[00:00] <rosaecaeruleae> the actual "owner" of that directory is me, not root, i recursively changed owner and group to "me", that was not a good idea...
[00:00] <rosaecaeruleae> i now want to revert the "LOST And found directory" to its original owener, root
[17:15] <lecaritor> salut
[17:15] <lecaritor> j'ai vu de la lumiere alors chui rentré
[17:15] <cfhowlett> !fr | lecaritor
[17:16] <lecaritor> ok bye ;)
[17:54] <torejls> Gentlemen - I type this command in terminal: sudo gedit /etc/init.d/boinc-client
[17:54] <torejls> But it dosent work
[17:54] <torejls> anybody know if something else works but gives the same result?
[17:54] <elfy> try using mousepad instead - we don't install gedit
[17:55] <elfy> also you can use pkexec to get root rights
[17:55] <elfy> pkexec mousepad /etc/init.d/boinc-client
[17:56] <torejls> thank you, sir. But it seems like it failed in terminal. "Cannot open display
[17:59] <elfy> what version of xubuntu are you using?
[18:01] <elfy> and where are you trying to do this - in the desktop environment or in a virtual terminal?
[18:03] <elfy> if you're not in the desktop - then use sudo nano to edit it
[18:04] <ghostxubuntu23w> Hey is anyone here having issues with the latest update of STEAM? Where it just opens for a second then craps out. Running 'steam' in terminal gives me a segfault...?
[18:07] <deshipu> I don't think there is steam in xubuntu repositories
[18:08] <krytarik> !info steam | deshipu
[18:10] <deshipu> wow, I stand corrected, thanks
[18:11] <elfy> even so - unless there are people here able to help - might be better in #ubuntu
[18:11] <elfy> more eyes there
[18:12] <knome> or a steam channel
[18:26] <ghostxubuntu23w> Ubuntu is more populated?
[18:26] <ghostxubuntu23w> but XFCE is so much better than the new GNOME :(
[18:29] <deshipu> doesn't Ubuntu use Unity? :)
[18:37] <knome> aka "the new GNOME"? :P
[18:37] <knome> (no, not really, but who knows what all these DE names and DE's are, except geeks)
[18:40] <brainwash> ghostxubuntu23w: #ubuntu-steam
[18:50] <torejls> sorry for late reply: I want to edit a config file in etc/init.d/boinc-client
[18:51] <torejls> when i go directly to the folder it wont let me save. seems i have to go trough terminal for root permission
[18:51] <knome> torejls, use a CLI text editor; sudo nano /etc/init.d/boinc-client
[18:52] <torejls> that worked. thanks a lot :))
[18:52] <knome> no problem
[19:13] <ghostxubuntu23w> I call it GNOME3 as is "3 sucks"
[21:14] <tjukkola> Hello everyone. Just asking is it possible to update xubuntu live USB? I tried to update mine and I think I broke it.
[21:17] <ghostxubuntu23w> how to do you mean @ TJ?
[21:18] <elfy> tjukkola: just reboot it
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> what like wiping it clean?
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> fresh start?
[21:18] <elfy> you can update and install when using the livesession - but reboot will undo all that
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> ^^
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> Maybe someone can correct me but I ALWAYS start fresh
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> IE delete the partition
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> put a new ext4 on
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> reformat
[21:18] <ghostxubuntu23w> reinstall
[21:19] <ghostxubuntu23w> unless you're talking more specific
[21:19] <ghostxubuntu23w> Wasn't sure if you meant like someting going from 12.04 to 14.04
[21:19] <ghostxubuntu23w> LTS
[21:19] <ghostxubuntu23w> or whatever
[21:19] <ghostxubuntu23w> What exactly are you trying to do TJ?
[21:20] <knome> ghostxubuntu23w, please don't use enter as punctuation
[21:21] <ghostxubuntu23w> oh sorry I'll just use long run-on sentences instead
[21:21] <knome> elfy, wonder what persistence is supposed to react to upgrading... or is just persisting personal files, eg. /home ?
[21:21] <knome> ^ s/what/how
[21:21] <elfy> not sure tbh
[21:22] <elfy> I think that a persistent will let you install *things*
[21:25] <tjukkola> I ran xubuntu live to try it out. After update it wanted to restart and after restart it didn't work anymore.
[21:27] <tjukkola> Said that cannot find live file system or something like that. Can't remember. Sorry.
[21:28] <knome> can't know how to fix then, sorry
[21:30] <Nixus> hey I'm having window tearing on my Xubuntu, any way to fix this? Maybe a different window manage? sorry, but nobody seems to answer it on ubuntu-offtopic (-_-)
[21:34] <Nixus> ?
[21:42] <Nixus> hey I'm having window tearing on my Xubuntu, any way to fix this? Maybe a different window manage?
[21:44] <Nixus> hey I'm having window tearing on my Xubuntu, any way to fix this? Maybe a different window manage?
[21:44] <ochosi> yeah, you can try that
[21:44] <ochosi> but there are no guarantees
[21:45] <ochosi> you can also try to use compton instead of xfwm4's compositor
[21:46] <Nixus> ok? does tearing have to do with compositing?
[21:46] <ochosi> oh well, better read up on tearing online, this is too big a subject to repeat it here in the channel
[21:47] <Nixus> ok, sorry for spam was trying to copy something else, but was pressing the wrong button *embarrased*
[21:51] <deshipu> ochosi: is compton already usable?
[21:52] <ochosi> deshipu: yeah
[21:53] <ochosi> all you have to do to try it is to install it, deactivate the compositor in xfwm4's advanced wm tweaks dialog and then run "compton" in the terminal
[21:53] <ochosi> if you want it persistently, you can also add it to the autostarted apps
[21:55] <deshipu> ochosi: if I disable compositing in the tweaks, xfwm4 will stop trying to use transparency and shadows :(
[21:55] <ochosi> yeah, obviously that is the idea
[21:55] <ochosi> compton will do that once you launch it
[21:56] <deshipu> nope
[21:56] <deshipu> also, terminals are no longer transparent
[21:58] <deshipu> ah, it has to be enabled
[22:34] <rosaecaeruleae> hi
[22:35] <rosaecaeruleae> is it a good idea to rename back the lost+found file of an external hdd ext4 formatted? rename, I mean to make root the new owner, as it should be. Now the owner and group of said directory are "me"
[23:39] <Nixus> Sorry if this is off topic, IDK if it is. if I exit XChat IRC and reopen it, I have to change my name, join servers/channels all over again. Is there a way to make it save all this? thanks
[23:50] <Nixus> anyone?
[23:53] <Unit193> Nixus: I know you can have "favorite" channels, and there's a box to put your nick as well.  Can't tell you more, not used it enough.
[23:53] <Unit193> Nixus: You could just use Hexchat and ask in #hexchat
[23:55] <Nixus> ok
[23:55] <Nixus> also,I have another issue: whenever I extract a file using thunar file manager, the archive manager crashes. thanks
