ubottumpmc: 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
mpmcbazhang: 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
bazhangmpmc, is it on a hub?11:51
mpmcbazhang: if you mean usb then yes.11:52
bazhangmpmc, I mean a hub that allows multiple devices (usb) , kind of like an extension cord, if you catch my meaning11:53
mpmcbazhang: It's a small dongle that's connected to my pc at the front.11:56
bazhangok then, sorry misunderstood11:56
mpmcbazhang: I'm pretty sure they are classed as usb hubs though.11:57
mpmcactually, 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
bazhangthat could be causing some confusion then12:01
bazhangcould you blacklist the module for it, assuming it's not shared with the usb one12:01
mpmcI've disconnected the usb one.12:02
mpmcIt's connected and setup correctly, just pavucontrol doesn't see it.12:02
bazhangperhaps a simple modprobe then12:04

ct95Hi all, I have problems in getting intel wireless 7260, does somebody have a fix for this? Thants18:42
ct95I'm running xubuntu 14.0418:43

voidvoidhello19:24
voidvoidi have 2 win partitions i want to install xubuntu in sda3 and with the free space make a swap19:24
voidvoidthe problem is when i do a primari partition in sda3 with the free space dont let me do a aprtition for the swap19:25
voidvoidits 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
voidvoidand it can boot along windows ?19:30
voidvoid*alonside19:31
David-A_voidvoid: it should, yes19:31
voidvoid:) good19:31
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
jhutchinsHow do I get screensavers (like slideshow) in 14.04?  All I seem to have is "lightlocker" which simply blanks the screen.20:34
brainwashjhutchins: install xscreensaver and disable light-locker20:39
jhutchinsbrainwash: Where do I disable it?  I had xscreensaver before the upgrade...20:42
jhutchinsbrainwash: But you are correct, ti is removed.20:43
brainwashjhutchins: settings manager > light locker settings20:43
brainwashor simply remove light-locker if you don't want to use it anymore20:43
jhutchinsbrainwash: I should have a screensaver setting once it's installed?20:43
brainwashI guess so, there should be a new entry in the settings manager20:44
jhutchinsDoesn'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
jhutchinsNo pretty images on your screensaver.  If you're not using your computer it should be OFF!21:08
brainwashplease read http://xubuntu.org/news/screen-locking-in-xubuntu-14-04/21:09
jhutchinsMyself, 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
brainwashso, installing and configuring xscreensaver did not solve your problem?21:09
jhutchinsThere's no GUI link to the settings, you run xscreensaver-demo from a console.21:25
jhutchinsNow we'll see if it kicks in after the set 3 minutes.21:25
jhutchinsHm, nope.21:29
jhutchinsWhile 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
brainwashjhutchins: did you make sure that xscreensaver was launched properly (on session start)?21:37
jhutchinsIt appears to be running - xscreensaver says it is on 0:021:37
brainwashthen it should work21:38
jhutchinsDoesn't.  I'll just run a slideshow.21:44
knosysHi 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
ObrienDaveknosys, helps if we have the complete URL :))21:47
knosysmy 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 /home21:48
knosyslol sorry21:48
knosysi have just noticed21:48
knosyssec21:48
knosyshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8481869/21:48
knosysthere it is21:48
ObrienDave\o/ :)21:48
knosys=)21:48
knosysbut i think its something weird because21:49
knosysdev/sda3 should be the same as dev/sda521:50
knosysdoesnt it?21:50
knosysactually... it should be dev/sda2 ... because sda0 its winBOOT, sda1 win7 main partition, and third should be this one, /storage21:51
ObrienDaveno, sda3 is the extended partition containing sda5, 6, 7, 821:51
knosysAaahh21:51
knosysi get it21:51
knosysalso there should be 10gb unallocated space at the end21:52
ObrienDavelook at the block numbers, sda3 and 5 start on the same block. sda3 and 8 END on the same block21:52
knosysi 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 10gb21:53
knosysmmm21:53
knosyslet me check21:53
knosysyes, it takes from sda3 to sda8 right?21:54
knosysits all the size of sda321:54
ObrienDavesorry 3 and 5 are 2 blocks different21:54
knosysthat is not a problem , right?21:54
ObrienDaveno. that's where the table for the extended resides. not a problem21:55
knosysby the way there is some spanish error text just under sda3 : Partition 3 will not start on physical sector boundary21:55
ObrienDaveoh, thought that was Italian LOL21:56
ObrienDaveany way, that should not be a problem21:57
jhutchinsknosys: One of those is your extended partition base.21:57
knosysso in this line UUID=9A35-A6B2      /storage  ntfs-3g  defaults,windows_names,locale=es_ES.utf8  0 021:57
knosysof the fstab should be any problem21:57
jhutchinsknosys: Is something not working right, or are you just not understanding what you see?21:57
knosysthe base (something like the mother right?) , would be sda3, and sda5 its just the first "child"?21:58
ObrienDavesorry, i do not understand fstab fully, but it seems fstab is not seeing the Win partitions21:58
knosysBut actually i can open all of them, in the X windows21:58
knosysof xfce21:58
knosysi have allof them in the left navigation menu21:59
ObrienDaveok, is everything working as it should?21:59
knosysit said , in the terminal , before i login in ubuntu, an error message similar to: 9A35-A6B2 could not be found22:00
knosysand /storage will not be mounted, press S to login without it, or ... other combination to fix it manually22:00
knosyswell.. its not literally the error message, but it was something like that.22:01
knosysi loged in, and all is working fine22:01
knosysjust, when i make fdisk -l there is that error message: Partition 3 will not start on physical sector boundary22:01
knosysmaybe its not an error, just information22:02
ObrienDavepastebin lsblk please22:02
knosysokay22:02
knosyshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8481949/22:03
ObrienDaveaccording to that there is no /storage22:03
knosys/media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6 tat should be22:04
knosysthat*22:04
knosyssda522:04
knosysuhm22:04
knosyswhat if i just remove the line from fstab... probably i wouldnt be able to navigate to it anymore, right?22:05
ObrienDavethat i do not know. fstab is way beyond my knowledge22:05
knosysoki22:06
knosyswell i could keep pressing 'S' before OS login22:06
knosysjust wanted to clear this out for myself22:07
ObrienDaveyou might try changing /storage to /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6. i can't tell you it would work22:07
knosysuhm, not bad!22:08
knosysis it possible that the problem is that folder doesnt exist22:08
knosysand my user doesnt have permissions to writte over /22:08
ObrienDavesounds reasionable22:08
ObrienDave*reasonable22:08
knosysAaahh it could be22:08
knosysi will create sudo mkdir /storage22:08
knosysand reboot22:08
knosysalready exists22:09
ObrienDavei would not know if that would work either22:09
knosysand if i go inside storage, there are 100gb there...22:10
knosysthere are different22:10
knosysthen i do not understand what it looks like, the partition table22:11
ObrienDaveand, unfortunately, i don't know anything about fstab to tell you how or what to edit22:11
knosysthe /storage is a ghost22:12
knosysthere are 100gb there, but then there is /media/knosys/2D246.... that its the real drive, because there is some files i recognize22:13
knosysthe real partition i mean*22:13
ObrienDaveseems like editing fstab to change /storage to /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6 might work. i can't say for sure22:13
knosysokay thanks i will try that.22:14
ObrienDavei can't promise it will work22:15
knosysno worries, rebooting22:15
knosysback. didnt work.22:18
ObrienDavedang. well was worth a shot22:18
knosysyes it did22:18
knosys9A35-A6B2 i dont know, but it seems it have a problem finding that22:19
ObrienDavepastebin fstab again please22:19
knosysi will try to mount all , to check the error again.22:19
knosysok22:19
knosyshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8482023/22:20
ObrienDavethe UUID is wrong, i think22:21
ObrienDavepastebin blkid please22:22
knosyssec22:22
knosyshttp://paste.ubuntu.com/8482043/ i think this is interesting. This is startup message, mount -a try to mount all inside fstab file i think22:25
knosysthere is the main error message22:25
knosysnow ill pastebin blkid22:25

knosysmaybe im not using well the ntfs-3g feature?22:27
ObrienDavetry edit UUID=9A35-A6B2 to UUID=2D246E62365E46A622:30
knosyshey what if instead of an UUID, i try to identify by dev/sda5 , isnt that possible?22:30
knosysoki22:30
ObrienDaveUUID is safer22:30
knosysmmm but if i get wrong22:30
knosyswouldnt i mess the harddrive?22:30
ObrienDaveUUID will NEVER change for a device22:30
ObrienDaveno, fstab has nothing to do with the partition table on the drive22:31
knosyssame22:32
knosysdoesnt find the file or directory22:32
ObrienDavegrrr, sorry, i'm out of ideas22:32
knosysmmm22:32
knosyswait22:32
knosysits different. Only error is directory22:32
knosysnot about the uuid anymore22:32
ObrienDaveok, change directory back to /storage22:33

knosysthanks man!!22:34
ObrienDavemost welcome22:34

knosysbecause first was to fat3222:35
knosysthen i changed to ntfs22:35
ObrienDavebut it did not update fstab. i don't know why22:35
knosysnow there is no ghosts anymore, that weird /media/knosys/2010202 dissapeared, and only /storage is mounted properly , with the files inside it22:36
garrieAnyway to force my system to use a UK keyboard layout at ALL times?22:36
knosysmmm i formated... how did i do it? probably from man anyhow22:36
knosysgarrie: loadkeys22:37
garrieAt 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
knosysthat is the right command i think22:37
garrieknosys, thanks for the tip - could you be more specific? :)22:37
