left. [21:23] how to use the ubottu bot? [21:25] !bot | absk007___ [21:25] absk007___: Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | Make a clone of me: /msg ubottu botclone [22:16] yesssss "Bug fixes for the first point release" -- "Black screen after wakeup from suspending by closing the laptop lid.
