deshipu | nodedfree: or add the directory to your PATH variable | 08:50 |
nodedfree | deshipu, thx. the solution was to create an alias into the bash | 08:51 |

mpmc | Anyone else having issues with Bluetooth audio? | 11:46 |
bazhang | !details | mpmc | 11:47 |
ubottu | mpmc: 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) | 11:47 |
mpmc | bazhang: Oh Hi fancy seeing you in here, I'm able to get my bluetooth speaker to work, but I can't send the audio to it as it doesn't appear in pavucontrol, I've installed all required packages but no dice. | 11:50 |
bazhang | mpmc, is it on a hub? | 11:51 |
mpmc | bazhang: if you mean usb then yes. | 11:52 |
bazhang | mpmc, I mean a hub that allows multiple devices (usb) , kind of like an extension cord, if you catch my meaning | 11:53 |
mpmc | bazhang: It's a small dongle that's connected to my pc at the front. | 11:56 |
bazhang | ok then, sorry misunderstood | 11:56 |
mpmc | bazhang: I'm pretty sure they are classed as usb hubs though. | 11:57 |
mpmc | actually, I've just realized that I'd changed the motherboard on the machine, which has one of those mini-pcie wifi/bluetooth cards :/ | 12:00 |
bazhang | that could be causing some confusion then | 12:01 |
bazhang | could you blacklist the module for it, assuming it's not shared with the usb one | 12:01 |
mpmc | I've disconnected the usb one. | 12:02 |
mpmc | It's connected and setup correctly, just pavucontrol doesn't see it. | 12:02 |
bazhang | perhaps a simple modprobe then | 12:04 |
mpmc | I'm now getting a stream setup error >.< | 12:04 |
bazhang | ack | 12:06 |

mpmc | I've got the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth installed, anything missing? | 12:07 |
bazhang | ack, from syn/ack | 12:16 |
mpmc | Good news, I finally got bluetooth audio working.. needed to load the bluetooth module with pactl on each boot.. blah | 12:25 |

xubuntu798 | im new to xubuntu and i want to set proxy address for my hot spot. How do i do that | 18:10 |
GridCube | !proxy | 18:12 |
GridCube | mmm | 18:12 |
GridCube | !aptproxy | 18:13 |
ubottu | apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 18:13 |
GridCube | mmmm no thats not it | 18:13 |
brainwash | google "xubuntu proxy" | 18:14 |
brainwash | ;) | 18:14 |
xubuntu798 | i have a ok i ll google xubunto proxy should i add address? | 18:15 |
brainwash | sure, try different search queries | 18:17 |

nahoskins | hello all | 18:42 |
ct95 | Hi all, I have problems in getting intel wireless 7260, does somebody have a fix for this? Thants | 18:42 |
ct95 | I'm running xubuntu 14.04 | 18:43 |
nahoskins | got a particular problem with a macbook 6,2 not playing with the nvidia proprietary drivers, been trying to fix this on and off for 6 months, if someone could point me at the right link id appreciate it, my google skills have only turned up unanswered questions :( | 18:43 |
voidvoid | hello | 19:24 |
voidvoid | i have 2 win partitions i want to install xubuntu in sda3 and with the free space make a swap | 19:24 |
voidvoid | the problem is when i do a primari partition in sda3 with the free space dont let me do a aprtition for the swap | 19:25 |
voidvoid | its ok if i install xubuntu in a logical partition ? | 19:25 |
David-A_ | voidvoid: xubuntu as such will work in a logical partition. (I am not sure, but maybe some old bios can cause problems) | 19:30 |
voidvoid | and it can boot along windows ? | 19:30 |
voidvoid | *alonside | 19:31 |
David-A_ | voidvoid: it should, yes | 19:31 |
voidvoid | :) good | 19:31 |
David-A_ | voidvoid: do you have an unused partition sda4 after sda3, or is the space after sda3 really free, as in not even defined as a partition? | 19:32 |
jhutchins | How do I get screensavers (like slideshow) in 14.04? All I seem to have is "lightlocker" which simply blanks the screen. | 20:34 |
brainwash | jhutchins: install xscreensaver and disable light-locker | 20:39 |
jhutchins | brainwash: Where do I disable it? I had xscreensaver before the upgrade... | 20:42 |
jhutchins | brainwash: But you are correct, ti is removed. | 20:43 |
brainwash | jhutchins: settings manager > light locker settings | 20:43 |
brainwash | or simply remove light-locker if you don't want to use it anymore | 20:43 |
jhutchins | brainwash: I should have a screensaver setting once it's installed? | 20:43 |
brainwash | I guess so, there should be a new entry in the settings manager | 20:44 |
jhutchins | Doesn't seem to be one, I'll see about restarting. (As I recall xscreensaver has to start before the session does). | 21:03 |
jhutchins | It seems ubuntu thinks it knows what's good for you. No music if your screensaver comes on, because we thing it should stop! | 21:08 |
jhutchins | No pretty images on your screensaver. If you're not using your computer it should be OFF! | 21:08 |
brainwash | please read http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/ | 21:09 |
jhutchins | Myself, I frequently use one of my computers for a slideshow and/or radio when I'm doing something else (or using a different computer). | 21:09 |
brainwash | so, installing and configuring xscreensaver did not solve your problem? | 21:09 |
jhutchins | There's no GUI link to the settings, you run xscreensaver-demo from a console. | 21:25 |
jhutchins | Now we'll see if it kicks in after the set 3 minutes. | 21:25 |
jhutchins | Hm, nope. | 21:29 |
jhutchins | While I realize that the need for a real "screensaver" is met by a blank screen, and nobody runs CRTs any more, the low power cost of an LED/LCD screen make it attractive as a piece of office art for a lot of people. I use a reserve computer for that, incuding some artistic modules and a slideshow. I see now what people have been talking about with the Gnome developers' attitude toward user preferences. | 21:32 |
brainwash | jhutchins: did you make sure that xscreensaver was launched properly (on session start)? | 21:37 |
jhutchins | It appears to be running - xscreensaver says it is on 0:0 | 21:37 |
brainwash | then it should work | 21:38 |
jhutchins | Doesn't. I'll just run a slideshow. | 21:44 |
knosys | Hi guys. I am having problems with my partitions table. Its dualboot, win7 and ubuntu. http://paste.ubuntu.com/ . Thats fstab, and also output from fdisk -l. | 21:46 |
ObrienDave | knosys, helps if we have the complete URL :)) | 21:47 |
knosys | my partition table should look like this, in this order: 100 MB NTFS win boot -> 178gb win7 OS -> 100 GB NTFS /storage -> 110GB ext4 / -> 8 gb swap -> 110GB /home | 21:48 |
knosys | lol sorry | 21:48 |
knosys | i have just noticed | 21:48 |
knosys | sec | 21:48 |
knosys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8481869/ | 21:48 |
knosys | there it is | 21:48 |
ObrienDave | \o/ :) | 21:48 |
knosys | =) | 21:48 |
knosys | but i think its something weird because | 21:49 |
knosys | dev/sda3 should be the same as dev/sda5 | 21:50 |
knosys | doesnt it? | 21:50 |
knosys | actually... it should be dev/sda2 ... because sda0 its winBOOT, sda1 win7 main partition, and third should be this one, /storage | 21:51 |
ObrienDave | no, sda3 is the extended partition containing sda5, 6, 7, 8 | 21:51 |
knosys | Aaahh | 21:51 |
knosys | i get it | 21:51 |
knosys | also there should be 10gb unallocated space at the end | 21:52 |
ObrienDave | look at the block numbers, sda3 and 5 start on the same block. sda3 and 8 END on the same block | 21:52 |
knosys | i did it reading some information, if in the future i have diskspace problems in any on my ext4 partitions i should be able to add that unallocated 10gb | 21:53 |
knosys | mmm | 21:53 |
knosys | let me check | 21:53 |
knosys | yes, it takes from sda3 to sda8 right? | 21:54 |
knosys | its all the size of sda3 | 21:54 |
ObrienDave | sorry 3 and 5 are 2 blocks different | 21:54 |
knosys | that is not a problem , right? | 21:54 |
ObrienDave | no. that's where the table for the extended resides. not a problem | 21:55 |
knosys | by the way there is some spanish error text just under sda3 : Partition 3 will not start on physical sector boundary | 21:55 |
ObrienDave | oh, thought that was Italian LOL | 21:56 |
ObrienDave | any way, that should not be a problem | 21:57 |
jhutchins | knosys: One of those is your extended partition base. | 21:57 |
knosys | so in this line UUID=9A35-A6B2 /storage ntfs-3g defaults,windows_names,locale=es_ES.utf8 0 0 | 21:57 |
knosys | of the fstab should be any problem | 21:57 |
jhutchins | knosys: Is something not working right, or are you just not understanding what you see? | 21:57 |
knosys | the base (something like the mother right?) , would be sda3, and sda5 its just the first "child"? | 21:58 |
ObrienDave | sorry, i do not understand fstab fully, but it seems fstab is not seeing the Win partitions | 21:58 |
knosys | But actually i can open all of them, in the X windows | 21:58 |
knosys | of xfce | 21:58 |
knosys | i have allof them in the left navigation menu | 21:59 |
ObrienDave | ok, is everything working as it should? | 21:59 |
knosys | it said , in the terminal , before i login in ubuntu, an error message similar to: 9A35-A6B2 could not be found | 22:00 |
knosys | and /storage will not be mounted, press S to login without it, or ... other combination to fix it manually | 22:00 |
knosys | well.. its not literally the error message, but it was something like that. | 22:01 |
knosys | i loged in, and all is working fine | 22:01 |
knosys | just, when i make fdisk -l there is that error message: Partition 3 will not start on physical sector boundary | 22:01 |
knosys | maybe its not an error, just information | 22:02 |
ObrienDave | pastebin lsblk please | 22:02 |
knosys | okay | 22:02 |
knosys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8481949/ | 22:03 |
ObrienDave | according to that there is no /storage | 22:03 |
knosys | /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6 tat should be | 22:04 |
knosys | that* | 22:04 |
knosys | sda5 | 22:04 |
knosys | uhm | 22:04 |
knosys | what if i just remove the line from fstab... probably i wouldnt be able to navigate to it anymore, right? | 22:05 |
ObrienDave | that i do not know. fstab is way beyond my knowledge | 22:05 |
knosys | oki | 22:06 |
knosys | well i could keep pressing 'S' before OS login | 22:06 |
knosys | just wanted to clear this out for myself | 22:07 |
ObrienDave | you might try changing /storage to /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6. i can't tell you it would work | 22:07 |
knosys | uhm, not bad! | 22:08 |
knosys | is it possible that the problem is that folder doesnt exist | 22:08 |
knosys | and my user doesnt have permissions to writte over / | 22:08 |
ObrienDave | sounds reasionable | 22:08 |
ObrienDave | *reasonable | 22:08 |
knosys | Aaahh it could be | 22:08 |
knosys | i will create sudo mkdir /storage | 22:08 |
knosys | and reboot | 22:08 |
knosys | already exists | 22:09 |
ObrienDave | i would not know if that would work either | 22:09 |
knosys | and if i go inside storage, there are 100gb there... | 22:10 |
knosys | there are different | 22:10 |
knosys | then i do not understand what it looks like, the partition table | 22:11 |
ObrienDave | and, unfortunately, i don't know anything about fstab to tell you how or what to edit | 22:11 |
knosys | the /storage is a ghost | 22:12 |
knosys | there are 100gb there, but then there is /media/knosys/2D246.... that its the real drive, because there is some files i recognize | 22:13 |
knosys | the real partition i mean* | 22:13 |
ObrienDave | seems like editing fstab to change /storage to /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6 might work. i can't say for sure | 22:13 |
knosys | okay thanks i will try that. | 22:14 |
ObrienDave | i can't promise it will work | 22:15 |
knosys | no worries, rebooting | 22:15 |
knosys | back. didnt work. | 22:18 |
ObrienDave | dang. well was worth a shot | 22:18 |
knosys | yes it did | 22:18 |
knosys | 9A35-A6B2 i dont know, but it seems it have a problem finding that | 22:19 |
ObrienDave | pastebin fstab again please | 22:19 |
knosys | i will try to mount all , to check the error again. | 22:19 |
knosys | ok | 22:19 |
knosys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482023/ | 22:20 |
ObrienDave | the UUID is wrong, i think | 22:21 |
ObrienDave | pastebin blkid please | 22:22 |
knosys | sec | 22:22 |
knosys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482043/ i think this is interesting. This is startup message, mount -a try to mount all inside fstab file i think | 22:25 |
knosys | there is the main error message | 22:25 |
knosys | now ill pastebin blkid | 22:25 |
knosys | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482050/ | 22:26 |
garrie | Hiya. | 22:27 |
knosys | hello | 22:27 |
knosys | maybe im not using well the ntfs-3g feature? | 22:27 |
ObrienDave | try edit UUID=9A35-A6B2 to UUID=2D246E62365E46A6 | 22:30 |
knosys | hey what if instead of an UUID, i try to identify by dev/sda5 , isnt that possible? | 22:30 |
knosys | oki | 22:30 |
ObrienDave | UUID is safer | 22:30 |
knosys | mmm but if i get wrong | 22:30 |
knosys | wouldnt i mess the harddrive? | 22:30 |
ObrienDave | UUID will NEVER change for a device | 22:30 |
ObrienDave | no, fstab has nothing to do with the partition table on the drive | 22:31 |
knosys | same | 22:32 |
knosys | doesnt find the file or directory | 22:32 |
ObrienDave | grrr, sorry, i'm out of ideas | 22:32 |
knosys | mmm | 22:32 |
knosys | wait | 22:32 |
knosys | its different. Only error is directory | 22:32 |
knosys | not about the uuid anymore | 22:32 |
ObrienDave | ok, change directory back to /storage | 22:33 |
knosys | ill edit again, this time mount | 22:33 |
knosys | yeah | 22:33 |
knosys | mount point | 22:33 |
* ObrienDave crosses fingers | 22:33 | |
knosys | done | 22:33 |
knosys | no error | 22:33 |
knosys | :D | 22:33 |
knosys | You were right, it was different uuid. I dont explain myself why it took that uuid | 22:34 |
knosys | thanks man!! | 22:34 |
ObrienDave | most welcome | 22:34 |
knosys | =) | 22:34 |
knosys | now look | 22:35 |
David-A_ | knosys: (old news?) UUID may change if you re-format a partition | 22:35 |
knosys | in the left pannel | 22:35 |
knosys | Aaaahh that was David-A_ | 22:35 |
knosys | because first was to fat32 | 22:35 |
knosys | then i changed to ntfs | 22:35 |
ObrienDave | but it did not update fstab. i don't know why | 22:35 |
knosys | now there is no ghosts anymore, that weird /media/knosys/2010202 dissapeared, and only /storage is mounted properly , with the files inside it | 22:36 |
garrie | Anyway to force my system to use a UK keyboard layout at ALL times? | 22:36 |
knosys | mmm i formated... how did i do it? probably from man anyhow | 22:36 |
knosys | garrie: loadkeys | 22:37 |
garrie | At the moment it's a UK layout after I log in, but during boot up (i.e. when I enter my encryption passphrase and login password), it's stuck on US layout. | 22:37 |
knosys | that is the right command i think | 22:37 |
garrie | knosys, thanks for the tip - could you be more specific? :) | 22:37 |
knosys | uk layout | 22:37 |
knosys | let me check | 22:37 |
knosys | terminal : sudo loadkeys uk | 22:38 |
knosys | you are crazy by the way, following my instructions ;D | 22:38 |
knosys | but lets try ! | 22:38 |
garrie | /usr/bin/ckbcomp: Can not find file "symbols/uk" in any known directory | 22:38 |
garrie | :( | 22:38 |
knosys | ok lets see | 22:38 |
knosys | look | 22:39 |
knosys | dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 22:39 |
knosys | try that | 22:39 |
knosys | select the right options | 22:40 |
knosys | and then loadkeys uk | 22:40 |
garrie | Haha, the "right" options? | 22:40 |
knosys | yeah , you know, your country and that stuff | 22:41 |
knosys | i dont remember well all | 22:41 |
knosys | i did it few days ago myself on ubuntu server distro, that didnt recognized my keyboard map either | 22:41 |
garrie | hmm | 22:41 |
garrie | Well, it didn't actually ask me anythjing about country, etc. | 22:41 |
garrie | But, I selected all the default options and tried loadkeys again. | 22:42 |
garrie | Same error. | 22:42 |
garrie | /usr/bin/ckbcomp: Can not find file "symbols/uk" in any known directory | 22:42 |
knosys | ok | 22:42 |
knosys | wait | 22:42 |
knosys | there is other reconfigure option for keyboard | 22:42 |
knosys | i dont remember the command | 22:42 |
knosys | dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 22:42 |
knosys | maybe that one do the job | 22:43 |
ObrienDave | add sudo in front | 22:43 |
garrie | Everything was already set to "UK" in there. | 22:45 |
garrie | I've changed it to a slightly more accurate keyboard make/model. | 22:45 |
garrie | We'll see if that works, but not until tomorrow when I restart. | 22:45 |
garrie | So thanks for the help, hope it works. | 22:45 |
garrie | Or I'll have to kill you. | 22:45 |
knosys | xDD | 22:45 |
knosys | one day per each try... | 22:46 |
knosys | you should look for a better assistant then | 22:46 |
knosys | i dont want to get murderer | 22:46 |
garrie | lol | 22:46 |
garrie | Nobody wants to get murdered. | 22:46 |
garrie | That's what makes it so fun. | 22:46 |
knosys | just in case | 22:46 |
garrie | I just downloaded Goat Simulator on steam | 22:47 |
garrie | lmfao | 22:47 |
knosys | i seen that game publicity around | 22:47 |
knosys | its nice? | 22:47 |
knosys | well u havent tryed just yet i guess :P | 22:47 |

soulisson | Here the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482270/ | 23:28 |
knosys | garrie: maybe he could be referring about the murdering stuff.. also good manners are always appreciated :D | 23:29 |
garrie | knosys, fair enough... but still don't see how that's not "family friendly". | 23:30 |
garrie | Most kids I know capable of using a computer have seen the Saw movies. | 23:30 |
knosys | well, as you said, noone likes right? | 23:30 |
garrie | No one likes to BE murdered, I would imagine. | 23:30 |
knome | soulisson, ok, then go edit that file (sudo nanano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf) and remove all the lines except the first, THEN add the following lines: | 23:32 |
knome | soulisson, greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter | 23:32 |
knome | soulisson, user-session=xubuntu | 23:32 |
