[05:03] <Maxime_> hi every one, when i try to install xubuntu, the installation just don't go on, when "create file for ext4 for mount" can some one help me
[05:03] <holstein> Maxime_: sure, i can make some suggestions..
[05:03] <holstein> i would start by confirming the downloaded ISO..
[05:03] <holstein> !md5
[05:04] <Maxime_> I already install it with the same pendrive
[05:04] <Maxime_> excuse me for my english, i am a french canadian, so maybe i will make some mistake, but i understand very well english :D
[05:05] <holstein> then, i would look at my installation media.. i would either run the integrety check, in the menu, or, i would just take the USB/media to another box
[05:05] <holstein> but, if you say the media worked on another box, then, its likely that i would then look at the machine in question
[05:06] <holstein> i would start with the memtest in the menu of the live media.. then, i would run a smart test from the live media on the hard drive
[05:06] <holstein> if the hard drive or ram is bad, you can see odd messages/errors/behavior
[05:06] <Maxime_> I install the linux last week in this machine. It was on a old 40gig drive. Now i want to install it on a 1.5 TB. It is maybe to big for a ext4 extention???
[05:07] <holstein> Maxime_: if you think so, make a smaller one, and test.. i dont think so.. i think its more likely a bad drive, or cable
[05:08] <holstein> Maxime_: when i quickly search the internet for the size restriction, read that 16tb's is the size.. i have several 1gb ext4 partitions
[05:08] <Maxime_> I will test it on my Windows Machine. Do you know an app that can make a ext4 partition in windows ???
[05:09] <holstein> Maxime_: the live iso that you are using can run on the windows machine, and make whatever you like with gparted
[05:09] <Maxime_> ok cool ... thanks for the help. I am in the installation right now...
[05:09] <holstein> Maxime_: otherwise, i wouldnt install linux on partitions i make in windows.. just as i wouldnt do it the other way around
[05:09] <holstein> no need for it, anyways
[05:11] <Maxime_> i see something
[05:12] <Maxime_> (process:10949): GLib-CRITICAL **:g_slice_set_config: assertion "sys_page_size == 0' failed
[05:12] <Maxime_> someone undestand this ????
[05:13] <holstein> Maxime_: what did the smart test i suggested you run show?
[05:13] <holstein> Maxime_: usually, i let those run for about 2 hours or more on drives that size..
[05:13] <Maxime_> i don't now how to do it :/
[05:14] <holstein> Maxime_: as i said, i use the live iso/usb, and i run a smart test
[05:14] <holstein> Maxime_: the process still looks like this.. http://linuxhub.net/2010/09/scan-your-hard-disk-with-gsmartcontrol-on-ubuntu-10-10/
[05:14] <Maxime_> ok yes, i didn't do it... i will do it now ... Thank you
[06:04] <clumsy_bot> Plymouth keeps crashing on startup. Is there anything I should be looking at?
[06:04] <clumsy_bot> Fresh install and on first bootup it crashes.
[06:05] <holstein> clumsy_bot: i'll just upgrade. have you? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ..then, i'll test again
[06:06] <clumsy_bot> holstein: Alright, I'll look into that.
[06:23] <mamal> Hi. I have a problem with Xubuntu style. It's driving me mad.
[06:23] <mamal> Many of my applications style looks ugly like this.
[06:23] <mamal> https://mega.co.nz/#!DIEBxLBK!O8vrzu3AIwtGArDKicNDRDTSBKh8s4kUzqGUbEuyooU
[06:24] <mamal> They look like windows classic (or worse)
[06:24] <mamal> What's the problem? How can I change theme to GTK style?
[06:25] <clumsy_bot> mamal: Most likely Numix bugging out.
[06:25] <cfhowlett> mamal, settings > appearance ...
[06:26] <mamal> clumsy_bot, cfhowlett: It's not Numix. It's Greybird... I have this problem in all of my styles. :<
[06:28] <clumsy_bot> mamal: Really? Weird.
[06:28] <clumsy_bot> mamal: The Window style is definitely Numix though.
[06:29] <mamal> clumsy_bot: Is there any file or sth. to edit for changing window style?
[06:30] <clumsy_bot> mamal: Settings > Appearance as cfhowlett suggested is one way.
[06:30] <cfhowlett> mamal, settings > window manager
[06:31] <clumsy_bot> mamal: GTK & Icon fall under Appearance, Window styles fall under Window Manager.
[06:32] <mamal> clumsy_bot, cfhowlett: Changing window manager does not affect inner elements style too. It only changes title bars and buttons.
[06:32] <mamal> Window manager style*
[06:33] <cfhowlett> mamal, ALL of the elements are customizable.
[06:33] <clumsy_bot> mamal: That's correct. GTK & Icons are under Appearance.
[06:34] <mamal> I just don't get it why inside the Xubuntu apps, changing window manager style works but in other apps (like VLC, or any 3rd party app) it does not.
[06:35] <cfhowlett> mamal, also see:  http://xfce-look.org/
[06:35] <clumsy_bot> mamal: Doesn't VLC use Qt for theming?
[06:36] <mamal> clumsy_bot: Probably.
[06:36] <clumsy_bot> mamal: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uniform_Look_for_Qt_and_GTK_Applications
[06:38] <mamal> Hmm..
[06:39] <mamal> I have installed zsh as my default shell. Maybe it's the reason. Hm?
[06:39] <mamal> Environment variables lost. And BOOM!
[06:40] <clumsy_bot> I'm hard pressed to believe the choice of default shell would affect GTK styles.
[06:41] <cfhowlett> non-related
[06:47] <mamal> FIXED!
[06:47] <mamal> just installed qtcurve. It's fixed!
[06:48] <clumsy_bot> mamal: Nice. :)
[06:48] <mamal> Thank you clumsy_bot (:

[09:36] <bazhang> make sure that arch update grub
[09:36] <bazhang> in buntu it's a set command, check the arch wiki for the equivalent
[09:37] <SuperPrower> bazhang: ty, it's no problem for google a command
[09:37] <bazhang> arch wiki <---- search term
[09:37] <bazhang> or: arch update grub

[10:54] <xubuntu95w> Hi, I have a dual monitor setup. My main monitor with the panel and most of the windows on has a resolution of 1920x1080. My second monitor  is used for less important windows which I drag over from the first monitor when I need to look at two things at once. However, when I turn on my computer, the resolution of the big main monitor is a lot less and the second display has a mirrored output of the main one but looks like a good 
[10:54] <xubuntu95w> I am running xubuntu, how do I fix this so that on the logon screen the main monitor has its normal resolution?
[10:58] <bekks> xubuntu95w: Which GPU do you use, and which driver for it?
[11:02] <xubuntu95w> How do I find that out?
[11:21] <xubuntu95w> @bekks how do I find out what GPU im using? It's an inbuilt one, I dont have a separate graphics card
[11:22] <bazhang> lspci in terminal
[11:24] <xubuntu95w> 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 15h (Models 10h-1fh) Processor Root Complex 00:00.2 IOMMU: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Family 15h (Models 10h-1fh) I/O Memory Management Unit 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7560D]
[11:25] <xubuntu95w> @bekks that is the output I get, So I guess an AMD Radeon HD 7560D
[11:42] <xubuntu95w>  @bekks any idea what might be going wrong with my AMD Radeon HD 7560D?
[13:28] <Boelsjit> Hey guys anyone knows whatsup with the latest nvidia drivers from the xedgers PPA? I keep on getting a blank screen with a blinking cursor after reboot.
[13:33] <brainwash> Boelsjit: contact the ppa maintainer
[13:40] <sergio-br2> what version Boelsjit?
[13:41] <knome> whatever the issue was, they should contact the PPA maintainer
[14:59] <cosmid> hello, i'm using xubuntu 14.04 and i've got this problem:
[14:59] <cosmid> there was no lightdm.conf folder, so i created it and added some settings to disable guest mode
[15:00] <cosmid> and since I rebooted to check if it worked, it freezes on loading screen, before login
[15:00] <cosmid> it loops the loading animation
[15:00] <cosmid> what should i do?
[15:01] <knome> sounds like the file you created is invalid
[15:01] <knome> which file exactly did you create and what is the full contents of it?
[15:01] <cosmid> wait a sec, to find the tutorial that i followed
[15:02] <knome> cosmid, i'd rather know what you did and not what the tutorial said to do, since it's likely that you have done something wrong
[15:03] <cosmid> well i'm searching for that tutorial to tell you what commands i added in that file, bcos i can't remember from the top of my head
[15:06] <cosmid> well, i think i accidentally followed a tutorial for an older version and i created a lightdm.conf file and pasted this in it:
[15:06] <cosmid> [SeatDefaults]
[15:06] <cosmid> greeter-session=unity-greeter
[15:06] <cosmid> user-session=ubuntu
[15:06] <cosmid> allow-guest=false
[15:06] <knome> lightdm.conf in what directory?
[15:06] <knome> are you sure you pasted that as is?
[15:07] <knome> as i said, i'd rather want you to double-check your own file, not the tutorial
[15:07] <cosmid> etc/lightdm
[15:07] <cosmid> well i can't check it since i can't get past the loading screen at all
[15:07] <knome> can you access a TTY, eg. by pressing ctrl+alt+f1?
[15:08] <knome> and FWIW, that's a tutorial for ubuntu... you need different values for xubuntu
[15:08] <cosmid> wait a sec to check if i can
[15:09] <cosmid> yeah, i can access TTY
[15:09] <knome> right
[15:10] <knome> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9767788/
[15:10] <knome> here is what you should have as values for the greeter-serssion and user-session for *xubuntu*
[15:11] <cosmid> oh ok, thanks
[15:11] <knome> now, can you point me to the URL where you found this tutorial?
[15:11] <cosmid> i'm not familiar with tty, i've never used this before
[15:11] <cosmid> sure
[15:11] <knome> it's just like a regular terminal
[15:12] <cosmid> http://askubuntu.com/questions/62564/how-do-i-disable-the-guest-session
[15:12] <cosmid> i think this it the one
[15:12] <cosmid> is*
[15:12] <knome> ok
[15:13] <cosmid> so what should i do now, edit lightdm.conf using tty?
[15:13] <cosmid> using nano?
[15:14] <knome> for example, yes
[15:18] <cosmid> now that i edited the file, should i reboot the pc?
[15:18] <cosmid> or exit tty?
[15:19] <knome> once you have saved, reboot
[15:20] <cosmid> thank you so much
[15:20] <cosmid> it works now :)
[15:21] <knome> you're welcome
[15:21] <knome> enjoy
[16:07] <vimar> Hi Pals
[16:07] <vimar> I have Kubuntu installed :-)
[16:08] <knome> okay... this is the xubuntu support channel. are you lost?
[16:08] <vimar> but alsa installed Xfce because heard many good things
[16:08] <vimar> :-)
[16:09] <vimar> I kinda like it, remains me old fluxbox
[16:10] <vimar> But I've met some problem:
[16:10] <vimar> Has anybody solve a problem with adding aditional input method...? I wanted add additional language next to English, but when I choose desired  Language and try to ADD IT, the language appears for miniseconds in Input methods ind IBus preferences and dissapers not listed in my input  methods.The only option for changing keyboard is "setxkbmap" in console.
[16:14] <vimar> so any suggestions knome ?
[16:15] <knome> nope
[16:17] <Alexfrench> why not to install a fresh xubuntu ?
[16:17] <knome> Alexfrench, i don't think that'd solve his issue
[16:20] <Alexfrench> i don't understand why not
[16:21] <knome> do you understand how it would?
[16:23] <vimar> I do not uderstand why you suggest me xubuntu :-)
[16:23] <vimar> Alexfrench:
[16:24] <vimar> I'm not the only one using dekstop at Home, my kids and wife love KDE, so I make it easier for them by installing Kubuntu.
[16:24] <Alexfrench> sorry maybe cuase you are on a xubuntu irc chan so i said that
[16:24] <vimar> Man some people are annoying, I have asked same quetion on Kubuntu, and they told me to ask on #xubuntu :-)
[16:25] <cfhowlett> vimar, you can have both ...
[16:25] <Alexfrench> but it seems i have no the skills to help you so i'll shut my mouth
[16:26] <cfhowlett> vimar, sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 kde-plasma will grab the 3 most popular destop environments.  logout.  choose one.  login.
[16:26] <vimar> cfhowlett: really..? no way, what about having Windows 8, can I have?
[16:26] <cfhowlett> vimar, you can dual boot windows 8
[16:26] <vimar> man its, Irony cfhowlett :-)
[16:28] <vimar> cfhowlett: I have installed Kubuntu, then added to that "Dekstop Manager: XFCE4", everything works fine apart adding another Input Language next to English, in effect I've to set Keyboard Input in console: setxkbmap
[16:29] <nicholas> anyone know the terminal command to launch the power dialog in xfce? thanks!
[16:29] <knome> nicholas, xfce4-power-manager-settings ?
[16:30] <nicholas> like the dialog, not the settings. the "ask" menu
[16:31] <knome> what "ask" menu?
[16:33] <nicholas> ok, so when you open the menu, and go to general, there is an setting that says "when power button is pressed" the options for it are: shutdown, suspend, ask and nothing
[16:34] <nicholas> never mind, found it on a different channel, it was xfce4-session-logout
[16:35] <knome> yes, the logout dialog...
[16:36] <idquiz> hi. when I set my router in 11bgn mode I don't have internet (can't even ping router) in my 14.04. works fine with 11bg mode. any suggestions?
[16:37] <knome> idquiz, use the 11bg mode
[16:38] <idquiz> yeah but i think the driver isn't working for 11n mode
[16:39] <idquiz> knome: i can do that at home but im screwed when connecting elsewhere
[18:06] <codebrainz> hi. does anyone know what the name of thunderbird is, so that i can kill it?
[18:06] <codebrainz> i would've assumed "thunderbird" or "thunderbird-bin" or something
[18:07] <deshipu> codebrainz: 'ps x | grep thunder'
[18:07] <SuperPrower> Hi. What fonts used by default in XFCE and in terminal emulator in Xubuntu?
[18:08] <codebrainz> deshipu, no dice
[18:08] <codebrainz> 16024 pts/3    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto thunder
[18:09] <deshipu> codebrainz: then it's not running
[18:09] <codebrainz> when i start it, it puts a dialog saying it's already running and to close it
[18:09] <codebrainz> it happens with firefox from time to time and usually i use killall firefox-bin (IIRC)
[18:10] <deshipu> maybe it forgot to delete some lock file
[18:10] <codebrainz> probably
[18:12] <codebrainz> oy, my FS is mounted read-only
[18:12] <codebrainz> i bet a massive system failure is impending
[22:47] <xubuntu56w> hello
[23:34] <Foo_> Where does software center put programs I install?
[23:35] <deshipu> all over the place
[23:35] <deshipu> on linux, programs don't come segregated into their individual directories
[23:35] <deshipu> instead, they put their files in different places depending on what kind of files they are
[23:35] <Foo_> ok how do I get it into a menu to click on to open.....Im a newbie to linux
[23:36] <deshipu> it should be there in the menu after you install it
[23:36] <Foo_> tried two programs and niether are in menu
[23:37] <deshipu> what are they called?
[23:38] <Foo_> have to look them up again  lol
[23:44] <ntfwc> Anyone know if there is a way to confine an application to a provided file?
[23:46] <deshipu> ntfwc: not sure what you mean
[23:46] <drc> ntfwc: You mean (for example) a text editor that when you open it, it automagically open a particular text file AND ONLY that text file; it can; open any other file?
[23:47] <ntfwc> Like a script that you give a file, and, somehow, it launches a program in a restricted state where it cannot interact with any other file
[23:47] <drc> s/can;/can't/
[23:47] <ntfwc> I know this can be done statically via apparmor or dedicated accounts, but something more dynamic would be interesting
[23:48] <drc> Nope, not to my knowledge...once you open an app you're at the mercy of whatever the programmer alows it to do.
[23:48] <deshipu> ntfwc: you can create a new user, give it access only to that file, and run the program as that user
[23:49] <drc> Well, if that's the case, I stand corrected :)
[23:49] <ntfwc> That could work
[23:49] <deshipu> ntfwc: also, there is docker and other paravirtualization things
