| kubast2 | I see tons of offtopic out here :P | 01:45 |
|---|---|---|
| bcgrown | My PC hangs during boot (after grub menu) with a blinking cursor. Same thing happens if I try to boot from a live CD. what happened?? It was working fine yesterday... | 01:46 |
| kubast2 | Oh | 01:46 |
| bcgrown | Xubuntu 14.04 | 01:46 |
| kubast2 | through I was on xubuntu-offtopic[it might look sarcastic] ,I dunno men ,if it doesn't work on live cd | 01:47 |
| kubast2 | For how long it stays like that ,did you tried to redownload and reburn the cd/liveusb | 01:50 |
| kubast2 | Can you make an mem test for awhile and then reboot pc | 01:50 |
| bcgrown | This livecd has worked before. It stays like that forever. Running memtest now | 01:51 |
| kubast2 | Btw memtest does multiplay passes and it mightbe done by now | 02:00 |
| knome | not really... you should run memtest for some *hours* | 02:00 |
| bcgrown | Ya it's been running for 10 min and no errors | 02:01 |
| knome | it might not hit the errors on the first full run | 02:01 |
| bcgrown | That seems like an unlikely cause though... | 02:15 |
| knome | agreed | 02:15 |
| bcgrown | Tried booting again and it hangs when attempting to mount the root filesystem. I suspect the livecd hangs because it's also trying to do that | 02:19 |

| ray_ | hi all I am using xubuntu 14.04.01 64 bit, I use dconf-editor to blacklist vlc from the sound indicator but every time I launch vlc it reappears???? anyone have any ideas what might be the issue? this happens to any media player I install or use. I can blacklist them in dconf-editor but as soon as I launch them they reappear? | 04:09 |

| seronis | i have 1000s of files that i extracted from an old windows *.zip. all of the filenmes came out as path\to\blah\realname.ext instead of putting the files into directories. is there a command i can type that will rename/move them all in one batch ? | 05:41 |
| nomic | maybe you need to extract it on windows to then deal with it seronis | 05:44 |
| nomic | your zip file has been made & made to extract on windows filing system | 05:44 |
| seronis | it extracted.. just odd names | 05:44 |
| seronis | how to rename a batch of files like that into directories wil be useful to know either way | 05:45 |
| nomic | determines on the filing /directory structure that it was archived on | 05:45 |
| nomic | would use python | 05:45 |
| nomic | write a script | 05:45 |
| nomic | now | 05:45 |
| seronis | how can i use the mv command to turn "blah\file.txt" into "file.txt" then ? | 05:47 |
| seronis | putting filename in quotes and escaping the backslash doesnt work | 05:47 |
| nomic | you want all your files in 1 directory? | 05:48 |
| seronis | yup.. if the name matches | 05:48 |
| seronis | theres dozens of directories.. but i can type a couple dozen commands. better than a couple thousand | 05:48 |
| nomic | they are extracted to bla\file? | 05:48 |
| seronis | they are extraced AS "blah\file.zip" | 05:49 |
| seronis | thats a filename.. they are not in subdirectories | 05:49 |
| nomic | you're going to have to get into scripting | 05:49 |
| seronis | the backslash is part of the name. | 05:49 |
| nomic | directory walking | 05:49 |
| nomic | os.listdir | 05:49 |
| nomic | then recurse over directories | 05:49 |
| nomic | scirpting | 05:49 |
| seronis | i dont need to walk directories.. they are all already in one directory | 05:49 |
| nomic | ah.. the names | 05:49 |
| nomic | just the names | 05:49 |
| nomic | are full path | 05:49 |
| seronis | yup | 05:50 |
| seronis | the filename itself (not the path) includes the slashes | 05:50 |
| nomic | you could have duplicate filenames | 05:50 |
| nomic | htought ouf that? | 05:51 |
| nomic | thought | 05:51 |
| seronis | not an issue.. i just need to know how to do mv foo\bar.ext to bar.ext | 05:51 |
| seronis | there are no name clashes | 05:51 |
| nomic | you need a script | 05:52 |
| seronis | no way to use wildcards in the mv command ? | 05:52 |
| nomic | you are asking to reprocess the file name/location/definition | 05:52 |
| nomic | maybe ask in '#ubuntu | 05:52 |
| nomic | its geeky+ ie. linux command line if its possible | 05:53 |
| seronis | ok thanks for trying. appreciate it | 05:53 |
| nomic | MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD ALWAYS TO JUST WRITE A SCRIPT. | 05:53 |
| nomic | imo. | 05:53 |
| nomic | rather than getting into the nightmare world of esoteric command line manipulation | 05:53 |
| nomic | its fine, its efficient - its 1 off -- but why not just write a script | 05:53 |
| * nomic sighs | 05:53 | |
| nomic | scripting is the whole swiss army knife .. awk .. also regex .. are 1 blade | 05:54 |
| nomic | ugly .. extremely primitive IMO ugly | 05:54 |
| nomic | 1 little tool to do 1 little job in 1 little limited way once | 05:54 |
| nomic | & the tool is no good for anything else | 05:54 |
| nomic | learn to script | 05:55 |
| nomic | far easier than looking into 19thc bash | 05:55 |
| seronis | now now.. its stil 20thc =-) | 05:55 |
| seronis | the accurate insult is bad enough | 05:56 |
| nomic | find a neckbeard | 05:56 |
| nomic | bbl | 05:56 |
| seronis | i am a neckbeard. i could write up a program in C/C++/Java/LUA to do it in a few minutes. I just dont know any shell scripting yet | 05:57 |

| roo79x | hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks? | 06:16 |
| nomic | if ur a 'nedkbeerd' | 06:31 |

| roo79x | hi all I have a dell latitude e5410 running xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have an issue with the alpsPS/2 Alps dualpoint touchpad, if I tap on the touchpad it "right clicks" instead of left clicks? | 06:38 |
| consolidated | roo79x: weird... that usually happens when im lazy and resting my thumb on the pad already | 06:39 |
| consolidated | if you two finger click is it a "left" click? | 06:40 |
| roo79x | consolidated, no it right clicks as well | 06:41 |
| consolidated | settings -> mouse and touchpad all looks good? | 06:42 |
| roo79x | yes all looks as it should I think, this is the first dell I have ever owned | 06:43 |
| roo79x | my settings -> mouse and touchpad http://i57.tinypic.com/33cmzh5.png | 06:53 |
| consolidated | weird. probably a driver issue but i don't know enough to help, sorry | 06:56 |
| consolidated | some interesting googling about fixes with alps and dells though, if you feel like researching and trying it. | 06:57 |
| roo79x | I have been googling but everything I try does not seem to help? I'll keep at it, thank you | 06:59 |
| xubuntu616 | Hello all, | 09:45 |
| xubuntu616 | I am installing xubuntu 12.04 on my old computer (p3, 512ram, 20gb hd). Someone told me to use lubuntu as it supports older hardware. Any thoughts? | 09:49 |
| cfhowlett_ | xubuntu616, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware. xubuntu may also work. with those specs; eithor/or | 09:50 |
| xubuntu616 | wow the install worked. I need to reboot now. how do I get back to this irc/channel ? | 09:51 |
| xubuntu616 | It was an option to connect during the install. haha | 09:51 |
| cfhowlett_ | xubuntu616, install hexchat. join #freenode > #xubuntu | 09:52 |
| xubuntu616 | install hexchat join #freenode > #xubuntu ---- ok, ty | 09:55 |
| xubuntu616 | how do I install hexchat? I am noob | 09:55 |
| cfhowlett_ | xubuntu616, ubuntu software center | 09:56 |
| xubuntu616 | ok, ty I will reboot now. | 09:56 |
| knome | cfhowlett_, or the really easy way... go to http://xubuntu.org/irc/ | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett_ | knome, nice! do all the releases have that? | 10:42 |
| knome | that's the web :P | 10:43 |
| knome | but re: the installer slideshow, newer releases have a link from that to IRC | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett_ | knome, right. goog reminder. | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett_ | *good* | 10:44 |

| ubottu | esphera: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 22:22 |
| esphera | i have this setup: Caminho do hardware Dispositivo Classe Descrição ========================================================= system K7S5A /0 bus K7S5A /0/0 memory 64KiB BIOS /0/4 processor AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ /0/4/5 memory 128KiB L1 cache /0/4/6 | 22:23 |
| esphera | ok... i have to pastebin it, forgot sorry. | 22:23 |
| esphera | i have this setup: http://pastebin.com/ybyab2Qn | 22:25 |
| esphera | but im noticing that the system is very slow, and there are some graphic glitches | 22:25 |
| esphera | can someone help me solving this please? | 22:25 |
| esphera | appreciated | 22:26 |
| brainwash | esphera: that's an ancient system, especially the geforce4 mx | 22:34 |
| brainwash | esphera: you should disable the compositor (settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab) | 22:35 |
| esphera | hey brainwash | 22:37 |
| esphera | shall i reboot? | 22:37 |
| brainwash | no | 22:38 |
| brainwash | so, there is no performance gain after disabling the compositor? | 22:38 |
| esphera | not much... | 22:38 |
| esphera | specially media on the browser | 22:39 |
| esphera | i can even view a youtube video on facebook | 22:39 |
| esphera | cant* | 22:39 |
| brainwash | don't expect any miracles | 22:39 |
| brainwash | did it work better at some point? | 22:40 |
| esphera | hum... probably before web 2.0 | 22:42 |
| esphera | so you mean i just have to bare with it | 22:43 |
| brainwash | you could test a different distribution | 22:44 |
| brainwash | one that targets low end hardware | 22:44 |
| esphera | what would you suggest? | 22:45 |
| brainwash | but still.. software can't fix the problem if the hardware is just too old/slow | 22:45 |
| esphera | i just want to give this machine a chance... give it some purpose | 22:46 |
| brainwash | you could try Lubuntu | 22:46 |
| brainwash | or http://crunchbang.org/ (based on debian) | 22:46 |
| brainwash | which is very lightweight | 22:47 |
| brainwash | oh, but that's offtopic | 22:47 |
| brainwash | !ot | 22:47 |
| ubottu | #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:47 |
| esphera | sure | 22:47 |
| esphera | thank you for your help :) | 22:48 |
| brainwash | you're welcome :) | 22:48 |
| esphera | will try | 22:48 |
