=== brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [01:45] I see tons of offtopic out here :P [01:46] 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] Oh [01:46] Xubuntu 14.04 [01:47] through I was on xubuntu-offtopic[it might look sarcastic] ,I dunno men ,if it doesn't work on live cd [01:50] For how long it stays like that ,did you tried to redownload and reburn the cd/liveusb [01:50] Can you make an mem test for awhile and then reboot pc [01:51] This livecd has worked before. It stays like that forever. Running memtest now [02:00] Btw memtest does multiplay passes and it mightbe done by now [02:00] not really... you should run memtest for some *hours* [02:01] Ya it's been running for 10 min and no errors [02:01] it might not hit the errors on the first full run [02:15] That seems like an unlikely cause though... [02:15] agreed [02:19] 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 === IdleOne- is now known as IdleOne [03:38] is there a gui in xubuntu for display resolution edits? [03:39] nevermind, just found it [04:01] hi [04:02] how to install skype on xubuntu 14.04 LTS? [04:09] 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?

[05:44] maybe you need to extract it on windows to then deal with it seronis [05:44] your zip file has been made & made to extract on windows filing system [05:44] it extracted.. just odd names [05:45] how to rename a batch of files like that into directories wil be useful to know either way [05:45] determines on the filing /directory structure that it was archived on [05:45] would use python [05:45] write a script [05:45] now [05:47] how can i use the mv command to turn "blah\file.txt" into "file.txt" then ? [05:47] putting filename in quotes and escaping the backslash doesnt work [05:48] you want all your files in 1 directory? [05:48] yup.. if the name matches [05:48] theres dozens of directories.. but i can type a couple dozen commands. better than a couple thousand [05:48] they are extracted to bla\file? [05:49] they are extraced AS "blah\file.zip" [05:49] thats a filename.. they are not in subdirectories [05:49] you're going to have to get into scripting [05:49] the backslash is part of the name. [05:49] directory walking [05:49] os.listdir [05:49] then recurse over directories [05:49] scirpting [05:49] i dont need to walk directories.. they are all already in one directory [05:49] ah.. the names [05:49] just the names [05:49] are full path [05:50] yup [05:50] the filename itself (not the path) includes the slashes [05:50] you could have duplicate filenames [05:51] htought ouf that? [05:51] thought [05:51] not an issue.. i just need to know how to do mv foo\bar.ext to bar.ext [05:51] there are no name clashes [05:52] you need a script [05:52] no way to use wildcards in the mv command ? [05:52] you are asking to reprocess the file name/location/definition [05:52] maybe ask in '#ubuntu [05:53] its geeky+ ie. linux command line if its possible [05:53] ok thanks for trying. appreciate it [05:53] MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD ALWAYS TO JUST WRITE A SCRIPT. [05:53] imo. [05:53] rather than getting into the nightmare world of esoteric command line manipulation [05:53] its fine, its efficient - its 1 off -- but why not just write a script [05:53] * nomic sighs [05:54] scripting is the whole swiss army knife .. awk .. also regex .. are 1 blade [05:54] ugly .. extremely primitive IMO ugly [05:54] 1 little tool to do 1 little job in 1 little limited way once [05:54] & the tool is no good for anything else [05:55] learn to script [05:55] far easier than looking into 19thc bash [05:55] now now.. its stil 20thc =-) [05:56] the accurate insult is bad enough [05:56] find a neckbeard [05:56] bbl [05:57] 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 [06:09] Good day. Please help. xrandr gives vga-1-2 and can not turn it off. What to do? [06:10] Добрый день. Прошу помощи. xrandr выдает vga-1-2 и не хочет выводить изображение на второй дисплей. Что делать? При загрузке системы изображение есть на обоих мониторах? [06:15] Hey!

[06:16] 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? [06:31] if ur a 'nedkbeerd' [06:31] how come you can't change a filename [06:38] 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? [06:39] roo79x: weird... that usually happens when im lazy and resting my thumb on the pad already [06:40] if you two finger click is it a "left" click? [06:41] consolidated, no it right clicks as well [06:42] settings -> mouse and touchpad all looks good? [06:43] yes all looks as it should I think, this is the first dell I have ever owned [06:53] my settings -> mouse and touchpad http://i57.tinypic.com/33cmzh5.png [06:56] weird. probably a driver issue but i don't know enough to help, sorry [06:57] some interesting googling about fixes with alps and dells though, if you feel like researching and trying it. [06:59] I have been googling but everything I try does not seem to help? I'll keep at it, thank you [09:45] Hello all, [09:49] 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? [09:50] xubuntu616, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware. xubuntu may also work. with those specs; eithor/or [09:51] wow the install worked. I need to reboot now. how do I get back to this irc/channel ? [09:51] It was an option to connect during the install. haha [09:52] xubuntu616, install hexchat. join #freenode > #xubuntu [09:55] install hexchat join #freenode > #xubuntu ---- ok, ty [09:55] how do I install hexchat? I am noob [09:56] xubuntu616, ubuntu software center [09:56] ok, ty I will reboot now. [10:42] cfhowlett_, or the really easy way... go to http://xubuntu.org/irc/ [10:42] knome, nice! do all the releases have that? [10:43] that's the web :P [10:43] but re: the installer slideshow, newer releases have a link from that to IRC [10:44] knome, right. goog reminder. [10:44] *good* [10:44] :) [11:33] well the 14.04 upgrade is running. cross fingers.

[22:22] good evening [22:22] !hi | esphera [22:22] 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! [22:23] 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] ok... i have to pastebin it, forgot sorry. [22:25] i have this setup: http://pastebin.com/ybyab2Qn [22:25] but im noticing that the system is very slow, and there are some graphic glitches [22:25] can someone help me solving this please? [22:26] appreciated [22:34] esphera: that's an ancient system, especially the geforce4 mx [22:35] esphera: you should disable the compositor (settings manager > window manager tweaks > last tab) [22:37] hey brainwash [22:37] shall i reboot? [22:38] no [22:38] so, there is no performance gain after disabling the compositor? [22:38] not much... [22:39] specially media on the browser [22:39] i can even view a youtube video on facebook [22:39] cant* [22:39] don't expect any miracles [22:40] did it work better at some point? [22:42] hum... probably before web 2.0 [22:43] so you mean i just have to bare with it [22:44] you could test a different distribution [22:44] one that targets low end hardware [22:45] what would you suggest? [22:45] but still.. software can't fix the problem if the hardware is just too old/slow [22:46] i just want to give this machine a chance... give it some purpose [22:46] you could try Lubuntu [22:46] or http://crunchbang.org/ (based on debian) [22:47] which is very lightweight [22:47] oh, but that's offtopic [22:47] !ot [22:47] #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.
