| ZeroSoul | like i cant close out of the firefox window im in right now | 01:38 |
| |zer0| | Im new myself so not sure if something you have installed may have corrupted omething, I had a similar issues in that I would login in and have no access to anything (no ile menu), found that previously I removed web browser and mail reader which seems to remove system files important to the function of xubunutu, thats why I asked if you removed anything using the software entre. | 01:41 |
| |zer0| | sorry bout my typing (new keyboard)!! | 01:42 |
| ZeroSoul | dont worry zer0 its weird to adjust to new boards. what did you get if you dont mind me asking? possibly the fact i recently updated to the new version of xubuntu fucked me over | 01:44 |

| ZeroSoul | zer0: what keyboard did you get? | 01:47 |
| |zer0| | Rapoo 9060 wireless keyboard/mouse | 01:47 |
| |zer0| | feels a lot like a laptop keyboard. | 01:48 |
| ZeroSoul | gross | 01:49 |
| ZeroSoul | i got a corsair raptor k50 (dontm ake fun of the rubber domes) about 6 months ago. thing is massive but i really like it | 01:50 |
| ZeroSoul | i want to get an ibm model m at somepoint | 01:50 |
| |zer0| | <ZeroSoul> that thing is huge, looks like a control panel from a cold war era russian rocket ;P | 01:52 |
| |zer0| | #HELP# anybody gotten itunes 10 working through playonlinux on xubuntu 14.04? | 01:54 |
| ZeroSoul | zer0: while it is huge the 18 macros are a little unnessecary but fun | 01:57 |
| |zer0| | <ZeroSoul> Looks like you like the old school peripherals :) suppose they are tough and you are recycling :) | 01:58 |
| ZeroSoul | zer0: i only use old keyboards. old mice kinda suck because while technology in mice have gone a long ways the tech for keyboards is pretty much the same. and i like the feel and ruggedness of the buckling springs on a model m | 01:59 |
| xubuntu758 | I haven't been able to get packages all day | 02:07 |
| xubuntu758 | is there some sort of server problem? | 02:07 |

| GeekDude | New install of 14.04, rand all 300mb of software updates. I've installed x11vnc and openssh. I'm connected over ssh, trying to start x11vnc. The server seems to start alright, but every time a client tries to connect it just fails | 02:48 |
| GeekDude | it closes the socket immediately | 02:49 |
| holstein | GeekDude: trying to start the server like that can be challenging.. i start it, but it takes a few flags to start over ssh.. how are you starting? | 02:58 |
| GeekDude | well, I was trying to start it over ssh "x11vnc -display :0" | 02:59 |
| GeekDude | however, now I'm starting it on the machine itself, and it's still killing connections instantly | 02:59 |
| holstein | GeekDude: sure. im saying, i do start over ssh, but it takes more than that | 02:59 |
| GeekDude | it sees the connections in the log at least | 02:59 |
| holstein | GeekDude: what is your command? is that all? | 02:59 |
| GeekDude | ... yes? | 02:59 |
| GeekDude | is that bad | 02:59 |
| GeekDude | ? | 02:59 |
| holstein | GeekDude: its not what i use.. i have more.. i'll look at my command and share.. | 03:00 |
| holstein | GeekDude: otherwise, test locally, if you have access to the machine | 03:00 |
| GeekDude | I am sitting next to it | 03:00 |
| GeekDude | so, yes | 03:00 |
| holstein | GeekDude: ok.. so log in, locally, start the vnc servrer, and run the client locally, on the same machine, andsee if you connect.. if you dont, then you wont be able to connect over a network | 03:01 |
| GeekDude | I'll need a vnc client | 03:02 |
| GeekDude | Any suggestions? I don't generally do vnc from linux | 03:02 |

| GeekDude | holstein: same result | 03:08 |
| GeekDude | connection closes immediately | 03:09 |
| holstein | GeekDude: i suggest trying a simpler vnc server.. vino, or whatever.. even team viewer. | 03:11 |
| GeekDude | I was going to use vino, but the whole security permissions update really annoys me | 03:12 |
| holstein | GeekDude: ? | 03:13 |
| holstein | GeekDude: vnc is a security risk | 03:13 |
| holstein | GeekDude: you can learn about vnc over ssh or whatever. i suggest you just get *something* working, locally, and test.. and play around, and learn | 03:13 |
| GeekDude | https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987981 | 03:13 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.redhat.com bug 987981 in vino "Vino authentication issue / not matching security types / No security type suitable for RFB 3.3 Supported / Authentication mechanism requested cannot be provided by the computer" [Urgent,New] | 03:13 |
| GeekDude | I'm talking about this ^ | 03:13 |
| GeekDude | vino switched to a relatively unused authentication protocol, and it's annoying to work around | 03:14 |
| holstein | GeekDude: im talking about, *dont* trust vnc in general | 03:15 |
| GeekDude | I know, I do vnc over ssh with my working boxes constantly | 03:15 |
| holstein | GeekDude: set vino up on the local machine, and see if you can connect.. then, see if you can connect on your lan.. then, go from there | 03:15 |
| GeekDude | holstein: vino works | 03:31 |
| holstein | GeekDude: personally, i think you are just not using enough arguments for vnc, if you prefer that.. | 03:34 |
| GeekDude | I think vino is great, but I've had good experiences with x11vnc too. Although, those were all with xvfb as the x server, and no desktop environment | 03:35 |
| |zer0| | Has anybody here used Plex over xubuntu? | 04:34 |

| phunyguy | oh so you mean using Plex on Xubuntu? | 05:21 |

| phunyguy | sorry, I have never used Plex myself. Hopefully someone else knows. | 05:22 |

| onr | 2 core cpu and 4 gigs of mem | 08:40 |
| onr | hmm, he just calmed down. still running silently | 08:41 |
| brainwash | did you open a directory with a large amount of pictures or big video files? tumbler is know to get stuck sometimes when creating those preview pictures | 08:41 |

| xubuntu233 | lol | 09:39 |
| ochosi | xubuntu233: i presume you tried to open "alsamixer" from the terminal and reduce the input volume? | 09:39 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu233, 1. try a different usb port | 09:39 |
| xubuntu233 | tried alsamixer just makes it more quiet. ill try another usb now | 09:39 |
| ochosi | xubuntu233: did you also change the "mic boost" in alsamixer? | 09:41 |
| ochosi | at least i have the input volume separated from what i assume is a software amp | 09:42 |
| xubuntu233 | doesnt have a mic boost options. might be cause its usb headset or something. I've fixed it... put it in a case usb instead of mobo one and it worked! thanks all. :D!!! | 09:42 |

| asuslaptop | hi | 11:13 |
| asuslaptop | can we remove the non-free firmware from kernel in xubuntu ? | 11:13 |
| brainwash | asuslaptop: if you don't need any of the non-free firmware, then feel free to uninstall the package | 11:50 |
| asuslaptop | brainwash: but the wiki says it does not come with non-free firmware pre-installed is it true ? | 11:51 |
| brainwash | should be true | 11:51 |
| asuslaptop | brainwash: but the kernel still has non-free blobs even if I remove the non-free stuff ? | 11:51 |
| brainwash | like? | 11:52 |
| asuslaptop | like brainwash we have trisquel it does not have any non-free blob in the kernel .. so when i use it with my laptop ( netbook | 11:52 |
| asuslaptop | it don't boot well as graphics is not support even on debian non-free firmware is required to be installed | 11:53 |
| asuslaptop | but it works fine on Xubuntu | 11:53 |
| asuslaptop | i think it is not true that Xubuntu does not come pre-installed with non-free firmware | 11:53 |
| asuslaptop | also vrms program does not show it at all but it shows in debian | 11:53 |
| brainwash | which graphics card? | 11:54 |
| brainwash | (x)ubuntu is able to install the closed source driver if supported and selected by the user | 11:56 |
| asuslaptop | brainwash: amd c-60 apu | 11:56 |

| clark | hi all, are there any "fast search" utilities available for xubuntu/linux? | 11:58 |
| brainwash | clark: xubuntu ships with "catfish" | 11:58 |
| brainwash | "Catfish is a handy file searching tool for Linux and UNIX. The interface is intentionally lightweight and simple, using only Gtk+3. You can configure it to your needs by using several command line options." | 11:59 |
| clark | I mean a search functionality that tag and save all files in a database for fast access, like spotlight on OSX if you are familiar with that ? | 11:59 |
| Floriel | hi | 12:00 |
| clark | brainwash, is it not very slow? and can you tag stuff ? | 12:00 |

| Floriel | is there a good reason for that? | 12:02 |
| clark | brainwash, I will take a look, thnaks | 12:03 |

| |zer0| | Need help! | 12:05 |
| Floriel | so 14.04 is currently marked as a developer release? | 12:06 |
| bluesabre | <|zer0|>: I have plex configured on my xubuntu box | 12:06 |
| brainwash | Floriel: this is the most asked question lately | 12:06 |
| brainwash | Floriel: no | 12:06 |
| Floriel | any clues/fixes? | 12:06 |
| brainwash | you can pass the -d parameter to force the upgrade | 12:07 |
| clark | bluesabre, yes, maybe. I will try it out | 12:07 |
| Floriel | will i have to set det upgrade settings back to LST only after the upgrade, or is it forced only once? | 12:08 |
| brainwash | Floriel: more users are confused by the missing upgrade offer -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/502503/why-does-do-release-upgrade-on-12-04-system-not-find-14-04-1-upgrade | 12:08 |
| Floriel | thx | 12:09 |
| brainwash | you can make sure afterwards that it's still set to LTS | 12:09 |
| asuslaptop | brainwash: is it possible to edit the source.list at the time of installation to ensure that only packages from main repos are installed ? | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | asuslaptop, by default that is the setting | 12:12 |
| Floriel | just to make sure: there's no known reason for 14.04 not showing up? | 12:12 |
| asuslaptop | cfhowlett: but restriced is supported by default | 12:13 |
| asuslaptop | why ? | 12:13 |
| asuslaptop | for drivers ? | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | Floriel, it's a but. do-release-upgrade -p is the workaround | 12:13 |
| Floriel | thx | 12:13 |
| cfhowlett | asuslaptop, ? available yes. enabled, no. not without explicit user action | 12:14 |

| xubuntu705 | Hello, is it normal, that I get unsupported xfce packages with ubuntu-support on 12.04? | 14:09 |
| xubuntu705 | I thought it should be supported 3 years. | 14:10 |
| xubuntu705 | Any idea? | 14:41 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: the repos for 12.04 are still up | 14:54 |
| holstein | !12.04 | 14:54 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Xubuntu. Download at http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu Release notes at http://xubuntu.org/news/12-04-release/ | 14:54 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: the ubuntu repos will be up for 5 years, so the "core" ubuntu repo packages will be available and maintained for 5 years.. xubuntu specific issues addressed for 3 | 14:55 |
| xubuntu705 | Why does ubuntu-support-status return them as unsupported? | 15:00 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: them? what are you using to report what? | 15:00 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: basically, the xubuntu team/community has promised to support the xubuntu specific packages for 3 years | 15:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: the ubuntu repos are "hot" for 5 years, and ubuntu has promised 5 years | 15:01 |
| xubuntu705 | This packagege are listed as unsupported. http://codepad.org/RbgAliQk | 15:02 |
| xubuntu705 | Nicht unterstützt: -> not supported: | 15:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: what is "reporting" those as unsupported? | 15:02 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: the xubuntu team has promised support.. are you using any ppas? | 15:03 |
| xubuntu705 | ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported | 15:03 |
| holstein | i mean, you are either getting updates, or not.. if you get an update, then thats support | 15:03 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: if you are using some reporting tool, you can file a bug against that, if you feel it is reporting incorrectly | 15:03 |
| holstein | !bug | 15:03 |
| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 15:03 |
| xubuntu705 | Sure but it would be nice to know, if soemone has a look at it for security holes on this packages. | 15:04 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: well, you know, since the team has promised.. but, what you think would be nice, is if whatever tool you are using would report as you want.. and filing a bug would be the way to start.. are you using any ppas? | 15:05 |
| xubuntu705 | No | 15:06 |
| xubuntu705 | No ppas. | 15:06 |
| xubuntu705 | Install is based on the install from the 12.04 media and apt-get updates. | 15:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: i would ask in main #ubuntu about that tool, and see if there are any bugs filed against it.. and see if that is how you are intended to check the status | 15:07 |
| xubuntu705 | okay | 15:07 |
| xubuntu705 | thanks so far | 15:07 |
| holstein | basically, ubuntu (and flavors) are not rolling releases. the versions of most everything, except for a few packages now-a-days such as web browsers, are not updated to newer versions, but basically "frozen" in time | 15:10 |
| holstein | when security patches are released, volunteers would apply them.. volunteers or paid maintainers | 15:10 |
| xubuntu705 | I'm only looking for security patches and not new versions. | 15:11 |
| holstein | AFAIK, there is no special way to run a command that confirms this activity... the volunteers and maintainers just volunteer and maintain. im not sure that there is a system where you can run a command to see when that maintenance ends, since its just well documented | 15:11 |
| holstein | xubuntu705: even if you are looking for security patches, they would be applied by volunteers and maintainers.. you can file a bug against the package, and if the patches physically cannot be applied, which could be plausible, you could file a backport bug to try and get a newer version backported | 15:12 |
| xubuntu705 | Okay | 15:13 |

| holstein | xubuntu253: so, as i suggest, please test the microphone in a situation other than with skype.. see that the microphone actually works with the system.. use pavucontrol to route to something like audacity or another supported, in repo application | 15:35 |
| xubuntu253 | oki ill try | 15:36 |
| xubuntu253 | :D | 15:36 |
| xubuntu705 | Is the skype version from the repo? | 15:43 |
| xubuntu253 | the skype version is from the website of skype i took the ubuntu 10. something version | 15:45 |
| xubuntu705 | Take the one from the repo | 15:45 |
| xubuntu705 | The version from MS needs a fix | 15:46 |
| xubuntu253 | the repo? | 15:46 |
| xubuntu253 | where exactly? | 15:46 |
| xubuntu705 | try this to start skype; env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype | 15:47 |
| xubuntu253 | ok... | 15:48 |
| xubuntu253 | ù | 15:48 |
| xubuntu253 | then??? | 15:48 |
| xubuntu705 | Works the micro? | 15:48 |
| xubuntu253 | no still | 15:50 |
| xubuntu253 | :/ | 15:50 |
| xubuntu705 | Okay that did the job for me. | 15:51 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: can your record the audio with audacity? or use the mic with any other application? | 15:51 |
| xubuntu253 | ill try audiacity now | 15:51 |
| xubuntu253 | no doesnt record O_O | 15:55 |
| xubuntu253 | there are MANY MANY michropones none works | 15:55 |
| xubuntu253 | should I install a app? | 15:56 |
| xubuntu253 | or a driver? | 15:56 |
| xubuntu253 | my xubuntu is totally fresh I only installed some multimedial supports from the official website | 15:57 |
| xubuntu253 | and skype and audiacity | 15:57 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu253, *some* multimedia? | 15:57 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu253, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras for the most comprehensive codec support. | 15:58 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu253, and get your skype from the ubuntu software center | 15:59 |
| xubuntu253 | xubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. | 16:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: so, i suggest you work with the microphone support independent of the skype software.. since, fixing the mic support will likely just make skype work as expected | 16:04 |
| xubuntu253 | here isn’t a software package called “skype” in your current software sources. | 16:04 |
| xubuntu253 | thats what it sayd D: | 16:05 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: if you cannot use the mic in audacity, skype is not the problem | 16:05 |
| xubuntu253 | i agree holstein | 16:05 |
| xubuntu253 | but how do i fix the michrophone | 16:05 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: so, stop troubleshooting skype, and go back to the mic support.. i would open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and apply updates.. reboot and test the mic | 16:06 |
| xubuntu253 | can anyone control my pc from remote | 16:06 |
| xubuntu253 | ? | 16:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: no. this is not that kind of support.. the person responsible for that level of support is the hardware vendor. and they likely dont officially support linux | 16:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: please look for, and apply updates.. then, reboot and test.. then, use.. | 16:06 |
| holstein | !audio | xubuntu253 | 16:06 |
| ubottu | xubuntu253: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:06 |
| xubuntu253 | its downloading alot of stuff :D | 16:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: no.. "it" is doing the update that you commanded | 16:08 |
| xubuntu253 | thats cool | 16:08 |
| xubuntu253 | thank u! | 16:08 |
| * cfhowlett suspects that this is a long-deferred update/upgrade | 16:09 | |
| holstein | xubuntu253: the update can "fix" the mic.. but, actually, nothing is broken, so it can be challenging.. it can be as simple as unmuting something in alsamixer in the terminal.. or, as complex as, the hardware doesnt support alsa/linux | 16:10 |
| xubuntu253 | Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto Generazione albero delle dipendenze Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto Calcolo dell'aggiornamento... Eseguito 0 aggiornati, 0 installati, 0 da rimuovere e 0 non aggiornati. | 16:10 |
| holstein | i usually start troubleshooting all of this prior to installationfrom a live CD... but, you can refer to the link i gave about troubleshooting.. i would open a terminal and run alsamixer after updating.. and make sure you try all options there, trusting no labels | 16:11 |
| holstein | i would have audacity open, recording, and tweak settings in alsamixer and pavucontrol til the mic works | 16:12 |
| xubuntu253 | its starting to work | 16:18 |
| xubuntu253 | its so loud ahaha | 16:18 |
| xubuntu253 | and now i cant install skype wtf | 16:19 |
| xubuntu253 | there is any script i can write to install skype? | 16:20 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: "i cant install skype" is not a question | 16:20 |
| holstein | !skype | 16:20 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 16:20 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: should be as simple as locating it in the package manager of your choice | 16:20 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu253, skype wont' install from ubuntu software center? | 16:22 |
| xubuntu253 | nope | 16:23 |
| xubuntu253 | D: | 16:23 |
| xubuntu253 | ill paste here the log | 16:24 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: you likely still have apt-get running | 16:24 |
| holstein | xubuntu253: please close other package managers, and try installing skype as instructed above.. as you did before. the issue you were having had nothing to do with skype anyway | 16:24 |
| xubuntu253 | now its working :D | 16:25 |
| xubuntu253 | thanks a lot guysss finally | 16:27 |
| xubuntu253 | im working on this pc since 4 days LOL | 16:27 |
| xubuntu697 | everytime i turn on the pc it asks me a password...how can i remove it? | 16:49 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu697, bad idea to disable your password ... | 16:49 |
| xubuntu697 | i mean | 16:50 |
| xubuntu697 | remove it when I turn on the pc in order that I have not to insert it at every turn on of the pc | 16:50 |
| xubuntu697 | oh and on skype... on the michrophone I have "Pulse audio server (local)" but I can't choose anything else why? :( | 16:52 |
| xubuntu697 | pulse audio server (local) doesnt work D: | 16:53 |

| quantibility | sure i can post the bug all day, but that isn't any fun | 17:15 |
| quantibility | i swear this isn't a support channel, its a live redirecting | 17:16 |
| quantibility | I need to talk to developers about bugs cause well | 17:16 |
| quantibility | its more fun to talk and process the bug cause i remember how to cause them | 17:17 |
| quantibility | i know specifics not joe shmoo knowledge | 17:17 |
| bluesabre | one of the developers here, about to head out | 17:17 |
| quantibility | dang it | 17:17 |
| quantibility | alright | 17:17 |
| quantibility | thank you | 17:17 |
| bluesabre | for bug fixes, we prefer to have bug reports | 17:18 |
| xangua | #ubuntu-dev | 17:18 |
| quantibility | woot thanks xangua | 17:18 |
| bluesabre | because you can tell us your issues, and then we'd end up creating a bug report for it anyway | 17:18 |
| quantibility | #ubuntu-dev | 17:18 |
| bluesabre | we have a small team | 17:18 |
| quantibility | blue | 17:18 |
| quantibility | im a good bug detector | 17:18 |
| bluesabre | and its the weekend, so there's not quite the same amount of support available | 17:18 |
| quantibility | tis not support i wanna help.. im good at finding bugs all the time | 17:19 |
| quantibility | i find tons in windows but non with support like this | 17:19 |
| quantibility | besides i got a letter of copywrite infringment cause i can't afford windows | 17:19 |
| quantibility | and besides fuck man debian is better and Xubuntu is the shiat | 17:19 |
| xangua | !language | quantibility | 17:20 |
| ubottu | quantibility: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 17:20 |
| quantibility | sorry | 17:20 |
| cfhowlett | quantibility, trolling and profanity? again? you were warned about this *and kicked* just a couple days ago. stop it | 17:20 |
| quantibility | ive been on irc since 11 and im now 35 no joke | 17:20 |
| bluesabre | As you find bugs, please file a bug report. As listed above, ubuntu-bug makes it easy to report, and if you just report what you are experiencing, developers can fix the bug, or request more information as needed | 17:20 |
| bluesabre | anyway, gotta run now, bbl | 17:20 |
| quantibility | i do blue | 17:21 |
| quantibility | i do | 17:21 |
| quantibility | every itme | 17:21 |
| quantibility | #ubuntu-dev is dead? | 17:22 |
| quantibility | small room lol | 17:22 |
| quantibility | cfhowlett, please don't patronize me, i don't need to be reminded with fancy bot output and reminders of reminders, as i said ive known about IRC for years and know how to screw everything up. remember irc was MUCH bigger in the past before facebook and AOL i know RULES and regulations and all the little ways to hack puters over this network.. of course that knowledge is very old and haven't used them in centuries . but i don | 17:26 |
| quantibility | 't need grammatic and reminders on how to be civilized on this channel or others becuase we both know that its dependent on the individual... if i make a mistake and swear (spelling correctly) or flood a channel let the bots do their job don't remind me for anything.. thank you. | 17:26 |
| w1z | lol, i asked a question here yesterday, cfhowlett asked me if I rebooted or "shutdown" first. I have never in my life had a need to shutdown a linux box to fix a problem. | 17:28 |
| w1z | That's a windows troubleshooting step. | 17:28 |
| quantibility | wlz, i have to shut down most of the time comming out of "sleep" or "suspended" mode, any idea what the problem is, it causes errors most times | 17:29 |
| quantibility | my home folder is hashed | 17:30 |
| w1z | Your hard-drive is probably not waking up. | 17:30 |
| quantibility | ah | 17:30 |
| quantibility | so what im seeing is memory image? | 17:30 |
| quantibility | just in mem? | 17:30 |
| quantibility | i mean | 17:30 |
| quantibility | i come out of it | 17:30 |
| quantibility | log in and stuff | 17:31 |
| w1z | I have a crappy hard-drive right now, it never had a problem before, not too sure what happened. But everytime I perform sudo apt-get install (any package) it gives me an input output error. | 17:31 |
| quantibility | ouch | 17:31 |
| quantibility | im good on that | 17:31 |
| quantibility | old hardrive? | 17:31 |
| quantibility | hmm | 17:31 |
| quantibility | so ide? | 17:31 |
| w1z | I managed to get it working with sudo apt-get install -f (any package) but i rebooted and getting the same problem again. | 17:31 |
| w1z | It's a SATA drive and not sure whats going on with it, but no matter the O/S that is on it (i've had windows / osx / linux) it gives me this problem so it's probably about to die. | 17:32 |
| quantibility | ok | 17:32 |
| quantibility | i don't see -f in the man install? | 17:32 |
| quantibility | you mean -t? | 17:33 |
| w1z | it's there, -f Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place | 17:33 |
| quantibility | ah its a force | 17:34 |
| quantibility | further down the list lol | 17:34 |
| quantibility | then you need the other dependencies.. | 17:34 |
| quantibility | have you | 17:34 |
| w1z | sudo apt-get -f upgrade fixed it for me, now I still just get this error... | 17:34 |
| quantibility | apt-get update yet? | 17:34 |
| w1z | Yes, I have. It's probably the weirdest thing I have run into. | 17:35 |
| quantibility | yea interesting? currupt process file? | 17:36 |
| quantibility | im guessing what ever process apt-get uses for install is currupted? | 17:36 |
| w1z | this is the error i get.. | 17:36 |
| quantibility | do you mess with the script alot? | 17:36 |
| quantibility | cause the -f just skips over the error in the script | 17:37 |
| quantibility | moves on | 17:37 |
| quantibility | remove that | 17:37 |
| w1z | http://pastebin.com/vMyqMDVY | 17:37 |
| quantibility | yeah | 17:37 |
| w1z | quantibility, I get the same error without the -f | 17:37 |
| quantibility | yes but it moves on becuase of the -f | 17:37 |
| w1z | yeah | 17:38 |
| quantibility | it a sub process from what i see | 17:38 |
| quantibility | so | 17:38 |
| w1z | I actually got it working the other day with the -f, now it's doing the same thing. | 17:38 |
| w1z | but I can't even install anything from the software center, or anything like that. | 17:39 |
| quantibility | if there is one thing i noticed with xubuntu is that the code is adaptable to the user... | 17:39 |
| quantibility | so | 17:39 |
| quantibility | once you fix something it regenerates a error fix log, from what i am guessing | 17:39 |
| quantibility | but that may not be true | 17:40 |
| quantibility | anyhow | 17:40 |
| w1z | it's weird because -f actually worked at one point, and i had a great time with apt-get. lol | 17:41 |
| quantibility | wlz show the output without the force | 17:41 |
| w1z | k | 17:42 |
| w1z | http://pastebin.com/gq0BL02U | 17:43 |
| quantibility | thanks | 17:43 |
| quantibility | you have encryption? | 17:45 |
| quantibility | have you tried sudo? | 17:45 |
| quantibility | Wlz | 17:46 |
| quantibility | are you encrypted? | 17:46 |
| quantibility | sorry | 17:48 |
| quantibility | just realized you did | 17:48 |
| quantibility | try this | 17:49 |
| quantibility | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings try reinstalling those files, it should correct input output error because it would fix the needed package by reinstalling a clean one... | 17:50 |
| quantibility | wlz | 17:51 |
| quantibility | of course it could being you whole GUI back to stock but hey | 17:51 |
| quantibility | why not | 17:51 |
| w1z | back | 17:53 |
| w1z | quantibility, i'll try that right now | 17:54 |
| quantibility | afk | 17:58 |
| guihavas | hello there | 18:02 |
| guihavas | someone knows how to overpass the nvidia pilot settings on the sytem display settings ? | 18:03 |
| quantibility | guihavas, | 18:03 |
| quantibility | what are you saying? | 18:03 |
| quantibility | like | 18:03 |
| quantibility | no never mind, i don't know | 18:04 |
| quantibility | sorry | 18:04 |
| w1z | quantibility, even removing packages gives same error. i'll come back to it later. | 18:06 |
| quantibility | ouch | 18:06 |
| quantibility | that sucks bro | 18:06 |
| quantibility | boreet | 18:06 |
| quantibility | broette | 18:06 |
| quantibility | heh | 18:06 |
| quantibility | alright | 18:06 |
| guihavas | it's pretty simple : I installed the Nvidia pilot beacause I had trouble with default displaying | 18:06 |
| quantibility | ok | 18:07 |
| w1z | quantibility, i managed to get it to work one time, now i dunno. | 18:07 |
| guihavas | The point is system thinks one my display is the other.. | 18:07 |
| guihavas | Nvidia knows which is which so it's easier to configure | 18:07 |
| quantibility | btw wlz i thought about it and was thinking that it may be hard becuase the package you need to reinstall the same package is corrupted lol | 18:08 |
| quantibility | Guihavas, | 18:08 |
| w1z | quantibility, well i see the HD light is busy when i try it and gets stuck at 80% reading package database... | 18:09 |
| w1z | quantibility, and a few months before that installing osx86 on the HD i could hear it making a loud clanking noise and failing the installation, | 18:10 |
| w1z | but if i keep trying it will successfully do things. | 18:10 |
| quantibility | in order to mess with any propioritery drivers you always need to make sure your default settings are in order, for instance i learned that in order for me to use muiti screen AMD propriatery drivers i have to make sure my defaults are aware of all the inital settings | 18:10 |
| quantibility | wlz | 18:11 |
| quantibility | you may just need to take the whole file system and merge with root | 18:11 |
| quantibility | that is another way to install | 18:11 |
| quantibility | its dirty but you can clean up with working files and manually iniating all the setup files | 18:12 |
| w1z | I think i'll just get a new HD :P | 18:12 |
| guihavas | point is the system positively denies to recognize which display is which | 18:12 |
| quantibility | when i first started and had no clue with xubuntu ubuntu and solusOS | 18:12 |
| w1z | i'm pretty sure at this point it's the harddrive | 18:12 |
| quantibility | so i pretty much just dragged and merge to get some programs working again i was a baby and grew into this system | 18:13 |
| quantibility | almost 3 weeks running lol | 18:13 |
| quantibility | wlz i agree | 18:13 |
| quantibility | bad hard drive | 18:13 |
| quantibility | you can format with Fdisk type linux programs | 18:14 |
| quantibility | possibily save your HD | 18:14 |
| quantibility | i have 3 on this system | 18:14 |
| quantibility | lap top and two one IDE and other SATA on IDE/Sata USB link | 18:15 |
| w1z | yeah there are times also if i open up google chrome, it freeze's up. | 18:15 |
| w1z | on initial startup | 18:15 |
| quantibility | frankly i made sure i got debian based systems cause of all the hardware i wanna through at it | 18:16 |
| quantibility | throw | 18:16 |
| quantibility | GUI denies? | 18:17 |
| quantibility | how are you connecting you displays? | 18:17 |
| dfsdf33 | what is the latest Xubuntu live session password? | 18:18 |
| w1z | quantibility, ... | 18:18 |
| w1z | to answer your earlier question quantibility , http://xubuntu.org/contribute/ | 18:18 |
| w1z | join the mailing list, join dev chat etc. | 18:18 |
| quantibility | thanks | 18:24 |
| quantibility | anyone know sata? and is it possible to partition one sata to the size of a external sata and raid them? | 18:25 |
| quantibility | where can i go to learn the ubuntun - xununtu scripting language | 18:47 |
| quantibility | vim | 18:47 |
| quantibility | i know that | 18:47 |
| quantibility | but i need like some tutorials | 18:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | There are tons of scripting languages, the default is bash (Bourne Again Shell) | 18:48 |
| quantibility | yeah but i don't know the process of going of iniatiating | 18:49 |
| quantibility | documention is what im looking for then | 18:49 |
| quantibility | is what im really saying | 18:49 |
| quantibility | documention on bash besides the man command | 18:50 |

| Guido1 | hello, i have a computer with 1210 MHz and 1,7 GB RAM. I want to watch some movies with it from either an USB stick or local network.
