[00:00] newtoubuntu: that's the keyboard shortcut, you can set it to whatever you want [00:00] The problem is that whenever I press the key to be recognized when I'm setting the shortcut, it brings up the Unity search function instead. [00:02] newtoubuntu: press on it once so it says w accelerator or whatever [00:02] then press the buttons you want [00:03] Pressed on it. [00:03] Whats next? [00:03] how do you uninstall software? [00:04] rambler2: you can use the software center or apt-get at the command line [00:04] after it says w accelerator, hold down the buttons you want to use as the keyboard shortcut [00:04] rambler2: how did you install it? lol [00:04] rambler2: how did you install it? [00:04] software center [00:04] rambler2: you can uninstall there too [00:04] There is no reaction when I hold down the key. [00:05] ty [00:05] rambler2: just search for the package again and click like you're going to install and you should see remove, np [00:06] newtoubuntu, it should change the text from Disabled to the key you assigned. [00:06] newtoubuntu: maybe the shortcut is already taken, try another combo [00:06] pavlos: The text does not change from disabled. [00:06] newtoubuntu: you need to hold the meta key like ctrl or alt or super/windows or whatever then hit some other key, I think there may be a problem with remapping the windows key itself [00:07] waffloj0ck: I can't hold down any other buttons when I'm assigning this key. I only want one key to have to be pressed. [00:08] waffej0ck: I'm planning to use the XPS 12 in tablet mode. [00:08] newtoubuntu, try to assign it to another key and see if that works. Maybe this key is particular to DELL [00:08] pavlos: Tried another key combo. Works perfectly. Just not the key I want. [00:09] is there a way on CLI to see what packages are in a ppa [00:10] I tried running xev in the terminal. The system recognizes the hardware key, but something is not happening that is not allowing it to work. [00:10] newtoubuntu: I've used stuff shown in this post before for mapping other keys http://askubuntu.com/questions/296155/how-can-i-remap-keyboard-keys that or xbindkeys I think was the other package that will let you take a more hands on approach [00:10] newtoubuntu: maybe it's already assigned [00:10] I think I may have to write a custom script. [00:11] newtoubuntu: yeah pretty sure the xbindkeys solution I was using for KDE for mapping some numkeys that weren't working correctly otherwise and ended up having a script to set that up on boot [00:12] How would I get it to work without installing anything, though? Is that possible? [00:14] I can show the results I get from running xev, if that would help. Not exactly tech-savvy, this is my first entry into using Linux, so a step-by-step instruction would help immensely. [00:16] newtoubuntu: think xmodmap is built in and allows you to map one key to another action think the post I linked above is probably as close as you'll find to a step by step, what exactly is it you're trying to do though === Joshua^Dunamis_i is now known as Joshua^Dunamis [00:17] newtoubuntu: which button do you want to use? [00:17] EriC^^: The XPS 12 has a Windows Key under the screen. I want to use that key. [00:17] if you don't use it for anything else, you could map it to a different unused shortcut button [00:17] wafflej0ck: I want to use the key mentioned to EriC^^ to bring up the onscreen keyboard on demand. [00:18] ok what's the keycode that xev gives? [00:18] newtoubuntu: okay gotcha [00:19] Where would I find the keycode? [00:19] newtoubuntu: type xev, press the button, should say keycode [00:20] rww, THE DEAL IS FUCKING OFF I WILL NOT BUY FREENODE SO SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS [00:20] Would it be under KeymapNotify? [00:20] newtoubuntu: also, press the other button you want and get it's name [00:20] hi everyone, i upgraded from 12.04.5 LTS to 14.04 LTS and it is very slow now. In this chat I see dots and have to go over with the mouse for the words to appear. [00:21] newtoubuntu: it's like this keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L) [00:21] it's around in the middle [00:21] Xheartt: try un-maximizing the client [00:21] goes a little smoother for me [00:21] how i do that? [00:22] how i do un-maximizing? [00:22] Xheartt: of the three buttons in top left corner, click the one with a square on it [00:22] click the square button next to minimize [00:22] So how do I upgrade to 14.10 ? [00:23] samthewildone: sudo do-release-upgrade [00:23] samthewildone@Olympus:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade [00:23] Checking for a new Ubuntu release [00:23] No new release found [00:23] buy freenode and shut the network down? what a clown! [00:23] try sudo apt-get update first [00:23] EriC^^: I can't seem to find the keycode result. Lemme do some more digging. [00:23] EriC^^, did that [00:24] fleetflame i can not see ur message if this chat scrolls [00:24] EriC^^, let me remind you that I'm on Ubuntu Gnome [00:24] samthewildone: try update-manager in the terminal [00:24] Xheartt: click on a different window and come back quickly [00:24] samthewildone: What returns -> grep Prompt= /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades < - ? [00:24] EriC^^, I think I have to wait till the devs push the gnome edition. [00:25] I had the same problem in Xchat on Ubuntu....but this is an old computer [00:25] Xheartt: which client are you using? [00:25] samthewildone: if you're on 14.04, edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change prompt=lts to prompt=normal [00:25] EriC^^: Hmm. I don't think it's there. The last line is PropertyNofiy event, serial 37 [00:25] EriC^^: I don't think it's being recognized by xev either. === magic is now known as Auv5 [00:25] i clicked on the top and clicked unmaximize it is much better now! [00:25] thanks [00:25] newtoubuntu: are other keys working? [00:26] eric how i check the client to let u know? [00:26] rww, I have it @ Prompt=never [00:26] EriC^^: The button is recognized somehow, it just brings up the Unity search function. All other keys on the keyboard are working. [00:26] samthewildone: change it to prompt=normal [00:26] Xheartt: are you on xchat? [00:26] yes [00:26] i can see the whole chat now after un maximize [00:26] EriC^^: I think I may be running xev wrong. Pressing other keys dosen't produce a response from the terminal. [00:26] Xheartt: great, you can use pageup/pagedown to scroll too [00:27] lol? [00:27] lol! [00:27] thanks [00:27] rww & EriC^^ thanks [00:27] no problem [00:27] yes it is an old computer [00:28] but it was running well with 12.04 LTS [00:28] newtoubuntu: try running xev, and putting the mouse over the white box [00:28] i'll be back in ~5 minutes [00:28] EriC^^: I get entries in the terminal from moving the mouse. [00:29] newtoubuntu, press F11, you should see keycode 95 [00:29] with 14.04 LTS the pages when closed fade away instead of closing fast [00:30] pavlos: Xev dosen't seem to recognize physical keypresses, only my touchpad movements. [00:30] Xheartt: I'm running 14.04 on a Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM....it taxes the computer pretty hard [00:30] I think this is an '09 computer === Auv5 is now known as magic [00:31] newtoubuntu: you should see a little window too with xev (or at least I do) === TheDuckDude is now known as DuckDude [00:31] newtoubuntu: if that window has focus (click on it) then the key strokes get captured [00:32] newtoubuntu: that said the windows key causes it to lose focus so might be a problem [00:32] this is intel celeron cpu 2.4 - 32bit... [00:32] hi [00:34] ? [00:34] wafflej0ck: I think I might have got it. Is is the numbers that appear in a a grid? [00:35] newtoubuntu: should actually say keycode next to it in the terminal with xev, you could also try, xmodmap -pk | grep -i super [00:35] after install 14.04 LTS for the first time is there something else i need to download? [00:36] newtoubuntu: some people here suggest opening a new X Session too so the thing capturing the keybinding right now doesn't get in the way of running xev http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/49650/how-to-get-keycodes-for-xmodmap [00:36] hello can anyone help me please [00:37] how do i install my wireless driver on Lubunto [00:37] anony: don't ask to ask, just ask! [00:37] Xheartt: have you checked the additional drivers to see if there are hardware/GPU drivers available? [00:37] wafflej0ck: I think I got it! Its keycode 133 on both the keypress event and keyrelease events. [00:37] ok fleetflame [00:37] No wafflejock [00:37] newtoubuntu: yeah sounds about right same thing here for my winkey [00:38] Xheartt: check that out first see if there are any suggested drivers for your hardware [00:38] what is the command on the terminal window? [00:38] Xheartt: more properly they are kernel modules I'm pretty sure but they call it Additional Drivers in the Unity Dash or applications [00:38] how do i install my wireless drivers on lubunto [00:39] i really do not know how to search for those drivers [00:39] any recommendations? [00:39] Xheartt: just hit winkey then type Additional Drivers [00:39] wafflej0ck: So would this mean I will have to reassign my super key? How would I go about doing that? [00:40] newtoubuntu: which key do you want it to be? [00:41] newtoubuntu: this shows how to change the mapping of the keys so it's mapped to some other key, I suppose you could map it to something you don't regularly use (maybe pause/break or something like that) then I imagine you'd be able to use the key mapping GUI tool to have it use that key [00:41] http://askubuntu.com/questions/296155/how-can-i-remap-keyboard-keys [00:41] ? [00:41] EriC^^: I would like to remap it to the left Alt key. Does Ubuntu differentiate between the left and right alt keys though? [00:41] anony: I can help you determine what hardware you have but you'll need to see if there are drivers available or if you have to use NDIS wrapper or some other way to get them working [00:42] anony: lately I haven't had problems with wifi though so not sure the best current approach to fixing it [00:42] anony: is it built in wireless or usb? [00:42] built in [00:42] anony, type lspci and find the wireless chipset you have, then search online to find drivers [00:42] its a hpp mini 110 [00:42] hp * [00:43] EriC^^ wafflej0ck: Would it be possible to make the two keys separate though? As in, the windows key on the screen being separate from the windows key on the keyboard. [00:43] Ok I just got a TP-link USB WiFi adapter for my PC. Ubuntu 14.04 is detecting the card fine and it's finding some of the networks in range, but it's refusing to connect to my actual WiFi router. The same card is connecting to the network fine in Windows, but when I try to use the nm-applet to connect to the network, firstly it doesn't come up in the list, then if I try to add it using "add hidden WiFi network", it will spin around for a while and then fail [00:43] to connect. Any ideas? [00:43] newtoubuntu: yes it does === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as Joshua^Dunamis_i [00:43] EriC^^: How would I go about doing that? [00:44] newtoubuntu: xmodmap -e "keycode 133=Alt_L" [00:44] newtoubuntu: it's not persistent though [00:44] EriC^^: I mean the two windows keys. Is that possible? Sorry for confusing you.

I want to also assign a second button, the screen rotate button as well. http://blog.jay.sh/ubuntu-12-10-on-the-dell-xps-12/ [00:47] EriC^^: But the pressing the screen rotate button comes out with keymap 133 too. [00:47] i'm not sure if this matters but in nm-applet the device calls itself a "RealTek USB Wlan" even though it's actually a TP-link [00:47] EriC^^: Any idea on how this person did it? [00:47] this is what it says [00:48] newtoubuntu: i think the keycode's are wrong [00:48] EriC^^: Am I doing something wrong in using xev?

[01:28] so left windows key to the button next to 1 [01:28] yeah, the tilde key, whatever thats called [01:28] sorry, typed 1 by accident [01:29] reading the documentation, it seems that xmodmap isnt used anymore [01:29] Hello [01:29] if i boot with recover and go to continue boot atleast i get a display but no compositing [01:30] newtoubuntu_: yeah not sure about that either way but used xbindkeys here in 12.04 and it worked fine === digifiv5e is now known as Guest57421 [01:31] newtoubuntu_: i don't think you can assign it to 2 buttons [01:31] not sure [01:31] newtoubuntu_: what do you want ctrl+ ` to do? [01:31] newtoubuntu_: used xbindkeys for setting up the keymappings for using the windows key and numpad keys to actions [01:31] newtoubuntu_: not sure about how to activate the on screen keyboard though [01:32] newtoubuntu_: are you using onboard? [01:32] wafflej0ck: the shortcut is built in [01:32] newtoubuntu_: or some other on screen keyboard app? [01:32] http://askubuntu.com/questions/73667/keyboard-shortcut-to-reveal-onscreen-keyboard [01:32] the onscreen keyboard that comes with ubuntu [01:33] newtoubuntu_: k [01:33] Can any one help me? my root partition is almost full and I am trying to increase its size... Here's the screenshot of my gparted http://imgur.com/Aaf4gDt, I have un allocated space of 20GB. So, can i extend my root partition using the unallocated space? [01:33] I plan to use this shortcut and assign ctrl + ` to it because the super key dosen't work [01:33] newtoubuntu_: looks like they're using onboard there [01:34] newtoubuntu_: appears to not be installed on 14.04 by default [01:34] wafflej0ck: its there for me [01:34] er at least not Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 [01:34] is xbindkeys a gui? [01:34] newtoubuntu_: naw it's just based on some config file you setup [01:34] i think that if it is I can figure it out easier. [01:34] oh [01:35] hello , how can i choose the fastest mirror for apt-get through the command line ? [01:35] hopes dashed for an easy solution lol [01:35] newtoubuntu_: it's not too bad actually http://www.butlerpc.net/blog/2011/01/using-xbindkeys-on-ubuntu-linux-to-remap-key-commands/ [01:36] i have to go, but ill try and figure it out on my own [01:36] SaEeDIRHA: Google has the answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line [01:36] i may come back later [01:36] thanks all [01:37] wafflej0ck, can you help me? [01:38] VirtualMaster: hey yeah didn't see your question at first but sounds like you should be able to do it using a live CD or USB [01:38] VirtualMaster: typically you can't really modify the partition if it's mounted and being used as the main drive [01:38] VirtualMaster: but if you use GParted from a live media then you can modify the main system [01:39] i tried using live usb .. but its not booting.. says.. modprobe, kernel errors.. can recall those errors.. [01:39] VirtualMaster: always backup first too I use Clonezilla most of the time [01:39] cant recall* [01:39] VirtualMaster: hmm strange, make sure you check the md5sum on the download vs what is on the site where you download it from and can check it on the drive itself too, would have to google for details on that though [01:40] any reason i am having graphical issues after upgrade to 14.10 but if i boot to recovery i have a display ? [01:40] lagbox: likely graphics driver issues === Joshua^Dunamis_i is now known as Joshua^Dunamis [01:40] Thanks wafflej0ck, i will give it a try.. will come back later. [01:41] lagbox: Graphics driver ? Try booting with the 'nomodeset' boot paramater . [01:41] ah ... i would rather not use fglrx [01:41] lagbox: you can use, lspci -k to see all the hardware/drivers loaded and depending on your hardware can install packages from the repos that might work better than whatever is there right now [01:41] !nomodest | lagbox [01:41] VirtualMaster: k godspeed [01:42] |nomodeset | lagbox [01:42] heh [01:42] !nomodeset | lagbox [01:42] lagbox: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:42] third times the charm Bashing-om :) [01:42] finally ! [01:42] thank you [01:44] lagbox: When you are able to boot to the desk top, -> Additional Drivers, and install the recommended driver. [01:44] brb [01:44] i would rather not use fglrx [01:45] lagbox: why's that? just curious? bad experience or ideals? [01:45] both [01:45] hopefully it is better than it was but i am fine with the open source drivers, when they work [01:45] hmm k I switched to nvidia or intel stuff for the most part so have been away from the AMD/ATI stuff for a whie but in terms of drivers I typically use what works best which isn't inline with ideals but it is what it is [01:46] lagbox: We can look and see what graphics card(s) you have, and maybe then make a suggestion ? - Want to try and boot to a terminal ? [01:46] [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7520G] [1002:9990] [01:46] had no issues with 14.04 so i think it may just be a boot option i didn't realize i had set previously === NaStYdoG is now known as Guest2712 [01:48] lagbox: So far, so good, that card is certified . [01:48] lagbox: also just out of curiousity why'd you decide to go 14.10? are you okay with the instability and troubleshooting you'll need to do, if not you might just want to stick with 14.04 [01:48] gonna test [01:49] i have always moved to the next release since ubuntu came out [01:49] im fine with it [01:49] I thought about it but nothing really compelling in 14.10 for me, if anything think I would just add in a PPA from webupd8 for more advanced versions of gnome... cool just wondering [01:49] though i noticed as well nothing major is going on with it [01:50] yet....... :P [01:50] yeah think the focus is just on mobile right now [01:50] lagbox: Per:http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201209-11640/ ; FGLRX is required. [01:50] k sorry getting off track :) [01:51] yea i have always thought that was an odd decision by them [01:51] Bashing-om, interesting, so for 14.10 its required [01:52] yea thats odd [01:53] hehe what is full functionality [01:53] i dont need full functionality [01:53] lagbox: Well, the reference was in 12.04.2 , a lot of work has been done in open source drivers, so ?????? [01:53] yea [01:53] i have been using the open source drivers the entire time [01:54] only if i wanted hdmi out did i have to play the driver switch game [01:54] but if fglrx is nice and stable it might be worth using it [01:54] lagbox: Boot to terminal, and see if any driver al all is loaded -> sudo lshw -C display . [01:54] hi ppl! everything cool? [01:54] unclaimed [01:54] i did boot from recovery [01:54] haven't rebooted yet [01:55] lagbox: From recovery, it would have no driver loaded. ( uses a fall back driver from the kernel) . [01:55] im gonna try the nomodeset real quick [01:56] Scyth: yup doing well here, you have an issue or here to help? if not might want to jump in #ubuntu-offtopic to just chat [01:56] indeed [01:56] brb [01:56] lagbox: roger, but 'nomodeset' also will not load a graphic's driver. same same .. fall back driver.

[02:07] rambler2: all the *ubuntu packages are basically the same core packages with a few different desktop apps installed and a different DE [02:07] sgen: maybe have to specify the user as ssh with no user assume the current user [02:08] lagbox: Maybe still ubuntu Software Center ->Software Sources(edit menu option on top task bar) ->Additional Drivers (tab in Software Sources) . [02:08] wafflej0ck, is lxde just a DE?

Did something fry? [02:29] skyfall: in powertop too in the Device stats you can see how much power is being used by different devices in the system to see if wifi is a big issue anyhow [02:29] skyfall: better to chat it through in the main chat here too though in case others know more about the specifics [02:30] pigbenis: sounds like some GPU issue not sure though === ubuntu is now known as Guest98650 [02:31] should i install any additional drivers ?

[02:47] wafflej0ck: yes I have done that [02:47] yes wafflej0ck [02:47] it crashes the whole router [02:47] and i can be connected like 5 mins at a time [02:48] and anything connected to the router [02:48] via wifi or ethernet [02:48] how do i get ubuntu to boot to cinamon desktop? have it installed currently [02:48] experiences the same [02:48] its as if its overloading my router with connections [02:49] rambler2: When you log out of your user account, the login screen should have a place where you can choose which desktop session you want to use [02:49] rambler2: http://askubuntu.com/questions/476793/how-to-change-the-default-desktop-environment-that-appears-in-the-greeter-in-1 [02:49] cellardoor, i did that.. but when i restart it goes back to the unity or whatever its callde [02:49] BradTN: you can check tcpdump [02:49] do you wish for me to run this command from terminal sir? [02:50] so i installed the fglrx drivers and now i have a desktop again ... and they seem to work better than the last time i used them [02:50] BradTN: eh well trying to think of the easiest way to pin it down... tcpdump will show all the packets being sent on an interface [02:50] BradTN: you run it like, sudo tcpdump -i eth0 [02:50] i can actually get to virtual terminals in this version [02:50] where eth0 is the connection, you can use ifconfig to see the interfaces [02:50] hello [02:50] lagbox: nice [02:50] ok well i have to get back into my box and ill do that [02:51] ill probably get disconnected [02:51] :( [02:51] but ill brb [02:51] thanks [02:51] BradTN: problem is you'll have lots of traffic if you have anything open [02:51] BradTN: np [02:51] gives me time now to figure out why the other drivers are having issues [02:51] BradTN: you might want to use wireshark it's a GUI version of tcpdump basically [02:51] hm ok [02:51] and when i get this info [02:51] how would you like to view it sir [02:52] wafflej0ck, what is this? [02:52] well that's the problem with just straight tcpdumping everything will be hard to see what's going on probably, same in wireshark but basically just try to shutdown anything that would be using the network then see what is flooding the network [02:52] BradTN: ^ [02:52] ok [02:52] brb [02:52] i hope.. [02:53] rambler2: for setting up which DE is used by default [02:53] thanks for the help guys [02:53] lagbox: yup glad you got it sorted, graphics problems are a pain [02:54] #1 is graphics problems #2 is wifi issues still it seems like [02:54] wafflej0ck, ok, what do i put though? [02:54] user-session=ubuntu it says in the file [02:54] yea ... my problem is i figure out a problem, fix it and i can't remember the next time i install [02:54] lagbox: yeah good to leave yourself notes... I use google drive for everything now basically [02:55] and i wont let me save lol [02:55] god this operating system is just too much work [02:55] have to jump through hoops just to edit a file and save it? [02:56] any changes to the hud and notifications in 14.10 in unity ? [02:56] rambler2: it's file permissions you get used to it and it's there to stop regular users from shooting themselves in the foot or hackers from having access to everything [02:57] I miss linux; bought an Acer S7 last year. big mistake.

[02:59] the thing is though, registry is always the same, just different keys to locate === logos is now known as Guest92978 [02:59] very easy to navigate and edit [03:00] rambler2: yeah in linux typically you're working with configuration files in the /etc folder [03:00] rambler2: and you use sudo to edit those config files, so it's not too bad once you're used to it [03:00] alright, gota try this guide, hopefully my computer doesnt catch fire :d [03:01] rambler2: also the user stuff is in /home instead of C:\documents and settings\ and your program configurations are usually in hidden files (which in linux are just files that start with a dot) in your home folder [03:02] I copied a file from github but it has all of these weird characters where there werent before, in Notepad they are symbols, in vi they are things like ^C and ^B, is there a tool to fix this?

I can link the file if needed. The symbols don't appear on the site, but if you paste it into vi or notepad, they appear [03:06] dino82: go ahead and drop it will see if anything works [03:06] Hmm. Seems you cannot verify those kernel packages upon download. [03:06] rambler2: think you would want to use something you see when listing ls /usr/share/xsessions/ [03:07] Drop the link here?

[03:08] the easiest part to see is CAHPREFIX, you get some odd symbols in front of the numbers [03:08] wafflej0ck, ahh gotcha, steps were reversed in guide lol [03:08] dino82: yeah see what you're saying seems like some character encoding problem [03:09] yeah that was my first thought [03:09] why am i getting a blank screen after grub when booting the live disc in uefi mode?

[03:17] I'll remember that, rww [03:18] rww: thanks [03:18] I will have to remember upgradeofflts [03:18] ;-) [03:18] i was trying to uefi boot [03:18] rww: upgradeoff or should be upgradeof ?? off/of . [03:18] i was trying to boot the 14.10 live dvd in uefi mode [03:19] Bashing-om: the off was deliberate [03:19] but yeah, the name could be better, couldn't think of an improvement [03:19] it boots into grub 2.02 and then when i select the boot option the screen goes blank while it boots the rest of the os [03:19] rww: :) , when you are good, you are good . [03:20] the screen goes blank but the monitor stays on [03:20] and when I'm bad I try to be amusing [03:20] rww: OK, I am amused LOL .

[03:28] acerspyro, that's a good way to get yourself kicked [03:28] axisys: need to setup the partition properly and mark it bootable [03:29] ObrienDave: ty :D [03:29] wafflej0ck: dd will do it all for ubuntu image [03:29] wafflej0ck: for other iso, not so much [03:29] anony: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-Ubuntu ISOs are designed to allow booting directly from the hard drive using GRUB 2 and eliminates the need for burning a CD/DVD. One way to do it . [03:29] guys hes clearly talking about lubunto which is way more compatible with the hp mini rather then the standard lubuntu [03:29] Anybody able to help me with my keybinding issue? Sorry to bother you all again, but I've tried looking for a solution and I can't find any. [03:30] axisys: ah well only used dd for img files myself on SD cards didn't know it would work for bootable ubuntu isos [03:30] wafflej0ck: yep for ubuntu iso it will work [03:30] newtoubuntu: you try out xbindkeys? [03:30] not yet, I was trying to look for a native solution [03:31] does xbindkeys have any overhead? [03:31] newtoubuntu: not that I experiences [03:31] experienced* [03:31] and waking from sleep? [03:31] not sure I rarely use sleep mode [03:31] it's on most of the time or it's just off [03:31] my god [03:31] since its a service im worried it might crap out randomly [03:31] think that was okay though [03:31] snpresent: since when? [03:32] newtoubuntu: I just had it in the startup applications in KDE when I was using it [03:32] tyros? [03:32] what? [03:32] Oh please [03:32] Don't copy and paste my name, type "ace" and press tab [03:33] well, acer, since AceLa.n is on here [03:33] idon't get it [03:33] :-) [03:33] just start typing "acer" and press tab to complete the name [03:33] The way you're doing it means you're quoting me, which I find irritating as it is like you're mimicking me. [03:34] Hi, I am saying that [03:34] What you need to use is [03:34] acerspyro: Hi [03:34] Just press tab to autocomplete a name [03:38] damn [03:39] snpresent: Damn what?

Right now i see this http://imgur.com/xE9A3UP [03:43] notice the red circle and the message under it [03:44] bluezone, is the update still running ? [03:44] no [03:44] it's been like this for awhile now too [03:45] so you ran the upgrade and that window disappeared ? [03:45] i never upgraded OS version, i have run updates though. This window appears when i click on the Red Circle in the application bar [03:46] Updates don't seem to work not the circle is there though [03:46] now* [03:47] I hope i'm not confusing you :P [03:47] bluezone: To get additional info as the what the error is, close out update manager, and run terminal commands -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- pastebin the outputs .

[03:59] lrn2trmnl === tremenjis is now known as ikanbakar [03:59] Hello Ubuntu users :) [03:59] Anyone here updated to 14.10 yet? [03:59] Magentium: We all have [03:59] You're late [04:00] still LTS [04:01] I aint late, i aint upgrading. I'm staying on LTS [04:01] Not a big enough update for me to do a complete re-install [04:01] I just wanted to find someone who HAS upgrade, who can honestly tell me what is different between 14.04 and 14.10 [04:01] i am boring now [04:01] * ObrienDave sticks to LTS ;P [04:01] 14,04 LTS [04:02] ok im testing lubuntu now [04:02] ubuntu was rather slow for me [04:02] Magentium: So, dual boot .. 14.10 continued stress testing and still with old faithful to fall back on. [04:02] and cinnamon was broken for ubuntu [04:02] cinnamon nightly still work [04:03] Bashing-om, nah, i'm happy with my 14.04. I was just concerned there was something better in 14.10 that compells me to attempt a non LTS Release for once :) [04:04] Magentium: I don't think so, there are some minor version bumps on things but nothing major from what I've seen [04:04] wafflej0ck, awesome thanks :) === evil_dan2wik_ is now known as Guest98726 [04:05] Magentium: I'm using Ubuntu Gnome the new Gnome videos look pretty nice with the extra animations and touch friendly stuff but no touch screen here so not super compelled to upgrade that just for the extra animations === Guest98726 is now known as evil_dan2wik [04:05] Magentium: also haven't upgraded to 14.10 FYI just saying what I've heard [04:05] Ubuntu Gnome, is that the Gnome 3.14 version? or is it still on 3.12 ? [04:05] ok linux ppl, tell me why browser in linux have such huge title bars? [04:06] Because you [04:06] The title bars are small [04:06] Magentium: 3.9.90 here [04:06] hello. Has anyone experienced hangs recently caused by massive spikes in load. kern.log shows sometging like "Task blah blocked for 120 seconds [04:06] " [04:06] Magentium: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS [04:06] rambler2 - Number of things. Check your DPI Settings, Screen REsolution, etc etc. What browser? can you do a screendump? [04:06] I'm on kubuntu 14.04.1 [04:06] wow lubuntu is much snappier than ubuntu [04:06] wafflej0ck - Ahh you're not using the testing repo. Yeah 3.9 s the stable one. [04:07] lubuntu on my slow laptop [04:07] rambler2 of course it is, Lubuntu uses a much more lightweight anf streamlined DE. [04:07] Magentium: yup, have thought of bumping it up but think I'll just wait still happy with it [04:07] wafflej0ck yeah dont...you'll get nothing but issues with Extensions, themes etc. [04:07] Magentium, is there anything faster? [04:07] rambler2: maybe XFCE or LXQT [04:08] rambler2: not sure about those but they're all lightweight, also tiling window managers like Awesome or TWM are probably light [04:08] but different [04:08] rambler2 yeah follow what wafflej0ck said :) [04:09] rambler2, or just go with something like Unity or Gnome and disable Animations :) [04:09] i dont think animations will speed it up that much [04:09] Bashing-om, yeah [04:09] Hello! I have a old box running ubuntu server and I want to check if the ethernet is 10/100 or 10/100/1000 [04:09] any ideas? [04:10] ethernet/lan in motherboard specifically [04:10] lubuntu so fast, but so ugly lol [04:10] mbff: ethtool eth0 or like [04:11] axisys, thanks. but I can't figure out what the output means. haha [04:11] wow [04:12] any network specialists here? [04:12] mbff: have you tried man ethtool ? [04:13] rambler2 it really depends on what you mean by "fast" because by disabling animations , it WILL load faster. Are you talking about the time it takes for software to load? Time it takes to boot? [04:15] rambler2: "lubuntu so fast, but so ugly lol" but highly configurable, once you learn how .Can be a beautiful work of art . [04:16] Bashing-om - I'm currently just using Unity, But I'm planning on moving to XFCE and customizing it big time. Unity is nice but i dont use it cos its keyboard shortcuts, which can all be setup in XFCE [04:17] Magentium: Agreed ,, XFCE is my preference . [04:17] hello all === mike_ is now known as Guest50472 === Guest50472 is now known as ___Mike___ [04:18] <___Mike___> hello all [04:18] <___Mike___> got a ? [04:18] Shoot. [04:18] xfce has been a long running favorite of mine too...going to try out lubuntu, as i've never tried lxde before [04:18] <___Mike___> I think I broke my elementary ... [04:18] <___Mike___> LOL [04:19] <___Mike___> I have broken packages and don't know how to remove them [04:19] run sudo apt-get install -f [04:19] then run sudo apt-get install autoremove [04:19] and then a sudo apt-get install dist-upgrade [04:19] that SHOULD fix most broken dependancies. [04:20] elementary has its own issues [04:20] <___Mike___> should I answer yes or now to the question "After this operation, 501 kB of additional disk space will be used. [04:20] <___Mike___> Do you want to continue [Y/n]? " [04:21] <___Mike___> when i answer yes, it error on a package [04:21] <___Mike___> *errors [04:21] !elementary [04:21] Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [04:22] <___Mike___> i was in there several times, but no one would respond..LOL [04:23] I run Elementary on my Ultrabook. Its a beautiful OS but the team isnt moving fast enough, By the time the 14.04 (Freya) version is released, we'll be at 15.04. [04:24] does lubuntu have a software store? [04:24] it does! [04:24] <___Mike___> hmmm, i get :: unable to locate package dist-upgrade [04:25] <___Mike___> E: [04:25] <___Mike___> not sure where e: is [04:25] <___Mike___> :-( [04:26] oh....thats .. not good [04:26] try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:26] pending you're running Ubuntu [04:26] <___Mike___> ok [04:26] wait. ARE You running Ubuntu [04:26] what OS are you on. [04:26] <___Mike___> running elementary [04:26] <___Mike___> luna [04:27] Ahh okay, that's even more difficult [04:27] <___Mike___> the elementary channel, i went in a couple times, but no response [04:27] <___Mike___> should i just wipe and load ubuntu [04:27] Elementary and Ubuntu have a bunch of packages that are different. [04:27] If it is a fresh install, sure. It's up to you [04:27] Luna was always a pain for me, breaking all the time. [04:27] <___Mike___> it all started because i was trying to install my canon printer [04:27] <___Mike___> lol [04:28] <___Mike___> I am a windows guy coming to linux to escape all the bull from windows (viruses, etc.) [04:28] Welp, welcome to Linux sorry that your first time was crap haha. Re-install with Ubuntu 14.10 [04:28] how can i locate where sofware was installed, i need to drag a plugin [04:28] <___Mike___> Thanks [04:28] <___Mike___> I really love the speed [04:28] open a terminal and type : Whereis [04:29] <___Mike___> cool [04:30] <___Mike___> it errors on a libtiff file or package [04:30] <___Mike___> i probably am butchering the language becuase I am so used to just installing from executables... :-) [04:31] I am not hearing any sound in Google Chrome. What's wrong? [04:31] any networking gods on here? [04:31] <___Mike___> I think i just need to take some time to learn the terminal and all the under pinnings of how the file structure works in linux [04:33] <___Mike___> can i just re-install ubuntu 14.10 over/into the same folder and keep all the files i loaded onto the drive? [04:33] <___Mike___> just basically overwriting elementary? [04:33] Please any network ubuntu gods please message me lol [04:34] Mike : That is where setting up a second partition and mounting /home to it is a given. If you didnt do that, start backing up files first. [04:34] You cant just "Install over the top" like windows (not a feature that we want either) [04:35] <___Mike___> can i keep my files that are in the /home partition? [04:35] Did you put /home into a seperate partition? [04:35] <___Mike___> yep [04:35] omg the power options are so nice [04:35] If so, you can simply remove the install partition, and then install to that. If they are on same disk, the Ubuntu Installer should pick up the /home mount trigger, and mount that as home. You may need to go and re-assign permissions though once your back in unless you create a new user account with same user and pw [04:35] independent brightness dim for idle! [04:36] <___Mike___> oh, nice....I might just try that [04:36] Does anyone know where to find preseed file for ubuntu 14.04? [04:36] I want to set up xubuntu. [04:36] <___Mike___> it seems maybe Ubuntu will have more compatability with my stuff [04:37] <___Mike___> *compatibility [04:37] looking for help with networking and ccna [04:38] MIke i recommend backing up though as well, i cant guarantee that it will work and wont be held responsible for lost work :( [04:38] any help with wireshark here?

[04:46] oop, too late [04:47] rummmur: what language *is* that? I'm pretty sure you just mentioned "elephant"? [04:49] Loshki:na na na,Mi pensas pri mi [04:49] dozor: he's having a problem where his computer is flooding his router and killing the network basically [04:50] awesome [04:50] dozor: I've been trying to help he's used nethogs to see that there are tons of connections being made but the PID is listed as ? [04:50] tried asking for him to do netstat -tulnp but other suggestions are welcome [04:50] keeps getting booted though while he's debugging the issue [04:50] hey wafflej0ck, thanks again for the help earlier [04:51] rambler2: ah yeah np [04:51] rambler2: sorry couldn't get that session thing fixed for ya though that's a bummer, but happier with lubuntu? [04:51] Li kredas je Dio [04:52] Well, that explains the elephant. Looks like either esperanto or portuguese. [04:52] maybe setup iptables to only allow out http, https and xchat ports and deny everything else to continue to troubleshoot [04:53] glaso da biero ,cheers [04:53] dozor: yeah seems it's all traffic coming from random ports on his computer going to port 80 on some AWS servers [04:53] if the process name can be determined, pstree may help track down where its coming from [04:53] dozor: think it's been made into a zombie [04:54] Mi iras trans la straton [04:54] !pr [04:54] hmm [04:55] !pt | rummmur [04:55] rummmur: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[04:56] @wafflej0ck probably something like that [04:58] @BradTN use iptables to block connections to AWS to try and get your network stable enough to track down the process source [04:58] ubottu na,Kio estas tio? [04:58] rummmur: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:59] Can anyone give me preseed script for 14.04? [04:59] wafflej0ck, Kio estas tio? Ne, mi ne volas. [05:00] @BradTN once you are stable, try using pstree -p to figure out what is spawning all the processes that is messing with you [05:00] crocket - I just googled it First link. Google is your friend. [05:00] Mi neniam estis tie. [05:00] d [05:00] Magentium, Do you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt ? [05:00] It's for squeeze [05:00] Do you want to squeeze me? [05:01] !google [05:01] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [05:02] peace out *buntu'ers [05:03] later dock9 [05:03] oops gone [05:05] Crocket - sorry, there are others too. That file isnt a pre-generated file so Googling some sample Configs may help you to generate one :) [05:06] wafflej0ck, ? [05:06] Magentium, google presents me with too many alternatives. [05:06] I'm confused. [05:06] What exactly are you attempting to do? [05:08] Magentium, I'm using packer to install xubuntu 14.04 on a virtual machine. [05:08] Zoobuntu [05:10] Is there a reason why you aren't using an ISO? I found an ubuntu-trust-preseed.seed file on GitHub by Moonwitch, but i dunno if its what you need. [05:10] Magentium, I think that's close to what I need. [05:10] Magentium, I wonder if it's ok to use xubuntu ISO with that preseed script. [05:11] IMO, i would go with an ISO. It has a standard preseed system built in [05:11] +1 [05:11] Possibly, but that preseed script sets up the install the way THAT person wants it setup. Is there a specific reason you need a preseed? [05:11] Magentium, I looked up preseed scripts in an ubuntu server iso, but they are too short. [05:12] Magentium, Isn't preseed the standard way to install ubuntu/debian automatically? [05:12] crocket, what do you need to do that is not being done by the Xubuntu ISO ? or are you playing with preseed? [05:12] ki7mt - My question exactly. What changes need to be made crocket ? [05:13] I need to boot an ubuntu iso and have packer control the installation process. [05:13] Magentium, Without preseed, how would you do it? [05:13] I don't understand your questinos. [05:13] questions [05:14] Preseed is the way to automate ubuntu installation on foreman, cobbler, and packer. [05:14] There is no other way. [05:14] I would have a look to see if Packer has a walkthrough for it. [05:14] Kelkaj el ni alvenis malfrue [05:14] I dont setup via Packer, i manually install my Operating Systems. [05:14] So i might not be much help. A standard preseed file though could be modified [05:15] So see if you can find one designed for Xubuntu 14.04, and just go through it making sure it's what you want. Seeing as its a Virtual Machine, if it fails...you just start again :) [05:16] crocket, Preseed seems to be the right answer here. You may be able to use package to build a custom image, but you've still not said what you need to so exactly. [05:16] .. use packer .. sri [05:16] I want to automate xubuntu installation. [05:16] packer is driving the process. === mike_ is now known as Guest96337 [05:17] Loshki, Mi parolas la esperanto!!!!!!!! === Guest96337 is now known as ____Mike____\ [05:19] ki7mt, Magentium I found https://github.com/dwursteisen/packer-repo/blob/master/xubuntu.json [05:19] Mi parolas la esperanton!!!!!!!! [05:19] crocket, this is a far more complex topic that just a simple one or two line answer, there .json files, preseed scripts, root_setup scripts, this is an advanced topis that you may want to run through the development channel. [05:20] Where i the dev channel? [05:20] Where is the dev channel? [05:22] crocket, You could try in #ubuntu-devel #ubuntu-motu #ubuntu-packaging all those folks deal with this level routinely. [05:22] <____Mike____\> going to try ubuntu 14.04.1 instead of elementary [05:22] <____Mike____\> see how this goes [05:22] Good choice. ____Mike____\ [05:22] <____Mike____\> my gaming mouse works in ubuntu, it would not work in elementary...LOL [05:23] <____Mike____\> what the ????

[05:27] <____Mike____\> I hope Ubuntu is fast [05:27] Both are about the same, their the same OS, different overlay [05:27] <____Mike____\> sweeeet [05:27] Ubuntu is a lot faster though in essence, depending on your hardware [05:27] <____Mike____\> niiiiccceee [05:27] <____Mike____\> its old hardware [05:28] <____Mike____\> q6600 quad core intel [05:28] <____Mike____\> 4 gigs ram, 650gtx card [05:28] So I have an issue with audio on my hp laptop (Envy 17). The machine has 2 stereo speakers and a sub (2 in the front of the screen, 2 at the front of the machine and the sub underneath) I've already looked around for solutions, but they barely work (Only one speaker works at a time, although individually I can get them to all work) any help would be appreciated. [05:29] <____Mike____\> is it easy to install a printer, its a pretty new canon [05:29] <____Mike____\> i can get linux drivers from the website [05:30] <____Mike____\> but after unpacking them I don't know how to initiate the install process... :-) [05:30] ? [05:31] ____Mike____\, there's probably a README or INSTALL file in the package I would think, depending on the type of file you downloaded. [05:31] <____Mike____\> there is an install file, but it opens in a txt editor [05:32] <____Mike____\> its a .sh , is that a shell file? [05:32] Yes [05:32] <____Mike____\> do i have to turn it into an excutable? [05:32] <____Mike____\> *executable with the terminal? [05:32] chmod +x name.sh [05:32] <____Mike____\> aaaahhhh, ok [05:32] <____Mike____\> i will learn all this eventually [05:32] Then ./name.sh [05:33] <____Mike____\> sweet [05:33] most likely, yes, post the link of the file you downloaded, I'll have a look at it. === owner is now known as Guest36259 [05:33] It's a little weird to get used to, but once you do everything once, it's easy to remember. [05:33] <____Mike____\> how do I do that? [05:33] <____Mike____\> a link to the canon site? [05:34] a link to the cannon file you downloaded. [05:34] <____Mike____\> cool [05:34] Mike, ki7mt is probably right too. Most linux software comes with a readme with install instructions. [05:34] They know everyone isn't a linux pro. [05:35] rww, Fi, kiel abomene! [05:35] rummmur: That isn't English. Try better. [05:36] <____Mike____\> heres the link: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/contents/SG/EN/0100515301.html [05:38] ____Mike____\, Yes, all you should need to do is chmod +x ./install.sh ; sudo ./install.sh [05:38] It has the prebuilt Debian binaries included [05:38] <____Mike____\> sweet, now when i am in the terminal do I need to start in the directory that the install file is located in [05:39] <____Mike____\> or how will the system know what install file I want to initiate [05:39] <____Mike____\> cool, Ubuntu is done installing, my main system is rebooting [05:41] ____Mike____\, Yeah, download the file, extract it, cd to the filder it creates, chmod +x the install file, then run it with sudo [05:41] cd to the folder .. . [05:41] <____Mike____\> nice, that is awesome, thanks so much [05:41] <____Mike____\> system is almost up, then I am going to grab that file really fast [05:41] ____Mike____\: have you tried just plugging the printer in? [05:42] Chances are it works out of the box as well [05:42] rww shit,Mi nenien plu iros hodiaŭ [05:42] Before installing that file, you should do an update & upgrade first. [05:42] is there a startup folder where i can launch something on login? [05:43] rc.loccal [05:43] whoops rc.local [05:43] <____Mike____\> i have 2 displays and one is not fit to screen, i dont see any option to resize under the settings/displays [05:43] <____Mike____\> i changed res, but the screen is still off [05:43] <____Mike____\> hmm [05:44] ki7mt, for me? [05:45] rambler2, To be honest, your probably better off using the StartUp Applications menu, got to Unity >> start >> select and go from there. [05:45] <____Mike____\> can i resize a display? if the screen don't fit? [05:46] <____Mike____\> its a 1080p screen but its not fitting the frame [05:46] Hey Mike. Press the AUTO button on your monitor. [05:46] <____Mike____\> its a 40" TV [05:46] Is it a 1080p monitor, or a 1080p tv screen? Overscan might not be enabled. [05:46] Overscan not enabled, thats why. What Grpahics Card you have?? [05:46] <____Mike____\> Nvidia gtx 650 [05:47] <____Mike____\> I have 2 40" displays [05:47] <____Mike____\> one is perfect [05:47] Kitar|st, im on lubuntu [05:47] <____Mike____\> other is off [05:47] <____Mike____\> one is a sharp, one is an LG [05:47] <____Mike____\> the LG is off [05:47] hey guys [05:48] anyone know how to add a startup app in lubuntu [05:49] Mike, you need to ensure that your Graphics Card drivers are installed. Then under the Nvidia Control Pane there is an option for "Overscan". [05:49] !nvidia [05:49] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [05:50] rambler2, Select "Preferences" > "Default applications for LXSession" ; In the opened window, select the option "Autostart"; [05:50] <____Mike____\> cool [05:50] <____Mike____\> thats awesome [05:50] rambler2, To add things, use the "Add" button. [05:51] So I have an issue with my audio, and I've already gone through some of the audio troubleshooting. Does anyone have a good direction to oint me in? [05:51] *point [05:51] voxbox: what's the issue and what have you tried? [05:51] <____Mike____\> cool, installing the nvidia driver from center [05:52] ki7mt, what do i put though? [05:52] its just an empty line, i cant navigate to app [05:53] voxbox: have you install alsa-utils and check things out in alsamixer or using arecord and aplay [05:53] rambler2, whatever you want to autostart [05:53] Ok, so I have an HP Envy 17. Anyways the system has 2 stero speakers and a subwoofer. By default the alsa only is able to connect to one of the stereo speakers [05:53] rambler2 you need to put the link to the binary. [05:53] Yeah. [05:53] Basically, I'm trying to get the system to use all the speakers [05:54] i have made a startup disk on usb . now what ? how to mount it to upgrade to utopic ? [05:55] I've tried whats out there on the net in terms of similar scenarios including editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf and using the HDAJackRetask tool. [05:55] murlidhar: you have ubuntu installed on that USB? [05:56] sjoshi: i have made bootable disk on usb with utopic iso downloaded. [05:56] Through that I've been able to get the system to use each speaker individually, but not all together. === goodwin is now known as firebb [05:56] sjoshi: using the start up disk manager [05:56] Trying them all together just gets me output through the subwoofer. [05:56] murlidhar, Im not too sure you can do-release-upgrade a startup dist, You can boot it up, then perform the the upgrade. [05:56] murlidhar: whats your goal, what you need to do ? [05:56] disk creater * [05:57] Or better yet, just create a new boot-disk / USB [05:57] can't i upgrade it without restarting it ? [05:57] can't i add usb disk to the repository without the need to reboot the desktop ? [05:58] sjoshi: want to upgrade to utopic now [05:58] I dont think so, maybe somebody here may know of a way, but typically, you either create from the ISO, or upgrade it from within the boot. [05:58] confirmed, i know of no other way apart from what ki7mt said [05:58] <____Mike____\> it sees my printer under the add printer section, should I just add it, or install that driver [05:59] murlidhar: if i got your problem coorectly you have downloaded complete ubuntu14.10 iso in the USB and created a bootable [05:59] ____Mike____\, I'd try adding first, then test, if that fails, then add the driver. [05:59] <____Mike____\> cool [05:59] murlidhar: now you need to upgrade your desktop OS to ubuntu14.10 [06:00] to be honest, why not just stay with LTS which has better security updates, and for longer? 14.10 isnt worth it. [06:00] <____Mike____\> holy crap, it worked [06:00] you can install from iso in grub but probably not worth doing IMO [06:00] so i can't add the iso to the repos to upgrade ? [06:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [06:00] murlidhar: you can in place upgrade typically but I prefer a clean install myself [06:00] +1 [06:01] wafflej0ck++ [06:01] sjoshi yes [06:01] <____Mike____\> thats awesome [06:01] <____Mike____\> thanks so much guys [06:01] <____Mike____\> already liking ubuntu better [06:01] <____Mike____\> its made that whole process a lot easier [06:01] <____Mike____\> LOl [06:01] ____Mike____\, Cool glad it's working for ya. [06:01] sjoshi: now i want to mount it and then upgrade [06:01] why doees firefox show flash, chromium doesnt? [06:02] murlidhar: why do it this way? [06:02] murlidhar: why not just do the distro upgrade, also like Magentium said why upgrade to utopic [06:02] wafflej0ck: maybe i need to just mount the iso [06:02] rambler2, Chromioum is using HTML5 [06:02] At this time, upgrading isn't worth it. Its more of a Service Pack , upgrades to the latest packages (which aren't always the best) [06:03] ____Mike____\: yeah the driver install busniess has gotten pretty good [06:03] murlidhar: what wafflej0ck and Magentium are saying thats the right and easiest way to do it [06:03] ki7mt, cant get flash to work? some content doesnt work [06:03] ____Mike____\: the hp drivers are good too for wireless scanning and stuff [06:03] alright [06:03] <____Mike____\> Nice, thanks waffle :-) [06:03] Good morning chaps! [06:03] rambler2, See hot too: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash [06:03] murlidhar: boot into your desktop ubuntu and perform a dist-upgrade [06:03] <____Mike____\> can I change the look of the desktop environment [06:03] .. how too .. [06:03] hello all. does anyone know how to reveal how to reveal start services that are hidden in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? [06:04] <____Mike____\> no too thrilled of this orange thing...LOL [06:04] <____Mike____\> kinda ugly, no offense...hehe [06:04] ____Mike____\: yeah are you using Unity? [06:04] start up* [06:04] ____Mike____\: you can use unity-tweak-tool for some things [06:04] Guest21461, Which service are you referrign to here? [06:04] Continuing my reports on 14.10 bcm43142 support, it does seem genuinely improved. [06:04] <____Mike____\> nice, going to grab unity tweak tool [06:05] <____Mike____\> where can i find out video card driver? [06:05] system services at start up, to reveal hidden. the command that worked in 12.04 lts is now producing an error code [06:05] Slight glitches at the handshake stage, but it settles down. [06:05] ____Mike____\: yeah for the appearance stuff think you probably just want the built in system settings or appearance panel [06:05] Anyway, I'm off to work. Happy motoring everybody! [06:05] ____Mike____\, sudo lshw -C video [06:07] ____Mike____\, or for a simplified version , lspci [06:08] Guest21461, and what command is that yoru using? [06:08] <____Mike____\> yeah, it says gtx 650 [06:08] <____Mike____\> hmmm [06:09] * Show Hidden Startup Apps: [06:09] sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [06:09] <____Mike____\> other screen is still to big for screen [06:09] Mike, did you check the OverScan settings? [06:11] Guest21461, I just tested it, it's working on 14.04.1 [06:11] it used to show hidden start up apps to make some changes (like turning off bluetooth permanently at start up) [06:12] Guest21461, I hd like 3 before, now there's like 23 apps in the AutoStart Application menu. [06:13] hrrrrmmmm its not working for me [06:13] <____Mike____\> is there a way to resize the desktop to fit tv? [06:14] receiving this error sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unknown option to `s' [06:14] I suppose you could maually look at the files in /etc/xdg/autostart after the sed command and see if it's changing the options from true to false. [06:14] Mike - As i've said a few times, OverScan is the technology that "Stretches" the desktop to fit the TV> YOu need to get the NVIDIA Control Panel using the NVIDIA Drivers from their SITE (not the repo's) and install them. Then you need to check the OverSCan Settings [06:15] i am not sure how to do that [06:15] Guest21461, That's a syntax error then, make sure your copy & pasting it exactly. [06:15] thanks for your help though i appreciate it [06:16] <____Mike____\> cool, thanks [06:18] hello? [06:19] morning [06:19] is this for help? [06:19] meghan1989: ubuntu help, yes [06:20] meghan1989: It is. Please feel free to ask your question :-) [06:20] my laptop is so bright when i turn it on, i have to turn down the brightness every time [06:20] can i set it to always be a certain bright? [06:21] i still cannot get it. it worked in ubuntu 12.04 i have always used this same tutorial something must be off. what command are you using [06:23] Guest21461, the command you posted here in the channel: sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop === MrGeneral_ is now known as MrGeneral [06:23] yeah still no good im just copying and pasting that exact line [06:24] Guest21461, I see the problem, make sure there is no Space after ... /g" ... it jsut failed on my when copying it from the channel [06:25] Guest21461, This works: sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [06:26] Guest21461, Just for you on information. The sed command is looking at each file located in /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop .. and changing one thing, NoDisplay=true to NoDisplay=false .. that's all it's doing. === sec1 is now known as sec [06:28] Guest21461, So afectively, you could edit each .desktop file located in /etc/xdg/autostart/* and set those manually if you wanted too. But you need to use sudo in order to save the edits. [06:28] sorry ki7mt> was afk for a sec lemme give it a shot [06:29] success!! [06:29] thank you so much [06:30] Guest21461, Your welcome, glad it's working. [06:31] how do i add text to a file that is protected and wont give me permission? [06:31] sudo === Guest60271 is now known as jack [06:31] very nice. so how did you discover my error again? [06:32] i did gksudo edit *path*, it just returns and empty line [06:32] it took command but back at default path [06:32] sudo for non-gui applications [06:32] meghan1989: hi [06:32] meghan1989: for ubuntu help yes [06:32] rambler2, "sudo chown your_user_name file_name" and then that file is all yours. you dont need to use sudo later on, because u own it now [06:32] Ben64, im in terminal [06:32] Guest21461, Lots of practice with SED and AWK :-) no space after the closing the /g for inline replacements. [06:33] rambler2: right, but gksudo is for graphical applications [06:33] jayaura: no. Bad idea. Files have permissions for a reason. Understand that before just changing permissions arbitrarily [06:33] awesome =] [06:33] rambler2: also, i doubt you want to use "edit" [06:33] Ben64, oh.. i just tried sudo gedit *path* says "sudo:gedit:command not found" [06:33] somsip, yup thats right. rambler2 : keep an eye on what file you are editing [06:34] i guess i need to grab gedit from sc? [06:34] rambler2: are you serious? gksudo for graphics, sudo for non graphics. gedit is graphics [06:34] rambler2, yeah, or sudo apt-get install gedit [06:34] i just got linux today, dont have to be a dick [06:34] rambler2: this is the 3rd time i've told you this [06:35] oh ok, mr delusional [06:35] rambler2: plz stay polite when ppl help you [06:35] i can see all three times on my screen right now. go try sudo nano and fix your attitude while you're at it [06:36] he thinks i ran gksudo a second time [06:36] he misread what i said [06:36] i really did not [06:36] the command failed because i didnt have gedit installed [06:36] jay fixed me up thansk though [06:36] right, but you also used sudo for gedit, which is not good in the first place [06:43] hi all, i'd like to report a bug but i cannot figure out how to do it from launchpad. and i am not running ubuntu. how do i do that? [06:43] omg it worked! [06:43] woohoo [06:44] yoshi314, Lots of ways, but probably best to ask in #launchpad [06:45] i figured out that https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect takes me to bug report page instead of bouncing me away to the wiki all the time [06:45] i hope that's good enough [06:47] good
