[06:23] <Taehl> Anyone awake in here who knows anything about pyenv?
[07:18] <soman> Is 'kid3-qt' installed on 14.04.1 by default?

[07:46] <nodedfree> hi, how can i run bash script like service? just typing "myscript" instead "./myscript" for example
[07:50] <nodedfree> last line has invisible questionmark
[08:50] <deshipu> nodedfree: put it in one of the directiories from your PATH
[08:50] <deshipu> nodedfree: or add the directory to your PATH variable
[08:51] <nodedfree> deshipu, thx. the solution was to create an alias into the bash
[08:51] <deshipu> nodedfree: wat?
[08:52] <nodedfree> deshipu, alias that runs the bash script
[10:14] <netzhaut> hi guys. quick question about thunar: You know you can give custom emblems to files. Is it possible to give files a custom background color too?
[10:14] <netzhaut> I need something to highlight stuff

[11:46] <mpmc> Anyone else having issues with Bluetooth audio?
[11:47] <bazhang> !details | mpmc
[11:50] <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.
[11:51] <bazhang> mpmc, is it on a hub?
[11:52] <mpmc> bazhang: if you mean usb then yes.
[11:53] <bazhang> mpmc, I mean a hub that allows multiple devices (usb) , kind of like an extension cord, if you catch my meaning
[11:56] <mpmc> bazhang: It's a small dongle that's connected to my pc at the front.
[11:56] <bazhang> ok then, sorry misunderstood
[11:57] <mpmc> bazhang: I'm pretty sure they are classed as usb hubs though.
[12:00] <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 :/
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <mpmc> I've disconnected the usb one.
[12:02] <mpmc> It's connected and setup correctly, just pavucontrol doesn't see it.
[12:04] <bazhang> perhaps a simple modprobe then
[12:04] <mpmc> I'm now getting a stream setup error >.<
[12:06] <bazhang> ack
[12:07] <cfhowlett> !info ack
[12:07] <cfhowlett> !ack
[12:07] <cfhowlett> ??
[12:07] <mpmc> I've got the pulseaudio-module-bluetooth installed, anything missing?
[12:16] <bazhang> ack, from syn/ack
[12:25] <mpmc> Good news, I finally got bluetooth audio working.. needed to load the bluetooth module with pactl on each boot.. blah
[12:42] <EDinNY1> How do I right justify the items on a menu? The right most is an "Action Button"? Either that, or how do I make the "Window Buttons" take up all blank space?
[14:13] <nelsk> Hi there, just installed 14.04 on my macbook pro, is there a way to swap the function of the F keys so F1 etc. is default?

[18:42] <nahoskins> hello all
[18:42] <ct95> Hi all, I have problems in getting intel wireless 7260, does somebody have a fix for this? Thants
[18:43] <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 :(
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <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 ?
[19:30] <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 ?
[19:31] <voidvoid> *alonside
[19:31] <David-A_> voidvoid: it should, yes
[19:31] <voidvoid> :) good
[19:32] <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?
[20:34] <jhutchins> How do I get screensavers (like slideshow) in 14.04?  All I seem to have is "lightlocker" which simply blanks the screen.
[20:39] <brainwash> jhutchins: install xscreensaver and disable light-locker
[20:42] <jhutchins> brainwash: Where do I disable it?  I had xscreensaver before the upgrade...
[20:43] <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?
[20:44] <brainwash> I guess so, there should be a new entry in the settings manager
[21:03] <jhutchins> Doesn't seem to be one, I'll see about restarting.  (As I recall xscreensaver has to start before the session does).
[21:08] <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!
[21:09] <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?
[21:25] <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.
[21:29] <jhutchins> Hm, nope.
[21:32] <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.
[21:37] <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
[21:38] <brainwash> then it should work
[21:44] <jhutchins> Doesn't.  I'll just run a slideshow.
[21:46] <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.
[21:47] <ObrienDave> knosys, helps if we have the complete URL :))
[21:48] <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> =)
[21:49] <knosys> but i think its something weird because
[21:50] <knosys> dev/sda3 should be the same as dev/sda5
[21:50] <knosys> doesnt it?
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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
[21:53] <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
[21:54] <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?
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <ObrienDave> oh, thought that was Italian LOL
[21:57] <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?
[21:58] <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
[21:59] <knosys> i have allof them in the left navigation menu
[21:59] <ObrienDave> ok, is everything working as it should?
[22:00] <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
[22:01] <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
[22:02] <knosys> maybe its not an error, just information
[22:02] <ObrienDave> pastebin lsblk please
[22:02] <knosys> okay
[22:03] <knosys> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8481949/
[22:03] <ObrienDave> according to that there is no /storage
[22:04] <knosys> /media/knosys/2D246E62365E46A6 tat should be
[22:04] <knosys> that*
[22:04] <knosys> sda5
[22:04] <knosys> uhm
[22:05] <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
[22:06] <knosys> oki
[22:06] <knosys> well i could keep pressing 'S' before OS login
[22:07] <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
[22:08] <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
[22:09] <knosys> already exists
[22:09] <ObrienDave> i would not know if that would work either
[22:10] <knosys> and if i go inside storage, there are 100gb there...
[22:10] <knosys> there are different
[22:11] <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
[22:12] <knosys> the /storage is a ghost
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <knosys> okay thanks i will try that.
[22:15] <ObrienDave> i can't promise it will work
[22:15] <knosys> no worries, rebooting
[22:18] <knosys> back. didnt work.
[22:18] <ObrienDave> dang. well was worth a shot
[22:18] <knosys> yes it did
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <knosys> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482023/
[22:21] <ObrienDave> the UUID is wrong, i think
[22:22] <ObrienDave> pastebin blkid please
[22:22] <knosys> sec
[22:25] <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
[22:26] <knosys> http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482050/
[22:27] <garrie> Hiya.
[22:27] <knosys> hello
[22:27] <knosys> maybe im not using well the ntfs-3g feature?
[22:30] <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
[22:31] <ObrienDave> no, fstab has nothing to do with the partition table on the drive
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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> =)
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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
[22:38] <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
[22:39] <knosys> look
[22:39] <knosys> dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[22:39] <knosys> try that
[22:40] <knosys> select the right options
[22:40] <knosys> and then loadkeys uk
[22:40] <garrie> Haha, the "right" options?
[22:41] <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.
[22:42] <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
[22:43] <knosys> maybe that one do the job
[22:43] <ObrienDave> add sudo in front
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <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
[22:48] <knome> garrie, please remember this is a family-friendly channel and reconsider your discussion themes and language
[22:48] <knome> and for general chatter, we have #xubuntu-offtopic (which is also family-friendly fwiw)
[23:18] <soulisson> Hi, i just installed Xubuntu and i forgot to enable authentication how can i enable it please ?
[23:18] <knosys> Hey soulisson in the whisker menu, on the bottom right corner you will see "See all configuration" button
[23:19] <soulisson> knosys, where do i go after ?
[23:19] <knosys> there is "users and groups" (i dont have OS in english)
[23:20] <knosys> there will popup a window with your user's list at the left , and configuration for the selected one at the right
[23:20] <knosys> there you should be able to change it
[23:20] <knosys> to add a password
[23:21] <knosys> soulisson: is it possible that i understand you wrong?
[23:21] <knosys> about what you asked i mean
[23:21] <soulisson> knosys, no you understood me right
[23:22] <soulisson> knosys, weird the ask the password at connection is enabled
[23:22] <knosys> alternatively would be great to learn the Terminal way
[23:22] <knosys> ill look for it
[23:22] <knosys> uhmm
[23:23] <soulisson> Maybe it's because, it's my first start?
[23:23] <knosys> check inside it
[23:23] <knosys> i mean, use "Change"
[23:23] <knosys> Ah no, nvm
[23:23] <knosys> thats password change
[23:23] <knosys> sorry i think im not able to help u forward than that
[23:24] <knome> soulisson, run this in terminal: cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | pastebinit
[23:24] <knome> and paste us the URL
[23:25] <soulisson> I have the following line: autologin-user= soulisson
[23:26] <soulisson> autologin-session=lightdm-autologin
[23:27] <garrie> knome, what did I say that wasn't family friendly?
[23:28] <soulisson> Here the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482270/
[23:29] <knosys> garrie: maybe he could be referring about the murdering stuff.. also good manners are always appreciated :D
[23:30] <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.
[23:32] <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] <knome> soulisson, "sudo nano ..." too
[23:33] <knome> soulisson, basically, you want this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8482296/
[23:34] <soulisson> knome, thank you i'll try it
[23:34] <knome> garrie, knosys: pretty please, take that to #xubuntu-offtopic
[23:34] <knome> soulisson, no problem, that should definitely work
[23:49] <knome> ahklerner, something specific you're trying to do?
[23:49] <ahklerner> sorry channel is set to autoload and i am having an issue with pidgin trying to debug
[23:50] <knome> ahklerner, it's ok, but if the debugging seems to take some time, please consider turning the autoload off for the while
