[00:06] <bazhang> try #xubuntu-offtopic
[01:03] <bennypr0fane> Hey, so, funny story, I can't authenticate - my password isn't working, although I didn't change it.  I did do this: https://www.linux-tips.org/article/18/passwordless-sudo-setup
[01:04] <bennypr0fane> now all GUI apps that want authentication, like Synaptic, reject my passoword
[02:05] <[JJ]Albert> It's been awhile since I've used xubuntu, but whats the procedure behind kernel updates?
[02:07] <drc> Basically kernel updates occur with the semi-annual releases (april and september).
[02:08] <[JJ]Albert> thats alongside the version updates, like 15.04 coming up?
[02:08] <[JJ]Albert> or you're talking just the support for 14.10 for example?
[02:09] <drc> 15.04 will be released in <april>
[02:09] <[JJ]Albert> oh, okay, so you meant alongside 15.04 the kernel is updated
[02:09] <drc> and 14.10 was released in <october> (I miscounted on my fingers :)
[02:09] <[JJ]Albert> alongside each semi-annual update
[02:09] <[JJ]Albert> how about mesa?
[02:10] <[JJ]Albert> It was only just recently updated to 10.4
[02:10] <[JJ]Albert> though in xubuntu it's still at 10.3
[02:11] <[JJ]Albert> I use the intel Haswell graphics myself, so I watch the updates closely on that
[02:11] <drc> inless it's a major security problem, (most) applications are updated during the releases.  If you want the bleeding edge, *buntu is not the distro for you.
[02:11] <[JJ]Albert> I'm in no signifigant hurry then
[02:12] <[JJ]Albert> I am more-or-less planning on buying a dedicated GPU soon, when sales come around again
[02:13] <[JJ]Albert> drc: I am remembering that, at least at my own discretion though it'd be inadvisable, I could get more bleeding PPA branches of kernels and mesa, for instance.
[02:14] <drc> Oh yeah, that's entirely possible.
[02:14] <[JJ]Albert> I did that a couple times back when I had a HD 4XXX radeon, because main support for that was dropped from newer proprietary radeon drivers
[02:14] <drc> It's generally not suppirted, but it's your choice.
[02:14] <[JJ]Albert> yeh, again I am willing to wait on it
[02:15] <[JJ]Albert> But it is slightly sad I can't get the main package of 10.4 that I'm assuming will ship w/ 15.04
[02:15] <[JJ]Albert> I mean, from the official xubuntu repo
[02:16] <[JJ]Albert> for testing
[02:17] <[JJ]Albert> I know phoronix is a bit of an iffy place to go by in regards to performance, but I'm assuming the upcoming mesa releases will have really brought the open source haswell drivers up to par w/ windows: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel_windows7_2014&num=1
[02:18] <[JJ]Albert> Which is good, because some things are a little underwhelming w/ it, in spite of the fact I'm using an i7-4790k
[02:54] <sadhash> Good evening, folks. I use an old hdtv as my monitor and the menu button is busted. I'm looking to lower the brightness of the screen and am coming up empty with google-fu. Any advice?
[02:55] <holstein> sadhash: a remote control for the TV
[02:55] <holstein> sadhash: should be able to get a "smart" remote, and program it.. quite cheap
[02:56] <pleia2> I've used xrandr for adjusting brightness settings
[02:56] <sadhash> well, that'll be my backup plan.
[02:56] <sadhash> ok. i'll whip something up for xrandr then
[02:58] <Unit193> arandr if you like GUIs.
[02:58] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/149054/how-to-change-lcd-brightness-from-command-line-or-via-script
[03:01] <sadhash> xrandr worked perfectly. wish I would have thought of that. I used it just a few weeks ago when I set up this t.v. /facepalm
[03:03] <sadhash> i'm trying to break away from GUI's. xubuntu was my diving board away from windows. thank you all and have a happy new year.
[03:03] <pleia2> sadhash: thanks! you too :)
[04:30] <Evil_Eric> just wanted to say im impressed with 14.10
[04:31] <pleia2> Evil_Eric: glad to hear it!
[04:31] <Evil_Eric> zero issues and stable
[04:31] <Evil_Eric> unlike unity
[04:32] <Evil_Eric> tried xubuntu back in the 12.04 and 13.10 days but yeah wasnt impressed then but this works for me and works well
[04:34] <Evil_Eric> mehhh trying to figure ot why i dint just join through irc instead of this web site
[04:35] <Evil_Eric> well im out thanks
[06:06] <roo79x> hi all I've never used cron before and I'm trying to use it to sync my google calendar with orage I've added a line in cron to wget my ics file, pointed orage to that file but I'm not seeing any change? was wondering if anyone knows of a more complete how to online please?
[06:28] <roo79x> sorry I'll re-post I as I was rudely interrupted hi all I've never used cron before and I'm trying to use it to sync my google calendar with orage I've added a line in cron to wget my ics file, pointed orage to that file but I'm not seeing any change? was wondering if anyone knows of a more complete how to online please?
[06:33] <baizon> roo79x: how does your cron entry looks like
[06:34] <baizon> roo79x: and how does your "download script" looks like?
[06:34] <roo79x> baizon: */05 * * * * wget -nH -rK https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/roo79x%40gmail.com/private-c716b62e1533f2173145ced676b6de1a/basic.ics -P /home/roo79/.local/share/orage/
[06:34] <baizon> roo79x: that was a bad idea
[06:35] <baizon> roo79x: now everyone reading can download your gcalendar
[06:35] <roo79x> nothing of any importance on there
[06:35] <baizon> roo79x: does the wget work?
[06:36] <roo79x> yes running the command works
[06:36] <baizon> ok
[06:39] <cfhowlett> baizon, unless, like me, they're in China = google and it's services are blocked
[06:40] <baizon> roo79x: have you tried to put it in a sh file, then add +x and just put the path of the script in crontab?
[06:40] <baizon> thats how it works for me
[06:40] <roo79x> cfhowlett: I'm in Australia
[06:41] <roo79x> baizon: I'll try that thanks!
[06:41] <baizon> np
[06:41] <baizon> report back if it doenst work
[06:41] <roo79x> brb
[07:32] <roo79x> baizon: thank you for the help, the script is working. I changed the wget command a bit to wget -T 5 -r -nH -nd -O /home/[username]/.local/share/orage/orage.ics https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/gmail-address/private-c716b62e1533f2173145ced676b6de1a/basic.ics and it's working great!
[07:33] <cfhowlett_> roo79x, nice!
[07:33] <baizon> roo79x: nice :)
[07:34] <roo79x> now I'll have to go googling on how to get it to upload to the same calendar
[07:35] <roo79x> :-D
[07:36] <baizon> roo79x: that wont work :)
[07:36] <baizon> you can only download
[07:37] <roo79x> I seen something on google about using GalDaemon? maybe I was wrong?
[07:37] <roo79x> oops GcalDaemon
[07:38] <roo79x> it's old but might be worth a tinker https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7873
[07:42] <roo79x> well I have to go get ready for new years dinner thanks again for the help happy new year to all :)

[08:19] <baizon> holy moly
[08:20] <wlxmhls> if you download from official tar file, then extract it and move the lib file to replace the original flash files
[08:59] <sim642> Xubuntu has suddenly started asking for the passphrase when I 'git push' which didn't always happen before. How can I get it to not ask it for every time again like it was before?
[09:30] <aaronfranke> Hi, I'm having an issue with the desktop background. It is showing me a sideshow of images even though the box for slideshow is unchecked. I can't seem to get it to stick with one image. Running Xubuntu 14.10 with GTX 770 and nvidia-340.
[09:31] <aaronfranke> I'm also looking for a way to force 3840x2160 output.
[09:34] <xubuntu326> Hello, I hacve a problem installing xubuntu 14.04.1
[09:34] <cfhowlett_> !details | xubuntu326

[10:36] <versa> good morning.
[11:14] <_littleb> hi people, i have an xubuntu os in english language. how can I change the language to another?
[11:21] <Sh3r1ff> _littleb: install the language pack of the language you want
[11:23] <_littleb> Sh3r1ff: give me an apt-get example
[11:25] <_littleb> plz
[11:26] <Sh3r1ff> _littleb: apt-get install language-pack-en installs the english language pack
[11:26] <_littleb> ok thx
[11:26] <Sh3r1ff> replace "en" with the language you want
[12:50] <jarnos> Can anyone tell the exact size of xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso?
[12:50] <cfhowlett> jarnos, it is listed on the download site ...
[12:52] <jarnos> cfhowlett, it tells 930M, but I doubt it is exact size. On the other hand, I am not sure, if I need exact size. I have dd'ed the iso to a 8G USB stick, and would now want to return the original iso file.
[12:52] <baizon> jarnos: 975.175.680 bytes
[12:53] <jarnos> baizon, thanks
[14:12] <kasad> ok please tell me before I kill myself, is there solution to infamous bug with qualcomm (and some other wifi cards on certain laptops) where wifi doesn't work after system suspend
[15:15] <bullgard4> kasad: You beeter do not kill yourself but rather google using the catchwords you just mentioned in your question.
[15:15] <bullgard4> s/beeter/better/
[15:16] <bullgard4> It is wise to input the exacr error message which you obtain.
[15:16] <bullgard4> s/exacr/exact/
[15:24] <kasad> bullgard4> there is no error message, it's known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1286552
[15:25] <kasad> so I am disabling suspend left and right, (thing is I couldn't get it to work at all for quite some time)
[15:26] <kasad> turns out it needed long shutdown - go figure 1 minute shutdown - wifi doesn't work, 10 minute shutdown - wifi starts working again
[15:26] <kasad> wtf o.O
[15:29] <bullgard4> There you have a solution, even if awkward. You should report your findings by adding your comment to Launchpad bug 1286552.
[19:30] <megagiganoob> Hello folks, hoping someone might be able to help. I'm trying to make a distro of xubuntu based on my current setup. I volunteer at a free site to help people learn web development and the idea is to be able to give them an image they can load into a vm and not have to worry about configuration
[19:32] <megagiganoob> I'm going through the livecd customization but I'm at a point I'm not sure what to do. I've installed ruby and git. I'd like to install linuxbrew for node and yeoman so the users don't have to mess with sudo, but I'm unsure where to edit the path
[19:40] <brainwash> !remaster | megagiganoob
[19:54] <megagiganoob> I'm using uck, but not finding a lot of info on where I'd add sources to the path
[19:57] <brainwash> megagiganoob: you mean PATH?
[19:58] <brainwash> I suggest that you ask in #ubuntu, this channel mainly focuses on xubuntu specific issues
[19:58] <megagiganoob> yes, for linuxbrew
[19:59] <megagiganoob> we'd like for users not to have to use sudo before installing development tools, without jacking with the core system permissions
[19:59] <brainwash> you could add changes to the files in /etc/skel/
[20:00] <brainwash> these files are copied to the home directory when you create a new user
[20:00] <brainwash> sadly I have to leave now, good luck :)
[20:00] <megagiganoob> oh awesome, np. Thanks for the help
