=== zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath [00:58] * RedDeath Back === mtift is now known as mtift|afk [02:19] Can I ask a quick question here [02:20] bluesabre gave me this one liner: [02:20] 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] 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] any ideas? [02:37] aloysius! [03:14] I am having DNS issues [03:14] it is taking a long time to resolve IP's [03:15] I am running 14.04 [03:15] I am using google's public DNS servers to test them [03:15] but no matter which DNS server I use, I experience the same behaviour [03:16] How are you testing? [03:16] with firefox [03:16] ;; Query time: 52 msec ;; SERVER: 8.8.8.8#53(8.8.8.8) [03:16] Try dig. [03:16] and nslookup [03:16] also [03:16] when I tried to connect to irc [03:17] it could not resolve irc.freenode.net [03:17] nslookup could not as well [03:17] I think it has something to do with resolver.conf === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [03:17] but I dont know enough about it [03:18] 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] See also http://docs.xubuntu.org/1404/internet-networks.html#network-troubleshooting [03:18] !resolvconf [03:18] 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] xubuntu651: Hello. [03:20] hi guys..why whenever I click on the whisker menu my PC turns to black screen then profile login menu again [03:22] ok [03:22] so, right now I am getting time outs when I ping google.com [03:22] if I ping 8.8.8.8 it is working [03:24] it also just takes a very long time to surf the web [03:24] as every page I go to seems to take forever to load [03:25] and the status bar in FF says, "Looking up $website ..." [03:33] I found this article that might resolve my issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/134578/slow-wired-connection-dns-issue [03:33] I just don't know how to implement it === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [10:19] hi guys..I tried everything in the forums to solve my xubntu login loop [10:19] still to no avail [10:53] what login loop? [11:29] hello [11:29] anyone online? [11:29] nope [11:29] we're offline at the moment [11:29] daamn.. [11:30] nobody home but us chickens ;P [11:31] quick question, does anyone know how to update bios on xubunut? my netbook can't charge the battery unless i update bios.. [11:31] should be able to do flash from USB [11:33] most BIOS flash utilities are meant to be run from USB stick or floppies [11:33] I think the bios update was made for windows os , will it be a problem? [11:33] shouldn't be an issue [11:34] thank you very much i will try to do that [11:36] It might not be able to interact with the HW via Wine [11:36] USB flashing would be the safest way to go as BIOS upgrades potentially can brick your computer [11:54] when updating bios from usb, what format does it have to be, in order to be booted? [11:55] The current BIOS should have a flash option [11:55] umm, it should be transferred to USB as an image file. likely with unetbootin, yumi, etc. [11:56] Where it can read *.bin files from a certain FS type of USB storage [11:58] so these .exe files should be transfered into .iso? [11:59] noooo, they might be windows executable. i've seen that before [12:07] 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. [12:08] could be a bad battery. they don't last forever especially if left on the charger for months at a time [12:08] killed more than one battery that way [12:16] 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] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 15707 in EC "_REG evaluation required while no EC OperationRegion" [Normal,Resolved: code_fix] [12:21] if anyone could explain me in a simple way how to put this patch through kernel i would be grateful [12:23] hey so i had the live cd running on a laptop which i then (without thinking) closed and removed the drive [12:23] "simple way", "patch through kernel"? nope. [12:24] 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] so i shut it down [12:24] the shut down hung [12:24] so ye olde truste "hold down the power button" ensued [12:24] but that does nothing. [12:25] how is that possible and what do i do? [12:29] hold the button down longer? [13:06] hi [13:07] does anyone now how to change the background of xflock? [13:09] 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) [13:10] I think light-locker is the default, so you probably wanna search around for changing the background of light-locker, rather than xflock. [13:14] 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] righto, then yea you'll wanna research changing it for gnome-screensaver [13:17] byt3bl33d3r, lightlocker and screensaver definitely have conflict potential. [13:17] cfhowlett: he said he removed it [13:18] Azelphur, ah. thanks. [13:19] Azelphur, I've got ubuntustudio = xubuntu + lightlocker and xscreensaver. xubuntu recommends xscreensaver removal. [13:19] I use xscreensaver myself, light locker seems to nuke my audio [13:19] which I'm unsure is a feature or a bug [13:19] feature ;P [13:23] Azelphur: http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ [13:24] ochosi: feature then, cool :) [13:30] ok im stuck lol [13:30] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_tips#Change_gnome-screensaver_background [13:31] /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome doesnt exisist on my system [13:31] neither does /usr/share/gnome-screensaver === mtift|afk is now known as mtift [14:07] 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 === mtift is now known as mtift|afk === mtift|afk is now known as mtift === idleone_ is now known as io === zz_RedDeath is now known as RedDeath === mtift is now known as mtift|afk [17:24] Get Google chrome profile error every time I start it up === mtift|afk is now known as mtift === RedDeath is now known as zz_RedDeath [19:18] Why I always get skype tray context menu with only about 3 items and up and down buttons?
