[01:52] <|zer0|> hey all, easy question for someone to answer however I bet most ppl will suggest differently!
[01:53] <|zer0|> Where to install applications on linux? what is the most appropriate location (folder)?
[01:53] <|zer0|> I use /opt at one stage but considering you have to be root I cant be botheres doing that all the time/
[01:56] <garandil> |zer0|, you can place it in /opt, but make sure you set the permissions correctly..
[01:56] <garandil> For small scripts and such I use /usr/local/bin
[01:56] <|zer0|> I am talking apps in general with mutiple folders
[01:57] <|zer0|> for instance lighttable code editor, I installed this in /opt that was my first install outside using ubunt software centre  :)
[02:41] <Buuntu_> my laptops feels really hot but neither lm-sensors or hddtemp show anything out of the ordinary, is there anything else worth checking?
[02:42] <Buuntu_> like imo way too hot
[02:49] <holstein> Buuntu_: not really.. i have found in the past that GPU driver was relevant for that..
[02:50] <Buuntu_> holstein, yeah that was my guess, but it's a laptop with an integrated intel GPU
[02:51] <holstein> Buuntu_: still, if its a windows sticker on the box, like i assume it is, you can have hardware that doesnt support linux well
[02:52] <holstein> i would physically clean the unit, and try running the bios and see if it gets hot there, or reports. then, try a supported operating system, and maybe a few live CD"s with different kernel versions on the hardware
[02:52] <Buuntu_> holstein, yeah :(, maybe it's redshift.  i found that f.lux (which is similar) was often taking up 100% cpu.  i can't even find redshift as a process but it might be taking up a lot of GPU power
[02:53] <Buuntu_> holstein, i never remember it getting this hot in Windows but i will check again later
[02:54] <Buuntu_> holstein, different kernels - interesting.  hadn't thought of that but good idea
[03:02] <holstein> Buuntu_: the live CD will also take redshift and whatever else from the equation
[03:03] <Buuntu_> holstein, true, i was hoping for a way to check my GPU temp but i think that's impossible considering it's not a dedicated one
[03:04] <holstein> Buuntu_: its always possible for the GPU vendor to provide you a tool for that in linux
[03:04] <holstein> Buuntu_: intel usually do pretty well supporting linux, however
[03:05] <Buuntu_> holstein, Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) is my graphics card
[03:05] <Buuntu_> which i think is just built in as part of the CPU
[03:06] <holstein> Buuntu_: sure, and they usually support linux well, but they didnt promise you linux support..
[03:06] <Buuntu_> right, i mean i'm not complaining too much
[03:12] <quantibility> is there anyone here that can direct me to a place where i can have someone help me set up my Apache2?
[03:12] <quantibility> cause im getting really fustrated over here
[03:12] <holstein> quantibility: you can try the server channel
[03:12] <holstein> !server
[03:12] <quantibility> thanks
[03:16] <holstein> !apache
[03:18] <Buuntu_> holstein, i found the package "intel-gpu-tools" which lets you monitor gpu usage.  usage is close to 0% so it might not be the gpu
[03:19] <quantibility> i should invest in a gun... hard to have simple questions answered.. blow my brians out waiting
[03:20] <holstein> quantibility: sure.. stop waiting.. try the documentation.. also, use the #xubuntu-offtopic to chat
[07:46] <|zer0|> hey all, got a question about changing folder permissions.
[07:47] <|zer0|> I copied a older into /opt it now has an X on it in file maager and I cannot chage permissions or delete the folder.
[07:47] <cfhowlett> |zer0|, try to change with sudo
[07:47] <|zer0|> I have tried sudo chmod -R /opt/xxxxxxx (x is folder) without any luck.
[07:48] <|zer0|> I also tried sudo chmod -R u+r (or user + read access) but that didnt do anythign either
[07:49] <|zer0|> I have another folder I copied into /opt without any issues.
[07:49] <cfhowlett> !permissions | |zer0|,
[07:49] <cfhowlett> |zer0|, ask in #ubuntu for more eyes/brains on this
 I will read this
I will go there if  I cant fnd what I need in link from <ubottu>
[08:27] <bCore> Hi, i need help, my xubuntu dont have sound!! :C
[08:28] <cfhowlett> !sound
[10:28] <ublinuxdeep> hello I am a newbie here

[11:13] <p78artist> thanks, i try that and come back :)
[13:05] <goneeuro> hi guys. Is there a reason you can think of why gparted keeps getting held back on an apt-get upgrade on 14.10?
[13:06] <cfhowlett> goneeuro, ask in #ubuntu+1 for 14.10 support
[13:07] <cfhowlett> goneeuro, and it MIGHT be held back cuz 14.10 is still only in - what? alpha 2?  not even BETA?
[13:08] <goneeuro> Yeah. thats what I was thinking. Seemed like everything else was updateing fine. So I thought maybe I had to change something.
[13:09] <cfhowlett> goneeuro, until release, all developing distros are supported only #ubuntu+1
[13:09] <goneeuro> ok. I posted over there too. Thanks for the headsup.
[14:06] <attrapereves> Hi, my computer is completely freezing at the login screen. The mouse and keyboard do not respond. Restarting the computer usually works, but sometimes I have to restart it 3 or 4 times. Any ideas?
[14:07] <Golynx-> You need the correct drivers
[14:10] <attrapereves> Golynx, my system has Intel onboard graphics. I didn't think that Intel graphics usually cause problems.
[14:11] <cfhowlett> attrapereves, intel graphics driver is preferable if available - which it is; 1.06
[14:17] <attrapereves> This is the last error I see in /var/log before restarting the computer:
[14:17] <attrapereves> xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: Timeout while waiting for a slot
[16:20] <horrow> Hey guys
[16:20] <horrow> :)
[17:46] <FabulFabiFabo> hi body
[17:48] <FabulFabiFabo> i have visit website Xubuntu, i would to know if my old computer withe cpu 120 Mhz and 32 Mo Ram can run withe Xubuntu?
[17:48] <bazhang> 32mb?
[17:49] <FabulFabiFabo> yes
[17:49] <bazhang> what os is on there now
[17:50] <baizon> FabulFabiFabo: none DE will work with this much of memory
[17:50] <FabulFabiFabo> windows 98
[17:50] <baizon> only terminal would be recommended
[17:53] <FabulFabiFabo> i would like run this computer just for a minal server but i don't no if i can run with terminal xubuntu
[17:54] <FabulFabiFabo> minimal server *
[17:59] <FabulFabiFabo> baizon you think withe terminal i run ?
[18:03] <koegs> i would not waste my time with this type of hardware
[18:59] <gumble__> I have an live usb stick here with a xubuntu version on it. is there a quick way to check if it is 32 or 64 bit without restarting my pc and booting from the stick?
[19:04] <bekks> gumble__: Just take a look at "uname -a"
[19:05] <gumble__> bekks, probs would be, that as I said I don't want to boot from the stick. but found a solution already, so thanks anyway
[19:05] <bekks> gumble__: So whats your solution?
[19:06] <gumble__> bekks, on the stick is a md5sum.txt, in there are a few lines at the end which contain '...i386...', so I guess it is 32 bit :)
[19:07] <bekks> gumble__: Can you pastebin that file?
[19:07] <gumble__> yes, I can, wait a sec..
[19:08] <gumble__> bekks, http://pastebin.com/qSqMMdv3
[19:08] <gumble__> why do you need it?
[19:08] <bekks> Because "...386..." is pretty generic :)
[19:09] <gumble__> ah ok, but looking at the file you too would say it is 32 bit right?
[19:09] <gumble__> the lines I meant are at the bottom of the paste
[21:26] <zacwalls> can someone help me. i downloaded playOnLinux and i have know idea how to use it. all tutorials are out dated
[22:31] <bazhang> http://www.linuxtechi.com/playonlinux-install-windows-software-games-in-ubuntu/  <[23:12] <orangerobot> hi there. I've upgraded my ubuntu version and I no longer have a desktop. I've purged and reinstalled the xubuntu-desktop package but now when I log into my computer I just see garbage on the screen
[23:12] <orangerobot> some coloured pixels only.
[23:12] <orangerobot> I can see my mouse cursor though
[23:13] <orangerobot> Any general pointers I could try?  It's ok if involves de-installation and such.
