| SamwiseGamgee | msg rww I emailed the ban appeal on August 12 | 01:07 |
| Dr_Dan | I have question, i have Xubuntu 14.04.1 on a asus netbook. I see problems with ACPI and xcfe-power where if you set 'Do nothing' when lid closes it -still- seems to Suspend | 01:19 |
| PhoenixSTF | Dr_Dan: I have the same issue has well, but did not have the time to figure it out | 01:44 |
| PhoenixSTF | I think I will test it tomorow and check what can be done | 01:45 |
| Dr_Dan | PhoenixSTF: this is what it shows... http://i61.tinypic.com/254v4ms.jpg | 01:58 |
| Dr_Dan | But it will still suspend when you close lid :-( | 02:00 |
| David-A_ | Dr_Dan: 1) you are crossposting in #ubuntu. 2) I don't see your image at tinypic, see: http://ctrlv.in/411549 (maybe they require javascript) | 02:12 |
| Dr_Dan | David_A: sorry. Try this: i61.tinypic.com/254v4ms.jpg | 02:37 |
| David-A_ | Dr_Dan: that's the same url, and the site still requires javascript | 02:41 |
| Dr_Dan | Ok. Sorry. Anyways it Power Manager applet in System Settings. Second panel which "On AC Power". It says 'when laptop lid is closed : Do nothing" | 02:44 |
| Dr_Dan | Follow so far? | 02:44 |
| David-A_ | Dr_Dan: ok, I dont know what the problem is, but for future reference, you could use an image site that does not require js to look at the image. (the one I used does not even require js to post an image) | 02:57 |
| Dr_Dan | But if i close the lid, it immediately goes to Suspend mode. So its like xcfe-manager is ignoring settings. | 03:02 |
| ToZ | Dr_Dan, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1307545 | 03:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1307545 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 03:07 |
| Dr_Dan | Xfce4-power-manager has a bug then? Ok. Is there git build with fix? Or wait for next update? | 03:09 |
| cfhowlett | Dr_Dan, read the bug report for current status | 03:09 |
| ToZ | It has been fixed in 1.3, but as I understand it, it won't be backported to previous versions. There is a workaround in that bug report. | 03:10 |
| ToZ | You'll have to wait for utopic for the official fix | 03:10 |
| Dr_Dan | Ok. Looks like workaround is to to set HandleLidSwitch=ignore in logind.conf. Does that sound right? | 03:13 |
| ToZ | Dr_Dan, yes. And make sure you uncomment that line (remove the hash mark). | 03:14 |
| Dr_Dan | Got it. Will try that tonite. Thank ToZ. G'Nite | 03:15 |
| ToZ | Dr_Dan, you need to reboot for it to take effect. | 03:16 |
| Dr_Dan | Ok. Copy that. | 03:16 |
| Dr_Dan | Nite | 03:16 |

| RedDevil_ | Sorry, may be it's reserved shortcuts ... And in this case try to check, before you set it for your own, what they do by default/ | 05:52 |
| ner0x | I have it set on my laptop with no issues. It's just odd. | 06:06 |
| RedDevil_ | ner0x, you use Xubuntu? | 06:11 |
| RedDevil_ | ner0x, I use Xubuntu, and in Xubuntu shortcuts Alt+(F1, F2, F3) used by default. | 06:24 |

| dethredic | I'm running Xubuntu and last night I pull down a software update (may or may not be related). This morning (after a power cycle) when I maximize windows I no longer see the titlebar. | 13:26 |
| dethredic | My monitor's resolution is correct, and my mouse can only go to the top of the screen | 13:26 |
| dethredic | I tried deleting all of my session data but that didn't help | 13:26 |
| RedDevil_ | On your machine proprietary driver for video card installed? | 13:27 |
| dethredic | RedDevil_: Nope | 13:29 |
| dethredic | I have an integrated intel graphics | 13:29 |
| RedDevil_ | In this case it strange ... because I have same problem, but it begins in errors in driver | 13:31 |
| dethredic | RedDevil_: hrmm | 13:36 |
| dethredic | I was told to log out and delete my session data | 13:37 |
| dethredic | I'm gonna try that in a bit | 13:37 |
| RedDevil_ | Sorry, I try to find app that I connected to Mail Reader, or Browser link, don't remember, some thing like Display, or may be something else ... sorry, I really don't remember. Why I talk about it, because if you try to delete Mail Reader or may be Browser, and after it restart your PC, you can get very same action, and if you install back this deleted App, all works fine ) Sorry for randomly talking and confused things, I from Belarus, and not good i | 13:48 |

| Gatis | How to to switch Desktops with shortkey? | 14:29 |
| xubuntu533 | i'm new to linux | 14:44 |
| xubuntu533 | hi all | 14:44 |
| xubuntu533 | having problems learning how to use command prompts and find drivers | 14:45 |
| ObrienDave | drivers for??? | 14:46 |
| xubuntu533 | an external hard drive isn't mounting | 14:47 |
| xubuntu533 | and when i play video the laptop crashes | 14:47 |
| ObrienDave | do you know how to use the command line in a terminal? | 14:52 |
| xubuntu533 | I think so, open terminal and put in the command prompt, right? | 14:53 |
| ObrienDave | pretty much, yes. that's a good start :) | 14:53 |
| xubuntu533 | :) | 14:54 |
| ObrienDave | what video card do you have? | 14:54 |
| xubuntu533 | how do i find that out? | 14:54 |
| ObrienDave | well, before that, do you know how to pastebin? | 14:55 |
| xubuntu533 | is there a good web page with a list of command prompts? | 14:55 |
| xubuntu533 | no | 14:56 |
| ObrienDave | the prompt is what shows you where you are in the directory structure. you mean command list :) | 14:56 |
| xubuntu533 | thanks :) | 14:57 |
| xubuntu533 | ok | 14:57 |
| xubuntu533 | so is there an equivlent to control panel on xubuntu? | 14:57 |
| ObrienDave | so, in a terminal, you can enter "info" or "help" to see a synopsis of terminal commands | 14:58 |
| ObrienDave | yes, the settings manager is pretty much the same as control panel | 14:58 |
| ObrienDave | try those commands in a terminal if you like | 14:59 |
| ObrienDave | info will give you a longer list that you can navigate up and down with cursor keys, scroll wheel. type q to quit | 15:00 |
| xubuntu533 | I put in info, just reading it now | 15:00 |
| xubuntu533 | so how do I find out why the externl drive isn't mounting | 15:02 |
| ObrienDave | good. now if you need more info on a command, type man <command>, where <command> is the one you want. like "man ls" for example | 15:02 |
| ObrienDave | i assume it's a USB formatted to NTFS | 15:03 |
| xubuntu533 | it's an old internal hard drive taken out of a netbook and put in a case | 15:03 |
| xubuntu533 | pluged in by usb | 15:03 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: "old" may be broken | 15:04 |
| ObrienDave | ok, does it work on any other system? | 15:04 |
| xubuntu533 | yes | 15:04 |
| holstein | i would test the drive.. i like gsmartcontrol | 15:04 |
| holstein | !mount | 15:04 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 15:04 |
| xubuntu533 | I ran gsmartcontrol | 15:09 |
| ObrienDave | did the drive show up? | 15:10 |
| xubuntu533 | About to execute gsmartcontrol. This command needs root privileges to be executed. Using sudo... Enter ollie password at prompt. [sudo] password for ollie: <warn> [hz] Warning: exit: Device open failed, or device did not return an IDENTIFY DEVICE structure. <warn> [app] execute_smartctl(): Error while executing smartctl binary. <warn> [app] StorageDevice::execute_device_smartctl(): Error while executing smartctl binary. <warn | 15:10 |
| xubuntu533 | that#s what it said | 15:11 |
| ObrienDave | k | 15:11 |
| ObrienDave | do this for now, sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 15:11 |
| xubuntu533 | in the terminal? | 15:11 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 15:12 |
| ObrienDave | you can copy and paste to the terminal | 15:13 |
| ObrienDave | did it install? | 15:15 |
| xubuntu533 | no | 15:15 |
| ObrienDave | do, uname -a and paste the line here please | 15:16 |
| xubuntu533 | 3.13.0-34-generic #60-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 13 15:45:27 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 15:27 |
| xubuntu533 | there you go dave | 15:27 |
| xubuntu533 | does that make sense in relation to the hard drive | 15:27 |
| xubuntu533 | so on linux all hard drive are the same ? | 15:27 |
| ObrienDave | no, but it tells me you are on the latest 64bit system | 15:28 |
| ObrienDave | try this, lsblk | pastebinit | 15:29 |
| ObrienDave | post the URL please | 15:29 |
| xubuntu533 | can you explain to my what pastebin is please? | 15:29 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i use "gksudo gsmartcontrol" and i look for the drive... but if its mounting and working on another system.. | 15:30 |
| holstein | !pastebinit | 15:30 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:30 |
| xubuntu533 | I've googled it but am a bit confused how it relates to my problems | 15:30 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: it allows you to more easiler share information with the volunteers here assisting you | 15:30 |
| ObrienDave | pastebin keep you from being muted or irritating people with multiple lines of text output. for your protection LOL | 15:31 |
| xubuntu533 | cool | 15:31 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: is the drive working on another operating system? | 15:31 |
| holstein | by "working".. read and write, and acting "normal" ? | 15:32 |
| xubuntu533 | hang on have a person at the door, will be bac | 15:32 |
| xubuntu533 | thanks for help so far | 15:32 |
| xubuntu533 | the drive worked on windows vista on the same laptop | 15:37 |
| xubuntu533 | i've open pastebin how do i use it? | 15:37 |
| ObrienDave | well try this first, lsblk | 15:38 |
| xubuntu533 | in pastebin | 15:38 |
| ObrienDave | no in terminal | 15:39 |
| ObrienDave | see the tree structure? | 15:39 |
| ObrienDave | now do, lsblk | pastebinit | 15:39 |
| ObrienDave | post the URL here | 15:39 |
| xubuntu533 | one sec | 15:39 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: sure. what do you mean by "the drive worked" ? if you dont konw that it is working, then i would test it.. if you havent seen it factually working just now, test it | 15:41 |
| holstein | i use "gksudo gsmartcontrol" to run gsmartcontrol with root access | 15:42 |
| xubuntu533 | dave i'm having to register to pastebin | 15:43 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: dont | 15:44 |
| xubuntu533 | holstein I have run gsmartcontrol | 15:44 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: just use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:44 |
| xubuntu533 | do what with it? | 15:44 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: paste your output there.. dont "overthink" this.. just share the data | 15:44 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: you open http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste the output of "lsblk" there.. you hit "paste!" button, and share back the link you get | 15:45 |
| xubuntu533 | to your username/ | 15:46 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:46 |
| xubuntu533 | got it | 15:46 |
| ObrienDave | you get something like this; http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089925/ | 15:46 |
| xubuntu533 | that's the lsblk | 15:46 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089929/ | 15:47 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: after you press "the button" you get the link to your paste that you can share | 15:47 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:48 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: no | 15:48 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: see how the link you *just* pasted has no numbers in it? | 15:48 |
| ObrienDave | LOL copy and paster the URL at the top of the screen. should look like our examples | 15:48 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: that link is just to the main ubuntu paste site http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089929/ | 15:48 |
| ObrienDave | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089925/ | 15:49 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 15:49 |
| xubuntu533 | do i have to put my username in then? | 15:50 |
| ObrienDave | anything you like will do | 15:50 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089950/ | 15:50 |
| ObrienDave | YAY! \o/ | 15:51 |
| xubuntu533 | that's the gsmart one | 15:51 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: you have been asked to post "lsblk" | 15:52 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8089968/ | 15:52 |
| xubuntu533 | had two requests | 15:52 |
| xubuntu533 | that's the lsblk | 15:52 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: the USB drive is an 160 GB external usb drive? | 15:53 |
| ObrienDave | under settings, open "removable drives and media" | 15:53 |
| ObrienDave | storage tab, top 2 boxes checked? | 15:54 |
| xubuntu533 | yes | 15:54 |
| ObrienDave | open a file browser, does the USB show in the drive list on the left? | 15:55 |
| xubuntu533 | in the the systems manager? yes | 15:57 |
| ObrienDave | can you access the drive from the file manager? | 15:57 |
| xubuntu533 | no same problem | 15:58 |
| ObrienDave | what does it say? | 15:58 |
| ObrienDave | what does it do? | 15:58 |
| holstein | i would issue the mount command from the terminal, and see the errors.. | 15:58 |
| holstein | !mount | 15:58 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 15:58 |
| xubuntu533 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8090016/ | 15:58 |
| holstein | i would use "gksudo gsmartcontrol" to run a test on the drive that would take about an hour, and read the results | 15:59 |
| holstein | but, that drive seems to just need exfat support | 15:59 |
| holstein | !exfat | 15:59 |
| xubuntu533 | is that a command? | 16:00 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/370398/how-to-get-a-drive-formatted-with-exfat-working | 16:00 |
| ObrienDave | is that drive formatted NTFS or FAT32 or exFAT? | 16:00 |
| holstein | exfat | 16:00 |
| xubuntu533 | fat32 | 16:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i disagree | 16:01 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i read exfat | 16:01 |
| xubuntu533 | ok it must be exfat then | 16:01 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu533, no things that start with ! are ubottu info commands | 16:01 |
| ObrienDave | such as, | 16:02 |
| ObrienDave | !details | 16:02 |
| ubottu | Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 16:02 |

| holstein | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat | 16:06 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: done? | 16:06 |
| xubuntu533 | yes, thank you all :) | 16:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: actually, you dont even need those | 16:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: just do.. | 16:07 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse | 16:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: are you done with that? | 16:07 |
| xubuntu533 | sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils | 16:07 |
| xubuntu533 | thT ONE DID IT | 16:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: if so, you'll need to reboot to get them to take effect | 16:07 |
| xubuntu533 | cheers holstien | 16:07 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: then, you should be able to click on the drive from the left side of the file manager | 16:07 |
| xubuntu533 | it works now | 16:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: enjoy | 16:08 |
| xubuntu533 | erm, any ideas about why my video might be crashing ? | 16:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: sure | 16:08 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: hardware support of linux | 16:08 |
| ObrienDave | you need to find out which card | 16:08 |
| xubuntu533 | how do i do that? | 16:09 |
| holstein | i would look for and try proprietary drivers if there are any for the device | 16:09 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i would start with.. | 16:09 |
| holstein | !details | xubuntu533 | 16:09 |
| ubottu | xubuntu533: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 16:09 |
| holstein | how is what crashing when.. | 16:09 |
| xubuntu533 | ok, when i was watching an mp4 file it would keep freezing | 16:10 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: what would? the entire desktop? or the file? what player? where did you get what my4 you tested? did you test any other file types? what codec do you have installed? | 16:11 |
| holstein | !restricted | 16:11 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 16:12 |
| xubuntu533 | entire desktop | 16:12 |
| holstein | i would test other filetypes.. i would try vlc | 16:12 |
| holstein | !info vlc | 16:12 |
| ubottu | vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1 (trusty), package size 1170 kB, installed size 3604 kB | 16:12 |
| holstein | i would make sure i have the proper codecs installed.. then, i would move on to graphics driver support | 16:12 |
| xubuntu533 | on vlc and parole | 16:12 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: ok | 16:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: as i said, i would try *other* video files.. other types.. see that i have the proper codecs installed. then, i would look at the graphics driver support | 16:13 |
| xubuntu533 | i think it is the graphics driver, how do I get to the graphics driver from settings | 16:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: the graphics driver is just included in the kernel | 16:14 |
| xubuntu533 | on windows I used k lite codecs is there are good equivilient on linux | 16:14 |
| ObrienDave | you could look up the model number specs for your laptop | 16:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: there are also proprietary ones for some devices | 16:14 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i gave a link above already to codec information | 16:14 |
| holstein | !restricted | 16:14 |
| ubottu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 16:14 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu533, do this, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras | 16:15 |
| xubuntu533 | thanks | 16:16 |
| holstein | i agree ..^ that wont hurt anything, and will either give you support or not.. then, you can move on knowing that the issue is likely not the codec support | 16:16 |
| xubuntu533 | i have googled this, but am still not clear how to get to the drivers or the hardware on settings | 16:17 |
| xubuntu533 | I'm dyslexic and find it much easier to work things through like this | 16:18 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu533, we'll get there, we are going through more common things to eliminate other possibilities | 16:18 |
| xubuntu533 | shall i try and play a vid see if it works ok now? | 16:19 |
| ObrienDave | you can, if not, reboot and try | 16:19 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: did you install xubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 16:20 |
| xubuntu533 | yes | 16:21 |
| xubuntu533 | I have something playing see what happens | 16:21 |
| xubuntu533 | so how do i get to the drivers and hardware? | 16:22 |
| holstein | you are sitting at the hardware.. the drivers are just in the kernel | 16:22 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: there may or may not be proprietary driver options.. in order to suggest some, again, we need !details | 16:22 |
| ObrienDave | what make and model is your laptop? | 16:23 |
| xubuntu533 | ok how do i find out what my vid card? | 16:23 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i would ask the manufacturer.. or, open a terminal and run "lspci" and i would share that output in a pastebin if i needed help understanding it | 16:24 |
| xubuntu533 | so on windows i would go to my comp and properties | 16:24 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: sure.. this is not windows | 16:24 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/72766/how-do-i-find-out-the-model-of-my-graphics-card | 16:24 |
| xubuntu533 | thanks | 16:25 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: there is no need to just install those drivers if the video seems to be playing fine now | 16:26 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: i suggest testing the video, and waiting for another lockup | 16:26 |

| xubuntu533 | think it was the codecs | 16:27 |
| holstein | sure.. so, there are proprietary options.. you can find them in the "software sources" tab.. but, again, i would wait | 16:27 |
| ObrienDave | xubuntu533, short answer, "If it works, DON'T try to fix it" ;P | 16:27 |
| xubuntu533 | I'm just getting used to using commands to find out and alter stuff :0 | 16:27 |
| holstein | xubuntu533: sure.. just dont alter things | 16:28 |
| xubuntu533 | does anyone find that adding apps to firefow can effect linux | 16:28 |
| xubuntu533 | and is it worth having a firewall? | 16:28 |
| ObrienDave | a firewall is a necessary evil | 16:29 |
| xubuntu533 | so do i put in ufw into terminal? | 16:31 |
| ObrienDave | and adding apps to firefox should not affect Linux. but, you never know | 16:31 |
| ObrienDave | try it ;P | 16:32 |
| xubuntu533 | cool, did the sudo ufw etc | 16:33 |
| xubuntu533 | all good thanks guys you have been a great help | 16:33 |
| ObrienDave | our pleasure, come back and help when you can, and welcome to the world of Ubuntu :) | 16:34 |
| xubuntu533 | will do | 16:35 |
| holstein | !firewall | 16:35 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 16:35 |
| Skutov | Hi there, I'm having a bit of trouble mounting an SD card, I had it mounted earlier, removed it, re-inserted it and it won't mount one of the partitions on the card now, whenever I try to mount the card it gives the error 'mount: File exists' Does anyone know what's up with this and/or how to fix the problem? (The other partition on the SD card mounts automatically and is fine) | 16:44 |
| holstein | ouch.. hope its not broken, or failing.. | 16:44 |
| Skutov | Doesn't seem to be, it's a kingston one and I've been using it in a raspberry pi for the last few months. | 16:45 |
| holstein | i would try and test and be sure.. try taking it to another box if you have one handy.. | 16:46 |
| Skutov | I'll give it a go, one sec. | 16:47 |
| Skutov | All seems fine, and if I do check filesystem in gparted it says no error found. | 16:57 |
| indrora | Skutov, Where is it trying to be mounted? | 17:08 |
| Skutov | indrora, in /media/username/ I believed | 17:09 |
| Skutov | believe* | 17:09 |
| indrora | Skutov, what's in /media/<username>/ ? Because if there's a directory tree that *has things in it*, mount will grumble that it doesn't like mounting over an existing filesystem. | 17:10 |
| indrora | Simplest case is you remove the SD card, remove anything where gvfs is mounting things, and try again | 17:11 |
| Skutov | The file it's trying to mount into is empty, how do I go about seeing what gvfs is mounting? | 17:29 |
| indrora | Is it a file or a directory? | 17:36 |
| indrora | @ Skutov | 17:37 |
| Skutov | Directory sorry. | 17:37 |
| indrora | Skutov, Best guess would be to remove that directory. Otherwise, I'm not sure if `dmesg | tail` would yield anything helpful here :\ | 17:42 |
| GeoDude | I recently ran the software updater, and afterwards I started getting this https://db.tt/COXmJXIg | 18:41 |
| GeoDude | a few days and a few reboots later, I still get it occasionally | 18:41 |
| holstein | GeoDude: did you add a ppa for php? | 18:42 |
| GeoDude | The only ppa's I've added were the google chrome ppas | 18:42 |
| holstein | GeoDude: what are you running php with/for ? | 18:43 |
| GeoDude | I'm running php for nginx | 18:43 |
| GeoDude | as part of LEMP | 18:43 |
| holstein | GeoDude: i would confirm all my php configs, and try testing without them.. i would make sure there are no other updates, and apply them and test if so.. i would try a server channel | 18:46 |

| xubuntu784 | Hi there! Anyone got some news about the wifi problems in the new 14.04 ? My wifi connexion is unstable and can't stay connected more than 5 minutes... I have to reconnect again every time (and it doesn't work all the time :/). | 20:03 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | can anyone help me with reinstalling ubuntu | 21:11 |
| holstein | !install | 21:11 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 21:11 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | nice | 21:12 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | lol | 21:12 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: it'll be just like installing was.. you'll just do it again :) | 21:12 |
| pjotter | Hi everyone. Just upgraded to 14.04 and noticed that automatic mounting of NAS fails at startup. It seems that my network is not ready at that time. Mounting by adding a sleep 30 and mount command in /etc/rc.mount seems to fix this. However, there might be a better sollution to this problem? Anyone? | 21:12 |
| holstein | i would make sure i have *any* and all data i want or need | 21:12 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | yeah its just, when i put in the usb... no matter what i do , (boot menu, from usb first hdd second) the grub menu always comes up first.. and theres no option to reinstall | 21:12 |
| pjotter | I meant /etc/rc.local | 21:12 |
| garandil | pjotter, what service are you using? | 21:12 |
| Dragon64 | xubuntu784 -- what wifi chipset you using? | 21:12 |
| holstein | Dragon64: user is gone | 21:13 |
| pjotter | garandil: What do you mean by 'service'? | 21:13 |
| garandil | CIFS or NFS? | 21:13 |
| pjotter | Ah | 21:13 |
| Dragon64 | o ha | 21:13 |
| garandil | or iSCSI | 21:13 |
| pjotter | CIFS. But I also tried NFS, same problems. | 21:13 |
| garandil | try to add _netdev in /etc/fstab | 21:13 |
| garandil | under options | 21:13 |
| pjotter | I also tried adding _netdev to the fstab options. But that didn't work. | 21:14 |
| garandil | pjotter, that's strange | 21:14 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | ive been through those help sites before.. my problem is not installing, its getting the usb installer to work before the grub boot menu where i can choose my os | 21:14 |
| garandil | eatsleepsuplexre, BIOS/EFI boot options | 21:15 |
| pjotter | Well, a search on the internet revelas a lot of people having the same problem. I have been having this problem for a long time now. Also in 12.04. I was hoping that it would be fixed in 14.04. But unfortunately the problem remains. | 21:15 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | yes, boot usb first , it doesnt change the grub loader | 21:15 |
| pjotter | It would be great if I could figure out how to make a script that waits for the network to come up and then mount the NAS. I could put that it in /etc/rc.local. Unfortunately, most scripts I tried sofar failed because the -e option is set in the bash of /etc/rc.local. | 21:18 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | this is so annoying i cant explain myself properly to people | 21:18 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | fucking over this bullshit | 21:18 |
| holstein | !langauge | 21:19 |
| ubottu | The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 21:19 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: if you want to reinstall, its just like when you installed the first time. did you install xubuntu 14.04? from USB? | 21:19 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: why are you trying to reinstall? | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | yes | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i have windows 8 , and ubuntu now, no matter what i do in bios, i cannot boot usb before the grub menu | 21:20 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: you'll just point the bios of the hardware to the USB stick again, and do the same.. and you will get the system reinstalled | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | the grub = first, usb startup = non existant | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i did point it to it.. i have eufi that can boot from usb | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i also went into my bios and manually selected | 21:20 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | usb first | 21:21 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: most machines have a key combination that can make the USB boot | 21:21 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | hdd second | 21:21 |
| holstein | !uefi | 21:21 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:21 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | the install was fine , i screwed up now i want to repair the whole damn system | 21:21 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | or reinstall fresh | 21:21 |
| garandil | pjotter, I'm poking around to see, I got CIFS mounting up without problems | 21:21 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | but grub wont let me use my usb | 21:21 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: grub doesnt boot the usb | 21:22 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i know but it boots before it | 21:22 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | T_T | 21:22 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: the machine will boot the bootloader on the usb | 21:22 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: sure.. stop doing it that way, and look into making the machine boot the USB as you did before.. | 21:23 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | omg | 21:23 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | Yes | 21:23 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: grub, installed on the internal hard drive is not intended to boot the USB installer | 21:23 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i cry | 21:23 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | forget it | 21:23 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | how can i repair a screwed up ubuntu that has no desktop | 21:24 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | and says low res mode | 21:24 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | because i installed the wrong open source amd ppa driver , now sudo aticonfig --uninstall wont work, apt-get install fglrx wont work, because it says " cannot uninstall aticonfig because files have been changed" | 21:25 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: i would look into the graphics drivers | 21:25 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: i would purge the unsupported ppa's and try getting back to stock | 21:25 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | so icant get any drivers for my gfx , i cant get a desktop , nothing just blackness | 21:25 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | and a console | 21:25 |
| garandil | eatsleepsuplexre, tried to use remove with -f on the installed package? | 21:26 |
| Hedgework | eatsleepsuplexre: there are very few things that can't be fixed from the console...and those can't be fixed at all. | 21:26 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i dont know how ok | 21:26 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | im sorry but i am really new, and this is why i wanted to install fresh | 21:26 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | everything was going fine until i tried to install this stupid driver because my shaders 3.0 wasnt working | 21:27 |
| Hedgework | eatsleepsuplexre: That's okay, let's start with some basics. You keep saying that you cannot get your machine to boot to USB...are you getting an error, or does the machine just boot to an internal drive instead? | 21:27 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | it just goes straight to grub | 21:27 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: you are in the low resolution safe mode, correct? | 21:27 |
| Hedgework | You realize that the boot USB has grub on it, too, right? | 21:27 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i know the usb works, i know boot to usb works, because a few hours ago i Installed ubuntu on the same damn usb | 21:27 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | and i havent even taken it out of the slot.. | 21:27 |
| Hedgework | (at least if you did it the usual way) | 21:27 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | what? | 21:29 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: please watch the language and attitude. i relize you are frustrated, but we are all only about volunteering assistance for you, and want to help | 21:29 |
| holstein | realize* | 21:29 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | im sorry but im confused | 21:29 |
| Hedgework | eatsleepsuplexre: I need to afk for a minute (I'm still at work), but I'll try to help when I get back. | 21:30 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | maybe il just delete the whole ubuntu partiton from my windows | 21:30 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | will that get rid of grub ? | 21:30 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | ok | 21:30 |
| garandil | GRUB is installed in the MBR | 21:31 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | this is probably why its overriding the usb boot for ubuntu | 21:31 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | correct? | 21:31 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | -_- | 21:31 |
| garandil | if you are to remove it from Windows you also need to run the command prompt, but you can revert installed packages | 21:32 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i thought there woulda been a failsafe command in ubuntu like fdisk for windows | 21:33 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | that checks every package and reverts it back to original setting or something | 21:33 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | like a repair | 21:34 |
| garandil | eatsleepsuplexre, you can remove the installed driver | 21:34 |
| pjotter1 | garandil: I might have found a sollution, but need to reboot. brb | 21:34 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | i cant it wont let me lol | 21:34 |
| eatsleepsuplexre | it says its changed | 21:34 |
| garandil | pjotter1, ok | 21:34 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: the internal grub is not blocking the usb from booting | 21:36 |
| holstein | eatsleepsuplexre: i would choose to either fix the grahpics issue, or work with the bios to make the USB stick boot again | 21:36 |
| pjotter | it seems to work :) | 21:40 |
| garandil | pjotter, what did you do? | 21:40 |
| pjotter | Just a small addition to the /etc/rc.local script | 21:40 |
| pjotter | Wait, I'll make a paste | 21:41 |
| pjotter | garandil: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8092443/ | 21:41 |
| pjotter | The echo's are not really nessecary as they will not be visible during booting. | 21:42 |
| pjotter | The "/dev/null 2>&1" in this script is very important. If you just use "/dev/null" the script will not work as the -e option is used in the bash. | 21:44 |
| pjotter | But this seems to work just fine. | 21:44 |
| pjotter | Tried it a couple of times and the Nas was mounted very nicely. | 21:44 |
| pjotter | Another question: Are people aware that there is a little problem with the panel-Trash-icon in Xubuntu? The status is not displayed correctly when you log out and in again. If there is something in the trash and the icon will display an empty trash. This was also a problem in 12.04. I fixed this with a small script too. | 21:49 |
| pjotter | You just need to put a dummy-file in the trash and remove it from the trash. Then the status is updated and the correct status is displayed on the icon. | 21:50 |
| joaoso | hello | 22:00 |
| knome | joaoso, hello | 22:01 |
| joaoso | hi knome. i'm having a little problem and tried to find some solution online and nothing | 22:03 |
| knome | just ask the question; if somebody knows the answer, they'll most probably reply | 22:03 |
| joaoso | basically i login on xubuntu and the launcher doesnt appear | 22:05 |
| knome | do you see anything else? | 22:06 |
| joaoso | just the wallpaper | 22:06 |
| knome | joaoso, what happens if you press alt+f2? | 22:06 |
| joaoso | find apps | 22:07 |
| knome | ok, type xfce4-panel and run it | 22:07 |
| joaoso | cant run it. says that the file does not exist | 22:09 |
| knome | ok, then open a terminal, and type xfce4-panel there | 22:09 |
| knome | do you get some kind of error then? | 22:09 |
| joaoso | yes. isnt installed | 22:11 |
| knome | right, then you'll have to install it | 22:12 |
| knome | once you've done that, run the command again | 22:12 |
| joaoso | yeah, i already do that | 22:12 |
| brainwash | pjotter: people = devs? | 22:13 |
| brainwash | pjotter: looks like you've already commented on the launchpad report which addresses the issue | 22:15 |
| pjotter | Which launchpadreport? | 22:16 |
| brainwash | bug 880533 | 22:16 |
| ubottu | bug 880533 in thunar (Ubuntu) "Thunar reports Trash Empty when it is not" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/880533 | 22:16 |
| pjotter | Indeed I have. | 22:16 |
| brainwash | so it also affects the trash panel plugin | 22:17 |
| pjotter | I only noticed problems with the trash panel plugin. | 22:17 |
| brainwash | is the trash icon enabled on the desktop? | 22:18 |
| joaoso | this is awkward, i dont have a full "bar". Does the latest version of xfce working properly with nvidia drivers? | 22:19 |
| pjotter | brainwash: This happens whether or not the desktop trash icon is enabled or not. | 22:19 |
| knome | joaoso, i have no problems with that. | 22:20 |
| brainwash | pjotter: I suggest that you add a comment to the linked upstream report | 22:21 |
| pjotter | I think most users won't notice because they probably use the desktop trash icon. I like to disable that one and enabele the panel trash icon instead. | 22:21 |
| knome | joaoso, are you sure you haven't removed other core components or something similar? | 22:21 |
| pjotter | brainwash: What should I comment? I told them pretty much all I know | 22:21 |
| brainwash | pjotter: to bump the report, so it's more likely to be seen :) | 22:23 |
| joaoso | yes, this is a fresh install. i installed the nvidia drivers and reboot | 22:23 |
| joaoso | login and thats it | 22:24 |
| pjotter | brainwash: Ah, I see. | 22:24 |
| knome | joaoso, how come you didn't have xfce4-panel installed then? | 22:24 |
| joaoso | good question | 22:24 |
| brainwash | pjotter: other than that, I doubt that it will be fixed any time soon | 22:25 |
| brainwash | pjotter: moreover, it does not affect the default Xubuntu setup | 22:25 |
| pjotter | default Xubuntu setup? | 22:25 |
| brainwash | default xubuntu desktop config | 22:26 |
| pjotter | It's in the default installation. | 22:26 |
| pjotter | I just tested it yesterday with 14.04 fresh install. Same problem. | 22:26 |
| pjotter | 14.04.1 even | 22:26 |
| brainwash | but you've added the panel trash icon | 22:27 |
| pjotter | Ok, I see what you mean. | 22:27 |
| joaoso | this happend to me once and i installed xubuntu again. now i'm here | 22:27 |
| pjotter | Yes, most people won't notice untill they start using the panel icon | 22:27 |
| brainwash | feel free to investigate further, maybe you can manage to fix this little annoyance with a patch :) | 22:27 |
| pjotter | I consider that icon to be avaliable by default so... | 22:27 |
| pjotter | I suspect someone forgot to do a status-update somewhere in the code. | 22:28 |
| pjotter | I never really looked into any code really. | 22:28 |
| brainwash | you can join #xfce-dev and ask questions specific to the source code (if you need help) | 22:29 |

| FRodrigues | after "when the lid is closed:" | 22:36 |
| brainwash | but it suspends the laptop instead? | 22:36 |
| FRodrigues | yes | 22:36 |
| brainwash | bug 1307545 | 22:37 |
| ubottu | bug 1307545 in xfce4-power-manager (Ubuntu) "Power Manager settings are ignored when closing laptop lid" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1307545 | 22:37 |
| brainwash | it's a known issue | 22:37 |
| pjotter | There seem to be more problems with the new 14.04 version and laptops. I can't toggle the wifi on my Eee anymore for example. | 22:37 |
| brainwash | pjotter: but that's a rather specific issue I'd guess | 22:38 |
| brainwash | pjotter: did you already search for a bug report on launchpad? | 22:38 |
| pjotter | brainwash: Still workinh on it. But from what I read on the internet, it is specific to a number of laptops. Eee is just one of many who have these kinds of problems. | 22:38 |
| pjotter | brainwash: I have come across some bugreports that mention these problems. But I haven't had time to look into it properly. | 22:39 |

| FRodrigues | brainwash, thanks for the link | 22:41 |
| brainwash | pjotter: the new kernel version or firmware files could be the reason | 22:41 |
| stiv2k_ | XFCE4 is still blanking my monitor even though i dont have any screensaver enabled and i disabled DMPS and all that | 23:23 |
| stiv2k_ | how to stop it? | 23:23 |
| ochosi | stiv2k_: "xset -q | grep timeout" will tell you whether there's a screensaver timeout | 23:27 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: ok, one sec | 23:35 |
| ochosi | stiv2k_: you can then set the new timeout (for the running session only) with e.g. "xset s 600" (600 being seconds, so 10mins) | 23:39 |
| ochosi | if you want that to persist, you have to add that command to autostart | 23:39 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: i want there to be unlimited timeout | 23:40 |
| stiv2k_ | its for a home theater PC, and while watching a movie, the screen goes blank after 5-10 minutes | 23:41 |
| stiv2k_ | very inconvenient | 23:41 |
| ochosi | stiv2k_: then you want "xset s 0" | 23:45 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: timeout is set to 600 | 23:51 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: where is the GUI option for that? i thought i disabled it in the GUI settings. Is this a bug? | 23:51 |
| twoofthree | why is it that I install the same xubuntu but i get different results as far as look and feel? | 23:54 |
| ochosi | stiv2k_: unless you're using xscreensaver, there might not be a gui option for this | 23:54 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: i told xscreensaver to stop loading in my autostart | 23:55 |
| stiv2k_ | ochosi: shouldn't there be a gui option? :) | 23:55 |
| ochosi | stiv2k_: there is in the latest version of xfce4-power-manager | 23:55 |
| ochosi | but you don't have that yet | 23:55 |
| stiv2k_ | :( | 23:55 |
| ObrienDave | twoofthree, please elaborate | 23:56 |
| ochosi | so anyway, set it as i suggested and be happy ;) | 23:56 |
| stiv2k_ | i will. | 23:56 |
| twoofthree | the apps menu for example. I installed the same OS yesterday and it had the searchable field . Now it simply does not. In fact I cant tell the difference booting from XFCE to Xubuntu | 23:56 |
| stiv2k_ | other thing, how do i tell ubuntu to stop leaving me at the GRUB menu when it falsely thinks the computer didnt shut down properly? | 23:56 |
| twoofthree | i boot in Xubuntu it still shows the "About XFCE" icon | 23:56 |
| stiv2k_ | its annoying | 23:56 |
| ObrienDave | twoofthree, Xubuntu also uses the XFCE desktop environment | 23:57 |
| twoofthree | i just dont understand how i can install from the same cd one day, and another day it sinply install differently | 23:58 |
| twoofthree | things are just not the same at all. Does Xubuntu do this purposefully? You never know exactly what kind of desktop gui you will get? | 23:58 |
| twoofthree | i used to be able to search for apps in the application menu, today i install same cd its gone. I dont understand that | 23:59 |
