=== Metacity is now known as meta666 === meta666 is now known as Metacity [08:31] i'm trying to delete a meny entry in wine->programs , when i look in wine.desktop, i don't see the subentries under ->program [08:32] s/meny/menu/ [08:54] ararob : try "menulibre" without the quotes. you have to install it via synaptic [08:54] with that you can edit/delete/enter anything in the menu [08:58] ok [09:02] silverlion, it worked, thanks [09:02] ararob : you are welcome ;) [09:16] hi ! I have accidently formatted my boot/grub/xp partition (table partition rewrite). Can anyone help me using testdisk to recover my data and system. I'm currently on Lubuntu on the same PC. [09:16] Can anyone assist me on the recovery process ? [09:18] I'm quite sure the original partitions were : /dev/sda1 (ntfs+boot), /dev/sda2 (ntfs), /dev/sda3 (extended for linux), etc for linux part [09:23] janolap1 : that's way over my knowledge ... sorry [09:23] ok, thanks. [09:24] ok, I'll just reinstall grub, and try a datarecovery with photorec... [09:30] Janolap1 how can I install grub? [09:32] nanogeek : as far as I know, you can do : sudo grub-install /dev/sda [09:33] if /dev/sda is your boot disk. [09:33] But I'm not really a expert in thoses tasks [09:34] nanogeek : why do you want to install it ? [09:48] nanogeek : why do you want to install it ? [09:49] i just want to know how to do it === twager is now known as g3tpi [12:22] Hi. [12:23] I'm having an issue with my Wireless. Occasionally the hardware switch goes orange by itself and all wireless connections die. Before this used to happen when I left the computer on sleep. Now it's happening without warning. [12:24] I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 [12:26] Originally when I killed the process, it would work. But now the process simply refuses to be killed. [12:31] Anyone here? [12:33] Freed309: what process did you kill and does not work "killing" any more? network-manager? [12:33] Yes. [12:33] I killed that and modem manager. I thought Modem might be the parent [12:33] But it restarted to [12:33] *too [12:33] Freed309: you have to check the pid (process-id) because the network-manager will be restarted if not there [12:34] I did. [12:34] I was terminating them from the terminal [12:34] Freed309: thats what it is made for -- if you really want to stop network - you have to shutdown the service [12:34] Using PiDs [12:35] You're saying I should find the PiD for the service? [12:35] Freed309: first: how long did wireless work without problems? (until last update) Or did you have always problems (like said about sleep-status)? [12:36] I always had them. [12:36] I would simply kill the Network Manager and NM Applet [12:36] Using the PiDs. [12:37] Basically, I would open the Task manager, and then kill PiDs from the Terminal in Root. [12:39] Freed309: then you did wait to long - you should check the logfile (/var/log/syslog) about messages for wlan problems - and did you already check any hints (hard/software probs) about your wlan-hardware (chipset, vendor-product-id)? [12:40] No, and should I show you the logfile? [12:40] The thing is, I never used this laptop until recently. [12:41] So whenever I would use it, I would ignore the problem. [12:41] Freed309: the syslog logfile could be very long -- you have to upload it to the pastebin-service and poste the link to the upload here if you cannot find the error/warn-messages about the network service (and its breaking) [12:41] Pastebin is what I intended and yeah. [12:43] Freed309: then for this laptop - first get yourself a cable-twisted-pair for working internet-connection and make a full update (you did not say what version - 14.04?) - could be it will fix it .. or make it worse - but you need cable-connection or the update may disturbed [12:44] I can't obtain a wired connection, and there seems to be several tar gz worth of logfiles. [12:46] Freed309: you have to get a working internet-connection for this laptop - you wont never get proper updates with a broken connection. Check the last syslog (without gz) and maybe give some hardware-hints about the laptop, wlan-chipset or did you already look for any online hints to this hardware? [12:47] Do you want to know what the Hardware is? [12:47] Here's the recent one [12:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9634537/ [12:47] Freed309: yes - you did not check for any hints for it? [12:48] Any hints as to why it wasn't working or? [12:49] And this is the Wireless card itself: 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [12:49] From LSPCI. [12:50] No I didn't. [12:50] Freed309: first quick question: why it looks (from the syslog) that the wlan is only valid for around 1 hour and dhcp needs a renew? [12:50] I have no idea. [12:51] Freed309: the time of the dhcp-offer is setup in the router - who did it? [12:51] Well, the person who installed the TWC Cable connection in my house. [12:52] It works fine with my Windows system. [12:52] That doesn't work [12:52] Atm. [12:53] Someone had the grand idea of sitting on it. :/ [12:54] Anyways. Before we go off into a tangent, I would have no idea how to change it, since our ISP doesn't allow you to modify Router settings. [12:54] Freed309: did you check even such video-hints? Like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9wfFVjqXzw [12:55] video-title: How to fix Qualcom Atheros AR9485 problem under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [12:56] Well, was it for the situation I had, or a different one? [12:57] It seems like his wasn't working at all. [12:57] Mine is working, but it stops all of a sudden. [13:00] Freed309: open a terminal and run: ping -W 10 ip-number-of-your-wlan-router (should be 192.168.0.1 from your syslog) [13:00] that runs a ping with a timeout of 10 seconds and should show when the network "falls asleep" [13:01] Freed309: if this constant ping (=network-traffic) will help - then you have to check the power-saving settings, maybe its set to disable the network and a wake-up will give you the probs (like a restart would do too). [13:02] I have checked the settings, and there is nothing like that specified [13:04] i found something though, I'm not sure if it's pertaining to this. [13:05] testdr: In Power Info, NM is set to 0.2 in wakeup [13:05] *wakeups [13:10] testdr: Hello? [13:13] Freed309: no - you did check and you are shure nothing will help - i suggested to try the "ping-command" to not let network fall asleep and to prove it maybe the power-settings. And other online-hints for your hardware are not apropriate you think - so i cannot help, because i dont have this hardware myself to do my own checks. [13:14] I did set up the Ping command [13:14] Yeah, cause they don't apply to my situation. [13:14] I think for some reason it just falls asleep [13:15] And then it creates a Zombie Process. [13:16] Freed309: thats what you are shure about and why should i doubt what you say? From the kernel-version of the laptop - its from the last updates and this proves there was a lot of data-transfer (more than 100MB) ?over this faulty wlan-connection. [13:17] Yeah. Now what should I do to find why it's sleeping randomly? [13:17] Freed309: stopping network is done with "service". Check in terminal the output of: service networking and use the hints [13:17] Freed309: scroll back in your irc-log and read my hint about using the ping-command [13:18] Yeah, I'm using it [13:18] It's still running. [13:18] So what I should do, is see when it stops and then try to figure out why? [13:18] Right? [13:20] Freed309: then you have to wait - if it wlan breaks now too or if this little wlan-traffic keeps it working . If so - you have to decide to disable the sleeping-mode (dont know if there are any hints about it), what some people may not want, if they need the short time of battery-uptime. [13:20] I will disable it. I don't need sleep mode at all. === zz_XeBlackWater is now known as XeBlackWater [18:27] Hi there, is there a way to add emblems to folders under lubuntu ? (I mean adding small sub-icons to the folder image) [18:28] janolap1: I haven't tried doint that and do not know how really to do that [18:29] ianorlin : thanx, I know it exists under other windows managers... === XeBlackWater is now known as zz_XeBlackWater [23:22] how can I upgrade Lubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 ? [23:22] janolap1: did you read the release notes? [23:23] wxl : no... [23:23] you should [23:24] yep [23:24] for i suspect you will find your answer there [23:24] and when i suspect, i mean "i know" XD [23:24] ^ that [23:25] no "apt-get upgrade" ? [23:25] what planet are you from :P [23:25] janolap1: apt-get upgrade only upgrades packages within the release [23:25] there... [23:25] never goes to the next release [23:25] never has, never will [23:25] sorry : dist-upgrade [23:26] janolap1: same concept - apt-get dist-upgrade only upgrades packages within the release [23:26] but packages that would get held by upgrade (kernel, wine, etc.) don't get updated [23:26] s/don't/do/ [23:26] read the release notes [23:26] be nice teward :) [23:27] this one : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu ? [23:27] with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS still being relevant i believe [23:27] wxl: i've been bashing my head against POODLE and SSLv3 for 4 hours i'm on edge [23:27] it's an atypical time for me [23:28] wxl: Lubuntu still has all the flavor-agnostic changes from the main Ubuntu changelog included as well right? [23:28] janolap1: naw, start at the basic ones https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes#Upgrading_from_Ubuntu_14.04_LTS [23:28] (i.e. core changes) [23:28] teward: lubuntu is ubuntu [23:28] teward: tl;dr yes [23:28] that's a yes :) [23:29] ok, I wasn't reading the good ReleaseNotes ... That's simple now. [23:30] janolap1: the Lubuntu release notes link to the base Ubuntu release notes [23:30] there's a lot of flavor-agnostic changes that affect all the flavors and the main changelog does touch on those [23:30] (like the kernel for instance) [23:30] main = lubuntu? [23:33] main = Ubuntu in that statement [23:33] since you just said lubuntu is ubuntu :P [23:33] huh they don't? [23:33] oh :/ [23:33] * wxl slaps teward [23:33] * teward returns the slap with a pulse blast from a dark-matter energy pistol [23:38] trying it...
