=== bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [02:35] deshipu: Well, I was able to make it work. [02:38] I made a special user. Either I copy the file and change the group or hardlink it and grant a temporary ACL entry. [07:45] Hey guys, I'm having a login issue with Xubuntu. After I login, the computer just hangs at the desktop wallpaper. It doesn't load any apps, icons, bars, custom wallpapers or anything. All I can do is move the mouse. Any help? [07:46] I can log into TTY however...It hangs a bit there, but I can hit Ctrl+C and it will take me to my home directory [08:03] I just tried following a few posts online, but there doesn't seem to be much on it and none of the solutions seem to work [08:06] This is odd. I may gave to just backup my laptop and do a clean install, which is what I was really trying to avoid... [14:27] Ji! [14:27] Hi! [14:27] im using xubuntu in my acer netbook with 64GB ssd and i had a fresh install yesterday. today i was enable to boot and i have this error.. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B34cGiKeV_siM0Q4WnpGazNkR012RGdDWGRfdUZCT0ZScDZR/view?usp=sharing [14:28] xubuntu 14.04 [14:28] wasn't enable to boot* [14:41] xubuntu95w, did you ever boot into a graphical mode? [14:42] yes [14:42] yesterday i was usin xubuntu fine. [14:42] using* [14:43] after installing [14:43] Hi all, I have xfdashboard installed, I would like to launch it every time I click my middle mouse button. Is there a way in xubuntu 14.04 to assign xfdashboard to my mouse button? I already have xdotool installed also if that helps? [14:43] and i boot once or twice [14:44] xubuntu95w, what did you do before it stopped working? did you install some packages? [14:44] yes opera browser and wicd. [14:45] root79 try read this http://www.webupd8.org/2014/07/xfdashboard-gnome-shell-like-dashboard-xfce-xubuntu.html [14:45] thank you [14:45] well after wicd i was able to boot fine [14:46] np ;) [14:46] Oi had xfdashboard on top left corner. was working fine [14:47] I had* [15:00] i am trying some solutions on internet without suceed [15:01] ... [15:01] sucess* [15:04] xubuntu95w: some solutions? try http://askubuntu.com/q/516217 [15:06] already look into it. tryed this http://askubuntu.com/questions/516217/alert-dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxxxxxxx-does-not-exist-dropping-to-a-shell/516471#516471 [15:06] the first command gives me dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [15:07] and according to mtab, /dev/sda1 mounted on /cdrom [15:07] i am running xubuntu live from a usb. same that i used to install xubuntu [15:12] sda1 is most likely the live system [15:12] try sdb1 [15:12] ok [15:13] sdb1 does not exist [15:14] what does "sudo blkid" return? [15:20] nothing... not a single word.. [15:24] but fdisk -l show me something [15:25] does it show /dev/sdbX (X being any number)? [15:27] https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B34cGiKeV_siaVpBLTJ1ZHIzdXZqVXgtaGZZSTd3QXFEams4/view?usp=sharing [15:28] nop [15:31] after a while it show me sda1 but that is my usb with xubuntu that i am using noiw to live xubuntu === slickyma1ter is now known as slickymaster [15:32] you've installed xubuntu on a sd card? [15:34] you could try to use /dev/mmcblk0p1 instead of /dev/sda1 [15:35] to follow the steps of the tutorial [15:35] my acer netbook has only a ssd card with 32G B [15:36] ok i will try that :) [15:36] other than that, maybe you should ask in #ubuntu [15:37] the people over there usually deal with this sort of problem [15:37] i was at #ubuntu but had no awnser and quit. [15:37] :/ [15:37] don't give up [15:38] no =) [15:39] the problem and getts me angry is that i tried many os and only ubuntu and derivate works because other never find my ssd [15:39] weird [15:39] but i am persistent and a fighter =P [15:39] if that helped with hardware support, you'd be in luck ;) [15:40] and i like xfce [15:41] i would try and make sure you are not setting some settings in the bios that makes it seem like your sd card is not supported [15:41] xubuntu95w: thats what you have, correct? an sd card? not an ssd internal drive? correct? [15:41] dont think so [15:41] its ssd [15:42] my only "hard drive" [15:42] so, not an ssd card,but, and ssd internal hard drive? correct? [15:42] instead of a hdd its an ssd [15:42] internal [15:42] xubuntu95w: no.. that ssd *is* the hard drive [15:42] nothing external [15:43] ok i understand [15:43] my hard disk is the ssd [15:43] 10:31 < xubuntu95w> after a while it show me sda1 but that is my usb with xubuntu that i am using noiw to live xubuntu [15:43] ^ after a while of what? [15:44] like he was thinking and 3min later show me more than i have i picture taken [15:44] this sends up red flags of a hardware issue for me.. intermittent connections, coming and going with no explaination.. [15:47] im trying tutorial with mmcblk0p1 as suggesterd by brainwash [15:47] but sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt is taking ages.. [15:48] xubuntu95w: but, taking ages is also a sign of hardware failure, in many cases [15:49] hmmm [15:50] well nothing happens.. [15:51] I'm streaming via hangouts, and every so often (I'm sure it's regular, I just haven't timed it yet) the video part blanks out. Is something still going to sleep even though I shut the light locker off? [15:53] lccadmin, sounds like ti [15:53] *it* [15:54] What else can I be checking on? [15:54] lccadmin, hardware > power manager would be my first stop [15:55] well in live i can see my disk an open it and see the files. so iat least it is showing and workin [15:55] lccadmin: You also might check your monitor (I used to have one that drove me crazy until I found the settings in the monitor itself. [15:56] And is it just the video blanking or does the ausio also stop? [15:56] s/ausio/audio/ [15:57] audio I think is fine. I'd have to check last week's cast, but I think the audio was fine. [15:58] oh, you're streaming ? [15:58] looks like it mounted [15:58] yes, on hangouts [15:59] 1:42:50-ish of this video http://www.lcctv.org/january-11-2015/ is what happened last week. [16:01] lccadmin: take a look at the terminal output of the command "xset q", specially the screen saver timeout and dpms settings [16:05] brb [16:05] dpms is disabled, but screen saver is set to blank and with a ten minute timeout. [16:07] lccadmin: you could add "xset s off" to your autostart entries [16:07] or use light-locker-settings to set the timeout to 0 [16:08] Am I numbing it, or are screensaver settings nowhere to be found? I'm very much thinking the former... [16:08] light-locker-settings in the settings manager [16:08] Ahh. I htought that since I disabled light-locker, these didn't apply. Doh! [16:08] starting with xubuntu 14.10 the power manager will take care of this timeout [16:09] oh :D [16:09] Ahh. I htought that since I disabled light-locker, these didn't apply. Doh! [16:20] i was able to do this http://askubuntu.com/questions/516217/alert-dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxxxxxxx-does-not-exist-dropping-to-a-shell/516471#516471 but didnt solve my prob.. [16:20] thanks to all who try help me ;) [16:20] gtg now. Bye =) [16:35] brainwash, it appears to be fixed... Thanks [17:07] i need a geek === X11 is now known as Evil_Eric [17:36] hello everybody I would like to ask is there a way to run photoshop CS6 in xubuntu 14.04 x32 without any errors? I mean i cant use my brush tools [17:36] ? [18:03] even if you use wine i don't think if adobe photoshop will run [18:04] Alexfrench, photoshop cs6 has "gold" support for wine... please stop guessing. [18:05] ok you know all, so help him, i shut my fucking mouth [18:05] Alexfrench, please watch the language [18:05] besides, he's gone [18:06] and for the record, no, i don't know everything but when i don't, i don't speak up and try to guess the right answer [18:34] Hello! I don't find a way to display the general system information like RAM, OS-version and so on [18:35] el_juliano: There's many different ways, lshw/lshw-gtk are one, inxi is a script that's pre-installed, and there's many other ways as well. [18:35] dmidecode [18:36] perhaps need sudo with that [18:36] is there no pre-installed way just like the other linux versions/desktop environments? [18:36] Right, dmidecode does need root access. [18:37] you could set it up with conky I suppose [18:37] el_juliano: inxi, lshw, and dmidecode are all pre-installed.. [18:37] I meant graphical. but thanks, i think dmidecode is enough [19:09] hi I'm trying to install chrome on this os using the latest stable .deb file but it keeps stopping not asking for authorization when using the ubuntu software centre would it be better to use commandline instead [19:11] well so much for irc support [19:13] !patience | wolffieuk [19:13] wolffieuk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Make a big difference in the answer.
