| writing_novel | Can I ask a quick question here | 02:19 |
|---|---|---|
| writing_novel | bluesabre gave me this one liner: | 02:20 |
| writing_novel | xfce4-panel --quit; killall xfconfd; cp /etc/xdg/xfce4/panel/default.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml && sleep 2 && (xfconfd &) && (xfce4-panel &) | 02:20 |
| writing_novel | and it worked to give me the look and feel I wanted, except that it gave me an error about xfconfd not existing | 02:20 |
| writing_novel | any ideas? | 02:20 |
| writing_novel | aloysius! | 02:37 |
| e87hd | I am having DNS issues | 03:14 |
| e87hd | it is taking a long time to resolve IP's | 03:14 |
| e87hd | I am running 14.04 | 03:15 |
| e87hd | I am using google's public DNS servers to test them | 03:15 |
| e87hd | but no matter which DNS server I use, I experience the same behaviour | 03:15 |
| Unit193 | How are you testing? | 03:16 |
| e87hd | with firefox | 03:16 |
| Unit193 | ;; Query time: 52 msec ;; SERVER: 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8) | 03:16 |
| Unit193 | Try dig. | 03:16 |
| e87hd | and nslookup | 03:16 |
| e87hd | also | 03:16 |
| e87hd | when I tried to connect to irc | 03:16 |
| e87hd | it could not resolve irc.freenode.net | 03:17 |
| e87hd | nslookup could not as well | 03:17 |
| e87hd | I think it has something to do with resolver.conf | 03:17 |
| === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath | ||
| e87hd | but I dont know enough about it | 03:17 |
| Unit193 | resolv.conf, and you're likely using resolvconf which is a cache. I used dig @8.8.8.8 google.com to test. | 03:18 |
| Unit193 | See also http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/internet-networks.html#network-troubleshooting | 03:18 |
| Unit193 | !resolvconf | 03:18 |
| ubottu | resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution | 03:18 |
| Unit193 | xubuntu651: Hello. | 03:18 |
| xubuntu651 | hi guys..why whenever I click on the whisker menu my PC turns to black screen then profile login menu again | 03:20 |
| e87hd | ok | 03:22 |
| e87hd | so, right now I am getting time outs when I ping google.com | 03:22 |
| e87hd | if I ping 8.8.8.8 it is working | 03:22 |
| e87hd | it also just takes a very long time to surf the web | 03:24 |
| e87hd | as every page I go to seems to take forever to load | 03:24 |
| e87hd | and the status bar in FF says, "Looking up $website ..." | 03:25 |
| e87hd | I found this article that might resolve my issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/134578/slow-wired-connection-dns-issue | 03:33 |
| e87hd | I just don't know how to implement it | 03:33 |

| xubuntu427 | hi guys..I tried everything in the forums to solve my xubntu login loop | 10:19 |
| xubuntu427 | still to no avail | 10:19 |
| ObrienDave | what login loop? | 10:53 |
| xubuntu694 | hello | 11:29 |
| xubuntu694 | anyone online? | 11:29 |
| ObrienDave | nope | 11:29 |
| garandil | we're offline at the moment | 11:29 |
| xubuntu694 | daamn.. | 11:29 |
| ObrienDave | nobody home but us chickens ;P | 11:30 |
| xubuntu694 | quick question, does anyone know how to update bios on xubunut? my netbook can't charge the battery unless i update bios.. | 11:31 |
| garandil | should be able to do flash from USB | 11:31 |
| ObrienDave | most BIOS flash utilities are meant to be run from USB stick or floppies | 11:33 |
| xubuntu694 | I think the bios update was made for windows os , will it be a problem? | 11:33 |
| ObrienDave | shouldn't be an issue | 11:33 |
| xubuntu694 | thank you very much i will try to do that | 11:34 |
| garandil | It might not be able to interact with the HW via Wine | 11:36 |
| garandil | USB flashing would be the safest way to go as BIOS upgrades potentially can brick your computer | 11:36 |
| xubuntu916 | when updating bios from usb, what format does it have to be, in order to be booted? | 11:54 |
| garandil | The current BIOS should have a flash option | 11:55 |
| ObrienDave | umm, it should be transferred to USB as an image file. likely with unetbootin, yumi, etc. | 11:55 |
| garandil | Where it can read *.bin files from a certain FS type of USB storage | 11:56 |
| xubuntu916 | so these .exe files should be transfered into .iso? | 11:58 |
| ObrienDave | noooo, they might be windows executable. i've seen that before | 11:59 |
| xubuntu916 | Hopefully I won't destroy BIOS completely.. but before I do it. Does anyone know how to get rid of the netbook battery problem? I have gor Acer aspire on 521, before switching to xubuntu, laptop was running on win 7 and I was able to charge my battery. Now when the cable is out, laptop switches off immediately. | 12:07 |
| ObrienDave | could be a bad battery. they don't last forever especially if left on the charger for months at a time | 12:08 |
| ObrienDave | killed more than one battery that way | 12:08 |
| xubuntu916 | you might be right, however plenty of acer/ubuntu users had the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1558296&page=2&p=10126099#post10126099 however due to my limited knowledge i dont know how to install these patches https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15707 on kernel | 12:16 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 15707 in EC "_REG evaluation required while no EC OperationRegion" [Normal,Resolved: code_fix] | 12:16 |
| xubuntu916 | if anyone could explain me in a simple way how to put this patch through kernel i would be grateful | 12:21 |
| lakechfoma | hey so i had the live cd running on a laptop which i then (without thinking) closed and removed the drive | 12:23 |
| knome | "simple way", "patch through kernel"? nope. | 12:23 |
| lakechfoma | upon opening the machine i realized that A i didnt need the live OS anymore and B it probably wouldnt work right anyway | 12:24 |
| lakechfoma | so i shut it down | 12:24 |
| lakechfoma | the shut down hung | 12:24 |
| lakechfoma | so ye olde truste "hold down the power button" ensued | 12:24 |
| lakechfoma | but that does nothing. | 12:24 |
| lakechfoma | how is that possible and what do i do? | 12:25 |
| ObrienDave | hold the button down longer? | 12:29 |
| byt3bl33d3r | hi | 13:06 |
| byt3bl33d3r | does anyone now how to change the background of xflock? | 13:07 |
| Azelphur | byt3bl33d3r: I don't know the answer, but I have a point in the right direction, xflock isn't actually a lock screen, it just invokes whatever you have installed (light-locker, xscreensaver, etc) | 13:09 |
| Azelphur | I think light-locker is the default, so you probably wanna search around for changing the background of light-locker, rather than xflock. | 13:10 |
| byt3bl33d3r | Azelphur : ah ok thanks.. i had to remove light-locker because it kept crashing X for some reason.. so now i have gnome-screensaver | 13:14 |
| Azelphur | righto, then yea you'll wanna research changing it for gnome-screensaver | 13:14 |
| cfhowlett | byt3bl33d3r, lightlocker and screensaver definitely have conflict potential. | 13:17 |
| Azelphur | cfhowlett: he said he removed it | 13:17 |
| cfhowlett | Azelphur, ah. thanks. | 13:18 |
| cfhowlett | Azelphur, I've got ubuntustudio = xubuntu + lightlocker and xscreensaver. xubuntu recommends xscreensaver removal. | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | I use xscreensaver myself, light locker seems to nuke my audio | 13:19 |
| Azelphur | which I'm unsure is a feature or a bug | 13:19 |
| ObrienDave | feature ;P | 13:19 |
| ochosi | Azelphur: http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ | 13:23 |
| Azelphur | ochosi: feature then, cool :) | 13:24 |
| byt3bl33d3r | ok im stuck lol | 13:30 |
| byt3bl33d3r | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_tips#Change_gnome-screensaver_background | 13:30 |
| byt3bl33d3r | /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome doesnt exisist on my system | 13:31 |
| byt3bl33d3r | neither does /usr/share/gnome-screensaver | 13:31 |

| monkeynaut | check out this screenshot of my chromium address bar. is this the normal appearance for the font size? i think it is, but want to make sure there isn't a configuration on my machine that is causing it. it's nit-picky, but i wish i could shrink that font size a bit: http://i.imgur.com/gc5U4wQ.png | 14:07 |

| writing_novel | Bluesabre: Your one liners almost worked, although I did get the look and feel I was looking for it did report an error. | 23:56 |
| writing_novel | I got some error with regard to the xfconfd | 23:58 |
| writing_novel | I would have to reinstall (which I don't mind to do) the Xubuntu again to recreate it (I had been installing and deleting Xubuntu in different scenarios anyway( | 23:59 |
